The craftsman with skills did not have a high status in the social environment at that time, and Lao Sun Tou, as a person who came over, was deeply aware of it.

Craftsmen from all walks of life like him, the inheritance of their skills is also taught by word of mouth between masters and disciples, and it is not rare to open a school like the study of a sage, but it has never been opened.

Teaching sage articles, you can open a academy, in this era everyone sounds like a matter of course, the imperial court will allocate funds, and merchants will also donate.

But if you want to open a school and teach craftsman skills such as cooking instead of this, you will definitely not be recognized, and you will even be considered unprofessional.

There is a saying that "education is the foundation of a country", but such words sound unconvincing to the ears of people like Yang Huairen and Lao Sun Tou.

Is it true that teaching the writings of the saints is education, and teaching craftsmanship is not education? Vocational education is also education.

Moreover, in Yang Huairen's view, in the historical environment of the Great Song Dynasty, vocational education can cultivate talents who are more useful to today's society than the so-called orthodox education.

This is a beautiful idea, but it is really difficult to take the first step. If it weren't for his current status and financial resources, I am afraid that the dream of building a comprehensive university would have been just a flash in the pan.

The old grandson didn't know this, and he didn't believe that anyone was willing to spend tens of thousands of yuan of family wealth to do a thankless job.

But the old gentleman said that it covers an area of 300 acres, and the construction is larger than the two highest and largest universities in the Great Song Dynasty, Guozijian and Taixue, which made him feel that the old gentleman was joking with him.

"Old brother, but is he from the Gongzhuangzi of Tongyuan County in the southwest of the city?"

Yang Huairen nodded.

"The elder brother is sure that the Tongyuan County Duke wants to build a college covering an area of 300 acres to teach cooks? This is no small matter. ”

Yang Huairen nodded again, and said with a smile, "This is just a preliminary scale, in Yang Jungong's plan, in the early stage, it must be based on teaching chef cooking skills, and in the future, the crafts and skills of all walks of life may be specially set up and taught." ”

Lao Sun Tou was shocked again, it seems that the county prince surnamed Yang has a big appetite, he is a chef, and it is already a bit deviant to build a college that teaches cooking, if his dream is really that big, it is really a great thing, maybe it may change the status of craftsmen in the whole society in the future.

Yang Huairen saw that he was stunned and didn't speak, and then said, "If the college opens up the discipline of construction in the future, an experienced mason like Brother Sun may be invited to be a gentleman." ”

Can I be a gentleman too? The old grandson was surprised and delighted, and he couldn't imagine that he would have the opportunity to be a teacher in his life.

In the construction industry, the skill is not like the martial arts of the various sects is the secret of the family, for the old grandson, his ability is afraid that the descendants are not willing to inherit it.

In addition to his children and grandchildren and relatives, most of the craftsmen under his command worshipped him as a teacher to make a living, but anyone with some other skills would not be craftsmen with low social status.

Of course, he is willing to teach more people to pass on his craft.

Yang Huairen also knew that maybe Lao Sun Tou's cultural level was not high, and he had some knowledge and theories, which might not be very good at expressing them in writing.

But with his many years of experience, there is absolutely no problem in teaching students to become a qualified mason, which is why he said so.

Lao Sun Tou was still a little skeptical, after all, this matter sounded a bit unbelievable. Yang Huairen saw that he was still suspicious, so he directly threw out a bigger bait.

"If you can bring more skilled craftsmen to join the construction of this academy, I can guarantee the ticket here, and the salary will be doubled, and there will be no delay."

He believed this, and Yang Huairen's reputation as a loser and a stunned son was well known to everyone in the city.

The Yang family Zhuangzi is now quite famous in the city, the county prince built a new house, and several workshops in the Zhuangzi are thriving.

In addition to the meager income from farming, the villagers in Zhuangzi can also work in these workshops and build houses for the county princess, all of which are well paid, and they have never heard of Yang Daguan's arrears of wages to anyone.

"Just ......"

Lao Sun Tou originally wanted to say that it would take three or five days to gather his team of craftsmen, because they had all taken some casual jobs in various places inside and outside Tokyo, and they had to finish doing it for others before they could go to Yangjia Zhuangzi to help the county government build the academy.

Yang Huairen didn't care about this, thinking that the old grandson had other conditions. What he thought was that an old craftsman with skills like this must have his own personality, and if he mentioned some special conditions, he would try to meet them.

And instead of waiting for others to mention it, it is better to take the initiative yourself, and it is more sincere.

"No need to be just, Brother Sun likes to drink tea, right?"

After that, he beckoned Dr. Tea over and asked, "May I ask which is the most expensive and best tea in your store?" ”

Dr. Tea was a little stunned by his mindless question, but after thinking about it, he came up with the names of some of the best teas available in their shop.

"If you want to say the best, tea is naturally a person with a person's taste, and everyone has different preferences......"

"What about the most expensive?"

Yang Huairen thinks he is verbose, who talks to you about tea?

"If it is the most expensive, the existing ones in our store are Huanglong's Shuangjing Baiya and Yuanzhou Jinguanyin, all of which are expensive teas."

"What's the price?"

"A pot ......"

"I don't care if I buy a pot, I buy a cake, how much does a cake cost?"

"Uh......"

Dr. Tea was always interrupted by him, and his thoughts were also interrupted, and he slowly couldn't keep up with Yang Huairen's rhythm, so he could only slowly mumble and calculate.

"Huang Long's Shuangjing White Buds, a pot of 400 yuan, a cake can cook 50 pots, that is 20 yuan...... Yuanzhou's Jin Guanyin tea, a pot of 500 Wen, a cake can cook 40 pots, the same is 20 yuan a cake. ”

At that time, the size and weight of tea cakes made by tea roasting in different tea-producing places were not uniform.

Yang Huairen didn't care about these either, and directly ordered, "Wrap up this Shuangjing Baiya and Yuanzhou Tieguanyin in your store for me and send them to Mr. Sun's house." ”

Dr. Tea was stunned, he had never seen a tea customer buy tea like this, and said in a daze, "This kind of expensive tea, there is not much stock in the store, it seems that there are only five cakes of the two together." ”

"I don't care how many loaves you have, it's all on it."

With that, he took out a piece of golden melon from his bosom and gently placed it on the table. Yang Huairen smiled in his heart, buddies are also capable people and have character!
