In fact, for most people, this is a good thing, but even so, in the long run, the food in this Jinling City will always run out one day. Not to mention...... Now that the city gate is closed, it is not easy for people from all over Jinling to come to the city to trade. Fruits, vegetables, and meat, in addition to grain, are also decreasing......

Therefore, some people attribute the sudden opening of the city gate to the problem of "surplus food".

In fact, with the grain stored in Jinling City, even if it is distributed to the people in the city for free, it is enough to last for half a year. The issue of surplus grain is simply nonsense. However, the shortage of fruits, vegetables and meat is real.

Shi Yuan's strong means, although it is for the good of most people, still offended many people. Needless to say, there are many landlords and big families in the city.

These large families have enough food in their homes to use it in times of turmoil. He did this, although he did not target these big families, but it made them feel threatened. And the news of this lack of food came from these people with ulterior motives.

This was nothing, and Brother Shi was even a little grateful to these people. If it weren't for them, the people of this city would not have dared to go out. But as the news became more and more intense, Brother Shi felt a little difficult...... If there's chaos in the city, it's not good!

So, he wrote another notice, the content of which was very simple: there was plenty of surplus food in the city, and the opening of the city was only for normal trade in the surrounding areas, and if anyone dared to spread rumors, he should be severely punished!

And with the posting of the notice, after arresting a few "unbelievers" in public, the news was finally suppressed in the city. On the day of the opening of the city, Jinling City entered the previous prosperity. Among the counties around Jinling City, there are still many merchants who have been disturbed by the Qinglian Sect, and they are all looking forward to this day. Although it was possible to enter the city before, it was not as direct as the city gate opened now......

However, Brother Shi is still very careful, the Qinglian Sect is powerful in the land south of the Yangtze River, and now opening the city gate like this, although it can allow the trade in the city to circulate, it can create opportunities for Shen Wei...... But the risks are still great!

From the number of people entering the city to the number of people leaving the city, strict control has been carried out. He even deliberately set up a trading area outside the city, where people in the city could go out and merchants could trade outside the city...... In short, for this matter, Shi Yuan can be said to have taken great pains...... This time the city gate was opened, and it could not be closed casually.

The Qinglian Sect is far away in the hinterland of the south of the Yangtze River, and it will take a long time to capture Jinling. The only thing that needs to be dealt with is the north, and after the matter of the refugees in Yangzhou in the north is resolved, it is not a big problem to occupy Yangzhou in the name of General Pingnan...... In this way, there is no need to scare yourself at all. As long as you are more careful, not to mention the intelligence network established by Shen Wei and Baihua before. If there is a change, it will only take a moment to make adjustments......

Chengdong Street, which was previously called Huangquan Road, is now indescribably lively. From the street entrance to the prefect's mansion, all the original government offices have been changed into Baiye Academy. And the management system in the city, Brother Shi has also made all adjustments, from the public security in charge of public security in the city to the industrial and commercial ...... in charge of merchants Although many things have not yet been implemented, the departments that should be in place are already in place.

Lin Mubai originally thought that he would work very hard as the prefect of Jinling, but when he asked Shi Yuan to do this, he found that it was quite easy. His daily duty is nothing more than to come to the prefect's office to review and supervise. This made him feel that something was really wrong, but after looking for Shi Yuan, he understood: this is just now, one day in the future, this Jinling City will no longer be a small city, but a city, and he has to do it, but there is still a lot to ...... Things like urban planning that he didn't understand at all.

Lin Mubai always felt that this Shi Yuan was not simple, so he was relieved to hand over his only son Lin Xu to him. And after a few days of contact with him, I found out...... This stone is far more than simple! Although there were many things that he didn't understand, and even felt a little incredible, Shi Yuan was gradually turning these things into reality.

Because the prefect's mansion is not far from Baiye Academy, Lin Mubai often goes to see it. Although everything in this academy is still very simple, the adjustment plan is very clear. When he hadn't seen Shi Yuan before, he couldn't imagine that things like arithmetic and building a house could actually become a discipline! And after seeing Shi Yuan again, that's what he did!

Coming to Baiye Academy every day is now Brother Shi's daily "task". Although he had already written "textbooks" for various disciplines before, and Guo Renjie had printed a lot, the content on it still needed him to guide these gentlemen who teach.

In fact, the things he wrote were very simple, they were all in the vernacular, and he also asked for teaching in the vernacular. As long as the teacher is smart enough, there is no problem at all with learning and teaching. But this kind of thing is not as simple as reading from the book, not to mention, it is difficult enough to get these people to accept these things!

Brother Shi himself didn't know how much change this would bring, but it was better than nothing, and teaching these principles and common sense would always have some effect. Today may be the last day for him to come here, because tomorrow he will need to gather his troops and march to Yangzhou...... It is really a difficult thing to push the progress of history!

He is not an expert in education, and in the face of this seemingly unenlightened crowd, he is a bit of a tiger who can't put his mouth shut. These days, mathematics is mainly taught. Although biology, physics, chemistry ...... These subjects have already been offered, and what can be done is just to teach people basic common sense. It is only after these people have learned the basic calculations that they can teach deeper things.

It's really difficult to get a liberal arts student to do this kind of thing.

Now there are more than 50 people in Baiye Academy, most of whom are children under the age of ten, and there are craftsmen in various industries, and this number continues to increase. After all, it's a little late to teach these things to those stinky scholars in the city. Perhaps, only in the future can we really come up with ideas, or let the things that everyone study make a substantial difference in life...... At that time, they will pay attention to it!

This is a long road, and there is a long way to go. It's not just these people who need to learn, but Brother Shi also needs to constantly explore how to teach it......
