When Qiao Xin sent someone to invite them, everyone secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and the atmosphere was finally eased with the help of the steps!
Seeing that the people who came to pick them up were actually the guards of the Qiao family, everyone couldn't help but feel nervous again.
Shunzi explained with a smile: "Everyone, don't be nervous. There are many outsiders in Anhua County recently, and it's a mixed bag. It's not very peaceful. My master is also concerned about everyone's safety."
He Jinzhuo bowed and said politely, "Manager Qiao, you are too polite. I just don't know what the old lady wants to talk to you about?"
Shunzi said respectfully, "Mr. He, don't worry. It's not a bad thing. Prince Xu donated money to build a school for Anhua County. The old lady asked everyone to go and take a look and give some advice!"
"What? Xu Can really paid to build a county school?"
Everyone was shocked!
The last time Xu Can came to see them, he mentioned this matter casually. They thought he was joking, but they didn't expect it to be true. Could it be that Master Xu was busy with this matter these two days and had no time to visit them?
"How can this be fake? It's all cleared up by Magistrate Wu. The land deed has already been obtained. Prince Xu even purchased the materials himself, fearing that his servants would cheat and forge things. He takes this matter very seriously! After all, after it is completed, this will be the largest branch of Qingyang Academy!"
Shunzi's words confirmed everyone's guess, and everyone was excited for a while!
At this time, someone noticed that the carriage had actually left the city. He couldn't help but ask, "Aren't you going to the county school? Why is the carriage going outside the city?"
"The new county school is not located in the old city, but ten miles outside the city."
"What on earth is going on?"
If the county school is not in the county town, is it still a county school? How can safety be guaranteed? Everyone was curious and couldn't sit still. They stretched their necks and came closer!
There was nothing to do on the way, so Shunzi told everyone about the troubles the Qiao family encountered when they came to Anhua County, and he told everyone what he could say.
Everyone then realized that the Qiao family's experience during this period was even more difficult than theirs!
Someone angrily beat his legs with both hands and said: "These noble families are simply too much. They conceal the household registration, occupy the land, and ignore the imperial court's orders. They are simply too arrogant!"
Some people were used to it and started to mock, "They have always been like this, it's not just one or two days! Otherwise, why can't they even tolerate students like us who have no achievements? Don't they just take it for granted that everything that is not under their control should not exist!
I just don’t know, since the county school is built over there, will the government office also have to be moved there?”
"My Lord, that's a good idea. I don't have this plan. When the time comes, we can build houses, shops, and city walls. It will be a new city!"
Everyone was excited to hear this and asked, "Are you serious? Is there anything we can do to help?"
Shunzi glanced at him, shook his head and said, "If you are not students of the Agricultural College, you really can't help with this matter. After you have visited the county school, don't stay here any longer!"
Someone asked, "What does the old lady need from the Agricultural College for? Why did she send us back?"
"I don't know. Those of you who are going back to take the exam, please prepare yourself in the next two days and leave with the guards. You will have someone to take care of you on the way! When you have achieved success in the future, it won't be too late to benefit the people!"
He Jinzhuo and the others who were going to take the imperial examination smiled and said, "Then we will accept the good words of the great steward!"
The people who had been clamoring to go back hesitated. Anyway, the students of the Agricultural College and the Medical College were not in a hurry to take the exams, but needed more practical opportunities!
The Qiao family has made such a big fuss, what they want must be something serious. To develop such a large tea mountain, a large number of people will definitely be needed, and if they just leave like this, won’t they lose some opportunities?
Thinking of his fellow brothers who were doing well in Changnan Town, the students who felt they had no hope of passing the imperial examinations suddenly didn't want to leave!
Qiao Xin was not surprised at all after hearing Shunzi's report.
People are like this, the more you prevent them from doing certain things, the more curious they become. Once you show it openly, they will lose their desire to explore!
"Take those who are willing to stay from the Agricultural College to settle down in the experimental fields of Qingfeng Village. Ask for the opinions of the others, and send those who are unwilling to leave to Xu Can for help. Keep them safe!"
"I've asked everyone. There are only two students from the Agricultural College who came with you. There are three or four more who need to take exams. The rest are students from the Martial Arts College and they are not in a hurry to leave!"
Qiao Xin smiled inexplicably: "You're not leaving, right? Fine, let's all go to the mountain to keep Guanjianze company, climb trees and chop branches!"
Shunzi:.......
Early the next morning, a group of students from the martial arts academy, with bamboo baskets on their backs, followed Guanjianze into the deep mountains and forests, looking confused.
When they arrived under an ancient tree that was more than ten meters high, Guan Guanze tucked his clothes around his waist, hugged the trunk with both hands, climbed up with his feet skillfully, and jumped out!
When everyone looked up, they saw him slithering down. His skills were even more agile than that of the monkey!
Someone jokingly said, "Okay, Brother Guan, you brought us here, not just to let everyone see you climb a tree, right?"
Guanjianze smiled and said, "You really want to see me climbing the tree. Not only do I have to climb the tree, but you have to climb the tree too. Otherwise, where will we get the tea branches?"
Everyone was dumbfounded, they really came here to be monkeys, this......
"Don't complain. Anyone who lives here and is good at doing things has to climb trees and get branches. The old lady worked all day yesterday. The experimental fields below are waiting for branches and leaves."
