The construction of the private school was still done by the men of Yuxi Village themselves.

Over the past two years, I have built houses for the village several times. Even a novice has become an expert and it is easy.

Every day, the women and servants would deliver meals to the men and old men who were busy working in the threshing ground on time, and then go home together, laughing and chatting all the way.

Lin Dashan and Lin Erhe from the Lin family also became part of the labor force in building the private school.

Watching the private school he and everyone built together taking shape little by little and replacing the former threshing ground, Lin Dashan wiped the sweat from his forehead. He felt both regret and reluctance, and at the same time, he was filled with more joy and encouragement.

"I never thought that our village has changed so much in less than three years... Big brother, don't you think so?" During a break, the two brothers sat at the foot of the preserved big locust tree, and Lin Erhe expressed his feelings.

Lin Dashan smiled, unscrewed the water bag and drank some water, raising his chin forward, "It's all hope, isn't it?"

"That's right! Otherwise I wouldn't have come to do this job. Why don't I just stay at home and sleep in if I have such tiring time? Hey! Don't tell me, I built this private school with my own hands, and my son is studying in it. It's a beautiful thought."

"I think everyone thinks so, otherwise there wouldn't be so many people from other villages coming to help. At my age, this is all I can do for the rest of my life, but I hope my children can live better than me and be more capable than me. All parents in the world have the same heart."

Li Fugui and Wang Quan jumped down from the half-built earth wall and squeezed in to sit next to the two brothers.

These two have changed a lot.

She looked older two years ago, but now she looks younger.

"I have something to say about private school. My mother is such a stingy person, but this time she was so generous that I thought she was a different person."

The first thing Li Fugui did after taking a break was to take the water bag and drink water. He was very happy. "When the old village chief mentioned building a private school for free, she was the first one to agree. When he mentioned letting children from nearby and far away go to school without paying tuition, she was also the first one to agree. When he proposed that every household in the village pay a monthly salary to the hired teacher, she was also the first one to agree. I couldn't believe it. She was the one who couldn't finish the leftovers at home and was reluctant to throw them away until they went bad, but she donated ten taels of silver to the village treasury in one go."

Wang Quan laughed, "My mother and my wife are the same, they are willing to give up in this regard!"

A man who was too lazy to move sat on the wall to rest, listening to what they said, and said, "What's so strange? You look down on us Yuxi villagers, don't you? There's a saying, when you are rich, you should help the world! We used to live a hard life, but now we have survived thanks to the Hundred-Angel Grass. I won't exaggerate, but every household has saved at least a hundred taels of silver. It's certainly not enough in front of the rich businessmen, but for ordinary people like us, it can ensure that the whole family has no worries about food and drink. Give the children some money, can you still be stingy?"

"That's right. Apart from other things, the emperor has praised our Yuxi Village. He gave us a stone tablet, a drum for appealing for justice, the nickname of the hometown of spiritual herbs, and a plaque for the family of great kindness... How can we live up to the emperor's grace?"

The busy people all smiled, felt comfortable and proud.

Putting aside the divine grace, just focus on the present.

Not to mention that every household has saved money now, the gentiana in the fields can continue to generate income for them in the next few years or even decades.

As long as there is no disaster from heaven, you will not be poor!

How can you be stingy when giving money to children?

When we were poor in the past, we would try our best to provide good things for our children.

Now that we are no longer poor, we strive to seek the best for all our children.

Same thing.

The people of Da Rui, for Da Rui!

What they do may not be significant in the eyes of the big shots, or may only affect one party, but that doesn't matter.

They did it with all their heart, and it was worth it if someone else could benefit from it.

Brothers Lin Dashan and Lin Erhe looked at each other, with satisfaction in their smiles.

In fact, there was a small episode before the private school was built in the village.

The old village chief came to ask about the location of their private school.

After discussing with his parents, Lin Dashan came to the unanimous opinion that the school should be located in the village and that they should find a way to make room for it.

Only Lin Dashan and half of the Lin family members know the real reason.

There is no other reason, because there is a lot of licorice growing in the village.

Children read and study in the fragrance of Baixiangcao, and even if they don’t drink Baixiangcao tea, they can still feel full of energy.

Not to mention the various benefits to the body from being surrounded by this fragrance for a long time.

Of course, I can’t just say these things to others casually.

While one party was chatting enthusiastically, on the path behind the threshing ground, a wheelchair was quietly parked next to an unknown vegetable garden.

The man on the chair was dressed in gorgeous clothes, his eyes slightly lowered as if thinking about something.

When the chattering not far away stopped and the men resumed their work, he turned his head and whispered to the attendant behind him, "Let's go."

Going to Yan's house, the path is lined with vegetable gardens or farmyard walls on both sides.

The sudden drop in cold air after the beginning of winter permeates the mixed fragrance of herbs, soil, and vegetable gardens, and it seems to have warmth.

Yuxi Village...

Is this why the emperor praised her so highly and why Chang Qing was obsessed with her...

The bustling October has passed quietly, and the mid-winter chill is even stronger, but the lively atmosphere still continues.

This winter in Yuxi Village and even Wutong Town is hot.

Wutong Academy was built on Shennv Mountain.

A new private school was built on the threshing ground in Yuxi Village.

Joy seeps into the cold winter and sows hope.

Town Yamen, Back Yamen.

Yang Fu has been living a more and more comfortable life in the past two years. As he is more comfortable, he has become fatter.

When sitting in an armchair wearing a jacket, you have to pull yourself out by holding the armrests when you stand up.

"Sir, the head of Yuxi Village has just sent us a list of private school teachers. There are more than 20 students from all over the country who have come to take up the job, including three old scholars." The chief clerk Le Diandian presented the list, "Here it is, for your review."

Yang Fu took the list and glanced at it. "What do you need to review? In Yuxi Village, there is an old general of the dynasty, the only prince of our dynasty, and the tutor personally invited by the emperor to teach His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. They can decide on these. I am just going through the motions."

Putting down the list, Yang Fu couldn't stop smiling, "Go pick a hundred sets of desks and send them to the private school later, as a token of my appreciation. Life like this is so comfortable, so comfortable, hahaha!"

The chief clerk laughed along and was truly happy.

Can you be unhappy?

Ever since Yuxi Village started to prosper, people have found everything worry-free.

The herb baixiangcao in the village cured the people of their diseases after the flood.

He made friends with wealthy businessmen in Yuanzhou and built two large workshops in Wutong Town, which solved the difficult livelihood problems of the local people and restored the economy of Wutong Town.

Anxinyuan, which takes in helpless elderly and children, has greatly added to the good reputation of Wutong Town, bringing its fame and reputation to a higher level.

Now we not only have a college, but also a private school that provides free education for children!

Political achievements!

Each of these is a political achievement!

Delivered to your door!

How can I not feel comfortable?

The last time local officials held a private banquet, the governors of other towns and even Magistrate Fang of Ma County were all jealous when they mentioned the current fortune of Wutong Town.

Who could have thought that one day, the position guarded by Wutong Town would become a piece of fat meat?

Yuxi Village should take the first credit!
