On the return carriage, Gu Yin and Shi Yuheng sat opposite each other, while their servants sat near the door.

The road from Mengxiangzhuangzi to the official road was still a primitive dirt road, full of potholes. Gu Yin once again experienced the feeling of his buttocks being numbed by the vibration.

In order to reduce the bumps and vibrations, Gu Yin could only quietly support the seat with both hands to lift his body slightly.

"Miss Gu asked Uncle Meng to make paper in order to provide free teaching?" Shi Yuheng seemed oblivious to the fact that Gu Yin was struggling with the car and was the first to break the silence.

"How do you know?" After all, there is only a temporary church now, and it has not officially started recruiting students.

Shi Yuheng narrowed his bright eyes: "You have done such a big thing, it's not surprising that I know this information, right?"

"That's true, but most people who come to Ning County don't care about this kind of information."

"So I am an exception. I am particularly interested in this aspect, so I would like to ask Miss Gu for advice."

"Hahaha, Mr. Shi is indeed unique! Are you interested in free education or papermaking?"

"Everyone is interested! It's not easy for Ning County to offer free teaching on its own. First of all, funding is the biggest problem. I'm curious how Ning County will maintain it? But I think the reason you went to Uncle Meng to make paper today should be for the free teaching?" Shi Yuheng expressed his thoughts slowly.

"You guessed it right! Paper is one of the essential stationery in school. If we can solve this problem, we can save a lot of money!"

There is no need to hide things when talking to smart people. They can figure out the key points with just a little thought, so Gu Yin looked frank when talking about this.

"Looking at Uncle Meng's reaction just now, the papermaking technique provided by Miss Gu seems to be quite unique. I wonder to what extent it can be improved?" Shi Yuheng tilted his head slightly and asked tentatively.

He seemed to have no idea how seductive his action was, and Gu Yin was a little dazed by it.

After realizing what he asked, Gu Yin grinned: "Well...please forgive me for not being able to tell you!"

joke!

This is a trade secret!

Maybe she will make a fortune from this in the future, so how can she be easily misled by beauty!

Shi Yuheng chuckled and apologized with a fist: "I am sorry for being rude, Miss Gu, please forgive me."

"fine."

"What about free teaching? Miss Gu, are you sure you can get this done?"

"Well... Actually, this matter is under the jurisdiction of the county government." Gu Yin played dumb.

Just now he said that improving papermaking technology was for the sake of free teaching of Zero Line, but now he is directly pushing the matter onto the county government.

Shi Yuheng did not expose this obvious lie, but sighed and said: "If this is the case...it's a pity."

"What do you mean?" Gu Yin was puzzled.

"I originally thought that if this matter was handled by Miss Gu, I would take out 100,000 taels to support free teaching in Ning County! Since it's not the case, then forget it..." As he spoke, Shi Yuheng shook his head as if with regret.

Duo Shao???

One hundred thousand taels???!!!!!!

"Take care! Take care! Take care! Actually, this matter was caused by me, so I must be responsible to the end!" Gu Yin immediately changed his mind.

That’s one hundred thousand taels!

It’s neither ten taels nor one hundred taels.

However, although……

Ning County is now in a stage of crazy construction, and what it lacks most is money!

Now suddenly someone said they wanted to give her money. How could she let go of such a good opportunity?

If she didn't hug her thighs quickly, she would be afraid of being struck by lightning!

"Just...why are you doing this?"

Is it popular for people in this dynasty to do charity?

"Then why do you make such a suggestion?" Shi Yuheng asked instead of answering.

Free teaching, to be honest, is outrageous. Even the current emperor would find it difficult to come up with such an idea.

Of course, even if we have this idea, it is impossible to realize it.

Gu Yin touched his nose and said calmly, "I just want all the children to learn to read. In short, it's literacy."

Literacy?!

Shi Yuheng's usually calm eyes suddenly lit up, and the fog that had been blocking his vision suddenly dissipated.

He followed his grandfather into the palace to study since he was a child. Although he was not a genius, he had read a lot of books and thought he was well-educated. His family had a lot of money, so he didn't have to worry about these things. But he didn't know when he started to feel that life had no meaning.

He disliked the intrigues in officialdom, so he never served as an official in the court.

Now, he seems to have found the direction of his life.

He wanted to be an educator, but didn't want to be just a teacher, so he decided to start by building an academy full of vitality and academic atmosphere!

Now that you have a goal, all that remains is to move towards it.

Shi Yuheng was never a person who was indecisive, so he asked Gu Yin directly: "Do I have the honor to join the literacy team?"

"Does the 100,000 taels Mr. Shi mentioned just now still count?"

It's not just to trick her, but what's the point?

"Naturally it counts!"

"In this case, Master Shi is already making a contribution to the cause of literacy!"

And if he doesn’t make a move, it’s fine, but once he does, it’ll be one hundred thousand taels!

Shi Yuheng pursed his lips and smiled, shook his head, and said: "I mean doing things."

Contribute both money and effort?

"As far as I know, given Mr. Shi's status, it should be easy for him to find a job. Why did he choose Ning County?"

"I don't have much choice. I just suddenly wanted to do something in this area, and Ning County just happened to have such an opportunity." Shi Yuheng replied indifferently, looking as if he was not interested in competing with the world.

Gu Yin silently shed two tears of envy in her heart. Is this the world of the rich?

They do things according to their own preferences, just like those second generation people who go to work in the company just to experience life!

"It is a blessing for the people of Ning County to have the help of Master Shi!"

"Each other..."

Therefore, Gu Yin handed over the preparatory work after the completion of the college construction to Shi Yuheng, which was the management work after the college was officially put into use.

In addition, Gu Yin also persuaded Shi Yuheng to join his papermaking business!

Shi Yuheng's father is the Minister of Works. With his joining, it is equivalent to having half of the imperial court behind him!

Gu Yin silently praised herself for her cleverness and wit.

As they were talking, the carriage arrived at Ning County Inn, where Shi Yuheng was currently staying.

As soon as Gu Yin stepped into the lobby of the inn, she suddenly heard a sharp question from the side: "You vixen! Why are you flirting with men everywhere!"

"Thank you for the compliment!" Gu Yin appeared calm on the surface, but was actually complaining madly in her heart.

Who did she offend? She even encountered a mad dog in an inn!!!

The visitor didn't expect Gu Yin to be so nonchalant, and immediately became furious: "You, you have no shame!"
