The development of later generations can be said to be changing with each passing day, as long as you live in seclusion in the mountains for a period of time before coming out of the mountains, you will find that the world has already changed color.

However, in the society before the Industrial Revolution, even if they lived in seclusion for thousands of years, the life of the world was still a small field of Nongfu Spring.

People's biggest ideal is a cow with ten acres of land, and the wife and children are hot pits. From the emperor to the Li people, it can be said that there are no exceptions.

A little bit of the ideal is nothing more than a few more concubines, a few more children, and more land, and the emperor's ideal is to expand this by hundreds of times.

To say that the good point is contentment, and the bad point is not to make progress.

Zhao Lao Er suggested more than a dozen disciplines, and in the end, only the School of Gastronomy, the School of Woodworking, and the School of Medicine remained.

As long as you look at the career after graduating from here, you can know what kind of mentality Zhao Lao Er has.

Although everyone is inseparable from cooks, carpenters, and doctors, these professions were all in the lower ninth class in ancient times.

In fact, for too drastic changes, people's hearts are resistant, although Wen Qihang very much hopes to live a modern life with a car outside the door and the Internet in his lifetime, but for many people, the unknown is a very terrible thing.

Especially the emperor, for things that he can't control, he is even more resistant in his heart.

The people may let it be done, but they cannot know it.

This is the words of a sage, although I don't know what Wen Qihang's intentions are, but Zhao Lao Er can see that this is Wen Qihang's teaching of knowledge in disguise.

Cities, roads, water conservancy, ships, astronomy, and nong, are these knowledge also known to the common people?

In Zhao Laoer's opinion, it is already very good to cook, get some furniture, cure diseases at most, and save people.

As for the rest of the knowledge, it is better to put it on the shelf. Just the leakage of the gunpowder formula has fundamentally changed the war situation in the world.

The previous strategies and tactics were useless in the face of gunpowder, and all of them were ineffective.

These generals, who have survived a hundred battles, have also changed from experienced veterans to short-sighted white dings.

After more than ten years of commanding troops, he will immediately win the world. But this experience of blood and fire has now been completely zeroed.

This made his heart extremely uneasy.

Now Wen Qihang is going to bloom everywhere, God knows, that kind of knowledge will bring unpredictable changes.

"Sir, it stands to reason that this year's spring tea has already been on the market, but there is not a single tea on the market. If this continues, the tea in the house will be sold out. The dog baby frowned. He has always been in charge of the tea trading in the Juefu, but since the beginning of spring, there has been no new tea on the market, which is a very strange thing. I had no choice but to come and report to Wen Qihang. After all, most of the income of the Jue Mansion now depends on tea to maintain, especially the sale of firecrackers, which was ordered to stop production by the imperial court.

"What do those tea merchants say?" Smelling Qihang was stunned.

Although the history of tea drinking can be traced back to the pre-Qin period, since the Tang Dynasty, tea has only been an exclusive property of nobles, and the tea drunk at this time is also very different from the tea of later generations.

They used to crush the tea leaves and add various condiments such as mutton fat, green onions, ginger and garlic to the tea soup, but because the steps were cumbersome, they were not popularized among the people.

Although the tea promoted by Wen Qihang has been sought after by many people, especially literati, as soon as it was launched, private consumption is still limited.

At this time, tea, as a niche product, was suddenly out of stock, revealing all kinds of weirdness.

"They just said it was sold out, and so did the tea merchants who have been dealing with us." The dog baby said angrily.

Wen Qihang sighed and said, "It seems that someone is targeting us!" ”

"........" The dog baby was stunned when he heard this, and said in surprise: "They are just some merchants, how dare they offend us?" ”

"We have been cooperating with them for a while, and we are considered old customers, even if we often say that businessmen are unjust, but what good is it for them to offend a nobleman?" Wen Qihang paused and chuckled: "This can only mean that the person standing behind them is higher than your husband and my title, so they don't dare not listen." ”

"This ........," the dog smacked her lips.

Wen Qihang said casually: "Okay, since Jingshi Zuo can't receive tea in the near future, then forget it." Go to the tooth shop to see if there is any tea in the field, Li Tang's oolong tea, Tieguanyin, Shuzhong's Zhuyeqing, Mao Feng, are all good teas, just buy them from them. ”

"Okay, sir, I'm going to ask at the tooth shop." The dog baby replied.

Business opportunities are always available, and the ancients were not all fools. Now that the imperial court had taken over the trade routes to the Uighurs, it would be necessary to obtain large quantities of tea leaves to make tea bricks in order to exchange cattle and horses with the Uighurs. It is not surprising that such a large deal has attracted some powerful people to participate in it.

As for whether it is aimed at yourself, after all, there is no evidence, the most you can be careful about is.

"Sir, our 200,000 guan is almost spent now........ If there is no money to continue with, we will not be able to pay the craftsmen. Seeing that the dog baby was gone, Zheng He frowned and said.

"How long will it last?" Wen Qihang asked.

"Half a month is still okay." Zheng He said with a mental calculation.

"Well, I'm a little nervous." Wen Qihang groaned and said, "In this way, Your Majesty has agreed that we will open three colleges in advance, namely the School of Gastronomy, the School of Woodworking, and the School of Medicine. Starting tomorrow, the three colleges will begin to recruit students.

The school building is almost built, right? ”

"The lord is wise, as you expected." Zheng He flattered and said: "Now that these three colleges have been basically completed, as long as they are swept up, they can be put into use." ”

Wen Qihang smiled and said: "It's not that your lord and I are wise, but only these three families don't commit taboos." ”

Fortunately, he did not suggest to Zhao Lao Er to open a military academy, otherwise according to his current attitude, it would not be Xiao Zhao who came to convey the message, but Wang Renzhen, the spy leader, who personally came to jail him.

"Isn't it free this time?" Zheng He said with a laugh. Previously, when Wen Qihang opened Wenhua Academy, it was not only free, but also managed the meal, and even paid wages.

Wen Qihang pouted and said, "No matter how free it is, your lord and I will go to drink the northwest wind." ”

"How much is the right fee?" Zheng He asked.

Wen Qihang groaned and said: "The Academy of Gastronomy, eight major cuisines, each period teaches one cuisine, and the cost is a thousand yuan, you can look at the specifics." As long as you don't charge a thousand thousand, it's good to be 1,328, you've been a shopkeeper, you know this. ”

"Understood." Zheng He said with a smile.

"Woodworking College, starting from a hundred, of course, can't be rounded. As for medical school, this has to be examined, and it depends on qualifications........" Wen Qihang sighed and said: "Don't say it, this must be free, and you have to take care of food and housing........ I'll think about it again. ”

After all, human life is at stake, and if you don't want to have problems in the future, the students here will definitely not be recruited at will.
