The road of the farmer's fortune and the imperial examination

Chapter 715 No matter how poor you are, you can't be poor in education

This is the case in this dynasty. When you become an official, you have to give back to the clan.Although he didn't help in the study group, but he is not short of money, so there is no need to be so stingy.

"Fifty acres! That's too much, are you really willing to give it to the clan, or you won't come back." Uncle Gu knew that Gu Chengyu had always been generous, and he was affectionate and righteous to the clan.

But he was shocked to be given so many fields all at once.

"Since I have made a decision, how can I go back on my word? That's it. Uncle took the time to talk to the clansmen. The clan studies, please ask uncle to see which place in the village is better, and we will buy it with money. I am not at home. More, try to get the ethnology done before you leave."

Uncle Gu pondered for a while, and then said: "If you really want to do it, it won't take long. It just takes more effort to build the house. I'll call some people from the clan to build the house."

Of course Gu Chengyu wouldn't bother with this, but when Uncle Gu mentioned the house, he interrupted.

"If the family has any difficulties with the money for this house, you can come to me." Now that the family land has been given, Gu Chengyu will not be stingy with the money for building the house.

Compared with a residential house, building an ethnology must be simpler, and the interior layout is even simpler, and it doesn't cost much money.

"That's good! Just withdraw from the family's public account first, and you will have to worry about the matter of the master."

Uncle Gu thought about the money in the family account, and there was about seven or eighty taels left, just build a mud brick house with tiles on the roof.

Gu Chengyu is also settling accounts, because the family's remaining money from the land a few years ago is actually not much.At that time, he only gave the family ten mu of land. Although it was tax-free, there was not much land, and there was little money left.

Later, when he was admitted to Juren, he had 100 acres of land. This year, the family's silver did not exceed [-] taels.

Maybe it’s not enough to build an ethnological house, since it’s going to be built, it’s better to build a bigger one.As for the material, it is naturally a brick building.

It seems that the [-] mu of land is still a little less, and there are many children in the clan, and there will be newborns every two years.There is no contraceptive method here, and it is not uncommon for a couple to have seven or eight children.

The more you spend on studying every year in the future, then when you buy land, let's add a hundred acres to the clan!
It's not that Gu Chengyu is reluctant to part with money and doesn't want to add more to the clan.He was afraid that raising his clansmen would make them more and more greedy.He has never been favored by the clan, on the contrary, he has helped the clan a lot.

Don't say that every family in the clan erected the archway gave money, in fact, the Gu family here has always paid the big money.And after that, Gu Chengyu will send an equal gift in the past, and will never let everyone suffer.

Besides, the benefits brought by the archway are not enjoyed by him alone, and the clan has benefited the most.

If these people's appetites are raised and his help to the clan is taken for granted, there will definitely be a lot of disputes in the future.

After calculating the amount of money, he was afraid that Uncle Gu would not be willing to build a brick house, so he spoke clearly.

"Uncle! The Zunxue's house should use bricks and tiles, not mud bricks. The Zunxue is one of the proofs of the rise of our Gu family, and this time we have to do it openly."

"Ah! That's going to cost a lot of money." Uncle Gu didn't want Gu Chengyu to pay for it all. After all, the family study was learned by the children of the family, and he knew it in his heart.

A few years ago, he did not do the right thing about the grain seeds. It was his own ability to get such good grain seeds for the Changqing family. Why would he ask the Changqing family to exchange grain seeds for the village for free?
That is not old and young money, and the one who lost is his own brother.When he was a new official at the time, he was inevitably a little impetuous and focused on making achievements, which almost hurt the harmony of the two families.

It must be known that his position in Lizheng was obtained by relying on Xiaobao. It is really chilling for him to turn around and plot against his brother as Lizheng.

Later, he worked as a Lizheng for half a year, and he figured it out.It's just that I can't bear to talk about it, but I always remember the care that the third family has taken for me over the years.

Gu Chengyu nodded, "Don't be afraid of spending money, it's all for the sake of the children. As I said, come to me if you don't have enough. Once the family school is established, it can be passed down from generation to generation."

This is the saying in the previous life, no matter how poor you are, you can't have poor education.

Uncle Gu and the others also knew that what Gu Chengyu said was reasonable. Uncle Gu nodded, "If the money in the clan is not enough, I will go to each household in the clan to collect it. Anyway, they will benefit in the future. If it is not enough, I will find you. In case you get used to taking money, everyone in the clan will point at you."

Gu Chengyu was a little surprised when he heard this. He glanced at Uncle Gu, and was a little surprised by Uncle Gu's obvious change.

But in the end, he didn't say anything more about this matter. As the patriarch, he had to be fair, otherwise he might not be able to convince the public.

"Then Uncle Lao is going to worry about it. You have to help Uncle Gu in organizing the banquet." Such Uncle Gu is dedicated to the sake of the clan, and deserves Gu Chengyu's respect.

"Cough! Xiaobao, where do you think your second uncle and second aunt live? Why don't you clean up the side room next to it?"

Seeing that the two of them had finished discussing their business, Old Gu raised the question of which room Gu Changbai should live in.

To be honest, the ear house next to it is not big, and it doesn't seem crowded for two people to live in. It's just that they haven't seen each other for so many years, and both of them feel a little strange.

He was not used to living together immediately.

Gu Chengyu thought for a while, but there is a guest room in the front yard, but it is obviously inappropriate for two people to live there, and the villagers who come and go will have opinions on this matter if they know about it.

The front yard is occupied by male guests who have a normal relationship with the host's family or a single one. They also have their second aunt Liu Shi, so they can't live here, so as not to make people gossip behind their backs.

The ear room is definitely not good, the whole family is uncomfortable living so close together, and it is not convenient for him to talk to his parents.Even if the walls can be soundproofed, if Gu Changbai and the others have no rules and enter and leave the main room at will, it would be disgusting to death.

Gu Changbai glanced at the silent Gu Chengyu and the third younger brother who showed a bit of embarrassment on his face, his heart sank slightly. Could it be that he is not welcome to live in?
Gu Chengyu may have some opinions on him. After all, the two of them had an unpleasant quarrel because of the eldest granddaughter, but why does the third child think the same way?Do you really look down on his second brother?
Gu Changbai didn't know that Gu Chengyu had already guessed his intentions, and had obtained evidence from Gu Wanfang, so he thought that Gu Chengyu didn't know about his plan.Even if there is suspicion, there is no evidence.

After all, everything was arranged by Yingnan Mansion, and that person even found a child who died of illness as a substitute.He looked at the pus-filled face, even he couldn't see the face clearly.

"Isn't the side room next to it always where the eldest sister's family came back to live? When I hold a banquet this time, the eldest sister should come back."
