Chapter 271 Willing to Die for It

"Mr. Fu, Grandpa, why don't we discuss this? Studying abroad is a rare opportunity for children. Why don't we sit down and have a good discussion?" Su Ying suggested.

Too many children will definitely have an impact on the caravan. They won’t be able to do business normally and they also have to worry about the children’s safety.

"What does Miss Su think?" asked Mr. Fu.

"Well, originally I was thinking of taking your caravan to work and study, and learning as I went along.

"But there are so many children, and most of them are around 11 or 12 years old. When there are so many people, there will always be times when you can't see them, and it will be hard to explain if something happens," Su Ying analyzed.

Fu Zhong looked at Su Ying and asked, "So you knew?"

Su Ying smiled apologetically at Fu Zhong. She didn’t expect so many people would want to go!

Ade fell silent after hearing this. Indeed! All the pressure was placed on the Fu family. They had no connection with Jinfeng Village, but they were just business acquaintances. Why should they bear such a heavy responsibility?

"It's not easy to get out of here. We can only take the caravan of Fu Dong family. We only trust the caravan of Fu Dong family. We don't know or trust any other caravans.

We divided the study tour participants into two groups. This group took care of the older children, accumulated experience, and also motivated the children behind them to work hard.

We asked the county and state governments for official documents, received support from the government, and were also guaranteed transportation.

The last step is to sign a document with the child’s parents, as there may be many emergencies when going out.

For example, unforeseen and irresistible natural disasters, such as violent storms, mudslides, floods, sea waves, and acclimatization, could cause accidents to children and have nothing to do with the caravan," Su Ying explained one by one.

"Yes, yes, it has nothing to do with the caravan!" Ade said hurriedly.

"That's great!" Mr. Fu agreed.

Dividing the team into two groups reduced the number of personnel and reduced the pressure on him. If he asked the government for official documents, the county government and the state government would be there to help him if he had any problems.

Although he is not afraid, on the surface he is just a businessman and he will try not to use the power behind him if possible.

Signing the paperwork with my parents was essential. Who knew what we might encounter along the way? Natural disasters aside, there were also wild animals and robbers.

He didn't want anything to happen, and he didn't want to be bothered by others, crying and getting into trouble.

He had a mission to complete, and these things were beyond his expectations. They would bring him no benefit and would cause him a lot of trouble, so he could just refuse them outright.

Studying abroad was a way of studying in ancient times. A teacher would travel around with one or several students, make friends and communicate with famous people from all over the place, help students make a name for themselves, and pave the way for their future.

The most famous example of a study tour was when Confucius traveled around the countries with his three thousand disciples.

But Fu Zhong is not a gentleman, let alone Confucius.

Heaven, Earth, Emperor, Parents and Teachers. As a teacher, your status is equivalent to that of a parent and you have the obligation to discipline your children. If something happens during a study tour, the parents will not hold you responsible.

He was the caravan leading them on the trip. If something really happened and his parents made a fuss, wouldn't he die unjustly?

Fu Zhong and A De thought Su Ying's suggestion was a good one.

So they discussed the details in detail. Those who had never been to school and were too young would be arranged in the next batch. Hu Erlang and Su Ying went to Magistrate Hu and Governor Lu to ask for official documents.

Mr. Su Zhongyan was the leader of the team. Among his students, Zhaoyan and Bingyan were fugitives and could not leave Wu County. They had to ask the county government and the state government to issue a special official document for passage.

Otherwise, you might be caught as a fugitive along the way, which would be a big trouble.

Then we select the children, sign a waiver with their parents, and train them on road safety awareness, self-rescue measures, and basic health and medical knowledge.

After sorting out the things and dividing everyone's responsibilities, obligations and things to do, everyone felt much more relaxed and things proceeded in an orderly manner.

Those children who begged to go to school and study abroad were placed in the second batch and would go to Huanggou Village to go to school in a few days.

Ah Hei traveled with the caravan this time.

After hearing the results, the children ran home cheering and told their parents the good news.

Ah Hei just laughed foolishly and only said thank you, thank you to the few people present!

Growing up, I never thought that one day I would leave my hometown and see the outside world.

Soon everyone in the village knew that some children would soon go to Lingnan to study with the caravan, and they all ran to Ade's house to express their gratitude to Fuzhong, Hu Erlang, Su Ying and Ade.

For the Li people who have never left Heifeng Township and Wu County for generations, this is a big deal. Their children are more capable and promising than themselves, so they want to go out and broaden their horizons.

There were many things to do, so they didn't stay in Jinfeng Village for long.

After coming out, Hu Erlang and Fuwang returned to Wu County to make preparations. The provincial government official asked Lu, the governor, for it through Su Bucheng.

Su Ying and Fu Zhong returned to Huanggou Village and discussed with the villagers which children would go there, as well as the finished products of colored silk and winter melon candies. They would bring the children to meet at the county government office ten days later.

Fu Zhong wanted to see with his own eyes the finished product of the colored silk and send it to the Empress.

During the Silkworm Rearing Ceremony at the beginning of next spring, it will be a shocking and eye-catching event for the Empress to raise natural colored silkworms herself!

Thinking of this, Fu Zhong glanced at Su Ying several times.

"Why are you looking at me, Mr. Fu? Do you have something to say?" Su Ying looked at Fu Zhong strangely.

"Ahem!" Fu Zhong coughed lightly, feeling embarrassed. "Um, Miss Su, can you please hold off on showing your colored silk to the world for now?"

"Oh, Mr. Fu has something planned?" Su Ying thought for a moment and said.

"Haha, at least your Su family and Huanggou Village won't suffer any loss." Fu Zhong smiled.

"In that case, we'll follow Mr. Fu's arrangements. This technology needs to be improved. The next few seasons of silkworms will be used to correct the problem of varying shades of color, and also to modify the silk reeling machines and looms," Su Ying said.

"Does Miss Su trust me so much? Isn't she afraid that I will take the technology for myself? And burn down Huanggou Village to silence everyone?" Fu Zhong joked.

"Haha, if Mr. Fu only had this much vision, he wouldn't have built such a huge business network. Killing the goose that lays the golden eggs is something only petty and short-sighted people would do.

Those who are truly broad-minded and far-sighted will choose a mutually beneficial and win-win approach so that everyone can get rich together.

"This technology will benefit the people of this area. With this technology, Wu County and Tong County will dominate silkworm products for thousands of years." Su Ying said gracefully.

"Miss Su is indeed an extraordinary woman! If she were in Chang..." Thinking that she was from Chang'an, he stopped talking in embarrassment.

Su Ying smiled, knowing that Fu Zhong would say that if he were in Chang'an, he would be famous in the capital.

In fact, what Fu Zhong wanted to say was that if he were in Chang'an, with this skill, he would definitely be summoned by the Queen.

For a girl in the boudoir, being summoned by the Empress would definitely increase her value and be of great benefit to her marriage.

Fu Zhong did not know that Su Ying's engagement was broken off in public by Lu Jia, the Minister of Works.

"How does Miss Su want to improve the silk reeling machine and loom? Could you please tell me?" Fu Zhong was delighted.

Through the Empress, these will be promoted to the whole world to demonstrate the Empress's benevolence and virtue.

Reselling old rice was just completing the task. The colored silk, silk reeling machine and loom were unexpected surprises. Fu Zhong really wanted to report them to the empress immediately to make her happy!

In Fu Zhong's heart, the Queen Mother is not only his benefactor and noble lady, but also his mentor.

He was saved and given important positions when he was at his lowest point, on the verge of death! He was grateful for it his entire life and was willing to sacrifice his life for it.
