Crossing the famine, I am a poor fish, and my descendants have to work hard

The next morning, the property management came to report what happened last night.

"Madam, that man's name is Zhang San. He was absent from work yesterday and we terminated his contract. We are sending him back because he wanted to return his monthly salary and he holds a grudge.

He had the wrong idea and wanted to attack you. After the meeting yesterday, he followed you secretly, and when he saw you enter the county government office, he ambushed you here and waited for you to come back."

Sure enough it is.

Although I paid him such a high salary and provided him with food and accommodation, he didn't remember any of these benefits. Instead, he was resentful about being fired for absenteeism.

Isn't this a typical ungrateful person?

"Send him to the government. Tell the county magistrate everything he did. As for how to judge him, it's up to the county magistrate."

"Yes, ma'am."

Zhuangzi still needs to continue the reorganization and those with evil intentions must not be allowed to stay.

She went to the service hall first. The managers there were basically all her own people.

But Zhao Yuanzhen still wanted to check it again.

I went to each department and checked it. I asked the system to scan it and kicked out those with too high a malicious value.

Fortunately, my ability to judge people is not too bad. I selected these servants by myself at the pawnbroker based on their faces, and there are no bad people with strong malicious intent among them.

Then she went to the property management, where there were only a few of her people in the management. Zhao Yuanzhen scanned them and found two who were not in good condition.

Zhao Yuanzhen found an excuse to transfer them from the property and arranged them to the farmers, asking the team leader to pay special attention to them. They could not be fired directly, and there had to be a specific case.

After the review, she was looking at the account book in the office when someone from the admissions office came over.

"Madam, you said before that after the children have finished their enlightenment, we will divide them into the craft and science exam. I think the enlightenment is almost done. When will we divide them?"

Oops, she had forgotten all about this.

"Okay, I understand. Tell the teacher to conduct a test first to test the students' enlightenment. Only those who pass the enlightenment test can choose their major."

"Yes, ma'am, I'll go right away."

Zhao Yuanzhen began to think about her major.

Papermaking, movable type printing, ceramic firing, brick and tile firing, machinery, wine making, carpentry, medicine, swordsmanship, bows and arrows, shopkeepers, cooks, needlework, etc.

There are currently no teachers for carpentry and mechanics, so we have to look for one.

She, who is good at mechanics, wrote a letter to Zhuangzi in the capital, asking them to transfer three members of the mechanic team to facilitate teaching and daily work, and also asked them to go to the dental shop to buy a carpenter.

I’m afraid I can’t hire one, so I’ll see if I can buy one.

For the remaining professions, Zhao Yuanzhen selected one from each workshop to be the teacher.

The enlightenment test lasted for one day.

Most of the children passed the test, but there were a few who failed. Zhao Yuanzhen asked them to continue studying and continue their major studies in the next quarter.

There are now 156 children in the academy, including 21 girls.

Of the remaining 135 boys, 28 chose to take the imperial examination, and the rest all wanted to learn a craft.

Zhao Yuanzhen listed the academy's majors, the skills introduction of each major, and career directions, and distributed them to each student.

Let them take it back and show it to their parents. If their parents are illiterate, they can help read it and see what major the applicant will eventually choose.

The registration selection period is 3 days and once confirmed it cannot be changed.

At the same time, the college’s tuition fees will also increase.

It was 100 wen per month before, but now there are more teachers, and professional courses require more supplies, so the monthly tuition has increased to 200 wen.

The same goes for the imperial examination, 200 wen per month.

After three days of consideration, everyone had chosen their majors, and Zhao Yuanzhen gave everyone a major application form.

You need to fill in your major yourself, which can also serve as a certificate.

According to everyone's table, it was divided.

Girls basically chose to be cooks, needlework, or doctors.

The remaining boys had all sorts of choices to make, and the shopkeeper had the most.

Compared with other majors, the job of a shopkeeper is indeed easier and more respectable, and Zhao Yuanzhen does not interfere. He can learn whatever he likes.

Classes and classrooms were divided for each major.

Less noisy majors, such as those for girls, were also placed in the backyard and taught together with the imperial examination majors.

Different majors have different completion times depending on the difficulty.

The fastest is one semester.

There will be a test before graduation, and only by passing the test can you successfully graduate.

The teachers of each class were allocated various items, raw materials, and venues required for their profession.

The Zhangjiazhuang professional class has started in full swing.

Because the teachers for carpentry and mechanics have not arrived yet, those who have chosen these two majors should temporarily follow the introductory courses. In about a month, the teachers will arrive.

After finishing the work at the academy, she took Lan Ying to the trade market to take a look.

The trade market was expanded again and many more shops were built. The original 50 shops were indeed not enough.

There are still many businessmen between the two countries.

Zhao Yuanzhen went to the restaurant first. When she looked at the account book before, she found that the restaurant's turnover was more than 1 taels a month, which is equivalent to a daily turnover of more than 400. This is not low for a restaurant, especially since the population here is not large.

It's not dinner time, but there are still two sparsely occupied tables.

She took Lan Ying to inspect the lobby, private rooms, and kitchen, mainly focusing on hygiene and food issues.

I didn't find any problems and the room was cleaned very well.

Probably because these are our own people.

After visiting the restaurant, I went to other shops to check the hygiene and the account books.

It is indeed reassuring to have our own people around. All the shops are in good condition and there are no mistakes.

After replenishing some goods to each warehouse, they went back.

Now that the farm and the shop are arranged, she is ready to go and get some points.

However, before she could accumulate points, she still had to make some preparations.

The first is the means of transportation.

I can’t ride a horse every day, it’s too tiring.

She wants to get a horse-drawn version of the RV.

She started to work right away, taking out paper and pen to draw the design.

A motorhome is much larger than an ordinary carriage, it needs to be pulled by four horses, and the carriage is wider.

At least there should be room for two beds, a workbench, a wardrobe, a small desk, and some convenient items to facilitate daily life.

The car must also be well insulated and rainproof, and a circle of fire dragon must be made to keep it warm in winter.

Of course, you also need a fan.

It can be made into a wind-powered one, and the wind from the moving carriage can drive the fan, thereby making the interior of the carriage cooler.

She thought of every little detail she could think of and drew several design drawings, including the internal structure, external structure, specific dimensions, as well as the installation, location, and size of various small objects to be added.

After finishing the drawing, she checked it again carefully and found no problems, then handed it over to the system.

"System, I want to order a carriage like this. All the materials must be the best in the world and must be strong. How many days will it take?"

"It will take 5 days to get back to the host."

"Okay, then we'll order one first. If the finished product is good, we'll order a few more."

"Yes, host."

Zhao Yuanzhen thought about it again in her mind to see if there was anything to add.

As I thought about it, it really is true.

"System, are there rubber trees in this world?"

"Return to the host, yes, but the distance is too far, not on this continent."

Could it be that, like her world, it was in the faraway America?

“Are there any other rubber-producing plants that can be grown in Xiaoshan County?”

Even if rubber trees can be planted, they are not suitable in the north and have to be grown in the warm south.

"Replying to the host, there is a plant called rubber grass, whose roots produce rubber juice and can be planted in Xiaoshan County."

"Give me a rubber grass so I can look at it."

"Yes, host."

The system gave a rubber grass and placed it in the space.

Zhao Yuanzhen took out the rubber grass and observed it. This thing looks a bit like a dandelion.

The leaves are wider than dandelions, and if you cut them, rubbery juice will ooze out.

It's a nice plant.

"Does this plant exist in this world?"

"Yes, I have a host."

"Okay, give me some specific information about this plant."

The system provides specific information about the plant, including plant operation, performance, growth environment, planting methods, harvesting methods, etc.

Zhao Yuanzhen read it carefully.

"Give me 500 kilograms of rubber grass seeds."

"Yes, host. A total of 5 points."

The price is OK, not too expensive.

When she saw the growth environment of rubber grass just now, she decided to plant rubber grass on the mountain.

The growing environment of rubber grass needs to be a place that is sheltered from the wind, facing the sun, with higher terrain and good water sources.

A place like this is the big mountain above the orchard.

Moreover, the mountain is large enough and sparsely populated, which protects the growth of rubber grass very well.

Put the seeds in the warehouse and ask Lan Ying to talk to the farming team to dispatch 500 people tomorrow to plant rubber grass.

The next day, when planting rubber grass, Zhao Yuanzhen went along.

We chose several hills that were surrounded by springs, had abundant water sources, and were sunny and sheltered from the wind.

There is no need to dig the ground, just spread the rubber grass seeds carefully and then cover them with a layer of soil.

The distance between plants should not be too far or too close.

It took her and her team a day and a half to plant the 500 kilograms of rubber grass seeds.

Although there is a spring near the rubber grass, Zhao Yuanzhen is afraid that the spring will not water the grass evenly after it is planted.

It just so happens that the fields have been short of water recently and it hasn’t rained for half a month.

Put up a rain charm.

There was a rain charm for moderate rain, which lasted for three hours.

This amount of rainfall is enough to irrigate the soil thoroughly.

Thinking that he was going to travel, he simply bought a lot of rain-praying talismans and gave them to Zhang Yu.

"This is a rain-praying charm that a Taoist priest I met once drew for me. If the fields are dry, tear it up somewhere deserted, and it will rain soon. Remember to keep it secret, and don't let anyone else know."

"Yes, ma'am, don't worry, I understand."

Zhang Yu carefully put away the rain-praying talisman and locked it in the safe given by his wife after a while.
