Chapter 238 Changping Academy

The people of each village are repairing the roadbeds on the village: pulling weeds, shoveling silt, measuring, making marks, and frame them with wooden boards. By the time the batch of bricks are transported to each village, they have already done their preparations.

The tiles are responsible for laying bricks, while others are responsible for soaking, handing bricks, mixing mortar. The division of labor is clear and orderly.

Fang Li was bringing a batch of bluestone slabs with people, and the horses and vehicles were lent to them by the Xiangjun Mansion. Fang Li was so grateful that he also brought a team of stonemasons and bricklayers.

Zhang Ci smiled and said, "Fang Li was thinking so thoughtful. These craftsmen were exactly what we needed. They were all receiving food here, so it was hard to pay you copper coins, so I would just give you some food."

"Thank you, my husband, thank you, it's a great kindness to have food." The craftsmen hurriedly thanked.

There is no civil work to do at this time. They are all idle at home. Being able to come to work and get some food, and it can also alleviate the pressure of food shortage at home.

The ink paper brought the craftsmen to various places to replenish their hands.

The roads in Murakami are all directly covered, and small wooden bridges will be built for people to pass by where to walk.

After two days of busyness, the main roads in each village were paved with bricks, and the other half of the gravel roads were also poured. The villagers were so happy that they were like the New Year.

In the next six days, there were two east-west avenues paved.

The road between Kaiyun Village and Yeyi Village is paved with floor tiles, which extends twenty miles to connect to Qiaoshang Village in the west. This avenue leads to Guangyun County, and paving it a little better is also a face-saving project.

The front of Qijiadu is paved with bluestone slabs, leading to Shiligang in the east. Hejiabian, Liujiaxu, Hongdougang, Qianjiadi, Qingshan Village and Jixiang Village in the north are also connected by bluestone slab roads. The villagers all feel very honored that Hetian Village and Songlin Village are only connected by gravel roads. They also work very hard.

In this way, all the thirteen villages in Changping Township have achieved road access in every village and brick roads in the village.

The cost is also very heavy. Thousands of bluestone slabs were used and floor tiles cost tens of thousands.

Chen Fan hugged Zhang Ci with heartache: "It would be great if I didn't give it to the village on the bridge. I'll spend dozens of miles less."

Zhang Ci patted her back: "The yellow clay in the west does not belong to you anymore."

Chen Fan punched him: "Why are you just here? It's really strange that there is not even a village. There is no such thing as Shiligang. It's just a ten-mile walk to a village, and there is no one around ten miles."

"So it's desolate here. But the Jung-kun will not continue to let them be desolate."

Chen Fan punched him again.

October 16th is the heavy snow season, but it has not snowed and the weather is still very clear. The largest house in Kawata Village is surrounded by people.

It was the house of a bandit leader before, with a high-walled courtyard, which was spacious and luxurious. When other villagers were busy burning bricks and paving the roads, the carpenters were busy here. The Xiangjun Mansion was also under discussion for several days.

The door opened, Mo Jian shook his whip, and the sound spread throughout the audience: "You can go in and visit now, pay attention to order, and don't touch it at will."

The villagers walked in in a regular manner, only daring to look with their eyes, not touch with their hands, and not daring to walk around.

There are three main halls, with many backrest chairs and short tables, which look like a room for drinking tea and entertaining guests. The main hall is a super large courtyard with a screen wall, and they don’t recognize the words written on it. The main hall is three straight and two straight and two straight and two straight and two straight. People were surprised to find that each room is neatly placed with tables and stools, and the fragrance of tung oil is emitted.

"Is this going to be a school?"

"So many desks and stools can sit many students, right?"

"At least a few hundred people can sit."

"So what, we can't afford to study in our children."

There are also tables in the room to the east, and there is a small shelf on each table with a brush hanging.

"Look, look, brushes, the first time I have seen so many brushes."

"I don't know if my child can use this brush."

The table entering the west side is relatively large, and the chair has a backrest, which looks like it is for the Masters.

After walking around, everyone came out curiously and nervously.

Qi Li was starting to shout, "The good time is coming!"

Everyone was wondering, the firecrackers were ringing, and many people were so shocked that they covered their ears.

Qi Li was saying a series of auspicious words, and the villagers heard the last two words clearly: "Hang—————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————

A large plaque was carried over, covered with red silk and red flowers.

Several young men steadily lifted the plaque, hung it, uncovered the red silk, revealing four big characters!

"Changping Academy!" Qi Li was taking the lead in thinking.

Academy? This is really a academy.

"Can my child study here?" someone asked impatiently.

"Is Shu Xiu expensive?" Someone went straight to the point.

Mo Jian's voice came over, and the audience was silent for a moment.

"Changping Academy is open for children in Changping Township. You can read for free and bring your own pen, black paper and inkstone."

Everyone is a little confused. It is a good thing to read for free, but you still have to bring your own pen, ink, paper and inkstone.

"We have no money." Many people started to say it.

"It's your business to have money or not." Mo Jian looked at them coldly, "Changping Township Jun made this the best house to make a college, which is a blessing for the people of Changping. It is also a blessing for you to let the children study for free. We must cherish this blessing."

He paused for a while, looked at everyone's expressions, and then said, "I have heard a lot of criticisms these days, and criticized the Xiangjun Mansion."

Many people shrank their necks.

"How can you understand the righteousness of Changping Township? Remember to do things honestly and earn money in the future so that your children can eat enough and afford pens, ink, paper and inkstones."

The whole audience was silent.

"Changping Academy welcomes those who want to study regardless of age. After entering the academy, you must respect teachers and follow the rules and study seriously. Those who make trouble and fail the grades will be cleared."

The people are digesting these words.

"If you want to study, go to the villages to register today and register. You can come to school officially tomorrow. The schooling in academy is a half-day system, and the time is from the time to the time of the hour and the time is four hours, a total of one and a half hours. The summer will be extended."

"If you don't understand, you can ask now."

What else are you asking? You can come if you want, and you don’t have to eat here.

The people were silent, thinking, and quietly dispersed.

On the way back, Chen Xiu asked a question: "Will there be girls coming to study?"

Chen Ying said: "Maybe there will be girls who want to study, but most people will not allow it. Those who are enlightened may agree."

"No one asked if girls can study today," said Chen Xiu.

"There is a yard behind for girls. Enter through the side door. Let's see the situation tomorrow. The plaque has been hung today. Even if a girl comes, we will continue the girls' yard."

When the plaque was hung at the main entrance, there was also a yard at the side door, but I couldn't see it when I stood outside. I had to enter the door and found that there was a Changping Women's Academy there.
