Compulsory education in ancient times

On the second day, after Qiu Qinye drove out the ten small picture albums, he was sent by Tao Jianran to explain to ten old farmers.

The next step is to sow the seeds according to the manual. Tao Yanran didn't know much about it, so he didn't intervene, but handed it over to Qiu Qinye and Li Qiong.After the cotton is planted in the coming year, they will also be credited.

As soon as I heard that it can be counted as merit, not to mention Qiu Qinye, even the seasoned Li Qiong couldn't help being excited, and devoted all his body and mind to the promotion of manual knowledge!

Five days later, the simple renovation of Qianlixiang Restaurant was completed and ready to open!Aunt Qi not only came to be the chef, but also brought a son to be a waiter.The shopkeeper was a middle-aged man introduced by Qiu Yu. It is said that he used to be the shopkeeper for others.

Tao Jianran deliberately chose the day before the mutual market to open, and this day was the day with the most foreign merchants on the mutual market.

Early in the morning that day, the merchants living in the three inns were suddenly awakened by a strong and tangy fragrance!They came here all the way, and basically didn't eat a few delicious meals.Now being aroused by this scent, the gluttons immediately made loud noises in their stomachs.

Someone got up immediately and walked looking for the scent.

I saw a shop that had been closed for a long time in the south of the center of Hushi Street. I don’t know when it opened, and it changed the signboard of "Thousand Lixiang".And the source of the scent that attracted them seemed to be in this store.

The clerk in the store is a strong guy. Seeing someone watching at the door, he quickly greeted him: "Guests, please! The store is open today, and the signature mutton soup is buy one get one free. You can buy two bowls for only five yuan. While stocks last, first come, first served!"

Hearing this, someone immediately associated the scent with mutton soup, salivated immediately, and went directly into the store and said, "Then give me two bowls!"

Someone started, and other businessmen who came looking for incense all took their seats.To these businessmen, five cents was nothing more than a small amount, and they were a little proud, so they ordered another table of "recommended by the store" dishes.

In less than half an hour, Qianlixiang, which just opened, was already full of people. This hot scene lasted until after noon, when the shocking news came from the back kitchen: the mutton soup was sold out!

Some customers who came for the smell of mutton soup turned back disappointed, while some unwilling customers entered the store and ordered other dishes.

Aunt Qi is good at cooking. Although other dishes are not as delicious as mutton soup, they are much more delicious than the boiled water and flatbread provided by the inn!Although the merchants felt a little regretful, they generally ate to their satisfaction.It's just that Mrs. Qi was almost exhausted in the back kitchen alone.

The mutton soup is boiled early in the morning, and guests can directly scoop up a bowl and send it out when they order it.But all the dishes ordered by the guests in the afternoon had to be cooked fresh, which made the still young Aunt Qi overwhelmed.

But in contrast, in one day, the restaurant actually had sales of ten taels of silver!The shopkeeper was taken aback, and went to Jiedushi's mansion overnight to report the situation to Tao Jianran.

Excluding wages and the cost of purchasing ingredients, Qian Lixiang's net profit on the first day of opening was as high as five taels of silver!Although it is not comparable to Liuli Pavilion, within the scope of Yizhou, this number is almost unmatched.

After the shopkeeper finished his report, he said again: "My lord, there are so many customers in the store today, Mrs. Qi can't keep busy in the back kitchen by herself, so many customers have left for nothing." Thinking of this shopkeeper, I feel very sad. If there are more people in the back kitchen , Maybe you can earn more today!

"Then you go and recruit a few more cooks to help Mrs. Qi, and the salary will be [-]% of Mrs. Qi's." Tao Jianran also learned that the mutton soup was sold out at noon today, so he ordered, "The mutton soup has to be boiled again. If there are more, there should be no problem in purchasing ingredients, right?"

"It's okay for the time being, but it won't be so in half a year." The shopkeeper is a native of Yizhou. He knows that the maximum number of sheep raised in the state in a year is only [-]. in the minority.

Today, five sheep were consumed in the shop, three of which were used for cooking soup.If we add three more sheep to make soup tomorrow, we can eat eight sheep in one day.The sheep raised in Yizhou are generally sold when they are about one year old. If there is no farmer to increase the scale of breeding after half a year, I am afraid that the supply will not be able to meet the needs of the store.

Tao Jianran didn't worry about it when he heard the words.Although the common people have never read a book, it doesn't mean they are fools. Seeing that sheep are so easy to sell, Tao Yanran doesn't believe that no one will increase the scale of breeding.And seeing that Qianlixiang's business is so good, there will definitely be restaurants competing in Hushi Street in the future, and the demand for mutton will also increase. This can be regarded as adding a new income to the people of Yizhou.

The shopkeeper got Tao Jianran's approval, and began to do it boldly.

After the second day's exchange market ended, Qian Lixiang's name soon spread among these traders running the exchange market.

However, in Yizhou, a place where everything is needed and nothing is needed, problems come one after another.The carpenters who went out to look for trees the next day returned with a full load, but their faces were not very good-looking.

Tao Jianran was puzzled and asked, "What's the matter? Can't find a suitable tree?" As he spoke, he looked at the branches of the two carts behind him, and it didn't look like it.

The leading carpenter replied with a sad face: "Sir, we forgot earlier that these trees need to be dried in the shade for another year or two before they can be used. Otherwise, even if the waterwheel is made, it will definitely crack after a long time."

In short, they are busy for nothing!

Tao Jianran was taken aback when he heard the words.Now the cotton fields are about to be sown, and the cement pipes are almost being laid. If the waterwheels cannot be built, not only will all their previous efforts be wasted, but the planting of the cotton fields will also be delayed!

"Does it have to be dried in the shade? Can it be dried?" Tao Yanran frowned, thinking quickly whether there is any remedy.

When the carpenters heard Tao Jianran's words, they were all at a loss: "How to dry?"

"Probably put the wood in a place where the temperature is relatively high but it won't burn it, such as a stove or something, to force out the moisture inside, what do you think?" Tao Yanran said casually, not knowing Feasible or not.

"Then... give it a try?" The carpenter has never heard of this kind of practice, but at this time, he can only use a dead horse as a living horse doctor. Who told them to bring small pieces of wood, and there is no way to make a waterwheel. Woolen cloth.

"Let the craftsmen who burn pottery and glass cooperate with you to build a furnace. You should bake it first. If it doesn't work, you can only think of other ways." It is also more convenient to have someone pour buckets of water to the beginning of the pipe directly than to carry water directly.

Thinking of this, Tao Yanran felt relieved.

Yizhou has quietly started the road of change, and a small event has also happened in the capital.

Liuli Pavilion released another big news. On June [-]st of this year, Liuli Pavilion will auction off the contracting rights of the national highway again!

This news was originally published in the Minsheng Daily, and with the publicity of the storyteller, this issue of the daily is extremely popular!Many people who are in business at home, or have relatives and friends who are wealthy businessmen, bought several copies one after another, intending to entrust someone to give to relatives and friends in need.

This news was published in the daily newspaper for half a month. As the news spread in Ruichao territory, the high-quality and cheap Minsheng Daily also attracted people's attention.

The farmers saw the picture album with Nongsang layout, and it happened that it was spring plowing, and they were as excited as if they had won a treasure.

Scholars and students were as overjoyed as the students in the capital when they saw Mr. Guozijian's lectures on the event section at that time.

At first it was just a carnival for businessmen, but in the end Minsheng Daily has become the hottest topic in the country!

Some well-connected people all asked their relatives and friends in the capital to store some newspapers for them, and they would send them together when the time came.And those who don't have any contacts are asking around, just asking to borrow the newspaper to have a look.

During this period of time, the sales volume of Minsheng Daily has seen a peak increase. At the regular meeting on Monday, Tao Xiaomei and Tao Pengfei both raised this question.

Tao Pengfei was very excited: "I think it's time to further promote Minsheng Daily!"

"Since last Monday, the newspaper's finances have finally turned profitable, and I don't think this number will fall back. We can properly increase the laying of channels." Tao Xiaomei handed her account book to Wang Wanning.

Tao Mingjie also heard about this a little bit, and he was very happy at this time: "Pengfei, do you have a promotion plan?"

"How about we cooperate with bookstores in various places?" Tao Pengfei came prepared today, and directly took out three proposals and handed them to the other three. For information about cooperation, let interested bookstores write to us, and we will select the more sincere cooperation among them."

Tao Pengfei also thought about the cooperation model carefully. In places close to the capital, newspapers can be saved and delivered once a week, and in places far away, once a month.After all, although the Minsheng Daily is a daily newspaper, it is actually not particularly time-sensitive, and it will not affect its maximum effectiveness if it is saved for a year or so.The shipping costs will be borne by the newspaper and bookstore.

The newspaper company sells the daily cost price to the bookstore, and the profit is divided between the newspaper company and the bookstore, but the bookstore must promise that each newspaper cannot be sold for more than one penny.

After listening to Tao Xiaomei, she didn't agree very much: "In this way, the profits may not be able to offset the shipping costs in farther places."

"Oh, the purpose of our newspaper is not to make a profit, as long as the loss is not too much." Tao Pengfei said disapprovingly.Now the relationship between Tao Xiaomei and Tao Pengfei can be said to be in the same situation.Channel laying needs money, but every time you find a financial application, it is a lot of troublesome process, and you may not be able to get much money!This is probably the core conflict between all business departments and the financial department from ancient times to the present.

"I think it's easy to stumble if you spread so many channels all at once." Tao Xiaomei also said with a straight face.Although she is the only one in the finance department now, and there are not as many subordinates as the editor-in-chief, her temperament has become more and more stable.These days, she controls the finances of such a large newspaper by herself, which gives her a much broader perspective than when she was the editor-in-chief, and she also grows rapidly.

Tao Pengfei's consciously perfect plan was questioned, and he turned to look at Wang Wanning.
