Seeing Xiang Nan''s support, Bai Jiaxuan was naturally very happy.
"Hei Wa, it has to be you." He said with a smile, and then looked at Lu Zilin, "Zilin, we will take care of the construction of the school and the recruitment of teachers."
"Oh, my words don''t count. I''ll go back and discuss it with me." Lu Zilin did not agree immediately, but waved his hand and said.
It costs money to build a school, and it also costs money to hire a teacher. These are not small sums. He really doesn''t want to pay for it.
?Subsequently, he stood up and left regardless of Bai Jiaxuan''s efforts to stay.
"Uncle Jiaxuan, it doesn''t matter. Uncle Zilin won''t interfere if he doesn''t want to interfere." Xiang Nan smiled and said, "We can''t delay the child''s affairs. How about we take care of it first?"
“Yeah, that’s fine.” Bai Jiaxuan nodded.
He had actually planned to open a school several years ago. At first, I thought about building an ancestral hall and running a school at the same time. In this way, the ancestors and future generations will remember Bai Jiaxuan.
?But later he was just busy making money, and he forgot about building ancestral halls and running schools. Now that the ancestral hall has been repaired, he plans to start a school again.
At that time, his name will also be tied to the ancestral hall and school, and will be famous for generations to come.
Subsequently, Bai Jiaxuan and Xiang Nan started planning.
…
While the two of them were thinking about setting up a school, there were still villains secretly trying to make a move.
?One night, Bai Jiaxuan was getting ready to go to bed.
The lame man who was working the clock came to report that several more people had entered the little widow''s house.
It turns out that there was a young widow in Bailu Village. Her husband had just died half a year ago and she had been observing the law.
When Bai Jiaxuan heard this, he knew they were going to gamble again, so he immediately followed the lame man.
When he kicked the door open, he saw that the little widow was the only one in the little widow''s house. She was startled and trembling when he came in, and there was no sign of anyone else.
It was only then that Bai Jiaxuan realized that he had been fooled.
He asked the lame man to continue patrolling the night, and then walked home angrily.
As soon as he reached the corner, a strong wind suddenly hit him from behind, and Bai Jiaxuan was knocked to the ground.
?My vision went dark and I fainted.
At dawn, he was discovered and helped home.
After Xiang Nan came to see it, he found that there was no serious injury, but his neck was twisted.
He immediately pressed Bai Jiaxuan''s neck a few times and straightened his neck.
"Uncle Jiaxuan, who is so cruel that he would do such a dirty trick?" Xiang Nan asked.
“I’m just not allowed to grow cigarettes. I’m going to take revenge on you.” Bai Jiaxuan gritted his teeth and said.
"I''ve told you before, let''s not do this clan leader. You see, someone is doing something behind his back." Bai Zhao said distressedly.
?Wu Xiancao looked at Bai Jiaxuan with worry in his eyes.
“Ma Liuer, take the javelin to the academy and see if my brother-in-law and sister are okay?” Bai Jiaxuan asked again.
The smoking ban was something he and Mr. Zhu did together. He was beaten up, so he was worried that his brother-in-law would also be retaliated against.
Ma Liuer nodded, shouldered the spear and went out.
At this time, the lame man came in smelling bad and said, "Chief, I quit doing the night patrol. I also had someone beat me last night.
?They covered my head and asked me if I dared to inform you, if I dared to follow you again to catch people gambling and smoking. Then they threw me into the pigsty. "
"Okay, I understand. Lame Master, you go back first, and I will take care of your affairs later." Bai Jiaxuan nodded.
"Immortal grass, give it to Lame Master, and go through the back door." Bai Zhao reminded.
?Wuxiancao nodded.
"Uncle Jiaxuan, if you are fine, I will leave." Xiang Nan said.
"I''m fine." Bai Jiaxuan shook his head, "Hei Wa, your skills are really good. Just press a few times and my neck won''t hurt anymore."
"Well, but it''s best to raise them. You have to be careful in the future." Xiang Nan reminded, "Uncle Jiaxuan, you have established your authority by banning gambling and smoking. No one in the village dares to object to it." you.
??But if you cut off everyone''s way of making money, people will hate you behind their backs. At this time, you should show some kindness and let the people see the benefits. Otherwise, this kind of thing will be inevitable in the future. "
??Bai Jiaxuan was beaten this time because he cut off everyone''s financial resources and made the villagers resentful of him. Although I dare not touch him on the surface, I can''t help but do mischief in private.
??As the saying goes, two fists are hard to beat with four hands, and a hero cannot stand against a large number of people. Bai Jiaxuan has offended many people this time. If he doesn''t show some kindness, he will really become the target of public criticism.
Bai Jiaxuan nodded after hearing this.
…
Subsequently, Bai Jiaxuan went to find his brother-in-law.
Mr. Zhu also told him that he should repay evil with kindness, and told him the story of Emperor Shun who was framed by his family several times, but he did not bear grudges, but repaid evil with kindness, and finally influenced his family and made peace.
“Brother-in-law, your idea is almost the same as Hei Wa’s.” Bai Jiaxuan said.
“What did Hei Wa say?” Mr. Zhu asked curiously.
"Hei Wa said that he wanted to ''give both kindness and power''. He said that I had established my power, but I didn''t show kindness. So everyone was afraid of me on the surface, but in fact they all hated me privately." Bai Jiaxuan explained, "So he asked me to show kindness. , Let the people see the benefits, otherwise someone will harm me."
“Hei Wa is smart.” After hearing this, Mr. Zhu nodded.
?Although he didn''t like Xiang Nan''s eccentric behavior, he did admire his intelligence and wisdom.
"Since you and he said so, then I will do it." Bai Jiaxuan said, and then he began to show kindness.
He called several people in the village who were short of land and rented their land to them at a low price. He also sent food to a few households that were unable to open a pot. He also lent cattle to several households that were short of labor...
?In addition, he also went into the city and found Shitou''s daughter-in-law and son who were out begging for food.
?It turned out that Shitou''er not only played money but also smoked, and depleted all his family''s savings. In the end, the family had nothing and could not even afford food. Therefore, Shitou''s daughter-in-law had no choice but to take her child to the county town and beg on the streets.
…
?In addition, he also planned to treat the whole village to dinner and talk to everyone about repairing the warehouse and opening a school.
There was originally a Bailucang on Bailuyuan, which was a warehouse set up by the Qing government. It was located in the wilderness three miles west of the town to store grain in good years and provide relief to the people in bad years. There was only one Cangzheng official who was responsible for collecting grain in good years and distributing relief in bad years.
? Later, when the Qing Dynasty was overthrown, there was naturally no one to manage Bailucang. It has been left deserted for so many years and is about to collapse.
?But Bai Jiaxuan felt that it was still necessary to reset Bailucang.
? ? Setting up a charity warehouse to let the rich households in the village donate some food to provide relief to the villagers who are living in a bad life. This is also the welfare he strives for for the villagers. Moreover, we should store more food in good years so that we can help our fellow villagers in disaster years.
Bailuyuan has suffered from droughts and insect plagues many times, so it is good to have a food reserve.
