The First National Preceptor of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 646

Moreover, a large portion of these people have already been replaced by him.

Those who had a good relationship with the county magistrate but committed evil deeds against the people have often been demoted.

Xu Tianwei and the villagers arrived at the scene of the banquet.

"Lord Xu, please don't find this offensive! It's just a small token of our appreciation. We've tried to give you things, but you won't accept them. This is all we can do."

The person talking to Xu Tian was the village chief.

The village chief looked to be about fifty or sixty years old, and spoke with a knowledgeable and reasonable manner.

Xu Tian glanced at their continuous banquet.

Such banquets are usually only held when the village has a large feast.

Moreover, the village is currently facing a very tight economic situation.

The fact that they were able to put on such a continuous banquet is already the result of their best efforts.

Xu Tian was also deeply moved.

"We've troubled the villagers with their money; you mustn't do these things again."

The village chief knew that Xu Tian was a good official, and he was deeply moved by what Xu Tian said.

In addition to the previous efforts, we also tried to find places for the people to stay.

He even used his own money to provide porridge to the people.

They were all extremely grateful.

Halfway through the banquet, the village chief's face was already flushed from drinking.

"When a person gets old, they become useless at everything. Even holding two glasses of wine becomes a struggle."

The wine they're making is actually brewed by the villagers themselves.

It has a sweet taste.

Suddenly, several children darted out from among them. They were dressed in tattered clothes and came over to give Xu Tian some things.

When the village chief saw these children, he suddenly thought of the school and mentioned it to Xu Tian.

"It is said that talented people come from poor families, but the schools here are all dilapidated and the teachers are very old. It's pitiful that these children have no school to attend."

Hearing this, Xu Tian was also somewhat moved.

"Is there no school here?"

Look at those children who are dressed in tattered clothes but are very polite.

The village chief sighed and replied, "Where would we get the money to build a school? Some people can't even afford to eat."

Xu Tian frowned upon hearing the village chief's words.

"Even if we can't afford to eat, we must ensure that the children have access to education!"

He immediately decided to open a branch of the school here.

In this way, the children here will not have to worry about not having access to education.

Moreover, he will also reduce or waive the children's tuition fees.

After a meal, Xu Tian returned to the government office.

He relayed everything that was happening here to Li Er in detail.

Furthermore, he also conveyed to Li Er his intention to open a branch here.

When Li Er saw the letter sent back by Xu Tian, ​​he immediately sent Cheng Yaojin with silver to deliver it.

When the village chief heard that Xu Tian had opened a school here, he quickly told the villagers about it.

The villagers were even more excited when they heard this.

"This Lord Xu is a living bodhisattva! He not only solved the immediate crisis for the disaster victims, but also solved the future of the children."

After hearing about this, the people idolized Xu Tian as if he were a god.

If anyone speaks ill of Xu Tian, ​​they are ready to fight them to the death.

Xu Tian was handling a case in the county government office.

I took a look at the complaint.

"The disaster area has just been rebuilt, and everything is still incomplete. It is quite common for theft to occur now. However, to solve the fundamental problem, we must start from the root cause."

Xu Tian is handling a case involving the theft of property from a local gentry member.

Such cases are common; Xu Tian has already handled one or two.

The fundamental problem is still the hunger these people are experiencing due to the disaster.
