Take the mall to Datang

Jiang Chengwang thought about it for a while and it was understandable. After all, if he manages a state, if he can't understand these things, he is not worthy of being an official. The resettlement area was set up in Cangzhou, and the imperial court had ordered that the affairs of the Turks would be handled by him, the governor.

So how to arrange and the effect of the placement has become a part of his performance assessment as the governor, so he had to find Yuan Shan to discuss, after all, Yuan Shan was a servant in name.

Even if Yuan Shan has resigned from all his posts now, it is not something he, the governor, can ignore. In addition, Jiang Chengwang was completely surprised by the changes in Cangzhou in the past three months. How could he have thought that a group of businessmen would have such great energy? , the lives of the people in Cangzhou are changing every day, and he sees all of these.

He knew that all of this was because Yuan Shan was here now, so his greatest wish was that Yuan Shan would not leave.

Chapter 457 Cangzhou Student

Thanks to the efforts of the businessmen, Cangzhou's industrial projects have been carried out very smoothly, and the changes have been very large. This has made Cangzhou have a tendency to become a state in the past few months. This makes Cangzhou Governor Jiang Chengwang very happy. He won't agree now, because he knows very well in his heart that the changes in Cangzhou today are all because of Yuan Shan.

In the third courtyard of the Yuan family, Yuan Shan was doing a staff interview. In the past few days, the news that the Yuan family wanted to hire a teacher had spread, so some people came from Chang'an to join Yuan Shan. In the school established by the family.

The treatment is very good. It can be said that the treatment of teachers is the best in the entire Tang Dynasty, but you must know at least two languages, the most basic ones are Turkic and Chinese. Yes, the construction of this school is placed in The resettlement area is dedicated to popularizing Chinese for Turkic people.

The construction of this school was not Yuanshan's whim, but because these Turkic people did not understand Chinese when they were working, which caused some small troubles. Although the troubles are small, if it continues like this, it may cause big troubles. It would be very troublesome if there was a language barrier in the resettlement area. Fortunately, there are many Han Chinese who understand Turkic, especially in the border areas, but it is impossible to carry the news so far.

There are also some Turkic people who understand Chinese, but most of them only understand a few sentences with a half-knowledge. Therefore, Yuan Shancai decided to build this school under such circumstances. It is not only necessary to know these two languages, but also It is necessary to have the ability of some teachers to popularize the Central Plains culture to the Turks.

This is not to erase the Turkic language, but to temporarily implement bilingual education at present, and to vigorously promote Chinese and some ideas while retaining some Turkic culture.

"Master, take a break." During the interview break, Caiyi brought a glass of juice and put it in front of Yuanshan's desk.

"How many applicants are there?" Yuan Shan asked in a bad mood.

"The other two are Turks." Caiyi said.

"Let's wait and see." Yuan Shan said with a frown. A large part of the interviewees these days are Turkic. It can only be used as a messenger on the construction site, which is far from the requirement of popularizing Chinese.

It's helpless to think about it. If it weren't for the group of businessmen who collectively responded to the problem of language barriers, Yuan Shan would not have paid much attention to this matter. Now that he has done nothing these days, he has been spending a lot of energy on recruiting teachers. , but the effect is still not obvious.

After drinking the juice that Caiyi brought over, he met the last two interviewees, but Yuan Shan couldn't communicate with them at all, so he couldn't help but say cruelly: "Since it's been a while since we can't find talents in this field, We can only use monolingual teaching first, and ask someone to inform Jiang Chengwang to let him gather all the people who are willing to teach in the counties of Cangzhou to Linhai District. There must be at least 50 people in three days, and capable scholars are fine. Don't be over 40."

Caiyi soon told Jiang Chengwang about this matter, and now the relationship between the governor and the Yuan family has become very close, and the people of the Yuan family can't see that the governor has airs at all.

The governor's work was very efficient. Three days later, Yuanshan in Linhai District really met a group of young scholars, but most of them had no teaching experience, and they were all students from the county who had passed the provincial examination. Young people, so most of the famous juren are about half a hundred years old, so they don't ask much at all.

Therefore, most of the people Yuanshan saw were young people, and the older ones were also in their 30s.

When these scholars saw Yuan Shan, they didn't react at all. When they saw Jiang Chengwang coming with them, they whispered. Although they knew what they were here for, most of them were inexperienced in teaching and even taught Turkic people. It is still full of fear, because of the reputation of the Turkic plunder and the sturdy folk style. These scholars think that they are barbarians and should not be educated. Of course, this is just their inner thoughts. After standing here, they will not Show it, nerds don't mean they're stupid.

"Hi everyone." Yuan Shan greeted these scholars directly after coming over.

He immediately got the attention of these scholars, but looking at them, he looked like he was facing an enemy. Jiang Chengwang didn't know how these scholars behaved like this, but Yuan Shan seemed to realize something vaguely.

Many people showed fear in their eyes. When they received the notice, they knew that the matter of wanting to start the school was initiated by the former servant She Yuanshan. They wanted to refuse at the beginning, not because they were facing The Turkic people feel uncomfortable not because they dislike the Turkic people as barbarians, but because this Yuanshan's "shit and urine war" against the blood students of Guozijian is so famous that this incident not only caused a sensation in Chang'an, but also in various states of the Tang Dynasty. It was widely circulated among the students in the mansion that many Confucian students hated Yuan Shan deeply, but it is undeniable that the fact that Yuan Shan created dozens of court officials by himself was also very sensational.

This is mainly because the Ministry of Economics and Development opened by Yuan Shan is very famous now, because no matter where you are from, you can become an official as long as you have the ability, which is much easier than other academic students. There are so many that many of the current Guozijian and other students have changed their learning content in order to be able to become officials easily, and another thing that attracts them more is that the officials in the Ministry of Economic Development can earn considerable income.

Facing such a famous person in Chang'an at such a close distance, the students in these places are anxious and looking forward to it, but most of them are still confused.

Many people have different attitudes towards Turkic people. Scholars will be more intense in their thinking, but only in terms of ideas, because no matter what era they are in, scholars always have a superior mental state. An attitude must be shown everywhere at all times. They have never thought of being a teacher for Turkic people.

Seeing everyone's reactions were strange and the atmosphere was a little embarrassing, but who Yuan Shan was was completely indifferent to these scholars who could only play tricks, so he heard Yuan Shan say: "I think everyone already knows the purpose of inviting you students. In fact, these things are His Majesty's wishes, and also the responsibility of the court, and it is a contribution that everyone present can make to the Great Tang."

Hearing what Yuan Shan said, Jiang Chengwang asked curiously, "How did you say that?"

At this time, the students are also curious.

Chapter 458 Cangzhou Mall Branch

"Everyone now knows that the Turkic forces in the Monan area have been eradicated by my Tang Dynasty, but the captured Turkic people did not choose to kill them. On the one hand, it is out of humanitarianism. After all, our Tang Dynasty is a state of etiquette. The killing method is not unique. Choice, since these people are left behind, it is hoped that they can bear the sins they have committed through their labor in Datang, and redeem their souls, and all this requires the efforts of everyone in Datang. Hostile? At least these people in the resettlement area are not because they are already living on the territory of the Tang Dynasty, and you scholars are shouldering the important task of national integration, educating these Turkic people and making them the people of our Tang Dynasty. Datang has made more contributions, and the prosperity of Datang is due to your efforts."

After Yuan Shan finished speaking, the students became fanatical. Give them a general label first. It’s no wonder that these people don’t jump into it by themselves. What matters to scholars is not their knowledge, not their relationship but their reputation. So more than 60 people standing in front of Yuan Shan were excited.

They didn't know that they could still contribute to Datang in this way. At this time, they were full of enthusiasm in their hearts. Yuan Shan was speechless because he still had more words to say. He knows the state of the person without talking about it, the atmosphere has already become enthusiastic.

The next thing will be handled by Zhang Chengwang. The funds for the construction of the school are sufficient. Not only can the Turkic people learn, but also the children of the Han people in the surrounding areas can be educated. Anyway, teaching these Turkic people starts from the most basic literacy. of.

If there is no bilingual teacher, then it is better to teach Chinese directly. At this time, the Turkic people will not object. Even if it is a forced transaction method, it must be done. Those who do not participate in the study will not be allowed to trade. This is very It's ruthless, but Yuan Shan doesn't care, even if someone wants to resist, isn't there still the governor of Cangzhou?

After a while, a large cart of Three Character Classics was distributed to the people in front of them, and under the title of the book there were three big characters "Written by Yuan Shan" printed brightly.The eyes of these scholars brightened when they saw it, not because of the shock of the Three Character Classic, but because this person who didn't like the students of the Imperial College actually published a book.

Seeing that the number is really quite a lot, Yuan Shan then said: "This is the textbook, and I will use this as a textbook for teaching in the classroom. I hope everyone can teach without discrimination."

After talking about Yuanshan, he ordered these people to be dismissed. It is not a problem to gather here. Let them go back with these three-character scriptures and have diarrhea first. After the school is completed, they can go to class directly.

Yuan Shan heaved a sigh of relief after solving this matter, and now he has an explanation to those merchants.

In the next period of time, Yuanshan had some free time. The environment in Cangzhou facing the sea is very good, but the number of lunbu salvaged by fishermen has decreased a little these days. There are not so many Lunbu in the frenzied salvage of offshore areas in the stage, but there are still a lot of Lunbu, and it takes a lot of trouble to salvage each time.

Yuan Shan sat in the study and looked at the ledger. This is the ledger of Lunbu sales. The industry with small profits but quick turnover is still very profitable, but now this industry has formed a certain scale, but what to do in winter, it may face out of stock, after all, frozen Lun The taste of cloth is not acceptable to everyone.

Besides, blindly salvage is not the solution. After all, the growth rate of these things can't resist people's appetite. Is it rare to eat species that are on the verge of extinction, so Yuanshan made a very important decision when Lunbu was making so much money. , That is to reduce the shipment of kombu on the one hand and start to promote seafood products on the other hand.

Now Yuanjia Workshop can produce glass bottles, so the idea of ​​canned seafood should be born. This part must not be a popular and popular food, but a high-end route, and when it is sold, it only sells cans and not bottles. , and this canned food was first promoted in Linhai District.

Not only that, but now there are a lot of seafood in the evening barbecue stalls in the Linhai District. For example, grilled squid is one of the workers' favorite foods in the past few months. Other octopus is also very delicious, and there are various kinds of crabs. kind.

"Husband, we are back." Dugu Ruolan and Du Qianyu walked in and said.

"How is the shopping mall in Cangzhou County?" Yuan Shan asked casually.

"There are already a few shops that have opened. It's just that the sales here in Cangzhou are not as good as those in Chang'an." Dugu Ruolan said.

During this period of time, Yuan Shan casually got a Lunbu business, and it would be great, so Dugu Ruolan and Du Qianyu discussed it and decided to open a Yuanjia shop in the county. But things backfired. Although the mall was opened, a four-storey pavilion was directly taken down by Dugu Ruolan and two daughters, and soon opened to sell clothing and other items from the Hepingfang store, but Cangzhou was not rich in the first place. , and those clothes are very popular in Chang'an, and occasionally businessmen often wear them, but the promotion effect in the local area is not good.

Only the sons and daughters of some rich families sometimes buy some, but this is a small part after all. In the past few days, Yuan Shan obviously felt that Dugu Ruolan and Du Qianyu came back from Chang'an County Mall later and later, Yuan Shan also very curious.

Du Qianyu was a little embarrassed, she had no idea about doing business, and she was exhausted following Dugu Ruolan during this time, but seeing Dugu Ruolan being so active, she could only follow along.

In the Cangzhou mall branch, the products are mainly from Yuan’s family. It’s not a good choice to sell some snacks in the mall. Yuanshan has not participated in it. Recently, he is too busy and now it seems that he has to participate. .

After listening to Dugu Ruolan's talk about the situation of the mall, Yuan Shan knew that it had nothing to do with the operation and management of the mall. It was more because Cangzhou was still unable to accept this type of store. Not obvious, I feel that the clothes in the mall are very different.

Although these clothes sell well in Chang'an, but the economic levels and trends of different places are different, so only those rich people who have contacts in Chang'an can make things, and more people who don't understand are the majority.

If you want to change, you can only rely on the accumulated publicity, but obviously you can't meet such requirements now, after all, you can't stay in Cangzhou for too long.

Chapter 459 Something Happened in the Resettlement Area

In the autumn harvest of the fourth year of Zhenguan, Yuan Shan has not returned to Chang'an from Cangzhou, but is preparing to return to Chang'an. He stayed in Cangzhou for half a year and was busy every day, but he could also see the sea every day.

It’s just that those who see more don’t think it’s so good. With the arrival of the autumn harvest, the weather changes quickly. The area near the sea itself is relatively cold in winter. Yuan Shan and the others also have this consideration when they plan to go back. The public bath project in Chang'an also required Yuan Shan to personally supervise the construction in the past.

In the past few months, the resettlement area has not been too quiet. With the increase in the number of Turkic people being relocated, more than 5 people have gathered in the resettlement area in just two months, which is the largest among several surrounding state capitals. The largest number of Turkic people is settled, and small frictions are prone to occur when there are too many people, and these small frictions are the beginning of disasters brewing.

After many people came to the resettlement area, because the living environment was different from their living habits, many people did not live in the house at all in summer, but ran outside the yard. Those with some conditions built it in their own yard. Putting up a tent, it's nothing, after all, they are in their own yard.
