I can sign in in Datang

Chapter 392 Appreciation
"Master Hou, I lost." Li Chunfeng said.

Lin Xuan smiled and said, "Do you need me to tell Mr. Li the answer?"

"No, I will come to Boyuan Academy to teach according to the bet, but my time is limited, and I can only teach here for an hour at most every day." Li Chunfeng doesn't think he can't solve this problem, the charm of mathematics lies in this , if Lin Xuan told him the answer, it would be meaningless.

Lin Xuan said with a smile: "Thank you, Mr. Li, we can discuss the difficult problems in mathematics together in the future."

He didn't think that Li Chunfeng would not be able to solve this problem, which is why he only gave Li Chunfeng an hour.

Once time passes, Li Chunfeng will definitely be able to react.

Lin Xuan continued to tell them mathematics textbooks.

With Lin Xuan's half-baked math level, it's okay to teach those who just learned math, but teaching Xu Geng and others is a complete shame.

Fortunately, he wrote the math textbook, and he only needed to teach them Arabic numerals and the use of some math symbols.

After the explanation some time ago, I have almost covered it, and today I spent half a day to finish the rest.

At noon, Lin Xuan left Li Chunfeng to have lunch in the college cafeteria.

Lin Xuan didn't ask anyone to suggest preparations, and he came completely according to the usual standards of the cafeteria.

The cafeteria of Boyuan Academy is free. There are restrictions on dishes, but unlimited meals. The only requirement is not to waste.

The meals for teachers and students are not the same. The meals for teachers are better, but the meals for students are not bad either.

Li Chunfeng looked at the meals on the students' plates, and asked in disbelief, "Is this really free?"

The dinner plate of the college was made of wood by Lin Xuan according to the plate of later generations.

One larger compartment is for rice, three smaller compartments for vegetables, and one for soup bowls.

The dishes are one meat and two vegetables, and the staple food is steamed buns.

Xu Geng smiled and said, "Of course they don't need money."

"The Guozijian eats nothing more than this, but the Guozijian charges for it." Li Chunfeng sighed.

Although Li Chunfeng came from an aristocratic family, his family is just a small one. Compared with some poor families, it is nothing more than the fact that the books passed down by the family are still there, and there is no shortage of books.

So he can understand the hardships of a poor family's children in studying. He had some complaints about Lin Xuan's betting on letting him teach in Boyuan Academy, but now it has disappeared.

Lin Xuan noticed this change in Li Chunfeng, and a smile appeared on his face.

He knew that Li Chunfeng was a person who kept his promise, but wouldn't it be better to make him willing?
After the meal, Li Chun bid farewell and went back. Lin Xuan wanted to leave, but was stopped by Xu Geng.

"Master Hou, this is last month. The outstanding students and students have been rewarded according to what Master Hou said." Xu Geng took out a piece of paper with names and corresponding rewards written on it.

Lin Xuan finally looked at it and said, "Is it because you don't have enough money?"

Xu Geng nodded and said, "There is not much money in the college's account."

"I see, I'll send someone to send a thousand pens later." Lin Xuan said.

When the college first opened, he put 500 guan in the college account, plus the tuition fee, it was more than [-] guan.

The daily expenses of the college teachers and students, plus rewards, can be used for such a long time, Lin Xuan is already very good.

After listening to Xu Geng's report on the college's chores, Lin Xuan left the college.

Although Lin Xuan likes to be a hands-off shopkeeper, he can't just ignore everything, otherwise problems will inevitably occur after a long time.

After leaving the academy, Lin Xuan went to the vegetable greenhouse again.

"I've seen Lord Hou." The people who were busy in the greenhouse saw Lin Xuan and saluted one after another.

These people are the most difficult people for Lin Xuan to ask Zhou Mancang to choose the family from Zhouzhuang.

At this time, ordinary people have nothing to do, but they help the Lin family grow vegetables and earn a lot of money. How could they not be grateful to Lin Xuan.

Zhou Mancang was patrolling around, when he heard Lin Xuan coming, he hurried out to greet him: "I've seen Lord Hou."

Lin Xuan waved his hand and asked, "Is there any problem?"

Zhou Mancang said: "Don't worry, Lord Hou, everything is normal. There are some dishes that are short-lived, and they can be eaten by the end of this month."

Lin Xuan nodded. Now the weather is getting colder and colder, and it may snow at the end of the month. By then, the vegetables from Lingnan will not be able to be transported, and the vegetables from the greenhouse will be able to be picked up by then.

Lin Xuan pondered for a while, then said: "I need to train some sailors to go to sea with merchant ships. You choose fifty middle-aged men with good water skills in the village. You tell them that they will be paid ten guan a year, and there will be rewards for good performance. .But going to sea is dangerous, and the only child in the family is not allowed, you have to make it clear to them.”

"Master Hou, don't worry, I will definitely follow Master Hou's request." Zhou Mancang said.

Although due to the continuous natural disasters in recent years, Zhouzhuang has also been resettled by the court to some refugees, but most of the people in Zhouzhuang are surnamed Zhou, and their ancestors are all in the same line, so it can be said that they are related.

Ten consecutive years a year is very tempting for ordinary people like them whose annual income is only one or two consecutive years.

Not to mention that there are rewards, Zhou Mancang doesn't care about the only child in the family and the danger.

In this day and age, there are very few only children in the family.

Is it dangerous to go to the battlefield?Not that many people want to join the army.

As long as it can be earned, the danger is nothing.

……

The next day, Lin Xuan lay on the rocking chair with nothing to do, basking in the sun in the yard.

Lin Xuan has no ambitions, this kind of life is what he wants.

"My lord, shopkeeper He is asking to see you." Chunyue came over and said.

"Shopkeeper He? Which shopkeeper He?" Lin Xuan was a little puzzled.

"It's the shopkeeper He of Moxuanzhai." Chunyue said.

Lin Xuan patted his forehead. He was used to being careless during this time, and he forgot all business matters.

"Let him in," Lin Xuan said.

Not long after, Chunyue led He Xinmin in.

"I have seen Lord Hou." He Xinmin saluted.

Lin Xuan didn't intend to get up, he waved his hand and asked, "What's the matter with you?"

"Back to Lord Hou, since the Cui family took 500 million sheets of paper last time, there has been no follow-up. The small messenger went to ask a few times, but the Cui family kept evading, saying that the previous paper had not been sold out, but this It's been almost a month." He Xinmin said.

Lin Xuan's heart skipped a beat. It seemed that the Cui family didn't plan to do paper business anymore.

Otherwise, after such a long time, it is impossible that the 500 million sheets of paper have not been sold out.

"If they don't want it, they don't want it. Anyway, they don't have to worry about selling it." Lin Xuan said lightly.

"But Chang'an can't digest so much paper at all, and now the warehouse can't hold it anymore." He Xinmin said.

"The amount of paper used to print books at Boyuan Academy will gradually increase, so don't worry," Lin Xuan said.

Even though he said this, Lin Xuan knew that he still had to open up sales channels.

It would cost too much to open up a sales channel all over Datang.

Every city needs a store and some people to hire.

Ordinary servants can be hired locally, but the shopkeeper must arrange for someone he can trust.

Even if we only set up sales outlets in some big cities, dozens of shopkeepers are needed, and the store money is added, which is not cost-effective at all.

"You contact some merchants who have traveled far and wide to see if they intend to sell paper. If they are willing to sell paper, the conditions can be relaxed." Lin Xuan said.

"Yes!" He Xinmin replied.

However, Lin Xuan felt that since the Cui family refused, the possibility of other businessmen participating should be unlikely.

Although he frightened the family and made the family dare not do anything to him, it is certain that the family hates him. If they unite against him, how dare those businessmen offend them.
