Chapter 507 Conquering the Eastern Jin Dynasty
Merit is indeed a good thing, but it is not easy to get. The merit they had obtained before was obtained by relying on high-yield crops, but they have almost found all of them and it will be difficult to find more.
But there are other ways. After all, she is a person who has experienced the era of information explosion. Shu Xiaoxiao does not feel much pressure about merit. The important thing is that there is a way to save the ginseng. For plants, land is the cradle of their life and the foundation and cornerstone on which they depend for survival.
The temperature outside is low now, so ginseng must not be planted outside. I asked someone to find fertile soil and plant the ginseng directly in a pot and place it in front of the window, so that it won't be too cold and there will be ventilation.
Then she found a pen and paper and began to plan her merits. In modern times, she watched a lot of mythological TV shows and read a lot of novels. Merits mean doing good deeds. The more good deeds you do, the more merits you will naturally get.
Merit is something that is accumulated over time, but now we have no time, so we can only find ways to do more things that benefit the country and the people.
She has almost developed the planting aspect. No matter how hard she tries, the effect is unlikely to be significant and she won't be able to make any big waves. So she'll try other aspects.
The first thing is to repair bridges and roads. Repairing bridges is no problem. As long as you are willing to spend money, any bridge can be built for you. Today's craftsmen are very skilled, and there will never be the shoddy projects of modern times.
As for repairing the road, unfortunately she had already handed over the chemistry she learned to the teacher a long time ago, and now there is nothing left. There is no rush to repair the road, and the priority is to build a school.
At this time, people's cultural level is generally not high, and the illiteracy rate may be over 90%. Therefore, when building a school, although there is no need to worry about the source of students, it is difficult to find suitable teachers.
Therefore, cultural courses cannot account for the majority of the school's courses. That is to say, in a technical college, teachers do not have to be literate. Anyone who can cook, farm, build houses, do accounting, weave, or embroider can be a teacher as long as they have mastered a certain skill to a certain level.
Although in this era people value teaching their apprentices while starving themselves to death, as long as she is willing to spend money or has more job opportunities, a teacher can still be found.
Of course, since it was not acceptable for a student to be illiterate, the school made cultural subjects into public courses and recruited a few poor scholars and students to teach the classes. They did not need to teach them very well, as long as they could recognize the characters.
Of course, building a school is not a small project. People nowadays have no concept of going to school. Not to mention paying tuition, I guess no one would come even if it was free, for fear of disrupting their family work.
Therefore, there must be a detailed plan for the students' age, treatment at school, jobs after graduation, and night schools. Just like modern training classes, they are so eloquent. No matter what major you study or what your academic qualifications are, as long as you spend one or two years in their training classes, you can easily earn over ten thousand yuan a month.
If she hadn't already been working in society for two years, she would have believed it.
The school she built will definitely not be completed without a start or an end, but this pie-in-the-sky approach needs to be written down. Building a school may produce results slowly, but it will definitely bring the greatest rewards and is the fastest way to change most lives.
We can also develop animal husbandry. With high-yield crops, most people can now have enough to eat. The next step is to consider eating better, and then reading and writing will be a natural thing.
Shu Xiaoxiao thought and wrote, and in a short while she had written down a piece of paper. Then she began to sort out her assets. Because she had space, she liked to carry more valuable items, especially banknotes, with her.
Zhenzhu is the accountant around her, and her daily expenses are all taken care of by Zhenzhu, so apart from the several thousand taels of silver in Zhenzhu's hands, the rest are all kept in the space.
Because of the various crops, she had a lot of silver in her hands, but she hardly spent it. Whether it was the General's Mansion or the Dingbei Marquis Mansion, they all gave her silver or prepared things in advance, so she didn't need to buy anything.
So he had a lot of silver in his hands, nearly a million silver notes, and it felt almost like nothing when he looked at them. When there was a lot of money, it really just looked like a number.
This was in ancient times, when silver was valuable and there was no need to worry about not having enough money.
Now that she has the banknotes, she needs people. As I said, she can give advice and provide money, but when it comes to getting things done, she is not confident enough. Professional matters have to be left to professionals.
After thinking about it, Shu Xiaoxiao wrote down some of her plans and prepared three copies, one for the emperor, one for her master, and one for her eldest senior brother. She didn't want anything else, just people who could get things done.
She originally wanted to donate, but gave up after thinking about it. There was no professional donation channel at the moment, and she didn't know who would get the money when she took it out.
As for directly giving silver to the people, that is even more ridiculous. Not only has she not earned much merit, but she has also made people lazy and gluttonous, and made them develop the habit of waiting for pie to fall from the sky every day. That is her sin.
She still understands the principle that it is better to teach a man to fish than to give him a fish.
When Yun Qinghan came back and saw Shu Xiaoxiao, who was in a different mood than usual, he raised his eyebrows. After helping Shu Xiaoxiao to revise the letter, he looked at her ginseng treasure and tacitly did not ask anything.
Shu Xiaoxiao was in a good mood, and she felt even better when she saw her husband's handsome face. She threw herself into his arms, and the two spent a wonderful night. The next day, Yun Qinghan left refreshed, and Shu Xiaoxiao's legs were so weak that it took a long time for them to return to normal.
As Shu Xiaoxiao was busy, the battle on Yun Qinghan's side soon began. Without Jia Ran's ability to taming beasts, Daning could be said to be unstoppable against the Eastern Jin Dynasty.
Especially later it was discovered that Tao Boqi's father was actually a bandit in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and a bandit with relatively large power. When Tao Boqi was a child, he went out and had an accident, and by chance he stayed in the bandit's camp.
Later, when he was able to come back, he found that all the sons in his family had become scholars and were good at studying. With a father like him, he probably wouldn't be able to continue his studies, let alone pass the imperial examinations.
So he secretly left some silver and didn't dare to recognize her. It was only when he was talking to Tao Boqi's mother that Tao Boqi discovered him.
After Shu Xiaoxiao learned the news, she went straight to Tao Baiqi. As long as Tao Baiqi's father agreed to work together with Yun Qinghan, his father would be a meritorious official and it would be easy for him to change his identity.
This is also what Tao Boqi found his father had been worried about. Now that Shu Xiaoxiao spoke up, Tao Boqi contacted his father directly without any doubt.
It can only be said that people who can thrive in a bandit’s lair still have some abilities, and they can always play a key role when Yun Qinghan attacks the city.
After all, there are very few bandit gangs with a little more power that have no connection with the imperial court.
Daning was already strong in military power, and with the surrender of Tao Boqi's father, it quickly conquered the Eastern Jin Dynasty.
Princess Jia Ran lost her system and became an abandoned pawn when she was sent back. Naturally, she was unwilling to accept this. It didn't matter even if she lost her system.
Because isn’t there still a system in this world?
When it comes to the host of the system, her first reaction is Yun Qinghan. Among that group of people, he is the one with the highest status and the strongest ability, and he is more likely to have the help of the system.
So she planned to start with Yun Qinghan. Even if she couldn't get the system back, as long as she could get Yun Qinghan's heart, she would be the same as before.
Unfortunately, before she could find Yun Qinghan, the Eastern Jin Dynasty was gone. After the Eastern Jin Dynasty was gone, the servants around her were not very loyal to her. Seeing that she was looking for death and was going to find the ruthless god of war in Daning, no one wanted to die with her, so they just ran away when they were resting at night.
She was a single woman, and even if she had some money, it was not safe. No one knew where she ended up. Without the system, no one worried about her whereabouts.
