Before Gu Chan came to Beixing Mansion, her impression of Beixing Mansion was only war and bitter cold.

But now, what she sees and hears, is shattering her perception.

Following Lan Ai to the pharmacy, Gu Chan was even more surprised, because the person in charge of the pharmacy turned out to be a woman.

Not only that, but those officials and soldiers were also polite and respectful to this woman.

This completely subverted Gu Chan's inherent concept.

Lan Ai spoke up beside him: "This is the Yunling that the county lord asked the slave maid to take you to meet."

Do you know Yun Ling's origin? ”

Gu Chan shook her head, but guessed: "It must be from a medical family, and there are high-ranking officials and nobles in the family, so she will be given such a privilege." ”

Lan Ai said with a smile: "It's true that Yun Ling was born in a family of medical skills, but in her grandfather's generation, something happened in the family.

Yun Ling's mother was punished for being a lowly woman, and since then she has become a lowly woman, and after Yunling is a lowly, she is naturally also a lowly. ”

Gu Chan's eyes couldn't help but widen, and her face was full of shock.

Lan Ai continued: "Yun Ling is twenty-seven years old this year, and just two years ago, she was just like her mother, a happy woman who was used for entertainment and was despised.

But she was never willing to accept her fate, she studied medicine with her mother when she was young, and when she grew up, she relied on her own medical skills to make her life with her parents better.

When she was young, Yun Ling also met someone who was unladylike, first she spoke sweetly, and then she didn't dare to take responsibility because of the pressure at home, and broke the oath of the two.

Yun Ling was sad for a while, but she didn't get depressed, and she never looked down on herself.

She doesn't have time to be sad, because she doesn't believe in fate, and she wants to seize every opportunity that can change her fate.

The Dawning Academy founded by the county lord is an opportunity to change Yun Ling's fate.

And she, too, clung to it.

Yun Ling can have today's achievements, the county lord is the guide, and the rest are the result of Yun Ling's own efforts. ”

Gu Chan looked at Yun Ling who was busy in a daze, and thousands of thoughts were tumbling in her heart.

On the other side, Gu Ting, who followed Zhuo Fan to visit Guiguang New Town, was also emotional:

"When I was a teenager, I came to Guiguang Town once, ten rooms and nine empty, people withered, and the people did not have food and clothing, which was the real scene at that time, and today's Guiguang City is full of vitality.

In previous years, merchants didn't like to run to the North Star Mansion, but this time Bihua and I came with a caravan.

According to the people of the caravan, there are all kinds of wool products and goat's milk products in Beixingfu today, which are very popular in the capital and other places.

They can make a lot of money by bringing some goods from the capital or the south to sell them, and then buying some goods from this side and selling them back.

Today's Beixing Mansion has a large population, and the people don't have to go hungry, and they can still have spare money to buy things produced in other places.

The prince of Dingxiang Marquis married to the Hongshan tribe, the two parties opened up trade, and everything was developing in a better direction.

Zhuo Tian, you and Qingyu County are in Sheji! ”

Zhuo Fan smiled: "The teacher's words are serious.

The lady often said that there is today in Beixing Mansion, and she and I are just guides, and the number of people who really contribute is uncountable.

The upper and lower officials of the Sansi Yamen, the sergeants who have been stationed in this blood-stained land for many years, and the people who grew up here.

Because of everyone's common desire and efforts, everything is getting better, and it will get better and better. ”

When Gu Ting heard this, he was silent for a long time: "Changtian, take me to Shuguang Academy to have a look." ”

Zhuo Fan glanced at his mentor in surprise, didn't ask too much, and took his mentor to Shuguang Academy.

In more than a year, there have been nearly 100 students in the North Star Branch of Shuguang College.

Among them, there are also some yamen officials who work and study at the same time, or garrison soldiers.

In addition to a few inherent gentlemen who were transferred from the General Academy, there were also many officials who liked to read "Dawn Collection" and spontaneously came to be temporary teachers.

This greatly relieved the pressure on him and his mother.

However, the dean's candidate has not been decided, which has greatly increased the workload of him and his wife.

After Gu Ting entered Shuguang Academy, he first communicated with several gentlemen, and then integrated into the students, which made people mistakenly think that he was a new student, and taught him a lot of experience.

Zhuo Fan: "......"

It seems that his mentor doesn't need him to come forward, and he can be like a fish in water in the academy.

He knew that his teacher had always had affinity, but he didn't expect that the other party could talk about whimsical topics with these students with different identities.

This is a mentor that Zhuo Fan has never seen before.

It wasn't until it was dark that Gu Ting left Shuguang Academy to join Zhuo Fan:

"Let's go, I have something to tell the county lord."

Zhuo Fan asked, "What's the matter?" Can't the teacher tell the disciple first? ”

Gu Ting glanced at Zhuo Fan: "I'll tell you again, and I'll tell the county lord again, it's too lazy to trouble." ”

Zhuo Fan: "......"

Gu Ting asked: "When the North Star Mansion is settled, you and the county lord will also return to the capital, right?" ”

Zhuo Fan nodded: "This year, the population of Beixing Mansion has increased greatly, many black households have re-naturalized, and there are many people from neighboring prefectures who have been attracted by the preferential policies here.

Nowadays, the trade between Beixingfu and the Hongshan tribe is becoming more and more prosperous, and it has attracted many less belligerent Beinu tribes to reach an agreement with us on a truce and mutual trade.

In another year or two at most, the North Star Mansion will be able to stabilize, and as long as the successor follows my lady's train of thought, the North Star Mansion will only get better and better.

The lady's exploits are too great, and now there have been some changes in the capital, and it is not good for me and the lady to stay for a long time, so as not to arouse suspicion.

Not only me and my wife, but also the eldest princess of Anqing and the Marquis of Dingxiang, after the matter on the Beinu side is settled, they will also return to Beijing immediately. ”

Gu Ting nodded: "How much ability you have, how much responsibility you have."

The situation in the capital is often also related to the fortunes of the country.

Now that the country has just improved, it should no longer be caused by internal friction due to royal strife.

The county lord is smart and far-sighted, and you are careful and thoughtful, I believe that you will be able to maintain the situation in the capital.

Although I am your master, there is not much I can help you.

I can't get my hands on big things, so I'll help you from small aspects. ”

When he returned to the Mansion, Gu Ting saw the Elemental Sakura and took out a letter of recommendation from his chest.

After reading the letter, the elemental Sakura and Zhuo Fan: "......"

It turned out to be Qi Jin, the dean of the main branch of Shuguang Academy, who recommended Gu Ting to come over and serve as the dean of the North Star Mansion branch.

Qi Jin also mentioned in the letter that Gu Ting's eldest son had entered the main hospital and was very talented in machinery.

He also said that he and Gu Ting were in the same class and had dealt with him several times.

Because Gu Ting used to like to read idle books, especially astronomy and geography, but this kind of book is not easy to obtain, so he still entrusted several people to Qi Jin to solve it.

After Qi entered Qingyu County, he regained his friendship with Gu Ting, and Gu Ting's father and son were almost frequent visitors to the Shuguang Library.

Moreover, Gu Ting is a round person on the outside and square on the inside, and he is more suitable for handling the chores of the college than Qi Jin's straight character. When he was still in Qingyu County, he helped Qi Jin a lot.

If it weren't for the lack of people in the Beixing Mansion Branch, and Gu Ting happened to have something to go to the capital, Qi Jin planned to give up his position as the head of the General Academy to concentrate on machinery.

Elemental Sakura glanced at Gu Ting, who was in the presence of the old god: "Mr. Gu, you are hiding deep enough." ”

Even she didn't see that Gu Ting still carried such a letter of recommendation and went to Shuguang Academy.

Zhuo Fan was also full of helplessness, as soon as the teacher came over, he gave him a problem, and the real intention of the people was to wrap it layer after layer.

The teacher didn't say it before, but it is estimated that he also has the meaning of looking at the current situation of the North Star Mansion, looking at his behavior with his wife, and the situation on the side of the branch.

Gu Ting saluted: "I was presumptuous before."

I'm afraid it's not as good as Dean Qi's whimsy in the next, but if the county lord doesn't give up, I'm willing to contribute to Shuguang Academy.

Because I understand that the future of Shuguang Academy is the future of Xuyouguo! ”

Elemental Sakura stepped forward to support Gu Ting: "With Dean Gu in charge of the branch, even if Zhuo Fan and I return to Beijing, we can rest assured." ”
