Chapter 24: Resistance

Xin Wuzuo was silent, and Xin Duan's face was pale.

If you talk about mouth cannon alone, they are not Xin You's opponent at all.

Seeing that Xin Wuzuo was completely suppressed by Xin, Xin Duan could only stand up by himself.

"Gentleman, what Uncle Zong means is that he is afraid that someone will waste farming in order to obtain an official and a half-position, one or two are okay, if there are too many such people, we in Xinyi may not even have people to farm."

Xin did his best to care about the big things in the city.

Xin didn't want to tear his face with him yet, so his tone softened: "Uncle doesn't have to worry about these things." Just recognize a few words, when the farmers are idle, the people are just fighting, gambling and fighting, anyway, they are idle, people who want to read to learn Braille, should not delay anything. ”

Xin Duan still wanted to refute, but some Chinese people coaxed: "The old man of the Xin family, I am afraid that everyone can read and settle accounts, and the official position of the Xin family will not have the share of the Xin family." ”

"Haha, it must be like that."

Xin Duan's face turned purple, and he turned his head to find the person who spoke, but the sky was dark, and the head was pressing on the head, where did he find these people?

"Uncle, the job of Doctor Yi is to educate the people of the country, and this is also the purpose of my school." Xin said: "You have been to Zhengguo in the early years, you should know that Zhengguo Township School is not only a place for Chinese people to discuss national affairs, but also a place for officials to teach!" ”

"......" is powerless to refute, because it is.

In the Spring and Autumn Period, the township schools originally had the function of educating the nobles, and Xin only expanded this function to the Chinese people.

"Okay, then I hope the gentleman can teach a group of talented people as soon as possible."

After Xin Duan finished speaking, he turned around and left.

Xiao Wu glanced at Xin You, then at Xin Duan, and finally followed Xin Duan.

"This old guy must not be holding back any good fart." Xin said secretly in his heart.

Xin had been thinking about the establishment of a public school in the township school for several days.

He felt that this matter was much more important than making distilled spirits, and of course it was much more difficult.

The opposition is just the beginning.

There are also the Cheng family and the Yin family in the back, and they will definitely not allow so many literate and hyphenated people in Xinyi to exist.

That would shake the foundations of their rule.

But that's exactly what Xin wants to achieve.

"From tomorrow onwards, I will gather here every day after dinner, and I will teach the people of the country to read and count."

Some of the people were excited, some were confused, and some showed a hint of timidity on their faces.

Read?

For most Chinese people, this is something they never dare to think of in their lifetime.

"If you can teach a few bookkeepers, it will be enough......"

Xin looked at the countrymen who left again, and said faintly.

The three elders have been in control of Xinyi for too long, and even when Xin is not sick, they can't completely control the three elders.

These three men held the financial power of Xinyi, which was their foundation.

If you want to shake this foundation, Xin You must have his own talents in his hands to deal with these three old guys.

……

Late at night, Xin Duan and several clan elders of the Xin clan were gathering together.

"The patriarch seems to have gone insane."

Xin Duan said.

Xin Wuzuo said: "Let the people know how to read? It's a shame that he came up with it! ”

"Yes! Even in our Xin family, only a few of us can enter the school to study, is that Xin and that kid going to move our Xin school's school to the township school?! ”

"He must not be allowed to do this!" Xin Duan said: "One of the conditions for Xinyi to select officials is to recognize big characters, or to be able to calculate, if everyone has mastered such skills, do you want us to give up these positions obediently?" ”

"Uncle is right." Xin Wuzuo said: "For hundreds of years in Xinyi, each family has been in charge of their own affairs, and this cannot be changed!" ”

"That's right! Can't change!"

Several famous old men of the Xin clan all said one after another.

Jin Guo worked hard to "dial", and they also understood the pros and cons of this matter.

"Uncle, what do you say!" Xin Yuanyi, Xin Duan's nephew, asked.

"Tell everyone, never go to the gentleman to learn to read, without our support, I see that he can last a few days!"

Xin Duan's face showed a hint of cruelty.

In the clans of the Cheng clan and the Yin clan, there is also news that has been handed down.

Even a few small clans were given the same order.

The patriarchs of those small clans did not dare to offend the big clans, so they naturally agreed seriously.

Someone is preventing, and someone is expecting.

Some young people, led by Du Gan, had already made up their minds that no matter who stopped them, they would follow Xin You to learn to read and count.

……

When he returned home, Xin You, thought about how to deal with these people.

When he decided that he would run a township school in a township school, he had already thought of a countermeasure.

He sat in the room, lit a green lamp, and began to think about how to make distilled spirits.

The principle of distilling liquor is very simple, that is, the alcohol is distilled from the original liquor by using the different boiling points of wine and water.

Xin Yi didn't have a ready-made still, everything had to be created by Xin You's own hands.

"Gentleman, it's time to rest......"

Wei on the side reminded Xin again softly.

"You go to sleep first, I'll have to wait a while." Xin didn't raise his head again.

Wei no longer spoke, but held the lamp in her hand and watched Xin draw on the ground with a branch.

Xin's home was not luxurious, and the patriarch's house did not pave the floor with stones, and the soil was directly exposed.

It's a great panel.

Soon, with his impressions, Xin drew a strange thing.

"Gentleman, what is this......

Wei knelt on the ground and looked at the pattern that Xin had sketched out of the twigs.

"This is called the heavenly pot, and if we want to be rich in Xinyi in the future, we will rely on it."

"Tianguo ......" Wei silently remembered the name.

"Alright, let's sleep!"

Xin stretched again, he was too tired these days.

Director Wei untied Xin You's clothes and wanted to change Xin You's clothes.

"This ...... I'll do it myself. ”

Xin was still very unaccustomed to Wei's service.

Wei didn't say anything, for her, Xin You's order was the supreme holy decree.

Xin had just taken off his outer coat when Wei brought a wooden barrel.

There was hot air in the wooden barrel, and it was a bucket of boiling water.

"Gentleman, wash your feet."

Wei's beautiful eyes moved slightly, which was very moving.

This time, Xin didn't refuse.

Wei tested the temperature of the water and felt comfortable before putting Xin You's feet in.

Xin felt a pang of relaxation and lay on her back on the couch.

This is the aristocrat of the Spring and Autumn Period, even if he is just a small soldier, he can make such a beauty pinch his feet and beat his back.

If you become a great nobleman, you don't know how luxurious your life will be.

Even if Xinyou's purpose is not to live a luxurious life, who doesn't yearn for such a life?

"Wei, you're from Wangcheng, right?" Xin asked suddenly.

Wei's hand paused for a moment before she said, "Yes, gentleman." ”

"Your master, south?"

Vi nodded.

In fact, Xin had already guessed this.

Wei's original owner may have been from the prince's group.

In the process of following the prince to the south, Wei was left behind.

"Your original master may not be coming back...... Xin said again.

"I know......" Wei lowered her head, "I will always serve the gentleman." ”

"I don't mean that, I mean, your master is gone, so you don't have to call yourself a slave." Xin said again.

"Never." Wei was so frightened that she quickly knelt on the ground: "Gentleman, Wei knows her identity, she can dress as a gentleman and an old lady, Wei is already very happy, a gentleman must not do anything for Wei." ”

Wei trembled on the ground, she had been a slave since she was a child, and she had already identified herself, who said that letting her out of slavery would be as terrible as a crime to her.

"No matter what the gentleman asks Wei to do, Wei will do it, Wei just begs the gentleman not to do anything for Wei anymore......"

Wei's tears flowed again.

"Hey, get up."

Xin said helplessly.
