Of course, Bai Du didn't know that Guo Zhiyuan had crossed the golden finger, it was actually easy to guess this, in his opinion, all this can only be explained by the will of heaven, and he knelt down for Guo Zhiyuan with a "plop" sound, but this time he knelt on his knees, and said excitedly with tears in his eyes: "If it is really my grandfather who has a spirit in the sky, guiding me to be loyal to the adult, so that I can realize the last wish of the first grandfather, from then on I am the lackey of the adult, let the adult drive!" Never betray your lords! If you violate this oath, the heavens and the earth will be destroyed! ……”

Guo Zhiyuan looked at Baidu with some tears and laughter, people in this era like to associate with ghosts and gods when they encounter things they can't understand, but in this way, he doesn't have to worry about Baidu's loyalty, and it is undoubtedly a great thing for him to be able to subdue a subordinate who is loyal to him and quite capable, not to mention that Baidu is also likely to know some big secrets of the "Pirate King" Wang Zhi, and the benefits are immeasurable, so he didn't bother to explain, and hurriedly helped Baidu up, and said sincerely: "Brother Bai, don't be like this, Brother Bai is talented, it is my luck to be able to assist me, I should regard Brother Bai as a henchman of the humerus, and I will mention it again when the lackey says Hugh! ……”

Baidu became more and more heartbroken, stood up and arched his hand towards Guo Zhiyuan movingly, but he didn't say anything more, loyalty is not necessary to be on his lips all the time, just put it in his heart. Xu Guangqi on the side also hurriedly stepped forward to congratulate him: "Congratulations to Gongzi for getting another strong help, with the help of Baixian Cheng, Gongzi will definitely be able to open up the situation in Gutian soon and make contributions!" ……”

Guo Zhiyuan got the great help of Baidu, and he was quite happy, and laughed: "Mr. and Brother Bai are my right-hand men, with two great talents to help, why worry about big things!" This time, the bandits have captured a lot, and two hundred bandit prisoners have been collected, and we have some capital, so I will let people inform Mr. Zhao and them, and everyone will sit down and discuss it, and make a development plan for the next step......"

After a while, these backbone elements under Guo Zhiyuan came, because they wanted to discuss the next development plan, so this time the people arrived very well, even Shen Lingyu and Master Daguan also notified them, and everyone was a little surprised to see Bai Du, but since Guo Zhiyuan asked Bai Du to participate in their small team discussion, he must also be a trustworthy person, so he didn't say anything.

Guo Zhiyuan looked at his small team is also heroic, compared with the poor and white when he first came, he is now a small capital, everyone here he has a lot of use, with this capable team, his grand cause can be slowly unfolded, everyone is full of excitement looking at Guo Zhiyuan, they followed Guo Zhiyuan thousands of miles to Gutian also want a good future, now Guo Zhiyuan's career has improved, they are naturally happy, and the cohesion of the team is naturally stronger!

Guo Zhiyuan stood up, arched his hand to everyone and said loudly: "You will not give up, follow me all the way to Gutian, even if the conditions are difficult, I have never given up, and now the situation has finally improved compared to when we first arrived in Gutian, for our next development plan, I have some ideas, I want to discuss with you, what do you think, you can also boldly put forward it later......

"I'll talk about the first big thing first, the expansion of the county school! Education is the foundation of the country, but also the foundation of the country's development, before we had no money, now we have money, so the first thing I want to do is to expand the county school! Moreover, I promised the regimental training township soldiers that I would let their children go to the county school for free, and now I can fulfill my promise! Not only can the children of the regimental training township soldiers come to the county school to study, but the children of other people can also accept them if they want to come to study, but they have to charge some tuition fees appropriately, and Mr. Xu will be responsible for this matter! ……”

Everyone was stunned, Guo Zhiyuan's idea is really shocking, in this era, not everyone can read, the county school does not accept the children of ordinary people at all, and the children of ordinary people can only go to private schools if they want to study, and the people can't even eat, how can they have the money to send their children to private schools? Moreover, the teachers of the private school are all talents who can't get fame, and the level is naturally not high, and even the teachers can't get fame, can you expect the students he teaches to be able to get fame? And if you can't get fame, you can't change the fate of the common people, so the common people are not very interested in sending their children to private schools.

In order to consolidate its rule, it is impossible for the ruling class to run large-scale government schools, so Guo Zhiyuan's move must be attacked, of course, Guo Zhiyuan can play a side game and expand the county school in the name of running a private school, charging only a small amount of tuition, and can also gag other people's mouths.

Xu Guangqi frowned and said: "Childe's move is certainly a good and righteous act, but I am afraid that it will be criticized, and if such a large-scale enrollment of students is carried out, the existing county professors will definitely not be ......."

Guo Zhiyuan waved his hand and said: "We expanded the county school in the name of running a private school, anyway, we didn't use public funds, all of them came out of this seizure, I am not afraid of criticism, the original county professors are all some rotten Confucians, I didn't plan to use it, what good students can Gu Zhiqian and others teach?" We can pay to hire some talents to teach students literacy and enlightenment, and the four books and five classics will be taught by Mr. and Brother Bai in turn......"

As soon as Xu Guangqi was about to speak, Guo Zhiyuan preemptively said: "I know that Mr. and Brother Bai have limited energy, you only need to spare an hour every day to teach, in addition to the Four Books and Five Classics, I am also ready to open other courses, I very much agree with Mr. Yang Ming's statement that knowledge and action are one, and the students we teach cannot be rotten Confucianism who is not diligent and does not distinguish between grains and grains, but should be a comprehensive talent with all-round development of morality, intellect and body, who can fight on a horse, can read when he gets off a horse, can hunt in the mountains, can farm in the field, can write poems with a pen, and can kill the enemy with a knife!" For example, Mr. Zhao can teach his principles, Fa Zheng can teach his martial arts, Dr. Shen can teach medical knowledge, and I will teach it myself......"

Everyone was even more stunned, they had heard that there were so many miscellaneous courses to learn when reading, and Guo Zhiyuan had to teach in person, but Xu Guangqi's eyes lit up, and he had a strong interest in Guo Zhiyuan's idea, he wanted to know what the students taught according to Guo Zhiyuan's idea would be like? He nodded and said, "Childe's idea is quite innovative, so let's try it, in addition to the Four Books and Five Classics, I can also teach mechanical principles......"

Even Xu Guangqi didn't object, and others wouldn't object, Guo Zhiyuan continued: "The second major thing is to open a workshop, and Mr. Zhao will be responsible for this matter, I will let Wang Xi assist you, Mr. is mainly responsible for research and development, recruiting craftsmen, purchasing materials and other miscellaneous tasks you will hand over to Wang Xi to do, the workshop is divided into two parts, one is military, the other is civilian, the military is mainly to develop and manufacture firearms, ordinary weapons we can buy from outside, civilian is mainly to develop and manufacture new machinery that can improve efficiency, For example, the four-wheeled carriage and bicycle that I had already provided to Mr. had already provided to him...... I'll give Mr. Zhao five thousand taels of silver first, and then add if it's not enough! ……”
