Uncle Lin publicized the fact that Lin Dabao passed the Tongsheng exam. Almost the entire Lin Family Village knew about it before lunch.

At the same time, the main house was going to hold a big banquet to celebrate Lin Dabao's childbirth, and the news spread throughout the village, and the time was set at noon the day after tomorrow.

In order to show off, the main house asked Uncle Lin to visit the Lin family and told them to be there on time.

When the Lin family moved to a new house, the main house came over to drink the moving wine not only during the lunch time, but also empty-handed, without any congratulatory gifts.

After Uncle Lin left, Li Xiu thought of this incident, and felt a little blocked, not only him, Lin Chengzu and Lin Xiazhi also felt uncomfortable when thinking of this incident.

Anyway, Uncle Lin and Huzi Lin are blood brothers, so it makes no sense for their second uncle's family not to congratulate Lin Dabao on Tongsheng.Lin Xiazhi still prepared a nice-looking gift and brought it with her when the time came.

It took a whole day to prepare for the main house. Some people used to draw a line with them when they saw that the main house of the Lin family seemed to be going down. Now that Lin Dabao was a child in No. [-] middle school, they licked their faces to help.

The table, stools, bowls and chopsticks were offered to be lent to the main house of the Lin family, and the temporary stove was also helped to build. Lin Lao Yao and Liu Chunhua were naturally rude to be ordered, and it was funny to look at their high-spirited looks.

The day of the banquet in the main house of the Lin family came soon. It was just a banquet for children. The borrowed tables almost filled the space in the main house of the Lin family and the old house of the Lin family. There were twenty tables, which meant that almost everyone in the village Everyone was invited, but only one from each family.

The Erfang family didn't come to help early, but sat at the table set up in the main house half an hour earlier, because they prepared a decent gift, it was rare for Lin Lao Yao not to show embarrassment to them in his sweet days.

Old man Lin thought that Erfang must know that he was wrong, and his face has improved a lot.

Of course, this congratulatory gift is only very decent in the eyes of the villagers, and it is not a real good relationship. Lin Xiazhi will not let Qian prepare any good things.

Seeing Uncle Lin make such a big noise, Lin Xiazhi couldn't help but think that if it was revealed that Lin Dabao cheated one day, it would be a real embarrassment.

Because people are almost here, the seats are almost full at this time, and even if there are vacancies, the four members of the Lin family cannot be accommodated. Just when Lin Xiazhi was about to let the family members sit separately, Li Zheng beckoned them to go. Four places are being reserved for them.

Today is not a school break day, Lin Xiazhi did not ask Lin Chengzong to ask for leave, so there is still a seat at Lizheng's table.

"It's a great thing that Dabao has been admitted to Tongsheng, but I don't know if he can go further into the examination of scholar." Li Zheng looked at Uncle Lin's beaming look, and sighed, "The last one in the village who was admitted to Tongsheng was my family. Wen, I don’t know who will be next. If our village can have two more scholars, that would be a real good thing.”

In Jingguo, Lizheng's political achievements can only be counted if a village has a scholar. Tongsheng can only make the village's reputation better. The probability of being a scholar can also increase.

Take Weijia Village as an example, because there is a private school in their village, and the teacher is a scholar of Weijia Village, and the fees for the children in the village are lower, so Weijia Village is willing to send more children to study, and more children are born in Zhongtong. Many, in the past twenty years, several scholars have been successively tested.

"Li Zheng, I wonder if you still have any impression of what I told you before?" Lin Xiazhi said from the side.

"Huh?" Lin Xiazhi asked without thinking, but Lizheng was still a little unresponsive.

Because the people sitting at this table are the elders of the clan besides the Lin family and the Lizheng family, Lin Xiazhi said directly: "Doufang's half is red."

The elders of the Lizhenghe clan didn't understand what Lin Xiazhi meant at first, and they were a little confused when they were asked. Didn't they say that half of the dividends from Doufang were given to the village?

Fortunately, Li Zheng's mind turned quickly, and he quickly remembered what Lin Xiazhi said at that time.

"This workshop belongs to our village, so the village has to take half of the shares. The half of the achievements belong to the village. They can be used to buy sacrificial fields, maintain ancestral halls, build roads, and even build private schools for teachers if they earn enough money. Let the children in the village go to school for free, and knowledge can change their destiny. Maybe our village will produce many children and scholars in ten years."

Li Zheng slapped his head. Doufang has been in operation for two months since February. In February, he took 22 taels of silver and put it in the ancestral hall. In March, he distributed 4 taels of silver to the ancestral hall. It is expected that there will be more in April. This money can be used to build a private school and hire a master!

Seeing Lizheng's appearance, Lin Xiazhi thought of it, so he continued, "Think about it, sir, if the Lin family village had its own school, the village would pay most of the money needed to build the school and hire a teacher. With a small amount of money, you can send your children to school. Now that everyone has some money, they will definitely be willing to give their children the opportunity to read and write. At that time, some reward mechanisms will be set up. Reward some food or pens, inks, papers and inkstones every month to mobilize the children's enthusiasm for learning, and don't worry that there will be no children in the village, and there will naturally be talented people in a few years."

I have to say that Lin Xiazhi's words were very magical. Li Zheng was attracted by the prospect he outlined, as if he could see the officials who came to announce the good news, as well as the envious eyes of Zheng Zheng from other villages.

Not only Li Zheng, but the elders at the same table also looked excited, as if things had developed as Lin Xiazhi said.

Zhenghe and the clan elders were so absent-minded during this meal that they wished they could finish eating and go back immediately to discuss the matter of Gai Village School. If the matter of the school is done well, it will benefit future generations and have a stronger influence than Doufang.

No matter what, the bean farm is just a workshop, and it only brings money to the villagers. Only when the village produces talents and recruits, can the village be truly protected and the Lin family village develop well.

Lin Xiazhi also hopes that the Lin Family Village will get better and better. After all, it is unlikely that their family will move to other places in the short term. Even if they move in the future, the Lin Family Village is the root of the Lin Family. Only the people in the whole village are getting better and better. Only then can their family continue to live in peace and stability in Linjia Village. Moreover, Zong'er will be preparing for the imperial examination in the future. If the children in the village develop well on the road to the imperial examination, they can also become Zong'er's help.

When Lin Xiazhi came to this children's feast, he was reluctant, and it wasn't a waste of time after eating it. It seemed that Lizheng would prepare to build a school immediately after returning home.

The Lin family had already received 320 taels of silver from Doufang in February and March, which means that the village should have saved 32 taels of silver. Although it may be close to repairing the house, if Lizheng is smart, he can use it to repair Doufang. This method encourages the villagers to contribute to the school, which can save a lot of money. When the money is in place in April, the tables and chairs can be set up, and the teacher can come to class.In this way, the time is quite urgent, so hurry up.

The matter of building a school in the village was planned by Lizheng. After Lin Xiazhi brought up this idea, he did not participate in it. When the village held a meeting to discuss this matter in a few days, the Lin family just expressed their support.

It is a great honor for the village to build a school. All the villagers voted in favor of it. Those with labor at home said they would help the village to build the school as soon as possible.

Then Lizheng told them a more gratifying news. A man in the family helped build the school, and the children of that family could have a place to study for free.

In this way, people with more men in the family are even more happy, and they actively sign up to help build the house. You must know that you can save a lot of money by reading for free, and it only takes more than ten days to help build the house.

Originally, because Lin Dabao was a child, Liu Chunhua and Lin Laoyao flaunted their power in the village every day, and others also cooperated with them to flatter them. Before they could be proud for a few days, a bomb was thrown in the village to blow up the influence of Lin Dabao's matter. No more, it made Lin Lao Yao and Liu Chunhua angry.

Lin Xiazhi had no time to pay attention to the affairs of the school in the village. He received the seeds brought to him by Cheng Wenliu's messenger, and Goldfinger didn't recognize these seeds.

In the past, Lin Xiazhi could know what kind of crop the seeds were just by opening his golden finger. This was the first time he hit a wall, which made Lin Xiazhi very nervous, worried that the golden finger would point out the problem.

The people sent by Cheng Wenliu told Lin Xiazhi that these seeds were brought from the south.

The Chen family is engaged in grain trading, and Jiangning County has its own wharf and is located in a place with relatively convenient transportation. The Cheng family bought a few merchant ships and built their own caravan. The goods sold in the grain warehouse are basically Cheng's merchants The team's own people brought them back from the southeast and northwest, and bought them in large quantities from those places where they were cheap, and then shipped them back to Jiangning County and Lishui County to sell.

When Lin Xiazhi learned about this, he discussed with Cheng Wenliu. If there are some seeds that Jiangning County does not have in other places, please bring some of their caravans back.

Lin Xiazhi found that there were not many types of food in Jingguo or Lishuijun. Jingguo did not have the potatoes and taro that he knew had high yields and could fill his stomach.

The crops that can be used as staple food in Jingguo are rice, wheat, sweet potato and corn. Except for the high yield of sweet potato, the other yields are very low. Farmers work in the fields for a whole year, and sometimes they can’t even fill their stomachs.If you eat too much sweet potato, you will feel flatulence and uncomfortable. If you have no choice, you will not take sweet potato as a staple food.

Since the new seeds were brought from the south, Lin Xiazhi asked Lin Huzi to help germinate the seeds. After they germinated in the warm room, they were transplanted outside.

Because there were not many seeds, Lin Xiazhi used his golden finger to observe the changes of the seeds every day, praying that these seeds would germinate smoothly.
