Reborn and married to a stupid scholar, she has a prosperous husband and multiple children
Chapter 349 Books are as precious as gold
The couple looked at the courtyard, which was a little old but clean and comfortable, and felt an indescribable sense of satisfaction and peace of mind.
They finally have a home. This will be their home from now on. They won't have to live a life of displacement anymore.
Zhao Sheng looked at the empty yard, and asked with some excitement but calmness, "Mom and Dad, do we not have to move anymore in the future?"
They nodded together, then held the two children in their arms and said, "This is our home. We don't have to move anymore."
The family sighed for a while, then started busy cleaning up.
Although the room has been cleaned, they still have to arrange and put away the beds, tables, chairs, and kitchen utensils themselves.
Although it was a tiring and stressful day, the family was surprisingly satisfied with the result.
The next morning, the news that a new teacher had come to the village spread throughout Hegou Village. Families who wanted their children to go to school gathered at the Zhao family's door early to inquire about Shu Xiu.
The villagers did not come empty-handed. Some brought eggs, some brought food, and some brought fruits and vegetables...
Faced with the enthusiasm of the villagers, Mr. Zhao and his family were a little flattered.
When the villagers asked how much the tax was, Zhao Mu said without hesitation that if he did not collect the tax before the beginning of next spring, it would be his way of repaying his neighbors.
However, you only need to bring books, tables, chairs and benches, and no meals are provided.
After all, they are all from the same village, and the village is not big. It is convenient and saves money for the children to go home for meals. This has been the rule in the past.
When the villagers heard that Zhao Mu could study without paying tuition, they were overjoyed.
This is a great thing, but the books and pens are a bit expensive and still not affordable for poor families.
The villagers then went to the village chief and wanted to ask if there was any way to ensure that all the children in the village could go to school.
The main reason was that the village chief had told the villagers before that the village was going to build a paper mill and a printing factory, and he didn't know if the children could catch up, so they would not spend a high price to buy books.
The village chief looked at the eager faces of the villagers and thought that the paper mill had not yet been built, so they had to wait until the academy was completed before they would have time to build the paper mill.
But he couldn't bear to disappoint the villagers, and he didn't want to waste this good opportunity when Master Zhao didn't stop repairing.
After the spring, Master Zhao will stop repairing the school, and the children in the village will be even less able to afford to go to school.
The village chief's wife tugged at his sleeve and said, "How about this? You go ask Madam Lin if she has any solution?"
The villagers also nodded hurriedly: "Yes, yes, yes, Madam Lin is a very capable person, she must have a way."
The village chief was a little embarrassed. Before, Lin Shuangshuang was the daughter-in-law of the Gu family, but now she and Gu Hanzhou are divorced.
The key point is that the village didn't help Lin Shuangshuang much when she was in the most difficult time. Now that she is in trouble, she goes to them for help. It's really shameless.
There is no way to solve this kind of problem. If he goes to find Lin Shuangshuang now, it is obvious that he wants her to pay for it.
He could not do such a shameless thing.
The villagers also felt embarrassed after hearing what the village chief said. In fact, this was what they had planned.
After all, Lin Shuangshuang is rich and doesn't care about this little money at all. Maybe other people are willing to pay for it?
"How about this, let Madam Lin go to the bookstore and ask if it can be cheaper?"
"Mrs. Lin is very capable and well-known, and she is also an official. Those book sellers dare not deny her face."
"If it can be cheaper, we can buy one together."
"Yes, yes, yes. If we buy one book together, we can save half the money?"
The village chief hesitated again and again, but finally went there shamelessly for the sake of the children in the village.
After hearing the village chief's difficulties, Lin Shuangshuang said directly: "This is easy to do. We don't need to buy the books. We can print them ourselves."
"You can now ask each household to buy a piece of high-quality bamboo paper, and of course writing brushes and ink are also necessary."
"I'll take care of the book problem."
The village chief was excited: "We can print now, without having to wait for the factory to be built?"
"We can still print a hundred or so books to supply the children in our village for the time being."
"I will go and discuss this matter with Master Zhao."
"Okay, okay, that's great."
"Lin, just tell me how much money you should spend. I'll ask the villagers to exchange it. Don't add more money, otherwise I won't be able to ask you for help in the future."
"Don't worry, I know what to do. It's all for the children in the village."
"Can you let Mr. Zhao and his family settle down in Hegou Village for the sake of the children, and give them a house for free?"
"I should also contribute money and effort to the children in the village."
The village chief said with emotion: "Lin, you are a person with a broad mind."
After seeing off the village chief, Lin Shuangshuang went to the Zhao family, discussed the winter study content with Zhao Mu, and then asked him to compile a thin book.
When Zhao Mu learned that the villagers couldn't even afford to buy a book, he immediately felt melancholy, and wondered whether he should take the trouble to hand-copy a book for each of the children.
But when he heard about Lin Shuangshuang's movable type printing technique, his eyes suddenly lit up and his beard trembled with excitement.
This is so convenient. With movable type printing, hundreds of copies can be printed overnight, which is a thousand times more efficient than hand copying.
"Okay, Madam Lin, don't worry. I will be able to compile the winter study content in an hour."
Lin Shuangshuang reminded: "Most of the children in the village can't read a single word, and their learning progress is slow."
"You can edit it as appropriate. It doesn't need to be too long. It would be ideal if they can learn a hundred words in one winter."
"Thank you for the reminder, Madam Lin. I will pay attention to it."
About an hour later, Zhao Mu wrote down what he was going to teach in the next four months.
One hundred words, one hundred sentences of the Analects of Confucius that use these words, plus a few simple poems, a thin book of about ten pages.
Lin Shuangshuang took the twenty pages of paper and went home to start typeset printing using the Thousand Character Classic and simple patterns that had been carved earlier.
The one hundred words are all commonly used and simple words, such as "one, big, small, mountain, water, field, sun, moon". Lin Shuangshuang plans to add an illustration next to each word to help the children recognize the words.
She had these illustration modules carved a long time ago and they are now ready to use.
Lin Shuangshuang first printed a version with her own handwriting, and then asked Dong'er to help bind it with needle and thread, and a book of about 30 pages was completed.
Lin Shuangshuang felt a sense of accomplishment when looking at the first finished book.
When the villagers brought the paper, Dong'er started printing it one sheet at a time, and became more and more skilled.
The villagers were more and more surprised as they looked at it, and finally they couldn't help but start printing it themselves.
This is a good thing. After the printing factory opens, Lin Shuangshuang will give priority to recruiting workers in the village.
And with someone staying to help, the efficiency is high. If Dong'er were left alone, I don't know how long it would take to print.
After all, every family has two or three children. According to her statistics, there are about two to three hundred children who need to go to school.
