Chapter 267 Return to Chang'an is just around the corner

Su Lu demonstrated it to Fu Zhong and Hu Erlang on the spot.

Skillfully twirling the beads, making crackling sounds, he called out the number and then said the answer.

Fu Zhong had only nodded politely at first, but when he got to the multiplication and division part, he couldn't sit still any longer. "So fast?"

"Didn't Mr. Fu see it?" Su Ying smiled.

"This! How did Miss Su train herself?" Fu Zhong knew that there must be a special method, otherwise she wouldn't be able to get the hang of it so quickly.

"Addition, subtraction, multiplication and division have special formulas. This is the teaching material I compiled. You can use it!" Su Ying gave Fu Zhong the book she had just copied.

The Lord Temple Minister is about to leave, so I took the time to copy another copy and give it to him!

Oh! Handwritten manuscripts are such a hassle!

"This is different from Qintian... and the algorithm formula I have seen before. There are many differences!" Fu Zhong felt that it was very different from the formula he had seen before.

"There's no specific requirement for this, just practicality and ease of use! The ones that Fu Dongjia sees should be more advanced.

This is suitable for beginners and those who are not very literate. As long as they know numbers, they can learn and master it quickly. "

Su Ying's is the collective wisdom accumulated over thousands of years, it is simple and easy to learn.

"Thank you! Then I need some abacus. Do you have any ready-made ones?" Fu Zhong made another request.

"Well, there aren't any ready-made ones, but the county yamen's household department is about to start a class. Why don't you send the shopkeepers to attend the class? The county yamen will distribute abacus uniformly."

Su Ying thought of a convenient way.

"Oh, a girl is teaching?" Fu Zhong asked.

"No, my brother! This abacus is simple and easy to learn. The children in the village school mastered it in a month. This time, they even helped the household department collect taxes in the countryside.

All the girls have gone, and they are all capable, no worse than the boys, otherwise the lady wouldn't be interested in them and choose them to work for her."

Fu Zhong looked at Su Ying, feeling that there was something else in her words. "From what you said, I guess there are many outstanding boys as well?"

"Every child in our village school is very smart. Mr. Fu, would you mind picking a few to try out? They can read and write, and they're good at using an abacus!"

There is no need to pay them any salary, just provide them with three meals a day and let them read in their spare time.

For you, it will give you a few free accountants and shopkeepers, and for the children, it will be a study tour, allowing them to see famous mountains and rivers and gain experience. What do you think, Mr. Fu?"

Su Ying suddenly decided to read thousands of books and travel thousands of miles.

You have been living in the mountains since you were born, and the books you read are handwritten. It would be better for you to travel with Fu Dongjia and Hu Erlang and see the outside world. Broadening your horizons is far more important than studying hard, and it is more intuitive and shocking.

"This..." Mr. Fu was confused.

As soon as the disaster in Hebei and Henan Provinces is over, he may return to Beijing. It is unknown how this huge business empire will be dealt with.

He is bringing a group of children with him. Who knows if he will be recalled to the capital halfway?

The reason why he was able to build a huge business empire so quickly was that, in addition to the hot commodities such as vermicelli, honey, tea oil and brown sugar,

The Chen family of Quanzhou Port also made an indelible contribution. They had an extremely difficult life after the ship sank for decades.

Taking advantage of Fuzhong's favorable conditions, the Chen family, which had been holding back their anger, took advantage of the situation and expanded rapidly, becoming unstoppable and ferocious.

There were also Fu Zhong's former eunuch colleagues who had no way to make a living after being driven out of the palace. After hearing the news, they gathered together and showed their skills in Hebei and Henan Provinces.

With the secret support of Tian Khan and Empress Zhangsun, this business empire emerged and was unstoppable.

Although the frost disaster in Hebei and Henan was severe, the people were not displaced.

As long as the first rice harvest in Lingnan is delivered continuously, the people will be able to overcome the difficulties. Once the autumn grain is harvested this year, the crisis there will be completely resolved.

"Don't worry, Mr. Fu. If you are not satisfied with the children, you can terminate the study tour at any time. With Mr. Hu here, he will definitely take care of the follow-up matters." Su Ying saw that Fu Zhong was in a dilemma.

"Uh, you're worrying too much, girl. How could the ones you recommend be bad? I'm just worried..." Fu Zhong hesitated for a long time. It was really hard to say. "Forget it, just pick a few and take them with you!"

I have gained so many benefits from Su Ying, so this little favor is just a piece of cake for me.

If there is an imperial edict, isn't Hu Erlang still here?

"In that case, Su Ying would like to thank Master Fu on behalf of the children!" Su Ying bowed.

"Thank you, Mr. Fu and Mr. Hu, for your kindness!" Old man Yang also stood up to express his gratitude.

I know that this is Su Ying helping the younger generations in the village plan for the future! This trip out is not only to broaden my horizons, but also to find an opportunity to contact my family.

With the financial support and encouragement from their relatives, the children can avoid many detours.

"Oh, you're welcome. It's just a piece of cake! It's free labor! It would be a waste if you don't use it! Haha!" Fu Zhong said with a smile.

As everyone was waiting, the sour radish and duck soup was served.

"Oh, this sour taste is really appetizing!" Hu Erlang scooped a spoonful of soup and tasted it.

Chickens, ducks, geese and other poultry are mostly eaten by the common people and poor people, and the rich look down on them.

The Hu family was not wealthy, but they were one of the best in Wu County. They mainly ate mutton and only ate poultry once or twice, but they found it unpalatable.

But today's sour radish and duck soup is fresh, refreshing and appetizing. As the weather gets warmer, I can eat three bowls of sour soup with rice!

Fu Zhong and Fu Wang are eunuchs and have little appetite, but they were still amazed by this soup.

It's rare that I finish a bowl and then add half a bowl, and then I control myself.

Yang Chunhua ate two full bowls, which was the most delicious and filling meal she had had in recent days.

The two daughters-in-law of the Yang family were invited to dinner together. It was rare for the two sisters-in-law to be guests at the Su family, and they thought they would just eat delicious food.

But unexpectedly there was more good news. If they were willing, Hu Zi, A Mu and Asang could go out to travel with Fu Dongjia and Hu Erlangjun.

The two sisters-in-law nodded in agreement. It was one thing for them to be reluctant, but the opportunity was so rare that there was no time for hesitation.

If you hesitate, the opportunity may fall into someone else's hands!

Who doesn’t want their children to go far and fly high?

The village elders have also come. The future of each family is at stake, so there can be no favoritism! Huanggou Village is a community.

They originally thought that they would have to wait until the children grew up and overcome all obstacles before they could reach Chang'an, but unexpectedly, good things happened and everyone present was excited.

"Come, Old Man Wang, eat some food!" Old Man Yang picked up some food for Old Man Wang. "This is a rare opportunity. Ah He is a smart kid!"

Old man Wang was distracted while eating.

How could he not be happy? But Ah He was his adopted son, the one who would take care of him in his old age and see him to the end.

What if I get a headache or a fever while traveling with you? There's not even anyone to serve me tea or water.

But he couldn't bear to let Ah He go. What a good child, what a good seedling!

"Yang Shoudao, you say it! I will only plan for my grandson! No need for you to say more!" Old man Wang's eyes were moist.

"Why are you crying? With your strong body, you can easily endure for another ten or twenty years. Then Ah He will take you back to Beijing to enjoy your life. It's so nice to return to your roots!"

Old man Yang patted his father-in-law and said.

In addition to their children, the belief that keeps them alive is the desire to return to their roots.

Hope is right in front of us. If we persist a little longer, the children will soon grow up, become successful, and return to Chang'an!
