Chapter 351: Literacy
Fan Jingjing's guards did a very simple thing, paying people from nearby to help them carry water.
For people in the vicinity, the mansion uses a lot of water, and the boiling water is also very large.
Many people are saying in private that the people in the mansion are really wasteful, but they can carry water to make money, which is also good for them.
Making money and morally criticizing others with them doesn't seem to be inviolable.
In fact, the needs of the rich are a good way for them to exchange their labor for goods from the rich.
However, the place where you can carry water is not close, and if you want to dig a well, it is also a big project in this era.
The vicinity of Lancheng itself is a place where water is scarce, and although there is a large river passing through it, the large river does not bring much water to the local area.
If you want to dig a well, in addition to finding a good water outlet, more importantly, you must dig very deep.
In this era, there were no explosives, no bricks, and it would have taken many days to do it by hand.
The surface water source is much easier to obtain than the underground water source, although the surface water source has more dirty problems, but the water of Datang is still relatively sufficient.
As for the water to be eaten and drunk, the water can be drawn from underground wells, and then boiled before drinking.
In fact, most people, even wealthy families, are not so particular.
will pay attention to it, often the rich who have money and have nowhere to spend, or the gentry, pay attention to elegance.
The underground material is very complex, and there is no way to detect them one by one, roughly most of the underground water sources are still drinkable, and when the water goes deep into the ground, it is the time of continuous infiltration and analysis.
The problem is that digging a well in the mansion is not a worthwhile business for Fan Jingjing.
The mansion is only rented.
The waste of manpower is also more expensive.
So it's better to move to the war village as soon as possible.
At least dig a well and it will be used later.
And to live in the war village, and to inquire with her about Niu Shijin's news, it didn't have much impact, because the news has feet and can walk.
She had already sent out the message that she needed Niu Shijin.
Of course, she knew that there must be a large well construction in the war village, because for a new village, the standard given by the Fan family manor was that the demand for water must be extremely satisfied.
Fanjia Manor specially sent a water conservancy engineering team to follow, but the number of water conservancy engineering teams is not large, and the main function of the water conservancy engineering team is to guide others to do water conservancy construction.
In Fan Jingjing's plan, the first stage must be a water conservancy project, people who develop new villages, do not need to have a headache to eat, before the harvest, they do not need a headache at all, and after the harvest, if the harvest is good, they will not have a headache, but if the harvest is not good, they must use loans to obtain food.
This is the beginning of the headache, fortunately, if the lender is the Fan family manor, it will not collect usury, but only collect the grain from them at a reasonable price, that is to say, compared to other villages when they are developing, they already have enough advantages.
They should be ashamed of having a better advantage than others and more stable production conditions, if they can't grow more food than others.
What's more, there are many more advanced farm tools brought with them, which can reduce their physical strength a lot, and even some farm tools can replace them in sowing seeds and digging pits.
Using simple mechanical principles, there are so many things that farm tools can do that they couldn't even imagine before.
It's a pity that most of the power sources at this time are fixed manpower or animal power, and the electricity has not yet been connected, if Fan Jingjing comes to the war village with a lotus canopy, the next thing to do may be to develop farm tools with electricity, but this matter must be handed over to the Fan Family Manor Research Institute to do.
For the wisdom of science and technology, for Fan Jingjing, she is strictly guarded, and she doesn't want to give the benefits to others for no reason, otherwise, she won't get the benefits and fatten others first, with Fan Jingjing's little selfishness, she can't do it.
For Fan Jingjing, imitation is stealing, and she doesn't want to give too many benefits to those who imitate stealing, unless the Fan family manor takes the initiative to teach.
But in this era, imitation and stealing, and even reading texts are free, and no one feels that they have to charge money when they spread their academic ideas, and most of the lectures are free.
If you want to apprentice to the master, you must treat the master as a higher existence than the father and support him, so it can be said that there are people who support the elderly.
This was very rare in the Tang Dynasty, and in most cases, if you were poor when you were young, Master would be able to help you, but when Master was older, he would entrust you to become a talented and wealthy person to support Master.
Therefore, if a person wants to apprentice to a teacher, he must be able to influence his life and improve himself a lot.
Otherwise, more people will be more inclined to steal teachers, stealing a little from the east and stealing from the west can also allow them to learn enough skills to live.
In Datang, the value of many things is more than everything.
Even in agricultural production, there is a way to surpass others and achieve good sales, which can become a skill.
It's just that how to make your farm surpass others and be known by others is a very difficult thing, in this day and age there are no advertisements, many things are through word of mouth, or find a way to let others know.
The biggest problem is that people in this era do not know the written word, and even if you spread it out through the written word, people will not necessarily know about it, and no one will tell the written word to those who do not know the written word, because the written word represents the class gap.
It is very rare for everyone in Fan's Manor to know a little bit of writing, and from time to time there are people standing next to the bulletin board to advertise and teach people to read.
Fan Jingjing knows that if you want to carry out the advertising industry, the biggest foundation is actually to let people understand words, otherwise the advertising industry must use pictures to display, but there is no way to display words in advertisements is the biggest shortcoming.
At the heart of advertising is always text.
If people can't recognize the words, then the trademark of the product can not be accepted, of course, people can also write down the trademark of the product in the form of pictures, but after all, it is more difficult to remember.
If you don't understand words for a long time, and don't learn to think through words, your IQ will slowly maintain stability or decline, so why people often say that people are not very smart, this is a certain reason, because they don't provide people with the possibility to become smart.
