The full-level boss takes the whole family to farm after crossing

Chapter 34 Knowledge is very expensive these days

Shen Nanwei rolled her eyes in an ungraceful way: "Your mother and I are not bored at home."

There are many new things in the village, and she is very happy to hear them every day.

"You mean you want me to teach you how to read?" Shen Nanwei accepted the enlightenment book and paper with a smile, and when she looked at the brush, she was cut off by Jiang Tanyue just as she was about to say something, "The cheapest one is also the inkstone .”

This also accounts for the bulk of their expenses.

In this day and age, knowledge is really expensive.

Learning is something that requires a lot of cost.

Although the technology of papermaking already existed in this period, movable type printing had not yet come out, and the price of books remained high. At this time, copying books for others became a way for poor students to make money.

Many books that cannot be afforded are also borrowed from classmates, and they are returned after copying.

After all, it is not easy to support a scholar in a farm family. Sometimes it takes all the family's wealth and tightening the belt to hold on.

I only hope that one person will attain enlightenment and ascend to heaven.

Not to mention being a high-ranking official, if any family produces a scholar, it will be the honor of the ancestors.

Speaking of this, I have to mention Huxi Village. The fields cultivated by the villagers of Huxi Village are fertile, and there are still more than a dozen families with two spare money in their hands.

But there are not many readers.

The reason is that their thinking only stays in the food and clothing stage.

I envy scholars, but I didn't expect to raise a scholar in my family.

Half-children who can run and dance are laborers. If they are sent to study, not only will they not be able to work in the fields, but they will also have to spend money for support, repairs of pens, ink, paper and inkstones, dry food, and the cost of interacting with people...

Better to work at home.

Then marry a wife and have children, carry on the family line, and complete the mission of life.

The villagers are ignorant and short-sighted, making such a decision is expected.

Huxi Village also sent their sons to Kaimeng, and there were several families who supported them along the way, including Lao Jiang's family.

That is Mrs. Jiang's youngest son, Jiang Caier's twin brother Jiang Jinxu.

14 years old, just took the county examination in February this year, and was admitted.

During that time, Mrs. Jiang almost walked sideways like a crab. Everyone praised her son, who was smart, clever and well-behaved. The first time she crawled out of her stomach, she decided that this son was a student. The material of a high official.

After nagging like this for two months, the ears of those who listened were calloused.

But they have to smile and flatter them, after all, everyone can see that Jiang Jinxu is really good at studying, and if they get prosperous in the future, they will still count on the help of Old Jiang's family.

Unfortunately, what overshadowed this happy event was the funeral of the youngest of the Jiang family, Jiang Darong, who was also their cheap father.

Don't look at Mrs. Jiang crying and yelling the name of Jiang Boss every time she has a dispute with them. She didn't shed a single tear.

According to the gossip of the villagers who witnessed it at close range, Mrs. Jiang's eyes were eager to pop out. If she didn't know that Mr. Jiang would never agree, she would have found someone to throw him in a mass grave on the spot.

The provincial family has to pay for the coffin.

The original three mothers were too sad, and maybe they didn't understand the reason until they died-they could accept that the family was not seen, but Jiang Darong was the biological son of the Jiang family, so it was fine if he was not seen at ordinary times, and he would suffer even if he died. Roll your eyes? ?

They didn't understand, but Shen Nanwei, a gossip expert, had figured things out.
