Ke Shuisheng nodded his head after listening to his youngest daughter's question: "It's been hard for Dafu this kid these past few months, and he has to work and collect the bills."

"Father, if you have money to collect, what's so hard about it?" Ke Hanchun said: "It's worthwhile to work hard if you have money to collect."

"Hehe, yes, I think it's right to let Dafu collect the bill," Ke Zhongshi also continued: "Have you not noticed Dafu's recent changes?"

Ke Shuisheng was stunned for a while, and then said: "Mother, what you said seems to be true. Dafu has talked a lot recently, and he seems to be more courageous than before."

Ge Yunzhang smiled, walked in and greeted everyone, and then said: "It's not an easy job to collect the bills. Although the folks who rent the ox carts have signed contracts with us, it is inevitable that there will be some difficult ones." Yes, my brother-in-law must have spent a lot of time to collect the bill."

Ke Hanxue also nodded: "People's eloquence is all practiced. My brother-in-law has more contacts and knowledge, and of course his eloquence will become better and better. Maybe he can do something in the future."

Hearing what his sister said, Ke Hanchun couldn't help being angry: "What's wrong with doing something, I'm already very satisfied with the days like this, as long as the family is together and happy."

Ke Hanchun's words expressed the aspirations of Ke Shuisheng and others. They are all out-and-out peasants without any ambitions.

Ge Yunzhang hooked his lips and said, instead of continuing this topic, he suggested to Ke Shuisheng: "Father-in-law, brother-in-law now has to pull the cart again, and has to collect the bill at the beginning of the month. It is indeed hard work to go back and forth from several towns. I think it is better." Rent out this ox cart, and buy a horse-drawn carriage for the family. The horse-drawn carriage will travel faster, and it will save a lot of time when my brother-in-law collects the bill at the beginning of the month, and it is also convenient for my family when they need to use the carriage."

"That's a good idea!" Ke Hanxue also agreed with Ge Yunzhang's idea.

Although the ox cart is also a means of transportation, it is still too slow when there is an emergency, and the horse cart can meet unexpected needs; another thing is to rent out the ox cart, and Kong Dafu can usually help out at home, so that parents can relax Do not worry, Ke Hanxue is also relieved.

After hearing Ge Yunzhang's proposal, Ke Shuisheng said without hesitation: "It's not impossible to buy a carriage, but Dafu and I don't know how to drive a carriage."

His family is not short of money. Ke Shuisheng saw that Tongsuo's family was struggling. In fact, he had long been interested in giving up Kong Dafu's ox cart to Tongsuo to make money. Dafu had nothing else to do, so Ke Shuisheng never said what he wanted. Now when he heard Ge Yunzhang's proposal to buy a carriage, he of course agreed.

It's just that driving a horse-drawn cart is no better than an ox cart, so I'm afraid it's not easy to learn.

"Father-in-law, I'll teach my brother-in-law how to ride a horse. It's not hard to learn as long as you are willing." Ge Yunzhang said with a smile.

"Isn't it difficult to learn to ride a horse?" Ke Shuisheng looked at Ge Yunzhang. The horse ran so fast, did he think it was difficult to learn?

"Father-in-law, it's not difficult to learn. Besides, my brother-in-law will drive a carriage in the future, so nothing will happen." Ge Yunzhang said.

"In this case, let's buy a carriage." Ke Shuisheng made a decision.

"Father, that brother-in-law's bullock cart..."

"Give the copper lock!"

Before Ke Hanxue finished speaking, Ke Shuisheng took up the conversation.

Ke Hanxue giggled: "Father, you have thought about it a long time ago!"

Ke Zhongshi sighed, and said: "Tongsuo's family can live a prosperous life, but his uncle's family has accidents one after another, no matter how wealthy the family is, they can't bear it."

"No."

Speaking of the Tongsuo family, Ke Mengshi also shook his head.

While drinking crude tea, Ge Yunzhang listened to the Ke family chatting sympathetically about the Tongsuo family, with a satisfied smile on his lips. Only the short life of this kind of parents can make people feel truly peaceful...

The next day, Ge Yunzhang went to the town to buy a carriage for the Ke family, and asked around where there was a master to invite.

This carriage is easy to buy as long as you have money, but it is not easy to get a master in a short while.

There is a master, but when he heard that he was going to a private school in the country to enlighten the children, he immediately retreated.

These masters also have their own plans. If they can become masters in a larger private school, not only will their wages be stable, but they may also be able to teach one or two scholars and champions. In this way, they will also become famous.

Otherwise, if you become a master in a rich family, if you can teach the young masters and young ladies of the rich family well, you can get a lot of rewards.

But going to the countryside to enlighten children, not only will you lose fame and fortune, but it also means living a miserable life. Who would want to?

Therefore, Ge Yunzhang has been searching for several days, but he has not found anyone who is willing to be a teacher in Shuihe Village.

On this day, Ge Yunzhang met another master, but got the same reply, so he had to go back to the restaurant disappointed.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he returned to the restaurant, the manager of the restaurant told him that a middle-aged man was looking for him.

The new shopkeeper, surnamed Ling, was found by shopkeeper Nie before he left. He used to be the shopkeeper in a tavern in Lin County. The restaurant came to help.

"Where is the person?" Ge Yunzhang asked.

"In the T-shaped room on the second floor."

Ge Yunzhang nodded and went up to the second floor.

As soon as he entered the T-shaped room, a man in his thirties and 40s who was dressed in coarse cloth in the private room hurriedly stood up, looked at Ge Yunzhang, and asked tentatively, "You... are you Mr. Ge?"

Although this man was wearing common clothes, his expression was neither humble nor overbearing, and there was a hint of anxiety between his brows.

"Ge Yunzhang, may I ask who you are?" Ge Yunzhang walked over, raised his hand, and motioned for him to sit down.

"Mr. Ge, my surname is Ling, my first name is Qinxian, and my courtesy name is Zhaoming. I am from the Northeast. A few months ago, there was a famine in our hometown, so our family of four fled here all the way." Ling Qinxian introduced himself first, and then looked at Ge Yunzhang , paused and continued: "Mr. Ge, before the famine in my hometown, I was originally an enlightenment for the children in the village. I heard on the street yesterday that Mr. Ge was looking for Mr. Enlightenment, so... So I came here to recommend myself, but I wonder if Mr. Ge will give me this chance?"

"So, you used to be a wife?" Ge Yunzhang was overjoyed, but kept his face on the surface, and continued to inquire about his life experience.

"It's not a teacher, it's a simple enlightenment. In the countryside, few parents are really willing to let their children study." Ling Qinxian said with a wry smile.

Ge Yunzhang nodded, this Thaksin, isn't that the case in Shuihe Village.

"Master Ling, I wonder who else is in your family?" Ge Yunzhang asked again.
