Chapter 443

Li Changting came down with two big bamboo baskets and said, "what dishes do you want to pack?"

Xu Qing: "let's plant more vegetables in the field. We can pick and eat them in winter, and then we can move them out."

They picked up three baskets of vegetables and went to the field to pick two baskets of pears and oranges.

Before dawn the next day, Xu Qing and Li Changting went out of the house and came all the way to duanmuxiang's house, which is a secluded and quiet place to put things.

They took out the chicken cages and rabbit cages that had been prepared in the room for a long time and put 50 chickens, 50 ducks and 50 rabbits into the space.

Put them out in the yard with the three boxes of vegetables and two baskets of fruit.

Before long, the driver came to pick up the goods and knocked on the door. Three big trucks loaded all the chickens, ducks and vegetables on the bus. They went to the gate of the city with Duanmu ring to wait.

Then Xu Qing and Li Changting went home, picked ten big pigs in the pigsty of the park, and let Chaotianjiao tie the rope one by one.

Chaotianjiao puzzled to ask: "boss, what are you doing?"

Xu Qing: "I don't have time to explain to you. Ping'an, Tan Yang and Chunhua, you should drive these pigs to the gate of the city together. Duanmu ring is waiting for you there. Is master ready?"

Ji Laohui said: "well, well, all loaded on the car."

Ji Lao also installed two carriages, which were full of big packages.

Xu Qing: "let's go, Tianjiao and Molly. Do you want to go together?"

Chaotianjiao and Molly don't know what they are going to do, but today's holiday, they are also idle, so they just follow to have a look.

Xu Qing waved: "Li Zhu, please look after your home."

Li Zhu should say: "yes, madam, walk slowly."

A group of people came out of the city gate in a mighty manner, and there were many people following them to drive the carriage and goods.

Chaotianjiao muttered suspiciously: "what's the big day today? How come everyone has so much food and clothing? Is it going to escape? "

Yu poming and Fu Xitang's carriage are ahead. Hearing that Xu Qing is coming, they slow down and wait for her.

"You ten pigs are brilliant." Fu Xitang looked at the big white pigs and said with a smile, "this is to rob us of the limelight."

Yu Po Ming glanced at the carriage behind him: "not only ten pigs, but also chickens, ducks and rabbits."

Xu Qing smile: "I can take the hand is only these."

Looking at the smile, Fu Xitang shook his head and sighed: "Alas, no comparison, no comparison."

Yu Po Ming also said with emotion: "ah Qing is now a big family business."

A horse came running quickly and stopped beside Xu Qing's carriage.

"Hello, everyone." Zhao Jian clasped his fist and said hello.

"Lord Zhao." Yu poming and Fu Xitang also said hello one after another.

"Long time no see." Xu Qing waved.

"I have to keep order. I'll go ahead and wait for you on the mountain." Then Zhao Jian rode away.

After leaving the city of Jizhou, the mighty team slowly drove into a relatively gentle mountain forest.

Two hours later, the team turned to a newly built road and walked another hour before arriving at today's destination.

In peace, they looked up and were immediately stunned.

In the middle of the mountain stands a tall and magnificent gate. The high wall extends from the gate to both sides, almost encircling the whole mountain.

At the foot of the mountain, the people could not see the houses inside, but along the hillside, there were pieces of carefully trimmed land. At the foot of the mountain, a large paddy field had been reclaimed and divided into square blocks of the same size.

The door opened, and five young men dressed as masters came out. The leader was very familiar. If anyone who had been to the capital would know that this young man was Yin Yang, the son of Yin Xiang.

"Welcome to hope college. I'm Yin Yang, President of hope college." Yin Yang bowed to you and said, "please come inside. All the good people who come to donate today can visit the Academy at will, but please don't disturb the children."

With these words, Yin Yang and the four masters counted and recorded the donated materials of the future people. After recording, the older children helped to move them up the mountain.

It's hard for everyone to do it. The strong men all come to help carry the food and clothes up.

Fortunately, the hillside is not high, but the height of the four story building, the ladder is gentle, walking up is not very tired.

After the people in front of them finished recording, it was soon Xu Qing's turn.

Xu Qing was the only one who brought poultry and livestock. It took a lot of effort for these pigs to climb up the mountain.

There are winter quilts in Ji Lao's two carts. Besides these quilts, there are 300 Liang silver.

Of course, many people who came to donate, in addition to some materials, also brought cash. Xu Qing's carriage also contained five hundred taels of silver, which was taken over by the administrator of the academy after Yin Yang personally checked and recorded.After recording the materials, Xu Qing and his colleagues went up the mountain to visit the newly built Academy.

Chaotianjiao and Molly were sorry to know that Xu Qing's things were for the orphans here. They knew that they had brought something with them.

"The front is the classroom for class, the left is the library, the right is the canteen, and the back is the dormitory." The master who came to entertain introduced Xu Qing to them.

Now most of the children are in the classroom, Xu Qing, they can only look out of the window.

"How many children in all?" Chaotianjiao asked in a low voice.

Xu Qing: "it seems that there are more than 1000?"

Master: "it's 1130 children. At present, the imperial court has set up three hope academies. There are one in Zhuzhou, one in Qingzhou and one in Yuzhou. There are 955 children in Qingzhou and 860 children in Yuzhou. We have the largest number of people in Zhuzhou. They were all sent from all over the country. Some of them had no father or mother, some were abandoned, most of them were abducted and sold to the state of Yue, and some of them were abandoned children. "

Xu Qing: "what will these children do in the future?"

Master: "according to the meaning of the imperial court, they are raised until they are 16 years old. Those with good qualifications can continue to study literature and martial arts in the Academy. The rest will be allocated to each village and town by the government, giving them houses and fields to support themselves. But before that, we will teach them some skills. Look at the fields outside the Academy. These are the places where they usually practice. They will also be the main source of food for the Academy in the future. "

Xu Qing: "what about the girl?"

Master: "there are special female masters in the Academy who teach them to farm, work and do housework. Because what they learn is different, girls and boys are taught separately, and future arrangements are also different."
