The skilled widow is busy farming

Chapter 86 Drawings
"The money is calculated separately, and the credit must be recorded in the diary. Don't forget this. Without the Ping brothers and sisters, the clan school and the winery cannot be established. Those few Jinshi also benefited from the kindness of the brothers and sisters. Remember this village chief. without?"

Li Yan asked with a serious face. He was Li Ping's childhood friend and a brother of the same clan and clan. His affection was no less than that of Li Mao and Li Heng.

In order to find out about Li Ping's death, Li Yan and Li Qing went to Jiangnan to investigate in person, borrowing Zhou Yi's connections. Neither of them believed anyone, so they wanted to investigate in person.

"Do you agree with me taking a note?"

Uncle Li asked the big guy.

"agree."

The villagers spoke in unison and spoke in unison.

Uncle Li stood up and bowed to the villagers in return, "I would like to thank everyone on behalf of the children."

"Remember, Xiuniang is the master of clan studies. The children are watching us do things. We can't be too selfish. How will we teach our children in the future?"

If one person learns well, everyone will learn well. The village is becoming more and more prosperous, no one is struggling with money, everyone has hope and success, the clan is fair, transparent and open, and there are no secrets to hide. Naturally, the villagers must set a good example and set an example for the children. Sample.

"Okay, I'll remember it now."

Uncle Li turned to look at Xiu Niang, his eyes slightly red, "Xiu'er, your hard work has not been in vain."

Xiu Niang was also very moved at this moment. She covered her face with her sleeves to calm down her excitement. No matter how much she gave, she did not feel that it was hard. It was not in vain. People will remember her hard work and difficulty.

Qing'er held her hand and gave her strength and comfort, and her sister-in-law also held her and smiled. It will get better and better in the future, it will.

"The next step is to set up rules for the weaving workshop and recruit people. If you are not very talented in reading, you can come here to learn a craft. This time, there is no distinction between the Li family surname and the foreign surname. People from the village with foreign surnames can come here to learn skills, but relatives cannot Come, the Zhou family has invested money to find sales for us, others can’t come, and you can’t pick the fruit for nothing.”

Uncle Li brought the ugly words to the forefront.

"The rules cannot be broken. You must abide by the rules. This weaving workshop is much more expensive than the wine shop. The cost of things is very expensive. If it is broken, you can't afford to pay for it. Do you understand what I mean?"

"I understand, don't worry. Xiu Niang has broken up with us in private, and we understand the rules."

The old lady nodded repeatedly. It wasn't her first day working for someone, so she understood.

I was working as a palace flower before, and some people have already started to learn brocade weaving, but they are slower in learning. They are very clear about the rules of the industry. Can you afford to pay for the brocade that is damaged while working for others?

"The clan's share can be divided among everyone when the money is earned in the future. I will go back and calculate it carefully with the elders on how to calculate it specifically. I suggest that everyone come to learn the craft and earn pocket money at least. The clan's share will be used for the study without dividing the money. It costs a lot of money to teach everyone to learn piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, riding and shooting, you understand."

"You know, ethnic studies never cost money."

"Correct."

Uncle Li nodded happily, repeating it every time he settled the accounts. In fact, it was also a hint that it was impossible to split the money among clan scholars. Don't have any delusions. He reminded the bottom line over and over again. If you still dare to make up your mind, you are seeking death.

"In addition, Xiu Niang bought a house for her children in the capital. I am thinking that next time our clan has money, we can go to the capital to buy a house or a shop. It may be feasible."

"I think it can work. The price of houses in the capital increases every year. It will definitely not be a loss if you buy it. The children will use it when they go to the capital to take the exam."

The villagers immediately nodded in agreement.

"It's okay to buy Zhuangzi in the capital. If the clan wants to go out, it must have property in the capital. You can't let the aristocratic families look down on you. Otherwise, you are from a poor family after all. It's right to buy more properties. You won't lose money."

Li Qing also nodded in agreement with Xiu Niang's vision, which was forward-looking.

"Okay, it's settled then. If the money is enough next time, Brother Heng can buy a farm for our clan."

"middle."

Everyone nodded.Now that we have talked about the big things, we have talked about the trivial things. Children with poor talents have to withdraw from clan studies and become clerks to learn their skills. They will train with the elders and take care of family affairs. In the future, they will contribute to the clan and the clan will train your children for you.

Not everyone can stand out in the imperial examination. Those who fail will have to withdraw. They cannot keep occupying the quota. Now the clan is working hard to exchange resources and go to other families to learn good craftsmanship.

"This time the Zhou family has redeemed two places. One is to study medicine, and the other is to study weaving and dyeing. They will go to Jiangnan. Li Qing's shop happens to be in Jiangnan. I will choose someone to inform everyone."

"Thank you, village chief."

The villagers were looking forward to it when they heard it. Now that the clan has more opportunities, they come in turns, and they line up according to their performance and merit, and no one has anything to say.

The next day, Li Mao, Li Jing and others went to the dock to pick up the horses and things. The second batch of horses ordered from the merchant arrived.

There are also things for the children to learn riding and shooting, as well as some musical instruments, tea sets and other things ordered by the shop.

Master Wu has been here for two months and has begun to teach everyone the basics, including squatting, running, etc., regardless of gender.

Anyway, it's good for the body. Parents don't care what the family teaches, and children don't dare to complain. If they complain, they will be beaten again. The rules are very upright.

After the boys finish studying, they have to work in the fields or wine shops. Some of them go to help the family sell junk goods to make money. The girls' families learn to be like palace flower purses and sell them for money. They are not allowed to be idle.

Those with a good reputation can copy books in exchange for a few copper coins.

Qing'er and others work almost from morning to night. They have to learn a lot in a day. Every now and then, they have to show what they have learned to the whole village at clan meetings. Anyone who makes a mistake and makes a joke will be punished and recorded, which will affect the future. In the future, I will definitely get beaten by my parents when I go home, I didn't say anything.

Ethnic studies are becoming more and more strict and harsh, and children dare not take it lightly. Last month, several brothers of the same ethnic group were expelled. Firstly, they had no talent in studying, and secondly, they repeatedly failed the assessment. They were immediately expelled and looked for other escape routes. This gave the students who are still studying The children are under great pressure, fearing that it will be their turn next.

Brother Chun also went to small class to study, and he is very busy now. He does not need supervision from others. He takes the initiative to endorse things when he gets home, writes silently on the sand table, and then writes on paper after he has finished writing. He does not dare to waste anything.

Brother Qun is becoming more and more like an older brother. He is very strict with Brother Chun and looks after him very closely.

The autumn harvest has finally arrived, and the whole village, old and young, is busy. The consequence of the large amount of land is that the whole village, men, women, old and young, are all so busy that there is almost no one to spare. A strong force.

Qing'er's children are all working in the fields, and there is no one to spare.

After the autumn harvest, the winery once again entered a busy stage, and the weaving workshop also began preparations. Everyone was thinking about what kind of yard to build would be more useful.

Xiu Niang was also helping with the drawings. It was almost time for the farm break, so Grandpa took a day to specially call the whole family over.

"Let me tell you something today. We will build the yard in the spring. The boss and the second will build it together. Together with Grandma Wang, we will build the ancestral hall and the ancestral tombs together."

"It's great, I've finally waited for this day."

"Grandpa, I drew some pictures for you guys. If you don't like them, I can change them."

Xiu Niang quickly asked Qing'er to show everyone the picture she drew.

Uncle Li and his father-in-law took turns looking at each other, nodding and communicating with each other, with joy on their faces.

"Xiu'er, what you drew is a two-story building. Do we want to build a two-story house?"

Aunt Xu looked carefully.

"Yes, build a two-story building. Girls will live upstairs in the future. I'm not afraid of having too many rooms, but I'm afraid of not being enough."

"That's right."

Aunt Xu nodded repeatedly after hearing this.
