Chapter 142 Yu Family School
But he didn't expect that the emperor would actually give it to him.
He's under a lot of pressure, okay!
But with his Sixth Brother around, he doesn't have to worry about foreign threats at all, and he can go all out to carry out large-scale reforms in the country!
He was a time traveler, but he was seven years old when he traveled through time. He was in a car accident, and then he came here...
I have been here for so long that I almost forgot whether I am Hou Baoyu or Xia Linan.
"Your Majesty, it's time to go back."
"Um"
What happens in the future!
Let’s talk about it later!
-
"Hey! Have you heard? Our new emperor has ascended the throne!"
"Is this true?! Why haven't I heard of it?"
"With your limited connections, there's no way you could know that!"
The people on the street were still talking about it, while in the palace, the new emperor Xia Linan was discussing state affairs with his ministers.
"Your Majesty, the tax situation this year is not optimistic. There are severe droughts in various places and grain production has decreased..." the Minister of Revenue reported.
Xia Linan frowned slightly, looked at the ministers, and asked:
"Do you have any good ideas, my dear ministers?"
For a moment, everyone in the court was silent.
At this time, a young official stood up and said:
"Your Majesty, I believe we can implement a military farming policy to encourage farmers to reclaim wasteland, while also reducing taxes to alleviate food pressure."
Xia Linan's eyes lit up, he thought this was a good idea and decided to adopt it immediately.
He ordered the issuance of a military farming order and assigned someone to be responsible for its implementation.
I hope this method can solve the current predicament.
"The new emperor ascends the throne, grants amnesty to the entire nation, and reduces taxes by half..."
The imperial edict was posted in various places, and the people were very happy.
Yu Baibai and his family are busy farming and reclaiming wasteland!
It is already February, and Yu Baibai's dim sum shop has expanded a lot because of Lieutenant General Xu, and customers are coming in an endless stream.
Now not only is the large oven room in the village operating non-stop, but eight large ovens have also been built in the shop and are running non-stop.
In just two months, Yu Baibai earned six hundred taels!
Of course, after deducting the wages and costs for everyone, it will definitely be less, but there must still be a pure personal profit of two or three hundred taels!
She had earned back the money she had spent on the storefront, and now she wanted to save some money to pay back the money that Lieutenant General Xu had given her.
The store hired a few people from the village to look after the store!
Normally when they have nothing to do they help chop firewood or something, but when there is something to do they just grab an axe and go ahead!
Not afraid at all!
They are all barefoot, so why are you afraid of them wearing shoes?
In addition, after it was smashed last time, Lieutenant General Xu renovated it. Everyone around knew that this dessert shop had a backer, and no one dared to provoke it easily.
Everyone is safe.
In the middle, Yu Baibai wanted to find someone outside to make snacks, but the village head and others stopped him and refused to allow him to do so.
Finally, he bought six clever and skillful girls from a human trafficker, who were about twelve or thirteen years old.
Learning things is quick and easy, the village head said: Since we have their indentures in our hands, we don't have to worry about them leaking the recipe.
The women in the compound quickly accepted them.
The girls didn't have to be scolded or go hungry here, and they completely integrated into the place in just a few days.
But they knew their identities and didn't dare to cross the line at all.
Now that every family has some money, they all want to send their children to school.
But it takes them half a day to get to the nearest school by ox cart. Wouldn’t it take a whole day to go there and back?
This was put on hold.
Yu Laoer had been educated and was a student, but after fleeing here from famine, he started to chase Tulu without leaving.
The troubles in his family are very annoying, especially his wife, who always urges Yu Laoer to go to the city to do business.
Old Mrs. Yu is not a pushover either, and the two of them fight all the time!
That day, Yu Lao Er found the head of the village:
"Uncle Lizheng, I want to open a school in our village."
"That's great!" The village head was absolutely willing!
"Thank you for taking care of this matter!"
Once the kids learn to count, we won’t have to hire someone else to do the accounting! It will save us a lot of money!
The village head immediately agreed and began to prepare for opening the school.
The first thing was to choose a site, and he found the village chief to discuss it.
"It's a good idea to set up a school! There's a piece of land over there for you to build the school!" said the village chief, pointing to the small mound bordering the Yu family compound and the village.
"That's great! I'm afraid we'll need the villagers' help when the time comes!"
"Okay! Just give me a shout when the time comes!"
After the location was agreed upon, the village head took his men directly to Pingtu.
"Take your men to the mountains to chop wood! We need to build a good school for the children!"
Mr. Yu knows a lot and offers advice:
"Not only do we need to build a school, we also need a place for the teachers to stay. Now my second son is willing to teach, but what if he doesn't want to? Wouldn't we have to hire a teacher from outside?"
"Yes, yes, you are really thoughtful!" The headman nodded repeatedly, and everyone was full of energy.
Within a few days, the school began to take shape.
"This school is well built!" Yu Laoer stood at the door, full of joy.
The village head said with a smile, "It will be even better when all the children can go to school!"
Yu Laoer looked forward to the future, as if he saw groups of children reading and writing in the school.
He used to sit in school and study like this. How long has it been since he last read a book carefully?
Can not remember……
Everyone walked around the school, but they felt something was not right.
Yu Baibai appeared out of nowhere and tugged at Old Man Yu:
"Grandpa! Are the students only from our village? Do we still have to pay tuition?"
"This..." Everyone looked at each other.
"Of course I have to pay it!"
Yu Baibai thought for a moment and said directly:
"Well, I'll pay for Second Uncle's salary, and I'll consider this school as mine. From now on, any child who works for me will go to school free of charge. This will be considered a benefit from our dessert shop!"
“Of course, children from other villages can enroll in school, but they still have to pay tuition fees. After all, they don’t work for me.
But one thing is for sure, whether there are a lot of students or a few, how about we pay Uncle Er based on attendance and performance evaluation?"
Then there was an explanation about how much the monthly salary would be, which was probably around four or five taels per month.
"Okay! From now on, Second Uncle will rely on you~!"
"Easy to say, easy to say!"
She has wanted to open a college for a long time, but now she is short of funds, so she might as well open a primary school first!
Everyone was very happy. Since they didn’t have to pay tuition, it was the best thing ever!
They will also work hard! Pay attention!
Although I was very serious before.
Yu Baibai took some time to go to the village chief and bought a large area around that piece of land, covering a total of one hundred acres of wasteland!
Of course, it only occupies a small area, and the rest of the area is still deserted!
