The brick and lime factories produced in shifts in batches on the premise of employing sufficient manpower, and after the scale was expanded, the output was not bad. The transportation of cement and masonry was also barely supported by the efforts of mules, horses, oxen, and donkeys purchased by Xi Zhicai. The quiet and busy days passed like this for more than two months, during which the size of Fulong Villa increased many times. The walls of Zhuangzi stretched almost to the top of Fulong Mountain, expanding the vineyards as well. In order to make it easier to get water, Guo Bin also asked people to dig a ditch to divert water from the river into the village.

In order to crush the clods of soil, the brick factory built a waterwheel with the efforts of Ma Lao and several carpenters, and used the river water to drive the waterwheel to rotate, and then provided power to the large wooden mallet through wooden bearings, so that the brick factory saved a lot of labor. Not only that, Guo Bin also instructed everyone to level out a carriage-wide land on both sides of the road built, specially dug two ruts slightly wider than the wheels, and hardened them with homemade cement. In the future, whether it was transporting masonry or cement, the two wheels of the carriage were stuck in this special track, just like the carts that transported coal in the mines of later generations, which really saved a lot of effort.

Thanks to Xi Zhicai's lobbying in Yangzhai County, the landlords of Yangzhai came to visit Fulong Villa. Seeing the village gate towering more than two zhang high and the courtyard wall more than three kilometers long, and hearing that the moon is about to be completed, the shock in my heart is beyond words.

Thanks to the surprising enthusiasm of the landlords for the construction of the farm, orders for building materials have been overwhelming, so the speed of logistics and the scale of production have become the biggest obstacles to the development of Fulong Villa.

In order to speed up the speed of material circulation, strengthen the connection between Fulong Villa and Guojiazhuang and even Yangzhai County. The road from Fulong Villa to Guojiazhuang and the road from Guojiazhuang to Yangzhai County have already completed the preliminary investigation work and are in full swing in construction.

Since ancient times, the government has vigorously advocated the construction of bridges and roads by private self-help, and it is also a powerful weapon for local wealthy families to strengthen their influence and win a good reputation. Therefore, the county magistrate of Yangzhai County greatly appreciated the good deeds of Guo Bin of Fulong Villa, and after receiving the five jars of wine sent by Xi Zhicai, he issued a notice to support the good deeds of road construction in Fulong Villa, and sent the prisoners in prison to Fulong Villa to help build the road.

In order to ensure the physical strength of the prisoners and speed up the progress of road construction, the food in Fulong Villa is better than that of ordinary landlords, with meat and vegetables, porridge and rice are full. Although the prisoners were grateful for this, Liu Xianling was also complacent about withholding the prisoners' rations, and our classmate Guo had already laughed behind his back several times.

In order to respond to the county's support for the line from Fulong Villa to Guojiazhuang and the line from Guojiazhuang to Yangzhai County, and for the early use of the bricks and cement produced by Shangfulong Villa, the county's major wealthy families and landlords also contributed. Fortunately, it was the agricultural slack season, and I heard that Fulong Villa was in charge of rice, and he could get a few coppers after completing it every day, and the tenants of each family came to help repair the road, and the poor people of Yangzhai County also came to help.

In this way, Yangzhai County vigorously launched the highway construction of Fulong Villa-Guojiazhuang-Yangzhai County City Line under the operation of the evil capital, and the construction standard is the road standard from the lime plant to Fulong Villa, not only hardened roads, but also tracks for transporting masonry and cement.

It took only two months to complete the 30-mile-long highway with integrated foottracks. The construction of this line demonstrated Guo Bin's superb political talent, demonstrated Xi Zhicai's unparalleled liaison and organizational skills, and achieved a win-win political situation for all parties, which was talked about by everyone many years later.

Since then, the pattern of limited production of soap and fine wine as high-end luxury goods has been formed. At the same time, under the guise of brewing wine and building roads, a large amount of grain was purchased, and most of the newly built more than a dozen granaries were filled. In addition, the poultry breeding industry is also in full swing, and all the people in the village have meat to eat, and they are not afraid of starvation, and they have initially achieved a well-off life.

During this period of time, Guo Bin handed over the road repair to Xi Zhicai, and let Guo Jia and Guo Quan follow suit, but he started to be the shopkeeper. Every time Xi Zhicai went back to the village and saw Guo Bin hanging out in the village wearing a green cloth robe, he was always so angry that he pulled his already slightly sparse beard, and then pestered Guo Bin to drink. Don't look at him as such a scoundrel, I can only admire Guo Bin's superb political skills in my heart, and I am even more moved by Guo Bin's unreserved trust in him in private.

Yang Zhai's wealthy family saw that the doorman of Fulong Villa was in contact with each other, and they were able to arrange the thousands of people who were building the road properly, and they all envied Guo Bin for being able to get such a talent to assist him at such a young age. How did he know that the person who could come up with such a good idea with a small cost, quick results, both benefits and a good reputation, and the active participation of everyone in the county, was actually a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy.

Every time I think of this, Xi Zhicai becomes more and more incomprehensible to Guo Bin, and his attitude towards him has changed from recognition to worship. Therefore, whether it is organizing road construction or teaching Guo Jia and Guo Quan's brothers, Xi Zhicai has become more and more dedicated.

In fact, Xi Zhicai really wronged Guo, and Guo Bin has not been idle for a moment in the past two months.

With the expansion of the industry in Fulong Villa, more and more people came to work, and most of them came with their families. Therefore, with the rapid increase in the number of young and middle-aged laborers, the number of children in the village has also increased dramatically, and in just two months, the number of children has reached more than 200, and they are currently studying with Guo Bin in the school of Fulong Villa.

Due to the rapid increase in the number of people, Guo Bin's previous plan of one cup of goat milk per person was almost impossible to implement, so he still sent a letter to Xi Zhicai and urgently purchased a batch of ewes from large households to support it.

These children are the children of poor peasant families, and naturally they do not have the opportunity to read and write. Now that Guo Bin has started teaching, not only the parents are grateful to Dade, but the dolls are also very serious, so Guo Bin's teaching career is busy and fulfilling. Of course, the courses taught are very limited, and according to later generations, there are only two courses in Chinese and mathematics.

When the children came home from school, they told their parents that they had learned to read and write, and they had also learned the art of settling accounts. As long as the family of five is willing to work, and the man goes to participate in training sooner or later, the owner of Guo Zhuang will take care of the family's food and housing, and he does not need the child to help the family work.

Everyone only thinks that life has a head, and it is difficult to say what their generation can do, but if the children can write and calculate, that is to have a great income, so the work and training are also more hardworking, all in order to repay the kindness of the owner of Guo Zhuang.

As for the content of the teachings in the school, it is not the popular scriptures of the moment. The Chinese language is taught from the later generations of Chinese pinyin, and the traditional Chinese characters are taught. Mathematics is that Guo Bin almost pulled out his "hair" to barely make up, at present, there is only simple addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, using natural Arabic numerals that he is familiar with.

At this time, the pronunciation of Chinese characters is mostly based on "Shuowen Jiezi". This book was written in the first year of Emperor Jianguang, nearly half a century ago, and it is still an important source for the study of paleography until the 21st century. The author is Xu Shen, a famous scholar and philologist in the Eastern Han Dynasty.

"Shuowen Jie Zi" explains the pronunciation of Chinese characters, often saying: "read if so" or "a certain sound". For example, the word "material", "Shuowen Jiezi" is explained as: "material, caisheng." ”

However, once you encounter a situation where a certain Chinese character does not have homophones, it is troublesome, sometimes there are homophones, but those phonetic Chinese characters are more difficult to understand than the phonetic Chinese characters, which is extremely embarrassing.

There is also a disadvantage that this phonetic method can not indicate the tone, such as the word "knife", the later "Kangxi Dictionary" notes "to Pingsheng", not to mention that people who don't even know the word "knife" will know the word "to", only the tone is extremely unfriendly to beginners.

Naturally, Guo Bin doesn't understand the complicated pros and cons of explaining them, and he will carry them out to the end. Fortunately, although I failed all subjects, Hanyu Pinyin did not pull down, so I took out Hanyu Pinyin and started teaching it from "a, o, e".

So every morning, when I got up, I watched a group of naughty children finish their morning exercises, sit in their seats, each with a cup of steaming goat's milk in their hands, or review Pinyin loudly, or review the Chinese characters that they had practiced the day before, Guo Bin had the illusion of returning to the afterlife, which felt that Guo Bin, whose life had settled down a little, was extremely nostalgic.

As for the Chinese textbook, although Guo Bin has struggled, there is no thousand-character text, no family name, so he has to use the Analects to explain. Of course, his explanation is not a textbook, but a combination of what he has learned in later generations and some fragmentary memories in his current mind, plus his own new understanding, and re-introduced to the class. Although there is no shortage of deviant words, it is rare that the students listen to them with relish.

As for mathematics, Guo Bin has nothing to say, at this stage, he only teaches simple addition and subtraction, and teaches everyone the ninety-nine multiplication formula, so that everyone can remember it firmly and use it when they learn multiplication in the future. Of course, the symbols are in Arabic numerals, which are not only easy to write and remember, but also easy to understand at a glance. Of course, the most important thing is that Guo is convenient to use. What more could you ask for for someone who has never failed math?

In addition, the calculation formula is naturally taught to everyone, and this thing is many times simpler and more convenient than the calculation at this time. As for advanced courses such as unary linear equations and binary quadratic equations, it may take a few years to come up with them. Even so, when these things reached Xi Zhicai, who was busy in Yangzhai County, he couldn't help but tremble.

He said to Guo Jia: "The lord is talented, is it really a godsend? The ninety-nine multiplication formula has not been uncommon since the pre-Qin period, but this calculation symbol is not only concise and clear, easy to memorize, and with such vertical calculations, it is much more clever than the calculation. ”

Guo Jia also admired his eldest brother, and asked Xi Zhicai: "What does Mr. look at this Chinese pinyin?" ”

Xi Zhicai said: "This Chinese pinyin is countless times more important than this symbol and equation than this mathematical science. ”

After a pause, his eyes stared at the sky and said: "In the past, Qin Shi Huang used Li Si's small seal to unify the written language, although the number of years is short, the influence on the popularization of the text inheritance is extremely far-reaching, and it is not an exaggeration to say that there is a Han nation. However, the lord's set of pinyin, said to be from the Tessie Latin alphabet, although the first reading is awkward, but it is forced out of Zhaoling Xu Jun's "Saying Wen Jie Zi" is very much. If one day, the lord can... To be able to dying the world, to carry out this method of recitation. Scholars all over the world are grateful for his merits, and the Chinese nation will worship the virtue of the Lord if it can be inherited. In the past, Cangjie made words, and hundreds of ghosts cried at night, but now the lord does not let the sages focus on beauty. ”

Seeing Xi Zhicai's sacred expression, the joy and excitement in Guo Jia's heart were indescribable, and he only lowered his head to drink water, hiding the divine light in his eyes.

Guo Bin, who was far away in Fulong Villa, naturally had no way of knowing the mental journey of Xi Zhicai and Guo Jia, who was an inferior student in his previous life, was trying to recall the three laws of Newtonian mechanics taught to him by his physics teacher. Scholars of the Han Dynasty may not pay attention to these three small laws, but the laws of mechanics that led Britain to the entrance of modern civilization and made Britain proud of the world for two centuries in later generations will certainly fundamentally promote the transformation of the economic pattern of the Han Dynasty and the fate of the Chinese nation.

Butterflies need to flap their wings, but they also have to be flapped in the right place to cause a tornado in North America, otherwise what's the difference between farting and farting?

Taizu created pinyin in Fulongshan College, and those who learn Chinese characters must learn pinyin from then on; He also created vertical arithmetic and simple symbols, which will be the foundation for those who practice mathematics from now on. Only the three laws of mechanics created by Taizu are not valued by the people of the time. However, in less than ten years, Taizu relied on it to drive vertically and horizontally, and there was no one in the world who could be it.
