I was a famous teacher in ancient times

Chapter 449 Contentment
Early the next morning, Yang Xi and the others had already finished washing up at dawn. The rice porridge cooked in the morning was steamed with vegetarian buns, and after a simple breakfast, they set off for Fucheng.

The carriage that Yang Xi was sitting in was rebuilt. It used four horse-drawn carriages. A small table could be placed in the carriage, and it would not be crowded for four adults at the same time.

Zhou Yu looked at Xixuan, who was amusing Zhenyuan. The carriage was not moving very fast, so he asked, "Aren't you in a hurry to go back to Fucheng?"

Yang Xixuan was fanning with a fan in his hand, and his posture was very comfortable, "Don't be in a hurry to go back."

He wanted to see how many people were restless when he was not in Fucheng, but he knew that there were many spies eager to move.

Yang Xi has disassembled the firearm into parts, and picked out a few small parts, "This is the missing part of the firearm you seized."

Yang Xixuan felt distressed, and asked carefully, "Sister, can you put it back on?"

Yang Xi glanced, "I've dismantled it many times."

Said that the movements in the hands were not slow, and quickly reassembled the parts, and the firearms were reassembled in no time.

Yang Xixuan checked it carefully in his hand, and gave it a try, giving him a thumbs up, "Sister, you are really amazing."

Yang Xi snorted, "The foreigners' firearms are really good, but the real retrospective is that our firearms are very powerful. When the dynasty was first established, the firearm technology for burst fire was already very advanced."

It's a pity that future generations do not cherish it.

Yang Xixuan was more concerned, "Can it be improved?"

Yang Xi looked at Zhou Yu, Zhou Yu pondered, "The smelting technology is not good, there is not much room for improvement."

Yang Xixuan was also worried, "Smelting."

Zhou Yu sighed, "And Ruizhou is short of coal."

There are no coal mines in Ruizhou. All coal is obtained from other states. When the imperial court was built, it was in charge of [-]% of the coal mines that could be mined. The remaining coal mines were occupied by some families. .

When the country died, some families used coal mines to make a fortune. Now that the country is dead, the coal mines have been divided up.

Yang Xixuan tapped his hand with his fan. He was in a very good mood, "The weather in Ruizhou is good and there is no shortage of food. I can't take all the good things."

He felt that God had already loved him very much.

Zhou Yu's eyes flashed with praise, "It's good for you to think so."

However, Yang Xixuan kept the coal in his heart. There was not much coal left in Ruizhou now. He used a lot of coal to make weapons, so he had to think about getting more coal.

Yang Xixuan drew a map with his hands dipped in tea. There were only a few coal states in the country, and they were all gathered in the northwest. When he looked at the location of Ruizhou, he tsk tsk, it was too far away, and it was impossible to count on it for a while.

As for exchanging grain for coal mines, he would not be stupid. First, he is reforming military households and needs a lot of grain. Second, even if there is grain, it cannot be exposed. This year, the temperature is abnormal and there is a drought in the south. Who knows the drought Will it last until next year, he doesn't want to be besieged.

In the afternoon, the team stopped in a small village. The village was not big in size. The team stopped at the entrance of the village and shocked the villagers.

The children who were playing at the entrance of the village just now disappeared, and the whole village was suddenly silent.

Yang Xixuan jumped out of the carriage and sent a few people to the village to exchange vegetables.

After waiting for a while, the simple stove was set up, and hot water was already boiled in the pot. At this time, a few villagers carried baskets on their backs to deliver vegetables.

Yang Xi observed the villagers, and she found that although the villagers were afraid of the soldiers, she tried to calm herself down, and her eyes flashed with excitement when she saw Xixuan.

Yang Xi understood, Xi Xuan sent someone to the village to explain his identity.

An old man in his fifties put down his back basket and did not leave. Instead, he took the lead and knelt down. He stumbled and spoke because of nervousness, "I, we are grateful to General Yang for tax cuts. There are no expensive things in the house. These vegetables and eggs are from our heart. Please accept it, General."

Yang Xixuan stood up and helped the old man himself, "Get up quickly, I already know what you are waiting for, there are still many things I can't take care of when I first took hold of Ruizhou, but you can rest assured, as long as I am here for one day, you can wait. Live and work in peace.”

The old man was fighting with his hands in excitement, and he was helped up by General Yang himself. What a great honor!

In Yang Xi's eyes, the old man was about to faint because of his excitement, but fortunately there were two men supporting the old man.

Yang Xixuan said with a smile: "If you agree to change the vegetables, this general will count, pony."

The pony took the prepared salt and put it in the bamboo basket.

Because they were afraid of the ponies, the old man and the others did not dare to say a word.

Xiaoma, "If the general doesn't take the people's things for nothing, please don't make the general embarrassed."

The old man's heart was beating suddenly, this soldier was too tall, there was still General Yang in his mind, and he wanted to leave quickly.

Yang Xixuan stared at the back of the old man who was running away quickly, and looked at the pony helplessly, "You should also smile more and don't keep your face straight."

The pony twitched the corners of his mouth, revealing eight big teeth, "Laughing like this?"

Yang Xixuan raised his hand to cover his eyes, "Hurry up and disappear."

The pony muttered, "It won't make me laugh now."

Yang Xixuan said with a stern face, "It's good that you don't smile, you are majestic enough to intimidate people."

The pony hummed and turned to leave with a few baskets of vegetables in one hand.

Yang Xixuan clicked his tongue, "Brother-in-law, look at his attitude."

Zhou Yu snorted coldly, "I think Xiaoma's attitude is very correct."

Yang Xixuan looked like her brother-in-law had a problem with her eyes, and said to Zhenyuan, "Don't imitate your uncle."

Zhenyuan blinked, "Hello, Uncle."

Yang Xixuan pinched Zhenyuan's fleshy cheeks, "I'm better than your little uncle."

Yang Xi couldn't stand it any longer, "Don't implicate Zhenyuan in the quarrel, Zhenyuan and aunt go to the creek."

The little adults Zhenyuan exhaled a breath, the little uncle and uncle were too willing to bicker, "Auntie, shall we go catch the little fish by the creek?"

Yang Xi was delighted, "Zhenyuan still knows that there are fish in the creek?"

Zhenyuan nodded, "When he is hungry, Zhenyuan will catch small fish to eat."

The smile on Yang Xi's mouth disappeared, he picked up Zhenyuan, "Zhenyuan will not eat raw food in the future."

Zhenyuan wrapped her arms around her aunt's neck and asked in a low voice, "Auntie, did Zhenyuan never wake up from a dream?"

He was really afraid, afraid that it would be a dream all the time. He remembered that when he was beaten and cried, the most he wanted to do was sleep. Only when he fell asleep could he dream and someone would save him.

Yang Xi kissed the little guy's face, "It's not a dream, Zhenyuan really found his aunt and uncle."

Zhenyuan was very happy, "Auntie, do we want to catch small fish?"

Yang Xi smiled, "Yes, catch some small fish and fry them."

When I got to the stream to catch fish, I didn’t need Yang Xi. There were servants who caught small fish. The fish in the stream didn’t grow up, so they caught a lot of them quickly. Fewer prawns and small crabs.

For the first time, Yang Xi heard Zhenyuan's cheerful laughter, and pulled the little guy back, the little guy jumped and walked happily, showing how happy the little guy was.
