Quick Time Travel Plane Development 2

The Du family does not allow other families within a radius of 100 meters, so the layout of the entire Du family village house is like a double-heavy structure with an empty space in the middle. One end is the Du family and the other is other families in the village.

The Du family's house is located on a higher ground. No matter where in the village, you can see the high white courtyard walls and the black tiled roofs exposed on the top of the walls.

"Aunt Luo, how do you think that person, er, His Highness, will upset the Du family? My Yu Zhu will not be affected, right?" Sister-in-law Yu asked worriedly.

"Dali didn't mention it, Yu Zhu is probably fine." Aunt Luo comforted her.

"Aunt Luo. I'm going back first." Sister-in-law Yu couldn't sit down anymore, so she put the embroidered stuffing into the bamboo basket and went home with the basket.

Aunt Luo didn't go home, but she was distracted by her embroidery and glanced in the direction of Du's house from time to time.

I don't know how long it took, but she suddenly saw a large group of people coming from the direction of Du's house.

"What?" She stood up.

The large group of people rushed towards the village quickly.

There were dozens of people, it was noisy and there was a lot of movement. Many people came out of the house to see what was going on.

Soon, they knew what was happening.

The Du family was captured by His Highness, killed and imprisoned.

From now on, they are no longer slaves of the Du family. All the IOUs have been burned, and they no longer owe the Du family a penny.

Not only that, they also received compensation from the Du family.

"... His Highness said that the village will still be called Jinsuo Village from now on."

This sentence also caused a burst of cheers.

Except for the Du family, everyone else in the village did not want the village to be renamed Dujia Village, but their thin arms could not twist the Du family's thighs, so they had no choice but to let the Du family change the name of the village with the government.

…

Zihua walked out of the gate of the Du family's residence.

You can see the entire Jinsuo Village from Du's house.

The scene in front of her was relatively unfamiliar to Zi Hua, because the original owner had almost never left the Du family residence.

The few times they entered and exited by carriage, the original owner had zero experience of walking out of the Du family's house.

Jinsuo Village is a beautiful water village with a river running through it.

The houses in the village are quite old, with mottled walls, and it is almost impossible to tell that they were once white. The houses are crowded, with one house next to the other.

In fact, the population of Jinsuo Village is not very large, so it does not need to be so crowded.

It's just that the Du family is overbearing and restricts the houses of other families in the village to that area, resulting in a situation where Jinsuo Village is not a small place but the houses are built together.

Zihua walked towards the village.

She had already heard about the situation in Jinsuo Village, and had also checked some information stored by the Du family.

But she needed to see it for herself.

She didn't bring Lu Shuilan with her.

Lu Shuilan stayed at Du's house to deal with some subsequent matters.

Among the slaves of the Du family, some were not from the village. After regaining their freedom, some wanted to return to their hometowns, while others did not want to go back, or had no home to return to.

They want to stay.

Zihua asked Lu Shuilan to make arrangements for them.

When she reached the entrance of the village, she felt a very eager gaze. The source of the gaze was a woman in her forties.

The woman's face was obviously weather-stained. She was wearing an old coarse cloth dress, but it was well-cut and starched.

Seeing Zi Hua looking at her, Aunt Luo bowed to Zi Hua and saluted, "Are you Your Highness?"

Not seeing her son Luo Dali come back with those people, Aunt Luo went to the entrance of the village and waited.

She saw a woman she had never seen before walking over from a distance, and suddenly the image of Emperor Zhu Kou came to her mind, which reminded her of Miss Xiangrou, the descendant of Emperor Zhu Kou, mentioned by Luo Dali.

"Well, it's me, Zheng Huashan. Who are you?" Zihua asked.

Aunt Luo was indescribably excited when she saw that His Highness looked at the people without lifting his chin and showed a smile just like what his mother said about Emperor Zhu Kou. "I am Luo Dali's mother, Mrs. Luo Cai."

Meeting Zi Hua's eyes that looked straight at her, something in Aunt Luo's heart was touched, and she quickly added, "My name was Cai Si'en when I was at my parents' home."

After saying her name, Cai Si'en's eyes were sour and she wanted to cry. She hadn't said her name to anyone for a long time, and no one had called her name.

Since she got married, she has been called Luo Cai's family, Luo's sister-in-law, Dali's mother, Ermei's mother, and Aunt Luo in the village, but she has never been called Cai Si'en.

"What a good name." Yuhua asked, "Cai Si'en, can you read and write?" Yuhua found that the illiteracy rate in Jinsuo Village was a bit high. Among the dozens of people who worked as slaves in the Du family, only a few could read and write. There are only a few people.

"Yes." Cai Si'en became even more excited when his name was called, "I can memorize all elementary and intermediate readers."

After her mother passed away, she would read the reading books left by her mother when she had free time, and she knew everything by heart.

Over the years, when she missed her mother, she would recite it again, so she never forgot it.

"Okay, help me memorize some things later, and I'll pay you." This was an impromptu idea by Zi Hua.

She needs a lot of manpower, but not all kinds of manpower will do. Currently, literacy is a minimum requirement.

Since I met a literate person, I stayed if possible.

Emperor Zhu Kou imposed a six-year compulsory school. Children aged seven and above, regardless of gender, must attend the school. The school is divided into two levels: primary and intermediate.

It was such a good initiative, but after the death of Emperor Zhu Kou, its implementation was stopped in many places.

Zi Hua asked and found out that compulsory schools were abolished in Jinsuo Village fifty years ago.

It is rare for Cai Sien to be able to recite an intermediate reader.

"Okay, Your Highness." Cai Si'en was happy and frightened at the same time, "You don't need to pay me, I should work for Your Highness."

"It's only natural to use money to do things." Yu Hua said.

Cai Si'en didn't refuse anymore.

Zihua asked Cai Sien about the situation in the village.

Cai Sien told everything she knew.

What made Zi Hua nod secretly was that Cai Si'en's words were clear and coherent. What he said was neither exaggerated nor vague. It could be mutually corroborated with the information that Zi Hua already had.

She made a decision, "Cai Si'en, I ask you to be the head of Jinsuo Village, are you willing?"

Cai Si'en subconsciously refused, "Your Highness, I can't do it."

"How can you know if it works or not if you don't try it. I want to reestablish compulsory schools and need a literate person who can also serve as school inspector."

Yuhua wants to enlighten the people's wisdom.

Emperor Zhu Kou had the same idea back then.

Only when the people's wisdom is enlightened can they be sensible and not be led by people like the Du family.

When Cai Si'en heard this, he was overjoyed and immediately changed his mind, "Your Highness, I am willing."

She has selfish motives.

Back then, her mother had been looking forward to the reopening of compulsory schools, and she was even more eager to do so. She had only heard her mother talk about compulsory schools, but had never seen one.

With the school, her grandson and granddaughter can study in the school.
