At this moment, Wang Jie actually had an extremely absurd feeling.
How did this feeling of the world being one with each other appear under the hands of He Shen, this extremely greedy man?
Absolutely preposterous!
However, Wang Jie was getting more and more curious about Liu Hao.
What kind of person was Liu Hao? Why was Liu Hao able to create such a miracle? He was certain that the amount of filial piety Liu Hao gave He Shen every month was definitely not a small number.
This was the most terrifying part. Liu Hao could still offer offerings to He Shen and absorb refugees.
This…
Wang Jie didn't know what to say.
Everyone was listening very seriously. Reading and learning to read seemed to be their primary goal. In Wang Jie's opinion, the teaching method was very shallow.
However, everyone who was listening was very serious.
Zhang Ting had a simple chat with Wang Jie. Wang Jie knew that Liu Hao's demand for scholars was too great.
Liu Hao had signed a seven-month contract with some of the imperial palaces and large families in the capital. He was illiterate and could not do anything. With the expansion of the industry, there was an even greater need for scholars. Without scholars, how could they settle accounts? And the contract, written in black and white. Who knew if there were any traps in it? How could they be at ease if they did not let people who were good at reading and writing read it carefully?
The most important thing was to do the accounts.
He needed to calculate carefully and make a budget. Then, he needed to calculate the daily expenses and the subsequent budget.
After the night class,
Zhang Ting recognized another 30 words. These words had to be remembered.
Wang Jie couldn't help but laugh and said,""Brother Zhang, this night school is quite interesting!”
Zhang Ting rubbed his head in embarrassment and said with a smile,"No, no, I only know a few words now. In the future, Lord Liu said that we should learn idioms and how to calculate. The more literate we are, the better!”
The more, the better!
Wang Jie sighed. At this moment, someone suddenly came to Zhang Ting's side."Zhang Ting, what are you still standing there for? Lord Liu is here, hurry over!”
Zhang Ting immediately nodded." Brother Wang, I think you should come with me. Lord Liu likes you scholars very much now!"“
Wang Jie nodded. I also want to see this Lord Liu!”
……
Liu Hao took a deep breath. Then, the group of people came to the temporary meeting room.
Although Liu Hao was only a Hanlin Xiuzhuan of the Hanlin Academy, his power was extremely high in Tong County. He had to worry about all the big and small matters.
Wang Jie entered the room and subconsciously dodged.
He had seen Liu Hao before. He was the top scorer of the gold examination. However, Liu Hao really did not know Wang Jie. There were so many civil and military officials. It was impossible for Liu Hao to know all of them.
"And this is?" Liu Hao's gaze fell on Wang Jie.
"Lord Liu, this is a scholar who came to escape from famine. He just came today. His name is Wang Wei!”Zhang Ting pointed at Wang Jie and introduced him.
"Wang Wei?" Liu Hao's gaze fell on Wang Jie. He really didn't recognize him. He didn't expect that a second-grade official of the imperial court would come to his place. He casually asked,"Do you have any achievements on you?"
Wang Jie was stunned for a moment before he sighed and said,""I started studying when I was six years old.”
"Tong Sheng? He started studying at the age of six and was still a child in his thirties. Could it be that his brain was damaged by studying?”Liu Hao said subconsciously.
Now, Liu Hao would not underestimate the wisdom of the ancients. Anyone who could stand out in the science bureau was a talent.
Although the eight-part essay restricted one's thoughts, those who could kill their way out of the eight-part essay were definitely not bookworms. On the contrary, those who could not pass the exam were the ones who had really studied until they were stupid.
Wang Jie was speechless.
……
However, Liu Hao's attention was obviously not on Wang Jie. He looked at Zhang Ting and said,""I'm here for a meeting!"
There were more than 20 people in the meeting.
Basically, they were all selected by Liu Hao.
There were also some who were scholars, and there were also some who were very quick-witted and willing to make progress, such as Zhang Ting.
"Everyone, not long ago, I spoke to Lord He!”
Liu Hao slowly said,"Our chickens and ducks can be transported to Jiangnan and Qilu to be sold!"”
"Our duck and chicken need to be marinated. As long as we can guarantee an advantage in terms of price, we can still make a profit!”Liu Hao's gaze swept across the crowd and landed on a man."Qin Jiang, I'll leave this matter to you. In a month's time, investigate clearly how many people in Qilu and Jiangnan can afford our chickens and ducks!”
"Understood!" Qin Jiang immediately nodded.
Liu Hao's gaze turned and landed on Zhang Ting.""Zhang Ting, how many people are there in Tong County now?”
"Lord Liu, our current population is about 2,36,732 people.”Zhang Ting paused for a moment when he said this. After which, he slowly opened his mouth and said,"Some of the other farmers in Tong County also want to come here. Lord Liu, do you think we should take over?”
The people of Tong County naturally knew what Liu Hao was doing.
They had good food, good drinks, work, and could even earn money to marry a wife. Naturally, they were extremely happy.
"Not for now!"
Liu Hao shook his head slightly. After which, he slowly opened his mouth and said,"In case there's any trouble, we'll have to stop after taking in this batch of refugees. Without the emperor's decree, we shouldn't act rashly!!”
Living in this era, Liu Hao had to be careful.
Wang Jie couldn't help but take another look at Liu Hao. He had to admit that Liu Hao was really suited to be in the officialdom. He would only do things on the spot and definitely wouldn't come too often.
"Also, we have to build more houses. I've already told you, the refugees are starving and have no clothes to cover their bodies. If this gets out, it will be a disgrace to our Lord Long Live, Chang Cheng!”
Liu Hao looked at another man and said,""Get the people under you to move and renovate the house. Find some work for them, understand?”
Understood…
Chang Cheng nodded.
Wang Jie observed carefully and realized that Liu Hao was swift and decisive. The tasks he assigned were also commendable. Most importantly, he didn't waste any time.
After he was done, Liu Hao comfortably stretched his body and said,""All of you, work hard. Remember, the reason why you can get to where you are today is because of Lord Wansui's declaration that he cares about the lives of the world.”
Our Lord He is wise!
