178. How can you talk about Zhou etiquette to the corrupt Confucianism (2)
Li Husan and they sent three batches of sand and gravel back to the village, although it has entered October, but Qinzhou is still quite hot, everyone is sweating, and everyone will open their coats, revealing their chests.
"These children are a good life, thieves, not only do they go to school, but the main family also covers their board and lodging!"
Today's sand and gravel are all delivered to the school site, and they now have an idea of the school that will be built. This is a school that can accommodate 250 children, and the school has a special canteen, dormitory, and all fees are free for children in Xinxiangzhai.
"But the food and lodging of those children are not covered." Another Haikou Road.
"It's natural not to be included, we Han people can't take care of our own children, but we go to take care of other people's children, isn't it stupid?"
"As it should ......"
Li Husan was a little annoyed when he heard this, before this, there was no Hanyi distinction in their hearts, otherwise they would not follow Liu Xianglao, who colluded with Hongmaofan. But in the past few days, I have been working during the day every day, and during my rest time, I have listened to the stories told by the people of Xinxiangzhai, such as "The Biography of Jingzhong Yue Fei", "Li Jing Sweeping the North", "Xue Rengui's Expedition to the West" and other commentaries.
The storytellers are Liu Jingting's three disciples, and these three people are also invited by Yu Guozhen with a high salary. Li Husan and his gang heard it a few times, and they also began to know the distinction between Han and Yi.
This is a conspiracy, although Li Husan also guessed that Yu Guozhen wanted to subtly influence them, but he was helpless about it.
"It would be nice if my little rabbit could go to school in such a school." Another whispered.
As soon as he said this, he saw Xun Shilu holding a **-year-old child and passing in front of them proudly, but this time Xun Shilu didn't say hello to them.
looked like he was afraid that he would recognize them and lose his identity.
"Xun Shilu's ...... Already have a son? Someone wondered.
"That's not his son, it's his nephew, with the permission of the owner of the village, he will be enrolled in the Xinxiangzhai School." The guard who supervised them spoke unhurriedly at this time: "It is said that the boy is smart, and Xun Shilu completely treats him as his own son. ”
"Maybe it's his own son, hahaha, it's not as delicious as dumplings, but it's fun as his sister-in-law......"
"Shut up, if you want to eat the whip, I'm willing to call Deputy Bureau Xun for you." The young man of the guard heard these Haikou start to talk and shouted angrily.
All the Haikou laughed: "Little brother, you are still tender, still tender, do you have long hair?" ”
The young man of Jiawei suddenly waved his whip and whipped the most ferocious people twice, making them scream, and then Li Husan drank: "When is it, and there is still such energy?" ”
When they were talking, they saw movement in the stockade again, and Yu Guozhen accompanied Zheng Zhilong and walked out of the stockade again.
Li Husan glared at this group of people, in his mind, Zheng Zhilong was insatiable, and even if Yu Guozhen had a backer in the court, the two would inevitably break up unhappily. But to his surprise, everyone in this group had a smile on their faces, and the smile on Zheng Zhilong's face was even more obvious.
"These two are the guys who asked my brother to pull a knife behind his back, this laugh must be fake." Li Husan thought in his heart.
As a result, when Zheng Zhilong and the others came to everyone, Zheng Zhilong stopped again, turned back to Yu Guozhen and said: "Brother Yu, this Li Husan is the number one general under Liu Xiang's old men, let him do hard labor, it is a bit overkill, if my brother listens to me, I will give him a few boats, and no one dares to touch his brother's tiger whiskers on the West Sea." ”
"Now that the younger brother has Yu Dahai and Xun Shilu, no one on the West Sea dares to touch the little brother's scales, if the younger brother uses this Li Husan again, I'm afraid that you won't be able to sleep your brother." Yu Guozhen laughed and said: "Unless there is a war with the ghosts, and the younger brother is in urgent need of fierce generals, I think it is more appropriate for Li Husan and his subordinates to do hard labor honestly." ”
Li Husan and the others immediately glared at Yu Guozhen angrily, while Zheng Zhilong laughed and shook his finger at Yu Guozhen: "Brother, you really ...... Worthy of the Hidden Dragon. ”
The two of them are intrigued, and others can't understand it, at least Li Husan can't understand it. Zheng Zhilong persuaded Yu Guozhen to continue to send him off, and he returned to his ship like this, and then sailed away.
After getting on the boat, the smile on Zheng Zhilong's face retracted, and one of the people next to him asked, "Big brother, what do you think of that Yu Zhai master?" ”
"Ten years later, it's my rival at sea." Zheng Zhilong said: "Compared with them, Liu Xianglao and Li Husan are just pigs and dogs. ”
"Big brother actually praised him so much? If so, why don't you end him up, but marry him? ”
"If I turn against him, it will be difficult for the court and Governor Xiong to explain, and besides, if he wants to become my fierce rival at sea, it will be ten years at the earliest. Now that I am in control of Zhejiang and Fujian, and I have newly won Guangdong, in another ten years, my boat man can be tripled, even if he can reach the scale of Liu Xianglao, what can he do with me? Zheng Zhilong smiled: "Let's wait and see what he thinks." ”
"Master Yuzhai, what do you think?" Li Husan saw that Zheng Zhilong's ship had set sail, but Yu Guozhen was still here and had not returned, of course he knew that Yu Guozhen was not really here to send Zheng Zhilong, but had something to say to him.
"I agreed with Zheng Yiguan that the East China Sea belongs to him and the West Sea belongs to me, and I can go to Guangzhou to handle twenty-five ships of goods." Yu Guozhen smiled slightly: "Li Husan, you have been on the sea for many years, what do you think of my conditions?" ”
"Stupid, stupid." Li Husan scolded without hesitation, this was a rare opportunity for him to vent the depression in his chest: "Guangzhou is a port, and the annual import and export goods are limited, where do you go to buy twenty-five ships?" ”
Yu Guozhen smiled, Li Husan's idea should be the same as Zheng Zhilong's idea, and he felt that his condition was actually stupid.
But none of them realized that Yu Guozhen went to Guangzhou, not to order goods at all, but to sell goods!
Cotton cloth, soap, plus the future of ironware, glass, these products, with the expansion of the scale of Xinxiang, the output will be more and more, among which cotton cloth and ironware, can be sold to Southeast Asia, but soap and glass, need to be sold to the Ming itself.
Therefore, Yu Guozhen likes this the most!
"Haha......" he laughed twice, then turned and walked away. Li Husan looked at him inexplicably from behind, feeling strange in his heart, Yu Guozhen's appearance did not seem to be annoyed and angry, but seemed to disdain to see him in general.
Could it be that I really ...... What's missing?
Not to mention that Li Husan was thinking crankily in his heart, after Yu Guozhen returned to the village, he did not rush back to the study, but went around to several construction sites.
If there is no accident, it will be ten days at most, and he will leave for the north, and now that even the Zheng family has been stabilized, then he will not have to worry about safety at all when he leaves Xinxiang for a while.
There is Wang Chuanlu, the governor of the official face, Luo Jiuhe, Zhang Zheng, and Jiang'an on his side, and sometimes Luo Dong and Zheng's family are foreign aid...... The only thing that still worries Yu Guozhen is the infrastructure of Xinxiangzhai. Needless to say, the water canals in the village are the places that Yu Guozhen pays the most attention to.
Yu Guozhen's attention to the school, even to the point of paranoia, now Xinxiang can be described as a waste to be built, like a kiln, soap field, all need labor and materials, but Yu Guozhen would rather let the speed of those two places slow down a little, but also speed up the construction of the school.
Therefore, on the construction site of the school, there are now more than 200 laborers working under the leadership of plasterers, and Lei Wangcheng, the old man of the Lei family, is personally present and uses a ruler to measure the east and west from time to time. Seeing Yu Guozhen coming, he didn't put down the work in his hand, but found two plasterers to point to the wall and say a few more words, and then walked over slowly.
He is an old man, and he knows that Yu Guozhen doesn't care whether he is respectful on the surface, but more concerned about whether the work he is responsible for will go wrong.
"The progress of the petty officials is very smooth, the people are full of hands and stones, and everyone has great momentum to do their work." He smiled on his old face: "Little officials, just rest assured!" ”
"That's nature, with Leon watching, what am I worried about?" Yu Guozhen stretched out his hand and pointed to a corner of the school: "After it is completed, I will ask people to erect a monument here, and the names of all the craftsmen who participated in the construction of this school will be recorded on it, and Lei Weng will be the first." I've thought of all the words, 'Xinxiang Primary School, built by Chief Engineer Lei Wangcheng...... Hahahaha! ”
"The petty official is like this, he wants to force the old man to exert 12% of his strength, if there is any omission, shouldn't future generations point to the old man's name and scold?" The Thunder King became enlightened.
"Leon's words are too far, if it were someone else, I would definitely use this method, but for Leon, what do I have to worry about, in the future, the Lei family will be a signboard for thousands of years!"
The two talked about it for a while, went around the school's engineering site for a week, and when they encountered some places, Lei Wangcheng would explain to Yu Guozhen. Yu Guozhen himself doesn't understand architecture, but Lei Wangcheng is indeed a master of architecture at this time, and the old man speaks very concisely and clearly, even Yu Guozhen, a layman, also nodded again and again.
At this moment, a family guard hurriedly came over: "Little official, Mr. Xu and Mr. Zhi are back." ”
"Oh...... What did you find? Yu Guozhen's spirit suddenly perked up.
Mr. Xu is Xu Xiake, and the last time he was exiled did not make this adventurous scholar cower, although now Yu Guozhen did not allow him to go deep into the village, so he changed his direction and followed the prospector introduced by Hu Jingshui to look for ore veins in the east of Qinzhou City.
Mr. Zhi is the prospector introduced by Hu Jingshui, his name is a little strange, it is "one two", prospecting is actually his sideline, this industry is a surveyor, specially designed for people to see feng shui to find the dragon vein. Yu Guozhen originally thought that since he had found iron ore in Qinzhou, it would not be troublesome to return to the old land and find the iron ore again, but the result was unexpected, and until now, there is still no good news.
"The two gentlemen brought a lot of stones, and Mr. Zhi asked me to report the good news to the little official, saying that the iron stone had been found."
"Found it!" Yu Guozhen was overjoyed.
