Jinyi champion

Chapter 133 Cultivation (addition)
No matter how Zhu Hao refused, a shrewd person like Su Xigui still gave out the gift.

Then it was Tang Yin's turn.

Tang Yin became excited...

Zhu Hao's small wooden box contained eighty taels of red gold, and the small wooden box given to him was the same size, even the carvings were the same, so wouldn't it also contain eighty taels of gold?

But when Su Xigui personally opened the small wooden box to show it, Tang Yin felt a burst of disappointment.

It's not gold, but silver, but it looks more full than the box that put Zhu Haosheng's gold...

"This is a small gift I prepared for Mr. Tang. Mr. Tang came from a long way. I have nothing to entertain you. If you have any troubles in Huguang, just send someone to let me know. I will try my best to help."

Su Xigui's words were not bragging, Tang Yin knew very well that as Huang Zan's brother-in-law who was about to enter the court as a servant, he had the confidence to say such words.

In the past, Huang Zan would have overestimated his capabilities if he wanted to fight against Prince Ning's Mansion, but now he has the strength to fight.

"Mr. Zhu Xiaoguan, I won't stay any longer today. I will be temporarily staying in Anlu for the next few days. If you have anything to do, just give orders. I will leave first."

Su Xigui delivered the gifts that should be given, and didn't ask Zhu Hao if there was room for improvement in the salt drying method, so he just left.

Zhu Hao and Tang Yin sent Su Xigui out of the village together.

……

……

Watching Su Xigui's convoy go away, Tang Yin couldn't bear it anymore, and finally asked the doubts in his heart: "What is the method of drying salt that Dongzhu Su said?"

Zhu Hao withdrew his gaze, turned around and walked towards the village, his tone seemed a little careless: "That's right, I found a method of sun-drying salt from an ancient book, which is even higher than today's stove households who use firewood to fry salt, and the manpower required With very little material resources, the color of the dried salt is better..."

Tang Yin interrupted Zhu Hao's words abruptly: "Zhu Hao, although you are young, you can't believe your dirty words."

"I'm very honest...Mr. Lu, this is indeed the case. If the method of drying salt is not very powerful, do you think I am acting in cooperation with Su Dongzhu? What he said just now was deliberately arranged to deceive Yours, isn't it?" Zhu Hao looked wronged.

Tang Yin was speechless for a moment.

Think about it too.

How shrewd is Su Xigui? I've seen Tang Yin before. Such a person definitely doesn't see a rabbit and doesn't give a hawk, and wants to take advantage of him without giving him a favor?Do you really think that officials and businessmen can do this simply because they have a good brother-in-law?There are many officials and businessmen, but few of them are on the scale of Su Xigui.

"By the way, Mr. Lu, according to Su Dongzhu's habit, he gave you a hundred taels of silver. He should ask you for a painting and use it as a way to polish his pen. Maybe he knew that after you ran away from Prince Ning's mansion, this kind of dissatisfaction with the treacherous The integrity of being in the same boat will surely bring your reputation to a higher level in the future, and your paintings will be more... cough, valuable. You don't need to paint him too much, just one painting, and you can do it for this hundred taels of silver Take it with peace of mind."

While Zhu Hao reminded Tang Yin, he analyzed Su Xigui's behavioral logic by the way.

Tang Yin really wanted to say, I don't need you to remind me, I know who Su Xigui is, and he won't give money for nothing.

"By the way, Mr. Lu, you sold paintings to him before, right? How much was it at that time?" Zhu Hao turned his head sideways, blinked his big eyes full of curiosity, and looked at Tang Yin.

Tang Yin replied coldly: "You kid has too many evil minds, and you don't say a word of truth. You look very clever, but it's not good for your growth... so you can do it yourself!"

Talking about money with literati, you kid is full?

I, Tang, will tell you how much money someone charges for a painting?
Go dream!

In fact, if Tang Yin didn't say anything, how could Zhu Hao not know?
When chatting with Su Xigui before, he inadvertently mentioned that it cost forty taels of silver to buy two paintings of Tang Yin... It may not seem high, but among the calligraphers and painters of this era, except for those top civil servants in the court, who can bring political Except for ministers who are serving or serving as ministers, Tang Yin's remuneration is already very high.

In the past, forty taels of silver was exchanged for two paintings, but now one hundred taels is exchanged for one painting. No matter how noble you are Tang Yin, for the sake of a stable life in the future, you will not refuse, right?

……

……

at sunset.

The people doing farm work in the village came back one after another. As the village elder, Uncle Gen immediately called over a dozen school-age children according to Zhu Hao's request.

Uncle Gen looked ashamed: "The village is made up of refugees, they are not of the same clan, and there are many surnames. If you have something to arrange for them, Xiao Bo, just order them."

The children that Zhu Hao found were all under ten years old, and they looked smarter.

But they all have a common feature, that is, they have not received any cultural education. These days, it is almost a fantasy for children from ordinary families to want to study.

Not to mention that ordinary people have no money for their children to study, and their children have to go to the fields to do farm work to support their families. In the minds of farmers, they don't think that Wenquxing can fall into their own homes, and they don't think that their children will be able to pass the exam after studying. The imperial examination is glorious.

If Zhu Hao directly said to take these children to study and teach them for free, it is estimated that each household will not object at the moment. They think it is good for the children to know a few words, but that is all. I will send the child here again, and it will be useless to persuade me with all my heart.

There must be an original and compelling pitch.

Zhu Hao said: "Uncle Gen, it's like this. My family plans to open a few workshops in the city to make some utensils. They may need some helpers at that time. Why don't these children follow me to learn a craft and choose from among them? It's not bad to know a few words and count, and I will work as an accountant in a shop in the future... What do you think?"

Uncle Gen's eyes lit up: "That's a good relationship."

"Uncle Na Gen asked all the school-age children in the village to come and learn, and then tell the people in Xiakuang Village..."

Zhu Hao let out the words.

It worked.

After dinner, seven or eight children were added to the dozen or so.

It is estimated that some people worried that Zhu Hao didn't know what to do, and he didn't pay much attention to the recruiting of his employer. He heard that he was going to select apprentices from them to go to the city to learn crafts.

Most people in this era are small farmers with serious thoughts, thinking that there is no future in studying, but they can learn a craft...that is definitely a kind of incense for their ancestors.

Craftsmanship can be passed down from generation to generation, and it is like a family heirloom. Ordinary craftsmen will not easily pass on their craftsmanship to people with other surnames, and sometimes even the daughters of the family will not pass it on.

I heard that the master teaches crafts, why don't you hurry up and let your children come to participate in the selection and have a try?
Of course, none of them were girls, they were all boys.

Zhu Hao didn't force it, it was the same problem, even if he wanted to achieve equality between men and women, it would be a waste of effort if he didn't have an economic foundation.

Every family thinks that sooner or later the girl will belong to someone else, and when she grows up, she will have to marry, take care of her husband and teach her children, and send the girl to learn crafts to help her husband's family revitalize the family. What kind of mentality is that?
Besides, what is popular in this era is that women are virtuous without talent. Except for officials and eunuchs, there are not many people who are willing to train daughters...

If girls want to receive education, they have to wait for Zhu Hao to cultivate the first batch of talents. After following him to eat and drink spicy food, there will be a demonstration effect. At the same time, Zhu Hao expressed his willingness to accept girls in school.

"In the next few days, let them come over every day, first teach them how to read, and see which ones are suitable for learning crafts. It doesn't matter if they are a little older, as long as they are open-minded and willing to learn. too stupid..."

Zhu Hao didn't select people right away. For him, the more helpers he has, the better. "I don't use people in vain. If you stay with me, I will pay each person two cents a day."

Uncle Gen hurriedly said: "No need, children are weak, so they can't help the master much."

Zhu Hao said: "I still need it, but I have to make it clear to all the families that when the children are brought in, no matter how big or small they are, they will only be subsidized by two yuan a day. Don't talk about how much work can be done in the field. If you care about me, I will send him It is useless to send the children of the family back, no matter how talented they are, and it is useless to keep the ungrateful ones."

Uncle Gen saw that Zhu Hao was putting his ugly words before him, so he nodded and bowed hurriedly: "The farmer's family is not as complicated as the little boss thinks."

Tang Yin was watching and laughing.

Tang Yin, who has a deep understanding of human nature, understands Zhu Hao's mentality on the contrary. He feels that Zhu Hao has means, and he does not worry about inequality, but the biggest inequality in the countryside is the ability of the children of each family to work in the fields. However, those who can do heavy work may mess with Zhu Hao.

……

……

When Uncle Gen left, Tang Yin couldn't help but reminded: "Zhu Hao, I counted, there are more than [-] children who read and read with you, and by the way, help each other. If you give two Wen a day to each of you, it will be more than forty in one day." Wen, it costs more than one or two taels of silver a month, and they can't help you earn it back."

Zhu Hao said: "Mr. Lu, I can still afford the monthly expenses of one tael, and do you think I will trade at a loss?"

Tang Yin gave Zhu Hao a blank look: "I think you sold them, and they will count the money for you."

Zhu Hao laughed loudly: "Where does my husband say it so badly? In fact, I want to find some assistants to help me do things. What I want to do is a job that doesn't exist in this world. I can do it all by myself. I definitely can't. I need someone to help me." I have done……

"This village is full of my family's tenants. I don't think there is any problem with the children coming to me as helpers to learn crafts. If there are seeds of study among them, I will let them study hard and take the imperial examination. Even if there is no gain in fame, Playing by my side can be regarded as cultivating a close friend from an early age."

After hearing Zhu Hao's plan, Tang Yin stroked his beard with a smile and nodded: "This plan doesn't sound bad."

Zhu Hao went into the room and took out the candle he was carrying with him: "Mr. Lu, I'm going to do research in the laboratory now. Sir, please do your own thing. You can write and draw here, and you can also read my novels and plays." Ben, if you don't simply go back to the house to rest, then you won't bother me any more."

Tang Yin didn't bother to pay attention to what kind of research a kid like Zhu Hao was doing.

But after seeing what Zhu Hao did after he arrived in the village, he couldn't help but arouse strong curiosity in his heart: "Let's go, I just want to see what you are going to do."
