Chapter 759 Mr. Zhu is Back
Bai Jiaxuan's announcement of the abolition of footbinding and the new primary school caused heated discussions in Bailu Village for several days.
"How can you not bind your feet?"
"Is the patriarch probably in a daze?"
"What is a new primary school? Is it the same as a private school?"
"The patriarch went to the provincial capital, what did he see?"
Most people don't think so.
A few people went to the county and provincial capitals to see, and found that the girls outside did not have their feet bound, and the children also went to new-style primary schools.Although there are people attending private schools, but not many.
These people brought the news back to the original place.
This time, the villagers of Bailu Village began to slowly accept the abolition of footbinding and the new primary school.
Something deeply rooted in Bailu Village began to change.
The girl who wanted to bind her feet escaped the "foot-binding torture".
This is something that affects their lives.
This can be regarded as a big change in Bailu Village.
Everyone is looking forward to the new primary school.
In the village, most children do not go to school.
Lu Zhaopeng from Lu Zilin's family spent a lot of money to go to a private school in the next village, which most people can't afford.
Children in their teens can do some farm work, and they all start to help their families.
This is what it means for children from poor families to start their own homes early, and start learning survival skills early.
In fact, learning survival skills prematurely is not necessarily a good thing.
What children should learn is not survival skills, but other things that can increase their knowledge, vision, and other aspects of their abilities.
In this regard, the rich have more advantages and can better educate their children.
The poor are easy to be poor, and the rich are easy to get rich.
After Zhou Qiang came back, the white wolf did not appear again.
The atmosphere in Bailu Village began to improve after Lu Zilin was punished by experts.Maybe the white wolf is going to become a white stag again.
There are far fewer people gambling in the village.
Everyone didn't dare to gamble for a short time, for fear of being beaten by Bai Jiaxuan.
Those who have been dealt with still remember the pain on their bodies, and they dare not do it again.
However, there was a young man named Shi Shi who gambled with Lu Zilin and the others before, and he had already lost all his family property because of gambling.
Now in order to pay off the debt, the land has to be sold.
Shi Shi knew Zhou Qiang was powerful, so he asked Zhou Qiang here.
"Boss, the stone outside wants to sell the land." Lao Fan was respectful and did not dare to neglect anything.
"Sell the land? Let him in." Zhou Qiang ordered casually.
Soon, Shitou came in, bowed his head and bowed to Zhou Qiang to say hello.
"Stone, do you want to sell the land?" Zhou Qiang asked directly.
Zhou Qiang has been the boss for a long time, and he has the air of a superior person.
He didn't mean to despise the stone, but he was used to talking like this.
"Boss Zhou Zhou, I want to sell you my three-cent water land." Shitou was a little afraid of Zhou Qiang, and kept his head down.
"Who do you owe money to? How much do you owe? Are you forced to sell the land?" Zhou Qiang unconsciously looked down at the stone.
This can't be helped, the identities and status gaps between the two parties are too great.
Zhou Qiang is very down-to-earth when he can see the stone.It's impossible to have a fair exchange.
"Deer Township made an appointment, and I owe five ocean dollars." Shitou answered honestly.
"Lu Zilin's, just five oceans?
Lu Zilin is too outrageous!
It's too dishonest for people from the village to force people to sell their land just because of five oceans.
Shitou, pass a message to Lu Zilin.
Just say the five oceans you owed, I paid it back, and let him take care of me.
You come to work with me in the future.
There is no need to sell your land. "Zhou Qiang subconsciously assumed the posture of a superior person.
But Zhou Qiang has a good attitude, very kind and close to the people.
Zhou Qiang's few words made Shi Shi tearfully grateful, wishing to repay him with death.
"Thank you Boss Zhou!" Stone knelt down.
At this moment, Shitou has the feeling of 'a man dies for his confidant'.
Before Shitou came, there was speculation as to whether Zhou Qiang was the same as before, not taking people's land, but also arranging work to earn money to pay off debts.
Now it is found that it is so.
In recent years, there have always been villagers who can't live on and want to sell their land.
Someone asked Zhou Qiang here.
Not only did Zhou Qiang not go along with the flow to buy land, but instead he arranged work very generously so that he could earn money to pay off his debts.
Zhou Qiang has done many acts of benevolence and righteousness, and everyone admires him from the bottom of his heart.
"Stone, will you still gamble in the future?"
"Don't gamble, don't gamble!" Shitou said he would not gamble, but in fact he was just talking.
Gambling is addictive.
It's similar to smoking opium or taking drugs. When you become addicted, you don't care about anything, you have to gamble.
Therefore, for those who do not gamble, sometimes it is difficult to understand why some people lose their fortunes, sell their sons and daughters, sell their wives, and still gamble.
"Stone, you are addicted to gambling, and no one is watching, you will definitely continue to gamble.
How about this, you ask the patriarch to get the ancestral family law every three days.
Gambling is a handicap, let's go for the thugs, [-] thugs each time.
After three months, see if you can get rid of your gambling addiction.
If you can't quit, continue to receive family law. "Zhou Qiang thought of a way at will, which can be regarded as a good person and a good deed.
"Okay, Boss Zhou." Shitou bowed his head and agreed.
"Also, let your daughter-in-law collect the money you earn from working in the future. You don't want any money in your hands."
"Okay." Stone dared not refuse.
"Okay, you go to the patriarch to get the family law first." Zhou Qiang said here and looked at Lao Fan, "Old Fan, you go with the patriarch and explain clearly to the patriarch.
After receiving the family law, Shitou was asked to go up the mountain to farm, and the wages were the same as others.
Also, tell Lu Zilin by the way, let Lu Zilin ask me for Shitou's debt. "
"Good boss." Lao Fan immediately agreed, and left with the stone.
Before Shi Shi left, he knelt down for Zhou Qiang again.
Stone was moved to tears.
Lu Zilin was frightened by the white wolf, so he asked someone to buy some big dogs, and stayed behind closed doors on the pretext of recovering from his injuries.
Knowing that Zhou Qiang took over Shitou's debt, Lu Zilin didn't dare to look for Shitou again, forcing him to pay back the money.
Bailu Village has various bad habits such as gambling, listening to dirty dramas, smoking opium, etc., either because of White Wolf, or because Lu Zilin stays behind closed doors, or because Bai Jiaxuan used family law, anyway, these bad habits have disappeared for the time being.
Next, Zhou Qiang began to prepare for the new primary school.
In Zishui County, Zhou Qiang also bought a house and a shop, and lived in the county seat, going through the formalities and doing various things.
When he was looking for a wife, matchmakers came back one after another.
After Zhou Qiang looked at the portraits, he was not satisfied with many of them, and none of them were beautiful enough, not as good as Lu Zhaopeng's daughter-in-law Leng Qiuyue in the future.
in a few days.
Bai Jiaxuan had a dream, dreaming that a white deer got into the belly of the jelly grass.
After waking up from the dream, not long after, Xiancao gave birth to a baby girl named Bai Ling.
In the TV series, Bai Ling was taken away by the white wolf just after he was born.
Hei Wa chased after him, and even caught up, preventing the white wolf from running away.
Moreover, the white wolf has not bitten Bai Ling yet.
Bai Ling was finally rescued unscathed.
The setting of this plot should be to say that Bai Ling is not an ordinary girl.
Now, due to Zhou Qiang's reasons, the white wolf did not take Bai Ling away.
Because of that dream, Bai Jiaxuan felt that his daughter was not an ordinary person.
Bai Jiaxuan is very fond of his daughter Bai Ling.
In a few days.
Mr. Zhu finally came back.
He fulfilled his original promise and taught in Fang Sheng's poor hometown for five years.
Also because I missed my wife so much, I drew a picture of Zhu Bai, which has both form and spirit.
Bai Jiaxuan's house.
Mr. Zhu and Mrs. Zhu Bai came together.
"Brother-in-law, you're finally back!" Seeing Mr. Zhu, Bai Jiaxuan became emotional and felt like he had something to say.
"I'm back, I heard that you have become the patriarch?" Mr. Zhu looked at Bai Jiaxuan, and felt that Bai Jiaxuan did not have any bad habits.
"Yes, brother-in-law, too many things have happened in the past five years."
"Then let's talk one by one." Mr. Zhu saw that Bai Jiaxuan had a lot to say.
"Brother-in-law, you left Yuanshang that year.
Not long after, the government asked to pay three more truckloads of grain
I was arrested for leading the peasant uprising.
It was because of the letter you wrote to Governor Zhang that you released me. "Speaking of this, Bai Jiaxuan asked: "Brother-in-law, did you already figure out that I have this calamity?" "
"That's right. Jiaxuan, you have an upright temper. When you encounter injustice, you will easily cause trouble. I will leave a letter to be prepared." Mr. Zhu considered foresight.
"Brother-in-law, you are really a god." Bai Jiaxuan praised, and then said, "Later, the ancestral hall will be built,
Thinking of my family and the Lu family contributing money together.
Lu Zilin didn't want to pay at first.
It was Zhou Qiang who took the lead in supporting me in building the ancestral hall.
Lu Zilin finally paid the money.
Later, I also planted poppies. "Bai Jiaxuan didn't hide anything.
Mr. Zhu frowned when he heard that Bai Jiaxuan was planting poppies, but he didn't interrupt Bai Jiaxuan's words.
Bai Jiaxuan also saw that Mr. Zhu frowned, and continued: "However, Zhou Qiang saw the sprouts just now, and Zhou Qiang asked me to plow the smoke seedlings.
Later, the county collected poll tax, and many people could not survive.
I knew that this was the general trend and I couldn't resist it, so I didn't provoke trouble again.
However, more and more people cannot survive.
Some people in our village sell land, and some people go to the county town to beg for food.
At this time, Zhou Qiang still contributed.
He covered the top of the mountain, let everyone go up the mountain to farm, and gave the villagers a way to survive.
Later, Zhou Qiang got a lot of things. People from the original place came to work for Zhou Qiang, and everyone's life became much better.
Brother-in-law, if there is no Zhou Qiang in the past few years, many of us would have died.
Recently, Zhou Qiang is going to build a new primary school in Bailu Town.
A few days ago, I went to the provincial capital with Zhou Qiang, only to realize that the outside world has changed a lot.
Girls outside don't have their feet bound, and they all go to new-style primary schools, and there are cars and hospitals for foreigners. Those foreign devils are not human.
Brother-in-law, the note you left has enlarged feet and shortened hair hinges.
I've already told the big guys, don't allow girls' feet to be bound. "
Bai Jiaxuan talked a lot, and almost told Mr. Zhu everything about the past few years.
"It's right not to grow poppies. Jiaxuan, if you grow poppies, I won't recognize you as a relative." Mr. Zhu was a little serious.
"It's a good thing Xiaoqiang reminded me, otherwise, I would have caused a catastrophe." Bai Jiaxuan was a little thankful that he plowed the tobacco seedlings back then.
"Where is Zhou Qiang?" Mr. Zhu suddenly wanted to see Zhou Qiang.
"I heard that Xiaoqiang went to the county seat. Isn't he going to build a new primary school? He's busy with it."
Mr. Zhu nodded, "Then wait for him to come back and meet him."
"Okay, Xiaoqiang is back, I'll take him to the academy."
At this time, Bai Ling woke up, crying and making noise, causing everyone to go over.
Mr. Zhu also teased Bai Ling, and liked Bai Ling very much, "Bai Ling, this name is well chosen."
"Brother-in-law, before Bai Ling was born, I had a dream. I dreamed that a white deer ran into the belly of the fairy grass. After waking up from the dream, Bai Ling was born."
"Sweet dream, it means that Bai Ling is our original white deer." Mr. Zhu said with a smile, as a joke.
a few days later.
White Deer Academy.
Bai Jiaxuan, Lu Taiheng, Mr. Leng, and several highly respected people from Bailu Village came together.
At the request of Bai Jiaxuan, Mr. Zhu wrote a township agreement.
This township appointment is not the same thing as Lu Zilin's job title 'township appointment'.
Lu Zilin is considered an official position.
The township agreement written by Mr. Zhu is an agreement between neighbors, a rule, and a criterion for everyone to abide by.
Lu Taiheng worried that the township agreement was too strict and everyone would not abide by it.
Several other clan elders also had this concern. In their view, the township contract was stricter than the county law.
However, Bai Jiaxuan is very optimistic about this township covenant, "That's it, I want to engrave this township covenant on a stele and stand it in the ancestral hall of our ancestors, so that everyone can copy it back. Everyone in my clan must know how to recite it, especially the baby. You must break the township covenant first."
An auspicious day was chosen.
A stele was engraved on the Township Agreement, erected in the ancestral hall, and firecrackers were set off to celebrate.
On this day, Zhou Qiang also came back.
Lu Zilin also came.
Of course Mr. Zhu came too.
In Bailu Village, almost all the villagers came.
Bai Jiaxuan stood in front and read aloud: "The township agreement, the virtue and the industry persuade each other, and virtue means that you must do what you see and correct what you have heard."
At this moment, the entire ancestral hall was full of solemnity.
It seems that Bailu Village has a 'reliance'.
However, most people don't understand it.
After the ceremony, everyone dispersed.
Zhou Qiang looked at Mr. Zhu.
This was the first time he saw Mr. Zhu.
Mr. Zhu also looked at Zhou Qiang.
Zhou Qiang walked over and cupped his hands: "Zhou Qiang has met Mr. Zhu, and he has heard of his name for a long time. It is very lucky to see you today."
Mr. Zhu bowed his hand and returned the salute: "I have heard of your name for a long time. You are really a hero born of a boy."
Bai Jiaxuan came over and greeted Mr. Zhu and Zhou Qiang to go to Bai's house together.
After a while.
Bai Jiaxuan's house.
Zhou Qiang and Mr. Zhu flattered each other commercially.
"Mr. Zhu, you retreated from the Qing army alone, let the flames of war go away, and saved lives from dying." Zhou Qiang talked a lot about Mr. Zhu's fame.
"Xiaoqiang, you are not bad either. The poll tax, when the people are in crisis, did not make trouble, and gave them a glimmer of life. Now that they have established a new primary school, what they have done is an act of benevolence and righteousness." Mr. Zhu also praised Zhou Qiang full of praise.
The two flattered each other for a while.
"Mr. Zhu, the new primary school is under preparation.
The more troublesome problem now is that good teachers are hard to find. "Zhou Qiang talked about practical issues, "Especially Western learning, not many people understand it, and many people pretend to be fake.
There are also Chinese studies, there are many people who talk about it, but few can understand the true meaning of the book.
Fortunately, Mr. Zhu is back now.
I also invite Mr. Zhu to come out of the mountain and become a teacher of Chinese studies. "
Zhou Qiang wanted Mr. Zhu to be a Chinese studies teacher in elementary school.
Of course, Mr. Zhu's level is more than enough to be a Chinese studies teacher in a university.
Zhou Qiang did not mean to belittle Mr. Zhu.
Mr. Zhu didn't want to leave Bailu Academy again, nor would he go to the provincial capital to become a university teacher and earn a high salary.
how to say?
There is something very interesting about this era.
That is in this era, the salaries of teachers are frighteningly high.
Let's take an example.
For example, the salary of the county magistrate of Zishui County is 20 yuan per month.
Then, the salary of a university teaching assistant is 100 yuan per month, and the salary of a professor is 600 yuan.
The monthly income of ordinary people is about seven or eight yuan, and there are still one or two yuan.
Look at the gap here, how big it is!
This era is an era in which masters and everyone emerge in endlessly.
Although there are few teachers, all of them are extraordinary.
I won't say anything superfluous.
"Oh? Make me a teacher of Chinese studies?" Although Mr. Zhu was a little surprised, he still looked at Zhou Qiang with a smile.
Mr. Zhu can tell that Zhou Qiang is not a person who seeks fame or reputation, nor is he greedy for money.
Zhou Qiang's eyes are very clear, and his thoughts and actions are extremely magnanimous.
On Bailuyuan, it is an act of benevolence and righteousness to establish a new-style primary school without personal considerations.
"Yes. In fact, Mr. Zhu's knowledge is more than enough to be a university teacher in the provincial capital, or an official in the government.
It's just that Mr. Zhu should have no intention of becoming an official, nor does he intend to leave Bailu Academy.
Therefore, Zhou Qiang boldly invited Mr. Zhu to come out of the mountain to educate Yuan Shang's younger generations.
Let them be able to understand the truth and argue right from wrong when they are young, and become open-minded gentlemen. When Zhou Qiang said this, he bowed his hands to Mr. Zhu, "Mr. Zhu, please come out of the mountain!" ".
"It's too good." Mr. Zhu said a few words modestly, neither agreed nor refused, and promised to introduce some teachers to Zhou Qiang.
