Chapter 29 Child Labour

The rain is falling again.

The mood of the crowd changed from joy at the beginning to fear.

Because the rain was so heavy that it was like an immortal pouring down on the sky.

Cheng Shui called Li Fan over early in the morning, and the two chatted for a few words, saying that this rain was afraid to make up for the amount of the past year.

"Hasn't the brother sent to Zengcheng to find out the news come back yet?"

"Homecoming, it should have arrived, but the rain continued, and it was unknown whether I was trapped in the middle of the road."

"I seem to remember, Shopkeeper Li's house is in Zengcheng, right?"

When this topic was mentioned, Li Fan finally showed a smile on his face.

"Yes, I have two daughters and a son with my wife, and my two daughters were born from one child, and they look almost the same, I am afraid that if the head of the family sees it, they may not be able to distinguish clearly." He said triumphantly.

Cheng Shuiguaner: "I have the opportunity to meet regularly." ”

"However, now that there are many displaced people, aren't you anxious?"

This time, Li Fan smiled: "The head of the family said that those homeless people are just a rabble. Shilong Town was attacked because of its small size and remote location. ”

His tone was very respectful, with a bit of trust: "Zengcheng is different, although it is not the head of Zhenbei like Shenguancheng, but it is also one of the three cities in Zhenbei. The imperial court attaches great importance to it, and the Taishou who guards the city is Zuo Fengmao, Zuo Lord. ”

Xu saw that Cheng Shui didn't understand very well, and Li Fan introduced: "This Lord Zuo is gentle and polite to us people on weekdays, and he can't bear to blame the beggars in the city when he sees them, and he gives them food." When the lonely old man knocked on the door, he would take him home and treat him well, and he was a very good person. ”

What he said was sincere, but Cheng Shui thought silently in his heart, no wonder Zengcheng fell so quickly in the book. At this time, the atmosphere of the imperial court was a bit like the Song Dynasty in the previous life, with civil control and martial arts, like Zengcheng, and the rights of the generals who defended the city were not too big.

And Zuo Taishou, although he is polite to the official, he treats people kindly. But the ancients said that mercy is not in charge of soldiers, righteousness is not in charge of wealth. He may have been a good man, but in the end, the people of the city suffered as a result of his delay in making a decision, and it was also predictable.

Cheng Shui sighed for this good man, picked up the teacup, and put it down again.

"Even though you say so, I would like to suggest that you take a few dozen brothers on a trip." She considered her words.

"First, we have established a base in Shilong Town to bring your family and family to ensure safety. The second is that I plan to build a school in the town, so that people in the town, regardless of gender, old and young, will learn to read and write in the future. ”

Wearing the era in this book, the best thing for Cheng Shui is that the idea of order has not yet solidified and decayed.

Although most of the women in this world are weak and can only take care of the trivial things at home, this is mostly a division of labor that is naturally formed by women's nature and natural strength compared to men.

This era does not restrict women from reading and writing, and there is no fallacy that "women are virtuous if they are not talented", just like Cheng Shui himself, or the original daughter Cheng Hui.

At this time, the bamboo carving knives used for reading are used, compared with the lightness of men, women's strength is weaker, and it is more difficult to learn. There are also few masters who teach and educate people, and the distance is long and inconvenient, so except for the masters who have passed the family and ask the masters to go to the house to educate their children, most of the people are men to study.

At this time, Cheng Shui proposed to open a school, regardless of gender. Don't talk about Shopkeeper Li, all the parents in the town probably won't refuse.

Li Fan fell into joy and forgot that Cheng Shui mentioned that regardless of men, women, and children, they must learn to read and write.

"Since the head of the house commanded it, then I will leave and bring them as soon as possible."

Cheng Shui's reaction to Li Fan had long been expected, and she didn't mean to teach how deep she was, but she just wanted to open a similar literacy class.

"There is another matter, if you go to Zengcheng this time, in addition to your family, you can also find some craftsmen who can burn charcoal and make iron, and bring them back together."

"What does this mean, master? There are also blacksmiths in Shilong Town. Li Fan was puzzled, and his eyes were confused.

Cheng Shuimian does not change color, this shopkeeper Li is good at everything, but there are more problems.

"Don't ask, you just do it. By the way, there are other craftsmen, as long as they know how to do the craft, and they have such a skill, you can bring them back. ”

"Yes...... Head of house. ”

Li Fan should be, complaining in his heart. Let's not talk about whether there are so many craftsmen, how can people who are willing to come to this small Shilong Town if they stay well in Zengcheng.

In the future, Shopkeeper Li slapped his face, so he won't mention it for the time being.

After sending him away, Cheng Shui found Cheng Shu again.

Since Old Man Cheng went to Xian, Cheng Guan has been teaching in the children's pile most of the time, and this time he wants to create a school in the town, which naturally belongs to him.

When Cheng Shu came, he thought that Cheng Shui was going to inquire about the town.

He has been busy with people on his back these days, so he is not Cheng Shui imagined, followed by a few small radish heads.

After listening to Cheng Shui, he smiled bitterly: "The head of the family doesn't know, I have been counting the materials in the town for the past two days, distributing houses to the villagers, and the heavy rain in the past two days, many houses are overwhelmed and need to be rebuilt." ”

Hearing him say this, Cheng Shui touched his nose.

Cheng Guan continued: "I haven't seen children for a long time, and the school that the head of the family said is not as powerful. However, if the head of the family just wants everyone to learn to read and write, there is no need for me to be like me, a few teenagers, Cheng San and Cheng Rui can do it. ”

Cheng Shui's heart moved, there are too few talents, and there are not many people who can use them.

She was bound by her original thinking, and she didn't expect to use child labor, but in this era, Cheng San and Cheng Rui are over 15 years old, and they can get married and discuss marriage, so they are not considered child labor......

"That's a good idea, as you say. The school is left to the two of them. ”

She made a final decision, and waited for the rain to stop and begin.

"What you just said, because of the heavy rain, the houses collapsed, how is the situation in the town." Solved the matter of the school, Cheng Shui cared about what Cheng Shui said.

This is also Cheng Guan's habit of being the village head, and in his sense of responsibility, he now regards Shilong Town as Changliu Village, and only thinks about solving these trivial matters for the villagers, and he never thinks of asking Cheng Shui for help.

"The situation is not very good, although this Shilong Town is small, but there are thousands of people, the houses have collapsed, and everyone has nowhere to go. The autumn wind was blowing, the wind and rain were combined, and many people couldn't support it and fell ill, alas. ”

Cheng Guan is really sad in his heart, when it doesn't rain, it's sad, and it's still sad when it rains.

"Don't worry, the collapse of the house is not necessarily a bad thing, it just happens to be rebuilt. As for the people who are sick, can you ask the old urchin to see it? Cheng Shui comforted.

"After reading it, the prescription was also prescribed, but fortunately it is not a very valuable thing. At that time, the displaced people grabbed food, and did not destroy these pharmacies. ”

Cheng Guan's tone softened slightly, and suddenly he went from managing hundreds of people to thousands of people, and he was also very stressed in his heart.

"That's fine."

Speaking of this, Cheng Shui's heart moved. The old urchin has good medical skills, can he let people learn from him?
