Chapter 427 Education Foundation

Wang Ci was satisfied with the various sponsorships and systems proposed by Xiong Buyou, but he made it clear that the school's curriculum must be decided by the head of the school, and the Time Travel Group cannot use its own books to teach.Xiong Buyou readily accepted this point.In his opinion, Molixuan Academy has nothing to do with the future education of Time Travel Group - they can talk about whatever they want.For the Time Traveling Group, the reopening of Molixuan Academy is a victory in itself.At least formally, they completed a cooperation with the local intellectuals in Lingao.

From the point of view of ordinary common people, since scholars who are full of benevolence and morality can also accept funding from Australians, why can't they small people.Chinese scholars have always been a role model for society.Their orientation often affects many classes.

Before the opening ceremony was over, a group of ragged children crowded in front of Liu Dalin and Wang Ci, trying their best to express their eager desire to study and improve, which moved them to tears.Instead, Xiong Buyou made a malicious comment on this scene:

"Hmph, I must have come here to make a living."

But that's okay, people who are poor are generally not difficult to get.Xiong Buyou didn't care about their specific enrollment matters. He had already negotiated with Wang Ci that the academy would reserve three places for the Transverse Group—one of which was Zhang Xingjiao.

For the other two, the Time Traveling Group has not yet selected a suitable target. The staff of the Social Work Department in charge of this work believe that it is dangerous to send them back to an academy with traditional values ​​before they have completely brainwashed them— ―There is a danger of being anti-brainwashed.

As for Zhang Xingjiao, because of his hatred, he has completely sat in the same boat with the Transmigration Group, and when he attacked the Gou Family Village, his hands were still stained with the blood of the Gou Family - he can no longer go back, so he can only work with the Transmigration Group with all his heart .

Wang Ci murmured in his heart about letting Zhang Xingjiao come to study, but when he thought that all these were provided by Australians, it was inconvenient to refute, so he agreed

After the ceremony, the people who came to the opening ceremony received a souvenir. The gentry, including several Juren and county officials, was a rattan-shell thermos—this novelty made everyone feel like a treasure.The general Confucian scholars are 50 yuan circulation coupons.The purpose of this paper currency is already familiar to everyone.As for Liu Dalin, he had originally made up his mind not to accept any gift, but the gift presented made him have to accept it.

This is a wheelchair.It was carefully manufactured by the Machinery Factory of the Industrial and Energy Commission. Except that it cannot be folded, it has the same structure as a modern wheelchair.It can be pushed by family members, and he can also turn the rim to move forward.To save weight, steel rims and hubs are used, and local ball bearings are installed on the axles - not very good quality, but they can be used.Ball bearings greatly reduce the frictional resistance of the axle, reducing the force required for rolling.

The only downside is that there is no rubber, and this car is a bit "hard".

This thing can scratch Liu Dalin's itch.There are naturally many servants in the house, but it is still inconvenient to always have two servants to help carry the chair when moving.Now there is such a chair with wheels that can advance and retreat freely, which undoubtedly brings great convenience to his daily life.

Liu Dalin tried to sit for a while, no matter whether he was going forward or back, turning left or right, it was convenient.The bystanders were all amazed.Liu Dalin also admired secretly in his heart: No wonder the Australians are said to be "skilled and good at all kinds of crafts", and they really deserve their reputation.

He can refuse such ingenious things as hot water bottles, this thing is really useful.So I accepted it.Xiong Buyou nodded secretly, this guy Wu Nanhai really has skills.The trick he proposed to give away a special wheelchair really worked!

If you use our wheelchair, you will have to use our wheelchair in the future.The wheelchair needs to be oiled, and the bearings need to be replaced. No one in this plane can help you with these except us.

Unexpectedly, after the wheelchair appeared, it brought business opportunities.A gentry squeezed through the crowd and bowed deeply to Xiong Buyou, who was grinning happily.Startled him.

It was Liu Youren from Calais Liujiazhai who came here.Liujiazhai is the only local big landlord participating in the Tiandihui.He donated the name of a supervisor, he is considered a scholar, and was invited to attend the opening ceremony.For this reason, Liu Youren also changed into a Confucian shirt.But this kind of clothes didn't match a country rich man like him.

It turned out that his purpose was to buy two more wheelchairs.

"The old parents are old, their legs are weakened, and they have difficulty moving. If they can sell two of these wheelchairs, Liu will be very grateful."

When he said this, several gentry also crowded forward, hoping to buy a wheelchair for their elders.Xiong Buyou didn't expect such a business opportunity for this special product.Hurry up and announce that it is temporarily out of stock. Everyone wait a little longer, and there will naturally be supplies in Dongmen City.Everyone was unwilling to let go, and they wanted to place an order for Yinzi on the spot.Xiong Buyou thought that making a few wheelchairs would not have any negative impact on Lingao's industrial system, so he accepted the order, but the money was confiscated-how much it should be sold for is still open to debate.

This unexpected episode successfully concluded the opening ceremony of Molixuan Academy.Everyone is happy.Liu Dalin's family solemnly carried the wheelchair and followed his sedan chair back to the city.The gentry asked their families to carefully hold the hot water bottles, and went home by themselves in sedan chairs. The boys and scholars rushed to the Dongmen Market with circulation coupons to buy. There are many good things here. Those in the Nanbao area do not need it, and the local Nanbao Mining Bureau Service Agency can also use this kind of ticket.

Wang Ci was so excited that he couldn't calm down for a long time. He went around in circles in the yard of Molixuan. He really wanted to write some poems, and he was searching for words and sentences.But Xiong Buyou interrupted his Yaxing - there are other details to discuss with him.

After some negotiations, the two parties agreed to use Lingao's school fields as the capital of the "Lingao Education Foundation", and the specific operation would be in charge of the "Tiandihui" under the Crossing Group.Lingao County School does not collect any form of land rent from Tiandihui, and Tiandihui will not interfere with any form of development and utilization of the school's land.

In return, Tiandihui will be responsible for all the daily operation and maintenance expenses of Lingao County School, Confucian Temple, and Molixuan Academy, as well as various living allowances for scholars and children.At the same time, the grain tax payable by Xuetian was also borne by the "Tiandihui".

In other words, Wang Ci handed over the "permanent tenancy rights" of the school land and the power to collect rent in exchange for the full financial assistance of the county school from Tiandihui.

These funds are all settled in the form of negotiable notes, and are stored in the name of "Lingao Education Foundation" of Delong Grain Bank.As for the foundation, Ye Yuming and Wang Ci, the presidents of the Tiandihui, are the co-chairs.In addition to daily routine expenses, temporary expenses must be agreed by both parties before withdrawal.

After the agreement was reached, Wang Ci felt that the financial problem that had been troubling him was finally resolved, and he no longer needed to worry about financial issues in the future.As for Xuetian, it is still under the name of the county school, but the "permanent tenant" has been given to Tiandihui.

For the Crossing Group, the Council of Agriculture is sure: Xuetian’s income after using scientific farming methods is enough to pay for the regular expenses of the county schools and academies.There will even be a considerable surplus—even if there is no surplus, the Executive Committee feels that it is calculated, at least it will be extremely helpful in attracting the hearts of local intellectuals.

In addition to Molixuan Academy, renovations to the county school and the Confucian Temple were also in full swing, and it didn't take long for these renovation projects to be completed one after another.The subsidy provided by the foundation also made the county school, which had been abandoned for a long time, revive the sound of books.The lin students came back one after another. The foundation not only gave the lin students a monthly subsidy of six buckets of rice, but also asked Wang Ci to list the epiphytics and supernumeraries with difficult family life in the county school. Give six buckets of rice.The thieves who had a bad reputation among the reading population suddenly became "Australians".

Xiong Buyou was very happy after finishing this matter.He took people out of the city and took a public bullock cart from the west gate of the county to Bairen City.A terminus is set up in Bopu and Dongmen City respectively, and the terminus is equipped with a temporary cattle pen and a vehicle repair station.Departs every hour from [-]:[-] am to [-]:[-] pm.There are several stops along the way.A four-wheel cart drawn by two oxen is used. The cart is equipped with seats, upper and lower pedals, and a folding carport for rainy days.For the convenience of local farmers who are used to carrying a lot of items, a luggage rack for hanging rattan baskets and scattered goods is installed on the outside of the carriage.

This kind of ox cart is not only used by traversers, but also used by indigenous people.The ticket price is extremely cheap, and you can take a ride from Bopu to Dongmen City for a penny of circulation coupons.As they built Xuetianzhuang outside the west gate, the bus route was extended to outside the west gate of the county.Add one cent to the fare - two cents and you can take a bus to the county seat.This greatly facilitates the travel of the people along the way.

The highway and bullock-cart bus system have made Lingao people gradually realize what public services are—this kind of official public services that benefit the whole people almost does not exist in traditional Chinese society.It is clear at a glance whether the public services provided by the crossing group and the actions of the Lingao county government are superior or inferior.The timing of the public bullock carts also slowly instilled the concept of precise time into the minds of the common people.

It is a pity that the Time Traveling Group has not yet been able to manufacture clocks and watches, and cannot further instill the modern concept of time into the aborigines.Dr. Zhong Lishi devoted all his energy to developing radios-this is more important than clocks.
