Take Taobao to ancient times

After getting really busy, Lu Siyu realized that time can pass quickly.

However, during the Spring Festival this year, Zhuang Jinhan still did not come back.

The magistrate and the magistrate were found to be collaborating with the enemy and treason. This matter is very serious.Even the emperor, who seemed to be very casual, couldn't continue to turn a blind eye. He immediately told Zhuang Jinhan to keep a close watch on him, and he was bound to catch all the traitors.

In fact, if Zhuang Jinhan was not the emperor's friend, and the magistrate was found to be collaborating with the enemy and treason, as the magistrate, Zhuang Jinhan would also be jointly and severally responsible for lax supervision.

One year, two years, three years, Zhuang Jinhan also came back once during this period, but he just came and went in a hurry, and didn't stay in the capital much.

Long-distance love is a very troublesome thing whether it is in modern times or ancient times. Even in modern times with convenient transportation, because of the long-term separation between the two places, the feelings between lovers will gradually become indifferent due to such a sense of distance, and eventually they will break up. end.

However, in this ancient time when the transportation was not convenient enough, the distance between Lu Siyu and Zhuang Jinhan widened again, and the daily communication depended on letters, and in many cases, there was even a huge gap in the communication between the two parties due to time issues.

For example, Lu Siyu sent a letter saying that it was very hot in the capital. By the time he got the letter from Zhuang Jinhan, the weather had turned cold. Looking at the words in the letter telling him to be careful not to suffer from heat stroke, he felt a bit dumbfounded.

If it is an ordinary person, they might feel that the distance between the two is too far away, which makes the relationship gradually dissipate, but the two don't think there is anything wrong with their way of getting along.

Many times, when they write a letter, they will write two letters, one is a reply to the previous letter, and the other is about the trivial things that happened on their side.

Four years, whether it is long or short, during these four years, Lu Siyu understood from the very beginning that he could handle business affairs with ease, and took over from Song Jue. Lots of business.

During this period, the Ministry of War finally developed the artillery, and sent the artillery to the border as soon as possible. Since then, the news from the border can be said to be undefeated, and the emperor's rewards have been sent to the border again and again.

In the past four years, the output of corn, soybeans, and sweet potatoes has also been rising, because the common people have the capital to fill their stomachs, and the country's population has also been growing.

In addition, the output of staple foods such as rice and wheat has not decreased because the common people focused their attention on those high-yielding crops, because there were only a few staple foods that the common people could grow before. Whether it is high or not, it will be planted in one brain.

But since the emergence of three high-yield crops, the common people have also begun to think about how to grow rice and wheat with higher yields in the fields. In terms of agriculture, no one is more professional than the common people themselves, so after trying to find a way, The production of these formerly major staple foods increased slightly.

Of course, after four years of planting, cotton production has also skyrocketed.

Lu Siyu also came up with the textile machine by "chance".

Since then, cotton cloth has become popular, and because of the large amount of cotton planted, the price of cotton cloth is also acceptable to ordinary people.

In addition, the prices of sugar, salt, and oil have also dropped, not to mention sugar. After the appearance of sugar beet, sugar is no longer a rare commodity. As for oil and salt, under the deliberate promotion of the court, plus various With the advent of vegetable oil, these two things have also begun to drop in price.

Some of these were "thought of" by Lu Siyu, and some were summed up by ordinary people from their own life experience.

In just four years, the people's life can be called a peaceful country, and they no longer have to worry about not having enough food and clothing, which directly promotes the development of the country's commerce.

Lu Siyu felt deeply about this.

When he first took over Song Jue's business four years ago, he still felt it was difficult, but after four years, it was obviously much easier for him to promote some new things than before.

Song Jue was an imperial merchant, and Lu Siyu took over the affairs in Song Jue's hands, so a large part of the money they earned would go to the treasury, especially after the country's business began to develop rapidly, the gold and silver in the treasury also became more and more filling.

Fortunately, the emperor is not a person who seeks pleasure, he almost put most of the gold and silver into road construction.

Once the road is repaired and the transportation is convenient, it will also drive the development of commerce.

When ordinary businessmen grow their businesses, some of their profits will go to the national treasury in the form of taxes.

During this period, bicycles reappeared in the public's field of vision, but this time the bicycles were not aimed at these dignitaries in the capital, but at the whole country. Although the price is still not low, most families can buy them with a little savings. Affordable, using bicycles as a dowry or bride price has also become popular today.

As the saying goes, the three major items in the 70s were watches, bicycles, and sewing machines. Nowadays, bicycles have become a must-have item, and the other items are not far behind.

Thinking of this, Lu Siyu felt a sense of accomplishment in his heart.

However, in the 70s, 80s, and 90s in Lu Siyu's memory, there was a huge change almost every ten years, but in this era, the time for this change will inevitably be lengthened.

The rapid development of modern China is also because China at that time was also acting on the shoulders of giants, so it was able to develop so rapidly and undergo changes every ten years, but this era is different.

To put it bluntly, it is because of the arrival of Lu Siyu in this era that there is a completely different development in the Great Leap Forward. Compared with other countries in the world, they are at the forefront of the era, and they are the real pioneers of the era , so every next step has to be explored step by step by themselves, and the speed of development is naturally not as good as that era in Lu Siyu's memory.

However, Lu Siyu no longer intends to overthrow the seedlings. The development of the times is inherently regular. He directly produces products that cross the age, which is far inferior to letting people of this era develop them themselves. If the knowledge reserves of ordinary people cannot keep up, It will only lead to the rapid demise of the era.

So in this year, Lu Siyu took out something they had developed for a long time.

pencil.

And he directly proposed to the emperor that he hoped to popularize education for all.

In the past few years, because Lu Siyu has been doing things for Song Jue, which is equivalent to doing things for the emperor, his relationship with the emperor has also become closer. This time, he proposed this proposal directly to the emperor.

This year also happens to be the first batch of school-age children whose population is exploding. The common people have spare money in their hands. In addition, common people have admired educated people since ancient times. It is also the most appropriate time to promote quality education for all. opportunity.

Speaking of education for all, Lu Siyu's suggestion is naturally to directly copy the modern teaching process, but because of the particularity of this era, he only proposed nine years of teaching, and the rest can be considered according to the students' own ideas. go down.

In textbooks, besides the most basic Chinese and mathematics, there is science. If the family conditions are good, you can also add multiple subjects such as riding and archery, calligraphy, and Chinese painting.

Over the years, the emperor has watched the country become stronger and stronger. It is impossible not to be excited, but he still has too few capable people, so he was immediately moved after hearing Lu Siyu's words. His current goal is not just Let the common people have enough food and clothing, but to create an unprecedented prosperity.

It was because Lu Siyu grasped the emperor's thoughts that he put forward his ideas again and again. An ambitious emperor is better than a mediocre emperor. At least the former will try his best to change the world.

Lu Siyu is sure of the development of the times, will not make excessive demands, and will not let the development of the times run amok, this is his greatest advantage.

The two hit it off immediately, and the first ones to be trained were all the scholars from all over the country. These people would be the first batch of teachers after the formal teaching.

Scholars themselves have a foundation, but they are not strong enough, and some are even pedantic, and they only know what to do. Therefore, the teachers who teach this batch of scholars are those who have been in contact with foreign education for several years.

Foreign language education, pinyin education, foreign culture, and domestic talents, when these two groups come together, there will inevitably be conflicts of ideas. This is also Lu Siyu's idea. There will be changes.

The two parties do not say who is better and who is not, but because of the difference in education, there will be various disputes, but Lu Siyu believes that they will find a solution in the end, after all, these two groups of people are not stupid.

The teaching time that Lu Siyu set for them was half a year. During this half year, the two groups of people really had several major disputes, and they almost developed into fights, but in the end they turned the fighting into friendship. After half a year, the teaching ended, and the two sides still exchanged ideas There were disputes, but fortunately the first batch of teachers had successfully graduated.

Education for All wants to see the final effect not overnight, nor can it be seen in one, two or three years. This is a long-term test, and it may take more than ten years or even decades to show the effect.

And these matters were naturally handed over to the Ministry of Rites.

In the past few years, Lu Siyu has found a lot of work for Liubu, even the people who lead Liubu know him, but because Lu Siyu has the emperor's backing behind him, the people in Liubu dare not do anything to him.

Fortunately, the things that Lu Siyu found for Liu Bu were good things that were visible to the naked eye after all, so the people in Liu Bu complained, but they didn't say much.

"Xiao Yu, the emperor means that Jin Han will return to Beijing soon."

"En." Lu Siyu nodded.

"Why did you react so calmly? Are you unhappy that Jin Han is back in Beijing?" Song Jue asked, the two of them had been separated for four years, and the person involved didn't care, but he, the uncle, couldn't help but think about it.

"Uncle——" Lu Siyu called out helplessly, "Brother Zhuang is going back to Beijing, the emperor will naturally tell Brother Zhuang in advance and ask him to take over the affairs of the border, so Brother Zhuang wrote to me about this matter early in the morning .”

"So I'm meddling?" Song Jue asked back, shaking his head helplessly, "Oh, I don't even know what you know, I really don't take my uncle seriously..."

"Uncle, I just found out about this news just now." Lu Siyu quickly explained.

"Okay, I'm joking with you, I'm relieved to know that your relationship is stable, but there is one thing," Song Jue patted Lu Siyu's shoulder, "You and Jinhan are not young, once he returns to Beijing, sister Brother-in-law will definitely be anxious, when the time comes..."

"Thank you, uncle. We have already discussed this matter. When Brother Zhuang comes back, we will discuss it with my uncle and aunt together, and hope to get the consent of my uncle and aunt." Lu Siyu said earnestly, somewhat uneasy in his heart. She has always been very kind to him, but she is afraid that the second elder will be unhappy because of his affair with Zhuang Jinhan and hurt her body.

"Just think it over. Jin Han should really let Jinhan talk about this matter. He almost never returned to Beijing before. Even if he did, it was for business. It's really not suitable to talk about the things between the two of you." Song Jue He said that he also hopes that the relationship between the two will go smoothly, but he can't be the master of Zhuang's father and Zhuang's mother.

"Thank you, uncle." Lu Siyu said seriously, thanking Song Jue sincerely.
