Lu Bu is doing things in the overall situation and the general direction. Now there are more livestock in the counties under Qingzhou's rule, and there are more workshops. With the popularization of iron farming tools, productivity has been greatly improved, grain production has doubled, and the government has collected more and more grain stocks.

The storage of grain requires a lot of manpower and material resources, and it is better to take out some of it to give back to the people.

Chen Gong made an administrative order, and he also made comprehensive considerations before issuing the order.

At present, Qingzhou's administrative and economic development is better than that of Xuzhou, so the construction of the Salesian Nursery is prioritized in the counties of Qingzhou, and the current plan is only to the county seat and larger villages.

After all, remote villages have small populations, and it is inconvenient for parents to send their children to Salesian Schools.

There are several relatively large villages in the suburbs of Haijun and Shouguang County in Beijun, and there are just enough to build a Salesian Garden here.

The county has planned a Salesian Garden here, called the Dongcheng Salesian Garden. Covering an area of 50 acres, there are more than 30 classrooms, lounges, rooms, and guard rooms. The playground is large and allows children to play freely.

The county allocated a lot of bricks, cement, and wagons for the construction of the Salesian Garden. There are supervisors who are sent to take full responsibility for the quality of construction.

The surrounding villages produce strong men, which belong to voluntary labor, and work together.

Early this morning, more than 100 craftsmen were working to build the foundation.

A craftsman asked, "Why is this wall so thick, ordinary houses are only two bricks thick, look at this width of four bricks." ”

The governor smiled slightly, and the corners of his mouth rose: "This is the order of Lord Lu and Lord Chen, the classroom must be built stronger than the county government, and the walls of the four bricks are stable and reliable, which can prevent war and ground movement, you must know that this is your child, and your descendants will go to school here." ”

"Can children from nearby villages come to school here?"

"Yes, starting at the age of three and going all the way up to the age of seven. Learn things and take care of these children at the same time to avoid unnecessary accidents. In the past few years, I have not collected any money, and I have come to the Salesian Nursery for free. ”

Although the craftsmen had heard that this was a place for children to study, they became more credible when they came out of the mouth of the superintendent, and they worked more energetically, and this house was not built for others, but for their own sons and grandsons.

Mao Danniang is a mother of three children, and she took her three children to wash clothes by the river early this morning.

The big hairy egg is six years old, the second hairy egg is five years old, and the youngest little hairy egg is only two years old.

The grandparents died in troubled times, and the child's father got up early and farmed the land in the dark.

I was tethered by three children, I couldn't do any work, and I took care of three children every day.

At this time, an aunt in the village also came to wash clothes, and shouted from afar: "Mao Danniang, Mao Danniang." Good news, good news, great news. ”

Mao Danniang wiped the sweat from her forehead: "Auntie, are you kidding, what good news can I have." ”

"It's true, my aunt didn't lie to you, in winter, at the latest, your three children can go to school at the Salesian Kindergarten, just send them every morning and pick them up in the evening."

"How much does that cost, our family can't afford it."

"Don't worry, don't spend money, don't spend money. The government is free, not only does it not charge money, but it also cares about breakfast and lunch, and the children are blessed. ”

"That's great, the kids are taken care of, and I can go to the farm."

The aunt shook her head and regretted: "You are probably not good at doing farm work with this body, you might as well spin and weave silk." ”

"Where am I going to do this?"

"So what will you do? Or don't you have another baby. ”

"Not giving birth, not giving birth."

Mao Danniang fell into thought for a while, and when she returned to the village at noon, she suddenly heard Li shouting: "Recruit the Salesian Nursery Girl, ask to be able to write simple words, have love, and usually look at it and still play." Eat three meals a day, 150 yuan per month. Four days off each month. ”

Mao Danniang was shocked, although she is the mother of three children, she is not very old, and she is in her early thirties. When I was a teenager, the world was peaceful, and I had learned thousands of words, so I basically met the requirements.

The main reason is that his family has little land, and his husband works alone, barely making ends meet, and it is difficult to see money all year round.

Now this job is 150 wen a month, which is very suitable.

Mao Danniang didn't make a noise, and went to the county to sign up.

When I went to the place, I saw that there were really a lot of registrations. A total of 30 teachers were recruited, and more than 200 people signed up.

The first step is to check the female officer, but anyone with skin diseases, various infectious diseases, weak health, and poor health will not be able to do so.

In the second step, the examiner asks the candidate to write and read.

brushed off most of the people at this level, and Mao Danniang was successfully selected, because she could write hundreds of words, which was enough to teach the children.

The book was handed out and the selected people were sent back to study.

When the school is almost built, there is a simple training.

That night, Chen Gong came to report to Lu Bu on the progress.

"My lord, the cost is still not small. The first batch consisted of 350 Salesian Schools, with bricks and cement, craftsmen's wages, teachers' salaries, and children's food expenses, all of which were a lot of expenses. ”

"It's worth spending a lot of money, it's just an attempt, if it's done well, you have to promote it all. In one county, for example, thousands of children drown, fall, or trample on large animals every year because they are unsupervised or inadequately supervised. There are 1,000 counties in one county, and there are more than 10 counties under the jurisdiction of Qingzhou, which is 10,000 people. It's worth spending a little money to reduce the number of accidental casualties by eighty percent. ”

"What the lord said is that if a child is born, it is in vain not to take care of it, and the purpose of the Salesian Garden is to take care of the child. In this way, Qingzhou alone can have as many as 780,000 newborns a year, and if you remove natural deaths, it can increase by about 500,000 per year. ”

"Far more than that, after the Salesian Garden is put into use, more families can devote their energy to production and life, the work that should be done, and the farming that should be done. It can increase a lot of manpower. ”

Chen Gong deeply felt that Lu Bu was thoughtful, and the matter was really far-reaching.

In this way, women were able to participate in labor, weaving, farming, and working.

Commerce began to flourish under Lü Bu's rule, with merchants of all sizes walking the streets and alleys to do business, buying all kinds of agricultural products and selling all kinds of handicraft products. Gradually, a perfect handicraft system was formed, and almost every larger village had a blacksmith shop, a carpenter's shop, a barefoot langzhong, a midwife, and a veterinarian.

It was a very hot summer, but luckily there were no major floods, locust plagues, etc. throughout the summer.
