Chapter 290 Ideological and Political Class

Although she wanted to save the money and use it as a dowry for her eldest granddaughter, Ran Ran was not yet a hairdresser, and her family was in urgent need of money.

First take out a banknote and use it so that the grandchildren at home can learn to read. Later, when they become successful, or when the fourth child is admitted as a scholar, then double the amount will be returned to Ran Ran!

So she nodded and said: "Ran Ran is right. In the past, it was because our family didn't have that much money, so we couldn't afford to send other people to school to read and write. But now our family has the ability. As long as the children of appropriate age are sent to school, Be literate! But we don’t need to pay for this bunch of repairs, our family still has money."

Qiao Ran glanced at the old lady and smiled.

When the three boys Dong, Nan and Xi saw that their grandmother had agreed to the eldest sister's suggestion, they all had grimaces on their faces. They didn't want to think about it!

Seeing them like this, Qiao Ran knew that their minds had not turned around for a while.

It seems that I have to give an ideological and political lesson to my younger brothers.

She said seriously to her younger brothers: "Xiaodong, Xiaonan, Xiaoxi, although everyone has their own ambitions, do you really want to spend your whole life digging in the fields and relying on the sky for food like our ancestors? This time we Do you know why I almost starved to death while escaping?"

"It's because we are just mud-legged people digging in the fields and relying on the sky for food. If God has good weather, we can have a good harvest, and after paying taxes, we can at least have some food left to sell for money. But if God is not happy, we How can we survive when we have nothing to gain and not even enough to eat?”

"But if you are promising and pass the scholar examination, our family will be exempted from taxes. This is a matter of great honor to the whole family. If you win the imperial examination, you will not only be exempted from taxes, but also enjoy the imperial salary and the qualifications to be an official. That would be a great thing, with the lintel shining brightly and the chickens and dogs ascending to heaven. Even if there is a famine year, our family will not starve to death."

"Even if you don't want to take the imperial examination, it is always beneficial to know more words. If you can write and do calculations, you can also be a bookkeeper, steward, etc., wouldn't it be better than being a mud-legged person all your life?"

"Even if you are willing to be a fool for the rest of your life, don't you want to think about your family? Don't you want your grandma, parents, brothers, sisters, and even your descendants to live a good life?"

What Qiao Ran didn't say was that she didn't live in poverty. She had to do something big, lead her family and even the whole village to get rich, and live a good and comfortable life, so that she wouldn't live this life in vain.

It is not in vain that the original owner gave up such a good family member to him, so he must fulfill his filial piety on behalf of the original owner, so that his grandma, mother-in-law, uncles, aunts, nephews and nieces can also enjoy the blessings.

And if I want to do big things in the future, I will naturally need a right-hand assistant.

Aren't these young boys in my family the best assistants? If they don't know a few Chinese characters, how can they help themselves in the future?

Furthermore, they are now on the outskirts of the capital. How many dignitaries are there in the capital?

If their family or the whole village becomes wealthy and turns this terrifying man-eating devil valley into a fairy valley that can lay golden eggs, there is no guarantee that it will not attract the covetousness of greedy people.

If those people in the capital were interested in this valley, how could they, as civilians, protect their homes and property?

She had also read farming articles in her previous life, and knew that it would be impossible not to have something to do with the court later on.

Only by finding a strong backer can the protagonist's wealth be protected.

But if they have always been weak-legged, even if they get rich from farming and doing business in the future, they will not be able to let powerful people in the capital help them.

Therefore, only when you become stronger can you not be afraid of others' covetousness in the future.

She believed that her fourth uncle was a good scholar and would definitely be able to pass the exam to become a scholar or even a scholar in the future. However, this was not enough. She hoped that her family could provide more help.

Qiao Ran's words made several boys feel ashamed.

In the past, the family was poor and it was difficult to support their fourth uncle in school. They never thought that they could also go to school.

They thought they would be like their fathers and grandfathers and would spend their whole lives farming at home. But now that they have the opportunity to study, they want to shrink back. They are not as far-sighted and thoughtful as their eldest sister. They are really ashamed!

"Sister, I listen to you, I'm going to school! I'm not afraid of others laughing at me! I will definitely catch up with others soon, stand out in the future, and let my family live a good life!"

Qiao Dong was the first to express his stance.

Qiao Nan also said quickly: "Sister, I'm not afraid of being laughed at! I will definitely study hard and live up to your expectations."

Qiao Xi didn't speak just now, but now he just nodded solemnly, saying that he would cherish this opportunity, study hard, and let his family live a good life in the future.

Qiao Ran smiled happily: "Okay! Sister believes in you!"

The matter of studying was settled. Qiao Ran thought that next time she saw shopkeeper Chen or housekeeper Zhou, she would make sure to inquire about suitable academies and schools.

It's just that they live in a valley and have to walk a long way out of the mountains. It is quite inconvenient to go to schools in other villages outside the valley or to go to school in the capital.

There are so many children in the village, it would be great if a school could be built in the village.

It's just that these things are just something to think about now. There are a lot of things in the village now, so let's wait until later!

When she went to bed that night, Qiao Ran entered the space again.

Now the village is about to build a new home in the valley, and farming will begin next spring.

She had to go into the space to see how many modern grains could be sown.

Ancient grain seeds are not as high-yielding and disease-resistant as those improved by later generations. If we use ancient grain seeds to sow seeds, we may not be able to grow much grain despite all the hard work throughout the year.

But if modern grains were grown in ancient times, wouldn’t the yield increase several times?

Qiao Ran went directly to the basement and took stock of the modern grains stored here.

Along the way, all she took out were shelled rice and noodles, but there were still many rice, peanuts, soybeans, corn, wheat, etc. that had not been shelled or ground into flour.

These were originally used for food, but now they are used as grain seeds, which are many times better than the ancient grain seeds.

She also found several packages of unused vegetable seeds on a shelf in the basement.

Not to mention common vegetable seeds such as radish and cabbage, there are also improved versions or vegetables found in later generations such as cucumber, zucchini, coriander, lettuce, and tomatoes.

In addition, peppers, luffa gourds, bitter gourds, beans, carrots, etc. are also grown in the yard and on the dry land on the hillside outside, and you can keep your own seeds.

Think about it, there are so many grains and vegetables that were not available in ancient times or of low quality, coupled with the fertile land in Devil's Valley, and the modern agricultural knowledge that you have, you will definitely lead the whole village to this amazing place. A rich harvest scene was created in the discolored Devil's Valley.

Taking advantage of the fact that there is no need to pay taxes in the past two years, the harvested grains, vegetables, fruits, etc. can be sold to the city in addition to being used at home to accumulate original capital.
