Chapter 216 217 County School

Zhou Jia returned to the custody room, and Wang Chenglai came to deliver the report: "Sir, I told Wang He alone the results of the trial. Wang He had already brought Wang Daqiang's body back, and even asked to go before leaving. Looking at Mrs. Su, Tu Dianshi didn't agree and scolded her, and Mrs. Wang He left with a curse."

Zhou Jia nodded and said: "Okay, I understand, you go down first!" After saying that, he went to the signing room next door and told Mr. Qian to go out of the city to pick up Li Yu.

Ten kilograms of corn were planted on two acres of slope land. After planting, Li Yu told Chang Gong and Yang Wei what needed to be paid attention to, and went to the village to look at the pigs, chickens and ducks raised by Li's mother and daughter.

Mrs. Li has become more talkative, and Li Xia no longer shrinks when seeing people coming, and she can also say hello to people with a blushing face.

Mrs. Li pointed to the sun-dried earthworm powder in the dustpan and said to Li Yu: "Madam, you see, I made this as you told me. I dug a hole in the vegetable field behind. Ah Wei and Xia'er went to I dug some earthworms and raised them in a pit. After boiling them, I ground them into powder and mixed them with rice bran and wild vegetables to feed the chickens and ducks. Seeing that the chickens and ducks grew quickly, I mixed some more into pig food, and the piglets grew longer after eating them. It’s much faster than when I didn’t add ground dragon powder, and the coat color is also brighter.”

Li Yuxiao praised Mrs. Li and said, "Sister-in-law, you are so good. You love to learn how to use it. From now on, you can specialize in managing livestock!"

Sister-in-law Li said shyly: "Madam, please don't praise me. These are what I should do. As long as you don't dislike me and Xia'er, I will always help you raise these animals."

Yang Wei carried eggs, wild vegetables, and vegetables grown on the village, and shouted outside: "Madam, the master is here to pick you up."

"Here we come," Li Yu walked towards the road at the door and said to Sister-in-law Li who was escorting her out: "Don't worry, why am I worried? Remember not to be too frugal. The chickens are starting to lay eggs, so you should keep some." eat by yourself."

"Hey!" Sister-in-law Li felt warm in her heart as she watched Li Yu get on the carriage. She felt that the days of not having to worry about fear would become more enjoyable as time went by.

After Li Yu got on the car, he sat on the rafter next to Zhou Jia, "Xiao Xi, how is the new Xian Wei? Do you find it easy to get along with?"

Zhou Jia looked at Li Yu who was sitting next to him and said with a smile: "He looks quite cheerful. I heard from Shen Wu that Yu Xianwei was recommended by the Qingzhou magistrate, and he also passed the martial arts examination. It seems that his ranking is not bad. As for the other things, You have to see it to find out, but when he comes, I will be free to build the county school. Yu'er, do you think you should choose a new location to build it, or just build it in the old location?"

Li Yu spread his hands and said, "I don't know where my old position is. Isn't it in vain for you to ask me?"

Zhou Jia chuckled and said, "You little fool, that's the messy forest opposite our Zhuangzi. There are still some ruins in the forest!"

Li Yu clapped his hands in surprise, "That's it! The forest opposite is quite big, probably one or two hundred acres of land. In this case, of course it needs to be rebuilt on the original site! Think about it, our Zhuangzi is right opposite, we can be sure On the official road, we should carve out a place and build an inn and a few shops. Oh my! This piece of wasteland is worth buying!"

Zhou Jia looked at Li Yucai's fascinated look and laughed, "Yes! Then just listen to my wife's advice and stay in my old position. From tomorrow onwards, I will start hiring people, buy materials and start construction, and strive to start the school in the second half of the year to recruit students."

"Okay, once the winter wheat is harvested, I will free up the area near the official road and build an inn and shop."

The couple arrived at the county government office chatting and laughing. Zhou Jia gave the reins to the concierge Uncle Liu, got out of the car, carried the eggs and vegetables, and walked toward the courtyard gate next to the county government office. The concierge Liu Shu held the horse and drove the cart into the livestock station. The shed unloaded the car.

The two entered the yard and saw that Mr. Wen and Li Qing had gone home. Li Yu said to Mr. Wen, "Sir, Awei picked fresh shepherd's purse in the village. Let's eat shepherd's purse dumplings for lunch."

Mr. Wen looked at the shepherd's purse in the bamboo basket and said with a smile: "Okay! The shepherd's purse has a sweet and mild taste. It has the effects of harmonizing the spleen, diuresis, stopping bleeding, and improving eyesight. You can pick it from Awei, dry it, and keep it for winter consumption. .”

Zhou Jia shook his head and sighed: "Sir, you see, everything you eat has turned into medicinal materials in your eyes."

Mr. Wen gave Zhou Jia a hard blow and said in a feint of anger: "You brat, don't bother me with your half-full bucket of water."

Zhou Jia looked at Li Qing who was smiling and gloating at the side, hugged him and said: "Ah Qing, brother-in-law read an old article yesterday and thought it would be helpful for you to take the provincial examination. Come! Go to the study brother-in-law to take the exam. you."

Li Qing pointed at Zhou Jia and lamented, "Brother-in-law, you are avenging a private revenge."

Li Yu took Mrs. Liu to make dumplings in the kitchen, Li Qing was busy writing in the study, Zhou Jia took Ruyi to the front office and called Mr. Qian and Tu Dianshi, and said with a smile: "Yu County When the lieutenant came, the security of the county was handed over to him. It was almost late spring and early summer. I planned to build the county school from scratch. It would still be built at the old location outside Dongcheng. I have asked Qingzhou Prefecture to assign the county school to our county. A knowledgeable lecturer is here. Once the government office has found someone, our county school will be almost completed and we will start recruiting students! What do you think, Mr. Tu?"

After hearing this, Tu Dianshi stood up excitedly, "Sir, our county has not produced a scholar for more than ten years. It is really embarrassing to say that! After the two bandits were wiped out, many villagers have fled this year. Returning to the hometown with rich families! You proposed to rebuild the county school, and I think it is the right thing to do. We will build the school in the first half of the year, and in the second half of the year, we will be able to recruit students! "

As Tu Dianshi spoke, a surge of pride suddenly arose in his heart, "Sir, even if the state government doesn't send us an edict, we can all take turns teaching! Lao Qian's knowledge is very good. Although I am not talented, You can also contribute to the county school, and you, sir, but with a high-level Jinshi background, can't you run a county school? In a few years, our Qingchuan County will educate several talented people!"

Mr. Qian also clapped his hands in agreement: "Okay, Mr. Tu has spoken to my heart. When the time comes, I will also contribute to the county school!"

Zhou Jia looked at the few people and smiled and said: "That is not a long-term solution. I plan to send people to the state capital to invite a few scholars to come over. Everyone agrees, and we will start preparations. If you wish, you can go and build the county government in the afternoon. Hire the craftsmen, calculate the cost of the materials, and we will start construction tomorrow."

"Okay, just as the adults said, I get hungry so fast. I seem to smell the aroma of dumplings," Tu Dianshi stood up cheerfully, "Hey! Madam's dumplings are ready, I'm going to eat them." .”

Mr. Qian watched Tu Dian run away staggeringly, and said with a smile: "It seems that Mr. Tu is no longer planning to open fire, and wants to live together in the adults' house."
