In the third year of Jianxing, Sun Quan ordered people to mine copper and iron in Wuchang to make thousands of swords and ten thousand swords. They were all forged with the finest charcoal from South Vietnam. They were extremely sharp and were called Thousand Swords and Ten Thousand Knives.
Then, the Huaihe River froze again last winter, and I heard that people froze to death in Jianye City.
So a few days ago, Sun Quan took three thousand knives among them and exchanged them with the big man for a batch of woolen cloth.
Xinghanhui took over the transportation business of this business. The ticket company first allocated a batch of woolen cloth directly from Jincheng's warehouse and asked Dongfeng Express to transport it to Yong'an, and then received the weapons from Yong'an and transported them back to Jincheng.
The line from Yong'an to Jincheng is run by the Xu family, so Xu Xun personally escorted these weapons to Jincheng.
Because the Prime Minister was in Hanzhong preparing for the Northern Expedition, Liu Chan issued an edict and asked Dongfeng Express to send these weapons to Hanzhong to finance the Northern Expedition.
Xu Xun worked non-stop and sent these three thousand knives to Hanzhong without even unloading the goods.
When we got there, a new batch of purple electric swords built by Hanzhongye for the Yuexun Prefecture were released. Dongfeng Express was also responsible for transporting them, so Xu Xun followed him to Yuexun, and at the same time, he was immersed in Yuexun to start the infrastructure crazy mode.
Feng Yong brings the latest news.
"With the Northern Expedition imminent, why would the Central Palace Visitor Ling propose to rebuild the Imperial Academy at this time?"
After hearing the news from Xu Xun that his father proposed to reopen the Imperial College, Feng Yong, wearing a straw hat and walking in the mulberry fields, asked with some confusion.
Is it possible that the financial affluence in recent years has given everyone too much confidence?
Not long ago, Xu Ci gave a memorial to the Emperor of Han Dynasty. Part of the revision of the classical classics had been completed, so that the Imperial Academy could be reopened and scholars could be raised for the country.
Liu Chan handed it over to the ministers and the court for discussion, and all the ministers thought it was good governance.
Liu Chan sent people to send the results of the court meeting to Hanzhong, and Zhuge Liang, the prime minister of the Han Dynasty, also praised him for his kindness.
However, the problem before the Emperor of the Han Dynasty and his ministers was that the Imperial College needed a lot of money and food. Now the imperial treasury was short of money and food, so this proposal had to be put on hold for the time being.
"My little brother doesn't know anything about the adults either."
Xu Xun followed Feng Yong and followed Feng Yong step by step in the mulberry field. When he heard the words, he quickly answered, and at the same time he felt a little worried about the leather boots on his feet.
These are fine boots made of cowhide, a must-have for long journeys.
I ran from Yong'an to Hanzhong, and then from Hanzhong to Yuexun, and these cowhide boots never broke once.
There is so much mud in the ground. I don’t know how much mud I got when I put my foot down.
Feng Yong, who lowered his head to observe the survival situation of the mulberry seedlings carefully, heard this and looked back at him with a deep look in his eyes, "No news?"
Xu Xun was frightened by Feng Yong's look and trembled. He quickly walked forward and said softly, "I only know that your Excellency received a letter from Hanzhong before this. Your Excellency seemed very happy in those days."
Feng Yong nodded, knowing in his heart who the letter was from. If it was Zhuge's instruction that Xu Ci wrote this memorial, there would be no surprise at all.
Xu Ci was an unscrupulous scholar. Even when the emperor privately asked him to help annotate "Unparalleled Loyalty and Righteousness", he agreed wholeheartedly.
Not to mention that Xu Xun had to go all the way to Nanzhong to find Feng Yong.
Is it a good thing to rebuild Taixue?
Of course it's a good thing.
But this Taixue is definitely different from the Taixue of the Later Han Dynasty.
In the Taixue of the Later Han Dynasty, Taixue students studied Confucianism, and they had the privilege of being exempted from taxes and servitude.
Can a poor family at that time be selected into the Imperial Academy? Of course.
But more of them are from wealthy families.
Nowadays, if the Han Dynasty reopens Imperial College, on the surface it is to support the Han Dynasty's scholars, but in fact, the greater function is probably to compete with the aristocratic families for the right to interpret knowledge.
Didn't Xu Ci say that? Part of the revision of the classics has been completed. This information is very important.
Therefore, if Taixue is reopened, it will simply begin to cut off the roots of the family.
Where did Xu Ci get the courage to confront the aristocratic family from the front?
Therefore, there must be someone pushing behind him, and Feng Tubiao could think of this person as Zhuge Lao Yao with his heels.
There was a mulberry seedling under his feet that was suppressed by lumps of soil. Feng Yong squatted down and straightened the mulberry seedling.
Last year and the first half of this year, the fields developed in the Sunshui River Valley were basically on flat land. After all, this is the most convenient.
Feng Yong plans to plant mulberry trees in places that are slightly higher and where canals cannot be opened.
The mulberry branches cut in the beginning of spring have already grown new leaves, and they can be transplanted in the beginning of next spring.
Feng Yong This year's Jincheng and Xinghan Hui have already started trying to raise silkworms in summer, preparing to harvest three seasons of silk in a year.
The younger brothers have the enthusiasm to start their own business, and Feng Yong, as the elder brother, naturally has to give his full support.
Besides, the Sunshui River Valley has a suitable climate and is a good place for sericulture, so these mulberry seedlings are intended to be used to develop sericulture.
"Brother, have you guessed it a long time ago?"
Xu Xun looked at Feng Yong who stood up again and continued walking forward without any change in his face, and asked softly.
Feng Yong smiled, "What's so hard to guess? It was just a guess before, without evidence. Now that you have this news, it's basically inseparable."
This is the advantage of Xing Hanhui. Although Feng Yongren is not in the court, he is extremely well-informed.
Even if he is a minister of the DPRK, he may not be as sensitive as he is in inquiring about information.
Especially the news that is spread privately in the mansions of various powerful people - many times, the gossip is actually the truth.
"Is there any news from Hanzhong?"
"I heard that the Prime Minister went to Nanxiang and listened to lectures in the school for three days. Oh, and I heard that Jiang Bin personally made these purple electric swords sent by my younger brother."
Feng Yong smiled slightly, "Jiang Bin asked himself to be a craftsman to make the Purple Lightning Sword. His apology can be considered sincere."
Regardless of whether Jiang Bin's previous behavior was done privately or with someone else's instructions, Feng Yong would never give in. Even if he was the old demon Zhuge, he would still bar his teeth.
What's more, it's just a big mouth.
Jiang Bin really used the Prime Minister's Palace to get the say in Han Zhongye. Not to mention the creation of this purple electric sword, no matter what he wants to build in the future, he will really be controlled by others.
Zhuge Lao Yao devoted himself to the Northern Expedition and the revival of the Han Dynasty. Hanzhong Metallurgy came into his hands. In addition to making necessary farm tools, the rest must be weapons, weapons, weapons...
But what Feng Tibi was thinking about was infrastructure, technology, infrastructure, technology...
Although the development of weapons and the development of science and technology have a mutually reinforcing effect, Feng Tubao understands it, but the prime minister of the Han Dynasty may not understand it.
And even if the Han Prime Minister understands, he may pretend not to understand.
After all, what Old Demon Zhuge lacks most now is time, but for Feng Yong, he has just turned twenty and still has plenty of time to try.
Therefore, even if two people have the same purpose, the desired process may not be the same.
As for the old demon Zhuge who went to Nanxiang Academy to attend classes for three days, and then Xu Ci received a letter from Hanzhong and finally proposed to reopen the Imperial Academy, there must be a connection.
It seems that Old Demon Zhuge must have had a lot of feelings in Nanxiang!
Thinking of this, Feng Yong frowned slightly again. Since he clearly knew that neither the finances of the imperial court nor the timing would allow the reopening of Imperial College at this time, why did he let Xu Ci make this suggestion at this time, and then return it?
Rejected personally?
In this way, doesn't it let the Shuzhong family get the news in advance?
"Jiang Bin?" Feng Yong was stunned, "What could he do wrong? Forget it, leave him alone. As long as Hanzhongye can build the sword on time before the end of the year."
"Brother, the imperial court cannot open an imperial college for the time being. That is a matter for the imperial court. However, I feel that the students from Nanxiang Academy are indeed useful, but there are too few."
"Many brothers in the guild want to learn from their elder brother and open a similar school in Yuexun. Is it possible?"
Xu Xun rubbed his hands and said with some embarrassment.
"Um?"
Feng Yong finally turned his head seriously this time and looked at Xu Xun, "How many people are there?"
Xu Xun was startled by Feng Yong's serious look, with a slight flinch on his face, "No, not much. If brother doesn't want to, then forget it."
Feng Yong frowned, "I asked you how many of the brothers in your association want to spend money and food to open a school in Yuexun?"
As soon as Xu Xun saw Feng Yong's appearance, he subconsciously felt a dull pain in his legs. At the same time, he glanced at the president's wife standing on the ground facing the wind, and smacked his lips, "No, quite a few, even
Deng Heze also had this intention."
Deng Heze, Deng Liang, the son of Deng Zhi, was the leading figure in Jincheng Xinghan Hall.
Xu Xun looked at Feng Yong's expressionless face, feeling a little regretful, but still feeling swollen!
This year, I got a line from Jincheng to Yong'an, and many people came to ask for help. I became more and more confident. Once those guys encouraged me, I didn't know how much I weighed.
If he really wants to make his brother angry, he wonders if his sister-in-law will break his legs again? Thinking of this, Xu Xun felt a little nervous.
Feng Yong glanced at Xu Xun strangely, "I'm just asking about the situation. Why are you nervous?"
Xu Xun wiped his forehead, "No, I'm not nervous, it's just that it's too hot."
Feng Yong nodded, "It's indeed hot. What's more, you don't even wear a hat and are wearing leather boots. How can it not be hot?"
"The imperial court wanted to open an Imperial Academy but was unable to do so. This shows how much money and food it consumes. The same goes for opening a school. It took Nanxiang Academy four years to reach its current scale. You really want to invest money to open a school in Yuexi
, I have no objection.”
Feng Yong turned around and continued walking forward, trying not to make his voice sound strange.
But no one saw that an uncontrollable smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Damn, someone finally took the bait!
Feng Tubiao was so excited that he couldn't help himself.
Nanxiang School has been in operation for four years, and money and food have been thrown out like water.
If Zhao Guang and himself were not brothers who were closer than their own brothers, if the Li family was not prepared to use Hanzhong to avoid risks, if Wang Xun had no admiration and gratitude for him, if he had not gained a lot of favor with Huang Yueying, if
It’s not that Adou and the Queen have great trust in him, if Guan Ji isn’t his mother-in-law, if Zhang Xingyi doesn’t trust him...cough!
Anyway, it was just like this and so on. In addition to openly deducting a lot of the dividends generated by Nanxiang, they also did a lot of tricks secretly and invested an unknown amount of money and food. Only then did the school and related aspects see some improvement.
The initial investment in the education industry is simply a gold-swallowing monster.
Among them, there are also unscrupulous literati who were packaged and sent over by the He family.
Originally, the school was only able to form a self-circulatory system and be self-sufficient. Now that Feng Yong came to Yuexi, Nanxiang was almost drained of blood.
Although the students who were sent to the three counties in the Sunshui River Valley were in a mess in terms of classics, their pragmatic aspects were unanimously praised.
Besides, in a barbaric land like Yuexi, if you want a piece of classic classics? Just roll up your sleeves and do it!
It's just that Feng Yong was relieved, but Dongfeng Express almost fell to his knees.
In the past, accounting and accounting were all done by school students, and the people in charge of each house just wanted to see if the final figures matched up, which was a relaxing and comfortable experience.
Even Dongfeng Express delivers supplies to Nanzhong Manor, and sometimes families ask the accounting clerk to help with the accounting.
This is just one aspect. The students who come out of the school are not only good at accounting, but also very organized. They are also very alert and learn everything quickly. There is no need to worry about loyalty. For each family, it is even
He is a rare candidate for management.
Just like now, as long as Feng Yong needs it, he can send people to Yuexuan to directly support the management framework of the three counties.
It is a pity that these people are all in the hands of Feng Yong, and now they are used by Feng Yong. The operation of Dongfeng Express seems to have suddenly become a little sluggish, at least not as smooth as before.
It is foreseeable that as Dongfeng Express business continues to expand, the demand for students from Nanxiang Academy will increase. Those who are willing to live a little more lively have even considered the manor of Nanzhong.
In the future, with the expansion of Nanzhong Manor, the demand for manor stewards also increased greatly.
But according to traditional methods, how can it be so easy to find better managers?
After all, it has only been a few years since the dignitaries entered Shuzhong? How can they compare to a noble family with rich background?
Nowadays, the Aristocratic Family is also following the lead of Nanzhong. If we don't make preparations early, it is something that can be seen if Nanzhong Manor is outclassed by the Aristocratic Family.
Realistic needs made the rich and powerful urgently need a school similar to Nanxiang's, a school that could mass-produce accounting houses and stewards for them.
So Xu Xun, who had eaten the most fat recently, was pushed out.
Feng Yong could understand their worries: what was taught in Nanxiang Academy was not the same thing as the knowledge they usually knew.
In the hearts of the younger brothers of the Xinghan Society, this involves the unknown knowledge of their elder brothers. Without the support of their elder brothers, they would never even think about opening a similar school.
Similarly, they were also worried that their brother would misunderstand that they were coveting his knowledge.
So when Xu Xun saw Feng Yong turn around, he started sweating all over.
It's just that the younger brothers of the Xinghan Society have no idea that their brother is wielding a hoe almost day and night in order to poach the family.
After digging for so many years, we have only dug a little bit.
Now that I hear them begging for money, food, and help, I feel happy.
"Brother, how can anyone in this world want to get dividends without investing capital?"
When Xu Xun heard that Feng Yong was willing to relent, he was overjoyed. He quickly stepped forward and said with a smile, "If nothing else, as long as we can get staff from three counties like Yuexun, we are willing to pay no matter how much money we have."
."
"This is related to the foundation of the foundation. You can't invest money and food too much." Xu Xun said, seeing a stone in front of him, he quickly ran over and threw the stone outside the field, for fear that his brother would accidentally kick it.
.
"Are you sure you've thought about it?"
Feng Yong's face was expressionless, like an interviewer examining the fresh graduates who came to apply for the job, and he asked.
"Think about it, brothers are waiting for a reply."
Xu Xun affirmed.
"It's not that I don't believe you, it's just that your family has invested a lot of money and food in these years, right? The year before last, Zhao Erlang and I gave you a lot of money and food. We paid it all back at the end of last year. Where are you now?
Come with so much money and food?”
Dongfeng Express's shareholding, Nanzhong's labor sales, which company has not borrowed money from Feng Yong and others?
Why are Feng Yong, Zhao Guang and the others the leading brothers of the Xinghan Society?
In addition to ability and qualifications, he is also the creditor of these young brothers.
"Brothers, by the end of this year, the manor in Nanzhong will also start to produce output. By then, brother, like the workshops and ranches in Nanxiang, how about deducting it from the share of brown sugar?"
