Chapter 159 Private School

Li Xin finally left in shame, with bamboo slips in his arms. He also walked away with several pairs of saddles and stirrups, pointing to the fat tiger, "National Master, this fat tiger is very fat, absolutely delicious, slap!"

Close the door and let the dog go!

Li Xin had to put down the jade pendant he had with him to redeem himself, and then he was able to leave Jingyang. This guy was definitely a bandit in his previous life. He even left a few potatoes from Bai Ji and said he would take them back to farm.

This doesn't matter. Li Xin is not so stupid as to eat Xiangrui. If doctors such as Bao Bailingzhi know, they will definitely spray him to death. What he thought was to plant some by himself first, and then take it to Longxi to spread.

"Oh, I lost money..."

Chunyu Yue said, locking the beautiful jade in the wooden box. Last time Wang Jian came to ask for potatoes, but Bai Ji didn't even give it to him, so he asked Li Xin, a silly man, to take away a few.

Jade Pu is the best Lantian jade, with a transparent color and worth tens of thousands of yuan. But compared with auspicious potatoes, it is a slag. Not to mention the stirrups and saddles, it is even more of a loss of blood.

In terms of making stirrup saddles, it is actually not much difficulty. If you want to make it carefully, it will definitely take a lot of effort, but now it is good to use it, and there is not so much attention.

Qin Shihuang naturally would not let go of such good things. He ordered Nanyang County to mobilize 3,000 craftsmen to make it immediately. It is made of cooked iron, and the materials are simple and cheap.

The steelmaking method is still in the confidential stage, and the other drawings need to be properly preserved. The outsourcing is the three tribes of Yi. The fat man knows the importance of stirrup saddles to cavalry, but he must not be concealed.

He was relieved to see Bai Ji's methods. In the future, there will be earth-shaking changes due to Bai Ji.

Chunyu Yue put down the booklet and sighed leisurely. He touched the booklet with love, as if he was caressing a woman's smooth back. Smelling the rich fragrance of paper, Chunyu Yue immediately felt refreshed.

This is the printed "Thousand Character Text" that is bound into a book, and it is packed with later generations. The pages of the book are folded back to back, with one side of the text facing outward, and the pages are used as the mouth of the book. Then stick both sides of the pages on the spine, and then thread the nails with needles and threads.

There are only more than thirty pieces of paper in total, and there are definitely not so many texts for the Thousand Characters. So some of them are basic textbooks, including some fables from "Lüshi Chunqiu". Basic mathematics is also included, and they are all basics.

This is the textbook for private schools. A book with nearly 10,000 characters and a volume of bamboo slips are more important than this. Chunyu Yue couldn't put it down, but the textbooks were compiled by him according to Bai Ji's meaning.

Including Langya stone carvings, they were all included in the textbook. According to Bai Ji, this is called ideological education, cultivating their patriotism. Children are like white paper, and what kind of book they will become in the future depends on how Chunyu Yue writes ink.

They knew very little about the hatred they had before. As long as Qin did not mention it, they could naturally let go of their hatred. In addition, they would promote the unity of the Xia Dynasty and make the world a major convergence trend, and sooner or later they could quell their old grudges.

But the private schools are still under construction, there are not many childish students, the books are not enough, everything is still in an ideal structure...

...

Meng Cao now has new work. In addition to drying coal in the papermaking workshop, he also has to go to the cafeteria to make some money. He has no wages, but he can bring a few thick buns back before leaving.

Her two younger brothers are now apprenticed to Lu Jiang and learn to cast. Now they are helping to build horseshoes, but they are not allowed to do other senior ones. They are not old, one is fourteen and the other is twelve. Lu Jiang is not very good at treating them, and his wages are settled on time every day, and he still cares about food.

I don’t think what I eat is very good, but it is definitely much better than before. If I can eat dry things, I will never give it a thin one. Eggs and river fish are available every day. Occasionally, I will stew a mutton bone soup, which is very delicious. With solid steamed buns, I can eat them every meal and I want to pat my belly.

Last time, Bai Ji gave each of them two feet of Gema and asked them to make their own clothes. After all, it was a card, and they couldn't wear them too shabby. Many people have new clothes, but they didn't see anyone wearing them.

There is no way, in the steel mill, I was so hot that I was sweating all over. If I didn’t pay attention, I might get a hole. Who would be willing to wear new clothes? They all wanted to break the copper coins in half and spend them. If they had some money, they would hide them. Be prepared for danger in times of peace, in case of emergency.

Now that you eat well and dress well, you will never spend money indiscriminately.

But the problem is, they are so happy to do this, what should Bai Ji do?

Bai Ji's merits depend entirely on their living standards. He has money and food, but his living standards are no different from before. He is not good at stinging each one, which makes him one of them the first and two of them.

Last time, Bai Ji mentioned it and said he had to eat three meals a day.

Hearing this, several Guizhou leaders almost fell into the river.

Three meals?

Haotian is on the way, and who in Jingyang is so useless, he will definitely be scolded by the backbone. Two meals a day are something that no one dares to think about. Three meals can only be enjoyed by nobles.

Meng Cao smoothed out the wrinkles on the hemp shirt and stood nervously in front of the mansion door. Looking at the grand gate, she didn't dare to go forward. She happened to be on holiday today and wanted to ask Bai Ji to do something.

As the saying goes, the elder sister is like a mother. The two elders in the family are sick. The burden is all on her. Now the two younger brothers can help with their work. However, Meng Cao has his own ideas.

A few days ago, Meng Cao heard Qi Xuan talk about something. The emperor planned to build a private school. It would surpass the Jixia Academy in Qi, and there were great wise men in the world who taught in the academic institution. Even Bai Ji would occasionally hold classes.

Bai Ji studied the heavens and man, and had the talent of conquering heaven and earth. He knew astronomy and geography. If he could get his teachings, he would have the opportunity to become an official.

During this period, as long as you read, you are an extraordinary person. If you have more than enough knowledge, you may become a pavilion chief or even a county official. Being able to take office is definitely better than digging food in the field.

Although Meng Cao was illiterate, he knew the general knowledge. As long as a private school was established, there would definitely be many people rushing to enroll, and they were afraid that the neighboring counties and even the capital would come. Needless to say, Bai Ji was worth hundreds of schools alone. I didn’t see the emperor handing over his young son Hu Hai to Bai Ji?

If the nobles come, will they still have their share?

Meng Cao mustered up the courage and knocked on the door gently with a bamboo basket.

Shangniu opened the door and found that it was Meng Cao and was immediately surprised.

"Are you?"

"Meng Cao asked to see you."

With Bai Ji's identity, of course, it is not something that anyone can see. However, he is very friendly and can come to the mansion to ask for a meeting as long as he has something to do. Of course, the kind who is looking for trouble should be forgotten, and he will be kicked out directly.

Shangniu nodded and walked in front.

For safety reasons, the militants like Fat Tiger were all in the backyard. All they could see in the front yard were Cang Ge, Facai, and Da Mao who worked diligently.

"Meng Cao, I have met you."

Bai Ji was pouring the broken jade into the fairy spirit, while the seedlings carefully put them all away. Seeing that Meng Cao was coming, they were all indoctrinated, Bai Ji signaled Meng Cao to exempt him from the ceremony.

Unexpectedly, Meng Cao knelt on the ground with his knees very simply, holding the basket in his hands and lifted it up high. The gauze was blown away by the wind, and there were two fat pig trotters inside, with bloodshot lines. You could tell at a glance that they had just bought it.

"Please accept Shu Xiu."

Shu Xiu?

"You are here for your two younger brothers."

Bai Ji was also moved when he looked at the two pig's trotters.

Meng Cao's family is in a bad state. Both elders have become ill due to overwork and can only take care of themselves slowly. Xu Fu has visited him many times, but now he is a little better now, and his family doesn't have much money. The harvest is not good, so he may not even have enough food after paying the land tuition.

The hind legs of the two pigs weigh about 60 kilograms, which is at least 200 yuan. Meng Cao has probably not had that much since he worked in a papermaking workshop. He was afraid that he had borrowed a lot from Que or others before buying the hind legs of the two pigs.

[No matter how poor you are, you cannot be poor in education, and no matter how hard you are, you cannot be hard in children.]

This is what Bai Ji's father said after smoking two dry tobaccos. He had never asked anyone to travel all over the village, and was coldly watched by many people. He received a few cents of receipts, which turned into tuition fees.

Meng Cao, probably the same is true.

Repair is a rule and is essential.

"Please accept it!"

Meng Cao kowtowed again, his eyes flushed.

"Old Chun."

"exist."

"Get three hundred dollars to the warehouse."

Bai Ji looked at Meng Cao, "Get up. Just listen to the rumors in Jingyang. I have my own plans to collect many childish students. I will be exempted from the storm. I don't need these. My brother is still smart and hardworking. If they are willing, I can try it after the private school is completed."

Meng Cao's eyes suddenly rose a little mist, and he acted as if he wanted to kneel down to Bai Ji again.

"No need to kneel down." Bai Ji waved his hand, "Tell them both and let them prepare well. After entering school, I will adjust the time and let them work and study part-time."

“Work and study?”

"It's just about working and learning."

"No, Mengcao can be used for workmanship!"

Meng Cao shook his head repeatedly. In her opinion, it is enough to be able to study, so he has to spend all his energy. Isn’t it a waste to do the work?

"They should shoulder the responsibility. The apprentice I want to accept is not a nerd who can't distinguish between grains. It doesn't matter if your family is poor. You can do odd jobs in your spare time and you won't starve to death."

Bai Ji's attitude is very tough. Now he is very precocious. The seven-year-old child already knows to help his family do some work within his ability. Private schools don't have to attend classes all day long, and it's okay to do odd jobs without affecting his studies.

Like the Meng Cao family, she can rely on her alone, how can she hold on?

"If you don't agree, you don't have to send them."

Bai Ji waved his hand and his attitude was very tough.

When Meng Cao heard this, he almost cried, and threw his head like a rattle, "Meng Cao, thank you for your kindness."

"Get this money and pay back the debt you owed."

Chunyu Yue gave Meng Cao a basket of copper coins, and the hind legs of the pig she bought would naturally be left behind. Three hundred copper coins shone brightly in the sun and covered them with erectus. Meng Cao choked up several times.

This is the blessing they have cultivated for several lifetimes before they can meet Bai Ji?
