111. Business is on track(1/2)
Jiang Zhen’s subordinates were all full of expectations for the school, but if the school was to be opened, it would take a while before it could be opened.
The first batch of people who used this school were actually the accounts recruited by Jiang Zheng.
The next day, the twenty-two accounts were taken to Hexi Village by Jiang Zhen.
These people were a little uneasy at first, but after seeing the pier in Hexi Village, the uneasy disappeared immediately.
Although this pier looks empty, it is really too grand. It is all paved with blue bricks!
Not only that, the houses near the pier... are all two-story buildings!
Although Zheng Baoning tried to avoid Song Li at the beginning yesterday, he was later "educated" by Song Li, who was found at his home. Although he did not completely believe what Song Li said, and was still a little worried, at this moment, most of his worries immediately disappeared.
As for the leader of the Jin Zhen escort agency, it may be an ungrateful person, and it depends entirely on the wealth of his wife's family to be able to develop...
He felt that things weren't that simple... He heard that the Jin Zhen escort agency was established by Jiang Zhen.
"You will live here in the future, and each person can choose a house to live in." Jiang Ming led the way and brought these accounts to a row of two-story buildings facing north and south.
These houses are not big, they are all connected. There is a staircase on the entrance. There is a room on both sides of the stairs. From the stairs, there is also a room on both sides of the second floor.
In such a house, the sailors lived in four people. Except for a few leaders, they all lived in two people. However, because these people were scholars, each of them could live in a separate room.
Some people see that it is a building and now they want to live in a house on the second floor, but some people think that living upstairs is not stable and prefer the ground floor.
Zheng Baoning chose the ground floor and lived up and down the floor. He felt it was quite troublesome. Moreover, if he chose the second floor behind the ground floor, he would have to go to the ward in the winter evening, which would be too troublesome.
They all brought a lot of things. Jiang Ming first asked them to choose a house and put down things, and then said, "I will come to teach you something tomorrow. You can learn for seven or eight days first, and then you can go home. After that, you will have to go out with the boat."
"We understand!" These people nodded together when they heard this, and then someone asked again: "What should we do when we eat? Where can we eat?"
"You can go there for dinner when it's time to eat, and each person receives one." Jiang Ming said again, then pointed to a big house not far away.
That big house was named the canteen by Jiang Zhen.
Jiang Zhen built a lot of stoves inside and found some Shuang'er women to cook. When it was time, the sailors and his men on the dock could go there to get the meal, and then eat there or take it back to his house to eat.
This... when they didn't get on the boat to work, the owner also provided food and accommodation. When Zheng Baoning heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up, and everyone else was very satisfied.
Two taels of silver a month and also includes food and accommodation. Such a job is really good.
Moreover, it seems that they will calculate their wages for them these days when they are learning to do things...
Zheng Baoning is more satisfied with his job.
Brother Zhao Jin felt that he was not good at this moment: "I can't do it, how can I teach people how to study? I don't even know a few words, I..." Jiang Zhen actually asked him to teach those accounts he found... How can he have that ability?
A year ago, he didn't recognize words, but what about those people? There was even a Tong Sheng in it!
Brother Zhao Jin is now much more confident, but he doesn’t feel that he can still be a gentleman for others.
"Brother Jin, you don't need to teach them how to read. You just need to teach them how to calculate the numbers. And you can teach them the number I taught you, and you can also teach them." Jiang Zhen said, he thought that Arabic numerals are really much more useful than "one, two, three, and four", and they are faster to write. After learning these accounts, if you have 69 items in the future, you don't have to write "69" specifically. Just draw "69", which is more convenient?
This can also be regarded as the characteristics of their escort agency... Ahem, at this time, some large commercial banks just had some special secret codes to keep accounts?
"I'm a Shuang'er..." Brother Zhao Jin was still very uneasy.
"Apart from you, I only know this... Let's do this. I'll finish my work during the day and teach them at night." Jiang Zhen said.
"How can this work? Then you are too tired!" Brother Zhao Jin said, and then gritted his teeth: "I'll teach you!" Jiang Zhen was already very hard, and he always had to help Jiang Zhen share some of the burden.
Jiang Zhen looked at Brother Zhao Jin and chuckled.
Although Brother Zhao Jin was very uneasy, the next day, he went to the place where Jiang Zhen called the classroom.
The accounts were still waiting for Jin Zhen’s escort agency to pay wages, but they didn’t dare to disobey. They all waited in the classroom early. When they saw Brother Zhao Jin coming in, they looked over together.
Brother Zhao Jin, who was already very nervous, became even more nervous now. When he was nervous, he subconsciously stood up straight, his brows slightly frowned, and his whole body looked cold and serious.
Zheng Baoning and others did not know Brother Zhao Jin, but they had seen Brother Zhao Jin and Jiang Zhen standing together, and they all respected him very much. Seeing this, Brother Zhao Jin finally relaxed a little: "My name is Brother Zhao Jin. Next, I will teach you some secret codes of our Jin Zhen escort agency. You can only work better in the future if you learn it well." Jiang Zhen taught him the numbers, and now he directly called it a secret code.
Code? Zheng Baoning and others were surprised and happy. They had just arrived, but they didn't expect that they would teach them the code...
The students sitting below were very happy. Brother Zhao was relieved again, then took out a brush and started writing on the wall.
At this time, there was no blackboard chalk and it couldn't be done for a while. Jiang Zhen simply helped Brother Zhao to paste paper on one of the walls. At this moment, Brother Zhao was writing on these papers.
He wrote the numbers of "one, two, three" and "123" to twenty on the wall. After writing, he began to teach these people to identify and copy.
These people have some basic foundations, and it is not difficult to learn this. When they wrote down everything they wrote on the wall, Zhao Jinge wrote down the multiplication formula table and memorized it again: "One one gets one, one gets two... Ninety-nine eighty-one. You should also record this. After you write it down, you will calculate the things quickly. For example, in the previous question, nine people each cost eight taels of silver, **72, and you can quickly calculate the result."
In Daqi, there has been a multiplication formula table for a long time, and the order of memorization is different from that of Zhao Jinge. There are even many calculation methods, but many people don’t know about these things.
These days, the school basically only teaches to recognize words, but it doesn’t teach you how to calculate things. Those accounts know this, but they won’t teach others for no reason.
Some of the people Jiang Zhen recruited had learned, but some had not learned. Zheng Baoning only heard his father say something like that, but never studied it carefully.
Because of this, everyone has learned very seriously now, especially the "code" written by Brother Zhao Jin.
When Jiang Zhen came over to take a look, he found that Brother Zhao Jin was doing well. He glanced at Brother Zhao Jin quietly, and then took his daughter to see the big ship.
In a few days, he will have to go out again. He will take advantage of these days to accompany his daughter.
Zheng Baoning and others went to the cafeteria to have porridge in the morning before coming to class. After two hours of study, it was time for dinner, and Brother Zhao Jin asked them to have dinner.
"I don't know what to eat at noon... the porridge was so thick in the morning, it was so fragrant!" A man from the same family background as Zheng Baoning said to Zheng Baoning. This man had never had money in his family. He could recognize words because his grandfather recognized words and learned from his grandfather.
Zheng Baoning had been hungry for a long time and couldn't help but think about his lunch. After smelling the fragrance, he subconsciously swallowed his saliva.
In modern times, even when eating in the cafeteria, you can still eat all kinds of meat. However, these days, productivity is low, and meat is not that easy to make.
At that time, Jiang Zhen had few people under his command, so he would make meat for them every day, but now he doesn't... It's not that he can't bear to leave money, but if they eat meat every day, they might be buying all the pigs nearby, and the price of pork surges.
Therefore, on one and five days every month, he would eat meat dishes for his subordinates, and the number was not large.
It was also a coincidence that they were five today.
Jiang Zhen bought a pig, cut off the bones and cut them into small pieces and braised them. Everyone who went to eat would give him a spoon.
After Zheng Baoning served the rice, the people poured a spoonful of pork into his rice bowl. In addition, another dish was boiling lettuce.
Not to mention this package of food and accommodation, it can still be so good at eating... Zheng Baoning couldn't help but be excited.
It happened to happen that Jiang Ming was coming to have a meal too, so Zheng Baoning went up to talk to him: "Maintain Jiang, Manager Jiang, will you eat so well every day from now on?"
"No, only one or five can you eat meat. But if you are willing to give money, the kitchen is willing to make delicious food for you." Jiang Ming said.
Although you can't eat it every day, you can eat meat every day and every five, which also makes Zheng Baoning very happy.
When he continued to study in the afternoon, he became more motivated.
A few days later, the twenty-two accounts learned all the numbers taught by Brother Zhao Jin. Jiang Zhen specially gave them some simple arithmetic problems. Although they spent a lot of time, they learned them all.
Jiang Zhen felt relieved and gave him a day off these days: "Tomorrow morning, I will send you to the county town, and then go to the dock to meet the next morning, and then you will follow me out for a walk."
"Yes, boss!" The accountants responded, and like the people under Jiang Zhen, they called him the boss.
After living on the dock for seven or eight days, they had already learned about Jin Zhen's escort agency. For example, Jiang Zhen is very capable, and everyone is convinced of him. For example, Zhao Jin, who taught them to study, was not only Shuang'er, but also Jiang Zhen's wife.
When he first learned about this, Zheng Baoning was thinking about Jiang Zhen joining a wealthy family. Maybe it was true. After all, Brother Zhao Jin was really not very good, but soon he knew that this was not the case.
There are many people from Hexi Village on the dock. According to what they said, the Zhao family was simply penniless in the past, and even asked Brother Zhao Jin'er, Shuang'er, to go out to work as a long-term worker to earn food. If it weren't for Jiang Zhen, their family would not have lived a good life now.
"This is really good Boss Jiang."
"He said that we can add money if we do it in the future, which should be true."
"Maybe I can still do some business under his command in the future!"
...
When Zheng Baoning and others returned to Hecheng County the next day, they all talked about it and were full of hope for their future.
The same is true for Zheng Baoning.
Jiang Zhen advances one tael of silver for each of them, and his family doesn't have to go hungry... Zheng Baoning is just happy, but Song Li stops him.
"Zheng Baoning, do you really want your life for money? You'd better work for such an ungrateful person!" Song Li accused.
"Song Li, don't talk nonsense. Boss Jiang was not ungrateful at all. It was clearly Jiang Chengxiang who framed him." Zheng Baoning frowned and defended Jiang Zhen: "If the Jiang family had not done too much..."
"Zheng Baoning, I didn't expect you to be such a person. For a few dollars, I will be indiscriminate!" Song Li looked at Zheng Baoning in disappointment: "You actually talk to such a person... Do you think that kind of person will be good to your subordinates? If you help him do things, you may have to lose your life!"
"Song Li, don't talk nonsense." Zheng Baoning was annoyed.
The two quarreled and finally parted in an unhappy way.
Of course, Zheng Baoning didn't go to listen to Song Li. The next day, he returned to Hexi Village. After another day, he followed the fleet and left Hecheng County.
Hecheng County is located in Tai'an Prefecture, and Jiang Zhen’s current business is basically within the scope of Tai'an Prefecture.
There are also water bandits in Tai'an Mansion, but they are all small groups and they dare not attack Jiang Zhen's fleet at all. Therefore, Jiang Zhen's fleet can be called very safe.
Of course, in Tai'an Mansion, there are also some places where Jiang Zhen's fleet will encounter dangers, such as the Hongjiang Salt Field... However, no one will go there to do business, and Jiang Zhen will not take over the business there, so there is no need to worry at all.
This time, they only stayed outside for more than ten days.
Life on the boat was somewhat uncomfortable for Zheng Baoning and others, but it was much easier than they thought at the beginning and was very safe... These people finally settled down completely.
Jiang Zhen’s Jin Zhen’s escort agency has also been known by more and more people.
In a blink of an eye, it has been more than two months since the Zhao family moved to their new home, and Zhao Mingzhu has been six months old and can sit up.
Many children like to ask for someone to hug them, but Zhao Mingzhu likes to play alone. At this moment, she sits in a large wooden basin and then grabs a rattle and shakes it.
