His high school education alone would bring many benefits to the village, not to mention that he could collect grain from the village every year at a much higher price than they would sell it to grain merchants. Even if he didn't do these things, the villagers would still be grateful to him. He didn't expect that Wang Yu could do even more for the village. He knew that once the younger generation in the village could learn to read and write, Yuxi Village would only get better and better.
The village chief's hands trembled as he thought of this, holding the teacup. "Then should we hire a teacher for the elementary school?"
Wang Yu: "Let's first see how many children in the village are going to school. Uncle Zhou is also a student, so he can teach the children the basics. If there are more children, then the village chief can hire another one, and the monthly salary for the hire will be paid from the land of the primary school."
"well."
"Uncle Zhou, take this money. Since you want to open a primary school, then do it well. Build a new primary school in the village so that the children can have a better study environment." As he said this, he handed the village chief two hundred taels of silver notes, which included money for buying school land.
The village chief took the banknote with trembling hands, not knowing what to say. He said, "How can I let you pay this money again?"
"Uncle Zhou, please don't refuse. You know I want to be an official. Yuxi Village is my roots. It would be good for me if the village could continue to produce scholars. Yuxi Village and I will prosper and suffer together."
Seeing him say this, the village chief did not refuse anymore. He just said that he would definitely build the elementary school and arrange for someone to take care of the school land. He then asked him if he wanted to give the elementary school a name.
Wang Yu was not very good at naming, so after thinking for a while he said let's call it Yuxi Academy. The village chief thought it was a good idea and asked Wang Yu to write an inscription for the school. He would ask someone to carve it and hang it on the door of the academy.
"Okay, Uncle Zhou, I'm going to the capital soon to report on my work. I'll have to trouble you to take care of the village's elementary school and the farmland."
The village chief replied firmly: "Don't worry, I will definitely see to it."
After talking with the village chief, Wang Yu went home and told his family about this matter. His father and mother also supported him. They said that Wang Yu had his reasons for doing so. Moreover, since they settled in Yuxi Village, they were the people of Yuxi Village. Moreover, the village chief and the villagers were very nice to them as outsiders, and helped them a lot when they were in trouble at the beginning.
