"Huh, no matter at any time, the people of Jingzhou are a little unbearable."

Back at the State Pastoral Mansion, Yao Yu couldn't help but complain.

The class watcher who followed next to him smiled: "The people are enthusiastic because you are good to them, my lord." From ancient times to the present, there are almost no lords who have served the people so wholeheartedly. Even the ancient kings, who were known for their benevolence and righteousness, could not do so. ”

When Yao Yu heard this, he couldn't help but look back and smile: "Class schedule, you can't do this, I remember that you are not a sycophant." ”

The class table couldn't help blushing, and then snorted: "Lord, this is not a sycophant, this is just telling the truth." ”

Yao Yu laughed when he heard this: "Okay, good, facts, facts." What kind of Lu Bi, you go to the city to invite Hua Sanbo and ask him to treat Lianghu's injuries first. ”

Lu Bi agreed to leave in a voice, and as for Yao Yu, he did not stop, and gathered everyone to ask about the situation in Jingzhou during his three months of absence.

Although everyone felt that Yao Yu had worked hard to come back all the way, they all wanted to let Yao Yu rest.

But how to say it, history has shifted, so that Yao Yu has the idea of resting, he must accumulate his strength as soon as possible and make himself stronger, so as to deal with sudden events that he doesn't know when.

No, seeing Yao Yu so diligent, everyone couldn't help but sigh, and they could only take it seriously and report the situation to Yao Yu.

"Schools in various regions have basically been built and can be used for children to study at any time. In terms of tutorial books, a series of books of sages such as Hanshu, Analects, and Spring and Autumn have been prepared. At present, there are 114,659 students registered. Of these, 67,000 were over the age of 15. These people will study for three years at most, and then they will enter the grassroots level in Jingzhou and become the mainstay of the military and political fields. ”

Tao Ji Yao Zheng was the first to report the situation and said.

Yao Yu nodded and said, "Okay, it's not bad." In that case, a month later, it will be announced that the school will officially open, and all students must be in place. In addition, Tao Ji, how are the teachers you prepared? Is it enough? If it's not enough, I'll find a way to find some more. ”

Tao Ji smiled: "Don't worry, my lord, it's completely enough." And even if it's not enough, you won't have anywhere to look for it. The world of the world, who is not afraid of you. If you want to tell them to bring Jingzhou, these people are scared to death. ”

Yao Yu was stunned when he heard this, and then laughed: "That's what I said." And I'm not at ease with letting outsiders teach me. Well, in that case, you'll be solely responsible for the affairs of the school. ”

After Tao Ji said yes, he respectfully retreated.

Then, Suo Hong moved forward and talked about the livelihood of Jingzhou.

Basically, the grain sown last year is almost ripe, and according to Suo Hong's own estimates, this harvest can be described as a bumper harvest.

It can be expected that after the harvest, the people will no longer need government assistance. The grain harvest alone, after deducting taxes, is enough for everyone to eat until the next year.

Not to mention, there is an autumn harvest in between.

Upon learning the news, Yao Yu breathed a sigh of relief: "This time, Jingzhou's food supply is much easier, and everyone doesn't have to be so tired." ”

said so, but when Suo Hong heard it, he smiled bitterly: "Easy? Don't be kidding. ”

Yao Yu sighed when he heard this: "What do you mean?" ”

"Do you know how much money and grain Jingzhou has spent these days?"

"What?"

"You went. According to the management philosophy of the military waiting for you, the non-commissioned soldiers' salaries and meals are the majority. Not to mention the building of armaments and the expenditure of universities. If you don't think about it, Jingzhou will go bankrupt. ”

Yao Yu showed an embarrassed look on his face: "Is it so fast, I think it's okay." It's also tens of billions of silver. ”

"Have you forgotten, Jingzhou's 140,000 soldiers. That's a lot of money. Every day, the money and food needed for meat alone are massive. ”

Yao Yu: "···"

"Well, I took it for granted. In this case, it is necessary to put the livestock farm on the agenda. ”

Saying that, Yao Yu looked at Wang Xuance: "Xuance, after a few days of rest, you can take a group of soldiers and horses to hunt in the mountains and forests of Jingzhou, remember, catch more female beasts and come back to raise them." It is better to breed large wild boars, hares, etc. Of course, bison, goats and other things can also be picked, don't pick. ”

Wang Xuance paused for a moment: "My lord, if this is the case, how many must be caught to supply the consumption of 140,000 people." ”

"Take your time, let's grab it and buy it at the same time, in short, let's do it first."

Wang Xuance nodded and agreed.

It was Suo Hong who sighed next to him: "Even if this is the case, it is still a little insufficient." After all, in the beginning, income will certainly not keep up with expenses. ”

"That's the only way to go. After all, you can't be a fat person by eating in one bite. Alas, it seems that if we want to be richly free, we have to think of some ideas to make money. You say, how about selling our coal bricks as a means of trade? ”

Everyone was silent, and Suo Hong even snorted: "But Junhou, this thing is not a necessity." That is, it is needed in winter. At other times, you can burn firewood for cooking, and you can't cool down when you burn coal bricks when it's hot. ”

Yao Yu sighed: "That's what I said." That's a real problem. Forget it, don't think about it for now, and wait until there is a suitable business opportunity. ”

Having said that, Suo Hong had no better idea, so he could only do it first.

No, after learning about Suo Hong's affairs, Yao Yu turned his head to look at Jiang Jun again.

The latter was in charge of the affairs of the forging workshop, and when he saw Yao Yu looking at him, he immediately got up and said, "My lord, according to your requirements, the forging workshop has been working day and night these days, creating eight thousand four hundred and thirty-two sets of armor. There were as many as 30,000 swords and spears, and countless arrows. But..."

Yao Yu asked, "But what?" ”

Jiang Jun was even more embarrassed: "Jingzhou's reserves of iron are almost exhausted. The forging progress has been temporarily suspended. ”

"Don't worry about this, this time I went to Luoyang in addition to meeting the little emperor, and I was familiar with my face. also negotiated a business with Sima Yue and reached a cooperation. ”

Everyone was stunned when they heard this: "Cooperation? What cooperation? ”

Yao Yu smiled: "Actually, it's nothing, it's just that there is not enough food in Sima Yue's army." He wants to buy some from me. ”

As soon as he heard this, the class table directly objected: "Lord, by all means, although Jingzhou has a lot of food, it has also been used a lot to help the people these days. In addition, there are 140,000 troops to be fed. Where do we have surplus food? If the food is given to Sima Yue, then if there is any sudden war, our army will have no food to use. ”

When the words of the class schedule fell, Suo Hong, Tao Jiwen and others nodded one after another, all supporting the class schedule's point of view.
