"Feng Xiao, you are here!" Nan Xing got up from the couch to greet him.Guo Jia just came in from outside the house.

Xi Zhong, Xun You and Xun Yu are all there in the room.It seems that Nan Xing is planning to build a school, otherwise the few of them would not get together like this.Guo Jia glanced at the staff and had an idea in his mind.

Xi Zhong was drinking his tea, secretly winking at him.It seems that Xun You and Xun Yu belonged to Xun's family on Nan Xing's side, and they have been accepted as their own.Aristocratic families will not bet on one side, not to mention that the world is not in chaos, even if the world is in chaos, they will not support one person by the whole family.Instead, they bet separately, destroying one family will not affect the development of the whole family.

This is the aristocratic family, which will not be shaken by one country for a while.

It's just that it would be great if Wen Ruo could also stand in line.He had a calculation in his mind.

"Now the number of scholars in Yinping has grown to a large scale. Presumably, the selection has also achieved results." Nan Xing said while looking at Xun You, who, as the governor of the county, had the most say.

"That's right. A few days ago, many scholars came to recommend themselves. Yinping County has few aristocratic families, and the selection of talents from the people is relatively smooth, but if the master plans to build a popular school, it may still be very difficult." This level of level The selection of questions and answers is still within the acceptance of the world, if it goes further, it may be difficult.

Xi Zhicai interrupted at this time, "A few days ago, I saw that most women and children in the village like to gather around the corporal leader and ask some counting questions. Why don't you intervene from here."

Guo Jia turned his head and suggested, "It's better to let the pavilion chiefs or corporal chiefs in each township be responsible for teaching some simple characters. Now they are interested in learning." As for the men who are busy with farming, let Teach yourself! "Let the folks in the music hall spread the word in the villages, and the accountants will become managers. Naturally, people will be moved."

The counselors under his command set the general direction with a few sentences, and Nan Xing had no chance to intervene.Sure enough, the great people who have left their names in history are not stupid and stubborn.As long as there is a little mention, they can do better than modern people like themselves.

In the end, everyone has always decided to lure them with money first, teach basic literacy and simple counting to the people, and then form rural schools and the like in the future.However, the current mathematics textbook "Nine Chapters of Arithmetic" may be a bit difficult, and there are no literacy textbooks.

"It's simple, just use the book that my family steward learned!" Nan Xing took out the "Thousand Characters" and other literacy and numeracy books that he compiled when he was young. It has been modified several times, and it is very suitable for teaching.After everyone read it, discussed the details to be changed, and added some new agricultural techniques, Xi Zhicai took the initiative to take over the revision of the textbook.

Guo Jia after everyone left.stayed.

"Feng Xiao, what else is there?" Nan Xing asked after packing up his things. Usually, Guo Jia was either reading at home or wandering on the street. He rarely took the initiative to look for her.

"My lord, the caravan from the Western Regions has returned." He said in a very serious tone, "They brought a lot of good things."

"Oh, what do you want? Go get it yourself, tell them it's mine." Nan Xing didn't realize what he wanted to say, so he agreed directly.

"This is what the lord said, so Jia thanked you here." Guo Jia got Nan Xing's promise and left contentedly.

At this time, Nan Xing did not realize the seriousness of the problem.

Here, outside the city of Yinping, Jiang Xin led the people to work in full swing.Ginger stone does not need to be fired, it is directly a natural cement raw material, and only needs to be poured with water.Jiang Xin intends to use it as a foundation, and then find a craftsman who specializes in building houses to discuss the wooden structure of the house.

Nan Xing recently mixed with these craftsmen, and was ridiculed by Jiang Xin that even if he became a sheriff, he would still be with bricks and stones all day long like when he was a child.

"What's the matter, I think I'm relaxed." Nan Xing himself seemed bold and unrestrained, and even carried the ginger stone with the craftsmen.He didn't hide it when he was seen by the farmers, and even chatted with the common people, which seemed very close to the people.Of course, this incident was also written into a story by "Yue Guan", and it will be a later story to sing her good name.

Recently, she and Jiang Xin have a lot of common language. In fact, most of the current craftsmen have learned a lot of "Mo Jing" from master to apprentice, and know a lot of formulas and theorems about geometry, mathematics, and optics.However, the language of these formulas and theorems is not concise, and the description is quite satisfactory.With these, craftsmen can make machinery such as catapults and mechanical structures such as mortise and tenon joints of houses.

However, as professionals, craftsmen are quite exclusive.Even Nan Xing's "wonderful ideas" in the past were discussed with Jiang Xin after he led someone to think about them, and he didn't listen to those modern theorems at all.

If Nan Xing asked them to build a Chinese garden, no matter how large or luxurious it was, Jiang Xin would definitely bring someone there himself, and would not listen to Nan Xing's opinion at all.

After Nan Xing taught a lot of mathematics and physics knowledge, Jiang Xin directly stated that he needs some time to understand these knowledge, and the construction may be delayed. If the young master is in a hurry, he may have to change the appearance of the house.

In the end, Nan Xing and the workers in charge of building the house decided to build three floors according to the structure of a courtyard house, and the courtyard is a place for lectures, and Mr. Ciming can also be used to teach students.Then make rammed earth steps and build buildings around them.Form a slope-shaped building complex.

According to Nan Xing's request, it was built to be the most luxurious within the scope of the etiquette system.

Now it’s simple. At this time, the wooden buildings are all selected according to the required status. The size of the column is determined, and the rest of the parts are fixed. It only needs to be transported to the foundation and built.Nan Xing and the workers decided to pour cement between the central columns to stabilize the foundation, and then use bricks to make walls.

After everything was finalized, Nan Xing told the workers, "All the blueprints and methods used for construction should be recorded. I'm afraid we will build houses in this way in the future."

The worker steward looked overjoyed and quickly promised that this was an opportunity given by the sheriff.When building houses in the future, experienced workers like them are the first choice, and maybe they can benefit the three families.

After solving these matters, Nan Xing took a leisurely stroll back which was rare.The market is bustling, and it is adjacent to Liangzhou, where there are many Hu people and crops from the Western Regions.Since she organized the glass making, Tang said that she ordered people to search for nitrate nearby, but unexpectedly found Chaka Salt Lake and Qinghai Lake by accident.As the two rare large lakes in Northwest China, there are not only natural sun-free salt, but also Glauber's salt that does not need to be purified, which is an important material for making plastic, glass, and leather products.More importantly, Qinghai has a relatively high altitude, and there are quite few Hu people at this time, and it is also close to Didao, so transportation is convenient.It's just God helping me.

Therefore, except for a few caravans in the Central Plains and some going to the minority areas in the southwest, let alone transferred to the northwest.With the help of the Southern Xiongnu and the Di people, Nanxing was also well informed in the Hetao area.Naturally, the Silk Road was also traveled by her caravans.

Pepper, pepper, and chili from the Western Regions have long been condiments, and they are grown explosively in Bashu.Sugar cane, grapes, etc. have also taken root, but they have not had time to make sugar and wine.Most people still eat maltose now.

More importantly, this time the caravan came back with the winter wheat that Nan Xing had always wanted.

Nan Xing counted these things while shopping.The price of tea is worth a thousand gold, and the shops under her management only trade for cattle and horses, so there are always barbarians to buy when the cattle and horses are strong.Even some clans that Nan Xing has never seen have come, and it won't be long before she can plan the next step as long as the grassland's economic dependence on the Central Plains increases.The melons and fruits of the Western Regions are also very popular. Last winter, Nanxing took a lot of money to pay the labor expenses of the people participating in the reconstruction. Now each family has some spare money, and some are diligent after buying iron farm tools and renting cattle. With some spare money, I am willing to buy some lambs or melons and fruits, which are usually reluctant to part with.

In short, it seems that this place is completely different from the war-torn county a year ago.The location of the county guard is like this. The more northerly places may have less land, but there are more troops, and the business of food, cattle and horses may be more prosperous.A few days ago, Zhang Liao wrote to say that the barbarian people are peaceful, so he opened up the border cities for everyone to do some small business, and bought some sheep for the brothers to have a tooth sacrifice.Nan Xing thought about grinding it out, and then he could make pancakes.Now the military rations are extremely hard and unpalatable wheat bran lumps, which are very difficult to digest.With bread, you can improve military rations.Only when the army is full can we fight!

Just as she was thinking, she suddenly saw a familiar figure in a teahouse on the street from the corner of her eye.

Guo Jia shook the bottle of wine, shaking his head at the book while drinking.Wine from the Western Regions is a rarity even now, Guo Jia has always been a good wine, and it is impossible to let it go.

In order to drink more happily, he even asked the sheriff for a promise.When Nan Zhihuai realized it, he might not be able to drink so freely.

However, the good times are over.

"Okay, Feng Xiao has been here recently!" A familiar voice made his hairs stand on end.Guo Jia turned his head stiffly, and the moment he saw Nan Xing, he sobered up for a second. "Ha, ha, ha...why is Zhihuai here?" Don't you usually take charge of the county guard's mansion?Why are you so busy shopping today?

"If you don't go shopping, how do you know that Fengxiao is such a good wine?" Nan Xing lifted his robe and knelt down.Glancing at the wine bottle on the ground from the corner of the eye, it's only been a few days, and this person in front of him has drunk so much?This is not counting as the empty bottle taken away by the servant... Nan Xing twitched the corner of his mouth, "Do you still remember what I told you a few years ago about restraining your desires?"

"Of course I remember." While talking, he poured wine into his mouth. "But Jia also said that life should be full of joy after decades of life!"

"Based on your drinking method, it won't be decades...you will become a fairy in a few years." Nan Xing mocked unceremoniously. She was really worried about the health of her friend, and she was thinking about controlling his drinking. method.

"Hey, drinking hurts your health---" an abrupt voice cut in.
