After five years of teaching support, Daming became an empire on which the sun never sets.

Chapter 20 Lu Qingqian's face is firm

"In the past, Lujia Village has also invited a lot of private school teachers. They stayed for less than ten days and left because they disliked the poor conditions in the village or because the money we gave was too small."

"Let's address our Lujia Village, so far no teacher has taught the children to read."

The government promised to invite a private school gentleman to come to Lujia Village?

When the crowd heard it, they became quiet, and they were all excited.

In ancient times, the only way out for children from poor and humble backgrounds, and the only way to change their class, was to study and get famous.If there is an official in the clan, then the whole clan will change greatly.

Therefore, any clan attaches great importance to the scholars within the clan.There is a promising scholar in the family, no matter how poor the clan is, they will save money and support him together.Even if the poor in the village rang, that scholar can still not work all day, just study hard at home, and no one dares to make irresponsible remarks about him.

Not only did he not dare to make irresponsible remarks, on the contrary, he was very respectful.

Clan people are using their own lives to support scholars, who carry all the hopes of a clan.

Therefore, education is particularly important. If there is no teacher to teach them, there will be no scholar in their village, that is to say, there is no hope. Mr. Private School is the hope of their village.

The government promised to exempt them from the tax burden for five years, but they were not moved.However, agreeing to let a private school gentleman come, made everyone's heart move.

"Father, could the gentleman the patriarch said be Mr. Qin on the mountain?" When the crowd was quiet, a little girl's voice came from the crowd.Lu Qingqian clearly remembered that Qin Yu told her that he was going to teach in the village.Her father Lu Dazhuang had just returned from hunting in the mountains, so he hadn't had time to go up the mountain.

"Shut up, what are you interrupting when your lord is talking?" Lu Dazhuang scolded, Lu Qingqian listened, and immediately lowered his head and did not dare to speak any more.

In ancient times, the status of women was very low. Because the population of Lujia Village was small, the patriarch would let the villagers’ daughters-in-law and girls participate in collective meetings.After all, it's just a village, and the rules aren't that big.

If it is a big family, women have no chance to appear at important meetings, let alone express their opinions.

Even in the small Lujia Village, girls and married daughters-in-law who speak casually at a meeting will be considered impolite, because the man in charge has not disciplined them well.

Therefore, women who come to the meeting usually only listen and don't speak, and they are the ears of the deaf.

The patriarch glanced at Lu Dazhuang and ignored it.Although Lu Qingqian is a woman, after all, her surname is Lu, and she belongs to the daughter of the Lu family.

He slowly said to everyone, "What do you think about this matter?"

"I think it's feasible!" The second uncle expressed his opinion first, "Let the children have the opportunity to study is the top priority, even if we listen to a foreigner's loss of dignity, it's no big deal."

"As the saying goes, the predecessors planted the trees and the later generations enjoyed the shade. The older generation of us originally made sacrifices for the future generations."

"Second brother Tieshan is right." The elder of the third house said, "With Mr. Teacher, there will be scholars in Lujia Village. In case one day, a scholar or a scholar emerges from the village with smoke on the tombs of our ancestors. , then the appearance of Lujia Village will be completely changed. After the development of the ancestral hall, the incense of Lujia Village will be passed on forever.”

"Well." The patriarch nodded with satisfaction. "The three of us have no opinion as elders. Do you have anything else to say?"

"I agree!"

"I agree."

The crowd said.

Families with boys who can enter the private school must agree with [-] people, and only girls must be unwilling, but their opinions are not important, because the patriarch and the other two elders have already made a decision.

They can't change the general policy, and at most they can only make some suggestions that are beneficial to the general direction.

Of course, they couldn't make any good suggestions. After all, they were honest farmers, and most of them were illiterate.

After the general policy of Lujia Village was determined, the villagers broke up and went home.

……

Lu Dazhuang's home.

"Qing girl, it's against the village rules for you to talk casually at the village meeting just now. Others thought that I spoiled you because I didn't have a tutor. Next time, remember that when there are elders around, children should not talk casually. , especially girls." Lu Dazhuang said seriously, but he only had such a daughter, so he couldn't bear to blame too much.

If it were another family with many children, it is estimated that she has already started to fight, so she must firmly remember the difference between high and low.

"Dad, I just couldn't hold back for a while." Lu Qing said lightly.

"By the way, what did you just say?" Lu Dazhuang said, "You said that the teacher may be the man on the mountain?"

"Yeah." Lu Qing said lightly, "Mr. Qin told me plainly that when he was healed, he would go to the village to teach."

"It's really possible." Lu Dazhuang heard the words, "When I rescued him, I thought he was like a scholar, and his bag was hard and seemed to contain books."

"It would be great if that was the case." Lu Dazhuang said, "We rescued him, and he probably wouldn't have the heart to accept too much money from us. Alas, our Lujia Village is already very poor, and now we have to pay for it. Private school..."

"If you can't take out too much remuneration, you can only be nice to him."

"I think Mr. Qin is a good person, and he definitely won't charge too much silver." Lu Qing said lightly.Shuxiu is the meaning of tuition, which originated from Confucius, and literally means ten pieces of bacon.

"How do you know he's a good guy?" Lu Dazhuang asked in a deep voice.

"He woke up yesterday and talked to me a lot. He was very polite, and he was very kind to me. He felt like a big brother." Lu Qing said lightly.

"He is so kind to people..." Lu Dazhuang sighed, "If he is a snobby and greedy for money, he would always collect a lot of money for repairing... I'm afraid it will be a disaster for our entire village. Alas, our Lujia Village is really bad. It can't stand the toss. And this time, because of him, we in Lujia Village had to lose our dignity and let a foreigner be the village head and listen to the command of the foreigner, which is really embarrassing. "

Lu Dazhuang was obviously a little unhappy. After all, he only had one daughter who couldn't go to a private school, and the cost of building a private school in the village was not less than a cent, and he always felt a little disadvantaged.

But he couldn't resist the decision of the patriarch and the village elders.

"Papa, don't worry, Mr. Qin is really a good person, I'm sure." Lu Qingqian's face was full of conviction, "and the husband also said that he will try his best to help our family get rid of poverty."
