Zhang Hulan replied: "If I say that I want to learn advanced knowledge, spread knowledge, and become a great scholar in the future, that's too false.

Sending children to school is nothing more than to open their minds, learn some knowledge, and prevent them from being deceived after learning a few words.

It would be better if they had a talent for reading and could make something of it.

No one wants their children to be like themselves, working the fields all their lives.

As parents and elders, we all hope that our younger generations can succeed.”

"Yeah, that's right, very practical." Fu Xiyang nodded more deeply this time. He said, "Unlike some people, who want their children to study in the hope that they can become officials in the future. There are tens of thousands of scholars in the world, but how many of them can become officials? If it were so easy to become an official, wouldn't everyone in the world be an official?"

"What Master Fushan said is true. We should be down-to-earth and self-aware. Most people in this world are ordinary people, so we should admit that we are ordinary."

Fu Xiyang looked at Zhang Hulan in surprise. He didn't expect that this village woman in front of him had such insight.

Fu Xiyang put down the book in her hand, with a look of admiration in her eyes. "You are a very insightful woman. Bring your child here. If your child is as smart and insightful as you, he might be a talented person with great potential."

Zhang Hulan hurriedly thanked him: "Thank you, Headmaster Fushan! I won't be able to study for many days before the New Year, so can I bring the children here after the New Year?"

Fu Xiyang nodded slightly, "Yes!"

Zhang Hulan then asked, "Excuse me, headmaster, how much is this monthly salary?"

Fu Xiyang said, "The tuition for the introductory class is 300 wen a month. If you eat and live in the academy, it will be an additional 300 wen. We have one day off in the middle and at the end of each month."

Zhang Hulan thanked him again and left.

Looking at Zhang Hulan's departing back, Fu Xiyang couldn't help but sigh. It was rare for a village woman to have such a clear mind.

How many people in this world study for something other than fame and fortune? Those people do not study purely for fame and fortune...

When Zhang Hulan came out from Fu Xiyang's place and arrived at the gate of the academy, she found Luo Changqi and the doorman chatting animatedly. It turned out that the doorman was also a retired veteran.

The doorman is older than Luo Changqi and joined the army earlier than Luo Changqi.

Seeing Zhang Hulan coming out, Luo Changqi ended his conversation with the doorman and said goodbye.

After leaving the academy, Zhang Hulan and Luo Changqi came to the brokerage shop, where the broker greeted them warmly. "Madam, what kind of servant do you want to buy?"

Zhang Hulan said, "Buy a few honest and hardworking servants."

The dentist nodded quickly: "Don't worry, ma'am. The servants in our dentistry are all carefully selected and guaranteed to be honest and reliable. I will introduce a few to you right away."

The broker brought out ten servants for Zhang Hulan to choose from. Zhang Hulan handed the task of selecting the servants over to Luo Changqi.

Luo Changqi said: "We need a lot of people, bring out all the servants from your dental clinic."

The brothel's eyes lit up. The two people, who were dressed normally, were actually big customers.

The pawnbroker immediately brought out all the servants of the pawnbroker's shop, there were hundreds of them.

Luo Changqi asked the broker about the situations of those people, then he carefully observed their words and actions, and finally selected only twenty young and strong ones.

When Zhang Hulan saw that Luo Changqiquan only picked men, she felt that this was not a good idea and that it would be better to have a better mix of men and women.

Zhang Hulan said, "Uncle Luo, please pick some more women."

Luo Changqi asked: "Do you want a maid or old woman who can serve you?"

Zhang Hulan shook her head. "We don't need maids for the time being. We need to find workers first. Feeding is not hard work, and women can do it."

Luo Changqi nodded, and then selected fifteen more women.

The price for men was higher, five taels of silver per person, while the price for women was slightly lower, only four taels.

Zhang Hulan sighed that these people were not even worth a good cow.

Of course, these people are just ordinary servants and have no special skills.

If the person has some skills or can read, the price will be higher. If the person is young and good-looking, the price will also be higher, sometimes more than ten or twenty taels.

He bought thirty-five servants at once. Luo Changqi bargained with the broker and ended up paying one hundred coins less for each servant.

Zhang Hulan paid the silver and waited for the bought servants to get their belongings, then he left the pawnshop with the thirty-five servants.

Zhang Hulan meant to find a ox cart to send the servants back to the village. The distance was not short and it would take a long time to walk back.

Luo Changqi shook his head at Zhang Hulan and said that he would let the servants go back just to see if there were any disobedient people among them.

Luo Changqi whispered, "My niece, don't underestimate this as just a short walk.

A person's personality and behavioral habits can be roughly judged from his walking posture.

Some people live honestly and obediently. Such people may look dull, but they are the easiest to manage.

If you say go east, they go east. If you say go west, they go west.

Some people walk casually, carelessly, or look around.

Such people are thoughtful, rebellious and dishonest, and are the focus of attention.

It doesn’t matter if there is no bad intention, but what I’m afraid of is people with evil intentions.

It's impossible to judge what kind of person he is based on just a few words.

People will basically pretend to be something in front of others, so we have to judge a person by his or her words and actions behind their backs. "

After listening to Luo Changqi's words, Zhang Hulan secretly admired him.

People who have served in the military are different. They can see so many things just by walking.

The servants walked towards the village, and Zhang Hulan and Luo Changqi followed slowly behind them driving the donkey cart.
