After binding the loving mother system, I was so bad

After telling everyone not to be polite, Gu Nanxi continued to look at the two little kids with a smile, patiently waiting for their answers.

All kinds of looks were cast around them, making the two children suddenly at a loss.

Their father became anxious and kept urging the two children with his eyes and even made mouth shapes.

The little boy ignored his father and stared at Gu Nanxi with burning eyes: "Are you really the general?"

"Yes!"

The little girl eagerly asked, "Does the academy you want to run accept girls?"

Gu Nanxi noticed that many people also looked up, obviously wanting to know the answer to this question.

So, Gu Nanxi raised his voice and said firmly, "Accept it! The academy offers accommodation and day study. There is a large cafeteria and the food is very cheap! Those with excellent grades can even get their tuition waived."

"Wow!"

After hearing what Gu Nanxi said, the people present couldn't help but whisper to each other.

"This is incredible! The scholar in the next village is recruiting students and he wants two taels and three cents of silver as tuition for a year!"

"Alas, it's a pity that Fuming Town is too far away from us."

"Isn't it still possible to stay here?!"

Many families were very tempted.

It is extremely difficult for people at the bottom of society to climb up the social ladder.

Not to mention becoming an official, even when recruiting shop owners, most of the time the position is passed down from father to son, or through relatives!

The only two ways to climb up are to join the army or study!

The little girl ignored her mother pulling at her clothes and said with all her might, "General, I've made up my mind. I want to go to the academy to study!"

Gu Nanxi was very happy and immediately said, "Okay! Just keep studying, I'll cover all your tuition and living expenses!"

The little girl imitated the adults and bowed respectfully to Gu Nanxi: "I am Du Minzhen, a commoner. I would like to thank the general!"

Seeing that the little girl wasted this rare opportunity on studying, her parents looked at her with disapproval.

The little boy was more thoughtful: "General, I want to plant a lot of Eucommia trees for you, and also grow a lot of food, so that all the people at the border will no longer be hungry. Grandfather only taught me to plant Eucommia, but not other things."

Gu Nanxi really felt that she had found a treasure.

She touched the little boy's head and promised, "Okay, I'll find you a master. He's the best planter in the world!"

Mr. Xu has a bit of a weird temper and has never accepted any apprentices.

Gu Nanxi was not sure whether he would accept the little boy, so she could only try her best to persuade Mr. Xu.

The little boy was immediately delighted and knelt down as well: "I am Du Minjie, a commoner. I thank the general!"

After Gu Nanxi followed Guo Xiaoyue into the city, the Du family's parents slapped the two children hard on the buttocks.

"Look at you guys, what kind of wish are you making! Even if you just want some gold, silver or treasure, it's fine!"

Du Minzhen's eyes were filled with tears, but she still raised her head stubbornly and asked, "If there was no general, would you agree to let me go to the academy?"

Du's mother was speechless for a moment: "Little girl, why do you have to study so much? You can't become an official! Isn't it better for you to stay at home and learn how to work as a maid and do housework?"

Du Minzhen was not convinced: "The general is a woman! She can be the governor of Yunzhou, maybe she will recruit female officials in the future! I am still young, I can wait!"

After all, she was her precious daughter who she had cherished since childhood, so Du's mother was reluctant to scold her too much. She just sighed and felt so angry at the girl that her heart ached!

This girl is so wild and has such a big heart, how can she get married in the future? It seems that I still need to prepare more dowry for her.

Du's father, who was standing by, didn't have as good a temper as Du's mother. He slapped Du Mingjie's butt several times with his big bear-paw-like hands.

"You are an unfilial son! You are a good-for-nothing! You could have learned from your sister and said you wanted to go to the academy! With this opportunity, you could have become a minor official in the future. But what did you say? You still want to farm?!"

Father Du was almost crying because of this stupid boy. He slapped his hands again and said, "You are so pissed off! Our ancestors have been working hard for generations. Haven't you had enough of such hard life?!"

Du Mingjie didn't cry, nor did he feel wronged. He just looked at his father quietly and said calmly, "It's because I've had enough of this that I want to learn a skill. I want farmers all over the world to be able to relax a little and fill their stomachs after working hard for a year!"

Father Du's anger subsided a little, but not completely: "You are amazing, you are noble, you are great! Have you ever thought about what will happen to your family?"

Du Minjie's eyes were full of steadiness that didn't match his age. "I've thought about it. It's obvious that the general values ​​the Eucommia tree very much. With the ability of Eucommia, our family will surely get better and better."

"Father, my ambition is not just to plant Eucommia trees, I want to plant them all over the world!"

What Du Minjie didn't say was that he wanted the general to have no worries! If they harvested enough food to feed everyone, the general wouldn't have to work so hard!

He knew how Old Zhang from the neighboring village died: he was worked to death!

He didn't want his most beloved general to die of exhaustion.

The matter is done, and no matter how regretful the Du family's parents are, they cannot change the result. In the face of congratulations from strangers, they still have to force a smile.

Du Minjie and Du Minzhen looked at each other and couldn't help laughing.

Gu Nanxi, who entered the county government office, had no idea about all this.

Gu Nanxi was still reminding Guo Xiaoyue: "Those two little kids are great. If you have time, please help take care of them and don't let others bully them. These kids are the future of our Yunzhou!"

Guo Xiaoyue nodded in agreement.

Perhaps because Guo Xiaoyue was too tall, the county government office in Yuyi Town was wider than that in other towns.

After Gu Nanxi sat down at the top, others took their seats one after another.

Dozens of pairs of eyes were staring at Gu Nanxi eagerly. The looks directed at so many bearded men seemed a little funny and a little sad.

Gu Nanxi didn't keep them in suspense: "The future of Yuyi Town and Rouxuan Town lies in the Eucommia tree!"

Guo Xiaoyue was a little disappointed: "As a medicinal material, Eucommia ulmoides has a reasonable price, but it takes a lot of time to grow. It takes at least ten years. You have to cut down a Eucommia ulmoides plant to get that much."

Gu Nanxi: "Wang Ziting knows a way to peel the bark of a tree without killing it. What's more, what we want to use is not its bark, but its leaves and seeds."

Guo Xiaoyue had apparently also soaked Eucommia leaves in water: "Do you want the filamentous substance inside? That thing is useless."

Gu Nanxi's eyes sparkled: "Well, you have to go find Pu Chang and the others."

Gu Nanxi silently apologized to Pu Chang in her heart. Those who are capable should do more work. For the development of Yunzhou and the entire human society, he had to work hard!
