Jia Huan's rebirth and revenge

Feeling that he has a new method that can effectively reduce expenses, Jia Xun feels at ease now. Immediately after Brother Xing saw the whole set that looked a little old but was well preserved and tidy, his eyes lit up, and he hurried Rushing into Jia Xun's study room, he couldn't help asking while flipping through the pages:

"Second brother, where did you get this book? Why haven't I seen it before? Well, last time the master said that he should read more history books, saying that reading more will enlighten his wisdom."

Jia Xun's head was full of black lines. This second child or something made people feel uncomfortable no matter how he listened. Although this is not very pleasant to hear, it is actually better than calling him a son. After enduring it, Jia Xun simply pretended that he didn't hear it, and just returned to the question:

"It was only a few days ago. Look, it's still old. I found it from the side of the paper mill in the town. It seems to be the collection of a master of the paper mill. His son is useless and ruined all the things in the house. It’s almost done, and I wanted to find a place to sell it, so I bought it for three taels of silver, and it looked neat, and there was no shortage of one book, I reckoned that it might be a set that was printed directly when it was printed.”

Because Jia Xun always has a lot of books, so he has learned to be good now. The excuse of the prodigal son of a rich family has begun to expand to a certain extent. People who came to the book, no matter what their status or economic level, used it once. Fortunately, he himself has always been more diligent in going out, and no one doubted that he came and went. Dazed, in order to find a good book at an affordable price, I dare to go anywhere.

"You still have a way. Indeed, this is really possible. Why didn't I think of this move? It seems that it is better to walk more. Isn't this another big bargain? I heard that if this book is in the bookstore, what will happen?" It also costs about ten taels of silver, but this is still a privately engraved book, if it is officially engraved, I am afraid it will not be less than 30 taels."

Brother Xing looked through it for a long time, and it was really fun, and then he remembered that he was going to pack his things and go out to sea. He looked at the sky and saw that it was already bright, and said:

"Hurry up and tidy up. We're going to go to sea today. It's spring. We're very busy this year. We have to pack up the dowry of the fish girl."

"Didn't you just share 30 taels of silver? I think it should be enough. This time, mother will not spend all of it. Anyway, I should leave some money for the eldest sister."

Having said that, Jia Xun still kept his hands and feet, and started to walk out while packing up his books.

"It's not that you don't know, mother, you can't save money if you have a little money. I also asked your sister-in-law to help save money. When you don't return to our house and earn money, you can save [-] to [-]%. I think you can always get it when you come." Give me some decent box money."

Sister-in-law?Jia Xun paused, this Xiao Miao is indeed a good and smart person, just look at the dowry for Yu Niang, she knows exactly where to put herself, she is more sober than Wang Xifeng.With her watching at home, maybe my mother can shrink her hands and feet, so that she won't be as lavish as before.

"This is also a way. I'll also try to save some. Anyway, I always have to add makeup when the time comes."

"How old are you, what do you want to do so much, if you have the ability to save money for your own house, then save it well, it will always cost money to go to scientific research in the future."

"Speaking of the scientific examination, brother, you have finished all your elementary studies now. Didn't the master say that as long as you consolidate your first or second, you can start reading the serious Four Books and Five Classics? Hurry up and try next year? I heard Going to the exam is just a five-person bond, and it costs two hundred papers."

"Isn't it early next year? I'm not sure that it will be done in one go, but you can do it, just your handwriting, maybe the county magistrate will let you pass it."

"I think it's time for our county magistrate to be promoted next year. Before we leave, we should give more honor to our village, which he named himself, and it will also give him more political achievements."

"Let's talk about it, there are still some days left, Yuniang is going to get married next year, everything is going to be rushed together, and I don't know if it will be done by then."

The two brothers started to walk towards the beach as they talked. Along the way, they met many people who were preparing to go to sea just like them.

"Yo, you brothers are so early, Brother Xing, what happened to the village chief's invitation to the master? Have you heard? Our ancestral hall is almost finished."

Not only the brothers Jia Xun are concerned about reading, they are always thinking about it, but other people in the village are also very concerned. Inviting a master to let the children in the village study, the whole village seems to have changed their spirits all of a sudden. Not to mention the rapid construction of the ancestral hall, they are also very concerned about other progress.

Brother Xing is a rare scholar in the village, and everyone likes to get closer and ask more questions. Even if everyone knows a lot of news, they can't help but use this to express their concern.

"Hurry up, I went to the county town to search for it a few times, but our village is too remote, and people don't want to come. Those who have a family and business, who would like to come here to enjoy the sea breeze, but I heard that the village head found it there. A few Tongsheng who wrote at the gate of the Town God's Temple were there. Someone in the family was sick and sold the house, and the one who had no land to live in had already agreed to consider it. He just asked our village to find him a house. What Shu Xiu wanted was quite reasonable. Listen to Liu The pianist said that he is also decent, he is a well-known filial son in the county, and he can do well in his studies, but he is unlucky and cannot be reliable when he catches up with the filial piety period. Putting aside your studies, you don't have to worry about learning. The village chief is planning to discuss with the big guys to see if they can help build a yard. The land is considered to be in the village. The money for the yard is raised by the big guys. , It doesn’t need to be too big, just an ordinary three-room main house, with two side rooms on each side, enclosing a yard and building a backyard where chickens can be raised.”

Brother Xing really knows more than others. He just found out about these news yesterday. The village head is planning to discuss with someone. Now that Brother Xing said it, it can be regarded as a preview for everyone in advance. , Let everyone think about it, so as not to spread it all at once, and everyone feels uncomfortable.

There were four or five people who got together at the front, and if they could ask these questions, they naturally thought that their children could go to school and read and write, even if there were no children in the family, but at the age of ten or so, most of them still had some motivation to make progress, even if they couldn't He is busy studying for the imperial examinations, but he also has a lot of interest in literacy. Not to mention anything else, the brothers of the Jia family have seen their knowledge soar since they were studying. Don't you know?Who would want to go out by themselves and not even know how to settle accounts?

So, when Xing Geer said that, someone immediately agreed.

"The land is in the village. To build a house, we just need to get some soil embryos, cut a few trees for beams and pillars, and the big guys put in a little effort. It's not a problem, but it's all set up. How much does it cost to hire a craftsman? Such a small yard is estimated to be only five taels of silver. If the big guys share it, the family will only pay less than five hundred yuan, which is fine. If the wages given can allow us to use fish and other rations, it will be even better. Less, give some fish and some food every day, don’t need to give money directly, I guess it’s easy to build a second entrance in the village.”

This is really telling the truth. It’s spring, and the boats of each family have started to go to sea. The daily catch is not a small number. Now each family has a field. Although it will not be able to directly produce food for a while, but this There is no problem with growing vegetables or anything. When each family was doing seafood business in winter, they had money and kept a lot of food at home, as well as the whale meat that was just divided a few days ago. It's true that the family is tight, if it's just these things, and it doesn't cost money, everyone is willing to do so.

Other people who listened also nodded, and Dashi from Master Mo also said:

"My family has a lot of siblings, and there must be more to be sent to the school. Brother Xing, I don't know how much this book will cost, so I can let my father start saving money."

Since the children of their family exchanged tourmaline for money for the first time, they have been thinking about studying, but this reading is always after basic necessities, so all the money was spent on building houses and buying land. With money, Mo Da just kept thinking about how to expand the family business so that his children would not have to suffer from poverty in the future, but he put the matter of studying in the back of his mind. After being educated, this matter was naturally brought up again. For this, the children in the family gathered all the pocket money they had earned so hard in the past, so that they would not be pulled down when the time came, so that they could learn to read and study. As the eldest brother, he naturally wanted to help.Not to mention him, even Da Niu secretly hid a little of the money that Mo Da gave him to marry his wife, just to let his younger brothers study.So the question right now is very to the point.

"What kind of pen and paper book did you use at the beginning? At the beginning, my second son and I just memorized the book, and then wrote it on the ground with branches. , write on the table, wait until the characters can be written decently, then practice with waste paper and soy sauce water, and wait until the waste paper can be seen by people, then start to buy paper, pen, ink and inkstone. Otherwise, I don’t know how much wasted The money is gone, as for the books, I have them at home, and when the time comes, I will spend a dozen yuan to buy some paper, and just copy them at my house."

Righteousness, this saves a lot of expenses for the big guys, and the method given is very applicable, almost all the people in the village are applicable, even those who don’t prepare bouquets and go to school, according to this method, can also Being able to read and write, even if the writing is ugly, but as long as you learn it like this, it is better than not being able to read.

So when Brother Xing said this, everyone was happy, especially those in their early twenties, who were even more cheerful.

"I still think about my age, I have already married a wife, and I still go to school. It's really embarrassing. If you say so according to Brother Xing, our family only needs to go to one or two children, and take what we have learned home. Said, can I also read and write? I don’t want to be admitted to be a master in the future, but I can read a notice when I go to the city, understand the account book, and be able to count.”

"No, I think so too. It's okay for children who can't work at home to go to school, but if we all go, wouldn't there be no one going to sea? This is a good way, and this way saves money, Brother Xing , you are really smart."

Everyone is happy, and Jia Xun is also happy. If this is the way it is now, doesn't it mean that everyone in our village will be able to read and write in the future?Then this village is really up.

You know, these days, the rural situation is the most serious. If you are promising and don't help the elders in your hometown, it is simply a typical example of ungratefulness and will be cast aside. As long as there is a person with a reputation in this village, then No matter who is in this village, if you are wronged, you have the obligation to help out. This is the unspoken rule of this era.And the more people who study, the higher the probability of this talented person, and the higher the status of this talented person, the future of this village in the county will also be more and more important in the eyes of other people , It is even possible to reach the point where as long as you know your reputation outside, no one will bully you.

Think about the Jia family, why are those people who are attached to the Jia family so arrogant?She doesn't have any status, even some food is a problem, but after Jia Yuanchun became a concubine, what kind of face does she have?And those servants of the Jia family, why are those stewards more powerful than ordinary officials?Why has there been a saying of the seventh-rank official in front of the prime minister since ancient times?And this is actually the same place.
