What Cen Tao said, Zhang Han already knew, bowed his head slightly, and made a deaf look, and his thoughts drifted away. When Zhang Han went to the village yesterday, he went to the place where the children were tucked into classes. The New Year is not over yet, and the children have not started classes since. But walking in the lecture hall, Zhang Han seemed to hear the sound of the children reading aloud in a trance. Zhang Han remembers the appearance at that time. Stroking the desk, Zhang Han unconsciously laughed stupidly. These are his disciples, of course, in Zhang Han's mind, their role is by no means limited to this. If they fail, they will naturally be suspended, but if they do succeed, they will be of great use.

Now, Zhang Han has a little confidence in the future. No matter what, saving your life is no longer a problem. Naturally, Zhang Han had to look at Shu and had other thoughts. Now, creating an empire is no longer enough for Zhang Han, he wants more.

"This is not difficult, it is estimated that within five years, literacy classes can be all over the Zhang family. However, as things have progressed to the point, I have very little work, and I have basically nothing to do with selecting a few suitable students to preside over in each village......

"Yuanbo, don't say that, you will be busy after a while, but remember what you said today!"

Hearing Cen Tao complain about idleness, Zhang Han made fun of it.

"After the New Year, Yuanxi will go to Linzi with me, and the ethnography will be handed over to you."

This arrangement was a bit surprising to everyone, and after careful consideration, it was a matter of course. Cen Tao is a steady and rigorous person, and the inside and outside of ethnography have basically been determined, and with his character, it is not a problem to keep it. Moreover, Cen Tao is the son of Cen Hui and has a certain prestige in ethnology. However, the Cen family and his son are not the Zhang family after all, and it is impossible to shake Zhang Han's prestige. If Cen Tao wants to buy people's hearts like Zhang Han, it is also unrealistic. Zhang Han handed over the family science to him, and he could leave with confidence. Of course, everyone here knows the former, and some people think of the latter, but no one will say it.

"Yuan Bo, you can leave the idle errand to Zhong Quan!"

Zhang Lu is only nineteen years old this year, his eyebrows and eyes are very similar to his mother, he is a handsome young man, tall, seven feet nine inches, and his body is strong. Since two years ago, Zhang Lu has also started to travel abroad. When I was called over today, I knew that something was handed over to him, and I couldn't help but be a little disappointed when I heard that it was this matter at the moment. Zhang Lu's thoughts, Zhang Han could see it at a glance.

"Zhongquan, don't think that this matter is simple and unimportant. No accumulation of steps, no thousands of miles; If you don't accumulate small streams, you can't become a river. Yuan Bo is familiar with it, thinks it is simple, and you will know trivial when you do it. Also, in the future, the selection of slaves will be less and less, at most occasionally, and the enrollment in the future of the clan will be dominated by this part......"

"Yes! I must be attentive. ”

Zhang Lu has always respected Zhang Han's brother, and when Zhang Han said something, his face was a little red, so he paid attention to it, and hurriedly responded. Stuffing Zhang Lu into the family science can be regarded as a balance. With Zhang Lu's identity, his existence itself cannot be ignored. Fight tiger brothers, go into battle father and son soldiers. Zhang Han intended to cultivate him, so he said a few more words. Seeing that Zhang Lu listened, Zhang Han didn't say anything more.

"After several years of extermination, the number of bandits in Lu has greatly decreased, and with it, we have fewer and fewer opportunities to fight," Zhang Huan looked around, "I don't know if you have any ideas?" ”

Xiang Feng was distracted, Zhang Lu bowed his head and was silent, and Cen Tao shook his head...... Zhang Huan finally set his eyes on Zhang Han. Zhang Han frowned and thought about it, there is really no good way. There are certainly many opportunities to go to the border counties, but unfortunately the danger is too great to be cost-effective.

"Well, that's it for now. Actual combat opportunities are reserved for the best, and training and confrontational exercises are strengthened in ethnography. If actual combat is required, the interns will be assigned to the caravan. Starling, look ......"

"So be it! However, when I joined the county army, it was mainly to provide opportunities for actual combat. Now that there is no real combat opportunity......"

"Starling, it's not easy for you to achieve this position now, I heard that it will go further in the near future, so continue to stay in the county soldiers! The country of Lu is the foundation of the Zhang family, and someone needs to stay here and wait. Zhang Jiao is demagogic and ambitious, and in a few years, there will be unforeseen disasters. At this time, starlings can't leave.

Not only can't you leave, but you also have to find a way to establish prestige among the county soldiers and promote some trustworthy ones, so as to effectively control the county soldiers. If something happens, protect your home. ”

"Okay! It's not that hard. However, if I want to effectively control the county soldiers, I still need manpower......"

"How much?"

"Fifty, or thirty!"

Zhang Jian's head shook like a plucked drum,

"That can't be! Ethnography only graduated 117 last year, and it will not exceed 170 this year, where can I give you so much, caravan, Lunan, Haiqu, there are many places to ask for people from ethnology, and there are seventeen there this year. If you are eight, ten or eight, you may be able to make it up, but don't think about it if you have more......"

"That's fine, but I'll have to pick and choose!"

"Old eight, you wanted to say this early in the morning, it's impossible! It's talent, and it can't all be left to you......"

"Okay, okay, you can discuss this matter privately for a while, and continue to get down to business!" Zhang Han interrupted the argument between the two.

Xiang Feng Zicheng, one year older than Zhang Lu, with a medium build, clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, and a little white face. He is the eldest grandson of Xiang Rang, and unlike Xiang Rang, Xiang Feng is very sensitive to numbers and has a special talent for business, business, and accounts. When Zhang Han set up a textile workshop, Xiang Feng saved him a lot of money, and since then he has participated in the operation and management of the workshop as a member of the textile workshop.

Xiang Feng gave a brief introduction to last year's expenditure. Roughly speaking, it is that the year before last year did not make less money, but not enough to spend last year, the gap was more than 20 million, with last year's income to make up, this year there are 80 million disposable income, it is expected that there will be a lot of clouds.

"Okay, that's the way it is, I won't say more, everyone can save, or save some, and there will only be more and more places to use money in the future.

The textile workshop will be handed over to Zicheng, everyone needs money, and within the quota, you can directly find Zicheng to ask for it - and then hand over the accounts. If you have additional needs, you can discuss with the starling, if you can't decide, write to me again, anyway, Linzi and Lu are not far away.

Also, the fleet needs manpower, I looked at the records, the most go to the caravan, there are many who stay in the clan study, and there are some who go to the botanical gardens, workshops and shipyards, but there are no people who are willing to go to the fleet, this is not good, the fleet will become more and more important in the future......"

The matter of the fleet was not discussed. To be honest, if Zhang Han was replaced, he would not be willing to go. Young and promising, there is a place to go, who wants to go to the fleet, it is difficult and dangerous, I can't tell when there is a storm, I don't see anyone, I don't see the body, and I become a missing person. Even if the student is personally willing, his family will not agree.

Cen Tao took on such an unlucky errand before taking office, and he couldn't help but frown.

In the end, Zhang Han had no choice but to tell Cen Tao that it was necessary to carry out in-depth propaganda and mobilization - how many can be deceived is a few, gold, treasures, fairyland and so on, but the hardships must also be made clear. Of course, this is very difficult, it is human nature to live and die, to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. There was really no one to go, so I had to recruit a special batch for the fleet.

The small workshop improved the crossbow, the ballista cart, the compass and the telescope, and the model of the stone cart was built. Only a very small amount of these unsightly things are used for training and experiments. The giant crossbows and other equipment equipped by the fleet are all improved by imitating the standard equipment of the Han Kingdom. In addition, the textile machinery has also been further improved, the new hydraulic spinning machine has 300 spindles, and the silk reeling machine and loom used for textile silk have also been completed, and the efficiency is ten times that of the past. It is worth mentioning the emergence of textile machinery such as cotton binding machines that use cotton as raw materials. Although it is rough and has various defects, the original yarn machine and loom are also like this. According to the usual practice, Zhang Han held a solemn ceremony, personally announced the awards, and encouraged them to make persistent efforts and study hard.

Zhang Han came and went in Bian Nanzhuang in a hurry, and only stayed for three days, but the harvest was huge. At the end of the meeting, everyone worked together to establish the master and slave with formal etiquette - all without exception, whether it was Zhang Jian and Xiang Feng, who had already bowed, or Zhang Han's own brother Zhang Lu, they all offered their loyalty to Zhang Han in a feverish atmosphere. Everyone here knows that in the troubled times, Zhang Han has the ability and ambition to make a career.

Zhang Han worked hard for a long time, and then he officially established his small team. However, Zhang Han also knows that this is just the beginning. The flight of the blue fly is only a few martial arts, and the tail attached to it can reach thousands of miles. Everyone pinned their expectations on Zhang Han, and if Zhang Han couldn't respond to this expectation, he would eventually be abandoned.
