Wei and Jin cooks

Chapter 269 Development

There are five more kinds of paper in the Zhenbao Pavilion in Xiping County. They are placed on the shelves, one in a stack. People who come in and out can choose, and then the clerk will move them out after deciding how much to buy.

Most of them come to buy paper for home use, so they buy it one at a time, and some plan to sell the paper to other places.

The paper in Zhenbao Pavilion is slightly cheaper than the paper on the market. If you buy in large quantities, the price will be even cheaper, so many booksellers came after hearing the news.

Therefore, they were not only attracted by the cheap paper, but also by the various glazed products, soaps, etc. in the Zhenbao Pavilion. They stayed for a while, and then heard about the teaching materials being used in the schools in Xiping County.

"The Three Character Classic" became popular in the city because it was so catchy that students always recited it after school, and it became a nursery rhyme.

Therefore, even the four or five-year-old children in the alley who have never entered school can follow the elder children at home and shout a few words at the top of their lungs, "In the beginning, human nature is good..."

The booksellers were alarmed and wanted to ask for the full edition of the book.

Zhao Hanzhang:......

She sighed deeply, she wanted it too, but Hu Jin was the only one in the bookstore. Oh, there were more apprentices now, but those apprentices were still in the learning stage, so it would be good if they didn't cause any trouble.

Books are very valuable. She saw a road to make money right in front of her, but she couldn't get on it, and her heart ached.

So she could only urge Ji Yuan to quickly find enough craftsmen for her. Ji Yuan was busy with the construction of Shangcai County, and now was the critical time for spring sowing, so he said irritably, "A certain person has sent people to Luoyang to find Yes, but I haven’t found it yet.”

She ran to find Zhao Ming.

Zhao Ming felt a headache when he saw her now. He immediately rolled up his sleeves and turned around to go to the fields to plant rice seedlings. "You are a county prince. If you don't want to persuade farmers to teach, how can you think about business all day long?"

Zhao Hanzhang: "...Now the people in the county are working as hard as chicken blood. Do I still need to persuade them to teach farmers?"

She now goes to school at a fixed time every day to teach "The Three Character Classic" and mathematics classes. Although being a teacher is her job, she has to copy the teachings on the blackboard before each class starts. It's a headache, okay?

"But we can't find any craftsmen for the time being."

Fortunately, Hu Jin was very capable. Although there were many difficulties, he finally finished carving a version of the "Three Character Classic" shortly after planting the rice seedlings. After processing, he started printing with his young apprentices.

Brushing ink, loading paper... sorting and binding, everything went on in an orderly manner, and then a "Three Character Classic" with missing lines was successfully printed.

Of course, the missing lines are not Hu Jin's fault, but Zhao Hanzhang missed some words. Recently, Zhao Cheng has been obsessed with trying to fill in these missing lines.

Because of this, Hu Jin could leave those positions empty, so that as long as someone filled them in, he could carve on the original version without having to carve them all over again.

He first taught his young apprentices how to print, and after making sure they could work together to complete the task, he handed over the printing work to them, while he immersed himself in carving the Yangwen of the Thousand-Character Classic.

He just needed to check in every now and then.

Zhao Hanzhang was overjoyed when he received the first batch of printed "Three Character Classic". He first gave a copy to every child in the school, and then asked a space in the Treasure Pavilion to be filled with "Three Character Classic".

As a result, the bookstore finally received its first order since its opening and began to make money.

It's been almost half a year since it could only go in and out.

In addition to Xiping, Zhao Hanzhang also opened a school in Shangcai. She did not let Chai County Magistrate intervene in this school, but gave Ji Yuan full responsibility. Zhao Kuan, who had already taken root in Shangcai, went around in circles and was specially hired to return to the school. Taught.

Oh, with his brothers.

Now, they not only have to manage basic government affairs in Shangcai, but also go to school. They are so tired every day that their expressions are dull.

Among a group of busy people, Magistrate Chai seems a bit leisurely and is not needed for many things, so his main job now is to mediate the conflicts among various families in the county.

In fact, it is a conflict between each family and the Zhao Manor.

Then through his own connections, he bought food, cloth, and all kinds of things she needed for Zhao Hanzhang.

He would still be living happily every day, if it weren't for a gentleman who couldn't help but ask: "Is it the county monarch who makes the decision in Shangcai County, or her aide Ji Yuan of Zhao Hanzhang?"

Only then did Magistrate Chai realize that, unknowingly, he had completely obeyed Ji Yuan's orders, no, he should have completely obeyed Zhao Hanzhang's orders.

Although Ji Yuan coaxed him to come here, it is undeniable that every decision he makes now is not what he wants to do, but what Zhao Hanzhang wants him to make.

Magistrate Chai County was stunned for a moment, and before Ji Yuan could comfort him after hearing the news, he figured it out on his own. That's all. Now that the whole county relied on Zhao Hanzhang, could he still push Zhao Hanzhang away and go it alone?

He is willing, but the people in the county must be willing.

Forget it, who should I listen to?

He is just a small county magistrate. He does not listen to Zhao Hanzhang, but also listens to the prefect and governor, and the imperial court.

But they would only ask, but they would not listen to his complaints, nor would they agree to his requests. Zhao Hanzhang could at least understand his difficulties.

So when Ji Yuan came to find him, Magistrate Chai recovered and said to Ji Yuan, "I won't believe such provocative words."

He looked like he trusted him and Zhao Hanzhang.

Ji Yuan:......

Ji Yuan smiled and agreed: "What the county gentleman said is true. How can these people instigate our feelings?"

Even Chang Ning in Xiping heard about this. He and Zhao Hanzhang said: "The word "easy-going" is the most suitable for County Magistrate Chai, so once he adapts to the county magistrate, unless someone puts a knife to his neck, he will always be in trouble. Follow the county king."

Until someone stronger than Zhao Hanzhang appeared.

Zhao Hanzhang smiled and said: "I know, if he doesn't embarrass me, I will naturally not embarrass him."

Although Xiping and Shangcai are still two counties today, their policies are similar. The two counties have unprecedentedly close ties with close economic and cultural exchanges. It is not an exaggeration to say that they are one county.

As for these things, apart from hearing about them in Lin County, He Cishi, who was far away in Chen County, knew nothing about them. It was also difficult for him to pay attention to the developments in the following two counties.

Because he was worried about the imperial court moving the capital, and he was sick.

Cangyuan City, where Gou Xi proposed to move the capital, was near Chen County, which meant that his Yuzhou seat might be included in Kyoto.

This means that he, the governor of Yuzhou, is likely to become the governor of the capital, so he supports moving the capital.

He was preoccupied with moving the capital to the imperial court and was not very concerned about the situation in the counties below. But at this time, his old injury recurred. The injury he suffered in Aoyang last year suddenly broke out this year, and he was extremely uncomfortable. very.

But God seemed not to let him have an easy time. At this moment, the King of Donghai, who had been arguing with Gou Xi, seemed to have run out of patience. He directly accused Gou Xi of rebellion and issued a proclamation in the name of the court, asking the world to fight against Gou Xi.
