"This city is full of waste and needs to be revitalized, but it still pays attention to scholars?"
"Mu You is attending a private school now. Our private school in Weiyang City is free of charge. It is funded by the city lord's palace and allows all children over the age of five to go to school. There are many girls in charge of taking care of the children, and teachers are also in urgent need."
Chun Xiu was greatly moved, "In such troubled times, he still has the heart to enlighten his children. The lord of Weiyang City has great ambitions!"
Zhongtian Continent attaches great importance to cultivation and does not have an imperial examination system. People who are illiterate can only get the title of scholar, which is like a mortal. After that, they need to have spiritual roots to become a Confucian monk. Otherwise, you can only be a teacher or manager all your life, working for aristocratic families.
Therefore, the goal of scholars in Xinglingzhou is to be a steward or a teacher.
This made Chun Xiu sometimes feel that he might as well be a mortal in the Central Plains and try his best to make a future.
But this Weiyang City seems to be different.
"Dad, brother, eat quickly. Mu En is still sleeping. You have to finish your meal and wash up before going to the east room to see us. The medical class told us that we adults are not easy to get sick when we are strong, but children are more likely to get sick when they come into contact with outsiders. "
"You're right, we don't have to stick to false etiquette."
With that said, Chun Xiu and Chun Feng, father and son, washed their hands as required and swallowed the sticky potato and bean sprout porridge. The heat of the food warmed the hungry two people from body to heart.
Chun Feng exclaimed: "It actually still tastes like salt!"
"This is rock salt. Each family only has a small piece, but it still has a salty taste."
"The more I understand about Weiyang City, the more eye-opening it is for me." Chun Xiu touched his beard and didn't know what to say for a while.
They escaped from Anyu City against all odds, but were kicked out of Qing'an City. They were originally disheartened, but they found out about their daughter's family when they walked to a farmland a hundred miles away and met someone they knew well.
Unfortunately, they were so relieved that they fainted and stayed in a temporary residence next to the farmland for a day before waking up.
An acquaintance gave Zhang Hu a message and came to pick them up.
I thought that Weiyang City was originally an abandoned city and the situation would not be too good, so I was prepared in my heart. But he didn't expect that the further he went towards Weiyang City, the more frightening he would be.
There was no sign of desolation on the towering city walls, and the green farmland made them think it was spring. Not to mention that Zhang Hu took them into the city and walked into the yard. There were many carriages along the way. Although there were many refugees, they were in good order.
Especially the smile on everyone's face, that is happiness that will never appear on the faces of refugees.
They went to work in groups, and there were voices in every house.
The tall pavilions cast in the west of the city were faintly visible in the distance. Zhang Hu told them that they were "buildings" built by the city lord to allow more people to live in the house quickly.
They had fled to countless cities. In Lingzhou, they had never seen such a nice place, such an orderly life, and such different treatment.
After a long silence, the father and son lowered their heads and drank the porridge completely.
Chunhua knew that it was her father's old habit. No matter how hungry he was, he would not be in the mood to eat when he thought about things.
"Another bowl? We still have plenty in the kitchen!"
"good!"
The father and son ate two more bowls.
Chunhua and Aunt Zhang put away the dishes and told them again and again, "Dad, brother, you live in the west room and wash up. We have hot water. If you touch the bed, you will make great discoveries!"
Chun Xiu and Chun Feng no longer refused. They escaped with nothing on them and could only help with a shy face.
Originally they wanted to help clean up, but Aunt Zhang refused and asked them to quickly go see if Westinghouse was satisfied.
As soon as the two entered the room, they felt the warmth rushing towards their faces. Chunfeng was startled and quickly walked to the kang. When he touched it with his hand, a tear slipped from his eyes. He choked and said, "Dad, this bed is so amazing." It’s going to be hot!”
