He asked a few people to mount their horses and pass through Nuo Da's workshop area first.
The customers are not professionals either. What secrets can be seen in the workshop area?
Apart from surprise, there is only amazement.
Then, what shocked several people was the doll running all over the floor.
Shen Zhongxiao asked in disbelief with his lips trembling.
"Here... there are more than 20,000 children studying?"
Shen Lin looked slightly more authentic.
"There are more than 3,000 local children."
"The baby was rescued by my nephew from a place where thieves were ravaged by secret agents."
"Nearly twenty-five thousand!"
"It costs me more to raise these orphans than to raise an army."
"This is also the reason why the number of iron troops cannot increase."
What he said was half true and half false.
Shen Lin respects his uncle Shen Zhongxiao from the bottom of his heart.
Whoever treats him well will be treated tenfold.
Shen Zhongxiao looked at the little baby with a rosy face, wearing a thick cotton coat, running around on the floor.
For a moment, the old man covered his face with his hands and burst into tears.
"It's a sin for Da Zhou to come this far!"
"Within less than ten counties fell, your people found so many orphans."
“I don’t know how many people died of cold and hunger!”
Brother Zhou Shangfu was also shocked and speechless.
The impact Shen Lin's workshops and inventions had on them.
It is definitely far inferior to this huge school and the orphans everywhere.
Those high-ranking officials in the imperial court should really come to Lushui.
Open their dog eyes and take a look.
Just when they were drinking and having fun, shouting for peace.
In this great Zhou Dynasty, countless people have lost their families and their families. It is too terrible to see!
Shen Lin led everyone to continue walking to the south gate.
He pointed at the new city wall that was taking shape.
"My nephew has to prepare for a rainy day!"
"Once the bandits capture Xiangzhou, Zhending and other places."
"In the second half of the year, our department will be able to recover no less than 30,000 orphans!"
“The old city really can’t be accommodated anymore.”
"My nephew must...make plans early!"
Shen Zhongxiao wiped away his old tears and praised with red eyes.
"My child, you are doing great good in the world and making great achievements!"
"I am not as good as my generation!"
"good!"
"very good!"
"My Qilin son of the Shen family is indeed extraordinary!"
As a personal guard of the King of Qin, Zhou Shangji's martial arts skills were not mentioned.
But there are many things that he still doesn't understand.
"Master Shen, hey, let's just call you Brother Shen!"
"I'm sorry for you, Zhou, please don't show up."
“Why not take in refugees?”
"If we take the adults and children together, won't we have a source of troops?"
Shen Lin smiled and said nothing, just shook his head slightly.
What you think is too simple.
Shen Shen Si's small mouth narrowed and she criticized mercilessly.
"Fool!"
"You're bringing your whole family here, but you don't need a house to accommodate them?"
"How much space can be saved if seven or eight orphans live in one room?"
"My lord, the consumption will be several times greater, and all the gold and silver will be lost."
"When war breaks out, food is more valuable than silver!"
"The most important thing is that children are easy to manage."
"Adults have all kinds of ideas. How can my cousin have the manpower to manage them?"
"Eating too much can kill you by choking!"
Shen Lin couldn't help but look at his little cousin with admiration.
Sure enough, she is indeed a talented girl from our Shen family.
This little brain is spinning so fast.
Shen Zhongxiao muttered.
"Not just those."
"The situation of stabilizing the future is becoming more complicated every day."
"The secret espionage department of the Liao Kingdom, the spies of the bandits, including the Imperial City Department of the Great Zhou Dynasty."
"As well as all kinds of powerful spies, they are all intertwined. Can you tell them clearly?"
"By taking in children around ten years old, the risk is minimized."
"After a few years of training, these children are the most readily available talents."
"Look, King Qin doesn't need to learn anything."
"Shen Lin's move is enough."
All the people present are smart people.
The King of Qin was not poor.
Shen Zhongxiao will also help him secretly.
Is it possible that Shen Zhongxiao's family was the only one who was optimistic about Yang Nianguang among all the civil and military officials in the dynasty?
Of course not only.
The gentry class of this era was closely linked to wealth.
The light cavalry of the Liao people wreaked havoc on Shandong Road, and their destructive power was even greater than that of the bandits in Chanzhou.
The King of Qin wants to imitate Shen Lin and open a big school to take in orphans.
There is no shortage of one hundred thousand or even hundreds of thousands.
It depends on whether he has enough teachers to teach?
Do you have enough financial resources to support it?
Once these dolls grow up, how many loyal and reliable talents and troops will they want?
I spent a lot of money to train him from an early age.
It is countless times more effective than the imperial examination to select scholars.
It's just that no one has ever been willing to pay such a price in the past.
However, in troubled times, this method will not achieve the greatest effect.
There's nothing to see anymore.
Shen Zhongxiao and the Zhou brothers have learned the most effective trick.
Everything else is just the icing on the cake.
Shen Lin's family dinner was very sumptuous.
Both Zhou family members call him brothers, so there is no need to be polite.
There is enough hotpot, beef, mutton and fish tubes.
Eat until you are deep in thought and shouting happily.
Shen Lin smiled.
"Sisi, don't go to Dengzhou with your uncle. That place is more dangerous than ours."
"Both men and women in Tiecheng can be officials!"
"You, a talented little girl, can become our deputy director and help your three sisters-in-law."
"It's more than enough."
Shen Sisi's eyes suddenly shone brightly, and her heart was very excited.
"Really?"
"I have asked Sister-in-law Chu'er."
"Your deputy director here is actually on the same level as Deputy Qianhu."
"The authority and monthly salary are much greater than those of an ordinary county magistrate!"
"Dad, can I stay?"
Shen Zhongxiao drank a cup of Lao Pang's Bamboo Leaf Green with great pleasure.
"If you don't go to Dengzhou, who will take care of me, dad?"
It's difficult to think deeply.
Father and daughter have never been separated for a long time.
The old man's health is not good yet.
Unexpectedly, Shen Zhongxiao smiled cheerfully.
"Hahaha, I'm scaring you."
"Dad is not an old-fashioned person. If you want to serve, there is no place other than your cousin."
"In the whole world, where can I find it?"
"It doesn't matter, Dad and Sister Tian, where are your Uncle Hou and the others!"
"If you really want to stay in the old house, Dad won't worry."
"However, it's not bad to follow your sisters-in-law who are capable of literature and martial arts."
"If you are in the Iron Army, you can find a good man to marry."
"Dad will be even more satisfied!"
Thinking deeply, I felt ashamed.
What about becoming an official?
Why are you trying to get married?
"Dad, you...drank too much!"
"It's all nonsense!"
Everyone at the table couldn't help laughing.
Shen Lin was more serious.
"Sisi, it's not my cousin who's bragging."
"Don't look at the small size of the Iron Army now."
"But, under our command, there are three or five brave generals who are not worthy of any man."
"At least one person can command a hundred thousand soldiers."
