Wang Ci expressed satisfaction with the various sponsorships and systems proposed by Xiong Buyou, but he made it clear that the school's curriculum must be decided by the mountain director, and the crossing group cannot stuff its own books into the teaching. Xiong Buyou readily accepted this. In his opinion,
It seems that Molixuan Academy has nothing to do with the future education of Chuanhua Group - they can talk about whatever they want to say. For Chuanhua Group, the reopening of Molixuan Academy is a victory in itself. At least for the time being.
Formally, they completed a cooperation with the local intellectual class in Lingao.
From the perspective of ordinary people, since scholars who are full of benevolence, righteousness and morality can also accept funding from Australians, why can't they, ordinary people. Chinese scholars have always set an example for society. Their orientation often affects
to many levels.
Before the opening ceremony ended, a group of ragged children crowded in front of Liu Dalin and Wang Ci, trying hard to express their passionate desire to study and improve, which moved the two people to tears. Xiong Buyou, on the other hand, was moved by this scene.
made a malicious comment:
"Humph, I must be here to make a living."
But it's okay, it's generally not difficult to get people who are just trying to make ends meet. Xiong Buyou doesn't care about their specific enrollment matters. He has already negotiated with Wang Ci that there will be three places reserved for the Time Travel Group in the academy - one of them is Zhang Xingjiao.
For the other two, the temporary time travel group has not yet selected a suitable target. The staff of the Social Work Department responsible for this work believe that it is dangerous to send the teenagers back to an academy where traditional values are concentrated before completing the thorough brainwashing of the teenagers.
―There is a risk of being counter-brainwashed.
As for Zhang Xingjiao, because of his hatred, he was completely in the same boat with the Time Travel Group. When he attacked Goujiazhuang, his hands were still stained with the blood of the Gou family members - he could no longer go back and could only work with the Time Travel Group with all his heart.
.
Wang Ci murmured in his heart about letting Zhang Xingjiao come to study, but when he thought that all this was provided by Australians, he couldn't refute it, so he agreed.
After the ceremony, the people who came to the opening ceremony received a souvenir. The gentry, including several elites and county officials, received a rattan-shell thermos - this novelty made everyone feel like a treasure. The ordinary Confucian scholars received five.
Ten yuan circulation coupons. Everyone is already familiar with the purpose of this kind of banknote. As for Liu Dalin, he had originally made up his mind not to accept any gifts, but the gift presented to him forced him to accept it.
This is a wheelchair. It was carefully manufactured by the Works Energy Commission Machinery Factory. Except that it cannot be folded, it has the same structure as a modern wheelchair. It can be pushed by family members, and he can also move the wheels himself. In order to reduce weight
, using steel rims and hubs, and locally produced ball bearings are installed on the axles - the quality is not very good, but they can be used. The ball bearings greatly reduce the friction resistance of the axle, reducing the force required when rolling.
A lot.
The only drawback is that there is no rubber, so the car is a bit "hard".
This thing scratches Liu Dalin's itch. Naturally, there are many servants at home, but it is still very inconvenient to have two servants to help lift the chair when moving. Now that there is such a wheeled chair that can move forward and retreat freely,
It undoubtedly brought great convenience to his daily life.
Liu Dalin tried to sit down for a while, and found that it was very convenient to move forward, backward, and turn left and right. All onlookers were amazed. Liu Dalin also secretly admired in his heart: No wonder Australians are said to have "wonderful skills and are good at all kinds of crafts." They are indeed well-deserved.
He could refuse weird gadgets like hot water bottles. This thing was really useful, so he accepted it. Xiong Buyou nodded secretly, Wu Nanhai was really good at it. His idea of sending a special wheelchair really worked!
If you use our wheelchair, you will have to ask us for service in the future. The wheelchair needs to be oiled and the bearings need to be replaced. No one in this time and space can help you do this except us.
Unexpectedly, the appearance of this wheelchair would bring business opportunities. A gentleman squeezed through the crowd and bowed deeply to Xiong Buyou, who was grinning happily. He was startled.
It was Liu Youren who came from Liujiazhai in Calais. Liujiazhai was the only large local landowner to participate in the Tiandihui. He had donated the name of a supervisor and was considered a scholar, so he was invited to attend the opening ceremony. For this reason, Liu Youren
He also changed into a Confucian shirt. However, this kind of clothes is not suitable for a rich country man like him.
It turned out that his purpose was to buy two more wheelchairs.
"My parents are old, their leg strength has weakened, and they have difficulty moving. If I can sell two wheelchairs like this at a discount, I would be very grateful."
As soon as he said this, several gentry also crowded forward, hoping to buy wheelchairs for their elders. Xiong Buyou did not expect that this special product would have such business opportunities. He quickly announced that it was temporarily out of stock. Everyone, please wait for a while. Dongmen City
There will naturally be supplies. Everyone was reluctant and ordered money on the spot. Xiong Buyou thought that manufacturing a few wheelchairs would probably not have any negative impact on Lingao's industrial system, so he accepted the order, but the money was confiscated -
―How much it should be sold for is still open to debate.
This unexpected episode successfully ended the opening ceremony of Molixuan Academy. Everyone was happy. Liu Dalin's family members solemnly carried their wheelchairs and followed his sedan back to the city. The gentry allowed their families to hold them carefully.
Holding a thermos bottle, I sat in a sedan chair and went home. Tongsheng and the scholars hurried to Dongmen Market with their circulation coupons. There were many good things here that my wife and children had been talking about for a long time - those from the Nanbao area did not need them.
This type of ticket can also be used at the local Nanbao Mining Bureau Service Club.
Wang Ci was so excited that he could not calm down for a long time. He walked in circles in the courtyard of Molixuan. He wanted to write a few poems and was searching for words and sentences. However, Xiong Buyou interrupted his elegance - there were other details.
Need to talk to him.
After some negotiations, both parties agreed to use the Lingao school field as the capital of the "Lingao Education Foundation", and the specific operation will be handled by the "Tiandihui" under the Chuanchuan Group. Lingao County School will not charge any form of fees to the Tiandihui
Tiandi will not interfere in any form of development and utilization of the school land. The county school will not interfere.
In return, Tiandihui will be responsible for all the daily operation and maintenance expenses of Lingao County School, Confucian Temple, and Molixuan Academy, including various living allowances for scholars and children. At the same time, the grain tax payable by the school will also be paid by
"Heaven and Earth will" bear it.
In other words, Wang Ci handed over the "permanent tenancy rights" of the school land and the power to collect rent in exchange for Tiandihui's full financial aid to the county school.
All these funds are settled in the form of negotiable certificates and are stored in the name of the "Lingao Education Foundation" of Delong Grain Bank. As for the foundation, Ye Yuming and Wang Ci, the presidents of the Tiandi Society, serve as presidents. In addition to daily routine
In addition to expenses, temporary expenses must be withdrawn with the consent of both parties.
After reaching an agreement, Wang Ci felt that the funding problem that had been bothering him was finally solved, and he would no longer have to worry about funding issues. As for the school land, it was still in the name of the county school, but it was given as a "permanent tenant".
It’s just the meeting of heaven and earth.
For the Chuanchuan Group, the Agricultural Committee is confident: the income from the Xuetian after using scientific farming methods is enough to cover the regular expenses of the county school and the academy. There will even be a considerable surplus - even if there is no surplus, the Executive Committee feels
It is also accounting, and at least it is very helpful in attracting the hearts and minds of local intellectuals.
In addition to Molixuan Academy, the renovation of the county school and the Confucian Temple are also in full swing. It didn’t take long for these renovation projects to be completed one after another. The subsidies provided by the foundation also made the county school, which had been abandoned for a long time, regain its vitality.
The students came back one after another to the sound of reading. The foundation not only gave the students the stipulated monthly subsidy of six buckets of rice, but also asked Wang Ci to make a list of those with epiphyses and hyperplasia whose family life was difficult and send them to the county school.
They were also given six buckets of rice to study abroad. The thieves who originally had a low reputation among the scholars suddenly became "Australians".
Xiong Buyou was very happy after completing this task. He took his people out of the city and got on the public ox cart from the west gate of the county to Bairen City. After trial operation of the ox cart freight system, Shan Daoqian built another
A simple ox-cart bus system. There is a terminus in Bopu and Dongmen City. The terminus is equipped with temporary cattle pens and vehicle repair shops. From five o'clock in the morning to four o'clock in the afternoon, buses depart every hour. There are facilities along the way.
There are several up and down stations. A two-oxen traction four-wheel cart is used. The car is equipped with seats, upper and lower footboards, and a folding carport for rainy days. In order to facilitate local farmers who are accustomed to carrying a large number of items, there is a folding carport on the outside of the car.
Luggage racks are also installed for hanging rattan baskets and loose goods.
This kind of oxcart is not only used by travelers, but also by indigenous people. The fare is very cheap, and the circulation coupon can be used from Bopu to Dongmen City for one cent. As they built the school farm outside the west gate, the bus routes also changed.
It extends to the west gate of the county seat. The fare increases by one to two cents and you can take the bus to the county seat. This greatly facilitates people's travel along the way.
The highways and oxcart bus system have made the people of Lingao gradually realize what public services are - this kind of public services provided by the government to benefit the whole people almost does not exist in traditional Chinese society. Public services provided by Chuanchuan Group
It is clear at a glance what the Lingao County Yamen did and what it did was higher and lower. The timing of public oxcarts also slowly instilled the concept of precise time into the minds of the people.
Unfortunately, the Time Travel Group has not yet been able to build a clock and cannot further instill a modern concept of time into the indigenous people. Dr. Zhong Lishi put all his energy into developing radios - this is more important than clocks.
