The next morning, after Wang Ting sent Mei Liang off, he sat at the table and studied the map of the Great Han territory that Mei Liang had brought over. The area of the Great Han was not very large at this time. If one counted the vassal states, it would be larger than in his previous life. However, Wang Ting knew that the vassal states depended on the strength of the Central Country. Without control, there was a risk of being devoured.
He had also figured out the region he was in. It was in Hunan in the later generation, but it was much larger than Hunan. It should also include parts of Hubei, Guangdong, Guangxi, Guizhou, and other provinces. This was the heart of the war in the Central Plains. Damn it, it was not easy to get it. Thinking about it and doing it were forever different. Often, the idea was very good, but it was not so realistic to do it. The key was that his physical strength was not enough. Sigh, let's not think about this for now. There's no good solution for a while. Let's go out and take a look at the construction site.
This time, Mei Liang brought food, maps, and crystal samples. He also brought a few carts of paper and some new items that Wang Ting had asked Mei Zhu to find. Among them was cotton. After autumn, it would be winter. Without cotton and heating equipment, winter would not be easy. Wang Ting drew the growth characteristics of the cotton in each period and the patterns of the cotton in its fruiting period. Even if they didn't have any, they still had to buy some feathers from chickens, ducks, and geese. If they couldn't make cotton-padded jackets, they could make down jackets. After all, living people couldn't suffocate to death.
This time, Wang Ting clearly felt that it was very difficult for him to plan alone. He couldn't do it without a suitable helper. This time, he had specially informed Mi Zhu to bring some people who could come up with ideas. At the very least, they could help him run errands. Although Huang Zhong and Mi Jing knew literature, one was good at fighting while the other loved poetry. Neither of them could help him completely. What he wanted was to be able to understand his own planning and design, especially in terms of production and people's livelihood, so that he could go to the workshop and construction site to convey instructions on his behalf. Otherwise, she would have broken her legs if she had to kiss him on the spot. Now, her legs were still trembling when she thought about the experience of going up and down the mountain.
When they arrived at Mi Jing's room in the east wing, the little girl was sprawled on the table writing and drawing. Lu 'er was also pointing and watching from the side.
Jing 'er, what are you guys doing?"
"Young Master, you're here. I'm reviewing the new bookkeeping method you mentioned yesterday. I compared the methods of our shops and workshops. If I learn the method you taught me, it will be simpler and clearer!”
"That's right. I'm very pleased that Jing 'er and Lu' er can revise. If everyone is like you, we will definitely succeed in whatever we do. It's just a matter of time.”
"Young Master, you can't lie to us. What did you reward us with? Tell us so that Jing 'er and Lu' er can be happy!”
"What's the reward?" Wang Ting thought to himself," I'll reward you guys with being a teacher. It's good to teach and dispel doubts. Ha!"
"Young Master is joking again. How can Lu 'er and I be human teachers? Besides, Young Master, don't forget that we're women!”Mi Jing said angrily.
"Who said you can't be a teacher? The ancients all knew that the accomplished are teachers. Since we knew it earlier than others, we have met the requirements to be a teacher. Besides, so what if it was a woman? It was wrong for a saint to put a woman together with a villain. If that was the case, wouldn't our mothers have no one to support them? It would be a violation of the filial piety of a saint. Isn't that contradictory? Therefore, my summary of women as teachers is as follows: 'The wise are the teachers, and dare to be the first in the world.'Don't you agree?" " Time and guidance are the best teachers," Wang Ting thought to himself as he looked at the two people with shining eyes.
"Then what can we teach? Who is the person being taught?”
"Ha, when the houses in the village are finished, we will gather the women to learn the way of the kitchen from you.”Seeing the two of them puzzled, Wang Ting hurriedly continued,"
"Don't underestimate the way of the kitchen. As the saying goes, illness comes from the mouth. The good things are also the guarantee of the body. If you are in a good mood, you can do things without worry and live in harmony with your neighbors. If the family is harmonious, the people who can become neighbors, live in the county, and live in the high hall will be able to do many things, so that the country can prosper and the people can flourish.”
"Young Master is speaking as if the two of us can make the Great Han Dynasty prosper. Young Master is speaking nonsense, but Jing 'er and Lu' er like to listen, so we'll follow Young Master's arrangements.”The two of them looked at each other happily, their small hands clenched tightly.
"Let's go. Don't revise your mathematics. Let's go outside to see how our village is doing. We can also call Grandfather and Big Brother Huang Zhong over for lunch. They've been working hard these past few days. Jing 'er, take some time to go to Big Brother Huang Zhong's house to take a look. Is Huang Xu better? See if Sister-in-law needs any help.”
"En, I understand, Young Master!"
The algebra that Mi Jing had learned just now was the simple bookkeeping method that Wang Tingxin had learned in his previous life after Wang Er from the paper mill delivered the paper yesterday afternoon. It was simple bookkeeping. The reason was that Wang Ting was dizzy from looking at the production accounts yesterday. Although he could barely understand traditional Chinese characters, as someone who knew calligraphy, he could still roughly understand them. Most of the cursive script in calligraphy works were traditional Chinese characters. Before learning cursive script, he naturally had to learn and be familiar with regular script and the stroke order of the characters. But now, there were no lines in the accounts, and there were no punctuations. There were only some narrative records, such as: On the day of Gengzi, the materials used were five dan of Gengchou's daily production of 100 sheets of paper and so on. The entire volume was filled with them. Anyone who read them would have a headache. This was still simple. If the Mi Family's rice shop frequently entered and exited the goods, who knew what would happen? No wonder the ancients needed dozens of people to check the accounts for half a year.
It seemed that he had to work hard to change a lot of basic knowledge. The development of society always needed process and time. This was not the fault of the ancients. Yesterday, Wang Ting had to patiently explain the modern numbers from 0 to 9 to the ancient numbers. He also taught Second Brother Wang how to record the income on one side and the expenditure on the other side. Finally, he added a summary and a total to complete the teaching of the principle of borrowing and lending in accounting in his previous life. Not only did Wang Er from the workshop understand and learn it in a short while, but Mei Liang was also overjoyed when he saw it. This was also a divine artifact that Young Master had mastered, and he actually taught it to me. In fact, Wang Ting had wanted to teach them how to use an abacus, but it was already too late, and he didn't have any ready-made tools, so he gave up. After all, they had a long way to go, and they couldn't become fat with just one bite.
The three of them walked on the busy stone road. Seeing how busy everyone was, Wang Ting felt a sense of accomplishment. Our ancestors had a hard life. An era where there was no bullying and food was heaven in their eyes. They were busy for their own happiness. They were busy here, but their hearts were filled with joy.
The house was built for himself. Other than providing them with food and accommodation for his wife and children, the Wang Ting also gave them a few taels of silver every day. There was such a place in the big man's place. This was their paradise. Wang Ting believed that if anyone dared to bully him and chase him away, these simple and honest people would definitely pick up their knives and hoes and fight to the death with the other party. Someone actually dared to bully the God of Heaven. If I can't live, then so be it. These were the true thoughts of these people in front of him. How could Wang Ting not be moved?
"Young master, ever since Jing 'er and young master met, she has learned many things that have never been seen before. Is this really what the clan leader said was taught by a god in his dream?”Mei Jing couldn't help but ask as she walked.
"Ha, god's gift, right and wrong. There's a saying that Sir brings people into the door to cultivate and looks at them. I was only injured once, and when I woke up, I was like this. However, you can't trust and rely too much on the power of ghosts. The key to understanding the way of things is to see, learn, and think more!”
God's gift, even if it is, I can't say that I don't belong to this world. Although we don't have the same surname, I'm still the descendant of your descendant. If we were to talk about seniority in the world, I have to call you old, and I don't know how many more old grandmothers and ancestors I have to add.
"Wait a minute, did you just say divine bestowment? I just thought of something. When you go back, don't forget to remind me that I have a plan for the Jing State. Ha, I still have to thank Jing 'er. I'll tell you how the gods bestowed the Jing State on me later!”Wang Ting suddenly remembered the difficult problem he had just faced in his room when he had seized the Jing State. Perhaps his conversation with Mi Jing had really led to a solution.
From afar, Wang Ting saw Huang Zhong directing the people to work in an orderly manner on the construction site. He shook his head. He had really let this big brother use his talents for a waste. "Uncle Huang, Uncle Huang!" Lu 'er also shouted happily. Huang Zhong was Lu' er's benefactor, so he was naturally happy to see him.
When Huang Zhong heard Wang Ting and the others call out to him, he instructed them and strode over to Wang Ting. "Why do you have the time to come out and take a look today? Have you perfected the blueprints of your cement workshop?”
"It has been perfected, so I came out to take a look. I also wanted to find you, the clan leader, and the others to have lunch at noon to discuss other matters.”
"Alright, you go back first. I'll send someone to ask everyone to wash up.”
"Big brother, you are a general. Do you feel bitter doing such a thing?”Wang Ting could not help but ask.
"Bitter, little brother is different. The general mounted the horse for the safety of the people. Now that he sees that the people can stand on their own feet safely, why bother!”
"That's good, that's good. I thought that big brother was unwilling and was afraid that he would treat big brother badly. However, I still have something to say to my big brother. As the saying goes, if you don't take a small step, you can't reach a thousand miles. If you don't accumulate small streams, you can't form rivers and seas. Although we look ordinary, this is the accumulation of our own explosive power. Big brother, remember!”
"Brother is right, big brother will remember it.”
Wang Ting saw that the two lolis standing next to him were about to give off murderous glares again, so he quickly pulled the two of them back. He was really used to it here, saying famous words at the drop of a hat. Don't blame me, don't blame your mouth!
He didn't feel anything when he was in a hurry just now, but now he felt awkward. He lowered his head and saw that the two little lolis were twisting their wrists to break free. When he turned back to look at the two of them, they looked like Shandong golden dates that had ripened in October. Their faces were red and shy.
Wang Ting quickly let go of his hand, allowing the two of them to heave a sigh of relief. First, men and women should not be close to each other. Second, they were in public. "I don't know if this wicked young master is doing it intentionally or not, but his heart is itching to beat wildly.”
Along the way, there was the sound of work on the construction site. The two of them were silent as if they did not exist. Wang Ting secretly laughed. Interesting. In his previous life, once a junior high school student had a boyfriend or girlfriend, they would hide in some corner and kiss after class, let alone hold hands.
After returning home, Mi Jing and Gan Lu went to prepare for the lunch reception. Wang Ting returned to his room to think about what he would say to everyone after lunch. This was also Wang Ting's habit. In his previous life, there was a weekly meeting every week, and preparation was a necessary condition for a good meeting. Wang Ting could not abandon this good habit now.
At noon, Huang Zhong and the clan leader arrived as promised. Lu 'er served tea and waited on them.
"Grandfather, Big Brother Huang, fellow villagers, you've worked hard these past few days. Wang Ting thanks you!”Wang Ting stood up and bowed to everyone.
"Now that the expansion of the paper workshop has been completed, the construction drawings for the cement workshop have been completed, and we have found the raw materials, the construction of the house is almost complete. I think we can draw out the craftsmen who are familiar with the relevant fields to start the construction of our cement workshop. Don't worry, cement is also used to build houses. If we produce it, the houses we build will be faster and more durable. What do you think?"
" Also, I just looked at the houses that everyone has built. There are still many areas that are not perfect. It's going to be winter soon to prevent everyone from getting frostbite. After the cement is produced, Grandpa and Liu Bo will arrange for a few craftsmen to build houses and carpenters for me. I'll use my house to make a model for everyone so that everyone can decorate it according to the design.”Wang Ting voiced his thoughts. Everyone thought about the pros and cons and agreed to Wang Ting's suggestion. Moreover, Wang Ting had actually become the highest leader here, so under normal circumstances, they would act according to Wang Ting's arrangements.
The lunch was naturally to fill everyone's stomachs. The food was only considered full when it reached their throats. Seeing them stagger away with their stomachs in their hands, the two girls laughed so hard that they couldn't straighten their backs. It seemed that cooking a good meal was such a happy and satisfying thing.
Huang Zhong naturally asked Wang Ting to stay while Lu 'er served new tea. The two of them sat in Wang Ting's study and studied the map. "Big brother, do you still remember when we were camping on the mountain, I said that I was planning the Jingzhou matter?”
"I remember. I wonder if you have any good ideas?”
"I guess so. I thought of a plan when I was chatting with Mi Jing this morning. I've specially asked Big Brother to come and discuss it to see if it's okay.”
"Ah, it really made young master think of it. He thought of it when he was talking to me. What did I say?”Mei Jing stood at the side and recalled with a confused expression.
"We can divide this plan into a few steps. Our final goal is the Jing state. It might be difficult, so we can divide it into a few small goals.”
Huang Zhong looked at Wang Ting, who continued,"Big Brother, do you remember the rebellion of Wang Mang of the previous Great Han Dynasty? The people were shocked to find the book of divine gift in the belly of the fish. From then on, Wang Mang rose up!”
"I remember. There are many records in the bamboo slips. It says that 'God bestowed the emperor's Dao to the wild, saved the people from the sea of fire, and created karmic care'. Young Master wouldn't usurp the Han Dynasty like Wang Mang, right?”Mei Jing interjected from the side. Huang Zhong also stared straight at Wang Ting. This was not a joke. Although Huang Zhong had acknowledged Wang Ting as his master, he still considered himself a citizen of the Great Han Dynasty.
"You've misunderstood. I'm also a citizen of the Great Han Dynasty. I just want to use my divine power to complete the plot of Jingzhou and give the people peace! "Don't think about it wrongly," Wang Ting quickly explained.
"Brother Xin, please tell me slowly.”
"The first step is to endure hardships and taste gall from now on, making friends with the Ten Attendants of the Eternal to get close to the emperor. Secondly, we have to get close to Liu Jing Zhou and at least gain his recognition. These three are the power of creation."
Seeing Huang Zhong and Mi Jing's confusion, Wang Ting knew that they didn't know that mortals could create Divine Power. He wouldn't believe it even if he was beaten to death.
"I want to send a divine stone from the Imperial Palace and the Jingzhou Prefecture at an appropriate time. I want it to say,'If you are born as the governor of Jingzhou, you can prosper our Han country'.”
"Young master, how can you have divine stones descending from the sky? How can we do that?”Mei Jing couldn't help but ask.
"This is also the most difficult. I've thought of a few ways. One is to borrow the power of a kite, oh, a wind kite. Make a huge wind kite and tie it to a stone. The second was to send people to find the descendants of the Mohist and Gongsun families to see if they had inherited the skill of the ancestor's wooden harrier and realized it. The third method is to use animal skin to sew a large ball, then light a fire below. The fire will rise to drive the ball up to the sky and use the wind to do this. Of course, I will also let the night suddenly ignite the heavenly fire. This heavenly fire is the bones of people in the wild that turn into powder. When the temperature is high, it will spontaneously combust and will not affect anything else. Is the plan I mentioned above feasible?”
After Wang Ting finished speaking, he looked at Huang Zhong and Mi Jing. The two of them looked at each other, their eyes wide as if they were asking each other,
"Do you believe me?"
"Do you believe me?"
" Divine power descended into the world just like that!?"
"Why don't you believe me?"
"If brother's shen power succeeds, then we can try our plan. If it doesn't, we will definitely gain something!”In the end, it was Huang Zhong who came to his senses and replied.
