Don't panic, the family boss is busy farming

Chapter 217

A certain amount of pottery and cloth is produced every day. Besides, what the arsenal does most is smelting iron and making weapons, and so on.

In order to facilitate the transportation of materials from brick factories and mines dozens of miles away to the village, a road was opened behind the factory, so that outsiders could no longer peek into the situation inside the factory, and the factory has its own style.

The Xu family would hand over a batch of weapons to Gongsun Zan every year, but he only knew that the Wang family had laid tracks in the mine to increase the transportation volume.

But I don't know that the mining technology under the mine is different from the original one, and the monthly mining volume has increased by five times compared to before.

But when it was reported to the outside world, Xu Da only said that it was twice as many. Just this, Gongsun Zan and others already found it incredible.

As a result, the husband and wife secretly swallowed more than half of the remaining iron ore, and transferred it to their own arsenal to produce weapons for their own family.

What Gongsun Zan likes is nothing more than Wang's magical weapons. As long as the weapon Wang handed over is better than his original one, the mission will be considered complete.

As for more useful weapons, Xu's warehouse is now half full.

The general ledger at home is managed by Xu Yue. Although there is a risk of inaccessible space in the research room, there is no safer place than her place, so all the ledgers are still kept in the research room.

Every time Xu Yue looked at the ledger, her heart beat violently.

Because my father and mother are really greedy too much, and she is terrified when she sees it.

But Xu Yue knew better that her family had to rely on these greedy iron ore to stand up. Without a sharp knife in hand, everything is just a cloud!
Seeing the continuous supply of iron ore on the small road behind the arsenal, Xu Yue silently glanced at the general ledger in the research room.

Well, sure enough, my heart rate will speed up.

But there is also a strange satisfaction.
Xu Yue took a deep breath, stopped looking at the arsenal that made her heart beat faster, and turned her eyes to the school she was most concerned about.

Wen Changyao is already the monitor of the first class of junior high school, and he has got the big chicken leg that he has been thinking about. Now he is holding a Chinese textbook and leading the students in the class to recite the text.

What they read was Master Lu's diary of a madman. The cannibalism in it was completely imaginable to these children, so when they recited it, they felt very smooth, as if they were reading their own experiences before they came to Xujiazhuang.

Among this group of students, there were a few who performed outstandingly. Wen Changyao didn't mention it. He had the foundation and was willing to learn. His position as class leader was unassailable.

Another thing that caught Xu Yue's attention was Naiwa's younger sister, Fu Bao. The little girl showed an amazing talent in arithmetic.

Junmei personally took her for a while, and the little girl has already started to teach herself the mathematics of the third grade.

Cui Yuan and Guang Luhai, who were teachers, were surprised by this talent.

Moreover, she learned the Xu family's new knowledge from the beginning to the end, which is not the same as the two who accepted modern mathematics halfway.

Those who are backward are not as fast as Fubao in accepting many concepts because of their previous inherent concepts.

In time, this little girl's achievements in arithmetic must be even better than theirs.

Xu Yue listened to the sound of the students reading aloud, and felt that the future of our owner's camp was bright!
After a busy autumn harvest, the temperature in the north dropped suddenly.

Abnormal temperature is regarded as a bad omen in this era.

At this time, the officials under Gongsun Zan in charge of accounting (statistics) had just finished counting the grain depots. Because of the general mobilization of farming technology reforms before spring plowing, this year's harvest was bumper, and the county's grain output was [-]% higher than in previous years. Tian Cao was overjoyed.

But when he was so happy, there was extreme weather. On the first night when the temperature dropped, Gongsun Zan came to Xu Da and asked him to do a fortune-telling to measure the good and bad.

According to him, the prefects of several counties in Bingzhou have expressed that they want to make themselves the boss, and Bingzhou is already in their pocket.

Coupled with the bumper harvests in Yuyang, Shanggu, and Bohai counties this year, he has already started planning to win Jizhou in the coming year, but don't make any mistakes at this time.

When Gongsun Zan rushed into the room, Xu Da was calculating the output of salt and iron in the three counties this year, um, counting the part that he had kept in secret.

He was knocked on the door suddenly, and his heart skipped a beat. Fortunately, he already had experience, so he closed the account without haste, and at the same time calmly raised his head to look at the person coming.

After all, apart from the four mother and son at home, only Gongsun Zan was the one who dared to kick his door.

Thinking with his feet, Xu Da knew who was coming.

Knowing that Gongsun Zan came to him in a hurry to find out for himself, he managed to avoid rolling his eyes, and thought, "Brother, don't you believe in evil?"Why did divination and fortune-telling suddenly start again?

Could it be the chain effect caused by his previous dream?
I complained in my heart, Xu Da couldn't refuse the boss's request even if he was a worker, so he picked up two stones in the yard and started divination.

"Crackling" two stones exploded on the ground, Gongsun Zan leaned over to look, but saw nothing, then looked up at Xu Da, "Don't drive, how do you explain this hexagram? Is it good or bad?"

Biejia's full name is Biejia Engaged in History, which is equivalent to the current Secretary of the Provincial Supervision Bureau, and is the assistant history beside the state governor (now the state pastor).

You said that the current State Shepherd of Youzhou is Zhao Yu, so why is it that Xu Da followed Gongsun Zan into a different job?
That's because Zhao Yu had already submitted a letter to the imperial court, recommending Gongsun Zan to be the shepherd of Bingzhou.

As for whether the imperial court agrees or not, that's none of their business. Anyway, Gongsun Zan will move to Bingzhou to take office after the next year.

And because Xu Da owed a large part of the credit for winning Bingzhou this time, he personally led the mission to Bingzhou for disaster relief, and persuaded the prefects of Shangdang, Taiyuan, Yanmen and other counties in Bingzhou to jointly elect Gongsun Zan as the governor of Bingzhou.

Therefore, after Xu Da returned, Gongsun Zan immediately appointed him as Bingzhou Biejia and engaged in history.

Xu Da's promotion speed can be said to be as fast as taking a plane, but in just one year, he has worked from a small counselor to a state.

However, everyone knows how much moisture there is. When Gongsun Zan went to Bingzhou, there were two state shepherds in one state.

Because the original Bingzhou Mu hadn't been withdrawn yet, this was Yuan Zhao's ally and the Bing Zhou Mu whom Yuan Zhao recommended.

If the imperial court disagreed and sent another Bingzhou shepherd over, maybe the three state shepherds could gather at a table to fight landlords or something.

Let's say it's too far away, let's talk about the hexagram in front of the two of them now, Xu Da frowned - good or bad is unpredictable!
What does that mean?

That is to say, half is good and half is bad, and it depends on human effort.

Speaking of this hexagram, Xu Da himself felt that he was very much like two charlatans who gave money to a fortune teller under the south gate of the city, saying it was no different from not saying it.

Gongsun Zan: "."

All right, then collect more taxes this year to prepare for emergencies.

Tax increase?

Xu Da euphemistically persuaded: "It is enough to collect taxes according to the usual practice in previous years. It is hard to get people's peace of mind. Raising taxes rashly may distract people's hearts and shake the foundation."

Gongsun Zan said that if I don't listen, I won't listen. It's serious to prepare food, grass and horses for the big battle!

Besides, isn't this year's food [-]% more than in previous years?

I only add [-]%, they still have [-]% left!
"Please don't leave me alone on this matter." Gongsun Zan cupped his fist respectfully at Xu Da, and leaving these words, Gongsun Zan left.

Xu Da looked up to the sky and sighed softly: "Sin, you only want [-]% of it, but if this layer of exploitation continues, the common people will finally get an extra [-]% this year, and I'm afraid they won't be able to keep it."
