Hongwu Daming: Why hasn't my son rebelled?

Chapter 213 The opportunity to study was given by His Royal Highness Liao Wang

There was a deafening sound on the grassland, and the common people in Liaoyang, although they were delighted to hear all kinds of rumors.

His Royal Highness King Liao went back and forth on the grassland all day and night, personally commanding the battle, beating Nahachu to the ground, and even captured a city on the grassland.

I heard that Liao King Zhu Qi appeared in various places on the battlefield like a ghost, harvesting the lives of those enemies.

The version that the common people of the Ming Dynasty listened to was naturally very different from the version that the common people on the grasslands listened to. At least the image of His Royal Highness King Liao was still very bright and positive.

However, Wang Laowu was only talking about these things after dinner. For him, the problem of children's schooling was more important.

As I said before, he and his fellow countrymen have gone to the newly opened college for consultation, and His Royal Highness King Liao still has great support for the college.

Not only various subsidies are given, but also a work-study program for those children from poor families who come to study.

Even if you work hard to earn money for a semester, your tuition fees can be completely waived, and you can also save a little to subsidize your family.

The money he earned was not even less than that of a farmer like him.

This is naturally the best news for Wang Laowu.

Although the things taught in this new school are different from the normal Four Books and Five Classics, it is very likely that they will not be able to take the imperial examination.

But it is also a very good thing to enter Liao Wangfu and hang out with Liao Wang in the future.

Take a look at the recent news about His Royal Highness Liao Wang. It doesn't mean that His Highness Liao Wang is a god who descended to the mortal world.

It won't be too bad to follow such a person in the future.

Wang Laowu has already made a decision, and he will let his son study more in the new school in the future.

As for the upfront tuition fees for admission, he has already prepared in advance.

First, he sold a batch of the food stored at home, and then went to the wharf to do hard work for two months.

Although it was very hard work, Wang Laowu was able to send his son to study in a new-style school looking at the money he got.

There was a burst of joy in my heart, and the hard work was worth it.

And because the child can go to school, the mother-in-law's attitude towards herself is much better.

When I first married her and came back, I always complained that my family's conditions were not good, and my children had no future.

But now I don't hear her complaining about anything anymore. After all, the child can go to school to study and practice calligraphy in the future, and he can barely make ends meet just by setting up a stall outside and selling calligraphy and painting.

Even when you become more knowledgeable in the future, you can open a school to teach others and become a teacher.

Wang Lao Wu returned home after finishing a day's farm work. At this time, he happened to see his wife sitting in the yard, talking to her son with a runny nose:

"When you go to school tomorrow, you must listen carefully to what you say, and if you meet His Highness King Liao, you must speak sweeter.

When the time comes, His Royal Highness King Liao will value you and keep you by his side. "

How could a child understand these ways of the world, they just nodded and agreed as their mother kept talking.

But Wang Laowu saw what was in front of him, walked over and said:
"What do you say to the child, the child is going to study, not to be a eunuch in the palace.

Acquiring knowledge is the most important thing. As for whether you can follow His Royal Highness Liao Wang, that is not the point. Do you really think that our Liao Wang will go to a new school? "

Wang Laowu's wife rolled her eyes and said to him:
"Why is it impossible for His Highness King Liao to go there?
It's not just once or twice that our Highness goes down the street.

Maybe our baby will also have the opportunity to meet His Royal Highness Liao Wang. It would be a great thing if he is chosen. "

Wang Laowu said something in his heart, if he was picked up and sent to be a eunuch in the palace, it would not be worth the loss.

He also planned to let his son carry on the family line, but he didn't say that.

He probably made his wife unhappy by saying it, so he put away all the farm tools in his hand, and has been harvesting grain at home for the past few days.

Now that the autumn harvest is over, I will send my son to school tomorrow.

After the mother-in-law saw Wang Laowu coming back, she went to work in the kitchen in the back room.

And the son also went to the house to play by himself. Although he can't understand everything at the age of 7, children from poor families have long been in charge of the house, and this time they will know how to help the family with housework.

Looking at his hardworking son, Wang Laowu also smiled with relief. Although he said it was hard work and the money he earned paid his tuition, it was all worth it.

The mother-in-law brought the food quickly, and then asked Wang Laowu:

"Have you paid your tuition?"

Wang Laowu nodded, picked up a small dish in front of the pasta with his chopsticks, took a sip of the wine, and then hissed:
"Don't worry, I handed it in today."

The mother-in-law showed a smile on her face, and brought the rice bowl in front of Wang Laowu, hesitated for a moment, and asked:
"Where did you get the money from? A few days ago, I heard from Lao Li next door that you were in the field and went to the pier to move things when you were done working. Is it true?

Don't wear yourself out, the family is counting on you to be in charge. "

Wang Laowu felt warm in his heart, but he didn't say much, just nodded casually, and then said:

"What's this? As long as our child can go to school well, it's nothing."

Although the mother-in-law didn't say anything, Wang Laowu found that he seemed to have an extra dish today.

Moreover, there are meat, vegetables and even soup, which feels very luxurious. Wang Laowu took a few mouthfuls casually, and asked his son to come over to eat too.

In the early morning of the second day, there was nothing to do in the field, and the rest was to dry the rice and prepare for next year.

After Wang Laowu got up early in the morning, he piled up some rice in the courtyard to dry, and then went to call his son.

The 7-year-old son is still a little confused when he shouts. It seems that rich people have fewer children. It is reasonable to say that they only start enlightenment when they are eight or nine years old. I did not expect that my children can go to school at the age of 7.

And this is what His Royal Highness King Liao requested, saying that the younger the child, the more malleable he is.

As for what plasticity is, Wang Laowu doesn't understand, but as long as he can go to school, no matter how old he is, even if he is three years old, he will send his children there. The key is to have this opportunity.

After Wang Laowu took his sons to wash up, each of them took a naan bread and set off for the new school.

This new-style school was built on the edge of Liaoyang City, but now there is no special convenient transportation, so they can only walk there early in the morning and late in the evening.

At least that's what Wang Laowu originally thought, but when he walked out of the house with his son just now.

Immediately, I saw a large carriage parked at the gate of the village.

And on the side of the carriage, there was a group of officials wearing the clothes of the official government office. Those officials did not hold weapons, but just stood there idly.

But the common people on the side looked at it, but they were full of curiosity one by one.

I don't know why people from the government suddenly came to the village. After all, there are no government people in this village most of the time.

I only come here when the tax is collected, but it's not the time to collect the tax now.

Some villagers discussed:

"Could it be that some family committed a crime, and this is here to arrest people?"

"Maybe, it's really possible. Look, all the carriages are here."

The villagers were talking here, and they didn't know what happened, but soon an official came over, and then took out a list from his hand, and said to the villagers in front of him:

"Are there any students going to the new school? We came here to pick you up under the order of His Royal Highness King Liao."

The villagers were immediately dumbfounded when they heard this, and they didn't expect that someone would come to pick them up. You must know that this carriage is not cheap.

If the common people were to rent a carriage, it would be worth three or four days of meals just for one ride.

But now His Royal Highness King Liao actually sent a large carriage to pick him up.

Could it be that someone who was concerned by His Royal Highness King Liao lived in the village, and the villagers started talking again.

Wang Laowu thought the same way, thinking that there might be some hermit's child here, so His Royal Highness King Liao specially sent someone to pick him up.

Unexpectedly, the official would read the name to his own home soon, and the other villagers also had a confused expression after hearing Wang Laowu's name.

They knew that Wang Laowu was a native of the country, and they didn't know any high-ranking officials at all.

It is even more impossible to know His Royal Highness Liao Wang, that is to say, His Royal Highness Liao Wang is not here to pick up someone he knows or an expert.

In other words, the carriage sent by His Royal Highness King Liao was really only here to pick up the common people.

When the villagers thought of this, they were all stunned. They didn't expect His Royal Highness King Liao to love the people so much.

They were very moved, and a dozen or so children in this village had signed up for the new-style school. After all, the children had nothing to do at home, so they might as well send them to study.

What's more, studying in the new school of His Royal Highness King Liao still doesn't cost money, so there are quite a lot of students in this village who sign up.

Those parents who didn't send their children to enroll were also jealous. They originally wanted to send their children to the school, but they didn't expect His Royal Highness Liao Wang to value the students so much.

They even sent people over here, each of them was very envious, but if they wanted to send their children to study at this time, they had to wait until the next semester to sign up.

After all, registration for this semester has ended, so there is no other way.

Wang Laowu originally thought that only his own children could get on the carriage and go with them, but he didn't expect that when he got to the side, the official said to Wang Laowu:

"This is your child, right? He's still quite young. With so much luggage and bedding, you should go along and help out."

Wang Lao Wu was taken aback for a while and said:

"Is it really possible to go? It's just that the carriage is not enough."""

The official laughed, pointed behind him, and then said:

"The entrance to your village is relatively small. Before the carriage came, we got one to make a U-turn. The rest of the carriages are at the side road outside. Just follow along and get on the carriage."

Good guy, everyone called out, good guy, I didn't expect that there was more than one carriage, even the parents' carriage was ready, not only that, there was even a special carriage for luggage, His Royal Highness Liao Wang was really thoughtful. .

Wang Laowu was so moved that he was on the verge of tears. After seeing the scene in front of him, the other people around him also congratulated Wang Laowu one after another.

It seems that His Highness treats the people so kindly, and his own students are treated so well. Then after learning in the school, it goes without saying that they will definitely have a good job.

Not to mention, the next time you sign up, your own children must also come to sign up for school.

Those ordinary people always want to know in their hearts.

Except for Wang Laowu's village, other villages are also treated in the same way.

As long as the children signed up for the new-style school, Zhu Qi will arrange a carriage to pick them up, since they are boarding-style schools anyway.

There is no need to arrange a carriage by yourself, and it will not cost too much to take them to and from school every day.

In case any child was in danger along the way, Zhu Qixin felt very sorry for it, after all, these are the flowers of my Da Mingming's future.

In this way, Wang Laowu got into the carriage and walked towards the new school together.

With the carriage, the speed of going to school will be much faster.

They left before and after, and in less than half an hour, they were sent to the school gate.

At this time, many parents and children had already arrived at the gate of the school.

After all, this school can also accommodate 300 people, and several classrooms have been expanded before, and now the total capacity can accommodate 400 people.

This is also because the people's enthusiasm for enrolling is so high that it has completely exceeded Zhu Qi's expectations. So many students want to go to school, so Zhu Qi naturally hopes that everyone can go to school.

Wang Laowu had never seen so many people gather together, and he was a little nervous all of a sudden.

Especially these people are sending their children to study. Although most of them look like ordinary people like themselves, some of them are still very particular about their clothes.

Let people know at a glance that he is a child of a rich family.

Wang Laowu really wanted to tell his children to stay away from those rich children and not to be bullied at school.

However, the words still didn't come out of his mouth. If he said such a thing, it was inevitable that the seven-year-old child would not have any inferiority complex.

Since he was a child, it was because of his parents who always told him to stay away from the children of those rich families. He didn't even dare to say a few words to others, and he is still very dull until now.

Although Wang Laowu doesn't have much experience in educating children, he still hopes that his children can make their own careers like those legendary figures in history.

After thinking about it, I didn't say anything superfluous, just patted the child's head and said to him:
"Son, this opportunity to study was given by His Royal Highness King Liao, so you must cherish it."
