Chapter 440: Education Planning
The maximum load of a general medium-sized helicopter is actually around seven tons, but for these professional general aviation companies, reaching the maximum load will cause considerable damage to the aircraft, which is quite uneconomical!
This is like the human body. A person can run 100 meters in 12 seconds at the fastest, but if you ask him to run 1,000 meters at this speed, how much load will it have? No one can calculate it, so under normal circumstances, helicopters will not reach the maximum load, so transporting three or four tons of food at a time is already the limit.
Perhaps for Li Yi, flying is nothing special, but for the villagers of Tongxiang Village, it is not easy to observe this big guy up close.
After the plane landed on the open space, the village chief organized everyone to move the food forward. The first is rice and wheat. Rice is extremely rich in supplementing human nutrition and is indispensable. The most important thing here, in addition to food, is salt!
Salt is something that villagers are in short supply now. For this, Li Yi almost looted all the supermarkets in Jinyuan City!
After learning that there was still a lot of salt this time, the village chief did not say anything on the surface, but he did not know how to express his gratitude in his heart.
The reason is very simple. Before they knew it, they owed Li Yi more and more, and he was saving their lives at all costs. It was a bit frivolous to express such a relationship with thank you.
The village chief had learned some knowledge from the teacher who came to the village, that is, the teacher in the village, so he was considered the most educated person in the whole village. He knew that there was a principle of repaying kindness since ancient times, but in this situation, their village did not even solve the problem of food and clothing. What could they use to repay Li Yi?
...
As time passed, the granaries in the village were filled one after another. Li Yi only cared about how to transport the grain. As for how to divide the grain, Li Yi did not intend to intervene.
After all, there are more than a thousand households. If there are too many or too few, the villagers will always feel uncomfortable. It's just a simple good deed. Li Yi doesn't want to encounter such a muddled account of gratitude and resentment.
After two days of going back and forth, all the grains were finally transported, and there were also a few piglets, which was a pleasant surprise. These dozen piglets were carefully selected by Li Yi. Since the business of the nearby breeding farms was not so prosperous, he could only buy a dozen of good varieties.
If these dozen piglets are well taken care of, they may be of great use, but there is only so much that can be done.
After the last batch of grain was delivered, the village chief said that he would hold Li Yi and keep him for a meal. Even the two pilots Xiao Wei and Zeng Xishun were also very warmly entertained by the villagers of Tongxiang Village. This made Li Yi feel very strange. After all, the villagers of Tongxiang Village were all fierce to outsiders before.
It is not necessarily true that there are unruly people in the small mountain village. In fact, there are still many good people.
After finishing the meal, Li Yi talked about school with the village chief.
"Village chief, I know you have a kind of resistance to the outside world, but you can't shut yourself off like this for generations!"
"This time, you met me, but what about next time? What if your descendants encounter difficulties similar to today? Will there be another me to help you?"
The village chief nodded slowly. What Li Yi said made sense, and it was indeed true. If there was no Li Yi this time, how many people would die in the famine in the village? He was a bit too incompetent as the village chief! No matter from which aspect, Li Yi and the mayor who came before all wanted to do something for them sincerely.
The ancestral precepts handed down in the village told them that they could not leave the mountains, leave the valleys, and could not contact the outside world. The outside world was very dangerous!
But according to the current situation, if the village is completely separated from the outside world, it will not survive!
It's time to make some changes! Even ancestral precepts are sometimes inappropriate!
Li Yi seemed to have noticed the change in the village chief's mind, so he continued to strike while the iron was hot:
"I found a person in Jinyuan City who can help you solve the problem of teachers and teaching materials. Village chief, I think if you want to change, now is a good opportunity! Children need to learn to read and read, so that they will have the opportunity to go out and go outside the mountains in the future!"
The village chief sighed slowly. It seems that it is really time to make some changes. Tongxiang Village can only become truly strong by relying on its own strength!
With this thought, the village chief looked at Li Yi with a serious face and said in a deep voice:
"Boss Li, I'll leave the school to you! I will let all the children and young people in the village actively learn to read and read!"
After Li Yi got a clear answer, he was relieved. Fortunately, the village chief was not so stubborn. In addition, he used more than 30,000 kilograms of food supplies as a stepping stone to knock on the door of Tongxiang Village that had been closed for decades. Finally, the children in Tongxiang Village can read and write like the children outside!
Doing good things is a very tiring thing, and doing good things well is even more difficult, but Li Yi feels quite happy in it.
Before it got dark, Li Yi took a helicopter to leave Tongxiang Village. The next time he came, he would have to walk the mountain road again to bring a few teachers. This time, Li Yi brought all the textbooks. Li Datang, also known as Li Tang, was also very straightforward. After Li Yi funded Minli Primary School, Li Tang happily distributed hundreds of textbooks to Li Yi.
These textbooks were not easy to come by. Li Tang went to many schools and used many backdoors to get them. They were all the latest revised editions. They were not brand new, but they were almost the same.
At the same time, Li Yi also bought some stationery, school bags and other school supplies. There were many tables, chairs and benches in the village. There were carpenters in the village, so it was no problem to make some. As for the location of the school, the village chief gave up the village's ancestral hall, which was the largest wooden house in the village. It could accommodate more than 100 people at the same time, and it was perfect as a classroom.
The only thing missing is teachers, and this requires Li Tang to gather everyone. Although Li Yi promised a generous salary, not everyone wants to teach in the mountains, so it will take some time to gather people.
