Chapter 1: Educating the foolish
The sky is still the same sky, but it is just bluer than I remember and the air is fresher.
The land is still the same, with a handful of loess and mud, but there is less luxury and impetuousness in the soil.
It was June and midsummer, and the scorching sun was as diligent as ever, unwilling to be late or leave early.
There is a hint of earthy smell in the dry and hot air, which does not have the heat waves like steamers on the asphalt roads like later generations, but at this time, it is still not so good to go out.
Qinhe Village, originally named Lihe Village, was moved out in large numbers due to the turmoil at the end of the Sui Dynasty, and many people died of unlimited deaths. Lihe Village has become an empty village.
When the Tang Dynasty was founded, a group of Qin and Mu surnames migrated from elsewhere came to Lijia Village, about 30 miles east of the eastern capital Luozhou (Luoyang), and changed its name to Qinhe Village.
The village was filled with thick greenness. Under the big trees beside the valley farm at the entrance of the village, a group of men, women, young and old sat around, holding gray ceramic bowls in their hands, and a few wooden barrels were placed in the center of the crowd, filled with clear water.
Under the big tree where the two of them hugged each other in front of the crowd, a boy who looked like sixteen or seventeen was standing there talking in a state of mind. It was not an ordinary villagers' meeting, but... telling stories!
"Okay! Dalang said so well!"
"I didn't expect that Liu Bei, a descendant of the royal family, was so dirty. General Zhao Yun was loyal...what is that?"
"That's called loyal Chihei and Muheizi. If you don't have a good brain, don't learn from other people's Dalang."
"Who, Goro, he is loyal, not red-haired..." The young man corrected with a dark face. These villagers were really hard to educate. The story was very pleasant, but basically he just went in and out of the left ear and went out of the right ear, and he couldn't even learn the sentence.
This young man was not someone else, but from a talented student who graduated from a pheasant university in the 21st century. An accident brought him to the early years of the Tang Dynasty.
The boy's original name was Qin Chao. When he traveled through time, the boy was already dying and was later rescued by the villagers of Qinhe Village. The villagers just had their own meals, and Qin Chao recovered quickly.
At the same time, Qin Chao's sequelae also came, and suddenly there was a bird system in his mind. The first task the system issued to Qin Chao was to educate the foolish people.
Then, no matter how Qin Chao called, he never saw even one side of the system again.
After contacting, Qin Chao found that the people here didn't seem so stupid, but they were all very smart. He called him a fool? Have you ever seen a farmer who didn't even know a big word, and even went to the eastern capital Luozhou (Luoyang), who was a fool who came from a pheasant university student in the 21st century?
Fortunately, the first task is to educate the villagers of the village. The reward after completing the task is...
It is reputation, something that cannot be eaten or drunk, but it is real. In the era of later generations, it was not easy to gather some reputation, but in this era, reputation can be eaten as a food, and at a critical moment, or even save lives.
Brazil was known as the kingdom of football in later generations, and the chaos in public security was far beyond ordinary people's imagination. However, in Brazil, a football player can be respected. If he is a superstar, even a criminal with great sin will be respectful after seeing it.
A person with high reputation was like a football superstar in later generations in Brazil in ancient China.
Since there is a reward for completing tasks, there should naturally be a punishment for failure, and the punishment for failure is killing.
Although he doesn't trust this unreliable system, Qin Chao dared not be careless at all. He has a lot of online novels traveling through the system. What if this is true?
Qin Chao wanted to survive here, but he had no food, no land, no money, no friends. The easiest way was to find a way to gather his reputation, so that the people would also save money and support him. Running a school is undoubtedly the most convenient shortcut.
First show your talents, let the people believe that they have the ability to run schools, and then slowly run schools and trap these people step by step.
Of course, Qin Chao doesn't need the people to support him for long, it only takes one year. At that time, Qin Chao will naturally have endless food to eat.
Qin Chao, as always, took advantage of the slack time of farming, and began his own great education next to the valley at the entrance of the village. The only thing that made Qin Chao feel good was that he neither had to prepare lessons nor had to think about what to say. He was like a hammer and a stick. No matter what he said, the villagers seemed to be very addicted to listening. Didn’t anyone hear that I was bragging?
Also, I am trying to make unfair for Zhao Yunming. You guys are just going to catch Liu Bei and start cursing him.
"Oh, it's getting late, Dalang, let's talk to you later. Now it's time to go to the ground." Old man Mu of the village drank all the water in the bowl in one mouthful, shook the water droplets in the bowl beautifully, wiped the corners of his mouth, and stood up with a smile on his face and said.
Qin Chao looked at Old Man Mu speechlessly, and wanted to say, "Master, isn't it okay now? You are not afraid of heatstroke when you go to the ground in such a hot day?"
Also, can you stop calling me Dalang? Although my surname is not Wu!
But I still did it myself. Now I just want to cry and can’t find a place. After just recovering, the villagers asked Qin Chao’s family who was ranked. As a member of the family planning army, he was of course the leader. Then the title of Dalang came.
Qin Chao thought of resisting, but it was useless. Tang people all called it that way, and it was not something you could change just by wanting it.
"Well, let's talk to you tonight." Qin Chao nodded, with no reason to reject Old Man Mu's proposal. In fact, every day ends at this time. Today, Qin Chao talks about the Three Kingdoms. The plot of the story is ups and downs. The villagers applauded repeatedly, so they forgot about the time. It was already late today compared to the previous few days.
With Qin Chao's words, the villagers sitting around the group also stood up one after another, greeted Qin Chao with a smile, and then took their own bowls and buckets and walked towards the direction of home.
Qin Chao was so moved by the diligence of the ancients that Qin Chao cried bitterly...
Although Qin Chao is not old and alone, and has reached this point as a refugee, after experiencing the initial understanding, Qin Chao's status is now comparable to those old antiques in the village.
Because Qin Chao knows a lot and is literate, he often helps the villagers to relieve their boredom. The stories he tells make people feel very vivid and interesting. He has more humor than the teachers and often makes the people laugh happily.
In addition, Qin Chao also promised to find time to teach children in the village to read, which instantly increased Qin Chao's status in the village.
Although Qin Chao has been looking for various reasons to shirk his words recently, the villagers are still willing to believe Qin Chao's words, believing that Qin Chao can teach their children to read.
Therefore, no matter whether there are children of appropriate age or not in the village, every household agrees to jointly bear Qin Chao's food rations. Anyway, there are fifty-three households in the village, and Qin Chao only has fifty-four households. The whole family manages a day, and it takes about two months to take turns. They can still afford this burden.
"Dalang, how are you thinking about what I said last time?" After the villagers were about to leave, Mr. Mu San came to Qin Chao staggeringly and asked in a low voice.
"Third Master, I am still used to living alone, and one day, I will go and find my parents, so..." Qin Chao politely refused, just kidding, I'm going to let me be your son, is this possible?
Mr. Mu San's original name was Li Chongyou, and he was the third. After the founding of the Tang Dynasty, he changed his surname to Mu. In addition, he took over all the affairs of his family, so he was called Mr. Mu San by the villagers.
"Dalang, this visit to my Mu family will not prevent you from finding your parents in the future. After passing this village, there will be no such store. Third Master hopes that you can think clearly and not wait until you feel regretful in the future." Mr. Mu said with a sneering smile on his face, as if he was threatening.
This Mu Sanye is not a good bird. He has thousands of acres of fertile land, which is considered a wealthy family. However, this Mu Sanye did not buy the land through normal channels, but lend it to the villagers, and then collect the land at a price of less than one-tenth.
Mr. Mu San wanted to take Qin Chao into his subordinates. As an adopted son, he had two main purposes. First, after he settled down, Qin Chao would soon receive twenty acres of Yongye Field and thirty acres of quilt land.
Although you can only divide ten acres of Yongye land and more than ten acres of quintile land here, for Mu Sanye, getting the land is still a profit.
