Chapter 238: Quarrel
This news spread within the White Dragon Envoy.
"The Lord of Li'an County really had the foresight to teach the people under his rule how to read..."
"If that person doesn't know how to read, it might not be so easy to find him."
Bailong made everyone sigh.
Previously, many aristocratic families saw the joke of Baron Yun's family and felt that it was nonsense for them to teach the common people how to read and write.
Now it seems that this move was extremely unexpected.
Because this person disappeared quite mysteriously and was taken to the northwest, which may have been a plot by the barbarians, so even if he was found, the case was not publicized to the outside world.
The White Dragon Envoy from the government informed him that he would send a few servants to take care of the craftsman in the future, so this kind of thing would definitely not happen.
When Bailongshi was talking about this, Yu Huayi was also present. Hearing these words, his face darkened a bit.
This thing should be foolproof, but who would have thought that the craftsman could still write the name.
But no matter how uncomfortable Yu Huayi felt, there was nothing he could do about it. There were many people around Yuntao, who protected her tightly. Besides, Yuntao was not in Nantong now, so it would be very difficult for him to make a move.
Yun Tao didn't know what Yu Huayi was thinking.
Autumn harvest means a good harvest for the year. In addition to worrying about next year's spring plowing, Yuntao also has to worry about this year's New Year issues.
Then he took the new green and new pistils, changed into simple clothes and went to the street.
Wei Litao hid among the crowd with his own men, protecting Yuntao not far away.
The first-year apprentices have already completed their studies, and many craftsmen responsible for building new houses in the county were among the first batch of apprentices.
Among them, those who have learned well and have good craftsmanship stay in the school. On the one hand, they supervise the progress of the workers on the construction site and provide them with guidance. On the other hand, they are waiting to recruit new craftsmen next year.
Apart from the paper mill, the most popular industries in Li'an are the canning factory and the spinning mill.
The straw paper in Li'an is cheap, and a steady stream of businessmen come here to buy the straw paper and ship it to other counties.
The sales of gauze are also good. Even if the weather is cold and there are no mosquitoes, screens are very useful and many people in the south will have them.
Someone behind said that the screen window could not stop the mosquitoes in the house, so Yuntao thoughtfully asked the people below to make a mosquito net.
This year's mosquito net sales have just opened up and it's autumn, but that doesn't stop people from buying mosquito nets at all.
Those who buy these are people who are not short of money.
Merchants traveled far and wide to transport things that cost more than a dozen yuan and turned them into dozens of yuan or hundreds of yuan, and they were all happy with their luck.
Some people are smart and know that the sales volume of gauze is currently small and the supply is large, and they will not be able to wait in line to buy it next summer, so they have the idea of stocking up.
It was so boring to eat some dry food on the way back and forth.
Now that canned pickles are out, how about taking a can with you to eat on the road?
There are also canned fruits. If they have enough money left, they will buy a few cans and resell them to other places, where they can make a lot of profits.
As for those wealthy people who came to Li'an to seek immortality, they had no shortage of money. In ancient times, the journey was long and hard, so it was just right to bring a few cans of your favorite pickles to eat on the way.
I took it back to visit relatives and friends and gave it to them. They said it was Li'an's pickles that were soaked in fairy spirit. It was a good gift.
The main thing is that the taste of these pickles is really good, and they come in different varieties.
There are less condiments these days. Using Li'an pickles with soup or steamed cakes will give you a lot more flavor in your mouth.
Yuntao looked at the endless stream of merchants on the street and the team of craftsmen carrying heavy objects, and finally regained the feeling of her busy world.
A group of people were strolling around and passing by the entrance of an alley. They heard the discussion inside, and it seemed that someone was calling the name of the head of Li'an County.
Yuntao was curious, so she took two maids and walked over to the corner to listen.
"...No matter how good the county master's daughter is at school, you still have to get married!"
"A man who studies can become an official or prime minister. No matter how good you are at studying, do you still expect the county boss to grant you an official title?"
"... Marrying people is..."
A woman's cry and a man's roar sounded from behind, and the words were broken into pieces.
"...Look at the women who entered the factory, each and every one of them even ignored their young children. You..."
Yuntao stood in the corner and listened for a while, and got a rough idea of the conversation among the people in the courtyard.
They were talking about girls' schools and workshops.
She gave a lot of learning opportunities to women, letting them learn to read and work, hoping that they could live independently.
But this idea is not fully accepted in this era.
Yuntao didn't think they said anything wrong. She reflected on it and found that there was indeed something wrong with her academy.
Only those women with top grades can come to work as her assistants. Other women, even if they are educated and literate, will eventually have to marry and raise children.
For example, the elders in this hospital feel that their daughter has wasted her years by going to school.
As a female worker, even if she is paid, she cannot take care of the elderly and children at home. She is busy working all day long, which also causes criticism from her family members.
"County Lord, it's not easy for a woman to make a living and support herself. The County Lord has given many preferential treatment to the women in the county, so why bother with other people's trivial matters?" Xinrui advised.
You must know that in the capital, it is difficult for young women to find a job. Most of them sell themselves into slavery and dedicate their whole lives.
Some shops will hire older women, but they are only a minority.
"What they said is not unreasonable, but what I did was not appropriate enough." Yuntao thought.
If all the workers recruited were men, their elders would certainly not complain, and would even think that marrying their daughter to such a capable man would be an excellent marriage.
There are many people there who say that reading is useless, even here.
Therefore, it is necessary to give women more support.
"You think, if a woman relies on her own ability to buy a yard and support herself, can she do more?" Yuntao said, looking up at the blue sky.
Xinlu and Xinrui looked at each other with shock in their hearts.
From their point of view, the county boss had already obtained enough things for the women of Li'an.
What else does the county leader want to do?
Maybe it was because she heard these words on the street that she woke up a lot, or maybe she was extra tired today and rested directly after dinner.
In the past, Yuntao always lit a candle and read a book for a while.
Xinlv and Xinrui returned to their residence side by side and lit the candles on the table.
"The county chief must have been sad after hearing what was said in the small courtyard today." Xin Rui said, looking sad.
"The county master has done so much for the people of Li'an, but they are so ungrateful..."
Yuntao's daily busy schedule is all visible.
She came from the palace and had seen and heard a lot. The nobles and nobles did not take the lives of the common people as their own. As slaves, they could feel the same way.
After coming to the county lord's side, I watched her working hard for the people of Li'an every day.
