Chapter 172: The Beginning of the Heart
He found that he admired more and more that he could not only chant poetry and words, but also put down his body and entangle with those deceitful businessmen to the end.
Ning Wuxian saw Cheng Yi's eyes looking at him, it was called a worship.
Even if he knew that Cheng Yi didn't mean anything else, he inevitably felt that he was indeed too chic.
Originally, he had planned to save some pocket money, and stretched out his palm directly towards Yunfei.
"Get all the money out."
Yunfei glanced at the children not far away, not disturbed by the outside world at all, and lowered his head to the children who were writing in the sand.
Without saying a word, he took out all the silver tickets, along with the five taels of silver on his body.
"Childe, it's thirty-five thousand and five taels in total."
And a fraction of five taels?
Ning Wuxian glanced at Yun Fei, who had turned his face away, in surprise, and guessed where the five taels came from.
Thinking that it was time to give Yunfei, the guard, a salary increase this month, he didn't take it out separately, and handed it over to Cheng Yi.
Cheng Yi held a thick stack of silver tickets, and his face was full of confusion: "Brother Ning, why did you give me so much money?" ”
The construction of village schools has long been without so much money.
The students who come to teach are also spontaneously organized and take classes for free.
Cheng Yi knew that money was very important, but with so much money, he really had nowhere to spend it.
"It's not for you."
Ning Wuxian saw that he would be wrong, and said that he would settle the wounded soldiers, come with their families, and maybe expand the village school.
"I plan that not only those children, but also some wounded soldiers who want to learn a physical skill, will also be included in the village school, you are more familiar with the construction of the village school, take the money, go back to the Jiang prefect to discuss what to do."
In the matter of dealing with wounded soldiers, since Jiang Yan participated, he must make some achievements.
In addition, the number of wounded soldiers gathered is too large, and if there is no official guarantee for it, it is easy to become a lever for others to attack.
It is very useful to pull the "current official" backer of Jiang Yan.
Cheng Yi was even more confused.
Isn't he just running a village school to increase his life experience.
Why is it that in addition to the hundreds of children in a few nearby villages, there are other children, not to mention, even those wounded soldiers have to be taught?
"Brother Ning, apart from teaching reading and literacy, I can't do anything else!"
"That's why I'm giving you money so that you can hire some teachers who are willing to teach."
After Ning Wuxian explained the reason for taking out the money, Cheng Yi first suddenly realized, and then frowned.
A little off.
He ran a village school just to teach and educate people, how could the prefect Jiang Yan join hands and start the matter of resettling wounded soldiers?
"Brother Ning, I'm not ready to enter Rentu."
The longer he stayed here to teach, the more Cheng Yi felt that he preferred teaching and educating people to the intriguing officialdom.
If the construction of village schools in many places is completed, it will not only be a local merit, but also add a luster to his personal resume.
If this matter is reported back to the family, there is no need to wait for him to be the top three in the spring examination next year, and he will be recommended to enter the court as an official.
"Brother Ning, don't hide it, I won the last autumn exam, and then I pretended to be sick and avoided the spring exam, just because I don't know what official I want to be, I know that this matter is a good thing, or you can directly hand over the money to Jiang Yan and let him do it."
Cheng Yi said that he wanted to push the money back.
Ning Wuxian's face furrowed violently, and his face was pale.
Cheng Yi observed his words and looks, and saw that Ning Wuxian was not happy with his approach, and if he was someone else, he would have thrown the silver ticket and silver on the other party a long time ago.
But in the face of Brother Ning, whom he respected the most, Cheng Yi's hands could only hover in mid-air, not yet, not yet.
"Cheng Yi."
Ning Wuxian stretched out his hand and patted Cheng Yi's shoulder, and said seriously: "I've also been confused, so I just thought of giving you a chance to do what you love for the rest of your life." ”
This is a bit of a twist, but smart as Cheng Yi suddenly understood.
Brother Ning donated money to build a village school, and it may not simply be that he wants to build a village school.
"Brother Ning, do you want to build a United Academy and ask me to be the dean?"
Cheng Yi's eyes lit up.
This errand is good.
Although the identity of the dean of the village school is difficult to be recognized, it is at least a serious matter.
Behold.
Ning Wuxian shook his head and said in a straight voice: "I think that according to Brother Cheng's ability, it is really condescending to be the head of a courtyard. ”
If only the students listen to Cheng Yi's words, it may be because Cheng Yi is righteous.
If the children listen to Cheng Yi's words, it may be that Cheng Yi has strong teaching skills.
If Chengyi can coordinate the learning and teaching of the children and students in a very short time, it can also allow the villagers to spontaneously free up a certain amount of time to send the children to study in one time period.
It shows that Chengyi has the ability to coordinate the demands of various groups.
Moreover, Chengyi treats people with sincerity, and with such blessings, Chengyi will go further on this road.
"Brother Cheng, Jinling is a rich place, there are many businessmen, and the wages are higher than other places, but in this world, there are still countless children who want to learn, but there is no way, what is your original intention of staying here to build a village school?"
Cheng Yi was stunned for a moment.
He glanced at those familiar young faces, and suddenly remembered if he had not come here by chance, but elsewhere, if he would have had the urge to build a village school.
Yes!
The voice from the depths of his heart lifted Cheng Yi's spirits.
He seems to understand.
"What Brother Ning means is that he wants me to take advantage of this matter to make a name for myself and promote the village school after achieving certain achievements?"
"It's just an idea, if you join forces with Master Jiang, you can ask him to introduce you to Su Tingshi, if you can add a new official position for you in the scientific examination series, and let you be in charge of village education, will you still be excluded from being an official?"
Ning Wuxian's words allowed Cheng Yi to open the door to a new world.
That's right.
There is no official position in the officialdom that he likes to do, he can create it!
At the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China, the official system of the Three Princes and the Nine Secretaries was still used, and later reformed.
As long as he shows his results, he will ask his family to help him run it, and give him a free position in the scientific examination system, or in the Hanlin Bachelor or Guozijian, which will be of great help to him in building a village school.
Not to mention anything else, at least when you go to the government to approve the land for village school, you won't be eaten and asked for cards!
And after he became an official, he was able to recommend ordinary people who were really talented but not from high backgrounds.
"Brother Ning, I'm willing to be this official!"
Cheng Yi unknowingly, following the goal of village learning, he has stepped onto a new level on the ultimate goal of life.
He was scrappy at this time.
I can't wait to pull Jiang Yan now and tell him his ideas and ideas for the construction of village studies in the entire Jinling area.
But after the failure of running a school, he also understood that what it means to be quick is not enough.
With only 35,000 taels of silver in his hand, he must first take the first step steadily, and then use Brother Ning's model, which can transport laborers and give back to local rich peasants or merchants, and repeat the success.
"Brother Ning, I'll go find Lord Jiang."
"Brother Qin, don't write in it, come out and help me take a look at the children, I'll go to the government to do something!"
Cheng Yi belongs to the hot-blooded and impulsive type that has a goal and immediately goes to do things.
Even if experience makes him more stable in his work, his heart will not change.
Cheng Yi put the silver ticket in his arms, rode on his horse with the guards, and rode away in the direction of the city under the scorching sun.
Ning Wuxian looked at his distant back, watching Cheng Yi step out of a path on the green grassy field, and only hoped that when the road ahead was full of thorns, Cheng Yi would be able to go forward to Tiger Mountain.
After all.
This road is not only for people like Cheng Yi who have ideals and family backgrounds, but may successfully reach the goal.
In other words, even if it is him, because he does not have the enthusiasm and impulse of Cheng Yi, it is difficult to persevere to the end.
"How did Cheng Gongzi say that he ran away?"
Shen Youchu's question drew his gaze back.
Ning Wuxian realized that he was too engaged in talking, and he didn't pay attention to Shen Youchu actually really following up.
"Who knows, before I could tell him, Jiang Yan hadn't returned to Jinling yet, and he ran away."
He thinks it's good to take the opportunity to sharpen Cheng Yi's temperament.
Unexpectedly.
Shen Youchu tilted his head and sighed: "I still plan to donate money, he runs so fast, I don't want to chase him." ”
