Niu Laosan laughed and said, "What's the matter, little brat, my lord said that the [-] wen was deliberately earned by the dolls, and now he is unable to promote compulsory education all over the world, so he uses this method to make dolls earn money. They earn tuition."

"Compulsory education?" The people were at a loss for a while.

First it was chicken shit, and then it was compulsory education. Today, they have been exposed to too many new words that they do not understand.

Niu Laosan said with a look of longing: "Compulsory education means that you don't need to spend money to study, and the court will pay for the school to invite the gentleman. There is a big city in the northeast, and now it's done. It's the prince's city..."

Wow, have you done this already?

There was another uproar around, and several old elders murmured: "You have a prince on the left and a prince on the right. This prince pays for the people and treats the people well. Isn't he a saint?"

"Grandpa is right, Wang Ye is a saint, a living saint in this world!"

Niu Laosan had a frenzied look on his face. He looked in the direction of Chang'an and said loudly, "Your Highness once said that his biggest dream in life is to make all the children in the world read."

A soldier next to him stood up and also said loudly: "My lord also said that only when all the children read books, the common people can unlock their wisdom."

Another soldier stood up and said loudly: "The lord said at last that only by accomplishing this major event, the people will not be coaxed and exploited by the aristocratic family..."

Niu Laosan suddenly darkened his eyes and sighed: "It's a pity that compulsory education spends too much money, and even the lord finds it difficult. The lord said that he doesn't have so much money for the time being, and I'm afraid it will take a long time to succeed."

Niu Laosan became more and more frustrated the more he talked, and couldn't help but sighed again.

At this moment, a soldier suddenly said loudly: "Brother Niu, why don't we take out the gold and silver, this money can be used for compulsory education."

Niu Laosan was slightly in a daze, then patted his thigh and said with great joy, "Yes, why didn't I think of it."

His face was very excited, his eyes swept across the crowd, and he said solemnly: "Gold and silver are everyone's reward. If anyone is reluctant to quit, I will never stop him."

"I bother!"

Fourteen comrades uttered their voices together, and sprayed Niu Laosan heavily. "Do you think that you are the only one who stands up for justice, and all the brothers are misers?"

Someone laughed and said: "You must know that I am also an official now, and I have to benefit the villagers under my rule."

Another person said: "You said that if we create compulsory education, will the lord feel great comfort? If the lord sets Niujia Town as an example..."

He didn't continue speaking, but everyone's eyes lit up together.

Chapter 398 The matter of building a town, the hearts of the people

Niu Laosan looked up to the sky and laughed, excitedly said: "If this is true, our Niujia Town will become famous! His grandma is a bear, only ten taels of gold, I don't feel bad at all..."

15 people laughed at the same time, each with an encouraging look.A few elders watched from the side, wondering in their hearts: "These babies have been soldiers for several years, why do they all look like saints?"

"It's the prince, the prince they are talking about, these brats are the prince's personal soldiers, what they learn is the prince's heart..."

The eldest grandfather in the Su Laozhong sighed repeatedly that his eyes were a little cloudy, but there was a brilliance of wisdom in the depths of his eyes.This is an ordinary old man. He has not read books, but the years have given him wisdom, allowing him to guess the key points.

"The old man is now convinced that the prince is really a living saint! Brothers, we Niujia Village will fight for the first place this time. Sanwa said that if we take the first prince, he will come. This old man wants to see this living saint... "

Several old men around looked at each other, their faces also showing longing.

The grandpa suddenly stepped forward tremblingly, coughing and said: "Don't hang around here, old man, go and ring the village bell now, and you also greet the idlers in the village. Sanwazi is now an official, and is The officials who came out of our Niujia Village, their own dolls are in pain, and they all go to greet people, and we will start working today."

This old man is not young, but he does things with the vigor of a rural person. He is the most prestigious elder in the village. As soon as he uttered this sentence, all the people present moved into action.

It's really moving!

But seeing the man squatting on the ground chatting and spanking, he stood up and ran home to find tools for work. The chattering peasant women stopped laughing and ran home to clean up the pots and pans, and then gathered in the village. Come up to the public.

In ancient times, rural areas seldom did big work, and big work was also called public work. Generally, it was projects such as building bridges and paving roads or digging canals. Because the rural areas were poor, they rarely started work.The reason is very simple, the clan cannot control food and drink.

The big work is rarely done, but once you make up your mind, the whole village will join forces, all the household tools and the pots and pans of each family. From today onwards, the whole village will gather together. Young and old work together and eat and drink together, and do not stop until the public work is completed.

During this period, it is guaranteed that no man will be lazy, and no peasant woman will gossip. Even the bare-faced child will find a way to help out and reduce the labor force of the parents as much as possible.

thump—

A melodious and heavy bell suddenly rang over the village. It is said that this bell has been passed down in Niujia Village for several generations. As long as the bell rings, the people in the village will gather.

Men, women and children from all households kept walking on the public square. There were men with sledgehammers and laborers with shovels. All men with tools were looked at by the villagers. Because the countryside was poor, the family could buy a tool. That's it.

The crowd is crowded, and the darkness is overwhelming!

A few old men stroked their beards and said with emotion: "How many years has it been, how many years have we in Niujia Village not done big work? I remember that the last time we did big work was a year of martial arts. At that time, we wanted to repair a ditch, but the result was The whole village has been digging for three months, the clan eats and drinks, and even the little baby can go to the canal to make a bowl of rice."

The eldest grandfather came tremblingly leaning on a wooden stick, his cloudy eyes swept the field lightly, and suddenly said to the old men: "Several old brothers, this time it is the imperial court that pays, this big job must be done well. Beautiful, I can't speak when I'm old, you help Sanwa to shout, he will be an official in the future, you need to give him a prestige..."

"What you want, don't worry, eldest brother. There are a few of us watching, and we guarantee that no one will dare to show Sanwa's face. Although he is very young, he can stand behind the court, and there is a very powerful prince!"

The eldest grandfather's cloudy eyes flashed a hint of wisdom, coughing and saying: "The old man thinks that this prince is an opportunity for Niujia Village, we have been poor for several lifetimes and have not produced a single character, and the prince has helped him to become an official with three babies and a little soldier. There are fourteen dolls from neighboring villages, who used to join the frontier army when their families couldn’t get along, but now they’re all officials…”

He paused slightly when he said this, narrowed his eyes and said, "Although Sanwa is young, he is an official under the prince's hands. I propose that he be included in the clan. After I die, he will be the person who will be the person in charge of the clan."

"What you want, what the elder brother said is reasonable, he should be allowed to join the clan!" Several old men nodded again and again, the rural people were honest and honest, and they agreed to this matter without much detours in their hearts.

The eldest grandpa coughed and pointed at a big stone roller and said: "Now is an opportunity. While everyone in the village is here, let's let Sanwa go up and shout. We need to mobilize for public work, just to give him prestige!"

"What you want, what big brother said makes sense!" Several old men nodded again, and one of them walked up to the third Niu and pushed him to the big stone roller...

……

The old man looked at the people in the field and said loudly: "Some people already know it, and some people may not know it yet. Today, I will take the opportunity to tell you that this is the third child of our village. He came back alive after ten years as a soldier. , is now an official of the imperial court, and will manage twenty surrounding villages in the future..."

When the old man shouted, the noisy voices of the people suddenly stopped, and the old man continued: "Sanwa is the mayor of the town now, no one can call him Sanbiaozi again in the future, but the mayor of Niu, he is the face of our Niu Village, This face can't be lost, do you hear clearly?"

The crowd responded for a while, and an old woman said loudly: "Fourth grandfather, don't worry, we will listen to you! San Biaozi... Oh no, it's Mayor Niu. Mayor Niu brought the copper coins from the court this time. If you want to do a big job for us, Zhuangzi, I see him when he is bare butt, so why can't I support him?"

The old man laughed and scolded, turned his head to Niu Lao San and said, "Baby, while the big guys are here, let's shout!"

Niu Laosan nodded, although he was also born in mud, but after all, he was a fierce soldier who was killed in the sea of ​​​​blood.

"Fathers and fellow villagers!" Niu Laosan shouted loudly, "Actually, there's nothing to shout about, I just want to tell everyone, from today onwards, we will start a big job, to build Zhuangzi into a town, build a town yamen, build a A tax office, and then a public security office, in addition to these three buildings, we have to build a patriotic education university, where the children go to study, and the big guys also need to receive publicity and education.”

He looked at the crowd of people, and then said: "The four buildings I said must be built, and it will cost about [-] yuan. This money is paid by the imperial court, and there is no need to collect money from the clan. Except for the four town government buildings, the imperial court gave There are still [-] yuan of money left. In the past, the village only had to eat and drink for big work. This time, they will pay wages. Strong laborers will be paid a hundred yuan a day, women will be [-] yuan a day. Twenty wen is also given. Those under the age of eight are not allowed to do it, and the prince of my family said that it is not allowed to hurt the little baby..."

This mobilization is more effective than anything else. The people present exploded with thunder, and everyone's face was full of excitement.

Niu Laosan added: "The construction project is too big, not only to build a lot of new houses, but also to build bridges, pave roads, dig mountains and dig ditches. This is a big job that our Niu Village can't eat, and we need [-] surrounding villages to do it together. They are also citizens of Niujia Town, and they also have the right to earn wages.”

"What you want, three... Mayor Niu, you have the final say!" There was a shout from below, and a dozen or so descendants immediately ran out of the village, and they were going to notify other villages to do big work.

Rural management is as simple as that, as soon as the clan speaks, and then gathers the common people to shout, and the big thing is settled.

The people didn't talk too much, just did what they said, but when they saw a few men with sledgehammers jumping out, they said loudly, "Grandma Niu Qi has no children and daughters, and her family is the poorest, so let's demolish her home first."

Whoever demolishes the house first will be built first, and this little thing reveals the honesty and honesty of the rural people.
