Reborn and married to a stupid scholar, she has a prosperous husband and multiple children

Lin Shuangshuang told the village chief about building a school and Wen Yunyun teaching instead of Master Sun.

There is nothing negotiable about Wen Yunyun's teaching, as long as Wen Yunyun and Master Sun are willing.

The matter of building a school put the village chief in a bit of trouble, as the village had no spare money to build a school.

Lin Shuangshuang couldn't afford to spend the money. Although he had money, he had no obligation to build a school for the village.

Moreover, even if the school is built, where can I find a master?

How many villagers will be willing to send their children to school?

If it were free, everyone would definitely be willing to do so, but the cost of studying is too high.

Studying is not just a matter of paying a little amount of money, but you also need to buy books, pens, ink, paper and inkstones later on. These are all money-consuming things.

The village chief thought for a while and finally said: "It's not difficult to build a school. We can just build the adobe. We can go up the mountain and cut down trees for the beams. We can ask Carpenter Wang to make the doors, windows, tables and chairs, and we can just spend some money on the tiles."

"It's just a question of how many children will come to study after the school is built?"

"Studying is expensive. Pens, ink, paper and inkstones all cost money, and a book can easily cost several taels or dozens of taels of silver."

"Not many families in the village can afford to go to school. If the school is built, wouldn't it be a waste of time?"

The village chief said, changing the topic: "But if we don't build a school, there will be no place for the children of the dozen or so families in the village who are willing to study."

"The children are too young and it is not practical to go to town to study."

"If this delays these good young people who are good at reading, when will we be able to produce a scholar in Hegou Village?"

"Generation after generation, our ancestors have been working in the land for generations. When will our children be able to make a difference?"

The village chief sighed heavily after speaking, as if he had aged several years in an instant.

Lin Shuangshuang also knew that the village chief was really worried about the children in the village, so he said, "I know it is difficult, but overcoming difficulties is what we should do."

"Everything is difficult at the beginning. This is like planting a tree. Only when the predecessors carry the burden forward can the descendants have the shade to enjoy the shade."

"Books are expensive and we can print them ourselves."

"Paper is expensive, we can make our own paper."

"Brush and ink are expensive. We can use charcoal pens or practice calligraphy on a sand table."

"As long as we want to do it, there are always more ways than difficulties."

Listening to Lin Shuangshuang's words, the village chief's eyes gradually lit up with hope.

"Is it really possible?"

"Make your own paper? Can we do it?"

"There is no one in our village who can make paper."

He could understand sandboxes and charcoal, but what was printing?

"What's printing?"

Lin Shuangshuang briefly explained: "Does the village chief know why books are expensive?"

"Of course the paper is expensive. In addition, the books are collected by aristocratic families. They are only for their nephews to read and are not circulated outside, thus reducing competition in the imperial examination."

Lin Shuangshuang nodded: "You can tell me everything. It's because of scarcity that things are more valuable when they are scarce."

“In addition, paper is expensive and copying is time-consuming and labor-intensive. Books are very expensive for various reasons.”

"If we can make our own paper and print handwriting on paper instantly, the cost will naturally come down, and books will only become cheaper and cheaper in the future."

"Print it instantly?" The village chief didn't understand very well. In his impression, the only ones who could do this were immortals, right?

Lin Shuangshuang looked at the village chief's puzzled expression and said confidently: "I can make pen, ink, paper and inkstones. The pen, ink, paper and inkstones for children to study can be bought with very little money."

"In the future, all children in the village will be able to afford to read."

The village chief looked at her confident look and believed in her words.

"Okay, I will convene a meeting of the villagers to discuss building a school."

Lin Shuangshuang nodded, and then continued: "Village chief, how about we dig a brick kiln ourselves, burn bricks and tiles ourselves, and learn a profession without spending money."

“It just takes effort and time, but as long as the villagers are willing to work hard, life will definitely get better day by day.”

The village chief's eyes suddenly brightened up in a frightening way: "Can you still burn bricks and tiles?"

Lin Shuangshuang smiled: "I learned from books."

"The books I read are all leisure books, which are different from the books read by men."

The village chief was extremely excited: "The books you read are all useful in life, and they are much better than the books read by men."

"Okay, then let's dig brick kilns and bake bricks and tiles first, then build a school, make paper and print books, and do everything one by one."

"As long as we make a good start for future generations, our descendants will definitely get better and better in the future."

The more the village chief talked, the more excited he became, wishing he could finish it all in one go.

That evening, the village chief convened the whole village to discuss building a school. Everyone shook their heads at first, but a few people with good family conditions raised their hands in favor.

They already knew that Master Sun could no longer teach, and they were worried about where their children would go to study in the future.

Although building a school does not take a day or two, as long as it is built, even if it is delayed for a year or two, it is better than the children not studying for a lifetime.

The village chief waved his hand, signaling everyone to quiet down.

Of course he knew that the reason most people disagreed was lack of money, so he naturally brought up the brick kiln.

If everyone learns how to bake bricks and tiles, not only can they build their own houses, but they can also sell them to support their families.

With more money in hand, won’t the children have enough money to study?

Who doesn't want to be like the Gu family, where if an official is born in the family, the ancestral graves are covered in smoke.

After everyone heard that Lin Shuangshuang was willing to teach everyone how to make bricks and tiles, they became excited instantly.

Lin Shuangshuang is indeed the God of Wealth in Hegou Village. He just taught everyone how to pick herbs some time ago, and now he has to teach everyone how to bake bricks and tiles.

Besides, the money earned from burning bricks and tiles is to let their children study and develop their skills. Anyone who disagrees is a fool.

The village chief waved his hand again to silence the villagers, and then talked about making paper and printing books. The villagers knelt down and worshiped.

Is there anything in the world that Lin can't do?

How can she do everything?

During the plague, she could make medicine and make salt. Now she can even make pens, inks, paper and inkstones. It’s really amazing.

This is the benefit of reading. Those who read know better.

right! The children at home must be allowed to study, the boys can be officials, and the girls can do business. It is beautiful to think about it.

This matter reached an unprecedented consensus, and then Hegou Village became busy again.

The whole village was mobilized, and under the guidance and command of Lin Shuangshuang, the villagers dug more than a dozen brick kilns, large and small, in just three days.

It is more difficult to make green bricks from tile blanks because the tiles have curvature, so just making the blanks is difficult, so Lin Shuangshuang plans to try his hand by firing a kiln of green bricks first.

After all, she has never had a fever, she learned it from books in space.

I don’t know if I can succeed in the first attempt. I have to practice it a few times first.
