I am happy to be a mother in a famine year, I have a system to farm the land

If this catastrophe had not been caused by Lizheng, the entire Xiaozhang Village would have been in chaos, and many people died of starvation.

Zhu Qiuqi also admires this old man who is over half a century old. His leadership and decisiveness also make Zhu Qiuqi feel that this is a very good partner.

"Since this is the case, do you know how the magistrate is a high-ranking official?"

"Of course it's a test for talent, a test for juren."

Someone in the crowd yelled, but those words also made the person who was still staring at Zhu Qiuqi just now, and the person who asked Zhu Qiuqi to give them an explanation, to be dumbfounded.

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, and seemed to understand something for a while, but the impression in their minds was very vague.

Seeing this, Zhu Qiuqi didn't urge everyone.

Just beckoning Zhang Chenchuan to get the pen, ink, paper and inkstone, Zhang Chenchuan was also excited when he saw Zhu Qiuqi's expression.

He understood what his mother said just now. Only by studying hard can one be a scholar, and one can be an official only by studying for a scholar and a candidate.

Everyone is too tired to work with physical strength, so he might as well choose another path...

Zhu Qiuqi did not expect that her elder son would hear her words of persuasion, let alone Zhang Chenchuan understood her words at such a young age.

"Uncle Lizheng, please write your name on this piece of paper."

Everyone looked at each other in dismay. Although Li Zheng understood Zhu Qiuqi's intentions, he also knew that Zhu Qiuqi was really taking care of him.

Seeing that Zhang Chenchuan had polished the ink and put it in his hand, Lizheng finally wrote down his name with a brush.

Zhu Qiuqi looked at everyone's puzzled looks, and motioned for the person who had just shouted the loudest to come forward.

The other party didn't know what Zhu Qiuqi wanted to do, but when he saw the pen and paper in Zhu Qiuqi's hand, he felt inexplicably nervous.

"Okay, you write your name here too."

The man who had an angry face just now had beads of sweat dripping from his forehead.

"Qiu Qi, this... I can't write this either."

Zhu Qiuqi looked at everyone in the crowd, "Which one of you can write your own name?"

There were two people who raised their hands, but when the other party saw the contrast between himself and Li Zheng himself, his face flushed with embarrassment.

Yes, they do know how to write some characters, but compared to the characters written by Li Zheng, these characters are simply children's fonts.

Zhu Qiuqi seemed a little embarrassed to see everyone, but she didn't break it.

"Okay, since everyone knows that only Lizheng can do this job, don't hide it from Uncle Lizheng. And if there is no Uncle Lizheng, we will not be able to avoid this natural disaster."

Everyone nodded, they respected Li Zheng very much.

And what Zhu Qiuqi said was right, if it wasn't for Youli in their village, no one would know what would have happened.

Among other things, if Li Zheng hadn't ordered the closure of the village that day with a strong attitude, their relatives would probably have come to the door long ago.

Those lotus roots were all kept alive by their little Zhangzhuang. If those relatives knew about it, how could their family survive.

Thinking of this, the person who yelled the loudest immediately walked in front of Li Zheng, and saluted Li Zheng respectfully.

"Uncle Lizheng, I'm sorry. Just now... just now we fell apart. Qiu Qi was right. You won't get ten cents more easily than us."

There was one person who started, and the rest nodded.

Someone also stood by Li Zheng's side like the first person, apologizing to Li Zheng.

Li Zheng looked helpless at seeing everyone like this.

These people are all his juniors, and he accepts this gift, but he hopes that everyone will not feel any burden in their hearts.

"You must have understood what Qiu Qi meant. If we want our children to be successful, we must let them study."

It's not like Li Zheng had never persuaded everyone to let the children in the family study, but unfortunately no one was willing to pay for it, saying that reading was useless.

The reason for this is that the road to the imperial examination is difficult. Now Zhu Qiuqi has used practical actions to prove to them that reading and literacy is not only the road to the imperial examination. Presumably these people have other ideas at this time.

Everyone nodded, but did not speak.

Li Zheng saw everything in his eyes, and he was not in a hurry, just waiting for everyone to come to him in the future.

After all, Zhu Qiuqi has put the real benefits of reading and literacy in front of these people, so she is not afraid that they will not be tempted.

Seeing this, Zhu Qiuqi not only sighed.

Originally, she thought that with the example of Lizheng, even if everyone would not agree immediately, they would show more.

Looking at it now, the preferential power of her ten cents is still a bit small.

Zhu Qiuqi went to Qingshui County to see it before, and the people who were looking for work in those shops were also looking for people who could read and write.

In order for the children of Xiao Zhangzhuang to have a better future, Zhu Qiuqi thinks it is better for them to read and read.

Even if you don't want them to take the imperial examination, you can still have a survival skill in the future.

It is unlikely that when the catastrophe reappears in the future, everyone can only watch the crops in the field, but there is nothing they can do.

This natural disaster has taught everyone a lot of lessons. Zhu Qiuqi thinks that if you give everyone some time, these people must be able to figure it out.

"Li Zheng, I have something I want to talk to you about."

A woman standing in the crowd suddenly stood up.There is hope in the eyes looking at Lizheng.

"What? You are..."

Li Zheng looked at the woman with a somewhat embarrassed expression, and his head also knew that she might not want to say it in front of everyone, so Li Zheng sighed, but he didn't make things difficult for her.

"In the afternoon, you can come home and talk."

When the woman heard Li Zheng's words, she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Zhu Qiuqi saw that many people were here today, so she raised her hand to signal everyone to be quiet.

"Okay, everyone, be quiet. Since everyone is here today, I will tell you about my idea of ​​finding someone to do things this time."

Everyone became excited when they heard Zhu Qiuqi's words.

"Qiu Qi, just speak up if you have something to say, there is no need to be polite to us."

"That is, if you have any request, we will listen."

Zhu Qiuqi felt helpless seeing everyone like this.

But for some reason, it made her feel at ease.

"Actually, it's not about other things, it's about everyone's food."

"Everyone knows that I'm looking for a lot of people this time. The family can't provide food for everyone. After all, my mother, sister-in-law, and elder sister are too busy."

Although everyone was sorry, they nodded in understanding.

After all, there are so many of them, no matter how much food the Zhang family has, it is not enough for them to eat.

"However, in order to give everyone a benefit, the salary has been increased to twelve cents a day. What do you think?"
