Transmigrated into a female county magistrate during a famine, leading her country to prosperity

But the fact that a scholar has no official title does not mean that he does not have his own unique qualities. The children's enlightenment class in Tongan County has a low starting point, so the requirements for the teacher will naturally not be too high.

It is enough for a teacher to have sufficient knowledge, but the most important thing is to have a heart that loves children.

It was already dark at this time. After Yu Zhengqing left, Shen Zheng sat in the study for a long time. She was pondering Mr. Qimeng's recruitment standards in her mind. At the same time, a doubt came to her mind.

Nowadays, all the children and scholars in the county have been taken care of, but there is still a group of people stuck in the middle, which seems a bit out of place.

That is illiterate adults.

People like this are now in an awkward situation.

Children start learning from a young age, so they can at least learn to read in the future. It goes without saying that it is even more so for scholars. On the contrary, it is those who have no ambition to take the imperial examinations and are past the age of enlightenment classes.

It would be fine if they themselves don't want to learn to read and write, but if they do, it would not be a good idea to put them together with children or scholars.

Shen Zheng felt a headache when she thought of this, and reflected that she was still not comprehensive enough in handling things, and there was still a lot to learn in the future.

Now it seems that we should first establish the enlightenment class and the county school, and then discuss it with Li Hongmao.

After all, he is the principal of the county school, and he has to help with studying.

......

Nanba Village.

After Zhou Lizheng simply washed up, he sneaked into the room and took off his shoes stealthily.

Just as he was about to go to bed, someone grabbed his ears.

"Ah!!!! Mmmm!" The darkness itself can increase people's fear. Aunt Zhou's behavior directly frightened Zhou Lizheng out of his wits.

"Yell, yell, yell! How dare you stay out all night with your guts? Tell me, where have you been?"

Mrs. Zhou was afraid that he would wake the child, so she covered his mouth with her hand and scolded him.

After dinner today, she went for a walk in the fields, but when she returned home she couldn't find her child. She didn't dare to go out to look for him, so she left the child alone at home and had to wait until late at night.

Zhou Lizheng rubbed his ears in pain and praised: "Mother, your strength has improved a lot recently. You are really a heroine in Nanba Village!"

Aunt Zhou slapped him on the head when she heard this. "Your strength is improving, right? Then try it a few more times, and I'll talk to you about it later!"

"I'm wrong, I'm wrong, wife!" Zhou Lizheng quickly begged for mercy and held Aunt Zhou's hand. Before Aunt Zhou got angry, he said mysteriously:

"Great news, great news!"

"Why does this sound so familiar?" Aunt Zhou frowned in the dark night, and after a moment her eyes lit up, "Could it be that Lord Shen has made a new move?!"

Now it was Zhou Lizheng who frowned. He said unconfidently, "Wife, can you listen to my heart?"

Aunt Zhou sneered: "As soon as you lifted your butt, I knew you were going to fart. You were suddenly away today, how could I not know that you went to the county government office?"

Zhou Lizheng took a deep breath and screamed: "Then why did you pull my ears so hard just now!"

Aunt Zhou frowned, "I want to! It's one thing for me to guess it, but it's another thing for you to say it or not! If this happens again in the future, tell Grandma Luo in advance so that I don't have to worry."

Zhou Lizheng felt as if a warm current was flowing through his heart, and said softly: "I understand, I will tell you next time, so that you won't worry."

He smiled secretly in the dark. His wife is always like this, with a sharp tongue but a soft heart. She cares about others but is too embarrassed to say it directly.

Aunt Zhou turned her head aside and asked, "What did the master say?"

Zhou Lizheng reached out and turned her head back, and said word by word: "Qi, Meng, Ban."

"What enlightenment class?"

"Children's enlightenment classes, all children of the right age in the county can go to learn to read and write, and our children can too!"

Zhou Lizheng originally wanted to act sophisticated, but this matter was so good that he couldn't stop getting excited as soon as he said it.

"Hiss! But is it true?!" Aunt Zhou didn't care whether she would wake the child up and screamed out loud.

"What are you asking? When has Lord Shen ever deceived us?" Seeing that she didn't believe him, Zhou Lizheng directly brought Shen Zheng out, because he knew that Lord Shen held a very important position in his wife's heart.

Sure enough, after hearing this, Aunt Zhou stopped talking.

Zhou Lizheng felt something was wrong and reached out to touch her. "Are you happy and stupid?"

After a while, the sobbing of Aunt Zhou was heard in the darkness. She seemed to be trying hard to suppress it, but the unstoppable sobbing made Zhou Lizheng feel very distressed.

He quickly stepped forward and held Aunt Zhou in his arms, "This is a good thing, why are you crying!"

He seemed to have forgotten that today in the county government office, his reaction was exactly the same as Aunt Zhou's.

Aunt Zhou bit her lip, but still couldn't stop crying, she sobbed and said, "I'm just... so happy, I... didn't expect that our child could... also go to school. In the past... I, I didn't dare to dream about it..."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Lizheng's eyes were filled with tears.

It is true that he is a village head, but the villagers chose him as the village head because he is the nephew of the old village head and knows a few words, so the old village head is willing to teach him.

But since his father passed away two years ago and his mother became seriously ill, the Zhou family has been getting worse day by day.

His mother suffered from a disease caused by affluence and had to take medicine to stay alive. He remembered clearly that his wife pawned her silver hairpin as a dowry without saying a word and used the money to buy medicine for his mother.

But that is a disease of affluence, and it cannot be cured by taking medicine, so even if they emptied the family savings, they could not save my mother's life, and in the end they lost both their money and their lives.

But his wife never complained about anything. Instead, she became more diligent. Wherever there was a household that needed help or wherever there was odd jobs to be done, his wife would run faster than anyone else.

She didn't say anything, and he didn't have the face to ask, so he just worked with her in silence.

He knew that his wife was holding back her anger. She wanted to save money and send her children to school.

Today, her wish came true, thanks to Lord Shen.

How can I not be happy?

Zhou Lizheng held her tightly in his arms, just like when they first got married, and coaxed her softly, "It's all in the past. Lord Shen said that as long as the children attend the enlightenment class, they will have a bright future!"

"Yeah!" Aunt Zhou nodded randomly in his arms and wiped her nose.

The two of them fell asleep in each other's arms. In a trance, Zhou Lizheng seemed to hear a whisper: "May Lord Shen have a smooth life."

......

The next morning, sunlight poured into the Tongan County Government Office.

"Heh! Ha! Hum!"

As soon as Shen Zheng walked out of the room, she heard the sound coming from the yard. It was the unshakable morning exercise of the constables.

She originally wanted to go to the book office to find Chief Clerk Xu to draft the notice, but suddenly she thought of something and changed direction instead, walking towards the detectives.
