"Everyone, hurry up. We have to dig the ditch before dark.”
A series of childish voices rang out in the valley. Several children dressed in hemp clothes were carrying small hoes in their hands as they dug ditches in the valley. Although sweat kept dripping down their heads, their faces were filled with excited smiles.
No matter how hard it was, when they thought about building an academy that belonged to them, all the children were enthusiastic and their hands did not stop moving.
Qin Qi stood behind a big tree with his hands behind his back. He smiled as he looked at the busy children. He sighed inwardly. These were the future pillars of the Great Tang!
It was far too difficult to change the Great Tang on his own. Only by nurturing these children would he be able to realize his dream of building the Great Tang into the most powerful nation in the world.
Qin Qi didn't disturb the children who were working. He kept walking with his hands behind his back until he reached the door of a small wooden house. He finally stopped.
In the small wooden house, Da Bao was holding a short copper wire in his hand. He was so anxious that he was sweating profusely.
"It's over. We have to lay the wires today. There's not enough copper wire now.”
A child standing beside him frowned and said,"Why don't we go out and buy some copper? It should still be possible to press it into copper wire when we come back.”
"Sell?"
Da Niu touched his empty pockets and said with a bitter smile,"We don't even have a single copper coin on us. We can't even afford a copper mine, let alone a copper block.”
"Sigh…"
All the children present lowered their heads. At the thought that the construction progress of the academy had been delayed because of them, the children were a little depressed.
"If you don't have money, then go earn money!"
Qin Qi suddenly pushed open the door and walked in. He looked at the children and said in a deep voice,"When you encounter difficulties, the first thing you should think about is not to complain about yourself here, but to think of a way to solve the difficulties.”
He pointed in the direction of the Great Liang Village and said,"Students, I've already given you the solution to the problem. What you need to do now is to put it into practice!”
With that, he turned around and walked out of the wooden house.
The children were stunned. Da Niu's eyes suddenly lit up and he shrieked,""I know!"
"I know how to make money!"
The other children were shocked and turned to look at Da Bao at the same time.
Da Bao grabbed the child's shoulder excitedly. His face was flushed with excitement."Selling salt!"
"We can sell salt!"
"As long as we sell the salt, do we have to worry about money?”
A child standing beside Da Niu hesitated and said,""But, Big Brother Dabao, we don't have a single copper coin on us. Where will we get the money to buy salt mines?"
"Stupid!"
Da Bao slapped the child's head and said excitedly,""Our salt is so good, why worry about no one buying it?”
"As long as we bring the sample to those people and let them get used to it, they will definitely not be able to eat any other salt.”
"We'll get them to pay a deposit later…"
The more Da Bao spoke, the more excited he became. He danced around the room and said,"With the deposit, we can buy ores, refine salt, sell it, and then buy ores!”
"Future."
"This is the futures that teacher was talking about!”
The other children stared at Da Bao, who was dancing excitedly like a madman.
"Future."
Suddenly, a child screamed and jumped up in the heat."I understand now!"
He grabbed Da Bao's shoulder excitedly and said,"Brother Dabao, let's go sell salt now!”
"Don't be anxious!"
"We can't sell salt. We have to find someone to help." Da Bao suppressed his excitement and said.”
"Quick, follow me!"
.......
Outside the wooden house, Qin Qi quietly listened to the movements in the house. He nodded in satisfaction and a smile appeared on his face.
These children were very smart. What they needed now was not a long education, but a key point of guidance.
Seeing that the academy's construction was already on the right track, Qin Qi's hanging heart finally relaxed and he slowly walked towards the direction of the Great Liang Village.
There would no longer be any major problems with the construction of the academy. He could now consider other things. If the historical records were correct, a huge locust plague was about to arrive. It was time for him to make preparations.
