Nongmen ruffian concubine: ploughing the fields, planting buns

Chapter 652

It's just that the current King Zhao has no intention of going back.

He even secretly discussed with Li Kan whether he should kill the King Zhao with a sudden death.

It's just that the dignified prince can't die casually, it will implicate countless lives in the whole family.

Things were put on hold like this, but the days were leisurely.

After some snacks and two cups of tea, they came running in.

"Boss, it's already installed in the East Wing. I'll try to clean the sweet potatoes in the afternoon." Ding Dian sat down at the table, and was about to reach out for some snacks.

"I'm sweating profusely. I went to fetch water to wash my hands and face before eating." Ding Shitou slapped his hand, "Now you are a scholar, not a bastard."

Ding Dian shrank his neck and got up quickly.Jiang Huzi and Liu Xuegui laughed, and hurriedly followed.

Seeing that they were done, Li Kan and Han Yiqing got up and left.

"Boss, not far to the left of Sanchakou is Yuanjia Village. I heard from Yuan Bai that their master is from Hexia Village next door, and the long river they saw when they came here passes through Hexia Village."

After returning, Jiang Huzi talked about other village schools while drinking tea.

"Shanghe Village, Hexia Village, Fengshan'ao Village and their Yuanjia Village were all enlightened at the master's house. Most of them dropped out of school after three to five years of study, and not many of them could study for eight years."

"Master's surname is Chen. He is not from Xiahe Village. He is the son of a shop owner in the city, because my grandmother's family is here."

"Ten years ago, the shop caught fire, and the family moved here and bought two acres of land."

"At that time, he was already a scholar, so he opened a village school and married the daughter of a relative in the village."

"It's just ten years and I only passed the Juren exam. I lost Chunwei once in the war before, and Chunwei failed to make the list the year before last. I was ill this year and failed to catch up."

"Now his son has been admitted as a scholar, and he also helps lead the class, but he leads the enlightenment class and the children's class, and his son leads the other classes, a total of four classes."

Jiang Huzi told what he knew, glanced at Liu Xuegui, and suddenly laughed.

"However, the Chen family's father and son are much more noble than Xia Xiucai's father and son. They have the intention to teach scholars, and the four classes are well assigned."

"It's just that too many people drop out of school early in the hope of knowing a few words and understanding some principles, and have no intention of continuing to study."

"However, Mrs. Chen has a good reputation, and there are still people from ten miles and eight villages going to study. Although the farm is far away, we just asked the steward to inquire about it."

"There are no private schools nearby, and not many people can read and write, and they all rely on working or being tenants. I'm afraid they may not be able to afford the money."

Yuanjia Village is more than ten miles, nearly twenty miles away from Jiangxia Village. Next door to Jiangxia Village is their Nancheng Village, but now their farm continues to go south and then east.

In other words, the farther away from the city, the weaker the environment.

Jiangnan is good at farming, and there are scholars in Jiangnan. This should be a land of prosperity, but...

"It doesn't matter, we don't rely on a private school for profit now. Five hangings for the first class, four hangings for the second year, and three hangings for the third year. Tea is provided once in the morning, not in the afternoon, and school ends early."

Zhao Jian, who had never been involved in such trivial matters, suddenly spoke.

Ding Shitou turned to look at him in surprise, not understanding why he made such a decision suddenly.

Only Zhao Jian knew in his heart that Jiangnan was not poor. When Zhu Yunqi was in power, even the literati were prosperous, but he also accumulated many disadvantages of unbalanced careers.

Later, the father led the army to go south, and after several years of war, malpractices broke out, the south of the Yangtze River was weak, and the scholars insulted the father. Naturally, some of them were killed, some were hidden, and the rest went to the new dynasty.
