Chapter 77 In the fiefdom, all the staff are literate
According to the information booklet of the previous bad people, this Qi Ping should be a descendant of a lonely nobleman, and after the prince, he must know how to forbear.
After being low-key and forbearance for so many years, after Li Jiancheng could not see hope by his side, he became Yang's right-hand man.
As soon as the Yang family was beaten into the cold palace, Yang Yan died, this Qi Ping immediately started, you said that Qi Ping didn't have this idea before, and the ghosts didn't believe it.
This is called everything is ready, only the east wind is owed.
But He Chen didn't know the twists and turns, so he was just happy.
"Now that the coal mine is starting to expand, I calculated that when the time comes, a city can contribute tens of thousands of taels of silver a day, and we two brothers will be lying down to make money at that time."
"The most troublesome thing now is the iron-making things in the edict sent by His Majesty today, there are a lot of restrictions, and the salt and iron are taken by the palace, and at present, except for Chang'an and Luoyang, I haven't made money anywhere else, but it's fast."
"This year is not good, everyone has no money in their hands, and there are few people to build houses, although the lime is selling well, it is still far from our goal."
Li Hui doesn't care about this now, why hasn't this kind of thing come out yet?
"Where's the glass?"
He Chen pursed his lips and smiled, "You think you remember this stubble, haha, Chen and I don't say anything else, we can make the glass in the world as cheap as sand." ”
"I have already saved tens of thousands of pieces of glass, and it may be hundreds of thousands after a while, and when the time comes, I will send people to run all over the Tang Dynasty, and those merchants in the Western Regions will not be allowed to die."
Li Hui is finally a little impressed with He Chen now, this idea is very real and bold.
"Oh? You don't want to starve those merchants from the Western Regions to death, do you? ”
He Chen looked at Li Hui in horror, "How could you have such an idea?" ”
"Am I the kind of person who is not approachable?"
"I must have my reasons for doing this business, just give them back and forth when the time comes!"
He Chen stood up, spitting smoke rings in his mouth, "What do you think, those people came to Datang for nothing, and they lost money, they definitely don't dare to go back, at this time, I will let them go back with Datang's glass one by one, make the difference, let them go back with Datang's wine, go back with Datang's lime, and go back with our paper......"
After hearing this, Li Hui finally confirmed one thing, that is, He Chen is not without talent, but no one has ever discovered his talent.
Give him a stage, he can do better, but it's a pity that he was born in this kind of family, which hindered his development, fortunately he met Li Hui, otherwise He Chen might still be the son of that gentleman, and he would be drunk all day long.
"Yes, but I think we can add some other conditions, let's go, let's have a drink, I'll tell you..."
In the second half of the night, when He Chen came out of Li Hui's room, as if he had obtained some kind of peerless cheat, he went to the paper workshop in a hurry.
Li Hui's suggestion is not difficult, that is, to use some special molds to make some special glass, similar to the limited edition of later generations, and to go more thoroughly on the road of commercialization.
All countries come to the dynasty, no matter where the merchants come to the Tang Dynasty, they have to go through this exploitation, and if they want to make money at that time, they have to serve the merchants of the Tang Dynasty and serve Hechen.
The winter of the first year of Zhenguan passed too quickly, and what Li Hui did at home every day was either to go around the farmland or count the money.
Six hundred thousand taels of silver quickly turned into one million taels in less than a week.
Today, Li Hui got up early and stretched out against the rising sun, and the two little girls were also doing radio gymnastics on the side, although they looked crooked, but it had something to do with Li Hui's poor teaching.
The construction of the Hou Mansion was finally completely completed, and the whole building was neatly arranged, with farmland in front and farmhouses in the back, small bridges and frozen flowing water on the left and right, and a long official road on the right, leading to all directions.
Li Hui is a person without any ideals, before the crossing, he simply hoped that he would find a better job, the requirements were not high, just be able to support himself, and then meet a girl he liked, and then have a warm family to support his parents in old age.
A lightning bolt made Li Hui in later generations disappear completely, and Li Hui in Datang is essentially the soul of that Buddha, as long as everyone is well, he is very satisfied.
Farmers are about to hand over all kinds of eggs today, and the stocking operation, which has lasted for more than a month, seems to have paid off.
The three hundred households are now waiting in the cold wind, Ma Zhou is sitting at the table, Yang Er and Tian Er are in charge of counting, and there are other servants behind them who are responsible for collecting and sorting, and the eggs of chickens, ducks and geese are to be separated.
Seeing Li Hui coming over, one by one the farmers rubbed their hands excitedly, their faces were red and their ears were red, and they were caught off guard, "Hello Master Hou!" ”
Li Hui nodded, these farmers should have eggs to eat now, right?
"Is there still a shortage of food at home?"
These people should be able to eat enough now, after all, the food brought from the south is not small, the crisis caused by the famine has long passed, and everything is waiting for everything to restart next year and get on the right track.
"Master Hou, my family has enough food to eat, and you pay a lot of wages, and the family can't spend so much money."
"That's good, are the kids going to school?"
Li Hui doesn't want these children of peasant families to continue to be farmers in the future, they must have dreams to be humans, otherwise what is the difference between them and salted fish?
"Master Hou, what kind of school do our peasant children go to, learn a craft, and they won't starve to death in the future."
Li Hui immediately frowned, "This is not good, don't let the child go to school, get out of my fiefdom immediately." ”
As soon as Li Hui spoke, the old peasant's face stiffened.
Other farmers were also stunned.
What's going on? How did Master Hou say that if you get angry, you will get angry?
Li Hui shook his head at this time, "What do you people know, Datang will soon enter the prosperous era, and a craft can make children starve to death, but is this your original intention to have children?" That's what you're giving birth to? ”
"It's probably like this in your life, with your face facing the loess and your back to the sky, but don't you envy those literate servants in the Hou Mansion?"
"I tell you, in the future, there will be more and more farmers who can read and write, not only do you have to send your children over, but you also have to know a few words if you are fine."
As soon as Li Hui finished speaking, everyone was silent.
There was embarrassment on their faces, but in the face of the class gap, they still chose to nod.
"Don't believe it, the literate servant can get more wages, and even if you go out to work in the future, the literate will always be the first to be picked out."
"You have suffered this loss yourself, can you let your children suffer this hardship with you again?"
After Li Hui finished speaking, Ma Zhou immediately smiled, "Master Hou, how do you know these rough billets, they don't want their children to get ahead, forget it." ”
These farmers are all embarrassed, although the people of Datang don't know how powerful they are, but Ma Zhou is so agitated, he instantly understands.
"Master Hou, don't worry! We'll send our children to school when we go back! ”
