"Beggars' Den?" Lu Shiyan asked.
"Yes, the Yang family planted some people among the beggars to encourage them to do some dirty things. The youngest son of Imperial Physician Qi was also brought among the beggars," Zhou Lei said.
Lu Shiyan's eyes were cold, "Rescued Imperial Physician Qi's youngest son and let the leaders take care of it."
The Zhou family had already remembered Jiang Tangtang's care for the Zhou family on the road and wanted to repay his kindness.
Coupled with the deaths and injuries of Zhou's family members on the way to exile, life became increasingly difficult after arriving at the exile.
During the Chinese New Year this year, Lu Shiyan happened to be hiring someone, so Zhou Lei took the initiative to ask Lu Shiyan to follow her.
As a military attache in the imperial court, Zhou Lei's handling of such matters was just childish.
That night, Zhou Lei handed over the youngest son of Imperial Physician Qi to Lu Shiyan. In addition to Qi Jun, the youngest son of Imperial Physician Qi, Zhou Lei also brought back several beggars.
"I saw how pitiful they were, and I felt pity for a moment, so I brought them back together."
Zhou Lei lowered his head, not daring to look at Lu Shiyan, "I made my own decision, and I voluntarily went to receive the punishment."
Lu Shiyan looked at He has learned the skills of several children, all of whom are good candidates for martial arts training. Although several children learned badly in the beggar's den, they were still young, so it was not impossible to give them a try.
If it doesn't work in the future, we'll deal with it later.
He said: "That's it, just take it back as soon as you get it! You go to Yongzhou for a trip."
Being sent to Yongzhou was because Lu Shiyan valued him. However, Zhou Lei hesitated.
Lu Shiyan understood his concerns and said slowly: "If you are worried about a few children, just send them over to keep some of my children company!"
Zhou Lei's eyes suddenly lit up and he said heavily to Lu Shiyan One bowed and said, "Thank you, Master, for your understanding!"
He respected him as his master. From then on, his wealth and life were all handed over to Lu Shiyan.
If Lu Shiyan succeeds in the future, the Zhou family will naturally turn around and return to the center of power.
If it fails, Zhou Lei doesn't want to think too much about the consequences. Now that we have embarked on this path, we must fight and conquer. Work hard to win.
Looking at the sudden appearance of a group of children at home, Jiang Tangtang had a slight headache. "What are you going to do with these children?"
Lu Shiyan looked at Jiang Tangtang and said in a polite tone: "Then it will be hard work for Madam!"
Jiang Tangtang thought about so many things. Children, it is not good to let them run around. She held her chin and thought for a moment before saying: "Let's set up a school!"
She looked at Shang Lu Shiyan's slightly surprised look and said with a smile: "Although we have provided jobs for some villagers in the village , but it is not enough. This alone cannot unite everyone.
When a school is built, all the children in the village will study there. In addition, the villagers will plant the crops I provide, which will increase economic returns. Everyone will have a better life. With hope in their hearts, they will naturally turn to us wholeheartedly."
She would bring out a few new words from time to time in her words. Although Lu Shiyan had never heard of it, he could probably understand what she meant.
He originally wanted to tease her, not really want her help to solve the problem. But he didn't expect that the solution she gave was actually better and more comprehensive than he thought.
The smile on his face deepened, "As expected of my wife! Then just follow what the wife said."
Jiang Tangtang always felt that his smile was a little unexpectedly deep, but her mind quickly turned away and discussed the address of the Jianxuetang with Lu Shiyan. .
In her opinion, just uniting the people in Nanzhuang is not enough. It is best to unite all the forces nearby that can be united.
The school will be open to people from Zhounanzhuang first, but in the future, it will definitely be open to people from the surrounding area as well.
Therefore, it is best to build this location where it is convenient for several villages to travel, and the school should be built as large as possible.
The two picked a few places and went to discuss with Manager Xia.
Building a school in Zhuangzi is a great thing for both the Xia family and Zhuangzi as a whole.
Manager Xia naturally agreed with both hands and feet.
When the address was finally selected, he quickly went to the Yamen and handed over the land deed to Jiang Tangtang. He also told his nephew that the wages of the work team should be the minimum, and that more thought must be put into building the school.
Soon, the news that the Lu family was going to build a school in Zhuangzi spread in the village.
The villagers' first reaction was disbelief, "Are you serious? The Lu family really wants to build a school in the village?"
"Is it so easy to build a school? No matter how rich the Lu family is, they can't bear to throw money on the ground like this, right? Why don't they? You're bragging!"
"What am I bragging about? I heard it with my own ears. If you don't believe me
, go ask Manager Xia." Ge Sanniang said, "Mrs. Lu's wife has already made an agreement with Manager Xia and his nephew to wait until the farming season is busy. After that, I will lead people to build a house on the wasteland on the left side of the Zhuangzhuang intersection!"
After hearing this, people did not argue with Ge Sanniang and simply went to Manager Xia for verification, "Manager Xia, Zhuangzi really wants to Build a school?"
Manager Xia's face was full of joy, "Yes! From now on, our Zhuangzi will also have our own school!"
He said and knocked again: "But how can everyone have such a good life today? Zhuangzi Why did you go to the school where you came from? I think everyone knows in their hearts that you should not forget the kindness of the Lu family. From now on, you should keep your mouth shut and say less if you shouldn't say it. You should restrain your thoughts that you shouldn't have. Don't offend others."
When he said this, he looked at Ge Shuanniang with serious eyes, full of warning.
Ge Shuanniang was not convinced, but she did not dare to refute Manager Xia. She didn't dare to mess with the Lu family anymore, so she could only inquire in a nonchalant manner: "Then all the children in our village can go to school?"
As soon as she finished speaking, everyone in the village looked at Manager Xia with burning eyes. Obviously, this is also a concern for everyone.
"Of course you can, but you have to ask the Lu family for details on how to enroll."
Everyone was happy to hear that their children could enroll in the village's school. Many families brought vegetables from their own fields to deliver to the Lu family.
Jiang Tangtang naturally refused, but the villagers sincerely wanted to give it away and did not give Jiang Tangtang a chance to refuse. They often left the dishes at the door and ran away.
In addition to delivering food, villagers also carry hoes and consciously help build schools.
Butler Ying has been secretly monitoring every move of the Lu family. After seeing this, he quickly reported the matter to Ying Cang.
After finishing speaking, he couldn't help but sigh: "Master, you are really good at judging people. This Jiang family really has some tricks.
It's just a small favor, and all the villagers have been united. Now Nazhou Nanzhuang is like an iron wall." ."
"They are just short-sighted villagers. The villagers can be grateful to the Lu family and treat the Lu family for a small favor, but they can also deal with the Lu family for greater interests."
Ying Cang ordered in a cold voice: "Don't let it happen. The Lu family is better off."
