Xin Wuzuo was silent, and Xin Jin's face was ashen.
If we just talk about words, they are no match for Xin You.
Seeing Xin Wuzuo being completely suppressed by Xin You, Xin Jin could only stand up on his own.
"Gentleman, what Uncle Zong means is that he is afraid that some people will neglect farming in order to get an official position. One or two people are fine. If there are too many such people, we in Xinyi may not even have people to farm."
Xin Jin looked concerned about the major events in the city.
Xin didn't want to break up with him yet, so he softened his tone: "Uncle, you don't have to worry about these things. It's just a matter of recognizing a few words. During the slack time, people in the country just fight and gamble. They are all idle anyway.
If you want to learn Braille, it won't delay anything."
Xin Jin wanted to refute, but some people in the country started booing: "Old man of the Xin family, he is afraid that everyone can read and settle accounts, so the official position of the Xin family will not be equal to that of the Xin family."
"Haha, that must be the case."
Xin Jin's face turned purple. He turned his head to look for the person who was speaking, but the sky was dark and there were many heads on top. Where could he find these people?
"Uncle, the duty of a county official is to educate the people of the country. This is also the purpose of running a school for me." Xin said again: "You have been to the state of Zheng in the early years. You should know that the rural schools of the state of Zheng are not only a place where people discuss national affairs.
, it’s also a place where officials teach!”
"..." Xin Jin was unable to refute, because it was indeed the case.
The rural schools in the Spring and Autumn Period originally had the function of educating nobles, but Xin only extended this function to the people of the country.
"Okay, then I hope you can teach a group of talented people soon."
After Xin Jin finished speaking, he turned around and left.
Xiao Wu glanced at Xin You, then at Xin Jin, and finally followed Xin Jin.
"This old guy must not be holding anything back." Xin You thought to himself.
Xin Zai had been thinking about establishing a public school in the rural school for several days.
He felt that this matter was much more important than making distilled liquor, but of course it was also much more difficult.
Xin Jin’s opposition was just the beginning.
There are also the Cheng family and the Yin family behind them. They will never allow so many literate people to exist in Xinyi.
That would shake the foundation of their rule.
But this is exactly what Xin You wants to achieve.
"Starting from tomorrow, we will gather here every day after dinner. I will teach the Chinese people how to read and do arithmetic."
Some of the Chinese people were excited, some were confused, and some even showed a hint of timidity on their faces.
Recognize words?
For most Chinese people, this is something they would never dare to think about in their lifetime.
"It would be enough if we could teach a few accountants..."
Xin looked at the leaving countrymen and said quietly.
The three elders have controlled Xinyi for too long. Even during Xin Wubing's period, they could not completely control the three elders.
These three people controlled the financial power of Xinyi, which was their foundation.
In order to shake this foundation, Xin You must have his own talents to deal with these three old guys.
…
Late at night, Xin Jin and several elders of the Xin clan were gathering together.
"The patriarch seems to have gone crazy."
Xin Jin opened his mouth and said.
Xin Wuzuo said: "Let the people of the country learn to read? It's a shame he can think of it!"
"Yes! Even in our Xin family, only our family can study in private schools. Is that boy Xin You going to move our Xin family's private school to a rural school?!"
"He must not be allowed to do this!" Xin Jin said: "One of the conditions for selecting officials in Xinyi is to be able to recognize big characters or be able to make calculations. If everyone has mastered such skills, do we need to keep these positions obedient?
Let me out?"
"Uncle is right." Xin Wuzuo said: "For hundreds of years in Xinyi, each family has been in charge of its own affairs, and this cannot be changed!"
"Yes! Can't change!"
Several famous old men from the Xin family all said this.
With Jin Xin's "advice", they also understood the pros and cons of this matter.
"Uncle, what do you want to do?" Xin Jin's nephew Xin Yuanyi asked.
"Tell everyone, never go to Junzi to learn how to read. Without our support, I think he can survive for a few days!"
Xin Jin's face showed a hint of sinisterness.
In the Cheng and Yin clans, there is also news passed down.
Even several small clans received the same order.
The chiefs of the small clans did not dare to offend the big clans, so they naturally agreed seriously.
Some people stop it, and some people look forward to it.
Some young people, led by Du Gan, had already made up their minds. No matter who stopped them, they would learn to read and arithmetic from Xin You.
…
When Xin You returned home, he simply thought about how to deal with these people.
When he decided to set up rural schools in rural schools, he had already thought of countermeasures.
He sat in the house, lit a green lamp, and began to think about ways to make distilled liquor.
The principle of distilled wine is very simple, which is to use the different boiling points of wine and water to distill alcohol from the original liquid.
There are no ready-made distillers in Xinyi, so Xinyi has to create everything with his own hands.
"Gentleman, it's time to rest..."
Wei on the side reminded Xin You softly.
"You go to sleep first, I have to wait for a while." Xin You didn't even raise his head.
Wei stopped talking, but held the lamp and watched Xin draw on the ground with another branch.
The Xin family's home is not luxurious, and the patriarch's house does not have stone paved floors, so the soil is directly exposed.
It's an excellent panel.
Soon, Xin drew a strange thing based on his own impression.
"Gentleman, what is this..."
Wei knelt on the ground and looked at the pattern Xin had drawn with branches.
"This is called Tianguo. If we in Xinyi want to be rich in the future, we will rely on it."
"Tianguo..." Wei silently remembered the name.
"Okay, go to sleep!"
Xin stretched again. He was really tired these past few days.
Director Wei untied Xin You's clothes and wanted to change Xin You's clothes.
"This... I'll do it myself."
Xin You was still not used to Wei's service.
Wei didn't say anything. For her, Xin You's order was the supreme edict.
As soon as Xin You took off his outer clothes, Wei brought a wooden bucket.
The wooden barrel was steaming, and it was a barrel of scalding boiling water.
"Gentleman, wash your feet."
Wei's beautiful eyes moved slightly, very moving.
This time, Xin did not refuse.
Wei tested the water temperature and found it comfortable before putting Xin You's feet in.
Xin felt his whole body relax again and lay on his back on the couch.
This is the aristocrat of the Spring and Autumn Period. Even though he is only a small scholar, he can still let such a beautiful woman pinch his feet and beat his back.
If you become a great noble, you don't know how luxurious your life will be.
Even if Xin You’s goal is not a luxurious life, who doesn’t yearn for such a life?
"Wei, are you from Wangcheng?" Xin suddenly asked.
Wei's hand stopped for a moment, and then she said: "Gentleman, yes."
"Your master has gone south?"
Wei nodded.
In fact, Xin You had already guessed this.
Wei's original owner may have been with Wang Zichao's group.
While following the prince running south, Wei was left behind here.
"Your original master may not come back..." Xin said again.
"I know..." Wei lowered her head: "I will always serve the gentleman."
"That's not what I meant. What I meant is that since your master is no longer here, you don't have to consider yourself a slave anymore," Xin said again.
"Absolutely not." Wei was so frightened that she quickly knelt on the ground: "Gentleman, Wei knows her identity well. Wei is already very happy to be able to dress the gentleman and the old lady. Gentleman, please don't do anything else for Wei."
Wei was trembling on the ground. She had been a slave since she was a child and had already recognized her identity. Who said that letting her out of slavery would be as terrible as a crime to her.
"No matter what Junzi asks Wei to do, Wei will do it. Wei only asks Junzi to stop doing anything for Wei..."
Wei's tears flowed out again.
"Hey, get up."
Xin You said helplessly. This chapter has been completed!
