The Heavens: A Strengthening Journey Starting from Ip Man

Chapter 73

These children are as young as six or seven years old, and as old as eleven or twelve years old, but without exception, they are all orphans.

Gu Yun also worked hard to take care of them.

In the first three years, apart from teaching and reading, the most important thing he did was to reshape the three views of these children.

If Gu Yun's educational philosophy is to be summed up, there is only one word to describe it, and that is to strive for the common people.

During these three years, Gu Yun also used his knowledge to open a textile factory.

He bought advanced textile machines directly from the store, then disassembled them into parts, handed them over to several carpenters and blacksmiths for batch building, and finally let his students assemble them.

Later, he took in a group of refugees as workers, produced a large amount of cloth, and put it directly into the market.

I made a lot of money in the early stage, but this also aroused the covetousness of many people, including the nobles, merchants, and bandits of Qi Kingdom.

However, these people came to the door on the first day, and were inexplicably wiped out the next day.

One or two incidents happened, and no one doubted Gu Yun yet, but after more than a dozen incidents, those high-level people began to pay attention to Gu Yun.

-

Before the waterfall, an exquisite attic stands on top of the rocks, surrounded by lush greenery, birds dancing in the sky, and big fish wandering underwater.

On the upper seat of the attic, there is a large wooden couch. The wooden couch is covered by a gauze curtain. Behind the gauze curtain lies a slender and stunning beauty. This person is the Empress of Huanyinfang.

"Report to Empress, there is news from Yanzhou!" Huanyinfang's subordinates reported, holding a sealed letter in her hand.

The empress moved her arm, and the letter flew into her hand automatically.

The empress opened the letter, scanned it, and said, "It's so wonderful."

In less than a moment, a seductive woman with a graceful figure came up.

"I'm here to see the Empress!" Miao Chengtian bowed respectfully.

The female emperor said: "The governor of Yanzhou was killed, the murderer is very likely to be this person, you go to Yanzhou to investigate, if the situation is true, the murderer will be executed on the spot."

"Yes!" Miao Chengtian replied.

She took the letter and slowly backed out.

On the other side, Gu Yun brought Li Jianguo and others to a farm.

"You all saw the situation here just now, so I'm here to test you now, Jianguo, tell me the basic situation of these farmers." Gu Yun looked at Li Jianguo and said.

Li Jianguo immediately said: "Master, there are 92 peasant households here, a total of 40 people, of which [-] are self-cultivated farmers, and the rest are tenants of a landlord named Zhang.

"Master Zhang collects [-]% to [-]% of the rent, of which [-]% is owned by the landlord and [-]% by the tenant.

"Although the self-cultivating farmers have their own land, the tax rate is extremely high, with [-]% of the tax revenue. In addition, they have to pay corvee every year. In many cases, the farming time is delayed, so that the grain output is greatly reduced.

"So except for Mr. Zhang's family, the rest of the family can't support their family by farming, and they often go out to do odd jobs, or go to the mountains to pick wild vegetables and fruits to satisfy their hunger.

"If they get sick, they can only carry it on their own. If they can't resist, they will die. As for those who have no support in their families, they can only sell one or a few children to keep the rest of the family alive. He directly became a beggar and went to the streets to beg.”

After hearing this, Gu Yun nodded and said: "Jianguo is right, this family village is very similar to the dozen or so villages we visited before, and this is also the living situation of the people at the bottom.

"Children, you have all experienced suffering, but compared to those who are still living in suffering, you are also lucky, at least you don't have to live a miserable life now.

"I often tell you to remember your own suffering, study hard, strengthen yourself, and then save those who are still living in suffering.

"After you go back, you will write a report on the situation in Zhangjiacun, and then write how to save these people based on what you have learned. Remember to give it to me tomorrow."

After hearing this, the more than 20 children immediately responded, "Yes, Mr. Big."

Gu Yun nodded in satisfaction. This is also one of the contents of his teaching. He not only needs to teach them the knowledge in books, but also educates them in reality.

Fortunately, none of these children were stupid. Those who were thirteen or fourteen years old could already understand what he said, and those older children could even draw inferences about other cases from one instance.

This is what surprised Gu Yun. At least, his efforts in the past three years have not been wasted.

After returning, Gu Yun found Li Jianguo.

"Master, you are looking for me." Li Jianguo walked into the door.

Gu Yundao: "Son, do you still remember what I told you three years ago?"

"Well, master, you said, I am the bearer of your ideal, I have always remembered this sentence." Li Jianguo nodded vigorously.

Gu Yun smiled and said: "Son, you have learned the basics very well. Now, I will give you a task to read these books carefully."

With that said, Gu Yun took out six books from the space, these six books are his recompiled anthology of thoughts.

These six books summarize his experience in the previous three lives, and combined with materialism, they can be said to be his most essential knowledge at present.

Li Jianguo took the books solemnly, and said, "Master, I will study hard."

"Well, you study carefully, and if you come across something you don't understand, come and ask me, and I will answer you one by one. In addition, there are four other people who have completed the basic knowledge like you. There are still several sets of books here. You will These books are also handed over to them, so that they can study them carefully."

Gu Yun took out four more sets of books from the space and handed them to Li Jianguo.

Li Jianguo saluted Gu Yun, then left with the five sets of books.

"Phew, this spark is finally about to ignite. Give me another two years before I can start planning." Gu Yun looked at the bright moon outside the window and murmured.

"Giggle."

Suddenly, a laugh came from outside.

Gu Yun said expressionlessly: "You have been outside for half an hour, come in."

"Yo, I didn't expect that this young master is not weak in kung fu!"

The door was opened, and a voluptuous woman walked in with her slender waist twisted.

"I warned Huanyinfang before, but I didn't expect that you would come to die." Gu Yun looked at the person who came, and from his attire, he knew that this was Miao Chengtian of the Nine Heavens Saint Princess.

"What a big tone, boy, do you know where you are!" Miao Chengtian's face changed, and he said with a murderous look.

Gu Yun shook his head and said: "I didn't want to face Huanyinfang so early, but since you guys have come to your door, I have no choice but to meet your empress." Gu Yun stood up slowly.

"court death!"

Miao Chengtian shouted angrily, and was about to attack Gu Yun.

But the next moment, she felt her neck was pinched, and then her whole body was lifted up.

Miao Chengtian looked horrified. She didn't expect that she had no power to fight back.

Although she has just advanced to the big star position, she has never met an opponent in the era when the sky position was not released.

"I will accept your head."

Gu Yun squeezed hard, and it turned out to be Miao Chengtian, and then his figure flashed, killing all the Huanyinfang killers hiding in the courtyard.
