Xiao Xin was clearly explaining the funeral, Xiao Dapeng couldn't help but rushed over, crying loudly: "Grandpa..."

"Don't cry! Cough..." Xiao Xin's voice suddenly became louder, causing a violent cough, "Go, give your Brother Ziqiu three knocks on the head, cough..."

When Xiao Xin mentioned Liu Ziqiu's name twice, the surrounding villagers were not surprised, because Gao Xiu'er had already told the truth outside just now.Of course, Liu Ziqiu concealed the most important part.If he told others that he came from time travel, it would be strange not to be regarded as a monster, but he dared not even tell Gao Xiuer about it.

However, Xiao Dapeng had already turned around and kowtowed to Liu Ziqiu with a "dongdongdong".Liu Ziqiu hurried to stop him, but he heard Xiao Xin say: "Eldest brother...like...father..."

When everyone looked again, Xiao Xin had closed her eyes forever...

Xiao Dapeng suddenly jumped up from the ground, and said loudly: "Copy guy, follow me to the salt field! Take revenge on the Yang family!"

The villagers were outraged and responded one after another.Suddenly Liu Ziqiu roared: "Everyone stop, no one is allowed to go!"

Xiao Dapeng's eyes were already red, and he said sharply: "My grandfather's bones are not cold, if you don't take revenge, you will..."

"Shut up! Forgot your grandfather's explanation?" Liu Ziqiu's tone softened a little, and he said, "You are not taking revenge, you are going to die."

Only then did everyone think of the viciousness of the Yang family, and they couldn't help but lower their heads.Only Xiao Dapeng clenched his fists: "Don't you want to take revenge?"

"I will take care of the matter of revenge." Liu Ziqiu ordered directly, "Uncle Li, please help Dapeng take care of the second uncle's funeral. Everyone else should go to bed early after finishing their work, and those who should go to work in the salt field tomorrow will go to work as usual .”

When he came back this time, Liu Ziqiu originally planned to say goodbye to the villagers after clarifying the doubts in his heart, so he no longer pretended to be a big cow.But since Xiao Xin entrusted Xiao Dapeng and Changshan Village to him, he must take responsibility.

Shuanzi suddenly remembered: "Why didn't the people from the salt field come to urge us today?"

According to the situation of the previous two days, the people from the salt field should have arrived an hour ago, but now they have not been seen for a long time.

Xiao Dapeng gritted his teeth and said, "Hmph! If they don't come, it's fine. As long as they come, they must kowtow before my grandfather's spirit to apologize!"

Liu Ziqiu shook his head and said, "They won't come."

The villagers asked in surprise, "Why?"

Liu Ziqiu sneered and said, "There are not many toads with three legs. Isn't it hard to find people with two legs?"

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but get nervous.

With the expansion of the scale of the saltworks, the number of salt workers has also been increasing. It has already grown from 80 people at the beginning to 300 people now, and these extra people are recruited from other places.But Yan Ding is only engaged in simple physical labor, and with a little training, he can get started in just a day or two.The people from the salt field have not come so far, and they probably recruited people from other places.

After the villagers moved here, it is no longer convenient to go fishing at sea, and their income depends entirely on the dividends from the saltworks.If they do not go to work in the saltworks, they will not receive dividends from the saltworks, and their life will be unsustainable.

If you can't hold back, you want to go to the saltworks.Liu Ziqiu reprimanded: "Why panic! Let's deal with the second uncle's affairs first, and it's not too late to go tomorrow!"

I don't know why, after the villagers knew that he was not a real big cow, they suddenly became in awe of him, and even the third aunt became restrained in her speech.These changes made Liu Ziqiu very uncomfortable for a while.He had already heard from Xiao Xin that these villagers were originally Xiao's family slaves, and perhaps the servility in their bones could not be eradicated for a while.But this also has an advantage, they will carry out what Liu Ziqiu said to the letter, except for Xiao Dapeng who is slightly dissatisfied, no one dares to express any objection.

In the past, when someone died in Changshan Village, they would find a reed mat and bury it behind the village.Daniel's parents, Xiao Xin's son and daughter-in-law all cook like this.Although Xiao Xin is the patriarch, the Xiao family has already declined, so it is impossible for them to be very prosperous.However, Liu Ziqiu still paid for Er Zhuang to take two people to the county town to buy a coffin, and then chose a high ground behind the village. They were busy until dark, and finally buried Xiao Xin.

When he got home, he saw Gao Xiu'er staring at the stack of medical manuscripts in a daze with tears all over his face, Liu Ziqiu couldn't help wondering: "Xiu'er, what's wrong?"

These days, people have long looked down on life and death. Although Xiao Xin has always been kind to Gao Xiu'er and Vanilla, she is not so sad.

Gao Xiu'er sighed and said, "I finally understand why grandpa asked me to bring a copy back. If I had read the medical books a few days earlier, maybe I would have been able to help Qin Shubao's mother and cure my second uncle."

Liu Ziqiu sat down beside her, and whispered, "Xiu'er, if you were allowed to study for a month, do you think your medical skills are better than your grandson's?"

"Old grandson?"

"It's the grandfather you recognized. This is called kindness."

"It's still a question, it's definitely not as good as it is."

"Then let you study for a year?"

"Grandpa has been immersed in medical skills for decades, how can Xiu'er catch up."

"If you were the old grandson, first go to treat Qin Shubao's mother, and then come to treat your second uncle, do you think it will be too late?"

Gao Xiu'er thought about it seriously, then shook her head and said, "Grandpa is not a god, how can he be in time?"

Liu Ziqiu smiled and said, "Since there is something that even my grandson can't do, why should you blame yourself?"

Gao Xiu'er put away the medical book and said quietly: "I'm just a little sad."

"Medical skills are not so easy to learn. Even if you memorize all these medical books, it will be difficult to treat people. The reason why Lao Sun entrusted us with these medical books is that these medical books are too precious, and we must keep a backup to avoid accidental loss. It's not for you to learn." Liu Ziqiu knew that Chinese medicine is profound and profound, and studying medicine is a hard job. He didn't want Gao Xiuer to work too hard, so he changed the subject and asked, "Xiuer, how much money do we have?"

Although the money was ill-gotten gains collected by Xu Tingfu, and Liu Ziqiu took it over in secret, it could only be done behind the scenes, and it was not easy to take a detailed inventory at Li Jing's house.What's more, these belongings included gold, silver, jewellery, jade wares, everything, and Liu Ziqiu didn't know the prices.So until now, he didn't know how much money he had.

Remembering that on the boat, Liu Ziqiu gave Qin Shubao a hundred taels of silver as soon as he made a move, Gao Xiuer became alert: "Why do you ask this?"

Liu Ziqiu knew that she was used to careful planning, so he couldn't help laughing and said, "Before Second Uncle left, he talked to me about one thing. He wanted to help the children in the village to study and go to school."

Gao Xiu'er had lived in the village for more than half a year. At that time, she was very ugly in her attire. Instead of laughing at her, the villagers sympathized with her.Since it was something that was beneficial to the village, Gao Xiu'er didn't ask any more questions, and said, "I did the math today, and besides what was used up, there are more than 3000 taels left."

"So many!" Liu Ziqiu was taken aback, and couldn't help cursing, "Xu Tingfu, a dead eunuch, really knows how to fish!"

When Gao Jiong was not in trouble, he was also rich.Gao Xiu'er has had a lot of money since she was a child, and she doesn't pay much attention to more than 3000 taels of silver.But after going through this accident, she has a new understanding of money. She raised her head and glanced at Liu Ziqiu, and said, "There is a school in the village, and it is enough to hire one teacher. Twelve beams of repairs per month, I will give you money." It costs 150 taels, and you can also invite Mr. to go to the wine shop twice."

Liu Ziqiu nodded, and said, "Well, it's up to you. Tomorrow, you hand over the silver to Third Aunt. Third Aunt is more familiar with the county, so just let her do it."

In fact, Liu Ziqiu understands that the plan of the Xie family and those prominent families in the south of the Yangtze River is not just to teach the children to read and write, but to let the children go to the exams to obtain fame. This is not as simple as hiring a Mr. Meng Xue.Not only do you need to invite famous teachers, but you also need to get through the joints in all aspects, which is really expensive.Although Xie, Wang and other prominent families in the south of the Yangtze River no longer enjoy the treatment of the gentry class, but their families have great fortunes, they can still get this little money, but the Xiao family no longer has this power.

However, Liu Ziqiu never planned to participate in this plan from the beginning to the end.This plan is not impossible to turn around, but the waiting time is too long, and it is difficult to see results without more than ten years of effort.If the Sui Dynasty could last for 200 years, it would be a good idea. Unfortunately, Liu Ziqiu's ability as a "prophet" knew that the Sui Dynasty would not be able to last for ten years.If there is such a large amount of wealth, it is better to use it to build a strong army and compete for the world.Even so, the children must be educated, otherwise they will only be forced to work as coolies for a lifetime.

Before dawn the next day, Liu Ziqiu came to the entrance of the village early.The villagers who have to go to work in the saltworks get up earlier than usual.Yesterday, the saltworks did not come to urge everyone to go to work, and many people began to feel uneasy.Xiao Dapeng also stood in the crowd with red eyes, he probably didn't sleep all night yesterday.

Liu Ziqiu looked at the crowd and suddenly said, "Dapeng, don't go today."

Xiao Dapeng said angrily, "Why?"

Liu Ziqiu sighed, and said, "Second Uncle just left yesterday, you can accompany me to offer two sticks of incense to his old man today."

Xiao Dapeng couldn't refuse, he shook his sleeves angrily, and walked aside.

Liu Ziqiu said to the rest of the people: "Today you go to work in the salt field, you will inevitably be made things difficult and ridiculed by others. I only have one request, no matter what they say or do, you must be calm, don't contradict, don't make noise, and don't do anything. !"

Shuanzi suddenly asked, "If the saltworks recruits other people and we are not required to go to work, what shall we do?"

Er Zhuang and the others also began to whisper to each other, obviously worried about this matter.

Liu Ziqiu waved his hand and said, "If the salt field won't let you in, you'll have to come back, and I'll take care of it myself."

Although Shuanzi and the others were a little puzzled, they still left the village as promised.Liu Ziqiu patted Xiao Dapeng on the shoulder, and said, "Let's go and see your grandpa!"
