Chapter 1020: Changes in the lives of the small people
Because the steward gave a lot of money, Xile also reminded him kindly, "It's okay to live in this house with some guards, but the masters are not good to live here, it's moldy and broken, there are many people entering the city today, and the gentlemen want to live in a good inn, so it's best to book it now." In addition to the inn, there are also some families in the city who are willing to rent out their houses, but who rents the house has to go to the county government to ask. ”
The steward said that he understood, sent away the joy, and he immediately came back to Zhao Fan and Zhao Qingyu to report.
Zhao Fan and the others have already seen this house, it is not very big, but it is more than enough to put the goods they brought, and the livestock and carriages they brought can be placed here.
Zhao Fan and Zhao Qing only took a few guards and stewards, and the rest stayed here to guard the goods.
Zhao Hanzhang, a member of the Zhao family, has made arrangements, there are many vacant houses in Luoyang City, and it is not easy for people to live, but they can be used as warehouses.
Because of her action, she helped to share the pressure, so that there would not be a large number of convoys stuck in the streets with nowhere to go.
The people in Luoyang City were not stupid, and immediately had the courage to run to circle a few pieces of land for the merchants to park and put their goods, and they only collected some rent.
Business travelers don't want to agree, because there is no shelter here, not only is the safety factor not high, but in case of rain......
The young people said proudly: "Don't worry, this piece is covered by us, and there must be no problem with safety, it's raining?" At this time, how can it rain in Luoyang? So put a hundred hearts. ”
Seeing that they were still hesitating, he said: "There are limited warehouses in this Luoyang City, except for some big shops with warehouses, who will do this now?" And it's expensive for you to rent a warehouse, our land costs 50 yuan a day, and your goods are only 500 yuan for 10 days when they are stored here, which is cost-effective enough. ”
Only then were the business travelers persuaded to pay for renting land.
The people of Luoyang City saw that they all had cars and goods, and they were also very welcome, so they immediately packed up the extra rooms at home, even if there was no superfluous, they would squeeze out one room, and then warmly welcomed them into the house and rented the vacated room to them.
Most of them will also be responsible for their food, from the order to the noodles, so as to take care of the meals of their entire fleet of guys, and they can make a lot of money just cooking every day.
It is no worse than young men who go out to work.
The children in the family also used it, and they went to the city gate to be responsible for guiding the merchants and introducing accommodation, etc., and they could earn five or six wen after a trip, which was enough for a day's food.
Children don't want to go to school because they earn money and are happy.
"A-Niang, there are still a lot of people outside the city, I heard the official guarding the city gate say that the general has a special order, do not close the city gate tonight, and wait for all the convoys outside the city to enter the city." So the child also wants to stay up late, "I won't go to school tomorrow, I think I can run ten times a day, one trip earns five yuan, and ten trips are fifty yuan." ”
Not only does he not want to go to school tomorrow, but he also doesn't want to go to school the day after tomorrow, "Now there are more and more people coming to Luoyang, I am the most clever, they can't rob me, it's better that I won't go to school, go to the city gate every day to help people guide the way, I can run at least eight times a day, and make more money than adults." ”
His mother didn't wait for him to finish speaking, and began to turn her head to look for a stick, and when he finished speaking, the stick was in her hand, and she directly grabbed the person's arm and pumped it on the buttocks, "Don't go to school!" I told you not to go to school, so that you did not go to school......"
The boy jumped to dodge, but the stick always landed on his ass with precision, and he couldn't help but cry.
His mother also cried, dropped the stick and beat his buttocks with her hands, "This is the kindness of the girl to you, you used to want to go to school and the family couldn't afford it, it's rare to have such an opportunity, you can read and write without spending money, you still don't want to go?" ”
"How many years can you do it to attract people at the city gates? They only use you now that you are a child, and when you grow up in two years, who wants to let you lead the way? His mother patted his ass and said, "I don't know how important things are." ”
The boy cried and said, "But my sister is going to enter the school next year, and my mother is working too hard." ”
When his mother heard this, her face softened, and she said gently: "Don't worry, the girl has opened a new weaving mill in the city, and when the time comes, I can take over the short-term work of the weaving mill, plus farming, and I can afford to support you." ”
She lifted his clothes and wiped them on his face, wiped away her tears and snot, glanced at her with disgust, threw away her hand, and said, "You study hard, if you can be admitted to middle school in three years, you will not be able to enter Taixue in the future, and you can also go to the county government examination to be a small official." At the meeting two days ago, Li Zheng said that anyone who writes well and does arithmetic can go to the county government for the exam, and at the very least, he can become a clerk. ”
The more she talked, the more excited she became, looked at her son, and then looked at her daughter, and said: "You have always been naughty, and you never suffer a loss when you fight with others, and when you add martial arts classes to your school next year, you must also study hard, learn well, even if you are poor in study, you can go to the government service, your sister is like me, and smarter than you, maybe she is better at reading than you, and when she finishes three years of study, I will send her to middle school, and when the time comes, I will go to the recruitment examination, and I can't say that I can also be an official next to the girl in the future." ”
Because there are many female officials around Zhao Hanzhang, there are now two female assassins in Dajin, so now those who have daughters in the family also have some expectations, especially those who can see that they are smart, and they are even more hopeful.
Zhao Hanzhang's school was a private school at the beginning, mainly to appease the orphans, but also because the orphans were helpless, and they could be used in a few years after raising them, and most of them were loyal to her.
Later, she classified the school as a government school, and except for orphans, the rest of the school-age children could enter school for free for three years.
Oh, over six years old, under fourteen years old is considered the appropriate age.
Older ones, if they want to learn to read, there are also lecture halls in the army and workshops, and they can become her soldiers and workers.
However, this regulation was issued in the middle of last year, and then the war began, and although the local government continued to govern, the main focus was still on the war, so the enforcement of this regulation was not strict.
This family is because her mother is open-minded and knows the benefits of reading, so as soon as the regulations came out, Li Zheng greeted her, and she immediately took her school-age son to the school for enlightenment.
Most of her neighbors kept their children at home and didn't send them to school.
Some people are worried, "Is there such a thing as a pie in this world?" ”
"Reading is something that only scholars can do, so how can we people deserve to read?" They suspected that the officials of the yamen were trying to trick them into the academy, and then let them pay the money, and then they were afraid that they would have to go bankrupt to pay the tuition fees.
"Fart, this school is opened by a girl, does the girl know? When she was in Yuzhou, she opened a school, took in orphans, and taught them to read and learn skills, how could she deceive people? ”
