Chapter 2517 Mobilize to go to school
"Yes, you can rest assured that you will have a good life with the Senate." Hou Qing continued, "I heard that the chiefs want to adapt to local conditions and promote fish farming technology in Guangzhou. Those who have been farming for generations on the shore, it is difficult for you to learn to farm now. As for fish farming, it will not be too difficult for you to learn."

He Lizhi rubbed his chin, looking worried, "The chief doesn't know, fish raising is not a simple matter, the fish flowers in the whole of Guangfu are all caught from the sea (Xijiang), and the trick to fish flowers is only in Jiujiang Township Only then did the people know that it has been monopolized for hundreds of years. If the chief wants to promote fish farming, the cooperation of Jiujiang people will be indispensable."

Principal Tian said: "The chief can do everything better than others, maybe there is another way."

"any solution?"

"I don't know..." Principal Tian replied.His mind is still on recruiting students, anyway, this

Hou Qing looked at He Lizhi, and He Lizhi said: "Let me figure out a way, let's go to Mrs. Zhou's house and have a look."

When the three left the latrine construction site, they found that many villagers and children in the village were surrounding Zeng Salmon and a strange man, as if they were writing something.

"Wow, it's so beautiful!" A child exclaimed, and the crowd of onlookers also gave bursts of admiration.

"Do you know how to read? Just say it looks good." The villagers next to him booed.

"Why don't you know?" The child argued, "Winter goes to spring, what happens in the south, east, and north, what is the suffering, what is the celebration of the river..."

"Hahahaha..." Everyone burst into laughter.

"It's 'winter goes to spring, happy to bid farewell to the old year. The country is great. The joys and sorrows come to an end, and the lakes, seas and rivers celebrate the new life'." A child said.

"Can you teach me to write?" a child asked.

"Sir, please write a picture for me..." Another villager asked, "I want to post a couplet after moving house!"

Kuang Lu is not in a bad mood today, but these days are exhausting from the journey, and she has no chance to touch a pen to write. Although the pen, ink and paper she brought are crude, she can still practice her brushwork.Immediately jokingly said: "My calligraphy is not for nothing. You can exchange it for a pair of couplets."

"Don't worry, there are plenty of fish here," everyone heard, and they all went to fetch dried and salted fish.Kuang Lu didn't dislike it either, and just smeared on the red paper. Anyway, writing couplets is the basic skill of a literati. They don't understand if they don't understand it deeply, if someone finds out the chapters and quotes to make a fuss, it will cause trouble for themselves.So the common auspicious words are used,
Hou Qing and Tian Liang looked at each other, the attire and temperament of the man in front of them, especially the beautiful regular script, was better than anyone they had ever seen. It would be impossible to write without the guidance of a famous teacher and hard work since childhood from.Anyone with a discerning eye can tell at a glance that this person must be the son of a noble family. How could he come to the fishing village to write couplets?
Thinking that as the principal of Nanhai National Demonstration School, not only did he often write typos, but also write crookedly, he was really embarrassed to take out his hand, Tian Liang's face suddenly flushed red.

Hou Qing found out inadvertently, and asked with concern: "Ah Liang, why is your face so red? Do you have a cold and a fever?" Then he stretched out his hand to touch Tian Liang's forehead.

"No, I'm not sick..." Tian Liang replied in a panic, but her face turned redder.

He Lizhi has already found Mrs. Zhou to discuss the study of her eldest son. As she talked, Mrs. Zhou burst into tears and said, "I know this is ruining his future, but let him go, what will he eat?" ? There are three siblings at home, they also have to eat! This is our fate!"

Tian Liang and Hou Qing knew that Mrs. Zhou was telling the truth, but at the moment they couldn't think of any other way except to turn to the villagers for help.
He Lizhi whispered to Zeng Salmon for a while, walked to the crowd, cleared his throat, and said, "Fathers and folks, the village is very lively today, and the chief sent someone to help us repair the public toilet. The boy from Mrs. Zhou's family had the best exam. It is a major event in our village that you can go to the school run by the chief. However, everyone knows the situation of Mrs. Zhou’s family, so let’s share your thoughts.”

"Litchi, why do I feel that reading is useless." A villager replied.

"Yes, the chief exempted us from the fish lesson and allowed us to go ashore. That's enough."

……

Everyone said something to each other, anyway, no one expressed their willingness to help Mrs. Zhou's family.

He Lizhi felt ashamed, and looked carefully at Hou Qing and Tian Liang.

At this time, Tian Liang had calmed down, and he decided to ask the son of the family in front of him for advice, "Sir, you can write well, you must be a scholar, I am a soldier, I am not very good at talking, can you please Tell me about the benefits of reading?"

Kuang Lu was quite surprised by Tian Liang's actions, she didn't expect this fake Kun to come to ask her for advice.He probably understands the current situation. The Kun thief recruits students regardless of their background, which is in line with Confucius' idea of ​​"teaching without discrimination".

It's just that reading books has not been affordable for the poor since ancient times.At any rate, the family must have more than ten acres of fertile land in order to be able to support a scholar.The so-called "the poor have a plan, the rich have a conscience".These villagers were originally just Danhus floating on the water, their livelihood was difficult, and they didn't have much friendship with each other. Now they are only in the same village because the gangsters allowed them to go ashore to build houses. It is impossible to expect them to watch and help each other at this time.No one will pay attention to such great principles as "establishing a heart for the world, establishing a life for the people, inheriting the knowledge of the past, and creating peace for all generations."

Kuang Lu straightened her clothes and said, "Study has many benefits. You can be an official, an official, or an apprentice in a shop. At worst, you can also train young children in the countryside and live comfortably. Is it easy to plan food in the water and soil? For example, when everyone sees that my Spring Festival couplets are beautifully written, they all want one. In a short time, I also got dozens of fish. This is still in the countryside. If it is in Guangzhou city, If it is not for relatives and friends, there is no money for a few taels of ink, and it is absolutely impossible to get it."

The villagers burst into laughter after hearing this. This man has a big tone, and a pair of Spring Festival couplets cost a few taels of silver as a touch-up fee!
Seeing that these gangsters didn't believe it at all, Kuang Yan wholeheartedly defended his son, and said loudly: "It's really unspeakable, my son is the Dali Kuang family, and the book is passed down. My son's calligraphy and painting, even Mr. Qiu Tao can't put it down. , It’s better to sigh, you know a fart!”

"So rude! Who is Mr. Qiutao?" Someone asked.

"Mr. Chen Jisheng Zizhuang, Minister of Rites!" Kuang Yan said.

Now no one spoke, everyone showed fear, and no one dared to speak.

Although the common people at the bottom do not have much knowledge, they still know a thing or two about the top local gentry.Chen Zizhuang's father's family and mother's family are both big families in the South China Sea. They have been officials for many generations. He himself took the mid-term examination, and the official went to the right servant of the Ministry of Rites and a bachelor's student. He gave lectures to Emperor Chongzhen on a daily basis and had a very high reputation.Another example is Li Daiwen in Foshan, the official to the right servant of the household department. The Li family is the well-deserved first family in Foshan Fort.

The atmosphere of silence was a bit awkward. Tian Liang was originally clumsy and not good at words, so he felt at a loss for this situation. Fortunately, Hou Qing helped him out.

Hou Qing's voice was not high, but he had the penetrating power unique to women, "Folks, the head of the Song Dynasty is better than others in everything, which is the result of reading more. The head sent a literacy team to teach everyone how to read and take your children to school. , I just hope that you will have a better life and will not be bullied in the future. After a while, the chief will send agricultural technicians to teach everyone how to raise fish. Don’t laugh, you can’t raise fish as well as the chief if you don’t study. The children in this school have this opportunity to go to school, which represents the hope of our whole village. Distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors. Everyone has come through hardships, so let's support each other."

Everyone remained silent.Kuang Lu secretly laughed.I think that although your intentions are good, you are seeking skins from tigers.The Dan family has no clan, and the temporarily formed village is a crowd of Wuhewa. Who can respond to a few calls from the village elders?He also felt that it was a pity that the child did not go to school—even though he was studying in Australia—and immediately said: "These dozens of catties of fish are my donation. I sold them to this sister-in-law Zhou's eldest son as living expenses."

As soon as he came out, Zeng Salmon felt that his face was bright, and immediately responded: "Look everyone! The guests are all helping Mrs. Zhou. We are all from the Dan family, so we have to show it! Let me make a statement first. Although I don’t have any money, if there’s anything I need, I’ll do my best.”

At that moment, another person said: "Doctor Hou saved my life, and she will do whatever she says. I really can't come up with anything! Tell me how I can help? You have to work hard and count me in!"

"Count me in!" A few more people responded.

He Lizhi also struck while the iron was hot and said, "I see that there are 85 households in our village, and each household, no matter how big or small, produces five catties of fish every month. The village collects them and sells them in the town. Her eldest son subsidized her living expenses. In the future, her eldest son will be promising, and let him repay everyone, what do you think?"

Five catties of fish per month is not a lot, everyone thinks it is acceptable, and they all agree.Sister-in-law Zhou thanked her a lot, and brought her children to kowtow to Kuang Lu.

Kuang Luxu raised his hand and said, "There's no need to kowtow. I just hope that he will study hard in the future and not forget to repay his parents and fellow villagers who helped him here!"

After saying that, he greeted Zeng Salmon and was about to leave, but was stopped by Tian Liang. Kuang Lu became vigilant, thinking that this stupid fake guy who exposed his identity would harm him.

Who would have thought that Tian Liang would say to him in a naive manner: "Mr. Kuang's handwriting is really good, he must have read a lot of books. I am Tian Liang, the principal of Nanhai National Demonstration School. Our school has just been established, and there is still a shortage of teachers. Recruit suitable teachers, if you can come to the school to teach children to write, it will definitely make our school run better."
