After sending everyone away, Wang Pu made a pot of good tea, and Meimei took a sip, satisfied. Liang Dupeng came in from the kitchen and said, "It's so comfortable today!" Want to come to the wool business and sell at the right price? ”

Wang Pu shook his head: "Speaking of which, the price is good, but the business is good, so I can't say it." I'll tell you the truth, the wool business is a lot worse than this one. Two seasons a year, I calculated that it was only a fraction of the money that this shop earned, which was nothing. ”

Liang Du Pengqi said: "That is the case, how can you look so happy outside?" ”

Wang Pudao: "Although the business is not satisfactory, it has gone to my heart. A few days ago, I always thought that the business here is not as prosperous as last year, and it is not interesting for this shop to be open. If the family's business is good, I will stay less here and help more at home. When this year's wool is sold, I know how to make money in the countryside compared to doing business in the city? It's better to stay here honestly and make more money. ”

Liang Dupeng sat down and said, "Yes, it's not easy to make money in the countryside!" It is said that it is easy to make money in the countryside, but it is nothing more than compared with working in the city, and it is absolutely incomparable with the boss. And this shop, the key is that there is income every day, and it is living money! ”

Wang Pu nodded again and again: "It is this reason, the shop earns living money, and there is an income every day." Director, in the future, you can work in my shop with peace of mind, and the salary will definitely not be negative to you. The little livelihood of the family will be handed over to the family. ”

Liang Dupeng nodded. His parents are still young, and the work of the family has been done, and it is also appropriate for him to earn more money outside. The wife lives in Shengzhou City, and the husband and wife rent a small courtyard, and they live a good life.

After drinking tea, Wang Pu said: "Have you heard that the government here is going to set up a school?" ”

Liang Dupeng said: "I've heard people talk about it. It's not unusual, when I was in Suizhou before, I ran a school in the field affairs. They are all children under the age of ten in the township, gather together, and ask two gentlemen to teach them. Teaching a literacy course is a very simple text, and it is not a big deal to learn it. It is not difficult to calculate another book, learn to calculate accounts. When I was in Suizhou, I taught for three years, and I didn't care about the rest, and I didn't know how many years I taught here. ”

Wang Pu said: "I think it's the same as following the state, it's nothing more than teaching for three years." This is an opportunity, and I don't know how much money I saved compared to my private school. I thought about it, even though the eldest of the two children in the family was eleven years old, I still let them go to school to learn. ”

Liang Dupeng said: "It seems to be at home outside the staff, but it should be." Learning to read, learn to read and count, and have more knowledge will be beneficial in the future. ”

Wang Pu nodded again and again: "That's the truth." I didn't go to school since I was a child, and then I became a leader, so I learned to read and write from others, and I could read more or less two books. My own children have always wanted to find a gentleman to teach, where can I find them? Former Ren Ze was in my clan and taught for a few days, but the two children were too young at the time and didn't learn much. If I teach in school for three years, I can know some words, and I can buy a few books to read every day, I think it will be much better. ”

There are a lot of villain books sold in the shopping mall opposite, Wang Pu bought a few copies by himself, and often read them in his spare time. The meaning of the words in those books is simple, not the four and six, etc., and you can read them after learning them in school. When you are older, help yourself to do things, and you will not be able to pull down the ability to read and write.

As the days slowly settle down, the education of future generations is a big deal. With the stability of business here, Wang Pu originally wanted to bring his son over and find another gentleman. There are many literate people in Shengzhou, most of them like Liang Dupeng, who were taught by the former Yingtianxiang army. This kind of person, it is obviously inappropriate to ask him to go home to a private school. Since you are studying in a private school, of course, you have to read all kinds of classics and be admitted to the Jinshi in the future. But the government runs a school, and it doesn't pay much to go inside, that's another matter.

For Wang Pu, he didn't dare to expect his son to be a jinshi, and he wouldn't even have an idea of that kind of thing now. As long as you can be literate and keep the industry you have created, it is excellent.

Listening to Liang Dupeng talk about the opening of a school in Suizhou, the more Wang Pu listened, the more moved he became. It turns out that there are other schools there, and the eldest son can go to the exam later, and many of them have a lifetime of jobs. Where there's a meandering road, everything is a new beginning, and who knows what it's going to look like.

Liang Dupeng drank tea and said, "My Hun family is also pregnant, thinking that when the child is older, he will enter school." At the age of less than ten years, you can't do any work, what can you do when you're idle? After entering school, I studied for three years, and I could read a few words, and I could use it for a lifetime. ”

Wang Pu nodded again and again: "What the director said is good. Just like me, if I didn't recognize the words when I was the leader, or if I had the opportunity, where would I be able to open this shop? If you can't read or write when you open a store, there are many inconveniences when you buy things, let alone in normal times. ”

Liang Dupeng said: "Yes, people are illiterate in the world, and there are many inconveniences. It's better in the countryside, especially in the city, and I can't even read a list, how to deal with this? It's not a jinshi, it's useless to know a lot of words, and it's even worse if you don't know a big word. ”

Wang Pu agrees. In this era, there are still very few books on the market, and a person who is literate does not have many books to read. However, if you don't know a word, you can't even write a deed, so it's even more troublesome.

At this time, the bookstore was important and semi-official, which had something to do with the low literacy rate. Most of the people are illiterate, and the government always asks for documentary evidence, so don't you need a bookstore? Without official recognition and without the trust of the people, this kind of business is also difficult to do.

Du Zhongxiao's mansion, Chen Xiliang took the official document and said to Du Zhongxiao: "Jieshuai, there are so many schools, where is there a teacher teacher?" ”

Du Zhongxiao said: "Last year, when the army was discharged, many people did not return to their hometowns and settled down on Hequ Road. Most of those who have been discharged from the army can be teachers. It's just an ordinary village school, teaching people to read and write, it's all very simple, and it's not very labor-intensive. ”

Chen Xiliang hesitated: "The literacy class run by myself in the army is extremely simple, and the people who learn it here can be gentlemen?" ”

Du Zhongxiao said: "What is the great thing to teach some rural children? As long as the measures are appropriate, as long as they can read and write, they can be taught. The most important thing is that the government should organize examinations and pay salaries in a timely manner. ”

Chen Xiliang said: "Teaching such content, the exam is not difficult to organize. However, once the exam is taken, there must be people who study well and people who do not study well. How do I do well in the exam? What if you don't do well in the test? Only with rewards and punishments can this matter be done well. ”

Du Zhongxiao thought for a while and said, "I didn't think deeply about this matter. Originally, I wanted to do a good deed for the people, so that they could have a place to learn since childhood. If you learn well, what you will do in the future, but you haven't thought about it in detail. Otherwise, how about using government officials and wool factory workers to let those who pass the exam study for a few more years? ”

Chen Xiliang shook his head: "There are many difficulties in doing this. The wool factory produces its own production, and it should be their business to recruit people, and it is easy for the government to intervene and make the managers at a loss. The officials of the yamen originally wanted to be innocent and have a local industry, but this is not a big deal. It's just that people who are good in the exam, it's hard to say whether they are suitable or not. ”

Du Zhongxiao said: "Then let them choose freely." Those who do well in the examination can enter the yamen and build another school. As for some good words, they can enter the state to study and take the imperial examination in the future. The wool factory can let them take the test to select people, and it doesn't matter how they choose the government. ”
