After traveling through time, I led the whole village to become rich!

Chapter 108: Even the way you walk can reveal the secrets

Zhang Hulan replied: "If I say that I want to learn advanced knowledge, spread knowledge, and become a great scholar in the future, that's too fake.

Sending children to school is nothing more than to help them gain some knowledge and learn some words so that they won't be deceived.

It would be better if they had a talent for reading and could make something of it.

No one wants their children to be like them, working in the fields all their lives.

As parents and elders, we all hope that our younger generations can achieve success.”

"Yeah, that's right, very practical." Fu Xiyang nodded more deeply this time. He said, "Unlike some people, who think that sending their children to school means they want them to become officials in the future. There are tens of thousands of scholars in the world, but how many of them can become officials? If it were so easy to become an official, wouldn't the whole world be full of officials?"

"Master Fushan is right. We should be down-to-earth and self-aware. Most people in this world are ordinary people, so we should acknowledge our ordinariness."

Fu Xiyang looked at Zhang Hulan in surprise. He didn't expect that the village woman in front of him had such insight.

Fu Xiyang put down the book in her hand, her eyes filled with admiration. "You are quite insightful, woman. Bring your child here. If your child is as smart and insightful as you, he might be a talented person with great potential."

Zhang Hulan quickly thanked him, "Thank you, Headmaster Fushan! I won't be able to study for many days before the New Year, so is it okay for me to bring the children here after the New Year?"

Fu Xiyang nodded slightly, "Yes!"

Zhang Hulan then asked, "Excuse me, Headmaster, how much silver does this Shuxiu cost per month?"

Fu Xiyang said, "The tuition for the introductory class is 300 wen a month. If you stay at the academy for board and lodging, it's an additional 300 wen. We have one day off at the middle and end of each month."

Zhang Hulan thanked him again and left.

Watching Zhang Hulan's departing figure, Fu Xiyang couldn't help but sigh. It was rare for a village woman to have such a clear mind.

How many people in this world study for reasons other than fame and fortune? Those who study are not pure in their pursuit of fame and fortune...

When Zhang Hulan came out from Fu Xiyang's place and arrived at the gate of the academy, she found that Luo Changqi and the doorman were chatting animatedly. It turned out that the doorman was also a retired veteran.

The doorman is older than Luo Changqi and joined the army earlier than Luo Changqi.

Seeing Zhang Hulan come out, Luo Changqi ended his conversation with the doorman and said goodbye.

After leaving the academy, Zhang Hulan and Luo Changqi went to the brokerage shop, where the broker greeted them warmly. "Madam, what kind of servant do you want to buy?"

Zhang Hulan said, "Buy a few honest and hardworking servants."

The pawnbroker nodded quickly. "Don't worry, ma'am. The servants in our pawnbrokerage are carefully selected and guaranteed to be honest and reliable. I'll introduce a few to you right away."

The broker brought out ten servants for Zhang Hulan to choose from. Zhang Hulan handed the task of selecting the servants to Luo Changqi.

Luo Changqi said, "We need a lot of people. Bring out all the servants from your pawnshop."

The brothel's eyes lit up. The two people dressed in ordinary clothes were considered big customers.

The pawnbroker immediately brought out all the servants of the pawnbroking shop, hundreds of them in total.

Luo Changqi asked the broker about the situations of those people, then carefully observed their words and actions, and finally selected only twenty young and strong ones.

When Zhang Hulan saw that Luo Changqiquan only chose men, she felt that this was not a good idea and that a better combination of men and women should be chosen.

Zhang Hulan said, "Uncle Luo, please pick some more women."

Luo Changqi asked, "Do you need maids and servants who can serve you?"

Zhang Hulan shook her head. "We don't need maids or servants for now. Let's find someone to do the work first. The work of raising livestock is not hard, and women can do it."

Luo Changqi nodded, and then selected fifteen more women.

The price for men was higher, five taels of silver per person, while the price for women was slightly lower, only four taels.

Zhang Hulan sighed that these people were not even worth a good cow.

Of course, these people were just ordinary servants without any special skills.

If the person has some skills or can read, the price will be higher. If the person is young and good-looking, the price will also be higher, sometimes more than ten or twenty taels.

He bought thirty-five servants at once. Luo Changqi bargained with the broker and ended up paying one hundred coins less for each servant.

Zhang Hulan paid the silver and waited for the servants to get their belongings, then left the pawnshop with the thirty-five servants.

Zhang Hulan meant to find an ox cart to take the servants back to the village. The distance was not short and it would take a long time to walk back.

Luo Changqi shook his head at Zhang Hulan and said that he would let the servants go back just to see if there were any disobedient people among them.

Luo Changqi whispered, "Niece, don't underestimate this as just a short walk.

A person's personality and behavior habits can be roughly judged from his walking posture.

Some people leave in an honest and well-behaved manner. Such people may seem dull, but they are the easiest to manage.

If you say go east, they go east. If you say go west, they go west.

Some people walk casually, carelessly, or look around.

Such people are thoughtful, rebellious and dishonest, and are the focus of attention.

It doesn’t matter if there is no bad intention, but what I am afraid of is people with evil intentions.

It's impossible to judge what kind of person he is based on just a few words.

They basically pretend to be something in front of others, but you have to judge a person by their words and actions behind their backs."

After listening to Luo Changqi's words, Zhang Hulan secretly admired him.

People who have served in the military are different. They can see so many things just by walking.

The servants walked towards the village, and Zhang Hulan and Luo Changqi followed slowly behind them driving the donkey cart.
