Chapter 251: Start the brainwashing mode for the whole village
At this time, regardless of whether the villagers outside the house saw the appearance of the top scholar clearly or not, they were all filled with respect after hearing Yu Zhilan's words quoting from classics, and their admiration was like a torrent of river, rushing towards them.
"Did you hear that? Master Zhuangyuan's words are so profound..."
"Of course. Do you think the number one scholar is like you, speaking like a rough man?"
"Zhang Tietou, you seem to speak in a very literary way..."
"Hahahaha... If Zhang Tietou spoke in a flowery way, his head wouldn't be called Tietou anymore..."
"That's right...haha..."
"Hahahaha... Even if my head is made of iron, it's still better than your wooden heads. Who knows, maybe my son will become the top scholar in the future?"
"Zhang Tietou, stop dreaming! Just your son's brain? Tsk! It's almost the same as not having my son..."
"Alright! Stop arguing! From now on, all the children in our village will be able to go to school. Who knows, the top two or three in the imperial examinations will all be from our village..."
"Yes, yes... I heard that from now on, the children in our village will not have to pay tuition to go to school..."
"Really? No need to pay the tuition?"
"There's such a good thing? Who said that?"
"Yes! Who said that?"
People immediately became excited.
Being able to send your children to school without having to pay tuition is simply a godsend!
"Of course it was Fu Ya who said that!" the man said proudly.
"What Fuya said? That must be true!"
"Yes, yes! It must be true..."
People were so happy that they almost jumped up.
Immediately, everyone started praising Xiao Tangbao.
"Our Fuya is the lucky star of our village!"
"Do I need you to tell me that? Our Fu Ya is a lucky star! The beef we had at noon was thanks to our Fu Ya, and now the children are able to study, and that is also thanks to Fu Ya's blessing..."
"In my opinion, our Fu Ya was sent by God to bring blessings to our Daliushu Village..."
"It's not just our Daliushu Village. I heard from Fu Ya that the children who come to our village to study only have to pay half a tael of silver as tuition every month, which is half the amount of the Li family private school in town..."
"Oh my god! Half less? No way! I have to tell my second cousin's daughter from my mother's side... Her son is studying in town. I want her to come to our village to study. Not only will it save money, but we also have the top scholar here..."
"Yes, yes! I'll go to my mother's house tomorrow and tell her. My second brother wants to send my eldest nephew to school, but the monthly tuition of one tael of silver is too much. He really can't afford it. Now, it's better. If the whole family tightens their belts, we can still save up half a tael of silver..."
"That's right, it's the same at my parents' home too, I'm going back there too..."
"I'm going back too..."
Thus, the praise meeting turned into a propaganda meeting.
Xiao Tangbao didn't even have to advertise everywhere, the people of Daliushu Village took action.
In fact, the monthly tuition of half a tael of silver, plus the cost of pens, ink, paper and inkstone, would require the entire family to support a scholar.
However, it did rekindle the hope of sending their children to school for many families who had been deterred by the tuition fees.
Village chief Wang Zhengyi learned the news later because he was working in the fields.
He rushed to the Su family and just heard people talking.
"They only charge a tuition of five cents of silver, and the children in our Daliushu Village don't charge money. So, if you calculate it this way, I'm afraid this academy will lose money, right?" The village chief said thoughtfully.
As soon as the village chief finished speaking, the villagers around him fell silent.
Yes, just to hire a top scholar or a juren, you may have to pay a lot of money.
The village chief saw the people and began to think about this problem.
Then he continued, "Well, no matter what, everyone must remember Fu Ya's kindness! Not to mention that the children in our village can go to school without spending any money, just based on this, it will be much easier for the boys in our village to find wives in the future..."
The village chief hit the nail on the head.
Once this academy is built, not only will the children benefit from their studies, but with this benefit, some families who love their daughters will definitely be willing to marry their daughters to Daliushu Village.
After all, when my daughter has children in the future, she won’t have to spend money to send them to school.
"The village chief is right! After the academy is built, the young men in our village will no longer have to worry about not being able to find a wife!"
"Yes, yes, we all must remember Fuya's kindness..."
"Whoever dares to bully Fuya from now on will become an enemy of our entire village..."
“That’s right…”
For a moment, the people of Daliushu Village started the Su family family meeting mode.
At the same time, the brainwashing mode of the entire village was started.
Little Tangbao didn't know yet that her sudden idea of establishing a school had greatly improved her image among the villagers.
The village chief, Wang Zhengyi, brainwashed the villagers according to the Su family's policies and guidelines, and then went into the house to pay a visit to the top scholar.
"Brother Su, is this the number one scholar?"
The village chief Wang Zhengyi walked into the house and took a look, his eyes fixed directly on the older Mr. Liu.
When Mr. Liu saw the village chief looking at him, he quickly looked at Yu Zhilan and said, "This is my teacher, the top scholar in the fifth year of Tianxi."
The village chief looked embarrassed and bowed to Yu Zhilan.
"I am Wang Zhengyi, the village chief of Daliushu Village. Nice to meet you, Mr. Zhuangyuan."
"There's no need to be so polite, Village Chief Wang." Yu Zhilan nodded slightly.
The village chief stood up straight, rubbed his hands excitedly, and then worshipped Yu Zhilan with his eyes.
If we say that ordinary people are naturally afraid of officials.
So I have a natural admiration for scholars.
Little Tangbao blinked his eyes and said with a smile: "Uncle Zhuangyuan, the people in our village admire you very much. Why don't you go outside and say a few words to them?"
By the way, satisfy the people's desire to worship you up close.
As soon as Xiao Tangbao finished speaking, the village chief's eyes suddenly lit up.
The villagers outside who were listening intently also had their eyes light up.
If they could listen to the top scholar speak, it would be worth it for them to show off for half their lives.
Yu Zhilan smiled slightly and said, "Little girl, how about you first introduce me to someone who can teach you how to read and write?"
Little Sugar Baby, "..."
Why is this top scholar uncle so obsessed with this matter?
Or maybe he already knew something and wanted to take this opportunity to meet the little brother?
"Uncle Zhuangyuan, I just know a few words and have heard a few anecdotes." Little Tangbao said seriously: "The one who taught me these was a little brother who was a few years older than me. He was just teaching me casually when we were playing together. Don't take it seriously."
When Yu Zhilan heard this, she looked as if she had realized something.
He said somewhat exaggeratedly: "I see."
Little Sugar Baby, "..."
I feel more and more that there is something wrong with this top scholar uncle.
Could it be that he knows the little brother?
