said that Li Boran was moved, and the purpose of Li Zheng's line was basically achieved.

The next step is to prepare.

Lingzhou County has 13 townships, and each township has to purchase a academy. Each academy needs at least one courtyard, a teacher, and a class of cooks. This is the simplest equipment.

In terms of teachers, Li Boran volunteered to take on, he has lived in Lingzhou for more than 20 years, and there are hundreds of students he has taught.

Although most of them did not get a good development because of their background or other reasons, and even went back to the countryside to farm. Over the years, most people have not had the mind and opportunity to further study because of their livelihood, and most of them have low academic ability, but they are more than enough for enlightenment education.

Li Zheng promised that as long as Li Boran's students were willing to be teachers, they would have one of four stones of grain or four hundred yuan every month.

For this reason, Li Boran seemed very happy.

It's just that these students of his have not studied in vain, and while supporting their families, they have almost assumed the sacred responsibility of disseminating cultural knowledge, which makes him feel very relieved.

Now that the teacher is there, then the next thing is the venue.

There is one academy in each township, and the area should not be too small. After all, it's aimed at all school-age children in the entire township, or those who are interested in learning. It is also necessary to consider the accommodation problem of some students who are too far away from home, so they need dormitories.

In this way, each academy will cost at least thousands of dollars or even one gold.

Thirteen academies, as far as the venue is concerned, will cost at least ten gold.

There are also the salaries of the cooks, the expenses of daily life, and the salaries for the teachers, and the total cost of at least thousands of dollars or even one gold per college every month.

In this way, the cost of education in the entire Lingzhou is a lot of money.

Now Li Zheng is in control of Lingzhou's taxes, and the caravans under Caochang also have income, but the money has to be used to resettle the homeless, transform Lingzhou, feed the army, etc., etc., which is very reluctant.

After all, Li Zheng's industry has not yet expanded to support all the consumption of a county.

But no matter how headache it is, Li Zheng knows that this is a must. And the sooner you do it, the better.

In any case, grit your teeth and squeeze out some

Back at the Huqiang Lieutenant's Mansion, Li Zheng immediately called Zhou Fei and instructed him on the matter of universal education, with only one request, that is, to cooperate with Mr. Li Boran.

Whether you want money or people, you can all agree.

Although Zhou Fei had some objections, he knew that Li Zheng's determination could not be refuted, and it was his duty to do what Li Zheng ordered.

After sending Zhou Fei away, Li Zheng sat silently for a while, only feeling a thousand things in his heart. After a long time, he sighed and said to himself: "It's going to be fine, it's going to be okay." ”

Just then, a voice came.

"Captain Li!"

Li Zheng looked up, but it turned out to be Xun You.

So he hurriedly got up, bowed, and said, "Mr. Gongda has worked hard these days. ”

Xun You returned the salute and said with a smile: "What's so hard." It's Captain Li, I see that you are a little worried, why don't you say it and refer to it for details? ”

Li Zheng laughed and said, "What can you worry about?" As he spoke, his voice changed, and he said, "I don't know what I said the day before yesterday, what is it now?" ”

"It's almost done." Xun You saw that Li Zheng didn't want to mention his sorrows, so he followed Li Zheng's words and said: "Tong Guò Yu and Zhou Lin's caravan spread rumors, and the two-pronged approach must be less than ten days and a half months, then Han Sui should take action." ”

The people who came and went from the south to the north were all merchants. Although the situation in Liangzhou is tense now, it can't stop the fiery hearts of these businessmen. Through them, the purpose of spreading the message can be easily achieved.

As for Zhou Lin's caravan, it was an additional addition.

"That's right."

As he was talking, Xun You turned his words and asked: "Captain Li, I look at the sewer project in Lingzhou City, and there seems to be something inappropriate, I don't know whether to talk about it or not." ”

"Oh?"

Li Zheng was slightly stunned, puzzled. What's wrong with the sewer?

"Listen to me."

Xun You said with a smile: "The sewer connects the inside and outside of the city wall, and Captain Li can know that if Lingzhou City is besieged, the sewer will be a big flaw." ”

"Huh?!"

Li Zheng couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, and his mind quickly worked.

The more I thought about it, the more I felt that Xun You's words made sense.

When proposing to build sewers, Li Zheng did not think of this problem. The inherent thinking brought with him from that era still influences his judgment.

In this era, the city walls were the main defensive structure. If there is a flaw, then the fun will be great.

But in the blink of an eye, Li Zheng laughed in his heart again.

If there really is a day when he is beaten by the enemy to Lingzhou City, it will also indicate that Li Zheng is almost done playing. In a small city like Lingzhou, the defensive strength of the city wall is just like that, in comparison, whether there is a sewer or not, whether there is a flaw or not, there is not much difference!

Thinking of this, Li Zheng was calm, laughed, and said, "Although Mr. Gongda's words are reasonable, Li does not dare to agree. ”

"Oh?" Xun You showed a listening look.

"The walls are not a defense, but a bondage! It's an act of weakness! Attack, only attack, constant attack, is the best defense! ”

"Li will not let the enemy have a chance to come to the city, if it really comes to that moment, it can only explain one problem, that is, Li is incompetent, damn it!"

"I have heard that the royal people are outside the country, Li thinks so. Furthermore, Mr. Gongda thinks that how many enemy troops can be defended against in a small city of Lingzhou? ”

When Xun You heard this, his eyes couldn't help but light up, but he said: "Captain Li's concept is indeed different. But there is no absolute thing in this world, can Captain Li dare to guarantee that no matter at any time, he will not let the enemy soldiers come to the city?! ”

"Huh,"

Li Zheng smiled leisurely and said: "This is just a concept, Li advocates offense, and has always thought that the best defense is offense." What I can do is to implement this idea, but as for being able to do that, I can't make promises, and I can't make promises. ”

Xun You bowed slightly, no longer entangled in this topic.

Next, the two chatted about the past and the present. Xun You is very knowledgeable, and has traveled all over the world to confirm his knowledge. As for Li Zheng, he comes from another era.

The two of them are one yuan and the other are bo, and they complement each other when they chat.

One said that something happened somewhere in the Han Dynasty, there were certain scenes, some interesting characters, and what kind of meaning was there. One said that outside of the Han Dynasty, there are any races, species, and national customs.

For a while, both of them were attracted by the content of each other's words.

When their stomachs growled, the two looked at each other and laughed at the same time.

"Captain Li is so young, and he has such insight, which is really admirable." Xun Yu was sincerely admired.

Li Zheng smiled: "Mr. Gongda's words are always thought-provoking, and they are much more profound than those below. ”

As he spoke, Li Zheng invited Xun You to dine together, and Xun You readily agreed.

So he ordered him to go down and let the kitchen prepare the meal.

But in two quarters of an hour, the meal was served, and the two of them began to eat.

Needless to say, Li Zheng thinks he is a martial artist, and he eats with a big open and close.

And Xun You is not bad, his movements are elegant, but his speed is not slow.

Eating without saying a word, the two didn't talk again until they finished eating.

"I have traveled all over the world, and I have been an official in Luoyang for several years, but when it comes to food, I really have to be the first in Lingzhou!" Xun You was full of wine and food, and said with a smile: "Dare to ask Captain Li, what kind of grain is this wheat rice made of?" And this meat, too, makes people want to eat it. ”

Li Zheng laughed and said: "I didn't expect the world-famous Xun Gongda to be delicious." ”

"Food, clothing, shelter and transportation are people's natural desires. Confucius said, eating and drinking men and women, people's great desire to survive. The confession also said that the color eating sex is also. Xun You smiled and said: "Xun is also a mortal, why can't it be delicious?!" ”

Hearing this, Li Zheng couldn't help but secretly admire.

Even the delicious food was pulled to the saint, and he really deserved to be a great talent.

So he smiled and said: "Mr. Gongda knows that he can't understand the scriptures and righteousness, so don't use the words of the sages to fool him." ”

"Hey, that's not a fool."

Xun You straightened up and said, "What Xun said is the truth. ”

Li Zheng didn't want to argue, so he said: "This wheat rice is made of ginseng wheat, and as for this meat, one of the pots is red jade bird meat, and the other pot is echinoderm meat. ”

"Ginseng wheat? Red Jade Bird? Acanthus? Xun You was stunned for a moment and said, "Forgive me for being lonely and unheard, I have never heard of it." ”

"Hehe, this is a Lingzhou specialty." Li Zheng said with a smile: "From the beginning of winter, ginseng wheat will be gradually popularized in the next year, and by this time next year, every household in Lingzhou must eat ginseng wheat rice." As for the red jade bird and the echinoderm, I will also see the opportunity to gradually popularize it. ”

Ginseng wheat is a food crop that Li Zheng has long decided to popularize and plant, and as for the red jade bird and the echinoderm, Li Zheng also has this plan. However, the latter two types of livestock are not available in large numbers now, and it may take some time for them to become popular.

Since it is to be popularized, it is naturally not afraid to be known.

"Oh!"

Xun You was surprised.

In his inertial thinking, as long as it is a good thing, generally speaking, it will be grasped in his hand, regarded as an exclusive treasure, and will never be passed on.

The big families in the Central Plains are all doing this.

He didn't expect that Li Zheng would popularize it.

This kind of approach, this kind of open-mindedness, really made Xun Yu sigh in his heart, and couldn't help but make a gesture, and said: "The captain is open-minded, I admire it." ”

Li Zheng waved his hand and said with a smile: "What is this?" As the governor of this place, I naturally have to think about the people here. Besides, these are not unusual things, what's the matter with hiding them?! ”
