When the people said this, Xin breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

Sure enough, no one wants to be at the mercy of others forever.

These people will listen to the patriarch, but they can tell in their hearts what is right and what is wrong.

Xin is not in a hurry, he doesn't need Xinyi to learn from the whole people, he only needs to cultivate a few people in this group who can really help him.

The rest of the people can probably calculate a simple account, can recognize a few words, and that's it.

"Yin Qiu, if you want to leave, let's go." Xin said: "As for the story, I will tell it every day, and you can still listen to it if you want to, but you have to wait until I finish teaching the words." ”

With that, Xin waved his hand again, signaling those who didn't want to read to leave the township school first.

There are still some people who dare not offend the three elders and walk out of the township school.

However, they did not go far, but stood outside the village school.

After all, they are still waiting for Xin to tell the story later.

There are still more people who stay than there were yesterday's people.

"Gentleman, I'm not here to hear stories."

Du Gan said: "I want to know how to read, and I also want to learn the method of calculation!" ”

"That's right! Me too! ”

Another Chinese said.

Even Fan Da didn't leave: "I also want to know how to read!" ”

"Fan Da, I didn't expect you to love reading so much?" One of Yin's disciples laughed.

You know, Fan Da is a well-known lazy man in Xinyi.

Even his own land can be "borrowed", and he can cook a mouthful of food for others every day.

"What? I just don't like farming, but I love to read, can't I? Fan Da asked rhetorically.

"Yes, of course." Xin said again: "But I still have to say that our Xinyi is basically farming, so I can only teach you when the farm is slack." Whoever has a bad crop should not come to me to learn how to read. ”

Xin You's face became serious, and everyone followed him into a state of learning.

The word taught the next day is "people".

By the time these people had learned the same, it was already dark.

"Alright, I'll tell you a story."

People outside the township school also walked in one after another.

Xin did not break his promise and continued to talk about Journey to the West.

Yesterday, there were very few people coming to the village school.

Xin chose to use "stories" to attract more people.

There are more people coming today, and Xin doesn't have to use yesterday's means to keep people.

Among these people, there are always those who want to learn words seriously, and there will be more and more of them.

The story is told every day, and as long as these people are used to coming to the village school, then one day curiosity and inertia will drive them into Xin You's classroom.

Sure enough, on the third day, there were more people in the class.

Some people are too lazy to wait, and they are idle anyway, so it is better to come in and recognize a few words.

Some people wanted to read and write, but they didn't dare to come in because of the instructions of the clan elders.

But seeing more and more people entering the township school, this part of the people also boldly walked in.

By the fifth day, there were almost as many people listening to stories as there were people who could read.

The story of Journey to the West has already told Gao Laozhuang.

Of course, compared to the entire Xinyi, there are still a few people who come to read and write.

The vast majority of people are still staying at home, not caring about what is happening in the township school.

Or think of a way to destroy Xin You's school.

……

Xinyi, the house of Xinyi.

"Uncle, there are more and more people going to the township school these days!"

Xin Wuzuo said anxiously: "I heard that Xin will teach them the method of arithmetic in two days, if someone really learns how to arithmetic, then ......"

"What then?" Xin Qian said coldly: "Are you afraid that the bad things you did would be discovered." ”

"Uncle! I didn't do anything!! Xin Wuzuo said.

"You and Cheng Boyu, the master of Lu, and Yin Ke helped Xinyi sell grain and wine last year, how much of the money was handed over to Yizhong, and how much was taken by you yourself, don't you know in your heart?"

The public grain in the city, throwing away the tribute to be handed over to the royal family, occasionally has some surplus.

The sale and storage of these surplus grains were carried out by the officials in these towns.

Xin Wuzuo and Cheng Boyu are incompetent because of Xin, and most of the Chinese people are illiterate, so they naturally made some tricks in it.

So the city was empty, but these officials became richer and richer.

The people who can find these things are basically Xinyi's little officials, and these people have long been in the same league as Xin Wuzuo and others.

Ordinary Chinese people, even if they put those account books in front of them, they can't read a single word.

Besides, the grain sold is all public grain from the public field, and it has little to do with their own grain.

In fact, these methods have been used by people for a long time in later generations.

Therefore, the traverser Xin You, has long been mentally prepared for this situation.

What Xin Wuzuo is most afraid of now is that these things are discovered by the people, so his position as the third elder will definitely not be kept.

"Uncle! I've helped us a lot over the years, and besides, you know how I treat you! Xin Wuzuo was anxious: "We must stop the township school in that township school!" ”

Xin Duan snorted coldly: "Of course I won't let him run this township school!" ”

"Uncle, what do you say I should do? I'll listen to you all. Xin Wuzuo said.

Xin thought for a while and said: "This kid is telling some strange things every day, which has attracted many Chinese people, if we don't come to be tough, we won't be able to stop Chinese people from going to the township school." ”

"That's right, then Journey to the West is really interesting." Xin Wuzuo has actually often heard people talk about Journey to the West in the past few days, especially the part of the Heavenly Palace that makes trouble for Haotian God, which is really exciting.

"Interesting? Then you can also go to the township school to listen! Xin Duan frowned.

"Don't dare, don't dare, uncle, please continue."

Xin Duan said: "You go down and tell those Xin children who love to go to the township school, if you go to the township school to learn calligraphy again, their food will be purchased from the bulk during the winter this year!" ”

"Huh? This ......" Xin Wuzuo hesitated for a moment, and then said, "This is really a good way!"

Every winter, there will always be some people who have no food because of the bad harvest.

Generally speaking, the public in Xinyi will sell or distribute some grain to help these people survive the New Year.

Among the six townships, there are also special "bereaved people" who are responsible for giving favors to the people, and using the township and township commissions - that is, the money and grain stored by the government - to relieve the victims.

Xinyi is far away from Liuxiang, and he must not be able to count on the township, so he can only rely on the accumulation of his own Yi.

Xinyi's commission is in the hands of the Xin family, and Xin You's brother Xin Yun serves as the widow.

If there is no bereaved person to distribute the accumulation, the Chinese can also go to the big clan and large family to borrow grain.

For example, go to Fan's and Yin's to borrow some grain.

Literacy or anything is not as important as this year's winter.

Xin Duan also grasped this key point and wanted to force the people to leave Xin You's school.

At the same time, the patriarchs of the Fan clan and the Yin clan also told the clansmen and those small clans that the meaning was similar to that of Xinduan.

Sure enough, by the afternoon of the sixth day, the number of people who came to the township school was less than half of the first day!

"Du Gan, do you know what's going on?" Xin asked again.

Du Gan was well-informed and told Xin Yousan the news that had been spread.

"So that's ......" Xin said secretly, "I finally touched their scales, and this time I have to face these three old guys at the same time." ”

Seeing that Xin was silent again, Du Gan asked: "Gentleman, this year's harvest in Xinyi is very average, and it is reasonable for many Chinese people to worry that they will not be able to pass the New Year, after all, grain is the most important thing." ”

"Well, I understand, that is, if I solve the food problem, no one in my school will be able to stop me!"

Xin said again.

"But this grain ...... It's the hardest thing to solve. Du Gan smiled bitterly.
