Chapter Seventy-Seven: Graduation

"It's not just Wang Pu and Niu Da Niu Er, no matter who completes the task I gave in the future, it will also be treated like this!"

Facing Han Shan, the housekeeper who had some doubts, Li Yuanjia's attitude was very clear and firm.

Without material incentives, how can they persevere in their efforts?

Especially a guy like Wang Pu, if he wasn't his own person, he had already been branded as King Yu all his life, Li Yuanjia could hardly believe that he would be willing to work with a craftsman like Niu Da Niu Er all the time. And even if Wang Pu has to do the "inferior" work in his mind because of his own orders, I am afraid that he will be in a depressed mood every day, how can he help himself improve the papermaking process?

Only a heavy reward is the way to solve the problem.

In fact, Wang Pu was only given a reward of twenty times, and the money in the future was doubled, Li Yuanjia felt that it was too little!

If he could, Li Yuanjia was even willing to give Wang Pu a reward of 200 yuan, because he led Niu Da Niu Er to achieve the ultimate in this era - to create the same product as the top white paper in the Li Family Paper Mill! But it's a pity that firstly, they have only created the same thing, and they have not completely surpassed or exceeded it by a long distance, and secondly, twenty times is already a lot of money, and if more is given, Li Yuanjia is afraid that it will not inspire Wang Pu, but to make trouble for him.

"Well, take your time."

After seeing the disagreement in Han Shan's eyes, Li Yuanjia could only shake his head helplessly, and at the same time warned himself not to be too anxious.

The wisest thing to do is not to go against the trend.

Just like his treasury is full of money and cloth, and the grain in the granary is enough for him to eat for a lifetime, but it still can't exempt those peasants from rent, and even reduce it, Li Yuanjia can give Wang Pu a reward of dozens of times, even if Han Shan is unhappy, they won't say anything, but if the number of rewards is as high as two hundred......

Tsk, do they deserve it?

Thinking of this, he shook his head again, Li Yuanjia decided not to worry about himself anymore, and asked instead: "By the way, Lao Han, have you looked at those sewers these days, have there been any problems?" ”

"Back to the king, no."

Shaking his head, Han Shan hurriedly replied: "These days, except when it rains, we also deliberately throw a lot of things into the water inlet, and if we find that the larger ones are basically stopped, they are very easy to clean up; The smaller ones were able to pass, but they never got clogged......"

As he spoke, the corners of Han Shan's eyebrows jumped violently.

Because Li Yuanjia attaches great importance to the sewer matter, he told Han Shan to be careful, so even these trivial and rough work, the housekeeper has to watch it himself. In this big summer, staring at the mouth of the sewer, who really knows who does it!

But this also has advantages, that is, when the king asked, Han Shan replied with extra confidence.

Sure enough, after listening to his answer, Li Yuanjia's face suddenly showed a satisfied expression, and he smiled happily: "Okay!" Very good! Very good! You did a good job in this matter, go back and get two rewards yourself! ”

“…… Thank you, King! ”

If it weren't for the previous reward for Wang Pu, Han Shan would definitely be happy in his heart at this time, but since he knew that Wang Pu had received twenty yuan, and even the two yuan he had received ten yuan, the two yuan he had obtained was suddenly tasteless.

After all, in the eyes of the housekeeper, he serves the king every day and manages the huge palace, how can he not be as young as Wang Pu? It's not even as good as Niu Da Niu Er's two rough goods?

If he knew what Han Shan was thinking at this time, Li Yuanjia would definitely give him a look of contempt.

Can you help me see how effective the sewer is, how can it be compared to other people's improvement of papermaking? To put it mildly, at least Wang Pu can make the paper of the palace self-sufficient from now on; To put it more broadly, if they can continue to improve technology, improve efficiency, and greatly reduce costs in the future, then it will affect the entire history of China!

No matter how you look at it, the two things are not good at the same level, right?

Fortunately, Han Shan didn't dare to show this kind of unhappiness on his face after all, but he was grateful to thank the king, and Li Yuanjia didn't know what Han Shan thought after all, so he just waved his hand and said, "Okay, now send someone to call Huang Zhongliang to me." In addition, send someone to Chen Beijia's place, and say that I will invite him over tomorrow for a talk......"

……

"Li Zhong, eighty-one points!"

"Zhang Wan, ninety-five points!"

"Han Cheng, seventy-six points...... Li Cheng, in this monthly exam, you are the only one who did not score 80 points! ”

"Yes, the student is stupid!"

After hearing Chen Qian's announcement of his results, Li Cheng, who had just turned sixteen, lowered his head in shame, bit his lip hard, and his eyes almost fell.

At his age, he is the best age.

So when he heard that he was not as good as the other five companions, he was already sad, if he thought about it after returning home, his parents would inevitably ask about his grades, and he would have to compare with other peers, Li Cheng felt even more sad - it didn't matter what he was beating, the key was that he was afraid of seeing his parents' disappointed eyes and expressions, which was even more painful to be whipped fifty times.

It's just that Chen Qian on the podium didn't care about his feelings, and continued to read aloud: "Ma Liang, ninety-one points!" Sun Zhan, 100 points...... Good test! ”

When the last person's name was read, even Chen Qian, who had always been unapologetic to these students, couldn't help but pause, and then praised Sun Zhan.

100 points, this score is not easy!

You must know that the difficulty of this exam is not small, if you want to get a full score, you must not only be able to write all the words, but also write the last short essay smoothly and completely, expressing the meaning that Chen Qian wants. Although for him, a teacher, this level of examination is simply the level of his eight or nine years old, but for these children who were still illiterate more than a year ago, it is a different matter.

After all, there are only three days a month when there are teachers and professors.

Therefore, even if he has very little contact with these five children except for class, Chen Qian knows very well in his heart that they must be very hard at ordinary times, and they never dare to slack off......

After glancing at the test paper in his hand again, before distributing it, Chen Qian couldn't help but secretly praise in his heart: "This kind of number created by the king, as well as this kind of 100-point score, is really easy to use, you can clearly know everyone's learning level, it's really wonderful!" ”

While thinking, Chen Qian sent all the test papers.

Then he returned to the podium, subconsciously and seriously glanced at the few boys in the audience, and a trace of reluctance suddenly rose in his heart.

Of course, only a hint of it.

Then he quickly shook his head to dispel this strange feeling, and then knocked on the podium and said loudly: "Okay, you have all passed today's exams, and you have reached the level required by the king!" So I declare that you ...... today Hmm, what did the king say about that? That's right...... I announce that you are graduating today! ”
