Reborn Farmhouse: Planting Fields, Flirting with People

Chapter 772 Contribute to the Village
On the tenth day of the Lunar New Year, Li Shou specially invited the old patriarch, Li Zheng and several other clan elders to his home for dinner.

One is to celebrate the New Year, and the other is to discuss matters such as clan fields and ethnology.

This is a great thing that benefits the village and the people. Li Shoucai started talking, and the old patriarch was so excited that he took his hand and praised him again and again.

"Okay, okay, the old man is right, Brother Shou, you are a good boy, I thank you on behalf of the whole family.

I'm old, the hope of revitalizing the Li clan depends on your generation. "

Li Shou scratched his head in embarrassment, and said modestly, "Third Uncle, don't say that, you can't thank me, you're an outsider.

I am also a member of the Li clan, and I am a member of the village. I should share my efforts for our village.

Without Lijiacun, without you, there would be no Li Shou today.

My own little family is doing well, and I naturally hope that the big guys will get better and better. "

Li Zheng Li Shouyi also patted him on the shoulder, "Brother, well done, you are a role model for me."

Not everyone can have the courage to take out thousands of taels of silver to contribute to the clan without blinking an eye.

Even if he is Li Zheng, even if he owns tens of millions of wealth like him, he will never be able to be so impartial.

He poured himself a full glass of wine, raised his glass and said, "I, Li Shouyi, don't have many people to admire in my life, and you, Li Shou, are one of them. I did it!"

Li Shou also picked up his wine glass and drank it down.

After drinking for three rounds, Li Shou talked about the specific matters of ethnology and clan fields.

Li Mingyue wrote a detailed plan before, and explained it to Li Shou carefully, and it didn't take much effort for him to explain it now.

Roughly speaking, the construction of the school, as well as the expenses for the first three years, are all borne by the family.

Then the family donated [-] mu of fertile land to the clan as the clan land of the Li clan, which was jointly managed by the old patriarch, Li Zheng and the clan elders.

After three years, the cost of the school will be borne by the clan.

The school only accepts children aged four to 12, and both boys and girls can enroll.

Children of the Li family do not need to pay Shuxiu when they enter the school. People with surnames outside the village pay [-] Wenshuxiu per person per month, and people from other villages pay [-] Wenshuxiu per person per month.

Pen, ink, paper and inkstone, books and other expenses shall be borne by the students themselves.

All the confinement repairs belong to the clan.

In addition, a women's school is held every year to teach women and girls how to read characters, as well as female red, weaving, cooking and other skills.

Li Shou gave a very detailed and thoughtful plan regarding various matters concerning the school and family farm, and he paid for all the necessary expenses. Naturally, everyone had no objection.

It's just about women's education. Several clan elders feel that it is unnecessary to do it. Women can't achieve great things. Setting up women's education is just an unnecessary increase in expenses.

Li Zheng and several other clan elders thought it was a good thing to run a women's school, so they argued with each other, and they got blushed at the dinner table.

The old patriarch coughed heavily, smashed the pipe and said, "I think it's a good thing to run a women's school, since our family doesn't have many female relatives.

Wouldn't it be good to let the female relatives know a few big characters and know the book?Our daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law can read and write, and if this is said, others will take a high look.Let's just talk about Mingyue girl from Brother Shou's family, who doesn't respect her when she goes out now?
It is not a loss if you can learn a few skills from yourself.If you have too many skills, you can still do some work to supplement the family's income during the slack season. No matter how bad it is, you can also improve the food at home, right? "

The last sentence made everyone laugh.

But if you think about it carefully, this is indeed the case.Anyway, don't pay for it yourself, just do it, and let the daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law learn it, and it won't be a loss.

As soon as the old patriarch made a decision, the matter of the female school was settled.

Then, we discussed some specific details.

The old patriarch also proposed that a monument of merit should be erected at the entrance of the school to record Li Shou's merits, so that future generations can know the origin of the school and know how to be grateful.

This point was unanimously agreed by everyone, and Li Shou refused repeatedly, so he had no choice but to accept it.
