"Hmm?"
Li Si noticed the paper in his hand when he heard Meng Yi.
He had been so focused on the contents of the letter that he didn't notice anything wrong.
With Meng Yi's reminder, he instantly sensed something.
This letter wasn't written on ordinary bamboo slips or cloth.
Li Si rubbed his fingers together and carefully felt the texture of the paper.""It's thin and tough. What is this?”
" I think this item must have something to do with Your Majesty staying in Beidi County," Meng Yi said with a smile.”
The two of them looked at each other, each having their own thoughts…
" Lord Meng, I'll send a letter to General Tu Sui in the south. Then, I'll work with Internal Secretary Zhi Li to check the grain reserves in the national treasury and prepare to transport supplies to the south at any time." After thinking for a moment, Li Si told Meng Yi about his division of labor." As for the handover of the Black Ice Platform and the opening of the Zhao Trading Company, I'll leave it to you.”
Meng Yi nodded in agreement." Alright. However, the terrain in the south is rugged. If we really want to transport the rations and supplies over, I'm afraid it will take a lot of effort. Minister Li, do you have any countermeasures?"”
Unlike the Central Plains, the land of Baiyue was filled with hills and swamps. This was also the reason why Ying Zheng had sent Tu Sui with 500,000 troops to the south.
"I think we can build a canal between the Xiang River and the Li River in Xing 'an to transport these supplies.”Li Si said as he stroked his short beard.
" However, we still need to discuss this with His Majesty," Li Si continued." If Baiyue really cannot be pacified quickly, the canal must be dug as soon as possible so as not to delay the war.”
Meng Yi pondered for a moment. The terrain of the Bai Yue Land was complicated. If they used the usual land transportation method, it would be really difficult to effectively transport food and pay.
It had to be said that Li Si's waterway transportation was indeed a good idea.
"Why don't I write another letter and pass on Minister Li's idea to His Majesty for His Majesty to consider?”Meng Yi said.
Li Si nodded." That's good. Thank you, Lord Meng."”
Meng Yi smiled and said,"It's all for Great Qin."”
Meng Manor.
After a week, Meng Fan's class finally began again, as Wang Jian had been anticipating.
He had been rubbing his hands together for a long time, waiting for him to teach Fat Tiger personally, so he could show off his strength in front of Meng Fan.
He didn't want Meng Fan to look down on him.
After all, Wang Jian was the Marquis Wucheng of the Great Qin Empire. It didn't make sense for Meng Fan to look down on him.
"Children, the teacher has read all the letters you wrote last time and has sent them to Xianyang. I believe it won't be long before they reach the First Emperor's case.”Meng Fan stood in front of the stage and spoke to the children sitting neatly below.
"Really? Has our letter really been sent to Xianyang?”
"His Majesty the Emperor will watch it, right?"
"Sir is really amazing. He can always do what he says!”
Listening to the children's discussion, Ying Zheng, who was listening to the lecture, smiled.
I've looked at it carefully!
You are all good! They were Great Qin's future hope!
Meng Fan raised his hand and gestured for them to be quiet.
For the children, Meng Fan's prestige in their hearts was quite high. They instantly stopped discussing and quietly waited for Meng Fan to speak.
" His Majesty will definitely watch it." Meng Fan smiled." Don't forget what you said to His Majesty in the future. Those who want to be generals and ministers must work hard towards their goals!"”
" After today's class, a few of you will be staying behind. Sir has something to tell you." Meng Fan took out a list and read it out." Fat Tiger, Ah Mao, Er Gou, Chou Ba..."
He called out eight or nine names in a row. These were the seedlings that Meng Fan had picked out and prepared to train according to their aptitude.
"Is everyone clear about their names? Don't be in a hurry to go home later."
After getting their answers, Meng Fan began his lesson.
The content of the lesson was also very simple. He continued to teach some words that he had not taught before. Then, he took the children to read it a few times and copied it on rice paper. Then, he went home to consolidate it and check it the next time.
The class ended very quickly.
The children whose names hadn't been called left the yard one after another, leaving behind a few people who stared at Meng Fan curiously.
When there were only a few names left, Meng Fan smiled.""Do you know why Sir asked you to stay?”
"I don't know." The children shook their heads.
"Because you are smarter than them! They could master the knowledge taught by the teacher faster!”Meng Fan wasn't stingy with his affirmation.
Hearing this, the children's faces immediately revealed joy.
For children in their early years, it was absolutely a happy thing to be able to obtain the teacher's affirmation.
Children often could not hide their inner feelings.
Seeing the joy on their faces, Meng Fan's smile turned stern."" Although you're more outstanding, you can't be arrogant. As the saying goes, the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility. It's true that you're smarter, but this means that you need to learn more things and master more knowledge!”
