Compulsory education in ancient times

Several other people around also echoed: "Who says it's not? You see, it's not a festival, and the three of them are dressed like flowers, tsk tsk tsk."

"Hey, Tao Xiaomei bought eggs from Aunt Li a few days ago. I heard that everyone in their family can eat an egg every day!" As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar around.Lejing Village is not a rich village. The richer people in the village basically boil an egg every three or four days to satisfy their children. Knowing that the Tao family brothers and sisters can eat one every day, how could it not attract attention? .

"Tell me, their money..." The speaker deliberately lowered his voice and winked, "Where did it come from?"

The population of Lejing Village is only about [-], and every household in the village knows what is going on. It is impossible to hide the changes of the Tao family in the past few days.

"Where else could it come from? Look at him lying on the bed for so long, maybe he did something outside."

"No way? Tao Xiucai doesn't look like this kind of person. Besides, what else can he do with his arms and legs besides reading and writing?"

As soon as this remark came out, several people around echoed it.Everyone grew up watching Tao Jianran, plus they have a natural respect for scholars, so they don't really believe that he will do anything bad.

"Hey, let me tell you." The man said mysteriously, "The daughter-in-law of my third wife's family once saw Tao Xiucai flirting with people in the town, and she didn't know what she was doing. Woolen cloth."

Hearing this, everyone was in an uproar, you looked at me, I looked at you, and didn't speak for a while, it seemed that everything was said in silence.

At this time, the autumn harvest was coming to an end, and the enthusiasm of the idle villagers to gossip was unprecedentedly high, but within a few days, the rumors intensified.

"Do you know? I heard that Tao Xiucai has a relationship with people in the town. This, this is really shameless!"

"Have you heard? I heard that Tao Xiucai was the lover of a wealthy businessman in the town, and that's why he paid so much money."

"Let me tell you, that Tao Xiucai was the lover of a wealthy businessman in the town, and was discovered by his wife!"

"Oh, I didn't expect Tao Xiucai to be this kind of person. It's fine to be someone's lover, but he was beaten up by someone in the main room, and now he can't get out of bed."

"Do you know how Tao Xiucai got the money? It is said that he paid for the medical expenses after being beaten up by his wife as his lover!"

"What nonsense are you talking about! Tao Xiucai is not this kind of person!"

"Hey! Everyone said that, and there are fakes?"

"That's right! If it's not true, why didn't he explain it? I haven't been out these days, so I'm afraid I'll be ashamed to see people!"

The rumors came so fiercely that occasionally a few people who spoke up for Tao Jianran were quickly sprayed back by the crowd, and no one could stop the spread of the rumors.

And the protagonist at the center of the rumor, Tao Yanran, is keeping his ears to the outside world and only copying textbooks.

Thinking that one hundred sheets of paper plus one inch of ink would cost one tael of silver, Tao Yanran was so distressed that he shook the ink and dotted it on the paper that was almost finished copying. How could he dare to distract himself from the spiritual life of the villagers.

It's no wonder so many people can't afford to read books. One tael of silver can be spent by ordinary people for a year, but he doesn't even have enough for more than two books!And since there is still compulsory education going on in the future, there will be a place to spend money. 500 taels is just a drop in the bucket, so we still have to increase revenue and reduce expenditure!

【System, what happened to the reputation value you mentioned earlier? 】

[The prestige value is converted from the reverence of the people in the plane where the host is for the school run by the host~ Each person can provide a maximum of 0 prestige points. Currently, the prestige value of the host is [-], and the host needs at least one only one school can gain reputation points~]

[Then how do you exchange reputation points for knowledge? 】

[Each type of knowledge exchanged by the system requires [-] reputation points to be exchanged, and the exchanged knowledge is guaranteed to be suitable for the plane~ The host just needs to tell others what he wants~]

[Hmm... Do you have any knowledge of increasing crop yield? 】

[Search for knowledge applicable to increasing the yield of most crops: "Waterwheel Irrigation Encyclopedia", "Organic Fertilizer Encyclopedia".Does the host need to search for targeted crop production knowledge~]

【No thanks. 】

【Ouch~ With the relationship between the two of us, the host doesn't need to say thank you~】

no, we have nothing to do...

Tao Yanran ignored the occasional convulsions of the system and thought about the school's regulations.Only by getting the school out, will there be prestige. Xiao thinks about other ways to make money!

It was too late to build a teaching building, and Tao Yanran planned to use the living room at home as a classroom for the time being, since their living room was big enough anyway.After stabilizing, consider buying land and building a school.

As for the textbooks... don't think about it for now.Not only because paper and ink are too expensive, although Ruichao has invented woodblock printing, but the cost is too high, 500 taels may not be able to print a few copies, but in the future, it can be exchanged with the system for the knowledge of movable type printing.

But now it costs a lot of money to hire someone to copy books, the more Tao Yanran thinks about it, the more he feels that 500 taels is not enough to fit his teeth!Without textbooks, you have to think of other ways.

Tao Jianran got up to exercise his muscles and bones, and saw that the sun outside was just westward, so he was not in a hurry, and went to check the homework of his younger siblings first.

Tao Xiaomei is smart, and she has only been teaching for half a month. After learning Arabic numerals, addition and subtraction within a hundred digits is not difficult for her at all. Although her progress in Chinese is a bit slow, she has learned five or six texts.And Tao Xiran has learned almost a quarter of the textbooks in both Chinese and mathematics.

Seeing the diligent and hard-working appearance of the two, Tao Yanran couldn't help but feel emotional.If you want to be in the plane of the previous life, maybe you haven't finished teaching Chapter 1 in half a month, and it really is more pleasing to be a good boy.Thinking of that brat in the previous life, Tao Jianran felt a little pain in his forehead.

After Tao Jianran taught the two new content, he went back to his room and copied a few chapters of the textbook for the second volume of the year. Seeing that the sunset had dyed most of the sky red, he reported to Xiaomei Tao that he was going to the village chief's house.

Now he has eaten and drank well for half a month, and his complexion has improved a lot. At least when he sits down and stands up, his eyes will not turn black due to low blood sugar.Tao Xiaomei stared at him for a long time before allowing him to go out alone.

The Tao family is at the end of the village and is the closest family to the back mountain, while the village head's family is at the entrance of the village, and the distance between the two is more than 1000 meters.Tao Jianran didn't dare to walk fast because of the wound.When passing by the open space in the center of the village, I saw many villagers enjoying the cool and chatting under the trees.

Tao Jianran had something in his mind, so he didn't notice that when he appeared, the open space that was still chattering suddenly fell silent, and he didn't notice how strange the villagers looked at him.As soon as Tao Jianran passed by, there were bursts of conversations in the open space again.

It was already dark when Tao Jianran swayed down to the village chief's house.At this time, the village head had just returned with his sickle on his shoulders, and welcomed him into the house very enthusiastically.

Seeing that the village head was going to make sugar water for him, Tao Yanran hurriedly stopped him, and went straight to the point with lingering fear: "The village head is not busy, I have something to ask the village head this time." These days, sugar is a valuable item. It is a very decent thing to invite guests to drink sugar water.However, Tao Jianran doesn't like to eat sweet things. During this time, he was forced to drink a bowl of sugar water every day. Now his legs go limp when he sees sugar water!

Hearing this, the village chief's expression also became serious. Thinking of the recent rumors in the village, he frowned slightly and said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, you don't need to worry about this matter. Although the old man is old, these things can still be done. !"

"Hey? Village chief, do you know about blackboards?" Tao Yanran was surprised. Originally, he planned to find a few wooden boards to replace temporarily, but it would be even better if the village chief could make a real blackboard!It turns out that the blackboard is already there now?

After a few days of systematic popularization, Tao Jianran already knew that Ruichao’s production level was similar to that of the early Tang Dynasty. He didn’t expect that there would be a blackboard. What a surprise!

[Hehe, stupid host. 】

Hearing the system's complaints, and seeing the blank expression of the village chief, Tao Jianran also realized that something seemed wrong, and he seemed to have made a big oolong?Touching his nose in embarrassment, he coughed twice and said, "Ahem, I just want the village chief to ask if anyone in the village has old wooden boards that are not used as blackboards in the school."

Hearing that it was something related to the school, the village head was also a little surprised.The young man was not bothered by those rumors at all, but instead devoted himself to making plans for the villagers. He couldn't help admiring Tao Jianran even more, and asked quickly, "What is that blackboard?"

Tao Jianran explained the function of the blackboard to the village head, and the village head's wrinkled eyes widened immediately, and he was so excited that he said hello several times, "Don't worry, Da Lang, I will definitely take care of this matter for you!" As long as With a few old boards, you can read and learn characters without books. How come no one thought of it before!

There are not many things in their area, but there are many mountains, and the wood is not worth much at all.In this way, people in the village who can't afford books will have less worries. Maybe this school can really be successful!Thinking that every family in the village will be able to read and write in the future, the village chief felt an indescribable pride in his heart. Those worries before were a little less, and his heart became more anxious.

"Then I'll leave it to the village chief." After Tao Yanran finished speaking, he asked casually, "By the way, what did the village chief say before?"

"It's nothing, it's just a little thing." It's fine for him to deal with these little things. Since Tao Yanran doesn't mind these trivial matters, the village chief feels that he doesn't need to mention them specially, which is just annoying.

Tao Jianran heard the words, but he didn't get to the bottom of it, and he didn't expect that he had only stayed at home for a few days. Beat it out with a stick, and return to the village with a sum of medical expenses to become a rich and flirtatious bastard."
