Qin Keqing is not a good man and a woman, she serves as a temporary teacher in this school, on the one hand, to teach children literacy, and on the other hand, to train the next generation of talents for Jia Baoyu.

This is the task given to her by Jia Baoyu.

Hearing the teacher say that the board should be played, the children in the school are not afraid, they go to school here, the school will take care of a lunch, and there is meat.

Being able to eat and eat meat is a great attraction for these skinny children.

The afternoon class is mathematics, but it is not an advanced chicken-rabbit problem in the same cage, there are only two contents.

“1+1=2

1+2=3

1+3=4

……”

is the simplest 99 addition table and multiplication table, Jia Baoyu doesn't need any math talent for the time being, just need these children to be proficient in addition and subtraction and multiplication and division to prepare for the army's paperwork.

Within a week, the youngest child could know more than 100 words and memorize 99 addition tables proficiently.

At the same time, Jia Baoyu also opened a literacy class, and the teacher was none other than the best among these children, a girl named Dong Qing.

Although Dong Qing is a female baby, she has the ability to never forget, no matter what she learns, she is even a little genius in mathematics.

Qin Keqing loves Dong Qing very much, and often stays in her room to teach her personally, as if she is a personal disciple.

However, Dong Qing's family background is not good, her mother had a difficult birth when she gave birth to her, and her father was a dilapidated military family, and the family only had a few acres of thin land, barely surviving.

Dong Qing has been beautiful since she was a child, and now she is ten years old, and she is already the first little beauty of Tianjin Zuowei.

Lu Sanlang heard that there was such a lovely person on his territory, so he spent 15 taels last year to book Dong Qing with Dong Qing's father Dong Heizhu, and when she reached the age of 12, he married and became his eighth aunt's wife.

These things were all told by Qin Keqing, "Baoyu, can you discuss with Lu Sanlang and cancel the agreement, Dong Qing is still a child, I don't want her to be like me." ”

To some extent, Dong Qing is another Qin Keqing.

Jia Baoyu smiled: "This kind of thing, I'll do my best." ”

The pencil manufacturing plant has been established, and a steady stream of pencils are being manufactured and put on the market in Tianjin.

Jia Baoyu even opened a specialty store in Tianjin to sell his pencils.

In the beginning, many people were not optimistic about pencils.

Because there are not many literate people, and everyone is accustomed to using brushes, and the technical content of pencils is not high, ordinary people can replace them with burning sticks.

No one wants to spend ten pennies on a pencil.

However, as the pencil entered the yamen, the accounts of major families, and many restaurants and shops, these documents, account offices, and masters all discovered the convenience of pencils.

All of a sudden, these people became big customers of pencils.

Not only that, many merchants from the north and south are willing to spend money on pencils after seeing the function of pencils, and express their desire to bring pencils back to their local areas for sale.

As a result, Jia Baoyu's pencil factory worked overtime, and was able to ship thousands of pencils every day.

If it weren't for the slow hand-making of workers, tens of thousands of pieces a day would not be a problem.

However, the widespread use of pencils in Tianjin also attracted the opposition of some corrupt Confucians, who believed that writing must be done with a brush, otherwise it would be unprofessional and blasphemous to calligraphy.

Jia Baoyu doesn't care about him, he still sells well.

Soon, though, things changed.

"My lord, the merchant ships in Tianjin can't get in, and the thieves don't know what crazy they are, so they actually attack Qingxian!"

Li Gui came to explain the situation.

Jia Baoyu nodded and said: "This stream of rogues has become a big trend, and the places where they pass are like locusts transiting, and now it is the spring season, and there is no green and yellow, and there is a lack of food and clothing.

Gyeonggi is not a rich place, they don't do production, they don't go to rob the canal, I think it's strange, but I didn't expect to come so early. ”

"My lord, the governor has an order to order the commander of the three guards of Tianjin to discuss the matter."

Outside the door, Shen Lian walked in with a handwritten letter.

Jia Baoyu and Li Gui glanced at each other, and Jia Baoyu said: "Speaking of Cao Cao, Cao Cao arrived, it seems that the canal has been attacked, and he, the governor of Tianjin, can't sit still." ”

Today is only March 16, and it is still freezing outside.

The climate of the Xiaoice River is in full swing, and in previous years, there was no snow, but it snowed heavily, and there was even a thin layer of broken ice on the canal, and merchant ships had to hire a boat to pull the boat if they wanted to move.

However, a section of the canal in Qingxian was disturbed by rogue raids, and merchant ships still stopped.

Tianjin Governor Feng Yuanyang only took office after the end of this year, and less than three months after taking office, the Liukou hit his territory, and he was so angry that he scolded the incompetence of the county magistrate of Qingxian County.

He knew that there were 30,000 or 40,000 people, and he claimed to be 300,000 to the outside world.

Feng Yuanyang was angry, and Cao Youyi, the general soldier, and Li Xinjian, the guerrilla general of Tianjin's right guard and a thousand households, began to act, and Feng Yuanyang called Jia Baoyu over and asked him how many men he could produce.

Feng Yuanyang was really forced to be helpless, he knew that Jia Baoyu had trained the soldiers for less than half a month, and it was estimated that he couldn't tell the difference between up and down, left and right.

Jia Baoyu naturally couldn't confess happily, so he took the opportunity to ask Feng Yuanyang for eighteen pairs of chain mail.

In these days, armor is a rare thing, and it is considered the most expensive kind of weapon, and the manufacturing process of a good pair of chain mail is very complex and the manufacturing period is long.

Feng Yuanyang was not ambiguous, and immediately dialed the chain mail to Jia Baoyu.

At the same time, Cao Youyi and Li Xinjian were ordered to send troops immediately.

Cao Youyi and Li Xinjian were not very cool, and pushed their soldiers to take a leave and come back.

In fact, Feng Yuanyang is like a mirror in his heart, these two people must have eaten too much, and now they want to use people, where to find so many young people to make up the number.

Feng Yuanyang gave a death order, if he couldn't gather 5,000 people within three days, he would personally write to the emperor.

Cao Youyi and Li Xinjian became nervous at this time.

Li Xinjian is better, his father-in-law is a local, just pull some farmers, and give a little compensation to make up the number 2000 people.

Cao Youyi is even more ruthless, he is a foreigner, and he is not afraid of offending people at all, so in the past few days, he sent his soldiers to nearby villages to forcibly pull them, and I heard that he also cut down a few peasants who wanted to escape.

For a while, Tianjin Wei was made of chickens and dogs, and people were panicked.

After some tossing, the Tianjin Weidu spread all over the city, saying that the governor Feng Yuanyang was going to send troops to attack the Liukou in Qingxian County.

Shen Lian shook his head helplessly and said: "This hasn't been fought yet, it's all over the city, I know how the defeat of Salhu came about." ”

Jia Baoyu patted him on the shoulder and said: "The general trend is the trend, there is no way to do it, the Great Zhou Dynasty is too big and bloated, it can be seen from Tianjin that the mobilization ability of the Great Zhou is poor."

If I want to rebel, I guess I can directly capture the city. ”
