At the end of the Battle of the Ancient Beacon, Zhang Shouyou and Qin Gui slowly retreated with their troops on Huanqing Road.

There are still many things in Huizhou. Some fortresses must be built, but Tiandu Mountain is in front. Just build a few fortresses by the Yellow River, and then expand some military camps on some of the original castles of Xixia people.

After all, the Xixia ruled Huizhou for so many years, and the Qiang people accounted for a large proportion, and many Qiang people still turned to the Xixia.

A large number of roads were also needed to build to change the backward appearance of this area. However, the Song Dynasty had many prisoners of war in its hands, and in addition, it continued to promote the policy of using service on behalf of taxes in Tiandu Mountain.

If this happens, some tribes will still do what Li Xian did before, then there is no doubt that the Song army will be harshly suppressed.

Then a large number of immigrants who migrated from Lizhou Road were arranged.

But these affairs have nothing to do with Huanqing Road.

When the main army returned, Zhong Shidao became even more unscrupulous and transported the green salt to Qingzhou or Yanzhou.

When the troops on Huanqing Road were collected, the pressure on the military forces on Fuyan Road was reduced.

So Liu Changzuo decisively sent troops to Dalihe, but this was not to capture the people, but to drive the people on the north bank of Dalihe to Hengshan, and did not allow them to bring any supplies and force them to move northward to expel them.

It seems that there are still some Western Xia army in Yinzhou Xiazhou. If you are not convinced, then come and start the war.

However, it is just an expulsion, as long as there is no act of massacre, there is no act of slaughter.

Perhaps Wang Ju did feel that there were too many people who died in his hands, not from the Xixia people, but from the group of monkeys and natives in the south, so Wang Ju is getting softer and softer now.

Including the other side, as long as those who do not resist and do not kill tribes that plunder or immigrate, they will not kill or poach them like they did at the beginning.

Anyway, these indigenous civilizations are backward and the population increases slowly. Immigration has no worries about land and food, and there are policies to encourage more children and children. Then it will not take many years to dilute the proportion of these indigenous populations to a certain extent. Even if there are indigenous people, it is not enough to harm them. Wang Ju's psychology also determined the main theme of this military use. Although most of the Qiang people in the north bank of the Dali River are loyal to the Western Xia, many even participated in the Yongle City bloody case.

Most of the people were expelled, and these tribes were not allowed to follow. No reinforcements came from the Western Xia in the rear. With them fighting on their own, how could they block Liu Changzuo's tens of thousands of troops?

Then Liu Changzuo sent people to harvest summer grain, and then took a large number of animal husbandry in Hebei to Yanzhou. At the same time, he sent an army to the ruins of Yongle City and began to collect the corpses of the army who died in Yongle City.

After doing all this, the Yanzhou army slowly retreated.

Then he sent troops to transport the corpses to the capital with a special six-wheeled chariot.

However, in addition to obtaining some food, animal husbandry and corpses, this battle was not the surprise that Wang Ju said.

Because of the profits brought by Taoxi Sword, the people in Wangjiazhai are now very wealthy, and most of them have built brick and tile houses.

Rows of blue brick and brown tiled houses are hidden under the shade of green trees, which is very beautiful.

But many people don’t know each other anymore. Wang Ju is not the one who migrated here. The Taoxi sword is expensive, but every sword comes out and requires a lot of manpower to make it repeatedly, so many people migrate here later.

Even though some of the old people in the Wangjia Village passed away, there were many young people who Wang Ju didn't know.

Even the patriarch was replaced by an old man named Wang Sheng. When he was in Yanzhou, his house was not far from Wang Ju's cave. According to seniority, Wang Ju even called out to Uncle San.

Under the leadership of this third uncle, Wang Ju entered Wangjia Village, which is his home.

Wang Ju took it out and regarded it as a private school in several surrounding villages. Since Wang Ju came, the private school stopped teaching. Wang Sheng asked the villagers to clean up the house so that Wang Ju's family could live there. However, Wang Ju came to worship his ancestors and did not delay for a long time, so Wang Ju did not object.

Wang Ju entered this private school all the way, but the right to stay in his hands, and it should still belong to his house, but Wang Ju didn't care, including the original cave and the house where the Li family dowed in Yanzhou. Wang Ju took it out together and used it as a private school for the people around him. But the house in the capital was different. It was not okay to start a private school. There were noble families around him, so he planned to hand it over to his brothers Zhang Gui in the future. In recent years, he has been under Wang Ju's name to prevent Zhao Xu from summoning him to Beijing to report his work. It is not appropriate for a family to stay in the inn.

Many people outside slaughtered pigs and sheep to welcome Wang Ju's return.

Wang Ju whispered: "Fai'er, when she left, she took out a thousand guan of money to help the poor people and the widowed elderly in the village, and could not take advantage of the villagers."

The concubine said kindly.

Wang Ju walked out with his hands behind his back.

Outside the village, there are fields that are beyond the edge, and the summer wheat has basically been harvested, but the fields are full of green millet and bean seedlings. It is a prosperous scene, which is no longer as desolate as when he first opened the Zheng Baiqu.

Wang Ju had good eyesight and actually saw some miscellaneous grains he brought from the other side in some corners.

Although the Battle of Xia caused many Poche soldiers to die in Zheng Baiqu, it did not affect the cultivation of Zheng Baiqu's crops, especially in the next two or three years, the food of Zheng Baiqu is particularly important.

After the third uncle made arrangements, he entered the house and said, "Taibao, how many days will be planned to stay this time?"

"In just a few days, after we sacrifice our ancestors, we will go to Hezhou."

"Hezhou, so far?"

"Tubo betrayed our Song Dynasty, and the court may use troops against Tubo, so I have to go to Hezhou, otherwise I will not be able to command it."

Whether in Hezhou or the imperial court's use of military force against Tubo, it was too far away for the "Three Uncles" and unimaginable. But Wang Sheng looked proud: "I didn't expect that a big man appeared in that poor mountain village."

After the two talked for a while, Wang Sheng talked about this private school, and there were 17 candidates, including two young people in Wangjiazhai who passed the exam.

Speaking of this, Wang Sheng is very proud. Thinking about how many achievements a security guard had done back then?

Wang Ju frowned secretly.

Wang Ju was very disliked this.

Why did Wang Ju classify the imperial examination as a Level 4 exam? There are too many scholars taking the imperial examination now, with almost tens of thousands of people in each session, or even nearly two hundred thousand people.

Some large prefectures have a large population and a good education. For example, there are more than 200,000 households in the thirteen counties of Jingzhao Prefecture. Each time the scholars can participate in the examination, reaching 3,400,400 and 5,000, which undoubtedly brings heavy pressure to the prefectures. Therefore, they first pass the examination of the children of each county. Then only a few hundred people will participate in each county, so that the pressure of each prefecture will be removed immediately.

But the only thing that is lenient is the pressure of all prefectures to relieve the test. When the provincial examination is held, not only new candidates will be given, but also old candidates will be given. Therefore, the number of new candidates in each provincial examination can reach more than 10,000, and in most cases it can reach 20,000. The number of officials will be cut off by themselves, and the number of Jinshi places will be reduced. Now only two or three hundred Jinshi will be admitted in each palace examination.

Think about how difficult it would be to have to compete for these two or three hundred places after so many awards.

Therefore, although this private school has produced seventeen candidates, none of them are Jinshi. If you pass the Jinshi, you may not be able to become a high-ranking official. If you fail to pass the Jinshi, you will be useless.

"This kind of education, such an imperial examination," Wang Ju sighed in his heart, and then he looked a little proud.

There is also education on the other side. It is not as good as the Song Dynasty for the time being, but as time goes by, the proportion of people who are literate will soon surpass that of the Song Dynasty.

On the other side, some flexible young students will also be hired as clerks and staff officers in various towns. However, on the other side, clerks are actually officials, at least civil servants, and there is no discrimination, so the salary is much higher than that of the inner six.

However, when recruiting these young students on the other side, it is not about how much classics they know, but whether they can learn and apply them in their expertise and knowledge. Only then will they be recruited, and then let them use the knowledge they have learned to lead the people on a more prosperous path.

Moreover, when teaching in various schools, this article was deliberately mentioned. Regardless of whether students choose to be clerks, staff officers, or choose other professions in the future, they also need to learn and apply them. Only by learning and applying them can they use the knowledge they have learned to bring a better life to themselves. This is the true wisdom.

In fact, in addition to keeping up with technological productivity, many systems on the other side are no less than the **** system.

Now the other side is not as rich as the Song Dynasty. Not only is the number of people too small, but the average wealth is not as good as the Song Dynasty. There are many poor people in the Song Dynasty, but many rich people have scary money in their hands. Therefore, once they are average, they are still far better than the other side.

Of course, Wang Ju would rather have the kind of wealth on the other side than the kind of wealth on the Song Dynasty.

But it is precisely because of the differences in institutional education that even wealth will catch up with each other with great strides.

Even if the wealth between the two sides is almost apart in the future, 80% of the wealth here will be controlled by the first adults, and the wealth in the second, third and fourth-class households will reach more than 80%, which means that the proportion of the middle class will be several times that of the Song Dynasty.

However, Wang Ju would not say these thoughts in his heart, so he kept them in his heart.

Wang Ju chooses auspicious day for the zodiac.

He has not come to worship his ancestors for many years, and maybe he has gone to the other side, and it is impossible for him to worship his ancestors, so this time the ancestor worship is very grand.

The auspicious day of the zodiac is nine days later.

But on the third day, Wang Ju suddenly received a letter from Cai Que, and the content in the letter made Wang Ju laugh and cry.

This matter starts with the bamboo paper workshop.

Wang Ju asked Wang Anshi to sell the bamboo paper workshop to the Gao family. One was to be angry, and the other was to think of ways to get closer to the Gao family. It was not the Gao family, but Gao Taotao. No matter what, you should try it.

However, Mao Yong was alone, and Wen Yanbo and the others were a group of people at that time. No matter how hard he tried, Gao Taotao's response to him became more and more evil.

However, the bamboo paper workshop was in the hands of the Gao family, and the court could not have thought of getting a penny of commercial tax. Even a clever Fujianese people used any means to obtain bamboo paper technology. Although it was not as good as the Gao family's bamboo paper, it was better than the cheaper one. However, after only a year, the Gao family used some means to send this person to prison. Therefore, this workshop alone could almost bring more than 400,000 to the Gao family's profits every year.

Wang Ju is not a Virgin, so it is impossible for him to be upset about this person he doesn't know, but he is very displeased.

So I secretly introduced the bamboo to the other side. There were bamboos on the other side, but the number was very small, and there were many bamboos that were not suitable for bamboo paper.

However, this bamboo paper cannot even satisfy the paper on the other side, and the fleets also transport a large amount of paper trade every year.

Because Wang Ju was displeased, he simply reduced the purchase of bamboo paper and added hemp and rattan paper.

The Gao family also sent someone to ask about this matter, and the other side's reply was simple, just like a bucket of wheat usually costs 30 cents, while a bucket of millet is less than ten cents. However, when the war in the northwest is urgent, whether it is wheat or millet to be transported to the front line, it will cost at least 300 cents, which is before these 300 cents. What is the difference between ten cents and 30 cents?

This is the transportation cost of military rations, and the transportation cost at sea is even higher.

So what is the difference between bamboo paper and rattan paper?

The price difference is not big. Although the quality of bamboo paper has improved now, its toughness can match rattan paper and hemp paper? Although the other side has started to transport bamboo paper, it has not been recognized by others. Therefore, now we have to focus on rattan paper and hemp paper.

This fooled Gao's family. Although the actual shipping fee was high, a ship was often calculated in tens of thousands of stones. On average, it was not as amazing as everyone imagined.

Bamboo paper is also popular in Dashi Japan.

But if someone doesn’t buy it, it will be difficult to sell it? The Gao family has nothing to do with this matter.

However, the large-scale procurement of the Bifang has led to the prosperity of paper workshops in many areas, including a vine paper workshop in Yuezhou. The workshop owner named Guo Yuanzhang. This is a very smart person. He absorbed some production techniques of rice paper and bamboo paper and used ancient vine, mulberry bark, hemp, straw and more than a dozen other materials to develop a new type of vine paper. Not only is it cheap, but the paper quality is also good, so it has become the key target of purchasing on the Bifang.

Especially last year, the Guo family was assigned a business of tens of thousands of chunks of paper.

The Guo family's business was booming, which attracted a covetous look. There was a local named Yanei. His father was the transfer of Jiangnan West Road to Ma Jing. This Ma Yanei came to the Guo family in person and took out five thousand stalks of silk and said that I had bought your workshop.

The Guo family workshop is now very large. If it is nominated, the hardware cost is at least 40,000 to 50,000 yuan. Guo Yuanzhang disagreed and then came to the door.

Under the pressure from Ma Yanei, Guo Yuanzhang was furious and decided to fight to the death. He first surrendered and accepted Ma Yanei's deposit of 2,000 yuan, and then secretly sold the workshop to a Qianwei in Hangzhou at a price of 30,000 yuan.

Then Guo Yuanzhang brought the more than 30,000 slabs of silk to the bank office and exchanged them for gold bars. He found a captain named Xia, a seaboat with whom he was. With the help of the captain Xia, he secretly fled to the other side.

When Guo Yuanzhang was not found, Ma Yanei started to argue with Qian Yuanwai. Qian Yuanwai has a big background and belongs to Qian Chu's lineage. Although he is not a descendant of Qian Chu, his relationship is not very distant.

Who is afraid of whom? In the end, they alarmed the governments in Hangzhou and Yuezhou.

Hangzhou magistrate Teng Yuan and Yuezhou magistrate Liu Zai found Captain Xia. Since Guo Yuanzhang received the deposit from the Ma family, he would not sell the workshop to the Qian family. At least he would return the deposit to the Ma family now.
