Reborn Little Carpenter

Qi Yougen had traveled quite a distance, and two days had passed since Qi Yue asked Uncle Qi to help him find someone to pass on the message to Qi Yougen's return.

It was afternoon when Qi Yougen came back, and Qi Yue was following Qi Quancheng to survey the terrain on the mountain next to Qi's old house.

The old house of the Qi family faces the river with its back against the mountain, and there are large terraces and river beaches in front of it. It is a place suitable for people to live in, but the yards of the old house of the Qi family cannot accommodate too many people. Fortunately, it bypasses the slightly raised east side. Going down the hillside, there is a half-big mountain depression.

Originally, no one came in because the road was inconvenient, and there were still trees and weeds inside, but now Qiyue plans to build a college here, and this place is just right.

After all, the old house of the Qi family is not only the old house of the Qi family, but also the ancestral hall of the Qi family. It used to teach a few children in another courtyard, live in it, and be a workshop. place, but if you want to leave the academy here it won't work.Not to mention that too many people will disturb the cleanliness of the ancestors at that time, and once there are sacrificial activities, it will also disturb the students in class.

"The gate of the academy faces the big river, the hillside here is pushed away to make way for the road, and the sand is transported to fill the land." Qi Yue said to Qi Quancheng.

According to what he said, Qi Quancheng thought about it in his head: "Then the paper mill and the oil mill need to be moved?" Not to mention that the oil mill of the Qi family is in the old house, even the paper mill is also in the academy of Qiyuehua. within range.

Qi Yue obviously thought about this problem: "The woolen workshop is vacant these days, let's move there first." After thinking about it, he said: "After that, I will buy the land between the woolen workshop and the carpentry workshop. Put all the workshops there, do you think it is feasible?"

The terrain of that place is relatively flat, and besides the Qingwu River, the transportation is convenient. It is indeed a good place, but there are many good fields from there to the carpentry workshop. I am afraid that the village will not be able to pass the fields to the workshop. , Qi Quancheng said so.

Qiyue doesn't have the idea that land is precious. In modern times, few people really lived on a few acres of land at home, but people are different at this time. Taking good care of them, everyone feels that no matter how much they earn outside, they are not as solid as the harvest in the field. If it is an inferior field, it is fine, and that piece is fertile soil, not to mention whether the villagers are willing to buy it. If I really bought the whole area to fill up the workshop, I am afraid that I will be drowned by the villagers' spitting stars.

Thinking of Qi Yue silently supporting his forehead, he said helplessly: "Forget it, let's talk about this later, you will start moving in a few days, and when you finish moving, you will start construction here."

By the time Qi Yue and Qi Quancheng ran up and down the old house to have a general look at the place to start construction—by the time they finished work and returned home, Qi Yougen was already drinking tea and waiting at home.

— Hearing that Qiyue was going to build an academy, he was surprised at first and then excited. He also knew that the people in the nearby village wanted to send their children to study in his private school. From his perspective, he naturally understood that if this academy was really established , For the Qi family, it is a great thing that will last forever.

So just after listening to Qi Yue's words, Qi Yougen immediately nodded firmly and said: "Don't worry about this, I will immediately arrange people to help you build the academy."

Qi Yue smiled and said: "Then I will leave this matter to Dad."

Qi Yougen waved his big hand, "It's easy to say!"

Building a college is not just about building a house. Qi Yougen said yes, and Qi Yue went to the carpentry workshop to find two apprentices: "How much work do you two have on hand?"

Qi Xiaolei stopped the plane in his hand, thinking that the master was finally planning to come back to help them, and quickly replied: "Many, the order has been scheduled for more than half a year."

Qi Yue frowned: "Why so many?"

Qi Xiaolei suppressed the little pride in his heart, and said reservedly: "This is already the result of our picking and picking."

Qi Yue clicked his tongue. Originally, he planned to let two apprentices make desks and beds for the college, but it looked like it was not going to work.

He beckoned to Qi Xiaolei and said, "You and Wen Hao go to several carpentry workshops nearby to order some desks and beds and cabinets like the ones in your house." Qi Xiaolei and Zheng Wenhao are still there Sleeping in a room, the bed is a simple single bed.

Qi Xiaolei asked in a daze: "How much do you want?" As for the bed cabinet, he didn't know why he wanted it, but when it came to the desk, he knew it. It should be for the private school.

"Five hundred," but Qi Yue also knew that with the current level of labor production, five hundred sets of tables, chairs, bed cabinets would not be easy to make, so he added: "There is no rush to get all of them, but at least three months before the Mid-Autumn Festival." One hundred." Qi Yue is not sure how many students there will be, but he thinks that the current population density is small, and there are not many families who can send their children to private schools, so three hundred should be enough.

After explaining about the tables and chairs, Qi Yue went to the printing workshop next door. Originally, the private school was closed, and the private school journal did not publish any new ones, but the previous "Story Book" sold well in Feng'an County, so I decided to print more Take it out and buy it.Qi Xiangshi is currently in charge of the printing workshop, and he is leading two people to work in the printing workshop. Qi Yue told him about printing textbooks, a book for literacy, and a book for arithmetic.

After hearing this, Qi Xiangshi replied: "If you're not in a hurry, little brother, we can finish printing the "Story Book" before printing it?"

Qi Yue nodded: "Don't worry," he said he wanted to print textbooks, but now there is no trace of textbooks, of course they can't be printed, he has to sort out the books first, and there are too many of these two things, and he will definitely not be able to print them again. Printed with movable type, it needs to be printed in block.

Thinking of this, and seeing Qi Xiangshi's ink-soaked fingers, Qi Yue said, "Would you like to learn lettering?"

"Lettering?" Qi Xiangshi didn't realize it for a moment.

Qi Yue explained to him: "It's just these blocks, and I will engrave some pages in the future. I-personally will definitely be too busy. If you learn it, you can come and help me, and I will give you a raise."

When Qi Xiangshi heard the words - hi, - the two people beside him also cast envious glances at him, but Qi Xiangshi didn't notice this, so he quickly replied: "Of course I am willing."

Qi Yue nodded: "Alright then, I'll come to you after I finish my work."

"it is good!"

Qi Yue explained a few more words and left from the printing workshop. Before he could go far, he heard the envious voices of the other two from inside. Qi Yue felt a little helpless. After all, engraving is time-consuming and troublesome. It is definitely good to have more people, but first, he does not have so much energy to teach three at the same time. Second, it takes a lot of time to learn engraving. People are needed.If they really want to learn, they can only wait until they are busy and let Qi Xiangshi teach them.

The classroom, desks, and books have all been settled, and the rest is to find a teacher.

With more students, teachers also need to increase. Apart from the original Qi Erbo, Qi Yue's favorite target is Qi Yuanyang. Before that, he worked as a teaching assistant in a private school for more than a year.

But when he came to the door, he learned that Qi Yuanyang was going to the north with his uncles.

Qi Yue: "..."

Suddenly remembered that Qi Yuanyang wanted to go out to run a business. The reason why he went to a private school as a teaching assistant before was because his father Qi Niannian felt that he was too young and kept him at home. Now that Qi Yuanyang has grown up, Running a business is not as dangerous as before, and there is no reason to stop it.

"Uncle, if you really can't find anyone, you might as well ask Yuan Lu." Qi Yuanyang looked at the obviously disappointed Qi Yue and suggested: "Yuan Lu has been learning stories at home all this time."

Qi Yuanlu is only 13 this year, he is a bit young, Qi Yue frowned and loosened his eyebrows, he can't be a teacher at a young age, but he can be a teaching assistant.

Qi Yue went to find Qi Yuanlu, and Qi Yuanlu was sitting at the desk writing a story as Qi Yuanyang said, and after hearing that Qi Yue asked him to be a teaching assistant in the college, he agreed.

"Brother Yang is still at home, so I can take this time to ask him for advice." Qi Yuanlu said.

Qi Yue heard that he was quite concerned about the teaching assistant, and Lao Huai happily helped him read the newly written story.

It was getting late when I went to the second uncle's house, and the matter of the teacher had not yet been settled, Qi Yue was thinking about going to the county seat to ask Qi Youwang tomorrow, but before Qi Yue went to the county seat, Qi Youwang had already returned by himself .Are you busy with the county seat?When he ran into Qi Youwang head-on, Qi Yue thought subconsciously.

He thought so and asked.

Qi Youwang shook his head: "I have something else to do when I come back." Then he saw himself standing at the gate of the yard waving to him, and walked over quickly.

Seeing his anxious appearance, Qi Yue didn't stop him, but just yelled from behind: "Second Uncle, I'll look for you tomorrow morning, I have something to do!"

Qi Youwang looked at him and shook his hand: "Got it!"

Qi Youwang came back because of Ji Ying and their master. Before returning to the village, Qi Youzhuang took Ji Ying out to pay homage to his master. Before their master was injured, Qi Youwang rescued them. Although he taught them martial arts , but he didn't even want to say his name, he only said that his surname was Zhou, so there was only one surname on the tombstone, and the Qi family also knew nothing about his origin and life experience.

Ji Ying said that he was an old friend of Master Zhou, so some of the things he said could be matched. Qi Lao San was willing to bring him back to pay homage to Master, but it didn't mean he was willing to have Master's tomb moved.

Qi Youwang came back this time for this matter. Although Master Zhou treated Qi Laosan the best in the past and only recognized Zhou Laosan as his apprentice, the other brothers also learned from Master Zhou's martial arts. Treating him as a master, this matter cannot be decided by one person, so even if many things in the county cannot be left behind, when he heard that Qi Yougen had returned to the village, Qi Youwang also rushed back from the county .

Qi Yue only heard the news from Liu Fang when he got home. Qi Yougen had already gone to Qi Youfeng's house. Master Zhou was the master of the four brothers of the Qi family. , I can't say anything, anyway, no matter what the result of their father's uncle and Ji Ying's discussion, they just follow suit as their disciples.

Instead of worrying about this, he might as well get out the textbooks earlier, spread the paint on a blank sheet of paper, and recall the textbooks he used before while grinding.
