Lan Tian looked at the drawings and nodded without answering. The old man with white hair and boyish face in the room then brought a glass of water.

"Please use it, Mr. Fu." The old man handed the water to Lantian.

Lan Tian took the water glass and took a sip, then gently placed it on the big table in front of him. The old man turned around and poured water for Xu Shu.

Xu Shu was surprised. This old man was quite old, so why was he waiting on people at the construction site? He seemed to know Lantian very well.

When the old man brought the water back and approached Xu Shu, his soles suddenly slipped and his body leaned forward, looking like he was about to fall.

"careful."

Seeing this, Xu Shu hurriedly stepped forward to help him. As a result, the water in the cup splashed on Xu Shu's left sleeve during the collision. Fortunately, the opponent used his strength to stand on one foot and did not fall to the ground.

The old man stood up straight and held his hands in his hands to accuse: "Old man is rude...Old man is rude..."

Lan Tian frowned and seemed to be trying to excuse the old man, "Why are you so careless? Quickly wipe it clean with a cloth?"

"only."

"No need..." Xu Shu was about to refuse, but found that the old man seemed to be prepared, and then took out a dry cloth from his sleeve.

"Please forgive me..." After the old man bowed and saluted, he first grabbed Xu Shu's wrist with his right hand, and wiped it on the sleeve of his robe with the patch in his left hand.

Seeing the old man's slow movements, Xu Shu said with some embarrassment: "Although it is winter, the weather in Guangzhou is warm. Let's dry it outside for a while. The old man should be busy with his own business."

The old man glanced at Lan Tian, ​​who nodded in agreement: "Then let's go now. We'll go to other courtyards while it's still early to see if there's anything that needs improvement."

Xu Shu nodded to the old man and then followed Lan Tian out of the construction site.

"Is Guangzhou Academy full of students? Why did Ziyu build another academy?" Xu Shu asked curiously.

"Mr. Cheng Guo (Liu Xi) could not select more than a hundred people. With the scale of Guangzhou Academy, it is easy to accommodate two thousand." Lan Tian was a little proud.

"Then why did you..." Xu Shu was even more confused.

Lantian explained: "Now that papermaking and printing are very mature, there will be no obstacles to writing books and teaching them. Guangzhou Academy mainly teaches classics, meaning, literature and history, but Quanling Academy's craftsmanship subjects, agricultural subjects, and medical subjects can all be used."

Establish an independent college and establish a school.”

Xu Shu stroked his beard and said: "No wonder you named this area the Cultural and Educational District. It seems that Ziyu has made up his mind to run a school. It is indeed suitable for Jiaozhou to have no aristocratic family to obstruct it. Which subject was the construction site just now?"

"That is the construction site of the medical school. Mr. Zhong Jing's "Treatise on Febrile and Miscellaneous Diseases" and Mr. Hua Tuo's upcoming "Qing Nang Shu" all need to be disseminated through positive channels." Lan Tian replied.

Xu Shu was startled when he heard about the medical school. He always thought something was strange.

"Block printing is indeed convenient and fast, but it also has obvious shortcomings. If there is a slight change, the entire page must be replaced. Printed books can be used repeatedly, which is particularly troublesome for the Yangtze River News, which changes editions every month..." Xu Shu started.

topic.

Lan Tian smiled slightly: "Just change the dead characters on the plate into movable type. I have taught Jiang Gongyan the specific method. When the workshop here completes the improvement of movable type, I will send a movable type template to Jiangling."

"Movable type? It means it can be used repeatedly? Ziyu's thinking is faster than Shu's. If he can really make a movable type template, Ma Jichang can save a lot of carving and wood." Xu Shu said happily.

Lan Tian nodded awkwardly. Whether it was engraving or movable type, he had taken advantage of historical experience.

"Sir." Gao Yuan trotted and followed him.

Xu Shu just noticed Gao Yuan leaving the team. He looked at the construction site behind and asked curiously: "What did General Gao do?"

"Uh... I ate too much in the morning and felt a little uncomfortable in my stomach, so I found a place where no one was around..." Gao Yuan answered, touching his chest.

Xu Shu held his breath with confusion on his face, thinking to himself, why are you covering your chest if you feel uncomfortable in your abdomen?

Later, when visiting another hospital, Gao Yuan handed a note to Lan Tian and asked in a low voice: "Commander Xu is so shy about medicine, I'm afraid he may not be willing to take this medicine. It's a pity that Mr. Xu is prepared to do it."

"From Yuan to Xiao, the rest can be left to Mother Xu. Whether it succeeds or not depends on God's will." Lan Tian shook his head slightly.

Although Xu Shu had been to Quanling before, he never had a chance to meet Hua Tuo. They didn't know each other at the construction site just now. Xu Shu mistakenly thought that Hua Tuo was an ordinary old man, and Hua Tuo only knew that the visitor was a friend of Dr. Lantian.

.

Hua Tuo has been practicing Wu Qin Xi for many years. Even if he really loses his center of gravity, he can still stand on his own with the golden rooster. His physical contact with Xu Shu is purely to feel the pulse and observe the qi.

Xu Shu predicted that Lantian would take him to see Hua Tuo, but he did not expect that Lantian predicted his prediction and ultimately set the trap at the construction site.

In early February of the 22nd year of Jian'an, the peach trees in Lantian's garden were in full bloom. Xu Shu's mother and son were preparing to return to Jiangling. They had lived in Guangzhou for two months and it was time to return to Jiangling to handle military affairs.

Before leaving, Xu Shu asked Lan Ji: "Zhongling, do you want to return to Jiangling with me?"

Lan Ji shook his head and replied: "My mother has been teaching me and my eldest brother the halberd technique recently. We will go to Jiangling after we have learned it in a few months."

"I hope you can drop by."

Gao Shun clasped his fists and explained: "Zhongling will be handed over to Jiangzhou for half a year and Jiangling will be half a year later. I will send him there in person in a few months."

Xu Shu nodded, "We need someone to escort us along the way. Cao Cao and Sun Quan are at war in Ruxu. If a bandit ship flows into the Yangtze River and causes trouble, we will be in trouble."

"If this is the case, I will settle the score with Gan Xingba. The presence of bandits on the Yangtze River is due to his dereliction of duty." Gao Shun responded with a smile.

Lan Tian quickly interrupted: "What Bo Ping said is serious. Don't say it can't happen. Even if Xing Ba is really derelict in his duties, the general should be held accountable."

"Uh... I forgot that he is now under General Guan..." Gao Shun scratched his head and smiled bitterly.

Lan Tian took Xu Shu's hand and said, "I'll go to the pier to see you off. I've also prepared a portion of abalone and seafood for Jiang Ling. Go back and distribute it properly. Don't imitate Kong Ming's practice of making white strips."

"Last time Uncle Yiji left, Ziyu prepared two boats of seafood, and now there are still more to send to Jiangling?" Xu Shu was very curious.

"Yuan Zhi, don't underestimate this sea. There are too many treasures in it. As long as we don't collect too much, there will be endless supplies." Lan Tian believes that with the current level of technology, there is no ability to carry out over-fishing.

"I really agree with that sentence, you can rely on mountains and mountains to rely on water to eat water..." Xu Shu sighed softly.

Because Xu Shu and her son were just on vacation, they didn't bring any luggage at all. The carriage headed south along Fengchu Street, which is the busiest craftsman and trading area in Guangzhou.

The craftsmen's district on the right is billowing with smoke, the trading district on the left is noisy and busy, the sentry booths on the street maintain order, and Pound's cavalry is patrolling, which is a beautiful picture of the world of fireworks.

Xu's mother lowered the car curtain and said solemnly: "Mr. Ziyu is really talented in helping the world. When Yuan Zhi has children, I will move here and settle down. In the future, my grandchildren will study at the Mongolian School and the Guangzhou Academy. It will be great."
