Not to mention, the small team led by Huo Guanjun is really full of talents.
It's not just Dakang who runs fast, but also Xiao Baozi, a little girl who has just turned ten.
The most outrageous thing is that Little Baozi is the ceiling of combat power among this group of people!
My father is a martial artist, and he started practicing martial arts when he was young. He is very good at playing with sticks.
When I was beating the second-rate kid just now, it was the little bun who beat him the hardest.
After understanding this, Chen Ze was determined to cultivate these children well.
And we must pay attention to the development of their specialties.
Now that you have this talent, you can't waste it.
Huo Guanjun has shown extraordinary leadership and charisma at a young age. Now he has a certain degree of strategic ability and must be cultivated as a general.
Dakang can develop in the direction of reconnaissance, while Xiaobaozi can continue to practice martial arts, lay a good foundation, and train well as a martial artist.
Chen Ze hasn't found anything particularly outstanding about the others, but they have tough characters. You can pay attention to them during the training process. Over time, they should also reveal their talents.
Anyway, in Chen Ze's opinion, there are no people in the world who can't be used, they just don't know how to use them.
But the problem is, Chen Ze can't teach these things.
If you want to train in a specialized direction, you need the guidance of professionals.
The first thing Chen Ze thought of was Uncle Liu. As the palace's top think tank and chief military advisor during the war, Uncle Liu would definitely be able to teach.
However, Uncle Liu might not have that spare time.
After thinking about it, it seems that this matter cannot be rushed.
There will definitely be more and more talents around me in the future, and it won’t be too late to teach them when the time comes.
The first priority now is to help these children read and write and lay a solid foundation.
By the way, it’s not like there are no books these days.
In addition to poems and songs, there are also ancient books related to military literature.
It was probably not available in the bookstore, but Chen Ze remembered that his palace study room seemed to have a lot of ancient books on the art of war.
Move here, move them all!
It would be best to have a library.
Just do it.
Chen Ze immediately sent someone back to the palace and sent all the books and bamboo scrolls in the study to the hotel.
Let these children learn officially starting today.
In addition, arrange for the singers who came from the Wu Mansion to teach reading. Of course, they can also participate in the learning together. It will be better for everyone to communicate and learn together.
When he gains strength later, Chen Ze will definitely set up a school in Qingzhou to improve compulsory education.
Literacy classes must also be arranged.
From now on, those who go out to Qingzhou must not be illiterate!
Knowledge changing destiny is no joke in Dachu. If you can read, you can become half a wife in the countryside.
Even setting up schools to improve literacy costs money, so letting people generate electricity for love is not a long-term solution.
Coming full circle, we come back to the issue of money.
Chen Ze was also puzzled. There was no movement at all at the sugar workshop!
It's been almost a week.
He also hoped that sugar would make the first pot of gold.
In order not to add any psychological burden to the sugar factory workers, Chen Ze didn't even go over to take a look at the situation.
Ordinarily, Chen Ze has already revealed his identity, so these workers wouldn't dare to be lazy, right?
After much thought, Chen Ze decided to go to the workshop to see what was going on.
Sure enough, we still need to inspect the work to see where the progress is.
Huo Guanjun and others went back to the hotel to study and learn calligraphy first, while Chen Ze took Li Yuankang to the sugar workshop.
When they arrived at the place, Chen Ze asked the spies to call the person in charge.
This sugar workshop definitely needs a leader. After everyone discussed it, they elected Brother Li Yaoshan to be the manager.
People in the sugar workshop have basically guessed that Chen Ze should be the prince. When Li Yaoshan saw Chen Ze, he knelt down and saluted. Chen Ze hurriedly said: "No need to be polite, Brother Li, what was our previous name?" No matter what the title is, just call me boss."
"Yes, yes, the little one knows."
"Well... forget it, you won't be able to change it for a while, just adapt slowly." Chen Ze stopped worrying about other people's names and asked, "Has there been any progress on the white sugar I mentioned?"
Li Yaoshan said hurriedly: "Master, please wait a moment, I will go get it now."
"okay."
Chen Ze blinked, a little confused.
After a while, Li Yaoshan came with several small cloth bags, put them aside respectfully, and said hurriedly: "Master, take a look."
Chen Ze took one of the bags, and when he opened it, he found that it was an irregular piece of candy. The color was yellowish, but it had begun to turn white. Chen Ze was quite surprised, so he quickly took out a small piece and tasted it. , his eyes suddenly lit up.
Although there is still some indescribable taste, it is already much sweeter than official sugar.
Immediately afterwards, Chen Ze hurriedly opened the other bags one by one, and was pleasantly surprised to find that the color of the candies was slowly turning white, and the last bag of almost snow-white icing sugar tasted of pure sweetness without any other odor!
"Here, isn't this already done?" Chen Ze said with surprise on his face: "Why didn't you say anything?"
Li Yaoshan hurriedly smiled bitterly: "My boss, we did it, but the problem is that too much raw material was consumed. Originally, one kilogram of raw materials could produce three ounces of sugar, but now one kilogram of raw materials can only produce three taels. One tael is enough to buy, especially this white frosting. Two kilograms of raw materials only come out of such a small bag. You must be doing business with this thing. Let's do the math. You have to sell this small bag of frosting for at least thirty taels. Only the money can return the original capital.”
"But the problem is, how can anyone pay thirty taels of silver for this small bag of frosting!"
"We are now thinking about several ways to see if we can make three ounces of this kind of frosting with one kilogram of raw materials. We think that if we can make it, it will be a bit expensive, but rich people should be able to buy it. Yes, we can make candies from the remaining ingredients, the kind you just saw, boss. Although they don’t look good, they are much sweeter than the candies we made before. Then we can grind them with water. It can also be sold for a lot of money."
When Chen Ze heard this, he couldn't help but slap the table and stand up.
Li Yaoshan was so frightened that he said, "My boss, my boss, you are too talkative."
"What are you talking about? Well said!" Chen Ze hurriedly said: "Yuankang, give me all the banknotes!"
Li Yuankang's mouth twitched. Seeing Chen Ze knowing that the banknotes in his pocket might not be safe, he hurriedly came to Chen Ze and took out the banknotes while whispering: "Master, please be patient, don't give them all out in one go." .”
"There's so much nonsense!"
Chen Ze directly grabbed a stack of silver notes in his hand: "Brother Li, call everyone to the yard. I will give you a big reward! I will give you the bank notes directly!"
