Grandpa Feng cried for a long time at Mother Xiao's grave.
After all these years of longing and guilt were vented, Grandpa Feng felt a sudden lightness on his body.
It seems that there are some shackles that are slowly breaking away.
This feeling made him feel a little unspeakably disappointed and uncomfortable.
He stared at the tombstone in front of him, his eyes red for a long time.
Xiao Nianzhi first laid out the offerings, and then muttered a few words: I'm back to see you, and I'm living a good life now.
Naturally, I had to tell them how their biological daughter was doing.
Where he went, Xiao Nianzhi didn't know.
But Xiao Nianzhi knew that at least the little girl would not be like in the plot, unable to resist even if she wanted to.
Her entire life of rebellion was probably spent at the moment when she awakened her self-awareness.
This is actually quite good.
If you change the world, you may not necessarily live a better life, but at least you won't feel so psychologically uncomfortable, and you won't be looking at yourself, following the established tragic route, but there is nothing you can do.
After chanting for a while, Xiao Nianzhi led his guards to clean up the surrounding weeds, and then offered incense to his grandparents.
My grandfather died young and the original owner had never met him, so he had little impression of it.
On the other hand, my grandmother has a very good personality. It is hard to imagine that she was born in such a home that is full of the best and extremely suffocating.
In the memory of the original owner, she was a gentle and loving old lady.
Before closing his eyes, he was still worried about the granddaughter of the original owner. He kept holding Father Xiao's hand and said: "If you can survive, there is no need to marry again, and you don't have to think about being wronged."
Near noon, Xiao Nianzhi and his party finally went down the mountain.
The clan leader naturally wanted to leave food, and at this time, Xiao Nianzhi did not refuse.
Of course, she didn't come here empty-handed today. She bought a lot of things and put some money under a gift box.
The amount is not much, it is just a little bit to show my gratitude for disturbing others, and to express my gratitude for the care they gave to the original owner before.
After dinner, the next thing to study is to establish ethnology.
Their village is not big, and there are not many children in the clan.
Therefore, ethnology is still a bit exaggerated.
However, the village really needs a school.
Just like when Father Xiao was still alive, there was at least one gentleman who could educate the children so that they would not become illiterate.
If you are extremely talented, it is best to make preparations at home to see if you can read anything.
Various details need to be finalized, and Xiao Nianzhi now talks about them in a clear and coherent manner, with a sense of dominance.
At this time, the clan leader finally realized clearly.
This is no longer the soft and gentle child they remember.
Xiao Nianzhi's ability to reach his current position must be extremely outstanding.
Fortunately, the clan leader did not have any disdainful intentions at the beginning, and now he has a good attitude. In addition, what we are talking about now is for the benefit of the clan, so he is naturally more concerned about it.
The two sides discussed many details back and forth, and the clan leader also came up with several different plans.
Naturally, Xiao Nianzhi also has one.
I have been thinking about this matter since I left Beijing, and I will write about it when I have nothing to do on the road.
Now there are several different versions of the plan. After taking them out to discuss with the clan leader and referring to the conditions of the clan, many things can basically be determined.
The trouble now is, how to invite the Master?
Apart from Father Xiao, a scholar, there are no serious scholars in their village.
It is rare that there are two people who, through the guidance of Xiao's father, are now enlightened and have good talents. They are already studying in the county.
Want to pick it out again?
There is no need to think about it in the clan, you have to go to the town or even the county to have a look.
To enlighten children and explore their talents, you must at least be a scholar.
Therefore, the matter of hiring people finally fell on Xiao Nianzhi, and Grandpa Feng helped find a solution.
This matter took a lot of time.
It doesn't mean that you just come to the person's door after hearing about this person. You also need to inquire about the person's character, and after the interview, check out the person's conversation and so on.
If he was a rigid old scholar, Xiao Nianzhi felt that there was no need for him.
It is best to be someone who is middle-aged, has a stable mentality, and is very open-minded.
In early August, this person was finally found. He was not far away and lived in the town.
At first, people were reluctant to come to Lianshan Village to teach. Why don’t they just live in the village instead of living in a nice town?
However, Xiao Nianzhi couldn’t hold back his enthusiasm!
Master, you have to practice discipline. This is the basis for people to eat.
In addition to these, Xiao Nianzhi also built three small houses for the other party in the village for his daily living use.
At the same time, additional financial subsidies will be given every year.
After thinking about it, Master thought it was not bad.
Coincidentally, he recently had two students on hand, both of whom were from the village. They were not far from Lianshan Village, so they could just let them go to his new school later.
The two parties agreed, and Xiao Nianzhi asked Yan Nanrong to help and start building the house.
The master's new dormitory and the students' classrooms all need to be built now.
Fortunately, as long as the money is available, there are still many people willing to do it even in the hot weather, and there are still people in the village who can help.
Regarding the matter of girls going to school, Xiao Nianzhi had mentioned it before, but did not deliberately mention it more.
This is also something that cannot be helped under the limitations of the times.
Because women are studying, there is no way to take exams.
Therefore, many people will feel that studying is useless and will not spend money on it.
Even though the money for enlightenment is not much.
However, reading and literacy is actually helpful for women.
Women who have suffered losses also know this.
Xiao Nian has finished her work. As for how they choose, that is not something she can interfere with.
She has no choice but to be a warrior flying against the wind. She can only promote changes in certain things little by little.
The house can't be built in a day. Xiao Nianzhi has other arrangements and doesn't keep an eye on this place all the time.
Fortunately, Yiying's affairs have been handed over, and there is no problem for the clan leader to handle the rest.
Therefore, Xiao Nianzhi quickly packed his bags and went to Fucheng.
She needs to assist here first and promote the corresponding agricultural tools.
The climate in Chenzhou is good, and there will be a small autumn harvest in mid-August.
Therefore, many farm tools have to be busy, and they may be used before harvesting.
The prefect has been looking forward to Xiao Nianzhi's arrival for a long time.
The prefect of the Song Dynasty was not a pedantic person, and he accepted women as officials very quickly.
He thinks that as long as you have the ability, you can do it, and it doesn't matter whether he is a man or a woman.
As for the cat that catches mice, is it possible that you still have to choose between a man and a woman?
Men can do it, but women can't?
Magistrate Song thinks, isn’t this a joke?
By the time you finish picking the gender of the cat, the mouse will have already finished its food and gone to the next house!
