Song Benhua was stunned by Ah Mi. After a while, he reacted and said, “No!”
Ah Mi persisted. “Why not?” He even had an innocent expression on his face, as though saying, ‘Didn’t you say you will be allocated a bigger house if there’s more people? .
Song Benhua took a deep breath and kept a safe distance from Ah Mi. He explained helplessly, “Only men and women from the Central Plains can become husband and wife and be a.s.signed to a big house.”
Ah Mi said matter-of-factly, “But I’m from the southern frontier. Moreover, shouldn’t you all be considered southern frontier people when you reach the southern frontier?”
Song Benhua was speechless. What he said made sense. He actually couldn’t refute it for a moment.
Ah Mi blinked. “Isn’t that right?”
His handsomeness was filled with a strong exotic attractiveness. When he used his charm on the person he liked, anyone was just prey in his death throes.
Song Benhua glanced away and avoided the topic. “It’s time to go back.”
Ah Mi did not expect him to accept it so quickly. After all, Song Benhua was so outstanding, so he definitely did not lack other admirers.
In any case, he was confident and patient. Song Benhua would definitely not be able to escape.
Ah Mi was determined to win over his heart. He hooked his arm around Song Benhua’s shoulder. “Sure. Can I share a tent with you tonight?”
Song Benhua shook off his hand. “No.”
Ah Mi pretended not to hear him and hooked his arm again. ‘Where’s your tent?’
Song Benhua broke free helplessly and took two quick steps. Ah Mi followed closely behind.
After Ah Mi’s tribe had moved over, they officially began digging the coal mine. However, the road was winding and it would take two days to travel back and forth.
Based on the map drawn by Song Benhua, Bai Wutong got someone to investigate on the spot and decided to build a cement road around the coastline first.
Firstly, it was more convenient to transport coal. Secondly, even if they did not take a boat along the coastline, they could still walk along the sea to collect food. Thirdly, they could form a stable travelling route.
The method of using cement was much simpler than using modern machinery. In ancient times, without machinery, one had to find limestone and clay to make cement. They had to stir it evenly and put it in the kiln to bake before grinding it into fine powder to obtain cement powder that could be used to build roads and houses.
The cement powder they used to build the house every day was already in high demand. If they wanted to build a road, they would have to allocate more manpower to make cement.
In any case, there was coal that could burn iron now. Bai Wutong simply found the mechanical blueprint for grinding cement from her s.p.a.ce. After studying it for a while, she finally understood the principle.
She found Zhao Yuan and built a machine that could make cement by burning coal to provide energy.
The machine looked strangely like gourd brothers being placed together.
However, as long as the raw materials were put in and the machine operated with a rumbling sound, a pile of fine and soft cement would quickly appear.
Everyone marveled at the convenience of the machine. Many blacksmiths asked Zhao Yuan how to operate the machine.
Zhao Yuan had been with Bai Wutong for so long and had learned a lot about mathematics, physics, and chemistry. Without these basic principles, even with Bai Wutong’s blueprint, he could not lead people to build a cement machine.
He patiently explained to everyone, but everyone’s foundational knowledge was too poor.
After listening to it, they only understood one sentence. Coal could be converted into energy to make the machine move.
However, they did not understand how to convert this energy at all.
Zhao Yuan could not help them understand, so he could only find Bai Wutong and explain the situation.
It was not that easy to mechanize. Bai Wutong gestured that she understood and asked Zhao Yuan to lead the blacksmiths for an internship first while she dug out the modern day 15-year compulsory education books. She felt that it was necessary for everyone to study hard.
Just as she thought this, Cui Lingyi came looking for her.
The girl’s school was enrolling. As the tuition fees were not expensive, all women of all ages had signed up.
Cui Lingyi wanted to divide the academy into two categories. One specialized in theoretical knowledge, and the other specialized in practical skills.
Bai Wutong was happy after hearing Cui Lingyi’s words.
Wasn’t this just advanced and ordinary high schools in modern times?
She agreed. “That’s good. Let everyone have their own choices so that they won’t waste time. ‘
The aunties definitely still wanted to learn some practical skills. If they divided the school into two major categories and added a basic cultural education to learn how to read, it would definitely be accepted by everyone.
Cui Lingyi smiled and said, “Many people want to go to the gla.s.s workshop.
They even asked me if they could be a.s.signed to work after learning the skill.”
When she said this, Bai Wutong finally understood Cui Lingyi’s intentions.
Cui Lingyi wanted Bai Wutong to arrange a good position for her female workers after they mastered the skills.
With a job and money, everyone would be motivated to learn. Bai Wutong smiled and said, “As long as everyone meets the standard to work, they will definitely be able to work.”
Gla.s.s production was cheap. Not only could the gla.s.s be supplied to the southern frontier, but it could also be sold to the Central Plains. The female students definitely did not have to worry about not having a job.
Apart from the gla.s.s workshop, there was also the canvas workshop, the food workshop…
Cui Lingyi’s eyes lit up. She probed again, “Then what about the other skills learnt?”
Bai Wutong smiled and said, “Actually, you should look for Lord Sheng.”
Sheng Huaixuan had already been appointed by Bai Wutong as the leader of the people’s livelihood and was in charge of the economic development of the entire Carefree City.
No matter what industry it was, they would have to communicate with him. She believed that Sheng Huaixuan would be able to manage very well.
Sheng Huaixuan was indeed very excited to be able to become the leader of the people of Carefree City. He could finally earn money openly and be respected by the commoners.
He wanted to get out of business. This was the day he had been waiting for.
Cui Lingyi wheezed, “Aren’t I just telling you first?”
After all, the two of them had a close relationship.
Bai Wutong smiled and said, “Now I know. Since you’re here, don’t be in a hurry to leave. I have something to tell you.”
Cui Lingyi sat down and listened.
In order to promote the development of talent, knowledge was the foundation of everything.
However, the knowledge of this world was still a little backward. The knowledge of modern primary school students could even surprise them. Bai Wutong said, “l want to add a few lectures to the academy.”
After learning mathematics, physics, and chemistry, one could travel the world.
If anyone asked, she would say that it was taught to her by an otherworldly expert back then and compiled through Yang Quanzi’s “Book of Hundred Industries”.
Cui Lingyi’s eyes lit up. “Sure! What’s it about?”
Her impatient expression made Bai Wutong laugh. Bai Wutong said, “1 need to organize some technical knowledge information first. In a few days, help me gather everyone and see if they can accept this level of content.”
Cui Lingyi held her hand. “Then you have to take care ofyour body!” Although she really wanted to know what Bai Wutong was going to write.
Bai Wutong had always insisted on exercising. For the sake of the child in her stomach, she was very disciplined in eating and resting. “Yes, I know.”
Fortunately, Bai Wutong had the s.p.a.ce and it was convenient to organize all kinds of information.
Unfortunately, she was just short of a computer and printer. Just sorting out the summaries had taken her a week.
When she was almost done summarizing the knowledge, she couldn’t be bothered to copy anymore, so she asked Cui Lingyi to call everyone over to copy it together. At the same time, she wanted to let them learn the content in advance and see everyone’s reaction..
