After the two elders understood why they could afford to take in 200 people in just one year, Zhou Luxuewen said: "If you take in so many orphans, what should you do in the future?"
"I also need two elders and Taiqing Palace to help," Zhao Zhenzhong continued, "I want to start a charity school next year to teach orphans to read and read. At least I can be able to read and write, learn farmland farming, and make a living when I grow up."
"Start a charity school?" The two elders became more and more curious. Zhao Shanchu asked, "What do you want to do?"
"I want to take in some orphans first. The world is difficult. I can save one or another. I will do my best. Then I will teach those who are over 7 years old to recognize words. I can also take in children from nearby villages to study." Zhao Zhenzhong continued, "This requires a relatively stable place. We want to discuss with the two elders whether we can lend us a place and build a few houses to school buildings when the weather is warm next year?"
"Where do you want to build it?"
"If possible, I want to build it on the south side of Nanyao Village near our current residence. It does not occupy arable land and does not destroy the mountains and forests as much as possible." Zhao Zhenzhong expressed his intention.
"The Nanyao is located several sides by the sea, which is inconvenient to the land. There is even a wasteland on the south side of Nanyao Village. Are you sure you want to choose Nanyao?" Zhou Luxuewen said.
"Nanyao can be said to be surrounded by the sea and has inconvenient transportation, but this also reduces the possibility of children being disturbed during study. Moreover, it is close to where we live now, and is located in the middle of several surrounding villages, which is also conducive to the children in the surrounding villages to go to school. As for now, it is wasteland, we will build it." Zhao Zhenzhong said with a smile.
"If you choose not to occupy arable land or destroy the mountains and forests, there should be no problem with other elders in the palace discussing it." Zhao Shanchu said.
Zhao Zhenzhong wanted to start a charity school, not only because of the orphans he took in, but also because of the children in the surrounding villages.
After the epidemic ended some time ago, people from several villages near Zhao Zhenzhong and others were extremely grateful to Li Laodao, Zhao Zhenzhong and others. In addition, Laodao usually treats people in these villages for free, and Zhao Zhenzhong and others have become more and more harmonious with the people around them. Some rescued villagers brought local special products to Zhao Zhenzhong and others to express their gratitude, and when they saw Li Laodao and others teaching more than 30 children over 7 years old to read and read, some villagers wanted to send their children to their children as well.
Come and learn. However, Zhao Zhenzhong considered that the autumn and winter seasons would be coming, and everyone would be busy with the autumn harvest. In addition, the stone caves and nearby huts were limited, so he asked Li Laodao to explain the situation to the villagers, and said that if the houses could be built in the year and the space was sufficient, he would tell everyone to send their children to study together. After listening to Li Laodao's explanation, the villagers who had children could only calm down for a while, but they all said that they would come to help when building houses.
After listening to Zhao Zhenzhong's explanation of the past and after things, Zhou Luxue said: "Handing orphans and starting a charity school are all righteous acts of doing good and accumulating virtue. Taiqing Palace is also a supporter. It is just that some things need to be discussed with others in the palace."
"The two things are about taking in orphans and starting a Yixue School. Although there is no need for any expenses in Taiqing Palace, there is still trouble going to the palace." Zhao Zhenzhong continued to express his purpose: "We want to sign a land lease agreement with Taiqing Palace. The agreement is divided into two parts, part of which is about our current residence and the cultivation of land; part of which is about the land in Nanyao used to build Yixue School and some possible future functions."
"Because we can support the current population consumption and the possible expansion in the future, we can only try our best to increase the output on the existing cultivated and cultivated land, and cannot meet the natural requirements of the palace for land supply. However, every year, we can convert the rent we should pay into money and goods at the price at that time to the palace for supply."
"In Nanyao, we want to rent wasteland to establish Yixue. Of course, if possible, we also want to do some business there in the future. After all, some of the consumption of hundreds of people cannot be solved by the supply of those dozens of acres of land alone."
"As for the land rental periods of these two places, I think it is temporarily limited to 15 years. After all, after 15 years, these current orphans will basically become adults and can solve their own living problems."
"Are you all these come up with?" After hearing this explanation, the two elders were very surprised and Zhao Shanchu asked.
"I mentioned some ideas and we will discuss them together." Zhao Zhenzhong doesn't want to be too concerned now.
"Where do teachers come from when you are talking about Yixue?" Zhou Luxue asked a question.
"Now we are just teaching basic literacy and mathematics, so there is no need to hire a teacher outside. My master, senior brother and others are competent. As for a few years, I think we should be able to hire a teacher to teach at that time." Zhao Zhenzhong sighed and added, "The expenses we can reduce are now as much as possible."
"We will discuss with the others in the palace later. If there is no problem, we will decide according to the wishes of Zhao Xiaozi. If Yixue can really be opened in Nanyao, then the Taoist in Juxian Palace nearby can help and teach children to read." Zhou Luxue sighed and continued, "You can wait here for a while. I will discuss with Shanchu with me."
After the two elders left, Zhou Luxue seemed to have been thinking about it. Zhao Shanchu asked, "Uncle Master, is there anything wrong?"
"Those children are really extraordinary and can't see through them, especially that boy Zhao." Zhou Luxue shook his head and said, "I told you before that foreign tribes will invade the land of China in the future, and soldiers will rise up everywhere, wars will fill the ground, and blood will spread everywhere. Boy Zhao will make an appointment to rent a land in the palace for fifteen years, and fifteen years later is the sign that this catastrophe will be fully exploded."
"Uncle Master said he could understand the secret of heaven in advance?" Zhao Shanchu was shocked.
"From what he said, I see that it may not be clear about the secret of heaven, but it still has it." Zhou Luxue continued, "'The sea is turbulent, the secret of heaven changes, the purple qi comes from the east, and Taiqing is destined to be'... I am more and more impressed by my senior brother, and I can actually understand the changes in heaven in advance and get a glimmer of vitality."
"Well. Since I can meet this opportunity in Taiqing Palace, there is no reason to let it go. Let's try our best to help Zhao and others and build more incense and affection for the palace." Old Dao Zhou no longer hesitated.
"Uncle Master, I have an idea..." Then, Zhao Shanchu whispered to Zhou Luxue.
Half a day later, the two elders Zhou and Zhao came back.
"Uncle Master, what's the result?" Old Dao Li waited for a long time and asked impatiently.
"Basically, it's done as Zhao Xiaozi said." Zhao Shanchu looked a little embarrassed and continued, "It's just that there are conditions in the palace."
"What conditions?" Old Dao Li was worried about some troubles.
"The palace agreed to rent land to take in orphans and start a charity school. There can be no fees and additional funds. It is just that Zhao Xiaozi needs to agree to a condition." Zhao Shanchu continued, "It is to become a guardian of the Taoist sect of the Taiqing Palace."
"That won't work. If my brother-in-law Lao Zhao becomes a Taoist priest, what will my sister do in the future?" Zhou Hao didn't want Lao Zhao to become a monk. Zhou Tian blushed and kicked Zhou Hao with a blushing face, but didn't say anything. He obviously disagreed. Zhao Zhenzhong was a little surprised: "Two elders, boy, I have no intention of Taoism, and I have too many things to let go, I'm afraid I can't enter the Taoist sect to practice."
Zhou Luxue laughed and explained: "The Taoist guardians may not be a Taoist sect, but also a layman. He does not need to participate in Taoist affairs in normal times, but he only needs to help when Taoist sect is in danger."
"Then if I think there will be danger at that time, the Taoist priests in Taiqing Palace do not agree. How can I calculate if I don't listen to me as a younger generation?" Zhao Zhenzhong raised his own question.
"This probably won't be..." Zhao Shanchu just felt that making Zhao Zhenzhong become a Taoist guardian would be helpful to the Taiqing Palace in the future in the disaster, but obviously did not expect that the people in the palace would listen to this little guardian at that time.
"If this is true, you can exercise the authority of the elder of the supervisor." Zhou Luxue said on the side: "If you agree to be the guardian of the Taoist sect of the Taiqing Palace, we will grant you the authority of the elder of the supervisor after the negotiations. At that time, you can be dissatisfied with this bullet."
"If Taiqing Palace is really in danger, I will do my best to help. But if everyone in Taiqing Palace does not obey the arrangements, I will no longer assume this guardian status." Zhao Zhenzhong put forward his own conditions.
The two elders thought for a while and agreed to Zhao Zhenzhong's request.
Next, the Taiqing Palace chose a zodiac auspicious day in late October and signed a land lease agreement with Zhao Zhenzhong. At the same time, it also established a document to recognize Zhao Zhenzhong's identity as a Taoist guardian, and announced the Taoist temples and temples in the Taiqing Palace and nearby areas.
Starting from November, Li Laodao and others started to be busy again. While asking for help to build twelve adobe thatched houses near the stone cave, they began to prepare stones, sand, lime, wood and other construction materials. Fortunately, they would be transported to the south of the Nan Kiln after the spring next year to select ground to build a school building. Taiqing Palace also came forward to help and discussed the amount they had pledged to each of them. Fortunately, after the Yixue School was opened, the money was paid to help the children with pens, ink, paper and inkstone.
Before the winter arrived, Zhao Zhenzhong and others in the mountains had prepared the cost of this winter. Unlike last winter when everyone was worried about the situation in the coming year, this winter, facing the full warehouse of grain and various harvests, as well as sufficient firewood, Li Laodao and others should be more at ease.
