I was a famous teacher in ancient times

Chapter 438
Ziheng touched the paper, "Newspapers are too expensive for ordinary people to buy."

Now that a newspaper costs fifty cents, the government still loses money.

Yang Xi naturally knew that newspapers were not only expensive for paper, but also printing and other costs, plus manpower checking, etc., calculated one by one, each issue of the newspaper would have to lose a lot of money.

Yang Xi touched his son's hair, "But it's very meaningful."

Therefore, the loss must be made on schedule, and access to information is too important for the closed ancient times.

Ziheng nodded, "My son understands."

Yang Xi sighed, the current government newspaper can't add a messy page, it can only be like this at present, the place of a state is too limited.

After the banquet, Yang Xixuan was in good spirits and showed no sign of drinking too much.

Yang Xixuan sat down and said, "The Yunming family is very happy, and they bid farewell today."

Yang Xi was not surprised, "They are afraid that you will do it."

Yang Xixuan snorted, "That's their guilty conscience."

He's not crazy to start a war now, and he doesn't want to destroy his foundation.

Zhou Yu was more concerned, "Do you have enough wood to build the boat?"

Yang Xixuan shook his head, "Brother-in-law, you also know that I have to build not only merchant ships, but also war ships. No amount of wood is enough."

Zhou Yu knew that it was useless to worry, "It seems that I can only take it slowly."

Yang Xi was even more worried, "I'm afraid that Dezhou will block Ruizhou this time."

Yang Xixuan is not afraid, "Ruizhou can't connect, so you can detour."

He is more concerned about the Ming family, it seems that the Ming family needs bronze, tsk, first the chariot and then the cannon, tacitly calculating the forces in the entire south, the Ming family can only be ranked in the name, now it is necessary to re-evaluate the Ming family strength.

Yang Xi and his wife looked at each other. They knew that Xixuan would not conquer Dezhou peacefully, and would only use the strongest means to conquer Dezhou, not only because the foundation of the Yun family was difficult to deal with, but also because they had to show their fangs to shock the surroundings, so as not to be Xi Xuan is easy to bully at a young age.

In Shanghe Village, Zhou Bing accidentally came to Zhou Mansion by Magistrate Mao himself, "Your Majesty, you can send someone to look for you if you have something to do. You don't have to come in person."

The county magistrate of Mao is not tall. It can be said that the Mao family is below the average height. The Mao family men have strong self-esteem and do not allow their wives to be too tall. This makes the height of the Mao family’s descendants a topic of relish in Fucheng.

Magistrate Mao looked at Zhou Bing's stature, and again felt the malice of the stature gap, he silently took two steps back, and said with a smile, "I was very busy when I first came to Xiangxian, and I was able to come out for a walk in my spare time, so I wanted to see it for myself. I came to Shanghe Village when I saw the new school."

Zhou Bing participated in the reception banquet of the county magistrate Mao. He knew that the magistrate Mao did not dare to treat the Zhou family, but he still had to give him the respect he should give. He stretched out his hand and said, "The magistrate please."

Magistrate Mao nodded with a smile, "I'm sorry to trouble Mr. Zhou."

Zhou Bing smiled, "It's not troublesome, it's just that I need to take a carriage for some distance."

Magistrate Mao looked at the buildings built in the distance, "It's not too far, we walked over, and it happened that I also looked at Shanghe Village."

This is the village where the general settled down, after all, it is different.

Magistrate Mao knew his abilities. He would not do much. He was not a son for himself, but also had a relationship with the Zhou family.

The newly built school occupies a large area. The Zhou family bought the barren fields and replaced the fields with the common people. With their backs against the green hills, one can imagine how big the school is.

The men from the nearby ten miles and eight townships, all the labor that can come, come to build the school. Not only do they have wages every day, but they can also eat a meal. How many people are jealous of the selected men.

Magistrate Mao didn't see the school's drawings, but he would count, "How many students will be recruited?"

Zhou Bing smiled lightly, "Big brother is afraid that there won't be enough space!"

The lord alone will send a lot of students, not to mention the children who came to the eldest brother and sister-in-law.

Magistrate Mao was very fortunate. Fortunately, the Mao family surrendered quickly. However, "Mr. Zhou also knew that the yamen wanted to recruit some lower-level officials. I received an unexpected form."

Zhou Bing already knew who it was, "The magistrate doesn't need to care."

Magistrate Mao understood and asked him not to release water.

It seems that the Zhong family, he doesn't need to pay more attention.

Time flies, and it is another five days. The orphanage house in charge of Yang Xi has been built, and many orphans came to help during the construction.

After the house is built, there will be no need for craftsmen and common people, only a few carpenters are needed to make doors and windows, such as making adobe, etc., all done by the orphans themselves.

Because Yang Xi found that the orphans were very tired, but they built their own homes together, and the children already had a sense of cohesion and belonging, so he happily distributed the rest of the work to the orphans.

Don't underestimate the orphans in ancient times, the children of ancient times were precocious, and the wanderers were more aware of the warmth and affection of human beings, and soon several leaders were elected.

Yang Xi didn't have time to stare all the time, so he sent people to look after the children and listened to reports from time to time.

While Yang Xi was pleased that the children took care of themselves, he also had a headache about the expenses of the orphanage. There was enough food, but quilts and clothes were very scarce.

After sewing and mending for three years, three years and three years, a piece of clothing can no longer be broken, and it also has its final value. It can be said that the fabric is used to the extreme.

When Zhou Yu came back, he saw his daughter-in-law frowning, "What's wrong?"

Yang Xi raised his head, "I'm back, have you negotiated with the Zhao family?"

Zhou Yu nodded, "It has been negotiated with the Zhao family, and the Zhao family will help us find plants such as rubber."

Yang Xi's brows loosened, "One more thing done."

Zhou Yu curled his lips, "The Zhao family has a lot of appetite, and they want to monopolize the Ruizhou market, but who asked the Zhao family to give too much."

So much that he chose to cooperate with the Zhao family without much thought.

Yang Xi was also surprised, "The Zhao family is very optimistic about Xixuan."

Zhou Yu grinned, "Who gave Xi Xuan this potential!"

Yang Xi motioned to Zhou Yu to squeeze his shoulders, "I have been writing recently, and my shoulders are very uncomfortable."

Zhou Yu used his strength, "Put out the bamboo cupping another day."

Yang Xi, ". I refuse."

She would rather pull porcelain than bamboo, it hurts too much, she can't stand it anyway.

Zhou Yu, "I think it's pretty good."

It hurts a little bit, but it really works.

Yang Xi shook his head, "No, no, I don't need it."

Zhou Yu coaxed, "Okay, okay, listen to you."

Bai was blind and he had memorized the acupuncture points. When Mr. Yu pulled it out for him, he memorized it very carefully and silently.

Yang Xi's shoulders no longer hurt, so he said that the orphanage was short of supplies, "I wonder if I should organize a fundraiser?"

Zhou Yu shook his head, "No, the temperature is good now, and the children are not afraid of the cold. I will let Liu Shu collect some cloth, and then let the children wash the wool and change the cloth."

Yang Xi nodded, "That's fine, counting the days, the wool should arrive."

As soon as the couple finished talking, the wool entered Ruizhou, and they will arrive in Fucheng soon.

On this day, Yang Xixuan said about Ye Shun, "Ye Shun has arranged for the Geng family to go south."
