Scholars in the courtyard.

Chapter 184
This time back to Yangjiazhuang, in addition to participating in Yang Shitou's child's full moon wine, there is also a look at the planting of this hybrid corn.

Now it seems that this method of crop rotation is very suitable for the current situation.

The harvest in Yangjiazhuang is no less than last year, and the yield per mu has also increased. Under such circumstances, life in Yangjiazhuang will gradually improve.

The surrounding villages can also be mobilized, but the problem returns to the original point again, that is, the output of growing grain.

After some thinking, Yang Xiaotao felt that it was ok to advance the original plan.

The original plan was that Yang Xiaotao would hand over the technology of hybrid corn to the state, and the state would organize manpower to breed it, and then spread it rapidly, benefiting thousands of households.

But now it seems that the above is obviously not paying attention.

The next best thing is to wait.

After the storm has passed and we look at the problem rationally, we will use Yangjiazhuang as a typical example to convince the higher-ups and continue to promote it.

But it will take at least two years.

Yang Xiaotao can afford to wait, and so can Yangjiazhuang, but other villages may not be able to wait.

Therefore, a temporary plan was proposed, that is, large-scale breeding.

Yang Xiaotao thought in his heart that this plan was well thought out.

First of all, spring corn is no longer necessary, and other crops can be grown in the village at this time.

Breeding at this time, there is no need to worry about "contamination".

Secondly, Yangjiazhuang has reclaimed a lot of new land in Nanshan this time, surrounded by forests, which also provides a place for breeding.

Finally, there is the people.

This is exactly what Yang Xiaotao asked the two to discuss.

When they came to Yang Xiaotao's house, Yang Dazhuang and Yang Dazhuang were sitting on the kang. There was a plate of peanuts on the table with fine salt sprinkled on it. Next to him, Mr. Yang was smoking a cigarette and a pot with a smile on his face.

It is another harvest year, and my heart is naturally happy.

Yang Xiaotao sent the two of them to the kang, took out some canned luncheon meat from his backpack, and they sat at the table and talked.

When Yang Dazhuang came, he had already communicated with Yang Shitou. If it was because of the Qin Family Village, the two of them would side with Yang Xiaotao.

As for the final result, with Mr. Yang fully informed, there shouldn't be any major incidents.

Yang Shitou nodded naturally, he supported Yang Xiaotao regardless of closeness or reason.

Unexpectedly, after the two sat down and asked Yang Xiaotao to eat something, a big thunder broke out.

"Master, Uncle Zhuang, I have come to you this time to discuss something with you."

Yang Xiaotao crunched the peanut in his mouth, took out a stack of money from his pocket, and slapped it on the table.

At the table, the three of Mr. Yang were all taken aback.

This pile of money is quite a lot, at least four to five hundred at a glance.

The three of them were still in shock, and Yang Xiaotao spoke again.

"I'm going to build a school in the village!"

"School?"

"what?"

Yang Dazhuang and Yang Shitou immediately exclaimed, only Mr. Yang's hand holding the cigarette rod trembled for a moment, and then recovered his expression again, but looked at Yang Xiaotao with even more relief.

"Yes, build a school."

"When the time comes, let the children in our village go to study and learn to read and write!"

Yang Xiaotao said firmly.

When he returned to Yangjiazhuang last year, he found that the children in the village were completely free-range.

There are many children in the family, and even the seven or eight-year-old brothers and sisters take them to play wildly on the street.

Perhaps, this is a wonderful childhood.

But it was definitely not what Yang Xiaotao wanted to see.

These children should read and write in the classroom and receive the influence of knowledge.

After Yang Xiaotao finished speaking, Yang Dazhuang and Yang Shitou looked at Mr. Yang together.

This kind of matter involves all aspects, it is better to let the old man make the decision.

"Look what am I doing?"

Grandpa Yang said something angrily, and finally raised his hand to Yang Xiaotao, "Listen to what he has to say!"

The two looked at Yang Xiaotao again.

But with Mr. Yang's attitude just now, the two of them knew in their hearts that he was in favor of this matter.

"No matter how hard it is, don't suffer children, no matter how poor you are, don't get poor education!"

Yang Xiaotao's two simple sentences made the two of them tremble.

Afterwards, Yang Xiaotao revealed his previous plan.

This time, the three of them listened, and their faces were even more shocked than the establishment of the school.

"Xiaotao, you mean to promote corn?"

Yang Shitou was the first to lose his composure and asked.

Yang Xiaotao nodded, "Yes, as long as there is a suitable venue and manpower, I think it should be fine."

"Do it! This must be done!"

Yang Dazhuang was pounding on the table, his face flushed with excitement.

If it can be planted on a large scale, not only Yangjiazhuang will benefit, but the surrounding villages will also benefit.

More importantly, he contributed his strength to this new country.

"The school needs to be built, but take the money back! The village doesn't need it yet."

Yang Dazhuang spoke again and pushed the money to Yang Xiaotao.

"Uncle Zhuang, if you say this, you will be out of touch."

Yang Xiaotao pushed back, "It's not easy to run a school. Not only do you need a house, but you also need tables, stools, textbooks, pens and paper, and teachers."

"It costs a lot."

"If you take me as someone from Yangjiazhuang, don't refuse!"

When Yang Xiaotao said this, the enthusiasm of Yang Dazhuang and Yang Dazhuang dissipated a lot. They didn't think about it. Only after hearing Yang Xiaotao's words did they realize how difficult it is to run a school.

But looking at Yang Xiaotao, he agreed even more.

At this time, Grandpa Yang spoke.

"The house is easy to find. There used to be a dilapidated kiln in the east of our village. It can be used as long as it is cleaned up."

Yang Dazhuang naturally knew where it was, "It's not a problem that every house and every household can provide something for the lack of beams and so on."

"It's easy to talk about tables and stools. We have carpenters in our village, and we can get it done in a month or so during the slack season."

A few people listed the rules and regulations one by one, and the establishment of the school took shape.

Finally, and most importantly, find a teacher.

"We can report this to the town, and I believe the town will help."

Mr. Yang interrupted at last, and finally said, "It's really not possible, those of us who can move, we should teach characters and simple arithmetic first."

"I think it's okay, grandpa, you go out. The monkey cubs in the village feel disobedient? I think it would be convenient for you to be the principal."

When Yang Dazhuang opened his mouth, Mr. Yang laughed. He really wanted to try this principal.

Afterwards, the few people discussed again. Yang Xiaotao was responsible for the specific rules and regulations, and the village was responsible for the construction of the school. As for the rest, they had to wait for the school to be completed and explain it clearly to the villagers.

The next day, Yang Xiaotao set off to go back to Sijiu City, preparing to work on building a school.

Half a month after Yang Xiaotao left, the work in the village was over, the food was handed in, and there were idlers in the village, so Yang Dazhuang started to call people to speak out about the establishment of the school.

With Mr. Yang in charge, and this matter is a way out for their children, most people in the village agree.

I just disagree, and with Mr. Yang's authority and status, I dare not say more.

And everyone has also heard that this matter was proposed by Yang Xiaotao, and he paid 500 yuan for it, which is definitely a huge sum of money.

People can pay so much for the village, how can they enjoy the benefits and have the face to refuse?
As a result, everyone in Yangjiazhuang worked hard, and it didn't take long to tidy up the broken kiln. The beams and logs were moved out of the house, and the sand, earth, tiles and bricks were also bought in the town. With the efforts of a bricklayer, the foundations of the three houses were laid. it is good.

Then buy glass, make windows, make doors...

The carpenters in the village are also active, and the sound of saws and axes is heard every day in the house, and there is an endless stream of people who come to help.

A long wooden table was quickly made, and then stools and chairs were piled up together, waiting for the school to be built and moved in.

The surrounding villages also inquired about such a big move in Yangjiazhuang. After knowing that it was a school, they were envious or envious.

These villages do not have the ability to run schools, which not only need material support, but also teachers.

Moreover, there is no such thing as child labor in rural areas these days, and the children of poor families have long been in charge of the home.

The half-children are also laborers, and they can go to work in the fields. The older girls are already helping with housework. If they go to school, who cares about the work left behind?
The limitations of the times make it difficult for them to choose, and even make wrong judgments.

But under the guidance of caring people, it will always be on the right path.

The news of the establishment of the school in Yangjia Village was spread in the surrounding villages, especially the 500 yuan donated by Yang Xiaotao, which immediately caused an uproar after being circulated in various villages.

Many people were shocked by Yang Xiaotao's selfless behavior, and then wondered why there is no such person in their village?
500 yuan!
Of course, if someone praised him, others would call him stupid.

Especially the people of Qinjia Village, after hearing about this incident, there are not a few people who like and gossip.

But Qinhuai Ru's family is the focus of people's topic.

These days, the Qin family kept their heads down when they went out, and those with relatives had no face to talk about it.

If Qin Huairu and Yang Xiaotao had been together back then, they might not have benefited from the Qin Family Village.

It's not like now, alas!

The little girl at the east end of the village was playing with two braids over the shoulders with both hands, listening to the people around Yang Xiaotao's story, looking out at the road from time to time, making a secret decision in her heart.

Not to mention the reaction of the surrounding villages, Yang Dazhuang often ran to the town for the sake of the school.

The leaders of the town were also shocked when they heard about this.

After that, there is no more.

They also lack educational resources now, the country is vigorously building industries, and a limited number of intellectuals gather in the cities. There are not many people in their towns who can be teachers.

Moreover, these teachers also have their own jobs. Isn't it difficult for them to go to Yangjiazhuang?

In the end, the teacher's matter can only be resolved by Yang Jiazhuang himself. The leaders of the town have been tempered by Yang Dazhuang, so they can only support a batch of teaching materials, that is, chalk, books, etc., and they are one-time, so they will not care about it in the future. kind of.

Yang Dazhuang was a little disappointed, but he had no choice but to wait for Yang Xiaotao's message.

When the time comes to December, the weather turns cooler, the school has been covered, and the tables and stools have been put in.

Next, wait until spring starts tomorrow, and the official listing will begin.

After Yang Xiaotao returned to Forty-Nine City from the village, he has been rushing about the school affairs, and recently he finally got results.

For the time being, the school mainly focuses on teaching Chinese and mathematics. As for the content of teaching, Yang Xiaotao went to Hongxing Primary School to find the principal of the primary school.

The principal of Hongxing Primary School is an old educator in his 50s. He has devoted most of his life to the cause of education. What he wants to see most is to let education blossom in the land of China, so that the new generation can be bathed in knowledge and become the backbone of the construction of the motherland. .

Especially after experiencing the flames of war, the devastated land needs more talents to repair and rejuvenate.

For him, educating future generations to become talents is his life goal.

When Yang Xiaotao approached him in the name of establishing a primary school in Yangjiazhuang, the old principal was excited.

These days, it is not easy to build a public primary school, let alone this kind of village-run primary school?

After finding Yang Xiaotao, the old headmaster personally inquired about the situation in Yangjiazhuang and his determination to establish the school.

In this regard, the old principal was moved by this feat of benefiting the country and the people, and was willing to help in his heart, but he was unable to give substantive help.

After all, in the current situation, a piece of paper and a pen must be carefully calculated.

Yang Xiaotao also knew about this situation. He came here only to obtain the right to purchase textbooks and equipment after reporting to his superiors through the school's channels.

In the future, textbooks and teaching materials for other school years will be obtained by purchasing.

The old principal thought for a while and agreed.

For him, it was nothing more than writing a report.

Time passed while waiting, and there was no news until a year later.
