Chapter 350: Knowledge Changes Destiny (Two Shifts)

In the seventies and eighties of later generations, due to the huge population base, some villages even had less than one mu of cultivated land per capita.

But with such little land, it is enough to feed a family.

In Datang, a person can at least get dozens of acres of land, why do people often go hungry?

Seeds, fertilizers, and pesticides aside, but also farming skills.

During the Tang Dynasty, farming was extensive.

Because one person has dozens of acres of land, they don't have the energy to do fine farming.

After planting, they are basically relying on the weather for food, and the harvest can be imagined.

Originally, they thought that it would be very easy for each person to only take care of five acres of land.

However, when they did what Li Su told them, they found that it was not easy at all.

For example, all the grass in these fields must be removed.

For example, the crop called sweet potato must cover a high ditch.

In order to promote culture throughout Yizhou, Li Su deliberately launched a measure.

That is, as long as the literate people recorded the production of the crops he served in time, then the wages could be doubled.

As long as you are literate, your salary can be doubled!

Such a good thing greatly stimulated these people.

However, at that time, the literacy rate of the people was too low.

Of the tens of thousands of people, only a dozen or so people are literate.

Well, I have to say that at that time, the blockade of culture by the Maison was still very successful.

At that time, it was too difficult for ordinary people to read and write.

First of all, they can't afford expensive books.

Secondly, they can't afford to hire a gentleman, and they don't have a way to go to school.

Reading is also a high-consumption industry, pen, ink, paper, inkstone, and money is required everywhere.

For those who have difficulty filling their stomachs, reading is too far away for them.

But now, as long as they are literate and can record the number of readers, the measure of doubling their wages has greatly stimulated them.

If you are knowledgeable, it is different!

Even if it is a workman, people can get twice as much as they can get paid for the same amount of effort.

This incident greatly stimulated the people.

After returning home, they did not hesitate to take out the money this time to buy the three-character scripture, the hundred family names and the thousand-character text to enlighten their children.

Even if the family can't afford it for a while, they go out to borrow money, and they have to buy these books.

Because, these people have understood the truth that knowledge can change fate.

All of a sudden, in the entire Yizhou, the three-character classic, the hundred family names, and the thousand-character text were sold.

All of a sudden, most of the books were sold out, and there were not enough to sell.

As a result, Yizhou Wangjia had to increase production in order to meet market demand.

And all of a sudden, throughout Yizhou, many people are learning pinyin.

Because, as long as you learn pinyin well, you can learn the three-character classic, the hundred family names and the thousand-character text by yourself.

Through self-study, you can easily grasp these words in these three books.

And if you learn all the words in these three books, simple bookkeeping will not be a problem at all.

And these self-learning, not only those children can learn, but even those adults, there are many people who do self-learning.

Because they found that the culture that they were in awe of was not as difficult as they had imagined.

They found that as long as they learned pinyin, they could also learn to read and write by teaching themselves.

……

Five people surnamed Qiwang and other people from the family found Li Su again.

This time, they asked Li Su to make the mirror smaller.

It doesn't need to be so big, there is about a five- or six-foot factory, and three or four feet wide is enough.

Even smaller, it's acceptable.

Or, if Li Su transports the mirror out of Shu, it can also be.

They can pay a hefty shipping fee.

And after hearing this request from the five surnames and seven wangs, Li Su couldn't help but smile slightly.

The reason why he threw the mirror in Chang'an was to throw this bait and let the five surnames and Qiwang take the bait.

Now, the big fish has taken the bait.

How is it possible for these big fish to now ask him to rip off the hook?

Therefore, after hearing the request made by the five surnames and Qiwang, Li Su couldn't help but say in embarrassment: "These mirrors are all made of molds, and these molds can't be adjusted now." ”

"So, the size of the mirror, that's all. As for transporting it out of Shu, you don't have a good way, and the governor of Bendu has no way. ”

Hearing Li Su's words, those people from the five surnamed Qiwang families had extremely unkind faces.

They seriously suspected that all this was the king of Shu who was secretly making trouble.

But they didn't have enough evidence to prove this, and they couldn't think of what the reason for King Shu to do this was.

Next, the representative of the five surnames and Qiwang expressed their dissatisfaction.

"King Shu, we are all businessmen, and when we do business, what we seek is to make money."

"However, the road to Shu is really bad. Several of our families, this batch of mirrors, actually did not ship a single piece of it. It's all folded here. If this continues, then we really can't continue to do this mirror business. ”

"After all, if you can't even ship it out, how can you make money? The cost of this transportation is too high for us to afford. I wonder if the king of Shu can build a road to this Shu land? ”

Hearing the words of the urging machine, Li Su's face couldn't help showing embarrassment, but his heart was happy.

The reason why he threw the bait was to repair the road from Yizhou to Chang'an.

And now, without saying it himself, the urging machine was the first to put it forward.

Therefore, after listening to the words of the urging machine, Li Yu said in embarrassment: "Everyone, the road to this Shu land is indeed very poor. Shu Road is difficult, it is difficult to go to the sky! However, the population of Shu is too small, and if you want to build a road to the outside world, you can't do it at all! ”

The urging machine spread his hands and said: "King Shu, but if the road can't be improved, then we really can't continue the mirror business." ”

Li Su couldn't help but change color on his face and said: "Cui Gongzi, but the mirror business is something that you have all agreed to, how can you regret it at will?" Isn't your family the most honest? You can't do such a broken contract! ”

Zhiji couldn't help but sneer: "His Royal Highness the King of Shu, it's no wonder that our family is here!" It's you, the king of Shu, who didn't explain the road situation in Shu to us clearly. If the road to Shu is not improved, then we, the families, will have no choice but to give up this business. ”

Hearing the words of the urging machine, Li Su's face became ugly.

After a while, he said, "Well, the Governor of Pondu will start building the road immediately, but he needs the help of the people of your family." ”
