"Let's not fight in vain, through the committee, we can let the two places fund and support the regiment to train their arms, but if we want to support the officers and soldiers, I am afraid that many people will retreat.

Why? Because the regimental training will stay to protect the township, and the officers and soldiers may be transferred to other places in the future, and even the guerrilla battalion that we set up this time is more likely to be disbanded on the spot after the war, so wouldn't the investors lose more than they gained?

Therefore, the funding committee is only applicable to regimental training, and is not suitable for supporting officers and soldiers. If the officers and soldiers want to get abundant supplies, I am afraid they will have to think of another way."

The method that Li Dan thought of was actually to learn from the salt introduction system he saw in his previous life, and the core of this method was the contract system. Specify the transportation and supply of grain, clothing, weapons, livestock, and other items needed by the army, assign a contractor to be specifically responsible, and allow the contractor to subcontract the sub-items to subordinate subcontractors.

The army then signs contracts with contractors and subcontractors, with the army responsible for their protection and the smooth flow of trade routes, and the merchants responsible for delivering the materials to the units designated by the army on time, in accordance with quality and quantity.

The army was resupplied and in turn gave back to the merchants with a portion of the dividends from the capture.

It is more important to agree that the ownerless, rival merchants, and industrial and mining resources in the areas under control, especially in the newly occupied or recovered areas, will be given priority in auctioning these merchants, or will be provided with officially promised tax reductions, customs clearance benefits, and so on.

Li Dan talked eloquently, Zhao Chongbi's eyes were already bright, and he hurriedly called someone to invite Wei Shuban to come over, which was the master he sent to the capital to see the emperor before.

Wei Shuban and Li Dan talked carefully about this method, and immediately felt very good. "Such a good idea can't just be implemented in Yugan and Anren." He turned to Zhao Chongbi:

"Why don't you go to Shufujun and ask him to agree to announce and implement it in Quanrao Prefecture? With the power of Raozhou to support more than 10,000 officers and soldiers, it is as strong as two counties!"

Zhao Chongbi made a decision at the moment, and decided to let Wei Fuzi write a letter to Wanzhifu, and then personally return to Poyang to implement this matter. "Whether my army of 10,000 people can be formed as soon as possible depends on Mr. Qi!" He bowed his hand to the Wei Shushu Office and said:

"As for the source of recruitment, I have also thought about it, there are currently 2,000 prisoners of the Lake Bandits, and some of them can be used for screening. In addition, there are several miners and ironworkers who have previously expressed their willingness to accept Zhao'an, so you may wish to contact them.

The remaining half will have to be recruited locally." He turned his face to see Li Dan's thoughtful look, and asked, "What is San Lang thinking, isn't there something wrong?"

"Definitely." Li Dan hurriedly crossed his hands and replied, "I just thought of an idea, but I felt that it was inappropriate, so I put it down."

"What's the idea? Tell me about it."

"I was just thinking about whether I could recruit the children of merchants to join the army and give them some official positions. But when I think about it, these people have no experience in the army, and they have no force to speak of, and they are reluctant to enter the regimental training, let alone the officers and soldiers? So I put it down again."

Fang Shuban was interested: "Otherwise, there needs to be a civilian job in the army, and something like the old man is indispensable. For example, procurement, distribution, centralization, and transportation cannot be done by people who are illiterate.

The old man thinks that he can try, but it is not suitable to be a sergeant, so he should be able to be a clerk." Zhao Chongbi nodded and asked him to add this.

In fact, Li Dan was thinking about another thing, he originally planned to remind Zhao Chongbi that the proportion of miners in the army is too large, which may easily cause contradictions. But when I thought about it, I didn't say the words that came out of my mouth.

It doesn't matter, let Zhao Tongzhi bring these people out of the mountains first, if not, he can stuff the recruited people into the official army to replace these miners and smelting workers, and then send them to the smelting and metal manufacturing factories that will be built, where a large number of experienced workers are needed.

Before and after the battle with Tatehanako, he obtained some talents who were familiar with ore knowledge and beneficiation technology and sent them to work with Sun Xun of Wannian, but the number was too small, and it was limited to three ores: iron ore, black lead (graphite) and quartz.

Talent is so important! In the past few days, he has felt more and more that this matter even exceeds the training of the troops, because training can be done, but talent is hard to find.

He finally met the well-known prodigy Hu Juren this morning, but was disappointed. Compared with Hu Jusheng, who grows vegetables and records the silkworm hatching process, this is a child who is obsessed with words and has square rules, but he is less independent and active

and innovation.

He stood in front of Li Dan and replied respectfully and cautiously, Li Dan wanted him to come forward but refused, because he thought that Li Dan had a grade, and he couldn't stand side by side so as not to lose his manners. Li Dan smiled, encouraged him, and ended the meeting.

This is a lesson for him, the collection of celebrities does not seem to be interesting, their talents and abilities may be good, but for Li Dan's needs, he does not want this kind of "talent".

In contrast, he felt that the rustic poor boy Hu Jusheng was closer to the talent he thought could be made.

On the premise that he had never read "Biology", he actually proposed the classification method of "all things in the world, in fact, there are only human beings, beasts, birds, fish, insects, trees, shrubs, lichens (mosses)", which made Li Dan look at this child with admiration.

"But where do you divide the mushrooms?" Li Dan brought two candles, a lings of rice paper, and needle and thread to the small firewood room at night, and used a small piece of mulberry branch to show him how to press plant specimens. He asked, as he busied himself with his work.

"Uh, maybe...... Should it be placed in lichens?" Hu Jusheng replied hesitantly.

Li Dan smiled: "Look, if you answer so reluctantly, are you not even sure yourself?"

"Hehe, the student is a little unsure. The mushroom is not green, nor is it as delicate and soft as lichen.

From the outside, it seems that the two are not one and the same, but if they are not put together, then there is not another category?" Hu Jusheng said that he dared to ask himself questions and would not give answers easily, which made Li Dan happy.

"Then there's one more category." Li Dan said.

"But ......, there are already so many kinds."

"It's okay. Ah Sheng, do you have any principles? For example, under what circumstances do you belong to a category, or if you meet what conditions you can belong to?"

"It mainly depends on whether they look similar, and the place where the two things live, etc."

"Yes!" Li Dan patted him on the shoulder: "You see, people have shoulders, pigs, and horses, are they the same kind? But if there are no trees or weeds, they are not in the same category as us, right?"

"Yes!"

"People, pigs, cows, fish and birds all have to eat to survive, but big trees and weeds live by absorbing soil nutrients through their roots, so they are different from us. Isn't that right?"

"Yes!"

"Then we can find that people, pigs, cows, fish, birds, crickets and snails have legs and feet and can move, even if the legs and feet are soft or have no definite shape of feet and feet. So bugs and shells have something in common with us, right?"

"Yes!"

"So what conclusions can be drawn from the above summary? The six categories of humans, beasts, fish, birds, insects, and insects can actually be put into one large category, and unlike flowers, trees, shrubs, mushrooms, and lichens, these are all movable, and we might as well call them 'animals, how?'

"And ......?"

"So the four categories of flowers, plants, trees, shrubs, and lichens, which have leaf stems and root systems, can be planted in the ground with cuttings or seeds, and we might as well put them together in a general category and call them 'plants?'

"Oh, I seem to get it. Adults are teaching me how to classify my life?"

"To be precise, the classification of living things. We are talking about the classification of species with life. The corpse is also a thing, but it is not alive, so it is not in the scope of our discussion.

On the other hand, a green leaf has life, but it will not last long before it decays and withers, so it is not a living thing. Organisms must be relatively numerous, life-like, and able to maintain this state of life in some way for a period of time and reproduce themselves.

For example, a cow is not a living thing, but hundreds or thousands of animals with similar shapes, ruminants, and viviparous horns are the creatures named 'cows.' Got it?"

"Understood. According to the adults, if I first see this group of animals, I call them cows, it is a cow?"

"If other people are willing to do what you call it, and find it appropriate and acceptable, then it's a cow." Li Dan laughed, feeling that this baby was thinking quickly!

He found a piece of paper and drew something on it for Hu Jusheng to see: "Look, what does this thing look like?"

"Big Mouse!"

"Hmm." Li Dan added a stroke to it and handed it to him:

"It's fun, it has a bag on its belly so that the cubs can get in and take it with them. If you sail thirteen thousand miles on the sea and you see a big island full of these things, what are you going to call it?"

"Mouse, rat with bag. Then call it a kangaroo!" Hu Jusheng said excitedly.

"Good!" Li Dan tore off the piece of paper and handed it to him: "Ah Sheng, you remember, this place has to go all the way to the south-east of China, on the other side of the sea.

The four seasons of that place are opposite to my China, and the place is so vast that it is almost the same as the empire, and the natives are all black and red-skinned and have no clothes. There's your kangaroo there!

You named it, and you found it alive, and you were the first person in China to name this species!"

Hu Jusheng happily took it and put it away, suddenly knelt down and kowtowed to Li Dan, and said loudly: "Jusheng today knows that there is a vast and profound knowledge in the world, and I am willing to learn from the adults and listen to the teachings sooner or later."

Li Dan was a little surprised, but it was the first time in his life that he had met a student like Hu Jusheng who liked to study "Gewu". He pondered for a moment and smiled:

"You have to ask Mr. Gan's permission for this matter first, and it's not easy to get into my door. Although it is not the Four Books and Five Classics every day, the sage learns first, and the ancient classics must still be read and indispensable! You can't be lazy about that, you know?

In addition, I will teach you some practical knowledge, such as calculation, statistics, geography, painting, the art of martial arts, and riding archery are also to be practiced, and I will let Zhao Jingzi or Yang Qianhu teach you in the future.

When Mr. Wu and Kuroki come back, I want them to teach you history and foreign languages. Well, I don't blame you for retreating, if you want to learn from me, you have to be prepared to endure hardship!"

"I am deeply admired for getting along with adults these days. Although Ju Sheng is dull, he will do his best, as Mr. said, "Absorb knowledge like a sponge, and use what you have learned in the future to pass on to the people's livelihood!"

Li Dan was very satisfied, he didn't care how old he was, sat in the broken chair, and took a cup of loose tea handed by Hu Jusheng in this firewood room, which was considered to be the end of the apprenticeship.

Then the first lesson he was taught was the classification of organisms and the comparison of different types of organisms.

Li Dan didn't want to instill in his students the concepts of realms, phylums, classes, orders, families, genera, and species, which he thought were invented by Westerners.

Since the taxonomy was proposed by itself nearly 300 years in advance, its development should be decided by Hu Jusheng, rather than being taught as an advanced person when he came up, what is the difference between that and colonialism in the previous life?

"Sir, we seem to have missed a mushroom." Hu Jusheng reminded.

"Mushrooms? It doesn't matter, there's no hurry." Li Dan said, "Can you now be sure who it is with the head? Flowers, shrubs? Or is it a tall tree, or a short, weak moss?"

"Uh......, neither."

"Isn't it? Don't you think it's the same as lichen?"

"No, it has no leaves and no obvious roots, no flowers and no seeds."

"Well said, but how does it reproduce?"

"I don't ......, I don't know yet."

"Of course you don't. Well, as your husband, I'm going to give you a gift. Perhaps you can see more of the tiny world with this gift, because observing, analyzing, learning, and transforming the world with the help of tools is one of the least differences between man and beast."

After Li Dan finished saying this philosophical sentence, he looked at the little guy's eyes full of fanatical worship and was very satisfied.

However, although he happily accepted a student, Li Dan was still quite respectful when facing Lou Liang.

Lou forgave him for the hard trek of half a month, which made his face tan a lot, but fortunately, he was only twenty

He was early and traveled a lot, so this little distance was nothing to him.

He was surprised why Li Dan knew his name and invited him to be his husband so sincerely.

How did he know that he was the first "celebrity" Li Dan met in this life, and Li Dan did have ideas, hoping to have a mentor by his side to guide him, so that he could go to Beijing in the future.

When the two first met, they were neither in Li Dan's temporary shogunate nor in the county Confucian Museum, but on the construction site of the Jinjiang Bridge. Li Dan built a tent for himself here, and he was busy making a microscope for Hu Jusheng at this time.

This morning, Kuaima just sent a few lenses, flat glass pieces, alcohol, cotton cloth, peach wood and other things he wanted. Li Dan used mahogany for the lens tube, and other hardwoods for the stands, observation tables and wooden screws.

Brother Mao handed over the tools on the side, watching him tie these finished parts tightly together with wooden bolts and screws, curiously not saying a word.

Lou Liang looked at it with his hands behind his back for a while, and couldn't help but ask, "What are you doing here?"

Brother Mao made a silent gesture to him, and before Lou Liang could understand, he saw Li Dan straighten up and put the two lenses into the barrel, and then gradually snapped the lens barrel onto the guide rail from the card slot below, and said, "This is the last step, and it will be successful immediately!"

Then prick your hand with a barbecued needle, squeeze out a drop onto the flat glass, use a small silver spoon to take the clean water and drop it on it, and then gently mix it with the tip of the silver spoon.

Carefully cover another piece of glass on top and place the two pieces of glass on the stage and press them with metal sheets.

He leaned down, adjusted the copper mirror underneath, and then turned the coarse and fine focus knobs in succession, allowing the lens to slowly approach the glass.

"Well, that's good, that's clear!" He got up and nodded with satisfaction, and turned to look at Lou Liang, "Do you want to try it and see what I just saw?"

Lou Liang looked at him, then at the gloating Mao Zai, and after a little hesitation, he said, "Then, the grass people will try." As he spoke, he stepped forward, closed his left eye under Li Dan's guidance, and looked into the camera with his right eye.

I was startled at it, looked sideways at Li Dan's expectant gaze, mustered up the courage to look again, and asked, "What is this that Jun asked me to see?"

"Do you still need to ask?" Li Dan stretched out his finger to show him the blood spot just now: "Of course it's my blood!"

"This," Lou Liang was so surprised that he couldn't speak, and it took a long time to squeeze out a sentence: "What's the use of looking at this?"

"Looking at this, you can know how a person's blood is formed, and compare it with the blood composition of a normal person, and you can judge what stage the person's condition has reached, or what stage of recovery.

We can also see if there is such a thing as toxicity to the blood, so that its color changes because of the increase or decrease of those globules in ......."

Li Dan talked eloquently, and as he spoke, he suddenly remembered, "I'm sorry, I don't know Mr.'s name?"

Lou Liang closed his mouth that hadn't closed for a long time because of surprise, and then he slowly said, "Lou Liang, the grass people, I've seen Lord Li inspecting the city!" After saying that, you have to get up and bow.

Li Dan had to take the first step forward and bow down: "Disciple Li Dan has seen Mr., but I don't know that Mr. has arrived and lost his welcome, I hope Mr. will forgive his sins!"

"Well, Master Li doesn't have to be like this, Kezhen (Lou Liangzi) thinks...... Let's go back to the city and talk."

Li Dan immediately asked Brother Mao to wrap the microscope with the felt that wrapped these treasures when the things came quickly, and put them into the city to drive the carriage that took Mr. Lou into the city at the dock outside the south gate.

This carriage is the latest model of two-horse four-wheeled vehicle, with two rows of seats in both directions, spring suspension at all corners, and two pairs of steering wheels in front and rear.

Lou Liang chatted along the way and looked at the carriage. Li Dan introduced to him his past studies and considerations for participating in the imperial examination, and Lou Liang asked some questions, such as what books Li Dan had read, and whether he was familiar with the law, policy, or scripture.

Through these communications, he began to understand what his future students have and what they are good at, as well as their understanding and thinking.

"You're a student who doesn't like the scriptures!" Lou Liang smiled and stepped out of the carriage and touched the door: "But the carriage is good, I have never seen a carriage like this,

It's so light and comfortable."

"If you like it, it's yours. Our drivers are ready to serve you every day." Li Dan said with a smile.

"The Gentleman's Will...... ...... this carriage?"

"It was designed by the students, and the car dealership that built it had a stake in the students." Li Dan introduced: "We started to make this kind of car to give supplies to the Shangrao officials and soldiers, and only recently began to try to make it into a sedan, which is the third car newly completed."

Lou Liang was very surprised, looked at the car, looked at Li Dan again, and said, "Song Xiucai said that Jun is talented in civil and martial arts, I still don't believe it. Now that I see me, I know that what he said is really true!"

As soon as the words fell, Hu Jusheng ran out to greet him, and Shi Li said, "Mr. is back, the student greets Mr." These words made Lou Liang stunned.

Li Dan hurriedly explained to him, and Lou Liang laughed when he heard it: "This baby can win your favor, it must be a good one." Then he said to the surprised Hu Juren: "You don't recognize me, I am Mr. Yes!"
