Seeing Xiang Nan's support, Bai Jiaxuan was naturally very happy.
"Hei Wa, it has to be you." He said with a smile, and then looked at Lu Zilin, "Zilin, as for building the school and hiring teachers, we will take care of it."
"Oh, it doesn't matter what I said about my family. I'll go back and discuss it with Da." Lu Zilin did not agree immediately, but waved his hand and said.
It costs money to build a school, and it also costs money to hire a husband. These are not small sums. He really doesn't want to pay for it.
Then, regardless of Bai Jiaxuan's efforts to stay, he stood up and left.
"Uncle Jiaxuan, it doesn't matter. Uncle Zilin won't interfere if he doesn't want to." Xiang Nan smiled and said, "We can't delay the child's affairs. How about we take care of it first?"
"Yeah, that's fine." Bai Jiaxuan nodded.
He had actually planned to open a school several years ago. At first, I thought about building an ancestral hall and running a school at the same time. In this way, the ancestors and future generations will remember Bai Jiaxuan.
But later he was just busy making money, and he forgot about building ancestral halls and running schools. Now that the ancestral hall has been repaired, he plans to start a school again.
At that time, his name will also be tied to the ancestral hall and school, and will be famous for generations to come.
Afterwards, Bai Jiaxuan and Xiang Nan started planning.
…
And just as the two of them were thinking about setting up a school, there were still villains secretly trying to make a move.
One night, Bai Jiaxuan was getting ready to go to bed.
The lame man who was on duty came to report that several more people entered the little widow's house.
It turns out that there was a young widow in Bailu Village. Her husband had just died half a year ago and she had been observing the law.
When Bai Jiaxuan heard this, he knew that they were going to gamble again, so he immediately followed the lame man.
As a result, when the door was kicked open, the little widow was found to be the only one in the little widow's house. She was startled and shivered when he came in, and there was no trace of anyone else.
Only then did Bai Jiaxuan realize that he had been fooled.
He asked the lame man to continue patrolling the night, and then walked home angrily.
As soon as he reached the corner, a strong wind suddenly hit him from behind, and Bai Jiaxuan was knocked to the ground immediately.
His vision went dark and he fainted.
It was only at dawn that he was discovered and helped home.
After Xiang Nan came to see it, he found that there was no serious injury, but his neck was twisted.
He then pressed Bai Jiaxuan a few times and straightened his neck.
"Uncle Jiaxuan, who is so cruel to do such a dirty trick?" Xiang Nan asked.
"I just won't let you grow cigarettes. Gou Ri will take revenge on me." Bai Jiaxuan said through gritted teeth.
"I've told you before, let's not do this clan leader. You see, someone is doing something behind his back." Bai Zhao said distressedly.
Wu Xiancao looked at Bai Jiaxuan with worry in his eyes.
"Ma Liuer, take the javelin to the academy and see if my brother-in-law and sister are okay?" Bai Jiaxuan asked again.
He and Mr. Zhu did the smoking ban together. He was beaten up, so he was worried that his brother-in-law would also be retaliated against.
Ma Liuer nodded, carried the spear and went out.
…
At this time, the lame man came in smelling bad and said, "Chief, I quit doing the night patrol. I was also beaten last night.
They covered my head and asked me if I dared to tip you off, and if I dared to follow you to arrest gambling and ban smoking. Then they threw me into the pigsty. "
"Okay, I understand. Mr. Lame, you go back first, and I will take care of your affairs later." Bai Jiaxuan nodded.
"Immortal grass, give it to Lame Master, and go through the back door." Bai Zhao reminded.
Wu Xiancao nodded.
"Uncle Jiaxuan, if you are fine, I will leave." Xiang Nan said.
"I'm fine." Bai Jiaxuan shook his head, "Hei Wa, your skills are really good. Just press a few times and my neck won't hurt anymore."
"Well, but it's best to raise them. You have to be careful in the future." Xiang Nan reminded, "Uncle Jiaxuan, you have established your authority by banning gambling and smoking. No one in the village dares to object to it." you.
But if you cut off everyone's way of making money, people will hate you behind their backs. At this time, you should show some kindness and let the people see the benefits. Otherwise, this kind of thing will be inevitable in the future. "
Bai Jiaxuan was beaten this time because he cut off everyone's financial resources and made the villagers resentful of him. Although I dare not touch him on the surface, I can't help but do mischief in private.
As the saying goes, two fists are hard to beat with four hands, and a hero cannot stand against a large number of people. Bai Jiaxuan has offended many people this time. If he doesn't show some kindness, he will really become the target of public criticism.
Bai Jiaxuan nodded after hearing this.
…
Later, Bai Jiaxuan went to find his brother-in-law.
Mr. Zhu also told him that he should repay evil with kindness, and told him the story of Emperor Shun who was framed by his family several times, but he did not bear grudges, but repaid evil with kindness, and finally influenced his family and made peace.
"Brother-in-law, your idea is almost the same as Hei Wa's." Bai Jiaxuan said.
"What did Hei Wa say?" Mr. Zhu asked curiously.
"Hei Wa said that he wanted to 'give both kindness and power'. He said that I had established my power, but I didn't show kindness. So everyone was afraid of me on the surface, but in fact they all hated me privately." Bai Jiaxuan explained, "So he asked me to show kindness. , let the people see the benefits, otherwise someone will harm me."
"Hei Wa is smart." Mr. Zhu nodded after hearing this.
Although he didn't like Xiang Nan's way of using strange powers and confusion, he did admire his intelligence and wisdom.
"Since you and he said so, then I will do it." Bai Jiaxuan said, and then he began to show kindness.
He called several people in the village who were short of land and rented their land to them at a low price. He also sent grain to a few households that were unable to cook. He also lent cattle to several households that were short of labor... …
In addition, he also went into the city and found Shitou's daughter-in-law and son who were out begging for food.
It turned out that Shitou'er not only played with money but also smoked, which depleted all his family's savings. In the end, the family had nothing and couldn't even afford food. Therefore, Shitou's daughter-in-law had no choice but to take her child to the county town and beg on the streets.
…
In addition, he is also planning to treat the whole village to dinner and talk to everyone about repairing the warehouse and opening a school.
There was originally a Bailucang on Bailuyuan, a warehouse set up by the Qing government. It was located in the wilderness three miles west of the town to store grain in good years and provide relief to the people in bad years. There was only one cangzheng official who was responsible for collecting grain in good years and distributing relief in bad years.
After the Qing Dynasty fell, there was naturally no one to manage Bailucang. It has been left deserted for so many years and is about to collapse.
But Bai Jiaxuan felt that it was still necessary to reset Bailucang.
He set up a charity warehouse and asked the rich households in the village to donate some food to provide relief to the poor villagers in the village. This was also the welfare he strived for for the villagers. Moreover, we should store more food in good years so that we can help our fellow villagers in disaster years.
Bailuyuan has suffered from droughts and insect plagues many times, so it would be good to have a food reserve.
