Chapter 275

With the book, Fang and Luo Ming helped cut a lot of red paper and bound it into a red paper book. Carpenter Wu helped to make a large wooden board, which was planed clean and used as a blackboard. According to Luo Tiandu's description, a few bunk beds, more than a dozen long benches and small mats, etc., are finally ready when the class starts.

On the fifth day when classes were about to start, the students were taken to the county office early by their parents. The children in the class far away from home consciously brought along bedding and other items. This was requested by Luo Tiandu in advance. Yes, the county yamen, the government offices, and the government offices are all empty now, but there are houses to live in, but they can't afford many mattresses and the like, so they have to prepare them by themselves.Not only the bedding, but also the rations, which are calculated to be enough for the children to feed for two days. It is impossible for someone to teach the children to study without charging them, and they have to take care of the food.

Luo Tian saw that the quilts they carried back were all old and thin, and the reed flowers and the like inside were basically gone. The quilt was also patched here and there, and some patches were still New ones, it can be seen that they should have been made in a hurry in the past few days, but this kind of bedding must be the best that these mountain people can scrape together.

In addition to the bedding and luggage, these people had more or less other things on their hands, some of which were two tits that were shot, and some freshly caught fish, which were carried by strings with straw ropes. The fish was not dead yet. Occasionally, the tail would jump, and some carried some mountain products, which seemed to be freshly picked, and there were old ones, who neither knew how to hunt nor went to the mountains, so they went to cut bamboo. , chopped into thin bamboo strips, weaved a lot of small things like baskets and baskets, and picked them up. Although the things are not expensive, they are more or less thoughtful.

Luo Tiandu was not pretentious, he accepted all of them, those mountain goods and so on, it was good to eat when he had nothing to do, baskets, baskets and baskets, it was also very practical to keep his own stuff, as for those wild game fish and so on, He took it in and asked Fang to clean it up, saving it for dinner.

Luo Tiandu first asked them to take the children to send the bedding and other things to the tax office according to the arranged list, and arrange four people in one room.When those people entered the room, they were first attracted by the two bunk beds on both sides of the room. The beds were not big enough, just wide enough for a child to roll around. They were not gorgeous, and there were no extra decorations. , that is, four pillars are installed on the four corners. The wood is also the most common birch on the mountain, but it looks very strong. It can be seen that the carpenter who made the bed put a lot of effort into it, planing it evenly and polishing it. It is very smooth, with two upper and lower floors, and a small staircase is built at the head of the bed to facilitate the people on the upper bunk to climb up and down.

In the direction of the wall on the other side of the room, there is a row of cabinets, four doors, four grids, one grid for each of the four children, to store their own clothes and other items. There are two square tables in the middle of the room, and there are There are four long benches, and a wooden shelf is placed in the direction of the corner, and there is nothing else.

Those people looked at the bed and gave a tsk-tsk compliment, or how can I say that scholars are different from others, even making a bed can make so many tricks, so arranged, let alone four people in one room Children, even if there are four adults living in it, they don't feel crowded.

The adults chose the beds, helped to make the bedding and bedding, put the pitifully small luggage they brought into the locker, and took the children to the front lecture hall. It is important to enter school and let your children start reading.

Luo Tian had already planned it out. The first lesson was mainly to give these monkey children scientific names. She was not good at this, so she cunningly handed over this glorious task to the new master Bo.Master Bo's surname is Tan, and he is only of ordinary background, and his family has no connections, otherwise he would not have won the Jinshi. It took him two years to choose the vacancy of Yi County Lord Bo.He had just arrived and was worried that he would not be able to curry favor with Luo Baisu. When Luo Tian asked him to give lectures, he readily agreed.

When the mountain people heard that the county official wanted to name their child, all of them refused to leave. They insisted on sitting in the school and waited for Lord Tan to choose the child's name before they were willing to go back. .Qin Zhubo was originally full of ambitions. When he entered the lecture hall, he saw that the room was full of black heads. Everyone, big and small, looked at him with expectant eyes, hoping that he would give his children Picking an auspicious and auspicious name suddenly made my head big like a bucket.He can understand the reason why the grandpa's daughter has put down all kinds of good words to him these days. For 47 children, they have to get 47 names, and it can't be perfunctory. I racked my brains for a while and couldn't think of it.

"Master Tan, I'm begging you." Luo Tian was so good at being a shopkeeper, he put a hat on Mr. Tan, and walked out of the lecture hall with his hands, busy with his own work.

Although it is autumn now, the weather has cooled down, but there are so many people crowded together in the room, the air is not fresh first, especially these mountain people are very poor, their hygiene habits are not very good, and the smell is even stronger Well, it's not that Luo Tian dislikes them, it's just that they smell uncomfortable.

Seeing so many people coming to the house, Luo Zijin came out curiously to watch the excitement, and was carried back by Ding Wu.Ding Wu has started to read now, followed Luo Tiandu to read and recognize characters, and learned some simple arithmetic. If he didn't understand something in the poems and books, he would write it down and let Luo Baisu explain it to him when he had time.This child's intelligence is average, but he is very diligent and hardworking. If you can't remember the things you teach him once, you can read them twice, and if you can't remember them twice, you can read them three times or four times. No matter how stupidly he recited the stuff twenty or thirty times, he should be able to understand it. Luo Tian was quite satisfied.

She originally trained Ding Wu to follow the direction of Luo Zijin's housekeeper in the future. It's one thing to be smart or not, but loyal and reliable is the most important thing.

Ding Wu was shocked when he saw so many people in front of him, he smacked his lips and said, "Little lady, these will all be your students from now on?" He looked at Luo Tiandu with admiring eyes, these days scholars have high status Ah, Mr. Ren is very respected by others, and Luo Tian is a girl, but there are so many people who are willing to study under her name, what an honor it is.

Luo Tiandu smiled and said: "How can it be, I just teach them how to calculate and learn some accounting skills. My father and others taught them how to read and write."

"That's amazing too. The young lady is a lady from our Yi county." Ding Wu understood that before Master Qin came, Luo Tian was in charge of the county government's account book, and he could be regarded as a good official. Accounting, that is a very capable person. When his grandfather was alive, he told him before that the shopkeepers outside are amazing. If they manage the accounts well, others are willing to spend a lot of money to hire them. He thinks that if the young lady is not Born in an official family, I'm afraid some people are willing to ask her to be the shopkeeper.

Luo Tian didn't like to hear such flattery, even if the flattery was from Ding Wu's heart, she wasn't used to hearing it, so she quickly staggered the topic: "Don't talk about it, you will learn from them from now on. After the class, I will tell you about the calculations for another hour, and if you don’t understand anything, you can ask me anytime.”

Ding Wu nodded and narrowed his eyes with a smile: "I listen to the little lady."

Being able to eat, clothe, read and practice calligraphy is something he never dared to think about before. He doesn't know how to repay the Luo family who gave him all this. He can only study harder and harder, and he only hopes that he can learn more With these skills, the Luo family will be able to use him one day in the future.

Luo Tiandu taught Ding Wu the content of today's study, and gave him homework for him to figure out by himself, then turned to the front to see how Tan Zhubo's name was getting.

After all, Master Tan was born in a serious scientific examination. He was a little flustered at first, but soon calmed down, and gave each of the children a good name with a deep meaning. The parents of the children heard that their children finally had a baby. The daimyo, too, was overjoyed, calling over and over again those amazing names, and every time he called out, his own leather monkey responded with a tender voice, and his heart felt like drinking honey, feeling very happy .

Luo Tian took a look, um, don't worry, this Tan Zhubo is quite reliable in his work.

Tan Zhubo picked up forty or fifty names in a row, and his head felt like hurting. When he saw Luo Tiandu, he smiled and said: "The task that the young lady told me was finally completed. Fortunately, I did not disgrace my life."

Luo Tiandu waved to the outside, and Cheng Qing and Zishu each brought a big basket over and put it on the lecture hall. Inside were the books that Luo Baisu and the others had copied all night, as well as several tailors from the Fang family and Luo Mingdu. A good red paper book, Xiang Lan is good at needle and thread, and has sewed many cloth bags for the past few days. The cloth bag is a square pocket sewn with local homemade cloth. The two corners of the pocket are A strap is firmly sewn on the top, which can be carried on the shoulder, which is very convenient.

In the morning, Luo Tiandu and Luo Mingdu put the copied books and red paper into bags, and now Luo Tiandu took them out, and distributed one copy to the children.

She thought to herself, it's not easy to train two people these days. It's just the most simple things that cost a lot of money. This is only the cost of paper and ink, and the labor costs of Luo Baisu and the others are not included in the calculation at all. Inside.

The official gave lectures, and he gave out books and paper. The mountain people were very moved. They felt that Yi County had been suffering for so many years, and finally God opened his eyes and sent such a good official who is considerate of the people.There was a black and thin old man, stroking the book whose ink was not completely dry, and shed a handful of bitter old tears on the spot. It was unclear whether it was tears or snot, and they flowed down together. He cried and said: "My ancestors are here, our children have started school, woo woo woo..." He looked very embarrassed.

Some men didn't cry, but their eyes were red, and they threatened their sons viciously: "Follow your master's study seriously, if you dare to be lazy, see if I don't beat you to death!"

Looking at such a scene, Luo Tian felt a headache. After she finished distributing the books one by one, she quietly slipped away again with her shoulders shrunk and her toes tiptoed.
