Bai Yejin never wanted to embarrass Lin Yifeng. Although she didn't know why Lin Yifeng asked such a question, she still smiled and replied, "The school is in the south of the village. Why not build the school gate in the north? That way, students can walk less distance to get to school from the village."

The main gate faces north, overlooking the village, and is used by students from Guangnapaishi Village.

"This is a very prudent choice," Lin Yifeng smiled upon hearing this. He squinted, looking at the terraced fields in the distance and the mountains beyond them, and said in a deep voice:

"Facing north does allow students to walk less, but it also eliminates the possibility for students from other villages to come to school."

Lin Yifeng smiled and said, "Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day; teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime."

“The village of Paishitou is very poor now. No one has the money to send their children to school. Only when the students receive some financial aid will they be willing to send their children to school for such a small amount of money.”

"But Paishi Village won't stay poor forever, and neither will Shuiyun Town."

"Once everyone has more money in the future and no longer cares about this monthly subsidy of ten or twenty yuan, students from other villages will definitely have to consider it when it comes to schooling."

"For example, our Paishitou Village has better educational resources, so would they send their children to the school in our Paishitou Village?"

"If we face the school gate to the south, towards the road leading to the outside world."

"Perhaps this will make parents from other villages more consider sending their children to school in our village in the future."

Lin Yifeng won't keep providing financial support to Shitou Village indefinitely.

The monthly stipend of 20 yuan is not a permanent grant.

When everyone becomes wealthy, and when the country truly begins to exempt all tuition fees and implement nine-year compulsory education.

Then student grants will become a thing of the past.

Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day; teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime.

Lin Yifeng is not a great saint; he cannot unconditionally support the people of Paishi Village.

Even though he grew up in Paishi Village.

Do students from other villages come to Shitou Village to attend school?

Bai Yejin thought it was unlikely: "Other villages don't give them scholarships or subsidies, so they definitely won't come to Paishi Village to study."

"Maybe!"

Lin Yifeng did not give a definite answer. He looked at the two Zhao brothers and their child who were busy in the wasteland.

He sighed softly, "My abilities are limited; this is all I can do."

Who can say for sure what the future holds?

"You've already done a great job!"

Bai Yejin praised Lin Yifeng from the bottom of her heart: "In my eyes, you are like a saint!"

"Hey hey hey!"

"You wouldn't dare say such a thing!"

How many people can truly bear the title of "sage"?

Lin Yifeng quickly waved his hand: "What saint? I'm just an ordinary person."

Let's pause for a moment.

Lin Yifeng said, word by word.

"Be an ordinary person."

"Greedy for money and lustful."

"Upright and righteous."
