Chapter 109 Development begins with literacy

When Su Zhiyuan saw Hua Wushang's shy look, he originally wanted to be my girlfriend, but the words stopped. In this era, there was no boyfriend or girlfriend saying this, only getting married! Su Zhiyuan didn't expect getting married yet, and he felt that it was a bit early for him.

Hua Wushang's little maid also walked away, and only the two of them were left at the scene. Suddenly, she felt that the two acquaintances were a little nervous and didn't know what to say, so she sat down against the table.

"I'm sorry for you, Wu Shang, I agreed to let you be the accountant. I didn't expect you to be the shopkeeper."

"It's nothing. I haven't passed by the business yet, I'm afraid I'll mess it up."

"You originally said you wanted to wait for a man who was willing to redeem you, but I didn't expect that I would take you away. Would you blame me for destroying your marriage?"

Hua Wushang seemed a little embarrassed: "If I don't come with you, I will go to Chang'an, anyway, I will go there, so why are there any marriages or not?"

"The moon is so round today!"

"Where did the moon come from today?"

Su Zhiyuan was a little embarrassed. He said that the moon was full just to ease the atmosphere, and he felt a little stiff.

"Are you afraid that Miss Xiaoju will misunderstand if you give me something today?"

"What does it have to do with Xiaoju?"

Hua Wushang asked all his doubts over the past two days, and it turned out that it was his visit to Xiaoju's room.

Su Zhiyuan had no choice but to explain that he had no relationship with Xiaoju. He only regarded Xiaoju as his sister. Hua Wushang also knew that Xiaoju was sent by Lu Wushuang. Seeing Lu Wushuang and Su Zhiyuan hugging each other like that, he couldn't help feeling a knot in his heart. Is it considered a pursuit to give her things now?

For some reason, Su Zhiyuan completely told the things that happened between Lu Wushuang and him from beginning to end. It was late at night. Hua Wushang also listened carefully, not paying attention to the passage of time.

"Actually, there is no element of love between me and women. Lu Wushuang has a man she likes. At that time, she drank too much and that a little unbearable scene happened."

"What exactly does the Wushuang girl want you to do for her?"

Su Zhiyuan sighed: "Actually, I don't know. This woman is very powerful and I don't understand what she is going to do, but don't worry, no matter what, I will definitely protect you."

At this time, the candlelight was a little dark. Hua Wushang reached out to take a stick to carry the candle. Su Zhiyuan noticed that a piece of skin was broken on her hand.

"Your hand is broken, I'll take a look."

Su Zhiyuan held Hua Wushang's hand in his palm and gently rubbed it: "How did it break? Does it still hurt?"

"I've been learning embroidery these days, but I accidentally stabbed it and it doesn't hurt anymore."

Maybe she felt that this made Su Zhiyuan feel unreserved when holding her hands. Hua Wushang pulled her hands back, and she couldn't see the expression on her face clearly under the light of the candle.

In the Tang Dynasty, men and women were very open and got married very early. Because of Su Zhiyuan's age, many matchmakers came to him, but he refused.

"It's too late. I'll go back to rest. Zhiyuan, you can rest early."

Hua Wushang went back. Su Zhiyuan recalled that he would explain his relationship with the two women. Suddenly he felt that Hua Wushang might be a little interested in him. He should not be the kind of relationship he had with his confidant. His heart was beating a little hard.

Su Zhiyuan is not a fool, but he is indeed a real honest person in terms of relationships. He has never expressed his love for Wushang, but the relationship between them is so far now. Think about it carefully, if Su Zhiyuan did not marry Hua Wushang, wouldn’t he be a beast? He came out of the brothel with you and left with you. In an era like the Tang Dynasty, in the end, you don’t want others, how do you let others deal with themselves, let alone others are so good?

There were two villains in my mind, one said that she could not let her down, and the other said that she would marry her.

He didn't want to get married too early, but thought of Fang Buping's wedding that day, and the couple was sent to the bridal chamber.

I was so excited to think about it this way!

Su Zhiyuan went back to lie on the bed and didn't fall asleep. He waited until dawn before he fell asleep with his longing for love.

For a talented woman like Hua Wushang, Su Zhiyuan is neither the traditional talent nor the brave and invincible general type. However, for some reason, she can leave such an impression silently in her life, so that when Su Zhiyuan finally let her come to An, she agreed by nature.

At noon the next day, Su Zhiyuan got up, and the county government had already gathered with private school teachers in the county. The yamen runners did not dare to disturb Su Zhiyuan when they learned that Su Zhiyuan had not gotten up.

"I'm really sorry. I encountered something yesterday, so I slept very late at night. Today I'm asking you all to come over and I have something to ask for."

This county is not big. In fact, only seven people came to the private school teacher, and the yamen runners also told the purpose of Su Zhiyuan asking them to come in advance.

An old man in yellow in the yellow was the first to speak out: "Sir, you want us to teach the people to read, but Lin'an is so big, it is probably difficult for us to do it."

"Yes, sir."

Everyone agreed.

Su Zhiyuan had already understood in his heart. Maybe it was because he had no money, so he didn't plan to let these people work for nothing.

"Don't worry, I will send someone to post a notice to let the villagers come and study. You don't have to run around. At that time, I will be at the Sanchakou on the edge of the city. I will ask someone to build a platform so that you can teach them to read. This is the salary."

Everyone's faces were not good-looking, but when they heard the last sentence, they all became excited. What? Is there still wages, so it's not in vain!

"I give you three times the money you teach on weekdays, but it is not an easy job to teach the people to read. You will take turns to class, and the words you learn start with the most basic and simplest words. Oh, by the way, if you don't want to do anything before you start, you can put it up first."

Two of the seven people stood up, and they thought it was ridiculous. They didn't expect that they would have three times the salary. They were not short of money. Teaching Bai Ding was an insult to them.

"I don't force myself. If I want to stay, I can leave now if I don't want to."

After the two private school teachers left, there were still five men left on the scene. No matter why they had to give lectures to Bai Dings, they still had the temptation of three times their wages.

"Before you ask you to teach the people, I have something to teach you. The first is your teaching tools. I recommend you something more effective than your current lectures. The first is the blackboard and the second is chalk."

Black dye is not difficult to get. When it is splashed onto a wooden board and dried, it is made into a blackboard. The chalk is made of white clay powder. It is not difficult to find some white clay powder calcium carbonate in the Tang Dynasty. You can find it in the quarry outdoor streams.

Originally, the private school teachers were thinking about how to do books, but they didn't expect that Su Zhiyuan would even lose the textbook matter after saying this. Just a blackboard and chalk would solve these things.

At this time, the white clay powder was called chalk, and it was also sold in the market, so it was not difficult to make chalk. The mold can be mass-produced with mixed water solidification. The application of molds had already appeared in the Tang Dynasty. The appearance of chalk was not a rare thing, but there was no use of chalk blackboard at this time.

After describing this, the private school teachers felt that this plan was feasible and expressed their knowledge. Unexpectedly, the county magistrate was so at a young age and still understood the matter of learning.

"There is another point of arithmetic. I will teach you, and you will teach the people."

As he said that, Su Zhiyuan took out a pile of paper with the addition and subtraction multiplication formulas he wrote and Arabic numerals were clearly visible at a glance.

I have spent a lot of time when I was teaching these gentlemen, but these people are still quite able to learn. Although they learn very quickly, they still need to be proficient.

After the private school teacher left, Su Zhiyuan sent someone to purchase chalk and make blackboards, and posted a notice saying that a few days later, the teaching lecture hall was set up at the three-chakra intersection on the edge of the city, so that the people could learn calligraphy without charging any money.

Although many people are illiterate, there are also many scholars who are illiterate. Looking at the notice, they spread such content. Many people think it is very novel. In the past, they did not have money to not let their children go to school. Now, it is not enough to teach the public to read. It is a good thing that is supervised by the county magistrate!

Many people are waiting with anticipation when they know about such things. Many strong men come to the county government to register to help build a classroom for free, and ask happily: "Master, can I ask my child to come here to teach?"

Su Zhiyuan laughed: "No problem, anyone can come. It's good that the people know how to read. In the future, there will be no ignorant words. I will not only teach you how to read, but also teach you more knowledge. At that time, everyone can do business and everyone can open a shop."

The villagers were so passionate about hearing that some even knelt down and kowtowed to Su Zhiyuan in the street. Su Zhiyuan hurried to help him. If it were put in modern times, it would be another big news.

Relying on the county magistrate's salary, it was a foregone conclusion that Su Zhiyuan was in business. Hua Wushang was supervising the decoration of several shops. Su Zhiyuan planned to open a clothing store and a restaurant was a considerable expense. Now a month is almost over, and he has spent a lot of money. He has to learn to prepare for the future.

Not long after, there were dozens of people who volunteered to come to Sanchakou to build a school, which was enough.

There is no one in Sanchakou just a major transportation road on the edge of the city. The area here is very wide and many people from villages have to pass by here, so the school is placed here.

Su Zhiyuan paid for the stone and wood to transport it here. Many of the people were skilled people. They started working hard, working hard, laying foundations and piles, and they were very busy.

Seeing that the school was built here, the surrounding land must increase in price in the future, Su Zhiyuan planned to buy it first. By the way, the price of paper will increase as the people around him learn to read and sell it more. He should open another paper mill.

Su Zhiyuan originally wanted to do some greening, but when he saw that there was greening everywhere except for this small county town, he gave up this idea.

As a yamen runner, he was originally working in the yamen, but Su Zhiyuan was like a waiter. Even though there were several people, he couldn't be busy.

Buy wooden boards, find someone to customize chalk, and go to the cloth store to find dyes. If it weren't for Su Zhiyuan's identity, it might be very troublesome to do these things, not just money.

After a long time of busyness, I finally took a rest. When I saw Xiaoju next to me, I remembered to ask Lu Wushuang about it.

"Did Lu Wushuang tell you anything?"

Xiaoju remembered Lu Wushuang and Su Zhiyuan that day, and didn't know what happened, but she was obviously very curious.

"No, Sister Wushuang said nothing."

"You said Lu Wushuang looks so beautiful. Is that young man a eunuch? Why aren't he attracted to her? Lu Wushuang drank too much in the middle of the night and treated me as that young man to vent, which made me not sleep well and was slapped."

Xiaoju sat on tiptoe and shook her body: "Actually, Mr. Fan should have feelings for Sister Wushuang. However, Mr. Fan is now a diner in the royal palace. He always wants to establish a career, so he has been reluctant to marry Sister Wushuang. Sister Wushuang is infatuated with him and helps him like this. In fact, Sister Wushuang is also pitiful."

"I've been all diners in the royal palace. Is there any business I want to build? Can't I become a relative?"

"He has quarreled with Sister Wushuang many times, and always said that others don't understand his ambitions. Now that I think about it, the hardest thing is Sister Wushuang."

Su Zhiyuan thought to himself, could this Young Master Fan be the person behind Lu Wushuang? No wonder Xiaoju said she would assist him. It seems that she would be out of here. However, he is a diner in the royal palace, but he doesn't know why a talented person like him doesn't get fame and fortune by himself and has to make achievements. Could it be that he wants to be the emperor by himself?

According to Lu Wushuang's initial tone, he was just a chess piece. Could it be that this person named Fan was playing a big game of chess? He controlled the officials of the court, made money, food and people, and then rebelled?

Su Zhiyuan was shocked by his thoughts, but this was the Tang Dynasty more than a thousand years ago. What wouldn't happen? Many things were drowned in the torrent of history and would not be known to future generations. History that can be known is an extremely small part. It is said that there is no salt or wheat in this era, but Su Zhiyuan came over and found that it was not like that at all. Could it be that he was not the real Tang Dynasty?

Su Zhiyuan no longer thought about these things. Now this place is still a peaceful and prosperous era. It has not been many years since Li Longji ascended the throne. At least he still has a peaceful life. If Li Longji starts to use Li Linfu, Yang Guozhong and others, I am afraid that the world will be in chaos. I don’t know if he can realize his dream at that time.

Yang Yuhuan is by my side, so she won’t summon Yang Guozhong, would she be the same name?

He was stunned when he thought about it. Even Xiaoju called herself not to hear clearly. When Su Zhiyuan came to his senses, there was one more person in front of him. Yes, it was Lu Wushuang.
