In the evening, the villagers ate early and took benches to the door to enjoy the shade.
In fact, it is to enjoy the shade, that is, the neighbors get together and talk and chat together.
In this era, there is no TV network, and there is nothing to do at home, so we come out and chat together.
If it's winter, everyone may go to bed early after dinner.
But the weather is hot in summer, and I can't sleep early.
So everyone has developed the habit of having dinner in the summer to cool off.
Let’s talk and talk about things in the village and tell stories.
There were not so many mosquitoes in the ancient summer.
Because the air is fresh and the environment is very good, occasionally one or two mosquitoes fly over, gently fan it with a fan, and the mosquitoes will not bite.
The wind blows at night, and it is cool, and it makes people feel comfortable and cool when it blows on people.
And everyone had a smile on their face.
"We don't have to worry about war in Chu now."
"Yes, with such a good emperor and princess, everyone can rest assured, as long as they live a good life."
"No, the emperor has given us tax reductions and exemptions. Except for that little tax, the harvested grain and crops are enough to feed the big guys."
"Not only can you be full, but you can also eat well. You can eat plain rice every day."
"Yeah, it's better for us to be the new emperor."
"The emperor and crown prince were so bad in the past that they not only increased taxes, but also forced people to serve as soldiers. In fact, they were sent to death."
"It was really scary back then."
"There were bandits in the capital at that time."
"No, it's still safe now."
Everyone was filled with emotion.
Before, they were afraid to go out.
There is not enough food to eat. In order not to starve to death, I can only drink some gruel or something.
At that time, I didn’t dare to fall asleep at night. If there was a dog barking in the village, the big guy would wake up immediately.
The big guy was completely awakened.
was awakened and dared not sleep.
timid.
At that time, the emperors did not take the lives of their common people at all.
But it’s different now, now everyone can go out at will and don’t have to worry about anything.
And the bandits have been cleaned up, even if there are bandits, they will not dare to come out. Once they appear, they will be arrested by the yamen.
Now at night, there are patrols patrolling to keep everyone safe.
"The key is more than that. I heard that we will build factories and farms here. When it develops, we will all benefit from it."
"Yes, yes, have you read the newspapers? The newspapers said that in the future, each county will build a school, and children in the surrounding villages can go to school for free without any maintenance fees."
"This is really good, is the news true?"
The villagers know how important reading is, even if they are not literate.
If there is a scholar in the village, the whole village will be very proud.
The key is how difficult it is for a farmer to provide a scholar, and the big guy knows best.
Now you can enroll for free, don’t mention how excited you are.
"The news in the newspaper must be true. The backstage of the newspaper office is the emperor. Without the emperor's consent, can the newspaper report anything casually?"
"Yes, just like the announcement from the yamen, it must be true. Now it's better, both children in the family can go to school."
"And now that paper is cheap, don't worry about not being able to buy paper."
"I heard that if you study well, there are scholarships and stipends in the school."
…
The big guys are discussing the school, and the discussion is in full swing.
"This school not only has imperial examinations, but also teaches children a lot of skills, including embroidery for girls, martial arts for boys, arithmetic and accounting, and how to be a shopkeeper..."
"And teach how to make more food crops per acre. This is also taught."
When everyone talks about this, everyone comes to the spirit.
If children go to such a school to learn skills, they will have a skill when they grow up, and they will be able to make money and live a good life.
Their parents don't have to worry too much about their children.
Speaking of this, listening to these news, everyone felt relieved and relaxed.
In the past, when I went out to enjoy the shade in summer, all of them were not the current mental outlook.
But now the big guys have bright smiles on their faces.
That is a smile full of hope for life.
"It's better for our emperor and princess."
"No, everyone liked King Ding and Princess Lan in the past, but now they have become emperors and princesses, which is even better."
"The current princess of Zhenguo is not the master of Blue County."
"But she's good. You don't know. When the princess came to our house today and said to buy that cow, I was stunned."
"Really, I don't even believe it's a princess. She speaks softly, softly, and beautiful."
When everyone talks about the princess, there is a look of admiration in their eyes.
"Father and mother, can my brother and sister go to school?" The little girl's eyes showed a longing look.
The woman smiled and said, "Don't worry, you and your younger siblings can go to school. There are many things to learn. Didn't you like embroidery before? You can also learn embroidery. After three years of basic knowledge, you will be able to read and write. You can read by yourself and then learn to embroider.”
"Speaking of embroidery, there is a shop in the capital that sells good things, it's very novel, there are schoolbags, four-piece suits and sweaters, all from the embroidery workshop in Dingzhou, and there are women who can embroider. Guys, they earn more than men every month."
Now some things in Dingzhou are no longer a secret.
The news is no longer blocked, and some people in the capital also know some news about Dingzhou.
also know that many good things now come from Dingzhou.
"You know a lot."
"One of my distant cousins is from Suteng Village, Teng County, Dingzhou. She sent me some wheat seeds with a parcel post. She said that these wheat seeds are not ordinary seeds, and the yield is very high. She also told me something about Suteng Village in the letter. , I know so much."
"I heard you say it before, it felt like a legend, but now I believe it. Now that the princess is in the capital, the princess said that she would build a factory and that she would also hire people from our village."
Everyone was discussing this, and their hearts were full of energy and enthusiasm.
In the evening, people in the villages were talking and chatting, and the villages were full of laughter.
…
On the other side, after Su Binglan went back, she didn't even bother to eat.
She looked at several buckets of milk and said happily, "Now I can make milk tea and popsicles."
Su Chun and Su Ju watched curiously beside Su Binglan, and also followed to help.
"Prepare the fruit first."
"Here's a mango, here's an apricot, here's a watermelon, here's a melon, wash these, and dice them for later use."
"Yes, Master."
Su Chun and Su Ju got busy as soon as they heard Su Binglan speak.
Su Binglan scooped some boiled water in the basin, put in some spiritual spring water, added sugar, and stirred it well.
Su Chun and Su Ju are very fast. After the two of them have cut the fruit, they wait for Su Binglan's next instructions.
