In accordance with Guo Bin's instructions, Guo Jia warmly received Zhang Shiping and Su Shuang, and made a long-term agreement with them to traffic horses in the name of Fulong Villa. And set up the Fulong Villa Livestock Trafficking Company, Zhang Shiping and Su Shuang with funds into the shares, occupying forty percent of the shares. Guo Bin allocated 200 steps to escort the horses along the way.

Because there are a lot of displaced people along the way, if there is no careful protection, I am afraid that I will not be able to get to the place where I can easily give a share of food. The troops sent by Guo Bin were all standard equipment in Yangzhai County, not only carrying ring-headed knives made of stainless steel, outlays, but also standard spears, and each carrying cavalry bows, and each of them hung two pots of feather arrows on the horse's buttocks.

Although these people were not skilled in horsemanship and horsemanship, they were also strong and strong, and they were dressed in leather armor. Its equipment is so well-equipped that it is almost on par with the Yulin Army.

Zhang Shiping and Su Shuang saw that although the number of guards sent by Guo Bin was not too many, they were more disciplined than the regular army they saw on weekdays, and more than 200 people stood there without a sound. The majesty they exude is like that of thousands of troops. In the future, take these people to talk about business, it's a bunker!

In fact, after thinking about it, there is a reason why they are so satisfied. With the status of two people, where have they enjoyed such treatment? Most of their guards are wandering wanderers~. Except for a dozen servants who follow all year round, most of them are hired at any time. All of them are disheveled, dirty and sloppy, where is the prestige of Guo Bin's 200-part series? So, after discussing the details with Guo Jia, the two excitedly rushed north with people.

With Guo Bin's character, naturally the interests of the two will not be missing. The so-called two people invested in the shares with funds, but it was the same as the original buying and selling method of the two, the funds were only used as the principal for the purchase of horses, and when the horses were successfully transported back to Yangzhai County, Guo Bin would deliver the profits together. Although the profit was a little less than before, Guo Bin also sent 200 armored cavalry to escort along the way, which not only saved the cost and time of recruiting guards, but also greatly enhanced the escort force. Originally, every time I went on a trade route, it would take more than a month to recruit guards temporarily, and it would take a month to transport goods along the way to go back and forth.

According to Guo Bin's arrangement, the two of them went this time, although it was important to buy horses, but also to find a foothold for Fulong Villa outside the Saiwai. On the next trip, Guo Bin will send people to build the village and transport the goods of the Central Plains. In the future, the purchase of horses will be the responsibility of this village, Zhang Shiping and Su Shuang are often stationed in the village, and the task of transporting horses will be entrusted to the dispatch department of Fulong Villa.

In this way, it only takes a month to transport the horses at a time. If the purchased horses are supplied, they can even travel several times a month.

Zhang Shiping and Su Shuang, as businessmen, not only got the opportunity to cooperate with Fulong Villa, but also fell in love with Guo Bin, a backer, and listened to the meaning of Guo Jia's words, it is more likely that the two will be stationed outside the Saiwai and serve as the city lord, responsible for the purchase of horses. The two even said that if this matter goes well, they can do it without paying!

Why? Because the merchants were suppressed so badly. Although the two are big businessmen and "earn a lot of money", their social status is too low, if they are not forced to do so, how could they spend a huge amount of money in history to fund Liu Bei, a down-and-out royal family who is engaged in weaving mats and selling shoes? How could he be trembling in the face of Guo Bin's small county commander? Why did they seize the opportunity to come to Yangzhai thousands of miles to seek cooperation with Guo Bin?

I heard that Guo Bin was going to build a city outside the Saiwai and intended to make the two of them the city lords, how could the two not rejoice and cry with joy? Although it is outside the Saiwai, after all, he is the lord of a city, and his status is compared to that of a businessman, so it is very different! "Anxious for justice and righteousness and Xiao Meng taste" is really extraordinary, big pattern, big money!

Seeing Zhang Shiping and Su Shuang, they led more than 200 guards out of Yangzhai City with pride and headed north.

Xi Zhicai said to Guo Jia: "The lord has always acted from a high position, and this time he ordered two hundred guards to accompany him, although it is called an escort, but it has the meaning of training troops." After that, the central part of the village took turns to go, not only to take the opportunity to familiarize himself with the route along the way, but also to train soldiers with the help of Saiwai. ”

Guo Jia nodded and said: "Yes, although I am good at foot combat, I am a citizen of the Central Plains, and even if it is compared to the Yulin Army, it is far worse than the Yulin Army." This is the time to improve your equestrian skills, and you will be able to make a big difference in the future! ”

Xi Zhicai nodded and did not speak.

However, Guo Bin's subordinates did not realize that the cooperation with Zhang Shiping and Su Shuang would have a far-reaching impact. This cooperation is a milestone event for Guo Bin to cooperate with businessmen and expand his own power, and will become a template for Guo Bin to expand his strength outside the country.

In the years that followed, Zhang Shiping and Su Shuang devoted themselves to the development of the walled city outside the Saiwai, making it gradually become a pearl on the grassland outside the Saiwai, its far-reaching influence and prestige attracted a group of new merchants to go abroad under the protection of Guo Bin's army, keep forging ahead, occupy new territories, and continue to expand the territory of the new dynasty, becoming a powerful dynasty far beyond the Han Dynasty.

After explaining the matter of Zhang Shiping and Su Shuang to Guo Jia, Guo Bin went to do other things. After only half a year of teaching, Guo Jia has the ability and should take on some things independently.

Time into November, Yangzhai Construction Co., Ltd. has been warmly welcomed by the wealthy families in Yangzhai County, and everyone is enthusiastic to participate in the shares, and they have taken out the grain to subscribe for shares. Because of Guo Bin's actions in Yangzhai County to treat the displaced people and quell the Taiping Road, his prestige in Yangzhai County is unprecedentedly high, and there is no phenomenon of high food prices in Yangzhai County, which makes the hearts of Yangzhai's big families more and more stable. In this situation of great drought in the world, if people in the world can work together and rationally allocate resources, the drought will not be a hurdle in the past.

Therefore, Guo Bin believes that in order to govern the displaced people and deal with the drought, the most important thing is to treat the people's hearts. As long as the people of the world do not panic because of the drought, resulting in a situation in which the rich households store their own food and the poor become homeless, there will be no major problems.

On this day, after the completion of the residential construction in Xicheng District, Yangzhai County, Guo Bin had free time to come to inspect for the first time. The previous completion ceremony was just in time to count the results of the war after the destruction of Taiping Dao, analyze the gains and losses of the war, and then send Liu Bi back to Beijing, and confiscate the family property of Cheng Jiaren in the former Yangzhai County according to the will of the Son of Heaven. Guo Bin was so busy that his feet didn't touch the ground, and it was only now that he took time to look at the construction of Xicheng District.

Entering Xicheng District, only 100 meters away, is the newly built official school in Yangzhai County, and it is also the first public building to be built and put into use. From the age of six, children are required to enter the school according to the regulations, until the age of fifteen to graduate, a total of nine years, which can be said to include the compulsory education curriculum from primary school to junior high school in later generations. As a result, the school building is very large, and there is still a lot of vacant land that can be used for construction.

The curriculum is mainly based on Chinese and mathematics, and there will be two large-scale lectures per month, currently led by the principal Sima Hui, on "The World of the Han Dynasty", and the content is similar to the "Society" offered in the primary schools of later generations. The lecture was open to the public, not only for school students, but also for construction workers in the county, so that the venue was packed on every lecture day.

This is naturally Guo Bin's idea, he specially built a venue in the school that can accommodate nearly 1,000 people, and the style is like the lecture hall of later generations. For this method, everyone was not very comfortable at first. Originally, respecting teachers was an important part of the social ethics that Confucius repeatedly mentioned, how could a teacher who preaches and teaches a teacher stand in a low place, while a group of students sit in a high place? Isn't this a lack of respect for teachers at all?

However, after Guo Bin said something to Sima Hui, the great Confucian of the time immediately became his staunch supporter.

Guo Bin said to Sima Hui: "Mr. Decao, respecting teachers is certainly a human ethics. However, in academic research, overemphasizing status and status can easily make people's minds imprisoned by their teachers, and it is not helpful to develop new knowledge and think about new problems. The purpose of building this kind of lecture hall is to make the speakers and the listeners stand on the same height, think about problems, and discuss academics, so that the ideas can be active, so that the ideas can collide and produce new sparks. ”

Guo Bin looked at Sima Hui, whose face remained unchanged, and continued: "Now only Mr. is qualified to stand on the stage to speak, and in the future, we will invite people from all walks of life who have excellent knowledge and learn from Zhuoda to come to learn from each other and activate the culture. In this way, we can become more and more new and the culture can be more and more progressive. As the saying goes, 'I love my teacher, I especially love the truth'. This is the atmosphere that academic research should have, what do you think? ”

Hearing this, Sima Hui's eyes lit up, and he said: "Such a great good, such a great good!" Later, the words "I love my teacher, I especially love the truth" were engraved on the background wall of the lecture hall. Since then, this sentence has become the school motto of Yangzhai County Government School, and with the continuous expansion of the school, it has been carried forward more and more. Batches of students became the social elite of the new dynasty, and this school motto was brought to all levels of society.

In the long years that followed, although the name of Yangzhai County Government School has changed repeatedly, it has always adhered to this school motto, and has become the most influential, creative and action-oriented academic research center in the world, and the most prestigious and active cultural center in the country. It is also an educational center that cultivates the largest number of social elites, and is the most active place in the country, providing academic and ideological power for social progress and economic development.

At this time, the Yangzhai County Government School was only a small school with only a few hundred students, and after completing the four-year basic literacy course, the students would enter the intermediate classroom and learn the newly opened subjects of "Physics" and "Geography". As for ideological and political subjects, they are taught during Chinese language classes. Of course, the content of the lecture has also been carefully adapted by everyone.
