The Story of a Destitute Noblewoman Farming

Chapter 183: Surprise in the Library

"So you're also students seeking to learn. Nice to meet you. It doesn't matter if you fail an assessment once. As long as you recognize your shortcomings and correct them, you can try again. My sister said that no one in this world is perfect, so you should face your own shortcomings."

"I wonder if the young lady's sister is the famous Mr. Lu?"

"That's right. Since you are here, if you don't mind, you can go to the library in our village to read some books. My sister said that everyone who comes here is a guest. As long as you are a student who comes here to study, you can read books here for free for a day.

But you can't take the books away. Of course, if you copy the books yourself, you can still buy paper and pens here, and you can take the copied books away with you."

A few people didn't expect there would be such a surprise. Although they didn't know what kind of books there were here, it would be nice to be able to read some of them if they hadn't read them before.

They were no longer polite and went directly to the library under Dahua's guidance. However, they were shocked to find that the library was so big.

There are quite a few books here, and most importantly, there are already students sitting here reading. Judging from their clothes, I'm afraid they are also students who come here to study.

After they bowed to each other, they immediately found a book and began to read it eagerly.

Before they knew it, it was dark, and they remembered that their families were still waiting for them at the foot of the mountain.

But this opportunity to read the book only lasted one day, and they really didn't want to leave.

When I looked up, I found that the library was already full of people. In addition to the students who failed their studies, there were also many children from the village.

Everyone tacitly agreed not to disturb others, and the only sound in the entire library was the sound of flipping books.

"Miss, we were not paying attention for a moment and we actually saw it now. Didn't it delay you?"

"It's okay. There are still many students wandering in the ocean of learning. You can contact your family first. If you have the opportunity, you can also spend money to come here to study."

Dahua also stayed there to answer the students' questions.

"I can actually pay to watch it here? That's great. It's a pity that I can only live in the county town or town, otherwise I really want to stay here."

“If you want to stay here, take a look at the sign over there. There are villagers in the village who have built B&Bs. They don’t cost much, but everything else is the same as in the county town.

If you want to read the book, the fee is written here. If it is calculated by day, it is two cents per day. If it is calculated by month, it is 50 cents per month.

"That's great! Why don't we just stay in the village and read books here every day? It will benefit us a lot. How about a month?"

"Okay, it's decided." The others agreed.

The villagers were very excited to welcome the first batch of residents. It was another source of income. There were so many benefits to having the academy built nearby.

Some villagers run homestays, some sell food, and some have thought of a business opportunity with no capital investment, so they go to the mountains to pick wild flowers and sell them to the students passing by.

Many children also started businesses to earn some money. They have made a lot of money after registering for these days.

Lu Linlang handed over the affairs of the academy to several teachers. The teachers jointly elected a principal and nominated Lu Linlang as the deputy principal of the academy.

During the spring plowing season, there has been plenty of rain this year, so rice planting can begin again.

After a rain, the village and farmland were filled with people working in the fields.

They were wearing straw raincoats, and no one felt annoyed by the coming of the rain. Instead, they were happy in their hearts.

The rice fields were filled with water, and the first batch of seedlings had grown up. Everyone was busy moving them into the fields.

A row of lines divides the rice into neat sections.

"Be careful, these are seeds that the boss got from overseas. You must plant them according to the boss's instructions."

What they are planting now is the rice variety that Lu Linlang found from overseas. They are planting it in the experimental field and have to record the growth status at all times.

"These peppers are also planted in rows according to the eggplant planting method. The number of rows should also be recorded every morning and evening. If there are insects, insecticide must be used immediately."

Lu Linlang and her team are explaining the precautions for growing peppers.

"We've noted it down, and several other farms have also planted it."

"Whether this year's harvest is good or not depends on this season's crops. Everyone should work hard and have a good harvest this year."

"Don't worry, owners. We all hope this year will be better."

Looking at the lush green fields makes me feel good.

The academy's enrollment was successfully completed, the first batch of students were enrolled, and the teachers began teaching.

There are both men and women in the academy. At the beginning, many people were not used to this way of life, but soon they no longer cared about the differences between men and women.

The girls' talent for reading quickly emerged, and they were able to answer the teacher's questions quickly many times.

The teachers had not expected these girls to be so smart, and they could not help but feel happy. As long as they were willing to study and could study well, the teachers would be happy to have another promising talent.

Everyone's attention also shifted from gender to academic pressure.

Classes for learning skills also have specialized cultural courses, but the teaching level and requirements of the courses are low.

It is also a rare happiness for the girls who come to learn a craft. They will use all their spare time to learn and ask others for advice.

They were reluctant to waste this opportunity to learn to read.

The library in Xishan Village has attracted many people from far and wide. They have all heard about the library, which has a large number of books and a wide variety of books. The cost of reading is low, and they also provide cheap pens, inkstones, and paper for copying books, which can be taken away.

There are also students from poor families who initially want to earn some money by copying books for rich students, and then use the money to read books.

However, at the beginning, because they felt guilty, they had to copy books secretly. Later, when they found that no one was watching, they relaxed a little.

Lu Linlang did not prohibit this kind of behavior. They also used their own abilities to make money. Although their family was poor, as long as they used reasonable means to make money, it could be regarded as a workaround.

In such a harmonious time, the letter from Yunyi arrived.

In the past six months, many things have happened in the capital and on the border. The Tatars on the border want to attack Daqi again for food.

However, the soldiers led by He Yue were not easy to deal with. The two sides had several conflicts, and the Tatars did not get any benefits.

Just as the Tatars were preparing to launch a desperate attack and rely on human shields to break through the city defenses of Daqi, Daqi sent envoys to negotiate with them.

The content of the negotiation was that Daqi would sell them grain at a high price and they would sign a ten-year non-aggression treaty.

If they are unwilling, then the two sides will start fighting. After all, the army of Daqi is not a pushover. If they would rather die than surrender, then they will fight to the death and not let the Tatars invade Daqi's territory again.

After much deliberation, the Tatars finally compromised. They had been short of food for a long time and had no other food. All the cattle and sheep they raised would be eaten up.

There won't be enough cubs next year and that will cause panic.

In February of this year, the Tatars and Daqi signed a treaty, and Daqi also had ten years of rest to allow the military and civilians to recuperate.
