Chapter 228: Out of the Haze
Tang Mian rarely saw Qiao Sheng so angry, even when his family came to the store to make a fuss before, he was not as angry as he is now.
She figured out what Thirteen had done to make him angry.
"Thirteen! You say, why do you want to hit someone! What did Qiao Sheng say to your mother! โ
Thirteen is still a child's temper, he feels aggrieved, it is all Qiao Sheng's bad, so messy that his mother followed nonsense, making her cry all night last night, and forced herself to study.
Just when he wanted to sue, he directly said in front of Qiao Sheng that Tang Mian was not.
Aunt Yao pushed the door in, "Mian, it's all thirteen is not good, I'll take him back now, Master Qiao can't help it, it's me, the mother, who can't teach my son, and let you suffer." โ
She dragged him out the door.
"Mother! What are you doing! Let go of your hands! IโI'm not doing anything wrong......"
It wasn't until the voice was far away that Qiao Sheng put away all the hostility on his body.
"Boss, I'm sorry for your trouble." Qiao Sheng's heart was full of bad feelings, since the day he gave the shopkeeper of the Four Seasons Inn, he had caused a lot of trouble to the owner.
Speaking of the Xizhou incident, she lost five million taels of silver at once.
The reason why he wanted to take the top prize was because he promised his mother.
The real effort came from the day I agreed to the owner......
He wanted to be a good official and protect everyone in the store, but in the end, he couldn't even handle his own business.
Even the production of waterwheels has a bottleneck.
Maybe Thirteen is not wrong, he is good for nothing except for some good brains.
"Qiao Sheng, don't think too much about it, what are you talking about with that little fool of Thirteen. Let's go, let's go see Tian Bo's progress, and then you give an opinion. As he spoke, Tang Mian dragged him by the hand and dragged him into the carriage.
It didn't take long for them to come to the outskirts.
Look at the empty land and the craftsmen who are working hard not far away.
He opened his mouth wide in fright, and the whole person was completely in a circle.
What about the granary?
"Owner, Qiao Sheng, you are here." Tian Bo was full of energy, but he didn't expect that the dream that he didn't realize when he was young would come true before he stepped into the coffin.
In order to catch up with the schedule, he found three times as many craftsmen, let them take turns to work, and then gave each person a hundred yuan a day, including food and lodging.
Everyone eats well, the wages are high, and they naturally work hard.
It was at this time that Qiao Sheng learned that Tang Mian was going to build a academy, only accepting children from poor families, and also girls......
"What's wrong? Do you also think that beckoning girls to enroll in school is a little inappropriate? Tang Mian didn't wonder what people thought of this, but she wanted to know what Qiao Sheng was thinking.
"Boss, you're really amazing! Who said that women are inferior to men, it is the opportunity for the girl's family to go to the academy. Landlord! I figured it out, you can't wear down your will just because of a moment of adversity! I'm going to build a waterwheel! Qiao Sheng's dark eyes were bright.
Tang Mian's pupils shrank.
No wonder she always felt that Qiao Sheng was weird recently, it turned out that he had been thinking about the waterwheel.
She suddenly remembered that there was a turbulent river nearby, and the nearby was all their land, and irrigation was indeed very troublesome, anyway, Qiao Sheng had nothing to do recently, so it was better to let him live here and make a physical waterwheel himself.
"Boss, youโare you really willing to let me do the verification in the field?" After listening to it, he was a little excited, and he found out a few days ago that there was still a big difference between the model and the concrete waterwheel.
For example, the topography, soil quality, and speed of river flow are different in each place.
He wanted to rent a place to build a waterwheel, and when the autumn harvest came, no one wanted to rent it to him.
Now that the owner was willing to lend him the field, he nodded unhappily.
"Boss, why did you come back alone? What about Qiao Sheng? "Xiaocui went out to talk about business this morning, and when she came back, she heard from the people in the store about Qiao Sheng and Thirteen fighting.
She personally has a good impression of Thirteen, but she still likes Qiao Sheng a little more.
"Xiaocui, don't worry too much, this fight between filial piety is the most normal thing. I have already enlightened Qiao Sheng, and he said that he would not bother with Thirteen. Tang Mian opened his mouth and began to make up the fact that it didn't exist, Xiao Cui was innocent in the end, and he didn't doubt it at all.
The next day, when Tang Mian asked Xiami to send their enrollment slip to Zhongyi Hall.
The boss of Zhongyi Hall glanced over, and after seeing the standards listed on it, his hand trembled slightly.
Nian Tian Xu threw a look at Yin Zhe and signaled him not to pestle dryly, and hurriedly said something.
After receiving it, Yin Zhe asked tentatively: "Boss, is there something wrong with this enrollment brochure?" Or did Tang Mian not give enough money. Tang Mian said, after that, the matter of selecting people will be entrusted to us Zhongyitang, and all the expenses during this period will be given by her......" Yin Zhexu chattered for a long time.
The boss motioned for him to stop, and then asked him to immediately publish these admissions brochures everywhere, and they began to select people the day after tomorrow.
And this time they don't charge anything.
"What! It's free! Tang Mian was a little puzzled when he learned about this.
Their Zhongyi Hall has always been based on money, and whoever can come up with enough money will take the job.
It doesn't make sense!
She had been exempted from renting the warehouse before, and now she didn't want her money, so she saved a lot of money at once, but why was she so uneasy in her heart.
"Mian, it's true, the boss said, you have to pay out of your own pocket to give these children from poor families the opportunity to go to school, which is a great thing to accumulate blessings and virtues. Naturally, we at Zhongyitang will help each other. Don't worry! According to your standards, the brothers will find a time to send the children here, but your academy-"
Knowing that he was worried that there would be too many people and no place to live, Tang Mian was not worried about these.
Recently, she hired more than 20 craftsmen to build the dormitory first, and the first batch of dormitories should be completed in a month, if she can't live in it by then, the backyard of the inn will not be empty.
After agreeing on some details, Nian Tian Xu left.
I just went out and bumped into the shrimp.
"Master, I will transcribe the contents of the enrollment brochure according to your standards, please take a look." Xiami was a little excited, he invited a few scholars who wrote well today to help write a few, and selected the most satisfactory one to give Tang Mian a wood.
"Not bad! The font is like it was printed, and it's so well written! That's it, post it tomorrow! Tell a guy to stand and answer everyone. We will officially start recruiting students tomorrow. Strive to dare to get everything done in marriage. Tang Mian hadn't felt like this for a long time, he was so excited.
Early in the morning, when this enrollment brochure was posted, it immediately caused an uproar among everyone.
Many businessmen and wealthy families are saying that Tang Mian is crazy.
She had just donated so much silver, rice, flour and medicinal herbs to Xizhou before.
Now he has to get involved in the academy.
Make a school for children from poor families to go to school for free, and also admit girls.
It's just irrational.
It's a loss-making business.
Several bosses who had received Tang Mian's favor visited one after another, and they were not easy to say directly, so they could only point out the problem of the unsustainable development of the academy.
After listening to it, Tang Mian would be sloppy again and again.
Until this day, Boss Sun personally came to the door.
He is a sleek man, but he never hides what he thinks about his friends.
said directly: "Boss Tang, I know you want to help people, but have you ever heard of it, don't you help the poor." Don't look at the fact that there are now 22 academies in the imperial city, which seems to be a lot, but ten years ago there were as many as 54, and it has only been less than half in the past ten years, why! โ
He looked at Tang Mian and asked.
