The Tan family and the Gu family came to the village together this time, intending to settle down.
The Tan family has been loyal and virtuous for generations, and the Gu family would rather die on the battlefield than let the people be safe. So Lin Jinyue decided to hold a bonfire party to welcome them to Yunhe Village.
Their village is becoming increasingly wealthy, with quite a few pigs, cattle, and sheep.
Upon hearing that a bonfire party was going to be held, Lin Jinyue slaughtered some of the cattle and sheep that belonged to the village, and also slaughtered some from the farm. Those families in the village who were well-off also began to slaughter cattle and sheep.
Even those with less favorable conditions would slaughter a rabbit and a chicken.
The atmosphere has reached this point.
It would seem a bit unreasonable not to show loyalty and, incidentally, incite Lin Jinyue to rebel.
They were just a little worried that this would offend people.
The Gu and Tan families began exchanging glances, each hoping the other would bring up the matter first and gauge their attitude.
Illuminated by the campfire, Lin Jinyue didn't notice the expressions on the faces of these people.
Noticing that Gu Shao wasn't there, she specially asked her father to cook seafood porridge and have someone deliver it to him later.
Lin Jinyue then looked at the Tan and Gu families, who had been exiled.
They arrived in a hurry and didn't have much money on them, but each of them would be considered a highly skilled individual in modern times.
Lin Jinyue then had the idea of introducing them to jobs.
Lin Jinyue first approached the women of the Gu and Tan families, and began to persuade them: "Sister, aunt, have you thought about what you'll do after you come to Lingnan? I have an idea. I wonder if you would be willing to be teachers, teaching the people in our village flower arranging, embroidery, painting..."
Lin Jinyue explained the teacher's job to them in detail.
Besides being teachers, they can also collaborate with workshops. Those who can draw can create design drawings, and those who can embroider can take on embroidery orders with their apprentices.
They could earn quite a bit of money.
Besides, there's a teaching salary and the benefits offered by Lin Jinyue.
Many ladies were tempted.
At this moment, the men from the Tan and Gu families also arrived, some of them curious about what the two were talking about.
Lin Jinyue bypassed the Gu family and introduced teaching jobs to the Tan family.
Just kidding, she was planning to have the Gu family rebel, no, to protect the people of Lingnan. How could she possibly let them work on her territory?
The result was that the Gu family and the Tan family stared at each other blankly.
Tan family: Oh no, we were supposed to be assisting a wise ruler in his rebellion, but instead we're being asked to teach little kids?
The Gu family: How come we, the Gu family, don't even have jobs?
Lin Jinyue scratched her head, sensing that something was wrong. Could it be that the Gu family was temporarily too embarrassed to speak up?
Lin Jinyue, acting like a little adult, said to Grandpa Gu, "Don't worry, I will raise funds for you in the village. You don't need to worry about the money for the uprising. Yunhe Village will always be your support."
Grandpa Gu: ? ? ?
Something about Lin Jinyue's tone seemed off...
Lin Jinyue's mind was already wandering far away, imagining the future when the young ladies from prominent families in the capital would come to teach her.
She thought about it and finally decided to draw the pancake a little bigger.
What if they don't like it?
Lin Jinyue also secretly took some good things from the farm and gave them to them.
The ladies who were already interested, upon seeing the generous gifts and monthly benefits offered by Lin Jinyue, didn't even bother to ask their husbands or fathers before agreeing immediately.
The villagers were incredibly excited.
Lin Fugui's wife and Li the blacksmith's wife got together, their eyes gleaming.
"I never dreamed that one day, my sons, Gou Dan and Shi Tou, would be taught by someone who had served as a minister, a grand tutor, and a prime minister."
“Sister-in-law, your son Gou Dan can now sit on equal footing with people who have served as ministers, grand tutors, and prime ministers. They are all teachers at our Yunhe Academy.”
Lin Fugui's wife pinched Lin Fugui's thigh hard.
Lin Fugui, who was grilling, cried out in pain: "Wife, what are you doing? It hurts! I haven't done anything to upset you these past few days."
Lin Fugui's wife then said in a daze, "So I wasn't dreaming."
Li the blacksmith's wife, Liu, laughed: "You're definitely not dreaming, this is no dream at all."
At this moment, Qian Guihua, who had just come from Lin Jinyue's side, joined them: "Hey, you guys don't know, Er Ya was just trying to persuade those ladies, saying that they could open training classes, and that we could pay money to learn what those rich ladies learn!"
Lin Fugui, not caring that the meat skewers in his hands were about to burn, said, "Wife, shall I get you one?"
His wife is still in a daze.
How could someone who toils in the fields learn all this?
No, she used to be a farmer, but now she can live a good life by following Lin Jinyue. What can't she learn?
It has to be said that, apart from Lin Fugui's wife, many other people felt like they were dreaming.
They drank some fruit wine and were in high spirits, so they all crowded around Lin Jinyue to ask her questions:
"We can learn music, chess, calligraphy, and painting? Oh my, I'd be happy to pay any price! When I was little, I went to the city with my mother, and I was so envious of people reciting poetry, painting, and doing embroidery!"
"My daughter loves embroidery, but unfortunately my hands are too rough from working. I can't learn it."
Lin Jinyue told them about the approximate class hours and price, assuring them that there was nothing they couldn't learn if they wanted to.
This price isn't cheap; it costs 100 coins for an hour.
However, this still couldn't dampen the enthusiasm of these women.
The ladies were slightly surprised.
They weren't ignorant of human suffering. Not to mention these villages, even many ordinary families in the capital didn't treat their daughters this well.
There's also a 100-coin hour fee for lessons, and it's not even one-on-one teaching. Even so, the women in the village are so enthusiastic. Are farmers this rich now?
Putting money aside, they have to discuss with their husbands before they can teach.
These women actually have the ability to make their own decisions?
For a moment, many ladies were envious.
The young ladies envied the village children even more, who didn't have to learn manners and were pampered by their parents.
Many people thought how wonderful it would be to live in Yunhe Village permanently.
They stayed up very late that night.
Everyone had a great time.
However, the guards did not relax for a moment.
Lin Jinyue and the others had just fallen asleep less than an hour ago when the guards on duty spotted a ship approaching from a distance.
The guard team immediately assembled.
As the captains of the guard team, Liu Dazhuang and Liu Erzhuang immediately activated the highest level of alert.
One group of men reached the catapult on the mountain, while Liu Dazhuang's other group went over in a boat loaded with cannonballs.
Liu Erzhuang also instructed, "Brother, don't kill him. Er Ya might need him."
Liu Dazhuang: "That's for sure. We'll capture them all alive. Not a single one will escape."
Just then, Er Ya was worried that with the increasing number of people, there was no way to build enough houses.
