Chapter 73 Literacy Class

February 11th.

The people of Yuhang County were too enthusiastic, so Jinmao stayed for a day before returning to Shanyin County.

Kan Ze and others are ready and are waiting for Jin Mao to go to Wushang County together.

Tang Mao was reluctant but still agreed to give Kan Ze the books he wanted, saying that he would need time to copy them.

Jinmao asked Kan Ze for his opinion.

Kan Ze’s answer is very interesting: “Students make a living by copying books all year round, and their memory is OK. Just give them a copy of the books they haven’t copied.”

Jin Mao exclaimed that he had found a treasure. Now he had teaching materials for the literacy classes. He could just let Kan Ze compile them.

Even so, Tang Mao also said that apart from the family heirlooms, other books that Kan Ze had not read would be sent to him.

On that day, Jin Mao planned to stay overnight in Shanyin County and asked Kan Ze to write a letter to Xun Yu on his behalf.

As night was about to fall, the county governor Tang Mao prepared a dinner to see Jin Mao off and to celebrate the successful expulsion of the Yuhang pirates.

Before the dinner started, an unexpected person came to ask to see Jin Mao.

"Wu Fan?"

Jin Mao knew the visitor's intention and didn't want to meet him.

Unexpectedly, Kan Ze, who was helping to write the letter, suddenly raised his head and asked, "But is it Wu Wen Ze from Shangyu?"

After receiving a positive reply, Kan Ze excitedly pleaded with Jin Mao: "Ming Gong, I want to see you."

Okay, let’s meet then.

Who made Kan Ze humble, polite and studious?

In order to cultivate Kan Ze into a great talent, Jinmao doesn't mind helping.

As soon as Wu Fan entered the room, he shouted, "I know how to calculate the circumference of a circle. You can't stump me!"

“?” Jin Mao was speechless.

It turns out that Wu Fan, with such thick panda eyes, is calculating the value of pi. He is truly an academic maniac.

"I have met Mr. Wu. May I ask what is the secret of the circumference of a circle?"

Wu Fan ignored the young Kan Ze and stared at Jin Mao: "What else do you have to say?"

"I just want to say." Jin Mao stretched out his hand and made a gesture to invite someone: "Sleep well and don't die suddenly. This time I will forgive you for bumping into me."

Before Wu Fan could respond, Kan Ze blamed Jin Mao: "It's all my fault for being greedy. Please punish me, sir."

Jin Mao opened his mouth, not knowing what to say. One was too rude, the other too polite. Could it be that in the future, he would also have to form a pair of Crouching Dragon and Phoenix Chick?
In the end, he could only wave his hand and said, "Derun, I don't want to see this person again. If you have anything you want to ask, just figure it out yourself."

"Yes!" Kan Ze bowed respectfully: "Student, take your leave."

"Goodbye, Derun." When it came to Wu Fan, Jin Mao's face turned unhappy: "Go to sleep!"

Jin Mao has never had a good impression of such self-righteous people, which reminds him of another person.

Sheng Xian, a famous scholar in Taimo County!
Sooner or later he will get back at the place!

"Bring Yu Zhongxiang with you when the time comes and beat this bastard to death!"

Jin Mao laughed just thinking about that scene.

There was nothing much to say about the dinner. People of all kinds kept toasting Jinmao, flattering him and asking for cooperation.

Jinmao doesn't drink the wine, but he accepts all the others.

These powerful families in the north of Kuaiji County are easy to deal with individually, but it is difficult to deal with them together.

Jinmao feels that the north and south are different, and may need to change its strategy slightly. Of course, this is all a story for the future.

For the time being, he has no idea whether to reorganize the north or digest the south first.

The next day.

Tang Ji came to see Jin Mao off.

Once again, Tang Ji was very angry when she sent a letter without a poem, and she kept pouting.

This made Jin Mao feel cute and he wanted to kiss her several times, but was pushed away by Tang Ji.

Unfortunately, even if Tang Ji didn’t help to see him off, her father-in-law would.

However, Tang Ji refused to give up the right to deliver the letter, as it was her unique privilege!
When it was time to say goodbye, Tang Ji was very reluctant to leave, so she stopped being obsessed with poetry and asked instead: "Next time you let me deliver a letter, you have to write it for me!"

"Good good."

Tang Ji stamped her feet and said coquettishly: "I have to make up for these two times!"

"Good good."

"I also want that kind of...disgusting letter, even more disgusting than the one given to Xun Yu!"

"Good good."

"You don't have anything else to say to me except good things?"

Jin Mao snapped his fingers and said, "Wait for me to marry you!"

"Hmph~" Tang Ji blushed and raised her head happily: "That's better." When they really parted, Tang Ji burst into tears again and couldn't stop for a long time.

...

Zhuji County.

Jinmao had enough war horses, so he did not take a detour through Shangyu County, but returned directly through Zhuji County.

It can be said that this time Jinmao toured the entire Kuaiji County and gained a lot.

The military generals included He Qi, Dong Xi and Ling Cao.

The literati include Kan Ze and Wu Fan.

That’s right, Wu Fan also came along. I don’t know how Kan Ze convinced him, but he came along anyway.

Jinmao did not refuse, but just left the communication matter to Kan Ze.

Sometimes, Jin Mao was also puzzled. He could communicate with humans of any race using language, but he just couldn't communicate with some people.

In addition to talent, Jinmao has gained greater benefits in other areas.

First of all, there is the military regime of the entire county.

Secondly, I got a lot of books from my father-in-law.

Finally, he had a clear idea of ​​the development direction for the next one or two years.

Zhuji County is the experimental point for Jinmao to verify whether its ideas are correct.

There are also many powerful people here. The only difference is that Zhuji County is closer to Shanyin County and even closer to Jinmao.

Jinmao will be the first to know if there is any disturbance.

Therefore, Jinmao stayed in Zhuji County for ten days and signed a win-win cooperation agreement with all the people.

As for the powerful families, they can sign or not.

Although the people’s land was not good, it was still quite a lot, accounting for 70% to 80% of Zhuji County.

As long as we get these lands, the rest doesn't matter.

As for whether the powerful families will cause trouble?
No one will forget the "pioneer" Jiao Jiao.

Frightened by Jinmao's power, Zhuji County was quickly acquired. No one was stupid enough to take 40% of the stones and not sign, but wait for 30% before signing.

That’s right! I’m talking about those gentry in Wushang County. They must be regretting their decision now.

Wushang County.

Things are different now than before.

The whole county is busier, with various supplies constantly being delivered from outside.

Jinmao can no longer set up its headquarters in Jinyun Mountain, as it is still too remote and too small.

Dongxiang became the first choice.

It is connected to Taimo and Shanxian in a horizontal line, and to Zhuji, Lizhou and other places in a vertical line, making it convenient to get to anywhere.

Therefore, Jinmao settled Kan Ze and others in Dongxiang, and sent people to Jinyun Mountain to move the original team over.

In fact, there is nothing left in Jinyun Mountain, just an oil pressing workshop and a farm tool making workshop, and it would be easy to build another one.

Mainly talent.

Jinyun Mountain has trained a large number of talents who are good at farming and making agricultural tools.

Jinmao is planning to open several more literacy classes to provide collective literacy training for these talents.

You don't need to learn too much, just recognize the 500 most commonly used words and simple addition and subtraction.

Even if 500 words are too many, 300 words is fine as long as it is enough.

The teachers of the literacy class are tentatively Kan Ze and Wu Fan.

Kan Ze had the heaviest task. Not only did he have to compile teaching materials and teach, he also had to convince Wu Fan. He was simply the first principal of the literacy class.

In response, Kan Ze remained the same as usual, accepting it humbly and politely, but made a small request.

"Are you going to ask Sheng Xian for help?"

Jin Mao couldn't figure it out, but he didn't stop him: "Then go and invite them yourself. I'll leave this matter entirely to you."

Something magic happened.

I don’t know how Kan Ze invited Sheng Xian, but Sheng Xian didn’t come, but sent his son Sheng Kuang.

It was a pleasant surprise that Jin Mao readily agreed to let Sheng Kuang teach.

Something unexpected.

Damn Sheng Kuang wants to join the army!
"Your father is a famous scholar, why are you so weird?"

Jin Mao didn't understand: "Can't you carry forward your father's teachings?"
