Li Miao and Li Qiang came to the county government office. Firstly, there were relevant procedures to go through regarding the donation, and secondly, Li Miao came to see Magistrate Wang. Wang Jianqi has long known that Li Miao won the third place in the college examination. It seems that Li Miao has a bright future. Wang Jianqi even wondered whether he would be unhappy because he was not given the case last time. But seeing Li Miao, I still sincerely thanked County Magistrate Wang for his kindness. Then I felt relieved.
The two soon talked about the provincial examination and even tried it. And Wang Jianqi is also a veteran, and he gives sincere advice without reservation. Finally, Li Miao talked to Magistrate Wang about the high-quality seeds cultivated in his family's acres. Now it can only be seen that the growth is quite good, and it is expected to exceed production by more than half. The key depends on the summer harvest. Wang Jianqi's eyes were also brightened, this was a real political achievement. He expressed that he would pay attention and if possible, he would choose to try planting in the county's public fields. In the end, the two had a very happy conversation. Finally, County Magistrate Wang personally escorted Li Miao out of the county government office and gave Li Miao his best wishes for the rural high school examination.
When I got home, everyone except Li Shui smiled honestly at the gate. Grandma and mother are missing. What's going on? This is not what I should be receiving. The original treatment can no longer be reproduced. Since Xiao Min brought them home, these two girls have coaxed their grandma and mother to the point where they can't help but be confused.
Damin has gone through many ups and downs and was born in an official family, so he naturally knows the importance of his two elders. Xiao Min is also the shopkeeper's girl, she is well-informed and has experienced many hardships. When the two elders learned that both their daughters had been taken in by Li Miao, they were overjoyed even before they had eaten Juezi Soup. Although his eyes were digging hard at Li Miao, his digging eyes couldn't help but reveal a hint of joy. Maybe it's because Li Miao's family is too thin. I don't know if it exists. So I treasure it even more. Li Miao really didn't scan it with his spiritual consciousness, Sui Yuan?
Li Miao now has the reputation of being a scholar and is the number one person in the village. Logically speaking, he is also the one in charge of the family. However, some things have to be discussed with grandma. This is the most basic respect. He is about to go to Jinling to take the provincial examination, and he must make proper arrangements for family affairs and village affairs.
The ancestral hall was opened for sacrifices the next day. This was definitely a major event in the clan. To comfort the ancestors, there was a scholar in the clan. The clan leader and clan elders were also moved to tears. The clan is prosperous.
After the sacrifice, the chiefs and elders of the two clans discussed important matters in the Li's ancestral hall. This was also a major event in the village. It was the first time they discussed it in the Li's ancestral hall. The Li clan seemed to be on top of the Hu clan. This shows the power of the scholar function. Do you know that the Hu family is the absolute richest family in the village, accounting for 70% of the population? Now Li Miao is completely integrated into this world. Although he now has the reputation of being a scholar, he cannot decide the affairs of the village with just one word. The clan also has clan rules.
Even if it is just a formality, today we will mainly discuss two things. First, set up a half-village school. Second, the recruitment of village guards.
First, Li Miao donated 3,000 taels of silver to purchase acres of land. As public land for the village school, he could almost buy 120 acres of good paddy fields. The address of the village school is still Hu's private school. The village school will be managed by Mr. Hu, and two to three other boys will be hired as teachers. Boys over five years old will be admitted for free. The school provides a free lunch. The village school has three days of cultural classes and one day of martial arts classes. After three years of schooling, boys will be assessed and their direction of civil and military education will be determined.
Academic performance is assessed every month based on half of the civil and military scores. Top students are rated at 200 essays per month, average students are rated at 150 essays per month, and poor students are rated at 100 essays per month. The assessment is jointly conducted by the clan leaders of the two clans, Old Master Hu and the captain of the guard team. . Because schools were opened for the first time, the age limit for school children was relaxed to fifteen years old. Nowadays, there is a monthly fee for going to school. It is estimated that all boys aged five to fifteen will go to school. Li Miao wants to improve the cultural quality of the villagers so that those with outstanding abilities can be used by himself in the future. As for the girl, forget it, there are some things that he can't change now.
second. The question of the Village Guard. From now on, at the end of April every year, the village guard team will recruit members in the village school. Li Miao believed that the village guards were somewhat educated. The two clan chiefs, Old Master Hu, Li Qiang and the captain of the guard team were jointly assessed. They still attached great importance to Li Miao in the village guard team, so the Li family manager was also included in the assessment. After all, the village guard is actually the servants of the Li family, and they also want to take care of the villagers' face. Now the team members are all contributors to the Li family. I eat from Li's family and drink from yours, and I still have monthly bills.
Since Li Shui will lead a group of village guards to the capital in the near future, the number of village guards recruited this time is fifteen. Li Miao suggested that it would be better for a young man of fifteen or sixteen years old. No matter how hard you practice, you won’t be able to produce any good results.
This is also the focus of this meeting. The village guards are now a powerful force in the village. The Hu clan has a natural advantage this time because of its large number of people. The two clan leaders and elders, on this issue Not giving an inch of ground, the smell of gunpowder is strong. Li Miao didn't express an opinion. His eyes were no longer limited to the village. They were all about cultivating talents for him anyway.
