A time-travel story of a peasant girl getting rich
Chapter 187: Using both kindness and force, drawing big cakes but losing people
When the clan leader trembled and took out a thousand taels of silver from his arms, everyone's eyes widened! It was actually a thousand taels. Lin Dashan actually donated a thousand taels to the clan to build a school. Wow, this is really a big deal!
So, will their children really be able to go to school in the future? Not only is the school in their own village, but they still don’t have to pay tuition!
The clan leader talked about building a school. "Don't worry, Uncle Clan Leader. This is a school for our children. We must build it. Once the land is marked out, we will dig the foundation."
"That's right, this is nothing. Ren Dashan has spent so much money, and we can't even help!"
"Chief, if you need help, just call us anytime. We are all waiting!"
"That's right, whoever doesn't have the strength, it's their own business, and I have to build the house for you!"
Everyone was talking at once, and the mood was high. They were just waiting for the plot of land to be marked out, and construction could start immediately after the order was given. It was like building a house for themselves, so how could they not be enthusiastic?
The clan leader nodded with satisfaction. He was quite sensible and not the kind of person who just kept asking for things.
The other villagers who were watching the fun looked at the Lin family with envy. They also wanted their children to go to school. They were all from the same village, so why did they have to pay half of the tuition? They envied the Lin family!
After all the clan members had left, the village head, the third uncle, and the clan leader got together and began to discuss which plot of land to use.
"Since this is a major event that benefits the whole village, it can't be just the Lin family doing the work. When the school is built, every household in the village must send a man to help, otherwise, half of the discount will be cancelled. And the Lin family, except for the widows and widows, and those with insufficient population, must send two men to work. Whoever doesn't come will be disqualified from the discount. You are not willing to contribute at all, but just want to take advantage. You really think it's pie in the sky."
"Let's make it this way first. When the school is completed, we will open the ancestral hall to comfort our ancestors and thank the mountains!" After the third uncle made the rules, he left tremblingly.
They can handle the rest. He is too old to do it any more.
After Lin Dachuan went home and told the whole story, Old Man Lin remained silent for a long time.
The whole family was speechless and silent for a rare moment.
One thousand taels...
The head of the village acted quickly and the next day he planned out 15 acres of land for building a school.
The villagers took up their hoes and started digging the foundation.
Half of it is not a small amount of money. Besides, it is close to home, saving the need for transportation. It is very convenient. I heard that books can be borrowed and read without buying. They didn't know how expensive books are. But after Yang told them a few years ago about the price of a primer for his child, they realized that the biggest expense of reading is not tuition, but books, paper, and ink.
Under such conditions, if they still don’t come to help, are they still human beings?
The whole village was out in force, working in full swing. Even the most cunning and sly people, the few rogues, spared no effort. They had to build a school for their children and grandchildren.
Xianshan Villa.
Nearly a hundred young people stood in front of Lin Xiaomi, trembling with fear.
The village head selected them yesterday and asked them to come here to serve the new master. As for how to serve, he did not tell them in detail, only asking them to be careful and obedient.
The new master looked young. He stood in front with a stern face, looking scarier than the village head.
They all lowered their heads like quails, not daring to look directly at Lin Xiaomi.
"You are the first group of people I have chosen to follow me. Since you are all from the Marquis' Mansion, you should also be aware of my engagement with your prince. In the future, I will not be able to stay in the inner house, so I plan to train you to be my right-hand men and help me look after the shops outside. Here, someone will teach you how to read and write, and do math and accounting."
Everyone looked up suddenly. The young lady asked them to come here to learn to read and write? They were just the lowest servants, and their families had been illiterate for generations. How could they be so lucky to have caught the young lady's eye and be valued by her in the future?
"We young men will study hard and serve the young lady as soon as possible!"
A group of people knelt down to thank the master. All the fear before coming here turned into ecstasy. In the manor, one can only dig for food in the soil for one's whole life and the next life, and live a hard life. All they can do is follow the master, although they are also slaves, the difference is not ordinary.
Moreover, the master wanted to find someone to teach them how to read. In the village, only the village head could read. They were in luck!
This opportunity can be said to be the only chance for them to change their destiny in this life. They must seize it. As long as they don’t die from learning, they must learn until they die.
They were young and competitive, and they were all ready to fight. If the village head knew, he would definitely regret it. They didn't know why they came here, and they didn't even send their relatives.
"My people must be capable, intelligent, and loyal. They can have some small thoughts, but they must not have evil intentions. If I find someone who is disloyal, the whole family will be sold out." Lin Xiaomi stared at them seriously and spoke in a loud voice.
"The little ones don't dare!"
"Girls, learn to make dim sum with the cook tomorrow. I plan to open a dim sum shop in the county. If the food is good, I will open a branch shop and you will be the chefs of the branch shops in the future."
He glanced at the people on the ground and said: "Whether you are a man or a woman, follow me and I will not treat you unfairly. I will eat meat and you will definitely have soup."
She still knows that he is using both kindness and force, and making big promises but failing to get what he wants.
Hope these people don't disappoint her.
