Chapter 177 Returning to Beijing
Luo Tiandu and the others set off at the end of October, and it was snowy all the way, and the road was difficult to walk. When they arrived in Beijing, it was already the end of the twelfth lunar month, just in time for the New Year.

Luo Baisu was eagerly looking forward to their return in Shangjing, and he was finally looking forward to someone, so he inevitably felt a little emotional, and asked them: "Why did you arrive so late?"

It was rare for Luo Tian to see Luo Baisu, who had always been taciturn, showing a little anger at this moment. He was very surprised, and said with a smile: "There is a school in the village, and my mother and I are afraid that someone will make trouble, so we will keep it until the school is completed." Come here."

She and Mrs. Fang stayed in Luojia Village to build a school. She only wrote a letter to Luo Baisu, and didn't say much about the details. Luo Baisu was also very concerned after hearing Luo Tian talk about it: "But it has been built? Now What else is missing?"

Luo Tiandu then told the story of how Grandpa Fang was a scoundrel who wanted to drag bricks when the school was being built, and the rogue from the neighboring village came to steal things in the middle of the night, and was finally caught by the villagers and sent to the official, and finally said: "I heard from Uncle On the day of ancestor worship and opening of the shrine, the Qi family also sent a lot of high-quality rice paper, which is enough, and the school is really lacking in things."

"What?" Luo Baisu asked again.

"Books." Luo Tiandu said, "Now there are only a few old books left by my second uncle in the school, nothing else."

Luo Baisu pondered for a moment, and said, "It's easy to handle. The Book Bureau has everything like the Four Books and Five Classics. When I have nothing to do, I will slowly transcribe a few volumes, and then I will send it to someone."

Luo Tian thought for a moment, isn't it? Luo Baisu works in the Publications Bureau. There is nothing else in the Publications Bureau. The books are complete. It's just that the printing technology is not developed in this era, and the cost of printing books is expensive. Most people still use handwritten copies. , It is said that many poor students in Beijing earn their living by copying books for others!
When it came to the Book Bureau, she couldn't help thinking a little more, and discussed with Luo Baisu: "Father, since our family has paid for the school, at least we have to build a famous school, right?"

Luo Baisu was used to her deliberative expression, which probably meant that she had some new ideas, so he resigned to his fate and said, "Just tell me what you want, even if it's the moon in the sky, Dad will build a ladder for you." You pick a corner off."

Luo Tian thought about the situation of Luo Baisu taking the endless ladder to pick the moon, he couldn't imagine it, couldn't help but smiled, and said: "What do I want the moon for? It can't be eaten or worn. , it still takes up space at home, and besides, our house doesn’t have such a big place to put the moon, even if it’s a small corner.”

Luo Baisu asked strangely: "How big is the moon, how can there be no place for it?"

Well?Luo Tian was speechless. How could she explain to an ancient man that we do not live on a square horizontal line, but on a sphere. The moon is an average of 38 kilometers away from our earth. Look at The moon, which is only the size of a disc, is actually a ball with a diameter of more than 400 kilometers.

Well, let's talk about business.

"What I want to say is that although there are many scholars in the world, there are still very few who have really made it through the ten-year cold window. Most of the students, at best, remain unknown to everyone and remain unknown for a lifetime. Not to mention people, even when it comes to reading, of course there are some people who are as thorough as my father, and it is not a problem to take the test of merit, but there are also people who are not good at poetry and books, but are very good at other aspects, such as the second uncle The bricklayer is doing a good job, and the third uncle’s son-in-law is a good carpenter, so I wonder if our school can not only teach people to read poetry and books, but also teach some of these craftsmen’s crafts?"

Luo Baisu frowned, and didn't reprimand Luo Tiandu for being too whimsical. Instead, he thought about it seriously and said, "The method you mentioned is good, but craftsmen in the world depend on their craftsmanship for a living, so naturally they regard craftsmanship as very important." , most of them are passed down from father to son and from son to grandson. Many craftsmen refuse to pass on their skills even to their daughters. Not the master."

Of course, Luo Tiandu also knew the importance of craftsmanship to a craftsman, and she didn't expect to invite a master to give lectures in the school, so she said, "I mean, since my second uncle taught me how to read and write, can we think of a way? Get some agricultural books, medical books, medicine books, craftsman's books, etc., and store them in the school. As long as you can read the characters, whoever is interested in something in the village, and has the experience of the predecessors, you can learn to explore slowly. There is so much knowledge, how can I learn it all by relying on the teacher's instruction?"

Her idea is actually very simple. Build a small reading room and collect all kinds of books. The teachers in the school only teach basic reading and writing. In the future, which direction the students will develop will depend on their own thinking and hard work. .

Luo Baisu himself came from an official career, so he naturally hoped that there would be more scholars in Luojia Village, this is the right way.However, he also knew that what Luo Tian said was reasonable. There are so many scholars in the world, but those who have some family background and can afford to pay, most of them will send their children and grandchildren to school to find a good background. It is very rare, many people are not good at poetry and books, but they are very talented in other industries.For example, his niece Luo Tiandu is a good example. Needless to say, she can calculate quickly and quickly after muttering twice, without even needing an abacus. Those old shopkeepers who have been around for many years can't compare, and the account books are very unique. There are two circles on it, like a heavenly book. Even though he has read the books for so many years, he still can't understand them, but the family The money goes in and out of the account, but it is exactly right.

Luo Tian even mentioned it, but Luo Baisu really thought about it.They have a complete collection of books, but most of them are classics and history collections. There are more or less criminal laws, national annals, military strategists, and agricultural books. There are very few medical books, herbal medicines, and artisan books. In other words, there are many books for the imperial court, but few for the people of the world, but the foundation of the world is the people.In fact, there is also a lot of knowledge spread among the people. If a dedicated person works hard and sorts out one out of ten, it will be a blessing to the people of the world.

Luo Baisu thought about it this way, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was necessary. He spent several months sorting out the existing books in the Book Bureau, and then sorted out the list and submitted it.

He is based on the idea of ​​serving the people wholeheartedly, and he really wants to do something practical for the people. Besides, the Bureau of Publications is supposed to do this. Compiling history books is also writing, and sorting out these artisan books is also writing, but the subjects are different. Forgiveness, even if you agree to compile one or two categories, that is a blessing for the people.

Luo Tian didn't even know that he was merely making some unreasonable demands on Luo Baisu based on the principle of "learning what he has learned and applying what he has learned" in the later generations, but he would actually be written down as an excerpt. Put it in front of today.Of course, this is for another day.

She and Fang returned to Luojia Village in May, and did not return until the end of the year. There was an interval of six or seven months, and even Zuo Junyu's marriage was missed.

After the new year, on the tenth day of the lunar new year, Zuo Junya came to the door angrily with her maid.

Luo Tian hurriedly led her to his boudoir, and asked curiously: "It's Chinese New Year, who provoked you to be so angry?"

Zuo Junya only cared about getting angry, and didn't even reply, but a little maid next to her knew that Zuo Junya had always been close to Luo Tian, ​​so she found an opportunity and whispered to her.

There is no other reason. The Tongfeng doctor Zuo Junyu married was indeed handsome and extraordinary, with some talents in his chest. He had a good reputation outside. Zuo Junya also thought that her eldest sister married a good one. After marrying into the door, I realized that the man was very indulgent in women's sex. Not to mention several people in the house, there was another one outside, but it was usually kept a secret, and not many people knew about it.Zuo Junya knew that Zuo Junyu had just married and encountered a lot of disputes between wives and concubines, and she was so angry that she was half dead.It's just a doctor of Tongfeng. Although he is a third-rank doctor, he is a casual job and has no real power. Such a family married a daughter of the Zuo family, and they didn't cherish it. They even brought so many messy women into the house. Zuo Junya was furious.

"You look like a dog in front of people, but you are a scum in the back." These were Zuo Junya's original words learned by the maid.

The word slag was learned by Zuo Junya from Luo Tiandu later, but she always thought it was too vulgar and seldom used it, but now someone has learned it, which shows how angry Zuo Junya is.

Luo Tiandu agrees very much, she has seen Zuo Junyu before, not to mention her appearance, she is a first-class beauty with a gentle temperament, and she was carefully brought up by the Zuo family. Later, many of the hero killing cards produced by Luo Tiandu were also drawn by Zuo Junyu, not to mention his family background. To be honest, she also felt that no matter who it was, it was possible to marry someone like Zuo Junyu who was almost married. A perfect woman is really lucky. She never thought that a girl like Zuo Junyu would encounter such a result under Zuo Qingzhi's careful selection, which really left her speechless.If Qi Jin treats Luo Mingdu like this in the future, Luo Tian feels that he will definitely leave the book and take Luo Mingdu home.

"Our lady Ya is in a bad mood, and my wife is very strict at home. She is close to the little lady, so she can only run here."

She was listening to the maid talking about the cause and effect, when she suddenly heard the sound of "crackling" coming from the room, her heart tightened, and she didn't care about gossip, so she hurriedly opened the door and entered the room, or she saw Zuo Junya in the room He lost his temper and threw things, the set of teapots on the table was gone, and there were broken porcelain all over the floor.

Luo Tian was very heartbroken seeing it, even though it was just ordinary white porcelain, it was bought with money, okay?This little girl from Zuo Junya was really spoiled by her family, people in Zuofu talked too much and couldn't lose their temper, so she ran home and threw things.

Alas, this is a wrong friend.

Zuo Junya's eyes flicked around, as if she was still looking for something to drop.

Luo Tian looked at it and trembled in his heart.Mother, they came from small families, so it's not easy to save two dollars, okay?She glanced left and right, and when she saw the snow piled up in the yard, she rolled her eyes and got an idea.
