Since the establishment of the school, Liang Songzi hadn't made any serious noises for a while, and when he arrived in the capital, there was a small noise every three days, and a big noise every eight days, which lasted for several months.

But the tricks have been tried many times, and if I try again, I am afraid that there will be little noise, so I wrote to Liu Yaoqing.

On the same day, Liu Yaoqing gave an idea to ask Liang Songzi to go to the countryside.

"The food here is not as fresh as in the city, but there are not so many tricks." Liang Songzi was also a young official who had stayed on the mountain in Shanggu Village and was in the same batch of Jinshi as Liang Songzi.

"You don't believe me, how can you not believe Brother Qing?" Liang Songzi was not in a hurry, walking slowly, shaking his folding fan.

"Of course not."

Followed by some servants and small officials, this time going to the countryside is of course not in private, but Liang Songzi used the inspection as an excuse to go out on a business trip!

Outside the capital, the farmers are actually similar to other places, not even as rich as Shanggu Village now, but they are close to the capital.At this time, the fields outside have been planted with peanuts, a lot of corn, and even large pieces of potatoes.

It's just that the potatoes have not yet been unearthed at this time, and only bare fields can be seen.

An imposing group of people approached, all wearing official uniforms. Before Liang Songzi could speak, an old farmer came forward to meet him respectfully. Behind him were the juniors of the old farmer's family. Those who come out are used to doing farm work.

"Has the land been planted?" Liang Songzi asked casually.

"Master Huiguan, they are all planted." The old farmer said respectfully.

"Did everything go well last year? Are they all fed? I heard that some people are still hungry?" Liang Songzi asked again.

The old farmer couldn't help smiling, and he could see that he was really happy, "In the past, all the men in the family had to go to work in the city, and the wives and mothers-in-law farmed the land, and they couldn't save much money by the end of the year. Last year it was very good." , the granary is full, even if you eat three meals a day, you can still be full."

"This is a good thing." Liang Songzi nodded in relief, and said casually, "Don't all stand still, be casual, I'm here today just to talk to you casually."

The old farmer was still cautious, but a simple boy blinked his big eyes and said boldly: "I am still learning to read in school. I am the best at home. My husband said that if I persist for another year, he will teach me." read."

"Well, yes. Literacy is just to prevent you from being deceived by others. If you can read, you will be a serious scholar. If you have the opportunity to take the imperial examination in the future, you will be a scholar." Liang Songzi said without a trace.

The little officials behind him, including the officials with him, didn't understand why Liang Songzi said that at this time. These things had been rumored a long time ago, and now he said that it was almost the same as nonsense.

The honest boy's eyes lit up, and he said: "Master Guan is right, something has happened to our village."

"Stone!" The old farmer hurriedly turned around, and was about to stop the boy from speaking, and hurriedly said to Liang Songzi, "Don't blame me, Mr. Guan, that boy usually doesn't talk about the door."

But Liang Songzi's eyes lit up and said: "If you have anything to say, just say it, I'm willing to listen!"

"It's like this..." The kid was encouraged and said very quickly.

The old farmer was nervous, but he was relieved to see that Liang Songzi didn't respond, he couldn't tell whether he was happy or unhappy, but he turned around and left neatly.As long as the official is gone, it means that he doesn't want to care about these small people.

Unexpectedly, three or five days later, Shitou followed the old farmer into the city to sell eggs, and he heard the people around him talking loudly, especially those gentle scholars, who spoke the most intensely.

Everyone is talking about what Shishi said a few days ago.

The grandfather and grandson found a place to listen.

"The bullies in the city thought the man was illiterate and deliberately bullied him. He hired a worker for one year, but forced him to write ten years, and asked the man to press his fingerprints."

"Who knew that the man had learned characters in the village school and knew 'one' and 'shi', so he pointed it out on the spot."

"If this had been changed before, there would have been conflicts. Who knew that although the man was angry, he didn't make a move. Instead, he took the contract and went to the yamen. When the official saw it, he turned around and asked the police to arrest the bully. Wake up, the physical evidence is convincing, and I was sentenced to five years in prison, and I have to suffer."

In the past, when farmers in the village encountered problems, most of them would do it directly. They didn't even think about going to the yamen to solve it, but they were afraid of the government yamen, for fear that they would suffer if they went in.

But the teacher in the school in the village told a similar story. If you encounter such a thing, if you step forward to do it yourself, you may have your legs broken and your hands broken. manage?

I went to the yamen directly, and the cause and effect of the matter were clear anyway, so I could catch the bully later.

That man was in the same village as Shitou. After the bullies were dealt with, some wealthy households in the town thought he was knowledgeable, so they specially asked him to work. The wages were twice as much as before.

"Lucky for the common people, lucky for the world."

"If he is illiterate, the contract will be completed by then, and even if he is covered in mouth, he will not be able to speak clearly. Who knows whether he was deceived or repented?"

"This kind of thing..."

"The luck of the people."

Scholars talked loudly, drank wine and ate snacks, while thinking about writing an article when they went back.

Who said that scholars are sour and do not do practical things, then everyone will do it together for people to see!

The original news was spread by Liang Songzi, but at this time it was no longer his business alone, but the business of scholars all over the world, whether it was a matter of putting a layer of credit on himself, or the kind of shining gold.

When the news spread, the common people couldn't help thinking after hearing it.

If you encounter this kind of thing yourself, if you are illiterate, will you be deceived?But what about literacy?You will definitely not be deceived.

Whoever has a lot of men doesn't want to go to the city to earn some money, even the daughter-in-law and mother-in-law will find out to wash clothes for the big family, and the little lady will embroider her dowry for herself, or sew clothes and send them to the city.

If these are done for a long time, a contract must be signed.

Even if you ask someone to read it, how can you trust it? Many people figured it out, and went to the school to learn from the teacher when they had time.

For a while, schools in various places spread word of mouth about this incident, and it also made the scholars feel a sense of presence.Those scholars who opposed the construction of the school at the beginning and thought it was useless, now their intestines are full of regret.

"Brother Liang, you are really clever."

"Where is it?" Liang Songzi said cheerfully.

This matter was led by him, without him, who would have known that the matter of building a school would have come about like this.

However, Liang Songzi admired Liu Yaoqing even more in his heart. He only said a few words, but it had such an effect, and he became more determined to follow Liu Yaoqing in the future.

"After all, it didn't happen overnight. There are no schools built in remote places." Liu Yaoqing was still in the mountains at this time, leaning on brother Zhezi, feeling like he was about to fall apart.

"En." Brother Zhezi looked far away, but nimbly took a piece of sweet bread and stuffed it into Liu Yaoqing's mouth.

Brother Mao happened to hear this incident nearby, and he also knew that the school was, after all, the children of everyone, so he couldn't help asking, "If we ask them to move out and plant them in the fields, they will be able to eat and clothe themselves. It will be much easier to build a school if many villages are gathered together, right?"

"It's okay." Liu Yaoqing nodded, "But the mountain is so big, but it can't be wasted. You see, these trees can be used to build houses, and some hillsides can be planted with herbs. If no one comes, these places will be destroyed in a few years. It has become an extremely dangerous place, and a person cannot come alone."

Trees are useful, and herbs are also useful. Brother Mao already knows that more things in the mountains are useful. Hearing what Liu Yaoqing said, he naturally thinks it makes sense.

"So the village can't be moved, we still need to slowly increase their population and open up some roads." Liu Yaoqing said a few words vaguely.

Even if you tell these people clearly, it will not be convincing until you do it.

Only Brother Zhezi would trust Liu Yaoqing unconditionally and support him.

"Brother Qing, are you still going forward?" Shen Congwu strode forward from the front and asked calmly.

"En." Liu Yaoqing nodded, "Everyone took water from the river, boiled it with the iron caps on their heads, and put it in the water bag."

This time I brought a lot of dry food, but I couldn't bring so much water. This is the second time I have boiled water.

Liu Yaoqing's requirements are very strict, even the water in the mountains must be boiled before washing hands and face, so along the way, although everyone's bodies inevitably become dirty, no one is left behind and injured.

After taking a short rest, Liu Yaoqing perked up and followed.

At this time, everyone has gone deep into the mountains. Although it is only a drop in the bucket compared to this place, it is already a place that no one else can reach. There are many lines drawn densely on the map, and there are some signs that only everyone can understand.

No matter what, Liu Yaoqing kept his heart in awe of the mountain, he never took it lightly, because even the most inconspicuous bug in the mountain could bite you in the blink of an eye and kill you.

On the contrary, some familiar beasts are not that dangerous. There are many people and they are powerful, so it is enough for everyone to go forward and kill them together.

"There are discoveries ahead!" Shen Congwu said suddenly.

"What?" Liu Yaoqing hastily strode forward.

The shoes on his feet were covered with grass clippings and mud, and they were extremely heavy. If Brother Zhezi hadn't been pulling him at this time, Liu Yaoqing might not be able to take a weak step.

Others couldn't see how such a delicate and tender Liu Yaoqing persisted, but he had never complained to everyone, and his expression was still calm at this time.

"Brother Siyou discovered it." Shen Congwu said, "He has never been to this place, and this is the first time he has come. But we found this!"

He pointed to a rusty, almost invisible hoe exposed on the ground by pulling out the rotting grass blades.

"There must be a village nearby, let's look for it." Liu Yaoqing cheered up, "But don't spread out, the more likely there are people, the more careful you should be, because we are not sure whether those people are worthy of our trust!"

"Understood." The men said solemnly.

Hoes can only be made by humans, but wild animals certainly cannot.
