Xianyu Infrastructure, I have a lot of troops in my hands
Chapter 34: Thoughts of the Clan
On a small building not far away, several big managers were looking forward to it, their eyes were sharp. "The soldiers guarding the city are not as disciplined as those here."
The honor and disgrace are shared, and survival and destruction are interdependent. This second-house lady is completely different from ordinary noble ladies.
Old Suotou took a sip of the fragrant tea and raised the corner of his mouth slightly: "You guys really have poor eyesight. How can a lady be compared with a young lady?" The managers looked at each other, not knowing what was going on.
A clever person held up a teacup and explained, "When a girl gets married, she will learn the ways of the harem, but the lady is different." Everyone suddenly realized that it was no wonder that the lady of the second room acted in a unique way, very different from ordinary ladies. How could an ordinary woman shoulder the weight of a room?
What's more, they have also heard that the Black Stone Guard is a bottomless pit. If any young man were to take care of it, he would be crying his heart out.
But the amazing thing is that although the second wife had a bad temper, she was never heard crying or begging for anything.
"Suotou, I heard at noon that several village heads and the accountant of South Street seemed to have been punished by the queen." Seeing that everyone's attention was attracted by him, he narrowed his eyes complacently.
"Hu Zi, speak quickly!" Everyone was chatting happily when he teased them and they were getting excited!
"Hurry up, you bastard. I'm going to work soon." Seeing that everyone was urging him, the man with the mustache said slowly, "I heard that the lady was not satisfied with their accounts and wanted them to teach their skills to the young ones below."
"Oh, this is taboo, it's strange they would agree to it!"
"Who said it wasn't? Several accountants confronted the queen on the spot." Everyone had different expressions on their faces.
"Everyone knows those troublemakers. I don't think Mr. Pan went there!" said someone who knew the inside story.
"Of course. I heard that Master Pan just handed over the shop to his apprentice and didn't take care of this matter." One of them glanced at Old Suotou. Old Pan and Suotou were together when they were young. Although one was a scholar and the other was a warrior, they both protected the second wife. Now the girl from the second wife has become aggressive, but the old man did not do anything to stop her.
The old locksmith shook his hand holding the key plate gently, with his eyes narrowed. It was unclear whether he heard what they said or not, but in his heart he was thinking about the visit to the old man yesterday.
"My lady is very capable, but I am old too. The guys are all worried about the new accounting law. I am old!" Looking at his old friend's gratified expression, he seemed to be more relieved about his retirement.
The boys who were supposed to wait three to five years before they could start their studies had only attended the charity school a few times, but they didn't expect that they didn't even need beads to do accounting. The charity school of the lady not only taught them literacy, but also the latest calculation methods. Adults could do addition and subtraction within 100 in less than three to five days.
"The few guys Xie Miao gave him employment letters are bachelors. They said they would sign for a few years just to finish their apprenticeship earlier. They said they could learn the new accounting method after passing the nine chapters."
After reading the new accounting law, Pan Laotou forced the children to sign the death contract. The next day, Miao Yatou gave them an iron plate, saying that they could use the plate to collect some rice and flour every month, which was said to be the pension for the meritorious officials of the second house.
Although it wasn't much, Old Man Pan took it with a smile. When the people delivering the benefits arrived, the daughters-in-law became much more obedient.
The old lock said disdainfully: "This girl Xian is quite cunning, and her methods of winning people's hearts are much better than her father's."
He raised his eyes to glance at the rooftop and added in his heart, I don’t know how long the old man will be so awkward.
Today is the day for academic examinations. Everyone was not as cheerful as usual during the meal. The examination method was announced before the meal. No one took it seriously at first, but when they heard that the top ten would get to eat meat, everyone's expressions changed.
"Oh my goodness, this chicken is so fat! I wonder which farm it comes from?" Zhu Zidan, the grandson of old man Pan, said with drooling.
His family was not bad, but they didn't have meat every day. Now the big pot of chicken was placed on the podium, which made the boys who hadn't had meat for several months very happy.
Zhu Zidan was confident in his heart. He came from a family of accountants and had listened to the teachings of adults and his father since he was a child. Even his toys when he was a child were Kongming locks and beads. How could these guys who could only read and write be compared to him?
Except ~ He glanced at the black-faced young man in the back row. That guy's name was Luo Yun. I heard that he was from Zhuangzi. His family conditions were not very good, but this guy was smart. Since he learned the new algorithm, he made rapid progress.
Even Miao Niang is optimistic about her, and it is said that she has signed a contract. Noticing Zhu Zidan's gaze, Luo Yun looked over, and the eyes of the two young men in the air were full of sparks.
Xie Xian looked at the passionate scene below with a smile, happy. This was the prize that Xie Miao had worked hard for two days to get! Looking at Cui Can who was eating with oil dripping from his mouth beside him, she pursed her lips slightly.
Degui wiped his son's mouth with a handkerchief in his hand, and complained madly in his heart, is his son poisoned? Hasn't he eaten chicken? It sounds good. The charity school was opened by the daughter of the Xie family these days, but it was others who contributed to the teaching.
Their own young boy, who was just starting to learn elementary school, was captured and forced to become a teacher for the little kids. Also, the two people working in the bookstore were bribed with just a meal and came to teach the servants in the school to read and write every day.
In his opinion, this playful teaching by the teacher brought about different changes in the second house's charity school.
As a hereditary servant of a great clan, he still had some vision. The teachings of the female monarch's school were not the Spring and Autumn University. Even the Three Hundred Thousand were only touched upon briefly, with the focus only on basic characters and mathematics.
At first he didn't take it seriously, but when he took a quick glance he found that these methods were simple and effective, and could be easily calculated by hand, in just two weeks.
The progress of mathematics has begun to lean towards multiplication and division. Most people stay at addition and subtraction. The top 20 outstanding students continue to teach more difficult ones, and new mathematical methods are taught later.
After less than half a month of training, the charity school entered the final assessment. Xie Xian took out all the account books of the second house over the past few years, set the time limit for those who signed the death deeds, and compiled the accounts according to the new accounting method.
The problematic account books will be dealt with separately. The managers who were dismissed a few days ago were the ones with the most problems. Xie Xian has secretly asked Si Ji to investigate.
Xie Xian leaned on the couch, her eyes lazily sweeping over the servants who were busy calculating in the room, and she couldn't help feeling a little satisfied. Watching others work really cheered her up.
She yawned lightly, feeling proud in her heart: Isn't it that I have worked so hard for so many days just so that I can be lazy in the future? Look, aren't there so many people helping me with the work now?
Qingdai walked in with a plate of tempting fruits and heard Xie Xian humming a tuneless little song: "Give me back what you took from me, spit out what you ate from me..." She couldn't help laughing and thought: What funny thing is my wife thinking of again?
"My wife, tomorrow is the Yu family's garden party, you should at least get ready." Xie Miao reminded her while rubbing her wrist. She really couldn't bear to see her wife being so lazy.
For the first time, Xie Miao felt that being a female official could be so stressful. In the past, she was only responsible for sweeping and cleaning the house, and taking care of her wife's makeup and clothes. The sisters mostly talked about family matters, and all they could see was the world around them.
But now, she looked at Xie Xian who was lying on the couch in a mess, and took a deep breath. She received her first monthly salary yesterday, which was only 500 coins, but the bonus was three taels. She and Qingdai were very surprised and worried that they had calculated it wrong.
But my wife said, "Whatever is calculated is what it is. It's the rule that we distribute 3% of our profits every month. The more you earn in the future, the more you will get." I looked at her affirmative face.
For the first time, Xie Miao felt that his life had meaning. Since he handed over the monthly allowance to his mother yesterday, his father and mother have never mentioned asking her to work again.
Xie Xian raised her eyebrows when she heard this, and said nonchalantly, "What do you need to prepare? Isn't it just about wearing something nice to go out?"
Xie Miao pulled out a piece of paper from under the account book, which densely recorded the in-law relationships of each family. She looked at Xie Xian's bitter face and couldn't help but exchanged an unkind smile with Qing Dai.
"Well, I think we can just bring our Miao female official with us tomorrow." Xie Xian tried to struggle.
Xie Miao replied calmly: "Thank you for your favor, my lady, but to this kind of garden party, the young ladies bring their maids." If they are all unmarried ladies, who would bring their aunts out to the party?
"Is this a blind date?" Xie Xian worked hard to find unmarried ladies and gentlemen on the paper. The oldest was only fifteen. Wow, it seems that people in ancient times really married young.
Seeing the strange expression on Xie Xian's face, the two women paused for a moment before they remembered that their wives were almost old maids, so why not be more proactive and find a husband as soon as possible.
But they dared not say this. Qingdai knew that Tu Zhen and Xie Xian had talked about this issue more than once. According to Madam Zhen, "Your wife is possessed by a demon, and all her teachings are heretical." So they couldn't listen to it.
Xie Xian was excited to make some comments, but she found it strange that her friend didn't want to listen.
Then just chat with Sixth Mother and Seventeenth Mother later. They had no idea that their wives were going to poison the wives of the first and third wives. The two of them were busy with their own work and cooperated with each other tacitly.
Xie Xian was looking at this rare opportunity to slack off, so how could she let it go easily? However, before she could figure out what to do next, she saw Mr. Cui, the current head of Yixue, coming to find her.
"Sister Xian, my teaching has been good these days!" Cui Can looked for praise.
Xie Xian nodded, and couldn't help but rub his face, while saying: "Yes, Cui Xiaolang is amazing, it's amazing that he can teach Xiaohua and the others!"
Although this sounded a bit exaggerated, coupled with the sincere expression on Xie Xian's face, Cui Dundun actually blushed. It turned out that Sister Xian understood me. There are many friends here, and they speak nicely. I like this place very much.
Qingdai and Xie Miao nodded in agreement, trying not to smile, but their hands were not slow, they took the preserved fruits and mountain peaches and stuffed them into Cui Can's mouth in two seconds.
Degui stood by the door and snorted. Here comes the second lady with her sweet words again. My young master likes this. Although I know it's a bit exaggerated, I can't help but smell it.
At the beginning, the young master didn't want to agree. He said that he was not worthy of being a teacher because he was not well-trained, so he refused. However, his concerns were dispelled by Madam Xian's two words.
Knowledge is meant to be put into practice, otherwise how can this knowledge become your own?
Cui Can never expected that when he just taught Yudan and the others what he had learned using simple methods, he found that many of the things he had learned before were crude, so he had to ask his elder brother for help.
Moreover, over the past few days, I can feel that my knowledge is advancing by leaps and bounds. I didn't even tell my elder brother when he asked me about it. I am really an amazing person.
In response to Cui Can's question, Xie Xian said: "This is what it means to learn and practice from time to time. Master Cui, you will become even more powerful if you keep working hard." She looked sincere. She was not very familiar with the characters here. Fortunately, she had such a foolish guy named Dun Dun. Otherwise, she would be in trouble if she couldn't find anyone to train.
Currently, her second house night school is only for the servants or side branches of the family. Those from well-off families probably won't look at it. This way, she can find the right people for her needs. After all, most of those who can come out to study are young people, and quite a few good talents have been screened out.
Next, she recruited a lot of talents for her East Street renovation plan.
