The situation in Jiangnan has become more serious because of this old friend's instigation, but the situation in Mobei is improving.

In the Mobei Army camp in Quanzhou, without those troublemakers, it can be said that General Lu manages the Mobei Army soldiers very smoothly.

Every morning, you can hear the sound of training coming from the Mobei Army on time.

Such sounds have not happened before, but people across the state don't know why. They just feel that the current training sounds are more uniform and more shocking than the previous training sounds.

As for Xinliang, under the field investigation of Professor Yu Xing and Shu Xiaohan, the location of the mulberry forest was finally determined.

After several other magistrates in Mobei learned about Gu Yuzhi's decision, they did not ask for any reasons. They not only escorted the prisoners in the prison who had committed crimes but did not deserve death, but also brought many people with cuttings. The mulberry tree strips come over.

Gu Yuzhi looked at the several groups of prisoners standing in a row and couldn't help but open his mouth.

He scratched his head and looked at Xie Changshi: "Xie Changshi, is this what you and the other prefects said about planting mulberry trees?"

He put his feet up and stretched his neck to look behind the prisoners, wanting to know how many there were.

However, due to his limited height, he couldn't see behind him at all. He could only guess based on his feeling that there might be over a hundred people.

If there are more than a hundred people, and these mulberry strips are added, maybe a large mulberry forest can be planted this year!

Gu Yuzhi was thinking happily when he heard Xie Changshi say: "I have not told the other magistrates. They should have found out about His Highness's private purchase of mulberry trees."

In Mobei, everyone is paying attention to His Highness's every move. In addition, it is not a secret that he wants to buy mulberry trees and plant mulberry forests. It is not surprising that these prefects would know about it.

Xie Changshi smiled and said: "Your Highness is unaware that several other prefects have also issued orders to plant mulberry groves instead of poplar groves around the official road."

Although the effect of planting mulberry trees around the official road in preventing wind and sand may not be as good as that of poplar trees, it is better than having nothing at all and letting it grow overgrown with weeds.

Of course, the most important thing is that by the time Xin Liang figures out how to make mulberry paper, these mulberry trees will have grown up and can be put to use.

Xie Changshi touched his beard and felt deeply that all these prefects were smart people.

After all, according to his understanding of His Highness, after His Highness has researched the mulberry paper, he will definitely not keep it secretly, but will contribute the production method to the Emperor so that more literati can use better paper... …

Xie Changshi suddenly paused, full of expectations as to whether the mulberry paper could be successfully produced.

Gu Yuzhi was holding his hands behind his back, straightening his back and looking at Guard Qi who was naming the prisoners. He turned around and saw Xie Changshi looking thoughtful.

He blinked: "Xie Changshi, what are you thinking about? Tell me!"

Xie Changshi smiled faintly, knelt down and looked up at Gu Yuzhi: "Your Highness, I think of a way, maybe I can ask Mr. Cheng Bo'an to come out and serve as the dean of Xinliang Academy."

Gu Yuzhi blinked hard and looked at Xie Changshi with eyes full of disbelief. He wondered if he had heard wrongly and even picked his ears indecently. Even if Gu Yuzhi was enlightened not long ago, he still knew the name of Mr. Cheng Bo'an!

Mr. Cheng Bo'an, whose courtesy name is Yunshan and also known as Liuyao Jushi, is the highest-ranking scholar among the great Confucians in the world.

He taught Chinese studies when he was young, and many officials in the current government were his disciples, not to mention his books and poetry collections.

He led his disciples to repair the original copies that were damaged in the war, and promoted the civilization of the Sang Dynasty.

Mr. Cheng Bo'an, that's someone even the emperor dare not offend!

But for such a person, Xie Changshi actually said that he might be persuaded to come to Xinliang College to serve as the dean!

Gu Yuzhi secretly introduced Mr. Cheng Bo'an's status in the hearts of literati to Wen Shu, then stuck out his tongue and complained in a low voice: "Shopkeeper Wen, Teacher Shu, I think Xie Changshi may be crazy."

Otherwise, how could you have such an idea!

Seeing Gu Yuzhi's expression of disbelief, Xie Changshi touched his beard and whispered: "Your Highness, I just said it was possible, and there is a very important prerequisite for asking him to come out, and that is mulberry paper!"

Mulberry paper?

Gu Yuzhi pouted, feeling that Xie Changshi was thinking too much.

Although if mulberry paper is manufactured, it will be easier to use than current paper. But Mr. Cheng Bo'an is not short of money, how could he get out of the mountain because of mulberry paper?

Xie Changshi said in a low voice: "Your Highness does not know something. When the previous dynasty was overthrown, the war was fierce, and the original copies were bamboo slips, which were large and heavy. The scholars were unable to rescue them all, and many of them were damaged."

"Although Mr. Cheng and his disciples have repaired a lot, many of the original copies have completely disappeared. I think that Mr. Cheng should also really hope that there is such a kind of paper that can prevent mosquitoes, not easily penetrate, and is light. It can replace the bamboo slips.”

Mr. Cheng also has many works, but these works are all on bamboo slips, which is inconvenient to read and transport.

But if Sangpizi is successfully produced, and it is really as the young highness said, it will be a great contribution to the world's literati, and Mr. Cheng will definitely look at the young highness with new eyes because of this matter.

In addition, after the young highness came to Mobei, he discovered sweet potatoes, potatoes and cotton. When planted in large quantities, they would be a major event for the benefit of the country and the people. He did not believe that Mr. Cheng would not be tempted!

The more Xie Changshi analyzed, the more he felt that the possibility of success was very high. He smiled as if the matter was already a certainty.

Gu Yuzhi looked at Xie Changshi who was humming a tune and left, and sighed helplessly like a young adult.

Shu Xiaohan was full of encouragement: "Little prince, I think what Xie Changshi said is very likely to come true. You have done so many good things, coupled with your European Emperor's physique, what kind of great scholar really has that? Maybe come."

Gu Yuzhi pouted and walked slowly towards his room. Before he had taken two steps, he heard the guard Qi shouting: "Your Highness, please wait a moment!"

Guard Qi sped up, faced all the prisoners, made some arrangements, and trotted to Gu Yuzhi: "Your Highness, I already have the answer to what I told you before."

Gu Yuzhi tilted his head, looking confused: "What's going on?"

Ever since he knew that Xie Changshi and the others would not leave him, Gu Yuzhi had been enjoying himself every day during this period. He didn't remember what Guard Qi had said to him.

When the Qi guards saw this, they couldn't help but swallowed their saliva: "That's what I said. I said that after the construction of Xinliang is completed, I want to join the army..."
