Taoyuan Farmhouse Daily

Chapter 91 Learning

The outbreak of the gambling incident also reflects that there are still loopholes in the current management of Taoyuan Village, otherwise such a thing as the Dafu family who had to leave the village not because of something unbearable would not have happened.

This world pays the most attention to family roots, and unless in extreme circumstances, they are unwilling to leave the ethnic group.Otherwise, it will be like a rootless weed, letting others trample on it.

But this time it was just that Dafu's son had done something wrong, and he had been punished for what he had always clearly stipulated not to do.The Dafu family dared to leave with such confidence. Apart from having something to rely on, it was also because of the sudden wealth that made everyone feel ecstatic, and they couldn't find North for a while.

They only saw the money in their hands and forgot about other things. They even felt that the various cumbersome rules in the village were constraints, and they wanted to run away as soon as possible.

Although the rules of Taoyuan Village are quite perfect, there are still many loopholes, especially under the rapid development, some details cannot keep up.So Chang Xile planned to work with Lizheng and the clan elders to further improve the village rules.

Chang Xile intends to combine the original village rules with the family rules of the first Zheng family in the south of the Yangtze River that he learned in his previous life. The Zheng family is a century-old family with strict family rules. There are more than 170 officials who are very clean and have never been corrupted.A family can stand for hundreds of years, and its family rules must have its science.

The Zheng family has a rule that as long as they are still young and middle-aged, those who are not sick or paralyzed must do their best to work.

This is also what Taoyuan Village must implement. Only by participating in labor, creating value, and knowing the hard work of labor, will it not make the spirit empty, and will not despise the labor of others.

And build various interest groups in the village to enrich everyone's entertainment life.After all, the current Taoyuan Village is different from the situation where people had been running around for a living in the past. When people's food and clothing are solved, they will start to seek spiritual satisfaction.If there is a shortage, it is likely to go whoring and gambling.

So he plans to establish a folk band, dance team, etc. like the previous dragon and lion dance team.

It is also necessary to open up a place in the wasteland as a sports venue, so that everyone can play Cuju, dance and so on.

Every year, village games, garden parties, banquets and other activities will be held.Let everyone gather together in their free time, dance and dance, and enrich ordinary life.

The most important thing is that not only children, but also adults should start to receive education, start to read and write, and carry out all-round literacy actions.

In the past, it was because the problem of food and clothing had not yet been solved, and the number of teachers was not enough, so we had to start with the children first.But now the first batch of children have learned. Although most of them may not pass the scientific examination, it is still not a problem to teach everyone how to read.

And these are linked to specific benefits. Even if people don't understand why they need to read and write, they will actively participate in this.

In order to make everyone more interested in learning, Chang Xile edited the textbooks to be more down-to-earth, and combined the teaching with things around her.Anyway, his request is only for literacy, not for everyone to take a scientific test.

No one expected that the gambling incident would lead to such a direction.But everyone has blindly followed Chang Xile's decision, even though they don't understand it, they follow suit.In this way, a group of people suffered a lot. They thought that farming was already the hardest thing in the world, but they didn't expect reading and writing to be even worse.

Many people wailed like that, and would rather plant ten acres of land than attend a class.

Now all the children in Taoyuan Village have to go to school from the age of six, and many of the children in the family have gone to school for several years. If you don't work hard, you can't even compare with your children, and you will be ashamed.Everyone knows that reading is good, so they are very strict with their children on weekdays. Now it's my turn, so I can't just study too badly, otherwise how will I teach my children in the future?How to let the child obey his own tube?

So although it was painful, many people were gnashing their teeth and studying hard.

Chang Xile also asked Chang Xisheng to look for more books outside, all kinds of books, especially agricultural books, travel notes, history books, etc. He removed some books with bad views, and then stored them in the newly established reading room inside.Anyone who is a villager in Taoyuan Village can go in and study.

There is also free paper, pen, ink, paper and inkstone in it, and whoever can copy the book and copy it well will be rewarded.And if you can write down your impressions after reading the book, as long as you don't obviously make up the number of words, you can get points for each article. The number of points depends on the quality, and the person with the highest points every month will also be rewarded.

Usually, various learning competitions will be held on the site to stimulate everyone's interest in learning, and the winners will be rewarded accordingly.

Chang Xile has also set up many awards, most of which are based on the small family, that is, the parents and children as the unit, and only the whole small family can get it if they do well.In addition to material rewards, mobile red flags will also be issued.Including the most diligent award, the most outstanding award, the collective progress award, etc., to add a sense of honor.

The reason why we focus on small families is also to let everyone supervise each other. Whoever dares to delay will have no status at home.Let everyone feel embarrassed not to learn in this atmosphere.

Among them, the highest reward is the award for the extended family. Originally, Chang Xile was very tacky and wanted to reward with material rewards and small pennants. In the end, the Lizhenghe clan elders strongly demanded that Chang Xile's handwritten books be rewarded.Chang Xile was very guilty at the time. What's the point of asking him to copy the book by hand?

The small brocade banner of Taoyuan Village was made with great care, and Chang Xile asked Chang Xisheng to find the best embroiderer in the mansion to embroider it.Although the life in Taoyuan Village is getting better and better, the girls have also started to learn embroidery in their free time, and their clothes and handkerchiefs are much more refined than before.But after all, it has only just emerged. This thing is full of skills, not a temporary achievement, so it is far inferior to those professional embroiderers in the mansion.

So everyone is very rare to see this exquisite pennant embroidered with lifelike flowers, peacocks and so on.Even without this honor, just this beautiful pennant makes people want to get it.

But Li Zheng and the clan elders insisted on taking this as a prize, and as long as it was the same, they said it was too much and too precious.

Chang Xile knew that he was a little deified now, but seeing that other rewards were very rich, and the highest award was actually a handwritten book by himself, he couldn't help but feel uneasy.

Finally, after thinking about it, I gave full play to my memory and tried to write some stories about the Three Views and Zhengzheng that I read in my previous life.At first, he just wrote some simple stories. After all, no matter how familiar he was, he couldn't write down word by word. He had to make up his own and describe it with appropriate words and sentences.

But the short story is a bit short, and he felt that the handwritten book should be a few pages after all.It's miserable enough without material rewards, and a book is so thin, it's too pitiful, so he racked his brains to write stories that the three views are still in line with the situation here so that everyone can understand.

Fortunately, this kind of reward is only available once a year. If it is once a month like some rewards, he will really go bald.

These stories are very popular with everyone. Originally, people in Taoyuan Village will be able to get Chang Xile's handwritten books as the greatest honor. This is a blessing!I didn't expect such an interesting story to be written in it.Not to mention Taoyuan Village, even in the city, the stories are not as rich as those of later generations, so I am particularly interested in these.

These stories are fresh, and everyone has never heard of them. After reading them, they take them outside and tell them.At first, everyone was curious about what was written in the handwritten book, but it turned out that there were stories to listen to, and they were all envious.Forget it, the winner is still annoying, but he doesn't want to finish it all in one breath, he only talks a little bit a day, and he still has a more exciting story behind it, which makes people scratch their heads .

But I don't have any, it's just heartbreaking.

In this way, this handwritten hand will become more popular, and everyone wants to work hard to get it.

And those who got Chang Xile's handwritten books had to work hard in order to understand the words on them.Although Chang Xile's writing is quite easy to understand, it is not in the vernacular. If you don't have enough literary skills, you will be half-understood, especially there are some allusions in it. If you don't check it, you will be confused. Had to learn more.

The combination of factors makes the learning atmosphere in Taoyuan Village stronger.Reading and studying are always endless, so that everyone has something to do, so they won't be afraid of emptiness and boredom to do something they shouldn't do.

As Chang Xile wrote, she felt that it was coming, and she also kept silent about Journey to the West, which she had read dozens of times.Although the literary value is definitely not as good as the original because I can't remember it completely, at least the story is fully understood, and the classic plots are basically the same.

Journey to the West has a lot of words, so he didn't put the whole story on one reward, but divided it into ten books, enough for him to publish for ten years...

This story is suitable for all ages, and everyone loves it as soon as it appears.But there is only such a book, and the family that can get rewards will not let others touch it at all. They will tell everyone a small section of the story every day, and always add a sentence when the book is more exciting. They said Time has changed.

This makes the manuscripts written by Chang Xile very popular, almost equivalent to the existence of family heirlooms.But also because of this kind of encouragement, and with such a big village, there are always a few bright minds who are good at studying, and then there are really a few talents, who not only get fame in the exam, but also become officials in the court.

But these are all later things, now because of Dafu's departure, he was responsible for many affairs before, and now he has to reintegrate.Now that he has left Taoyuan Village, the property belonging to Taoyuan Village under his hands cannot be taken away, so it needs to be redistributed.

The fixed assets are fine, because although they left because they violated the village rules and were unwilling to be punished, they did not do anything that directly damaged the interests of Taoyuan Village, so Taoyuan Village will pay to buy their inherent assets, and the price will be based on the market price. Come on, it's still fair.

This part of the money comes out of the company, so the fixed assets also belong to the company, and all future income will be included in the company.

Now Taoyuan Village already has a relatively complete medical and pension system, and the expenses are all paid by the public. It can be said that it is taken from the people and used for the people.

Chang Xile has no objection to this. Although the king of clan power in this world can override the law, it is not uncommon for some villagers in some places to violate the village rules and be thrown away immediately, and their property cannot be taken away.Moreover, it is often difficult to seek justice when it is reported to the Yamen, unless one is powerful enough.In fact, they can do the same, and they can kill the prestige of the Dafu family.

The reason why he agrees with most of the reasons is to ensure the normal development of Taoyuan Village. Now he knows that Lizheng and the clan elders are fair, so he is very relieved of their actions.But who knows what a group of people will look like after a hundred years. If the system is not well formulated, it may affect the future.

In the future, if dirty people come out and use the rules to deliberately drive the villagers away with one reason or another, then it will be messed up.

In order to prevent this phenomenon from happening, some rules still have to be established.They are not bandits, and they will not deprive others of their legal property at every turn.But the Dafu family is definitely not eligible to enjoy the various benefits of Taoyuan Village.These seem to be nothing, but if they are really counted, they are not necessarily less than those fixed assets.

The trouble with Dafu's departure is that he has to find someone to take over the job at hand. I have to say that Dafu is a talent, and he really can't find a suitable person for a while.But now Chang Xisheng can already handle this kind of thing, if one person can't handle it, then there are a few more people.

Chang Xisheng has never been stingy with taking care of his apprentices. Although they are not as good as Dafu now, they each have their own strengths. Just let them take charge of various parts according to their strengths.It's just that it's inevitable to be in a hurry at the beginning, but you can always adapt after a long time.Because of this, Chang Xisheng was so busy that his feet didn't touch the ground. When the people under him could take over, Chang Xisheng lost a lot of weight.

However, because of this, he has learned a lesson, not to give too much power to one person, but to actively train new people.You can't let some people feel that they are unique and must be him, and then rely on this to run rampant.

Not long after the literacy campaign started, Song Wancheng was about to leave Taoyuan Village to go to the capital to prepare for the exam.Because the future is unknown, and the consumption in the capital is too high, parents, wives and children still stay in Taoyuan Village.

With the help of people from Taoyuan Village to take care of him, Song Wancheng has no worries.

The past few years really made Song Wancheng feel a little bit reluctant, especially now that his son and daughter are around his knees and he has a pair of twins, it has even worn down his fighting spirit.This is also the reason why he wants to leave this comfortable environment. He still has his ambitions to realize, but if he stays in this environment any longer, he will probably be lazy in his struggle.

"My parents, wife and children will be entrusted to you, please take care of them," Song Wancheng said sincerely, and made a deep bow to Chang Xile.

Chang Xile turned sideways and helped him up, "You and I are brothers, why be so polite, don't worry, I will take good care of uncles, aunts, sister-in-law and nephews."

Song Wancheng naturally believes that Chang Xile will take good care of her family, "With you here, I can rest assured. This time I will definitely win the toad palace and return with glory. I will definitely celebrate with Brother Chang at that time!"

It is rare for Song Wancheng to be so flamboyant, and he is usually quite modest and introverted, which shows that he is very confident in this scientific examination.

"No matter what the result is, you and I are brothers, as long as you come back, there will be good wine and food to welcome you."

Although Chang Xile wanted to follow his words to encourage him, but just in case, she still had to leave a way out.The imperial examination is also unpredictable. What was originally a sure thing turned out to be wrong. This kind of thing happens every time in the exam.

Song Wancheng patted him on the shoulder with a smile, spoke a few words with his family, and then boarded the boat and left.

So far, farewell, goodbye is several years later.

Although Chang Xile sighed a little, she didn't feel much about it. Song Wancheng was never someone who would stay in a small village all the time. If that was the case, Chang Xile would have to lament about wasting talent.As long as the other party can live a good life, even if they don't see each other, they don't feel regretful.He had expected such a day a long time ago, although he was a little lost for a while, he soon recovered.

Chang Xile and Chang Yu returned to the commercial street and met an old acquaintance.Seeing the woman with a woman's bun in front of her, the memory of her original body flooded back, Chang Xile was slightly taken aback, but she recovered quickly in just a moment.

The person who came was his ex-fiancee——Qian Xuerou.

Qian Xuerou squatted down to salute, "The two Chang masters are well."

Qian Xuerou's posture was obviously deliberately waiting for him, and he couldn't ignore it.

"Miss Qian."

Qian Xuerou smiled slightly, "I was married as a woman before, so I don't deserve that title."

Although Qian Xuerou looks older than her actual age now, she is neatly tidied up. Even though she is just dressed as an ordinary woman, she can still tell the difference.

After all, she was taken care of by the Qian family, even though she has gone through ups and downs, she still has the demeanor of a lady, and she has a good face.It is the most beautiful time, originally in full bloom, but because of the vicissitudes of the eyes, it is more attractive because of this.

Although Chang Xile didn't pay much attention to the Qian family's decline, if he wasn't worried that the other party would be a monster, he wouldn't even bother to look at it.The Qian family has today, and he also played a role in fueling the flames.If he hadn't teamed up with the Shen family before, making the Qian family's living space in Taoyuan County less and less, the Qian family might not have lost so badly.

Their foundation is in Taoyuan County, and it is still possible to stand up.But with Chang Xile, the Qian family was completely unable to make a comeback.

The Qian family had to blame for such a result. If they had been doing business normally, Chang Xile would not have suppressed it so much.

It's just that Qian Xuerou has a hard life. She was sent out for no reason before, and Chang Xile refused to accept her when she was brought back. Not long after Qian Jin married her to a bad old man who buried half of her body in the soil.

Although Chang Xile didn't deliberately inquire about it, the news spread widely, and everyone was amazed that Qian Xuerou was a hard-working person. If the Qian family hadn't done so badly, she would be Mrs. Juzi now.

Now I can only marry a bad old man who only has some money, and his family background doesn't even have half the ability of the Qian family.How can Chang Xile be young and promising now?Although there are scars on his face, it doesn't look so scary now, at least he is much better than the bad old man.

A good daughter was spoiled like this, and everyone despised the Qian family for being so devoid of conscience that they even cheated their own daughter.But the Qian family not only didn't reflect on it, but also blamed Chang Xile for this matter, saying that if it wasn't for him not wanting to marry, how could their daughter have fallen into such a state.

But no one listened to such words. Who didn't know that Qian Jin looked down on people in the eyes of a dog, and really thought that Chang Xile would be fine if he hurt his face, but now he has suffered retribution.

It's just pitiful for such a beautiful and good-natured girl to be born in such a family.

Chang Xile can probably guess why Qian Xuerou is here. A while ago, he heard that the bad old man had passed away, and he was kicked out of the house by the old man's sons and daughters just after he passed away.The Qian family took Qian Xuerou back again, and it is said that the two families even had a fight.

The sons and daughters over there are powerful, but even if the Qian family loses now, it is not easy to save fuel. In the end, they ended up winning part of the property.

And recently, I heard that Qian Jin is looking for a new husband for Qian Xuerou.In fact, according to Qian Xuerou's conditions, even if it is a second marriage, it's not that she can't find a good husband.But it's too far away from the Qian family's standards, and it must be that she doesn't want to let Qian Xuerou's good card go to waste.

After all, Qian Xuerou's appearance is here.

"Why are you here?" Chang Xi said happily.

"I heard that you can rent a shop to open a shop here. I don't know if there is still one now? Can you rent it to me?" Qian Xuerou paused, and then said: "It's for me, not the Qian family. I went to find someone in charge, about It was because of my embarrassing status that I didn't dare answer me, that's why I took the liberty to stop the two masters, please forgive me."

"Rent a shop?"

"I don't want to hide it from you. My father wants to remarry me, but I don't agree. My father insists on doing it. I want to escape, but a woman is afraid that there will be accidents if I run around. So I want to find a shop here. Firstly, it is for my future livelihood, and secondly, I really want to seek the protection of Master Chang. In Daoxiang County, this is the only place where I can find peace."

When Qian Xuerou said this, her attitude was firm, she was not as weak as her appearance showed.

Chang Xile seemed to be able to find that lively woman who asked her younger brother to hand her a purse and wanted to elope with him again.Or maybe it was the memory of the original body. Although he had no feeling of fascination or special affection for the person in front of him, he couldn't completely ignore it like he would for a real stranger.

Seeing Chang Xile's silence, Qian Xuerou said again: "Master Chang, don't worry, although I am a widow, I am not that shameless. I just thought about it with sincerity, not an excuse. I actually have other thoughts. I just want to find a place to live I will definitely not cause other disputes, and will not appear in front of Master Chang again."

"What kind of business do you want to rent a shop?"

Qian Xuerou's eyes lit up when she heard the words, and she hurriedly said: "I have learned a good embroidery work since I was a child, and I had to be taught by an expert when I came to the mansion. Although I can't say that my craftsmanship is superb, it can still be exchanged for a few coins. I have also saved some private money these years, so I only ask Master Chang to let me have the same opportunity as others to rent a shop, and there is no other request."

Chang Xile did not respond directly, but looked at Chang Yu, "What do you think?"

Chang Yu also knew that the relationship between Qian Xuerou and Chang Xile was subtle for a moment, but it soon dissipated.To him, Qian Xuerou is so uncompetitive now, she can't pose a threat at all, so she just watches from the sidelines.

"She didn't lie." Chang Yu affirmed.

Although he did not directly express his position, this sentence is enough.

But Chang Xile didn't respond directly, and just said: "I am not in charge of the dock affairs. You go to the office to find the supervisor, and he will handle business. If you meet our requirements here, you will naturally pass the application. If not, we will There is nothing that can be done.”

Qian Xuerou was not disappointed when she heard this, but was very satisfied.

She really wanted to start over, and if she couldn't get rid of the entanglement at home, she wouldn't come here to seek embarrassment.But she really can't do anything, it is too difficult for a woman to survive in this world, if she goes to a distant place, she is afraid that she will be kidnapped as soon as she goes out.But if she was in the county, her family could drag her home directly.

Although the rule is to remarry and obey oneself, it is not so easy in reality.It was only here that she could find a sliver of peace, which was a place the Qian family dared not set foot on.

She was indeed begging Chang Xile for her past friendship, but she still wanted to be self-reliant and didn't want to be dependent on others, so it was most suitable for her to get a business.
