With a million soldiers, the empress begged me not to rebel

He immediately ordered the cancellation of the merchant's qualification to participate in the competition and imposed a heavy fine as a warning to others.

During the competition selection stage, all kinds of imaginative products emerged one after another, which opened Lu Yan's eyes.

In the end, Chen Aniu's wood carving won the championship with its exquisite craftsmanship and unique creativity.

Lu Yan personally presented the award to Chen Aniu and announced it on the spot.

Shannan Prefecture will vigorously support Chen Aniu's wood carving business and make it a business card of Shannan Prefecture.

The "Shannan Good Things" competition was successfully held.

It not only stimulated the people's enthusiasm for innovation, but also injected new vitality into the commercial development of Shannan Prefecture.

After Chen Aniu's wood carving won the championship, he became famous and orders came in like snowflakes.

Lu Yan did not stop there. He knew very well that a person's power was ultimately limited.

In order to truly prosper the economy of Shannan Prefecture, we need more skilled craftsmen like Chen Aniu.

By chance, Lu Yan discovered a new type of ship while inspecting the dock.

This type of ship is extremely fast and has a shallow draft.

Even in rivers with low water levels, you can travel smoothly.

After asking, Lu Yan learned that this type of ship was designed and manufactured by Chen Aniu.

It turns out that in addition to his superb wood carving skills, Chen Aniu is also quite knowledgeable about shipbuilding.

He draws on his understanding of wood and his fine craftsmanship.

A new type of boat was designed and named "Flying Fish".

When Lu Yan saw the "flying fish", his eyes lit up.

He realized that such a ship could be used not only for civilian transport but also for military purposes.

So he found Chen Aniu.

I hope he can participate in the manufacturing of Shannan Prefecture’s naval warships.

Chen Aniu accepted it with pleasure.

He combined the design concept of "Flying Fish" and referred to the advantages of other warships.

Started designing new warships for the Shannan Prefecture Navy.

After Chen Aniu got busy, Lu Yan was finally able to get away from his busy official duties.

Start paying attention to other aspects of Shannan Prefecture.

The newly built school is one of them.

This school was built by Lu Yan himself, with the original intention of cultivating talents.

Lay the foundation for the long-term development of Shannan Prefecture.

However, when Lu Yan stepped into the school gate, the scene he saw surprised him.

There was no sound of reading aloud, but there was the sound of snoring coming one after another.

The teacher was reciting the Four Books and Five Classics while shaking his head.

The students below were nodding their heads like chicks pecking at rice, looking drowsy.

"Is this... is this a school or a hypnosis center?"

Lu Yan muttered to himself, his brows furrowed so tightly that they could kill a fly.

He coughed lightly and walked to the podium.

The old man then noticed Lu Yan and bowed quickly:

"The prefect has come, and I apologize for not welcoming you from afar. Please forgive me!"

Lu Yan waved his hand, signaling him to continue, while he sat aside and observed.

But this old man's lectures are really hypnotic.

Lu Yan was almost falling asleep while listening, not to mention the children.

"Stop!" Lu Yan finally couldn't bear it anymore.

"Sir, the way you lecture is so good, even Confucius would crawl out of his grave and beat you up!"

The old man shuddered with fear, his face turned pale:

"Your Excellency the Prefect, your humble servant...your humble servant..."

Lu Yan sighed. This old man was also a pitiful man.

I guess this is the only way I will teach for the rest of my life.

An idea struck him, and he said:

"How about this, I'll take this class today!"

He took the book from the old man and flipped through it.

It was all a bunch of nonsense, which gave him a headache.

Lu Yan simply closed the book and said:

"Today, we won't be studying the Four Books and Five Classics. Let's learn arithmetic!"

The students below immediately became excited, their eyes widened, and they looked at Lu Yan curiously.

Lu Yan started with the simplest addition, subtraction, multiplication and division.

In order to make it easier for children to understand, he also gave many examples in life.

For example, he pointed at a student and asked:

"Xiao Hu, you bought two vegetable buns this morning, each costing three cents. How much did you spend in total?"

Xiaohu scratched his head, counted on his fingers for a long time, and then answered:

"Six coins!"

"bingo!"

Lu Yan smiled and nodded.

"That's addition! So if you have ten cents and buy two vegetable buns, how much money will be left?"

This time, Xiaohu calculated even faster:

"Four coins!"

"Not bad!" Lu Yan praised.

"That's subtraction! How about it? Isn't it simple?"

The children nodded and smiled.

Lu Yan continued to explain multiplication and division.

The explanation is also combined with practical issues such as the prices of goods in the market and family expenses.

Let the children master basic arithmetic knowledge in a relaxed and happy atmosphere.

After the class, the children listened with great interest and the classroom atmosphere was lively.

It was in stark contrast to his previous drowsy state.

After class, Lu Yan had another discussion with the teachers.

Point out the shortcomings in their teaching methods.

And encourage them to combine knowledge with real life to make it more practical and easy to understand.

"You teach and educate people, and you have a great responsibility!"

Lu Yanyu said seriously.

"We can't just focus on reading from textbooks; we need to ensure that children actually learn useful knowledge."

“Only then can we contribute to the development of Shannan Prefecture in the future!”

At the same time, Lu Yan also discovered that the county was short of educational resources.

Refugees from Central China migrated here, and many children from poor families were unable to go to school.

He decided to follow the nine-year compulsory education system of his previous life.

Establish free compulsory education to ensure that all children have the opportunity to receive education.

“Education is a long-term plan. No matter how hard it is, we must not let our children suffer, and no matter how poor we are, we must not let our education suffer!”

Lu Yan secretly made up his mind to improve the education in Shannan Prefecture!

at the same time.

The warhorse under Chen Qingwan's crotch was foaming at the mouth, and its four hooves were trembling as if it was almost exhausted.

She herself was not much better off, with tattered clothes and dusty clothes, looking like a beggar fleeing from disaster.

To avoid the armies of Northern Xiang and Java.

She had to take a detour, and the journey that was supposed to take two days ended up taking three days.

Three days! Three days without a drop of water or a grain of rice, even the strongest man can't stand it!

Chen Qingwan had only one thought at this moment:

When he met Lu Yan, he asked him to release the people and save the people of the capital from danger.

Finally, the towering city gate of Shannan Prefecture appeared before our eyes.

Chen Qingwan was delighted and squeezed the horse's belly hard, causing the warhorse to let out a mournful cry.

He barely took a few steps forward before falling headfirst to the ground.

"Damn beast!"

Chen Qingwan cursed softly, dismounted, and staggered towards the city gate.

What surprised her was that the gates of Shannan Prefecture were wide open.

There was no war as expected, and no displaced refugees.

The city was filled with singing and dancing, and the voices of vendors were heard.

The sounds of children playing are endless, creating a prosperous scene.

This...how is this possible?

The capital city is almost razed to the ground, how can Shannan Prefecture still be so peaceful?
