Chapter 443 Hope Primary School
In the blink of an eye, the holiday is here again.
When they returned to the Holy Spirit Village, Old Jack came to them first and said that he was undecided about something and needed Zhou Qing and Tang San's help.
"That's great, Grandpa Jack. I also have something to discuss with you."
Having said that, Zhou Qing still let Old Jack speak first.
"It's like this. The village in Xingluo Empire heard that we have established a workers' and farmers' council and a rural vegetable market here, and they also want to join in. Do you think it's okay?"
Since the Holy Soul Village is close to the border of the Xing Luo Empire, it can naturally come into contact with the villages within Xing Luo, and there are even intermarriages among the villagers.
Now, the villagers in the villages across Xingluo have seen that a road has been rebuilt between Shenghun Village and other villages. There is more traffic and the village has become more prosperous. They can't help but feel envious and want to join in. Some even want to move here.
That's why Old Jack couldn't make up his mind.
"Of course."
Zhou Qing was worried about the lack of people. It would be great if the villages within the Xingluo Empire could also join in.
We are all miserable people!
Tiandou and Xingluo both treat the common people in the countryside as slaves and do not care about their lives. They should unite and seek common development.
Afterwards, Zhou Qing, Tang San, Xiao Wu, and Romantina went to the Workers and Peasants Council together to discuss the inclusion of the villages in Xingluo near the Tiandou border into the Workers and Peasants Council.
In addition, Zhou Qing also discussed the construction of a road along the border between Tiandou and Xingluo leading to the vicinity of Hanhai City on the west coast.
"...About that. I went to Hanhai City this semester. Not to mention Hanhai City, a big city that is a hundred times more prosperous than Nottingham City, the villagers in the nearby villages can also eat fish from time to time."
Zhou Qing used the simplest reason to convince Old Jack and other village chiefs, "The only way to keep the children in the village healthy is to build a wide and flat road, so that the countless fish and shrimp meats on the seabed can be transported to our inland area and the price can be lowered."
"Whether you are working or practicing, you need to eat and drink well."
"I heard that sea fish are very expensive in inland cities because the inland is too far from the sea. It takes too much energy to transport sea fish. But in Hanhai City, sea fish are very cheap. One silver soul coin can buy a fish as long as a person! Only when the fish becomes a soul beast will the price go up."
"As long as we build a road, all future villagers in the village will be able to eat meat."
Old Jack and the village chiefs from other villages nodded frequently as they listened.
It’s good for the village, who wouldn’t agree?
Of course, it is also because they have enjoyed the benefits of the changes brought about by Zhou Qing, Tang San and others, and they are full of prestige and naturally convinced.
Moreover, Zhou Qing did not require the villagers to complete the construction of this highway within a year - this is simply a joke!
According to Zhou Qing's estimation, it would take at least five years to mobilize the villages that had already joined the Workers' and Peasants' Council, and to recruit other villages along the way.
Therefore, Zhou Qing set a five-year plan!
Within five years, a basic road will be built. It does not need to be as smooth and wide as the current roads connecting more than 30 villages. It only needs to cut down trees and dig up stones along the way, and then cover the road with yellow mud, black soil and gravel so that people and ox carts can pass normally.
Afterwards, Zhou Qing followed Old Jack to the Spirit Hall office in the village, which had been demolished and a school had been rebuilt.
"The school has been built, and the desks and chairs inside have been prepared. Carpenters from various villages worked together to build it. The only thing is that the school hasn't been named yet. Xiaoqing, can you name it?" Old Jack said with a smile.
"Let's call it 'Hope Primary School'." The nostalgia in Zhou Qing's eyes disappeared in an instant. He named the school, looked at the children blinking outside the school, and called them in, "What are you still standing there for? Go in and study!"
Hope Primary School was officially established! Zhou Qing was the first principal of this primary school, and Tang San, Xiao Wu, and Romantina were all teachers at the academy.
Bu Yi and the other seven sisters, as well as Mo Hen, were also hired by Zhou Qing to provide enlightenment education for the children during the holidays.
After learning about the changes in Shenghun Village and the surrounding villages, Mo Hen could not believe his eyes. Especially when he learned that Zhou Qing wanted to incorporate the villages on the Xingluo side and carry out large-scale construction and open up a road leading to the vicinity of Hanhai City, his eyes almost popped out.
The former can also be said to be Zhou Qing's intention to unite the Holy Soul Village and the surrounding villages to build a small town in the future.
And what about the latter?
I feel that Zhou Qing’s ambition goes beyond that, he also wants to lay the foundation for establishing a country!
Mo Hen didn't understand military tactics, but he knew that although the area where Tiandou and Xingluo met was vast and about three or four hundred miles away, it was mostly hills and basins, not strategic locations. If they really wanted to create a larger living space between the two areas -
The periphery is easy to defend but difficult to attack, so it is impossible for the two empires to send heavy troops to attack.
And the soul master——
Zhou Qing, Tang San, and Xiao Wu are all gifted, Romantina has also shown a talent for cultivation, and the seven sisters including Bu Yi also have good talents in cultivation, and it seems that they are being guided by them to practice together.
It can be said that when they all grow up, the two empires may have to recognize their status.
In fact, especially considering Romantina's identity, Mo Hen suspected whether Romanyak was also involved.
but!
What does this have to do with him?
He is just a teacher!
Therefore, Mo Hen devoted himself to teaching. However, in the process, he felt a little disturbed when he saw the villagers of Shenghun Village and other villages studying and working. Especially after learning about the class concept of nobles and commoners expressed by Zhou Qing in the teaching process, he was even more astonished. He also suddenly understood the doubts about the conflicts between nobles and commoners, and commoner soul masters.
In terms of cultivation, in addition to the previous arrangements, Zhou Qing and his group would find time to go to Hanhai City every semester to experience the vibrations of the ocean waves caused by the rhythm of the earth, so as to temper their bodies and begin to create a way of using strength based on qi, blood, and soul power...
In this way, as time went by, three years passed quietly.
With Shenghun Village as the base, the roads between villages near Tiandou and Xingluo have been repaired, allowing them to communicate with each other.
Starting from Shenghun Village and heading west, the construction of the coast to the west has been nearly half completed thanks to the joint efforts of the villagers.
The seafood restaurant opened by Ariel has a background due to its cooperation with the Purple Pearl Pirates...Adventure Group. In addition, with its rich fish products, it has already established a foothold in Hanhai City.
After having a stable income, at Zhou Qing's suggestion, he mobilized the villagers near Hanhai City and the young and strong people in Hanhai City to join the process of building the second half of the road according to the road planning map designed by Zhou Qing and Tang San.
During this period, Ariel relied on her own gift of sea blood to keep sea fish and shrimp fresh for a long time. Every two months, she would personally transport them inland along nearly half of the road that had been repaired, so that all the villages along the way could eat sea fish.
However, it is currently limited to villages. If you want to transport a large amount to the inland, you still have to find saltpeter mines first, or recruit some poor soul masters who are willing to freeze sea fish in order to make a living. There are actually quite a few of this kind of soul masters...
When the benefits Zhou Qing mentioned really came to their mouths, the villagers of Shenghun Village and the villages along the way became even more motivated.
Moreover, the inland villagers also found that the vegetables, rice and flour they grew were very popular among the residents of the coastal villages and cities, who were even willing to pay a lot of money to buy them.
This further stimulated the villagers' desire to repair this road!
hope--
It seems like it has really befallen these country villagers whose lives are ignored by the city officials...
