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 himself again: "In two months at most, a shop 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 people, 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 don't dare to think about it.
The imperial court gave preferential treatment to the candidates, including free rent for two hundred acres. 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: "You will be our husband, so of course 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.
