47. Chapter 47 School

Of course, Ruixue will never admit that she has a bad taste.

Zhang Xiucai was a very punctual person. He agreed for three days, and on the third day he brought his old mother to the door. When they learned that he was a scholar and a gentleman invited by the village, the villagers expressed their gratitude to their arrival.

A warm welcome.

It had been a long time since I had experienced such enthusiastic villagers. Zhang Xiucai felt a little overwhelmed for a moment. The school had not been built yet and would have to wait for two days. There was a vacant room in the village chief's house. It was first vacated for Zhang Xiuchang and his mother to live in. It was under construction.

Along with the school, a place to live will also be built for Zhang Xiuchang, which will definitely let him feel the enthusiasm of the villagers of Jinxiu Village.

The labor force of the strong man No. 100 is huge, and the results of the man No. 100 who work hard are even more amazing. The man No. 70 dug limestone for a day, and Ruixue divided some people the next day.

Let them smash the limestone and extract the lime powder, then have them carry it to the cornfield and dry the limestone on the cornfield.

"What are you doing?"

Many people are puzzled by Ruixue's method. Why do they grind stones into powder and then dry them on corn fields? No one has ever done this like Ruixue.

"This stone is not an ordinary stone. It is called limestone. When ground into powder, it is called lime powder. Don't underestimate this. It has the effect of sterilizing and precipitating. It will play a very important role in life in the future." Ruixue probably said.

He explained, "I'm going to use it to kill bugs in the cornfield. You just have to do what I say."

"I have been farming for so many years, but I have never heard that powder ground from stones can kill insects." Wang Da still couldn't understand Ruixue's method. In his opinion, it was all nonsense.

"Just do it as I say." Ruixue didn't want to explain more. Anyway, it's best to speak with facts. There are no ready-made pesticides, and there is nothing to prepare by yourself. So I can only use this lime powder as the most primitive pesticide.

Hope it will be effective.

Not only were Wang Da and the other 100 people unable to understand Ruixue's actions, but the villagers in Jinxiu Village were also puzzled after knowing what Ruixue had done. However, Ruixue paid everyone to do things, and everyone did them honestly. They

I haven’t forgotten what Ruixue said on the first day of work. No matter what arrangements she made, everyone just had to listen to her. She didn’t need anyone to question her decision.

While everyone was grinding lime powder and sprinkling corn fields, Ruixue contacted the village chief again. People in this era did not know that human urine and feces contain a lot of nutrients and are raw materials used to fertilize the land, and everyone

When the latrine at home is full of poop, it is picked to a fixed place and dumped.

There is a large cesspit on the side of the mountain behind the village. It is said to be left by the ancestors. When the cesspit at home is full, the villagers will use the toilet to carry it over and dump it into the big cesspit. After so many years,

Coupled with the impact of rain, the large cesspool has long been full. According to custom, the village chief planned to organize people to fill the large cesspit and then build another cesspool for the convenience of the villagers.

With such a big cesspit, you can smell it even if you don't even get close. It's no wonder it's so far away from the village and in the lee of the village. If it were closer, I don't know how stinky it would be.

Ruixue had just made such a big contribution to the village. She only told the village chief that she needed poop from the big cesspit. The village chief waved his hand without saying a word and let Ruixue use it as he pleased. If Ruixue could use up the most

Okay, I wish I could use all Ruixue, this will just solve the feces problem in the village.

It only took three days to build the ancestral hall and school. This shows that the villagers are very powerful when they are ready to do something.

This was a great event for the whole village. The village chief went to the city to buy some firecrackers and came back to celebrate. After setting off the firecrackers, Zhang Xiucai took his mother and moved into a new home next to the school. Then he set a time and officially started classes the next day.

.

Because the money to invite scholars comes from the village, and children do not have to spend money to go to school, so all the children at home, regardless of age, are sent to the school. Even Mr. and Mrs. Li who have sent their children to school outside are considering whether to bring their children back.

.

After the school and the ancestral hall were built, the men in the village were free again. Seeing the man number 100 in charge of the village working enthusiastically, everyone was a little jealous. This was money every day.

"Ruixue, we are all free. Do you think we are going to open up wasteland, dig mountains, or plant corn fields?" Li Da, the man of the Li family, asked Ruixue on behalf of the men in the village.

"You guys can help me sow the seeds." Ruixue looked at the dozen or so men who were free and asked them to go to the fields with tools. The people who opened up the wasteland had already dug nearly 80 acres of land, but they only dug up the soil.

, the ground cannot be planted yet, the ground must be dug first, Ruixue stood in front of the newly opened land and asked, "Be careful when digging the ground, from left to right, every six feet (here 1 foot is approximately equal to 20 centimeters).

, leave an aisle for me to walk out, it doesn’t need to be too wide, as long as it can put your two feet down, and then in the fourth, eighth, twelfth, sixteenth aisle, and so on,

Every four aisles, the distance between them should be widened to about three feet. Do you understand what I mean?"

"I understand." Although they didn't know what Ruixue meant by doing this, everyone agreed readily.

"Uncle Li, this is your responsibility. You can separate the aisles first, and then start digging the ground." Ruixue nodded, very satisfied that everyone nodded and agreed to her request without asking any questions. The reason why from left to right,

This is because the land expands from left to right, and the right side is still being excavated. Of course, the distance cannot be calculated from right to left.

"Okay, no problem." Li Da was straightforward. He stood up and roughly indicated the distance of the first aisle, "Ruixue, do you think it would be okay to dig an aisle here?"

"Okay." Ruixue nodded, even if there is a slight difference, it can be ignored.

"Okay, Yang Da, you come and dig the first aisle. Remember that your feet are almost this wide." Li Da casually called a brother who was usually a good friend.

"Okay." Yang Da picked up his tools and started working.

There were more than a dozen people, each responsible for an aisle. Li Da quickly completed the division of labor. Ruixue watched from the side. If there was anything that did not meet her requirements, she would bring it up. Soon everyone knew what she wanted. These people all

After digging the ground for most of my life, I mastered the essentials and dug up the corridor very quickly. Ruixue nodded secretly and said, "That's it. After digging the corridor, you can start digging the ground. When digging the ground, everyone works together."

After one piece is planed, plan the second piece. Don't be responsible for one aisle like now, okay?"

"Okay." Everyone answered unanimously.
