Once the Lantern Festival is over, the New Year is officially over.

After Shen Wanshan left, the food store business was completely handed over to Lin Weizhong.

Lin Weizhong goes out early and comes back late every day to handle business. He has trained several subordinates for himself. There are young men at home who do not want to study and take the imperial examinations and like to do business. Lin Weizhong is also happy to teach them.

In addition to He Yuanhua, there were six other boys in He Yuanhua's group. The older ones were about thirteen or fourteen years old. After being brought to the provincial capital, they attended classes with their family's children.

However, the classes were not based on the imperial examination system. Some of them really liked the accounting taught by Liu Caixia and others, and they had talent for it. Father Liu did not force everyone to take the imperial examination to have a bright future. Those children who were willing to learn a craft would be sent to learn a craft, and those who wanted to do business would follow Lin Weizhong to do business.

Lin Weizhong took the two little boys to get to know the food shops in the provincial capital first, and then visited the surrounding county towns.

Nowadays, Zhencai Fast Food Shop is also well-known in various towns in southern Zhongzhou.

Of course, it is because of Shen Wanshan’s previous foundation that the fast food shop has developed so well.

Liu's father was going to build a school at home.

There is no snow accumulation in their place in winter. The snow only lasts for a day or two, and construction can start after it thaws.

Father Liu found the village chiefs of two nearby villages and told them that they were going to start building houses.

The two village heads were very excited and pulled Father Liu to confirm: "Master Liu, what you said is true. This is good news for the villagers. Now every household has not started spring ploughing, so there is plenty of time."

The two village chiefs were very surprised. They thought that the Liu family would bring some benefits to the village this year, but they didn't expect it to come so soon.

Building a school is also a great thing for the two villages. The children in these two villages basically have no education. Those who occasionally go to school have a hard time because they have to go to the school in the town, which is expensive and long.

After the school was built and the village was opened, Liu's farm still had a lot of land, and later they bought such a large barren mountain. Although there were many people in their family, it was definitely not enough. Wouldn't they have to hire people from the village to fill the shortage?

The two village chiefs have a long-term vision. As long as the Liu family develops well, the people in their village will basically have more work to do every year and they don’t have to work hard to compete for work in the city.

Village Chief Ma: "Master Liu, how many people do you need first? What are your requirements? We will allocate the number of people and go back to find them for you. They are definitely capable of doing the work in the village."

Father Liu: "It's just like building a house at home. The people who came to work before were all good and can continue to come. But I have hired a group of carpenters in the city before. If there are good carpenters in the village who are willing to work, they can also sign up. I will not go to the city to invite the previous group of people."

Village Chief Lu: "Carpentry is OK. Carpenter Tan's family in our village is recognized as a good craftsman by the surrounding villages. They can prepare all the wood needed to build a house. They can also make large furniture according to needs!"

Village Chief Ma: "Ma Youtian from our village is also good. Although he is not as capable as Carpenter Tan's family, he is not bad either, especially when it comes to making some commonly used furniture. The quality is guaranteed."

Father Liu: "Okay, then Carpenter Tan and his family will come to build the house. I will take out some furniture style drawings and let them make the furniture at home. We will divide the work and cooperate. As for the price, I will trouble the two village chiefs to help negotiate it. According to the market price, I will not treat them unfairly, and they can't make us the scapegoat."

The two village chiefs nodded heavily and assured: "Of course, of course, don't worry."

Father Liu: "After I have the manpower in place, I would like to invite two village heads to help me as construction workers, and pay them two taels of silver a month. It will be convenient for you to manage the people in the village. I hope the school will be built as soon as possible. After it is built, I will arrange other things so that they will not be left without work. You can't drag your feet and slack off."

The two village heads were already overjoyed and went back to the village happily to make arrangements.

The next day, the two men each brought a group of people over. They had agreed that there would be twenty people from each village, for a total of forty people, which was fair and just.

The two village heads also explained the interests involved. The workshops and breeding farms built by the Liu family before, as well as the food workshop that had started operation years ago, will recruit people plenty of times in the future. As long as you do your job well, there will be opportunities in the future.

Once Liujia Village develops, it may not be able to support the people of the two villages. Maybe it will become a famous wealthy village in the provincial capital in the future.

However, the name Liujia Village was chosen by the two of them privately, and I don’t know what name they gave the village when they registered it in the provincial capital?

If the villagers make money, they can help the young men in the village get married and have children. If the village has more and more people and develops better, the village chief can stay in office for a long time.

Although they don't get paid, they can get a lot of food subsidies every year. At the end of the year, the town will still give these village heads some New Year gifts as rewards. If the village develops well, the taxes paid are good, and there are no people starving or freezing to death, the village will give extra rewards.

Not to mention that they can get a lot of benefits in normal times. In short, it's good for everyone, and they are not the kind of people who enrich themselves by exploiting the villagers.

Liu's father asked Liu Xiaolu to draw a design. The school was divided into the front yard and the back yard. The front yard was for male students, and the back yard was for female students.

Two different courtyards, the same design, nine classrooms in a row, each classroom accommodating 40 to 50 people, two toilets, a kitchen and a dining hall.

There are nine classrooms and nine years of compulsory education, from grade one to grade nine. The school here does not focus on the imperial examination. For students who want to take the imperial examination, after graduation they can go to the provincial capital or other colleges that focus more on the imperial examination to continue their studies.

The college has also designed a handicraft classroom and some other craft classrooms, as well as a martial arts field. The daily course schedule is also relatively reasonable. In addition to reading, there are also handicraft classes and physical education classes.

In fact, some of their colleges also have courses such as music, chess, calligraphy, painting, riding and archery, but not every college has them. Those larger colleges only recruit powerful and influential people.

It is already difficult for ordinary people to study, and learning other things is too expensive and unaffordable.

Two student dormitories are designed behind the school. Students from nearby villages or further away who cannot go home every day can apply to live in the dormitories. The dormitories only charge a symbolic management fee.

There are four-person, six-person and eight-person dormitories. The fees will definitely be different for different numbers of people. If their college becomes famous and some students come here to study, the college also needs to make a profit.

Once a teacher, always a father.

At this time, respecting teachers is a very important virtue for a person.

No matter the teachers in the college teach knowledge or skills, as disciples, we always have to show some respect to our masters during the holidays every year.

This will benefit teachers and help them teach students better.

A steady stream of blue bricks and tiles were transported to the square one after another. After the foundation was laid, the main structure began to be built.

The workers are busy every day.
