Ang Lee had always doted on the two maids, Yun 'er and Jiaren. If it weren't for the fact that they were Xinluo maids, he would have taken them into his room long ago. However, their relationship was very close now, so it didn't matter whether he took them into his room or not.
Ang Lee didn't care much about status, but in the Tang dynasty, status was very important. It was not common to take concubines as maids, especially foreign women with lower status and status. They were not qualified to be taken as concubines. Otherwise, they would be laughed at by others, so it was better not to do it.
However, it was one thing to refuse to take concubines, but it had long become a trend to favor young and beautiful foreign women, and it had become the talk of the aristocrats after tea.
Huji in his arms was such a beautiful feeling. Except for a few henpecked aristocrats, most of them kept young and beautiful women for their own enjoyment. The beautiful Huji in the brothel was even more popular, so that customers were willing to spend a lot of money just to see Huji's beautiful face.
Of course, Ang Lee was no exception. After buying the four beautiful Xinluo maids, he quickly doted on two of them. The remaining two couldn't escape. Sooner or later, they would be his prey. This was a trend in the Tang dynasty, and everyone was the same.
At this time, the relationship between Yun 'er, Jiaren, and Ang Lee was more like the big-breasted secretaries of later generations. When there was something to do, let the two work. When Ang Lee was free, he would dote on the two from time to time to show his love for them. It was the standard happy life of a secretary when there was something to do, and a secretary when there was nothing to do.
"Alang, we've all written it."
Yun 'er took Jiaren to Ang Lee's side and put the written wax paper in front of Ang Lee.
Ang Lee smiled and picked up the wax paper to check it carefully. Seeing that Yun 'er and Jiaren had done very well, there was no mistake at all, which made Ang Lee very gratified.
"Very good, you did a good job. After looking at it for a long time, you can't see any mistakes. Amazing!"
Ang Lee praised.
For the employees who did a good job, it was natural to praise them, or how to motivate them to do better work. Ang Lee knew this well and knew how to boost morale.
"Alang, since we did a good job, how will you reward us?"
Yun 'er asked cheekily.
This was like the secretary of later generations. If the boss said that they did a good job, the secretary would take the opportunity to ask for a raise, which would make the boss very embarrassed.
However, Ang Lee didn't feel embarrassed, because Ang Lee was a very rich and generous boss. so it was not difficult for Ang Lee...
"You want a reward? Yes, you should be rewarded well. Tell me, what kind of reward do you want?"
Li An asked.
Instead of randomly rewarding them, it was better to let them choose for themselves. This way, the effect would be the best. In later generations, many bosses would reward five million at once. However, it was not cash, but a two-yuan lottery ticket. If the number given to the employee won the lottery, the employee would naturally receive five million benefits.
However, this kind of benefit made all the employees hate it, because even a fool knew how low the probability of winning the lottery was. Moreover, this was under a very fair premise.
In the future, where technology was so advanced that it made people's hair stand on end, it was simply too easy to control the winning numbers of the lottery. Such a task could be completed easily. Every time the lottery was opened, either there was no big prize, or if there was, it would definitely be a few hundred times the winning number. The prize pool would be emptied in an instant, thus fulfilling the needs of some people.
This kind of scam could be understood as long as one was not a fool, but some people believed it. They would rather save money to go to the lottery. He really didn't know what was in the minds of these people. They could believe anything but the big prize!
However, there were always some fools who wanted to get rich overnight. With this kind of feeling of getting rich overnight, they used their hard-earned money to buy lottery tickets. They bought lottery tickets every day for decades, but they never won the big prize, dragging their own lives down.
In this era of the Tang dynasty, there were no lottery activities, and materials were relatively scarce. However, Ang Lee couldn't guess what Yun 'er and Jiaren wanted.
"Alang, why don't you give us a holiday? We want to take a break. "
Yun 'er made a bold request.
Ang Lee thought about it carefully. These two girls were really too tired. They served him dutifully every day and almost never rested. Although this was their duty, it was really very hard.
"You two are really too tired. Well, I'll give you three days off. You don't have to do anything, okay?"
Ang Lee said very generously.
"Oh, that's great. Thank you, Alang."
The two were overjoyed. They could finally take a break and play well. How could they not be happy?
The construction of the Tanar School was so fast that Ang Lee was very satisfied. In less than half a month, the basic construction of the school was almost completed, leaving only the final finishing work.
The source of students had long been determined. The construction of the school was almost done. The teaching materials were also fully prepared. In this way, the school could start soon.
After the roof of the teaching house was capped, Ang Lee went to see it in person and felt very satisfied. The house built with the advanced technology of the Tang dynasty was very strong, much stronger than many famous local buildings. It could be called the strongest house in the Lion Kingdom. No, the local area was already the territory of the Tang dynasty, not the land of the Lion Kingdom. In this way, this statement was wrong again.
The windows of the school were still empty and there was no glass installed. In windy weather, the classroom would be in chaos. Because Ang Lee didn't bring large thick glass, the windows of the school could only use wooden lattice windows. Small pieces of glass were inlaid in the partitions, which looked quite beautiful.
In addition, the windows also had the role of blocking the cold air. Unfortunately, in this tropical area, there was no cold air that made people shiver. The environment here was always warm and pleasant. The role of the glass was only to block the wind. In the tropics, windy weather was still very common.
It wouldn't take too long to install the glass in the classroom. If there was enough manpower, it could all be installed in a day.
In addition, there must be tables, chairs, and blackboards in the classroom, which were necessary for teaching. Ang Lee had already asked people to build the tables and chairs, and they could be transported to the school soon. As for the blackboards, the technical difficulty was even lower. Only the walls needed to be smoothed with cement and then painted with a layer of black paint.
The blackboard eraser could be used with a rag. Of course, in order to be useful, it was still necessary to order a special cotton blackboard eraser. It would be more convenient when using it.
Chalk was also indispensable. It was very easy to use the gypsum produced on the other side of the strait to make it into a finger-sized cylinder.
With these equipment, a complete set of teaching materials was basically ready, and they could happily complete the teaching task.
Because Ang Lee had already made the overall arrangement, there was no slack at all. All kinds of auxiliary equipment were prepared in different places and were being transported in an endless stream.
"Assistant Minister Li, it will take at most two hours for all the windows to be installed. More than 300 sets of chairs should be on the way if there are no accidents. There are also chalk, blackboard erasers, and brooms in the last room. "
His subordinate reported.
Ang Lee was very satisfied and praised, "Good, you did a good job. In this way, the children can come here tomorrow to familiarize themselves with the environment, and they can start classes the day after tomorrow. Now, the teacher is ready, but the school still needs a lot of staff, such as cleaners, cooks, gatekeepers, and guards. These people are needed. In addition, there needs to be someone on duty at night to prevent people from entering the school to steal things."
Although there was nothing valuable in the school, and in Ang Lee's view, it was not worth stealing, the local level of wealth was too low. The people were much poorer than the people of the Tang dynasty. Even if the things were worthless, some people would be interested in them. For example, the glass of the classroom windows was more valuable in the eyes of the locals. If some of the windows could be removed and sold, it would definitely be worth a lot of money.
The tables and chairs were custom-made. Except for the school, there was no such thing outside, so there was no need to worry at all. No one dared to steal the tables and chairs. Otherwise, it would be quickly found out.
There must be some food reserves in the cafeteria, which was a disaster area for thieves. If no one was watching, it would definitely be stolen.
In short, there were still some things worth stealing in the school. In the case where there were more poor people, there must be someone to watch.
The wall of the school was still relatively high, and there were caltrops and broken glass on it. It was difficult for ordinary people to climb over, but this was not a problem for thieves.
In Ang Lee's memory, when he was a child in his previous life, the village school he went to had this kind of structure. There were a lot of broken glass on the top of the school wall, and there were a lot of spikes on the top of the big iron gate. It was reasonable to say that as long as the gate was locked, no one would be able to enter!
But the result was not so. There were often burglaries in the school, and it was unknown how the thieves got in. In short, even if they succeeded in getting in, they also succeeded in getting out. The big iron gate and the school wall were not damaged at all. Could it be that this person flew in? Ang Lee could not understand.
However, once, Ang Lee secretly went to the school at night to catch lobsters near the school. In fact, it should be called illuminating lobsters. As long as he shined an electric light on it, the lobsters would not move, and he could easily catch them.
After catching a few lobsters, Ang Lee found a black thing on the school wall. He did not know what it was. He shined an electric light on it and found that it was a tattered military coat.
Why would there be a military coat on the school wall? Moreover, it was obviously a very tattered military coat. Could it be that someone threw it up because they were bored?
With a curious heart, Ang Lee started to think. He even forgot about the important matter of catching lobsters.
Soon, Ang Lee found that there was movement on the wall. A man who did not look very tall climbed up the military coat. Then, he threw down a package and jumped to the outside of the school wall. He reached out his hand and pulled the military coat off the wall.
Looking at the guy who was holding the package in one hand and the military coat in the other, Ang Lee finally understood how the thief entered the school without destroying the glass on the school wall. It turned out that he used the cotton military coat to cover the glass to prevent his body from being scratched by the glass.
Experts came from the common people. Ang Lee could only describe it this way. Many amazing inventions were made by the common people. Under the stimulation of poverty, the common people's intelligence was stimulated, and they could think of any ideas.
The poor people of the Tuba Road in the future were too poor. Therefore, they invented classic combat examples such as mine warfare and tunnel warfare.
Now, since Ang Lee had built a school in the local area, he must protect the school well and not let the thief have the slightest chance to take advantage of it.
There were a large number of teachers and students in the school during the day. Under normal circumstances, thieves would not dare to act rashly. However, it was more dangerous at night. Thieves were very likely to steal at night.
Therefore, there must be someone patrolling the school at night. Moreover, it was better to have more than two people. In order to prevent people from asking for leave, it would be better to have three people.
"Yes, Assistant Minister Li. I will arrange the personnel tomorrow."
The subordinate replied.
Soon, the local carpenters in charge of making tables and chairs arrived at the school with dozens of flatbed carts.
"Unload the goods. Hurry up and unload them. Just put them in the yard. Hurry up."
The official of the Tang Dynasty commanded loudly.
The locals of the dozens of flatbed carts were all busy. They quickly moved the tables and chairs down and put them on the playground.
"Assistant Minister Li, how should we distribute these tables and chairs? Should we put them in each classroom equally, or …"
The official of the Tang Dynasty did not know how to arrange these tables and chairs, so he asked Ang Lee.
Ang Lee thought for a moment and said, "First, fill the six classrooms. Each classroom has 51 tables and chairs. One for the teacher and 50 for the students."
"Yes, I understand."
The official of the Tang Dynasty responded and then ordered, "Hurry up and move the tables and chairs. There are six rooms in the first row, and each room has 51 tables and chairs. You have to arrange them neatly. Hurry up."
With the interpreter's explanation, hundreds of locals immediately began to move the tables and more than 300 sets of tables and chairs to the appropriate rooms.
After the tables and chairs were arranged neatly, Ang Lee entered one of the classrooms to check the effect of the tables and chairs on the spot. After looking at it for a long time, he felt that it was really good. It had reached the level of the 1990s.
"The white walls between the windows are too monotonous. Should we hang some inspirational sayings?"
Li An pointed out something that did not make sense.
"Inspirational sayings? This is … "
The subordinate official did not understand.
Ang Lee said, "Forget it. Let me do this work myself!"
It was very necessary to hang some sayings on the walls of the classrooms. It could fill the whole classroom with a cultural atmosphere and make it easier for the students to enter the state of learning.
