In the morning, Xiao Yiran was woken up by a slight abdominal pain, and when he woke up, he found that he still had the slenderness of the satellite in his mouth. Xiao Yiran understood that it should be lingering in the night, and he moved his tires slightly. Next, Xiao Yiran no longer dared to call the guards to come to bed.

On the morning of August 19, Xiao Yiran and Xiao An led Xiao Ming and Xiao Yue to walk around the palace, and as soon as they returned to the palace and sat down, they saw Li Yu running to report:

"Emperor, in the morning, the river suddenly flooded, and the horse farm was flooded."

Xiao Yiran was immediately shocked and blurted out:

"Didn't you be commanded to keep an eye on the river? How could such a thing still happen? Is there a loss of personnel and war horses? ”

"I have been monitoring the weather and the river, and there has not been a single heavy rain recently, and the people who monitor the river are a little lazy, and when they find that the river has suddenly increased upstream, it is too late to move the horses. Four old horses and two foals are missing, and no one is missing. ”

"This is your dereliction of duty, go to the Treasury yourself and be punished. Those responsible for managing the horse farm, as well as those who monitor the river, are also punished. And put the notice of your punishment in the square. ”

This is the first time that Xiao Yiran has punished his subordinates and clansmen since he was elected as the patriarch. It just so happened that this matter involved Li Yu, and it was more convincing to take his man first.

After the racecourse was flooded, Xiao Yiran thought about it for a few days and knew that it was a little difficult to leave the matter of monitoring the river situation to the racecourse. The people of the racecourse can only pay attention to the local weather conditions, if it is a sudden heavy rain in the upper reaches and the water of the river rises, by the time the people of the racecourse find out, it is often too late to deal with it. After thinking about it, he decided to leave this matter to Tian Yuan's intelligence department. Immediately ordered someone to send Tian Yuan.

"Tian Yuan, I ordered you to investigate the affairs of the ethnic groups along the river, can you make progress?"

"Tell the emperor, on the south bank of the Great River, within thousands of miles up and down, no strong ethnic groups have been found, but some scattered ethnic groups have been found more than two thousand miles upstream. The north bank of the river has also sent people to investigate, but no news has come back. ”

"You can't relax, you have to do your best to find out."

"Yes, Emperor."

"You've heard about the flooding of the racecourse, right?"

"I heard that, Emperor."

"Next, it's up to your intelligence department to monitor the river. Don't worry about it downstream. Along the riverbank, a testing station was set up every 100 miles, extending upwards for 500 miles, and as soon as there was a situation, it was immediately reported to Li Yu, and there must not be a similar incident of the second flooding of the racecourse. If there is a mistake, you are the only one who asks. ”

"Yes, Emperor."

"If you need manpower, ask Li Yu for it."

After sending Tianyuan away, Xiao Yiran said to Xiao An on the side:

"An, after you go back, you must always pay attention to the water situation of the Mengyue River, the water and fire are ruthless, don't make a mistake similar to the flooding of the horse farm."

"I will, Emperor. Since the emperor moved away, I have ordered Xiang Lin to send people to monitor the changes in the river at all times. ”

"That's good. It's time to prepare for your birth. How many days are left? ”

"Half a month at most. If it is not extended, it should be eight days later. ”

In order to prevent Xiao An from having an accident during childbirth, Xiao Yiran immediately took action. first sent Xuanyun and told her to carefully prepare the items needed for Xiao An's delivery, and at the same time to choose the delivery personnel in advance. He also ordered Xiao Chun and the others to prepare a delivery room for Xiao An, as well as a qiē item needed for the baby.

"Ann, none of your men are around, do you want to send someone to pick them up?"

Xiang Lin had already returned to the Mengyue River station on the third day after worshiping the moon to the gods, and all Xiao Yiran asked.

"Don't, Sister Yuran guards me, Xiao An is the most at ease."

"Hehe, okay, I'll watch over you."

Xiao An's childbirth was quite smooth, although because the fetus was a little obese and the delivery time was long, which made Xiao An cry out in pain for most of the day, and finally gave birth to a baby girl. In this matriarchal era dominated by women, giving birth to a daughter in the first child still made Xiao An very happy.

"Sister Ran, the heavens follow people's wishes, and she really gave birth to a daughter. I'm going to let Xiao Ming take a look another day. ”

The weak Xiao An still doesn't forget what he said to Xiao Yiran at the beginning.

"Well, rest well, wait until your body recovers, and then think about other things. Have you come up with a name for your child? ”

"No, let's give her a name."

Xiao Yiran thought about it and said to Xiao An:

"Why don't you call it Xiao Longnu? Although he was born here in Wangshan, he was conceived by Longshan, and in the future, it is estimated that he will grow up to at least five or six years old on the side of Longshan. ”

"Okay, it's called Xiao Longnu, a good name, I like it."

Xiao Yiran was thinking in his heart that Xiao Longnu, Xiaolongnu, was affected by the cartoon before rebirth. Thinking of this, Xiao Yiran thought again, is it time to build a school? Although the kindergarten has already been built, the school has not started. The point is that it's hard to find a teacher. If you want to build a school, you have to train a group of teachers. I couldn't find the right person to do the job for a while. Although Xuan Yi is more suitable, it is just that there are many things in the Ministry of Finance, and no one can replace Xuan Yi for a while. Besides, Xiao Yiran still wants to keep Xuanyi, which will be of great use in the future, and she can't be put in charge of such things as training teachers.

Why don't you let your eight maids try it first? Spring, summer, autumn and winter, Meilan Zhuju eight people, since following Xiao Yiran, in the past few years, have learned a lot of knowledge.

At the next elders' meeting, Xiao Yiran put forward his idea, and after being unanimously approved by the members of the presbyterian church, Xiao Chun, Xiao Dong, Xiao Mei and Xiao Lan were selected from the eight maids to become the first batch of teachers. The school is built right next to the kindergarten.

It's just that in choosing the first batch of children to enter the school, Xiao Yiran made it difficult again. There are nearly 1,000 children under the age of 12 and over the age of 6. If they are sent to school together, not only will the classroom not be enough, but the four of them will not be enough in the spring and winter.

After several discussions with the presbyterian church, ten more literate female members of the clan were selected to join the teaching team. The fourteen-member teaching team, facing nearly 1,000 students, although it is still a little difficult, fortunately, the courses set up by Xiao Yiran for them are relatively simple, mainly literacy and simple addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. In addition, a part-time teacher from each department is assigned to take turns to teach students about farming, hunting, textiles, sanitation, and breeding every day. This part of the part-time personnel was first selected from Xiao Yiran's personal guards who were responsible for supervising the work in various departments.

Since there are kindergartens and schools, it has become imperative to establish a Ministry of Education. As for the candidate for the minister of the Ministry of Education, after repeated consideration and investigation, Xiao Yiran chose Wei Nan. Although Wei Nan has always been not fond of talking, he is serious in his work, and he has been working very hard to learn literacy and arithmetic, this is the first time that Xiao Yiran has arranged for his man to be the head of a department.

As for whether there is adulteration in it, because Wei Nan is Xiao Yue's biological father, only Xiao Yiran knows it in his heart.
