Chapter 511 Academy Opening
After hearing these words, Yan Zhong was even more stunned.
He stared blankly at the box of ointment handed to him by the young master.
He suspected that he had heard it wrong.
This... is this true?
A box of ointment really appeared in front of him. Could it remove all the scars on his face?
He couldn't believe it.
He didn't care about his appearance, but if he went out like this, it would be easy to scare people, so he didn't dare to go out.
Seeing him like this, his father was also worried.
He also wanted to get better, but when he saw the doctor, the doctor said that the scars on his face were too severe and could not be removed.
Yan Wu looked at his dazed son and became anxious, "Zhong'er, why don't you take it quickly and thank the young master."
Yan Wu believed what the young master said.
Otherwise, the young master wouldn't have to say these words at all.
Anyway, even if Zhong'er's face is not cured, his loyalty to the young master will not change.
Where has your usual cleverness gone?
He almost wished he could help take the ointment.
Yan Zhong came back to his senses and quickly took it, saying respectfully and gratefully, "Thank you, young master."
Shen Yueyao waved her hand and explained some things, then rushed to the next address.
There are a total of ten secret guards in Hezhou.
Shen Yueyao took advantage of the time and spent two full days visiting them all.
In this way, if these people bring their families to work in the workshop, she will have more than 30 loyal subordinates.
These more than 30 people help supervise all matters in the workshop and report on daily basis. She then signs a group of people to do the work, and then the papermaking workshop and printing workshop can get busy.
When she returned home that night, Shen Yueyao finally breathed a sigh of relief. She lay down on the recliner in the study and didn't want to move.
After Shen Yueyao returns home, she usually likes to stay in the study quietly for a while.
It's also a kind of relaxation.
Every time she came back, Shen Yueyao looked very energetic, but this time, she looked tired.
Su Xueyi felt a little distressed when she saw her like this, "Are you tired these past two days?"
Shen Yueyao said: "It's okay, it's just that I've visited a lot of people in the past two days and went to a lot of addresses."
"But it's also nice to have so many people available at once."
"Now we can open the papermaking and printing workshops."
Su Xueyi nodded and said, "In a few days, the academy will also start operations."
Shen Yueyao said: "Well, it would be good to let Dabao and Erbao go to school as soon as possible."
Su Xueyi said gently, "The two little guys haven't been idle during this period. On weekdays, they would stroll around the capital city and the docks under the guidance of the secret guards. Although they were just strolling around, they also saw and learned a lot."
When Shen Yueyao heard this, she understood what was going on and asked, "Did the two treasures write articles and draw pictures?"
"Indeed, they drew what they saw and heard, just like an atlas, and also wrote down their notes. They have very unique insights, and the two little guys didn't miss any of their classes every day."
Su Xueyi was worried that they would neglect their studies, so she would assign them some homework every day for them to complete.
For example, which page you are reading in a book, writing an article about your thoughts, practicing martial arts, etc.
Of course, there must also be time for fun.
Even when the two treasures are playing, they are also gaining knowledge.
Hearing this, Shen Yueyao was very relieved.
Shen Yueyao said lazily: "I'll leave the affairs of the academy to you."
Su Xueyi gently touched her hair and said distressedly, "Don't worry, I'll take care of the affairs at the academy. I've almost finished the arrangements."
Shen Yueyao knew that with Su Xueyi's ability, she would definitely arrange it if she wanted to.
Moreover, she had already designed the academy and drawn up a plan, and Su Xueyi also hired someone to build the academy according to the plan.
"By the way, do you have any help here? I feel that the secret guards my mother left behind are quite capable. I'll assign a few to you."
"Silly boy, no need. I transferred some people, a group of people my father once trusted."
"Mr. Qiao also recommended some people, so there will be no problem in running and managing the academy."
This way Shen Yueyao felt relieved.
"Let's go have dinner first, then wash up and go to bed early tonight, okay?"
Su Xueyi saw that Shen Yueyao looked a little tired.
I just wanted her to rest early, as she has been getting up early and going to bed late every day these days.
Shen Yueyao nodded and really wanted to sleep.
After dinner, Shen Yueyao washed up and went to bed early.
Two days later, Shen Yueyao went to Xiaozhuzhuang.
At this time, all the people she had summoned had arrived.
Only when everyone actually came to Xiaozhuzhuang and saw the furnishings in the workshop did they hear about papermaking.
Of course, I don’t know what exactly is done in a printing workshop, I just know that it prints books.
They don’t quite understand either.
But I just feel puzzled. Is the young master such a powerful person that he can even make paper?
But paper is expensive.
Although they were confused, they knew that what the young master was going to do was definitely something great.
Moreover, the dormitory environment arranged for them by the young master is very good.
The dormitory environment is really spacious and bright, and a family can apply to live in a suite.
There is also a workshop canteen.
The cafeteria looked like nothing they had ever seen before.
But the food is very delicious.
They cannot buy meals in the cafeteria now because they have no wages, but the manager Su Dao who is in charge of receiving them said that meals will be provided for the first month, and after the wages and bonuses are paid, they will pay for their own meals next month.
And they found that the food here was very cheap, much cheaper than outside.
Not only is it cheap, it is also very delicious.
Shen Yueyao first gathered eighteen people at the papermaking workshop and said, "You will all work in the papermaking workshop from now on. Yan Yi will be the manager of the papermaking workshop first."
"Starting today, I will explain to you the steps of papermaking, and then you will just follow these steps from now on."
"It needs to be cooked, rinsed, pounded, pulped and made into paper..."
Shen Yueyao briefly explained the steps to everyone and asked everyone to make paper according to these steps, making a small part first, and not mass-producing.
Once you succeed, make more in batches.
"The more we do in the future, the better the paper sales will be. Everyone will get commissions. The more paper sales there are, the more income we will earn, and everyone's bonuses will also be higher, so everyone should work hard."
"We will also build residential buildings nearby in the future. If we sell houses to workshop employees, we will have an internal price, which will be much cheaper..."
Shen Yueyao gave a brief explanation and then led everyone to start making paper.
After everyone followed Shen Yueyao for a few days, they all felt a surge of anxiety in their hearts.
If this kind of paper is produced, the price will be much cheaper, so that more scholars can afford to buy paper and read, right?
The key is that such paper is made by their hands, which is so exciting and shocking.
It was the first time they knew that paper could be made from bamboo.
It turns out that bamboo has such a great use.
However, everyone was touched. The young master trusted them and allowed them to participate in such a sensational event in the Great Yan Dynasty.
They are very proud to tell others that they make paper.
However, the papermaking process must be kept secret.
Shen Yueyao not only kept an eye on the papermaking workshop, but also on the printing workshop.
She thought that she would expand the scale after the workshop was on track.
While Shen Yueyao was busy, shops and houses were also being rebuilt at the dock.
Even Su Xueyi opened the academy to the public. The academy was officially open to the public, and students from poor families with good moral character could enter the academy to study.
There are also great scholars like Mr. Qiao teaching in the academy.
When this news spread, it caused a sensation throughout Hezhou.
Mr. Qiao is a very famous first-rank official who came from the cabinet.
Needless to say, he was well-educated. He became famous at a young age and was the top scorer in the imperial examination.
There are still legends about him circulating in Hezhou.
It was truly shocking that Lord Su could actually invite Mr. Qiao to teach at the academy, and it also excited many students from poor families.
