The whole family traveled through time and became doctors, raised children and farmed in ancient tim

After some renovation and decoration, the old ancestral hall now looks a bit like a study. There are rows of tables and chairs in the hall. Although they are rather worn, the tabletops are wiped clean and have a faint luster under the sunlight.

Xie Lan sat in the chair at the front. He was the one teaching the first class of the day. Facing such a large group of people, he was still a little nervous.

However, yesterday, Xie Songlin specially called Xie Lan and Xie Yuan to his side and carefully explained the general arrangement to them. Each of them would read a book. The main purpose was to educate everyone so that they could recognize some basic characters and learn simple reading and writing. With the current level of knowledge he and Xie Yuan had, they had no problem completing such a task.

Xie Lan had just sat down in his chair and hadn't had time to say anything when a burst of chattering and shouting came from the audience.

"Brother Lan!"

"Big brother, are you Xie Lin's big brother?"

"Xie Lin's elder brother is so awesome!"

Xie Lan's original nervousness was slightly relieved. He couldn't help but smile and waved to everyone, signaling them to calm down. Xie Yuan and Xie Lin were helping to distribute books. The number of copied books was limited at present. After all, the preparation time was not sufficient and the manpower was limited. It was impossible to ensure that everyone had a book, so they could only arrange for two or three people to read one book together.

Xie Lan's eyes swept gently yet firmly over the audience, a shy smile on his face. He cleared his throat and tried to make his voice sound more steady. "Hello everyone, I'm Xie Lan. From now on, I'll be teaching you the Thousand Character Classic. The main purpose is to help you learn to recognize characters and read and write. I'll try to explain it in as much detail as possible. If there's anything you don't understand, feel free to ask me after class."

Xie Lan opened the first page. What he held in his hand was the book that Xie Songlin had bought for them. He had taken classes with Shen Yuxi at the time and had written a lot of annotations on it. Naturally, he took all the books with him when he packed his luggage.

Xie Lan stood on the podium, looking at the audience with a gentle and encouraging gaze. He raised his voice and said, "Let's recite the first four lines together first. Everyone, repeat after me. The sky and earth are dark and yellow, the universe is vast and boundless. The sun and moon wax and wane, the stars and constellations are lined up."

The people in the audience also started to speak up. For a moment, all kinds of voices intertwined together. Among them, the voices of Xie Lin and others were particularly loud. They sat at the back and read loudly at the top of their lungs. They came here specifically to support their eldest brother, so they read with extra vigor. Every word was pronounced clearly and with full energy.

However, even without Xie Lin and the others' enthusiastic support, the voices of others were no less impressive. The children all looked up with their rosy little faces, their eyes sparkling, and read along loudly in their childish voices.

Although Xie Lan's teaching method was still a little immature and not as comfortable as those experienced teachers, he was very familiar with the "Thousand Character Classic". After all, this was the first book he learned. When he took classes with Shen Yuxi, he studied very seriously.

He has repeatedly pondered and carefully considered the pronunciation and meaning of each word, the interpretation of each sentence, and the principles behind it. The densely packed annotations on the pages of the book are the best proof of his serious study, so it is relatively easy for him to talk about the contents of the book at this moment.

Today's first class went relatively smoothly. Since the class started in the afternoon, only Xie Lan gave a lecture. The formal classes will start from tomorrow.

Xie Lan and Xie Yuan discussed it and decided that they would each be responsible for a class in the morning and afternoon. Xie Lan would teach "Thousand Character Classic" and Xie Yuan would teach "Three Character Classic".

After school, the children who came to class were still very excited. They went home in groups of two or three, and all the way they kept muttering what they had learned in class today. Some even picked up some branches on the roadside and started practicing writing on the mud.

The village was unprecedentedly lively today. Not only were the children excitedly discussing the content of the class, but the adults were also discussing Xie Songlin's proposal today to have everyone wholesale cakes to sell. Many people went straight to the home of the village head, Uncle Lin. The small house was suddenly crowded with people. Everyone talked about their opinions and concerns, and the atmosphere was both warm and somewhat solemn.

As the village head, Uncle Lin had always been a trusted pillar of support. He sat on the old wooden chair in the middle of the room, listening to everyone's chatter. His gaze swept through the crowd, finally landing on Lin Jian. He asked in a somewhat inquiring tone, "Old Fourth, did you already know about what happened today?"

Lin Jian nodded and said, "Yes, I knew it when Brother Songlin told me yesterday."

"What are your plans?"

Lin Jian said, "Dad, I think this is a good idea. I think everyone has tried this cake today, right? It's really delicious. I don't think even the other well-known bakeries in town can compare to this. So if we want to sell this cake, we'll definitely be able to sell it. He gave us six cents a piece and priced it at eight cents. The account is clear. As long as we sell one, we can earn two cents."

Someone nearby got a little excited when he heard this: "If I sell one dollar, I can earn two cents? Then if I sell two more dollars, wouldn't that be..."

"Yeah, if we can sell dozens of dollars a day, that would be amazing." Another person also shouted, his voice trembling slightly with excitement.

"But is it really that easy to sell? The people in this town are very picky."

"This cake tastes so good, what are you afraid of! It will definitely work." The man who was excited earlier patted his chest and guaranteed. His confident look seemed to be able to dispel all doubts.

Uncle Lin placed his hands on the armrests of the old wooden chair, tapping his fingers lightly, making a rhythmic tapping sound. He frowned slightly and looked at Lin Jian and asked, "Although it seems profitable, there are only a few people in our village who have done business besides you. Where can they sell cakes at this time?"

Lin Jian raised his head slightly, looked at Uncle Lin with a firm gaze and said, "Dad, if you don't know how to do business, you can learn. Look at the boys in the village, even the girls went to school to learn to read today. After getting to know them for a while, I think Brother Songlin and his family are really good."

"Everyone's life is really hard these days. I think this opportunity, Brother Songlin, is an opportunity for all of us. Even if we can only make a little more money, it can make life a little better for everyone. There are so many people in our village, and although it's difficult to do business, as long as there's someone to take the lead, everyone will definitely be able to figure it out. I can take everyone to town and sell door-to-door. People always come up with solutions. As long as we work together, this thing will definitely succeed."

Lin Jian's voice was steady and powerful, and everyone's originally hesitant eyes gradually became more determined.
