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, let us take care of building the school and hiring a teacher."
"Oh, it doesn't matter what I say about my family. I'll go back and discuss it with Da Da." Lu Zilin didn't agree immediately, but waved his hand and said.
Building a school requires money, and asking a gentleman also requires money, which is not a small amount. He really didn't want to pay the money.
After that, he ignored Bai Jiaxuan's persuasion, got up and left.
"Uncle Jiaxuan, it doesn't matter, if Uncle Zilin doesn't get involved, he won't get involved." Xiang Nan smiled, "We can't delay the child's affairs, why don't we do it first?"
"Yes, that's fine." Bai Jiaxuan nodded.
He actually planned to run a school a few years ago. At first, I thought about building a ancestral hall and running a school at the same time. In this way, the ancestors and future generations will remember Bai Jiaxuan.
But then he was only busy making money, and he forgot about building ancestral halls and running schools. Now that the ancestral hall has been built, he plans to start the school again.
At that time, his name will also be tied to the ancestral hall and the school, and will be famous forever.
Afterwards, Bai Jiaxuan and Xiang Nan started planning.
…
And while the two of them were thinking about setting up a school, there was still a villain secretly eager to move.
One night, Bai Jiaxuan was about to go to bed.
The lame man from Dayeng came to report, and a few more people entered the little widow's house.
It turned out that there was a little widow in Bailu Village. Her husband had just died for half a year and she had been keeping festivals.
Upon hearing this, Bai Jiaxuan knew that they were going to gamble again, so he immediately followed the lame master.
As a result, when the door was kicked open, the little widow was alone in the little widow's room. When he came in, she was startled and shivering, and there was no trace of anyone else at all.
Bai Jiaxuan knew he had been fooled.
He let the lame man continue to watch the night, and then walked home angrily.
As soon as he reached the corner, a gust of wind suddenly struck from behind, and Bai Jiaxuan was immediately knocked to the ground.
His eyes darkened, and he passed out.
It was only when it was dawn that someone discovered it and was helped back home.
After Xiang Nan went to see it, there was no serious injury, except that he twisted his neck.
He then pressed Bai Jiaxuan a few times to straighten his neck.
"Uncle Jiaxuan, who is so ruthless to commit such a black hand?" Xiang Nan asked.
"It's just that we won't let you grow cigarettes. Gou Ri will take revenge on me." Bai Jiaxuan gritted his teeth.
"I've said it earlier, let's not do this patriarch. You see, someone is behind the scenes." Bai Zhao said distressedly.
Wu Xiancao looked at Bai Jiaxuan with worry in his eyes.
"Ma Liuer, take your javelin to the academy and see if my brother-in-law and sister are okay?" Bai Jiaxuan instructed again.
Smoking ban was done by him and Mr. Zhu together. He was beaten with a sap, so he worried that his brother-in-law would be retaliated against.
…
At this moment, Lord Lame came in with a bad smell all over his body, "Patriarch, I quit the job of watching the night. Last night, I was also beaten.
They covered my head and asked me if I would dare to inform you, and if I dared to follow you to arrest gambling and ban smoking. Then they threw me into the pigsty. "
"Okay, I see. Lame Lord, you go back first, and I will take care of your affairs later." Bai Jiaxuan nodded and said.
"Immortal Grass, send the lame master off, and go through the back door." Bai Zhao reminded.
Wu Xiancao nodded.
"Uncle Jiaxuan, if you're okay, I'll leave." Xiang Nan said.
"I'm fine." Bai Jiaxuan shook his head, "Hei Wa, you're really good at crafting. Just press it a few times, and my neck won't hurt anymore."
"Yeah, but it's better to keep it up, and you have to be careful in the future." Xiang Nan reminded, "Uncle Jiaxuan, you banned gambling and smoking, which is to set up your prestige. No one in the village dares to object you.
But if you cut off everyone's money, they will hate you secretly. At this time, you should show some kindness and let the common people see the benefits. Otherwise, such things will be unavoidable in the future. "
Bai Jiaxuan was beaten this time because he cut off everyone's money, and the villagers resented him. Although he didn't dare to touch him publicly, it was inevitable to play tricks in private.
And the so-called two fists are hard to defeat four hands, a hero can't hold back a lot 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 upon hearing this.
…
After that, Bai Jiaxuan went to find his brother-in-law.
Mr. Zhu also told him that he should repay grievances with kindness, and told him the story of Emperor Shun being framed by his family several times, but he did not hold grudges, but repaid grievances with kindness, and finally influenced his family, Hehe Meimei.
"Brother-in-law, your idea is almost the same as what Hei Wa said." Bai Jiaxuan said.
"What did Hei Wa say?" Mr. Zhu asked curiously.
"Heiwa said to 'give kindness and power', he said that my power was established, but kindness was not done. So everyone is afraid of me on the surface, but they hate me in private." Bai Jiaxuan explained, "So he asked me to show kindness , let the people see the benefits, otherwise someone will harm me."
"Heiwa is smart." Mr. Zhu nodded after listening.
Although he didn't like Xiang Nan's way of acting strangely, he did admire his intelligence and wisdom.
"Since you and he said so, then I will do so." Bai Jiaxuan said, and then he began to show kindness.
He called a few people in the village who lacked land, and rented out his land to them at a low price; he also sent food to some households who could not get rid of the pot; he also lent cattle to some households who were short of labor...
In addition, he went into the city and brought back Shitou's daughter-in-law and son who had gone out to beg for food.
It turned out that Shitouer not only played with money but also smoked, and used up all the savings of his family. In the end, he had nothing in the house, and he couldn't even afford food. Therefore, Shitou's daughter-in-law had no choice but to take the child to the county town and beg along the street.
…
In addition, he is also going to invite the whole village to have a meal, and by the way, he will talk to everyone about the repair of the free warehouse and the opening of the school.
There used to be a White Deer Warehouse on Bailuyuan, a warehouse set up by the Qing government. In the wilderness three miles west of the town, grain was stored in good years and relief was given to the people in bad years.
After the Qing court collapsed, the Bailucang naturally had no one to manage it. It has been deserted for so many years, and it is about to collapse.
But Bai Jiaxuan felt that it was still necessary to reset the Bailu warehouse.
Set up a free warehouse, let the wealthy households in the village donate some food, and relieve the poor villagers in the village. This is also the welfare he strives for for the villagers. And store more food in good years, so as to help the folks in bad years.
Bailuyuan has suffered from drought and pests many times, so it is good to have a reserve of grain.
