Chapter 153: Ten years of trees and a hundred years of people
As a result, there were many shops in Mengxi, and many vendors flocked to it, but Qin Shaoyou's land was made by Qin Shaoyou. In this way, relying on the rent here in Qin's village, Qin Shaoyou made a lot of money.∽↗,
Nothing in the world is more enjoyable than collecting money while sitting on the ground. Unfortunately, the landlord has a landlord, but the landlord has no.
However, there are countless people in the world who want to be landlords, just like Princess Taiping, who are already salivating.
She rushed over almost angrily, looking extremely dissatisfied with Qin Shaoyou.
"Your Highness, but I don't know what's wrong?" Qin Shaoyou was really helpless about this perverse Princess Taiping.
Li Lingyue looked at him coldly and said, "I only ask you, you want to build a road, who helped you build this road?"
Qin Shaoyou hurriedly said, "Of course it is Secretary Wu?"
Li Lingyue had long expected that Qin Shaoyou was so heartless, so she narrowed her eyes: "Is that so? Are you very familiar with Shangshu Wu?"
"fine!"
Li Lingyue couldn't help but say, "What does it mean? Without the strategist of this palace, who has built the way for you? You really broke the bridge and put the blame on the wrong side. The road has been repaired now, and it's still lively here. You have made a lot of money."
Qin Shaoyou sighed and said, "Actually, Your Highness has made a lot of money."
Li Lingyue shouted: "This is not what I am talking about now. There are so many vendors coming here. You are on the ground to collect rent, but why do you place your fiefdom into a market? The land of this palace is clearly close to you. Why don't you allow merchants to go? Qin Shaoyou, you are so kind to one and the other, which really blinds me."
It turned out...it was for the sake of the land, and Qin Shaoyou was ashamed. No wonder he had taken such a big turn.
Qin Shaoyou said: "Now our land is full of money and every inch of land is worth every inch of money. What does it mean to be more generous than one and less the other? Your Highness is so serious."
"Also say no?"
Qin Shaoyou shook his head and sighed, "In fact, it is better to leave your highness's land."
Li Lingyue turned her face aside and said, "I can't make money!"
Qin Shaoyou was speechless. Since he brought Li Lingyue into the business circle, His Royal Highness the princess has become more and more philanthropic, and people are jealous of money.
Qin Shaoyou said: "I have a great event to accumulate merits."
When Li Lingyue heard the word "merit" and immediately said furiously: "Merit... This palace is merit. I used to pray for my grandmother and became a monk and became a Taoist priest. Isn't this merit? Now my merit has been cultivated for a long time. Now I have to save money and save a lot of money. I have bought a lot of things. When I heard the word "merit", my heart was cold. I was allowed to make money. I even encouraged me to do my merit. Qin Shaoyou, what's your intention!"
Qin Shaoyou smiled and said, "Your Highness, please calm down. Who said that you can't make money by doing good deeds?"
Li Lingyue finally sighed and said with resentment: "No matter how you look at me, it seems like you are fooling me. Okay, tell me. What kind of merits do?"
Qin Shaoyou said firmly: "Owning a school."
Li Lingyue suddenly said, "School runs? What are you doing? Didn't the court have six studies? Qin Shaoyou, you are really confused. Could it be that you can't be a school official now? So you want to start a school and live your school official again?"
Faced with Li Lingyue's "misunderstanding", Qin Shaoyou felt a little sad, and he smiled bitterly: "Have you angry. The school I want to run is different from other schools. Your Highness, do you think Mengjin is good?"
"good."
"That's it. Mengjin is now the treasure pot for His Highness and I. Your Highness think about it. With so many industries here, they will only get better and better in the future. At that time, the carriages and horses are like dragons. Our tea, silk, and oil will all be sent from here to Henan, Hebei and Luoyang through Mengjin Port. But... the official asked, what are we most looking for now?"
"money!"
"Ha..." Qin Shaoyou sneered and said, "Your Highness is a noble man. Can you always mention that kind of amulet? Let's talk about some noble things."
Seeing Qin Shaoyou's depressed look, Li Lingyue couldn't help but burst into laughter and said, "Okay, you said."
Qin Shaoyou raised his face and said seriously: "What we lack the most is... people."
"People..." Li Lingyue couldn't help but say: "There are 15,000 households in Tuanjieying, and the population is as large as 40,000 to 50,000, nearly 20,000 men and women and children. In addition, you have more than 1,000 households in this palace, and there are some people in this palace, why is there a shortage of people?"
Qin Shaoyou shook his head and said, "Xiaguan is talking about talented people. In the future, we will make this place bigger. Do we still rely on a group of people who can't read big words to maintain our workshops and fields? Today we can spin and draw silk, and tomorrow others can do it. Today we can press oil. Sooner or later, others will also press oil. We can make ice, but who can guarantee this technology? How long can we hide it? Now we can make such huge profits because we have the lead and are faster than others. But today's faster does not mean that we will always be faster than others. Therefore, what we have to do is to maintain our own advantages and how to maintain our advantages? The same is spinning and drawing silk, making ice, making tea, the only thing we do is to be better than others."
Li Lingyue frowned and said, "What does this have to do with running a school?"
Li Lingyue was finally moved. She was actually a very smart person. She could understand Qin Shaoyou's meaning after many things were explained.
Qin Shaoyou said: "Because the school we run is to make our skills more exquisite. We are not an official school, but we have the final say on what we want to teach. I have already thought about it. How is this school called Taiping Xue?"
Taipingxue...
Li Lingyue's face calmed down a little, and she said, "What else?"
Qin Shaoyou held his chin and said, "There is definitely a primary school for those younger children to study. The older ones can learn mathematics, medicine, calligraphy and painting, iron making, spinning...cooking..."
"Let's go!" Li Lingyue's beautiful eyes widened: "This... what the hell is this? Except for mathematics, calligraphy, painting, medicine, and everything else, they are all inferior... "
Qin Shaoyou said seriously: "But this thing is money. Your Highness, those who study in this school cannot be the official position for them. Can you let them learn the classics and history? The basic classics and history are just for them to teach some in elementary schools. The most important thing is to let them learn the arts. In the future, they can directly become blacksmiths, accountants, and cooks..."
Li Lingyue couldn't help but smile bitterly and said, "Qin Shaoyou, you are so crazy, cough cough... I come to ask you, serious people will not come to such knowledge, who would like their children to do these inferior things?"
Qin Shaoyou said: "Your Highness is wrong again. The officials do not expect any high school. The children of wealthy families come to study, which is originally prepared for ordinary people."
Li Lingyue gritted her teeth and said, "What kind of books do they study? Even if they study, are they rich? If they don't have money, do they still ask this palace to supplement them? Qin Shaoyou...you have a question for me again."
Qin Shaoyou's body was shocked and said to himself, Your Highness, I dare not make any decisions about you. Even if you want to fight, Shangguan Wan'er is not bad, she is more quiet, and... she wants money if she doesn't die.
Qin Shaoyou patiently explained: "The food households are rich. Didn't they just get their wages? Anyway, they are usually frugal. In addition to food, clothing, housing and transportation, they have to save up the remaining money. But what we have to do is take out all their last copper coins. For this matter, I haven't had a good sleep for several nights, and finally came up with a solution."
"you say."
Qin Shaoyou said: "This is called cutting off the firewood from the cauldron. First of all, we have to set rules. All the children of food households are under 18 years old and are not allowed to work. They no longer grow grain anymore. Their children are young and they are idle at home. They are annoying and can't make any money. Even if they are helping with farm work at home, they are afraid they will not be able to do it, and instead they will have a burden."
"Secondly, set another rule: Anyone who drops out of Taiping Academy and has experienced three years of primary school education can increase their salary by 10% when working in Mengjin. If they have experienced two years of vocational studies, their salary can be increased by 10%."
"Your Highness think about it, these people can't help at home, and they can't make money, and they are idle. On the other hand, if you study in school for five years, as long as you drop out in the past five years, the salary will be 20% higher than that of others. Ordinary people only have two or three jin a year, but they have three or four or even four or five jin a year. When the business becomes bigger in the future, these people can still be given priority. This year, two or two, but ten or two.
What about ten years? Reading is not a bad thing for them. Reading can make their lives better. How can they not be moved? In history, whether it is kings, princes, generals, or peddlers, they all know one truth, that is, it is better to teach people how to fish than to teach people. Even if they have left a wealth of wealth for their children, if they fail, they will sooner or later fail, so that they can learn a skill. Think about it, will it be easier for them to get married than others when they reach age."
"Of course, the tuition fee for admission is not small. It costs at least 500 yuan a year. This price is actually affordable for ordinary people. Once you save it, you will come. Our studies will not only not pay for money, but will make money. When they learn the skills well, they can still use it for us in the future. Wouldn't it be the best of both worlds?"
Li Lingyue calculated quickly, and then suddenly lit up: "There is a little reason."
Qin Shaoyou said with a smile: "Actually, if you make such a thing elsewhere, no one will care about it. But this is Mengjin, which is different from other places. Your Highness, let's do it together, add five more money, and pay for the capital together. As for the teaching, I'm afraid your Highness will have to come forward."
