Famous and beautiful Tang Dynasty

Lin Ran led more than twenty children into the compound of the camp.

"Young master, the classroom has been arranged according to your instructions. I have sent Hou San and the others to the market to buy goose feathers. The soldiers learned yesterday that the young master is going to teach here, and many soldiers also hope to come in their spare time. Studying lessons here, I don't know what the young master wants?"

Zhang Zheng said respectfully to Lin Ran.

After tidying up the classroom and setting up the tables and chairs yesterday, I learned that the young master will come here to teach the children of Linjiacun tomorrow. Many soldiers hope to attend classes with the children, so I hope Zhang Zheng will convey the news to the young master. wish.

"Okay, count the list of soldiers who want to learn, and try to arrange for them to participate in the study. At worst, I will take a few more classes."

Lin Ran said without hesitation that his soldiers want to learn and improve, which is a good phenomenon and a positive signal.

Lin Ran has no reason to reject the soldiers, especially these soldiers who are eager to learn must have a hardworking and enterprising heart. Once they learn something, it will greatly promote the future development of the soldiers. For Lin Ran It is also a thing that has all benefits but no harm, so why not do it?

"Okay, young master. I'll go to count right away, and I'll be the first to sign up." Zhang Zheng rubbed his head and said with a shy smile.

"Okay, count yourself in. Go." Lin Ran responded to Zhang Zheng's request with a smile, and then led the children into the classroom.

"Wow... what a beautiful classroom."

Looking at the clean and tidy classrooms, brand-new desks and chairs, the children's eyes are full of stars twinkling.

After arranging the children's seats, Lin Ran began his first lecture in Datang under the eyes of the children's expectations and excitement.

Looking at the bright eyes without a trace of dirt, the children who were as pure as sheets of white paper, Lin Ran secretly made up his mind that he must be a qualified teacher from today onwards.

A single spark can start a prairie fire, maybe the small flames in the hearts of these children will start to ignite here, and will eventually shine in the time and space of this era...

"Lin Feng, these two characters are your name. Lin Lan, these two characters are your name... There will be papers for everyone to use this afternoon, and now everyone will keep their names in their hearts Write it down silently, when someone can write out his name completely, raise his hand and tell the teacher, the teacher will ask him to come to the blackboard and write his own name, okay?"

Lin Ran wrote the names of all 24 children on the blackboard, and then asked loudly.

"good·······"

The children answered in unison.

For them, everything today is new, and everything today is enough for them to remember for a lifetime.

The boy under the blackboard, Lin Ran, who used to go fishing with them naked in the river, and play hide-and-seek games in the mountains and plains, has changed his destiny because of his hard work.

Therefore, in their young hearts, the teenagers under the blackboard are their learning goals and their role models.

They cherish this hard-won learning opportunity very much, because without Lin Ran, maybe they will live an illiterate life in this life.

Because their fathers, their fathers' fathers are passed down from generation to generation...

Chapter 81 Rumors That Disturbed His Majesty Li Er

"Report, urgent report in Luoyang. Luoyang has experienced a severe drought. Since the beginning of spring, there has been no rain, and almost all the crops have died in the land."

"Reporting that there have been heavy rains in Fuyang and other places for days, river mouths burst embankments, large areas of farmland were damaged, and almost no crops were harvested. A large number of refugees have been begging all the way and headed straight for Chang'an."

His Majesty Li Erlian was so anxious about Li Erliansan's recent reports that he was at a loss for what to do.

What is the most concerned thing about being a qualified emperor?

It is undoubtedly the suffering of the people.

For this reason, His Majesty Li Er had to summon the Prime Minister Fang Xuanling, several ministers, and the royal doctor several times to carefully discuss the reconstruction and support strategies for the disaster area.

The result is nothing more than reducing or canceling taxes, opening warehouses to release grain and setting up relief points.

But it sounds nice and easy to say.It's really hard to do.

As far as the state capitals and counties are currently affected by the disaster, which family can still have stocks in their granaries?

Counting on His Majesty Li Er to let the household department call?

Last year, His Majesty Li Er still owed the Ministry of War thousands of dans of military rations. He didn't see the elders in the barracks, howling and screaming with hunger all day long.

The only thing that pleased His Majesty Li Er was that Lin Ran's shops had provided him with a lot of money in the past few months, so that he could make up the debt owed by the Ministry of War last year.

After all, right now, stabilizing the morale of the army is a little bit more important than stabilizing the morale of the people.

Luo Yi's rebellion is a lesson learned from the past. His Majesty Li Er doesn't want a second Luo Yi to appear and let himself live in fear.

Seeing that this year's catastrophe is a foregone conclusion, the major aristocratic families with five surnames and seven wangs began to purchase grain on a large scale.

This is their usual method.

This is how a lucrative business snowballs.

When the disaster year approached and the price of food had not yet risen, they made a large purchase, and then when the food on the market was extremely scarce, several big families joined forces to drive up the price of food.

It takes at least ten pennies to sell a penny, not counting the weight of stones and impurities in it.

Of course His Majesty Li Er would not know about all this.

The aristocratic families will not be so stupid that their own direct descendants come forward to buy food, they just send some butlers and the like to the table, and let them complete the family's development plan.

Compared with the disasters reported from various places, there is a rumor that makes His Majesty Li Er feel extremely angry. I do not know when it started, and it has begun to spread in private.

That is, there are people who are rumoring that the flood and drought are related to His Majesty Li Er's Xuanwu Gate incident, saying that it is God's punishment for his Majesty Li Er.

This rumor made His Majesty Li Er extremely frightened...

You must know that the Xuanwu Gate incident has always been an eternal pain in His Majesty Li Er's heart.

His Majesty Li Er asked Bai Qisi to try his best to investigate where the rumor came from, but he had no clue.

Hou San went to the market to buy dozens of big geese, loaded a whole carriage and pulled them back to the camp.

It took Lin Ran a few days to finish all the [-] quill pens that the master had ordered. Of course, he didn't need to do most of them this time.

With the trustworthy Zhang Zheng, Lin Ran felt that he could save a lot of worry and relax.

He taught Zhang Zheng all the crafts of making quill pens. He never thought that Zhang Zheng was also an extremely smart person, and he could master the essence of crafts in just an hour, which made Lin Ran overjoyed.

After handing everything over to Zhang Zheng, Lin Ran had a lot of time to teach the children and soldiers.

The paper that Hou San bought from Chang'an City had arrived, and when Hou San told the price of the paper, even Lin Ran, who is now a millionaire, was also surprised.

And I feel deeply heartbroken, what is the use of this money for?

The problem is that the paper is so rough that Lin Ran can't bear to look directly at it.

Isn't it delicious to buy meat for so much money?

Isn't it good to build houses for villagers and soldiers to marry daughters-in-law?

So Lin Ran decided to make paper by himself, and greatly improved and improved the quality of the paper.

Sure enough, shortly after Zhang Zheng finished making the [-] quill pens, tolerance came on a fast horse.

He carefully reported his name and teacher Lin Ran's name, saying that he was entrusted by Wu Shilang to collect [-] quill pens, and brought the money for the purchase.

Regarding the money, Lin Ran was not polite and took all of it.

The superintendents of the Guozijian are all rich masters. Of course, Lin Ran welcomes them to continue to sponsor.

If you have money but don’t make money, what kind of egg is that...

Of course, Lin Ran also depends on whose money he is making.

Lin Ran politely asked Zhang Zheng to hand over all three hundred quill pens to the visitor.

And he also asked him to bring a bag of tea leaves and a few bottles of self-brewed high-quality wine to each of the teacher and the teacher. The teacher is a good wine. This is what Lin Ran heard from the teacher, so he remembered it in his heart.

In order to improve the paper-making technology, Lin Ran really spent a lot of thought.

After many personal trials, it finally succeeded.

It also made Lin Ran deeply understand the classic saying that failure is success.

Seeing the first pure and white paper being unfolded in his hands, Lin Ran had an incomparably bright smile on his face.

Another skill that has been transformed by my own hands has been greatly improved. This improvement will definitely promote the further expansion of the application of paper. The reduction in cost and price will benefit students of the Tang Dynasty. It is even more a great gospel for the literati and ink writers.

With such paper, Lin Ran had a bolder idea.

Once this idea is realized, its sensational effect is no less than that of the potatoes, sweet potatoes and delicious peanuts that I buried in the ground to come out.

He was waiting, waiting for Ms. Li Le's arrival. Counting the days, it was more than a month since Ms. Li Le left last time.

For some reason, Lin Ran suddenly discovered that he was a little eager to see her as soon as possible.

When Wu Puguang and the new Wannian county magistrate Zhu Chao finished the handover carefully and went to the official department to report, Kong Yingda had a kind smile from the heart on his face.

"Thank you, teacher, for taking the trouble to transfer the student back to Chang'an."

Wu Puguang thanked him sincerely, and even Wang Yan, who was following behind him, paid homage to him.

"Miss Wang's behavior is really frustrating to this old man. Pu Guang is my student, so how can I not care about it? To be honest this time, it is thanks to your student Lin Ran that the teacher was able to transfer you from Wannian County to Chang'an City."

Kong Yingda spoke truthfully.

"Teacher, what does it have to do with my student?" Wu Puguang asked suspiciously.

"It was the quill made by that student of yours, which made the old man feel bad and at the same time transferred you back to Chang'an City smoothly. It can be said to kill two birds with one stone."

Kong Yingda Master Kong responded proudly.

Chapter 82 The days of starvation are gone forever

When Kong Yingda explained in detail how she used a quill pen and the ins and outs of the betting competition with Taishi Li Gang, Wu Puguang and Wang Yan couldn't help but burst out laughing and were filled with emotion.

The ears of rice have begun to turn yellow and become fuller, which indicates that the harvest season of rice is coming soon.

Lin Ran sat on the field, raised his head and squinted at the hot sun above his head.

Picking an ear of rice casually and rubbing it vigorously, soon the milky white rice grains appeared.

Lin Ran threw it into his mouth in one gulp, chewing vigorously.

Soon the mouth will be full of a touch of rice fragrance.

As long as there are a few days of such good sunshine, the rice can be completely harvested.

It must be said that I was extremely lucky to have finally finished harvesting the rice before the locust plague arrived.

Of course, all benefited from my mastery of history and the control of the ripening time of rice. With the blessing of the right time, place and people, I have completed an almost impossible thing.

Right now, there is an extremely important problem that Lin Ran needs to solve!

That is the mature rice grains of these rice ears, even if they are sown and transplanted, there is not much yield.

Then Lin Ran, a forestry expert, was required to carry out hybrid breeding of rice, so Lin Ran deservedly became the pioneer of hybrid rice research.

On the day the rice was harvested, the whole village came. The villagers looked at the heavy ears of rice with nothing but shock on their faces.

"Mr. Lin, how...how can the rice ears be so full that even the rice seedlings are bent over?"

Lin Zhengliang asked excitedly.

"Uncle Zhengliang, this is a variety improved by the younger generation. I didn't expect it to be successful. My nephew is purely a mistake. Next year, my nephew will continue to improve rice seeds. From now on, the hungry days of our Linjiacun will be the same. Gone forever."

Lin Ran looked around at the fiery eyes of the villagers and answered.

The villagers finally understood why Lin Ran paid such a high rent to rent all the land in the village.

Such a high output is his confidence in renting land at a high price.

"Mr. Lin, just now you said that the days of starvation in the Lin family village are gone forever. Could it be that in addition to collecting land rent, we will also have rice to eat?"

Tie Dan's words resounded among the crowd, which also represented the doubts of the villagers.

That's right, now the entire Lin Family Village's land is in Lin Ran's hands, and he pays the villagers high rent every year, so why should he distribute food to the big guys?

In the end, the villagers had to use the rent he gave to buy his rice.

"Brother Tiedan, you are right. Not only will I still settle the rent and wages for everyone, but from today's harvest, each household in Linjia Village will have a bucket of rice every ten days. Everyone come directly to the camp Just pick it up, no matter how high the price of food is sold outside, this rule will never be changed in the future, and if it is changed, it will be increased on the basis of one bucket."

Lin Ran watched the crowd and responded loudly.

All the villagers at the scene were stunned by Lin Ran's words.

This kind of surprise came too suddenly, so calculated that each family can receive nearly four shi of rice from Lin Ran every year, which is equivalent to their entire production in bad times.

Everyone looked at Lin Ran with incredulous eyes, the young man in front of them brought them too many surprises.

Now my children can read and write, and sometimes teach their parents how to write their names when they go home. When happiness is rippling on the faces of every child, the hearts of the adults are also warm and sweet.

"Village chief, why are you so kind to us?"

Aunt Osmanthus in the east of the village mustered up the courage to ask.
