Quyang Academy.

Although some students were finally eliminated after several rounds of screening, the total number of students in the college was still as high as more than 500.

The only master, Huang Xie, has become a male duck because of protracted fatigue, and his original immature voice has become a male duck's voice.

Although it was already winter, the teaching work of the academy did not stop - from time to time, after Huang Xie finished his day's classes, he would look at the mountains in the distance and sigh silently.

Granny drops.

Xiong Wuliang, you are really unscrupulous! You're so good at shitting!

Now less than half a year has passed, and I, a rich young man, have been used by Xiong Wuliang as a donkey.

What if three years had passed......

It is estimated that this life will have to be left in Quyang County!

Huang Xie took a long breath, picked up his pen, and began to correct the essays for the students.

Typo!

Improper use of the dictionary!

Bullshit!

……

These articles are generally written in immature writing, and the words and sentences used are also commonly used hundreds of words, and there are still large traces of modification in some places, which makes Huang Xie's eyebrows wrinkled.

It's not bad, though.

Half a year ago, these students were illiterate.

In just half a year, I have been able to write a practical text of dozens or hundreds of words, which is already a rapid progress!

According to this development, it will not be a big problem to train a group of grassroots officials who are more or less literate in one year's time.

It can only be said that these poor children are much more enthusiastic about learning and work harder than the aristocratic sons who were born with golden keys in Yingdu.

Among them, there are also many articles that make Huang Xie's eyes shine - Huang Xie secretly thinks that some students may be able to stay in the academy after a year and follow Huang Xie to continue their studies......

At this time, there was a knock at the door, and a slightly timid and somewhat respectful voice came: "Student Qu Yang, please see the master." ”

Huang Xie stood up and went to open the door.

Qu Yang is a person, Huang Xie is very impressed.

In the entire academy, he is one of the few people who are both hardworking and intelligent.

Qu Yang walked into the room, his face was a little blue from the cold, and he bowed deeply to Huang Xie: "The student meets the master......"

Huang Xie's eyes were sharp, and when he saw the two pieces of bacon that Qu Yang was carrying, he couldn't help but laugh dumbly.

Although the Huang family is not the top force in the Chu State like Qu, Jing, and Zhao, they are also a big family that stomps their feet and shakes three times. Huang Xie has been the young son of the Huang family since he was a child, and he is sought after by tens of thousands of people, how can he get these two gray dried meat?

Qu Yang was a little cramped: "Master...... My dad just came here and said...... said that this is a way of respecting the teacher, please accept it! ”

Huang Xie wanted to refuse, looking at Qu Yang's expectant and somewhat cringing face, but his heart suddenly trembled.

Even in the affluent county of Quyang, for those ordinary farmers, these two dried meats are worth a lot.

Looking at Qu Yang's expression, Huang Xie was moved.

"Good! When Confucius accepted disciples, there was indeed a precedent for this...... Ben Gongzi, Ah No, Ben Master will accept it! ”

"It's just that this matter can't be spread outside, otherwise hundreds of students, everyone will send two pieces of dried meat, how can Huang eat it?" Huang Xie said as he accepted the meat from Qu Yang's hand and hung it on the beam solemnly.

Qu Yang's face flushed with joy.

Huang Xie was deeply touched: "If you go back, my master will still have to correct the article, so I won't keep you more." ”

Looking at Qu Yang's elated back, Huang Xie sighed, for the first time in his life, a strong warmth surged in his heart - this year, just stay in the academy and don't go back to Yingdu.

At the beginning, Xiong Wuliang said that he would let himself work in Quyang for three years.

Three years is three years!

In the past three years, labor and management have been squatting in Quyang and not going anywhere! Lest that the dog's bear's bear Wuliang pick a bone in the egg three years later!

……

Spring has arrived, and there is still a hint of chill in the air, but the willow branches have been silently covered with a faint layer of green.

The fiefdom is thriving again.

The farmers have already arrived in the fields with their farming tools and started the new year's planting. There is also a noticeable increase in roadside business travel than in winter.

Zhong Hua took 800 personal soldiers to escort Xiong Wuliang and went straight to [Ping'a].

Xiong Wuliang learned the lesson of the last time, and now as long as he goes out, he will take the pro-military camp to go out together, and he will have a big pomp and circumstance.

The 800 personal soldiers under Zhong Hua's command are selected from the 'Quyang New Army' Lieutenant Colonel Wu, and with sophisticated equipment, in terms of combat effectiveness, I am afraid that the forbidden army in Yingdu is not an opponent.

Xiong Wuliang came to the edge of Huaishui, and as far as the eye could see, the river was rushing.

On the shore, the 'Ping'a Commercial Port' has begun to take shape.

In order to build this commercial port, Xiong Wuliang invested a lot of money - the base of the commercial port is cement mixed with copper pillars, which is extremely solid.

According to Shi Er's estimates, this commercial port can be used for at least fifty years, and if it is well maintained, it is not surprising that it will last for hundreds of years.

Xiong Wuliang angrily smashed 10,000 gold, but it was only the first phase of the construction of this Ping'a Commercial Port. In Xiong Wuliang's plan, there will be three to five phases of construction in this commercial port...... When it is completely completed, Ping'a Commercial Port will be the most magnificent port in the world with the largest cargo throughput.

Now the first phase of the project has been completed, and the commercial port has been initially put into use.

Boats flying various flags flow on the river, leaving the farmers who pass by in amazement.

The vast majority of merchant ships were ships trading along the two sides of the Huaishui River for thousands of miles in the Chu State, but there were also merchant ships from Yan, Qi and other countries who took risks for the sake of huge profits, risking their way around the coast to the mouth of the Huaishui Sea, and then coming along the Huaishui River.

Shi Er was waiting for Xiong Wuliang here early in the morning, and when he saw Xiong Wuliang's brigade coming in front of him, Shi Er strode forward and bowed deeply: "The ministers meet the lord!" ”

Shi Er led the way, Xiong Wuliang, Zhong Hua and others followed, and went straight to a large-scale shipyard - this shipyard was also under Shi Er's jurisdiction.

"Lord, please see, this is a new type of ship built according to your request......" Shi Er respectfully led everyone to the ship.

This ship is not as large as the giant ships of thousands of tons and tons in later generations, but in this era, the volume is quite large.

Xiong Wuliang didn't know much about shipbuilding, but he also had some impressions of the appearance of later ships—he made some suggestions, such as trying to build a sharp-bottomed ship instead of a flat bottom, and controlling the cabin height to lower the center of gravity.

Shi Er also didn't know how to build ships, but he gathered a large number of craftsmen who were good at shipbuilding with a high salary, and spent a winter experimenting to build the first generation of prototype ships.

After several rounds of refinement, we finally created a mass-produced ship like the one in front of us.

Shi Ermei's eyebrows danced: "Lord, after experiments, this new type of ship can completely sail short distances on the sea, and it is indeed much more stable than the existing flat-bottomed boats!" ”

"The lord can even build ships, what a talent!"

"In the future, the pinnacle will completely replace the flat-bottomed boat, and this is all the work of the lord! It will be admired by the shipwrights of all ages! ”

"Please give this ship a name!" Shi Er looked at Xiong Wuliang expectantly.
