Reborn Brother Farming Story

Chapter 108

The troubles caused by the scholars are serious, because it is meritorious, great merit.

Of course the officials have also heard about it. Many of them are scholars who went out to serve as officials, but they are no longer pure scholars after entering the officialdom.

The ministers in the court are officials, so naturally they would not speak for the scholars, so they wrote a note and presented it to the emperor after deliberation.

The emperor read it silently, and said: "Let the matter of learning be left to the learned people."

A hammer is fixed.

That person doesn't have to be selected from the court and sent there. Most scholars are high-minded and have strange tempers, so no one will lose face.If the imperial court wants to invite a person of high morals and prestige who specializes in learning to preside over this matter, I am afraid it will not be easy.

But several important officials in the court knew that at this time there was someone in Shanggu Village who was the right candidate, He Shuo.

The imperial decree came, but the eunuch delivering the decree was still an acquaintance.

Only He Shuo and Brother Xing were there when the imperial decree was read out, and the eunuch passing the decree specially passed on the emperor's spoken words, saying that no one should be alarmed.

When the eunuch delivered the decree, Liu Yaoqing was lying on the kang and humming. Yesterday he asked Brother Zhezi to help move the low bed out to bask in the sun. As a result, a bee flew over and felt that his exposed arm was as white as a flower petal. He wanted to pick honey, but after picking honey for a long time, he couldn't get any honey, so he became angry and stabbed him.

At that time Liu Yaoqing's arm was swollen, brother Zhezi went to the village to buy herbal medicine from Dr. Shen and applied it on Liu Yaoqing.

After one night, the arm became more swollen, and it hurt a little when touched. Originally, the arm was white, but now it looked transparent. Brother Zhezi was so distressed that he didn't plan to ask him to go out today. Have a good rest.

"Since he's here, I have to see you." Liu Yaoqing urged Brother Zhezi, "Go and get me a palm-sized jar with wild raspberry and peach stuffing, some popcorn, marinated peanuts, and so on. The gift box made is full."

The gift box is different from the wooden boxes used to hold things. This time it is exquisitely made, and there are engraved words of Qinliu Farm. There are several squares inside for sending things.

Before the new year, Liu Yaoqing was going to use this as a gift, so she used it first.

The chief eunuch is the emperor's confidant, and he knows many things that are not known to outsiders. At this time, when he was invited by brother Zhezi, he did not despise Liu Yaoqing's clothes at all, but smiled very kindly.

The gift box was given, but the eunuch did not refuse, and sent him away after saying a few words.

Outside, brother Zhezi personally saw off.

The eunuch wanted to salute, but Brother Zhezi raised his hand to stop him, saying, "I'm just an ordinary person."

In the house, Liu Yaoqing pulled the quilt to cover her body, and thought with her fingers, "We have to build a new greenhouse. It's cold in winter, and we can't grow vegetables without a greenhouse. Let's eat it this year, and sell the rest. Strawberries They are about to be planted, and we will rely on this and tomatoes in winter. This winter is extremely cold, so we must prepare in advance.”

With many people and strong strength, these tasks were done very quickly, Liu Yaoqing's arm finally subsided, and the skin on that area was wrinkled, and it would not be completely healed until it fell off.

"It's time to prepare the new year's goods." Liu Yaoqing smiled, "Mr. Xing is on our mountain to celebrate the New Year. He takes care of food and shelter, and brings a gift box back to send it over. Others don't care about food and lodging, but they have to take care of them. After all, we took other people's food. money."

"Well, I've made all the arrangements." Brother Zhezi said, "there is a special house for students in the school. They moved there for a few days, but they didn't need to pay money, but they couldn't stand it and moved back."

The student dormitory built by the school is a Datong shop, with only a few single rooms. The wooden beds are placed inside, and the wooden floor is also laid, but there is no kang or fire wall. The women in the village were invited to make it, and the ingredients were bought every day, and a lot of money was spent, but the taste was not as good as that on the mountain.

The scholars moved back after only two days. It would be better to spend money to live on the mountain, eat in the hall, and go to the bathhouse to take a steaming bath.

Everyone has discussed that no students will be recruited for the time being before the year, and the teachers will be temporarily held by the scholars themselves, and the farmers in Shanggu Village will be taught, regardless of age or gender.

When the imperial decree came, He Shuo took the lead at this time. He did not refuse, but he still taught the group of scholars to toss about.

It so happened that Liu Yaoqing and Brother Zhezi both came for the trial lecture today.

He was the one who raised the opinion at the beginning, although he didn't really participate in this matter, the scholars cared about Liu Yaoqing's opinion very much, and specially asked him to come and listen.

The house was very big, and there were rows of people sitting inside. Liu Yaoqing and brother Zhezi found the last seats and sat near the open back door. The sun was just right at this time, but it was not cold.

There are not many people coming from the village, but there are not many. Basically, people from every household come. Looking at Liang Songzi standing on the podium.

"Hey, teaching you to read is not for the imperial examination, but for not being deceived, illiterate, or ignorant. The first is not to be deceived. Everyone is illiterate. If you ask someone to write a letter, you don't know what you write. In case the life-saving letter is given to you If it is ruined, where can I go to reason? The second is not illiterate, that is, you can recognize the words we commonly use, so that you will not be blind; As for being stupid."

"Everyone must know that the little guys and buddies in the pancake workshop on the mountain are not serious scholars. It is definitely not good to ask them to write poems and essays, but they can be literate, and they are organized in their words and actions."

"You have to understand why you sit here. It's not for freshness, or because someone came here, but for yourself! Who doesn't want to live a good life, who doesn't want to live clearly, I dare not say that literacy and reading are comparable to A serious scholar of the imperial examination, but at least better than the previous self!"

"Living life is not comparing with others, but comparing with yourself before. Is it better, is it getting worse, is it still able to eat lean meat last year, but this year I can't even give up lard."

"Other families are still quarreling over an egg, beating and scolding over who works more and who does less in the field, but some families go hand in hand, and start thinking about how to make money and how to live well after finishing the work in the field. Days, how can there be so much time to think about other things."

Liang Songzi stood on the podium and talked eloquently. Seeing that the people below gradually became serious, he wrote a few commonly used and simple words on the wooden board, asking everyone to memorize them carefully.

At the end of a class, Liu Yaoqing and Brother Zhezi did not leave immediately, but listened to what everyone was saying.

"Brother Shui is amazing now. His father wants to marry him, but Brother Shui is unwilling, saying that he is not in the mood to find a younger brother now, and he wants to live a good life first."

"Brother Tiao's younger sister, Liu Yizhi, do you know? She is also in the pancake workshop now. I met her when I got up early a few days ago. Her family was picking up food, and the little girl settled the accounts and wrote it down. She is better than his brother. Whoever marries her in the future will be blessed."

"We are older, and it may be difficult to calculate accounts, but we can read a few words, and we will be able to read letters by ourselves in the future."

Reading has never been easy.

The children were enlightened at the age of three, five, and seven, and then followed the teacher, studying hard no matter in winter or summer, but how many of them could truly become children, and then be admitted to the scholar, and become a master of scholar?

In the entire village, if there is a master scholar who burns high incense, most of the rest of the Mongolian children are too old to study and no longer study, but their families have also been emptied because of the bondage.

Reading is not the same as literacy, but you can also figure it out.

The villagers don't understand the big truth, but they can see the changes in the children of the pancake workshop. If they want to live a good life, they have to be like them.

It's not too late to get older.

"It's easy to repair the school, let everyone maintain the school environment together, give some food, and then send it to the school canteen for distribution." Liu Yaoqing said, "Of course, if someone offers money, we will also accept it , just keep an account.”

The clear account is that everyone can see it.

Scholars have to give up money after they have gained the merit of enlightenment, otherwise the merit of enlightenment will be tainted with the smell of copper, and I am afraid that it will not be able to stop the mouths of the world.

Liang Songzi rubbed the sweat on his palms and said: "I discussed it earlier, and I don't need any money. I will continue to invest money in the future to build the same school in other places. When Brother Qing said to build a school, I thought It's for the kids, and I didn't expect it to be so, so..."

Don't look at the class time, but Liang Songzi wrote the lesson plan five days in advance. After discussing with Liu Yaoqing several times and revising it several times, the final draft is like today. Liang Songzi didn't sleep for several days, and he memorized the lesson plan by heart , Rao was still nervous and sweaty when he said that.

This is not the same as simply teaching knowledge, and everyone can't understand it. Just speaking a few simple words has the effect of returning to the basics.

This is not a blasphemy of knowledge, on the contrary, there is a feeling that I have not lived my life in vain.

After studying for so many years, what to do for the community, for the people, for the common people, the scholars talk about it every day, except for the sadness of the autumn, the moon, the joys and sorrows, and the compassion for the world. At this time, what did they finally do? It's something that makes you want to cry.

This is the path pointed out by Liu Yaoqing, but he does not take credit for it.

Liang Songzi bowed deeply to Liu Yaoqing, but Liu Yaoqing nimbly hid behind Brother Zhezi, allowing Brother Zhezi to accept the gift.

He was just talking about it, people like Liang Songzi were in charge, so they couldn't deserve such a great gift, but brother Zhezi could, with his knowledge and his noble status, he really could afford it.

It's just that brother Zhezi's identity was not revealed, and Liu Yaoqing was also happy to pretend to be confused, and when Liang Songzi straightened up, he walked forward and said with a smile: "Congratulations, the school is going very well, but if you go back to the mountain to eat, you will have to give money. .I haven’t worked on the mountain for the past few days. Is there enough money for accommodation? If it’s not enough, I’ll kick him out.”

Liang Songzi, who was so touched just now, and even shed tears, suddenly became stiff. He is indeed running out of money. The money for the canteen and accommodation on the mountain is not very expensive, but there is not much money for him.
