Through the troubled times and famine, I just want to farm peacefully

After Wu Xingwang took Deng Kang and his servant away, the others left one after another to do their own things. Lin Yiheng was tidying up the various booklets on the table.

Lin Yinan tilted his head and looked at him, "Brother, do you want to go with me to see Master Su?"

Yun Mo was about to leave. The six hundred new recruits who were recruited after the New Year had to be trained intensively. He had a feeling that the Yu family would not give up. Hearing that Lin Yinan was going to see Su Kunliang, and Su Yunzhi must be there, he began to worry.

"Anan, I'll go with you." He looked at him eagerly, with a hint of anticipation in his eyes.

"My second brother didn't come back for the New Year. My second sister-in-law and A Ding miss him. How about you go and bring him back to replace him?"

"Not yet. The six hundred new recruits on the mountain still need to be trained intensively, and I can't leave here either."

Yun Mo ran away in a panic as if his butt was on fire. He wanted to stay with his wife and children for more time and did not want to go to Xihe County.

Lin Yiheng picked up the booklet and was about to leave. Hearing this, a fatherly smile appeared on his face. It seemed that his sister had found a way to get along with her brother-in-law.

"Brother, don't set the price too low. If you don't understand, ask Wu Xingwang." Lin Yinan did not forget to remind him.

"Boss Wu asked his housekeeper to come over to help us."

Lin Yiheng nodded. He decided to ask Manager Wu for more advice. He couldn't bother An Nan with everything. They had to grow up quickly so that they could share her burden.

"That's good."

After leaving the county government office, the secret guard told Lin Yinan that Su Kunliang took his three sons to school.

Zhou Linzhao, a bookworm who spent all day editing books, heard that Su Kunliang had arrived, so he got up early the next day to prepare breakfast and invited Master Su to come and have a meal with him.

When Su Yunzhi got up, he asked him to go and invite the person over.

Although the inn also provides meals, Zhou Linzhao feels that it would be more sincere to prepare them himself.

The Su family's father and son came over to have a simple meal and then visited the school.

During this time, Su Kunliang and Master Dao were talking while looking at the neatly arranged tables and chairs in the school.

"The school looks quite big, is there a lot of students?"

"About forty or fifty people."

"Hey, there are quite a few people?"

"Yes, under An Nan's mandatory requirement, children under the age of ten living in the county must go to school."

"Will the people agree to this? After all, tuition is a considerable expense?"

Master Dao grinned and said, "How could they not agree? The school does not charge tuition fees and provides two meals a day."

"The county government pays for the money?"

"That's right, Anan said that education should start from childhood. No matter how hard it is, children should not suffer, and no matter how poor it is, education should not be neglected."

Su Kunliang was slightly stunned. What he said made so much sense. He fell into deep thought.

Master Dao looked at him in silence and continued, "I heard that Anan was going to build a college, so I specially asked you to come and help."

"But where can we get so many students?"

My father proposed to the noble families in Cangwu County to build an academy, which would involve several girls from the Su family. However, there has been no follow-up to this matter so far.

Aristocratic families with some knowledge would build a clan school in their clan and invite teachers to teach the children of the clan. They would not spend a penny on the people under their rule.

"Anan didn't say that. You can ask her later."

The two were chatting casually when Lin Yinan arrived at the school.

After the three of them exchanged greetings, Lin Yinan got down to business.

"Master Su, I want to build an academy in Longtan, and I would like to invite you to be the dean. What do you think, Master Su?" Lin Yinnan smiled. Perhaps it was because she had a child that made her look much softer, less cold and ruthless than she had been when she fled south.

Su Kunliang was a little surprised and didn't react for a while.

"If you have any requests for tuition or anything like that, you can ask me." Lin Yinan knew the plight of the Su family in Cangwu County, and fearing that he would be embarrassed to ask, he smiled and said, "Of course, if you are willing to come, in addition to the tuition, I can provide you with a house to live in in the city."

"What about the source of students? Where do they come from?"

In fact, Su Kunliang has always been worried about this problem. If there are no students, he would feel guilty for taking these tuition fees.

Last night, I learned from the eldest son's few words that Lin Yinan invited him here with the intention of helping him.

As far as he knew, Longtan had been deserted for many years before Lin Yinan and his friends came.

Next, Lin Yinan explained to him the main purpose of building this academy.

The purpose of the college that Longtan is going to build is not scientific research, but mainly to cultivate various technical talents.

"I believe you also know that Master Su can make rice paper from discarded sugarcane residue. Next, we will use this paper to print books."

"Cangwu County and the South have been called the Southern Barbarian Land since ancient times because they are far away from the prosperous Central Plains. The Central Plains highly respects etiquette, loyalty and filial piety, but the people in the South have not been educated in all of this. Knowledge in the South is only in the hands of the aristocratic families..."

Books not only make people wise, but also enlighten them.

Su Kunliang, who came from a scholarly family, was relatively familiar with Cangwu County and the South. The people here were generally illiterate, there were few private schools outside, and even fewer people could afford to attend private schools.

The common people were illiterate, and the grain they grew every year was exploited to the point where they could not even fill their stomachs, while the wealthy families who possessed knowledge became extremely wealthy.

Therefore, the South is called the barbarian land for a reason, as the South is very poor and the people there are uncivilized.

After hearing what Lin Yinan said, Su Kunliang was shocked. "You want to compete for the world?"

Lin Yinan smiled and shook his head. "No, I don't have any ambition to dominate the world. I just want to make sure the poor people who follow me have enough food to eat. Since we have chosen the South and will live here for generations, I want to manage this place well."

The Central Plains was engulfed in war, and heroes rose up to fight for the world.

Lin Yinan knew very well that this period of turmoil would last for a long time and that the entire Chinese people would suffer.

She has a small heart and just wants to stay in a corner to grow herself stronger and protect the people she wants to protect.

If they want to develop in the South, they must let all the aristocratic families know their strength. They are not people who can be easily flattened or rounded, or swallowed up by any random person.

To take a step back, even if the world is stable in the future, talented young people can become officials and go out into the world, which will also be beneficial to them.

Lin Yinan looked at Zhou Linzhao, Master Dao, and the four brothers of the Su family who were drying books in the yard.

"Scientific research is not the only way out, but it is a very important turning point, like my brother, Zhou Linzhao and others, and Master Su."

She had said everything she needed to say, and seeing that Su Kunliang was lost in thought, she picked up the tea on the table and took a sip.

Lin Yinan's remarks had a great impact on Su Kunliang. What she said was contrary to her father and even the entire Su family.

The Su family became famous thanks to the countless children they trained who became officials.

Even after arriving in Cangwu County, my father still insisted on his original intention. Maybe they were all wrong?
