Chapter 171 Can’t Be Lazy
After pulling several carriages of food and grass back to the military camp, General Baili praised Xiao Feiye unstintingly in the military camp.
The border war made Xiao Feiye know that after this time, Jiang Guo might not be able to stand up.
It's almost time to go home.
Shen Qianning didn't know about the border affairs. If she wanted to know about the border affairs, she could only ask Magistrate Meng.
But she knew that Magistrate Meng was actually very busy every day.
She couldn't keep bothering Magistrate Meng.
So she always remembers her identity and does what she should do.
With enough money and the hard work of the workers, it only took half a month to build the rooms for people to live in Xingfu Village.
A total of two rows of houses were built. The rooms are not very big, but there are many.
When Shen Qianning went to see it, he found that Qinglin was instructing the craftsmen and Xu Yang to build a pigsty.
Qinglin still smiled when he faced Shen Qianning and said, "We will be able to repair the pig pen in a few days."
They are now going all out to build pig pens.
Mainly, it rained heavily before, and there were showers for three consecutive days, so the construction was not started.
They were particularly worried about delaying Shen Qianning's pig raising.
Especially Qinglin, he knows very well that raising pigs can bring very good benefits.
Shen Qianning took a look and saw that everyone was working seriously and was not lazy, and said: "There is no need to be in a hurry. Anyway, the red sweet potato vine in the field has not grown up yet, so there is no rush for the time being."
However, the matter of Piggy was left to Qinglin Office.
Asked: "Did Brother Qinglin help me ask about the little piggy?"
After hearing this, Qinglin shook his head and said with some regret: "I asked, but many people don't have it, unless I go a little further and ask."
He went to the county seat several times, but the previous famine made life difficult for everyone.
Finally, we have a little harvest, and our family's life has improved. Even if we have the conditions to raise pigs, the sows we raise at this time are not yet ready to give birth to piglets.
There are people selling piglets in the county town, but the prices are extremely expensive.
It’s really not cost-effective to do the math.
Shen Qianning said: "I've asked about the county before. The price is too expensive. Why don't you leave the matter here to Xu Yang and the others? You can help me go to other counties to ask about the piglets. If it doesn’t work, you can go to Qucheng and ask.”
Qinglin knew that the matter was very important, so he went to Qucheng early the next morning.
Of course he was driving Shen Qianning's carriage.
Qucheng is far away, and Qinglin has only been there once.
I used to walk on my legs, but this time I had a carriage and it was much easier than before.
When Shen Qianning returned to the village, she went directly to the fields.
Nanchuan has returned to the academy, and she is the only one left at home.
But the village gradually became a little different because of Xiao Nanchuan.
Because everyone found that the children in the village really wanted to study, and every child's eyes were full of curiosity.
Many children even clamored and begged their families to send them to the academy.
This discovery makes many people happy and worried at the same time.
After all, sending your children to school means spending a lot of money.
But the children really wanted to go to school, and they began to struggle again.
The first person to find Shen Qianning was Aunt Wu.
Aunt Wu has a child at home. She learned to recognize her own name from Xiao Nanchuan and could also write hers, which made her very happy.
Now she has more than ten taels of silver in her hand, something she had never dared to think about before.
But at the same time, I also know that the money cannot be spent casually.
After asking the children's opinions, she decided to send her eldest son to the academy first.
Although they are reluctant to spend money, if the family can produce a scholar or number one scholar, then their family will truly turn around.
Shen Qianning was pulling grass in the field.
When he saw Aunt Wu coming, he didn't stand up, but continued to pull grass.
Aunt Wu squatted not far from Shen Qianning and helped pull grass, and asked: "Qianning, I heard that you also invested money in the county academy?"
Shen Qianning nodded. There was no need to hide this matter: "I did invest a little money, but the affairs of the academy have nothing to do with me. They are all under the control of County Magistrate Meng. Is there something wrong with you?"
Aunt Wu nodded immediately and said quickly: "I would like to ask if my child can go to the academy? How much money does it cost per year?"
She was still worried that it was too expensive.
At this moment, Lady Stone also came.
Immediately afterwards, several more women came from the village. They all took the initiative to help pull grass, and then asked Shen Qianning about the academy.
Shen Qianning answered them one by one.
After knowing that they could not spend more than one tael of silver a year, everyone no longer hesitated.
give away!
Children must be sent to school.
You can't even spend one tael of silver a year on eating, drinking, and having sex in the academy, so why should you hesitate?
After all, it’s money for children to eat at home!
The key is to go to the academy. The teachers in the academy can still teach them, and they can still read, read, and understand principles. Why should they hesitate?
Yes, the child must be sent to the academy.
Shen Qianning does not have a carriage now, and Qinglin has taken the carriage for use.
So he said: "You can go to the academy and ask. If you think clearly, let your child go to the academy as soon as possible. It's not worthwhile to delay it for a day, right?"
This speaks to everyone's heart.
The next day, many people in the village packed their bags and sent them to the county town with their children.
When Magistrate Meng heard that many students suddenly came to the academy, and they were all from Niwo Village, he understood.
I'm afraid it's Shen Qianning's fault.
Of course he is happy. The more children who can come to study, the better. These children are the future and hope of Pu County.
He really wanted to see these children shine and have a bright future.
Most of the children went to the academy, and the village became quite deserted.
After all, I could usually hear the children playing, but now I really couldn't hear anything.
Shen Qianning doesn't worry about this.
The vegetables in the field can be sold.
Chen Zhongqiu also sent news that the restaurant's business has become a bit poor recently and they need vegetables.
Shen Qianning then asked someone to bring a letter to Wang Mazi to come to the village.
Baskets of chicken and vegetables were sent to several cities by Huwei Escort Agency.
Qinglin also came back at this time.
Qinglin looked a little tired.
Not caring about avoiding suspicion this time, Shen Qianning opened the courtyard door and Qinglin got in.
He said with a hard look on his face: "Qian Ning has done everything. We bought a total of thirty pigs and the pigs have been sent to Xingfu Village."
Shen Qianning poured a cup of tea for Qinglin and saw Old Man Xiao coming.
She knew that Mr. Xiao was also afraid that someone would gossip about Shen Qianning. With a third person present, it would be difficult for outsiders to say anything.
She could understand these details, so her heart felt warm.
"Thank you for your hard work, Brother Qinglin. You should go back and have a good rest these two days!"
Qinglin immediately waved his hand and refused: "No, no, the matter in Xingfu Village has not been settled yet, so I can't just go and rest."
He was getting a monthly salary, yes, the monthly salary Qian Ning said.
What you receive is only a month's money, how can you be lazy?
