Datang Nongwang

Chapter 605
Li Chongyuan actually understood what Xiang Si said.

As long as it is related to scholars, it must be a big thing.

If he is a little careless, Li Chongyuan may become the target of public criticism, and become the target of all scholars' attacks, then Li Chongyuan will be unable to move an inch.

but.

Education is the top priority.

The current literacy rate can be said to be too low, too low to a terrible level.

Take Li Village as an example.

There are [-] or [-] families with a total of [-] people, and only five of them can read.

With such a low literacy rate, it can be seen that the current reading has become something that can't wait to change.

but.

Li Chongyuan never thought of promoting hard pens as soon as he came up.

Li Chongyuan, who knew it well, looked back and said to Si: "Don't worry, I will implement the hard pen in Li Village first, and then implement it according to the situation. If those scholars in Yangzhou have opinions, let them do it at that time." Go face the people."

In fact, Li Chongyuan still had some confidence in his heart.

Based on Li Chongyuan's reputation in Yangzhou, as long as he comes to a free education, all the people will flock to him, chasing after Li Chongyuan's reputation, sending their own children to study in the school run by him.

Li Chongyuan's prestige accumulated over the past two years in Yangzhou.

It can completely overwhelm those so-called scholars.

"Xiao Langjun, are you not afraid that these scholars will write letters to the court? This is no small matter, I think you should take your time, there is really no rush." ​​Xiang Si was a little worried that Li Chongyuan would be punished if he stepped on this step. Attacked by scholars.

Li Chongyuan didn't take it seriously.

There is a saying.

As long as you want to do it, even if it is difficult, you have to do it.

There must be difficulties, but if you don’t even do it, then there is no difficulty, “Try it first. In short, the school in Li Village must hurry up. So many children gather together, day by day. I have nothing to do, and I'm afraid that they will go to the mountains to clear the mountains. Moreover, the water workers and the boat workers will not be able to take care of them when they are busy. If something happens again, it will be a big deal. "

Xiang Si nodded helplessly, as a response to Li Chongyuan's decision.

With Li Chongyuan's proposal.

In the afternoon, Xiang Si started preparations.

Building a school is a big deal.

This is not.

When the villagers in the village, the elders of the water workers, the people from the shipyard, and the Wang family heard about this, they couldn't wait to surround Xiangsi.

Everyone chattered to Xiang Si to inquire about the school.

"Officer Xiang, does the Marquis of County Li really want to build a school here? Then can my children go to the school? How much does Shuxiu cost?"

"Boss Xiang, where is the school built? Old man, although I am not physically strong, I can carry it around."

"Boss Xiang, can my little ones go to school? But my family is poor, and I don't know if I can afford the repair money."

"Boss Xiang, the kids in my family are very smart, can you just listen to the teacher's lecture outside the school?"

Everyone was talking so much that Xiang Si didn't know how to answer.

And just when Xiang Si was about to answer, Steward Wang Sheng suddenly grabbed Xiang Si's arm, and asked eagerly: "Steward Xiang, you see we are old friends, can you reserve some places for me?" what?"

"You? Manager Wang, you don't have any family here. You don't mean to move your family here, do you?" Seeing Wang Sheng's eager questioning, Xiang Si felt a little puzzled.

Wang Sheng smiled embarrassedly and said: "Master Xiang, you also know that we may have to live here for a long time, so I am also going to ask my husband and the Marquis of Li County to mention it. At that time, I will My family, as well as the families of those below me, may also move here. You also know that there is nothing to say about Li Xianhou as a man. As long as this school is established, we will definitely support it. Regardless of the amount of money No matter how much, we will not be less."

"So that's what happened. But when you said that, I remembered something. Your husband said he came several months ago, why hasn't he come yet?" Xiang Si finished listening. After Wang Sheng's explanation, it became clear.

When Wang Sheng saw Xiangsi asked about his lord, he responded directly: "Guan Xiang, my lord originally said he would come over, but after receiving the letter from the lord, my lord went straight back to Jinyang. . Otherwise, my husband would have come a few months ago."

"So that's what happened. But, you have to tell your lord, my little lord asked about your lord yesterday, you'd better let your lord come to Xixiang recently .” After Xiang Si got the explanation, he couldn’t criticize anything.

after all.

Wang Ting has something to go back to Jinyang, so it can't be said that Wang Ting is not trustworthy.

After Wang Sheng agreed, he stopped talking about his family's husband, but still asked about the school.

Xiang Si was overwhelmed by the questioning, so he quickly suppressed his hands and told everyone to stop asking, "Everyone, my little man said that as long as the school is built, you don't need to pay for this bunch of repair money. In addition, pen and ink You don’t need to pay for the paper and inkstone. As long as the children meet the study requirements, they can enter the school. But there is no school yet, so this is just a proposal of my little man. However, it is not until next year There are still a few months, as long as we build this school within these few months, my little lord will definitely inform you about the specifics of the little ones' studies. Don't be in a hurry."

When everyone heard Xiang Si's words, everyone started to go crazy.

Going to school doesn't take money for repairs, not even money for pens, ink, paper and inkstones, there are still such good things in this world.

but.

When everyone thought of Li Chongyuan's character, they lost all doubts at all.

"Okay, Li County Hou Dashan."

"The Marquis of Li County is a great benevolent person. If there is no Marquis of Li County, we don't know where to ask for work."

"As long as Li Xianhou speaks, we will take care of the school."

"That is, although our legs and feet are not good, we can still lift them up and down."

"Speak to the steward, what do you want to do?"

Xiang Si's ears were very satisfied with everyone's compliments.

My little lord has to spend a lot of money to build a school, which is a matter of benefiting the people and the country.

Seeing that everyone's emotions were so high, Xiang Si directly led everyone to start looking for a place to build a school in the village.

And that afternoon, the location of the school had already been confirmed, and Wang Sheng didn't even need to tell Si, Wang Sheng directly led the people under him to help with the construction.

As for the elders of the various water workers, or the elders of the boat workers, what's more, those little children all came to help after they heard that a school was going to be built so that they could also study in the future.

Being busy is definitely not going to help much, but small jobs can still be done.

For example, picking up stones, or picking up stones and other small tasks, these children are also within their capabilities.

Li Chongyuan looked at the construction of the school, which made everyone's emotions so high, and he was very happy in his heart.

night.

Li Chongyuan asked Xiang Siluo to list some trustworthy people in the village, "Xiang Si, are these people really useful? For example, after the hard pen workshop is set up, don't let others learn how to make hard pens."

"Xiao Langjun, I've thought about this too. How about letting these people sign a contract of sale?" Xiang Si also couldn't guarantee whether the people he recommended were trustworthy or not.

Signing the deed of sale is also the most normal practice at the moment.

However, Li Chongyuan did not want to control these people in this way.

after all.

Once the deed of sale is signed, the ancestors will belong to the Li family for generations, even if their children will be from the Li family in the future.

This is contrary to Li Chongyuan's philosophy.

Furthermore, even if you sign the deed of sale, if you really want to leak the secret, a deed of sale can only prevent gentlemen but not villains.

Moreover, even if one can guard against a gentleman, one can also guard against a villain. If someone really wants to play with Li Chongyuan's formula and just tie up his little baby, a bond of prostitution will not be able to prevent the leak of the formula at all.

Li Chongyuan shook his head, "I don't need to sign the deed of sale. It's not necessary, so use these people. However, you still have to do a good job of confidentiality measures. In addition, you recently arranged for the villagers of Fufeng Village to leave, and directly arranged Go to Fengli. There are not so many fields in Li Village, but they can't support so many people. It just so happens that there is no one in the fields that the Fang family compensated me in Fengli. I'm looking for someone too."

The villagers of Fufeng Village have been living in Li Village for more than a year.

Although he also works, Li Chongyuan's fief only has so many fields.

Even with the promotion of Li Chongyuan's title, the field has expanded, but it still cannot support so many people.

Just right.

The Fang family took away all the tenants from Fengli, and the villagers of Difufeng Village happened to have a place to go.

Xiang Si nodded and agreed to what Li Chongyuan had told him.

The personnel of the hard pen production workshop are finalized.

The location of the workshop has also been finalized. Just in the northwest of Li Village, there are several small houses that can be used as workshops.

the next day.

Li Chongyuan left Li Village with the people and headed for Xixiang County.

Li Chongyuan has been in Xixiang for several days, but he never went to Xixiang.

It wasn't that Li Chongyuan didn't want to go, but that the time hadn't come yet, and the things about the shipyard were holding him back, so today was considered free time.

In fact, there are still a few days left to take office.

but.

Li Chongyuan has already settled his own affairs at this moment, so it is natural for him to take office.

A group of more than a hundred people entered Xixiang County.

This made the soldiers guarding the city gate a little nervous after watching such a large number of people enter the city, but fortunately he saw Xiang Si, and he relaxed a lot.

These soldiers naturally knew Xiangsi.

After entering the city, Li Chongyuan summoned Xiang Si who was outside the carriage, "Xiang Si, go and inquire about the master, as well as straw paper, charcoal, and carpenters. Remember, carpenters need to be very skilled, so don't look for them." Some two-legged cats come back."

"Xiao Langjun, don't worry. I know this well." Xiang Si assured.

Li Chongyuan nodded, and the carriage continued to move forward.

Xiangsi took people to do his business, while Li Chongyuan went straight to the state government.

When Li Chongyuan and his group came to the state yamen, the guard who was guarding the state yamen was a little overwhelmed by surprise, "Mr. Li Xian, I greet you."

When the guards saw a large group of people like Li Chongyuan appearing, they were shocked at first, but luckily they knew Li Chongyuan, so they rushed to the carriage to salute him.

"This official is here to take up his post. Do you have any official documents from the court?" Li Chongyuan glanced at the guards and asked casually.

When Li Chongyuan said this, the guards were taken aback for a moment, and then shook their heads, "Li County Marquis, we are just guards, we really don't know about the affairs of the court. Li County Marquis, how about Please go into the yamen and ask Zhu Biejia?"

The guards don't know these things.

but.

When they heard that Li Chongyuan came to Xixiang to take up the post, they were astonished.

Li Chongyuan didn't explain, and after explaining to Xingba and the others a few times, after leaving the guards behind, he led Xingba and the others towards the state government office.

Just when Li Chongyuan and the others entered the front yard of the government office, they met Zhu Biejia and the others who had received the news from the guards and came out to welcome them.

Among the few people who greeted them.

In addition to Zhu Shengzhi, the highest official in Yangzhou, there are also some other officials in Yangzhou.

Even Ye Wen, the county magistrate of Xixiang, was among them.

And when Ye Wen, the county magistrate of Xixiang, saw Li Chongyuan, his expression became very unnatural, and he even became a little nervous.

months ago.

Li Chongyuan put down his cruel words.

The petty official who coveted Li Chongyuan's money and food was Ye Wen's brother-in-law, and Ye Wen also promised that he would give Li Chongyuan a satisfactory answer.

Li Chongyuan did not receive the reply.

At that time, Li Chongyuan hurried back to Chang'an because he received an urgent letter from Chang'an.

As for Li Chongyuan's visit to Chang'an this time, it will take about a month.

Several months have passed, and Li Chongyuan came to Xixiang once again, and suddenly, it would be strange if Ye Wen was not nervous.

In addition to Ye Wen being nervous, even Zhu Shengzhi, the other driver, felt a little nervous. He was very afraid that Li Chongyuan would come to Xixiang again, and whether he would do something earth-shattering again.

No one expected that Li Chongyuan would return again after leaving for a few months.

"The presence of the Marquis of Li County really makes Yangzhou more prosperous. Didn't Marquis Li leave Yangzhou a few months ago? Could it be that Marquis Li has something to do yet?" Zhu Shengzhi saw Li Chongyuan, first After saluting, he asked in a tentative tone.

From Zhu Shengzhi's questioning words, Li Chongyuan could hear it.

It is estimated that the official documents of the court have not been sent to Xixiang, otherwise, it is absolutely impossible for Zhu Shengzhi not to know that Li Chongyuan is going to Yangzhou to serve as the governor.

Li Chongyuan smiled and said: "It seems that Zhu Biejia has not received the official document from the court. But it doesn't matter, I have the official document from the official department here. Line eight, take out the official document from the official department and give it to Zhu Biejia first Take a look. Come to think of it, in the next two days, the official documents from the imperial court should arrive."
