Chapter 108 Gou Rixin and the Whetstone
When the country is not doing well, it will be difficult for individuals to live happily.
The so-called good country means that it reduces the difficulty for people to obtain happiness to a certain level, allowing more people to obtain happiness.
Yun Zhao’s previous poverty alleviation work was based on this model, helping people gain happiness.
The lives of people in Lantian County today are not good.
That is, there is porridge to drink every day, and a bed or a big kang to sleep on at night.
In Yun Zhao's view, this is far from enough, but in the eyes of Lantian people, it is already a good life.
Many times, happiness is determined by comparison.
The people in the county probably know the appearance of those people who were blocked outside Lantian County by Yun Zhao's decree.
Therefore, there is nothing dissatisfying about being forced to work by the small county magistrate every day.
Yunshi has too much money.
Whether it is the income from Yun Zhao’s robbery or the money obtained from Hong Chengchou, it is too much. In addition, Zhang Tianxiong has recently sent some Tuyi Vajra Crisps from time to time, and the money in Yun’s treasury is too much. It is logical that there will be more.
The water conservancy project built last year was actually a bit rough, and the construction of the main trunk was basically completed. However, the construction of the most important ditch in the farmland did not meet Yun Zhao's design.
So, after the autumn grain went to the ground, the people of Lantian County began to organize the water conservancy project.
This time no food will be given, only a small amount of money.
People have seen the benefits of water conservancy projects, so the difficulty of mobilizing people to build canals has been reduced a lot this year.
As long as people from Lantian County see a construction site, they will spontaneously bring hoes, shovels, wheelbarrows and other things to join in the work.
Yun Zhao didn’t want the people of Lantian County to be idle.
People can't be idle. Once they are idle, all kinds of things will happen, draining all their energy every day, and they will have no time to think about other things.
The construction of Yushan Academy is still in full swing. The people who built Yushan Academy were either craftsmen recruited from Lantian County at a high price, or people raised by the Yun family at the entrance of the Qinling Mountains.
By August, a quaint Yushan Academy had appeared in front of Yun Zhao.
The completed Yushan Academy is far from magnificent. The reason why it looks simple is entirely because of the use of a large amount of wood and local stones.
More like a war fortress than an academy.
Xu Yuanshou and other eight gentlemen were extremely satisfied with the new academy, but they were full of doubts about how big Yun Zhao had built the academy.
"I built it to accommodate five thousand students."
Yun Zhao looked a little ambitious after looking at the academy.
“We only have more than 500 students. No matter how many we have, we can’tCan't be taught. "
Zhang Xianliang is very dissatisfied with Yun Zhao's attitude towards studying. School has been here for three months, and Yun Zhao has been in class for less than ten days.
"This place has been built. Well, doesn’t Mr. Zhang have a few friends who are hungry and cold? You can just call everyone over and teach together. "
Zhang Xianliang frowned and said: "I am poor, so most of the friends I make are also poor. How many do you want? "
Yun Zhao sighed and said: "I searched the Yun family yesterday, and I found that not even one person who has read and knows the calligraphy is not successful. "
Xu Yuanshou said angrily: "You are thinking about asking me to teach you about those bandits of the Yun family, right? "
Yun Zhao smiled and said: "Don't you often say - there is no discrimination without distinction? "
Xu Yuanshou said: "Those who are thirsty will not drink the water from the stolen spring, those who are hot will not be quelled by the shade of the evil trees, and those who are honest will not be fed by the sighs! "
" Yun is an official now, and most of the people in the family are officers and soldiers, and no one is a robber! Even if there are people who are evil-minded, the teacher has the responsibility to teach them to be good people. "
Xu Yuanshou sighed and said: "What a certain family wants to do most right now is to teach you to be a good person first. ”
Zhao Yuanqi, who has always been witty, laughed and said: “Don’t make excuses for yourself. If Hengqu is to flourish, it cannot do without the support of the Yun family.
If you can’t change this, don’t say too many useless words. It’s important to educate these kids. No matter what they do in the future, a certain family only needs to continue their unique learning for the saints. ”
Yun Zhao is not interested in such academic debates. For now, as long as these gentlemen can teach all these children to read, he will be satisfied.
The age of firearms has passed Come, the war has changed. At this time, it is easier for people who can read and write to master new skills than illiterate people.
For this goal, Yun Zhao can give up any persistence. .
“Yushan Academy now has two thousand acres of newly developed land. With this land, the Academy will not have to worry about running out. "
Yun Zhao changed the topic and talked about the future of the academy.
"It's all mountainous! ”
“The corn yield is not good, less than 400 kilograms per acre! "
"The yield of potatoes is slightly better, but it is only 100 catties, which is not as good as that in the plains.
"Sweet potatoes are the most outstanding. One acre of land yields 2,400 kilograms, which is beyond my expectation."
Several gentlemen shouted for a while, Han Du asked Xu Yuanshou strangely: "There are such outputs in the mountains. Yuanshou, why is your brother holding back?"
Xu Yuanshou shook his head and said: "My brother has left the capital and gone to Haojing. Discussing the purchase of cannons with the Portuguese has not involved farming for a long time."
Yun Zhao sneered, and Liu Zhang said: "It's just a waste of time."
Xu Yuanshou did not explain and looked at Yun ZhaoYun Zhao said: "I heard that you are also imitating bird guns?"
Yun Zhao said: "It is not that difficult to make bird guns. You just need to clamp the pig iron rod in the red-hot wrought iron and keep forging it. I can always make a qualified gun barrel."
"Would you like to find some craftsmen from the Lumi Kingdom? The long gun made by Zhao Shiji is based on the long gun that the Lumi Kingdom (Turkey) paid tribute to. /p>
I heard from my brother that there are many craftsmen from Rumi in Haojing, and the wages are cheap!”
“Huh? Are there many Portuguese in Haojing?”
"Not many. Most of the people there are foreigners. According to my brother, there are no less than six thousand people, and they respect the Portuguese."
Yun Zhao thought for a while and said: "I want some slave craftsmen. Just write to Mr. Da Xu and ask him to discuss it with the Portuguese."
Xu Yuanshou looked at Yun Zhao coldly and said, "Do you have to make my good suggestions so disgusting? /p>
You don’t seem to be short of money.”
Yun Zhao shook his head and said: “I just hate being choked. For this reason, I am willing to pay more.”
"Have you ever thought about what you think the Portuguese will do once your letter gets into their hands?"
Xu Yuanshou felt a little sad.
Yun Zhao said calmly: "The foreigners who came to China are all ambitious, hoping to get rich overnight by discovering the New World.
This itself is a kind of gambling. Since they have put themselves on the gambling table, what's wrong with me taking the banker's take-all position?
This is a new way of playing the game. Sir, you are worrying too much. Be my slave, no? It must be more miserable than them living in the land of Haojing."
Xu Yuanshou pointed at Yun Zhao, and finally waved his sleeves helplessly and left. If we say last year, Yun Zhao was still an obedient person. My child, by this year, Yun Zhao has grown into a bad boy who has to do everything with his teachers.
Watching the gentlemen go away with unclear thoughts, Yun Zhao finally had a smile on his face.
The ancients are right, you should respect your teachers, talk to them more, and have the mentality that when we are three people walking together, there will always be something to gain.
This is also what the ancients said: ‘Every day it is new, it is new every day, and it is new every day!
In the Ming Dynasty, there were only two people whom Yun Zhao admired most, one was Xu Guangqi and the other was Zhao Shiji!
These two people are at the forefront of scientific research, and they are also the two officials with the broadest vision among the officials of the Ming Dynasty.
As long as he has contact with them, Yun Zhao can always find what he needs most from clues.
Yun Yang was beaten until he vomited blood.
He was beaten by eight people wearing masks.
These eight masked men were all tied with iron chains. Even so, Yun Yang was still no match.
When Gao Jie faced the masked men, he could definitely win one on one, but struggled a bit in one on two, but he could still defeat the masked men. When he faced three masked men alone, unless he fought hard, Otherwise you will loseundoubtedly.
Yun Zhao saw this scene through a small hole.
Yun Yang, the most ferocious among the brothers, had no power to fight back when facing these eight masked men.
"The reason why these eight slaves surrendered was because they wanted to find an opportunity to kill me, don't you think?"
Yun Zhao moved his eyes away from the holes and whispered The pair also peeked at Yun Yang and the others practicing martial arts, Qian Shao Shao said.
Qian Shaoshao nodded and said: "I think so too, do you want to kill them?"
Yun Zhao shook his head and said: "I want all Yun warriors to know that Jianu is What does it look like? I want all the students in this academy to graduate after defeating these eight slaves.
The superiors raise tigers. It’s not without purpose. My purpose is very clear. I want these eight. These Jian slaves have become the whetstone for our Yun clan soldiers. I want them to complete their psychological construction by defeating these eight Jian slaves and no longer be discouraged by the reputation of Jian slaves!"
