There is something important. Is it necessary to establish a new team and recruit people?
Now most families in the village have people working under Wang Yuan.
But most of them live in a family. Even though they make a lot of money, they can only ensure food and clothing.
Only a family of two can have enough food and clothing, and can afford to be sick even if they are sick!
If you have a family of three, you can start planning to build a house with tiles and buy some land.
Wang Yuan smiled and said: "I'm going to set up a school in the village, a night school!"
Many villagers are curious: "What is school, night school?"
Wang Yuan explained: "It's almost the same as a private school! But there is a difference. It's a place where children study in school, and a place where adults study in night school. Anyone who is willing to study can come if the fishing team pays!"
The stall is getting bigger and bigger, and none of his employees can read. He and Li Shihan are the only ones keeping accounts.
I don't feel at ease when looking for outsiders. There are too many secrets here and they can easily be leaked.
Cultivate your own people, simple reading, writing and arithmetic, it can be used for a year and a half.
"Private school!"
"Let the dolls read!"
"Let us learn to read too!"
The villagers were excited.
Scholars with great achievements have a high status. Who doesn’t want to study and become an official?
But studying is very expensive. If you don’t study with a teacher, you will also consume pen, ink, paper and inkstones!
In the past, if the family could not afford food, how could they still have money to send their children to study?
Now that the fishing team is funding the school's night classes, they are naturally happy!
However, some people are puzzled and say: "It's okay to set up a school for children to study, but why do we set up a night school for adults to study? We are so old, it is useless to study. The hair of the patriarch has turned white, and even the children can't pass the exam!"
Many people nodded!
You should start reading as early as possible. Children have good memory, but adults have poor memory.
"Huhuhu..."
Outside the courtyard wall, Wang Bizhong, who had become a negative example, blew his beard and stared in anger.
A bunch of ignorant country bumpkins, do they know what the imperial examination is?
The reason why I am no longer as good as a boy is not because I am not good at learning, but because I am cheating in the imperial examination and the examiner is not knowledgeable.
Wang Yuan changed the subject: "Let me tell you another thing, I got the salt banknotes from Fu County. From now on, we will sell the salt in Fu County!"
boom!
The king will be stunned.
Is there smoke coming out of Mingtan's ancestral tomb? He just wiped out the Sanhu Village and became a rich county salt merchant!
"What is a salt banknote!"
"Those who sell salt with salt banknotes are official salt, and those who sell without salt banknotes are private salt. The government will arrest people!"
"Brother Yuan is so talented that he actually became a salt merchant!"
"In the future we can buy salt without sand!"
The villagers are excited again!
The core members Wang Hanshan, Dahu, Wang Sihai, Wang Ergou, Wang Qingshan, and Wang Xiaoshan all raised their lips. They had known it for a long time.
Only my uncle, Zhao Qinghe, Erhu and Guo Cang smiled reluctantly!
They know the big pits in the salt banknotes, and they know even more about the difficulties Wang Yuan faces!
However, on the way back, Wang Yuan told them not to talk about this.
Wang Yuan raised his hands and the whole place fell silent. He smiled and said: "I tell you this not to show off, but to let everyone understand that our business is getting bigger and bigger, and we need more and more manpower. In the future, we will not only do If you are alive, you still need the shopkeeper and the accounting clerk."
"right!"
The villagers nodded repeatedly.
Now there are almost a hundred people in the fishing team, fish selling team, soap team, and purchasing team!
You can also build a house in the village, buy bricks, and find masons and carpenters!
Wang Hanshan, who is busy with big and small things all day long, has no time to eat all day long!
Wang Yuan said slowly: "As a shopkeeper, if you don't know how to read, how can you sign a contract with others? As a bookkeeper, if you don't know how to write and calculate accounts, how can you keep accounts and pay wages! I want to recruit outsiders to take care of everyone. Everyone is not used to it, so I don't worry. .If we don’t move, it won’t be enough for Shihan and I to split it in half!”
"Yes, we can't recruit outsiders. They don't have the same goals as us!"
"You can't always leave it to Brother Yuan or Shihan to sign deeds or keep accounts. How can any employer do these things?"
"We should learn to read and write!"
"But that takes a long time to learn. In fact, in our village, the patriarch can also write and calculate!"
"Forget it, the patriarch has been looking down on others all day long, so how can he do anything with us!"
"Yes, the patriarch is a scholar. He looks down on us mud-legged people and won't be willing to do it!"
"Go to night school, let's go to night school!"
"Can we learn it well?"
The villagers were talking a lot!
Outside the hospital, Wang Bizhong frowned: Who said I don’t want to!
Even the newly appointed county magistrate, who had met the emperor's second-ranking scholar, called himself a student in front of Mingtan!
He is a scholar who has not even passed the Tongsheng exam, so it doesn't matter if he bows his head in front of Mingtan!
If Mingtan says a word now, he will immediately be willing to come out and assist him in his work.
“Where there’s a will, there’s a way!”
Wang Yuan looked at everyone: "As long as everyone is willing to work hard, there is nothing that can't be learned. We don't want to learn too much. We will learn one word a day, 365 words a year. We don't want everyone to take the imperial examination. We need everyone to learn to communicate with others.
Deeds, arithmetic-related things, and things that can be used as an accountant or shopkeeper are enough."
Upon hearing this, the villagers gained some confidence. After all, the requirements are not high!
Wang Yuan encouraged him again: "In two months at most, a store will be opened in the county. Whoever can read more words and do calculations well will be asked to be the shopkeeper or Mr. Accountant. The salary, bonus, and shopkeeper's salary
Just like the captain, the cashier is the same as the deputy captain."
"Captain has four coins!"
"Vice Captain Three Guans of Money!"
"Plus bonus!"
"Brother Yuan, don't worry, we will definitely learn to read and count!"
Many villagers had red eyes.
A villager asked urgently: "Brother Yuan, have you found a teacher? When will we go to school?"
"Originally I wanted to teach you personally, but I have to go out for something recently, so let Shihan teach you. She doesn't need to be inferior to me in her knowledge!"
Wang Yuan waved his hand and pointed toward the room.
Li Shihan blushed and stood up: There are differences between men and women, so it's okay for her to teach a group of children; she is reluctant to teach these adult men, but her husband wants to train manpower, so naturally she will give her full support!
The villagers looked at Li Shihan, and many of them lowered their heads, a little embarrassed!
Let a woman teach you, they can't accept it!
"Yuan'er, this can't work!"
The uncle stepped forward, leaned into his ear and said, "Shihan is a girl. It's okay to let her teach the children. But let her teach these men. If word spreads, there will be gossip."
Wang Hanshan also stood up: "Xiao Yuan, please pay for a gentleman, we can afford it now!"
"I haven't thought about this well enough. Then Uncle Shanshan, go and ask a gentleman to teach you!"
Wang Yuan smiled apologetically: "Shihan and I will teach the children ourselves!"
"good!"
The villagers applauded warmly!
Wang Hanshan asked again: "How much does it cost to ask a gentleman to pay for it?"
Wang Yuan pondered slightly: "It depends on the talent of the gentleman. If you hire a scholar, you will be treated like a captain. If you hire a young student, you will be treated like a captain. If you hire a scholar who can write and calculate, you will be treated like a vice captain!"
As for lifting people, I dare not think about it.
The imperial court gave preferential treatment to the candidates, including two hundred acres of rent-free. There were only poor scholars and no poor candidates.
Outside the wall, Wang Bizhong heard his breathing quicken: "The deputy captain's salary is three guans per month, plus three guans as a bonus. Six guans is a lot, which is more than 70 guans a year. This, this, if I stand up
, will Mingtan want me? If not, it would be a shame."
While he was hesitating, someone suddenly opened the door and rushed into the courtyard: "Brother Yuan, let me be your teacher. Although I can't pass the Tongsheng examination, I can also write and do calculations. I can read more than a thousand characters and write books."
I will also be memorized a few books!”
"Bato!"
Looking at the handsome young man who volunteered, Wang Yuan raised his lips and said with a smile: "If you become our husband, it won't be a problem, but will your father agree?"
This is Wang Bidou, Wang Bizhong's son, who is two years younger than him and did not do well in the imperial examination.
But if you can write and do calculations, I can teach you how to write deeds. If you can’t keep accounts, that’s no problem.
Bastard Badou raised his head: "I still want to teach him even if he doesn't agree. Your treatment is so good that I can't find him even if I hold a lantern. There is no hope for me to take the imperial examination!"
"All right!"
Wang Yuan nodded and smiled: "Go back and discuss it with your father. As long as he doesn't object to causing trouble, you will be the first gentleman in Dawang Village!"
"Thank you, Brother Yuan!"
Bastard Badou shouted with joy and rushed out of the yard: "Dad, I am now a husband. I will be paid as deputy captain. I will receive three wages a month and maybe a bonus."
Unexpectedly, Wang Bi was slapped in the face and said: "Naughty son, your little knowledge was not all taught by me. You don't know how many pounds or taels you have, and you dare to mislead others!"
Bastard Badou was stunned: "But daddy, Brother Yuan said that you can only pass the imperial examination if you can write and do arithmetic, but don't teach academics!"
Wang Bizhong looked serious: "That won't work either!"
Bastard Badou said with a grimace: "But it would be a pity to lose such a good job!"
Wang Bizhong put his hands behind his back: "No need to throw it away, I will go for you for my father!"
"Well!"
Bastard Badou was confused: "Then, what should I do?"
Hahaha!
The conversation between father and son was transmitted into the courtyard, causing an uproar!
Wang Yuan raised the corners of his lips slightly, raised his hand to suppress his laughter, turned around and said with a smile: "Uncle, Qinghe, what do you think of Dawang Village? Are you willing to move here?"
"willing!"
Zhao Qinghe's pretty face turned red.
Dawang Village gave her a feeling she had never experienced before, warm, safe and hopeful.
My cousin-in-law was very nice to her again!
"You make the arrangements, uncle will listen to you!"
The uncle grinned.
I really didn't expect that my nephew would build such a big business in Dawang Village.
Another person is here, he is his uncle, how can he rest assured!
The betrothal gift from Widow Hua has also been sent, so things can be done when the day comes.
I'll take it over when the time comes.
"good!"
Wang Yuan immediately said: "From today on, we will set up another blacksmith team and a salt sales team. My uncle will be the captain of the blacksmith team and recruit ten apprentices. Guo Cang will be the captain of the salt sales team and recruit fifty members. The salt sales team will be with
Just like the fish sales team, they all need to practice martial arts training. Also, Uncle Shanshan, hurry up and build eight blue brick houses for my uncle first. He found my aunt for me, and when she comes, she will give people a new house to live in!"
"Hahaha!"
The villagers burst into laughter!
Uncle's face is red!
The meeting is over, wash up and go to bed!
Wang Yuan and Li Shihan slept in the east room, Zhao Qinghe slept in the west room, and Uncle Yue kept watch in the front room.
The couple got into bed.
"Husband, how long will it take to get to Jiushan County this time?"
"It can take as long as a month, or as short as half a month. Come back as soon as you finish the work!"
"Husband, be careful on the road and bring more people with you. The world is not safe now!"
"I will!"
"Husband, have you met Hu Mengying in the county town?"
"Did that girl Qinghe tell you?"
"Um!"
"What's wrong?"
"If a husband wants to take a concubine, he should find a girl from another family. Hu Mengying can't do it. Although she is beautiful, she has three husbands, so it's not safe!"
"Taking a concubine? You are thinking wildly again. It seems I need to teach you a lesson!"
"Ah, husband, slave, it's wrong..."
In the west room, Zhao Qinghe had his ears covered with quilt, his face was red, his ears were flushed, and his whole body was burning hot.
