Chapter 186 Prepare with both hands
A trace of longing flashed in Goudan's eyes, but he finally shook his head.
Lin Xuan asked curiously, "Don't you want to study?"
Goudan said: "Go back to Lord Hou, my family is poor, and I have no money to let me study."
Lin Xuan felt a little sad, Goudan was only seven or eight years old, if he was placed in later generations, he would look carefree.
However, at such a young age, Goudan has already started to think about his family.
Lin Xuan rubbed Goudan's head, and said, "It's okay, you don't need to spend money to study, and you still take care of the food."
He just planned to build an academy, and he didn't plan to collect money.Children of the common people in Zhouzhuang can come as long as they agree with their age.
"Really?" Goudan looked at Lin Xuan in disbelief.
Goudan, who is still young, doesn't know what reading means.
But he had heard that those officials and lords were all scholars.
Reading means to him that he can be an official.As an official, he can find someone to serve his parents, and his mother doesn't have to work hard to farm the land.
Lin Xuan smiled and said, "Of course, do you think I'm going to lie?"
Goudan shook his head.
Lin Xuan said: "Since I won't lie to you, are you willing to study?"
Goudan hesitated for a while, and asked, "Master Hou, do you have to go to school every day to study?"
Lin Xuan nodded and said, "Although it's not every day, it's about the same."
Goudan said, "Then I won't go."
Lin Xuan was a little surprised and asked, "Why?"
He could feel that Goudan wanted to go, and he was worried that his family could not afford him to study.
Lin Xuan had already said that it would be free, and he would still take care of the food, but Goudan still refused.
Goudan said: "My mother is too tired to farm alone. If I go to study every day, I won't be able to help her."
Lin Xuan was shocked. Is this still a child of seven or eight years old?
Those eighteen or nineteen-year-old adults in later generations rarely think about the hard work of their parents.
"It's okay, if you go to study for a reason, I will give your family a rent reduction." Lin Xuan said with a smile.
"Thank you, Lord Hou!" Goudan was excited, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Master Hou, I don't know if my sister can go to study too?"
Lin Xuan shook his head and said, "No."
It's not that Lin Xuan dislikes women and is unwilling to recruit them.
No matter how open the atmosphere was in the Tang Dynasty, there were no male and female students studying in the same class.
Even after Wu Zetian ascended the throne, the status of women was greatly improved, there is no such precedent.
If he sets such a precedent, he will definitely be condemned by scholars all over the world.
Even if he didn't care, those parents would not agree.
In "The Butterfly Lovers", which has been passed down through the ages, isn't Zhu Yingtai also disguised as a man.
Goudan said with some disappointment: "Master Hou, I'm too greedy."
Lin Xuan said: "Although I can't let your sister study with you, she can study medicine."
The establishment of a hospital requires not only doctors, but also many apprentices.
Although there are not many women studying medicine, it is not uncommon.
"Can you reduce the rent?" Goudan asked expectantly.
Lin Xuan was a little speechless, and for a long time he was thinking about the rent reduction.
"Of course." Lin Xuan said.
He doesn't care about this rent.
Goudan jumped up excitedly and said, "Great, I'll tell my mother the news now."
Lin Xuan watched Goudan run away, smiled and shook his head.
"Liu Da, ask someone to bring the remaining potatoes, let's go back." Lin Xuan said.
He thought for a while and couldn't put the eggs in a cage.
I kept a few catties and prepared to go back and plant them myself.
In case something goes wrong here, the remaining point can also be reproduced.
It's just a little longer.
Just when Lin Xuan was about to leave to go back, Shen Yuee hurried over with Goudan and Erya.
"Master Hou, children are ignorant, don't mind." After finishing speaking, Shen Yue'e stared like a dog, and said, "Don't hurry up and apologize to Master Hou. Master Hou has already reduced our rent by [-]%, and now leave it to us Such a simple job as a housekeeper actually reduced our one-year rent. To be a human being, one must be content."
Goudan's eye sockets were slightly red, and he knew he had just cried.
Lin Xuan waved his hand and said: "This has nothing to do with Goudan. I had this plan in the first place. It's just that the college has not been built yet, and the people in Zhuangzi have not been notified. When the college is built, all the people in Zhouzhuang will be with you Like home."
He will only give this condition to the people of Zhouzhuang. Others, at most, will teach for free and provide meals.
He can't let other people come to study, so he has to post it backwards.
In this way, no matter how many academies he builds, it is not enough.
"Thank you, Lord Hou!" Shen Yue'e said excitedly.
Goudan just said that going to school is not only free, but also read, and you can also reduce the rent.
Although Lin Xuan hasn't said how much it will be reduced, but the academy manages meals, and Goudan doesn't have to eat at home when he goes to study, and the burden on the family can be greatly reduced.
Erya can also study medicine, and in this way, she and Zhou Aniu will have meals at home, and in this way, life in her family will be much easier in the future.
"I turned around and asked someone to bring a wheelchair over. With a wheelchair, although Uncle Zhou can't go to work in the fields, he can still do some simple housework at home." Lin Xuan said with a smile.
He had seen Zhou Aniu's injury, and he was missing a sole of his foot.
With a wheelchair, I can usually cook at home and do some housework, which is still no problem.
"Thank you, Lord Hou, for your great kindness, women have nothing to repay you, so I can only kowtow to you." Shen Yue'e said, pulling Goudan and Erya to kneel down.
Lin Xuan hurriedly supported her and said, "Aunt Shen, what are you doing? Get up quickly."
All he did was a matter of little effort, and he didn't feel how much he had paid.
But in Shen Yue'e's eyes, Lin Xuan's series of help made their hard-to-maintain family able to survive, and even live better.
Shen Yue'e didn't listen to Lin Xuan, and knocked down with Goudan and Erya.
Lin Xuan hurriedly dodged and said, "Aunt Shen, if you do this again, what I said before won't count."
Shen Yue'e hesitated for a moment when she heard the words, and got up with Goudan and Erya.
Lin Xuan breathed a sigh of relief and said, "You are the greatest thank you to me for helping me take care of the potatoes."
"Don't worry, Lord Hou, the women will definitely take care of you." Shen Yue'e said hastily.
"Alright, it's getting late, I'll go back first." After speaking, Lin Xuan got on his horse and left with Liu Da and other soldiers.
Shen Yue'e wanted to keep Lin Xuan for dinner, but his family really didn't have anything to sell.I had no choice but to keep this kindness in my heart.
Until Lin Xuan's figure disappeared, Shen Yue'e said to Goudan and Erya: "You must remember the kindness that Lord Hou has shown to our family, and repay Lord Hou well in the future."
"Mother, we remember!" Goudan and Erya nodded.
……
Lin Xuan returned home and put the remaining few catties of potatoes in the room where the peppers were placed according to the previous method.
After Lin Xuan finished, he clapped his hands. Now he just needs to wait for the germination and then plant it in the ground.
After finishing all this work, Lin Xuan went to check the peppers again.
Seeing that the peppers are growing very well, Lin Xuan nodded in satisfaction.
……
"My lord, it's inconvenient for this servant to serve you tonight." Chunyue lowered her head and whispered.
Lin Xuan smiled and said: "It's okay, wait until it's convenient for you, remember to drink more hot water these days."
He didn't quite understand what to pay attention to when his aunt came, but he had seen it before, and it seemed that drinking more hot water was helpful, so he explained it.
As for whether it is useful or not, he doesn't know, anyway, drinking more water is not harmful.
Chunyue suggested: "Master, why don't you let Yuhe accompany you?"
Lin Xuan was taken aback, and said: "What do you think of the young master, how old is Yuhe? Besides, I don't know if he is willing or not."
Chunyue said slyly: "Young master, as long as Yuhe agrees, it's fine? I asked Yuhe, and she is willing."
"Cough cough cough~"
Lin Xuan blushed from Yuhe's words, and said, "That's not okay, she's still young, so let's talk about it next year. Go back to sleep."
Chunyue said with a slight smile: "Yes, I will tell Yuhe right now, servant girl."
Seeing Chunyue leaving, Lin Xuan shook his head and went to bed.
In the past few days, I have gotten used to the two-person tax, but Lin Xuan is not used to lying on the bed alone.
"When Lu Bu didn't have Diao Chan, he was invincible in the world. After having Diao Chan for a few years, he couldn't even beat Zhang Fei. I must take this as a warning." Lin Xuan comforted himself in his heart.
Seeing Chunyue come back, Yuhe looked at her expectantly.
Chunyue said apologetically, "I've already told you, but you didn't agree."
Yuhe was a little sad, pretended to smile, and said: "It's okay, maybe the young master doesn't like me."
Chunyue snorted, laughed, and said: "Okay, I won't tease you anymore, the young master said that you are too young, and I will let you sleep next year."
"Hate."
Yuhe knew that she was played by Chunyue, so she went up and scratched Chunyue's itch, but Chunyue was not to be outdone, and the two got into a mess.
