The group of people who were used to the bed being used as a bed, eating, drinking and lying on the bed suddenly became more particular.
No one is urinating or spitting anywhere anymore, and the village has a completely new look.
Once again, Wang Wei was overwhelmed by the wisdom of His Royal Highness King Jing.
It is really useful to set up a school in the village. Before this, he thought it was superfluous, but now it seems that the people who have studied are different. Those guys have only been in the school for a long time. Be civilized and polite...
When his child is born and grows up, he will also be sent to the school to be disciplined by his master.
Li Yi also heard about this from Wang Wei.
He felt a little regretful, his subordinates were a bunch of reckless men after all, asking them to pick up knives and slaying people would never say anything, but asking them to hold a pen to write seemed to kill them...
They were given a free opportunity to improve themselves and surpass themselves. None of them cherished it. Ning Yuan moved stones to build bridges and pave roads and was unwilling to enter the school again. This made him unable to use other ideas that the old party gave him...
For example, they were put in confinement for half a month, and food and water were delivered every day, but there was no toilet in the confinement room, anyway, they were used to solving it on the spot...
Another example is erecting a monument in front of the stockade, engraving their names and "heroic deeds" on the monument, leaving it to future generations to admire...
Also like—forget it, it’s too disgusting, let’s not compare it.
…
No one wants to study, even if they are suffocated to death outside, they don’t want to go to school. Perhaps they have realized the truth that learning is boundless and turning back is the shore...
But this also exposed a major problem.
Under his command, there is a great lack of high-end talents.
If you look at Miss Liu Er in the past, you will know how much martial arts practitioners despise reading, not to mention those bandits. To put it bluntly, they are just a group of rabble. , but when it comes to management, or a disciplined charge and the like, it's too far behind.
This is not what Li Yi wants to see, nor is it what Miss Liu Er wants to see.
Miss Liu Er left half a month ago to occupy more hills. Before she left, she left some members of the Liu League here to train Wang Wei's subordinates.
If it weren't for the helplessness of life, no one would be willing to be a bandit. Many people were ordinary people before they fell into bandits, and they also dragged their families along...
After being subdued, some of them earned a family business with their own efforts and brought their families here. Today, this place is no different from an ordinary town.
Li Yi selected some educated people from among them, trying to cultivate talents in other fields, currently focusing on industry, such as machinery, materials and other majors. Of course, they don't need to get in touch with very advanced things. As long as they can understand some simple theories that they say, and they can put them into practice.
At this time, he misses Li Xuan a little bit. The real talents he needs are almost all in the Academy of Sciences...
Still have to poach someone from him...
"My lord, it's done!"
Wang Wei strode in from the outside, holding a bunch of swords and other things in his hands, and threw them on the ground with a clatter.
Li Yi stood up and walked to the front.
Wang Wei picked up two knives from the ground, held each in his hand, and said, "Look, my lord, this one is an ordinary knife, and this one was forged just now..."
He waved both hands at the same time, only heard a "clang", and sparks flew everywhere. The knife in his right hand was not damaged at all, but an obvious gap had appeared on the knife held in his left hand.
Clang!
He slashed twice again, the knife held in his left hand was broken in two, and the knife in his right hand was still intact.
Lao Fang, who just walked in from the outside, stared fixedly at the knife in Wang Wei's hand, his eyes lit up, and murmured: "Baby, baby..."
Wang Wei looked at him and said generously: "I like it, I'll give it to you if I like it..."
He casually handed the knife to Lao Fang, but Lao Fang didn't take it, with a look of vigilance on his face, he said: "What do you want to do, I can't afford to mess with your tigress, you didn't come with me yesterday Playing cards, you should find other reasons to fool her... "
"Oh, if you didn't go back, you didn't go back. What reason do you want? I'm not you. I'm afraid of my wife..."
"You have the courage to say this sentence again in front of her..."
"Why should I listen to you..."
…
Li Yi ignored these two guys who were unwilling to admit the facts, picked up two swords from the ground, and looked at them carefully.
After the improvement of smelting and forging methods, the quality of steel has indeed improved a lot. Although it is still far from the level of cutting hair and iron like mud, compared with ordinary weapons, it can already be called a treasure.
Since it is a treasure, it can be sold for money, a lot of money.
He is already very rich, but with so many people under his command who need to eat, spend money on construction, and support Ruyi, a prodigal sister-in-law, the more money, the better.
Ruyi's Qiushui is a good sword, in terms of sharpness and tenacity, it is not comparable to the one in his hand.
But that sword must have been forged by highly skilled master craftsmen after thousands of years of tempering. Although it can be sold for an excellent price, the cost is not small.
Mass production is different. Technological reforms and cost reductions allow them to easily create magical weapons in the eyes of ordinary people.
This is not a magic weapon, this is all money.
Jing Guo, the richest person in Kyoto.
In the state of Qi, the richest person is in the capital.
Li Yi pondered for a moment, and felt that it was time for those foreign businessmen from the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland to come out.
No, no, I almost forgot, after experiencing the incident with Liuli, whether in Qi or Jing, if those foreign businessmen dared to show up, they would be arrested and dismembered immediately.
Change the routine this time.
He sat back at the table and started writing to Li Xuan.
…
Kyoto, Hibiscus Garden.
Li Xuan held a dagger in his hand, and easily cut a few gaps in the guard's long knife.
He nodded, with a satisfied expression on his face. After giving so many gifts, that stingy guy finally knows how to return the gift. This dagger is not bad, extremely sharp, and extremely tough. Even the treasures in the palace can't compete with it. In comparison, he can be called a magic soldier, and he has a heart...
But then, he realized a problem.
This dagger was forged by him, that is to say, he had already mastered a new forging method, and he didn't tell himself - thanks to his heart and soul, he actually hid it!
There was a look of resentment on his face, if it wasn't for the sake of this magical weapon, he wouldn't have ordered to help him find the top blacksmith in Jingguo...
At a certain moment, the guard behind him bowed slightly: "I have seen Her Royal Highness."
Two women came side by side from a distance, and the younger one on the left looked at him and asked, "Brother Emperor, did you have another letter from your husband?"
Li Xuan looked at Shou Ning, who had completely faded away from his youthfulness and immaturity, and said with a smile: "There are more than just letters, come and see this..."
He showed the sharpness of the dagger again in front of Mingzhu and Shouning, and said in a rather ostentatious tone: "Although this dagger is a bit short, in terms of sharpness, even the treasures collected in the palace cannot Compared with it, it can be called a priceless magic weapon... "
After finishing speaking, he seemed to think of something, pointed behind him, and said, "He also brought you a gift, go open it and have a look."
The two women walked over slowly and opened two long brocade boxes on the table behind them.
After being stunned, they turned their heads at the same time and looked at the dagger in Li Xuan's hand.
Li Xuan was taken aback when he saw this, and then he said with a smile: "If you like this magic weapon, I will lend it to you to play for a few days, but remember to return it to me, I still want to use it for research..."
Shou Ning closed the brocade box without showing any trace, shook his head, and said, "It's still not necessary..."
"You're welcome, next time I'll ask him to give you two too..." Li Xuan walked over and asked with some doubts, "What did he give you?"
"It's nothing..." Shou Ning shook his head, picked up the brocade box, and said, "Brother Huang, there are still some things to do in the academy, I'll go first..."
The brocade box was too long, at least about four feet. When she turned around, she accidentally knocked over another one.
The box fell to the ground, the lid was opened, and the contents of the box were revealed.
It was a long sword with a length of more than three feet. The hilt was carved into a phoenix, which was lifelike. The scabbard was carved with intricate patterns, which were extremely exquisite. There were also a row of more than ten precious stones inlaid on it. Glittering under the sun's rays...
Li Xuan was startled, then lowered his head and picked up the sword.
He seemed to have thought of something, the long sword was unsheathed, and he waved lightly at the wooden table beside him.
Click!
A white light flashed, and the wooden table split into two and fell to both sides.
He looked at the long sword in his hand, then at the short dagger in the other hand...
One is more than three feet, and one is less than one foot.
One scabbard was exquisite, inlaid with precious stones, and priceless, and the other—without the scabbard—was brought in a wooden box.
He suddenly felt a little sad...
