Spring in Liexi Town is very beautiful because it is located next to the Fuchun River. When you wake up in the morning, the entire town is shrouded in spring mist.

On this day, Li Xiuyuan took a nap, just like Xiao Hei.

There was a golden light shining in the yard and drifting towards the small street.

At the corner where there was no one, Xiao Hei and Xiao Yu'er, who had not been out for a long time, walked out. The one dragging their little hands was naturally the old man from the Jade Disc Space.

"Grandpa, we have to go for a walk today, the little fish hasn't been out for a long time."

Xiao Yu'er looked at the strange town in front of him, squinted his eyes and smiled: "Xiao Hei probably doesn't want to go back."

The old man looked at the two of them and smiled lightly: "Well, this time we can go out for a walk often. I guess your brother will live here for a few years."

When Xiao Hei heard this, he clapped his hands and laughed: "It's good now, Xiao Hei can come out to find something to eat from time to time."

The old man shook his head, pointed ahead and said, "Let's go eat first, and then go to the river to buy some fish, which we can grill and eat in the evening."

Xiao Yu'er became a little angry when he heard that. He looked at the old man and said, "Grandpa, Xiao Yu'er can't eat Xiao Yu'er."

The old man was stunned, touched her head and said: "You are a real person now, no longer a little fish in the water. Will you try to eat the grilled fish later?"

Xiao Hei snickered on the side, suddenly sniffed hard, and cheered: "Grandpa, the front smells like beef noodles."

Xiao Yu'er squinted his eyes and laughed: "Xiao Yu'er smelled it too."

…

The shop in front has not yet started construction, but Li Xiuyuan has already asked craftsmen to build a wine room in the backyard using bluestone and iron wood.

The backyard is very large, and he plans to use a small area to make a wine cellar, so that he won't have to worry about running out of space to store wine in the future.

There was a clanging sound in the backyard, and Li Xiuyuan moved Hu Ge to the living room in front.

While the two were guarding a pot of tea, the shopkeeper came in with Mr. Chen from the town school.

The shopkeeper introduced to Li Xiuyuan: "Brother Xiuyuan, this is Mr. Chen, Watson's teacher. He can talk to you about things in the school on behalf of the principal."

Li Xiuyuan took two teacups and put them on the table. He smiled lightly at Mr. Chen and said, "Mr. Chen, please sit down and have a cup of tea."

Mr. Chen, who was dressed in a green shirt, was obviously not in high spirits today. Because a banditry broke out in the town, the student had to take a temporary vacation, and he didn't know when he would be able to return to normal.

As a teacher, he was naturally worried about a group of children who were out of school.

The shopkeeper gently patted Mr. Chen's hand and said with a smile: "Mr. Chen, this is my child's uncle. With him here, all your troubles can be solved."

Hu Ge, who was hiding on the bamboo bed, closed his eyes when he saw that the three of them were about to talk business.

Not participating in his brother's serious affairs was a habit he had developed in those years.

If Li Xiuyuan doesn't tell, he will definitely not ask.

Seeing Mr. Chen's worried look, Li Xiuyuan poured tea for the two of them and said softly: "Mr. Chen and I have similar thoughts, those children should not stay at home."

Mr. Chen was startled when he heard this, looked at Li Xiuyuan and asked: "The world is in trouble right now, do you have any good ideas?"

Li Xiuyuan spread his hands and said with a smile: "I can't talk about good strategies. It's just that I have money. With money, I can change the current situation of the children."

The shopkeeper sitting nearby was stunned, looked at Mr. Chen and said with a wry smile: "My brother does have some money and wants to do something for the children. Please Mr. Chen not to tell anyone."

Mr. Chen sighed, took a sip from the cup in front of him, and then said softly: "Sir, do you want to be a good person?"

Li Xiuyuan shook his head, looked at him and said seriously: "When I finish what I am doing, I will go to the school to be a free teacher, how about that?"

Upon hearing this, Mr. Chen patted the table gently and sighed: "In this way, Mr. Chen will not only want to be a good person, but also want to practice the way of a saint."

"I'm not a saint yet."

Li Xiuyuan sighed, looked at him and said quietly: "In the next five years, I will pay for all the children's schooling expenses, and the school will not charge them a penny..."

"The school will build another canteen and provide the children with a free lunch every day. We will ask the town to pay for this cost. The school only needs to take care of the children's daily meals..."

"If both parents die, the town will subsidize the child with two silver coins every month until he grows up... How about that?"

After saying this, Li Xiuyuan gently placed several plans that had been copied on paper in front of Mr. Chen.

Looking at him, he said seriously: "If the children have a future, then the Five Domains Dynasty will have a future."

Mr. Chen was shocked when he heard this and thought that this would cost a lot of money. The town was extremely poor and the mayor was dead. Where would the money come from for the school? For the children?

"Is there money in this town?" After thinking for a while, Mr. Chen finally expressed his doubts.

Li Xiuyuan shook his head, looked at him and said seriously: "In five days at most, the Imperial City will have written documents, and White Jade City will naturally send a new mayor. You don't have to worry about this."

At this point, even the shopkeeper couldn't help but interrupt and said: "Mr. Chen, don't worry about the school fees. Such a big thing has happened. Bai Yucheng will send someone to check it out in a few days."

"I have already written to the Lord of Baiyu City. The town will not have to pay taxes for the next ten to twenty years. This is considered a favor from the emperor to the town. There will be an imperial edict on this matter in a few days."

Li Xiuyuan did not reveal his identity, and he did not mind giving the two of them more confidence.

In his opinion, only when the teacher has confidence, will the children sitting in the hall have confidence.

Just like Wu Xin back then, the only hope for those children who didn't even have enough to eat was to sit in a classroom that was leaking from all sides and listen to Wu Xin teaching them the way of saints.

A life with hope can give children a healthy and upward mind, not just let them have enough to eat.

The people in the small town have their own way of survival, and all Li Xiuyuan has to do is give them the confidence to rebuild their homes.

As for the children in the school, Li Xiuyuan wants to tell them more about the ways of heaven and earth, tell them stories about the big world, and let them have more dreams.

Mr. Chen was shocked after hearing this. If the young man in front of him could command the high officials in the Imperial City and get the Lord of White Jade City to do something for the town, then it would no longer be a problem.

Thinking of this, Mr. Chen immediately stood up, bowed his hands to Li Xiuyuan and said: "The way of the sage is that my nature is self-sufficient. It is a mistake to seek the truth from it."

"And in my opinion, sir, not only does he practice the way of a saint, but he also hopes that those who have achieved it will help the world. He is really an example for us to learn from, which makes me feel ashamed."

Li Xiu Pinhole laughed when he heard this, pointed to the jingling sound in the yard behind and said: "Even a saint has to eat, sleep and spend money. Do you think I am different and have to make wine to live?"

After thinking for a while, he continued: "Mr. Chen, please go back and make a roster of students, and report to me the expenses required to build the canteen... Inform the children to return to school in five days."

In Li Xiuyuan's opinion, as long as you have money, five days is enough to change a lot of things.

Perhaps because he was afraid that Mr. Chen would be worried about something, Li Xiuyuan continued: "From now on, my brother-in-law will be in charge of all matters relating to money and food with the town. This will save both you and me from worry."

As time goes by, troubles like not being able to pay the bills will inevitably arise. Li Xiuyuan naturally does not want to give him a headache by giving birth to a few maggots in the school.

After much deliberation, it would be best to let Father Watson do this.

After all, we are all a family, and we can talk and do things with confidence... If this guy is willing, Li Xiuyuan wouldn't mind letting him be the mayor of this town.

However, this guy, just like me, just wants to spend time with his family, and now my decision can be regarded as causing him some trouble.

When Mr. Chen heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up and he laughed and said, "In this case, everyone will be happy."

"In a few days, I will go to school to be a free teacher for a few years. Then I will cause trouble to Mr. Chen."

There was always the shadow of Wuxin appearing in Li Xiuyuan's heart. He wanted to go to school and be a real teacher for once.

Mr. Chen paid his respects again, looked at him and said excitedly: "Well, let me first thank you for your kindness on behalf of the children."

Li Xiuyuan smiled lightly and said: "Being a teacher is just a part of our lives. From now on, Mr. Chen can come to my wine shop often and we can have a drink and talk about the ways of heaven and earth."

Mr. Chen was startled when he heard this, looked at Li Xiuyuan and asked: "Sir, are you planning to open a winery in a small town?"

"That's right! That's exactly what it is."

Li Xiuyuan looked at the two people in front of him and said: "I want to sell wine here that everyone can afford to drink, so that everyone in the small town can afford to study."

"So, sir, do you want to create a peaceful and prosperous era in the small town? What about those bandits on the Fuchun River?"

Mr. Chen thought about it and thought about the bandits who came ashore to commit murder.

"Bandits?"

Li Xiuyuan smiled lightly when he heard Fang, looked at the two of them and said, "Now that I'm here, I'm afraid they won't be able to sleep well in the coming years."

…

After sending Mr. Chen off, Li Xiuyuan took a bag of gold coins to the shopkeeper, looked at him and said seriously: "Don't be afraid of spending money, but don't tell the school that I paid for it."

The shopkeeper was stunned, looked at him and asked, "What if the principal and Mr. Chen ask?"

"Then say it's from the town. You just handle things for the town. I'm just a facilitator."

Li Xiuyuan said seriously: "Don't worry about the bandits. When people come from the imperial city, I will solve these troubles one by one. I will live here for a long time and I won't leave so soon."

Li Xiuyuan thought to himself, I am here, do you still need to be afraid of bandits?

Hearing this, the shopkeeper took a deep breath and said with a smile: "In a few days, my two children who are studying in Baiyu City will also come back. Then you have to teach them like you taught Watson."

When Li Xiuyuan heard this, he pointed at Hu Ge who opened his eyes and said, "If you want to practice martial arts, just worship this guy as your teacher. I can let them embark on the path of practice, but I will not accept any more disciples."

Hu Ge was stunned when he heard this, looked at him and said with a smile: "What about Watson? Who is he to you?"

Li Xiuyuan was stunned when he heard this. Thinking of Watson's eyes that could spit out fire, his heart finally softened and he murmured to himself: "Watson, he can only be considered half of my apprentice."

Hu Ge was delighted when he heard this, looked at him and said with a smile: "So, on behalf of Watson, I would like to thank you, the great master, for your kindness."

Li Xiuyuan glared at him and chuckled: "You can't be lazy, or I will break your new legs and feet again."

The shopkeeper looked at Hu Ge with sympathy, patted him on the shoulder and comforted him: "I believe you, blacksmith. You've been through such a hard time, and now you just have to take care of a few more children."

Li Xiuyuan smiled when he heard Fang, curled his lips and smiled: "Don't let me call you a coward. You know that next I will make wine, build a house, and go to school to be a teacher..."

The meaning is obvious. I really don’t have time to lead a group of children to practice in the following days.

Hu Ge was speechless and couldn't help but smile bitterly and shake his head. He was a little angry in his heart, but when he felt the wonderful feeling on his arm, he decided to be a good master seriously.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look at Li Xiuyuan and asked: "Is there any good swordsmanship to teach children? You also know that I only have Qingcheng's swordsmanship."

"Qingcheng's swordsmanship is very good. Just use your back body skills to teach them well. I will help you without any psychological burden. Is it possible that it is more terrifying than you in the Beihai arena?"

Thinking of Hu Ge's moment on the Beihai battlefield, Li Xiuyuan couldn't help but cheer him up.
