I Made 300000 a Year in Ancient Times

On the second day after Zhao Dahu went back, early in the morning, he hired a small worker, yelled and walked around the village with gongs and drums, and then went to another nearby village to repeat.

It was very successful. Everyone in the ten miles and eight townships knew the news that Huajia Village was going to open a school, and asked those who were interested to bring their children to Qu Qing to register.

On the same day, Zhao Dahu was worried that Qu Qing would not have any money to spend, so he sent another 100 taels of silver, and said to Qu Qing, "Twelve taels of this is the tuition fee for hiring a gentleman this year, and the rest is the school expenses such as buying books. , Mister, it is useful, if it is not enough, then come and discuss it with me."

Qu Qing was a little surprised that he suddenly felt relieved to hand over so much money to himself.

Seeing his doubts, Zhao Dahu said: "Buying books for the school is something that I, an old man, can't handle. I have to trouble Mr. to go to the bookstore in the town for this matter."

Qu Qing thought of the expensive book prices in this world, so he took all the money calmly: "Brother Zhao, don't worry, I will keep the money with me, and I will never spend it recklessly. What did I buy and how much did I spend?" , will write the ledger for you."

Zhao Dahu shook his head and said: "As the saying goes, don't be suspicious of people you employ, and don't be suspicious of people who are suspicious. Since I have given all the money to the husband, I have completely believed in the character of the husband."

In fact, Zhao Dahu was still a little bit sorry, but he was unwilling to ask him to increase the price, so he thought of giving 100 taels of silver at a time, which was considered a bribe.

Qu Qing didn't care about these things, and even if he really knew that Zhao Dahu gave less money, he wouldn't care. He will need assistants or even partners. He hasn't thought of what to do specifically, but if he can really have a group of talents created by himself in the future, whose ideas and thinking methods are infinitely close to his own, then he wants to What are you doing, isn't it much easier?

In the past few days, people have come to ask questions one after another, but most of them retreated when they heard that they would be responsible for the pen, ink, paper and inkstone. Few of them really made up their minds to sign up.

It was Zhao Dahu and his wife who brought his son and daughter to sign up.

Zhao Dahu's son is sixteen years old, named Zhao Huai, and his youngest daughter is 13 years old, named Zhao Xuan'er. Both children are dressed in silk and satin, and they are out of tune with the children in the village. The shaved head of the student who boasted to heaven was vaguely contemptuous.

With a smile on his face, Qu Qing took out a piece of paper with his usual expression, and wrote down their names one by one: "Okay, from now on, you two will be my third and fourth students respectively. gone."

Zhao Huai opened his voice, it seemed that he had just passed the voice change period, and his voice was a little strange: "Someone signed up before us, who is it?"

Qu Qing beckoned Jiang Zhu and Mao Er who were playing outside the yard to come in. The four children looked at each other, Qu Qing reported their names one by one, and finally concluded: "You will be classmates from now on, can you get to know each other in advance?"

Zhao Xuan'er pointed at the kitten in surprise and said, "He's my brother? Do you want my brother to enter the school?"

Qu Qing said: "You are a woman, don't you come to sign up?"

Looking for Xuan'er didn't say anything more, but the expression on his face looked a bit disdainful, and he whispered: "This kind of school, what can I learn..."

Zhao Dahu hurriedly pulled his daughter over and gave him a look, and then apologized to Qu Qing: "I'm really sorry, my daughter is not sensible, but she is very smart at reading, and she has never learned anything, but she gave her the Three Character Classic at home to her. After reciting it, Mister must never blame her for being rude today." Shuo Ran pulled his daughter and Qu Qing viciously to apologize.

Qu Qing naturally wouldn't care about a child, but he didn't take Zhao Dahu's praise of his daughter seriously. After that, he told the two brothers and sisters gently as usual when school starts, and told them to come on time.

Not long after, when the school was about to start, a few more parents brought their children to ask questions, but they still couldn't afford the pen, ink, paper and inkstone. A man asked humbly: "Just let my children listen Look, you should be able to learn something, if you write, you can use your hand to sign, it's just one more person, please accept my son."

Qu Qing sighed, and agreed to accept those children as auditors without pen and paper.

After hearing that there was no need to pay tuition fees, many people came and brought their children to sign up. Many of them also brought teacher apprenticeship ceremonies, that is, some work or small dishes. Qu Qing didn't accept them, so they quietly left them outside the door.

Qu Qing had no choice but to accept, and the names of the students increased one by one. By the time the school was about to start, there were already 40 students.

But among them, there were no more than ten students who could own pen and paper, including Zhao Huai, Zhao Xuan'er, Mao'er and Jiang Zhu.

It is definitely a big problem for people to study without paper and pens for practicing writing. Although he can provide them for a while, it is impossible to provide them all the time. He suddenly thought that he should not be limited to buying in the market.

The writing brush should be made of animal hair. As for the paper, if it is too expensive to afford, he can find a way to use other things instead, such as... Bamboo slices!

That's right, why didn't he think of it before, bamboo slips, in this way, the pen and paper will cost nothing except the trouble, and he only needs to provide ink, which is not a problem, a little dilution of the ink should be enough Many people use it, and it should be enough to practice writing.

When he thought of it, he acted. Qu Qing remembered that he and Jiang Orion had dealt with the wild boar before, and the pig hair was still there to be sold to those who came to collect it. He immediately went to Jiang Orion's house and tried to tie it up with the pig hair, rope and small wooden sticks. A simple writing brush, and then try to use it for writing, although it is not so easy to use, but for children who are too poor to get a point, it is better than nothing.

Jiang Liehu admired Qu Qingneng while watching, and then helped to make the brush that was so crude that it could not be missed, and Hua Zizhou also followed to help.

This thing is really not difficult and technical, and of course the quality is relatively poor, but he and the others spent an afternoon making all the pens of the students on the list who were unable to provide pens and paper.

Seeing that the school was about to be completed, Qu Qing planned to go to the town to buy textbooks and some necessary things, and planned to come back and start preparing for teaching.

This time he found the coachman he knew last time in advance. His surname is also Hua, his name is Hua Yam, and he lives in a village half a day away from Huajia Village. Qu Qing asked someone to bring a message. coming.

The driver's name was Hua Shanyao, and this time he made up his mind to send his son to learn how to read, so he signed up with Qu Qing on the spot.

After Qu Qing finished writing, he prepared the money for today. Maoer and Jiang Zhu also wanted to go with him. Qu Qing called Shangjiang Orion and took the two children with him. Inside the door, he hesitated to speak.

"You don't want to go?" Qu Qing asked.

"If you want to go, you want to go..."

Seeing that he seemed to have something to say, Qu Qing went in and asked him alone, "What do you want to say?"

Hua Zizhou took a quick look outside, seeing that no one was paying attention inside, so he whispered to Qu Qing: "That... didn't I say last time, go to the government to register and make a book, it's agreed."

Qu Qing didn't expect that he still remembered this incident very firmly.

After Hua Zizhou finished speaking, he looked up and saw that Qu Qing was silent. He panicked and said hurriedly: "It doesn't matter if you don't go to the government. I just remembered it suddenly. If you don't register, you won't register. In fact, it's fine like this. , let's go, there are many people waiting."

After he finished speaking, he bowed his head and walked out with a guilty conscience. Qu Qing didn't call him or stop him, so Hua Zizhou couldn't help feeling a little disappointed.

After getting into the carriage, after a while, Qu Qing got into the carriage: "I'm sorry, I just left something behind and kept everyone waiting for a long time."

The coachman grinned and said, "It's okay, it's okay, sir's matter, wait for sir's matter, you can wait as long as you remember."

Hua Zizhou looked at Qu Qingkong's hands, and couldn't make up his mind whether the thing Qu Qing said just dropped was the thing he was thinking about?

But along the way afterwards, Qu Qing chatted and laughed with everyone, but didn't say a word to him. He pinched his palms secretly, and kept silent throughout the whole process. When asked, he said that he was just motion sick and uncomfortable.

Motion sickness is fake, but the pain is real.

When we went to the town, everyone accompanied Tongyi to buy a few books, including poems, the Analects of Confucius, the Three Character Classic, etc., most of which Qu Qing could understand, and then bought a few large stacks of paper, a few pieces of inkstone, I bought a writing brush for Jiangzhu and Mao'er respectively, put them back in the carriage, and went to the place where I bought cotton wadding. I bought a quilt and a bed of cotton wadding, as well as the things I needed for food and clothing.

After it was roughly done, I made an appointment with the driver Hua Shanyao, and they each split up and planned to go around the town.

It happened that Jiang Orion also had something to buy, so he left at the fork in the road.

Qu Qing took Mao'er and Hua Zizhou and walked forward from the street.

Hua Zizhou looked at the bustling and bustling street, but he didn't appreciate it in his heart. He didn't even have the slightest interest in the cats screaming on the street.

He lowered his head in a daze and didn't pay attention to the surrounding situation. When he realized it, he and Mao'er had already pressed their fingerprints on a document, and then a man dressed as an official handed them something, and Qu Qing accepted it. stand up.

Hua Zizhou looked at his thumb that pressed the handprint in surprise, and then at Qu Qing, who was calm and calm, completely unable to understand what happened just now.

It shouldn't be what he thought in his heart, it's impossible, Qu Qing's expression looks as normal and natural as if he went into a store and bought something.

If it was that thing, it definitely shouldn't have such an expression, at least there must be something different.

"Father, what were we doing just now?" Kitty raised her head in confusion and asked.

Qu Qing smiled and touched his head: "It's nothing, everything is the same as before, as long as the kitty continues to be happy."

Hua Zizhou on the side thought sadly: Everything is still the same as before, it really is not what he thought.

Qu Qing led the two of them out of the gate where he was doing business. Looking at the bustling streets, he suddenly turned his head and called out the name of the person next to him.

"Huazizhou, are you feeling better from motion sickness?" He didn't seem to have the energy to speak all the way.

"It's much better." He responded weakly, and then two pieces of paper appeared in his sight, and he looked up at Qu Qing in confusion.

Qu Qing looked at him and said, "Hua Zizhou, don't say that you don't have a firm foothold in this family anymore."

Hua Zizhou took it with a blank expression, but he didn't react in his mind for a while.

Is that what he... thought?
