Chapter 137 Winter is here, let it go, eat and wait for death



Everything has been arranged and Zhao Hao is no longer in a hurry.

After returning to the city, the days of playing badly began again.

Every day I either stayed at home watching the craftsmen build the printing press, or sat on the first floor eating and waiting to die.

Another clock was also given to Princess Yongning.

Her Royal Highness the Princess naturally liked it very much. She kept it in her bedroom for a few days. After she was sure that it was indeed a good item, she moved it to the Pepper Room and gave it to Jiang Wan'er.

It was the first time that Jiang Wan'er had seen this kind of timekeeping device. She understood it at a glance, and it could also tell the time with sound when the hour came.

Deeply loved by Jiang Wan'er.

When Jiang Wan'er heard Princess Yongning say that this clock was made by Zhao Hao specifically as a gift for her, she just curled her lips and said nothing.

She was too lazy to point out her own sister's little thoughts.

But Zhao Hao, that kid, is really full of creative ideas, and he can even come up with something like this.

If we set up a workshop and engage in large-scale production, it will definitely be an extremely profitable business.

But it seems that the guy is not going to use this clock to make money.

Of course Zhao Hao didn't know that Princess Yongning had given the clock away again. He had been feeling very happy since returning from the imperial farm more than ten days ago.

In a blink of an eye, another half a month has passed and winter has completely arrived. It is a bit unbearable to put your hands outside.

At this point, the papermaking workshop at the imperial farm also officially stopped operations.

Over the past month, through the workers' hard work, they produced a total of nearly 50,000 sheets of paper, which far exceeded Zhao Hao's expectations.

Two schools, each accommodating 500 people, were successfully established under Luo Bi's personal supervision and management.

At first, we told the tenant farmers to come to the classes and sign up freely, but they showed no interest at all.

But when the tenant farmers heard that the best students who came to the school would be given priority to work in the papermaking workshop, they suddenly became very enthusiastic.

The temptation is really too great.

Now the entire papermaking workshop is inside the imperial farm, it is a paradise-like place.

Three meals are provided every day.

Full.

There are also chicken, duck, fish and meat.

In addition, there is a daily wage of eighty cents, and even the women who cook for the workers earn dozens of cents a day.

The treatment is so good!

Entering a papermaking workshop is the dream of every tenant farmer.

What's more, once you enter the school, you will be provided with three meals a day, just like in the workshop.

As a result, everyone came, from old men and women in their seventies and eighties to children of eight or nine years old, regardless of gender or age.

Fifty to sixty thousand people came at once.

As winter is approaching, every household does not have much surplus food.

It is hard to find a place like this where you can get food and don’t have to work!

This scene also frightened Zhao Hao.

But I understand.

These tenant farmers belong to the lowest level of the entire society, and they may have never had a full meal since they were born.

Selling children is common.

Workshops and schools.

It's heaven.

However, although there were many people coming, it was impossible to accept them all. Once the age standard was put forward, more than half of the people were immediately persuaded to leave.

The rest must be healthy, nimble and in good health.

This wiped out half of it.

Finally, less than 10,000 people were left to take the exam.

The test is also relatively simple, relying solely on memory.

After a series of examinations, 500 men and women were successfully selected for admission.

The school officially opened.

Now that the school is settled, Zhao Hao has nothing to do. He can be completely free and just prepare to spend the winter.

That day, he asked Lao Zhong to take him to the villa in the south city.

I haven't seen those dozens of pigs for a long time.

I don’t even know what it looks like.

When I got there, I saw that they were growing well, each one weighing about 150 to 160 kilograms.

Seeing that Zhao Hao was quite satisfied, Lao Zhong chuckled beside him.

"Master, our pigs not only eat grass, but also eat bean dregs, so they can grow so fast."

"Other pigs aren't that fast."

Zhao Hao was indeed very happy. It was only 150 to 160 kilograms. Although it was still a little early, it was already ready for slaughter.

He waved his hand at Lao Zhong and said, "Hurry up and pick the biggest one. Kill one today and bring it home."

He really wants to eat pork!

Since he came here, he has never eaten real pork. Most of the time he eats mutton.

Beef can also be eaten, but in very small quantities.

Dagan is closer to the wild grassland and has trade relations with it, so it can purchase a lot.

However, cattle are still more scarce, and are generally purchased for use. Only old cattle are slaughtered.

So beef is available on the market, but not in large quantities.

Of course, this general situation applies to ordinary people. For aristocratic families and nobles, it is not a problem.

After receiving the order, Lao Zhong quickly arranged people to start slaughtering.

Brought the meat back to the first floor.

Zhao Hao personally took charge and made a big pot of braised pork.

Princess Yongning and Su Si were also invited to eat together.

In addition, he did not forget Princess Lianrou.

A large casserole was filled with it and sent to Prince Kang's palace.

As for adding new dishes to the first floor, there is no rush.

After all, this is pork, and those who come to the first floor to dine are all dignitaries.

They are not very accepting of cheap meat like pork.

Even if there is no fishy smell, this concept is not so easy to change.

I have to say, the pork is really delicious!

Zhao Hao simply ate too much.
