The capital of the Qi Kingdom was Shicheng.

This is a city different from Dayan.

On the periphery of the city, there are endless tents, which belong to the outer city.

In the inner city, they followed the example of Dayan in building walls, but they did not know how to bake bricks and used only stones.

Hence the name, Stone City.

The capital of Qi State was very large, and it was also very strict. It was divided into a palace, a place where officials lived, a place where common people lived, and a place for mutual trade.

At this time, in a slightly remote place where officials lived, Liu Yunde was urging the carpenters to get the spinning wheels and looms out as soon as possible according to the drawings.

Once redeemed by Prince Urgan and Sarman, Liu Yunde was spared from being executed in Dayan, but his treason became an ironclad fact.

However, as long as he can survive, Liu Yunde doesn't care.

He had been an official in Dayan for most of his life and had not achieved anything. He was still just a scholar. However, when he arrived in Shicheng of Qi State, his status as Dayan, although he was hostile, was also reused.

Not only did he follow Urgan's arrangements to teach Chinese and Chinese characters in a school in this area, but he was also responsible for supervising the construction of spinning wheels and looms.

The carpenters in Shicheng have poor craftsmanship.

Unlike Da Yan's master, he can make it according to the drawings.

The things these people make are of little use and often have problems.

After continuous improvement, it finally took shape, but it was still different from the spinning wheels and looms in Lihua Village, Lanshan County.

But it's barely passable, and we need to continue to improve in the future.

"This is silver, take it." Liu Yunde gave each of them two taels of silver. These carpenters were from the bottom of Shicheng.

He might not be able to earn two taels of silver a year, so Liu Yunde directly gave each of the three carpenters two taels of silver.

"Thank you, sir!" Jin Dou, the carpenter, thanked him quickly. "If you have any instructions from me in the future, I will definitely go through fire and water without hesitation."

"You don't need to go through fire and water. You should improve the spinning wheel and use your brains to make the spinning wheel smoother and more durable. With this thing, you can spin more threads and weave more cloth, and then you can earn more for your master. A lot of money.”

"Yes, sir, we will study it carefully." Jin Dou agreed quickly. However, their abilities were limited. If they could do this, they would be risking their lives.

Of course Liu Yunde could see Jin Dou's perfunctory polite words, and then smiled, "I know you think it's too difficult and don't want to do it."

"This is a great achievement. If it can be improved to be as smooth and strong as the one in Dayan, I will allow each of you to have a child and send it to the school where I teach."

"In the future, if you learn to read and practice martial arts, you can become an official or a general. You won't have to live at the bottom and be bullied like you."

"Of course, if you don't want to, I can't do anything to you. After all, if a cow doesn't drink water, I can't hold your head and force you to drink water."

Jin Dou, who was still casual at first, widened his eyes after hearing Liu Yunde's words and asked hurriedly: "Sir, are you telling the truth?"

The state of Qi is now also studying Yan and can pass the exam to become an official.

There are literary exams and martial arts exams.

Compared with Da Yan, there were more literary styles and education. There were too many literati taking the imperial examinations, but not many people taking the military examinations.

Qi State is a grassland nation, and there are particularly many people taking the martial arts exam, far more than Qi State's literary exam.

There are many people in Qi who are good at riding and shooting, so the competition is fierce.

The literary test not only tests the writing and content of Qi Guo, but also the content of Da Yan.

If you don't understand the situation of Qi State, you cannot govern Qi State.If you don't understand Da Yan's situation, you won't be able to invade Qi State, and you won't be able to communicate with Da Yan smoothly.

It is easier to learn the content of Qi Guo, but it is difficult to understand the content of Dayan.

After all, Dayan has a vast territory and a lot of knowledge.The literate or famous scholars they captured were all arranged to teach.There are only three scholars like Liu Yunde in the school where he works, and they have the highest honor.

The teachers there are all the children of officials, which is why Jin Dou was very excited after hearing Liu Yunde's words.

As long as you enter that school, you can basically get an official position.

It's just like the kind of school district housing in later generations. As long as you get in, the teachers are strong, and as long as your children can keep up, they can get into a good high school or a good university.

"Of course it's true." Liu Yunde painted a pie for these three people, and he can still use these three people in the future.

If you want a horse to run, you must feed it.

Even if no food is given, a carrot must be hung in front of the donkey to lead the donkey to keep running forward.

Jin Dou and others knelt on the ground, "Dare you die for your Excellency! We are all Han Chinese snatched from Dayan by Qi State. Because we have some skills, we worked hard for five years before we were allowed to enter the inner city and became Qi State's A lowly craftsman.”

"Our identity cannot leave the inner city, and our children and grandchildren probably won't be able to go back. Since we stay in Stone City, we must live a decent life and climb up."

"Now that Your Excellency intends to promote us, of course we are willing to die for Your Excellency."

When Liu Yunde saw the three people kneeling down, he did not help them up. "We all came from Da Yan. Now we have become Qi people, but they will not regard us as real Qi people."

"But none of this is important. As long as we have the ability, we can still gain a foothold in Qi Country. If you are willing to follow me, then I will go up too and I won't treat you badly."

The three people were grateful and expressed their loyalty, "Don't worry, sir, we will continue to study spinning wheels and looms even if we don't eat or drink."

This is not only done for Liu Yunde, but also for the future of the children of the three families.

After talking to these three people, Liu Yunde asked his servants to carry the spinning wheel and loom to the carriage.

Liu Yunde returned to the house, put on a green shirt, arranged his hair, and then tied it with a jade hairpin.

Recently, I was a little tanned and dry from the sun. After Liu Yunde washed his face, he applied a layer of moisturizer on his face and put on a little powder to make himself whiter.

Although he is 36 this year, Liu Yunde has never experienced hardship.

He has good looks again, and with this arrangement, he looks younger.

Although he is not as good as when he was in his 20s, he is much better than the rough guy from Qi country.

Liu Yunde, who has been living a life of soft food, knew that his talents should be reused, but he had no power to rely on, which made him extremely insecure.

After thinking about it, I still feel that I should find a powerful woman to get married.

By the way, Prince Salimman’s sister recently lost her husband. This person is also the sister of the current king of Qi State.

In Dayan, that is the princess.

I am 28 this year. Although I am young, my skin is darker and my body is stronger.

Not ugly in appearance, but not good-looking either.Far worse than Li Xiaoyue and Widow Wang.

But it doesn't matter, Princess Hongxia has a distinguished status.

As long as he marries Princess Hongxia, he will have another backer in Qi State and will be more confident.

Liu Yunde held a folding fan in his hand, which Liu Yunde asked Jin Dou to make for him.

Not refined, but not bad.

There are no surprises here in Qi State, it's very rough.

In fact, this is also caused by the natural environment. People are busy making a living and fighting against nature. How can they have time to tinker with these flashy things all day long? (End of chapter)
