After binding the loving mother system, I was so bad

"Old Taoist priest?" When Gu Nanxi saw that the old Taoist priest, who was supposed to be in Hangzhou, had come all the way to Fuming Town, his heart suddenly tightened. Could it be that something had happened to Su Yunting?

When the others heard that it was someone the governor was familiar with, they all squatted down and looked at the old Taoist priest.

This was a long procession of six or seven carriages, and leading the group was an old man in a Taoist robe.

Perhaps because he was in a hurry, he looked a little listless, but he was still guarding a large clay jar behind him in a protective posture.

As for the carriages at the back, they were protected by four or five guards.

When the old Taoist priest saw Gu Nanxi, he breathed a sigh of relief and quickly jumped off the carriage.

"Greetings, General. I am here to give you a New Year's gift on the orders of Su Jilang."

Lumei smiled brightly and congratulated Gu Nanxi: "Master, Erlang is in Hangzhou, so far away, but he still misses you."

Others also expressed their envy.

Qin Bohuai: "Oh, if my brat had this much filial piety, I would have to eat three more bowls of rice!"

Yan Tongchu: "I once heard from Boss Li that the three brothers and sisters of the Su family have all achieved something and are so filial to their mother. This is all because of the good teachings of the adults."

Gu Nanxi felt a little guilty after being praised. If letting the child go freely also counts as raising him, then she was indeed being very responsible.

The old Taoist priest gestured for someone to move the large pottery jar on the carriage, and carefully reminded them: "Be gentle and don't damage the things inside."

His actions naturally aroused the curiosity of others.

Green Plum: "What's in this?"

The old Taoist priest scratched his head and said honestly, "They are ears of wild rice. After discovering these wild rice, Su Erlang ordered people to fence them in and guard them for several months until they finally bore ears."

Xu Shizhao, who was originally nonchalant, raised his head instantly and stared at the big pottery jar with burning eyes: "What's so special about this rice?"

The old Taoist priest remembered Su Erlang's instructions and said, "It's nothing special. The yield is not as high as normal rice, but the land where it grows will always be flooded by sea water."

!!!

Xu Shizhao's eyes were as big as copper bells. He didn't care about his old arms and legs. He ran to the pottery jar, rubbing his hands, as if he didn't know where to start.

"Could it be that it grows by the sea?"

The old Taoist priest looked at the old man curiously, wondering if he was hard of hearing: "Yes, didn't I just say that?"

Xu Shizhao asked reflexively: "Are you really not lying to me?"

The old Taoist priest was very annoyed and rolled his eyes: "This is Su Erlang's annual gift to the general. Can you use this to fool people?"

Xu Shizhao nodded repeatedly, his mouth almost stretched to the back of his head: "Yes, you can't lie!"

Wang Buxi pushed Lumei aside and asked Gu Nanxi about his well-being: "Sir, you have been busy for so long just now, you must be tired, right? Just let us do the rough work."

Gu Nanxi: "Just say what you want to say."

Wang Buxi: "This wild rice has a connection with our Woye Town!"

Upon hearing this, Xu Shizhao also turned around and looked at Gu Nanxi longingly with starry eyes.

Gu Nanxi: "All for you."

This time, Wang Buxi and Xu Shizhao didn't even eat the New Year's Eve dinner. Holding the pottery jar, they got on the carriage and ran back to Woye Town as if they were afraid that Gu Nanxi would go back on his word.

Qin Bohuai looked at their receding backs and said sourly, "Wang Buxi is really lucky. He came to the governor's mansion to pay New Year's greetings empty-handed, but got such a big surprise."

All these towns benefited, except Wuchuan Town, which had only design and planning but gained nothing.

Thinking of this, Qin Bohuai felt very uncomfortable. Although there are ten fingers of different lengths, it doesn't make sense that Wuchuan Town must be the shortest little finger!

Lu Mei interrupted with a smile: "Master, besides wild rice, what else did Erlang bring to our master?"

Speaking of this, the old Taoist priest began to search among the crowd, who was Mojia Pu Chang?

"The rest are all firearms."

Qin Bohuai walked past the old Taoist priest and lifted the oilcloth covering the carriage closest to him.

Sure enough, the carriage was filled with firearms!

Some are long and cylindrical, some are round, some are smaller than the palm of your hand, and some are longer than your arm...

Without someone knowledgeable to guide me, I really don’t know how to use these things.

Now Qin Bohuai no longer felt aggrieved or jealous, and his arrogant laughter deafened everyone's ears.

"Sir, these are all from our Wuchuan Town!"

Gu Nanxi naturally wouldn't favor one over the other: "Yes."

Qin Bohuai waved his hand, and several fully armed soldiers took over the carriages.

Calling Pu Chang and the old Taoist priest together, Qin Bohuai was eager to return home and led the team back to Wuchuan Town!

In the blink of an eye, the Governor's Mansion, which was crowded just now, became spacious.

Yan Tongchu teased, "This old Qin's face changes faster than the weather in June."

Gu Nanxi held her empty stomach and asked everyone to sit down.

After everyone had almost finished eating, Gu Nanxi brought up the business.

"The Queen and Concubine Tong are pregnant, and His Majesty has granted them a special examination. Although our Yunzhou was established not long ago, we cannot miss this opportunity."

Yan Tongchu: "Sir, do you want to build a school?"

Yunzhou is a vast area with a sparse population, and suffers from war every year.

It was difficult for people to fill their stomachs, let alone send their children to school.

Even if there are wealthy families who want their children to have a bright future, they will not let their children stay in Yunzhou, but will find a way to move them to Shuozhou or even Xiangzhou.

But in this case, those students would not be counted as students from Yunzhou, but from other states. When they entered the court in the future, they would join other factions.

Gu Nanxi: "If we want Yunzhou to develop peacefully and steadily, we must cultivate Yunzhou's own power in the court."

Gu Nanxi was truly making long-term plans for Yunzhou. As long as he served as the governor of Yunzhou, he would be able to have a say in the court with his network of connections.

When one day I am no longer the governor and someone else takes over, it will be hard to say what will happen then!

But when this plan reached the ears of Yan Tongchu and others, it took on a different meaning.

Yan Tongchu admired from the bottom of his heart that the man he followed was indeed a master at using leverage!

With the help of the emperor's special granting of an imperial examination, he was able to study in Yunzhou with full justification.

First, they could take this opportunity to register those students who came to Yunzhou under their name. Most of Niu Jinyi and his friends were Juren. If they could pass the imperial examination and become Jinshi or even the top scholar, they could enter the imperial court smoothly!

The second is long-term planning! Your great plan requires talents to manage it! Starting a school in advance is to reserve talents for the future!

Gu Nanxi didn't know that his subordinates had already misinterpreted his intentions, and he was still trying to persuade him: "My Dalang has sent a few teachers to bring back the "Three Fives" and other materials from Baichuan Academy. When the time comes, we will open a branch of Baichuan Academy in Yunzhou."

Yan Tongchu and others looked at each other and understood everything!

The General never said it explicitly, but her actions made it clear!
