After leaving the palace, Shen Gongbao chuckled and said,"
"Congratulations on your promotion, General Zhang."
Florence was extremely depressed and asked,
"What's there to congratulate? Don't you have a lot of power?”
Shen Gongbao said,"
"Although this is a general, the word 'assisting the country' is added in front of it.”
He stroked his beard and continued,
"For example, the family of Huang Feihu, King of Wucheng, had many generations of loyal ancestors before they obtained the title of National Guardian!”
After hearing Shen Gongpao's words, Zhang Fang realized that her position seemed to be quite high.
However, he did not care much about this. So what if he had great power in the secular world? If he could not survive this great tribulation, everything would be a bubble.
"I wonder how General Zhang plans to open the academy next?”
Florence shook her head!
"Although the Great King said that the land will be requisitioned at will, he has not thought of where to choose.”
Shen Gongbao thought for a moment and suddenly said,"
"I think there's a good place. Previously, the Chao brothers had defected to Xi Qi, and their homes were empty.
Although it isn't as big as my mansion, there is quite a lot of empty space there. It's also close to Taiqing Temple, and Taiqing Temple is also empty.”
Florence thought for a moment and felt that it was feasible.
With that, he had a place to set up a school, but he had to rely on himself to develop the rest.
Florence would definitely not teach a group of children to study. His school was mainly to recruit talented people and poach talents from everywhere, combined with his understanding of his previous life.
He could probably earn a lot of merit points by guiding this era.
Merit points were for himself, and recruiting talents was also to strengthen himself.
So far, Florence had expressed that she did not have that ability.
The purpose of improving the people's livelihood was also to let them eat and drink well.
In the past few days, a large-scale construction project had been going on in the northwest corner of Zhaoge City.
Zhang Fang summoned all the craftsmen in Zhaoge and surrounded the Chao family's home, Taiqing Temple, and several pieces of idle land.
"Hey, what do you think this is? Why haven't I seen it before?”
"If you ask me, who should I ask?"
Feng Lin, Qin Yun, and the others gathered together. They looked at the two round and flat stone objects in front of them and pointed at them.
A thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl with an oval face and big eyes raised her hand and shouted,
"I know this. The general calls it a stone mill. It's used to grind tofu!”
Feng Lin and the others had blank looks on their faces. Clearly, they had never heard of this before.
Qing Yun asked,
"Yan Xi 'er, what's tofu?”
Hearing this, Yan Xi 'er was also confused. She had never heard of tofu before, but she remembered it after hearing the general recite it.
This girl was none other than the person who had been rejected by Florence a few days ago.
Florence asked Shen Gongpao to arrange a new job for the little girl.
Shen Gongpao told Florence to do what she wanted. She had already been given to him. Who knew if she had used it or not? There was no reason to return it. How could the little girl live?
Upon hearing this, Florence almost wanted to beat Shen Gongpao up. No one knew what it was used for. Wasn't this disgusting?
Helplessly, she let Yan Xi be her maid and serve tea.
The first thing Florence did was to make tofu. He had seen others do the process in his previous life.
He could probably do it by imitating the cat and drawing the tiger.
Probably no one would have thought that in this era, beans were used by the rich to feed their livestock, while the poor ate them as staple food.
The beans were boiled or stir-fried in a pot, which was three meals a day.
As for the upper-class nobles, they would not touch them. They would only eat rice.
They didn't even eat wheat. Only slaves ate wheat.
The method was to cook the wheat directly. It was difficult to swallow and difficult to digest after eating. This was the medical wheat. As for grinding noodles, no one knew what that was.
Therefore, as long as she did this well, Florence believed that she would definitely have merit points, but she did not know how much.
"The general is here."
"General Zhang!"
"General…"
Florence swaggered to the stone mill. Two servants behind her carried two buckets of soaked beans.
"Let's do it!"
Florence looked at the dumbfounded eyes of the surrounding people and did not explain.
Then, he instructed the two servants to start pushing the mill while he poured beans into the mill's eye with spoonful after spoonful.
Feng Lin and the others quietly watched this scene.
He watched as the milky white soy milk mixed with bean dregs flowed into a large wooden bucket at the bottom.
The few of them looked at each other, not knowing why they were doing this. Although beans were food for slaves, they were also food.
A craftsman at the side secretly said to the person next to him,
"Sigh, do you think the general will suffer retribution for being so wasteful?”
