Furthermore, regarding the children's studies, they have changed from chasing and beating them with sticks every day to now advising them daily to balance work and rest and not to hurt their eyes.
If it weren't for the fact that these children were still spending money like water, even more than before, they would have suspected that the children had been possessed by some demon or monster.
However, once they were certain that the children genuinely loved learning, they were all incredibly relieved.
I think the children have become sensible.
Of course, the parents have no idea what kind of books these spoiled brats are reading; otherwise, they might be so angry that they would come and tear down the academy.
Fortunately, it won't be exposed in the short term, so both sides have given an explanation, and everyone is happy.
And so, Ji Minxiu taught these young dandies modern knowledge during the day, and then Yun Zhourong taught them again in the evening.
Yun Zhourong studied very diligently, hoping that it would come in handy someday and change the woman's situation.
Three months passed in the blink of an eye, and the house on the mountain was finally completed.
Yun Zhourong then went with Ji Minxiu to the site for inspection.
Upon seeing the modern squat toilet, he was immediately filled with admiration, "It's definitely much better than the latrines we have now. You don't have to worry about it smelling bad. Will everyone use these squat toilets in the future?"
Ji Minxiu nodded, "Yes, squat toilets are generally used in public places, but if you are at home, there is another type of toilet called a sit-down toilet, which you can sit on directly."
"I see. Life in the future will indeed be much more convenient than it is now."
Yun Zhourong nodded, then continued with her question, "But if we can't see anything, where did all that filth go after it was washed away?"
"There's a septic tank connected to the back, which is specifically used to collect excrement. We can take it out and use it as fertilizer for the cotton, making the most of it," Ji Minxiu said.
"That's wonderful, you've thought of everything!"
After listening, Yun Zhourong couldn't help but clap her hands and cheer, and said, "I think this kind of toilet is so convenient. Could you arrange one for our current home and the academy?"
Ji Minxiu nodded and said, "Of course there is no problem. Moreover, this squat toilet can also be made in the Dasheng Dynasty. As long as we have the blueprints, we can make it."
Squat toilets are made of ceramic, and the Dasheng Dynasty already had ceramic firing technology, so it was entirely feasible.
"That's wonderful! There are so many wealthy families in the city. If they knew that this would make their toilets clean and hygienic, they would definitely love it!" Yun Zhourong said excitedly upon hearing this.
Seeing her greedy look, Ji Minxiu couldn't help but shake his head and chuckle. He pinched her pert little nose and said, "You're getting more and more of a business mind from your aunt's influence."
Upon hearing this, Yun Zhourong touched her nose sheepishly and said, "There's nothing I can do. Those people are just too rich. You wouldn't believe how much fried chicken they eat like it's free."
"It's not like I charged you guys when I gave you fried chicken," Ji Minxiu joked.
"Hehe, yes, yes, Young Master Ji, you are a rich man, I have to stick close to your thigh." Upon hearing this, Yun Zhourong immediately said obsequiously.
"Well, alright, seeing how sincere you are, this young master will reluctantly protect you." Ji Minxiu said arrogantly in a very cooperative manner.
"Then thank you very much for your kindness, Young Master Ji." Yun Zhourong quickly bowed in a perfunctory manner.
"Hahaha…"
Afterwards, the two looked at each other and couldn't help but burst into laughter.
Once the place to live was built, Ji Minxiu ordered the mute slaves to begin clearing land in preparation for planting cotton.
In addition, there were several mute slaves who had mastered the house construction techniques. Ji Minxiu singled them out, trained them, and formed a construction team.
This is in preparation for the future sale of squat toilets.
The installation of squat toilets also requires certain skills, so once they are sold, it is equivalent to also bringing in income from the bricklayer's work.
It is better to teach a man to fish than to give him a fish. Although arranging for these mute slaves to grow cotton on the mountain is also a good option.
But if these mute slaves could have other, better options, that would naturally be what Ji Minxiu wanted to see.
Therefore, this construction team is a good choice.
After training the workers, the construction team took on a project to work at Yunjia Academy.
Ji Minxiu was satisfied with the final result. These people were serious and reliable in their work, and their skills were up to par. They did not disappoint the trust placed in them.
Those wealthy young men who enjoyed the convenience of squat toilets became the first users, and upon returning home, they immediately clamored for their homes to have them installed.
At first, the wealthy people had some doubts, but after experiencing the benefits, they immediately followed suit.
In this way, word spread like wildfire, and the reputation of squat toilets spread extremely quickly. Before long, orders poured in for the Yun family like snowflakes.
Meanwhile, the construction team got busy after the first squat toilet was sold.
As the sales of squat toilets increased, the construction teams became increasingly busy, even becoming the most popular force in the city.
After all, there will always be some overt and covert competition among the wealthy, and they must stay at the forefront of fashion.
Today, this squat toilet is a testament to its strength.
Whoever can install it the fastest will have something to show off and elevate their status when they meet.
Therefore, many wealthy families even bribed the craftsmen to install squat toilets more quickly, and their attitude was extremely polite.
After all, in the entire prefecture, their construction team is the only one that knows how to install squat toilets.
Moreover, the prefect is standing behind them!
Previously, there was a wealthy man who thought highly of himself. He not only treated the construction team's craftsmen with condescension, but also mocked and insulted them for being disabled and unable to speak.
The craftsmen got so angry that they quit.
The tycoon initially didn't take it seriously and even threatened the construction team that he would kill them all if they didn't do a good job.
As it turned out, the man wasn't killed. The prefect intervened and sought justice for the construction team. The wealthy man was not only fined but also reprimanded.
The worst part is that their family was blacklisted by the construction team.
The squat toilet in that rich man's house was only half installed. At first, he was hoping for the best and asked other bricklayers to help, but all of them failed.
In the end, it is said that the thing was abandoned there, and the tycoon was complained about by his family and became a laughing stock in the wealthy circle.
Therefore, having learned from past mistakes, no one dared to make things difficult for the construction team again.
Of course, the construction team members themselves are very law-abiding and only focus on doing practical work. They never cut corners or cheat, so they are highly regarded.
