After Gu Nanxi told everyone not to be polite, she continued to look at the two little babies with a smile, waiting patiently for their answers.
All kinds of looks were cast around, making the two children suddenly at a loss.
Their father was anxious and kept urging the two children with his eyes and making lip sounds.
The little boy ignored his father and instead stared at Gu Nanxi with burning eyes: "Are you really the general?"
"Yes!"
The little girl eagerly asked for confirmation: "Will the academy you want to open accept female dolls?"
Gu Nanxi noticed that many people also raised their heads, obviously wanting to know the answer to this question.
So, Gu Nanxi raised her voice and said categorically: "Take it! The academy provides accommodation and day study, a large canteen, and the food is very cheap! Those with excellent grades will also be free of tuition."
"Wow!"
After hearing what Gu Nanxi said, the people present couldn't help but whisper among themselves.
"This is really amazing! The scholar in the next village recruits students, and he needs two or three coins for a year of cultivation!"
"Oh, it's a pity that Fuming Town is too far away from us."
“Can’t we still stay here?!”
Many people are very excited.
It is really difficult for people at the bottom to climb up across social strata.
Not to mention being an official, even when hiring shopkeepers, most of them are passed down from father to son, or they are related to each other!
The only two ways to climb up are to be a soldier or to study!
The little girl ignored her mother’s involvement in her clothes and said desperately: "General, I have thought about it, I want to go to the academy to study!"
Gu Nanxi was very happy and said immediately: "Okay! You Go ahead and read, I’ll cover all the tuition and living expenses!”
The little girl followed the example of an adult and bowed respectfully to Gu Nanxi: “Common man Du Minzhen, thank you, General!”
Seeing that the little girl spent this rare opportunity studying, his parents gave her a look of hatred.
The little boy's thoughts were more delicate: "General, I want to plant many Eucommia trees for you, and I also want to plant a lot of food so that all the people on the border will no longer starve. Grandpa only knows how to teach I grow Eucommia ulmoides, but others can’t.”
Gu Nanxi really felt that she had found a treasure.
She touched the little boy's head and promised: "Okay, I will find you a master. He is the best farmer in the world!"
Mr. Xu has a bit of a temper. Weird, he never accepted an apprentice.
Gu Nanxi was not sure whether he would accept this little boy, so she could only try her best to polish off Mr. Xu.
The little boy suddenly burst into joy and knelt down: "Du Minjie, a common man, thank you, General!"
After Gu Nanxi followed Guo Xiaoyue into the city, the Du family's parents had two children. A hard slap on the butt.
"Look at what you have made! Even if you want some gold and silver, it will come true!"
Du Minzhen burst into tears, but she still held her head up stubbornly and asked: "If not General, will you allow me to go to the academy?" Mother Du was at a loss for words: "Little girl, what are you doing with so many books? You can't become an official! Wouldn't it be nice to stay at home and learn to be a female worker and do housework? ?”
Du Minzhen was not convinced: "The general is a woman! If she can be the governor of Yunzhou, maybe she will recruit female officers in the future! I am still young, I can afford to wait!"
After all! She was the precious daughter she had held in her palms since she was a child. Mother Du didn't hesitate to scold her, she just sighed, her heart ached because of this girl's anger!
This girl is so wild and big-hearted, how can she get married in the future? It seems that I still need to prepare more dowry for her.
Father Du on the side was not as good-tempered as Mother Du. With his big hands like bear paws, he hit Du Mingjie's buttocks and slapped him several times.
"You unfilial son! You have no future! You can even imitate your sister and say you want to go to the academy! With this opportunity, you can also be a clerk in the future. But what do you mean, you still have to farm. ? ”
Father Du was almost in tears because of this silly boy. He clapped his hands again in frustration: "I'm so angry! Our ancestors have faced the loess and turned their backs to the sky for several generations. Haven't you had enough of such a hard life?!"
Du Minjie didn't shed tears or feel aggrieved. He just looked at his father calmly. Said: "It's because I've had enough, that's why I want to learn skills. I want farmers all over the world to relax, so that they can fill their stomachs after a year of hard work!"
Fu Fu His anger subsided a little, but not completely: "You are amazing, you are noble, you are great "Have you ever thought about what to do with your family?"
Du Minjie's eyes were steady and unmatched by his age: "I have thought about it. It is obvious that our family relies on the Eucommia tree. I can definitely improve my abilities.”
"Dad, my ambition is not just Eucommia trees, I want to plant them all over the world!"
What Du Minjie didn't say was that he wanted the general to never have to worry about anything again! If enough food was harvested to keep everyone full, the general wouldn't have to work as hard as he does now!
He knew how Lao Zhangtou from the neighboring village died. He died of exhaustion!
He didn’t want his most beloved general to die of exhaustion.
The deal is done. No matter how sorry the Du family's parents are, they can't change the result. They have to hold on to a smile in the face of congratulations from strangers.
Du Minjie and Du Minzhen looked at each other and couldn't help but feel happy.
Gu Nanxi, who entered the county government office, had no idea about all this.
Gu Nanxi was still telling Guo Xiaoyue: "Those two little babies are very good. If you have the time, help take care of them more and don't let others bully them. These little babies are the future of our Yunzhou !”
Guo Xiaoyue nodded in agreement.
Perhaps because Guo Xiaoyue is too tall, the county government office in Yuyi Town is wider than in other towns.
After Gu Nanxi sat down at the head of the table, others took their seats one after another.
About a dozen pairs of eyes were looking at Gu Nanxi eagerly. The look on so many bearded men was a little funny and a little sad at the same time.
Gu Nanxi did not sell out to them: "The future of Yuyi Town and Rouxuan Town lies in the Eucommia trees!"
Guo Xiaoyue was a little disappointed: "As a medicinal material, Eucommia ulmoides is reasonably priced. , but farming is very time-consuming, and you have to wait at least ten Next year. Only by cutting down a Eucommia tree can we get so much Eucommia ulmoides."
Gu Nanxi: "Zi Ting knows a way to peel off the bark and keep the tree from dying. What's more, it's not what we want to use. bark, but its leaves and seeds.”
Guo Xiaoyue had obviously soaked Eucommia leaves in water: "Do you want the filaments inside? That thing is of no use."
Gu Nanxi's eyes flashed: "You have to look for this Pu Chang and the others are dead."
Gu Nanxi silently apologized to Pu Chang in her heart. Those who are capable work harder. For the development of the entire Yunzhou and the entire human society, he can only work hard! (End of this chapter)
