Fortunately, several children did not learn from him.

Li Qingzhi and the others ate soup stewed with pork ribs, and the female workers ate the same.

The pork fat bought back is boiled in lard, and then the oil residue is boiled in a pot with lean meat, tofu, and green vegetables, and everyone can bring water to a large spoonful of soup, and the body is warm after eating.

The female workers in Miaoqian Village all ate happily.

"My mother came to see me the other day and said that I looked like a city man completely."

"My cousins envy me, but it's a pity that they are not from Miaoqian Village, so they don't have a chance to come here."

"Eat meat at once, I'm a lot taller this year!"

……

As they spoke, they inevitably talked about waiting for Jin Xiaoye to teach them how to read.

"I didn't expect that I would have to learn to read and write one day, and I don't know if I can learn it."

"I'm also worried that I won't be able to learn, because I heard that it is difficult to learn to read."

"It's hard to learn, I want to be a shopkeeper in the future!"

……

Some of these girls in Miaoqian Village have reached the age of marriage.

If they were still at home, they would have already started talking about other people, or they would have been married altogether.

But they came to work in the gold leaf embroidery workshop.

Originally, their parents just wanted the family to have one less mouth to eat, and wanted them to learn a trade.

But seeing them change from head to toe, they can still take home some money......

Their parents changed their minds and were not in a hurry to let them get married.

Some parents also asked them to take home the clothes that Jin Xiaoye made for them to wear for their sisters-in-law, or take home the daily necessities that Jin Xiaoye prepared for them to use for their brothers.

Fortunately, Jin Xiaoye said that they were not allowed to take the things given to them by the embroidery workshop home for others to use, and they did not return to the village on weekdays...... Before, at most, they used the pocket money given to them by Jin Xiaoye to subsidize their families.

Jin Xiaoye didn't stop this, and if she didn't say anything else, she just said that the golden cat was ...... Jin Mao'er's family often can't eat, can she still not let Jin Mao'er give her father and mother the hundreds of dollars she saved?

The only thing Jin Xiaoye can do is to make more fixed regulations, so as not to let these girls be oppressed by their families. After eating, it was time for Jin Xiaoye to tell the female workers before, to learn to read and count.

After Li Qingzhi and Jin Xiaoye discussed, they finally decided to let Jin Xiaoye teach these girls, and Li Qingzhi watched from the side.

As for the enlightenment textbook, Li Qingzhi wrote some simply, and if he was sure that it was easy to use, he would use the printing tools on the side of Juewei Zhai to print more, and use them for the students in the school in the future.

Jin Xiaoye gave lessons to the people in the Golden Leaf Embroidery Workshop and chose them directly in the courtyard.

It's not completely dark yet, but it's already a little dark in the house, and it's best to have classes in the yard.

Jin Xiaoye had a lot of prestige in front of the female workers in Miaoqian Village, and when she saw Jin Xiaoye take out a wooden board with white paper, a brush and a bamboo pole pasted on it, these female workers were sitting precariously.

As for Jin Xiaoye, she wrote "one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight and ninety" on a blank piece of paper, and wrote the corresponding Arabic numerals, and taught these girls numbers and calculations first.

Daqi does not have Arabic numerals, but they don't take the imperial examination, so they learn casually.

Jin Xiaoye was a little worried before giving lessons to the female workers, afraid that she would not be able to teach them well, but she got used to it after a while.

What if you can't teach it well? She can teach as much as she wants!

Jin Xiaoye, who was standing on the podium, looked radiant, and his whole person seemed to be glowing.

Li Qingzhi

Looking at her, I couldn't help but laugh.

In the following time, Jin Xiaoye gave lessons to the female workers in Miaoqian Village every day, and Li Qingzhi released a rumor that his school was going to recruit a few literate gentlemen.

Li Qingzhi doesn't ask how good these gentlemen's knowledge is, just be ordinary, after all, what they want to teach are some people who have no foundation at all.

But he asked these gentlemen to be flexible, to be open-minded, and that they had to be people who could accept new things.

Again, what he wants to cultivate is not the talents who participate in the imperial examination.

According to his idea, the gifted students from his academy would become stewards in the future, such as Juewei Zhai, the Golden Leaf Embroidery Workshop, or other industries he had established.

And those who are gifted in it can become his right-hand man and help him develop his power.

He plans to slowly take out the things in his memory, subtly change the lives and thoughts of the people of Daqi, and wait for dozens or hundreds of years, maybe there will be a revolution and overthrow Daqi.

And the forces he has built up will protect his family in the process.

Li Qingzhi thought so and began to write the textbook.

He has always found Daqi's traditional Chinese characters troublesome and wants to introduce simplified Chinese characters.

But now is not ripe, and his students will have trouble learning simplified Chinese characters and not being able to read traditional Chinese characters.

So Li Qing still uses traditional characters, but he adds punctuation marks to his textbooks. Modern children are exposed to various languages from an early age, and it will be much easier to learn to read and write, but people in this era are different.

The people of Daqi have lived in a world where there is no writing since childhood, and it is actually a bit difficult for them to suddenly learn to read and write.

If only then we gave them a dense book full of words...... They will definitely feel dizzy and unable to learn, and it should be much better to add punctuation and leave more space when typesetting.

You can even add some drawings...... When printing "Shen Grievance Record" before, Li Qingzhi learned about the printing technology at this time, and he felt that he could engrave some pictures of the right size and insert them into the typesetting.

As for how to carve ...... This kind of carving has to be reversed, and it is reasonable to find a professional to carve, but this is not difficult for him.

Li Qingzhi planned to buy some suitable wood and come back to carve it himself, just for leisure and entertainment.

While Li Qing was busy with all kinds of miscellaneous matters, the Shen family's fleet set off from the provincial capital and headed for the capital.

The fleet docked at the new wharf in Chongcheng County for a while, and after Wu Baichuan joined, it headed north.

The speed of the Shen family's fleet going north has not been fast.

This time, the head of the Shen family and the wife of the Shen family followed the fleet, and everyone thought that the speed of the fleet would be slower.

However, the opposite is true...... The head of the Shen family urged the fleet to go faster every day, and he almost didn't stop to rest on the way, looking like he was eager to rush to the capital immediately.

Wu Baichuan and the businessmen who followed him were a little unaccustomed to it.

Finally docked at a wharf, because they could rest for a night to replenish supplies, Wu Baichuan and the others were excited.

They found a bathhouse to take a bath, and while bathing, they wondered.

"Why are you in such a hurry to enter Beijing this time?"

"Even if you're a few days late, you don't have to?"

"I can't find a place to rest."

……

Everyone complained for a long time, and then a businessman, who was not young and had not spoken at first, said, "You don't know that...... The head of the Shen family has always been like this. ”

"And this?" Wu Baichuan asked.

The merchant touched his gray beard: "When he was young, he often led caravans to the capital himself, and every time he hurried to urge the fleet to go faster...... At that time, it was said that he was in a hurry to go home to accompany his wife, but now it seems that it is his nature - this time Mrs. Shen went with him, and he was more anxious than before! ”

The head of the Shen family is really an impatient, and he is walking so fast with Mrs. Shen, he is not afraid that Mrs. Shen will not be adaptable?

I heard that she was a squeamish lady!

Speaking of which...... None of them had seen Mrs. Shen all the way, so Mrs. Shen shouldn't have been uncomfortable, so she had been lying in the cabin, right?

Everyone sighed, and after taking a shower, they returned to the boat to rest.

The next day, before dawn, they continued on their way.

In mid-November, their fleet finally arrived in the capital.

If the head of the Shen family didn't follow...... According to the previous speed, even if they went out five days earlier, they had not yet arrived in the capital at this time!

This way...... Go so fast!

Chapter 168: The Situation in the Capital

Wu Baichuan got off the boat and stepped on the dock in the capital, but he didn't feel down-to-earth.

He always felt that his whole person was still rippling on the surface of the river.

And that's not all...... After this part of the journey, he felt that his clothes were wide, and his whole body seemed to be about to float. During this time, he was really tired, and he always felt that he had lost some weight.

The crew he hired was even more tired, and Wu Baichuan saw them sitting in the bow of the boat, and he didn't want to move at all.

The crew of the Shen family's fleet were the same, but while those crew members didn't want to move, their eyes also flashed with excitement.

There is no other reason, the main reason is that the head of the Shen family gave too much silver.

Although this trip was tiring, the head of the Shen family promised double the salary!

The crew members who go out with the fleet like this have a good income, and they can earn twenty taels of silver for a total of three or four months, which is doubled...... That's forty taels!

So all this time, they have been desperate.

Now it's time for your destination...... They can get a good night's sleep for a few days!

"Finally in the capital!" The head of the Shen family got off the boat.

He wore a hat to hide his baldness, and he was very excited when he stepped on the ground.

Along the way, others are tired, and he is tired.

He has been pampered in recent years, and he is no longer suitable for such a fast-paced life.

It's only been less than half a month, but he always feels that time has passed extraordinarily long.

Mrs. Shen followed behind the head of the Shen family.

Although the fleet walked together, everyone took different boats, and Mrs. Shen didn't get off the boat all the way...... The shopkeepers in the fleet have never seen Mrs. Shen.

In the fleet, there were also rumors that Mrs. Shen was sick because she was too tired to travel.

Can ...... now

Wu Baichuan and the others were a little dazed when they saw Mrs. Shen's appearance.

Mrs. Shen looked radiant and radiant.
