Chapter 307: Male and Female Matching

Lu Songli sent Qin Sheng and Xue Xu away and prepared to return to the governor's mansion to start a new round of busy official duties.

Qin Sheng and Xue Xu are now heading south first, and the goods they use to trade must be sent out quickly.

Nowadays, the five coastal counties of Liaodong County - Fangxian, Anshi, Pingguo, Dadi, and Fanhan. Except for Fanhan, the bandit forces in the other four counties have been eradicated and are all under the control of Liaodong County.

The four counties of Anshi are important port cities in Liaodong County. Now, they have sent heavy troops to guard Dadi County and Anshi.

Ji Wuyin's second batch of grain has successfully arrived in Liaodong County. The large ship carrying grain is currently docked at Anshi Port, and their people are unloading the cargo. The pills Ji Wuyin requested have also been delivered to Anshi Port and are ready to be shipped south.

Affected by the Southland, food prices in various places remain high.

Therefore, Lu Songli would not refuse anyone who came with food. And Ji Wuyin is also a very knowledgeable and big businessman.

Today, Liaodong County already has nearly 150,000 kilograms of grain stored in it. All of this grain is stored in several newly built secret granaries, which are managed by the Liaodong Chamber of Commerce and under the direct control of the Liaodong County Sheriff's Office.

Ji Wuyin transported 200,000 shi of food one after another, and now 50,000 shi have been consumed. These 50,000 shi of grain have played a very positive role in stabilizing grain prices.

During the suppression of bandits, no matter which county Houcheng's troops went to, the local people were very cooperative. Because they knew that only by eliminating the bandits would they have the opportunity to buy cheap food and serve in the corvee in advance.

As the people expected, when Qin Sheng was suppressing bandits, every time he cleared a county, the Liaodong Chamber of Commerce grain and oil store in that county would open its doors and sell cheap grain.

Seeing this, the local people also cooperated very much with the anti-bandit operation. Under the virtuous cycle, the army led by Qin Sheng was able to conquer nine bandit dens in the village in just two months.

It can be said that the Liaodong Chamber of Commerce at that time was almost following Qin Sheng. Wherever he went, grain and oil stores of the Liaodong Chamber of Commerce were set up, actively supporting his cause of suppressing bandits.

At that time, Zhou Da and others also teased Master Qin Liu, saying that Mrs. Six was fully supporting him.

When Qin Sheng heard this, the tips of his ears turned red and his heart felt sweet.

Lu Songli was at the door and met Lu Mingzhi who was yawning and going out.

Lu Songli pointed to the bruises under his eyes, "I wanted to ask you yesterday, are you tired recently?"

Hearing this, Lu Mingzhi looked at her sadly, "Second sister, it's not just me, Master and the others are also the same. We are really tired. That movable type printing is a tormenting weapon."

When Lu Mingzhi mentioned this, he looked frightened.

"How to say?"

"Didn't you recently ask us to work harder and print two to three hundred copies of the twenty books you sent us?"

Lu Songli nodded, it was indeed true.

"In order to fulfill your request, during this period of time, people in my yard can be said to have been resting without a break. We are so exhausted that we are so dizzy looking for words."

"Fortunately, Jiang Yizhou has a photographic memory and shouldered half of the workload. Otherwise, the brother you see now would have been even more haggard." But for them, watching a book bound with threads take shape and piled aside, it was a thrill. It’s a full sense of accomplishment. It was painful and joyful at the same time.

Looking for a word? Lu Songli suddenly remembered that at this time, there was no way to classify Chinese characters such as pinyin radicals, and the radical method might be available. But in general, when they look for words, they really rely on memory.

"Are you going to the Fourth Hospital in the North District? Come on, I'll go there with you to take a look."

"Are you going there too? Oh, okay."

After Lu Songli arrived there, he taught Pinyin to Master Zhan and others.

They are all well-educated people. Although the direction of applying what they have learned is a bit biased, in general, in this era, they can be regarded as highly educated talents.

Therefore, it is very fast to understand and accept the pinyin taught by Lu Songli, and to apply it quickly.

After learning, they classified the engraved characters twice. The first classification was based on pinyin. After the first classification, they were subdivided based on radicals.

In this way, they can find words very quickly when doing typesetting.

When Lu Songli saw that the problem was solved, she left. She was really busy.

If she hadn't been worried about exhausting the researchers like them from searching for words, she wouldn't have made a special trip here. Moreover, asking them to do the job of looking for words is overqualified and overqualified. It is not good for them to be all delayed here.

"Mingzhi, your second sister still has a way." Wei Wenqian breathed a sigh of relief.

Zhou Congguang also said, "If I had known that our second sister had something to do, if we had told her earlier, we wouldn't have been tortured for a few more days." Then he would have been able to play with his beloved gadgets earlier.

Lu Mingzhi rolled his eyes at him, "Who said that my second sister should come here less often?"

Zhou Congguang: ...It seems like he said that? Hiss, this slap in the face really hurts!

Jiang Yizhou said nothing at the side, thinking to himself that he was finally free.

"Master, why don't you speak?"

Master Zhan has been thinking deeply since Lu Songli left.

Several disciples only thought that this pinyin method was a convenient method that Lu Songli came up with to save them the trouble of finding words.

But he is a master after all, even though the students he teaches are just like him who are not doing their jobs properly. But as a master, he has the basic qualities and keen vision. He feels that if this pinyin is used for children's enlightenment, it will be easier for beginners to learn to read than relying on rote learning now.

After Master Zhan explained, Lv Mingzhi and others also felt that it seemed to be correct. But these people were not interested in teaching and educating people, so they just listened and forgot. Instead, Master Zhan decided to write a letter to his old friend in the academy.

Southland, at the foot of the mountain of Puxian Temple

Puxian Temple built a main street on this piece of land at the foot of the mountain, and built simple residences on both sides of the main street for pilgrims to rest. And because this is considered the property of Puxian Temple, these houses are surrounded by a circle of walls. There is a gate at the beginning and end of the street, which is opened at dawn and closed at dusk.

At this time, the carriage of Chen Mansion has entered the main street.

Chen Jiaye opened the curtain and asked a man in a straw raincoat outside, "Is this the place?"

"Yes! I have been guarding here since last night, and the other party has not come out."

Chen Jiaye gave a look, and his eldest son Chen Yu understood. He made a gesture, and the carriages of the Chen Mansion were lined up. The people they brought were scattered all over this resting place, especially several formal and informal exits.

As soon as Chen Jiaye and Chen Jiayu arrived in front of the room where Xue Guangxian was said to live, they were stopped by someone, "Stop!"

"Excuse me, is the person living inside Xue Guangxian Mr. Xue?"

"No comment!"

"We are Mr. Xue's old friends in the south, please let us know."

The other party's attitude was still tough, but at least he revealed a little, "Mr. Xue is taking a nap, if you have anything, wait until he wakes up."

"How long will it take for your Mr. Xue to wake up?"

"About half an hour."

The brothers Chen Jiaye and Chen Jiayu looked at each other. Because of the rain, their robes were a little wet, their shoes were wet, and even their hair was inevitably stained with raindrops...

"Brother, it's less than half an hour, why don't we tidy up our appearance in the room next door?"

"Okay."

The two brothers entered the empty room next door.
