Chapter 82 Building a School
Charlotte found a manor in the suburbs of the city, which was more than 10,000 square meters. It was said that it was bought by an official when he was in power in the city.
She went to the governor to ask whether the farm was for sale.
If she rents it, she won't be here and it will be difficult to bargain.
If she could buy it, she could build the school according to her own ideas.
Governor Cao Wenshan immediately agreed to help her find out.
She also left Cao Wenshan 200 kilograms of rice, 200 kilograms of flour, a sheep and 20 kilograms of beef, which was considered as her filial piety for Cao Zhize.
Now Situ Jin has not yet taken office. When she does, she will ask Situ Jin to help everyone who has helped her. This is their destiny. It is also Xia Luo's true idea of being grateful to others.
In the evening, Cao Wenshan came.
He also brought the housekeeper with him.
"I heard that you want to buy a farm?" the butler asked Charlotte directly.
"Yes, do you plan to sell this farm?"
"When the master left, he told me to wait for the buyer here, but the price cannot be reduced by a penny."
"I haven't even asked how much money this farm has, and you're already talking about it."
"Your farm is large, but empty, with few houses, and the land is barren. If you want to live here, you have to build a house, which will cost you more money. If you don't live here, you still have to spend a lot of money on fertilizers and cultivating the land."
"Whether you sell it or not, there are a few other farms nearby that I want to look at. The price is too high, and I don't think it's worth it."
"Before our master left, he told me that if I didn't have 30,000 taels of silver, I wouldn't be able to buy the farm."
"Let me be frank with you. Your farm is worth at most 12,000 taels. Whoever buys it will regret it. If I didn't have a large family, I wouldn't have taken a fancy to your farm."
"I am a servant, and my words do not count. How about this, I will send someone to take a letter to the master to see what he plans to do."
"If you want to sell this manor, then ask your father to come in person. Otherwise, even if we talk for a long time, your words will not count. Let's not waste each other's time. I have to come over to look at several other manors tomorrow."
"How about this, girl? You wait for a day. I'll have someone bring the master over, and then you can talk to him." The butler made an appointment with Charlotte to come over at 15:30 the next day to discuss the matter in detail.
The next day, the butler accompanied his master to the appointment on time.
"Are you the girl who bargained?"
This master was the supervisor of coastal defense. Of course, he didn't know Xia Luo's identity. If he knew, he would never dare to ask for money.
"I bought this farm with the money I earned through decades of hard work. I thought I would rely on it for my retirement, but who knew I would have to go to the General Administration of Customs at my age."
"If you really want to buy it, I will give you 15,000 taels for the sake of Governor Cao. I don't have to worry about it anymore."
Charlotte heard that he was the General Administration of Customs. She asked the old man.
"How much silver did you pay for this farm?"
"When I bought this farm, it was just a wasteland. I built it up bit by bit later. To be honest, I didn't bother with it. In total, I spent about 13,000 taels of silver."
Charlotte saw that the old man was not lying, and also realized that the old man was no longer able to do it.
"How about this, I won't be so stubborn about the price. I'm also doing business. I'll give you thirty-five thousand taels. If you want to sell it, then sell it. If not, I'll find the next buyer." When the old man heard this, he was surprised that the man raised the price himself.
"What are you...?"
"Don't worry about what I think. If you sell us, we'll write a receipt. The governor Cao is here too. Let's go to the government office to register and make a book. I'll give you the silver and we'll be even."
"Sell, sell, sell." The old man was so excited that he didn't know what to say.
They went to the government office to register and finished, and Charlotte gave the silver to the housekeeper. It was all done, but the old man was still in a daze.
Cao Wenshan understands Charlotte's reversal.
Now Situ Jin has transferred all his troops to the coastal defense.
It's time to hire someone. The old man is incorruptible. He deserves respect.
After Charlotte bought the manor, he designed to build a small second floor in front of the manor, separating the area 100 meters behind the building and making it an activity area.
The remaining land was reclaimed and used to grow vegetables. Restaurants needed it, ordinary people needed it, and wealthy families needed it even more.
Xia Luo first asked Liang Sheng’s adoptive father to come and watch the gate.
He also bought four maids and four old women.
To take care of Liang Sheng and his adoptive father's daily life.
The school was named "Innovation College".
Liang Sheng was appointed as the dean, and the retired imperial physician Hong Tao was hired as the honorary dean.
Governor Cao Wenshan was appointed as the honorary president of the school.
Governor Cao Wenshan ordered that all catering positions must undergo training before taking up the post.
The teachers were all talented and righteous men of above the rank of scholar who were transferred from Kyoto by Charlotte.
Ordinary people heard that all the teachers came from Kyoto.
Families with students were sent to the provincial capital to register.
Many of the students in Charlotte Hall were from other places, so she bought the farm next door.
We are planning to build a circle of accommodation for the students.
Charlotte guides Liang Sheng according to modern people's thinking and encourages him to do more good deeds.
New teaching concepts.
New teaching methods.
New teaching thinking.
She gave the design drawings to Liang Sheng and asked him to find a reliable construction team to do the work. Winter was coming, so they had to hurry up and finish the building so that the students could learn knowledge earlier.
There are three days until the Mid-Autumn Festival. Charlotte led everyone to Kyoto.
The four guards drove the carriage quickly and returned to Jingdu Zhuangzi at 3 pm on the Mid-Autumn Festival.
When Charlotte's mother saw her three daughters coming to accompany her, she was so happy that she cried.
"Mom, mom, mom." The three girls called out to their mother in unison.
"Mom, mom." Zimo and Zixuan also called out to Charlotte.
"Zimo, Zixuan, let's go to the palace to visit your grandparents. Your father is in the coastal defense and can't come back, so let's go and have some fun."
"Well, your eldest sister and second sister are here to accompany mother. You take the children there and don't let them down." The old lady was very sensible.
The guards quickly carried the young masters into the carriage. As soon as Charlotte entered the carriage, she felt warm. It turned out that there was a heater in the carriage.
"Peony drives the carriage, and Zisu takes Zimo and Zixuan in the carriage. I also need to get some things for the Imperial Concubine."
Juhua and Fuling took the initiative to sit in the front of the other carriage.
Charlotte symbolically took a few pieces of Qingyun yarn and put them in the carriage. He also took out a Ganoderma lucidum from the space and prepared to nourish the imperial concubine.
The four male guards automatically turned into four secret guards and followed.
Because it was the Mid-Autumn Festival. If it were any other day, the city gates would have been closed long ago.
The city gates were wide open today. The guards drove the carriages and showed the tokens to the gatekeepers. The two carriages drove slowly through the streets of Kyoto.
When they were almost at the gate of the palace, a few beggars suddenly jumped out and stopped the carriage.
"Please be merciful, we are almost starving to death." A beggar with untidy beard and dead skin all over his face said.
"What's going on?" Charlotte lifted the curtain to look.
"Master, they are a group of beggars." Fuling turned around and looked at Charlotte and reported.
"How many people are there in total?" Charlotte didn't know whether to ask Fuling or the beggar.
The beggar was also puzzled. This woman was interesting. She didn’t give him food or money, but she actually asked so many people.
"There are fifteen of us in total." The youngest beggar whispered, lacking confidence.
"Peony, Chrysanthemum and Perilla, you take the children to the palace first. Fuling, come with me."
