The first stop of the trip to Baoding was full of rewards.
I met with Han Jun, prepared the publishing and bookshop industries, promoted the mobile library in the capital, and completely captured some restless guys~
A few confidants with good business skills were brought from the capital, leaving just five people to prepare for the printing press, book shop, and selling books, reading, listening to books, dramas, drinking tea, catering, teaching literacy, teaching music, teaching geography, teaching
Wenhuan industry of painting is one-stop service.
In addition, a copy of the movable type manuscript of the latest Chinese version of "Elements of Geometry" and "Don Quixote" was left, and the movable type printing plate and corresponding illustrations were prepared.
When the time is right, Wang Hongyu will arrange for unified publication.
The motorcade left Baoding Prefecture and continued in the same order as before, in the front, in the middle, and in the back.
The convoy arrived at Lincheng County in the southern section of Zhending Prefecture. Wang Hongyu prepared gifts and visited the homes of his eldest brother Zhou Dunji and his second brother Zhang Shenwu's old superior, Qiao Bixing.
At this time, Qiao Bixing had been dead for five years. Wang Hongyu used Meng Biao's staff to find out in advance the changes in Qiao Bixing's family over the past few years:
In the eighth year of Qiao Bixing's stay in Shu, his grandson died of illness and his wife Gao Gongren was seriously ill. He was not allowed to return home nine times because he was too honest and jealous.
From then on, Qiao Bixing waited for two years to come back. However, due to overwork, he became depressed and fell ill. On April 2, the 44th year of Wanli, he returned only ten days later and finally passed away.
After his death, the family had no money and could not bury him, so he sold a house and a villa in the county for more than a hundred gold to complete the funeral.
Zhou Yijie had followed Zhou Dunji for many years. At that time, he had many supports for Zhou Dunji and Zhang Shenwu. Later, it was only after he died of illness that the She family and the An family bribed officials to convict the two of them.
Not only did he have the past, but the key thing is that Qiao Bixing is also a non-partisan, but very capable official like Han Jun. Moreover, he is more famous and has an upright personality, but he is not just a clean figure, but a real civil servant.
, economic and military achievements have been achieved.
Qiao Bixing was the top three in the palace examination in the eighth year of Wanli, and was elected as the magistrate of Zhongmu County, Kaifeng Prefecture, Henan. After taking office in Zhongmu County, he got rid of the past evils, provided both favors and favors, reduced corvee labor, reduced taxes, went deep into the people, and clearly understood the sufferings of the people, and the people's lives gradually became richer.
When he was appointed governor of Sichuan, it was just after the expropriation and sowing, and the manpower and material resources were in dire straits. Qiaobixing Dumen thanked guests, strictly prohibited communication, and reported all bribes and bribes to the vassal king, county clan, and various bureaucrats, and was dismissed from office.
An Yaochen, the chieftain of Shuixi, wanted to recruit his son-in-law to kill the three sons of the Long family in Zhenxiong. He colluded with the local officials to disobey his orders and was unable to drive them away many times. Qiao Bixing moved to the town of Xuzhou, led his army to attack him, and captured his commander-in-chief in one fell swoop.
After that, Sichuan Dusi Zhang Shenwu and Yongning Counselor Zhou Dunji participated in the battle between the She family in Shuixi in order to weaken the She family's power.
Later, there was civil strife in the She family, and the excuse was that Zhou Dunji and Zhang Shenwu kidnapped She Shixu, the grandmother of another branch of the She family. Some officials who were bribed by the She'an family took advantage of the situation and launched an attack to punish Zhou Dunji and Zhang Shenwu.

Because Zhang Shenwu and Liu Wei were fellow villagers and both were top martial arts scholars, they had many interactions with each other. Zhou Dunji was Liu Wei's subordinate. The three of them always believed that the She'an family harbored rebellion.
When Liu Wei was transferred to Lintao Commander-in-Chief before leaving, he, Zhou Dunji, and Zhang Shenwu sent disciple Wang Hongyuan to the She family to collect information on the She family's preparations for rebellion.
Qiao Bixing, the governor of Sichuan, was fair and honest. He knew the painstaking efforts of Zhou Dunji and Zhang Shenwu.
He withstood the pressure and refused to let the female officials punish Zhou Dunji and Zhang Shenwu.
After several years of delay, he finally died of illness.
After Qiao Bixing's death, Zhou Dunji and Zhang Shenwu were soon imprisoned.
It was not until the war in Liaodong became tense that Zhou Dunji and Zhang Shenwu were rescued and rushed to the battlefield.
Qiao Bixing's eldest son, Qiao Ruowen, had followed Qiao Bixing to Sichuan before and was familiar with Zhou Dunji, Zhang Shenwu and others.
Two years ago, in the forty-seventh year of Wanli's reign, he was awarded the title of Jinshi. His father was the top three scholar in the imperial examination, and his son was a Jinshi. The family was a well-rounded family.

Currently serving as an official in the capital, reports about the heroic deeds of the Sichuan army and Zhou Dunji had been reported before. At this time, the Qiao family knew that the group was about to pass by, so of course they sent their clansmen to greet them and pay their respects to Zhou Dunji's remains.
Wang Hongyu and his party arrived at Qiaojiazhuang, Lincheng County, Qiao Bixing's hometown.
The village of Qiaojiazhuang is not small, with more than 700 households, half of whom have the surname Qiao.
The second son of the Qiao family organized the whole family, old and young, and went to the intersection with prepared sacrifices to meet him. This Ming army spirit was a subordinate of his late father. This was the glory of the Qiao family.
When we arrived at the edge of Lincheng County, we could see a neat motorcade in the distance. The vehicles and horses were pulling books, more than ten thousand volumes. It was Wang Hongyu and the library of the Jingshi Mobile School.
A child of Qiao's family who was about 10 years old, saw so many books, his eyes lit up with excitement.
Wang Hongyu met and asked: "Young man, do you like books?"
"Of course! My grandfather has a large collection of books, but he only has 3,000 volumes. It took me several years to read 500. There must be many more than 10,000 volumes here. It's so exciting!"
"what's your name?"
"Qiao Jibai!"
This 10-year-old child is Qiao Ruowen's son Qiao Jibai. There is also a name in history. After Qiao Ruowen died against the Qing Dynasty, he vowed not to participate in the political affairs of the Qing Dynasty. He read a lot of books and learned a lot in his life.
Qiao Jibai then visited the mobile library of the capital. Most of the books in it were good books that he had never heard of before. He was completely fascinated as soon as he saw them.
Zhou Dunji's coffin arrived the next day, and the Qiao family members, led by Wang Hongyu and Qiao Ruoji, lined up to pay homage to Zhou Dunji's remains. Many people felt sorry for the hero and shed tears in sorrow.
With Lincheng County as the center, Wang Hongyu promoted the market and purchased supplies with the help of the local Qiao family.
"I want to follow and learn!"
Qiao Jibai decided to go to the mobile library in the capital. He was attracted by the huge collection of books. More importantly, he wanted to wait for Wang Hongyu to conquer the frontier and inherit his grandfather's legacy.
His second uncle couldn't resist, so he had to send someone to contact his elder brother Qiao Ruoji in Beijing.
But Qiao, who had a hundred people and was a fool, persuaded several bookboys and old servants to pack their bags and prepare to follow.
The second uncle didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He wanted to get angry and stop him, but he knew that Zhou Dunji was once his father's subordinate, and Wang Hongyu was also a great hero, so he couldn't stop him rudely.
A few days later, Qiao Ruoji wrote back and actually agreed and suggested sending more people to follow him.
Not only that, he also wrote a letter to introduce Qiao Bixing's connections in Sichuan, Huguang, and Henan, especially the old connections that Sichuan used to defend against the She family, and introduced them to Wang Hongyu.
The Qiao family responded with all their strength, sending Qiao Jibai and the Qiao family housekeeper to lead some tribesmen and villagers to follow, and sent people to Zhongmu County and Sichuan to contact Qiao Bixing's connections and respond to Wang Hongyu's orders at any time.
This Qiao Jibai happens to have a good relationship with Li Tiezhu these days. The two are very different but have something in common. Growing up together is beneficial to the two and a half-year-old children.
