Su Ze naturally came to ask the two of them for help because he had the idea of ​​​​throwing someone into a dead body if he could find wool.

"Brother Su, you want us to enlighten the children in the almshouse?"

Su Ze shook his head and said: "It is impossible for all of these children to take the imperial examination. As long as they can read and understand and learn some livelihood skills, it will be fine. They are not required to take the Mongolian imperial examination."

Chen and Lin both breathed a sigh of relief when they heard that Su Ze did not want all the children in the nursing home to take the imperial examination.

Scholars in Nanping County can tolerate children from poor families like Su Ze taking the imperial examination, but they cannot tolerate orphans taking the imperial examination.

The number of students in each prefecture and county is limited, and the more people there are, the more intense the competition will be.

Even Chen Chaoyuan and Lin Qingcai breathed a sigh of relief when they heard that Su Ze did not want to train their children to study and take the imperial examination.

Everyone has to go to the house to take the ladder, and even when they get to the shore, they want to sink the boat. This is human nature.

Su Ze's ambition is not to train these children to take the imperial examination and become officials. If he really rebels in the future, he will also need new bureaucrats with new ideas. It is definitely best to train them himself.

Moreover, talent is a matter of long-term investment. As the saying goes, "it takes ten years to grow trees and a hundred years to cultivate people." If a few of these children can become talents, it will be worthy of Su Ze's investment.

"I am going to write a simpler and more popular enlightenment book. If there are any Jianyang refugees outside the city who are good at engraving and printing these days, please help me pay attention to it, Brother Chen."

Chen Chaoyuan immediately said: "Brother Su, don't worry, this is easy."

Jianyang was invaded by Japanese pirates, and many skilled engraving craftsmen fled from Jianyang. Su Ze also wanted to take the opportunity to expand the manpower of the printing shop.

Su Ze said to Lin Qingcai again: "Brother Lin, do you also have a sociologist in the Lin family?"

Lin Qingcai nodded. Social studies and health studies were similar. They were private schools run within the family, and they were generally open-minded.

Lin Qingcai and his brother Lin Qingyuan, who worked as a scribe in the county school, were both educated in family sociology.

Su Ze said: "Can you please ask a member of your tribe who has received enlightenment to serve as a private tutor in the nursing home?"

Lin Qingcai thought for a moment and said, "I have a brother who has been studying for several years and is still farming at home."

Su Ze said: "I am willing to pay Shu Xiu one tael of silver a month and ask him to teach elementary school for an hour every morning in the nursing home. I will provide the teaching materials and writing."

"When I go to the city at the beginning of the month and the middle of the month, I will also go to the almshouse to give lectures to the children."

Lin Qingcai thought for a moment and realized that although one tael of silver was not much, it was still rich as a part-time job.

My own clan brother can also read when he is farming at home, and he can also use pen, ink, paper and inkstone when he goes to teach in the nursing home.

Lin Qingcai said: "Then I'll talk to my clan brother and he should agree."

Fang Ruolan acted quickly, and soon news came from the government office that he was willing to spend fifty taels to repair the almshouse.

The nursing home in Nanping City is located near Tongyifang in the west gate. It is a row of low dilapidated houses. Some of the houses have collapsed. Only the front door and the front of the house are still intact. This is left for inspection by the superior.

The magistrate's office provided the money, and Bai Zhixian also squeezed out thirty taels of silver from the county government's public funds.

Su Ze still didn't think it was enough, so he asked the angel investor Yu Ergongzi to donate twenty taels of silver.

The three brothers of the Chen family had seen the miserable condition of these children and collected ten taels of silver.

Sun Dianshi, the execution chamber of the county government, also learned the news and took out ten taels of silver.

When the news came that Su Ze was petitioning for a sanatorium, his benefits as a celebrity in the county became apparent.

Chen Moqun, the headmaster of Yanping Academy, and his friend Mr. Tuo Hu each contributed twenty taels of silver. The prefecture and college students also raised twenty taels. Together with Fang Ruolan's private money, they actually collected nearly two hundred taels of silver.

Su Ze took out another two hundred taels from his pocket and donated the money to the government office. With a stroke of his pen, the magistrate ordered the craftsmen to carve a stone tablet when the renovation of the almshouse was completed to record the generous donation to the almshouse today.

list of personnel.

After finishing all this, Su Ze raised his head and saw the bright moon in the sky, and then he remembered that today is August 15th, which is the Mid-Autumn Festival.
