I was a famous teacher in ancient times

Chapter 533 Inheritance
Time flies, and Yang Xi and his wife received gifts from Xixuan from Jingzhou, two boxes of books and letters, some antique calligraphy and paintings, and the last gift was very special.

Yang Xi looked at the 53 people who were sallow and emaciated. There were men and women among the 53 people. Everyone was so thin that they looked like they could be blown down by a gust of wind.

The age span of the 53 people is a bit wide, there are old men with gray hair, and teenagers who look like seventeen or eighteen.

Zhou Yu held the roster of 53 people in his hand, and the information of 53 people was recorded on the back of the roster, "Take a look."

Yang Xi took it over and looked at the roster quickly. The first page introduced these people. 53 people came from the exile village in Lizhou. After the troubled times, the people in the exile village hid in an organized way. Fortunately, more than 200 people escaped at the beginning, but now only more than 100 people survive.

In troubled times, there is a lack of food and clothing, and the weather has been abnormal in the past few years. The weak and sick passed away.

Yang Xi flipped through the roster, her eyes became brighter and brighter, and she glanced at a few old men. There were craftsmen who were convicted from the Ministry of Industry. These appeared in front of her, indicating that these people were willing to teach apprentices.

After reading the roster, Yang Xi had a good idea, and said to Guanshi Xue: "You take them to wash and rest first."

After steward Xue took the people away, Yang Xi asked the boy to go and ask the doctor in the mansion to show them.

In the past two years, several doctors have been raised in the mansion, so Yu Fei was able to leave Fucheng for Jiaozhou.

Zhou Yu had already read the letters between Xixuan and his eldest son, and pointed to the gift in front of him, "There are still things from Ziheng inside."

Yang Xi smiled after reading the letter, "This kid has also made a fortune."

Zhou Yu has already found out the gifts his son gave to the couple, including the porcelain he likes, and the jade stones his wife likes.

Yang Xi asked Jiang to re-register with the form in his hand, and his eyes fell on the fabric, "The date of Qin Bing and Geng Liao's marriage is set, and I should also prepare a dowry for Geng Liao."

Zhou Yu scanned the antiques, "I'll also pick some for Qin Bing as a betrothal gift."

The couple looked at each other and smiled, this is really left handed and right handed.

Waiting for the returned gifts to be registered in the warehouse, Yang Xi and his wife listened to the doctor's report. Each of the 53 people had some problems. The same problem was weak spleen and stomach, which meant that the 53 people had to be taken care of carefully.

Yang Xi asked the doctor to prescribe the medicine, and asked Jiang to prepare the digested food and send it over.

These people have been raised for two days, and their faces have some blood. Yang Xi only met a few craftsmen, but no one else. Except for a few craftsmen, the others will be sent to Shanghe Village after a few more days.

Among these people are future officials that Xixuan is optimistic about. However, these people have to go to the school to study for at least half a year before they can participate in the official assessment.

Yang Xi and his wife met a few craftsmen together, and the craftsmen were not from the same family, with two surnames, Chen and He.

Yang Xi could see that the five of them were very nervous, "Don't be nervous, we have already understood your affairs, and you don't need to continue to live in fear in the future."

Mr. Chen is the oldest. He has experienced too much. He is only wary of the rich and powerful, and he doesn't care if he listens.

Zhou Yu had a panoramic view of the reactions of several people. These craftsmen were different from Mr. Han's family. Mr. Han still wanted to restore his glory, but these craftsmen only wanted to live.

Zhou Yu cleared his throat, "I know you were wronged when you were exiled, you were just implicated."

He was sentenced to exile just because he was implicated, and the scapegoats in the corruption case of the Ministry of Industry had already been executed.

Mr. Chen moved his ears. Even if he entered the Ministry of Industry, his status as a scholar, agriculturist, and businessman is still not high.

Zhou Yu sighed, "At the beginning, the imperial court didn't value you, which caused you to almost break the inheritance. Fortunately, God has eyes, you are willing to teach apprentices to prove that you don't want to break the inheritance. What I promise now is empty words, I believe After a long time, you will understand."

He will not open his mouth to make people give up their hatred and vigilance, it is unrealistic, these people believe what they see even more.

Yang Xi got Zhou Yu's hint, and took out the newly forged steel, "This is forged through continuous improvement of the smelting furnace, please have a few masters take a look."

Mr. Chen's unwavering eyes became brighter, he stretched out his hand and then retracted it, but his eyes did not leave Mr. Yang's hand.

Mr. Chen's son's eyes widened, and he looked at his father. Seeing that his father did not move, he could only watch helplessly.

Yang Xi was very satisfied with everyone's reaction, Zhou Yu got up and put the steel in front of several master craftsmen, "This is newly smelted, please take a good look."

Mr. Chen finally couldn't help holding it in his hand. After careful inspection and tapping, he said with certainty: "This is steel."

Zhou Yu and his wife naturally knew that steel had appeared a long time ago, but the output of smelting technology in the manufacturing industry was very low, and there was not much information about it. This technology was a secret, and only a few people controlled it.

Mr. Chen knew that because of the inheritance, the handwriting of the Chen family has been passed down for a long time. Later, the imperial court reduced the money for making weapons, and did not pay attention to the low-yield steel. Mr. Chen only saw a few sporadic ones in the Ministry of Industry. finished product.

Mr. Chen's eyes were burning, "Have you mastered the technology?"

Zhou Yu made an invitation with a smile, "Would you like to visit the new smelting furnace?"

Mr. Chen's excited mood calmed down, and he felt his son pulling his clothes, "Please arrange it, sir."

Yang Xi smiled. God knows how excited the couple are when they know the abilities of several master masters. They can get rid of the smelting in the future, and they can cultivate more smelting craftsmen today.

Zhou Yu didn't have time to take people to Ling County in person. He arranged for people to escort the craftsmen to Ling County, and at the same time sent a doctor to follow them. These craftsmen are treasures. If they weren't implicated in exile, these craftsmen would not be able to escape. The fate of genocide.

Sometimes it is a blessing rather than a disaster, and vice versa, a disaster can become a blessing.

Zhou Yu had just sent away a few craftsmen, and Zhao Chang arrived in Ruizhou Fucheng. This time, Zhao Chang did not come by himself, but brought important officials from Jinzhou with him.

Yang Xixuan formally took over Jinzhou as part of the ruling territory.

After Zhao Jiang settled down, he came to visit the Yang Mansion the next day, and officially took over Jinzhou, which was set on an auspicious day three days later.

In the past two years, Yang Xi and his wife had a good relationship with Zhao Jiang, mainly because Zhou Yu and Zhao Jiang became good friends.

Zhao Jiang brought some Jinzhou specialties, "Don't be disgusted, Jinzhou has just developed."

Zhou Yu likes Jinzhou tea very much, "You wrote in your letter that you found your son, congratulations."

Zhao Jiang's joy of seeing his friends disappeared, and Yang Xi looked at it, "What happened?"

Zhao Jiang's face was very ugly, "My wife may have been murdered."

Yang Xi's eyes widened. Zhao Jiang's letter did not say that his wife was dead, "Why did she die?"

Zhao Chang, "My parents said they rolled down the hillside. I have doubts in my heart. My mother said that the Liu family found my wife's body."

Zhou Yu asked, "Have you checked it out?"

Zhao Jiang was restless, "I have no evidence, and the Liu family is fine these days, but I just feel uneasy."
