Chapter 435 It's like worshipping an ancestor.
Lin Chang'er paused, thinking to herself, "What a great idea! Why didn't I think of this before?"
In later generations, schools were indeed considered safe havens.
Moreover, although their school is called a primary school, it is not because of its small size, but because it is newly established and its teachers and students are all quite small.
The main problem is that she can't afford to support so many people yet, so she's currently mainly recruiting children from the village.
This is what a primary school should be like, but when she first said she wanted to start a school, the people of Zhou were very supportive.
Later, we also consulted several elderly people, and they all felt that this was a great thing that would benefit future generations.
So they readily approved a large plot of land for her, and when the primary school was being built, every household contributed their labor.
When she settled the wages, she charged each family three days less, as a token of her appreciation to the primary school.
Lin Chang'er doesn't lack the wages for those three days; it's just that if people want to do good deeds with you and you don't accept their wages, you're dampening their enthusiasm.
Therefore, on the memorial stone at the entrance of the primary school, she also noted the contributions made by the entire village to the primary school.
Of course, the villagers are also quite conscious of boundaries.
In other words, he did not criticize the primary school just because he donated his wages for those three days.
After all, the free lunches they ate at the elementary school were worth far more than three days' wages.
Therefore, after the primary school resumed normal classes, no one said a word about it.
Lin Chang'er was in charge of the entire operation of the primary school.
For Lin Chang'er, this was very nice, after all, the educational philosophies of later generations were different from those of this era.
Although she has been trying her best to respect the characteristics of this era, there are many things that are not good that she will never consider compromising on.
For example, regarding the prevailing idea of studying hard during this era, she felt that if one had the means, why suffer the hardship of studying?
They were happy until at least the age of seven.
If you want to listen to the lecture, then listen; if you don't want to listen, then don't cause trouble.
As for what happens after age seven, it depends on the parents' attitude, the child's talent, and their own efforts.
She also disagreed with rote learning.
So, even children in elementary schools learn martial arts.
Several teachers take turns teaching, with no strict tasks. The younger ones play along, while the older ones now learn diligently and on their own initiative.
That seems a bit too far ahead.
However, Li Ge'er's suggestion is indeed correct.
The small canteen in the primary school always had a stock of food.
In fact, the primary school can also lend its venue for any happy events in the village in the future.
The small canteen can also host wedding banquets.
Lin Chang'er's lips curled up into a wide smile; she really was a little genius.
Seeing that she didn't say anything, Zhou Li thought that he had said something wrong again, so he quickly changed his words and said, "Sister-in-law, I was just talking nonsense. If it doesn't work, don't take it to heart."
Lin Chang'er waved her hand, "No, no, I just considered the feasibility."
"What does your sister-in-law think?"
Lin Chang'er said, "I think it's feasible. When the aunts, sisters-in-law, and grandmothers go to the primary school to avoid disaster, they can also cook delicious food for the men."
"Once they come down from the battlefield, they will be able to have a hot meal."
"Very good."
In this way, aside from anything else, they will definitely be able to save a lot of firewood.
Zhou Li laughed heartily, "Sister-in-law, you've thought of everything. I'm just afraid that we uncles and elders are used to the cooking of eldest sister-in-law and third sister-in-law. We won't like the food cooked by other sisters-in-law and aunts."
Lin Chang'er waved her hand, "That won't do, you have to change your picky eating habits."
He smiled and said to Zhou Li, "I'll talk to your father about it another day and then let him know."
Zhou Li could tell that she was serious and wasn't just going through the motions.
"Really?" He became incredibly excited.
The first time he gave his sister-in-law a suggestion, it was adopted. Now he feels very strong, frighteningly strong.
His father will definitely praise him later; it seems he has the potential to succeed as the village head, considering how considerate he is of everyone.
Zhou Li was secretly delighted.
Suddenly, they heard a noise coming from the main road at the village entrance. It sounded like a large group of people were heading their way.
Lin Chang'er frowned, thinking to herself, "Could it be that these bandits have accomplices who have come to their rescue?"
Yes, these people said they came to scout the location first.
Is this just normal procedure, where you scout out the location before officially starting the operation?
The reconnaissance team didn't even go back; those who followed them overnight are truly hard to fathom.
Lin Chang'er shoved the raindrops into Lin Beishan's arms and said, "Hold on tight. If you try anything funny, I'll beat you up like a pig."
Lin Beishan didn't dare to say a word, cradling Yudian in his arms as if she were an ancestor.
Lin Chang'er put the child down and strode towards the main road at the village entrance. Wu Qingfeng saw this too, so he and He Fei left the crowd and headed in that direction.
Both of them were tall and had long legs, and they quickly met up with Lin Chang'er.
"Could it be backup?" Lin Chang'er asked.
Wu Qingfeng frowned. "Logically, this shouldn't be the case."
He Fei agreed, "I just asked, and this team just scouted the location. But a scouting team of more than twenty people is indeed quite a large-scale operation."
Lin Chang'er nodded in agreement.
Wu Qingfeng laughed and said, "Strange things happen every year. Maybe a rather peculiar leader has emerged?"
Lin Chang'er didn't refute, only saying, "That makes sense. Did you find out anything else?"
He Fei laughed and said, "The villagers all wish they could skin these people alive, even though Lord Wu made it clear that this person definitely cannot be killed."
"Speaking of which, it's quite a coincidence. If our Lord Wu hadn't come today, you would have had the final say on how to deal with these bandits."
"But coincidentally, we've run into this situation again, so we certainly can't let everyone do as they please. Although our Lord Wu is also fiercely opposed to evil, being fiercely opposed to evil doesn't mean taking lives lightly. There are procedures to follow when sentencing someone to beheading, right?"
"Otherwise, it would be difficult for Lord Wu to explain to his superiors, wouldn't it, Lord Wu?"
He addressed him as "Lord Wu" repeatedly.
Wu Qingfeng laughed and said, "Actually, Lord He isn't without options. For example, before Chang'er and I arrive, he could strike first and kill a few of them."
"If I'm not there, I really won't be responsible for any injuries or fatalities on site."
"However, since you all held back at the beginning, now you naturally have to follow the procedures."
"Besides..."
He glanced in Lin Chang'er's direction and continued, "These people all look young and strong. They might have been forced to come up the mountain. Keeping them alive might be more useful than killing them."
"Lord He must have heard from two of them that this is his first time working outside, right?"
Lin Chang'er was listening to the two of them teasing each other when Wu Qingfeng suddenly looked over. She was a little confused, but when she heard him say that it would be more useful to keep it, she suddenly realized something.
"Tsk tsk, does Lord Wu perhaps intend to keep these people here to do hard labor?"
Wu Qingfeng chuckled, "I hope that Master Lin will give me face and accept these people so that they can earn their share of the head tax here."
