Cannon Fodder [Quick Transmigration]

Yunxi Village

Everyone gathered in the open space in front of the village ancestral hall to eat the running water mat. The village chief said that the running water mat would be set up for three days to celebrate the happy event.

For this banquet, besides the people from Yunxi Village, many people from several neighboring villages also came, and they surrounded Xiao Zimo and Wu Bai one after another, wanting to send their children here to study.

For such a request, Xiao Zimo did not refuse. He had already guessed that such a situation would arise, and he and Wu Bai were planning to build an academy in the village so that these children could be admitted to school.

In the Wei Dynasty, there was no rule that merchants could not become officials. With the successive arrival of the county magistrate and mayor, many wealthy households in the town and county expressed their desire to send their children to Xiao Zimo to study here.

For these people's requests, Xiao Zimo and Wu Bai thought about it for a few times, and they agreed.

After making the decision to repair the academy, Wu Bai and Xiao Zimo told the village head the news, and the village head took the opportunity of the three-day feast to spread the news.

After the mayor heard the news, he personally visited Xiao's house in Yunxi Village.

"Master Xiao, Doctor Wu, hello." The mayor greeted first.

"What is the mayor here today?" Wu Bai poured a cup of tea for the mayor, and then asked.

"I heard that Master Xiao is going to build an academy in Yunxi Village, is there such a thing?" the mayor asked.

Xiao Zimo nodded and said, "That's right."

After getting a definite answer, the mayor said happily: "I have two stubborn grandchildren in my family. I hope to have the opportunity to learn from Master Xiao at that time?"

"Of course, since I want to build an academy, I definitely want to pass on what I have learned to the students. If your grandson is eager to learn, I will naturally welcome it." Xiao Zimo replied.

"Hahaha, Mr. Xiao is so forthright, so the old man is naturally not stingy." The mayor laughed loudly, took out two bank notes from his pocket and handed them to Xiao Zimo, and said, "This is a little wish from the old man, I hope If you can help Master Xiao to build the academy as soon as possible, I hope Master Xiao will not refuse."

Xiao Zimo said with a light smile: "So, Xiao is not impolite, and Xiao thanked the mayor for his kindness on behalf of all the students."

"Master Xiao, you don't need to be so polite. This Yunxi Village is also under the jurisdiction of this old man. Now that you can do something for the people, this is what this old man should do." The mayor said modestly.

"Hahaha... It's a blessing for the people of Deyang Town that the mayor is so considerate of the people." Xiao Zimo said with a smile.

The two sides chatted and laughed, Xiao Zimo and Wu Bai got up to send the mayor away.

Not long after, someone knocked on the door of Xiao's house again. Wu Bai opened the door and found that the person who came was the county magistrate.

"Hello, magistrate." Wu Bai and Xiao Zimo greeted each other politely.

"Haha...Okay, okay." The county magistrate looked at the couple with a gratified face. When he thought of so many children under his command this year, and they were all brought by Mrs. Xiao Zimo, he I was very happy.

The county magistrate entered Xiao's courtyard with a smile. He looked at Xiao Zimo and said bluntly, "This county came today to build an academy for you."

"This is a trivial matter. I didn't expect it to alarm adults." Xiao Zimo said modestly.

"Where, this is a big deal in the eyes of this county now." The county magistrate took out a stack of banknotes from his sleeve and handed it to Xiao Zimo, and then said, "This is the silver taels raised by this county and various merchants in the county. Everyone is looking forward to you quickly building the academy."

Xiao Zimo didn't refuse, he took the bank note with a smile, and said: "Xiao will not disappoint you, and will build the academy as soon as possible."

"Okay." The county magistrate said with satisfaction.

The county magistrate also has a son, who originally studied at the county school, and that child also participated in the county examination, but failed. Since the county magistrate heard that Xiao Zimo had taught more than ten children, he couldn't wait to send his family to him. The child was sent to Xiao Zimo, which was why he was so positive about Xiao Zimo's building the academy.

After seeing off the county magistrate, Xiao Zimo and Wu Bai went to the village chief's house and asked the other party to help recruit workers to build the academy.

They have already chosen the location for the academy, and they chose it on the open space on the right side of the village entrance. With the cooperation of the county magistrate, the land deed for the academy was quickly completed. As for the materials for building the academy, they were successfully found with the help of the mayor. Material merchant, and sign the contract.

After they paid the deposit, they conveniently began to deliver the materials to Yunxi Village.

On the other side, the village chief quickly recruited all the people to build the academy. Except for the people from Yunxi Village, most of these people came from the neighboring villages.

Xiao Zimo and Wu Bai handed over all the reasons for the construction of the academy here to the village head and a master who specializes in building houses for wealthy families.

The two of them stayed in the ancestral hall to teach the children their studies. Although it is very important to build an academy, the children's studies should not be delayed.

However, after the county examination, the students taught by Xiao Zimo were also divided into two classes by him. The students in Class A only had eleven children who passed the Tongsheng exam. Xiao Zimo was going to start teaching them strategies. The students in Class B are those who have not passed the Tongsheng exam. Xiao Zimo plans to adopt two different methods to teach the children in the two classes.

On the other hand, Wu Bai's students have been taught and are now all literate. The students in the two classrooms have long been merged into one, and they all listen to the class in one room.

After more than two years of teaching, these children have memorized the efficacy and habits of various medicinal materials, and now Wu Bai is teaching them to feel the pulse.

Three months later, the college built at the entrance of the village was completely completed.

After the academy was completed, Xiao Zimo and Wu Bai specially gave the children a three-day holiday, and everyone rushed to the entrance of the village to see the completed academy.

The completion of the academy naturally alarmed many people. The county magistrate had sent someone to monitor the progress of the academy. As soon as the academy was completed, he brought the wealthy businessmen in the county to Yunxi Village with drums, drums, and firecrackers. , this speed actually reached Yunxi Village faster than the mayor and others.

Seeing this, Wu Bai and Xiao Zimo rushed to meet him.

"I have seen the magistrate."

"Hahaha... You two don't need to be so formal. I heard that the academy was completed, so I came here specially to present a plaque to congratulate the completion of the academy." The county magistrate laughed heartily.

"Thank you, my lord." Wu Bai and Xiao Zimo cupped their hands.

Then the county magistrate greeted the staff to hang up the plaque, and the four golden characters of "Yunxi Academy" were hung above the gate of the academy, which was so magnificent that the whole academy seemed to come alive.

Not long after, the mayor brought people to Yunxi Village, and just in time to see the plaque being hung up, he immediately ordered his men to set off the firecrackers they had brought.

All of a sudden, the gate of the academy was extremely lively.

After talking and laughing, everyone pushed open the gate of the academy, walked in, and began to visit the interior of the academy.

This academy is a blueprint jointly drawn by Mrs. Xiao Zimo and the old master. The interior is divided into four courtyards. It is classified as the Academy of Arts, which is the teaching dormitory where Xiao Zimo taught the children; the two rows of rooms in the backyard on the right are the dormitories of the students, and the backyard on the left is divided into three parts, one part is the students’ dormitory, and the other is the dormitory of the students. It is the book pavilion, and the last part is the place where the masters rest and work.

There is a large open space in the center of the academy. In front of the open space, there is a stone tablet with many names engraved on it. If you look carefully, you will find that the names recorded on it are the names of the people who funded the construction of the academy this time.

The rich householders who came to visit the completion of the academy did not expect to see their names on the stone tablet. This is an opportunity to be famous in history, and they all looked at Xiao Zimo gratefully.

The name of the county magistrate is in the second row from the left, and the names of Wu Bai and Xiao Zimo are in the first row. Even so, the county magistrate was also very happy, and he praised them endlessly.

After viewing the academy, Wu Bai and Xiao Zimo began to enroll students. There were so many people who came to sign up. Naturally, Xiao Zimo and Wu Bai were too busy. Fortunately, they were well prepared and ordered their former students to help register. Sign up.

In this way, within half a day, they registered all the students who wanted to sign up.

After the registration was completed, Wu Bai and Xiao Zimo gave these students three days to report to the academy three days later.

After the registration was over, the county magistrate left Yunxi Village with satisfaction.

Wu Bai and Xiao Zimo looked at the stack of brochures in their hands, and carefully counted the number of students who signed up. Not counting the children who studied with them before, there were more than 130 children who signed up this time and wanted to study medicine with Wu Bai. The number of students studying with Xiao Zimo is even larger, reaching more than 300 people, including dozens of adults. They have participated in the county examination for many years and have not passed. Knowing that Xiao Zimo has taught so many children, They naturally wanted Xiao Zimo to help them get into Tongsheng.

For these people, Xiao Zimo told them very clearly that he could not guarantee that they would be admitted to Tongsheng, but those people refused to give up this opportunity and insisted on entering Yunxi Academy.

The other party came to study, Xiao Zimo couldn't forcefully refuse, so he had to agree to let them sign up.

"So many people, only the two of us, I'm afraid we can't handle it." Wu Bai said with a sigh.

"Don't worry, I have already spread the news that Yunxi Village is recruiting a master, and someone should come to apply for it." Xiao Zimo said calmly.

"Me too, but doctors are relatively rare. I don't know if anyone will come here to be a teacher." Wu Bai said with some concern.

"Just wait and see the situation." Xiao Zimo comforted him.

"Yeah." Wu Bai nodded.
