Chapter 116 Winter Clothes

Fusu and Zhang Liangyi discussed and really discussed something.

At present, both IUC and Yunyang Academy have implemented an assessment system. Doctors need to be admitted, and students need to be admitted after the phased study. Both students and doctoral students have a good acceptance. The servants in Xianyang have basically achieved "training first and then taking the post". The next wounded soldiers have started to prepare pre-job training courses, and they are basically arranged for fast and efficient teaching content based on zero-based teaching.

The teaching and assessment on these two sides are different. On the one hand, they are targeted at the middle-level officials to reserve talents, and at least they are county officials; on the other hand, they are targeted at the lower-level officials, and all the trained are grassroots capable officials who need to do practical things.

It can be said that in addition to not cultivating military generals, these two places are mass-cultivating middle and low-level officials needed by the Qin Dynasty.

Students from these two places can be said to be the first to adapt to the "exam". If you want to enter the school, you have to conduct a basic test, you have to undergo a phased assessment if you want to get promoted, and you have to undergo a comprehensive level test if you want to graduate. If you don't have one test that month, they may feel that they are missing something and feel uncomfortable all over!

Since we need to implement a new official system, it is better to conduct a national selection examination according to the position requirements. Talents in the world will consider the direction they are good at applying for the corresponding position. If they pass the exam, they can be interviewed by the corresponding yamen. Those who fail the exam will be sent back to farm and study, and then fight again in the next round!

This may require a lot of manpower and material resources to complete, but at least it can ensure that the selected talents can perform their own duties and be competent for the positions they are about to take up.

With this direction, there are more things to discuss.

First of all, many positions have not been determined yet, so we have to discuss how to set them up to allow Ying Zheng to accept them; secondly, if we have determined the positions, we have to discuss the assessment plan. Some basic things must be known to all positions. We can consider setting up a common exam to select candidates who are qualified to enter the next round, and then conduct targeted assessments.

These detailed things cannot be discussed in a day or two. Fusu and Zhang Liang talked with candles every night, exchanging their own ideas. During the day, Fusu was busy with the affairs of the court, so Zhang Liang visited the Xianyang monks again to discuss the issues they thought of when they communicated with them, and came back to continue discussing with Fusu in the evening.

With Zhang Liang here, Fusu became much more energetic even when he went to court and worked.

Ying Zheng was a little confused at first, but later he asked someone to investigate and found out that Zhang Liang had returned from Yuyang County.

Ying Zheng was a little disgusted with Zhang Liang's improper official position and ran back to discuss things with Fusu every day. Not to mention Zhang Liang's appearance as a boy and a girl, she had a very confusing face. Just based on this guy's background and nature, Ying Zheng felt that he was three points to guard against him.

Unfortunately, his stupid son trusted Zhang Liang very much. He was so embarrassed that he didn't come back. He was energetic after he came back.

Ying Zheng didn't like him anymore, so he didn't want to take Zhang Liang away from Fusu. It's normal for young people to have something to talk about. If Fusu insists on driving people away, Fusu might be more worried about it.

Ying Zheng calmly asked someone to keep an eye on him for a few days, but he didn't find any problems, so he exposed the matter.

Shortly after Zhang Liang came back, the heavy rain and snow that had lasted for a long time after the beginning of winter finally stopped. Although there were sunny and snow everywhere, the heavy snow was rare some time ago.

Meng Yi was in charge of cleaning the road after the snow disaster. After the weather officially cleared, he took the village heroes and prisoners to various places to clear the snow so that he could clear the way to transport grain early.

Through the direct residence, Fusu asked the counties to organize the after-disaster work, at least to find out whether there were any particularly severe disaster areas, and also distributed winter clothes made from weaving workshops to nursing homes and Li Xin in various places.

Fortunately, in order to develop paper armor, a large number of mulberry paper was made in the paper workshop this year.

As we all know, the paper color and hardness of the paper made with different raw materials are very different.

Bamboo paper is originally yellowish, and can become snow-white and delicate after being coated with special paints. This is a high-end paper for writing; paper made of mixed reeds and straw is relatively rough and has poor color. It is mostly used as low-end straw paper.

The mulberry paper developed by Fusu is made of mulberry bark. Its characteristics are relatively tough, durable, cold-resistant, and has certain waterproofness. How many layers can be used for different functions.

Nowadays, ordinary people wear a variety of winter clothes. They either wear wild animals with fur, or collect reeds, plants, seeds, willow catkins, poplar catkins, etc., and they are bloated and clumsy, and they are not very warm. Most people choose to stay at home and not go out in winter.

"Paper Winter Clothes" made of mulberry paper are at least cold-proof and light-weight than existing winter clothing.

Originally, Fusu was thinking of using these mulberry paper to make a batch of paper armor for trial use, but now it suddenly snowed heavily, so he asked the weaving workshop to start work overnight to make winter clothes.

Although I heard the heavy snow, the winter cold is far from over. Everything else is secondary, and the most important thing is not to freeze people to death.

With new spinning wheels and looms, the fabric needed for winter clothes was quickly produced. All the female red-made mature men were put into the winter clothes production line, and soon sewed a very warm "paper winter clothes" using cloth and mulberry paper, and delivered them to the hands of those who needed them the most.

As for the research and development of paper armor, it is not too late to take it slowly.

As the snow on the official road was cleared, batches of winter clothes were sent to Li Xin, Meng Tian and others, and to nursing homes where widowed widowed and orphans were taken in various counties.

The amount of mulberry paper is still limited, and the needs of ordinary people are not yet at present, so they can only be used in the places where they need it most for the time being.

But this is enough. Those who get this new "paper winter clothes" will inevitably discuss this new cold-resistant clothing with others. In this process, Fusu, the person who made new winter clothes for them will naturally mention.

No matter what others do, at least these people are warm and their hearts are warm. They all think that they must fight this battle well and take down Chu State as soon as possible to repay their wise and kind king and son!

Compared with the sudden morale of the Qin soldiers, the situation on the Chu State is worse. Although Chu State is located in the south and does not encounter heavy snow like Qin State, the weather in Chu State is unprecedentedly cold this year.

At first, it was raining and snowing for days, but later the snow gradually became heavier. Many people's houses were crushed by heavy snow, and news gradually spread that many people were frozen to death.

I don’t know who spread the news, but many soldiers heard that their hometown was hit by disaster, and the people in their hometown either froze to death or their houses collapsed and were homeless. At the beginning, they were just fellow villagers and they were vague. After several rounds of processing, the rumors were very precise, and even the specific place names were completed!

When Xiang Yan discovered such rumors circulating in the army, almost everyone had heard of the version corresponding to their hometown!

This is a bit of a big problem.

Xiang Yan immediately organized people to refute the rumors, telling the soldiers that the disaster was not that serious, and that so many people would not die or collapse so many houses.

As a result, the rumors here have not been resolved, and nursery rhymes such as "Heavy snow comes, the Great Chu dies; Heavy snow comes, Xiang is the king" appearing again. The scriptures are not well compiled, but they are singing in the countryside, and it starts before it snows. When it snows, these nursery rhymes have also reached the ears of the King of Chu.

Xiang Yan was in the army and did not know the news. However, the Xiang family, who was in the royal capital, felt that there were obviously many patrolers outside the house. They had to patrol at least ten or eight times a day, and guards were walking outside all night.

Xiang Yu was detained at home by his family and ran to secretly lie on the gate from time to time to look out. He was puzzled when he saw the solemn guards. He ran back and asked his mother why there were so many soldiers walking around outside: "If they don't go to attack the Qin people, what are they doing when they blocked our house?"

Xiang's mother looked sad and hugged her son in her arms and said, "Because we are very important, the king specially sent so many people to protect us. When you grow up in the future, you will defend the State of Chu like your grandfather and your father."

Xiang Yu accepted the statement that "we are very important" and said "hmm" hard, saying that he would definitely be as powerful as his grandfather and others, and that the Qin people dared not step into the Chu State again!

Endless snow floated out of the house again. Xiang’s mother hugged her son tightly, hoping that her husband and father-in-law could return safely.

When Xiang Yan learned about the situation in the royal capital, he suddenly got older.

He had learned about what Qin did when he destroyed Zhao. At that time, Li Mu repeatedly defeated Qin's army, but eventually ended up being imprisoned. Although there was a reason for the treacherous ministers, it was also related to the Qin people's careful work that secretly contributed to the fire.

Although this method is not new, it is very effective when used. At least now, not only is the morale of the army shaken, but even the king is also suspicious. If he makes any inappropriate moves, the Xiang family will probably be the first to suffer!

Thinking of his old wife and grandson at home, Xiang Yan took a deep breath and ordered all the soldiers to gather for a big mobilization to stabilize the disturbed morale of the army.

Neither he nor Chu had a way out!

Perhaps because the soldiers on both sides were in a hurry and the weather had not yet warmed up, Qin and Chu started fighting again.

When the King of Qi, who was watching the battle from the other side of the river, was a little stunned when he heard the news: It's such a cold day, are they afraid of life?

The Chu people are worthy of being the Southern Barbarian, and Ying Zheng is worthy of being his good brother. Both sides are not afraid of cold or death, and they just started doing it in the snow and ice!

If you want to talk about who the State of Chu and the King of Qi of Qin, then of course it is Qin. He and the King of Chu have no common topics, so they can't talk about it!

If the civil and military officials had not stopped him, the King of Qi would have sent some food to Qin and helped Qin kill Chu! Of course, after hearing a lot of truths that "if Chu is gone, it will be Qi's turn to suffer", the King of Qi did not put forward his wise view on this matter and continued to enjoy himself peacefully.

By the beginning of spring, Meng Tian’s news came back to Xianyang: they took the capital of King Chu, but Xiang Yan protected the King of Chu to flee, and was currently retreating to a fortress in the south that is easy to defend but difficult to attack!

Ying Zheng was overjoyed.

Although Xiang Yan was not caught or captured the King of Chu, he had all the land, and he was not in a hurry to beat the rest.

After almost a year of fighting, there was finally an exciting victory. Ying Zheng finally felt relieved. Because of concern for the war, he had almost never had a banquet for the whole year. Now that good news has come, Ying Zheng immediately ordered a palace banquet for the ministers, and let everyone have a few drinks together.

The author has something to say:

Fu Xiaosu: I always feel that my father’s speed in conquering the world is like a rocket!
