Chapter 237 Carnival and Celebration
From si o'clock in the morning, the gates of the three academies in [Tieshi Town] have been opened one after another.
Direct entry to junior high school requires a certain assessment in advance and a little knowledge base, and most people in Hanzhong obviously do not have this condition, so the crowd gathered in the junior high school academy is not too much.
on the contrary.
From the moment the gates of the two primary schools opened, they were always crowded with people.
"Good place, really good place!"
"It's really good, but it's a pity that I was born too early, so I don't have that blessing!"
"You son of a bitch, after your father and I leave, you must listen to what your master says in the academy, do you understand? Mr. Shengping in Hanzhong gave your family such a good opportunity, if you let me know that you are not serious in the academy Read a book, I will break your leg next time I come over."
After a farmer from a radius of more than ten miles sent their children to the academy, they walked around the academy several times one after another. They looked at the canteen, dormitory, teaching building, etc. all.
After reading it, many people's eyes were red, some of them were excited, and some of them were pure envy and hatred.
Made.
Why didn't I have such a blessing when I was a child, living in such a place?
In fact, speaking from the heart, when Mo Jun built more than 100 academies in Hanzhong, he did not spend a lot of money. Except for the main academies in [Shengping Town], the academies in other places basically consisted of several seven-story buildings. composition of buildings.
Besides.
No frills at all.
There are only blackboards, tables, chairs and benches in the teaching building.
The dormitories built are far from comparable to those of later generations. They are all slightly larger rooms with 8 to 10 people. The bed boards are also simple wooden board beds.
It can be said.
Apart from the large size and tall buildings, the whole academy has basically no other features.
But even so, in the eyes of most commoners in Hanzhong, such a building is still a good place.
After all, people's aesthetics for houses and buildings are very simple nowadays. If they are big enough and tall enough, it is a good place. What's more, the houses in the academy are all made of cement brick and tile structure, which is not hundreds of times better than the houses they used to live in.
To know.
Before the arrival of Mo Jun, most of the common people's houses in Hanzhong were made of earth blocks, wooden boards, and thatch.
As for bricks, tiles and stones, it is simply unthinkable.
Now the children of their family live in this kind of big house, and the shelter from wind, rain, cold and heat is already many times better than when they were young.
Under these conditions, what kind of bicycle do you need?
The teachers that Mo Jun specially recruited from Zhuzi Baijia before have already been in place, but now these teachers have been surrounded by the parents of the new students.
"Mr. Zhang, I will leave my baby to you."
"Mr. Li, if my child makes a mistake in the academy, you must not be polite, just whip him. If anything happens, I will find a doctor at my own expense."
"Come on, this is the old hen I brought from home. It's not worth a lot of money. Mr. Zhang, you can keep it and stew it to nourish your body."
The first day of school started today, and the parents of these new students basically did not come empty-handed. The knowledge of the world has been passed down in the Central Plains for a long time.
People do not blame.
This is the truth that almost every low-level people understand.
It was the first time for the gentlemen of the academy to face such "enthusiastic" parents. At first, they declined, but later found that they couldn't refuse at all, so they accepted these "beauties".
After they settled down their children and greeted Mr. Academy, everyone gradually left.
on parting.
It is natural to have feelings of reluctance, but for this reluctance, most parents have left it behind after walking less than half a mile.
Any parent who has raised a child should know this.
Children in their seventies and eighties and 90s can be said to hate dogs. Even if a child of this age sees a dog at the entrance of the village, he will run with his tail between his legs.
Every year at the beginning of school season.
The saddest are the children, and the happiest are the parents.
······
"Old turtle, over here, go drink."
The old farmer who was called "Old Turtle" at the gate of the academy had just sent his two children into the academy, and was immersed in the sadness of parting. As a result, he had just walked out of the gate of the academy less than fifty steps away, when a voice suddenly sounded in his ear .
And when he heard the word 'wine' in this sentence, his ears pricked up, and the 'distracting thoughts' in his mind were instantly swept away, leaving only the thought of 'drinking'.
"Walk."
After dropping a word, he followed the 'old bastard' who called him, and walked all the way towards the market in [Tieshi Town].
It was already late afternoon when the two arrived at the market in the town.
It was the hottest time of the day, but although the sun was shining brightly outside, the entire market was overcrowded, with dark-skinned old farmers constantly shuttling through the streets, all with unstoppable smiles on their faces.
Obviously, these are also parents who came all the way from the surrounding villages and just sent their children to the academy.
On both sides of the street, red lanterns were hung at the entrances of all the shops and inns, and under the red lanterns, there were also signboards with [Today's consumption half price] written on pieces of wood.
This is not the case of one or two, but all the shops in the entire [Iron Stone Town] today.
No one asked for it.
This is an event spontaneously held by the townspeople of [Iron Stone Town] to celebrate the opening of the academy.
Led by the 'old bastard', the two turned a few turns along a small alley, and soon came to a tavern that looked a little rough.
This tavern is not big, and its location is a bit remote, but there are quite a few customers drinking here, because the wine here is cheap.
When 'Old Bastard' and 'Old Turtle Duzi' arrived, the guests of the entire tavern had already squeezed onto the ground outside the door. Many people couldn't find a place, so they simply sat on the ground, ordered a few small dishes, and a pot of inferior Drink, and then eat like this.
The "wine making law" in Hanzhong has already been reformed by Mr. Mo. Private individuals are still not allowed to use grain to make wine, but they are allowed to use fruits such as wild berries to brew some inferior wine for sale.
This change in the law has given many low-level people a way out.
Including the shopkeeper of the tavern in front of you.
The tavern was very noisy, and after some people got drunk, foul language almost became commonplace in the entire tavern.But the people here never care about these things, because this is a gathering place for the little people, and the rich and the rich will never come here to drink such bad wine.
"Hahaha~~~ Old cripple, you can just talk about the half-price of those big businessmen outside, why don't you have nothing to do to learn from them. With your little advantage in this tavern, I'm afraid you can do business as you do. It’s not that the tavern will close down tomorrow!”
Suddenly, a rough voice resounded from the crowd. Looking around, they saw a big man with a flushed face laughing loudly.
As soon as the big man finished speaking, he saw a lame middle-aged man walking out of the tavern with a jug of wine in his beard and staring eyes. the way:
"I know that you, a dog butcher who kills thousands of knives, can't let out a loud fart. I'm paying half price today because I'm happy. Two children in my family have already entered the academy, and they will be high officials when they come out. "
"Today, this wine is used by me to worship Sheng Pingjun. You bastards who drilled out of the mud, you should be laughing if you can get a good deal from Sheng Pingjun, and you are so fucking cursing me. , let me tell you, only this tavern, Lao Tzu, will not be able to close down in this lifetime."
As soon as the old cripple finished speaking, there was a burst of laughter.
"Pfft hahaha~~~ Hey, did you hear that? This old cripple actually said that his two children will be high officials in the future. If he said so, my kid can be a general in the future!"
"That's right, and this old cripple still wants to offer wine to Sheng Pingjun, just your low-quality fruit wine, don't dirty the mouth of Sheng Pingjun and his old man!"
"However, the last sentence of your old cripple is right. You must not close this tavern. After all... I will still wait to see your old cripple's jokes in the future? If you old cripple Now, where do we go to find such funny fun in the future. Don’t you think so? Brothers!”
"exactly······"
"Hahaha...that's right at all."
The old cripple's face turned red with anger, and then he cursed angrily: "Go away...a bunch of unscrupulous bastards, if it weren't for Lao Tzu, you wouldn't be able to afford a drink in eight lifetimes. "
Say it.
While cursing, the old cripple limped into the tavern and continued to greet the guests.
And when the old cripple left, the guests outside the tavern burst into laughter again, and then raised their glasses and said loudly.
"Come on, let us brothers have another cup, respect Shengping Jun, and a better future for Hanzhong."
"Respect Shengping Jun."
"A better future for Hanzhong."
······
The crowd cheered, shouted, and made noise.
No one noticed that in a corner outside the tavern, an old man on crutches watched the crowd celebrating with a smile on his face, and looked at the smiles on the faces of the people in the tavern, and his eyes flashed from time to time. In the light of the light, he also raised his glass and drank a glass of bad wine, and then quietly left the tavern.
The old man was Mayor Tie.
He came to this tavern today for no other purpose, but walked over while strolling, so he rested here for a while.
The scene in the tavern is just a microcosm of [Iron Stone Town].
This is a carnival belonging to [Iron Stone Town].
Everyone cheered like crazy.
on the surface.
They are celebrating the opening of the academy.
But in fact they are celebrating their 'new life'.
