Compulsory education in ancient times

"Ah?" What is technology investment?[-]% profit is so much!Aunt Qi was a little dazed by the amount of information in Tao Jianran's words, and she didn't know where to ask.

Tao Jianran knew that Mrs. Qi might not be able to understand it for a while, so she explained it again in detail before Mrs. Qi realized it.But she didn't agree immediately, but she wondered in her heart whether Tao Jianran's brain was a little bit broken, and she also knew how to cook some home-cooked dishes. How could this skill be used to open a restaurant, let alone split [-]% of the profit all at once.

As an honest commoner at the bottom of the feudal society, they will more or less have a biased perception of their own abilities.Tao Jianran didn't know that Mrs. Qi belittled her craftsmanship so much in her heart, but seeing Mrs. Qi's suspicious eyes, Tao Jianran realized that her tone was a bit like a liar.

Tao Jianran coughed twice in embarrassment, then turned around and said, "How about this, if you don't trust me, ma'am, how about working in a restaurant first? The monthly salary... fifty cash?" Tao Jianran didn't dare to make an offer all at once If it is too high, I am afraid that the honest people will be scared away.

When Aunt Qi heard the words, she felt that it was more reliable.But he still didn't believe in his ability, he hesitated and said, "But, can this work?"

"Try it on for a month first, and if it doesn't work, turn it off." Tao Yanran decided to retreat, and Aunt Qi really wanted to move.

Tao Jianran took advantage of the victory to pursue again, and Aunt Qi let go of her mouth, saying that she would go back to discuss with her son and give an answer in a few days.

Now that the shop has not been bought yet, Tao Jianran is not in a hurry, so he let Aunt Qi go back.Not long after, Yaren brought three people to the door, who were the owners of the three shops yesterday.

Tao Jianran was generous with the money, and he was such a big official as the Jiedushi, so it only took half an hour to complete the deed approval procedures.

Tao Jianran went to the backyard to find a few idle craftsmen, and asked them to renovate the shop that used to be a restaurant. It didn't take much trouble, just get some sturdy tables and chairs.Then he wrote the three big characters "Qianlixiang" by himself, and asked the carpenter to make a signboard.

Thinking of Mrs. Qi's fragrant mutton soup, Tao Jianran couldn't help but look forward to the day when the restaurant opened. He must go to take out food every day!

Tao Jianran has been busy with restaurant affairs all day, and it looks like he is going to take root in Yizhou, which makes Qiu Yu even more inexplicable, especially since his youngest son mysteriously shut himself up after being with Tao Jianran for a day last time. In the room, he didn't take a step out, which made Qiu Yu's impression of this Jiedushi very strange.

On the first day of acquaintance, I only thought he was an easy-going adult, on the second day I thought he was a good official who was diligent in government and caring for the people, and on the third day... don't worry about it!This made people who had originally expected Tao Jianran to go up one more liter feel a little delicate.

It wasn't until the next day that Qiu Qinye finally came out of the room, holding a stack of papers in his hand, and ran to the Jiedushi next door.

Tao Jianran was still having breakfast with the two little ones when he heard the news from the boy.Moreover, Qiu Qinye had just arrived on the front foot, and Li Qiong had also arrived on the back foot. It could be seen that both of them attached great importance to this errand.

Tao Yanran didn't neglect either, and after a few mouthfuls, he went to the study to receive the two of them.

"You two have finished painting?" Tao Jianran asked knowingly.

Qiu Qinye was also impatient, and hurriedly sent his drawing, and hurriedly said, "Look, my lord!"

Not to be outdone, Li Qiong presented her drawing.

It can be seen from the number of drawing papers that Li Qiong's is about one-fifth more than Qiu Qinye's.Tao Jianran frowned, seeing Qiu Qinye and Li Qiong both very anxious, said with a smile: "Why don't you come over and watch together."

Hearing this, both of them couldn't wait to walk to Tao Jianran's side, one left and one right, and Tao Jianran opened the two drawing papers one by one at the same time.

In terms of painting style, Qiu Qinye's strokes are obviously more concise and more convenient for engraving and printing.But from the content point of view, Li Qiong's part is more detailed. Although most of the pen, ink and paper were spent, he managed to make people understand the meaning of the painting without writing a single word!

Unlike Qiu Qinye's, he would occasionally add a sentence or two to explain.

After reading both of their paintings, Qiu Qinye also obviously felt that Li Qiong's share was much better than his own, and couldn't help feeling a little frustrated.

Tao Jianran was very satisfied with the two of them: "Li Qiong's content is good, but the painting skills are a bit complicated, not as simple and easy to print as Qiu Qinye's."

Hearing that he could still get a compliment, Qiu Qinye's mood immediately rose again.

Li Qiong also humbly accepted Tao Jianran's comments. He has immersed himself in painting for many years, and he couldn't help but add a lot of painting skills to his paintings. If people copy paintings or print them, it will indeed cause a lot of trouble.

"Both of you have done a good job. Next... Qiu Qinye will replace Li Qiong's booklet with your own painting style, and copy ten more copies. Can you finish the painting within three days?" In another two days , The cotton field is about to be finished, let the farmers rest for a day, and then they can start teaching the skills of cotton sowing.

After receiving Qiu Qinye's affirmative reply, Tao Yanran asked Li Qiong to go back and draw out the rest of the cotton planting manual. This time limit is much more relaxed, as long as the corresponding steps can be drawn before the cotton growing season.

After ordering the follow-up work, Tao Jianran rewarded Qiu Qinye with half a tael of silver, and Li Qiong received one tael. Be crazy happy!

He has grown so big, he has never owned so much silver!Qiu Qinye ran home excitedly to show off, and not long after, half of Yizhou City who was related to the Qiu family knew that Qiu Qinye had drawn a few pamphlets for Master Jiedushi, and got half of the money. silver.

And after Qiu Yu learned that Tao Jianran had asked someone to draw a pamphlet on cotton planting, he finally felt relieved.It seems that although the Lord Jiedushi has no rules for doing things, he still cares about the common people. He should hurry up and show it!

After another two days, the cotton field has been completely repaired.Tao Jianran went to inspect it, and found that although the time was running short, the farmers still made it very hard. It was no different from the drawings, and there was no sign of laziness and perfunctory, so he was very satisfied.After the successful trial of cotton planting in the future, it would be nice to reward the [-] acres of land directly to these ten people.

Within a few days, it was the day when the water diversion project officially started.After several days of on-the-spot survey and planning by the archers, the craftsmen finally started to build the shelves to support the height of the cement pipes.

The craftsmen used local materials, and also learned from the local people, and directly used loess to build it!It is similar to the wall of a house, except that it is a little thinner than the normal wall. It will not be used at that time, and it will be easy to disassemble.In addition, the construction method is simple, and the loess can also protect the cement pipe from breaking, which serves multiple purposes.

Building the loess wall in Wulidi is not an easy task, and the most troublesome thing is the traffic problem.

Next to the Xiaoyi River, the common people come to fetch water every day. If a wall is directly built to block the traffic passage, the common people will definitely be beaten to death.

Since there is no condition to finely adjust the drop of water pipes, and there are water wheels with a diameter of two meters, the highest part of the loess wall can be built about one meter.

Ever since, near the Xiaoyi River, every ten steps, a doorway wide enough for a person carrying water to pass was opened.But there are only five door openings, because in the future, the height will be lower and lower, and the technical pressure on making door openings will be greater.

And after staying away from the Xiaoyi River, no one would go there, and five doorways would be enough.

The craftsmen worked hard on the water diversion project, but the carpenter who was in charge of making the waterwheel was sad. There is no other reason. There are really few trees in Yizhou that are suitable for making waterwheels!Accustomed to Ning'an's condition that a ten-year-old tree can be chopped down casually, Yizhou really makes the carpenters at a loss.

There was a problem to report, and after Tao Jianran learned about it, he asked someone to find the stone.

Shito's family didn't know what they were doing. It was still the spring plowing period. Shitou, a middle-aged man, was always on call, as if he had been idle at home all the time.

Tao Jianran asked curiously, only to find out that his family was a rare merchant in the city.Shitou and his brother would take turns to go to the rich counties and counties in Ruichao to do business of buying and selling, and also worked part-time as purchasing agents and delivering letters.Shitou's brother just set off after the new year, and he didn't come back for a year or so.

In addition, few members of the family know how to farm, so Shitou's family only has five acres of Susukida, and spring plowing has been done long ago.In other words, Shishi has been idle for a year and a half.

"That's quite leisurely." Tao Jianran sighed, and felt that it was a coincidence, "You often leave Yizhou City, do you know where there are trees that are more than ten years old?"

"Yes! There is a small forest ten miles outside the city. We usually rest there on the first night when we go out of the city." Shito quickly flattered him, "Do you want me to take someone there?"

Tao Jianran heard the words, of course he would not refuse, and immediately paid half a tael as a deposit to the stone, and then paid half a tael after the tree was cut down.

Although Stone is a little embarrassed, who doesn't love money!After pretending to decline a few words, he accepted the money.

"But there is one more thing I want to tell you." Tao Yanran's expression suddenly became serious, "When the time comes, you cut down a few trees and remember to plant twice as many."

Shitou had never heard of the principle of cutting down trees and planting them back, and the job was quite troublesome, so he was naturally reluctant, so he asked, "Why is it so troublesome?"

Of course it is for sustainable development!There are already few trees in Yizhou, and if they are cut down indiscriminately, they will become deserted sooner or later!

But these words may not be understood by stones. Tao Jianran only picked up some words he could understand and said: "There are few trees in Yizhou now. If we cut down all the trees, what will happen to future generations?" Is it because there is no more wood to use? If we can replant a tree after cutting down a tree, won’t there be a new tree that can be used after ten years? If we replant twice as many trees, in time, Yi Can you see trees everywhere in the state?"

Shitou was brainwashed into a daze, and couldn't help but sincerely praised: "Hey, this is the truth! How come no one thought of it before! You are so amazing, my lord!"
