Traveling through the Three Kingdoms: She brings unlimited supplies to build infrastructure

Chapter 113
Now that the pension has been paid in place, Gongsun Yan has put this matter aside.

He handed the bamboo slips in his hand back to Zhou Xing.

According to usual practice, these documents will be stored in the warehouse after use, waiting for future access.

However, Gongsun Yan only let Zhou Xing stay here temporarily.

In a few days, Zhao Xi will take inventory of the old treasury and will re-copy these heavy and difficult-to-preserve bamboo slips on paper and store them in the treasury.

At that time, she planned to ask the system steward Zhao Xi to hold a class in the village to teach the stewards, including Zhou Xing, how to write common official documents, and slowly popularize paper in the village.

The managers in the village all had a foundation in arithmetic, so they asked Zhao Xixian to teach them how to use Arabic numerals.

She couldn't control other places, but her village still had the right to make the decision, so she would start the pilot from here.

If there are smart and good scholars in management, they can be discovered and promoted through these teaching processes.

Although the Three Kingdoms period at the end of the Han Dynasty was an era of bright talents, the frontier fortress in western Liaoning where Gongsun Yan was located was too remote.

Not to mention her unlucky arrival, basically everyone with a name already has power.

Even if there is no power to belong to, Gongsun Zan is defeated and all territories are lost. There is only one frontier county, Lulong, and Yuan Shaoxiong dominates several continents. No one would be tempted to come here to join her.

Being able to pick up Zhao Yun, the best person to cheat, at the beginning had already exhausted her luck.

Therefore, she had to turn her attention away from those top talents and instead find ways to cultivate them herself.

The establishment of homeschooling and technical schools is the next imperative.

They do not teach classics and history, but only the most basic enlightenment, and then select more intelligent and outstanding people to teach higher-level arithmetic and simple official documents to prepare for the large number of vacancies at the grassroots level.

Those who are not so smart learn various skills based on their personal strengths.

She doesn't expect to find a top talent like Zhuge Liang among them, and plans to focus on quantity instead.

For example, Zhang Ze didn't like to study. Although his military skills were slightly inferior, if he could be assigned a staff team, she didn't think Zhang Ze would lose.

Of course, this is something that happened in the future. Now she is just dreaming about it with the best hope. If she really wants to achieve this level, she doesn't know how much effort and material resources it will take.

Now they haven't even started yet!

Gongsun Yan sighed and adjusted his emotions.

At this time, Aqing Alan, who had come around, also entered the study, while Wang Wu was still guarding the door.

After Ah Qing and Alan met with Gongsun Yan and Zhou, Alan put the black mahogany lacquer box in his hand on the desk, took out the copper pot from the box, and said, "Madam, you have been waiting for a long time."

Knowing that Manager Zhou was there, Alando took a bowl and poured a bowl first for Gongsun Yanhou, then also poured the contents of the copper pot into a bowl for Zhou Xing.

Zhou Xingxing explained to Gongsun Yan for a long time, but he was also anxious and did not refuse to be polite.

Gongsun Yan thought it was honey water at first, and the black lacquered bowl made it difficult to see clearly. After taking a sip, he was surprised to realize that it was not honey water.

It was a slightly sour and sweet, relatively light juice. The taste was very familiar, but Gongsun Yan couldn't remember what it was.

She didn't expect to drink this and was stunned for a moment, "What is this?"

When she asked, Ah Qing became interested, "It's jujube rice."

Ah Qing, perhaps influenced by her mother, has always been very interested in eating and cooking.During the break, Gongsun Yan fed Gongsun Cheng and tasted a little while listening to her introduction.

Only then did Gongsun Yan realize that she had thought too badly about the diet of the people of the Han Dynasty.

There are already a variety of fruits in this era. Although Lone Bamboo Manor is located in a frontier and has a cold climate, it still produces one or two fresh fruits every season.

The fresh fruits produced were too late to be eaten, so apricots, plums, etc. were pickled with honey and made into candied fruits.

Red and soft fruits such as jujube, nai, ringo, etc. are first dried in the sun and then boiled in a large cauldron. Once the water boils, they are filtered out and put into a basin to grind. Then a cloth is used to collect the thick juice and smeared on the plate or basin. Dry in medium sun.

The final product is crushed into powder by hand and mixed with water to make a drink.

There are many jujube trees planted in Lone Bamboo Manor, and they are of good quality.

Hearing what Ah Qing said was interesting, Gongsun Yan took another sip, and then he tasted that it was indeed the flavor of jujube, but the taste was a bit bland.

Gongsunyan complimented her a few times, and she looked proud. Alan pulled her out with a bit of fun.

Gongsun Yan liked both of these maids quite a lot, and she had different positions for them.

Ah Qing has a cute and naive personality, and was influenced by her mother. Gongsun Yan wanted her to be Gongsun Cheng's playmate, and let her learn more cooking skills in the future to see if she could graduate in her skills and help Gongsun Yan take care of the family. kitchen.

Looking at the food of the Han Dynasty through the eyes of future generations, the taste is really average.

It's just that Gongsun Yan often cheats when she is alone, and the food in the trading machine is hot when she buys it, so her demand for food development is not that strong.

Nowadays, she eats sparingly and drinks less, and only drinks rice milk for dinner. The image of a filial woman is maintained steadily.

But since Ah Qing is interested in this area, Gongsun Yan doesn't mind helping her develop in this area.

Alan is different. Alan's character is more thoughtful and thoughtful. Gongsun Yan plans to ask Ah Qing, Alan and Gongsun Cheng to follow Zhao Xi for enlightenment.

If Alan performs well by then, Gongsun Yan plans to train him and become an assistant.

Both girls have their own strengths, so there is no need to stay by her side as a slave.

Gongsun Yan drank all the jujube soup in the bowl, patted Gongsun Cheng gently, and asked him to go and play with A Qing.

I checked my household registration with Zhou Xing again.

"Why are there so many disabled people?" Gongsun Yan frowned as he looked at the contents on the bamboo slips.

Thinking that she was unhappy, Zhou Xing hurriedly explained: "These are General Gongsun's old subordinates who retired from the battlefield. They are the most loyal. Thanks to them, they didn't let anyone occupy the manor before."

What Zhou Xing was talking about was the previous expulsion of Gongsun Xuan and the conflict with some people who couldn't wait to support the new master.

After these disabled veterans left the battlefield, their hometowns were destroyed and they had nowhere to go. Gongsun Zan arranged for them to be sent to two manors, Guzhu and Lingzhi, for retirement as a part of their lives.

It was said that it was just a military unit, but it actually gave them a shelter. After all, how could any armed military unit be missing arms and legs?
And the rent is [-]% less than usual.

Therefore, they were all grateful for Gongsun Zan's kindness and took the initiative to stand up when Gongsun Xuan wanted to move into the main courtyard.
