After several years of refinement by up to five craftsmen and more than twenty apprentices, Nanshan Fort's pencils have finally been able to control impurities to a level that will not scratch the paper at any time.

Qinling and Shennongjia land are vast and barbaric, with many products, and the graphite produced is enough for Nanshan Fort to use. Thanks to the advancement of core equipment such as hydraulic grinding, variable speed agitators, and simple ironwood lathes, the diameter of the pencil is finally controlled to about one centimeter, which greatly reduces the pressure on children under the age of 10.

In the Mengxue of Nanshan Fort, books are all public.

If a child damages a book that is to be used for a long time, the family will need to pay a fine. Even so, the few books printed by the block block could not keep up with the demand due to limited production, not to mention that many of the contents have been adjusted. As for improving movable type printing, which has long appeared but is difficult to apply on a large scale, to a level of usability, it will not be possible in three or five years at the current speed.

The bamboo and wood paper taken from both sides of the Han River has improved a lot, at least it is no longer so yellow, and there will be no embarrassment that the whole batch of paper is full of impurity particles at every turn. The cost has not been reduced much, mainly because of the high investment in related equipment and the increasing cost of research and development.

Li Yifu immediately decided to increase support for paper, pencils, books and other related workshops, and strive to reduce the cost of paper and books for children, teenagers and public middle school personnel to use paper and books to a new level.

What makes Li Yifu both pleased and excited is that the research and development of quills has made a major breakthrough!

Nanshanbao Gongzhong, which began to transform into Qinling Gongzhong, pursued the so-called "rule by inaction". A radish and a pit, Li Yifu will never allow officials like Da Zhou to write poems, big households to control the township, and officials to do practical things.

No matter who you are, as long as you receive the money, you have to work hard! The speed of cultivating talents is not fast for a while, and improving work efficiency has become the core priority that Li Yifu is paying close attention to.

The quill pen can not only save paper, but also greatly improve the efficiency of writing, so it is highly valued by Li Yifu.

Li Yifu's hundreds of flowers did not have vain flowers, and the group of craftsmen who gradually grew and matured and transformed into the research team did not disappoint him. The latest quill pens use a smooth, rounded birdbone with holes in the nib to make the nib, which greatly reduces the probability of cutting through the paper and saves the trouble of breaking at every turn.

"Quite ingenious...... Ten rewards for that craftsman! ”

Li Xiang found that the latest batch of quill pens dipped in ink to write was as smooth as silk compared to the previous stumbling situation, so he sighed and said:

"Since we were able to produce them in large quantities, we stopped purchasing brushes and inkstones, and from now on, we will only provide quills and ink blocks. That alone can save a lot of money! ”

"Let's leave him alone with the scholars we recruited from Nanshan Fort, let them change slowly. But our old foundations, especially the young people in Gongzhong and Houshan, must write from left to right and from top to bottom from today onwards. Manpower is limited, so save time in everything! ”

With quill pens and pencils, and a comprehensive change in writing habits, the operation efficiency of Nanshan Fort will definitely go to a new level.

Li Mengkong, Zhang Wanli, Hu Jixiang and others, who inspected the important workshop with Li Yifu, had complicated expressions and couldn't help but feel a little regretful and disappointed. The writing habit that has been passed down for thousands of years was banned by the proprietor, although it was limited to Mengxue, Gongzhong and Houshan, but it was not enough to hold the right to speak in these three places!

Workshops for pen and paper, books, and ink blocks are located in the southeast corner of the valley. The goods related to the text are highly complementary, and their workshop owners build workshops together so that they can cooperate with each other and facilitate improvement.

On the afternoon of June 21, after Li Yifu inspected the quill workshop, he went straight to the adjusted mountain people's literacy class.

The mountain people's literacy class was established by Li Yifu in order to let a small number of mountain people who are eager to learn but cannot go to Mongolia have a place to read and write.

After the change, the mountain people's literacy class has greatly strengthened the learning of clear calculation, etiquette, and understanding of rules. On the basis of teaching pinyin literacy, more than 100 square characters have been added to the learning content, so that mountain people who have participated in literacy classes can continue to learn on their own.

Today's writing and arithmetic classes have ended, and hundreds of mountain people, most of them who have not participated in the literacy class, sit around and listen to a middle-aged teacher with awkward facial features talk about how to behave after going out. I only heard the middle-aged teacher holding the red copper horn and saying, "Our proprietor is married." ”

"Today, I'll talk about what is written on the new notice of the public middle school, about women can also be heads of households, and women can also hold high positions......

After the preaching and Q&A close to the two sticks of incense, the middle-aged instructor who had drunk the tea said weakly: "So we all have to remember that the daughter-in-law is not your coolie or property. They are in the same position as us, they are all protected by the rules of the public school, and they will not dare to beat their daughters-in-law indiscriminately in the future. ”

"Also, we all have to be careful about our property. After registering the female head of the household, when she can't go on and wants to leave, she can not only take away the dowry, but also take away half of the family property! ”

Watching the trial in the judgment hall and preaching in the literacy class have become one of the living habits of the people in the Qinling Mountains, after all, there are very few pastimes and entertainment items in the mountains. You can not only listen to the excitement, but also gain knowledge, and you can also gag and have a lively time, why not?

Li Yifu rubbed his fingers, shook his head and smiled:

"The virtue class of the literacy class has become a virtue preaching class. Since you have heard so many people, let me find a few more people to do this, so as not to burn my throat. ”

"The public middle school should think of a way, it is better to separate the part of virtue preaching, and let the mountain people listen to it in batches. Tea, stools and snacks can be served to attract more people to listen. Not only near Nanshan Fort, but also send people to the high mountains and dangerous ravines in the east of the Qinling Mountains to preach in the villages that have obeyed our control, so that more people can understand the rules, lest someone say what we do? Punish ...... without teaching"

"This instructor fled from the Northwest Sixth Road, right? The appearance is good, the body is good, and the voice is hard, but the facial features are a little anxious. ”

Listening to the proprietor's ridicule, Li Mengkong, Zhang Wanli, Hu Jixiang and other middle-aged and elderly people were fine, but Xiong Chengwen and others laughed. Thinking about the strange facial features of the middle-aged teacher, he must have been often ridiculed by many public middle school staff.

Li Yifu said "we" one by one, and the chests of the more than 30 people present were warm. I saw the proprietor nodding at Xiong Chengwen and the others, who were struggling to write shorthand, and continued to preach:

"This teacher Sheng spoke well, but it deviated from the intention of Wuhe Gongzhong. In the future, it is necessary to formulate the content of the lecture in a unified manner, and let the instructors practice one or two ...... in advance."

While he was talking, one of Cheng Jianghai's subordinates approached with his head bowed and handed a small bamboo tube to the big cow who led the guard.

Da Niu glanced at the silk rope tied to the bamboo tube, and found that it was red, and his eyes froze. He lowered his head through the crowd and placed it in the proprietor's hand in a low-key manner.

Li Yifu coughed twice, and everyone looked away in amusement.

Open the beeswax and carefully unscrew the bamboo tube, a slight cracking sound indicates that the bamboo tube has not been tampered with. Li Yifu poured out the small paper roll and opened it for a closer look......

"Let's take a look. The northern city wall of Hangzhou was breached, and the defeat of the Yongle puppet dynasty was inevitable. ”

"It's a good time to increase the chips and bring the good things of the Yongle Puppet Dynasty as much as possible."

Li Mengkong was the first to look at it, and then handed it to Zhang Wanli with a complicated expression. After a short time, more than 30 people read the brief information and had their own thoughts.

Li Yifu and Liu Chengdong led their troops to fight bloody battles in Jiangnan for several months, and the news that intermittently transmitted back to the mountains was enough to piece together some truths.

Fang La was so powerful, and he was defeated so quickly?

In late June, some families at the southeastern foot of the Qinling Mountains took their minds back. I don't know what to do, urging the proprietor to get into trouble, it's really a long-term behavior!

On the second night of the wedding, Li Yifu, who was upset, came to Liu Xiaoci's room.

Pick off the hijab, drink cross-neck wine with copper gourd, and eat raw dumplings......

Because of his experience, his mood was also blocked uncomfortably, Li Yifu extinguished the candle without saying a few words, and lay down on the bed with the shy Liu Xiaoci in his arms.

After suffering the pain of breaking her body, Liu Xiaoci changed from a girl to a woman. She hugged her husband's neck tightly, regardless of the pain, and offered all her tenderness. Tears of happiness mixed with fragrant sweat and wet the hair.

The big bed, which was all made of walnut, camphor wood, rosewood and other precious woods, began to shake slightly, which shows Li Yifu's strength. It could also be inexperienced.

Compared with Liu Susu's firmness and bodybuilding, Liu Xiaoci is more slippery and soft. Li Yifu was like lying on a small raft, letting the sea current and the sea breeze take him to a distant place......

Li Yifu asked Liu Xiaoci and confirmed that his shy and moving bride could withstand it, so he vented his boredom on Liu Xiaoci's delicate body.

It took four times for Li Yifu to clear the block in his chest, and the weakness of lack of strength was also greatly reduced. He was worried that he would hurt the dedicated Xiaoci, so he picked up the limp bride to the luxurious shower room inside the wedding room, cleaned her body with hot spring water, and then hugged Liu Xiaoci, who had put the chastity towel and blushed like blood, and fell asleep.

On June 22, a spirited Li Yifu appeared in the courtyard of the judgment hall.

In order to avoid disturbances and riots interrupting the trial process, and to facilitate more mountain people to visit, the high walls of the judgment hall, which is crowded almost every day, were demolished, leaving only a low wall of about one meter. Then the public middle school strictly stipulated that no one could step into the courtyard gate, nor could they squat on the low wall to eat, otherwise they would be served on the board.

The first case was a series of obscenity and humiliation cases that caused panic among the people of the eastern Qinling Mountains.

In the crying testimony of several masked women, the thug, who had not long been naturalized as a citizen of the Qinling Mountains, was directly sentenced to death for several Neiding who had made meritorious contributions but had not seen blood.

The second case is the settling-in and departure that has been pending for months.

Now the public middle school has completed the relevant rules, so the An family and the two have left smoothly.

This case caused an uproar in the eastern Qinling Mountains, and the Qinling mountain people and the Qinling natives, especially the men, were very dissatisfied. However, it didn't take long for the vast majority of people to shut up in front of the Bauhinia Battalion, which showed its reliable combat power.

The third case is a lack of evidence and an unsolved murder and mining case.

The plaintiff Zhuo's family is a native of the Qinling Mountains, and the defendant Xing's family is a native of the Qinling Mountains.

The public school is paying more and more attention to data, and the court is especially particular about evidence. Only the Zhuo Xing family had the ability to mine near the small iron mine that was contested, and it could not be proved that the Xing family instructed the killing, so the public could only pay a large amount of money to the Zhuo family.

Several men of the Xing family were sentenced to not leave the small iron mine for three years, otherwise they would be punished as absconding in fear of crime.

Under the respectful send-off of nearly 1,000 mountain people, Li Yifu brought hundreds of people to the meeting hall.

I saw the proprietor big horse golden knife, sitting on a yellow rosewood chair covered in tiger skin, after drinking two sips of tea, frowning and asking:

"In the past two days, there have been five rooms and five places in the public middle school, even including the judgment hall and the martyr's shrine, why are there always people who are absent-minded, drowsy, and full of mistakes?"

The two rows of chairs in front of Li Yifu belong to senior civilian positions such as Li Mengkong and Zhang Wanli, and the other row belongs to senior military officials such as Liu Sheng and Yang Yingdong.

Some people want to speak and stop, some people have flashing eyes, some people have sad faces, and most of them bow their heads.

Deng Yushun was more sincere, so he wanted to get up from the stool and speak, but was pulled by a subordinate by his sleeve.

Silence, eerie silence......

Li Yifu didn't understand. He was about to get angry, when he heard Li Mengkong, the former No. 1 person in public middle school and his most trusted old boy, cough twice.

The only ones who dared to uncover the face of the proprietor in person were Li Mengkong, as well as Xiong Chengwen, Four-Eyed Boy, Radar and other proprietors.

Li Mengkong is worthy of being the most respected Grandpa Li and the old master of the Qinling Mountain People. He had already unloaded most of his practice, and he thought that he could see Li Yifu's personality clearly, so he got up and crossed his hands and reminded: "Dare to ask the proprietor, when was the last time Xiu Mu was born?" ”

Li Yifu's hand shook and he almost dropped the teacup. His mind was buzzing, his mouth opened slightly, and he froze in his chair.

Some of the people in the council hall have been working in the public school since they came out of Mengxue, and they have not experienced many setbacks, and the young students who are simple-hearted and mentally fragile actually sobbed aggrievedly. Li Mengkong and Zhang Wanli rolled their eyes and pinched their eyebrows, feeling that they had to think of a way to train young people.

Li Yifu finally knew where the resentment and dissatisfaction in the council hall came from. It turned out that after beating him to power, the people in the mountains never took a vacation!

It's a stupid device like a waterwheel, which runs for several years and is sure to have an accident, let alone a person of flesh and blood.

It's horrible......

It is no wonder that there are more and more public middle school employees who take leave or even resign, no wonder that the mountain people in the eastern Qinling Mountains do not hesitate to fight in order to watch a miscellaneous drama, and it is no wonder that there are more and more middle-aged people with sad faces and sighs. The answer turned out to be overwhelming!

"Then why didn't you remind me? I don't dare to say it, but I can find someone to deliver the message! ”

Li Yifu was a little embarrassed, rubbing his fingers and asking Li Mengkongdao.

Li Mengkong looked at Zhang Wanli, and the more than 100 people in the council hall immediately looked at Zhang Wanli.

Zhang Wanli, who successfully took over most of the powers, thought about it and said with a wry smile: "Ahem, the proprietor has been working hard for several years, and most of the livelihood of my Qinling mountain people comes from the proprietor. ”

"In order to find a quiet and easy way to make money for the bereaved families of the brave martyrs and the women who are on the list, the proprietor cooks by himself and teaches dozens of dishes to the lonely women with children and daughters free of charge."

But the proprietor never shouted tired. The staff of the public middle school received the kindness of the proprietor and supported their family with the proprietor's salary, so how can they say that they are tired? ”

These words did not offend anyone, which not only told the current situation of not having a holiday for several years, but also highlighted the selfless dedication of the proprietor to lead by example.

Zhang Wanli's words made the staff of Gongzhong both proud and proud, and their resentment towards the proprietor turned into admiration.

"No wonder in less than a month, it has been recognized by the old qualified mountain people......" Li Mengkong stroked his beard and nodded, commenting on Zhang Wanli in his heart.

"Uncle Zhang's is so witty......" Xiong Chengwen secretly admired.

"Not a drop of water, good words like jade, and everything has been said. It's terrible......" Deng Yushun completely obeyed the first brother of today's public middle school.

"This outsider is so cunning, playing the emotional card with orphans and widows. Whoever still complains about the proprietor now is like a beast......" Four-Eyed said with disdain in his heart.

Zhang Wanli's core point of view is: It's not that we are tired, but the proprietor is too good. I'm so tired that I can't keep up with the proprietor's pace!

"It is worthy of Lao Tzu who fell in love early in the morning and used small means to dig it up. He really can talk and do things. Li Yifu thought in his heart.

No loss of face is comfort!

Li Yifu felt that Zhang Wanli's proposal was very good, so he coughed and said:

"It was the proprietor who was negligent. Most of the people in the mountains can't eat enough, and I always feel that something is spurring me, but I don't expect that even the Qinling natives, who have no food and clothing, need to rest. ”

"Thirty months are divided. How about a tentative day off on the last day of every decade? ”

"In addition, I will take two days off later this month to spend time with your families. The proprietor has just gotten married, so he can't make a small amount, and his salary will be doubled this month! ”

"My people in Nanshan Fort are all vying to make a fortune, and the salary of the public middle school in the future will also be increased on a monthly basis......"

A lot of bad checks, a month's salary, and three days off a month made the public high school staff in the council hall cry with gratitude.

What a lucrative deal!

In fact, Li Yifu originally wanted to stipulate two days off every ten years. But the affairs handled by the public middle school were about to surge, and he thought of the truth of the long stream, so he cunningly fooled it with the very "regular" system of three days off a month......

Either way, the council hall was boiling. Immediately, the eastern Qinling Mountains controlled by Nanshan Fort Gongzhong were all boiling.

God's mercy, the workaholic proprietor is finally willing to let others rest!
