The moment they saw the governor, the scholars and students thought to themselves: I have come to this bookstore today.

It's not easy to see the governor at a glance, but I didn't expect to be able to get close to the governor by reading a book in this bookstore.

The group hurriedly stood up and saluted.

Chen Qiyu glanced at them and waved his hand, signaling them what they should do.

The scholars hurriedly sat down and pretended to read, but in fact, their attention was all on Chen Qiyu.

Chen Qiyu also knew this, but he didn't have time to pay attention to a group of young people, and said to Gao Shan with a smile: "Your bookstore, the official is looking forward to it." ”

Gao Shan said with a smile: "Thank you Lord Governor for your love, I wrote a small note to Zai Xia last time, which greatly simplified the process of opening a shop in Xia, and none of the officials in charge of this area came to embarrass me." ”

Chen Qiyu smiled: "This is as it should be, your bookstore is opened here, it is beneficial to the people and the country, and this official should help me." ”

Gao Shan: "Do you want to pick up a few books?" ”

Chen Qiyu smiled and said, "The official brought a few people here to pick out a few reference books." ”

He had already heard from his subordinates that there was a special section of "tool books" in the Xincun bookstore, which contained a lot of practical technical books, so he brought a ticket of people from the government to come over and pick things to read.

Gao Shan accompanied them in, and Chen Qiyu didn't look very carefully, but the group of people under him looked carefully at the bookshelf one by one.

After a while, the craftsmen in the team took out a few books from the bookshelf: "Methods for Optimizing the Quality of Steel", "How to Build a Sword That Is Not Easy to Break", "Detailed Explanation of the Control Technology of Furnace Temperature", "How the Knife Pattern of the Wakoku Katana is Caused". ”

The craftsman opened it and looked at it, and the more he looked at it, the more frightened he became.

After a few seconds, he bowed to Gao Shan with a big bow: "Mr. Gao, these books of yours are all peerless learning that has been passed down from top masters to their sons and daughters." ”

Gao Shan smiled: "The five words of passing on the son but not the daughter, if you say it in our Gaojia Village, you will be beaten!" ”

What he said was not nonsense, everyone in Gaojia Village knew that Tianzun hated the saying "passing on sons but not daughters". There are two sides to this sentence, one is to favor sons over women, which is a behavior that Tianzun despises very much. Second, it is not conducive to the continuous promotion of technology and hinders scientific and technological progress.

Therefore, in Gaojia Village, if you say a word about passing on your son and not passing on your daughter, you will be criticized by passers-by in minutes, and you will be scolded at least and twisted in front of the statue of Tianzun, and you will be asked to review your three views in front of the statue of Tianzun.

All the technologies that have been invented in Gaojia Village were bought out and classified as "village-owned" after receiving a huge prize of "Scientific Invention Encouragement Award", and then relevant explanatory books were produced for all students to study.

What Takayama brought with him this time were some relatively elementary technical books.

Of course, he will not bring it over if he is very advanced, firstly, because he is worried about the leakage of technology, and after Gaojiacun and the imperial court turn their faces in the future, the imperial court will use the Xia Saibo rifle to fight against the militia in Gaojiacun, which will not be good. The second is that even if some technologies are taken out and leaked, people outside will not be able to understand them.

Of course, others will not buy books that they can't understand, and that is not in line with his business interests.

These elementary technical books of the Gao family, for people outside the village, are already at the level of "advanced technology" and "passing on children but not daughters".

It's no wonder that the craftsmen of Yan'an Mansion were so excited.

Chen Qiyu turned his head and said to the craftsman: "These books are excellent? ”

The craftsman nodded violently: "Excellent!" Passing on the son but not the daughter. ”

Chen Qiyu scolded with a smile: "Everyone has printed a whole bookshelf, and they are here for others to buy, what are you still passing on?" Buy a few more copies, take them back, and give one set to each of the craftsmen. ”

The craftsman said with a smile: "The craftsmen are illiterate, although there are few words in this book, mainly pictures, but there are still words." ”

Chen Qiyu: "......"

Do you have to ask a reader to read this book to the craftsmen?

No scholar would do such a thing.

Chen Qiyu sighed: "Alas! ”

"Lord Governor!" An official who came with him to take charge of agriculture said: "I have found a large number of agricultural books here: "The Benefits of Winter Ploughing for Sowing in the Next Year", "How to Plant Potatoes, Corn, and Sweet Potatoes", "How to Increase Cotton Yield", ......"

Chen Qiyu: "Is it also passed on to the son and not to the female level?" ”

The official was a little embarrassed: "It should ...... Sort of. ”

Chen Qiyu nodded: "Well, buy, buy, buy, vigorously promote." It doesn't matter if the peasants are illiterate, let the literate gentleman in their village help them read, this is more important than the craftsmanship of the craftsmen. ”

In ancient times, officials in our dynasty valued agriculture and light industry, and Chen Qiyu was no exception.

Just now, he felt that he couldn't find a reader to read to the craftsmen, but when it was the turn of agriculture, he felt that he could.

Double standard to fly!

When Li Daoxuan saw this scene, he couldn't say anything, so he could only sigh in his heart.

Take your time, change slowly......

The official in charge of agriculture approached and whispered beside Chen Qiyu: "Lord Governor, there is something ...... matter."

Chen Qiyu: "What's wrong?" Want to stop talking? ”

The official said in a low voice: "Last year, there was plenty of rain, and the Yellow River was flooded, but after entering this year, that rain is a little ...... Alas...... I'm afraid that the drought will start again this year. ”

"What?" Chen Qiyu was taken aback: "How can you see it?" It's only March now, so dare you say this? ”

Official: "Governor, how long has it been since it rained?" ”

Chen Qiyu's whole body stiffened.

Li Daoxuan couldn't help frowning: Another drought? That...... The rogue who finally just cleaned up is afraid that it will resurge.

Say Cao Cao, Cao Cao will arrive!

As soon as Li Daoxuan thought of this, a messenger rushed in outside, and knelt down with a puff at the door of the bookstore: "Report to the governor, the Liukou King who was appeased two years ago was successful, taking advantage of the Mongol invasion of the border, Wang Chengen's general army was not there, and once again gathered his henchmen to rebel in Xichuan, attacked Shuanghuyu, and now is stationed in Wangjiacha, with a strong army, reaching more than 2,000 people. ”

Li Daoxuan:!

Chen Qiyu also stiffened: "Oops! Again? ”

He hesitated for less than three seconds, then perked up and waved his hand: "Quickly go and ask Shi Jianshi to guard it." ”

Li Daoxuan looked at his expression, very similar to the appearance of "Journey to the West", when Sun Wukong was making trouble in the Heavenly Palace, the Jade Emperor hid under the table, stretched out his hand and shouted, "Go and invite the Buddha".

Chen Qiyu: "Call the messenger last time, he went once, and the road is familiar." ”

Servant: "Report to the Governor, the messenger has fled last time, and I don't know where he has gone." ”

Chen Qiyu has a black question mark: "??? ”
