Cao Xuan took people back to Bianyun County, but not long after Cao Xuan returned to Bianyun County, Fengyun hurriedly sent a letter to Cao Xuan, and now Cao Xuan is already the county guard of Jiuyuan, so Fengyun did not serve as the county commander anymore, and after handing over the position of the county commander to others, he returned to Cao Xing's side to do things, after all, Cao Xuan is indeed short of some manpower now.

"Big brother, some people are not very peaceful......"

Cao Xuan glanced at Feng Yun and didn't speak, opened the envelope and read it quickly, then laughed out loud, and threw the letter directly to the ground, ignoring it.

Seeing Cao Xing's behavior, Feng Yun asked with a little weakness: "Big brother, now that Ding Yuan is dead, that Zhang Yang can also be said to be the assassin of our state, and now that he has written this letter, we are bound to have a way to deal with it!" ”

As the so-called tree is a big move, Cao Xing's Bianyun County and Jiangjiuyuan County are so well governed, and the population under Cao Xing's rule has more than 200,000, which is the best developed county among the eight counties in Bingzhou.

is also the so-called popular right and wrong, no, trouble finally came to the door, Zhang Yang asked Cao Xing to go to Shangtang for a trip, as for what to say, the letter did not explain, but everyone can guess it, it is definitely not a good thing.

According to common sense, this Zhang Yang is an acting assassin, and he can be regarded as Cao Xing's boss, his orders Cao Xuan can't help but listen, but at this moment Cao Xing can only laugh, Zhang Yang may have wanted to move him a long time ago, as early as on the way back, he had already arranged someone to assassinate him, but it didn't succeed, if Cao Xing believed his nonsense, then it was really an evil door.

"Ignore him and live our lives." For this letter, Cao Xing's last attitude is also like this.

Almost a week later, on this day, Cao Xing, accompanied by Fengyun and others, walked into a huge courtyard, and before he could fully walk in, he heard the sound of a book coming from inside.

"The leaves are pale, the white dew is frost, the so-called Yiren are on the water side!"

Immediately afterwards, there were countless students, and the voices of reading alongside me came.

Feng Yun and the others wanted to walk in, but they were stopped by Cao Xing's hand, Cao Xing put his hands behind his back, stood outside and quietly listened to the sound of these students reading, and it took almost half an hour for these sounds to completely end.

Countless young men, carrying their own schoolbags, left here happily.

Looking at the happy appearance of these students, Cao Xing couldn't help but think of himself in his previous life, when he was still young, although he lived in poverty, but Cao Xing felt that it was not a kind of happiness, not a kind of enjoyment.

Thinking of this, Cao Xuan couldn't help but wonder, but at this moment, Feng Yun next to him pushed Cao Xing, and Cao Xuan finally came back to his senses. When he looked at it, there was already a slender woman standing in front of him.

This woman is no one else, it is Cai Yan who Cao Xuan picked up from Luoyang, Cai Yan looked at Cao Xuan and saluted Cao Xingying. And Cao Xuan waved his hand, signaling that Cai Yan didn't need to be polite.

"I'm used to living here!"

Cai Yan nodded and said with a smile: "Thank you Gongzi Cao for taking care of me many times, my habit of living here for everything, and being able to teach these students every day, I also feel a kind of happiness, a kind of happiness!" ”

Cao Xing was in Luoyang before and put Cai. Director Yong's 10,000 volumes of scriptures have all been turned over, and there is everything in these 10,000 volumes of scriptures, including Confucianism, Taoism, Legalism, and soldiers.

Coupled with Cao Xing's papermaking and printing technology, soon, books were popularized, so Cao Xuan opened a school, and the current one is the first formal school opened by Cao Xing.

In this era when education is not popular, it is a blessing to be able to get books to read, Cao Xing also taught his people, let them send all the teenagers in their families to the school, so that they can get the most basic education, at least know how to read and write, after all, people with knowledge, whether it is for themselves or for society, it is a good thing.

In ancient times, Confucius accepted disciples, and each person paid ten pieces of bacon to enter the school, and Cao Xing charged cheaper here, each person only needed to pay two pieces of bacon, and they could go to the school to study for a year, and as for the rest, all of them were subsidized by the government.

Of course, there may be some ordinary people who know the reason of death and feel that it is too wasteful to take their children to study, after all, reading costs money, so it is better to stay at home and farm honestly to reduce some of the burden on the family, but Cao Xing clearly told them.

If you want your children to have a future and be able to enter the official career, then reading is the most basic content, and Cao Xing assured everyone that the election of officials under his rule in the future is not in a filial and honest way like the Han Dynasty.

Although the way of promoting officials with filial piety seems to be good, after all, his starting point is still very good, but after so many officials have been promoted, he has not seen any outstanding talents, so Cao Xing's principle is only one, that is, those who are capable are up, and those who can't go down, as for whether they are virtuous or not, they can be used as a second assessment. Anyway, what Cao Xing wants at the moment is a useful talent who can govern the country and mercenaries.

Cai Yan is the first principal of this school, and his task is quite heavy, not only to hand over his students to read and write, but more importantly, he also has to help Cao Xuan train the first batch of teachers, so Cai Yan's burden is also very heavy.

Cao Xuan walked over and told Cai Yan that if he couldn't hold on, just say it, Cao Xuan would find a way to let Fengyun assist Cai Yan, but Cai Yan shook his head firmly, since his father died, he seemed to have matured a lot and became completely stronger.

Cai Yan told Cao Xing that he felt that this matter was very meaningful when teaching students all over the world, and he had gradually taken this kind of thing as his own responsibility, so no matter what, she would not feel bitter or tired.

Hearing Cai Yan's words, Cao Xing also smiled, is this the so-called teacher's virtue? In Cai Yan's body, it is well reflected.

Cao Xuan asked some questions about the school, but after that, Cao Xuan and Cai Yan began to become more and more speechless, is this the so-called no topic? Cao Xuan smiled awkwardly, wanting to say something, but he really didn't know what to say for a while, especially when he thought that Cai Yan's father had just died, and some things would be said later.

Therefore, after Cao Xing told Cai Yan to pay attention to his body, he left with someone.

After returning to his own house, Cao Xing continued to deal with his political affairs, Jiuyuan County has gone through more than a year of development, under the comprehensive transformation of the new policy, the biggest effect is that every family has enough food and clothing, there are no more beggars on the street, as long as you are diligent, as long as you are willing, you will not be starved to death.

Now the grain in Jiuyuan County is enough for all the people in Jiuyuan County, and more importantly, Cao Xing went to Chang'an and transported all the grain there in Yisai, which greatly increased the grain reserves in Bianyun County.

Therefore, within five years, Cao Xing will no longer have to worry about food. But even so, Cao Xing still did not give up the large production of grain, after all, a little more grain is always a good thing.

Secondly, Cao Xing began to recruit a large number of workers, and Cao Xing had an idea in his heart to change his rule from an agricultural country to an industrial country, so the most basic workers could not be missing.

Even Cao Xing directly set up a department called the Engineering Department, and the leader of the Engineering Department was naturally Ma Bo, a skilled craftsman under Cao Xing.

The first thing Cao Xing did was to ask Ma Bo to help him recruit industrial talents, and the recruitment of young people should be mainly young people, and these young people must master at least two skills of carpentry or ironworking.

Secondly, the Ministry of Industry is also in charge of the construction of things, now Cao Xuan is repairing about three things, one is Yongdao, now Cao Xuan needs to connect the entire Jiuyuan County roads, all connected, each county to each county, at least at most only half an hour to an hour to arrive, so as to greatly improve the efficiency of transportation.

Another thing is to find a way to connect with the Great Wall built by the Qin Dynasty to resist the invasion of the Xianbei people.

Although it sounds like the amount of these two projects is a bit huge, Cao Xing now has a population and money in his hands, although these workers work very hard every day, but Cao Xuan will definitely not treat them badly. After all, how those dynasties in history perished, Cao Xing can still recall now, for example, the Qin Dynasty and the Sui Dynasty were originally better, but because they were in a hurry to do certain things, the people were not able to make a living, so it eventually led to their demise.

Therefore, Cao Xing will definitely not have any less hair in terms of Lenovo and military salary, and in the end it is the military industry, Cao Xing asked Ma Bo to build a large number of crossbow machines, and at the same time of building, he must also find a way to transform, and now every sergeant under him must be equipped with such a thing as a crossbow machine.

Archers should not only be familiar with bows and crossbows, but also with archery, after all, only bows and arrows have a longer range, and on the battlefield it is mainly bows and arrows that work, and crossbow machines are only suitable for melee combat. Of course, it's not just the crossbow machine, as long as it involves weapons such as military industry, Ma Bo and others are thinking of ways to transform them.

Once Cao Xing went to visit Ma Bo's military factory, now, the military factory is built on a very large scale, covering an area of tens of thousands of square meters in the outside world alone, and there are countless craftsmen in it, all of whom are busy working in unity.

Seeing this, Cao Xing had a feeling of whim, he not only recruited Ma Bo over, but also told Ma Bo one thing, that is, the steam engine, Cao Xuan did not forget, the birth of the steam engine also marked the beginning of the first industrial revolution.

Cao Xing directly asked a huge kettle to be brought in, and the lid was closed, and then a raging fire burned under him, and after a while, you could see that the water in the kettle had been boiled, and white mist kept coming out of the lid, and there was even a tendency to open the lid.

Cao Xuan looked at Ma Bo, patted Ma Bo on the shoulder, and asked Ma Bo, but what did he think, but Ma Bo looked at Cao Xuan a little confused, not knowing what Cao Xuan wanted to express, seeing this, Cao Xuan couldn't even smile, let Ma Bo slowly understand.

Cao Xing believed that the wisdom of the ancients was infinite, and as long as someone guided someone and someone mentioned something, then they would create infinitely great things. Even if Ma Bo doesn't understand what Cao Xuan means now, I believe he will definitely understand it in the future, and then it may be the beginning of the Industrial Revolution.

Today's Bianyun County is like a big machine, and it has generally begun to proceed steadily and unchaotically. But it was at this time that a crisis quietly came.

The Prefecture Assassin's Mansion issued an approval document, which clearly stated that after the certification of the Assassin's Mansion, it was considered that Cao Xing's county guard was quite unqualified, and Cao Xing was required to roll down from this position. Even they sent a new county guard, ready to take Cao Xing's place.

When the newly appointed county guard came to the county office in Bianyun County, he looked at Cao Xuan with burning eyes. Seeing that he waved his hand to follow him, the few officials immediately took out the appointment and dismissal book, which was clearly written, and the state assassin Zhang Yang wanted to cancel the position of Cao Xing's county guard.

However, what they greeted was that Cao Xuan was sitting on the main seat, eating food leisurely. Fengyun Che Wu Chen Hu, and even Jia Kui and others were all standing on the side and looking at the newly appointed county guard with a playful expression. The only thing that is better is Jia Xu, who is sitting in the first place under Cao Xing, who seems to be quite indifferent at the moment.

This newly appointed county guard, seeing such an attitude, knew that something bad was going to happen, at least Cao Xing's subordinates didn't approve of him at all, but he also had a letter of appointment, and he was also an official of the state, he felt that it was a bit too much to go back like this, so he tidied up his clothes, looked at Cao Xing with burning eyes, and said in a righteous and awe-inspiring tone.

"Cao Xing, what do you mean by this, I have a letter of appointment here, however, your attitude towards me is very bad, I think you are clearly unkind, unfaithful, unfilial, vainly vain, and difficult to write!"

Hearing this, Cao Xuan sneered, put down the chopsticks in his hand, and then walked down step by step, he was not interested in knowing what the name of this newly appointed county guard was, he just said to him.

"You said that I was so heinous, but I believe that among the entire 200,000 people in Jiuyuan County, only you and a few people will say this about me Cao Xuan, you can go to Bianyun County and ask those peddlers and pawns, those ordinary people, how does Cao Xuan treat them? Is it better to follow your hands, or to follow my Cao Xing, you often oppress the people, loot the people's fat and ointment, and I, Cao Xing, have never done this, the eyes of the masses are bright, so how small and isolated your voice seems! ”

"You ......" As soon as he heard this, he directly smoked the seven orifices of the newly appointed county guard. At the same time, he also understood one thing, that is, in this situation today, even if he racked his brains, he would not be able to let Cao Xuan go down from this position.
