Compulsory education in ancient times

Fortunately, even though Bai Ling was a bit dazed, it was about the safety of his own lady, so he studied very seriously and his movements were well-placed.

The two cooperated well, and within a few rounds, the woman spit out a few mouthfuls of river water and regained consciousness.

Seeing this, Tao Jianran's body softened, and he sat down on the ground, gasping for breath.Although cardiopulmonary resuscitation requires a lot of strength, Tao Yanran is not so weak that he will get tired after a few presses. The main reason is that he is under too much mental pressure. After relaxing, he feels his head is blank. Who am I?Where am I?Where am I going?

Bai Ling was in good spirits at this time, and started to cry again on the woman's body: "Wow! Miss, you finally woke up!"

Seeing Tao Jianran come back to life, Zhang Siyuan said in admiration, "I didn't expect you, Mr. Tao, to be good at medicine. You are really amazing!"

Tao Yanran waved his hand: "It's just some first aid skills, I'll teach you when I have time."

"That's a good relationship! The next time someone falls into the river, I won't be afraid to save him or die."

When Tao Jianran heard the words, he couldn't help but lament Zhang Siyuan's pure heart.And to Bai Lingdao who was crying beside him, it was the first time he had seen such a crying person, he couldn't bear it and quickly persuaded him: "Don't cry, you should take your lady to see a doctor."

Bai Ling was awakened by the words, and quickly said: "Yes, I want to take the young lady to see the doctor." But he stood up and looked around, and was about to cry again, "We don't have a coachman anymore, I don't know how to drive."

"..." In the end, it was Zhang Siyuan who drove their carriage to the county hospital, and then came back to pick up Tao Yanran.

By the time their little donkey cart reached Baolang County, it was already dark.

After going through such exciting things today, Tao Jianran was physically and mentally exhausted, but Zhang Siyuan was still as energetic as when he just set off, and continued to talk about the mountains: "Hey, Teacher Tao, I don't understand. The carriage of the two girls is not there today." Turn over, how did they fall into the river?"

Hearing this, Tao Yanran shook his head slightly.The lady certainly didn't fall in because the car overturned, and neither of them could drive, so there must have been a coachman before they got there.Now that the lady fell into the river and the coachman was nowhere to be found, after thinking about it for a while, I felt that this matter was very strange.

Moreover, the two girls don't look like ordinary people in their attire. It's better for them two powerless commoners to pretend they don't know anything: "Let's find an inn to stay in first, Si Yuan, your clothes are all wet, or Hurry up and take a bath and drink ginger soup, don't catch a cold."

"Hehe, I'm fine. I'm in good health. Didn't my elder brother and I go into the river to save people last year? I saved one more person than my elder brother, but when I went back, my elder brother was seriously ill. I was fine. Hahaha!" Zhang Siyuan succeeded The topic was changed by Tao Jianran, and he began to talk about how he heroically saved four people in a row in the icy river.

Tao Jianran also found it funny when he heard what Zhang Siyuan said.If he saved someone last year, it will last until this year, and if he saved someone again today, Zhang Siyuan can chat with others for several years!Although he complained so much in his heart, Tao Yanran still ordered: "It's better to be careful."

Zhang Siyuan naturally agreed, and while chatting with Tao Jianran, he found an inn to stay in.

Early the next morning, after breakfast with Zhang Siyuan, Tao Jianran went to the green brick factory he had found out about.

Baolang County is much more prosperous than Tongkou Town. Tao Jianran followed Zhang Siyuan and walked all the way from the commercial street in the center of the county. The roadsides are full of houses with green bricks and green tiles. Unlike Tongkou Town, there are only three or four rooms at most in one street. brick house.After such a comparison, Tao Yanran finally felt how great it was for Tao's parents, as farmers, to be able to build a brick house.

The Green Brick Factory is much easier to find than Carpenter Zhang's carpenter's shop. Go straight along the street, and at the end is a shop with "Hongyong Green Bricks" hanging on it.

The storefront of this shop is several times larger than other shops, but it does not have floor stalls like other shops, and it is decorated with exquisite gadgets.The inside is square, with only a wooden counter, and many styles of blue bricks are stacked in other places.Seeing customers coming, the middle-aged man in front of the counter raised his eyelids and ignored them.

No one greeted them, and Tao Yanran didn't care. He looked left and right with great interest, and finally settled on two of them.One is a regular rectangle, which is commonly used in building houses, and the other is a decorative brick carved with various patterns, which is used for eaves and other places.

"Shopkeeper, how do you sell these two types of blue bricks?" Tao Yanran asked the man in front of the counter.

The man seemed to feel that he was being disturbed, and frowned displeasedly: "It's a penny and a dollar."

"One yuan for one penny?! Didn't they all pay for one penny and one load before!" Zhang Siyuan shouted in surprise, his eyes widened.

"Love or not!"

Seeing his toughness, Tao Jianran also found it inconceivable: "Are you the owner of this store?" Why does it look like an undercover agent sent by the enemy?

Hearing this, the man seemed to have been trampled on his sore feet, and said sharply, "I'm not the boss, are you? Get out of here!" As he spoke, he picked up the broom and was about to sweep Tao Yanran and Zhang Siyuan. .

The two were driven out of the door in embarrassment, and Zhang Siyuan blushed with anger: "Who is this! He doesn't do business!"

Tao Jianran was also in a bad mood.This is the only green brick factory in Baolang County. If Hongyong doesn't sell it, they will have to go to the next county to have a look.Not to mention the long distance, the freight will be several times more expensive by then!Tao Jianran counted the remaining money, clutching his small purse tightly in distress.

"Let's go back first." Tao Jianran couldn't think of any good way, Hongyong was so expensive, so he could only go to the next county to inquire, it was better than being slaughtered here as a fat sheep.

Tao Jianran and Zhang Siyuan turned around and were about to leave when a somewhat familiar female voice suddenly came from behind: "Oh! You two sons!"

Tao Jianran followed the prestige, and found that Bai Ling was standing not far away with her pale young lady, waving happily to them.

"Hello, both of you." Tao Yanran greeted politely, but he didn't know what to say next, feeling a little embarrassed.

Zhang Siyuan didn't have this trouble, he was good at talking to everyone: "It's you, are you feeling better?"

"Thank you for your concern, my lord. I'm much better now." Miss Bailing's family replied. "Thanks to the rescue of the two young masters yesterday, the little girl is very grateful. If the two young masters have any difficulties in the future, they can come to Hongyong Qingzhuan to find me. The little girl's surname is Wang."

"The Hongyong green bricks belong to your family?" Zhang Siyuan was very surprised, looked up and down the master and servant several times, and then said seriously, "You don't look like profiteers."

"Of course our lady is not a profiteer!" Bai Ling pouted, although she was not happy that others spoke ill of her, but she did not dare to speak harshly to her savior.

Ms. Wang understood the meaning of Zhang Siyuan's words: "Are you two here to buy bricks?"

"Yeah! But your bricks are too expensive, and you want a penny and a dollar, why don't you grab it!" Zhang Siyuan became more and more angry, "It's too much to drive people away with a broom!"

Miss Wang frowned when she heard the words, and said: "Maybe there is some misunderstanding, you two wait a moment." After speaking, she took Bai Ling and walked to the green brick shop.

Zhang Siyuan looked at Miss Wang's menacing but thin back in a daze, and was a little worried: "She won't be kicked out by the broom?"

Tao Jian was silent for a while, although he felt that what Zhang Siyuan said was exaggerated, he was still afraid that Miss Wang and Bai Ling would be bullied by the middle-aged man: "Let's go and see."

As soon as Tao Jianran and the two walked to the door, they heard Bai Ling's angry voice: "You are just a servant, do you really think you are the shopkeeper, how dare you talk to the lady like that! Don't think that you are the housekeeper's son, the lady is still the master Where is my daughter!"

"Hmph! This old slave has been running this blue brick factory for the master for decades, and there is no credit but hard work. The young lady wanted to drive this old slave away as soon as she came, so you are not afraid of chilling everyone's hearts!" The middle-aged man was confident. Full, there is a hint of threat in the tone.

Bai Ling was so angry that he trembled all over, but Ms. Wang was calm and composed: "Since you don't want to obey the arrangement, then our Wang family can't tolerate a big Buddha like you."

"What do you mean?" The man felt bad, he had a vague guess in his heart, but he refused to believe it, and broke out in a cold sweat without knowing it.

Seeing his appearance, Bai Ling proudly said, "What do you mean? Hmph! Miss is going to sell you!"

"Impossible! My contract of sale..."

"Who do you think your contract of sale is in?" Miss Wang's eyes were dark, but the man fell to the ground with a dejected expression, and kept repeating: "Impossible, this is impossible..."

Ms. Wang ignored the man, and turned her head to look at Tao Jianran and the two at the door: "I made you laugh, I wonder what kind of brick you two want to buy?"

Seeing Ms. Wang's expression of wanting to discuss business, Tao Yanran could only seriously ignore the man who was still sitting on the ground, and pointed to the two models he had taken a fancy to before: "Only these two, the demand is relatively large, I want to build an acre of land House of."

Ms. Wang nodded: "How much will it cost? Do you have any drawings?"

"Yes!" Tao Yanran quickly took out the blueprint and handed it over.He had never built a house before, so he didn't know how many bricks these would cost.

There should be skilled workers in this factory who can help with the calculation, right?Tao Jianran thought that Miss Wang had the same plan, but he took the drawing, read it carefully, and gave a number.

When Tao Jianran heard it, it was almost the same as what he estimated, but more accurate, so he naturally had no doubts, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, this is also a talent.It's just judging by his posture, the servants in the family can run such a big green brick factory, the family must be powerful and powerful, and I can't win over for the time being, so I can only concentrate on business.

Tao Jianran came at the right time. The green brick factory had just started after the new year, and there were no orders for the new year. After paying the deposit, Ms. Wang said that she could make Tao Jianran's order immediately.
