God don't even try to stop me from doing infrastructure!

Yunze took out a lot of food and medicine.

Oh, don't get me wrong, it's not for relief of disaster victims in other countries, but for the army, lest they have nothing to eat along the way or get sick and injured for some reason.There is even a part of the poison that can be applied to the weapon, and if injured by this weapon, the wound will fester and be difficult to heal.

Taixi has just escaped from hunger, and farmers in the south have only grown corn for two years, and they have just tasted the feeling of not being hungry.In this case, even if Yunze is a true holy father, he will not try to extract food from the people of Taixi and give it to people from other countries. Nothing to do with him.

If there is spare energy and no harm to oneself, he will help.But it is obvious that these refugees are specially here to harm the Taixi people, otherwise why don't they rob the nobles of their own country?Yunze didn't believe that those noble families had no surplus food.

If they rob the nobles of their own country, can Yunze respect them as men and rob the people of neighboring countries?Ah.Since they made this decision by themselves, they will bear all the consequences afterwards.

"When a friend comes, he has good wine, and when an enemy comes, he has a sword." This has been the truth since ancient times.

However, Yunze also reminded the king that if many people die, he must remember to set up the firewood and burn it, otherwise there will be plague.It's better to simply repair a high-temperature incinerator, anyway, it will take a long time.

This time, it was Prince Sham and Princess Sharjah who passed by, and it was Menes who went to arrange work at the temple.

Princess Sharjah volunteered to join the battle. She had consulted with the king. If the citizens of Red Valley among the refugees were willing to surrender, they would be allowed to stay and dig artificial lakes and repair dams, and their wages would be settled in grain.

The wages of hiring refugees are more cost-effective than hiring civilians, and there are many wastelands in Taixi. Now corn can be planted on these wastelands, and potatoes are more crops. If these people really return to Taixi, it is not unacceptable.

Princess Sharjah was very apprehensive at first.She is Taixi's princess, everything depends on Taixi's needs, but under this premise, she also wants to take care of the residents of Honggu.Honggu is also one of the victims of the locust plague, and Honggu is a small country. Unlike Taixi, which is affected by a local area at most, Honggu is affected nationwide, so the life of the people in Honggu will probably be very difficult this year.

Within her ability, Princess Sharjah wanted to find a way out for the people of her home country.

His Majesty the King also gave the future first princess a face. Refugees from other countries do not have such preferential treatment. Those who enter the border of Taixi will die.

Although they are facing refugees with farm tools, those who are going will not underestimate them because of this.Prince Sham and others began to make preparations, the first being the potion.

Medicine is a must, and the more the better.

Yunze didn't use his skills to make those magical medicines for a long time, because the ingredients of many medicines were lacking, and some of them were even used up.But this time he took out a lot, and the priests under him also made a lot of finished healing potions.The military doctor who was going to accompany the army went to Yunze to receive emergency training - about how to clean the wound, what medicine to use, what to do for inflammation, and so on.

He pulled Menis, and while explaining to the military doctor, he asked Menis to listen and learn.

This time, Menis accompanied the side of the temple on behalf of the expedition.But he will not go directly to the battlefield, his task is to arrange the rear work.So the danger he has to face is smaller than that of Prince Sham and others.

But small, does not mean no.

Even though Yunze gave him enough protective tools, he was still worried.The way Yunze worries is: learn these first aid methods, and if you get injured, you can save yourself quickly.

Stimulated by the war, Yunze produced convenience food, and Huozhezi, a treasure suitable for carrying around and attacking at night.

He made it out of crumpled papyrus, reed wadding, and pine resin, wrapped it tightly, then lit it and stuffed it into a long tube.At this time, the lid is closed, and the fuel inside is in a state of half-burning and half-extinguishing. When it is in use, it is opened, blowing air, bringing oxygen for combustion, and the fire pocket lights up again.

All the materials for making fire zhezi are ready-made, but the wooden cylinder took a little time.Yunze made dozens of fire pockets in a few days, stuffed two for Menis, and gave him a pendant-shaped binoculars.

"Be sure to come back safely." Before leaving, Yunze stretched out his arms to hug him, and closed his cloak, "I'll be waiting for your good news in Curry."

"Don't worry, Your Highness, I will protect myself." Menis handed a ring to Yunze, "This is my imprint ring, if you can't find me for anything, you can deal with it directly."

The rings these days are not rings yet, the badge on it is to be printed on the clay tablet as a sign, which is similar to a seal.This one is the work seal of Menes' temple successor, which is very important, and he never leaves.

Menis left it to Yunze, as if he was by his side.

"My lord, we should go." The head guard came over to remind them.

Menis got on his horse and walked into the team.

Prince Sham and Princess Sharjah at the front waved their hands to the crowd, behind them was a mighty army and military resources.There is feed for horses (made of ryegrass, corn stalks, sugar beet pulp, etc.), tent cloth made of oilcloth, pots, medicines, and more food for soldiers.

According to the recipe provided by Yunze, they used oatmeal to make easy-to-cook oatmeal, and fried cooked flour with wheat flour.In addition, there are many easy-to-preserve lemons, a piece of dry cheese, a string of sausages, dried shrimp, dried vegetables... If there is no time to eat, they can directly boil hot water, pour it into the bowl, and the oatmeal inside It can be eaten with batter, but it tastes dry, and you can add a little salt, sausage slices and the like.

The taste of this kind of military ration is very ordinary, not delicious.But in the past, soldiers had no time to eat during wars. They could only chew raw wheat grains and drink dirty water. Now that the conditions are so good, no one will dislike them.

The army soon set off.

The people in Curry talked a lot: "Where is there going to be a war again? Why are you fighting?"

Some businessmen who came to Curry told the truth: "It must be because of the locust plague in the southern countries."

So they knew that there were locust plagues in some countries in the south this year, and the food harvests were cut off, so they ran to Taixi, and the army set out for this.

The Curry people cursed with righteous indignation: "What does their disaster have to do with us? Why did they come to rob us of food? Did we also rob them of food when we were hungry? Robbers! They are all robbers!"

In fact, when the domestic grain production has been decreasing all the way, His Majesty the King has thought about obtaining grain from other countries through war... Cough cough, let's not talk about this for now.

Anyway, food is very expensive these days. People in Taixi have not enjoyed two years of full food, and someone is trying to remove their food?Is it tolerable, which is unbearable?

Immediately, there was an upsurge in Curry to join the army. One was to protect their homeland, and the other was to have a better future.For illiterate Taixi people, joining the army is the easiest way to change their class, because Taixi soldiers are treated well and will be allocated fields.

Yunze didn't know about the excitement of the common people in Curry, although they didn't really get together much on weekdays, after all they each had their own business, but suddenly Menis went to the battlefield, Yunze felt a little melancholy.

In fact, when he left Curry, he didn't miss him very much, or was very reluctant to bear him.But when I got home, when I got up early and didn't tie my braids well, I would miss him.When I saw the empty seats beside me when I was eating, I would miss him.When I was walking, I saw a plum blossom with one or two flower buds, but I still missed him when I was not around.

The time seems to have increased, Yunze decided to find something for himself to do, taking advantage of the winter when there is nothing to do, first find out the address of the school.

At the beginning, Yunze planned to build the house by himself, but after inquiring, even if the house is made of mud bricks, the mud bricks had to be dug out, mixed with straw and grass roots in a certain proportion, beaten and pressed, and dried before they could be used. Make a mud brick house.

Building a stone house is too expensive to afford.Take it from His Majesty the King?Alas, I can't catch a sheep to pluck its wool, it will be bald.

So, in the end he chose to buy ready-made.

The inner city of Curry is full of big houses, where dignitaries and nobles live, and the closer they are to the palace, the bigger they are.A small number of these houses are uninhabited, similar to the other houses of the princes, and they have several other houses.There are also old houses of people who have gone out to be officials.

Coincidentally, one of them was the house of the mayor of Yancheng.Now the city officials are gone, and the house is also owned by the public, and no one lives in it.Yunze went around for a while. It is not very big on the line between the inner city and the outer city, with more than 100 mu of land, but it is close to Cherry Tree Avenue, so it is convenient for students to come to class.

Inside are all repaired one-story buildings, built of mud bricks and wood, with many rooms and complete functions.The main rooms at the front can be used as classrooms, partitioned off at the back as dormitories for future residential students.

He thought this house was very suitable, so he bought it from the king.

The house cannot be used directly after buying it, because no one has taken care of it for more than half a year, and the inside is overgrown with weeds and looks very dilapidated.After the mayor resigned, all the servants he stayed here were also confiscated. The house is now occupied by snakes, insects, rats and ants. In addition, it is winter, and Yunze somehow feels like visiting a haunted house.

The house needs to be cleaned inside and out, repaired and remodeled.The main thing is that the male and female dormitories have to be separated, and the toilets and bathrooms on both sides have to be repaired.

Some old furniture is used if it can be used, and the unusable ones are chopped and burned.The desks and beds have to be made new, and a new set of bedding has to be prepared.Yunze customized a batch of bunk beds with desks and wardrobes on the top.This bed is very practical and does not take up much space.

But the most surprising thing here is, of course, the library.

How precious are libraries these days?Even if it is inside the temple or the royal family, it is just a room full of books.Forty or fifty square meters in size, there are rows of shelves covered with rolls of parchment, which are very precious.

Yunze has also set up a library here, one shelf is dedicated to the children’s stories he wrote and transcribed, one shelf is for the laws of various countries (from Menis’ private collection), and the other shelf is for various myths and legends about the origin of species from the temple (gifted by the temple) , one shelf is the medical reference books copied by Yunze and some non-confidential formulas and first aid measures.

Very few, just a few shelves, but more expensive than this house and all the later investment!

Expensive is expensive in materials and labor.

Yunze has made roller printing, but he has no paper.For this reason, he has gone to the paper mill several times, earnestly telling the workers not to indulge in the glory of the past (toilet paper), and to have a longer-term goal, and must produce paper suitable for printing into books.

They have now discovered a new step that helps shape the paper.The previous procedure was that the trunk of a certain tree was cut into pieces, soaked for a period of time, polished into pulp, and then washed with lime water to make paper.

But now they soak the branches for a longer period of time. When adding lime water, it is not just soaking, but also boiling. After that, the paper is easier to shape and not brittle.

Yunze asked them to continue to improve. If writing and printing paper can be produced, every worker in the paper factory will be given a sack of wheat, and the foreman will have sugar, salt, soy sauce, etc.If paper is made, it will be of great use to the popularization of his basic education.

The school he is running now is called a technical school, but he has to learn cultural lessons every day.If there are more outstanding ones, Yunze is going to keep them for his own use.He still lacks a lot of literate manpower here.

In fact, those other students who can learn will be future workers of Yunze.He does charity and business. He is responsible for nurturing these children to become useful. These children will work for him in the future, and the tuition and miscellaneous fees will be gradually deducted from the future salary.

The first batch of students were the children of Yunze's subordinates. If they were slaves, they were required to participate. If they were free people, they decided on their own (basically they all agreed).In addition, there are the children of Menis's subordinates and the younger monks of the Sun Temple.

"There are more than 700 people...the number seems to be a bit too much. Shouldn't there be an entrance examination to screen out a group?" Yun Ze's finger rubbed the ring on his finger that was too big and could only be wrapped with a red string, and he fell into deep thought. .

Resources are limited, so admission should be based on merit.Moreover, some places should also be provided for children of nearby civilian families.

These children have different levels, what should be tested?
