Chapter 350: Worthy of Playing Politics
"Hahahahaha, then aren't we the same as the rich boss?"
There are also some contributions that are vague and intangible to the people. What are they?
Lin Xinhuan looked around the entire store, which was separated by an entire house. The front was where goods were sold, and the back was where she lived and had a warehouse.
"The accommodation at the back is for the storekeeper and the servants to rest and help watch over things."
"Since there is a servant, how can you do it yourself, Linlang?"
As the treasure of the Zhu family, Zhu Linglang must have never worked hard to make a living before.
"Hehe, I don't need to do anything to get the things directly from the supermarket. Besides, I started practicing martial arts, so moving more things is also a form of exercise."
She showed Lin Xinhuan the bulging lines of her arms. Her originally fair and tender skin was now tanned, like a snow-white fox that had rolled happily in the mud.
She couldn't always put her life in the hands of others, so she made time every day to practice martial arts with Chang Yuan and the others.
If there is someone else helping in the store, what should I do if Xinhuan suddenly shows up? It’s safer for me to be alone in the store.
Lin Xinhuan didn't want too many people to know about her peculiarity. She could only appear within ten meters of the jade pendant. If she appeared out of thin air as a living person, even people who had seen zombies in the apocalypse would be scared to death.
Lin Xinhuan also thought of this: "I'll make an appointment with you to come later."
"The Lingshan Supermarket branch is open today, go check it out."
"Lingshan Supermarket Branch, what a weird name?"
"What do you care what name people want to give it?"
"Have you heard that you can exchange contribution points for things in the branch?"
"Contribution points? I've been saving them but they're useless. I don't know what to do with them. I still have over a thousand in my card."
"What! More than a thousand? How did you save that? I only saved more than five hundred for building a house!"
"Killing zombies still makes money quickly. Now we go with the God's Gift Army to clean up the zombies. It's safer. The same number of people who go out every day come back."
"Wow! Killing zombies is such a reward."
"Yes, I heard that we will go to clean up Bishui County in a few days. You can sign up."
The listener was thoughtful, but...zombies can eat people. Thinking of his relatives covered in blood, he dared not take another step forward.
"Brother Qi, look, this is a flashlight. Our flashlight is out of battery, right? Last time the housekeeper said we could change it. Where is it?"
Shitou and Yaoqi happened to be taking a break today, and when they happened to see the tribe's store opening, they decided to join in the fun.
"With a flashlight, I don't have to worry about falling into a pit when going to the toilet. It really saved my life!"
The appearance of the flashlight was regarded as the ancestor of Stone. When he was seven or eight years old, he couldn't hold it in at night and couldn't find the toilet in the room. Relying on his familiarity with the house, he groped his way to the toilet.
In the end, I didn't step firmly and fell down. The moment I fell, a big warning sounded in my mind: It's over, see you in the next life, brothers.
The throat said that he could still live a little longer and all his organs should be prepared. Whether he could see the sun tomorrow depended on this moment!
He desperately called for help. Coincidentally, he had just dug out feces the day before and it wasn't deep, so he managed to get to the village where people rescued him.
Even if he couldn't bear the smell any longer, he never dared to go to the toilet at night again.
"Shall we go ask?"
The team soon took their turn.
"Bring your flashlight, which is out of battery. You need to charge it here overnight. When it is fully charged tomorrow, you can take it back. Each charge gives 5 contribution points. How many do you want to charge?"
"Two."
"Did you bring it?"
Can we leave the baby with us? They both took out the dead flashlight from their pockets.
The manager took the flashlight and two cards, clipped the cards into the groove of the box, and displayed numbers on the board facing the person's face. Yao Qi took a look and realized that this was the number of contribution points in his card.
"After deducting 5 contribution points, there are 2575 contribution points left. Please check the quantity."
“Yes, yes, yes.” Yao Qi used to be a butcher, so if he wanted to do business, he could naturally calculate the amount.
After the steward pressed the button a few times, the numbers in front of him really changed.
"Don't you need paper and pen? Why are the words on the board changing?"
Shitou exclaimed, and touched the screen with his hand. It was smooth and cool, and there was no ink stain on his hand.
"Oh my God! Is this a treasure from heaven?"
The steward smiled. This was not the first person to ask a question today, nor was it the first time he answered. Facing the amazement and curiosity, his eyes revealed pride: "I learned it from books. If you have time, you can go to the school in the manor to take classes. The secrets are all in the books.
I will label the flashlights with the numbers on your cards. Don’t forget to pick them up at the same time tomorrow.”
"School? That's for kids. Why should we adults learn that?" Shitou waved his hands. His family had no money to send him to school when he was young, and now he didn't need to take imperial examinations. What's the point of going to school? And he would be squeezed in with other kids. Isn't that embarrassing?
"Learning never stops. If children can learn, why can't adults learn too? Stone, think about it. If a five or six-year-old child knows how numbers can be displayed on a board, but you, the adult they admire, don't know, what would they think?"
"Military advisor." Shitou and Yao Qi saw that it was Lin Xinhuan and greeted and saluted.
After being enlightened by Lin Xinhuan, a blush appeared on Shi Tou's dark face. He felt extremely embarrassed when he thought of the children surrounding him and laughing: "Hahaha, uncle, you don't even know the answer to such a simple question."
"School? What school?"
When people nearby heard what was said, they all came over to ask about it. They had children at home, so it would definitely be a good thing for them to read more.
"Zhujiazhuang has opened a school, in the newly built house on the vacant land to the west. There are teachers. They don't teach the contents of the imperial examinations, but teach some literacy, arithmetic, and the principles of using new tools. It's free, and anyone who wants to learn can go."
Zhu Linlang began to explain.
"What's the point of studying if you can't pass the imperial examinations? Isn't the purpose of going to school to become an official?" When many people heard this, they gave up the idea of sending their children to school. Isn't it just a waste of time?
"Hmph, look at the situation now, what's the point of taking the imperial examination? If the court really cared about us, they would have come to rescue us long ago. Don't even think about taking the imperial examination until all the zombies outside are killed."
What he said made sense. His disdain for the imperial court caught Lin Xinhuan's attention. He? He seemed to be a grain guard? Lin Xinhuan was not sure. There were many more people in Zhujiazhuang, many of whom she had not seen before.
But what is certain is that he must be a member of the God-given Army.
"But... it's free, you can send your child to learn to read, and you don't have to worry about being cheated."
"When I was charging just now, I didn't recognize the numbers on the board at all. I didn't know how many contribution points were left after subtracting five. I can't do math without knowing how to read. It was only when others reminded me that I had deducted the correct points that I felt relieved."
"Brother, you can also go to the school to learn, so that you can check your contribution points yourself in the future."
