Otherworldly Days

Chapter 243

"Hello everyone, I'm calling Cao Xiangnan." Cao Xiangnan stood in the center and did not sit down.

He is usually a person with a smile on his face, but today he really couldn't laugh because of the shamelessness of these people.

Before he stepped into Lizheng, he already had a way to deal with this matter in his heart.Cao Xiangnan briefly shared his thoughts with Cao Gang, and the two of them worked together to deal with the matter in a while.

He looked at Cao Gang, and the two communicated silently in a way they only understood.Cao Gang nodded slightly to him, which meant that he had full power to handle this matter.The two have been together for so long, and there is still some tacit understanding and trust.

"The old man is..."

"The old man is..."

All the people here have indicated their identities one by one, which village they are from, and their attitudes do not show that they are here to ask for help. Before Caojia Village had the right to change the village head and dismiss the elders, Cao Xiangnan met him. The village chiefs and clan elders who have passed Caojia Village are all so self-important with a little power, let alone these village chiefs in the neighboring villages Li Zhenghe clan elders.It's just a little village official who is used to being domineering in the village, so he wants to come to Cao's Village?

When you ask for help, you should have the attitude of asking for help!Instead of occupying a large number of people and wanting to bully them!

"Grandfather Seven, Wenxuan already told us about the matter on the way here." After Cao Xiangnan heard this, he didn't pay much attention to the so-called elders of the village chief.Looking at them, Li Zheng said ^ "Well, boy Nan, how do you deal with this matter?" These people have been making trouble with him for a long time. Originally, for the sake of everyone's neighbors, Li Zheng could help Don't mind helping everyone out.But with their current state, no matter how good-tempered he is, he still feels uncomfortable.

Don't think that he doesn't know, when their Caojia Village was poor, when the people in these villages heard that the matchmaker was going to marry their kid in Caojia Village, they refused without even thinking about it.The elder brother who married in Caojia Village was beaten by her husband's family. People in their village went to seek justice and occupied their village, which was better than their Caojia Village. They didn't take Caojia Village seriously at all.

I haven't even figured out the beams I formed in the past!Now that he's here, he still looks arrogant!Do you really think that Cao Gaozhi is a clay figurine made of clay, and he can't be tempered? !Li Zheng hummed inwardly.

The people sitting here are a group of old guys who take advantage of their high status and rely on their elders to sell their elders. They saw that the village head of Caojia Village is a kid who doesn't even have hair. And what about Cao Xiangnan? A rich boy?They have eaten more salt than these two boys have eaten rice.

It was the village head of Caojia Village who made them a little scruples. He was not easy to mess with at first glance, and his eyes were like knives when he looked at them.Even if they didn't pay attention to the young village chief, after being stared at like this, they subconsciously restrained a little, and their hearts trembled a little.

Cao Gang was just sitting there, his bastard spirit could help him suppress these old things, Cao Xiangnan laughed here, his face was still serious.

He didn't know about the past conflicts between Caojia Village and neighboring villages. In his case, as a member of Caojia Village, he naturally protected himself even more.

"Wenxuan, you go out first and bring the old people and children into the house, and pour everyone a cup of hot water to warm up." Cao Xiangnan glanced at the old guys sitting there, ignored them, and said to Cao Wenxuan One sentence.

It's too cold outside, so that the old man and the child won't fall down, he emphasized, "Remember, it's the old man and the child."

When he passed by just now, he also saw two children with bare feet and ragged clothes.

"Okay." Cao Wenxuan understood, and walked outside.

Cao Gang made a gesture and asked Wang Dahu to go out and help.

Wang Dahu took the order and followed Cao Wenxuan out.This man is tall, with a beard all over his face, and he has a fierce look on his body. This is a person who really kills the enemy on the battlefield. With a glance, he is more deterrent than the village chief Cao Gang.

Those outside quickly invited the old man and the children in, and all the people who came in stood next to the door.Naturally, some young people also wanted to come in. It was so cold outside, and they stood outside blowing the cold wind for so long.

"Why don't you let us in!"

"be honest!"

Wang Dahu's voice came from outside the door. Before people came in, Cao Xiangnan didn't intend to pay attention to these old guys. He believed that there must be people who really needed help, and there were rascals who wanted to live in a good house.

"Yeah, what are we going to do about this?" Someone couldn't help but uttered a voice. As soon as the tall and thin old man uttered such a voice, someone responded, "We have been in your Caojia Village for so long, what are you going to do? sound."

"Everyone in our village has brought them. Are you going to give us an explanation?"

"The people in Caojia Village are all living in the Academy, why can't the people in Huangpo Village do it?"

"Yeah, and us..."

Confession?why not?Listening to these words, Cao Xiangnan sneered in his heart, you brought the man here, we will explain to you, right? !

The old people and children outside the door came in one by one. They came here after walking such a long way, and they walked on the snow all the way, and some of them came here barefoot.When Cao Xiangnan saw these children, he really wanted to slap these old men sitting here arrogantly to death!

Oh shit!This kind of weather brought these children here, and let them walk here barefoot!It's just insane.Could it be that Caojia Village doesn't help their villagers, so they let these old people and children die in their Caojia Village? It seems that they really mean that.

"……Drink of water."

"thanks, thanks."

Cao Wenxuan came in and had brought hot water for the elderly and children to drink. There were not many bowls. He was holding a kettle in his hand, and the poured water was steaming. For those who suffer from such a cold wind for so long, it is like a life-saving elixir. "Everyone came to our Caojia Village and found our Lizheng here. I, Cao Xiangnan, have also heard about it. So, let's talk about it now." something." Seeing Wang Dahu coming in last, Wang Dahu nodded to him, knowing that he had brought in all the old people and children outside, Cao Xiangnan said.

"Let's first talk about the ownership of this academy. Does this academy belong to Caojia Village, nor your Chenjia Village, or Huangpo Village, or any other village!" Cao Xiangnan's words contained anger. emphasized.

"As for the matter that you said that your village also raised money to build an academy, let's talk about this issue. Which family in your village contributed money to build an academy? It's your choice. No one is forcing you to give money to build an academy! If The head of any village is still an elder of the Lizheng clan, and even the villagers think that people in your village have also raised money to build an academy, and this academy belongs to your village."

At this point, Cao Xiangnan paused for a moment, and then continued, "While everyone is here, you can stand up, I have a notebook here to record clearly, which village and who paid how much money to build the academy, I will The full amount will be returned to you." "Then, correspondingly, if people in your village want to send their children to study in the academy in the future, no matter how old they are, they will give them twice the amount!"

Cao Xiangnan didn't say no, he just increased the bundle!

Here, people from other villages are not allowed to attend schools in other villages, unless they go to towns. Schools in towns don’t care which village people are from.

"I, Cao Xiangnan, am here, and I want to emphasize once again that the Academy does not belong to Cao's Village, nor does it belong to any of your villages." Cao Xiangnan especially emphasized that his high-pitched voice scared all the old guys present.

This academy does not belong to any village, so this is also his purpose of building the academy out of Caojia Village in the first place, lest someone in Caojia Village say that the academy belongs to Caojia Village.

Some people who wanted to occupy their village and spent money to build an academy, as soon as they heard that the money was returned to the people in their village, and they would pay twice as much for the people in their village to study in the future, they immediately shut up. Dare to speak.

"But one by one" "As long as you want to come to study, you can come to the academy to study after March next year." Taking advantage of the fact that the village chiefs and clan elders of each village are here, Cao Xiangnan also clarified the admission requirements and let everyone know There is such a thing, and it is true, "At the beginning of February next year, we will send people to your village to talk about the enrollment of this academy."

In February, the first snow melted, which happened to be the time for enrollment and publicity, and the academy started in March.

"As for winter, from now on, the academy will have a teacher give lectures every winter. Every morning, the teacher will only give a one-hour class. You don't need any restraints. You can come if you want. Classes will be suspended when it snows, everyone. You don’t need to come here.” This is something everyone knows this year, and many people from the village have come to school.

This is the end of the issue of the ownership of the academy and the issue of sending children to study in various villages in the future. Cao Xiangnan turned to this matter of asking for help, "It snowed heavily last night, and some people's houses collapsed and could not live in. Regarding this matter, I can only I express my great sympathy." Cao Xiangnan glanced at a child who was standing in the crowd and looked at him with longing eyes, and said, "As for the matter of sending the villagers to the academy to 'borrow' , let’s talk about it properly.”

He particularly emphasized "borrowing", not taking it for granted.

"A snowstorm last night crushed many houses in our Huangpo Village. As the village head, I can't help it. I thought that the academy could arrange people to live there, so I brought them here with me. People from our village cannot be allowed to live there.”

As soon as these people heard this, they started to play the bitterness card.

They all talked about how pitiful the villagers in their village were. The house was crushed by the heavy snow, and the house was so dilapidated that it was uninhabitable. If you don’t let the people in our village live in the academy, all the people in our village will be frozen this winter. die.
