Shang Weiyang and Pan Jian did not return to the imperial capital for a month, and rode around the villages around the imperial capital, during which Shang Weiyang killed more than a dozen monks who did not enter the stream, and rescued more than a dozen teenagers from his hands, most of their situation was similar to Pan Jian, they were isolated and alienated by the villagers after their parents were absent. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info thus fell victim to the monk's coming and deceiving.

Through these things, Wei Yang finally figured out the situation of the people at the bottom of the Great Qin Empire: four words to summarize, ignorant and ignorant. Land is the only thing they rely on for survival, but their weak bodies and backward technology can only barely eat enough to eat, and a slight natural and man-made disaster is a big thing for them.

And whenever the grain grown is not enough to eat, they can only borrow grain from the landlord and gentry, and they can only sell the land if they can't afford it, and finally become the landlord's farmer step by step, just a slave with a free identity, but tied up by the field, popularly speaking, it is a field slave!

The landlords relied on advanced technologies such as cattle and horses, iron ploughs and other technologies to increase their output, and annexed the land step by step, and all the land in the last village was reduced to the landlords, and behind the landlords were either sects or nobles, with strong force, and the field slaves could not resist no matter what.

After these words were told to the teenagers of Panjian, the group of people all gritted their teeth, it turned out that they and the people in the village were no different from slaves for so many years.

The only way to change this situation is to develop the productive forces, so that ordinary people can have the strength to rival the monks, but this is indeed a long-term undertaking, and it will take at least a hundred years.

Shang Weiyang rescued these children, not only with kindness, but more importantly, because teenage children have not yet been assimilated by this environment, and it is also the most convenient to teach.

On the last day of the mission, after Shang Weiyang settled the child in the mansion, he hurriedly went to Mingyue Academy to resume his life.

After arriving at the academy, most of the disciples of the cultivation department have already completed the task, and those who have not come back have already received news that they have died in the mission, Shang Weiyang can be said to be the last to come back, which is also Shang Weiyang once again felt the bloodshed of the cultivation world, either you die or I die.

Seeing the elder, Shang Weiyang added fuel and vinegar to the matter of the sudden intervention of the Flame Sect Master, and added the rumors of Lian Chuang walking, which can be regarded as a foolish pass, and he barely completed the task.

With the end of the mission time, there are still five months left before the time for the three imperial academies to compete. The Great Elder then announced that the next four months would be free cultivation and then select candidates to participate in the competition of the three empires.

When Shang Weiyang returned to the mansion, he also handed over Pan Jian and the others to Zhang Long and Zhao Hu to see if they had cultivation qualifications, and taught them knowledge according to the textbooks compiled by Shang Weiyang.

The textbook compiled by Shang Weiyang is actually a simplified version of the nine-year compulsory education, and Zhang Long and Zhao Hu also relied on the strong memory of the monks to barely learn, as for these children, they can only carry out cramming education, and there is no way to really lack manpower and time.

After dealing with the children, Shang Weiyang began to prepare for the competition of the three imperial academies, this competition is actually very important, even if it is just to represent the Bright Moon Academy, he will be rewarded with a magic weapon.

Shang Weiyang planned to use the current equipment to start assisting in body refining, and after consulting Ma Tao as a guide and designing it himself, the cultivation equipment was manufactured one by one in one day, and Ma Tao was stunned for a while. After the equipment was built, Ma Tao went up to practice for a while and said in surprise: "This thing is much more efficient than my usual stone lifting, and each instrument is aimed at different body parts, and the strength can be controlled, so you can practice for weaknesses." No, you have to get me a set of such a good thing. ”

Shang Weiyang agreed without saying a word, it was worth it to get the guidance of the cultivation genius of Mingyue Academy and send a set of cultivation equipment!

After sending Ma Tao and a set of cultivation equipment away, Shang Weiyang was about to turn around in the following days, designing some conceptual weapons such as fire spirit stone bullets during the day, or going to the school while the children went to class, and at night he was practicing frantically in the cultivation room.

In this way, Shang Weiyang's cultivation soared in three months, and at this time it was already the eighth grade of qi refining, and there were faint signs of breaking through to the ninth grade.

In the past three months, Shang Weiyang selected more than 50 children among the orphans in the city and established the Truth School. The huge mansion was already a little crowded at this time, and with the workers trained by the printing workshop, there were already more than 100 people in the entire mansion at this time.

The monthly cost of gold coins alone is more than 50,000, with the success of the fire spirit stone bullet, Shang Weiyang does not dare to spend money indiscriminately, now the price of paper has dropped, the price of books, relying on the printing press The profit is not bad, but these are small money, and it is not enough to go to Mingyue Pavilion to stuff the teeth, so this is why Shang Weiyang has only designed drawings and not experimented recently, and the money is not enough to burn.

When there is a shortage of money, it can often awaken people's memories, and Shang Weiyang finally remembered that there was also a storage ring left by the Fire Sect Master in the storage ring.

After dripping blood and recognizing the master, Shang Weiyang was disappointed for a while, this old miscellaneous fish was actually poorer than him, the storage ring was only one cubic meter, and there were only a dozen or so heavenly crystals in it, and there was also a fire attribute method cultivation method that did not enter the stream.

After taking out the things, Shang Weiyang contacted the owner of the storage ring and gave it to Zhang Long, after all, now Zhang Long and Zhao Hu are now going to teach and train workers, and it will be much more convenient to have a storage ring.

When Shang Weiyang was thinking about how to make money, the servant came to report, and His Royal Highness the Third Prince came to visit.

Shang Weiyang immediately came to the living room after hearing this, and sure enough, the prince who bought the book that day was sitting in the living room, but today the prince came alone, and he did not bring two guards, maybe something has been determined in the imperial city.

Shang Weiyang saw the third prince and hurriedly saluted and invited him to take a seat. And the third prince was a little embarrassed and said: "Brother Shang, let's meet again, last time there were many people, it was inconvenient to show your identity, forgive me, Qin Zheng has a little courtesy here, please smile." ”

With that, he took out a tray from the storage ring, on which twenty spars were neatly placed. Shang Weiyang didn't politely take it, and then put it in the storage ring, and smiled at Qin Zheng: "I don't know what happened to the third prince's arrival?"

Sure enough, the third prince laughed after hearing this: "Actually, there are really two things to ask Brother Shang for help today, one is that the price of paper has plummeted now, and my father wants to issue a decree to the world, and he needs Brother Shang's printing technology, and the other thing is my own business, I heard that Brother Shang has made a set of refining equipment, and I also want to purchase a set." ”

After Shang Weiyang heard this, he thought for a while and said, "I don't know if His Majesty the Emperor is willing to buy more money for a printing press?"

After hearing this, the third prince replied: "The 10,000 gold coins that my father quoted me for a total of 1,000 units." As for my body refining equipment, I am willing to bid 10,000 gold coins. ”

Shang Weiyang laughed after hearing this: "Since Your Majesty likes it, then trade it at the price given by Your Majesty, as for the cultivation equipment, His Royal Highness the Prince is polite, I, Shang Weiyang, am not a stingy person, so why not give His Highness a set!"

After hearing this, Qin Zheng was overjoyed that the task this time was completed, but obviously Qin Zheng did not plan to leave here, and said to Shang Weiyang: "Since it has been agreed, then I still have a reluctant request, I don't know if Brother Shang can agree?"

"Oh, let's hear it?" Shang Weiyang wondered.

"I don't know if Brother Shang has the desire to become an official in the court? Brother Shang's invention of papermaking and printing technology has reduced the cost of learning for people in the world by a hundredfold. Listening to Zhai Qingquan, the old master of Mingyue Academy, Brother Shang has a unique set of productivity theories, I don't know if he can contribute to Great Qin?" Qin Zheng stared at Shang Weiyang solemnly.

"Hahahaha, why should Your Highness be so troublesome, I will take office in Blackstone City in two years, and you will understand when the time comes. Shang Weiyang had no intention of becoming an official for the time being, so he could only refuse politely.

Qin Zheng was disappointed for a while after hearing this, but he didn't give up, and still said: "I heard that Brother Shang has set up a Mengxue Academy, I wonder if you can visit it?"

had already rejected Qin Zheng once, and Shang Weiyang was not good at refusing, so he had to accompany Qin Zheng to visit the Truth School. Before the two of them arrived in the school, they heard the sound of reading aloud, the bright moonlight in front of the bed, and the frost on the ground. Raise your head to look at the bright moon and bow your head to think of your hometown. This is a poem used in textbooks to teach literacy, and in the previous life, almost all Chinese people would recite this poem.

But now Qin Zheng heard it for the first time, so he was surprised: "What a poem, just twenty words can vividly express the feeling of homesickness, who did this, Brother Shang?"

Shang Weiyang's old face turned red after hearing this, and said, "Uh... I wrote this. ”

Qin Zheng was also surprised by this, he didn't expect Shang Weiyang to have such literary talent, and at this time, he couldn't wait to walk towards the school.

The two entered the school, Shang Weiyang signaled Zhao Hu not to stop teaching, so he sat in the last row with Qin Zheng, and after bringing a set of textbooks, Qin Zheng found that he could only understand poetry books, and other mathematics, physics and other books could not be understood, and the content in them was like a ghost painting.

But even so, from the poems and articles in the Chinese textbook, Qin Zheng can also see that Shang Weiyang has great talents, and the poems in the book are not something that ordinary talents can write.

After visiting the school, Qin Zheng was a little regretful, but he still signed an order with Shang Weiyang and said goodbye.

And Shang Weiyang immediately summoned Zhang Long and the workers to prepare to start manufacturing printing presses, after all, the huge amount of 10 million gold coins could support him to do some long-awaited experiments.
