Chapter 309: New Year's Gifts from Children

"Old Taoist Priest?" Gu Nanxi saw that the old Taoist Priest who was supposed to be in Hangzhou actually came all the way to Fuming Town, and her heart suddenly tightened. Could it be that something happened to Su Yunting?

The others heard the steps of the governor's acquaintances and squatted down one after another, looking towards the old Taoist priest.

This is a long queue of six or seven carriages, headed by an old man wearing a Taoist robe.

Perhaps because he was in a hurry, his expression was a little sluggish, but he still guarded a large clay pot behind him in a protective manner.

As for the carriages at the back, they were protected by four or five guards.

As soon as the old Taoist priest saw Gu Nanxi, he breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly jumped out of the carriage.

"Meet the general. On Su Erlang's order, I will give you a New Year's gift."

Lu Mei burst into laughter and congratulated Gu Nanxi: "Master, Erlang I am in Hangzhou, so far away, but I am still thinking of you.”

Others also expressed their envy.

Qin Bohuai: "Oh, if that brat in my family had such filial piety, I would have to eat three more bowls of rice!"

Yan Tongchu: "I once heard Boss Li say that all the three brothers and sisters of the Su family have He is so filial to his mother, this is what adults have taught him well."

Gu Nanxi felt a little guilty after being praised. If she is also raising her, then she is indeed very responsible.

The old Taoist leader signaled for people to move the big clay pot on the carriage, and carefully warned: "Move gently, and you must not hurt the things inside."

His actions Naturally arouse the curiosity of others.

Lu Mei: "What's in this?"

The old Taoist scratched his head and said honestly: "It's the ears of wild rice. After discovering these wild rice, Su Erlang ordered people to circle the rice. , I waited for several months before it started to bear fruit.”

Xu was originally careless. Shi Zhao instantly raised his head and stared at the big clay pot with burning eyes: "What's so special about this rice?"

The old Taoist priest remembered Su Erlang's instructions and said: "It's nothing special. The yield is not normal. The rice is so tall that the land it grows on will always be flooded by sea water.”

! ! !

Xu Shizhao's eyes were as big as bells. He didn't care about his old arms and legs. He ran to the pot and rubbed his hands together, as if he didn't know where to start.

"Did it grow by the sea?"

The old Taoist priest looked at the old man curiously, wondering if he was deaf: "Yes, didn't I just say that?"< br>
Xu Shizhao reflexively said: "Are you really not lying to me?"

The old Taoist priest was very annoyed and rolled his eyes: "This is Su Erlang's annual gift to the general. Can you use it to fool people? ?”

Xu Shizhao nodded repeatedly, grinning almost to the back of his head: "Yes, you can't lie!"

Wang Buxi squeezed Lu Mei away and greeted Gu Nanxi: "Sir, you were so busy just now You must be tired for a long time, right? Leave these rough jobs to us. That's good."

Gu Nanxi: "Speak directly if you have anything to say"

Wang Buxi: "This wild rice is destined to our Woye Town!"

Xu Shizhao heard. Yan also turned his head, looking at Gu Nanxi longingly with starry eyes.

Gu Nanxi: "It's all for you."

At this moment, Wang Buxi and Xu Shizhao didn't even eat the New Year's Eve dinner. They held the clay pots, got on the carriage, and ran away as if they were afraid that Gu Nanxi would regret it. Return to Woye Town.

Qin Bohuai looked at their retreating figures and said sourly: "It's good luck that Wang Buxi came to the Governor's Mansion empty-handed to pay New Year greetings, and he got such a big surprise."

This Several towns have all benefited, but Wuchuan Town has no design and planning and has not received a hair at all. Thinking of this, Qin Bohuai felt very uncomfortable. Although there are ten fingers, some are long and some are short, it makes no sense, Wuchuan Town must make the shortest little finger!

Lu Mei interrupted with a smile: "Old Taoist, besides wild rice, what else did Erlang give to our master?"

Mentioning this, the old Taoist searched the crowd to find out who Pu Chang was from the Mohist family. ?

“The rest are all firearms.”

Qin Bohuai crossed the old Taoist priest and lifted the oilcloth covering the carriage closest to him.

Sure enough, the carriage was full of firearms!

There are cylindrical ones, round ones, less than the size of a palm, and even longer than an arm...

Without anyone who knows how to guide me, I really don’t know how to use these things.

Now Qin Bohuai was no longer aggrieved or bitter. His arrogant laughter deafened everyone.

"Sir, these are from our Wuchuan Town, right?"

Gu Nanxi naturally would not favor one over the other: "Yes."

Qin Bohuai waved his hand, and several fully armed soldiers took over the carriages.

Calling Pu Chang and the old Taoist priest again, Qin Bohuai was eager to return and led the team back to Wuchuan Town!

In the blink of an eye, the governor's mansion, which had been crowded just now, relaxed.

Yan Tongchu joked: "This old Qin, his face changes faster than the sky in June."

Gu Nanxi covered her deflated belly and asked others to sit down.

After everyone had almost eaten, Gu Nanxi got down to business.

"The Queen and Concubine Tong are happy, and the Holy Spirit will grant Enke special support. Although our Yunzhou has just been established, we cannot miss this opportunity."

Yan Tongchu: "Sir, do you want to Build a school? "

Yunzhou is a vast and sparsely populated area, and suffers from wars every year.

It is difficult for the people to fill their stomachs, let alone send their children to school.

Even if there are wealthy families who want their children to have a bright future, they will not let their children hang out in Yunzhou. Instead, they will find a way to move to Shuozhou or even Xiangzhou.

But in this way, those students will not be counted as students from Yunzhou, but from other states. When they enter the court in the future, they will join other factions.

Gu Nanxi: "If we want Yunzhou to develop safely and steadily, we must cultivate Yunzhou's own power in the court."

Gu Nanxi sincerely serves Yunzhou Zhou Da has a long-term plan. He serves as the governor of Yunzhou for a day. With his own network, he can still speak in the court.

When one day, I no longer serve as governor, it will be hard to say if someone else takes over!

But this plan took a different turn when it fell into the ears of Yan Tongchu and others.

Yan Tongchu admired him from the bottom of his heart. The man he followed was indeed a master of leveraging his strength!

Through the Holy Spirit's special opening to Enke, he was able to study in Yunzhou justifiably.

First, we can take advantage of this opportunity to name those students who have defected to Yunzhou. Most of Niu Jinyi and the others have the status of being a scholar. If they succeed in passing the Jinshi this time, or even the top scholar, they will be able to enter the court smoothly!

The second is long-term planning! Your grand plans and great undertakings require talents to manage! Starting a school in advance is to reserve talents for the future!

Gu Nanxi didn't know that her subordinates had already misunderstood her intentions and were still trying to persuade her: "My eldest son sent a few disciples to bring the "March 5" and other information from Baichuan Academy. A branch of Baichuan Academy is opened in Yunzhou."

Yan Tongchu and others looked at each other and understood!

The general never said it clearly, but her actions were clear!
