Hand over the jade seal first [Infrastructure]

Xiao Zirong's first reaction after hearing this: "Are you a Mohist child?"

Zhai Xi nodded nervously, Xiao Zirong thought for a while and said in confusion, "Your surname is not Mo either."

After hearing this, Zhai Wei, the youngest, couldn't help laughing and said, "Not all Mohist children are surnamed Mo. The giant said that they should love both. As long as they agree with the Mohist thought, anyone who is interested in mechanics can become a Mohist boy."

Xiao Zirong frowned, but it was true, he was also limited, thinking that this era values ​​powerful families, but the Mohist family is an ancient inheritance, so it must be different from those aristocratic families.

"Ah Wei!" Zhai Xi glanced at Zhai Wei with some disapproval. Zhai Wei stuck out her tongue in embarrassment. Zhai Xi turned her head and said helplessly: "We are indeed the direct line of the Mo family. As for not being named Mo... the city owner should Know Mozi's name."

Xiao Zirong had a thought, Mozi's name is Zhai, and the pronunciation is Tongdi, and that character is polyphonic, and the surname is Tongzhai.

He looked at Zhai Xi curiously and asked, "You guys use Mozi's name as your surname? Why?"

Zhai Xi was a little puzzled and said: "It seems that the ancestors offended someone, and we have no choice but to hide their names. We don't know much about this. It happened several generations ago, and our sisters were taken captive to the bandit village for many years."

Xiao Zirong asked: "Since this is the case, you should have family members. Why didn't you choose to go home?"

If we only look at Mohist thought, as long as the descendants of Mohist disciples do not misinterpret Mohist thought, then most of Mohist disciples should be tolerant and gentle.

Zhai Xi's three sisters were really powerless to resist what happened to them, and their family members should not want them to die because of this incident or let them die in order to preserve the name of chastity.

In fact, the requirements for chastity in this era are not so perverted, at least much better than those in the Ming Dynasty.

Zhai Xi's face was filled with sadness: "Back then when the robbers directly attacked my father and mother, only our three sisters survived. As for the other clansmen... they also disappeared without a trace."

Xiao Zirong paused before saying, "I'm sorry."

Zhai Xi shook his head, and just said: "I learned my craft from my father back then, but it was only superficial. The city lord wrote it in great detail, and we just got used to the original method."

Xiao Zirong stood up and said: "There is no need to be so euphemistic. I know that is the stupidest method. It is for people who have never done it before, not for you. What method do you want to use?" Use whatever method you want to do, and come to me when Qu Yuanli is done, I have something for you to do."

Zhai Xi's eyes lit up, he nodded vigorously and said, "Don't worry, the city lord, we will definitely finish it as soon as possible."

Xiao Zirong smiled: "Don't push yourself too hard. If you are tired, you will not be beautiful. Don't worry too much."

That's what I said, but the three sisters of the Zhai family accelerated their movements excitedly.

People go to high places and water flows to low places. No matter how high you are in this station, you can't go anywhere, but the status of the people around the city lord is already recognized by everyone.

At this time, Zhai Xi still didn't know that what Xiao Zirong said she needed to do was to study.

You must know that there are many things in Xiao Zirong's mind that can improve their lives.

It's not even just them. If it is promoted, it can improve the lives of many ordinary people.

However, Xiao Zirong didn't have the energy to study those things. He had too many things to do, and most of them were overall planning.

So the best thing is to have all kinds of talents under him. He will arrange the things to be done little by little, and then order them down, so that everyone can work together for a better life. This is the healthiest way of development.

If Xiao Zirong had to do everything himself, think about it, he had been working on a Quyuanli for nearly half a month, and everything would have been delayed.

However, although the three sisters of the Zhai family are not too young and have some things in their hands, Xiao Zirong guessed that the three sisters of the Zhai family may not have reached the level he wanted.

This became even more certain after he took a look at the personal records of the three sisters of the Zhai family. The three sisters had been taken captive to the village for nearly ten years.

Ten years ago, Zhai Xi was under twenty, her two younger sisters were younger, and the youngest was only five years old.

So she should have taught everything her younger sister knew, but how much could Zhai Xi learn back then?

Seeing that she was unknown in the bandit village before, she was not at the level where she could rely on her skills to protect her sisters.

In this case, what the three sisters of the Zhai family need is systematic study.

From the simplest mathematics to the introduction to physics.

Xiao Zirong directly took the paper and searched in his mind for the first year of physics and mathematics from elementary school to the first year of junior high school, and then began to write textbooks while everyone was busy making quyuanli.

The most difficult point of these two textbooks is actually the conversion of words and symbols. These days there are no Arabic numerals, and there are no symbols for addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. Xiao Zirong wanted to translate it bit by bit according to the nine chapters of arithmetic at first.

However, he became irritable before finishing the mathematics textbook for the first grade of elementary school, and finally decided to let the three sisters of the Zhai family learn this kind of symbol. Why not use something simple and convenient?

Anyway, he is the authority here, and no one should ask him where these symbols come from. If everyone is really curious, he can imitate the story of the Nine Heavens Profound Girl teaching the Yellow Emperor and make up a fairy tale.

Xiao Zirong wrote very quickly after thinking about it, and the numbers also used the abbreviated numbers of later generations, otherwise those Chinese characters with symbols seemed strange.

After Xiao Zirong finally finished copying all the textbooks, Qu Yuanli basically finished them too.

Liu Cainiang and Ayin Aman were the first batch of people who replaced Quyuanli, while the first Quyuanli was reserved for Xiao Zirong himself.

Of course, Xiao Zirong would not farm the land. He had directly kept two young ladies bought from Liangxiang County to help him farm the land.

Xiao Zirong's land is the best land, so he planned to grow rice. In fact, the better land they chose was quite suitable for growing rice, but when Xiao Zirong went out of the customs and took a look at his own land, he found that there were many of them. The land has been planted with something.

Some were green vegetables, and some had tender seedlings, but Xiao Zirong didn't know what those seedlings were.

Xiao Zirong turned around curiously and asked the two girls assigned to him: "What are these?"

The faces of the two young ladies blushed nervously, and one of the young ladies named Zuo Ling said, "This... this is a yellow rice seedling."

Yellow rice?

Xiao Zirong froze for a moment, then remembered that in ancient times, yellow rice seemed to be the main food, and rice did not rise because it required a lot of water and was not suitable for planting in the north.

After all, the land of Jianghuai has not completely replaced the Central Plains as the granary of the world these days.

He took a look and found that many kinds of yellow rice land were not so fertile. Xiao Zirong deeply felt that he didn't need to take care of many things, and these little ladies would find the most suitable method by themselves.

After seeing the yellow rice, he also saw someone planting ramie, but there were very few ramie planters. Xiao Zirong reckoned that even if he harvested it, it would not be enough to spin much linen.

After all, no one should have to wear good clothes when there is a possible shortage of food.

After going around in a circle, he suddenly turned his head and asked the two young ladies following him, "Can we set aside some of our land to grow soybeans?"

Zuo Ling was stunned and looked at Fan Yue who was next to her. Fan Yue pinched the corner of her clothes and whispered, "Yes, yes, how much do you want to plant? If you want to plant, you must quickly replant. The current weather is suitable for soybeans." Germinate and grow, and although it will sprout after a while, I am afraid that it will not be able to bear fruit in winter."

Xiao Zirong glanced at Fan Yue, Fan Yue was a little nervous, she used a different address from others, in order to show the difference between closeness and closeness.

It is normal for others to call Xiao Zirong the city lord as a citizen, but she and Zuo Ling were put next to the city lord after they were bought back, and they naturally considered themselves slaves of the city lord's family.

Even if there are rumors that these bought female slaves will be given household registration to good people if they behave well and are trustworthy, it is better to be the female slaves of the city lord now.

What's more, even if you really give good people household registration, it may not be better than living with the city lord.

At that time, they need to worry about food, clothing, housing and transportation, and pay taxes, so why not follow the city lord!

Xiao Zirong didn't care too much, his attention was all on planting soybeans.

Originally, he had already started to search in his brain for the precautions and suitable temperature for planting soybeans, but he didn't expect Fan Yue to know something about this, so he gave up the search directly.

The knowledge obtained from the search is of course more advanced, but because it is too advanced, sometimes it is not suitable for this era.

Those soybean planting techniques are all suitable for later generations of soybeans. After thousands of years, the genes and habits of soybeans may have changed.

As for things like searching documents and materials belonging to this era to find planting methods... Since there is someone around him who knows how to plant, why bother to look for it?

Xiao Zirong thought for a while and said, "You don't need to plant too much, maybe two acres of soybeans."

He grows soybeans not for eating, or for eating, but more for something else—bean products.

Even if he doesn't check and compare, he knows that every person in this station is counted as one, and his protein intake is not enough, including him.

Chickens and ducks are still young, even if they are not small, at the current rate of pure natural feeding, these chickens and ducks cannot supply enough meat and eggs in a short period of time, so the only way to get enough protein is from soy products.

But health is sometimes something that can only be pursued after filling the stomach, so Xiao Zirong didn't ask to plant too much, but just wanted to try a little.

After Xiao Zirong went around for a while, he found that he basically didn't have to worry about farming. Many young ladies knew very well what their land was suitable for.

He returned to the station in peace, but he didn't expect that it was too early for him to feel relieved.

He was just about to ask the three sisters of the Zhai family to come over and give them the textbooks for them to study on their own, when Liu Cainiang hurried over and said, "City Lord, something happened."
