Popular peasant wife: mountain man lacks training

Chapter 470
"You are right in thinking that children need to read and write in the future. People say that reading is sensible. Only by reading more and gaining more knowledge can you earn money to support your family.

We peasants don't know a single word, so we can only work hard for others, and our life is miserable. "

Geng Sang agrees with Fang Huilan's idea very much. As far as Poxia Village is concerned, anyone who is willing to send their children to study can be counted. Except for the village head and a few elders who can barely read a few words, everyone else in the village has two eyes. A smear.

The reason why I thought of letting Lu Qing deliver the goods with the Escort this time is because the teacher who is currently hired has only been here for less than a week, and Lu Qing has little literacy. Qing had a hard time studying.

The working time of the workshop starts at Chen in the morning, ends at Shen in the afternoon, and rests for an hour at noon. The working time is not overly squeezed. After dinner in the evening, candles will be lit for an hour in the dining hall of the big kitchen. Workers can learn to read from teachers here.

Geng Sang asked Uncle Jiang to help him hire the teacher. He is a down-and-out scholar, surnamed Liu, with some talent and learning. The workers in the workshop don't need imperial examinations. Liu Xiucai is still competent in basic reading and arithmetic.

Lu Qing has been following him for a week, and he is very serious and active in learning to read and write every night, but so far he has mastered less than ten characters.

It is precisely because of this that Lu Qing's age has already been placed here. In his previous life, his age was not too old, but now, he is already the head of a family as a husband and father, and it is difficult to concentrate on studying.

Moreover, doing accounts is far more difficult than knowing how to read. Even if you have the opportunity to work as a manager in a branch of the workshop in the future, the salary will only be similar to that of an ordinary manager, and it is impossible to compare with Lu Nanchuan.

Li Yue is the manager of the workshop, his monthly salary is only ten taels of silver, and there will be red envelopes at the end of the year, and his annual salary is only 200 taels of silver.

And following the Escort to pick up the goods, because it is not easy to go out, so their budget for going out is basically 100 taels of silver per person. Lu Qing goes with the Escort several times a year, and the savings on the way far exceed the income of ordinary stewards.

"No, people say that studying is good, but it costs a lot of money, and ten years of hard work may not be able to get a title on the gold list. Our family does not have high requirements, and it is enough to be exempted from the family's land tax by being a scholar.

If one is lucky and can be admitted to a Juren, then the ancestral grave at home is smoking, and maybe one can become a petty official, and life will not have to be so hard in the future.

If you want to send the baby to school, you have to prepare the money early. If you don't let Lu Qing go out to fight, where will the baby get the money to repair, and the pen, ink, paper and inkstone, which is not a big expense. "

As Fang said, she couldn't help but look forward to it, "What can our common people do well in farming? At most, they can be small landlords, but whoever is an official is not a landlord?"

"It's true, anyway, there is no harm in studying more. Lu Qing is willing to endure hardships, and your life will definitely get better in the future."

Geng Sang comforted, "That's fine, I'll tell Huilan about this first, I have a plan in mind, you agree, I'll mention it to Lu Qing when I go back tomorrow, and see what he thinks .

If you disagree with this matter, then I will definitely not talk about it. Although the opportunity is in front of you, it is not easy for you, a pregnant woman, to have a child. You feel uncomfortable when your baby’s father is away. It's over. "
