Stir-fried Datang: The Strongest Daughter

Chapter 318 Investigation of Villagers
After a few days, there were suddenly many groups of villagers on the official road leading to Sanyuan County.

They dragged their families and moved in groups, talking and laughing all the way in the direction of Sanyuan County.

When he reached the boundary, he asked around, and soon found the way to Xiaoqingzhuang.A group of people happily headed towards Xiaoqingzhuang.

The elders of Sanyuan County didn't bother to take care of this matter, because in the past two years, villagers from other places have inquired too much about Xiaoqingzhuang.

Judging from the appearance of this group of people, they went to Xiaoqingzhuang again to investigate. Anyway, as long as they didn't bring knives into the country, they just opened their eyes, closed their eyes, and ignored them.

Furthermore, for the officials and gentlemen of Sanyuan County, the more people who come, the more economic growth, and the taxation means political achievements, and fools can't live with being promoted and getting rich!
Besides, where is Xiaoqingzhuang?
That is the property of the princess, and there is a shortage of manpower in the village!If you stop him, isn't this going to the latrine to light a lantern, courting death? !
So just don't make trouble, just go if you like!

Cheng Bao is still the housekeeper here, and after Qiaoer got married, he became the deputy housekeeper here.After all, Cheng Bao's level of education is poor, and Qiao'er has been taught by Yang Xiaoran for many years, she can write and calculate, and is well-informed, so she is now in charge of most things in this village.And Cheng Bao is responsible for receiving Han De, after all, this kind of thing has to be done by men, women can't do it, and they will be criticized by others.

Another wave of people came to Xiaoqingzhuang, Qiaoer was naturally pleasantly surprised.The work in this village will never be finished, and the autumn harvest is not over yet, but the orders have already been pressed until next autumn.

If someone is willing to come to work, it is naturally welcome.

But when Cheng Bao said that he came to see the school, Qiaoer was stunned.

It took a while before he said pleasantly: "Brother Bao, hurry up and let those folks come in!"

Cheng Bao smiled and said, "It's been arranged, Miss Qiaoer, look at how happy you are. Every time you see someone sending your baby to study, you can't be happier."

Qiao'er pursed her lips and smiled: "The eldest girl said that no matter how poor you are, you can't let your children have no books to read. Only by reading can you be sensible. I think I was a down-and-out child who was expelled by the family, and I can be taught by the eldest daughter today. Seeing the poor My children are happy when they have books to read."

Cheng Bao smiled, and said: "It's just a coincidence today, we go to school for five and a half days and rest for one and a half days, today happens to be Saturday and Sunday, and we have extra meals at noon, let the children finish eating, and just go home This group of villagers came by coincidence, just to show them the treatment of our Xiaoqingzhuang Academy."

Qiao'er smiled and said: "Mr. Wang personally came to inform the expansion of the school building. I knew that there would be villagers coming in the next few days, and I had already made preparations. The eldest girl attaches great importance to this matter. Let's You can’t be sloppy. From now on, our small school will officially be renamed Qingshan Academy.”

Cheng Bao was stunned for a while, then hesitantly said: "Is this what the eldest girl means?"

Qiao'er nodded, and said with a smile: "In a few days, the eldest girl will send someone to send the blueprints for building the house. She will also report to His Majesty, and let that Mr. Wang come to be the head of the mountain. If you can get an inscription written by His Majesty, it will be even better." alright."

"oops!"

Cheng Bao exclaimed, "That's a good relationship! There are quite a few people in this elementary school now, and the classes are divided into several groups. If it is expanded into an academy and there is an inscription by His Majesty, we can speak to the outside world seriously. We have recruited students. It's just that if there are more people, the cost..."

Qiao'er chuckled lightly, and said: "Students from poor families don't need money, of course. But those who have money have to spend more, so they can't fall in love with them. Mr. Wang said it, this is the original words of the eldest girl. Besides, what kind of money is there in our village?" I have everything, where is there any shortage of food? Zhuangzi has been expanded a few years ago. In addition to your majesty's reward, the eldest girl also bought all the surrounding unowned land. She also asked me to buy the neighboring land as well. , it will be of great use in the future.”

As he spoke, the smile on his face deepened, and he said: "The barren land can be turned into fertile land in two or three years with the three-crop method, and the cold water land (saline-alkali land) that is really uncultivable can be directly used for school building expansion. The eldest girl said that it is not worthwhile to cover the cold water with lime, so it is better to use it for other purposes. There are more and more people here, and the workshop is getting bigger and bigger. In the future, it will be expanded into a factory that the eldest girl said , Industrial Park, this space is not enough!"

Cheng Bao was stunned for a long time, not quite understanding.But like his father, he is a person who only knows how to follow orders and do things, after Xiao Xiao understands it, he doesn't say much anymore.

The two talked for a while, and then quietly went out to check the reactions of the villagers.

You Jin and Sun Simiao took a group of villagers to visit. A group of villagers saw that there were indeed many children studying here, and they asked secretly, and found that it was as the officials said, not only did children from poor families study for free, It was eaten back, and it boiled immediately when it was worn.

"Oh my god, there is such a good thing in the world. God opened his eyes and sent down Goddess Shennong to assist His Majesty. No wonder our life is getting better and better."

"Look at these children, they are all so strong, with red faces, and they seem to eat very well on weekdays. Tsk tsk, there is not a single yellow hair!"

The so-called yellow hair refers to those people with withered and yellow hair.In the years when productivity is lagging behind, it is normal for children and even adults to have withered and yellow hair, and some even have yellow ground like crooked nuts.Therefore, to measure a person's family situation, one should look at the complexion, the second look at the hair color, and the third look at the clothes.

The children here are full of food and water, even if they just come here, they will recover after a month or two of raising them.Coupled with daily exercise, these children look very strong.

Comparing my little doll with the children here, I can see the difference.

A group of people were completely excited.I also heard that there are six years of basic studies here, and after six years, I study in different subjects. Although I can't understand it, I don't understand it.

Especially the medical edition, the artisan class, may not be popular in the eyes of scholars.But for these simple people, although it is good to be a Jinshi, it is as difficult as taking the head of a general among thousands of troops.If your baby's grades are not that good after six years of learning, learning a craft is also a good choice.

Not to mention, taking these classes seems to pay better.Because if you don't take the imperial examination, the boss will take over and arrange work for you!
Thinking of it this way, my mind became flexible.

The owner here is the princess.

Who is the princess?
Leaving aside all the other mysteries, just saying that identity is enough to scare a bunch of people to death.

The wife of the prince of the Tang Dynasty and the future mother of the country, it is not easy to pass the imperial examination, but if you learn a craft, doesn't it mean you are doing things for the future mother of the country?If you switch again, you will be doing things for the future emperor. This is the business of Guangzong Yaozu!
Doesn't that mean being an official?
A group of villagers have big brains, and they quickly come up with imaginations.

Just as everyone was discussing happily, they heard the bell ringing.They asked one after another: "Two gentlemen, what is this?"

Eugene's Chinese is already very good, even without looking at his face and outline, everyone thought he was from Tang Dynasty.

He was wearing a Hanfu made of silk with wide sleeves, a square scarf on his head, and a folding fan in his hand. The beard on his chin had also been trimmed, giving him a somewhat refined look.

Touching his beard, he smiled and said, "Elders, this is the bell for dinner. Come on, hearing a hundred things is worth seeing once, all elders come with me and Daoist Sun, and let's see what the children are eating."

"Ah! This barbarian's Guanzhong speech is really good!"

A group of people admired, and Sun Simiao smiled and said: "This Father Eugene is a scholar from the Great Qin Kingdom in the far west, um, he is what you often call a Fushi."

A group of villagers suddenly realized, but secretly muttered in their hearts: How strange!Could it be that my culture in the Central Plains is not comparable to the Fushu barbarians?How can a barbarian teach children how to read?

Seeming to see the doubts of the villagers, Sun Simiao said with a smile: "This Father Youjin is the best and most outstanding scholar in Daqin. He was specially hired by the princess. Maybe he is not my opponent when it comes to the Four Books and Five Classics, but If this astronomy and geography is one of the best, some of his companions are now officials in the imperial court..."

The villagers suddenly realized.He thought to himself: "It was originally to teach some other knowledge... Maybe the princess concubine did it for your majesty. It's not surprising that there are quite a few people from this small country studying in the Tang Dynasty to become officials in recent years."

A small episode flashed by, and Eugene still had a smile on his face, and he was not at all displeased by the contempt of the villagers.Instead, I took everyone into the school cafeteria to have a look.

There are now three canteens in this small green village, two of which are large for the workers in the workshop.And this small one is for school students and gentlemen.

Now there are quite a few students in the school, three to four hundred people.There are also thirty or forty gentlemen dug by the princess from various places, plus a group of scholars from the Western Regions and apprentices of Daoist Sun, if they all pour in, it will really seem a bit crowded.

Fortunately, a few days ago, the Crown Princess sent a message that the school building will be expanded, and the cafeteria will be included by then, and it will have to be greatly renovated.

According to the rules of the school, the teachers have to let the children eat first.Although there is a feeling of putting the cart before the horse, I can also feel the love and care of the princess for the students.

If a teacher does not love his disciples, how can he teach others?If you can't wait, you can grab a meal and go to your office to eat.Otherwise, you have to wait until the students have finished eating before it is the teacher's turn to sit down and eat.

Of course, the meals for the gentlemen are also prepared separately.After all, those who teach and educate people should be given some preferential treatment. Compared with the meals of the students, the meals of the teachers of Xiaoqingzhuang Academy are more popular.

A group of villagers stood outside, poking their heads to check.

I saw a long row of cabinets at the front of the cafeteria, which seemed to be used to separate the students from the cooks.There are still a few frames on it, and the students are holding something like a wooden plate, which is divided into several compartments, and there is also a small bowl with a wooden spoon inside.

At the other end of the cabinet, a group of strong women and men with bandaged hair came over carrying wooden barrels one by one. When they lifted the lid, the fragrance immediately overflowed, even standing outside could smell it.

Among them was a tall woman with her hands on her hips, she was very angry in her dantian, as if she was brewing something.Just when they were wondering, they heard a thunderous voice from the other side of the cabinet: "Dinner is ready! Everyone line up and come one by one! Whoever snatches the food will have no food, let's talk about you! Are you new? There are no rules! Line up go!!!"
