"You little guys are good at finding things for me to do." Wang Jinhe said with a smile, shaking his head
"Isn't this bad, mother?"

"It's good to be like this. It can let those young masters experience the sufferings of the world."
"Mom is right."
Since they had to bring the students along, after the students told their families, Wang Jinhe and his family took the children and left Xiejia Village for Linjiang Town in advance.
All the children were very excited and happy along the way, and everyone was chattering as if they had endless things to say.
They spent two days and two nights, one day they stayed in a restaurant and the other day they slept outdoors.
Set up your own tent and try to cook.
This was a very novel experience for everyone.
After arriving at Linjiang Town, all the students clearly felt that the people in the town seemed very happy.
"Mom and the others are so happy." Xiaozhi looked at the people at noon and said curiously.
"Yes, everyone is very happy. Everyone seems to have a happy smile on their face."

The children nearby heard what Xiaozhi and Xiaobao said and turned to look at the people around them. Really, everyone had a faint smile on their face, as if they had no worries.
Some people couldn't help but ask curiously: "Why are they so happy?"
"Yeah, they don't seem to have any troubles."
"Tomorrow you will know why they are so happy." The teacher did not tell them the answer directly, but kept it a secret.
Nan Qiao looked at so many little kids. Even though she loved children, she felt a headache after hearing them talking to her one by one.
Nan Qiao stood beside Su Yu and said helplessly: "Brother Yu, these little guys are too noisy."
Wang Jinhe heard Nanqiao complaining to Su Yu and asked with amusement: "Don't you like children?"
"I do like children, but when there are too many children and they all talk too much, it's really too noisy." If I had known this would happen, I would rather stay in Xiejia Village. Now it seems that Luo Hou and the others are the smartest.
Did they know that this would be the case this time, and that’s why they refused to come out no matter what
As soon as he thought about this, Nan Qiaoxian felt sick: "Brother Yu, I feel like I was cheated by those guys."
Su Yu gave Nan Qiao a slap: "Didn't they tell you not to come? You were the one who insisted on coming here, why do you feel disgusted now?"
Nan Qiao stopped talking immediately. Luo Yan had indeed told him that.
Nan Qiao never made trouble again after that.
The next day, all the children got up early, ready to see what would happen that day.
Wang Jinhe originally planned to have the people deliver the cotton to the county government office, but later she thought that the cotton area was too large and it would be troublesome to transport it, so when her people came, she notified them to tell the county magistrate to tell the people to collect it at the county government office.
Early this morning, Wang Jinhe and his wife took a group of children to watch them harvest cotton.
It had already started when they arrived.
Looking at the people wearing patched clothes, their hands were shaking after receiving the money.
"Thank you, county lady, for leading us to grow cotton." The first cotton grower had tears in his eyes after receiving the money.
Their family had a lot of dry land, and they planted ten acres of cotton and harvested a total of 7,000 kilograms, which they sold for more than 50 taels of silver. This was money they might not be able to earn in ten years, but they made the money year after year in just a few years.

The people who came to watch were all envious, but they also knew that their family had planted a lot.
People were very happy to think that their cotton could be sold soon.
The children watched for many days in a row. One of the children whose family was engaged in business asked in confusion, "Is fifty taels of silver a lot?"
He earns more than that in a month, so how can they be so happy
"A lot." The civilian children nodded seriously.
"Your family is in business and you are a rich young master, so you can't understand this feeling. This fifty-plus taels of silver may not be earned by an ordinary family in ten years. My family also planted cotton today, and my grandparents' family has flowers. Our family has a good life because of the county lady. Before the county lady planted high-yield crops and took us to plant cotton, we sometimes couldn't even have enough food to eat."
"That's right. The reason why we can go to the academy is not only because the county lord's academy has lower tuition fees for common people like us, but also because our families finally have some spare money because of the county lord. That's why we can sit in the academy and study with you."
"When I was in school, I thought that if I could become an official, I would make the people's lives better and better like the county lady. If I couldn't become an official, I would help the county lady and thank her for making our lives better and better."
"I think the same way. The county lady is our role model. She saved many people from starvation and gave many people a new life. Now there are still many people in Xuan Country who cannot make a lot of money. I must study hard in school now. When I can become an official in the future, I must make sure that all the people in my place can make money and live a good life like these people."
Many children from ordinary families suddenly had their own ideas, only those from wealthy families were still a little confused.
Wang Jinhe saw them like this and smiled and said, "You should think carefully about why you are studying. Are you just listening to your parents and thinking that studying can bring honor to your family? Or is it because you want to be an official, or do you want to do something else?"
What do you want to do
For a moment, all the children fell silent.
Seeing their bewildered looks, Wang Jinhe felt that the best group of children would definitely achieve great things in the future.
"You don't have to rush to give an answer. You have plenty of time to think about it."
"You can be an official, a businessman, a military commander, a teacher, or a musician or painter. All of these are possible."
"Merchants have the lowest status. Why does the county lady say that being a merchant is also okay?"
"Why do merchants have the lowest status? Because of the four classes of scholars, farmers, merchants and artisans? But I don't think so. There is no distinction between high and low professions. As long as you don't break the law or do anything that harms the world, why can't you be a merchant? If there are no merchants, who will sell the things that the people grow?"
"If there were no merchants and we grew our own crops, would we have such a complete range of things at home?"
"People grow food and silkworms to keep people from starving. Merchants travel around to bring people different things from other places. If there are no workers, can the merchants' shops continue to operate? As for being an official, it is to maintain the operation of a country. Maybe my explanation is different from your understanding, but there is only one thing I want to tell you."

"You can do what you are supposed to do in your position. As long as you have a clear conscience and do not harm others, you can do anything."
The Master and Su Yu both looked at Wang Jinhe thoughtfully. What she said might not be comprehensive but they could not say that Wang Jinhe was wrong.
