Chapter 65 Was I Considered a Love Rival by the Emperor? ...
65
Lin Baige took the emperor and them to see the classroom. The children were divided into a class. Lin Baige had stayed up for several nights to make teaching materials and printed dozens of books. He planned to teach them pinyin, character recognition and arithmetic himself.
After teaching them, he will select a few of them to be teachers to teach the next batch, and he won't have to work as hard as he does now.
Lin Baige did not become a teacher, but he had been a student for so many years and knew a little about how to teach students.
Although the remaining people form a large class, they will be divided into several groups later to complete the sugar and wine-making tasks first.
In this era, there was not only no beer but also no liquor, only fruit wine, and the fermentation method was also very ancient.
It just so happened that this year he distributed curved plows and cows, and reduced agricultural taxes for a few years. With more grain, he also had grain to make wine. When the time comes, he can open a winery and increase employment.
In fact, he also planned to distribute the wine-making recipe and encourage the opening of wineries across the country, just like he did with paper mills and printing houses. This would provide employment opportunities for people across the country and develop the national economy. At that time, wine could also be exported to the other three countries like salt and paper.
Previously, the relationship between Jin State and Jiang State was not harmonious, but recently Jiang State was preparing to make a truce with Jin State. Jiang State also sent envoys to discuss with Fu Jiangyu that it could export sea salt to Jin State at the usual price, and hoped that Jiang State could export paper to Jin State.
Jiang Guo wanted Fu Jiangyu to raise the price of their bamboo salt so that they could unify the prices, otherwise the other two countries would only buy bamboo salt and not sea salt.
After hearing the news, Lin Baige complained to Fu Jiangyu: "Although I prefer eating sea salt, we have dug another salt well anyway. Who cares if they can sell the sea salt or not? What does it have to do with us? It's better if they can't sell it."
Fu Jiangyu listened to him babble for a long time before he heard Lin Baige say that he liked to eat sea salt. "Ask him to send a few trucks of sea salt for free, and I'll consider whether to do as they say."
Lin Baige: "Your Majesty, do you think that collecting sea salt is easier than well salt? If they can lower the price even further than ours, our costs will not be worth it, considering the high labor and transportation costs."
Fu Jiangyu: "If you like to eat, I will conquer Jiang State and let you eat as much as you want."
"What to eat?" Lin Baige was excited when he heard that he had conquered Jiang State, but the country is still in the recovery stage and is not suitable for fighting. He suspected that future system tasks would include making gunpowder or even guns and cannons. If these were used, it would be easy to conquer Jiang State.
"Didn't you say you like sea salt?" Fu Jiangyu answered his previous question.
"How much salt can I eat? I can't even eat a bag in a year. But they are close to the sea, so we can eat seafood, coconuts, and lychees..." Lin Baige made himself greedy. The Jin people lived in an inland area, so there were no tropical fruits and no seafood.
Thinking of seafood, he was even more motivated to quickly develop the economy of Jin State and make Jin State rich enough to attack Jiang State. Otherwise, the ruler of Jiang State would always be eager to unify the four kingdoms, and Jiang State also wanted to make the people of the other three kingdoms their slaves. Instead of waiting for those bad guys in Jiang State to attack them, it would be better for them to conquer Jiang State first. If the other two kingdoms were to be on good terms with them, there would be nothing he liked to eat. Peaceful coexistence would be the best.
He did intend to open the factory to make some money, but no matter how much money he had, he could not keep it without power, so he had to make more achievements, gain a firm foothold in the court, and hold power in his hands.
He even thought that if Lord Zhang passed away one day, he would become the Prime Minister.
Recently, he has been getting along well with Master Zhang's other disciples. They are all his connections, and they may become his followers in the future.
When he opened the school this time, he brought in two senior brothers to help recruit students. The sisters of the two senior brothers were all educated people. They usually worked as female teachers in some wealthy families, teaching rich girls to read and write. Lin Baige talked to them and felt that they were good people, so he decided to let them come to the school as teachers and help manage the school. Otherwise, Lin Baige would not be able to handle it alone.
After Fu Jiangyu and Lin Baige toured the school, they found it to be quite realistic. It seemed that Lin Baige had not lied when he said he would teach them to read, write, brew wine, and study medicine.
"Where did you learn how to brew wine? Brewing wine is easy to explain, but you taught them medicine. Who did you learn medicine from?" Fu Jiangyu saw that his body suddenly became stiff, and curled the corners of his lips: "Tell me properly tonight."
Lin Baige also discovered that Fu Jiangyu didn't care at all why he was different from the original owner. Not only did he not care, he also used these to threaten him to work harder in bed at night.
Did Fu Jiangyu really like the original owner? He suspected that Fu Jiangyu was just a pervert, and that he was attracted by this face and body...
Lin Baige looks almost exactly like the original owner, except that the original owner's eyes are more charming than his, and the rest are almost the same.
He was confused. They were two very similar people, so why couldn't he meet a boyfriend as handsome as Fu Jiangyu in the real world?
After touring the school, Fu Jiangyu told them before leaving: "Don't touch my people."
There was a threat in his tone. His aura was originally very oppressive, and coupled with his status as the emperor, when he was present, no one dared to breathe. They were almost scared to death by his threats.
After Fu Jiangyu left, they seemed to realize that the Emperor had told them to stay away from Lin Baige. What did he mean? Weren't they here to train to become imperial concubines? Why were they considered rivals in love by the Emperor?
