Just when Jiang Guanjun presided over the "Zhuang Committee Meeting", Zhao Yun, who was in charge of the town committee work, came to the "Carpentry Bureau".

Chang'an Town now has five carpenters.

In addition to the original brothers Chen Fu and Chen Gui from Jiangjia Village, there are also Carpenter Huang and Carpenter Zhang who moved from other villages, as well as Carpenter Zhang's apprentice Liu Xiaohei.

Zhao Yun took out his "Summary of the Dragon and Snake Cart" and unfolded it for the carpenters to see.

"Our town is in urgent need of a dragon-snake chariot. Please work hard these days and make it as soon as possible according to the drawings."

These rural carpenters usually only make tables, chairs, beds and the like. Such complex equipment is simply unheard of. At the moment, everyone is looking around the books with great interest.

At first, the carpenters thought that the dragon-snake cart was an ingenious design, but after reading it, they suddenly felt that it was just that. They just couldn't think of this idea on ordinary days.

"How about it? It's not difficult, right?"

Zhao Yun laughed and said, "It's not difficult to do it, but it's not difficult to do it. Everyone, work harder and build it as soon as possible."

Chen Fu patted his chest and said, "Commissioner Zhao, don't worry, the five of us are working hard day and night and we promise to build it within five days."

"Three days!"

Zhao Yun stretched out three fingers and said, "Our golden dragon is hanging on the city wall. Now there are more and more merchants coming and going outside the city. If we transport this sacred object into the city as soon as possible, we will feel at ease as soon as possible."

"Oh well!"

The carpenters could only grit their teeth and agree, "We will sleep less these days, stay up late and try to build it in three days."

Zhao Yun added: "Don't worry, I won't make the task more difficult for you. I will go to the Firearms Bureau to transfer Blacksmith Jiang and Blacksmith Wang to help you."

"That's great. We really need the blacksmith's help." The carpenters said one after another.

Zhao Yun added: "I am now making a decision on behalf of the mayor. If you build a dragon-snake chariot within three days, the town committee will reward each person with one tael of silver."

Several carpenters suddenly screamed excitedly: "Commissioner Zhao, please tell the mayor and let him take charge. Don't worry, we will definitely build the dragon-snake car within three days."

After assigning the task to the carpenter, Zhao Yun rushed to the Firearms Bureau to explain the situation to Director Gao Dabeard, and seconded Jiang Yimu and Wang Tiejiang to the Carpentry Bureau to help.

Hearing that he wanted to help build the dragon-snake chariot and try to transport the golden dragon on the city wall into the warehouse as soon as possible, Gao Dabeard agreed without hesitation.

"There is no need to rush into making firearms. There is no need to delay in making a dragon-snake chariot. Brother Jiang and Brother Wang will follow Commissioner Zhao to the woodworking bureau to help, right?"

As an old man in Jiangjia Village, Jiang Yimu is quite prestigious. Even a tall man with a beard wants to give him a thumbs up and ask for advice on everything.

"It's great to build a dragon-snake chariot. This is something we can't refuse!"

Jiang Yimou dropped the survival plan in his hand and immediately prepared to go to the carpentry bureau.

A tael of silver reward doesn't matter. If you can learn how to make a dragon-snake chariot, that will be a meaningful thing.

Zhu Renxia got off the city wall and strolled to the warehouse. When passing by the commercial street, he happened to bump into Jin Zhu's father, Doctor Jin.

It turned out that he was planning to take three apprentices out to the mountains to collect herbs. All four masters and apprentices were carrying bamboo baskets on their backs.

"Good morning, Mr. Jin!"

Zhu Renxia bent down and bowed, greeted with a smile on his face, and showed the greatest respect to this old doctor in his sixties.

"Haha...Hello, Mayor Zhu!"

Doctor Jin returned the favor with a smile, "The weather is warm today, so I took the students up the mountain to collect medicine."

The oldest of these three students is thirty years old, and the youngest is sixteen years old. They are all students accepted by Imperial Physician Jin after he came to Chang'an Town.

"After you went out, was Mrs. Qin attending the clinic at home?" Zhu Renxia guessed.

Imperial Physician Jin nodded: "It's Xianglian who's here for the consultation. Although she's a female, she's very skilled in art and is especially good at treating trauma, which I admire very much. With her here, most difficult and complicated diseases will definitely be cured."

Zhu Renxia agreed with a smile: "Okay, okay, okay... We have a medical leader like Imperial Physician Jin in Chang'an Town, and a Xinglin Sage like Mrs. Qin. We will definitely be free from disease and disaster, and live a long and healthy life."

"Haha... A doctor has the heart of a parent, and the mayor's words are what I wish!"

Imperial Physician Jin stroked his gray beard, leaned on his cane, and said goodbye.

Zhu Renxia warned: "Yang Yinglong has launched an army to rebel, and Guizhou is about to be in chaos. Imperial Physician Jin and your disciples must not go far, be careful of military disaster."

Doctor Jin smiled and said: "Don't worry, the mayor. The four of us, master and apprentice, are wandering around the nearby mountains and picking some commonly used herbs. We won't wander around."

Zhu Renxia saw that two of the three apprentices of Imperial Physician Jin were relatively strong, and patted them on the shoulders and said: "After you go out, go to the school grounds to find Miss Jin, and get two crossbows to defend yourself in case there are wild beasts on the mountain."

"Thank you, mayor."

The three students bowed together and thanked each other, then each carried a bamboo basket and followed the footsteps of Imperial Physician Jin towards the city gate.

After watching Imperial Physician Jin and others leave, Zhu Renxia stepped into the "Chang'an Medical Center" located at the edge of the commercial street.

I saw a woman in the hall holding an eight-year-old child for medical treatment. The child had been suffering from diarrhea since yesterday. At this moment, Qin Xianglian was checking the child's pulse.

"Haha... Thank you for your hard work, madam." Zhu Renxia greeted with a smile.

Qin Xianglian smiled and nodded: "The woman is checking the child's pulse. Please forgive me for being rude."

"Mrs.-in-law is just busy, I'm just taking a look."

Zhu Changan walked around the medical center with a smile. He saw the spotlessly wiped medicine cabinet and was very satisfied with the partnership between Imperial Physician Jin and Qin Xianglian.

With their meticulous spirit, the medical health of the people in Chang'an Town will be guaranteed to the greatest extent.

After chatting with Qin Xianglian for a few words, Zhu Renxia turned around and left, continuing along the road paved with bluestones in the center of the town.

"At the beginning of human beings, their natures are good, their natures are similar, but their habits are far apart..."

"If you don't teach, your nature will change. The most important thing to teach is to be specialized..."

"The Master said: Isn't it a joy to learn and practice from time to time..."

"The Master said: If you review the old and learn the new, you can become a teacher!"

The sound of children reading loudly came from the "Chang'an College" on the street, which attracted Mayor Zhu to stop and walk into the yard with his hands behind his back.

This school currently has 120 children aged eight to fourteen, divided into three classes: junior class, intermediate class, and advanced class, with about forty students in each class.

After Chen Zhili and Yan Wen were ordered to go out to buy paintings and calligraphy, the burden of teaching and educating fell on Xu Youliang's head.

Fortunately, the fifteen-year-old Qi Lingwei volunteered herself. Later, a failed scholar, Zhang Shusheng, came to the town, and the normal operation of the college was ensured.

Thanks to the lack of mathematics, English and other subjects these days, the children only need to learn literacy and arithmetic, and the three teachers can barely keep up.

"Mayor, are you here?"

Seeing the sudden arrival of the mayor, Xu Youliang, who was teaching an advanced class, hurriedly threw down the textbooks in his hands and rushed out of the classroom with rapid strides.

"I'm interrupting Teacher Xu's class." Zhu Renxia smiled and said, "How are you? Are there any difficulties in the academy?"

"Um……"

Xu Youliang pondered for a moment and said: "There are three children in the junior class who squeeze into one table. In addition, there are more than a dozen new children in the intermediate class and advanced class. There are not enough tables and chairs at all. Please give the mayor more time." Can the masters from the Carpentry Bureau help us build some tables and chairs for our college?"

"good."

Zhu Renxia agreed immediately, "Within ten days, I will ask the Woodworking Bureau to build fifty tables and chairs for you."

"Thank you, mayor."

Xu Youliang bowed his head and thanked him, "A young man named Xie Yangxin who recently moved here is very knowledgeable. I would like to invite him to teach in the college. What does the mayor think?"

"What our Chang'an Town is lacking now is talents who can read and write. Not only is it short of teachers, but the town committee is also short of manpower. If Xie Yangxin is really knowledgeable, he will naturally be put to good use, so let him teach with you first!"

"Thank you, Mayor, for your care." Xu Youliang bowed to express his thanks again, "How will the wages be settled? I'll tell him in advance."

"Same as Zhang Shusheng, one tael of silver per month. In addition, you can get work points for teaching children on time every day. You can use your work points to go to the warehouse to exchange for various supplies at any time."

"Okay, Mayor, with such generous treatment, I believe Xie Yangxin will happily agree."

At this moment, Qi Lingwei, who was in charge of teaching the junior class, put down her textbooks and walked out of the church to say hello.

"Lingwei has met the mayor."

Qi Lingwei bowed and saluted, showing a sweet smile. With her fair skin, she looked elegant and full of youthful vitality.

Zhu Renxia smiled and signaled to the little girl that there was no need to be polite: "Haha... I haven't seen you for half a month. Lingwei has grown taller again and has become a big girl!"

Qi Lingwei laughed at herself: "Who says it's not the case? Being with these little brats every day makes me feel like I'm getting old!"

"That's what the little girl said."

Zhu Renxia couldn't help but patted the back of the little girl's head, "You are the beauty of our town in Chang'an, how can you say that you are old? Unfortunately, there are no outstanding young people of your age in our town, otherwise I would be the matchmaker. It’s done!”

Qi Lingwei curled her lips and said: "I don't want to get married, I like to teach children to read and read. Besides, I am not the town beauty. The most beautiful people in Chang'an Town are Sisters Axiu and Jinzhu. They are the town flowers. "

"Haha... What a silly girl. Who said you can't teach your children to read when you're married?"

Zhu Renxia smiled and waved, turned and left the college: "I won't disturb you and continue with the class. I'm leaving!"
