Chapter 282

Mrs. Qin said happily: "That's just right. Today we head back to the stockade. First, we want to see if the folks in the stockade are okay. Second, we also want to open up wasteland. If possible, we still want to go back to Xuzhou. The family village, after all, is where the roots are.”

Luo Tiandu nodded, and said: "It's nothing to worry about. I'll go back and tell my father. When the time comes, no matter which one of your family has registered with the yamen, you can go back and open the land."

Mrs. Qin also nodded: "I'll tell him when our master comes back."

Luo Tian thought for a while, and then asked: "Sister-in-law Qin, I moved to other places with you back then, do you still have many contacts now?"

Mrs. Tan said: "Oh, back then I had no choice but to move outside. Everyone went wherever they could find food. Now almost all of them have lost contact, but they have contact. These few days The years have not been very satisfactory." She is also because her father-in-law has been helping in the county, earning tens of thousands of dollars, and she said how good the grandfather is, how sympathetic the people are, and they can't be forced by others in Ba Xun. I just moved back as a living horse doctor, but I never thought that the situation in the county today is quite different from last year.

"Sister Qin, do you think it's easier to live in the county than to live outside?"

Mrs. Tan hesitated for a moment, and said honestly: "If the county has always been like this, the imperial court can protect the people from being plundered by the barbarians, and the villagers can have land to grow. Naturally, it is easier to live in their hometown, and they are not familiar with the place outside. , but also be squeezed out, if there is no other way, who would want to leave the hometown with a background."

Luo Tian heard this, and said thoughtfully, "Sister Qin, I'm helping Doctor You's shop next door, so I'll go there first. If you have anything to do, you can either go to Doctor You, or come to the county. Ya can find me."

"Hey." Mrs. Qin quickly got up to see her off, "If you have nothing to do, little lady, come and sit down more." After saying that, I felt a slip of the tongue, my house was in a mess, and Luo Tiandu didn't even have a place to sit when he came. , how she would like to come.

"Sure, I'll come over and talk to Mrs. Tan when I'm free."

Luo Tian went out of the grocery store, and saw Dr. You standing at the door as if waiting for her. Seeing her return, he handed a sieve to her without saying a word: "Put all the medicinal materials here in the afternoon. Figure it out."

Luo Tian always put the sieve on the table, observed its color and smelled its smell, and sorted the medicinal materials blindly into categories. This is the only job she can do now, and every time she finishes sorting the categories, Doctor You is still worried and has to check it himself Once, nothing is missing before it can be put into the medicine cabinet.

Sometimes Luo Tian felt that it would be faster for Old Man You to do these things himself, but Old Man You didn't think it was troublesome, so she didn't say anything, she was happy to learn more.

After spending the afternoon at the pharmacy, in the evening, Ding Wu came to deliver meals to Old Man You, and took Luo Tiandu back by the way.

Luo Tiandu clapped his hands and said, "Uncle You, I'm going home first."

Old man You didn't wave her back like before, he handed her a book and a few medicine packs, and said, "It's estimated that the weather will change in the past two days. Don’t come here anymore, read this pharmacology book thoroughly, I’ve prepared several medicines for you, you can see for yourself, what kind of medicines are there, what problems can be treated, and then tell me after you understand it.”

"Hey, I see." Luo Tian saw that Doctor You had already sat down at the table and started to eat, so he said, "Old man, you are alone, and there is no one in the pharmacy anyway, so why don't you come back at night?" Let's live there, and we can keep company with Uncle Gan and the others."

Doctor You waved his hand and said, "I'm clean by myself, you should go back quickly."

Seeing this, Luo Tian stopped persuading her, put the book and medicine bag in the basket, and went back with Ding Wu. On the way, Ding Wu wanted to help her carry things several times, but she refused.In her eyes, Ding Wu is still a child, and things are not heavy, so there is no need to exploit a child like that.

Two days later, the head of Xu's family came to the county government office to register for land reclamation.These matters are now handed over to the new boss Tan, who was giving lectures at that time, so Luo Tiandu asked the guards to welcome Master Xu to the wing to rest, and she went to the tax office to replace Tan. thin down.

Originally, the imperial court encouraged land reclamation, but now Yi County is short of manpower, and they wished that the villagers who had moved away could come back to reclaim the fields, so the Xu family's affairs went very smoothly, and now Luo Baisu and Tan are the masters in the yamen. There are two masters, Luo Baisu has always been upright, and Tan master Bo is also a newcomer to the official career, and he is a bit of a scholar's arrogance. The head of Xu's family didn't even accept the money he had prepared for routine filial piety, so he took care of his affairs.

Master Xu couldn't believe that when he entered the Yamen to do things so smoothly, Master Qin was worried that his lecture was halfway through, so he didn't say much, and asked the guards to send Master Xu out, while he himself rushed to the office. Go to the tax office.

When Mr. Xu came out, he saw the sound of reading from the courtyard on the left. He felt strange and asked the guard, "Master, is there a lecture hall in the yamen? Why is there still the sound of reading?"

The guard was not as vicious as in other yamen, and said very kindly: "The young lady of the grandfather's family is kind, seeing that there is not even a school in our county, and the tax office is empty, so she packed it up and used it as a lecture hall. There is nothing to teach the children."

The guard had just taken office not long ago, and he was also a local mountain citizen. When he talked about the affairs of the county government, he was very proud. Such a grandfather who cared about the people, through the ages, I am afraid that they are the only one in Yi County, Mr. Luo.

The head of Xu's family clicked his tongue: "This is amazing, a female wife has emerged in our county."

"Not only my little lady, Mrs. Bo, Mr. Gan, Mr. Wu, Mr. Wu, and Dr. You are all going to give lectures. They teach poetry, bookmaking, carpentry, blacksmithing, and medical science. Our little lady only speaks clearly. She can teach anything else she wants to teach." No, hahaha."

Master Xu's heart moved when he heard this, and asked: "Isn't the school only teaching the books of sages? How can they teach these trivial skills?"

"Brother, you don't understand. There are so many people in the world, and anyone whose family conditions are slightly better wants to send their children to school, but to be honest, not everyone is a student. stuff, right?"

Master Xu nodded in agreement.

"Don't look at some people who can't study well, but they can learn quickly about others." The guard raised his chin towards the tax office, "Well, there are more than 40 children there, but our master Bo also said Well, there are only five or six who can read. Now he teaches poetry and books and takes care of those five or six children. The rest of the children are just to make them more sensible. There are a few little monkeys who are now following the little lady. Learn to count, listen to the little lady, if you study hard for a few more years, it will not be a problem to be a accountant or something, and there is a little girl who can't do anything, so anxious that the little lady wants to beat her with a ruler Yes, I am a student who knows how to recognize medicinal materials, and I have been recognized as an apprentice by Doctor You, now I spend all my time helping out in the pharmacy except listening to the master's lectures."

Where did the head of Xu see such a thing? These craftsmen have only heard about masters leading apprentices, and fathers passing on to sons.

The guard was very satisfied with his reaction, and said with a bit of showing off: "You don't know that, do you? Our little lady said, what is it that you learn and apply what you have learned? Everyone can find what suits them. Go and learn things, and you can learn them well.” His little monkey is now also learning to count from the little lady, although he doesn’t understand those things, but he can hear the children muttering about things in front of him from time to time. 49 , 36 and the like, my heart is really sweeter than eating honey.

Hearing this, Master Xu's heart was filled with joy. His son had been sent to a carpentry shop in the city as an apprentice since he was eight years old. He said he was an apprentice, but in fact he was a free long-term worker. For work, the master is still reluctant to pass on his skills. He has not even opened a cabinet for several years. According to this poor man, there seems to be a carpentry class in this school. Do you want to send your children to learn it?

Usually, it is rare for a stranger to come to the county government office. Everyone in the government office is busy, and no one has time to spare. It is difficult for the officers to find someone to talk to when they are free. Today, a stranger came here with great difficulty, so he came back from outside. Yes, he didn't know anything about the situation in the county. He showed off and was in a good mood, so he kindly reminded: "Your family is from Baxun, no wonder you don't know about this. I think you are not young anymore. If you have children at home, you might as well send them over to learn more skills. Children can’t do much at home. Let’s sleep less in the morning, rest less at noon, and stretch out our hands for a while. The kung fu is done, and there is no delay, if the child can really learn something, then there is no need to worry about it in the future, don't you think?"

Hearing this, the head of Xu's family was in the middle of his heart, and asked again: "To tell you the truth, there is also a skinny boy in the family. I would like to send him here, but it's a pity that I don't have much money, otherwise I wouldn't come from Ba Xun." I moved back again. Dare I ask the poor man, how much does the school charge for Shuxiu every year?" He thought that since the lecturers were Mr. Bo, the master of the county, and a young lady from the grandfather's family, then Shuxiu should not be cheap.

The guard laughed loudly: "Brother Xu, don't worry, I told you that our grandpa is kind. The children sent here not only don't finish their training, but also give out books. They live far away, and they stay here at night. The grandpa takes care of the meals. Each family only needs to provide some grain and rice.”

"It's really such a good thing?" Head Xu couldn't believe it.

"No, our Yi County is really blessed by God, so such a good official came here." After the guard finished speaking, he hummed an unknown tune and walked away shaking his head.
