Xiong Ercai opened his mouth and found his own voice, suppressing the fluctuation in his heart: "Then do you think the general will come back safely this time from the expedition?"
Xiong Da opened his mouth and said, "I will definitely come back." It was a bit difficult for him to say it, but he believed that the general should be able to come back.
"Master of the General's Mansion, of course, I don't mean our general, I mean our old general, who went to the battlefield very early... and the old general also... failed to come back in the end." Xiong Eryue said, his voice getting louder and louder.
The lower the heart is, the more it sinks.
Because of Xiong Er's words, Xiong Da's face turned pale and his mind was uncertain. The old general and the others were all brave and good at fighting. Even now, he couldn't believe that they would all be killed on the battlefield: "This is not something we can discuss.
, you should do your own thing well, never say these words again, and don’t let Madam hear you."
"Why?"
"You are a fool! Madam is obsessed with wanting the general's mansion. She must love our general so much, and she also wants to make life easier for our general after he comes back. But if madam knows that the general can't come back, she will be worried and sad." Xiong
I felt that if this was really the case, God would be too cruel to Su Jian.
Xiong Er smacked his lips and secretly thought that Xiong Da was becoming more and more eloquent now. The key was that he couldn't refute it because what Xiong Da said was very reasonable.
On the other side, Zhang Da sat quietly at the other end of the table. Su Jian asked him to adjust the distance between the inner and outer courtyards, ensure the safety of the women, and formulate strict rules. He wanted to say that the general had strict orders before, but he couldn't.
After pretending to write something down, he saw Su Jian drawing something seriously.
He silently stared at Su Jian's drawings. After a while, he saw some clues. This seemed to be the general's mansion.
"I'm very satisfied with the stone mill you made for me before." Su Jian had long noticed that Zhang Da was looking at her, but she ignored it.
"Mrs. Thank you for your compliments." He opened his mouth for a moment, then narrowed his eyes.
"There are many people in the mansion. Although I haven't fully understood all of you one by one, I know generally. Farming the land, guarding the inner and outer courtyards, and sweeping the house do not actually require so many people."
Hearing this, Zhang Da had some suspicions. He looked up at Su Jian and found that Su Jian was also looking at him: "Does Madam want to free up manpower to renovate the General's Mansion?"
Su Jian took a deep look at Zhang Da: "The General's Mansion is now mostly made of soil and a few stones. Even if it is renovated, it will be like this."
Su Jian meant not to renovate? But why did she mention the manpower of the General's Mansion and why did she draw the drawings of the General's Mansion? Zhang Da was confused.
Su Jian looked at the drawing in her hand, focusing on her location. Now that Xiao Su's restaurant is making a profit every day, it is only a matter of time before the General's Mansion is renovated. She needs to be patient: "So my idea is not to repair it, but to tear it down."
reconstruction!"
Zhang Da was shocked and looked at Su Jian with his eyes wide open. How much dowry did she bring with her to rebuild the general's mansion?
"In order to ensure that everyone has something to do, and to ensure that every bit of our efforts is not in vain, I am going to do it part by part." This way, it will not cause a shortage of funds and housing, Su Jian said, pointing out
Looking at a slightly remote courtyard of the General's Mansion: "I've been here before. The courtyard is big enough, quiet, quiet, and safe. It's very suitable for studying." The most important thing is that it is also close to the courtyard where the men in the mansion sleep, so the sound of the master's teaching may be heard.
If children can pass it on, it can be regarded as a profound learning for them.
Da opened his mouth. Is it really quiet there? He didn't think so, but Su Jian said so. If he refuted, would he slap Su Jian in the face?
"read?"
"I want to set up a school here. Firstly, it will be convenient for Xiaolei to study. Secondly, children of the same age as Xiaolei, different ages, and even adults can go to school as long as they really want to learn."
"..." Zhang Da looked at Su Jian and stopped breathing. He must have heard wrong just now. Studying is out of reach for most people, but what did Su Jian say? Anyone can study in a school.
?
Su Jian did not wait for Zhang Da's answer, thinking that Zhang Da understood what she meant, but was not capable enough. Also, Zhang Da used to be a stonemason. Although he was good at making stone mills, building a house was not a simple matter. As expected, he still had to find someone.
Professionals can do it, but this will increase the budget again.
But... she has already relented to let Xiao Lei go to school, and learning is the top priority. If she is wronged, she cannot wrong her children. If she is wronged about expenses, she cannot be wronged about his studies.
Why!
"Go to the city and look around, shop around, and estimate how much it will cost to build a yard." Build a yard first, and then look at the situation, so she can know how to build her own yard and what can be built.
Degree: "Remember, I don't want dirt, I want a brick house with big tiles!"
In fact, it would be better if there was cement, but the formula of cement... Su Jian shook her head. She was not that good. Although she had used cement and had seen the simple production of cement, the ratio problem required repeated trials and was time-consuming.
The most important thing is that there is no cement in this dynasty, and if it suddenly comes out, it may be a blessing or a disaster, so she'd better take it slow and steady.
Zhang Da stood up and looked at Su Jian with even more admiration. There was no green brick and large tiled house in the courtyard of the huge general's mansion. Now Su Jian built one. And it was not for
Su Jian herself, but for Zhan Lei, the general’s younger brother!
Maybe... Su Jian really loved the general so much that she loved the house as much as the bird.
Su Jian is also really well-organized.
It’s not that Zhang Da is uneducated in literature, so he knows very well how important reading is for everyone! If you don’t want to take the imperial examination and become an official, you should study to understand the principles and human ethics!
"Madam, you don't need to go to the city to find someone. We can do it ourselves, but the cost is..." Zhang Da was shocked in his heart, and his words were filled with excitement.
Su Jian was stunned and looked at Zhang Da thoughtfully: "Are you sure it can be repaired?"
"Sure." Zhang Da said affirmatively.
"There seem to be a lot of talents in the General's Mansion." After Su Jian finished speaking, she felt faintly uncomfortable. Logically, she should be happy knowing that they could repair the house. Not to mention the cost savings, it would be easier to tear down the General's Mansion and rebuild it later. But
...Since there are so many talented people in the General's Mansion, how do you manage to live like this?
The more I stay in this General's Mansion, the more I feel like there are mysteries everywhere.
Zhang Da lowered his head, not knowing how to answer Su Jian's question.
Su Jian withdrew her gaze: "Ehuang is busy with my shop every day, the materials needed to build a yard, and other expenses. You can come to me directly." Thinking of something, she looked at Zhang Da again and added.
He said: "There are some things you should tell other people in the house.
Building a school is a lifelong matter. Even if some of them do not study, or most of them do not have children now, they will have families and children in the future. When their children grow up, they will naturally enter the school.
of."
Zhang Da's heartbeat quickened, but his face didn't show anything: "Madam, we are all her slaves..."
"What happened to the slave? Even if he is a slave, he should not be a slave who is illiterate. You must know that knowledge changes destiny!"
