Li Xin asked again: "Uncle Zheng, has the official road to the southeast been built?"

Old man Zheng replied: "My lord, it has been repaired for more than a month. zhetian."

Li Xin nodded and said: "Okay, Commander Liu will send a battalion of soldiers to go with you tomorrow to the third city we are going to build on Xinghan Island. Everyone except Uncle Liu will also go with you."

Everyone clasped their fists and said, "Yes, Lord."

Li Xin said: "Okay, let's all go back. We will meet at the southeast gate of the city tomorrow morning."

Early the next morning, Li Xin, Liang Hongyu and sister Li Jing met everyone at the southeast gate and then walked southeast along the official road. In order to make time, everyone went in a carriage.

Li Jing was sitting in the carriage while admiring the scenery along the way. Li Jing sighed: "The road is really smooth, and I don't feel any bumps even when sitting in the carriage."

Li Xin said proudly: "Of course, it doesn't matter who built this road."

Li Jing rolled her eyes at Li Xin and said, "Yes, yes, you deserve the most credit."

Liang Hongyu looked at the crops along the way and said: "Little sister, your brother's contribution is great. Look at these crops, and then look at the farmers. Before they came to Xinghan Island, they were still refugees without land. They could not even eat a full meal. It's a problem, but now we have land to farm, this is your brother's greatest merit."

Li Jing pouted and said, "Sister Hongyu, why are you talking to my brother?"

Liang Hongyu smiled and said, "No, sister is just telling the truth."

Li Xin looked at the farmers and sighed: "They are all lucky. The number of people lost in the peasant riots in the southeast must be at least millions. These are all losses for us Han people. My biggest dream is to be able to survive in my lifetime." Let all Han people live a good life in peace and contentment and no longer be harassed by foreigners."

Liang Hongyu held Li Xin's hand and said, "The Nu family believes that the officials will realize this dream."

Li Xin nodded and said, "I will try my best."

It was not until noon that everyone arrived at the seaside, which was more than kilometers southeast of Xinghan City. Li Xin took everyone to look around and said, "Manager Zhai is building our third city on Xinghan Island here. It’s called Yilan City, and it’s built to be as big as Jilong City. There are plains nearby, which is very suitable for growing crops. It will definitely become one of the main food producing areas of Xinghan Island in the future.”

Manager Zhai replied: "Yes, my lord, I understand."

Li Xin continued: "Director Zhai, a bridge should be built at the west gate and north gate of Xinghan City to lead to the other side of the river. The bridge deck should be wider and four carriages should be able to walk down at the same time; and two bridges should be built in Jilong City. Taixue has the same standard as the Taixue that flourished in Seoul. One of the two Taixue is called Normal College, which specializes in cultivating talents who can teach and educate people, that is, teachers. However, from now on, we will collectively refer to teachers as "teachers". There is also another Taixue. It’s called the Naval Academy, and it’s specifically used to train talents for the Navy.”

Manager Zhai clasped his fists and said, "Yes, my lord, I have the order."

Li Xin then said to Zhao Fei: "Zhao Fei, for these two construction tasks, Manager Zhai, you have to ensure the supply of building materials. If the output is not enough, you can consider expanding the workshop or adding more manpower."

Zhao Fei cupped his fists and said, "Yes, lord, I will ensure the supply of various building materials if I go down."

Li Xin then said to Liu Yi: "When the third new city is built, there will definitely be refugees arriving. Liu Yi, you know what to do, so there is no need to say anything about it."

Liu Yi replied: "Yes, my lord, I know what to do."

Li Xin turned to Old Man Zheng and said, "Uncle Zheng, the next step for your road construction team is to start from Yilan City and build a road along the seaside to Jilong City to connect the two places. Build guardrails to prevent the carriage from accidentally falling into the sea when driving."

Old Man Zheng cupped his fists and said, "Yes, Master, I understand."

Li Xin said: "Okay, let's all go back."

After Li Xin left behind a battalion of soldiers he brought, he led everyone back to Seoul.

After Liu Yi returned, he called Xu Wenchang and Zhang Yi over. Liu Yi said, "You two, today I received some good news from my lord that can be said to be related to you."

Xu Wenchang asked: "Oh, what good news did Brother Liu get from the Lord?"

Liu Yi replied: "Today, I and my lord went to the place where the third city to be built on Xinghan Island is located."

Zhang Yi said: "My lord wants to build the third city somewhere?"

Liu Yi continued to answer: "The Lord named the third city Yilan City. It is a hundred miles southeast of Xinghan City. There is an official road leading directly to it along the southeast gate."

Xu Wenchang said thoughtfully: "Yilan City, the name is quite nice, but what does Yilan City have to do with the two of us?"

Liu Yi said: "Yilan City has nothing to do with Brother Zhang, but it has a lot to do with you, Brother Xu."

Xu Wenchang asked: "Oh, Brother Liu, what do you mean by this?"

Liu Yi replied: "Yilan City is located in a plain area, surrounded by plains. My lord said that it will become one of the main food producing areas of Xinghan Island in the future. Do you think this has anything to do with you, who is dedicated to studying agriculture? "

Xu Wenchang stood up excitedly and said, "Brother Liu, you really mean what you said."

Liu Yi nodded and said: "Seriously."

Xu Wenchang waved his fist and said: "Great, since I came into contact with the book Agricultural Science, I have been studying the cultivation of high-yielding rice seeds for more than a year. I have collected a lot of rice seeds that grow well and put them together. Cultivation, according to the climate of Xinghan Island, rice grown here can achieve three crops a year. I feel that I have achieved some success in cultivating rice seeds for more than a year, but I am suffering from the lack of a large experimental field for my trial planting. This Yilan The construction of the city just solved my problem, so I immediately went to my lord to apply for a field in Yilan to be used as a test field."

Liu Yi stopped Xu Wenchang, who was about to leave, and said, "Brother Xu, why are you so anxious? It's already night. It's time for you to rest, sir. Let's go tomorrow."

Xu Wenchang patted his head and said: "Brother Liu is right. I am a little too excited now and have forgotten that it is already dark. Then I will go find the master to claim the land tomorrow."

Zhang Yi asked: "Brother Liu, since Yilan City has nothing to do with so-and-so, what is the good news about so-and-so?"

Liu Yi said: "My lord said today that he will build two more imperial colleges in Jilong City. One of them is called Normal College, which is specially used to train teachers. Now it should be called teachers. You said that it is related to you who studies education. It doesn’t matter.”

Zhang Yi said excitedly: "That's great. Since the beginning of Xinghancheng Primary School, I have been working as a teacher in elementary school. I observed the children and the teachers with me. I found that not everyone is suitable to be a teacher. Children have different personalities. Teachers should be careful and patient. They should communicate more with children and guide them on the right path. Teachers should not only impart knowledge to children, but also cultivate good behavior in children. Character, so it’s not easy to be a teacher, teachers also need to be cultivated.”
