Chapter 596
Men, women, old and young join the battle
Moreover, the old scholar had a weird temper, had no patience with students, and hit them at every turn.
Si Qing didn't want the village children to spend money and get beaten.
"I said I would set up an ethnic school in the village, so I will set up an ethnic school in the village. You don't have to worry about money. I will take care of it."
"How did this happen?" The clan elder was startled.
"Auntie, you said we can run a clan school, but we can't spend money on it from you."
Just kidding, how old is my aunt? If I ask my aunt to spend money to run a clan school in the village, they will probably have their backs stabbed even after they die.
"No, I will do whatever I say. Just listen!" Si Qing impatiently struggled with them on this matter.
He simply made the final decision: "I will pay for all the money needed to run a clan school, but I will pay for the pen, ink, paper and inkstones used for studying."
She paused and then added: "Both boys and girls in the village must go to school. You are not allowed to favor boys over girls. Not only do children have to go to school, but you also have to follow suit."
"Ah? Grandma, do we also want to study?" The villagers were shocked again.
"That's right, the reason why I want to set up a clan school is so that you can also study." Si Qing replied.
Villagers:...
Let a group of adults and children go to study together. They have never seen this scene. If this spreads out, people from all over the country will laugh at them to death?
"Auntie, isn't this bad? Is the master willing?" Si Shanhe asked weakly.
"You don't have to worry about this, I will make the master agree." At most, the money will be doubled.
"But grandma, if we all go to school, there will be no one to work in the fields!"
"Yes, grandma, it's enough for the children to have books to read. We are all a group of farmers, so it's useless to read so many books."
"No, we are so old and can't even read. It's a waste of time."
The villagers kept talking to each other, hoping that Si Qing could take back his life.
After hearing this, Si Qing didn't get angry. He just rolled his eyes and said with a smile: "It's up to you. Anyway, the clan school hasn't been started yet. You can decide for yourself whether you want to learn it."
When the villagers saw that the aunt was relieved, they were immediately happy, thinking that they could finally escape.
Bypassing this topic, everyone began to discuss with great interest where to choose a school. After much discussion, they finally unanimously decided to choose Si Dashan's house.
However, the living quarters are different from those in the school, and the Si Dashan family still needs to be renovated.
There are also things that need to be used in the school, which must be prepared, but this is not difficult. Zhao Daxi is a carpenter in the village. The desk is not complicated, just leave it to him.
It was not difficult to convert Si Dashan's family into a school. Si Qing and Si Zhengping discussed it and wrote a letter to ask Si Jinsong.
Then I drew a roughly revised drawing, and then handed the rest to the men in the village to modify it according to the drawing.
So Dajia Village, which was already busy, is now even busier. All the men, women and children in the village are participating in the battle. Even the toddlers who are two or three years old and can't walk are busy with their families in a decent manner.
The villagers were busy renovating the school, and Si Qing was certainly not idle either. She was busy looking for a suitable wife for the clan school.
There were more or less scholars in several nearby villages. Si Zhengping initially suggested that Si Qing find a wife nearby.
It's a pity that after asking around, I found that those who are somewhat proficient are still struggling with the scientific examination, or they are barely qualified as scholars, or they are the same as the old scholars in Hejia Village.
