Compulsory education in ancient times

With a slight smile on her face, Wang Wanning said, "This plan is good, we can try it from Huaiyang first."

Tao Pengfei heard the words and knew that Wang Wanning also thought this was too big a step, and it must be a lie if he said in his heart that he was not dissatisfied.However, my own plan has been affirmed, and once the Huaiyang test is successful, will it be far away to promote it to the whole country? !Thinking of this, Tao Pengfei immediately became energetic again.

"There are [-] counties in Huaiyang, and with Huaiyang Prefecture included, we can find [-] bookstores to cooperate with!" After Tao Pengfei finished speaking, Wang Wanning nodded in agreement, and immediately rushed back to write a more detailed plan after the meeting was over. !

On February [-]th, Tao Jianran's carpenters actually drove out the waterwheel!

At that time, Tao Jianran was discussing with Qiu Yu and Wang Junhao about rebuilding the barracks, when the servant at home suddenly came to report, Tao Jianran and Qiu Yu were so excited that they stood up straight away!

"Great! It's only past noon now, let's install the waterwheel today!" Tao Yanran asked the boy to go back and inform the carpenters.

Qiu Yu also hurriedly said: "My lord, I wonder if the next official can go and watch?"

"Sure, is Lord Wang coming?" Tao Yanran turned to look at Wang Junhao.

After staying in Ning'an for so long, Wang Junhao didn't see any waterwheels before, so he said, "I'd better take someone back to measure the land first, sir."

Tao Jianran's ambition to rebuild the barracks this time is not small, it is not as simple as simply building a few houses.He wanted to build a well-equipped military base, and he had to measure all the land before he could start planning.

Tao Yanran didn't like being with Wang Junhao either, so he nodded and let him go.Then he took Qiu Yu directly to the carpenter's garden.

At this time, the carpenters were loading the components of the waterwheel. Qiu Yu saw wood pieces of different shapes placed in the garden, his eyes lit up instantly, and he asked Tao Jianran, "Master Tao, is this the waterwheel?"

"Yeah, thanks for catching up, otherwise I don't know what kind of delay it will be in the cotton field." Tao Jianran said, also heaving a sigh of relief.Although it is also feasible to lift water manually, it is not as efficient as a waterwheel after all.And since the waterwheel is installed on the Xiaoyi River, the surrounding farmland will be blessed!It is a pity to lose the benefits of killing two birds with one stone.

Qiu Yu also knew this, that's why he was so excited now.Although Wang Junhao had a blueprint for the waterwheel, there were few trees and carpenters in Yizhou, so there was no man or material to make the waterwheel.So Tao Jianran's one is the first water truck in Yizhou, so how can Qiu Yu not be excited!

Tao Jianran and Qiu Yu appeared together at the edge of Xiaoyi, which immediately attracted the attention of the people of Yizhou City.Especially seeing the carpenters assembling the waterwheel in an orderly manner, the common people were all very curious about those huge wooden boards.

These carpenters are all skilled workers, and it took only half an hour to get it done.

When the two-meter-high behemoth turned slowly under the impact of the water, the people onlookers all exclaimed!And Qiu Yu couldn't help holding his breath.

The water wheel slowly turned around, and when it reached the highest point, it poured water into the water table preset by the pipeline.Then the water began to flow slowly along the pipes towards the cotton fields.

With a thought in his mind, Tao Jianran followed the water, and Qiu Yu quickly followed.And the other melon-eating crowd watching the excitement followed behind without knowing why.

The distance of five miles is actually only 500 meters. Although Tao Jian walked fast, he walked for nearly four to ten minutes.By the time he arrived, the newly built cistern below the pipe was already half full.

The cistern has five cubic meters and has a water outlet at the bottom and one meter high.Now the one-meter-high water outlet is blocked by a wooden plug, while the bottom outlet is very small, slowly flowing water into the cotton field.

Usually, when the cotton field only needs a small amount of watering, the water outlet at the bottom can be plugged, and a wooden barrel can be used to receive the water flowing from the outlet at a height of one meter.And when the water reservoir is full, the water holding platform at the beginning of the pipeline can also be retracted, so that too much water will not flow in again.

Although this design is not ingenious, it is also ingenious, taking into account the various conditions of daily farmland water use.

It was also the first time for the people watching such an exquisite thing, their eyes widened, as if they wanted to imprint this novel and practical thing in their minds.

And the people were bolder, and immediately shouted: "Master, this thing is really useful, when can we install one on other farmlands?"

Hearing this, Qiu Yu wasn't annoyed either, it seemed that he usually got along with the common people so closely, he just replied: "Do you know how much the pipeline costs? Even if you sell all your fields, you can't build a pipeline for a mile !"

Hearing what Zhizhou said, the people onlookers gasped.

Such a precious thing is used to water this field, what kind of extravagant things are grown here?

The common people speculated in their hearts, but they didn't clamor to do the same for their own fields.

The water source was ready, and the ten farmers didn't wait for three days, but picked up the guys and started planting the next day.

Now that the spring plowing is coming to an end, many idle people have come to watch this miraculous water diversion project and the mysterious sowing of crops.

Tao Jianran was delighted to hear this, and asked Qiu Qinye to encourage the onlookers to help plant the seeds: "Listen to me, my lord said, when the cotton in this field is planted next year, the seeds will be distributed to everyone to plant together. You can get a subsidy! Instead of not knowing anything by then, why not practice your hands now, so that you won’t spoil your own fields in the future!”

The common people are not idiots who can just fool around and donate their labor force without thinking, but once they heard Qiu Qinye say that if the plant is damaged, they don’t need to pay for it, and they can accumulate experience, so that they won’t lose their own fields next year, and they will be there immediately. The eager man stepped forward.

Qiu Qinye didn't pick anyone, and after explaining the main points of sowing, he let the farmers play freely.It is estimated that this is the first time in the country to plant cotton now. Tao Yanran said that wear and tear is an inevitable investment in the road of exploration. It is better to let more people try it by themselves, and maybe they can draw more conclusions.

So with the help of enthusiastic onlookers, the [-] mu field was sown in just five days!

And Qiu Qinye also conscientiously recorded the similarities and differences of everyone when they planted seeds for follow-up research.

The first-class event of coming to Yizhou was finally on the right track. After Tao Jianran breathed a sigh of relief, he suddenly had an ominous premonition. He seemed to have forgotten a very important thing.

When he returned to the study room, he saw the black figure standing in the study room, his head was covered and his chrysanthemum was tight, but he still pretended to be calm and said: "Long time no see, An San, what are you doing in Yizhou?"

Ansan took out a stack of letters with a thickness of ten centimeters from his bosom, handed it to Tao Jian, and said, "The master has not received the letter from the young master. I am worried that something will happen to the young master, so I sent my subordinates to investigate."

"Well... I'm fine, you go to rest first, and take the reply back for me by the way." Tao Yanran took the stack of envelopes, only feeling a thousand catties in his hand!

He originally planned to write a letter to Qi Bohan as soon as he arrived in Yizhou, but he did so many things in a hurry when he arrived. Every time he thought of Qi Bohan, it was late at night, and it was difficult to get up to write a letter, so he just ...

I always feel that after returning to the capital, I will not be able to get out of bed for half a year.

Tao Jianran trembled all over, and quickly read the stack of letters seriously.

There are 45 letters in total!After Tao Yanran left the capital, one letter a day, Qi Bohan wrote down all the things he did throughout the day in detail, as if these were not letters, but diaries.Tao Jianran read it carefully, as if he spent more than a month with Qi Bohan.

It took Tao Jianran two days to finish reading these 45 letters, and then he felt a deep sense of guilt in his heart.When writing a reply, I don't even know how to write.

Qi Bohan, who is far away in the capital, can't stay for a day now, and he can't wait to rush to Yizhou to find Tao Jianran, a heartless man, to settle accounts!

But he still held it back abruptly, and after holding it back, he could only find other outlets to vent.

Now that the aristocratic family has been dealt with like walking on eggshells, Qi Bohan has no plans to attack the aristocratic family for the time being.And as soon as he thought of Tao Jianran being in the border area of ​​Yizhou, Qi Bohan wished he could bring millions of troops and crush the Xiongnu!

Ever since, the end of the students and soldiers and officers of the military academy in the capital has come.

Qi Bohan directly ordered that the military academy conduct a military drill once a month, and the teams will randomly draw lots, and the side that loses the drill will receive twice as much training next month!

The army in the capital city is divided into two battalions. The first battalion is the Royal Palace Guards, which are Qi Bohan's personal soldiers. They are led by a group of elites brought by Ning An, with 1000 soldiers.The other battalion is the soldiers and horses defending the city, with 1 soldiers.

The daily routine of these two battalions is patrolling and guarding, and there is relatively little time for training.Especially the soldiers and horses guarding the city are now in charge of Wang Lingjun's father, and no new training methods have been implemented, and their combat effectiveness is not high.

So Qi Bohan divided the imperial guards into ten groups, with 100 people in each group, who took turns serving as instructors to the soldiers defending the city.

Of course, being an instructor is not so easy.Before training every day, the soldiers defending the city can send 100 people to fight with the Janissaries.

If I win, the instructor will train with me today, and the training tasks will be twice as much as my own. If I lose, the training tasks will be doubled!

At the beginning, the Praetorian Guards can easily win, but when the defenders learn new training methods, the game will become evenly matched!

The military camp in the capital was turned upside down by Qi Bohan, and Wang Junhao also received an order from Qi Bohan to do everything possible to strengthen the army.

Although Qi Bohan didn't make it clear that he wanted to protect Tao Jianran's safety, how could Wang Junhao fail to guess what he was thinking.
