Compulsory education in ancient times

"What's going on?" Tao Jianran looked around, but couldn't find anyone, and his heart tightened, "Is something wrong?!"

"Probably not, one of the most valuable looms in this textile factory hasn't been moved." Tao Yanran said to himself, "And there doesn't seem to be any signs of fighting. One, two, hurry up and find them Where is the person?"

As soon as Tao Jianran finished speaking, two black shadows flashed past.Tao Jianran was not idle, and walked in cautiously.

The textile factory built a three-entry yard.As soon as you enter the door, there is a particularly large weaving room.Going further inside is the courtyard where the female workers live.

In the innermost part is the large yard for dyeing and drying cloth.The dyeing workshop is also full of female workers. In the past, the part that required strength to dye cloth has been handed over to the power water wheel. There is no male creature in the entire textile factory.

If there are really bad guys who want to plot against these girls, it will be a disaster!The more Tao Jianran thought about it, the more impatient he became, and he walked quickly to the living room.

The living yard was also a mess, everything that could be moved was tilted to this side, and the pole for drying clothes was also knocked to the ground. The clothes hanging on it were completely dried out, and there were still a few messy footprints!

Those footprints are relatively small and should belong to the female workers.Tao Jianran was in a hurry, An Yi and An Er also came back: "My lord, there is no one behind."

"What?! Quickly, go find Zhang Lin!" Tao Jianran hurriedly shouted.

Just as the dark guard was about to take the order, there was a sudden commotion in the courtyard, followed by Sanniang's charming voice: "Who is outside?"

Just when Tao Jianran was in a daze, Sanniang had already walked out.

Sanniang took a broom warily, and when she saw Tao Jianran, she was surprised, but she reacted as soon as possible, put down the broom, and asked with a smile, "Principal, why are you here?"

Tao Jianran saw that Sanniang's clothes were a little wrinkled, her hair was not very tidy, and her eyes were still tired. It didn't look like she was in any danger, but she looked like she had been having a good night, so she couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief, and said: " What's wrong with you? How did you make it like this?"

When Sanniang heard this, she knew that Tao Jianran had misunderstood her, covered her mouth and laughed a few times, and said, "I made you laugh, come in and talk first, I'll go change my clothes first."

Tao Jianran followed Sanniang to the living room, drank a few sips of tea to calm the shock, and Sanniang finally got dressed.Although the black and blue eyes were still a little obvious, but the whole person returned to his bright and charming appearance, and said with a smile: "Principal, you just came today. If you don't come, the sisters plan to go to Yuezhou Mansion to look for you."

"What? Want to announce the good news?" Tao Jianran saw that Sanniang was still holding a piece of pure white cloth when she came out.This scene is a bit familiar!

Sanniang handed the cloth to Tao Jianran, and said with a clever smile: "Principal, look, which one is better, this cloth or the one you use?"

Tao Yanran took the piece of cloth, and found that the weight was half lighter than expected, and it felt cool and smooth to the touch.I don't know if it will be better than the ice silk underwear on his body if it is made into clothes?

Even if it is not so good, the market is still huge!Ice silk is extremely rare, and you may not be able to buy it if you have money, you have to have power and power to do it!The entire Rui Dynasty was only owned by the emperor and a few favored concubines and princes. Even Qi Bohan's stocks were rewarded by the emperor during festivals.

If there is a fabric with the same effect as ice silk on the market, Tao Yanran can already imagine what kind of hot scene this fabric will cause!Although the summer in Ruichao is not as hot as in later generations, the key is that people wear a lot of clothes at this time!The issue of summer heat reduction has always been a top priority for wealthy families!

Tao Jianran touched the fabric again and again, the feel was so good that people couldn't put it down.After a while, he asked, "How much does this cost? What raw materials are used? How long does it take to weave one piece? Do you have a name?"

Sanniang was not caught by Tao Jianran's repeated questions, but replied one by one: "This piece of cloth, including the labor cost, costs about ten taels of silver. It is made of silk, but it has been processed through some processes. One person can weave one in half a month, but now only ten people have the skills to weave this kind of cloth. As for the name...haven't decided yet. Would you like to have one, principal?"

Tao Jianran silently calculated an account in his heart, now is the hottest day of the year, if he can get out a batch of this cloth first, he will make a name for himself first.Then save a little more before next summer, so will you be able to make a lot of money next year? !

"Why don't we just call it Celestial Silkworm Silk? It is claimed to be made from the silk spit out by a new kind of silkworm discovered in Tianshan Mountain." Tao Yanran has been with Qi Bohan for a long time, and the bad water in his stomach has more or less filled up.When the time comes to mislead everyone to Tianshan, no one will be eyeing Ning'an!

Thinking of this, Tao Jianran ordered again: "This recipe must be kept safe, and no one will steal it."

"Understood, don't worry." Sanniang responded with a smile.

"You have done a good job in this matter. Give everyone involved a [-]% wage increase, and give them another quarterly bonus!" Tao Yanran, as the big boss of the textile factory, is still very generous to his employees.Moreover, rewards and punishments are clearly defined, in order to maximize the enthusiasm of employees!

When Sanniang heard the words, she happily agreed.Then Tao Jianran remembered the mess outside, and Sanniang said shyly, "After the cloth was woven yesterday, everyone was too excited, so..."

Tao Jian understood in seconds.

Now the textile factory has set up three groups, one is the ordinary fine cloth group, which is responsible for weaving ordinary fine cloth for civilian use.This group also has the largest number of people, with 80 people. The fine cloth weaved in a month can supply a whole town to make a piece of clothing!

Their task is to reduce the production cost and time of fine cloth as much as possible, and strive to make ordinary fine cloth enter the homes of ordinary people at a low price.After the weaving factory continues to grow, Ning'an may cancel the cloth tax, so that the people can free up time to do other things.

The other group is female workers with better skills, there are 20 people, they are in charge of silk and satin, supplying the needs of rich and noble families in Ning'an, and selling the surplus.

The last group has ten people and is a secret research group.Now the basic usage of the new loom has been figured out, but there are still all special functions that have not been thoroughly studied.This group is responsible for experimenting with these new uses and then studying how they affect the cloth.

Celestial silk is the research result of this group.This group does not work with the other two groups, but everyone knows that there is such a group in the factory, and often the research results of the group will be shared with them to improve everyone's work efficiency, so even if the working place is different, everyone The relationship is still very good.

So when the silkworm silk came out, everyone was astonished as a heavenly being, and they gathered together excitedly to watch, and then they were so excited and excited for most of the night, that's how they came up with such a look.

Tao Jianran couldn't laugh or cry after hearing the cause and effect.Sanniang didn't disturb the others, and after walking around the textile factory, she left.Then he went around Lingzhou again, and returned to Yuezhou Mansion after a week.

The first thing to do when you return to Yuezhou Mansion is to pick up a pen and write a letter!

They want to sell sky silk, but Ning An is not suitable for being too high-profile now, so a middleman is needed to help block it.The best choice immediately appeared in Tao Jianran's mind: Guo Chengwei.

As the richest businessman in Huaiyang, the Guo family must have a wide network, and it is no problem to eat silk from the sky.And since you are an ally, you have to give him some sweetness, otherwise, who wants to help you build momentum without complaint or regret?We must know that most of the literati who came to settle in Yuezhou during this period came from Huaiyang.Since Guo Chengwei worked so hard, Tao Jianran naturally wouldn't treat him badly.

Tao Jianran only briefly mentioned a few words in the letter, telling Guo Chengwei to be mentally prepared with ominous words. After the first batch of silk from Sanniang's side was produced, he would send someone over there and have a detailed discussion face to face.

As long as the market for the silk can be opened up, Ning An will not have to worry about running out of money in the future!You know, the Imperial Treasure Auction has only been held for less than a year, and the 5000 million silver is now less than [-] million, and the food is only about [-]% left. Since the establishment of the military school and the arsenal, the consumption of food and silver has been rapid rise.

During this period of time, the Xie family kept "smuggling" recruits over the age of 14 to the Military Academy, and now the Military Academy has over a thousand students!If it weren't for the good weather this year and the taxation can recover a lot of food, Xingzhi Primary School might have to be disbanded. After all, Ning'an still has to focus on military affairs and farming.

Thinking of the arsenal, Tao Jianran remembered that he had promised before that Wang Lingjun had not been given the way to find minerals.So he called up the system and saw that his prestige value had just accumulated to a little over 1000. After exchanging knowledge, he copied it by himself and sent it to Wang Lingjun.

The courtyard where Wang Lingjun lives is not far from Chunkong Courtyard, which is named □□Mian Courtyard. The name of the courtyard entrusts Wang Lingjun's yearning and longing for a better life.

When Tao Jianran arrived, Wang Lingjun was meeting the guests.Tao Jianran looked at Wang Lingjun's serious appearance, and looked a few more times in surprise. Wang Lingjun coughed a few times uncomfortably, and hurriedly greeted him: "Biao...cough, Principal Tao, please sit down, I'm just now I want to send someone to find you."

"What's wrong?" Tao Jianran looked at Wang Lingjun's two guests.

A young man dressed as a scholar sat down at the bottom with a cautious expression on his face, staring straight ahead without even noticing that Tao Jianran was looking at him.The other is an old man with gray hair, wearing coarse linen clothes and a wine gourd around his waist. Although his hair has been tidied up, the old man's bohemian posture can still be seen.

Wang Lingjun quickly introduced to Tao Yanran: "This is old Mr. Zhao Hui and his student Bai Zitai. The old man is proficient in astronomy and has profound knowledge. This is his work. Please read it." After speaking, Wang Lingjun handed over a book.
