521 0523 Discuss building a school

Early the next morning, the village chief came to discuss with Su Li and Yuan Jie about building a school in the village, so Su Li asked the four apprentices to go to the Su Zhai Hall to replace them temporarily, and she would go there in the afternoon.

The village chief smiled and said: "It's not the first month, we're discussing to finalize the school, build it earlier, and let the children go to school earlier."

Su Li nodded and said with a smile: "What the village chief said is that this study is the most important thing, and it cannot be delayed."

Yuan Jie then called Housekeeper Xiao Yuan and said, "Go and call the master who designed our yard for us."

Housekeeper Xiao Yuan took the order, and Yuan Jie explained: "The house next to our house is almost built, and it is estimated that we can move in in March. It happened that the master who designed the house for us was here, so I asked him to plan for us. Let's see how the school will be built."

When the village head heard this, he was flattered and said, "Oh, our country school is still so troublesome to plan, it's too much trouble for you! What the village and I mean is to build a few rooms and buy some tables and chairs."

Su Li said: "That's not possible. If we want to build a school, we have to think about it in the long run. Once it is in place, it will save more and build it later, which will affect the children's studies. Although our Haizi Village is small in scale now, but everyone They are all on the road to getting rich. After a few years, I guarantee that after Haizi Village becomes rich, the school will be even better than Qingmiao Academy! Maybe the people in the nearby villages will be vying to send their children to our Haizi Academy!"

The village's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he rubbed his hands and said, "If this is really possible, that would be great! Oh, if there is a school in the village, our backs will be even harder! Let's talk about dividing land and water sources, often People from two villages fought, but if our village has a school, people from other villages want to send their children to study, and if they ask us, they have to listen to us. Tsk tsk, people from our village will go out in the future, What a face!"

The three of them were talking, and the housekeeper Xiao Yuan led the master from the design school in. The master was an old designer, and he brought several kinds of blueprints with him. The matter of the school is finalized.

The cost of building the school was shared equally between Su Li and Yuan Jie, and the labor and land were paid by the village.

The village chief thought about it. In the future, all the dolls in the village will be educated, and there will be a few glorious ancestors in the future.

The rest of the matter is left to Housekeeper Xiao Yuan to worry about, and Su Li can just pay the money.

"Bai Lu, you and Housekeeper Xiao Yuan worry about building the school together." Su Li called Bai Lu over. Now Bai Lu is the chief housekeeper of the Su family, and money is in Bai Lu's hands.

Bai Lu responded crisply, and said with a smile: "Building a school is a matter of accumulating virtue. My wife entrusted it to me. I'm too happy for it!"

The village head smiled and said: "We have discussed with the villagers. In the sacrificial room in the school, besides the portraits of Confucius, there are also portraits of A Li and Master Yuan, so that the children in the village will remember them. Being able to study is all thanks to the wealth of you two benevolent people, no matter where you go in the future, no matter how prosperous you are, I will remember that you two will have a good life."

"This, how can this be done! How can we be able to hang portraits!" Su Li and Yuan Jie repeatedly waved their hands, expressing that they couldn't stand it. Once this portrait was hung, it meant that they had received the ceremony of apprenticeship with Confucius. All the students have the name of master and apprentice with them.

But the village chief said: "If you can afford it, why can't you afford it! That's it! If you don't agree, I won't let the school be built!"

Seeing that the village chief was resolute, the two could only agree with a smile.

Li Yanhao lifted the curtain and came in, and said to Su Li with a smile: "A Li, I'm good at painting and calligraphy, how about I give you portraits?"
