Chapter 137 What Education?

After seeing everyone off, Wang Pu made a pot of good tea, took a sip of Meimei, and was satisfied. Liang Dupeng came in from the kitchen and said, "I feel so comfortable today! I think the wool business is good and the price is appropriate?"

Wang Pu shook his head: "To be honest, the price is good, but if the business is good, it won't be said. I'm going to hide it from you. The wool business is much worse than this shop. After two seasons a year, I calculated that it was only a fraction of the money that this shop earned, and it was nothing."

Liang Du Peng Qi said: "Since that's the case, how do you think the official is particularly happy?"

Wang Pudao: "Although the business is unsatisfactory, I have gone to my mind. A few days ago, I always thought that the business here is not as prosperous as last year. Is it interesting to open this shop? If the business at home is good, I will stay less here and help more at home. When the wool is sold this year, I will know how to compare the money in the countryside with the business in the city? It is 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's just that it's easy to make money in the countryside. It's just that it's compared to the workplace in the city, and it's absolutely impossible to compare with the boss. And the key to this shop is to make money every day, so how can it be used to make money!"

Wang Pu nodded repeatedly: "It is precisely this principle that the shop makes money and earns money every day. Supervisor, if you work in my store in the future, your wages will definitely not be borne by you. Leave the little money at home to your family."

Liang Dupeng nodded. His parents were still young and could do their jobs at home. It was the right thing to do to make more money outside. His wife lived in Shengzhou City, and the couple rented a small courtyard, and their lives were enjoyable.

After drinking tea for a while, Wang Pu said: "Did you hear that the government here is going to run a school?"

Liang Dupeng said: "I heard that. It's nothing strange. When I was in Suizhou, the Yingtianwu would run a school. They were all children under the age of ten in the village. They gathered together and asked two teachers to teach one. They taught one literacy, which was very simple and could not be considered a big deal if they learned it. It was not difficult to calculate one book, and learn to settle accounts. When I was in Suizhou, I taught for three years, and I don't care about the rest, and I don't know how many years I taught here."

Wang Pudao: "I think it's the same as Suizhou, it's just three years of teaching. This is an opportunity, I'm saving much money than my own private school teacher. I think that although the two children in the family are eleven years old, they will still let them go to school to study."

Liang Dupeng said: "It's like a family member, you should learn to read, learn to calculate books, and have more knowledge, which will be beneficial in the future."

Wang Pu nodded repeatedly: "That's the reason. I have never been to school since I was a child. Later, I became the leader, so I learned to read from others and read two books. My own children have always wanted to find a teacher to teach, but where can I find it? Ren Ze used to teach in my clan for a few days, but the two children were too young at that time and didn't learn much. If I had been teaching in school for three years, I could recognize some words and buy a few books to read on a daily basis, I think it would be much better."

There are many villain books sold in the shopping mall opposite. Wang Pu bought a few books and read them often in his spare time. The words of those books are simple, not Pian Si Li and Six, and can read them after learning them in school. When they get older and help themselves with their work, they can’t help them in their ability to read and calculate.

As the days gradually stabilized, the education of future generations was a big deal. As the business here stabilized, Wang Pu originally thought that he would bring his son over and find a gentleman. There were many people who could read in Shengzhou, most of whom were taught by Liang Dupeng, who were taught by Yingtianxiangjun in the past. It was obviously not appropriate to ask such people to go home to work in private schools. Since they were studying in private schools, of course they would have to read various classics and take the Jinshi exam in the future. However, the government opened a school and did not pay much money when they entered, which was another matter.

For Wang Pu, he didn't dare to expect his son to be a Jinshi. He didn't even have any ideas now. As long as he could read and keep the industry he created was excellent.

When Wang Pu heard Liang Dupeng talk about the opening of a school in Suizhou, the more he heard it, the more he was moved. It turned out that there were other schools there, and the eldest son could take the exam later, and many of them had a lifetime job. No matter where he was like Hequ Road, everything was a new beginning, who knew what it would look like?

Liang Dupeng drank tea and said, "My family is pregnant, and I think that when the child grows up, I will go to school. I am less than ten years old and can't do much work. What can I do when I'm idle? After entering the school, I'll learn for three years, and I can read a few words and enjoy it for the rest of my life."

Wang Pu nodded repeatedly: "The supervisor is right. It's like me. If I didn't recognize my words when I was a leader, I had the chance, so how could I open this store? I can't read the word in my store and buy things, let alone the usual time."

Liang Dupeng said: "Yes, people cannot read in the world, and there are many inconveniences. It's better to be in the countryside, especially in the city, and I can't even understand a list of articles. What's wrong with this? If I don't take the Jinshi exam, it's useless to recognize too many words. It's even worse to not read a big word."

Wang Pu deeply felt this. In this era, there were very few books on the market, and one person could read them, but there were not many books to read. However, if you don’t know a single word, you can’t even write a book contract, which is even more troublesome.

At this time, the book shop is important and semi-official, which is related to the low literacy rate. Most people are illiterate, and the government always requires documentary evidence, so isn't it necessary for book shops? Without official recognition and not gaining the trust of the people, this kind of business is difficult to do.

In the Mansion of Du Zhongxiao, Chen Xiliang took the official documents and said to Du Zhongxiao: "Jingshuai, there are so many schools, where can I teach?"

Du Zhongxiao said: "Last year, many people did not return to their hometowns and settled on Hequ Road. Most of the people who were decommissioned from the army could be teachers. It was just ordinary village studies, teaching people to read and calculate, which was very simple and not very labor-intensive."

Chen Xiliang hesitated: "The literacy class run by the army is extremely simple. Can those who have learned it here be gentlemen?"

Du Zhongxiao said: "What is a great thing to teach some rural children? As long as they are properly handled, as long as they recognize words and do books, they can teach them. The most important thing is that the government should organize exams and pay timely food and salary."

Chen Xiliang said: "It is not difficult to organize the exam by teaching such content. However, once the exam is taken, some people will learn well, and some people will not learn well. What should I do if I do well? What should I do if I do not do well? 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. What I originally thought was to do good things for the people so that they could have a place to learn since childhood. If you have good studies, you would not think about what you will do in the future. Otherwise, with the public officials of the government and the workers of the wool factory, the people who have good exams would study for a few more years. How about doing it here?"

Chen Xiliang shook his head: "There are many difficulties in doing this. The wool factory produces itself and recruits people should be their business. It is easy for the government to intervene, which makes the managers at a loss. The public officials in the yamen originally wanted to be innocent and have an industry locally, but this is not a big deal. It is hard to say whether the person who was good at the exam was suitable or not."
