Royal road

"School, you have been here for a long time. The accounting is well organized and the budget is well done. It's really hard work." Sitting behind the desk, Liang Feng praised with a smile.

"No, it's not hard. The master treats me very well, this little work is nothing!" Zhou Kan replied excitedly.

This is also what he said in his heart.After coming to Liang Mansion for more than half a year, there are clothes for four seasons, seasonal gifts, and monthly salary and rice.After the wax festival, he was given [-] yuan, five pieces of silk and [-] catties of horse meat.When I came here, I came empty-handed, but half a year later, I have such a wealth, not to mention supporting myself, getting a wife and getting married is enough.How can we not let the weekly accountant be grateful?

Seeing Zhou Kan's grateful expression, Liang Feng smiled and said, "I'm relieved when the school says so. It's just that the fields will increase sharply in the coming year, and the population will also increase several times. I wonder if the school will be busy?"

When these words came out, Zhou Kan obviously hesitated.Now he is busy every day without touching the ground. He has to check carefully with A Liang when he goes out of the warehouse and into the warehouse. The number of seeds, the future grain production, and the reported Dingkou are used to calculate the expenses of the Liang Mansion in the next few months.There are so many and complicated things, it really takes a lot of effort.Now, hearing Liang Feng say that there is still expansion, I can't help but feel a drum in my heart.

After a long while, he hesitated and said: "Maybe when Zi Le comes, we can share some with him?"

This refers to the high apprentice Liu Hui who sent someone to invite him.Because I am in Qingzhou, I haven't come here yet.

Liang Feng sighed lightly: "Now that Luoyang is fighting, the roads are difficult, and Mr. Li can't tell when he will arrive. And after he comes, he will also be in charge of the sand table in the army, so I don't think he has time to ask about the affairs of the family."

It is nearly a thousand kilometers from Shanxi to Shandong. It is not surprising that it takes two or three months to go back and forth in this era, let alone encountering military disasters.Liang Feng had the patience to wait for the son of a great mathematician, but the work in the family really couldn't be delayed.

"Then...then let me try and call some people from home?" Zhou Kan's tone was not sure.To be honest, if the cousins ​​in the family were willing to go out, they would have come to Bingzhou with him long ago.Those guys who are eager to fight for food may not necessarily be willing to work in the Liang Mansion.Don't say that Bingzhou is still in chaos, even if it is not, how can they be tempted by the fact that the Lord has no officials.

Liang Feng shook his head and smiled and said, "I'm just looking for someone who can help, so why go far away? I have an idea. There are a lot more people in the village now, and there are at least 200 teenagers among them. It's better to choose from among them." Some, teach them to count. If there are smart ones, they will be selected as your assistants, and they will be trained for a year and a half, which will be enough to help you."

Zhou Kan's eyes widened in surprise: "But they, they are all ordinary people, I'm afraid they are stupid and can't be taught! Numeracy is no different than others. If you encounter stupid people, I'm afraid they won't be able to learn well in more than ten years."

"What if there are bright ones? The school might as well choose some simple topics, distribute them, try a few times, and you will see the result."

"This... this..." Zhou Kan was terribly entangled, so time-consuming and laborious, can he really teach usable people?Moreover, Lord Lang clearly wants to treat counting as a craft. If he teaches people like this, if there is someone with outstanding talent, won't he take his place?It happens from time to time that apprentices starve to death of their masters, so accepting apprentices is extremely harsh.How can we do the opposite?

As if seeing what Zhou Kan was hesitating about, Liang Feng said: "Of course, if these people learn from the school, the Liang family should also give corresponding training. As long as the school starts teaching, they will receive an extra hunk of rice every month .If you teach a person who can be used, you can add two bolts of silk cloth in addition to the monthly salary, do you think it is okay?"

Zhou Kan's eyes lit up immediately: "This, this... I don't have much knowledge, what should I do if I miss the Lord's important business?"

This is not a sincere excuse.Liang Feng smiled: "The school's words are serious. If these people are taught, they will also be your helpers. I only hope that those who are capable will work harder and teach some people who are useful."

Only then did Zhou Kan realize that the increase in monthly salary is a good thing, but these people may also be his responsibility.Needless to say, the importance of the accountant, if the helper is full of mistakes and cannot be reused, he, the manager and the master, may not be able to get rid of it.But the reward comes first, Zhou Kan finally gritted his teeth: "I will teach with my heart, and I will live up to the Lord's trust!"

It's true that you can't do the math, talent is talent.As long as he carefully selects apprentices and carefully teaches them, he is not afraid that he will not be able to teach them to be useful!

Looking at Zhou Kan's serious look, Liang Feng smiled and nodded: "It's so kind."

The family urgently needs a group of people who are proficient in basic mathematics.Anyway, I just learn to calculate, and the content of cultural courses such as literacy can be taken slowly.Generally speaking, those who have excellent mathematical thinking and logic are not too bad. If they are trained well, they can be placed in the army as a small official like the chief of staff in the future.This kind of grassroots personnel has a humble official position and is indispensable, so it is more appropriate to train them personally.

And this can also become another way for the Liang family to be promoted besides joining the army.Liang Feng never doubted the number of smart people, otherwise there would not be so many skilled craftsmen and outstanding businessmen without education.As long as there is an opportunity to learn, those with talent will naturally stand out.

After seeing off Zhou Kan, Liang Feng thought for a moment, then called Zhao Yu again.As usual, this wet nurse with multiple roles was neither humble nor overbearing, calm and polite.

Liang Feng smiled slightly: "You worked hard last year. The weaving room and the bookstore are both start-ups. It is really rare to have such good results."

"Langzhu's absurd praise. It's all a maidservant's job." Zhao Yu replied softly.

"A matter of duty? I'm afraid that many men can't be so appropriate. These are all credits, so there is no need to be humble."

Knowing that the Lord Lang really wanted to praise him, Zhao Yu bowed slightly, as if he was leading him.

Nodding his head in satisfaction, Liang Feng said again: "I just don't know the family, but there is still a smart woman like you?"

Hearing this, Zhao Yu raised his head in surprise.Liang Feng didn't go around the bush anymore, and said directly: "I just thought of this today. There is a lot of waste in the house now, and there is really a shortage of manpower. If there is a woman who is proficient in writing and knows how to count, it can be placed in the workshop Serving, these affairs are much more important than rubbing hemp and spinning."

This time Zhao Yu finally understood what Liang Feng meant.In fact, the hosts at home are usually women.In charge of the warehouse, income and expenditure of the family property, dispatch of servants, and even the shops outside, can all be controlled by the mistress.Therefore, the study of economics is also an important part of a lady's education.It's a pity that the mistress of Liang's mansion died early, and she didn't marry a bride, which made the master's affairs a little extra.

After thinking for a moment, Zhao Yu responded with a smile: "Slaves like this, my wife did bring a few when she got married, but she promised to go out, and I have to see what their husband's family thinks. Select a few people from the ward. As far as the servants know, among the women who were captured by bandits, there are quite a few of them who are well-educated and may come from wealthy families."

"Oh?" Liang Feng straightened up immediately, "Is there such a woman?!"

He really didn't expect this!But yes, bandits will rob, many of them are passing businessmen or petty gentry.These people are full of oil and water, and their force is not very strong. Aren't they just fat sheep?If there were female relatives following them, there would never be fewer people who were taken captive to the mountain.And these weak women who were raised in the flower house can persist in surviving, but after being rescued, they give up marrying and choose to live independently. Their mental strength cannot be underestimated.

Liang Feng knew better than anyone what a woman would look like when she was strong, so he became interested when he heard it: "If you are really smart and strict, you can choose two of them to enter the study and help me sort out letters and handle chores."

Zhao Yumei raised her eyebrows slightly, hesitated for a moment, and then replied: "This servant will carefully select two people."

"But will such a woman be found by her family and leave the Liang Mansion?" Liang Feng asked.

This is to choose a confidential secretary. If you work for a period of time and are picked up by your family, it will be a major safety hazard.He was just saving people, not signing a contract of selling himself, so this kind of problem had to be guarded against.

"They won't." Zhao Yu whispered, "These women won't even reveal their backgrounds, and they will never return to their hometown."

Liang Feng immediately understood the meaning of Zhao Yu's words.The more knowledgeable and reasonable he is, the more he will despise that period of the past.They have no face to do this kind of thing that discredits the family.Although they struggled to survive, the burden on their shoulders was not less than that of the dead.

Sighing lightly, Liang Feng said: "That's good. You can go and ask, if you want to come to the study, I will also give you a monthly salary."

This is the highest respect he can pay.Not as a slave, but as an employment relationship.Being able to support themselves would give those women a lot of peace of mind.

Zhao Yu naturally understood the meaning of Liang Feng's words, and bowed her head solemnly again.However, after raising her head, she did not leave immediately, but asked softly: "Master, the green bamboo will be ready next year, what is the master's plan?"

"Huh?" Liang Feng didn't react.Jiji is a good thing, but with the status of green bamboo, is it possible that the maid will also hold the Jiji ceremony?

Finding that the master who has always been sophisticated did not understand what she meant, Zhao Yu pursed his lips: "After reaching the age, you will be an adult. I don't know if the master wants to accept her or let her out."

Liang Feng: "..."

He really forgot about it!Damn it, a fourteen or fifteen-year-old girl is still a student in modern times, but in this evil old society, she is the age to get married.Liang Feng asked himself that he didn't have a hobby of lolicon, and he was really not interested in this kind of girl with no breasts and no butt.And the little girl has been with him for so long, although the mother chicken is a bit rough, but she is diligent in her hands and has a cute temper, so he has the nerve to talk!

Don't say it yourself, let other men spoil this kind of yellow-haired girl, he can't bear it!This kind of skeleton doesn't grow, so what if there is a dystocia?

After coughing, Liang Feng said: "Luzhu is simple-minded, I'd better stay by my side for two more years, and make a good family. It's a little hasty now."

Hearing this, Zhao Yu let out a sigh of relief.Luzhu's appearance is not bad, and the landlord didn't take it to heart.It seems that the choice of women is simply because they are available.This is naturally the best.Otherwise, with the appearance of the Lord Lang, if we get along day and night, I am afraid that troubles will arise.

It's a pity that the girl of Luzhu seems to like the Lord very much.It seems that I have to persuade her well.

The hidden worries finally dissipated, and Zhao Yu bowed his head again: "The master is kind-hearted, this way, the slave family will feel at ease."

After Zhao Yu also withdrew, Liang Feng couldn't help touching the bridge of his nose.Now he finally understood Boss Cao's life style.If you like the type of mature women, marriageable women are really useless, and mothers and wives in their 20s are the standard match.If you encounter someone who is more enchanting, you may become a grandmother.No wonder those members of the Cao family are keen on "I will raise your wife and your son".

Although he has no integrity in this matter, he never touches minors, and rarely touches those who have masters.Facing these women in the mansion, his heart is as calm as water.Could it be that in the future, we can only take the route of glamorous widows?

Thinking of this, Liang Feng embarrassingly remembered another matter.However, this kind of thing is not enough for outsiders.It's better to wait for Jiang Da to come back, and then ask him carefully.

Looking out the window, Liang Feng suddenly gasped, got up and walked to the door.I saw lead clouds piled up on the horizon, and after a while, a few ice crystals fell.Then, large flakes of snowflakes fell down like goose feathers.

It's snowing!It's still snowing!Now the winter wheat in the field can be kept.

Excited for just a moment, Liang Feng frowned.It's snowing, I don't know what's going on in Luoyang City...
