I was a famous teacher in ancient times

The news of the success of the Dezhou hydraulic loom was sent back to Shanghe Village. On this day, Yang Xi and his wife were entertaining Guan Yi at home.

Guan Yi had too many arrest warrants, and only in Ruizhou would he not hide his appearance. This time Guan Yi came back with two foreign businessmen.

Today Guan Yi came alone and placed the foreign merchants in Xiang County.

Yang Xi held a gift from Guan Yi in his hand, a book about machinery by foreigners, "Thank you."

Guan Yi put down the teacup in his hand, "I don't know foreign language either, so I kept it when I saw the pattern on it."

Yang Xi said: "The above pattern has given me a lot of inspiration, I like this gift very much."

I don't know how Guan Yi got the books. These books about machinery are usually hidden.

Zhou Yu has also read the list that Guan Yi brought back. It contains the rubber tree seeds and surviving saplings he wanted, and more medicinal materials from overseas.

Zhou Yu put down the list with a meaningful smile, "Guan Dangjia didn't find any ore?"

Guan Yi spread his hands and looked embarrassed, "It is true that the ore was discovered, but I have too few soldiers in my hand, and there are a lot of foreigners wherever there are ores, so I can only look at it with greed."

Zhou Yucai didn't believe Guan Yi's words. Guan Yi was very good at hiding things. If he wanted to get more things, he needed more bargaining chips. Obviously Guan Yi was accumulating chips, "Guan Dang has worked hard all the way."

Guan Yi smiled more sincerely, "Although he worked hard, he earned a lot of money. No matter how hard he worked, it was worth it."

Zhou Yu thought to himself, Guan Yi must have recruited troops, but he didn't know how many. This man's predatory nature was engraved in his bones. Thinking of this, Guan Yi would not honestly build sea ships, this man would only rob.

Yang Xi said, "This time there are a few more good foods in Ruizhou, can Guan Dangjia try them?"

Guan Yi said seriously: "Yes."

Yang Xi motioned for Sun Liu to bring someone over. Several kinds of pickled vegetables, not only canned fruits, but also vegetables, filled the whole table.

Guan Yi showed joy on his face, but his heart was sour with envy. He had no news of Yang Xixuan's attack on Dezhou. When his people knew the news, Dezhou had already been included in the territory of Ruizhou.

What made him jealous the most was that Yang Xixuan's economy was also doing well, looking at these new foods, Guan Yi cursed a few words in his heart.

After Guan Yi tasted it, "Not bad."

Yang Xi also laughed. She wished that more products would be sold overseas, and the workshop could expand production with continuous orders and provide more jobs for the common people.

As for selling to other states, forget it, now is not the time.

After the table was removed, Guan Yi made a new order. Yang Xi took it and saw that the goods requested this time were twice as much as last time. "It seems that the team of Guan's sea-going ships has expanded."

Guan Yi said in a cheerful tone, "Make a fortune together."

Yang Xi put the order away, "The goods can be picked up in five days."

Guan Yi said in a low tone, "Sure enough, General Yang's family has a big business. I waited for half a month last time. This time, I only need to wait five days for twice the goods."

Yang Xi took a sip of tea, "We can't fall behind even if the family gets rich, just like what you just said about getting rich together."

Guan Yi felt uncomfortable listening to it. Yang Xixuan was not only not behind, but left him far behind. Did he know that Yang Xixuan had imitated the cannon, and he felt even more aggrieved. He obviously left only half a year ago. Come on, why is it like leaving for five or six years!
Zhou Yu asked, "What's the situation with the two foreigners brought by Guan Dangjia?"

If he remembered correctly, the foreigners hated Guan Yi to the bone.

Guan Yi sneered, "They wanted to bribe me, so I took them to Ruizhou as planned. As for why the two gentlemen should understand the reason."

Yang Xi and his wife looked at each other. The two of them had guesses in their hearts. Now that Guan Yi said this, Zhou Yu spit out two words, "Cannon."

Guan Yi looked at the two gentlemen suspiciously. He guessed whether it was the cannon imitated by the two gentlemen. Shouldn't you keep a low profile, sir?
Zhou Yu felt scrutinizing gazes, but he didn't care. Anyway, as long as they were stable, they wouldn't be guessed.

Guan Yi withdrew his gaze, thinking carefully that Yang Xixuan should have a craftsman who made firearms, Guan Yi was sour again, "This time there is another merciless request."

He just suffers from the fact that his subordinates basically don't know a few big characters, and he hasn't cultivated many literate subordinates over the years.

Guan Yi also wants to make cannons and firearms by himself, but unfortunately there are few people who can read and write, let alone top craftsmen. Compared with Yang Xixuan, he is poor.

Zhou Yu had already figured it out, "But for the start of the school?"

Guan Yi wasn't embarrassed at all, he wasn't thick-skinned at this time, and he would regret it later, "Yes."

Yang Xi said in his heart that it was a coincidence that Guan Yi came back, which is considered good luck, and the school will start in a few days later.

Zhou Yu said, "I can only give you a chance to take the entrance exam. Whether you can get into the school depends on the student's own ability."

Guan Yi smiled, "That's enough."

He selected a total of 20 people, these are his future able-bodied men, a total of 20 people, he does not believe that all of them will be eliminated.

Zhou Yu, "Then remember to come to the school tomorrow to get the test card."

Tomorrow will officially receive the test card, and the entrance exam will be completed the day after tomorrow. The students will be selected before the school starts, and the enrolled students will participate in the re-opening of the school together.

Guan Yi had lunch at Zhou's house. During the lunch, Guan Yi looked at Qin Bing, "I used to think that Zhou was wrong, but now Mr. Qin Bing is strange. It turns out that his face is fake."

Qin Bing felt that everyone in the world was for profit, and the lord wanted to kill Guan Yi several times, but now he cooperated well. He never thought that one day he would be able to eat at the same table with Guan Yi. Sure enough, life is full of surprises.

Qin Bing raised his glass, "I had to hide in the early years, but now I'm not afraid and I've recovered."

After he didn't have to pretend, the villagers in Shanghe Village were stunned, but no one dared to inquire about it. Since he restored his surname, every time they saw the people of Shanghe Village, they all looked like he must have a big secret behind him.

Guan Yi wanted to check Qin Bing, but his idea was dismissed in a moment. It has nothing to do with who Qin Bing is.

The atmosphere of the meal was not bad. The children of Ziheng made a small fortune today, and Guan Yi's gift was absolutely generous.

After seeing off Guan Yi, Yang Xi and his wife talked about the carrier pigeons they received in the morning. Yang Xi was relieved but also worried about Xixuan's body, "The reconstruction of the waterway is faster than I thought."

Zhou Yu rubbed his chin, "We underestimated the explosive power of the people in Dezhou."

For a bite to eat, the people of Dezhou worked harder than the people of Ruizhou. The life of the military households in Ruizhou was not easy, but they did not work as hard as the people of Dezhou.
