Chapter 194 Career Plan
Seeing Cao Su leaving happily, Yue Shan was even happier.

At first, I just thought that we were acquaintances after working together for almost two years, and the school reform really needed someone to occupy the hole, so I arranged a position for them.

I didn't expect to find a talent by mistake, what a windfall.

Cao Su is different from Zhou Shangyun. Zhou Shangyun is an old fritter who has been in the officialdom for decades.Cao Suwen would have been at the bottom of the society if he hadn't become a martial artist, relying on the skin of a scholar to make ends meet.

It wasn't until he joined Longshoushan Academy that he had a legitimate and stable job. He was a talent who was truly excavated from the bottom by Yueshan.Be loyal and don't mention it, at least you won't be someone else's spy or something.

If you train them well, you can definitely absorb them as your own staff.

Before, he had been worrying about not having a subordinate who could take care of himself. He had spent so much effort finding a housekeeper, but he didn't expect that there was an unburied talent beside him.

At the same time, it also made him realize that his previous self really wanted to go wrong.Finding ready-made talents is indeed easy to be infiltrated by people with ulterior motives, but you can find some good blanks and cultivate them yourself.

There may not be many people like Cao Su Duwen, but there must be a lot of people like Gu Yi and Chen Yu. Casting a wide net can always catch some people.

And he doesn't expect these people to enter the court to help him wave the flag and shout for the front line, but just help him take care of the property, so there is no need for Zhuge Liang-style talents.

As long as he can complete the work he explained in a satisfactory manner, it will be fine.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help thinking of the fifty scholars who had just been recruited to copy books.There should be many of these people who can be recruited by him.

As for the famous teachers and great scholars recruited by Pei Ju and Li Gang to edit the working group of the Great Dictionary, Yue Shan never thought of subduing those people, it was unnecessary and unrealistic.

He just wanted to invite those who are interested in teaching and educating people to stay as teachers, and those who are ambitious and want to enter the imperial court are so cool to stay.The county marquis of Qingshui is already qualified to pick and choose.

However, this matter is not urgent and needs to be observed slowly. The immediate priority is institutional reform and the development of the tertiary industry.

It seems that it is necessary to add a business department, let Yu Zhiming be in charge for the time being.

Yue Shan knew Yu Zhiming's experience very well. He came from a small businessman's family, and the family had spare money for him to study.It's just a pity that within a few years he encountered troubled times and went bankrupt, and his studies also fell by the wayside.

This experience made him fundamentally different from ordinary scholars. He neither despised businessmen nor handicraftsmen.Maybe the ability is lacking, but it is more than enough to be the head of the academy's business department.

As for which industries the business department will develop, his original plan was to open up wasteland and farmland, breed the industry, and press three work groups.

Farming the land is not for that little food. The yield per mu is too low in this era, and it is almost impossible to increase income by farming.The reason for doing this is to train the students of the academy.He doesn't want to teach a group of pedantic scholars who don't work hard and don't know the grain.

What he really cares about is farming and printing.

Raising chickens, ducks, geese and fish is very suitable for the academy. Chickens, ducks and geese are not delicate and can grow well without much care.Besides, there is Longshou Mountain next to the academy, and enclosing a piece of land for free-range breeding can also save feed.

It is also very convenient to raise. There is a large pit left by borrowing soil next to the academy. After a little repair, it will become a fish pond. Fish can be raised directly, and ducks and geese can also be stocked directly by the pond.

Eggs and meat are things that are in short supply in the market. If the academy can't finish them, they can sell them on the market and make a lot of money.

The reason why ancient people didn't raise poultry in large quantities was not because they didn't want to, but because they didn't have enough feed.People can't get enough to eat, so there is nothing to feed the livestock.

Unfortunately, Yueshan already knows how to breed earthworms and maggots, which are cheap or even costless feeds.

Free-range farming + a little feed + earthworms and maggots can raise a large number of chickens and ducks at the lowest cost.

It is better to say that geese are herbivores, so they can be raised free-range, or let the students cut the grass and throw them into the pond.It can feed both geese and fish.

In fact, Yueshan also knows a breeding method called the classic ecological cycle by later generations, and it has even been written into textbooks.

Chicken + pig + fish + farming.

How to raise chickens has already been said before, so I won’t go into details here.It's just that the chicken's intestines are relatively short, and the food can only digest [-] to [-]%.So their feces contain a lot of protein and more than a dozen trace elements.

It can be used as fertilizer after fermentation, or fed to pigs as feed.Pig manure can be fed to fish.The silt at the bottom of the fish pond can be dug out and used as fertilizer to grow crops.Some of the crops harvested geographically can be used as feed to feed chickens...

Does it sound familiar to everyone?
However, Yue Shan dismissed this seemingly perfect plan without consideration at all.The reason is simple, he will never raise pigs.

It's not that he has any opinion on pigs, on the contrary, he likes to eat pork very much.But as a rural person, he knows better how terrible it is to raise pigs in the era when there were no effective pesticides.

Anyway, he would never raise pigs around the academy, and he would even eat less or no pork.

Not raising pigs does not affect the overall situation. Chicken manure can also be composted and used as fertilizer.Chicken manure, which is rich in more than a dozen trace elements, is definitely the best fertilizer.

Then there is the printing industry, and the academy is well-matched in the printing industry.In later generations, many universities engaged in the publishing industry, and the business was not bad.

Yueshan's conditions for engaging in the printing industry can be said to be unique. First of all, domestic demand is enough to support a small printing shop.

Textbooks, extracurricular reading books, test papers, archives, etc. all need to be printed.Moreover, the reputation of the academy has started, and its textbooks will become the first books for many people to learn, and no one will worry about buying them.

Coupled with the fact that the books in the imperial library are at his disposal, he can print and sell some rare and rare books by famous authors, which is another way.Therefore, it is necessary for the press to do something about it.

But making the Four Treasures of the Study was beyond his expectation.

Papermaking not only pollutes the environment, but also has technical barriers.It is not easy to make high-quality paper, and there is no need to make paper of average quality.

But when he thought about the hard paper used to wipe his butt, he felt that it was necessary to build a paper mill.If nothing else, at least make toilet paper.He's had enough of living without toilet paper.

As for boiling ink... Now that printing is done, the work of boiling ink is incidental.Especially movable type printing requires the right ink.This has to be researched by yourself.

If we wait for suitable inks to appear in the market, we don’t know how many years and months we will have to wait for movable type printing.

The production technology of brushes and inkstones is not very high, and it is the materials that really make the difference between them.

Yue Shan didn't intend to produce any treasures that could be handed down from generation to generation, as long as the mass products passed the quality standard, it would be enough to make money by selling quantity.

At this time, a whole set of implementation plans had appeared in Yue Shan's mind, but he was not in a hurry to say them out.He is still waiting for Cao Su and Yu Zhiming's plan.
