Chapter 148 I’ll take care of it

It is not difficult to build a Yushan Hall. Many houses were left vacant during the Xiping War. Find a few spacious houses and make some minor changes to build a Yushan Hall.

Fu Tinghan had done statistical work before, and it was clear who the orphans were. He even thought about the person who would take care of the children, Zhao Hanzhang. Let the older ones take care of the younger ones, which can completely reduce the cost of manpower.

The county government only needs to assign two more people to manage it.

The difficult thing is the school.

There are no teachers. In fact, the teachers are still simple. Zhao Hanzhang, Fu Tinghan, and other literate officials in the county government can temporarily teach, so it is not very difficult.

Anyway, they are raised extensively, as long as they can read and count.

The difficulty is that there are no books, paper or ink.

As soon as they returned to the county government office, before Zhao Hanzhang had time to announce his great decision, Geng Rong and Song Zhi bowed down and reported: "Girl, there is no paper in the county government office."

Zhao Hanzhang said casually: "If you don't have any, just buy it. Are you out of money? Do you want to raise funds again?"

Song Zhi: "...it's not about money, it's about the bookstore in the county being burned down. Now we can't buy paper even if we have money."

Geng Rong said: "And paper is valuable. Mr. Fu Dalang used a huge amount of paper in the past. In the past few days, the county government's paper consumption has accounted for two-thirds of previous years."

Fu Tinghan was surprised, "You usually use so little paper? How do you record and deliver official household registration documents?"

How did Song Zhi know?

Geng Rong knew something about it because his father was the chief registrar. He said: "Household registration is usually revised every three years. Other matters can be passed down by word of mouth to the officials and government officials who go to the countryside."

It is too slow to transmit information in this way, and it will consume a lot of manpower.

Zhao Hanzhang asked, "Is paper more expensive than labor?"

Song Zhi felt that her question was comparable to Emperor Hui's "Why don't you eat minced meat?" He said: "Of course, paper is so expensive, how can it be compared to human power?"

Zhao Hanzhang turned to look at Fu Tinghan, "Then we still have to make paper?"

Fu Tinghan tried hard to recall how to make paper. There is no formula for this and he has never learned it, but in the era of information explosion, he also has some understanding.

Zhao Hanzhang smiled at him, feeling proud, "I know how to make it."

It's not that she was curious to study it, but when she was a music teacher, because she had exchange students, the school sometimes asked her to take her students to visit paper craftsmen in order to promote the country's traditional culture.

Although she couldn't see, she could hear and her touch was very sensitive. At that time, she had touched every change in the paper's formation process.

Song Zhi and Geng Rong looked at Zhao Hanzhang blankly, "Can the girl make paper?"

Zhao Hanzhang did not shy away, and nodded reservedly: "I know a little bit, but this cannot be made overnight. Since we don't have the paper, buy it. If we don't have it in Xiping, how can we still have it without Shangcai?"

She said: "There is still news. We have sent people to these nearby places to buy it." Thinking of the amount of paper they consumed during this period, she said: "Buy more."

If she couldn't get anything else out for Professor Fu, how could she still wrong him on paper?

What annoys her most when doing math problems is that there is not enough scratch paper.

Zhao Hanzhang returned to the study and began to make a plan, listing what they had to do, and found that they had so many things to do.

Zhao Hanzhang held his pen and began to think deeply. Fu Tinghan came over to take a look, turned around and left.

Zhao Hanzhang came to his senses and hurriedly called him, "Tinghan, do you think we need a county magistrate and a chief registrar who can take charge of things?"

Although she had set up a county magistrate and a chief registrar, she suddenly discovered that neither of them worked in the county government office.

Forget it about Ji Yuan, he is running to buy a horse, and Shang Cai also needs him to keep an eye on him. It is understandable that he can't do without it for the time being, but Zhao Ming...

Zhao Hanzhang's heart for employing people was igniting, "You said I paid close attention to Uncle Maolu Ming, would he..."

"No," Fu Tinghan said: "After careful consideration, I was locked outside the Wubao and couldn't get in."

When Zhao Hanzhang heard this, he suppressed his thoughts and said, "Forget it, the territory is still small now, let's talk about it when it gets bigger."

Zhao Hanzhang thought for a while and then said: "Yushantang asked Chen Siniang to give it a try. She is a woman, and the children should be less wary; the school... I have to think about who to hand it over to."

Fu Tinghan said: "Leave it to me."

"Huh?" Zhao Hanzhang turned to look at him.

Fu Tinghan said: "Education is the most important. Since you want to use them in the future, you must cultivate their loyalty and cognitive inertia of things from now on. Otherwise, if they learn badly, they may stand up in the future. On the side that’s against you.”

Both Fu Tinghan and Zhao Hanzhang knew that she could be the master of Xiping County now. Firstly, because Xiping County had just experienced a disaster, and Zhao Hanzhang was the one who saved Xiping County; secondly, she had soldiers; thirdly, because there was no one at the moment. Someone appears who can compete with her for Xiping County.

But what about the future when Xiping County is on the right track and even getting bigger and bigger?

At that time, her shortcomings will be magnified, for example, she is a woman, for example, she does not have an official status.

Therefore, they do not use people for everyone. They have been focusing on selecting and training their own people in order to prevent such a situation in the future.

But how can the people they select compare to the people they have trained since childhood?

Their thoughts and cognitions are almost a blank sheet of paper that can be painted by them.

Thinking of this, Fu Tinghan became more determined, "Leave the school to me. You can leave the county government affairs to Geng Rong and Song Zhi."

Zhao Hanzhang knew what he was doing, and the next day he called all the people in the county government to announce that Song Zhi would be appointed as deputy to the county magistrate, temporarily taking over the post of county magistrate, and Geng Rong would be deputy to the chief bookkeeper, temporarily taking over the post of chief bookkeeper. From now on, Listen to Fu Tinghan on all matters in the county, and listen to her when she and Fu Tinghan have conflicting opinions.

Everyone: "...

They turned to look at Fu Tinghan silently.

Then Fu Tinghan cupped his hands and said, "Yes."

Everyone could only agree, but they had a better understanding of Zhao Hanzhang's power.

After explaining things one by one, Zhao Hanzhang patrolled everywhere every day to confirm that everything was being completed in an orderly manner, and then went to sit with various families in Xiping County and buy some food from them.

Food is still quite easy to buy at this time.

Compared with gold, silver and jewelry, food was much cheaper. Therefore, the rebels at that time mostly went for gold and silver treasures. They also moved some food, so most of the grain depots of each family were preserved.

The summer harvest was over, and now every family was not short of food, but just short of money. After all, all the families who seemed to be wealthy at that time were robbed.

Most of the gold and silver fell into Zhao Hanzhang's hands as trophies.

After Zhao Hanzhang paid for the soldiers killed and injured in the battle, she took some to reward everyone, and the rest was in her pocket.

Now the gold and silver have gone around in circles and returned to the hands of those masters, only at the cost of bags of food.

Zhao Ju took people to each house and brought out bags after bags of grain and transported them back to the grain depot. When people in the county saw so much grain, they were all refreshed and became more energetic at work.

Try to go earlier tomorrow and try to adjust your schedule. Last night I felt my heart beating in my chest, as if it was going out of rhythm. Brothers and sisters, you should also go to bed early.
