Chapter 55 Chapter 55 Let her know
Lin Si knew that a considerable number of people were confused about sending their children to school.
Whether they are little girls or little boys, at the age of six or seven they can be considered half-labor force. They can take care of their younger siblings, do laundry, cooking, and clean the house.
When they grow up a little, around the age of ten, they can chop wood and farm. Little girls can learn to sew and mend, and can also earn some extra money, making them fully capable of working.
Nowadays, children spend half of their day in school, leaving no one to take care of many household chores.
In order to take into account the specific conditions of Li County, Lin Si only arranges two classes a day, one Chinese class and one math class in the first half of the day. After school, the children can go home and continue with their complicated housework.
The illiteracy rate in Dachen is ridiculously high now, and Lin Si doesn't plan to teach anything too complicated.
Lin Si also sent people to publicize the idea that after two years of study, students would take the entrance examination. Those whose scores did not meet the admission requirement but reached the technical school score line would be diverted to the technical school, where they would be selected as blacksmiths or carpenters. In the future, a workshop would be opened, and students would directly work in the workshop as workers.
As for those who successfully continue their studies, they will have more choices after graduating in another year and a half. They can work as a clerk in the county government, apply for a medical school and continue studying medicine, or pass an exam and stay in the school as a teacher. If a workshop recruits managers, they can also sign up.
It sounds like the options after passing the entrance examination are very tempting. When many parents think about this, the dissatisfaction in their hearts disappears.
Some parents also asked, what about the children who neither meet the admission score nor the technical school score?
Someone in the crowd said, "Just go home and do what you need to do. You spent a few dozen coins to study for two years and learned to read, and you're still not satisfied."
Lin Si's original plan was to do two things this year. The first was the opening of the school, with Zuo You as the principal and Ting Yu as the teacher.
Fortunately, there are not many children of the right age, so they can be divided into two classes. Two people can teach them. It’s just that Zuo You has to work harder as he has to run between the two classes.
But it doesn't matter, Zuo You is a very hardworking and diligent person, she will be able to balance it out.
As for the other thing, it was the clinic that Lin Si had always planned to open.
There is a medical clinic in Li County. This is the only medical clinic in Li County and has been passed down from generation to generation.
As for this generation, the owner of the clinic had no interest in studying medicine. He only learned the basics from his father, and the clinic was open for three days and closed for two days.
After he was selected as a member of the tribe, the clinic was closed even more.
It is no exaggeration to say that Lin Si was the happiest person in the whole Li County when he was about to open a clinic. He could finally get rid of the smell of medicine that he had to smell every day. He didn't know why, but since he was a child, he felt dizzy and wanted to vomit whenever he smelled these Chinese medicines. But his father didn't believe it. The more he wanted to vomit, the more he made him smell and see them, and he forced him to learn all those medicines.
This also made him hate studying medicine and treating patients even more. He even offered to share his clinic with others, and all that was needed was a change of sign.
But Lin Si didn't like to take advantage of the people, so he paid money to buy the shop.
As for the name, Lin Si thought about it and decided to go for something abstract, so he asked Liang Nian to write the six big words "Li County People's Hospital".
I originally wanted to add a first one, but then the plaque would be too long and wouldn’t fit easily.
Zhu Shixi was not good at naming, but the six words "Li County People's Hospital" inexplicably gave her a sense of strength.
It is an indescribable power.
Zhu Shixi likes this name.
When she watched her family die in exile and imprisonment, she thought she would never have the chance to realize her dream of saving the world.
The past two years have been like a dream.
The shop was bought, but Lin Si still wanted to change the layout and decorate it according to Zhu Shixi and Tang Xing's ideas.
Zhu Shixi discussed with Lin Si, and Lin Si told her the common pattern and process of going to the hospital before she traveled through the book.
Register, see the outpatient department, and get medicine.
The medical clinic is actually very large and more areas can be planned.
Tang Xing has been studying with Zhu Shixi for such a long time, and since he is a talented person himself, he can now treat patients independently.
On the day the clinic opened, Mo Jing, Mo Yu, and Ye Xialan quietly watched in the corner.
Seeing Tang Xing, dressed in white cotton clothes, skillfully taking people's pulses and prescribing medicine, the three of them couldn't help but shed tears.
"Ah Xing has grown up."
Mo Jinglian was the most deeply touched. She saw Tang Xing die in front of her grave in her dream. Now seeing him like this, she felt complicated and moved.
Her only thought was that she was glad to have come to Li County and to have sought refuge with the county lord.

After school started, children carrying small backpacks across their shoulders could be seen everywhere on the streets of Li County.
This kind of schoolbag was originally designed and sewn by Shi Jin for Shi Tou. It is worn diagonally and can hold a lot of things. Shi Jin embroidered some simple patterns on it, which makes it look very nice when carried.
Shitou was very satisfied and showed off to his classmates on the first day he carried it on his back.
Then, almost all the children in Li County carried such schoolbags.
Some were made by my mother. People like Gong Jingxiu who don’t know how to sew would provide the cloth and pay someone to make them. Some were made by her mother herself, like Lan Niang.
Lin Si occasionally goes out and sees the little kids carrying their schoolbags to school, which is a beautiful sight.
Lin Si sat in the ox cart without showing his face, but everyone in Li County knew that this was the county lord's carriage, and they all saluted.
Lin Si went out this time for no other reason than to see the training results of the troops.
Nan Shuang and Nan Qiao were temporarily assigned by Lin Si to teach the troops, while Feng Ling was temporarily only teaching Wu Gengtian.
Compared with brute force, Wugengtian requires more skills, and Feng Ling is more suitable.
Lin Si had been in Li County for three years, and his eldest child was about to turn eleven.
In the eyes of modern people, an eleven-year-old child is a primary school student, a complete child, but in ancient times, an eleven-year-old was not considered young and could do many things.
Zhong Diyan and Guo Han accompanied Lin Si this time.
Now the Wu Geng Tian have started to take turns to be Lin Si's bodyguard. Perhaps it is because the name Wu Geng Tian inspires the children's second-year soul. When they are guarding Lin Si at such a young age, they have a stern face and pretend to be serious.
It feels a bit like a child wearing adult clothes.
Lin Si lifted the curtain and looked at the streets of Li County for a while, then stretched out his hand skillfully.
Guo Han immediately understood what he meant and handed the tea to Lin Si, and Zhong Diyan also picked up the snack plate.
Lin Si is now a completely different person. She is no longer the person who only had a small broken ox cart. Her ox cart is newly built and very large. There is a table inside that can not only hold tea, but also snacks and fruits.
Lin Si said while drinking tea and eating snacks, "Why are you guys so serious? I'm just watching the troops' training. It's not anything particularly serious."
Guo Han replied, "Ever since the county lady renamed the manor Wugengtian, everyone has felt an inexplicable sense of responsibility and can no longer act like children."
Zhong Diyan nodded, agreeing with Guo Han's statement.
What's more, he was the one who chose the name Wugengtian, so he couldn't show his childish side. He was almost eleven years old and was no longer a child.
Lin Si listened to the two people's pretentious and mature answers, and frowned, "You are clearly still at a childish age, so there is no need to pretend to be so mature. You can relax more with me."
Their expressions relaxed.
Lin Si continued chatting casually, "After a while, I will carefully select and buy some orphans back. By then, you can also become my senior brothers and sisters."
Guo Han was overjoyed. "I'm going to be a senior sister too. Just wait and see how I educate those kids."
After chatting with Guo Han, the ox cart soon arrived at its destination.
Lin Si specially enclosed an open space for these troops to train, including modern tactical basic training, obstacle running, self-rescue and mutual rescue, 3000-meter run, all these hardcore training.
These retainers would be the soldiers of Li County in the future. Lin Si did not want to cultivate in them the habits of burning, killing, looting and hooliganism that ancient soldiers had after attacking the city, so he had been instilling in them that being a retainer was a very honorable thing, and they were there to protect Li County, their homes and their families.
The three major disciplines and eight points of attention are also repeated every day as brainwashing.
The soldiers knew that Lin Si was coming today, and they all tried their best to perform better. After all, the county lord said today that whoever performed well would be rewarded, and that was a very generous sum of money.
While Lin Si was not there yet, Gan Lang poked Xu Chuo and sighed, "How is Ah Yan doing with his simplified numbers? My brother is as dumb as a pig. Before, those little teachers taught him addition and subtraction, which were so simple, but he just couldn't learn it. I was so angry tutoring him that I almost fumed. Yesterday, I was so angry that my heart hurt. I even went to the People's Hospital. Doctor Tang examined me and told me not to be angry, but why am I not angry?" He became more and more agitated as he spoke.
Xu Chuo felt a little gloating in his heart. His daughter Yan was pretty, and those young men were always courting her, especially Gan An!
Don't think that he, as your brother, can't see it.
Xu Chuo pretended to comfort her, but in reality he was showing off. "I've never worried about Ah Yan's studies. I'm open-minded. If she can get into it, then she can study. If she can't, then she can just be an honest servant and take care of the cotton. That's fine too. But I peeked at her quiz last time and saw that she got a perfect score. She even got the extra questions right."
It would have been fine if Gan Lang hadn't heard it, but once he did, he felt even more worried. "I really envy your sister for being so smart. How come I have such a stupid brother? He won't even be able to get into technical school at this rate."
Yin Sheng listened silently and offered words of comfort, "The school has only been open for less than half a year. It's too early for you to be so anxious about the entrance exam. Give An some time."
Gan Lang had a bitter face. "It's not that I'm anxious. Two years have passed very quickly. He's so stupid. Every time I went to pick him up from school, I felt so sorry for the two teachers and the county lady."
Xu Chuo added fuel to the fire, "Aan might not be cut out for studying. If he really can't pass the exam, it would be good for him to just go home and farm."
After talking about the school, they started talking about today's training.
Xu Chuo said to Yin Sheng, "Captain, since we won first place, can you treat us to a meal?"
Gan Lang nodded like a chick pecking at rice, "That's right, just consider it as a way to comfort me."
Yin Sheng lowered his eyes. In fact, what he wanted more was not the bonus, but the fact that he won first place today. Would she hear his name from the county lady's mouth? Would she be glad that the person he saved casually has become so powerful now?
