Su Hao talked with the students for nearly an hour. In addition to building a reservoir, he also introduced some other things the workshop is preparing to do recently, which is the ten major things he said to the workhouse yamen runners. These things include mining coal mines, firing lime, smelting iron, developing new agricultural tools, transforming low-yield cold water fields, etc. All of these things are already done by someone nowadays, but Su Hao has put forward technical ideas to improve these work.

These students are usually more active in their minds. In addition to the Four Books and Five Classics, they often dabble in some ancient scientific and technological books, such as "Qi Min Yaoshu", "Wu Jing Zong Yao", "Meng Xi Bi Tan", etc., and have some understanding of various technologies. Some students are doing business or doing handicrafts at home, and have rich practical experience in these aspects.

The technology mentioned by Su Hao is both ahead of this era and has practical feasibility, making the students feel unbearable and want to follow Su Hao to do things immediately and see with their own eyes what kind of miracles these wonderful ideas can create in reality.

While speaking, Su Hao answered the questions raised by the students, and observed each student, analyzed their respective abilities and tendencies, and calculated how they could use these people in the future:

Ma Yu, the head of the county examination, has a strong learning ability and a deep interest in science and technology. If it can be effectively trained and trained, it will not be difficult to become a science and technology expert in the future;

Jiang Yida was born in a wealthy business family, passionate and unrestrained, adventurous, and suitable for some pioneering jobs;

Luo Yuqing, whose courtesy name is Songsheng, has a dyeing workshop at home. He is meticulous and has a very sensitive attitude towards chemistry;

Tan Xue, whose courtesy name is Bingnan, is a farmer. He is a little clever and has a strong sense of fame and fortune. Perhaps he has little hope of making a fortune through the imperial examination, so he wants to learn something from Western technology with Su Hao in order to find a different approach;

...

Su Hao does not demand that everyone is perfect. He believes that whether a person is useful or whether it is available depends mainly on whether the leader knows people and is good at responsibilities. If you choose the right person to do the right thing, the things can be done, and the people who do things will be trained and improved in the process. Su Hao believes that the career he planned in the workshop can provide every student with a broad stage, allowing them to fully display their intelligence and talents.

"Dear brothers, after some communication, I felt enlightened and became more confident in the workplace. Let's do this, let's go back and discuss with my family today. If the family agrees, and you are interested in coming to support me, then we will get together here tomorrow and discuss the steps for doing things. What do you think?" Su Hao said to everyone.

"Brother Gaizhi, we are all idle people. No matter what we do, our family will not interfere. Brother Gaizhi will be relieved." Jiang Yida said to Su Hao with a smile.

Jiang Yida is a playboy at home, and he really doesn't need to discuss anything with his family, but other students are different, so everyone sneered at Jiang Yida's expression.

Ma Yu said: "I'm afraid everyone can't agree with Brother Jingxi's words. I think all classmates must discuss with their families for such a big thing. In addition, everyone is a student of the academy. If you want to go to the workshop with Brother Jie, you have to report the teaching and instruction no matter what, right?"

"I'll go and say it together with Teacher Wu. If he agrees, let him inform the two mentors, so that there will be no obstacles for everyone." Su Hao said.

Luo Yuqing said: "Brother Gaizhi, you went to the teacher to tell him to take our more than a dozen students to do things. I am afraid the teacher may not agree, right? Especially for a talented person like Brother Duwen, Wu will not be willing to let go."

Su Hao said: "Don't worry, everyone, Teacher Wu owes me a favor. I'll ask him for someone, and he can't let him go. If he doesn't let him go, don't blame me for being rude..."

Looking at Su Hao's arrogant expression, everyone burst into laughter. They knew that Su Hao and Wu Zhicheng had a very close relationship. In addition, Su Hao himself was recruiting people on behalf of the county government, so I guess there was no resistance to Wu Zhicheng.

Saying goodbye to the students, Su Hao returned to the teaching office again to ask for Wu Zhicheng. The old servant who was holding the door smiled and said to Su Hao, "Sir Su, my old man is attacking books in the study. He has already given instructions and said that he would not see a foreign guest."

"Go and tell him, I'm not a foreigner." Su Hao replied.

"Uh..." The old servant was choked. He was about to say that Su Hao was a foreign guest. He remembered that Wu Zhicheng had once told everyone to be polite to Su Hao and not to make things difficult for him. He stammered and said, "Master Su, I will not dare to disturb my old servant. If you have any problems, please give me a reply."

Su Hao knew that Wu Zhicheng must be thinking hard at the junior high school textbooks he wrote, and he couldn't help but feel funny. He found a piece of paper, took out a charcoal pen from his sleeve, wrote a few strokes on it, and then handed it to the old servant, saying, "Then please give this to your husband and tell him that if he doesn't come out to see me within half a quarter of an hour, I will never tell him the answer to this question."

The old servant took the paper that Su Hao wrote and ran quickly to Wu Zhicheng's study in the back hall of the Teaching Office. Su Hao stood at the door of the Teaching Office and counted the numbers with great enthusiasm. As expected, before he could count to 50, he heard Wu Zhicheng running out from behind with small steps.

"Oh, change it, why are you staying at the door? I'm rude and rude."

Su Hao smiled and said, "There is no way. Your disciple said you didn't see a foreign guest. I said I am not a foreign guest. Your disciple doesn't believe it. What can I do?"

Wu Zhicheng glared at the old servant in a fake manner and scolded, "I remember from now on, Master Su is not considered an outsider, do you understand?"

"I understand." The old servant replied respectfully.

After Wu Zhicheng finished coaching the old servant, he turned around and invited Su Hao to sit in the house. After the guest and host were seated, Su Hao said, "Mr. Wu, I'm here to find you. I want to ask Mr. for help."

"What's the matter?"

"I want to borrow a few students from Teacher Wu for use."

"What kind of student do you want to borrow?" Wu Zhicheng was still immersed in mathematics, physics and chemistry, and did not get into his role for a while, and was confused about Su Hao's problems.

Su Hao took out a list and handed it to Wu Zhicheng, and then said, "I want to borrow the students on this list to work in the workshop for a while. I also ask Teacher Wu to agree."

Wu Zhicheng took the list casually, glanced at it, and jumped up like he was being stepped on his tail: "It's outrageous. These people are the essence of my academy. I am preparing to focus on cultivating them. I will go to the provincial examination next year. How can I send them to a dirty place like the county government!"

"Teacher Wu, wouldn't we point at the monk like this and scold the bald donkey?" Su Hao reminded him with his nose not his nose, his eyes not his eyes.

"Huh?" Wu Zhicheng was stunned, and then thought that Su Hao was from the county government office. The words he said just now also scolded Su Hao. However, he did not think there was anything wrong with what he said, he said to Su Hao:

"In fact, I always want to tell you that once your errand is finished, you should quit your position as a master and study hard in the academy. In the future, you can also use your knowledge to serve the country. Taizu said that the filth and dirt in the yamen is not a prejudice. If you immerse yourself in the yamen for a long time, you will ruin your future."

Su Hao said: "Mr. Wu's kindness is appreciated by the students. However, students still have some things they want to do now, and these things can be reported to the country and helped the people. Students think that it is not only the only way to take the exam to become an official can serve the country. Is it also a way to serve the country when digging wells and resisting droughts?"

Wu Zhicheng said: "I support the well digging. But the well digging is over now. What else do you have to delay the future of my students?"

Su Hao said: "Students want to do a lot of things. If everything can be done, it will bring great benefits to the people. I borrowed these students from my husband to help them help students achieve this."

"Can you tell me something?" Wu Zhicheng said.

Su Hao said: "The simplest thing is Mr. Wu. Can you tell me that there are a large number of cold water fields in the rural areas of our county, and the output is extremely low?"

"Of course I know!" Wu Zhicheng said. Agriculture was the most important industry in ancient times, and any great scholar attached great importance to farming. Even the emperor had to symbolically go to the farming hall to cultivate his land every year. Ordinary scholars naturally would not know nothing about farming.

Su Hao said: "Students want to use the power of workshops to comprehensively transform the low- and medium-yield cold water fields in the county, and at least 1,000 hectares of water will be renovated within a year. Is this an act of helping the world and benefiting the people?"

Wu Zhicheng said disdainfully: "Renovating cold water fields is nothing more than using the method of warming soil. People mostly use lime to warm soil, and use one pound of quicklime per acre of land. If you want to renovate 1,000 hectares of cold water fields, you need 10 million kilograms of quicklime. Where did so many lime come from?"

That's right, this old man is really clear about agriculture! Su Hao praised himself in his heart. He smiled and said, "This is the problem I want to solve. I borrowed these students from Teacher Wu just to help me burn 10 million kilograms of quicklime."
