Chapter 221 Hope Elementary School

After the Mid-Autumn Festival every year, the people in Lin'an like to go to the Qiantang River to watch the tide, which also makes the lively atmosphere of the Mid-Autumn Festival in the capital continue until August 21, and it begins to gradually weaken around the second day.

Fang Ling returned to Lin'an at noon on August 21,

On the same day, Pu Shou Geng also came to the capital, this time with his brother Pu Shousheng, his son Pu Wenfeng and other Pu family elites, according to the plan, Pu Shou Geng moved the headquarters of the Pu trading firm to Lin'an, and arranged for Pu Shousheng to be fully responsible, Quanzhou's affairs were handed over to the shrewd and capable Pu Shousheng's son Pu Wenyong, and Pu Shougeng himself was ready to run the Red Cross with Xiao Tian,

Although the people of the Pu family are very puzzled by this decision, but they did not ask the reason, and still obeyed Pu Shou Geng's arrangement, for decades, the Pu family can leap from a small business house on the verge of bankruptcy to Quanzhou, and even one of the richest business houses in the country, and Pu Shou Geng's credit is inseparable, in the Pu family, Pu Shou Geng has made great contributions, it can be said that without Pu Shou Geng, there would be no today's Pu Shi firm, which shows that its status and prestige in the Pu family is high, absolutely unique,

I go to Tongle Lou to eat less and less, since Tongle Lou launched the MSG dish series, there are often Korean and Chinese officials to go, I don't want them to recognize me, so I asked Xiao Tian to call the chef of Tongle Lou to Shifeng Commercial Bank, set up Shifeng private dishes, of course, this private dish is not open to the public,

Pu Shougeng arrived at Shifeng Commercial Bank half an hour later than Fang Ling, and after entering the house, Pu Shougeng respectfully clasped his fists and saluted: "Pu Shougeng has seen Huyan Gongzi, Fang Ling girl, Mr. Yuan." ”

I smiled faintly and said, "Mr. Pu has worked hard all the way, sit down." ”

However, Fang Ling and Yuan Jian hurriedly got up and saluted back, "I've seen Mr. Pu." ”

Pu Shougeng didn't dare to sit down, and first introduced Pu Shousheng to me: "Childe, this is the subordinate brother Pu Shousheng, this time he entered Beijing with his subordinates, and is responsible for taking care of the affairs of the Pu family firm in Beijing. ”

Pu Shousheng is the only person in the Pu family except Pu Wenfeng, his age is one or two years older than Pu Shougeng, but his appearance is much more elegant, at first glance he is a literati scholar who has read poetry and books, no wonder Shi Hongsheng is very close to the original Fujian Road system, this Pu Shousheng is the first time to meet the emperor, he can't help but be nervous, and he clenched his fists and said: "His subordinate Pu Shousheng has seen the son of Huyan." ”

I said "um" and said: "This is Shifeng Commercial Bank, the two Mr. Pu, they will be a family in the future, don't be so polite, sit down, Xiao Tian, serve the wine." ”

Xiao Tian nodded and shouted to the outside world, "It's time to serve." ”

I took Fang Ling's glass full of wine and said, "Tonight, one is for Ling'er, the two Mr. Pu will take over, and the other will discuss the specific affairs of the follow-up Red Cross." ”

Pu Shougeng hurriedly said: "Gongzi Xie gave a banquet." ”

Fang Ling said happily: "Brother, what kind of wind are you picking up for me, it's only been a few days apart." ”

"Yes, the ancients had a saying, what is it called, brother think about it, oh, by the way, it is called 'one day is not seen, such as three autumns,' these days are not seen, which is equivalent to several seasons."

Fang Ling's face turned slightly red, and he smiled a little shyly: "Brother, you are making a nonsense analogy. ”

Xiao Tian said solemnly beside him: "Miss Ling'er, Childe is not a random analogy, these days when Childe comes to Shifeng, the first sentence is always, 'Is Ling'er back?', what does this mean, doesn't it mean that Childe doesn't see Ling'er Girl, such as every three autumns, Childe, do you say yes." ”

I laughed, but I heard Fang Ling say: "Xiao Tian, is this Mid-Autumn Festival too comfortable, I want to beg for it." ”

Xiao Tian knew that Fang Ling's martial arts were good, how dare he continue, and hurriedly begged for mercy: "I don't want to, I don't want to, I'll go and urge the dishes." ”

"What's the recipe, this is not a restaurant." I said, "Here, let's have this toast together." ”

The Pu brothers drank it all: "Gongzi Xie." Pu Shougeng continued: "Childe, before discussing the affairs of the Red Cross, my subordinates would like to ask Childe to give instructions on the follow-up affairs of the Pu Firm. ”

"I haven't thought about giving you any instructions for this, it's just business as usual, Pu Shougeng, since Pu Shousheng is your brother, and he has been running the Pu family firm with you for thirty years, I think it's just to be handed over to Pu Shousheng to take care of, I only have one requirement in terms of operation and management, not to violate the laws of our dynasty, and the rest is up to Pu Shousheng, corn, sweet potatoes, etc. ”

"What is this?" Everyone asked curiously,

"Oh, these are what I saw in an ancient book, they are all edible crops, there are countless countries and regions outside of our dynasty, and there are many agricultural products that are not in our country, and if they can be introduced into our dynasty, it will be another creation."

Pu Shougeng originally thought that I would send someone to the Pu's firm to participate in the management, or at least to supervise, but after hearing what I said, he was also a little moved, and he completely trusted, which is very difficult to do: "Yes, Childe." ”

"Brother, this charity Red Cross has heard you say a lot, and Ling'er also wants to join, is it okay?"

"Of course, I hope that more kind people can join in the charity and charity, give their own love, about the specific affairs of the Red Cross, my initial plan is to open a school hall and a medical center in my territory, at present, all parts of my Song Dynasty, especially in the countryside, most of the people can only eat and wear, and they have no ability to send their children to school to study, therefore, the first task of the Red Cross is to open compulsory schools in various places, popularize basic education, and strive to let all children have books to read from an early age, Although this business consumes a lot of manpower, material and financial resources, it is a great good for future generations. ”

"Brother, this is good, Ling'er supports it."

Pu Shougeng thought for a while and said: "Childe, this matter involves a wide range of things, although Ze is a future generation, it is an extremely large project, but Pu thinks you can give it a try, Brother Xiao Tian, what do you say." ”

Xiao Tian immediately nodded and said: "I agree, this is the real thing of Pudu people, no matter how difficult it is, with the son here, I think it will definitely succeed." ”

I smiled and said, "Okay, now that the three leaders of the Red Cross have taken a stand, let's start implementing this project." ”

"Wait." Fang Ling said, "I can also be regarded as a leader. ”

"Well, Mr. Pu and Xiao Tian are the president and vice president of the Red Cross respectively, and Ling'er is also reluctant to be a vice president."

"Ah, can I do it?"

"Why not, Ling'er, your affinity is far above the two of them, and when you do charity, affinity is very important."

"Brother, really."

"Brother will lie to you."

"Okay, I'll try."

"Well, I have also thought of the names of these schools, it is called Hope Primary School, I hope that the children of my dynasty can read and write, and have a skill when they grow up, and I hope that among these children in the future, there will be outstanding talents who can benefit my dynasty, as for the academic content, I do not plan to completely follow the way of today's school, in addition to learning the four books and five classics, it will also increase arithmetic and scientific knowledge."

Fang Ling asked, "I know the numbers, what is scientific common sense." ”

"You all know this number, I will personally compile the textbook, scientific common sense, it refers to the knowledge of various natural phenomena that occur in our era, for example, why there is a difference between cold and hot days, why it rains, why fish can live in the water for a long time but humans cannot, etc., I will ask Mr. Shen Yiqiu and Jerry and Mr. Polo of Lin'an University to help write this textbook."

Chinese, mathematics and natural knowledge are compulsory subjects in primary schools in the future, and they are also compulsory subjects in the school curriculum that I have prescribed for the Ministry of Education that will be formed.

Fang Ling nodded as if he didn't understand: "Mr. Shen is a very knowledgeable person. ”，

Xiao Tian asked, "Childe, where can I find the gentleman from Hope Primary School?" ”

"This is more difficult at the moment, we can think of a way together, for example, we can recruit from all over the country, teach them first, and then let them teach the children of Hope Primary School."

Pu Shougeng said: "Well, this is a way. ”

"Also, I know the writers of the Great Song Dynasty Royal Newspaper, and I asked them to help me do advertising in the newspaper to see if it works."

"Advertising." Xiao Tian suddenly said excitedly, "Childe, I heard that in addition to the capital, this Great Song Dynasty Royal Newspaper is also sent to all parts of our court, so our Shifeng's business, oh, and the business of the Pu Firm, as well as Ling'er's Chengwei Dart Bureau, can also be promoted on it." ”

Fang Ling also seemed to think of something, and hurriedly said: "Xiao Tian, your head is really smart, brother, Xiao Tian is reasonable, for example, my Chengwei Dart Bureau wants to recruit people, can I do propaganda in the newspaper." ”

Isn't this just advertising?

Advertising is a good way to publicize, I should have thought that firstly, the newspaper can make a profit, gradually transition to self-financing, and secondly, it can help businesses to publicize, which can play a win-win effect, which is a common thing in later generations.

It is no wonder that later generations have a high evaluation of the economy of the Song Dynasty, and there are many ways to advertise, but the earliest printed advertisements appeared in the Northern Song Dynasty.

Pu Shougeng also said: "Childe, Miss Fang and Brother Xiao Tian's suggestions are good, you might as well give it a try." ”

"Okay, I'll think about advertising carefully." I continued, "Another long-term business is the popularization of medical centers, our dynasty of medicine on the basis of the Tang Dynasty has made great progress, in addition to the traditional internal, external, pediatric, acupuncture, otolaryngology, in the field of obstetrics and gynecology, surgery, parasitic diseases and ophthalmology and other fields have also created an unprecedented new situation, and folk medicine is also booming, in this way, the health and life expectancy of the people of our dynasty have been improved and increased to varying degrees, but, as I said before, I have been in the slightly remote villages, People can only eat and wear, they do not have more financial resources to study, to see a doctor, and in those backward areas, there are very few medical centers, most people have to wait until the arrival of the Lang Langzhong, but we all know that the disease will not give you time to wait, so the popularization of the medical center is also a good thing for the benefit of the people of the world, of course, the difficulties it faces are as big as the popularization of the school. ”

Pu Shousheng, who had been silent, finally couldn't help but praise out loud: "Gongzi is really a bodhisattva, and he is merciful and compassionate. ”

I smiled and continued: "Both of these matters will be the long-term basic work of the Red Cross, and the others, such as the relief of the affected areas, are temporary affairs, and the three of you can decide for yourself, if you have any suggestions." ”

Xiao Tiandao: "No, Childe, there will definitely be many problems in the operation of the Red Cross, and it is not too late to discuss it then." ”

"Well, by the way, Mr. Pu, have you chosen the address of your Pu's firm in Beijing?"

"Back to Gongzi, Brother Xiao Tian has already helped us get it all."

"Yes, Xiao Tian, where."

"Childe, the site of the Red Cross is directly opposite the Shifeng Commercial Bank, and I have also bought a house near it, the place is large enough to be used by the Pu Commercial Bank, so that Mr. Pu can take care of the affairs of both sides."

"Ha, Xiao Tian, you think really thoughtfully." Fang Ling said, "Brother, I almost forgot, Sister Lin Ying wrote to say that she would come to Lin'an in the near future." ”

"Lin Ying, how could she come."

Fang Ling looked at me and smiled, "Brother, I think I'm here to listen to you sing." ”

"Listen to the music." I laughed and said,
