Uncle Ma and four villagers led eight children around the age of ten to the town to find Chen Xu.

At this time, Chen Xu was explaining to the doctor how to deal with the various medicinal materials he had purchased, and asked a few strong young men to use stone mills and stone mortars to clean some of these medicinal materials and grind them into powder, and then put them in different categories.

"Xiao Xu, I'll hand over these babies to you, if you don't obey, you can beat them hard, there's nothing to say!" Uncle Ma repeatedly admonished.

Chen Xu had a slight toothache when he heard this, which was exactly the same as what his parents sent to school and said to the teacher when he was a child when he was in elementary school, so he could only smile and say: "Don't worry, uncle, I will take care of them!" ”。

However, these children are skins, but they have suffered hard since they were children, they are thin like monkeys, their mental state is very good, and they are never lazy in their work.

"By the way, this is the mosquito net that your mother braided, I brought it to you! There are also some sun-dried and cut herbs. Uncle Ma took out a roll of silk mosquito nets wrapped in linen cloth from the basket, and then several villagers also opened the lids on several rattan baskets, revealing the various medicinal herbs inside.

"Doctor Xu came over and helped collect these medicinal materials from Xiaohe Village!" Chen Xu didn't even look at it, and raised his hand to summon the doctor.

The doctor's name is Xu Yuan, almost fifty years old, and he is an old Chinese medicine doctor in the next generation, but unfortunately there is no systematic theory of Chinese medicine at this time, and the medicinal properties of various medicinal materials are also not understood...... There is no then, some seriously ill stuffed and hung up, of course, there is no medical trouble in this era, and if you die, you will die, and the family members will cry and cry and carry it back to dig a pit and bury it, and then find the pavilion chief to register and forget it.

The doctor is always old, but he is still very discerning, and he knows that these people are from the same village as Lord Lidian, so he looked at it randomly, and then weighed it.

The Qin Dynasty weighed with a knob crossbar scale, and the later generations of Chen Xu saw the same, by the government unified production and distribution, do not allow the people to carve the scales privately, not only the scale rod has a fixed standard, the length of the size must be strictly required, the scale is made by the craftsman Shaofu unified custom weight, each county must be built in accordance with strict requirements, there must be no difference and then sent to the county and township levels, of course, this statement must be a little exaggerated, the difference will definitely be a little, but it will definitely not be too big, because each scale is engraved with the name of the craftsman, If there is a mistake that is too obvious, the penalty is very severe.

After some weighing, the doctor paid for it, and Uncle Ma and several villagers got more or less coins, which were all dug in the village in the past few days, not too much, but the sum of all the money was more than 100 yuan, and every household could share some of it when they took it back, and they could almost buy a bucket of salt.

Seeing off a few smiling villagers, Chen Xu began to get busy again.

These eight children, five boys and three girls, although they were already wearing the best clothes, were still in tatters, and they still needed to arrange for the women of the town to sew a decent set of clothes for them, of course, someone naturally did this for them.

After leading a few children from the same village to the newly renovated courtyard next to them and giving a few words, a middle-aged man took the children away to measure their height and arrange a place to live.

"Old Chen, I will hand over these children to you, learn literacy and arithmetic in the morning, and follow Niu Quan to learn abacus in the afternoon, if you are naughty, you can punish it, but remember not to be too heavy!" Chen Xu said to the old man who explained to him the knowledge of the laws of the Qin Dynasty every time.

"Don't worry, since the old man is the director of this elementary school, he will naturally do his best!" The old man's face was full of excitement.

Chen Xu had consulted him when he was repairing this Qinghe Town Primary School, as one of the three elders in the town, Old Man Chen was still very excited, although Chen Xu's approach was unprecedented in Daqin, allowing some farmers and children of ordinary families to read and write, but it was an excellent opportunity for him to improve his reputation, you must know that the opening of the museum to teach apprentices can only be done by those famous scholars and Confucians, and now he can do it as an old man in a poor and remote country, and it is really a bit sudden to be happy to show his face like this when he is dying, so he is naturally full of promises, As a result, the other two old men were full of envy, jealousy, and hatred for him.

In fact, in addition to the eight children in Xiaohe Village, Chen Xu also selected more than a dozen children of about the same age from the town, both male and female, mixed together and not divided into classes, when the time comes, let Old Man Chen and Niu Quan teach together, mainly to learn literacy and abacus, Chen Xu himself will occasionally take the time to give these children some simple physics and calculation lessons, this is the seed of the future Daqin to promote new mathematics, and when they grow up a little, these children can participate in their own plan to revitalize Daqin.

Only the growth of knowledge can bring about social change, and only when more people with knowledge, mathematics, physics and chemistry knowledge appear, can some things be slowly studied.

The main reason for the poverty of this era is the low productivity, and a lot of invisible wealth has not been used in production and life.

Nowadays, the land is vast and sparsely populated, and it can be said that the land that can be cultivated is simply immeasurable, but because the method of producing food is too primitive and low-level, the method of growing food for cats is far less than the method of intensive cultivation in later generations to harvest the large, even if a family grows dozens of acres, the grain output is also small and pitiful, if the planting method is improved, a large number of new agricultural tools are used, and the grain output will be greatly increased.

The simplest is the invention of the threshing machine, which used to take a month to harvest summer grain, but with the help of the threshing machine, this time will be shortened to half a month or even ten days, so that more disaster weather can be avoided, so that more grain can be put into the warehouse, which is also the most intuitive way to improve grain production.

Once the grain is abundant, then in the case of not worrying about the stomach, other material needs will increase greatly, with higher quality material needs, industry and commerce can slowly unfold, social materials will become rich, and social wealth can be slowly accumulated, this is the so-called GDP growth in later generations, and now the GDP of the entire Daqin is combined, and it is estimated that even a prefecture-level city in later generations can not catch up.

There is a saying in later generations that knowledge changes fate, intellectuals change not only the fate of individuals to obtain a higher social status, such as alchemy and pharmaceutical priests and warlocks, it is precisely because of their emergence that some simple chemical theories and substances began to be applied, and slowly popularized and used in a wider range of production and life, and with the emergence of more intellectuals, it will also change the fate of the country, if there is no invention of copper and iron smelting, then copper and iron ore will never be any different from ordinary earth and stone, Once copper and iron ore is smelted into metal, it increases the wealth of the society, and if the craftsman makes a cup, then the country will have one more cup, which is the simplest wealth.

Poverty is not terrible, what is terrible is not having ideas.

Commerce does not increase wealth, but it allows goods to circulate.

Only when agriculture is stable, industry is developed, and commerce is developed, will social wealth be accumulated.

And to do all this, even if Chen Xu has Einstein's head, without enough helpers, without the support of power, it is absolutely impossible to do it.

In order to accomplish some of his own ideas, only by cultivating a large number of outstanding talents can work together to turn his ideals into reality.

Therefore, in addition to slowly accumulating wealth, he also needs to transform this accumulated wealth into a driving force that can promote social progress, form a new force, and let many people see a better future.

If a Legalist disciple implements strict laws and regulations for the long-term peace and stability of Great Qin, then he can also promote the intellectual concepts of later generations for the sake of Great Qin's wealth and strength.

China is big enough and has enough hidden wealth, but it only has ten years, and I just hope that my time will be in time.

And I also hope that my luck is good enough not to touch the interests of too many people and be pressed to death in this poor and remote place in advance.
