Three points are destined, seven points depend on face

Sure enough, look at it, how long has it been? Now people are working in workshops, restaurants, and shops. Now, we actually want to build a school! This girl, I have to say, is really visionary!

Is it... that Xia Chuntao can also be asked to give advice to his village to see if there is any business that can be done? Not to mention comparing with Daxi Village, if you can be better than other villages, you will be satisfied!

Of course, those who are happy are the villagers of Daxi Village.

Building a school is a big deal!

I heard that Xia Chuntao's school is different from others. Some are there to take the exams for scholar examinations, some are to work in accounting offices, and there are even others... who specialize in making tools. This is so strange!

Can someone who makes tools also be called a scholar?

In any case, the school is located in our Daxi Village, so it will be very convenient for the children in our village to go to school!

Xia Chuntao approached Lao Jin, who had previously decorated "Jinshiju" for him. These days, craftsmen are building and decorating houses, but the classification is not so clear. Lao Jin's engineering team has built many houses and has considerable experience.

When we renovated "Jinshiju" before, everyone cooperated very happily. Lao Jin would give professional advice on Xia Chuntao's design, and then carry out improvements and construction. The key is that they maintain quality and quantity, and the prices are fair.

Lao Jin went up the mountain and took a look around, "This mountain is not high, the water source is convenient, and the place is nice."

Xia Chuntao secretly cursed: Really? At that time, the village chief also lied to me, saying that it was a wasteland with higher terrain!

Xia Chuntao pointed to the sunny area in the middle and said, "How about building a school here? There are three schools and three courtyards, so don't disturb each other."

"Okay, how many rooms do you plan to build?"

"The imperial examination school is divided into four classes, of which the enlightenment class is larger, the finance school is divided into two classes, and the craftsman school is just one class, but there is also a laboratory room, which requires twice the size of a normal room."

"Build a two-story bookstore around the school. Of course, it would be better if it could be built with a three-story building.

In addition, a canteen will be built, and the remaining space will be used to build a courtyard for gentlemen to stay and a dormitory for students. There must be at least four courtyards where gentlemen stay. The place must not be small, and the interior must be as elegant as possible.

The dormitories for students are built according to ordinary regulations. "

Xia Chuntao originally planned to build her own house here, but now that she wants to build a school, she needs to find another place for the house! After all, land for a house is easy to find, but land for a school is not so easy to find.

In itself, schools cannot occupy such a large area. For example, when enrollment just started, many schools were vacant. The same goes for dormitories. After all, the first wave of students must be mostly children from Daxi Village. They don't need accommodation or even eat in the cafeteria.

But Xia Chuntao has the habit of taking precautions. Now that he has built a school, he must think about the future! Maybe students in the future will be vying to come here to study?

I still have to have ideals, what if they come true, right?

Lao Jin touched his chin, "Your school is quite big!"

Before coming, Lao Jin thought that Xia Chuntao would just build one or two rooms as a school. At that time, he also thought that if he only built a few rooms, he could just ask his apprentices to do it. Looking at it, it doesn’t matter how many rooms there are. It’s equivalent to building a house!

Lao Jin looked at Daxi Mountain behind this mountain, "Chun Tao, in my opinion, build a high wall on this side of Daxi Mountain and use stones. The higher and thicker the better. We built it The room should be as far away from this side as possible."

"What is the reason?"

Lao Jin pointed to Daxi Mountain behind Xia Chuntao, "Our mountain is too close to Daxi Mountain behind us. If there is a wildfire over there or a wild animal accidentally breaks in, it will be troublesome. .”

Xia Chuntao suddenly realized that she only thought about the flatness of this place and the lack of water, and never thought about the safety issue with Daxi Mountain at her back.

"You're right! Just do what you say. Master Jin, you are an expert in this area. Later, you can help me plan these things and we will start construction."

A few days passed by, and Xia Chuntao took the children to Ling Mansion for class again.

On the carriage, Alai pouted, "Mom, I haven't had enough fun yet! How about you give me two more days off?"

Xia Chuntao looked at Anzi, who was reading quietly in the corner, and then at the annoying brat, and sneered, "Okay!"

Alai's eyes widened, "Really? Can you really ask your husband for two more days of leave? Can your husband agree?"

"I'm not just going to take two days off, I'm going to give you a lifetime leave, do you agree?"

Xiaobao on the side covered his mouth and snickered.

Anzi also looked up at Xia Chuntao and smiled silently.

Alai suddenly deflated like a rubber ball that had been inflated.

"Mom, why are you still making fun of me? It makes me happy for nothing."

Xia Chuntao was so worried, why couldn't this stupid kid hear a good word? Is she kidding? This is obviously a joke, right? Even Xiaobao heard it!

Alai is indeed a straight man. I wonder if he can be saved?

Xia Chuntao felt that it was still necessary to save it.

"Look at your elder brother, how did he study? Why didn't he ask for two more days off?"

Alai pursed his lips and muttered, "Then Xiaobao didn't study either."

"Is it appropriate for you to compare with Xiaobao? Xiaobao is younger than you. The key is that they learn faster than you. Tell me, where did you learn? Where did Xiaobao learn?"

Xia Chuntao nodded Alai's little head, "Talent or hard work, which one do you think is better?"

Alai thought for a while and asked Xia Chuntao, "Do I have to take one?"

Xia Chuntao choked.

This stinky kid has quite an out-of-the-box thinking! You give people options, but they don't choose, what can you do?

"Let me put it this way, no matter what you do, if you want to be successful, you must have at least equal parts talent and hard work. Of course, you can live a life without both, but it will not be so comfortable."

Alai seems to understand.

"Let me give you an example. Our cooks at Jinshiju earn two taels of silver a month. The cooks at Zhenweilou earn three taels of silver a month. Ordinary cooks can't earn even one tael of silver a month. What do you think? Why?"

"Well...the cook with three liang is even better!"

"Yes, does that mean that the cook is more attentive and puts more effort into the food, so he can earn so much money?"

Xia Chuntao touched Alai's prickly head and said, "How much effort you put in will be rewarded. If you don't want to work hard, then I don't have any problem with being an ordinary cook. After all, you have to eat by yourself and live by yourself." Pass. Your mother's task is to raise you safely until you are weak. The rest of the way, whether it is good or bad, you have to walk on your own."

It was quiet in the carriage, and the children were lost in thought.

Regardless of whether they understand it or not, Xia Chuntao will instill this awareness from time to time:

No one can rely on you for a lifetime, not even your parents. One day, you have to take your own path and walk alone.
