With the help of Mujin, Haokelai reopened and transferred some shopkeepers and waiters to help.
Although Lu Yong has changed his appearance, he may not be discovered by those who are interested.
To avoid complications, I did not go to Haokelai
Mu Jin also reached an agreement with Lu Yong that Lu Zhishu would be the host of Haokelai and Mu Jin would take care of it until Lu Zhishu was able to take charge on his own.
During this period, the profit of Haokelai was divided into 30% and 70% respectively, with Mujin making 30% and Lu Zhishu making 70%.
Lu Yong originally wanted to split the money with Mu Jin, but Mu Jin refused.
"50-50 or 30-70, it doesn't matter to me. The reason I took the money is to let you know that you don't owe me anything. I'm just taking the money to do the job."
"So you don't have to feel inferior, just do what you normally do."
"Madam, you are very thoughtful, but I have a request."
"Shopkeeper Lu, please feel free to speak."
"Zhishu is still young and has been studying in a private school before, but after this incident, his studies have naturally fallen behind.
Although he is not required to pass the imperial examination, he must not be illiterate or have no vision.
I don't dare send him to the school in the capital, can you think of a way?"
Lu Yong said in embarrassment
Mu Jin also realized this problem after hearing this. They were far away from the capital.
The surrounding area is full of newly built villages by refugees, and there is no decent school.
There are many children of school age in the village, and it is not a big deal for them to run around the streets all day long.
"There is a scholar in the village. We can send him there to study for a while.
I need to discuss the matter of building a school in the village with the village chief to see what the villagers think.
If most people want to study, then let the village pay for it and build one. If they don’t, we can re-plan it.”
Mu Jin did what she said and immediately went to find the village chief
"School"
Liu Qing fell into deep thought after hearing this.
“Yes, the village built its own school, and the income from the inn was originally said to be used for village construction.
I calculated that it wouldn’t cost much to build an ordinary school.”
"How should I invite the Master?"
"I have seen Mr. Zhang's talent, it is very good, and it is more than enough to enlighten the children.
If the child is good at studying and the family has the means, it would be the same if we send him to a school in the capital."
"Then how should we pay for this teacher's expenses?"
"I've thought about this. Who sends their children to school and pays tuition to the school separately?
After the school collected the money, part of it was used to pay the teachers monthly wages, and part of it was reserved for the construction of the school.
The school itself is a move that benefits the people, so don’t think about making money from it.”
After listening to this, Liu Qing stroked his beard and thought this was a good idea. He immediately arranged for someone to call a meeting of the villagers.
Soon, all the villagers arrived.
Liu Qing informed everyone about the school
"Village Chief, building a school must cost a lot of money, I don't have much."
He subconsciously covered his wallet.
The other villagers also touched their waists unconsciously.
Liu Qing looked at this scene and sighed
"At that time, a portion of the inn's income was reserved for village construction, so you don't have to pay for the school privately."
"That's great, when will we start building it?"
The villagers were immediately excited when they heard that they didn’t have to pay for it themselves.
"But you all have to pay for sending your children to school."
"Why then? The school built in the village still charges our children tuition?"
When the villagers heard that they had to pay, some of them were unhappy.
"No money for hiring teachers? No money for school maintenance? No money for books? All will be fine once the school is built?
OK, as you said, I will let my children go to school for free. When you ask for the money, I will arrange people to collect it door to door.
Even if a brick falls from the school, I will have to spread it among you one by one to collect it one by one."
