Surprise! I emptied the emperor's private treasury before exile

Chapter 272: None of them can read

So Chu Ci stopped wasting time and quickly finished the few dishes in his bowl. Then he said loudly, "Uncle Song, the carpenter, come over here!"

Upon hearing this, Song Qingnan immediately ran into the pavilion in small steps and said respectfully, "Carpenter Song Qingnan, I greet the princess."

Chu Ci did not bother with the name. With a kind smile on his face, he asked cordially, "I heard that this pavilion was built by you?"

"Yes, I was young and full of energy at that time, so I liked to think about things. Thanks to Zhang..." Song Qingnan habitually called the village head "Brother Zhang", but when he remembered Chu Ci's identity, he quickly changed his words, "The village head took me in and took the risk to find the best wood."

Song Qingnan bowed slightly, looking humble and very low-key, and attributed most of the credit to the head of the village.

Chu Ci could not deny this, he just raised his eyebrows slightly and continued: "So, as long as I can provide you with enough high-quality wood, it will be no problem to create other delicate and complicated things, right?"

Song Qingnan was mentally prepared, but he still looked cautious and asked carefully, "What does the princess want to build?"

Chu Ci smiled, his eyes full of expectation, and said: "Since this pavilion can be dismantled so skillfully, the house should be able to do the same!"

"I want you to help me build a unique wooden house. This wooden house should be able to be disassembled and assembled at any time according to my needs, so that it can be easily moved. I wonder if you are sure about it?"

Song Qingnan frowned and thought for a moment, then replied, "My Lady, if this wooden house is to be dismantled, it will be more difficult than the pavilion, but I am willing to give it a try. I just wonder if my Lady has any specific requirements for the size and style of this wooden house?"

Chu Ci nodded slightly and said, "As for the size, it should be big enough for four or five people to rest. The style doesn't need to be overly gorgeous, simple and comfortable is better. The roof should preferably be a peak to keep out the rain. The windows should be larger so that the light can enter."

Song Qingnan nodded as he listened, and said, "My Lady, I understand. Do you want to use ordinary materials for the wooden house, or something better?"

Chu Ci thought for a moment and replied, "Any ordinary wood will do. I will prepare the required amount and send it to you. Also, how long do you think it will take to build a wooden house like this?"

Song Qingnan estimated and said, "My Lady Princess, if I do it alone, even if everything goes well, it will probably take about two years. If we can recruit some helpers, it should be faster."

"Two years?" Chu Ci couldn't help but exclaim. She had originally planned to bring this special talent to the Royal Girls' College.

After thinking for a moment, Chu Ci said seriously, "Uncle Song, you can recruit as many people as you want. In this way, how long will it take to complete the work at the earliest?"

Song Qingnan carefully estimated it again in his mind, and then said firmly: "It will take at least two to three months at the earliest. After all, the construction of this wooden house requires many processes, and the quality must be guaranteed."

This time is within the acceptable range for me.

Chu Ci nodded and said gently, "Okay, then I'll have to trouble Uncle Song. As for wages, don't worry, I will not treat you unfairly. As long as the wooden house is well built, the wages will only be more, not less."

Song Qingnan hurriedly bowed, "Thank you, Princess. I will make it with all my heart and live up to your expectations."

Then he said with great fear and trepidation: "It's just...it's just, can the village head help me with the job of recruiting people?"

"I usually only focus on my carpentry skills and am not very good at recruiting people. I am afraid that I will delay the princess's important event."

Chu Ci heard this and stared at Song Qingnan for a long time before he slowly said, "Okay."

At this time, Song Qingnan keenly noticed that Chu Ci was not in a good mood, and he suddenly became nervous, with beads of sweat even appearing on his forehead. He immediately stammered, "Then, then I'll take my leave."

"Go down." Chu Ci was already used to people's imaginations, and nodded calmly.

After receiving Chu Ci's response, Song Qingnan felt as if he had been pardoned. He immediately turned around and left in a hurry, as if something terrible was chasing him.

Chu Ci is speechless.

But she didn't worry about these little things.

You can't just raise pigs casually.

Although this village is located in the suburbs of Beijing, it is surrounded by other villages and many other villages.

Therefore, the terrain, water sources, wind direction and other aspects all need to be carefully and well planned.

The terrain should be as flat and open as possible to facilitate the construction of pig houses and daily management; the water source must be clean and sufficient to meet the drinking and cleaning needs of pigs;

The wind direction should be conducive to ventilation to avoid the accumulation of odors and germs.

More importantly, pigs are not very good at preventing diseases, so you need to be informed and planned for all kinds of diseases that you may encounter during pig farming. For example, if common swine fever, blue ear disease, swine flu, etc. break out, the consequences will be disastrous.

Breeders should be informed of the symptoms of these diseases in advance. For example, swine fever can cause high fever, vomiting, diarrhea, etc. in pigs; blue ear disease can cause breathing difficulties and reproductive disorders in pigs.

A detailed epidemic prevention plan must also be formulated, including regular vaccination, disinfection of pig pens, and control of outside personnel and vehicles, in order to minimize the risk of epidemics.

Fortunately, this has been done before in Lianzhou, and all the processes are ready.

Even so, Chu Ci and his team's progress was not smooth.

There was no other reason. Even in the imperial farm, except for the head of the farm and his three sons, no one else could read.

Chu Ci sighed helplessly, his expression full of annoyance, "It seems that we have to hold the literacy class again?"

Unlike Chu Ci's frustration, Qianxue and Qianyan were eager to try and said excitedly: "Sister-in-law, there are many more scholars in the capital than in Lianzhou!"

"We will definitely find a better teacher this time, and maybe we can all learn faster and better!"

At this moment, Fan Jingrui had to pour a bucket of cold water on his two sisters who were full of expectations.

He looked serious and said slowly: "There are indeed many scholars in the capital, but they are more tightly bound by various rules and regulations."

"The red tape and old rules make it difficult for them to think outside the established framework, so they may not be willing to come here to teach everyone to read."

Qianxue and Qianyan were slightly stunned when they heard this, and the excitement on their faces froze instantly. How could they forget that this is the capital city!

However, Qianxue and Qianyan's minds are much more active now after their experiences.

Qianxue said first: "If a scholar can't make it, a poor businessman, an accountant who doesn't care about his reputation can at least make it!"

Qian Yan also nodded and agreed: "Yes, yes, these people might be more suitable!"
