Li Hui chatted with the caravan manager for a long time and gained an overall understanding of the caravans traveling to the north.
Goods are divided into three, six or nine grades, and so are these caravans.
There are those who specialize in selling woolen materials and resell them in the capital. There are also those who sell beef and mutton. There is also the caravan we just chatted with. They take an economical and down-to-earth route and buy the necessities of the general public - cows and sheepskins.
These things were sent to the shop and made into boots by craftsmen. They are the most warm to wear in winter. Especially in the north, they will not get wet at all when stepping on the snow. The only bad thing is that they have to walk around after changing the leather.
After all, there are too many shops left, and a pair of these leather cotton boots costs one tael of silver, which makes it difficult for ordinary people to breathe.
Cows and sheepskins are very valuable in Liangyan, but not in Beiqi. They are raised by the entire dynasty, so it is not rare to have more. He has already started to think about the leather boots workshop, but he is not in a hurry, so he will start with what he has on hand.
We will discuss this after the fields are distributed.
Pushing open the door of the discussion room, he saw the steward and the accountant each holding a piece of paper in their hands to read, stumbling, which made him frown.
It's just one page, and it's a waste of time to read it for so long.
Originally, I didn't recognize many words, but now the content I wrote was mixed with some convoluted words, which made the two of them confused.
In Liangyan, there are limits on the number of schools in each state capital, and the imperial court will allocate funds. There are also schools in the northern state capitals, but the northern state capitals use the money to build other schools.
There is no other reason. Living is a problem. How can I have time to study?
It seems that we must not only improve the soil quality, but also eliminate illiteracy as soon as possible, and at least let them have a simple understanding of the "Liangyan Laws and Regulations".
Knowing the law and abiding by the law are the fundamentals of being a human being. Furthermore, they must understand that the court will not always distribute relief food. Self-reliance and self-improvement are the fundamentals of being a human being.
When Cheng Xue saw him coming, she knew he was in a hurry to find the children, so she tapped the table twice and asked:
"How do you like it? If you don't understand something, you can ask it and I will explain it to you."
When it comes to money, the road accountant has the most say.
"Master, I understand what you mean by stabilizing your customer base, but this... I've never done this before."
"It's okay. Just keep records one by one as you do now. As for the recharge accounts, I will let Tiandong teach you step by step."
"...Oh, that's okay, that's okay." The road accountant nodded and let out a sigh of relief.
He was originally an accountant who had become a monk on the way. He had studied with Manager Tiandong for a while, and he knew his skills.
His salary was quite good, 500 cash per month, but he also knew that he could not afford the salary, so if he had the opportunity to learn more, he would definitely learn more.
Seeing that the two of them no longer had any objections, Cheng Xue asked Shan Guanshi to copy the three pieces of paper and take them to the craftsman for engraving. The price would not increase in the short term, so he would use wooden boards to engrave them. They would not last long.
They say you don’t have to worry about damage, it’s just a matter of spending some money.
The two of them got in the car directly after coming out of the inn. Although the shop was on the main street, it was on the south side and a bit far away.
Li Hui looked at the little woman who had her eyes closed and was concentrating, then leaned over and said softly:
"Daughter-in-law, what do you lack most when you are recruiting people? What is the most difficult thing to recruit?"
Cheng Xue opened her eyes when she heard this, curled her lips and said:
"Of course it's the accountant and the steward who can write and do calculations. You don't know, the two I'm using now are paid 500 yuan a month, which makes me worried. But I just thought about it, and I'll write a copy when I get back.
Document, sign a contract with them for ten years. Then let Tiandong teach you well at night, otherwise you won’t be able to afford the price.”
If you really have the ability, just give it, it doesn't matter. But if you don't have the ability, you don't deserve such a high salary at all. But you have no choice. After all, the market here is like this. Even if you can understand Braille, even if you have the ability, it's annoying to think about it.
Seeing her like this, Li Hui smiled and nodded.
Every year, the imperial court allocates scholarship funds. If there are no delays on the road this year, the money should arrive. Let's repair it before the year. Go back and check the roster. If there are really no scholars to be promoted, let Fan Tongzhi go there first. The only way is to "kick him out"
"Go", the official salt issue can be investigated.
The carriage went directly into the backyard of the pastry shop, and you could smell the sweet smell before getting off the car. Because it is close to Beiqi, it is not difficult to buy milk, and the price is reasonable. Add some when making pastries for the best taste.
"Uncle Dexi, this is my dad. Is mom here?"
"Back to Miss Second, it's the Master and Madam."
Dexi said as she opened the car door. As soon as Li Hui got out of the car, his little daughter threw him into his arms.
"Be sweet, sweet, wait while daddy is holding you, daddy will help your mother down first."
No matter when and where, my wife is the most important.
Cheng Xue ignored the father and daughter after getting off the car and went to the large kitchen on the west side.
There are a total of three ovens here, and all the snacks in the entire shop are produced from here.
Li Yue, Li Heng and the others were all here, and when they called "Mother, aunt", Pang Meng stood up and saluted.
"I've met Mrs. Li."
"Why are you here? Bai Guo is here to make snacks. Bai Shao will teach you how to cook."
Pang Meng smiled, scratched his head, and replied:
"I came here to learn how to make trough cakes. The barracks will be built in the next spring. The coach said that he would build a very large kitchen for our kitchen camp and buy several ovens to roast some meat, such as chickens. I thought about coming here to learn how to make trough cakes.
Cake, I will bake some for my brothers during the holidays to satisfy their cravings."
When Cheng Xue heard "building barracks", she couldn't help but nodded. This was indeed a serious matter.
The northern defense line was the northern gate of the Liang-Yan Dynasty, but the military camps were all made of tents, so it was really hard to deal with the cold weather.
After building a barracks, the roots are there. Even if there is another conflict between the two dynasties, everyone will not abandon the roots. It would be different if this was replaced by a tent, and the camp would be abandoned in a matter of minutes.
Speaking of which, Su Hou deserves to be scolded. He has been stationed at the border for so many years without building any barracks, asking for money and food, and the capital always provides him with clothes to keep out the cold. Just thinking about it makes me angry.
Li Yue came over and said slightly:
"Mom, Tiedan and Brother Yixin have already taken measurements. Uncle Wang said that the fabrics are more than enough for six garments per season. I told Uncle Wang and let him watch and make the remaining materials."
Cheng Xue said "Hmm" and took her daughter's hand, pointing outside and beckoning her to go out. Li Huai had already run out to find his father. It was obvious that the eldest daughter also missed her father, but she kept holding back and did not go out.
After being prompted by his mother, Li Yue ran out of the house with a smile, while Li Heng held his mother's arm affectionately and acted coquettishly. Although he had grown a lot, he was still a child at heart. He hadn't seen his mother for many days, but he was very close to her when he did.
"How was your trip with your dad? Are you okay?"
"It's a good mother." Li Heng said with good news but not bad news, "I didn't expect that the northern border is not small. My father and I have been everywhere, and several bridges are not good. Brother Yixin said he wanted to talk to uncle
I will fund the construction of a place in my name to accumulate merit for Uncle Yan."
The ancients believed in the power of ghosts and gods, and building bridges and paving roads was all about doing good deeds...
