"Master Xiaoyan, you are back!"

When the people in the field saw Yan Kai, they all greeted him affectionately.

Yan Kai deliberately made a serious face: "Why are you back? I didn't go anywhere else! We are all familiar with each other, so don't talk nonsense!"

Only then did the people remember what Chun Yuzhen had said when Yan Kai left, and they quickly said with a smile:

"Hahaha, yes, Master Xiaoyan came to my house the day before yesterday and drank the fish soup made by my mother."

"Yes, yes, I ate potato pancakes at my house the day before yesterday. Mr. Xiaoyan also said that my potato pancakes were too salty."

The people were talking a lot. If someone who didn't know came, they would really think that Yan Kai was in the county every day.

Yan Kai waited for everyone to finish, then said with a smile: "Isn't it a holiday tomorrow and the next two days? I want to ask someone for a favor."

"Master Xiaoyan, tell me!" Originally, the two days of holiday were for the people to take care of their own fields, but since Yan Kai said he wanted to help, everyone was obliged to help.

"Even if the county plans to build a school, it doesn't need to be big, just two big rooms, as long as it can protect against wind and rain."

"When the school is completed, any children in your family who are willing to come to study and learn to read can come. If you want to learn, I will also set up a night class in the evening, and you can also come to learn to read."

After Yan Kai finished speaking, everyone was stunned.

"What did Mr. Xiaoyan say just now? Are you too tired from work today, are you doing the splits?"

"Daughter-in-law, give me a slap and let's see if I'm dreaming!"

"Crack!" There was a crisp sound.

"It's not a dream, it's really not a dream!" The man covering his face looked at Yan Kai:

"Mr. Xiaoyan, are you saying that the county will build a school so that our children can go to school, right?"

"Hey, I was thinking about growing potatoes at home in the future. If I could make money, I would send my children to study in Dengzhou City. But after asking, I found that they are all ethnic scholars and wouldn't accept us at all."

"Master Xiaoyan, how much do you charge for a child?"

Yan Kai looked at the excited people gathered around and said with a smile: "You ask one by one. If you ask like this, I can't come back even if I have ten mouths."

The people calmed down a bit and looked directly at Yan Kai.

Yan Kai then said: "First of all, you heard me right, our county is planning to build a school."

"You can send any children you want to learn how to read."

"As for collecting money, you will definitely have to collect it."

Seeing the people below breathing heavily, he continued:

"One child, one month..."

"One work point!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the people below immediately exploded.

One work point per month, doesn’t that mean that every family can send their children to learn how to read?

"If you want to come to night school in the evening, you can get one work point per month."

Everyone thinks that this one work point is not much to read to the children at home.

But when it comes to their turn, many people are still reluctant to part with it.

"Let's forget it. We are already over thirty, how could we learn to read?"

"Yes, we are just farming in the fields anyway, so it doesn't matter if we recognize one more word and one less word."

Hearing what these people said, Yan Kai smiled nonchalantly and said, "This is voluntary, but if your children come to school during the day and don't study hard, and you don't know how to read when you get home, you should also check If you don’t come out, it’s not my fault.”

After hearing what Yan Kai said, the people's opinions suddenly changed.

"Study, you must learn. I'm already so old. If the brat at home doesn't learn as fast as I do, I'll beat him to death if I don't come home!"

"It's just that these bastards are well fed now, but we can't let them just play around. We also have to learn from them to avoid being fooled by them!"

Hearing what they said, Yan Kai smiled slightly. After all, he was also a person who had been exposed to rain. How could he not tear these children's umbrellas to pieces?

"Then is there anyone willing to help tomorrow?"

"I!"

"I'm willing too, my whole family will come!"

"Me, and me!"

Who wouldn’t want to do something like this? Almost everyone raised their hands, even Hu Dashan, who was in his sixties, leaned on a cane from behind and shouted: "Count me in, count me in!"

This time we were building a dormitory building, so we had to collect a lot of materials.

There are not many others in Yankai Kuoding County, and the ratio of craftsmen is definitely at the forefront of the entire Tang Dynasty.

In addition, this house does not have high requirements. One is strong, and the other is that it can withstand wind and rain.

With hundreds of people from the whole county working together, the progress is very fast.

In two days of vacation, most of the house was built.

Seeing this, Yan Kai decided to just ask everyone to finish the work the next day.

Anyway, I won’t rob the things in that field in these two days.

In just three days, the two teaching buildings were completed.

It is said to be a teaching building, but it is still relatively simple.

There is a roof above to keep out the rain. There are no tiles. The roof is made of wooden boards directly painted with tung oil. It just needs to be fixed piece by piece on the beams and eaves.

Only the front and back walls have been built around it, but the left and right sides are still empty.

Anyway, summer is coming, and it will be cooler if it is ventilated.

The walls on the left and right sides in the back can be repaired slowly when everyone is free.

Outside there is a small courtyard surrounded by a bamboo fence. On the door of the courtyard are the words "Zhou Family School" written crookedly by Yan Kai.

Now in Kuoding County, there is no one who does not know these four words.

Many people even said that the four words spoken by their county magistrate, Xiaoyan, were no worse than Mr. Dengshan's, which made Yan Kai blush a little.

At this time, a group of people came to Kuoding County.

I saw Zhou Dashan walking outside the county town, and went over to ask:

"Old man, I want to ask you something."

Zhou Dashan was stunned, but seeing that several people were wearing similar outfits, he walked over honestly.

"What do you guys want to ask?"

"Do you have a father and son named Zhou here?"

"Father and son named Zhou?" Zhou Dashan made a calculation in his mind. The teacher in Zhou's school is the daughter-in-law of Master Zhou's family.

It was brought back by Magistrate Xiaoyan after he went out last time.

Magistrate Xiaoyan also specifically told everyone to keep this secret. Now it seems that these people are probably coming to Master Zhou's house.

Zhou Dashan grinned: "Yes, the old man's surname is Zhou, and my son and I are a father and son named Zhou."

The visitor frowned. Luodian Zhou was only in his early forties. How could he be this old man?

So he asked again: "They are from out of town, a father and son named Zhou, and they recently brought a strange woman to your place, right?"

"No!" Zhou Dashan said with a look of astonishment: "The old man has lived here for so many years, and there is no father and son named Zhou from other places."

The few people who came looked at each other in confusion. The police officer who applied for attachments to Luo Dian and Zhou clearly said that they were in Kuoding County, Dengzhou. How could it not be there?

"Old man, you have to tell the truth, otherwise don't blame us for being rude!"
