It's almost over in recent years, and the weather is particularly cold.

Since the emergence of earthen kang in Baijiazhuang, this economical and practical heating method has quickly spread to the entire Lao Qin. It is said that even Koreans are using it now, but no matter how good things are, they have advantages and disadvantages. Since the appearance of this earthen kang, people who are a little older don’t like to go out and always like to cat at home.

Now even middle-aged intellectuals like Yang Zhu have gradually become otakus. People who are less than 40 years old have learned to chat with people on the kang with their legs cross-legged style. This is not true. Bai Dong likes to see his mother's inadvertent style, but he doesn't want her to become a skewed old woman with a trolley legs. Of course, it's not that the Northeast girls in later generations are not good. In fact, they are simple and cute, but this habit is also a fact that they can't help health. There are big yangge twos in the northeast. They are not afraid that cross-legged for a long time and block their bloodlines. He can't teach his mother to dance yangge, right? I can't believe that kind of scene. The old women in Bai Zuogeng dance yangge, and then lean over to a few Ben who winks over~ Uncle Shan, that's too irritating...

For this reason, Bai Dong will practice it every day. As long as it is not cloudy, he will run to the Neihu to bask in the sun, and then play a health fist to chat and talk to the tribesmen, but he never goes back to the house at noon. Nowadays, young people in the tribe regard him as a role model, so naturally they will follow suit, especially Caoer Sangwazi and others are the most enthusiastic. Seeing the young people so happy, the old people are gradually willing to walk out of the house, breathe a few breaths of fresh air, and bask in the rare sunshine in winter, and gradually develop a healthy living habit.

The weather is particularly good today. Some old men in the tribe have exercised in the morning. After lunch, they have not planned to go back, so they pulled out the fishing rod. They simply fished in the ice holes that the children smashed, and then threw them back. They just wanted to have fun. Cao'er stood on the ice with his hands behind his back, watching Wu Zhuan squatting next to the ice hole to measure the thickness of the ice layer. Seeing that he had been measuring it all over, he was annoyed and knocked the back of his head with his little hands: "Are you okay? I promised to help me adjust the rouge today, and the plum blossoms in the village are in full bloom..."

"Seven inches... A few days ago, I went to Fengming Academy and measured the ice layer next to Jingshui. Because there were rapids underwater, the ice layer became much thinner, only three inches. When people stood on it, cracks would appear, which was very dangerous. But if people lie on the ice, it would not be like this. What is the reason? The thickness of the ice layer should be just one of the reasons. It seems very important to what posture people use on the ice... If we know the weight and height of a person, how can we accurately calculate the safety thickness of the ice layer when standing and lying down? The master's book did not talk about these things. I want to ask the master, why don't we adjust the rouge tomorrow?"

"No! You crazy guy. What kind of safety and thickness are not safe and thickness? You can tell if you step on it with your feet. It's hard to do it? Go quickly. After adjusting the rouge, you have to see Mr. Yang Zhu. The gentleman said that when the academy is completed, we will all take the entrance examination. People must study in the academy. If you don't review it more, you won't leave yet?"

Cao'er became angry and grabbed Wu Zhuan's ear, which made the boy scream: "Oh, it hurts so much. OK, I'll just accompany you to adjust the rouge, let go..."

"After leaving Mianchi, is Yan Lao Kang Tai? I especially remember the time of separation, the gentleman was eagerly expecting it; after the New Year, Fengming Academy was initially completed, and a hundred students would be admitted, but they would be regretted that there was no famous teacher. If Yan Lao was willing to surrender, there would be no different teachings. If the whole world's teachings were complete, the boy should be moved by it, but only hoped for the jade carriage..."

Putting down the pen and put the envelope in the pigeon barrel, Bai Dong took another piece of paper, thought about it, and began to write an invitation letter.

Last time at the Mianchi Wenshe, Yan Jian and several contemporary academic scholars expressed their intention to come to the academy to teach. Even Meng Ke seemed to be moved. This was not for Lao Qin, but for several academic scholars, Bai Zi, who created a new poetry style and new text, was very optimistic about him. It was also because his work was too big. He built a Fengming Academy and was actually ten times more than Jixia Academy. Which pre-Qin scholars don’t want to recruit disciples and become the world’s number one school? Now, Bai Dong, a Fengming Academy, advocates luck and has such a scale. If he doesn’t come by himself, wouldn’t it be the first to be a leader and be in vain?

However, these scholars are very reserved, have a strong sense of self-esteem, and they all have noble identities. When they arrive in any country, the king will be downgraded to welcome him. Therefore, if you think about it, Bai Dong will ask for help again and again. If you don’t send such invitation letters two or three times, you will be shameless to come to Lao Qin.

Now that official script has begun to be promoted, the Zhou emperor's king's destiny is like a catalyst, breaking the persistence of those old nobles and families. Now more and more people are learning official script, but most of them are the first time they really use pen, ink, paper and inkstone as the main tool for writing, and there is no experience of copying the screen tablet inscription in later generations. How can it be done by relying on their own to figure it out? So Bai Dong became the number one calligrapher today. Even this text was created by others, so who dares to question it?

Nowadays, official script is called "White Style", and Bai Dong's personal writing has become a treasure that scholars all over the world pursue. After all, the "New Word Collection" is printed and cannot be shamed. It is necessary to have the original works of Bai Zi to have learning value. Nowadays, not only ordinary scholars, but also major scholars must start by understanding Bai Dong's writing, and then talk about establishing their own style.

Old Yan Jian and Meng Ke are both cunning and cunning. This is the third letter sent by Bai Dong. They either didn’t see it, but they just wanted to leave a more careful consideration. How could Bai Dong not understand the thoughts of these old guys? Just add a few new poems to the letter, what is the "old friends are far away from each other, and the bright moon is leaning on the building alone"? What is the scene when you see the scene, "The birds fly in the mountains, the thousands of paths are destroyed, the old man fishing for the straw hat alone in the cold river snow". I picked up a few words at will, as if these old guys were dying. After seeing the poem, Lao Yan Jian was very surprised and sent a special letter to ask, "How did you know that I love fishing the most? And it was fishing alone by the water. It was really snowing that day...

He gave Bai Chi several letters to Bai Chi, and Bai Dong walked out of the pavilion. He stretched his waist gently and relaxed his mood. He didn't need a carriage and horse, so he walked to the back village.

Cao'er and a few girls from the tribe were laughing and picking plum blossoms, then putting them in pottery jars, pounding them gently with a pestle, and Wu Zhuan sat on the small stone table to match them with rouge. This is a pure natural and pollution-free method. Wu Zhuan is skillful in craftsmanship, and the rouge he made is not under the "swallow fat". A new product was developed not long ago. Girls can be used for beauty and can also beautify their skin after eating.

Now the grass's skin is white and red, and it is becoming more and more fragrant. It is probably just for eating rouge. But this kid also eats it. It is said that the one who likes to eat the most is the rouge on the girl's mouth. Sang Wazi was angry about this and has come to Bai Dong to complain several times, but Bai Dong is too partial. Every time he helps Wu Zhuan block it, he only said that Sang Wazi has no evidence and is not allowed to bully a poor foreign child...

I wonder if he had eaten the rouge on Cao'er's mouth? Bai Dong stood in the distance and shook his head with a smile.

For a time traveler in later generations, there is nothing to object to free love and pure first kisses. Children do not pursue love during the youthful flower season. Do they have to wait until the seventies and eighties to pursue it? That is contrary to human nature.

Moreover, he also liked the child Wu Zhuan very much. This kid had just learned arithmetic for a few days with him, and he actually considered the issue of pressure? This made him feel very friendly.

In the "Four Corner First Love" of Gou Zuozi, Sang Wazi, Wu Zhuan and Cao'er, he will remain neutral. These three kids are all people they love. It's not a bad thing for anyone to get Cao'er's heart. It depends on whether they have the ability.

I didn't want to destroy such a beautiful scene. I turned around and walked out of the village, Meilin, and called Nie Zhu. Bai Dong was about to go to the construction site of Fengming Academy. School was about to start after the New Year, so I was still a little worried if I didn't go and take a look.

***

Wei Yang jumped off the carriage and looked up at Fengming Academy that was under construction.

Since entering Qin Dynasty, I have heard that the name of the academy has been busy with the establishment, debate and implementation of the new law, and cannot leave here. Today, I went to Baijiazhuang and ended up missing out. I had to come here to find Bai Dong and feast my eyes.

Is this the power of business? It is obviously in winter, but the construction site is still prosperous. Hundreds of workers are working hard. The first phase of the project has entered the completion stage. How long has it been, two months or three months?

Shaking his head gently, Wei Yang looked at the periphery of Fengming Academy. Two or three-story buildings have been built here, not arranged in rows like the houses in Liyang City, but divided into communities.

Each community has brought about living water to form a lake, and various tree cultivation, and there are large open spaces among the trees. It seems to be used to plant grass. It is conceivable that in the coming spring season, there will be green forests, green grass, blooming flowers, and elegant houses stretching to the top of Taigong Mountain in a step-like shape. They are hidden in the forest in a scattered manner, occasionally revealing a corner of the eaves. The roof is paved with not ordinary Qin tiles, so why does it still shine in the sun? What is pasted outside the wall? It looks like ultra-thin Qin bricks, but it seems to be exquisite porcelain produced by the Bai family...

The building materials are novel, the layout of the house community is novel, and even the house shape is completely different from the ancient and square palaces of Lao Qin. It looks small and exquisite, and the weather is novel. Wei Yang dares to bet that he has never seen such a house shape in any country.

This is Bai Zi's ingenuity? I heard that he had never invested a penny in building this Fengming Academy. The only thing he was responsible for was the magical "clay". As long as he added a proper amount of water and river sand, he could closely bond the Qin bricks, as if they were one, and they were as strong as gold and stone! Even such a magical thing could be invented. What else could this person not do? Will the Legal scholar Wei Yang, or the Gaodi of Qingxi, Bai Zi, who was the first magical method of Lao Qin?

"I saw it? This is the power of business, and he has the ability to apply this power to the extreme..."

Jing Jian then jumped out of the car, walked behind Wei Yang with a smile, and looked at Fengming Academy and Fengming Beppu that were being built. He was very obsessed with: "I like the house here very much. I should ask Ping Anlang for one in the future. It's intoxicating to think about it. The water is gurgling, the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant. After getting up every day, you can hear the sound of reading... Unfortunately, Ping Anlang said that the houses here must be sold seriously. Unless they are willing to come to the college to learn, the world's Xuezong will get gifts, otherwise no one will give them for free..."

"With Bai Zi's magical means, I'm afraid Fengming Academy will really become the number one institution in the world. At that time, the price of Fengming Villa...tsk tsk..."

Wei Yang shook his head slightly, but his eyes were shining.

He did not know about business. When preparing the new law clause of "respecting agriculture and suppressing commerce", he had studied the business situation of various countries in depth. Qi and Chu would not talk about it. These two are old-fashioned countries. Chu merchants communicated with Bashu, Qi merchants ran out of Shandong, and even the land of the Three Jins was prosperous. Speaking of which, Lao Qin was the country with the most backward business development. The Yongqi Bai family was once known as one of the three major trading companies in the world, but unfortunately that was already a thing of the past. It was the era of Mu Gong Baili Xi. Lao Qin and Jin exchanged extensive business exchanges. The Bai family started due to the situation. Now, after more than two hundred years, the Yongqi Bai family has long been worse than before and has become a residual flower in autumn.

When he wanted to "focus on agriculture and suppress commerce", he actually saw through Lao Qin's lack of commercial heritage. His country's strength was poor and weak. Instead of spending energy to open up a business path, it was far better to pay attention to the rapid development of agricultural military force. Moreover, Bai Dong rose rapidly and could afford a million yuan of gold to "smash" Nan Mo to death, which made him secretly alert. After all, what he really pursued was absolute control over Lao Qin. Only in this way could he ensure the smooth success of the reform and realize his ideal.

If he didn't want to be a round of fights, Bai Dong convinced him. Not only did he agree to the wrong strategy of "focusing agriculture and suppressing commerce" and he also saw a reality clearly. If he wanted to control Lao Qin, he must first obtain Bai Dong's support, otherwise he would be unable to move forward in Lao Qin! If a person can make the world's industrial and commercial construction academy for him without spending a penny, the other can invent the magical object of "public plough" at will, and if he is less than a year old, he can be included in the Ying family precepts. Can he be provoked?

If you can't afford to offend this person, you should find a way to understand him, get close to him, and be his friend. Wei Yang is not stupid, and he is also very smart. If he was rejected by Bai Dong for three days when he first entered Qin State and had a slight dissatisfaction with victory, he is now fully mature and knows what he should do and what he shouldn't do.

When he walked into the construction site, Wei Yang stopped beside several masons, nodded at them and smiled: "Brothers, is this the Bai family clay? Can I take a look?"

"Haha, this is not called clay, it is called lime soil. But it is very magical. When we were working in Jixia Academy, the palace walls were mostly made of rammed earth. Even if we used bricks, we had to use good grass-ash clay mixed with glutinous rice juice to bond. It was too expensive... Now with this lime soil, adding some water and river sand can bond the bricks, and it became as hard as a stone day and night. Not to mention that the gentleman was curious, our prince had seen it several times, but he just couldn't figure out how this thing was made..."

"Is that true?"

Wei Yang grabbed a handful of lime soil and looked at it. It was white in the gray, and it seemed nothing special. He walked to the newly built house and clenched the bricks with his fingers a few times. As expected, it was as hard as iron. He was immediately delighted. If there was such a fast thing, wouldn’t it be a slight effort to build a house? In the future, if the State Government wanted to persuade the old Qin people to move to open up land, it would be easier?

The thing Bai Dong made was not simple lime, but the second burning of the fired lime and clay was the most primitive cement; let alone the layman Wei Yang, even a big expert like Yan An could not understand it. After pestering him a few times, he was considered to have obtained the agency rights of the Qi State of "cement". Although there was no need to make money, the original share of Fengming Villa was reduced by half, which made Yan An feel very painful.

"Haha, shouldn't Zuo Shuchang be busy preparing for reforms? Why do you have time to come to me? Are you also interested in my 'lime soil'?"

Bai Dong saw Wei Yang and Jing Jian from afar and walked over with a smile. He was about to ask Wei Yang for discussion. Since he met him here, he would not have to choose another time.

"Bai Zi's actions are unexpected. What a magical 'lime soil'... Wei Yang worships it."

Wei Yang politely said: "Yang came here for reform, and he also wanted to ask Bai Zi to help him. Bai Zi was Yang's benefactor, so he wouldn't be cruel to reject Yang, right?"

"It's probably because the Lord asked you to come to me again, right? I'm probably in trouble again when you come. Well... Since I'm here, let's take a look at Fengming Academy first. It just so happens that I have something to make things difficult for you. Let's talk about it while walking?"

"Dare not obeying the order... I just don't know how Bai Zi is going to make things difficult for Yang?"

Wei Yang's heartbeat was a little faster. It would be fine if this benefactor is not difficult for him to be a human being. If he makes things difficult for him, it would probably be a huge trouble...
