Compulsory education in ancient times

Tao Jianran didn't even need to think about it this time, he knew it must be the Huns' counterattack!

Hearing this rumor, Qi Bohan came over the wall to the Shangshu Mansion to pretend to be angry to be comforted, but when he entered the door, he saw Tao Jianran writing vigorously on the white paper while showing a sinister smile, his eyelids twitched.

"Of course, what are you doing?" Qi Bohan walked up to Tao Yanran, wanting to see what he was writing, but Tao Yanran pushed him away.

"The Xiongnu bastards, I want to kill them!" Tao Yanran gritted his teeth, and after finishing writing, he asked Qi Bohan to come over and read.

Qi Bohan couldn't help feeling itchy when he saw Tao Jianran's furry appearance, he stepped forward and hugged Tao Jianran and rubbed them hard, making the two people's clothes messy, and he was willing to stop in a state of distraction.

"What do you want to do?" Qi Bohan picked up what Tao Jianran wrote, and couldn't help being a little surprised.

He thought Tao Jianran was swearing again, but he didn't expect it to be a proposal!

Tao Jianran raised his chin arrogantly, and snorted coldly: "Who has time to play these children's bickering games with them. The matter of rumors will be resolved by the daily newspaper, and this time I will go out of their old nest!"

What Tao Jianran wrote this time was a proposal for border trade.

The Rui Dynasty and the Xiongnu had a tradition of trading in the past, but due to the tense relationship between the two countries in recent years, this trade was naturally cancelled.

The products Tao Jianran chose to send to the mutual market this time are mainly mirrors, glass, silk and ceramics.Silk and ceramics have always been the hard currency of the Rui Dynasty to other countries, while glass and mirrors are newly emerging things in the Rui Dynasty. Tao Yanran believes that no one of these ancient people can escape the temptation of these two things!In addition, the official road from the capital to the border has almost been built, and the loss rate of transporting glass mirrors will not be very high.

Tao Jianran opened the mutual market, of course not to give these good things to the Xiongnu, he wanted to use these luxury goods to exchange for the Xiongnu's strategic materials!Empty the Xiongnu's background little by little to strengthen the strength of the Rui Dynasty army!

"Salt, iron, meat, horses and furs, are these things that the Xiongnu ordered to prohibit them from being sold to us?" Tao Jianran raised his head and asked Qi Bohan.

Qi Bohan nodded, and then continued: "It's not enough for us to just sell these things. The Xiongnu are bitterly cold, if there are better heating tools, they will sell better than these luxury goods."

"Then I have to think about it. It must be the kind that costs a lot, but is very useful. Otherwise, if they are popularized in the army, it will only strengthen the strength of the Huns." Tao Yanran rubbed his chin, constantly thinking about his past life Something is a must have in winter.

Qi Bohan didn't disturb Tao Jianran's thoughts, took a pen and paper and added something to the proposal.Tao Jianran was just a plan to transport the goods to the border. If he wanted to make the merchants of the Huns flock to these goods, and even risk breaking the law to smuggle strategic materials, there must be enough interests in it!

The next day, Ruichao announced that starting from November, the border market with the Xiongnu would be reopened. The location was just one mile outside the city. It would be opened every Friday, and Ruichao soldiers would go to guard it.Whether it is a buyer or a seller who enters the mutual market, as long as the transaction is completed, they have to pay [-]% tax!

This tax rate sounds high, but it is actually [-]% cheaper than before!Nowadays, many people who live in the border customs have made their fortunes through the mutual market, which shows how profitable the mutual market is!The mutual market has been cancelled, and life at the border has become more and more difficult. Upon hearing the news, no matter if it is a businessman from the Rui Dynasty or the Xiongnu, they all started gearing up!

Tao Jianran's decision to take a slanted sword stunned the first prince of the Xiongnu and Cui Yanming who were about to make a big fuss.

"Is the emperor of the Rui Dynasty showing weakness to the prince?" The eldest prince of the Xiongnu looked disdainful, obviously dissatisfied with his opponent's lack of kindness.

Cui Yanming frowned: "Prince, don't be careless, the people of Ruichao are extremely cunning, and we must send someone to keep an eye on the exchange market."

The eldest prince handed over the matter to Cui Yanming indifferently, while on the other side, Sanniang had already completed the renovation of the textile factory.

Since there is no river near the textile factory, the textile factory was separated from the dyeing workshop this time.The dyeing workshop has not yet selected a location, but the textile factory can be the first to start operation.

Then, due to the rumors from the brothel, although the daily newspaper has clarified it, the women in the brothel are still skeptical.After all, the words from my own building are more reliable than the ones in the daily newspaper.So since then, no one has come to apply for the job. Now the textile factory, including Sanniang, has only eleven workers.

Bai Ling was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot: "San Niang, what should we do? We have all been in the capital for almost a month, and nothing has been done..."

"Don't worry, let's go to the daily newspaper and publish the recruitment information, there will always be people who are willing to come." Sanniang was not as impatient as Bai Ling, but had a plan in mind.As long as you get the real money, who would care about those illusory rumors?

On the second day, the first advertisement since its inception was finally published in the daily newspaper.

The recruitment information of the textile factory is also very simple and rude.

The monthly salary is [-] Wen, including food and lodging, three meals a day, and three days off each month, which can be saved together for consecutive holidays.The requirements are also very simple, as long as you are a woman, can weave or understand female red, you can come.

This condition is already very tempting for the common people in the capital!Although the people in the capital are richer than the people in Ning'an, they can't go anywhere with the money!What's more, the labor income that women in the family can create is actually not high. If they are allowed to go out to work, twenty Wen a month is equivalent to money falling from the sky!

And you can save up for continuous vacations during the holidays.If you save for a few more months, you can go home to help for a few days during the busy farming season, and you can take care of the fields while going out to work. This condition is really great!

But the conditions are so good, some people doubt whether it is a scam.

After the newspaper published the recruitment information for the fifth day in a row, finally five peasant women came to the textile factory together.

As soon as Bai Ling heard someone knocking on the door, he ran out excitedly, and found that it was five women. He smiled even more happily: "Are you here to be female workers?"

"Can we do it?" a peasant woman in the lead asked, rubbing her hands together nervously.

"As long as you can weave or know how to be a female celebrity, it's fine!" Bai Ling let the door open and led them in. "We want to watch you weave and see if you really know how to weave."

Hearing that it was really a test of weaving, the five peasant women finally felt relieved.It doesn't look like a deceptive factory like the rumors outside.What's more, these five peasant women also felt that they had nothing to be deceived, so they dared to come here to try their luck.

When the news of the admission of the five peasant women spread, the previous rumors about the Golden Cave were dispelled.After all, these five peasant women worked in the fields day and night, and their image was not much better.If there are people with such an image in Fengyue place, then the guests in this place are too serious!

The chain reaction caused by this incident was that the girl who had been hesitating in the brothel finally made up her mind to apply for the job!

Ziqi's side suddenly became busy, spending thousands of taels of money to redeem his body in one day, which can be described as a lot of money.

When Tao Jianran saw the account books submitted by the accountant, he was also in great pain: "It can't go on like this! Forget about the Yingchun Building, why should you give money to the other three lackeys of the Huns!"

"Don't worry, I've got people watching them, and I won't let them send half a tael out of the city. After they close the door, I'll catch them all." Qi Bohan leaned over and kissed Tao Jianran's cheek, just about to have a good kiss , a servant suddenly ran in.

"Master, a gentleman from the Nanfeng Pavilion came outside to apply for the job. Please show me the housekeeper."

"Take it, there are so many factories that are short of people, you let him arrange it himself, and just hand me a list and statistics at the end of the month."

After dismissing the boy, Qi Bohan hugged Tao Jianran again, his hand had already reached his belt, when suddenly there was a knock on the door from An Yi: "Master, a letter from Leng Yue."

"Bring it in and let me have a look!" Tao Yanran slapped Qi Bohan's hands away, and took the letter.

With a cold face, Qi Bohan chased An Yi away with his eyes, and then he said dissatisfiedly: "Of course, we haven't been alone for several days, and we will read the letter tomorrow." After speaking, he was about to grab the letter from Tao Jianran's hand.

"It depends on how long the letter can be delayed." Tao Jianran held the letter so that Qi Bohan would not snatch it away, "Don't make trouble! Can you finish it in the evening?"

"Not good!" I have to go to court tomorrow, and I can't do it a few times at night!Qi Bohan is now at a young age, how can he be satisfied!

"Tsk..." Tao Jianran was about to agree when there was a knock on the door again!

The veins on Qi Bohan's forehead were bulging, but the people outside said anxiously: "Master, there is an urgent secret message from the Xiongnu."

It was about the Xiongnu, so Qi Bohan didn't dare to be careless, and quickly asked the secret guard to send the letter in.

Tao Jianran rolled his eyes, and also opened the letter from Leng Yue.

Leng Yue first stated that she wrote this letter during the harvest season, and seeing the beaming faces of the farmers along the way, she was filled with emotion.He also described to Tao Jianran a very strange plant that he saw on the road.

When that thing matures, it will produce a white and soft fruit like a cloud. Standing in it and looking from a distance, it seems like you are on the top of the cloud. Unfortunately, this kind of fruit cannot be eaten, and it can only be used as an ornamental. The Creator is too stingy.

Leng Yue's literary talent is excellent, Tao Jianran read the letter, as if seeing the scene described by Leng Yue.After Tao Jianran read the letter, he was about to ask Ziqi to put the envelope away, but suddenly his mind jumped.

What did Leng Yue say?white?soft?like a cloud? !

Isn't this cotton? ! !
