Chapter 216 Building a Primary School

Yuan Baishan became the head of the county case, and many people came to visit from his family. Fortunately, they went to Taizhou Prefecture during the hottest days when the news spread, otherwise it would be troublesome to deal with the visitors.

Yuan Tongyue returned to Mi Lu Academy to continue studying.

Yuan Baishan became the head of the county case, and the master in the academy did not ask him to continue. At this level, as long as he stabilizes his mentality, he will become a scholar sooner or later.

The Master thought there was nothing more to teach him.

Before Nie Mingli found Yuan Baishan, Yuan Yuan had already euphemistically mentioned to Yuan Baishan once, what would she do if she had to pass three exams without the welfare of the county chief.

Yuan Baishan felt that there was no difference, so when Nie Mingli came to talk to him about it, he was not very disappointed.

Instead, I was pleasantly surprised by another thing.

"Young Master Yuan, I don't know if you are willing to be my staff member, a master of the yamen."

Nie Mingli thought about this matter for a long time, and the master before the yamen had already been imprisoned by him because he blocked the pleadings without permission.

He needs to hire another teacher, a teacher with a pure heart and a less slippery head.

The other county magistrates formed their own factions, and it would be fine if they didn't join forces to suppress him. They didn't care about anything at all, and now he was almost the only one in the yamen, without any left or right arm, just a bare commander.

No matter who the county case is, Nie Mingli intends to recruit, but this person happens to be Yuan Baishan.

Yuan Baishan was a little moved by this position.

A master, the nature of his ideal job is very similar, it is of course good to experience it in advance, but he does not like to accept other people's charity.

Yuan Baishan: "Master Nie invited me to be a teacher because he couldn't let me enjoy the benefits of the county chief? If so, let me refuse."

He hoped that his abilities would be recognized.

"That's not the case, Mr. Yuan, don't get me wrong, I did want to make up for you, but definitely not in this way."

If Nie Mingli really wanted to do this, it would be somewhat humiliating.

It's like using the position of master to seal his mouth, no one will be happy in his heart.

"Young Master Yuan is the county's case leader, and the entire Jiuqu Town can't find a more suitable candidate than you. I really recognize your talent and appreciate your personality, so I want to ask you to help me."

Hearing Nie Mingli's explanation, Yuan Baishan didn't lie, so he happily agreed. Being a teacher in the county government is a kind of training for him.

In order to compensate Yuan Baishan, Nie Mingli granted Yuan Baishan a wish, as long as he could achieve it, he would do his best to fulfill it.

He asked Yuan Baishan to think about it carefully, and he could ask him at any time.

Yuan Baekshan didn't think about it for long.

He has a very good idea, which can be implemented with the help of Nie Mingli. He has no special wish, but hopes that children from poor families can also study.

For this reason, he even took Nie Ming to visit the elementary school in Yuanjia Village.

Because Yuan Baishan is not around, the work of teaching these children to read is handed over to Yuan Yuan, who is writing demonstration characters.

A little girl led a group of half-grown children to read and practice calligraphy. She looked a little cute, just like playing house.

Yuan Yuan taught with all his heart, and did not take this group of children to play house.

"Home, home, you look at the word home, the upper part is our house, and the lower part is pig, which means pig. Look at your house, do many of you raise pigs at home, and pigs are raised under the house, so this word is home."

"It will be the Mid-Autumn Festival in a while, and we must reunite with our families, so I will teach you another word, called Family Joy, which means that the whole family is very happy."

Yuan Yuan wrote down the joy of the whole family while talking.

The small wooden stick made marks on the sand, and the children beside him watched it seriously.

"Okay! Today's task is to learn this word, go and practice!"

After the demonstration, those children all ran back to their own land, and continued to write on the sand with small sticks.

Yuan Yuan guided while walking.

"Pay attention to the order of your strokes! Bai Pi, why are you inserting your pen backwards again!"

"I'll change it now..."

After checking around, he found that there were no other problems. Yuan Yuan walked over to say hello to Nie Mingli, and then obediently stood beside Yuan Baishan.

The third brother wanted Nie Mingli to open more elementary schools, so he told Yuan Yuan in advance that he would come today.

Yuan Baishan said: "There are 23 villages in Jiuqu Town. I think there must be children in these villages who like to study, but they don't have the conditions."

"If it is like this, make some sandy soil boards, you can practice calligraphy without pen and ink, and it can be reused, which is very economical."

"And these children don't need to learn too complicated knowledge, they just need simple text enlightenment, lest they don't know the text."

In a small village like Yuanjia Village, I don't know how many children may not be able to read until they are weak.

Yuan Baishan's proposal is good. Setting up primary schools in the countryside can improve the overall level of Jiuqu Town, but it is more troublesome to operate.

"The idea of ​​setting up a primary school is very good, but as you said just now, there are 23 villages in Jiuqu Town. It is impossible to set up every township. In this way, manpower and material resources will become a big problem. Do you have any good solutions?"

Nie Mingli seeks Yuan Baishan's advice. Since he is the master of Jiuqu Town, he must think about everything. If every town has a school.

Nie Mingli's family may have to be emptied out. If all the money is invested in this area, how can we develop other aspects of Jiuqu Town?
"It's not difficult to solve. It doesn't have to be in every village. Three or four villages can set up a primary school. Just like our Yuanjia Village is close to Meixiaozhuang. There are only more than 60 school-age children in the two villages. There are more than 60 children here. Among the people, it is very rare to have twenty children who are willing to study, and they can share a school."

"As for the selection of primary schools, I think we can first send people to conduct site inspections, and then select the most suitable village for the development of primary schools. Only seven schools are needed at most to complete the plan."

"Very good, let's start with a pilot, and if possible, expand it slowly."

Nie Mingli agrees that if there is no problem with the location of the primary school, then the remaining problem is how to find the teacher in the primary school.

Given a certain amount of remuneration, there should be someone who is willing to do this job, but there are more choices in the candidates for teaching. It is not so easy to choose an honest and capable teacher.

Nie Mingli intends to make a plan and implement it slowly. The location of the school can be inspected by someone, and the choice of the master must not be made by others. He must be extremely rigorous.
