After the whole sect traveled to ancient times, I led the rebellion

Zhao Qiang paid the money and didn't explain any further.

But Ji Ying was sharp-eyed enough to notice that Zhao Qiang took out a piece of paper and asked the waiter to stamp it.

Ji Ying couldn't see clearly what was on the paper, but he could see clearly what the paper looked like.

Starting from Guangsha, Ji Ying could see the same expensive writing paper as the ones brought by the merchants he had seen in Shengjing.

But when he asked about the price, he found it was much lower than what the merchants in Shengjing were selling it for.

Paper is expensive. The tissues that merchants bring to Shengjing are even more expensive. Why is the paper in Guangsha so cheap?

Ji Ying could guess a thing or two.

Or the merchants may lower the price and sell it at a low price in Guangsha, but this situation is very rare.

Then there is only one other situation left.

Anping has this papermaking technology and can produce paper in large quantities, and the source of Shengjing’s paper towels is also in Anping.

I have to tell the truth about Ji Ying.

When Zhao Qiang traveled from Suo County to Guangsha, he had noticed some people in the team.

He found that Luo Caiyue, Zhang Jinming and Ji Ying always asked the right questions.

Although Luo Caiyue is a mute girl, her knowledge is no less than that of the officials Zhao Qiang had met in Huang County.

More importantly, Zhang Jinming, Luo Caiyue, Ji Ying and even the servants following Ji Ying can recognize and write official characters.

Isn't this the talent that his master has always asked him to find?

Zhao Qiang looked at the few people intentionally or unintentionally.

After the reform of Anping's official system, basically all minor officials came from the provincial and county schools, but Mu Qing still did not abolish the recommendation system.

To put it another way, the recommendation system can be called internal referral within the company shell.

This approach has advantages and disadvantages.

The advantage is that if Mu Qing gets a talented person, and this talented person thinks that she is a good master or can work in Mu Qing's company for a long time, then he will recommend his relatives and friends to her.

That's what Master Xu did at the beginning. He sent out a few letters and brought Mu Qing's whole family and his disciples over.

The agricultural base was then established.

Xu Yu was one of the core labor forces recruited by Master Xu. He had previously worked for the Mohist school, and had lured some Mohist disciples such as Wanqi Zixi and Cheng Yu over from the Mohist school.

The essence of this is almost the same as internal promotion.

After the Mo family arrived, all of Mu Qing's drawings were taken over by the Mo family.

Although they came to Anping with the attitude of learning, Mu Qing did not show any mercy in exploiting them.

It can be said that the cooperation between Mohist disciples and farmers is the group that contributes the most KPIs among the new agricultural tools.

Internal referrals can help you get more talented people by using the connections of talented people you already have.

But there are naturally drawbacks. For example, some officials want to use their status to recommend family members into officialdom. There have been such examples in Anping.

If the person he recommends is capable, then it will work. But if he is incompetent and wants to occupy the position and use his official status to do evil, then that's fine.

What's the difference between this and someone standing in a toilet without taking a shit?

Therefore, in order to prevent this phenomenon from happening, the number of people with the right to recommend is limited in the election system, and there will also be appropriate assessments.

Anping is short of people. In the past, Mu Qing would be eager to keep an eye on anyone who had talent.

Although Mu Qing now values ​​talents to a similar degree, it is better to have nothing than to have something of poor quality.

If he has bad character, no matter how smart or awesome he is, Mu Qing is afraid that he will turn the tables on him.

Although this possibility is relatively low.

Zhao Qiang went to Suo County with a mission this time. He and You Yi both had the qualifications to make recommendations.

Zhao Qiang didn't know how these three people would make a living in Anping, but he still told them after arriving in Anping.

Zhang Jinming and Luo Caiyue are feeding their son.

The two came to Anping and temporarily lived in resettlement housing. They would decide where to go after the procedures were completed and the land was approved.

Luo Caiyue was not in a hurry. After she arrived in Anping, she knew that she had come to the right place.

Anping and Guangsha have similarities as well as differences.

The resettlement house where Luo Caiyue lives is in District 4, which is quite some distance away from the main urban area.

But every time at five o'clock, there are still many people going out to study.

From 5:30 to 6:30, this time after dark is the time for night school and literacy classes.

During the day, everyone has to do farm work or go to work in the factory. In the evening, they usually go to the school cafeteria to eat and then go to class.

They don't want to miss a 60-minute story class.

It was not until Luo Caiyue arrived in Anping that she realized that many of the local people knew arithmetic and some literacy, although the characters they knew were not official texts.

But Luo Caiyue was not surprised.

Luo Caiyue is the daughter of a scholar. She has been smart since childhood, but no one is willing to marry her because she is a mute.

Luo Caiyue married into the Zhang family only after her parents died.

So she also knew that many prominent families had their own writing systems.

I think the Mu family also has it.

Luo Caiyue didn't know the true situation of the Mu family in Shengjing, and naturally didn't know that the Mu family was not a prominent family at all.

So these characters are not the characters of the Mu family.

But Mu Qing never explained.

When Luo Caiyue learned about Anping’s learning resource sharing, she realized the Mu family’s courage.

The monopoly of knowledge has always been a means used by the nobles.

It was rare that Anping was willing to teach the people so much knowledge. Luo Caiyue had always wanted to continue studying, but due to her status as a woman, she was unable to take the imperial examinations.

But in Anping, her silent heart suddenly began to stir again.

Zhao Qiang came with two letters.

Luo Caiyue was a little confused when she suddenly saw Zhao Qiang coming to her house.

After a while, Luo Caiyue took out the simple tea set and poured a few cups of hot water and placed them on the table.

Luo Caiyue: Sir Zhao, please take a seat.

Zhao Qiang couldn't understand the exact meaning of Luo Caiyue's gesture, but he understood the invitation.

After Zhao Qiang sat down, he slowly explained the reason.

"We, as officials?"

Zhao Jinming suspected that he had heard it wrongly, but when he looked at the letter of recommendation and the blank signature space, he felt a little dazed.

"You are considered a village official, but you will have other assessments after submitting the letter."

Village officials are also officials. Zhang Jinming took the letter with some trembling.

Luo Caiyue was not that flustered, but when she saw the letter, joy outweighed everything.

She knew that this was a hard-won opportunity. Lord Zhao was not an ordinary businessman. Perhaps he had already observed their group.

Luo Caiyue calmed down immediately and signed her name without hesitation, just as she had decided to let Zhang Jinming come to Anping when Zhang Jinming also wrote his name.

Zhao Qiang looked at the handwriting of the two people. It was not bold or distinctive, but it was neat and tidy, and it was obvious that they had practiced calligraphy for many years.

"The test is scheduled for tomorrow, don't forget the time."

Zhang Jinming: "Thank you, Mr. Zhao."

Luo Caiyue: Thank you, Mr. Zhao

Zhao Qiang did not let the two of them kowtow. He lifted up Luo Caiyue's arm which was about to be lowered, then let go for a moment and continued to walk towards Ji Ying's resettlement house.
