Quick Wear: Even big guys have to work hard

"Cough cough!"

Bai Su cleared his throat and began to speak as the head of the family.

"When your mother and I went to the county town, we had a chance and learned some secret techniques. I'm going to teach them to you now. From now on, they will be the family heirlooms of our Bai family!"

Whether their sons believe it or not, the couple has the final say.

The eldest and second sons, as well as their wives, had no objection and just followed their parents' lead. In fact, they just didn't want to think and were too lazy to use their brains.

The third brother's eyes flashed. He was smart, but he was practical and would never jump out to question.

The two children below can almost be ignored, because they are young and have no say.

So, under the strong leadership of the head of the family, the matter was settled.

The next step is to let the sons choose a skill, at least it has to be one that they are interested in. Otherwise, will it just get moldy?

As Rong Yiyi expected, the eldest brother's family chose to plant mulberry trees and raise silkworms. The mulberry seeds and silkworm seeds have been provided to them. They just need to cultivate and feed the silkworms, which is very convenient.

This couple is the most honest and straightforward. They have a lot of strength but are the least willing to use their brains. To put it bluntly, they have a simple mind and strong limbs.

The second son's family chose brocade weaving, which requires a lot of knowledge.

Don’t be fooled by the second son Bai Lin’s silly look. He actually has a lot of thoughts on his mind. He’s just lazy and doesn’t like to think about many things.

But he is very good at doing things.

Bai Su had already thought it through. When he entered officialdom and achieved a higher position, he would donate small official positions to his sons and send Bai Laoer to the Ministry of Works, where he would surely make some achievements.

The third brother, Bai Hai, chose printing and dyeing skills. This skill is also complicated and requires continuous innovation, otherwise, he will definitely not be able to compete with others. Bai Hai has an active mind and is very suitable for this area.

Then there is the fourth one, Bai Yan.

Although he has to take the imperial examination, having one more skill can also improve his living standards, right?

Once your life becomes affluent, you will not be greedy for small gains, will not engage in corruption or bribery, and you will go further in your career.

and so.

Rong Yiyi taught the fourth child pattern design. Even though he couldn't design by himself at the moment, he had enough design drawings, and selling one a month would be enough to support him for a lifetime.

The last step was to make clothes, which was taught to Bai Tu.

As for embroidery, it is a skill that all women must learn, but the techniques have different focuses.

Speaking of which, women in ancient times were indeed in a weaker position, because women had to get married sooner or later, unless they did not have a son to marry into the family.

Otherwise, many family skills would not be taught to her, except, of course, skills that are only passed down to females, such as embroidery.

Although Rong Yiyi does not mean to favor boys over girls, she believes that when in Rome, one should adapt to the local customs. It is better for skills like weaving and dyeing to remain in the Bai family.

but.

If Bai Tu could master the embroidery and clothing making skills, it would be enough for her to gain a foothold in her husband's family.

Of course, if you want to fully master these skills, it will definitely not be achieved in a short period of time. It requires long-term learning and practice.

There is no need to rush, take it step by step.

During the Qin Dynasty, officials were not allowed to engage in business, and merchants were not allowed to take the imperial examinations. However, if a business property was registered under the name of his wife's dowry, there was no problem at all.

otherwise.

Those officials who rely solely on salaries and can't even afford gifts or connections are left starving?

Rong Yiyi and Bai Su have already planned that they will buy a mountain specifically for planting mulberry trees.

Build a large farm at the foot of the mountain to raise silkworms. The mountains, forests, fields and farm are real estate and it is okay to register them under the name of an official.

This project of the Bai family is managed by the eldest brother Bai Shi's family. Paddy fields and dry land are used to grow crops. This is a strict rule of the imperial court. No other crops can be used to occupy arable land.

Build a weaving workshop for the second wife and a dyeing workshop for the third wife.

Later, they will be registered under the name of Rong's dowry, and then distributed to each family after the family is divided.

The fourth child should concentrate on his studies first, and then make plans about what kind of business he will start when he gets married.

The older daughter also puts learning first, so she hires a teacher to teach the girls in the family music, chess, calligraphy and painting.

Cooking skills can be taught by Hu, and embroidery skills can be taught by Chen.

Rong Yiyi will first train Chen and teach her embroidery skills, and then she will teach it to the girls of the Bai family.

After arranging all this, the two patriarchs packed up and left.

But the children of the Bai family were all extremely excited and could not calm down for a long time.

At this point, they no longer had time to think about where their parents learned all these secret techniques. They needed to digest them carefully.

The four sons of the Bai family are all literate. Rong Yiyi taught them in two ways. First, she gave them a very simple related book.

What is written in the books is just the general outline. Of course, you cannot learn anything just by reading these books.

The most crucial step is to instill the knowledge directly into their minds in a way that is like a sudden enlightenment.

Rong Yiyi originally wanted to use soul magic, but crossing the void greatly restricted the secret arts of spiritual consciousness and soul magic.

For mortals, the cumulative usage cannot exceed 3 times, and for cultivators, it cannot be used continuously.

Therefore, the five children of the Bai family could not all benefit from the enlightenment.

Fortunately, there is Bai Su, who is a veteran taskmaster. He has cleared countless dungeons in time and space and has accumulated various props.

Although it is a waste to use talismans on mortals, it's Rong Yiyi's fault for wanting to save trouble.

Bai Su believed that his teammate was a senior who had switched to cultivation, and he treated Rong Yiyi as if he were accompanying the prince to study.

If she said go east, he would never go west.

In short, make sure your teammates can complete the novice tasks comfortably.

Even if the teammate is not the reincarnation of the big boss, he should repay her by allowing him to open the merit system in advance.

So, Bai Su used 5 enlightenment talismans extravagantly.

Therefore, the five children of the Bai family have a lot more knowledge in their minds.

This knowledge can only be understood, not expressed in words, so there's no need to worry about leaking the information while talking in your sleep!

In order to prevent them from thinking too much, Rong Yiyi took action and gave them a group hypnosis with soul magic.

It is not easy to hypnotize thousands of people, but it is very simple to hypnotize a dozen people. Anyway, this skill is basically ineffective for cultivators.

It would be better to use it on mortals.

These two unscrupulous taskmasters, in order to save trouble, actually resorted to secret techniques, which was really disgusting.

Isn’t this a waste of natural resources?

It's wasteful but the effect is great.

Early the next morning.

Rong Yiyi followed Bai Su to the village head's house to buy a mountain and land.

The village head is also a member of the Bai family. His father is the clan leader and an old scholar. The Bai family school was founded by him. He is also a capable person.

"You want to donate five acres of land to the clan school?"

"Okay, okay, Dazhu, I thank you on behalf of all the students in the clan school!"

The village head and the clan leader spoke one after another.

"Uncle, I didn't donate for nothing. I would like to ask you to give me a recommendation. I want to participate in this year's county exam!"

Bai Su looked honest, and the clan leader did not think he was utilitarian, but rather that he was sincere.

Bai Dazhu was a good student, but he had to give up the imperial examination in order to raise his son.

Besides, five acres of land is enough to exchange for a recommendation quota, and the county examination requires a scholar's recommendation quota in order to participate.

Those students usually pay some recommendation fees in exchange for a place, at most one or two taels of silver. No one is as rich as Bai Su who directly donates five acres of land. He must be given the place first.

As for whether you can pass the exam?

If you can pass the exam, everyone will be happy. If you fail, you won’t lose your five acres of land.
