Otherworldly Days

Seeing that the discussion was almost over, Cao Xiangnan raised his hand to ask everyone to be quiet.After everyone quieted down, he said, "There is another question, what is the use of my brother's reading? I heard many people say that my brother's reading is useless."

"Then I'm here to tell you about this issue." Cao Xiangnan's face was very serious, and there are serious thoughts in this world that value boys over brothers. Even when he sent An An to study, the people on the other side of the compound They all come to trouble him.

When he sent his children to school at the beginning, apart from his two older brothers, there was another elder brother from Wu Yue's family.When Wu Yue sent her younger brother to study at the beginning, his family's mother didn't allow it, so they had a falling out.

So this problem is not a personal problem, but a very common phenomenon.

If he wants to change this phenomenon, he has to start with the younger generation. Now most of the people who come to his family are young brothers, and they all have children in their families.At the very least, he has to do it, so that these people around him can send their little brother to study in the academy, and let them persuade other people to send their little brother to study at that time. You can get twice the result with half the effort, and there is no need for him to lobby in person.

"First, my brother can read and read, and his personal quality will be improved. Think about it, if all the brothers in Caojia Village can read and write in the future, will people from other villages marry a brother? Those who have read and read, it sounds good to say it?" He caught the mentality of some people who think that having a brother is useless.

"Maybe we can ask for more dowry gifts at that time, right?" Cao Xiangnan half-jokingly said, but the possibility cannot be ruled out. If you earn money from work, the family is in charge of the family, if this brother is a good housekeeper, then don’t you feel more at ease when a man makes money outside?”

"Third, my brother can read and read, and he can educate the children in the future. Before the children enter school, teach the children in the family to read some words, so that when the children in the family enter school, will they be able to read better than other children? More characters? If the child is good at reading, isn't the possibility of getting a job in the exam more likely?"

Later, Cao Xiangnan listed several points. In short, he hoped to wash the brains of those people in the village first, and send the brothers in the family to study, instead of thinking that giving birth to a brother is useless, and he will marry him in the future. It's just a tool to go to other people's homes to give birth to children and carry on the family line.

In fact, my brother can also get fame, but these people don't even allow me to study, so how can I have a chance to go on the road of getting fame?

Cao Xiangnan's words opened a new door in the minds of the brothers.

yes!If the elder brother in their family has studied, it will be much easier to find a good family in the future. By then, people from outside will come to ask for their elder brother from Caojia Village?Does his own brother still worry about not finding a good family?A group of brothers felt that what Cao Silang said was right.

A group of brothers immediately began to discuss, and they all agreed with Cao Silang's statement.

Cao Xiangnan heard everyone's discussion, and felt that this matter was justified.

Sitting there, Wang Dahu nodded his head and felt that what Cao Xiangnan said was too reasonable. His wife is literate, and his wife is amazing.Does he have to read some books to be worthy of his wife?I heard that these guys can also go to school.

Fortunately, Liu Baishu didn't know what the people next to him were thinking. What he was thinking about was Cao Xiangnan's words. Since ancient times, few people would send his brother to study. His current plan is to let the brothers in the whole village Go to study, can this be done?He had doubts in his heart, but gradually he had an answer, and he only knew it would come true.

Gan Weiqi really found out that Cao Xiangnan is a talent, and this ability to charm people's hearts is not something ordinary people will have.

"Okay, let's return to the problem we talked about at the beginning, which is the problem of money." Cao Xiangnan knew that these people had listened to his words, and he changed the topic to the money.

"I have already bought the land of the academy. The land deed belongs to me. At that time, the land deed will also belong to the academy, and it will not belong to me, Cao Xiangnan. I must emphasize that this academy does not belong to me, Cao Xiangnan. It belongs to everyone, and in the future, all families with children can send their children to the place where they study."

"Then this academy belongs to everyone. I think that the money for the academy will be raised in the village at any time. Every family can give as much as they can. It's not more, it's just a matter of one mind. Moreover, several villages near the academy People who can send their children to study here, we will go to the nearby villages to see how much money the rest of the villages can raise."

As far as Caojia Village is concerned, if every family doesn't make a lot of money from him, he doesn't believe that any family will have no money.As for other villages, he only knew that Caojia Village used to be the poorest.

As long as you want to send your child to the academy at that time, you will give more or less, it is a matter of giving more or less.As for asking everyone to give more and less, it depends on his ability.Furthermore, in this Fenshui town, Cao Xiangnan is not just a mere Cao family who made a little money. There are many landlords and gentry nearby. He has to find a way to get money from these people to get more money.

"At that time, we will engrave words on one of the walls of the academy, who gave how much money to build the academy, we will engrave it one by one, name, how much money was given when the academy was built. Come to the academy to study in the future People who know these people will know these people, and their names will be famous and remembered by the world from generation to generation." So he is afraid that the rich will not donate money?Cao Xiangnan felt that there was a villain in his heart looking up to the sky and laughing.

What these landlords and gentry want is nothing more than a good reputation, and when the time comes, no one will rush to give it a lot.

"See how much money we can raise at that time, and I'll pay if it's not enough." Cao Xiangnan felt that if he raised a round, he would pay for the land here, and he might not need to pay any more money later, he said, " If there is a lot of money raised at that time, the money will also be used for the future expenses of the academy."

He can bear all the money to build the academy by himself, but this school is not for Cao Xiangnan alone, but for the entire Caojia Village, and even people from nearby villages can send their children to study, so Cao Xiangnan does not intend to use this school. The responsibility is all on yourself.

"Well, I'll pay 100 taels here." Cao Gang said after sitting there listening for a long time.

"Okay." Good brother!Since Cao Gang spoke up, he was naturally the big one here, and Cao Xiangnan showed a big smile.

"Silang, I also count as a share here. Is there any extra money? I can still get a few dozen taels of silver." Seeing Fulang glanced at him, Chen Hong understood and said immediately.

He is in charge of the family's money, Chen Hong naturally knows how much money the family has now, and building the college is a major event, so he is naturally willing to spend a sum of money for it.Their family's monthly income is quite a lot now, and he believes that they will only get more and not less in the future.

Wu Yue and Li Mei also said that they got their share, and they got their wages from Cao Silang now.I heard that Cao Silang has built another large yard to make clothes, and they will follow them, and they will not worry about losing their jobs in the future.

Since taking back the right to run the house from E'Mu, the family's money is with him, and with money in his pocket, Wu Yue has the confidence to speak.

Li Zheng saw that everyone here said that they would contribute money to build the academy, and his family also had a little money, so it would naturally be paid by then.After hearing this, Li Zheng knew that the money was not a problem.

Now this money adds up to hundreds of taels, plus the money raised by other people, I am afraid it will be a considerable amount. As for the future expenses of this academy, Cao Xiangnan has also thought about this problem, he The meaning is to buy ten acres of land under the name of the academy to subsidize the cost of the academy, "and then see if we need to continue to buy more land. After the academy is built, I will find a way to add more land to the academy. Several incomes will be counted in this academy, and will be used for the expenses of the academy at that time."

In this way, they don't have to worry about the cost of the academy in the future. The people in the village will manage these fields, and the harvest will be counted in the academy. At that time, they will have money to hire a teacher to teach the children.

Liu Baishu and Wang Dahu were also sitting there listening. Liu Baishu and Gan Weiqi looked at each other and saw the same thing in their eyes.The more he gets along with this person, the more surprises Liu Baishu can get from this person.

The sky outside is gradually getting dark, so this is the end of this topic, and we will discuss the details later.

Cao Xiangnan didn't intend to go through the village chief's hands in this matter. Even if the village is building roads now, the village chief can fix him up. Now it is in the hands of Lizheng.Because of Lizheng driving those people away, he also heard that the village chief had turned his back on Lizheng now.

These people are really shameless!However, Cao Xiangnan had already seen this point, so he was not surprised by it.

It happened that the site where the academy was planned to be built was outside of Caojia Village, and it happened to be in a triangular area. The village head of Caojia Village and those old things really couldn't control it.He remembered that Shopkeeper Liu had a good relationship with the county magistrate, and when the time came, he would invite the county magistrate to come over and invite all the county magistrates, so there was no need for those old things from the village.

When Cao Dapeng went back, he took Lizheng home by the way.

"Be careful on the road."

"it is good."

"See you tomorrow."

"See you tomorrow."

A group of brothers were discussing the issue of this academy on the way back. They were all looking forward to the construction of this academy, so that their children could go to study, and those under the age of seven would not need to be repaired. Send the elder brother at home to study together.

Thinking about how people around my brother will come to ask for it in the future, and there will be generous dowry gifts, their hearts will be beautiful!

When the family members left one by one, the courtyard became much quieter.

Sun Bailian also took the child home to take a bath, and Cao Xiangnan also asked Wan Feng to take the child to take a bath first, "Go to bed early after you take a bath, I will be busy here for a while." They returned all the grapes they picked this afternoon. Not finished.

"Okay." Qi Wanfeng wanted to say something, but he didn't say it.

The two have been together for so long, and Cao Xiangnan still doesn't know what his family's Wanfeng is thinking. He smiled and said, "Go to bed first, don't wait for me, I will go back to my room as soon as possible." He knew that this person was I was worried that he would be busy too late, and there was no time to rest after being so busy every day, so I was worried about him.

Seen through his mind, Qi Wanfeng's face was a little embarrassed, and he let out a low "hmm".

Several children were playing outside, so he called the children to go back to take a bath.
