Lin Zhiyun also frowned when he heard this, if only weaving solid color cloth like He Shi is naturally simple, it can teach them to get started directly, and they don't need to learn anything else. But if they can't read or count, how can they be sure that the number and name of the steward are correct?

She will naturally find a steward she trusts, but what if they feel that they have less money and are indiscriminately registered? This kind of thing naturally has to be learned by yourself to be at ease.

"Do you think that literacy is useless for weaving?" Lin Zhiyun had no choice but to give them a special lesson, "Weaving is not just as simple as weaving, and not everyone is good at weaving. Planting, picking, ginning, spinning, dyeing, weaving, I always have to contact you for a while to know which process you are suitable for. The scale of my textile institute is limited, and it may not be able to accommodate so many people in the village, so everyone can go home and do it themselves when they learn the craft. But if you are illiterate, you will inevitably be deceived when you sign a contract with someone in the future. If you can stay in my textile yard, everyone will have to be able to write and calculate to know how much money they make, right? That way, you don't have to worry about someone being able to detain you. ”

Lin Zhiyun talked to them about the importance of literacy and arithmetic, and they listened to it most of the time, but they still grasped the key point in Lin Zhiyun's words, that is, if they were illiterate, they would probably be undercounted and not even know about the money.

Countrymen live a tight life, and they value money the most, where did they get it when they heard this? Hurriedly sat down and humbly asked for advice, hoping to know all the words in one day.

However, some people have raised doubts.

"But there are so many words in this world, if you want to learn them all, how young is that?"

Lin Zhiyun said with a smile: "Not all words can be used on weekdays, everyone first learns the words commonly used in arithmetic, and then learns various color-related words, and weaving cloth must be used." There are also names of various patterns, which must also be recorded, which are nothing more than flowers, trees, birds, beasts, insects, and fish. ”

Lin Zhiyun felt that he had said very little, but listening to the ears of these illiterate women, he only felt that there were too many things to learn, and they were not sure whether they could learn it at all!

Lin Zhiyun felt that this was not a problem at all, although none of the women here were young, they were not too old, and the oldest ones were in their thirties, and most of them were in their early twenties. Women of this age should be able to sit still and their hands are not too rough, so it is still possible to cultivate them well.

She saw that everyone had the intention of learning, so she returned the class to Yang Feixu. It's just that when I saw Shen Yuqi when I stepped down, I couldn't help frowning, it seems that the opportunity of the third uncle's ancestral family is left to Shen Yuqi. She couldn't trust Shen Yuqi very much, if she really let Shen Yuqi enter her textile academy, she was afraid that there would be a lot of trouble. Besides, there are so many girls in the third uncle's ancestral family, but the most uneasy one was sent, which shows that she really doesn't make people worry, and no one can resist her. Of course, it is also possible that she was detained at home by the third uncle last time, and the third uncle felt sorry for her, so he gave her this opportunity as if to compensate.

It's just that she can't drive people out just because she's not very satisfied with Shen Yuqi, there is not only one person like Shen Yuqi in this village, if she starts to pick people up from now on, she will inevitably fall into the hands of people at that time, and it will cause a lot of trouble.

Lin Zhiyun had no choice but to leave as if nothing had happened, and invited the four sisters-in-law of the third uncle's ancestral family and Jiang Xiaohui over, saying that they were used to cooperating with them before, and they had already trusted them, as long as they wanted to learn, they could teach them to weave now.

Naturally, these five people were not unhappy, and hurriedly followed Lin Zhiyun to the Shen family, and looked at the extra weaving room in the courtyard of the Shen family, and were amazed.

"So there's a small textile yard here, too?" Shen Yushan touched the loom and said curiously, "The loom of Sister-in-law Sichuan's house is different from what I have seen before, is the woven cloth also different?" ”

Lin Zhiyun said with a smile: "This loom is improved, and the woven cloth can be much wider than ordinary cloth. ”

Shen Yuxuan asked: "I heard that there is a loom that can weave makeup yarn, I don't know if this is okay?" ”

"Naturally, it is possible, but silk is rare in our county, and it is not easy to weave yarn, so let's weave cotton cloth for the time being." Lin Zhiyun said with a smile, "But it's okay to print cotton cloth, but it's a bit difficult, and you can't get started for the time being." After learning the solid, two-color, and three-color colors, you can try jacquard. ”

The five of them couldn't hide their excitement and nodded, in fact, when Lin Zhiyun proposed to teach everyone to weave, even Yang Feixu was moved. But Yang Feixu has to teach everyone to read during the day, and there is not much time to weave, so that's it. Now that her embroidery work has been instructed by Lin Zhiyun, it is also possible to use trivial time to make purses and handkerchiefs to sell.

"Is everyone literate?" Lin Zhiyun thought about it and still asked this question.

Shen Yushan said with a smile: "The girls in our family have all learned a few words from their grandfather, if it is just a general count, it is not a big problem." Even if the two sisters-in-law didn't learn when they were in their parents' house, they also learned when they came to our house. ”

Jiang Xiaohui said with a smile: "I'm the same, although I haven't learned it in my mother's house, but Xianggong taught me arithmetic and writing, although I don't write very well, but most of the words are recognized." ”

Lin Zhiyun nodded with satisfaction, if this was the case, it would save a lot of trouble.

"Then let's teach everyone to weave a solid color cloth today."

Lin Zhiyun said that she divided the silk threads of different colors for the five of them, and He and Shen Junyao, and she also took a basket of different ones, sat down in front of the loom and taught them step by step. These five people were originally good-natured, and Lin Zhiyun explained very patiently, but she couldn't take care of five people at the same time, and Shen Junyao and He helped explain, so in just one afternoon, all five of them learned how to weave. Although I didn't move quickly because I just learned to move, I only knitted a small section in the afternoon.

Even so, they were happy because it meant that they would soon be able to earn money from weaving. However, the four members of the third uncle's ancestral family couldn't be happy after they went back, because as soon as they went back, some elders at home asked them what they had learned, and they were always not good at lying in front of the elders.

"If they go to learn how to make silk flowers, after all, they have been there before. But now? The Lin family kept saying that she had to learn in the school before she could enter her textile institute, but which of my two good sisters-in-law and two good sisters went to study? Why should I go? ”

Shen Yushan couldn't help but say, "Sister Qi is sorry for what she said, where do we want you to go?" Isn't it you're going to go yourself? The third uncle had originally planned to send the youngest Yuke. ”

Shen Yuke is only five years old this year, and he is at the age of reading and reading, although the third uncle does not let his children and grandchildren be those illiterate stupid people, but he knows only a limited number of words, so he wants to try what the female school over there can teach. However, Shen Yuqi was very unconvinced, saying that the third uncle was too biased, and he didn't let her go to Shen Junchuan's house to help with the work before, but now he finally had an opportunity to learn the craft and didn't let her go. She made too much trouble, burst into tears, and looked extremely pitiful. The third uncle agreed to her as soon as his heart softened, who knew that she would dare to blame people now.

Shen Yuqi said coldly: "Naturally, my fault is not Grandpa, but the Lin family!" She doesn't like me to say it directly, so why make so many excuses? ”

The third uncle also said coldly: "Since you know that she doesn't look down on you, it means that she has behaved very bluntly." Besides, how do you make people look good? Your two sisters-in-law and Shan'er Xuan'er are all honest and honest to let you work, but you are not right, and you want to learn other people's crafts to grab business with others, and people see through your intentions and are naturally unwilling to teach you. In other words, you have the ability to make money, are you willing to teach others to let people steal business with you? ”

Shen Yuqi was unconvinced: "Even if I rob her of business, what impact will it have on her?" Look at how majestic she is now? Not to mention building such a large brick house, he was able to build a school for men and women, and he also built a courtyard for the masters. If she has so much money, why would she rob me of business? She can teach her sisters-in-law, so why can't she teach me? Where did I offend her? ”

"Shut up!" The third uncle snorted coldly, and the crutches knocked heavily on the ground a few times, "Are you willing to be angry with me?" Listen to what you say, what is that? How much people can earn is their own ability, and it is also her own business to teach her skills, and she doesn't owe you, why do you plan her everywhere? If you don't want to go, if you don't go, let Yuke go! ”

"Humph! If you don't go, you won't go, since your sisters-in-law can learn weaving directly, then I can naturally too, who rarely learns those useless things! ”

So on the second day, Nan's sister-in-law personally came to Lin Zhiyun and told Lin Zhiyun that their family was going to change someone to go to the women's school, but the person who was replaced was only five years old, and I don't know if Lin Zhiyun was willing to accept it.

Lin Zhiyun said with a smile: "Naturally, I was willing, I originally thought that each family would find one that could help me work and make money, and go back to supplement my family so that more people could come and learn." Since you've already started to learn how to weave with me, it doesn't matter if you're younger. I think five years old is just the right age, and I can learn everything quickly. ”

Nan's sister-in-law hesitated again: "If you weave cloth in the future, I don't know how much the salary is?" ”

"This is calculated by the piece, and every piece of cloth woven can be taken as a wage, and the more you weave, the more you earn. However, it must be woven well, and if the person in charge thinks it is not good, then it cannot be counted as money. ”

"It should be, it should be." Sister-in-law Nan nodded again and again.
