Vol 2 Chapter 1738: : Sharpening

There will be no foreign enemies daring to invade, and there will be no days of war, the war is really over.
People can finally let go of their tense emotions and start facing their own lives.
So many veterans became teachers.
Of course, a place that has experienced many years of war cannot be reconstructed properly all at once, so the school of professorship can only be found in the ruins of many walls that have been reluctantly repaired.
The environment for reading is really not very good, but when Baiye is still in business, it is the thing that Fang Jifan thinks should do to recruit children to study immediately.
A group of bear children who have never read a book is terrible, they are the root cause of disaster.
Therefore, in order to encourage children who come to study, all rations are distributed. Naturally, the appeal of food is very great!
A work shed was also rebuilt. Here, the printing workshop in the northern province of Xishan was established. They searched for old paper, returned it to the furnace, re-engraved the plate, and printed a rough copy of the 'textbook'.
Teachers are veterans who retired from the war. After all, they have to let them find something to do.
All salaries are Daming's treasure.
The supply of canned food can temporarily establish credit for Bao banknotes, and then ... other food and daily necessities are needed to supplement it.
The French did things very neatly, and they soon brought wheat. Of course, the Spaniards wanted to send wheat but they were unavailable. As the most powerful emperor in the sea today, Zhu Houhao sharpened his knife and sharpened his sharp knife. Obviously, a large piece of meat was cut from the Spanish.
Judging from the depressed expression of the Spanish envoy, this time, it may be very painful.
Wheat is also a staple food, and the best use is to make bread.
Fang Jifan is very interested in bread.
You know, the so-called bread in this era is nothing but a dark steamed cake, but if you add some sugar and some yeast, the taste and taste will be completely different.
In the past, sugar was actually a scarce resource in this era.
However, since Lu Song was seized, Daming has had a continuous supply of sugar, and this fleet has brought a lot of sugar, so ... new bread has also begun to market.
Its price is also maintained at a level acceptable to people.
Of course, ordinary bread is still necessary, not everyone is willing to spend money to buy new bread.
Many initiatives have come down, and with food as the anchor, Daming Bao banknotes are beginning to be accepted by more and more people.
With some people taking the lead, people gradually began to get used to trading with treasure notes.
In addition to some relief, the large amount of treasures brought by the fleet can also be used to purchase all commodities anywhere in the northern province.
After experiencing economic crises and wars, the land in the northern provinces was mostly controlled by Xishan, which played a lot of convenience!
……………
The weather was getting colder and colder, but Joseph Jr. came to the school early in the morning.
This is a school transformed from an old church. Because of the war, it is difficult to find the traces of God in the world. After only a few simple repairs, it is used as a school for children.
This is the first time Joseph Jr. has come to school. He has got a humble book and two loaves of bread.
He stuffed the bread in his book bag and, like all children, wore worn clothes and shivered in the winter.
However, with Fang Jifan's attention, the school received a lot of coal supply, and the teachers built a simple stove by themselves, and slowly, the classroom became hot.
Like the father of Joseph Jr., the teacher was a veteran who had served in the Ming army, so he already understood Chinese, but his Dutch was very bad. He only listened and did not write.
Of course, this is the norm in this era.
Even for most people, ordinary people have no language, the language of nobles and civilians is completely different, for teachers who were civilians before the war, he can now teach here, and can get two or two silver salaries every month, I felt very contented.
This salary, according to the current price of food, is extremely reluctant to feed a family.
He was not in a hurry to start teaching children how to write or even to teach children how to pronounce in Chinese.
Although there is a general consensus in the education sector in the Northern Province that people can learn Chinese, which has great benefits for children. After all, if you can have barrier-free communication with the Han businessmen who come here, you can see Knowing the books of the Han people, and even ... being able to understand the Chinese in the official documents is extremely beneficial to one's future development.
What's more, even the treasure notes in their hands are written in Chinese characters.
This teacher is special. He has a grim look. With all the arrogance of all the veterans, he looks at the children on the desk and begins to teach war.
This is a long history of war, from the division of Rome to the war of Goth, to the war of one hundred years, the war of thirty years, the war of seven years, between Britain and France, and between the Holy Roman Empire. There have been repeated wars in the northern province.
For generations, countless wars have never stopped.
How did the fathers and grandparents die, how did the plague caused by the war spread, and then to the crucifixion ...
Joseph Jr.'s eyes widened, his eyes slightly frightened.
"This is what Emperor Daming said."
The words Emperor Daming and Zhenguo Gong have been familiar to many people in the northern provinces, and even Joseph Jr. is clear.
"We don't want this war. The war is over. From today onwards, we will abandon the war. All our future struggles will come from using our own hands in exchange for wealth. Or use us To defend peace. Based on this concept, His Majesty the Emperor will recruit a peace army in the northern province. In the future, we will be stationed in Gibraltar, Egypt, and possibly Austria, with the Ming army, in order to defend peace. We will There is a fleet that defends peace across Europe and guarantees our peace. "
When the teacher said this, his expression was serious, and there was light in his eyes. He was convinced of this.
His Majesty the Emperor trusted only the people of the Northern Province.
At least for the time being, so, although many veterans have retreated, but ... still guarantee a considerable military strength.
He believed any promises made by Emperor Daming, or that it was the grace of Emperor Daming.
Little Joseph and his friends remembered this lesson a lot.
Because ... they also experienced a battle, and after the war, everything started to get better.
Without the war, the once-depressed market became lively. On the way home from school, merchants brought a lot of wood along the way. The men took the hammer, climbed the roof, and began repairing the house!
Every day at noon, a house of a family started to burn smoke, and even some muddy places, workers began to spread gravel, and the road became evener!
Next, a large number of buildings began to be built.
I heard that the French selflessly supported the construction of the northern province. Of course, this was guaranteed by the township government with the Peace Fleet as the bargaining chip.
Therefore ... the new Xishan Bank and Xishan Jianye were reopened here.
All the nobles in Europe seem to have sent people to arrive here. They temporarily succumbed in this broken shop, some people went to the negotiating table, and more people did not even have the qualifications to enter the negotiating table. Outside the Governor's Mansion, anxiously awaited the latest news.
Zhu Houzhao was too lazy to negotiate with others.
Fang Jifan pretended to be ill, and a few servants made by the king of the governor's house carefully served the sick.
So this matter fell on Liu Wenshan and Xu Jing, so they met with foreign envoys from various places every day.
This negotiation is naturally not something that can be negotiated in a few words. The initial agreement was very difficult to formulate, especially when the Habsburg special envoy was the most fierce. Of course, they quit a few times in anger, but quickly I found that no one persuaded them to stay. When others continued to talk with Liu Wenshan and Xu Jing carefully, two days later, they gradually understood the situation, and then they returned to the negotiating table obediently. It has improved a lot.
The agreement included many items, including the number of troops to be abolished to maintain the balance of power, strict regulations on how many warships can be built at most, and even the requirement that the enslaved people should be allowed to leave the sovereignty.
One of the most harmful is Habsburg.
Through marriage, Habsburg's territory occupies almost half of Europe.
This is equivalent to ... The Emperor Daming used a hammer to knock them apart.
Under the title of the Holy Roman Empire alone ~ EbookFREE.me ~ there are hundreds of German princes, all of which need to be separated from the influence of the Habsburg family, not only that, the Habsburg family must not have a branch , Ruling Austria and Spain at the same time, this is even more unacceptable.
What's more, the destruction of the invincible fleet led to the total loss of the overseas territories of Spain and Portugal.
The French actually strongly support this.
Because the Spanish Empire can be dismembered, it is not a bad thing for the French!
As long as the status of Daming in the Northern Province is recognized, it means that France will become the premier power! Although this big country is very watery, after all, Xu Jing does not allow them to build warships, and all ports can only be opened to the northern provinces.
However, this is not unacceptable to the French. Their biggest motivation now is to encourage Daming to disintegrate the Spanish empire. Whenever they see the introduction of more demanding conditions, they will be overwhelmed. The same as the Chinese New Year.
To the extent that Fang Jifan, who still kept a clear picture of the outside world, couldn't help but get confused. What did these people think.
