Late Qing Dynasty Executioner

Chapter 67 Future
He is just a person from a small village, and this village is not even his. To be precise, he only has the right to inherit the village.

Promising someone a position second only to the emperor was indeed a bit of a pie in the sky. The key point was that the other person didn't want to take it, and Chen Gu had no choice.

The two walked and talked until they arrived at the core area of ​​the village.

Although it is called the core area, it is just a courtyard house with wooden walls and tiled roofs. It was originally the meeting hall of the mountain village, also called Zhongyi Hall. Now it has become the residence of Wu You's family.

Zhang San also raised two pandas here. The children of the Wu family liked the two pandas very much. They would hug one and touch the other.

When they saw Chen Gu, a stranger, coming in, the two pandas started barking like dogs to drive him away.

Chen Gu smiled, took out two small pieces of brown sugar from his arms, and stuffed one of the pandas' mouths with it. The two pandas immediately stopped asking for food, and after chewing a few times and swallowing the brown sugar, they kept rubbing against Chen Gu's calves to please him.

Pandas are bears, not cats, and there is no bear species that doesn't like sweets. Honey is best, but brown sugar can also achieve a good effect if honey is not available.

The two little pandas' affection for Chen Gu made the Wu family's children envious.

Chen Gu took out a paper bag from his arms and handed it to the youngest granddaughter of the Wu family, saying with a smile: "This is brown sugar. Just feed some to the bears and they will be very close to you. But remember to feed them less. Eating too much sugar is not good!"

"Hello, Young Master!" When Wu Hua heard Chen the Assassin's voice, he walked out with his family and saluted Chen the Assassin.

A large family had just arrived and there was a lot of things that needed to be cleaned up. Wu Hua said a few polite words and then took his family to get busy.

"The conditions are simple for now. Please let me know if you need anything. Don't be polite." Chen Gu added.

"You're welcome, everyone. Just take care of your own things first and settle down as soon as possible. We'll have a meal together and talk slowly later. Now I have Wu You to talk to me." Chen Gu said with a smile.

The youngest sister of the Wu family took the paper bag, fed herself a piece of brown sugar first, and then gave each of her four brothers a piece. Finally, she put the paper bag away and said, "Don't give it to them. I like to eat candy too!"

"Really?" The little girl opened her eyes wide and said hopefully, "I want to eat mutton, and I also want to eat big carp!"

"Of course, I will take care of your food, clothing, housing and other necessities here, and I will try my best to satisfy you." After Chen Gu finished speaking, he took out a five-liang silver ingot and shouted: "Come on, go buy a sheep and a big carp!"

Chen Gu couldn't help but be amused by this greedy little girl, and laughed: "Haha, what kind of candy do you like to eat? Tell me and I'll have someone prepare it for you. Not to mention candy, chicken, duck, fish, pork, beef, mutton, all kinds of cakes and snacks, as long as you want, I will have someone find it for you."

Chen Gu looked at Wu You and said, "Well, it's a little early to say that I'm second to none, but a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. Back then, Wild Boar Skin only started out with a dozen or so sets of armor, but my rifle can penetrate those armors, so our starting point is higher, right?"

"That's true!" Wu You nodded with a smile, and then asked, "What do you want me to teach them? It can't just be reading and writing, right?"

"Teach me the Hundred Family Surnames!" Chen Gu said without hesitation, then took out his notebook from his arms, handed it to Wu You, and said, "This is what I've been learning recently, and I made these notes. Just follow this and I'll teach you!"

Wu You took the manuscript and glanced at it. After reading a few pages in a row, he couldn't help but ask, "Who taught you?" "What's wrong?" Chen Gu frowned and asked, "Is there anything wrong?"

"There's nothing wrong with that, but I want to meet the person who taught you. Well, I want to pay my respects!" In the last sentence, Wu You's tone became respectful.

"I don't have time for now. I've stopped teaching recently. Let's talk after I finish this period. Don't worry, there will be a chance." After Chen Gu finished speaking, he asked curiously, "By the way, I'm just a scholar, and you're also a scholar. Your knowledge should be similar, right?"

"It's a long way off!" Wu You couldn't help but smile bitterly, "To become a Jinshi, you must first pass the Xiucai exam, but some people remain a Xiucai their entire lives."

Chen Gu understood what was said, and at the same time felt a little sympathetic. We were all elementary school students. Some people passed the exams to become doctoral students, but Chen Gu remained an elementary school student all his life.

Although Suan Xiucai was only a scholar, he had so many books at home and lived to such an old age. Naturally, he was not comparable to Wu You, a 17 or 18-year-old kid.

"Are you just going to teach me the Hundred Family Surnames?" Wu You asked.

"Isn't it enough?"

"It's enough for now, but I always feel like something is missing?" Wu You said with a frown.

"Then add math, addition, subtraction, multiplication and division!" Chen Gu thought for a moment and continued, "Now that spring ploughing is over, there is no rush to reclaim land. Why not let Scar and the others set up an intelligence department?

Let them send people to the upper and lower reaches of the Yangtze River to collect various intelligence, and then bring it back for you to analyze in class. At the same time, you can also discuss with everyone how the village should be developed.

Grow through learning. Well, you can also offer martial arts courses, such as sword, spear, halberd, fist and foot kung fu, running, high jump, long jump, etc. You can practice both civil and military skills.

And whether you want to do something or live longer, you need to have a good body. Doing so will allow everyone to show their strengths. Then you can teach students in accordance with their aptitude, and the chances of cultivating talents will be greater!"

Wu You looked at Chen Gu with a surprised look in his eyes, "You can't do whatever you want. Being proficient in everything also means being poor at everything. There is no such thing as being good at both civil and military affairs. There is only someone who is neither civil nor military. Besides, I am not omnipotent."

"Of course there is no one who is omnipotent. Some people are not good at studying, but they are very good at martial arts. If you don't know how to do it, you can ask other people to teach you. You can become the dean in the future." Chen Gu said with a smile.

Wu You couldn't help but sigh and said, "Okay, then you can give the academy a name!"

"There is a Longhua Field not far from the foot of the mountain, so let's call it Longhua Academy!" Chen Gu said casually.

Thus, the Longhua Academy, which would later become famous all over the world, was established on April 1800, , in this small mountain village that did not even have a name.

It was named by Chen Prajna, the Supreme Emperor of China, and witnessed by Wu You, the Minister of Education of China and the Editor-in-Chief of Hualianbang Textbooks.
