The hexagonal fan with Wang Xizhi's inscription was still kept by Lin Wanwan in the gloomy nanmu box. For the time being, it was locked in a big wooden box like her famous calligraphy and paintings for preservation.

That afternoon, a messenger came to the town, a letter from Chang'an.

There were three letters in total, two letters were written by Li Lizhi and Cheng Yaojin's wife, Cui Shi, to Lin Wanwan. In addition to greeting Lin Wanwan, the letters also included the approximate profit of the two workshops and shops.

When Lin Wanwan left Chang'an, she agreed with them to pay dividends every six months, at the time of the semi-annual report and the annual report respectively.

Originally, when Lin Wanwan was in Chang'an, everyone shared it once a month.Now that she has left, the mountain is far away, so it has been changed to twice a year.

In addition to Lin Wanwan's letter, Xiao Qingyu also received a letter and gift from Li Zhi in the palace.

Xiao Qingyu held the letter excitedly. Her current literacy is good, but it is still incomparable with Li Zhi's level.

Although Li Zhi is younger than Xiao Qingyu, what he enjoys is the education of the best bigwigs in the Tang Dynasty, and Li Shimin's occasional personal teaching, how can a lazy student like Xiao Qingyu compare.

People in the Tang Dynasty got married early and were enlightened early.When Li Zhi started learning to read and write, Xiao Qingyu hadn't met Lin Wanwan yet, so she could almost be regarded as a little meatball with no ideas of her own.

Later, Lin Wanwan adopted her, and she was more pampered, and basically didn't ask her anything about her studies.

If Datang wanted to be a female official, he had to go to the palace to be on duty, just like Shangguan Wan'er was Wu Zetian's secretary (internal minister).

Lin Wanwan never thought about letting Xiao Qingyu live the life of being with a king like a tiger, and she is super Buddhist in her learning, so she must have let Xiao Qingyu play mainly in her early childhood.

That is, after Cui Ying became Xiao Qingyu's teaching mother, she began to have various demands on her.

It's just that in this requirement, it is more about learning the rules and etiquette of the nobility, rather than various classics and history.

In addition, there is no punctuation in the Tang Dynasty, and the orthodox education must be classical Chinese.

If Li Zhi wrote vernacular, it would be easier for Xiao Qingyu to understand.But because he has received the most orthodox education in the royal family for a long time, it is easy to say.

Naturally, the letter was written in this style.

So now that Xiao Qingyu looked at Li Zhi's letter, there were several things that she couldn't understand.

I have to ask Lin Wanwan with a letter.

Finally, after Lin Wanwan explained it to her, Xiao Qingyu suddenly sighed: "You still need to read more, otherwise you won't even be able to understand the letter."

Lin Wanwan was amused by the appearance of a big kid.

The gift that Li Zhi brought to Xiao Qingyu was a very unique organ beast, which was made for him by a master craftsman in the palace.

Even though Xiao Qingyu has many wooden toys that Lin Wanwan bought from modern times, she must admit that they are not necessarily better than Datang's.

In this respect, modern people have the advantages of broad minds and portable machinery, but those who can walk in front of the grandson of the Tang Dynasty are industry leaders, and the wooden toys they make are more exquisite and beneficial. wisdom.

Xiao Qingyu couldn't put it down when she got this mechanism beast.

So I immediately prepared to return gifts and letters to Li Zhi, which was much more positive than Lin Wanwan.

Lin Wanwan didn't even think about writing a reply immediately, she just sat beside Xiao Qingyu and replied to her guidance.

While enjoying the rare parent-child time, suddenly someone from his subordinates came to report, and some mountain people in ragged clothes came to seek refuge with their expired household registration.

"Oh, then let Yunshang and Jiyue take care of it first, and bring them to see me after washing and eating." Lin Wanwan ordered casually.

"Here." The subordinates took the order and left.

During this period of time, because of the rise of the base in the mountains, many mountain people who used to hide on the nearby hills came to them with their families and were willing to become slaves.

In Datang, as long as you are an adult, it is legal to sell yourself.It is perfectly normal for people who cannot survive to rely on the powerful to survive.

Although the imperial court objected, the effect was not great.

In fact, the current policy of Yan County towards the mountain people adheres to Li Shimin's ideological guidance, and here in Xiao Chong, it is mainly based on the inclusion of the people.

However, there is a lack of good land in Shan County, all of which are mountainous and saline-alkali land. Even if these mountain people have the status of good people after they go down the mountain, they can only be allocated one or two acres of land, and they cannot support the whole family.

You must know that the farmers in the Tang Dynasty were the bulk of the tax revenue, unlike modern times where the agricultural tax has been abolished.

On the shoulders of the peasants of the Tang Dynasty, the whole country was carried.

Good people have to bear the obligations of corvee and taxation. It is enough to feed a small family with such a small amount, and there is no spare time to pay taxes.

Although the policy is that mountain people are naturalized and exempt from taxes for the first three years, they still have to pay after three years.

Therefore, the mountain people are still very worried about this. Under the premise of having a high-quality master like Lin Wanwan, they are naturally willing to come to seek refuge.

In fact, if they are willing to endure some hardships and endure it, life will soon be easier.After all, if you are a slave for a day, you will never change it for generations.

As long as it waits for the completion of the other mountain weirs, the county can usher in a period of skyrocketing fertile land.At that time, the good people will be re-granted land according to the land equalization system. Isn't there hope for the future!
It's just that the ignorant and illiterate mountain people can't see so far.The county government's propaganda is not in place, and it is impossible to completely naturalize the mountain people.

It was cheaper for Lin Wanwan, and the number of "employees" in the family increased a lot.

The strong ones were incorporated into the armed forces, the weaker ones were assigned to the ordinary forces, and some were employed as rough envoys whose main task was farming.

As for the old and weak, women and children, there are really not many, the conditions in the mountains are harsh, and only the young and strong are the easiest to survive.

In Lin Wanwan's two houses in Linjiazhuang and Xiaoxi Town, the number of servants was seriously insufficient according to the standards of the Tang dynasty, and this group of people happened to fill them in.

What's more, in addition to the house, Lin Wanwan now has a warehouse, two shops, an embroidery workshop, and a traditional Chinese medicine hall, where people can be resettled.

Facing the increasing number of servants and students in the school, Mr. Chen and the other masters had already given up struggling.

Anyway, teaching one is teaching, and teaching a group is also teaching.

The scale of the school is also expanding, and now they have begun to divide classes according to age and academic level.

In fact, Lin Wanwan did not ask their parents to sign a contract of sale for the children of the mountain people, and give them a chance to be free when they become adults. This is allowed in the current policy of naturalizing mountain people.

But generally speaking, no one would do this like Lin Wanwan. This is tantamount to opening a private orphanage, and it still pays for schooling, purely giving.

But Lin Wanwan really doesn't mind these expenses, and she can benefit the whole world, and she still has compassion for children.

She didn't take the initiative to do this because she didn't want to attract too much attention. She was already high-profile enough.

But now that some mountain people have come to seek refuge, she will raise and teach their children for them. It's nothing, it's an employee benefit.
