Chapter 161: Good News Spreads Frequently
Long Deyou came to tell Emperor Qin Li that he aimed to promote the use of pencils throughout the country. When the holy decree arrived in Yangzhou, the Yangzhou government did not dare to slack off, and immediately sent documents to the prefectures and counties under its jurisdiction, strictly demanding the implementation of the holy decree.
Not only that, the emperor also issued a decree, vigorously praising Qin Li for running a school in Jiangdu very well, and ordered schools across the country to follow the example of Jiangdu County to run a school, and gradually implement teaching by grade and subject.
However, due to the current talent who knows how to arithmetic, basic physics and other courses, there are too few talents in the country, and the whole country is not required to follow up quickly.
Qin Li listened to Long Deyou's story, and he was overjoyed in his heart and nodded frequently. secretly thought, in history, it is said that Emperor Zhu Houzhao of Zhengde is a shameless emperor and an authentic faint monarch. Today, it seems that Zhengde is not stupid at all, on the contrary, he is very open-minded, and it is rare to be a wise king!
In fact, Qin Li still doesn't understand Zhengde, and it naturally makes sense to comment that Zhengde is a faint monarch in history. Zhengde likes to have fun all his life and trusts Shechen, which can not be said to be faint. But Zhengde was, in the words of later generations, a typical radical who hated all kinds of restraints and liked to be unrestrained. He likes new things very much and is willing to accept them, and his ability to accept new things is not ordinarily strong.
It is precisely for this reason that Qin Li's pencil and school-running ideas have made Zhengde happily accept and vigorously promote.
Moreover, the original history Zhengde did not encounter such a thing as a pencil and a grade-by-grade school. So Zhengde can't give such an order. In the final analysis, the Ming Dynasty at this time is still slowly changing because of the arrival of Qin Li, and there is a slight deviation from the original track of history.
Long Deyou looked excited and said, "Lord Qin, this holy decree is really good, this is a lot of silver for us!" Pencils can only be produced by the factory in our county, and the emperor is not making us rich in disguise! Hehe! ”
Long Deyou is in charge of the logistics and accounting office of the county school. His work is inseparable from money, so the first thing that comes to his mind is money.
However, Long Deyou reminded Qin Li when he said this, and Qin Li smiled and said, "Brother Long, you have to be busy next." You have to supervise the vigorous production of pencils, not to mention, just now I heard you say that schools all over the country are going to come to our county school to visit and study, but I think of a money-making man. ”
Long Deyou's eyes lit up immediately. He asked anxiously, "Lord Qin, don't sell it, just say it." I, Long Deyou, just want to make more money and better develop the county school! ”
"After all, people who come to our county school to visit and study need to live and eat, right? Brother Long can contract all the inns and restaurants in Jiangdu County in advance, so won't the money be rolling in at that time? Moreover, these people who came to visit and study should be officials of the imperial court, and they all came on behalf of the local school, and they could not carry silver with them. We can reprint multiple copies of the textbooks used in the county school and sell them to them.
Hehe! I believe that the textbooks used in our county school are unique in the Ming Dynasty, and how much they will be sold at that time is not up to us? This is also a lot of money! ”
Qin Li said almost without thinking.
And no wonder. For such things as visiting schools, Qin Li has seen a lot in later generations. In later generations, many famous schools have already turned schools into industries. It has not only cultivated more talents, but also made a lot of money to develop the economy.
Long Deyou slapped his thigh happily, and he could barely stop laughing. He couldn't stop nodding and said. "Lord Qin is right, what he said is so right, why didn't I think of so much? Lord Qin is really a talent, no. It's supposed to be a demon. Monsters! ”
Thousands of wears, but sycophants don't wear. I don't know when this Long Deyou also learned to pat on the back. However, Qin Li really ate this set, and he was extremely proud in his heart. Giggling, "What wickedness? Isn't this official a demon? To say that it is the elite of the Ming Dynasty, it is still acceptable. ”
Well, it's ridiculous to say that he's fat and he's gasping.
There is no way, although Qin Li is a gangster in later generations, but through the Ming Dynasty, relying on hundreds of years of historical accumulation, he is still very able to mix.
Qin Li said that he was the elite of the Ming Dynasty, but Long Deyou nodded with a serious face and said, "It's still Lord Qin who is right, Lord Qin is the elite of the elite of the Ming Dynasty." ”
The admiration and admiration for Qin Li in his words are beyond measure.
Long Deyou's face suddenly showed a bitter face, and he glanced at Qin Li cautiously and said, "Lord Qin, there are ...... There is one more thing that the lower official has to tell you. ”
Seeing Long Deyou spitting and spitting, Qin Li immediately lifted his spirits, looked at Long Deyou and motioned for him to continue. Long Deyou said at this time, "According to the messenger who sent the paperwork, after Lord Qin sent Zheng Yunlin to Yangzhou, Zheng Yunlin was thrown into Yangzhou Prison. But just after noon, Zheng Yunlin died in prison. He didn't have any scars on his body, and he died a strange death. ”
Qin Li was surprised when he heard this, and said that Zheng Yunlin's presence in Jiangdu County had increased the burden on the people of Jiangdu in the past few years, making it a miasma and making the people miserable. The most important thing is that Zheng Yunlin colluded with the White Lotus Sect and made a windfall, and he died innocently. But before the interrogation, it was so unclear and died in a daze. It's a bit too much to say.
Qin Li immediately thought that Zheng Yunlin's death was definitely not accidental, but someone let him die. It is said that although the White Lotus Sect in Jiangdu County has been eradicated by itself, what about the White Lotus Sect in the entire Yangzhou and even the White Lotus Sect in the entire Ming Dynasty?
Speaking of which, the current White Lotus Sect has developed to a certain scale, with a large number of people and pervasiveness. It seems that the Ming Imperial Court will be really busy dealing with the White Lotus Sect for a while.
Thinking of this, Qin Li couldn't help but have a worried look on his face. But then Qin Li was relieved. He thought again, I am just a small county school teacher, take care of my own affairs, protect my own people, and not be bullied by others on my own one-third of an acre of land. As the saying goes, each family sweeps the snow in front of the door, regardless of the frost on the tiles of others.
As for how the imperial court deals with the White Lotus Sect in the entire Yangzhou and even the entire Ming Dynasty, it's none of my business.
It is said that Qin Li's current thinking is still very limited, after all, his position and position, it is impossible to look at the entire Ming Dynasty to consider the problem.
Qin Li laughed and said, "If he dies, he will die, Brother Long, let's not care about anything, it is right to make a fortune in a muffled voice." ”
Long Deyou saw that Qin Li didn't care, so he said goodbye to Qin Li with a smile and hurried to get busy.
As soon as Long Deyou left, Huang Tian walked in happily again. Huang Tian entered the door and said, "Qin Li, good news, great good news!" Master Li Bo Li used thousands of people to drain all the water in the pond, and guess what? As you might expect, the bottom of the pond is just covered with a thin layer of sludge, and the sludge is full of white salt cubes!
Not only that, but around the pond, especially the vast flat land where no grass grows, digging down about three feet, there are also large salt blocks with white flowers underneath!
It's really amazing, now we have made a fortune in Jiangdu, and our entire Yangzhou has also made a fortune. All of this stems from Brother Qin Li, your cleverness and carefulness. ”
Although this was the result that Qin Li had already expected, hearing Huang Tian say it at this time, Qin Li could not suppress his excitement.
After pondering for a while, Qin Li said, "There is such a large salt mine in Jiangdu, this matter must be reported to the Yangzhou Mansion. However, since we discovered it, and the salt mine is in our Jiangdu, we naturally can't give it to the imperial court in vain. Isn't the imperial court always firmly in control of salt? I'll let the court change the rules from me. (To be continued.) )
