The next day, Qin Xiao and his group accompanied Lu Wen's family to Pei County.
"I really don't know how to repay Mr. Qin's kindness!”
"If Mister doesn't mind, why don't you stay in this old man's residence for a few days to correct yourself before heading to Xianyang!”
Seeing Lu Wen's kind invitation, Qin Xiao immediately agreed.
"Then I'll accept it!"
Firstly, since he had already arrived at Sishui, he was not far from Xianyang, so he was not in a hurry.
Secondly, if he could use this opportunity to let the Lu Family's Eldest Young Lady stay away from the evil claws of Liu Ji, that ruffian, it would be the best!
After the two of them sat down and chatted, Lu Wen revealed his other purpose for this trip.
"Mr. Qin, you don't know!"
"This old man brought my family to Pei County not only to avoid the oppression of the powerful, but also to benefit my hometown.”
"Sir, what do you think is the most important thing for a place to prosper?”
Seeing Lu Wen throw out such a question, Qin Xiao did not hold back. After pondering for a while, he gave his answer.
"Talented."
"No matter how fertile the land is, if there are no talents who can cultivate it, it will become a wasteland sooner or later.”
"No matter how much money the imperial court gives, if there are no talents who can properly safeguard and use it, even ten thousand baht or a hundred thousand baht will not be enough!”
Hearing Qin Xiao's words, Lu Wen nodded his head in approval. He could not help but sigh in his heart. The younger generation is formidable!
"Mister is right. This old man also thinks so.”
"Thus, this old man returned to his hometown to open a school so that my Pei County can have a few more talents who can serve Great Qin!”
"What a pity!"
Upon hearing Lu Wen's sudden change in tone and his sigh, Qin Xiao's lips twitched.
You old brat, if you want me to give you an idea, just say it. Why are you talking about the cause and effect here…
"If you have any difficulties, please tell me.”
"If I have a way, I will tell you everything I know.”
Hearing this, the worry on Lu Wen's face instantly disappeared, and he smiled.
"Since Mr. Qin said so, this old man can rest assured!”
"To be honest, although this old man has quite a lot of money, the expenses of opening a school are extremely huge!”
"The venue, the tools, the teacher…If I count all these, I'm going bankrupt!”
Hearing Lu Wen's words, Qin Xiao immediately smiled. He already had an idea in his heart.
For a famous country squire like Lu Wen, the method of raising money was extremely simple!
"What's so difficult about that?"
"The old mister's reputation in Pei County must be publicly acknowledged by all the villages.”
"Now that the old sir is going to open a school, it's a great thing. I think the rich neighbors will be willing to help.”
"And the wealthiest ones are naturally merchants!”
Lu Wen almost vomited blood when he heard that!
So you thought for a long time and came up with such an idea?
Could it be that he was an old man who had to beg in front of those merchants?
Seeing Lu Wen's constipated expression, Qin Xiao could not help but feel that it was a little funny and added.
"Of course, it's said that there's no business without treachery. It's really impossible for them to take out money for no reason.”
"Therefore, I suggest that you erect a monument in front of the school gate!”
To put it bluntly, this method was exactly the same as the Good Samaritan Monument in Xianyang!
"The bursary stele?"
Hearing these three novel words, Lu Wen's interest was immediately piqued, and he looked at Qin Xiao with rapt attention.
"The so-called Scholarship Monument is to engrave the names of the businessmen who sponsor the school on it for future generations to admire.”
"The more money you donate, the higher the name on the monument will be, and the bigger it will be!”
When Lu Wen heard this, he immediately understood Qin Xiao's intentions!
That was to let these merchants use money to exchange for fame!
People in China had always paid attention to their reputation, especially in a small place like Pei County. The good or bad reputation of a family could make everyone talk about it with relish!
Those businessmen who had made a fortune from doing business, although they were rich, had never had the opportunity to gain fame...
And the establishment of this bursary monument had greatly increased their reputation!
Hearing this, Lu Wen's eyes widened a little. He could not help but clap his hands repeatedly and praise Qin Xiao endlessly!
"Mr. Qin's method is really divine. If this old man were to do it, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to think of it for half my life!”
"If this school is really built, no matter what, Mister Qin's name must be engraved at the top!”
Without waiting for Qin Xiao to say anything, Lu Wen hurriedly waved his hand and called out to his left and right.
"All of you, do as Mr. Qin says. Hurry!”
"If there's a chance in the future, learn a little from Mr. Qin. It'll be enough for a lifetime!”
"Here!"
……
After using Qin Xiao's method, the next day, a brand new bursary monument was erected at the entrance of the school that was about to open!
For a time, Pei County's rich merchants, such as Zhang San, Li Si, Wang Er Ma Zi, all came to support them.
They might not be genuinely eager to learn, but they did not waste their money by showing off in front of the villagers…
Looking at these fierce-looking merchants, although Lu Wen felt a little disdainful, he still welcomed them with a smile. After all, he did not want to offend his sugar daddy!
However!
When Qin Xiao appeared, a true smile appeared on Lu Wen's face!
"Mr. Qin is here!"
Qin Xiao cupped his hands in greeting when he saw Lu Wen quickly come over to welcome him. He looked quite happy.
"Pei County's first school opened, and Old Mister is my good friend, how could I not come?”
"I wonder if everything is going well on Old Mister's side?”
Lu Wen's polite words drew a sigh from him…
"Mr. Qin, you don't know!"
"Originally, everything had been purchased. However, when I heard that this old man was going to open a school, the price of bamboo in the vicinity suddenly soared.”
Qin Xiao was also slightly stunned when he heard that.
These bamboo slips were Great Qin's only record carriers, and they were quite expensive. However, they were still slightly cheaper than beast skins…
If only he had paper now. It would be much more convenient to write down records in the future…
Thinking up to here, Qin Xiao immediately slapped his head, and an idea flashed!
"Why didn't I think of that?"
"Great Qin doesn't have paper, but I'm a person from the later generations. Do you think I don't know how to make paper?”
Thinking of this, Qin Xiao immediately smiled again, looking confident.
"Old sir, don't worry!"
"Those who sell bamboo and bamboo slips can raise their prices however they want. We don't want them!”
Hearing this, not only Lu Wen, but everyone present could not help but change their expressions!
If you don't want the bamboo slips, how are you going to open your school?
Seeing everyone's puzzled expressions, Qin Xiao was not in a hurry to answer. He only smiled mysteriously.
"When the time comes, I will naturally give the school a big gift!”
