Zhang Yi was a rude and careless person, and the worst thing was that he was illiterate. However, there were few people who could read in that era, so he could not be blamed for this.

But Lin Jiuxi had no choice. After this battle, there were only about 3,500 people left in the Taoyuan Gang, and 20 to 30 of them could read.

Lin Jiuxi selected them and made them teachers to teach the Taoyuan Gang, young and old, men, women and children to read and write. Regardless of their status, everyone needed to receive education.

As for the affairs of the gang, they were handed over to Zhang Yi.

Others may be more capable, talented and careful than him. But for Lin Jiuxi, Zhang Yi is loyal and kind enough, and such a person is more worthy of her trust.

Lin Jiuxi told Zhang Yi: "If there is anything that cannot be solved, send someone to tell City Lord Mo, he will try his best to help you."

Zhang Yi still couldn't react. He was in a state of ecstasy, but at the same time he didn't quite understand what was going on.

They are people of the underworld, and they always come and go freely.

One red lantern doesn't cost much, but this whole row of red lanterns costs at least hundreds of them. If you change them every day, the accumulated amount is also a considerable sum.

"Boss, why are you leaving suddenly? Don't you want us anymore?" Zhang Yi was surprised and happy, but also a little aggrieved and flustered.

It's like being hit on the head with a pie.

"Qinzhou!" Lin Jiuxi rolled his eyes and corrected him, and then immediately gave an order: "You must study hard with Master. When I come back, if you can't even read the Three Character Classic, I will make sure you have a good taste of the effect of the itching powder."

The sewer beside the road was gurgling with water. Lin Jiuxi looked down and saw a flash of goldfish jumping in it.

"How does it compare with the capital?" As the center of politics and power, the capital is of course an extremely wealthy place.

But to them, it seemed to be just a decoration.

It is always a bit unpleasant to suffer alone, but if you drag others around you to suffer together, and others learn more than you do, then you will feel a subtle sense of satisfaction.

It only takes two rains for the color to change from bright red to light pink. Because of the rain, the color is uneven, and it loses its bright charm and becomes poor and pale.

Zhang Yi was shocked and begged for mercy: "It's too difficult to learn to read. There are so many characters in the Three Character Classic. My head hurts just looking at them. Boss, you can just let me sweep the ground of the entire camp, but don't let me learn to read."

In the era without chemical dyes, dyeing with pure plant mineral pigments could also produce brightly colored cloth, but they were more likely to fade.

The red gauze and red lanterns hanging on the walls of Killua Castle were still as bright and colorful as ever, and even the small copper bells looked as clean as if they had just been made.

This is probably what despicable happiness is.

Linglong found the house for her. It was not far away. The small courtyard was exquisite. There were white stones in the water tank and a few water lilies planted. It was placed next to the crisp bamboo. There was also a small stone table. It was a good place for eating, chatting and playing chess.

The same is true for Qiya City, the most prosperous capital of Qinzhou. Compared with other places, the city walls are shorter and more exquisite, and are hung with well-made red lanterns. Under the lanterns are small copper bells, which tinkle when the wind blows.

I just hope I don't get beaten up by a group of people.

Zhang Yi had a bitter face and didn't want to agree, but he was afraid of Lin Jiuxi's itching powder education. An idea suddenly came to his mind, and he said maliciously: "Then I want them to study hard too. In addition to the Three Character Classic, they must also finish learning that thing before you come back!"

Lin Jiuxi asked curiously, "What kind of fabric are these red yarns? Doesn't it rain frequently in Qinzhou? How come they don't fade and are still so bright?"

Qinzhou has many rivers and lakes, so there are no high city walls built like other places.

Zhang Yi was still puzzled, "Then why do you want to go to that Qingqingzhou?"

"Everything else is easy to deal with. You can even sweep the floor, but you can't be illiterate. It's not just you, it's the same for everyone else in the gang. Literacy is an important thing." Education is the ladder of human progress. There is a huge gap between a team of more than 3,000 people who can read and a team of a bunch of illiterate people.

The weather here is indeed quite rainy, as can be seen from the mottled moss under the eaves, but the heavy roads are paved with bluestone slabs and there is not a single bit of mud.

Lin Jiuxi nodded in confusion but understanding. He was indeed rich.

Lin Jiuxi smiled and thanked Linglong happily: "This place is so beautiful. It must be very comfortable to sit here. It's a good place to retreat and have a good time."

"Why don't I want you anymore? I just want you to help me manage it." Lin Jiuxi found it funny. If she abandoned all the people from Taoyuan Gang so quickly, then what would be the point of her taking over Jizhou City.

Before entering the city, you need an identity certificate. It is not difficult to get this, after all, City Lord Mo is someone who is willing to help. But Lin Jiuxi still waited for Linglong at the city gate.

The Taoyuan Gang is the strongest support for her.

Unexpectedly, Linglong said, "How can a dirty place like the capital compare to here? It looks rich on the surface, but it's actually just empty talk. If it weren't for the taxes collected by the emperor from all over the country to support them, how could those people maintain their dignity?"

"Someone will replace them with new ones every morning, so of course the colors are beautiful." Linglong explained in a light tone.

Linglong smiled while waving her fan: "Qiya City is the richest place in the Nanzhao Kingdom."

Lin Jiuxi pulled his lips and supported him: "As long as you are happy."

A few days ago, Linglong had arrived in Qinzhou ahead of her.

Entering Killua Castle, this is a city built on a water town. Most of the houses are made of wood and are very light.

Linglong came to pick her up with her maid in a carriage pulled by two fine white horses. The carriage, like the city, was very exquisite and beautiful.

This ambiguous and delicate atmosphere made Lin Jiuxi feel a little strange.

Lin Jiuxi followed and sat on it, looking up at the red lanterns, some of which had copper bells.

Linglong smiled and reminded her: "Everyone says Qinzhou is a good place, but there is one bad thing: everything here is expensive."

Apart from paying some silver at the city gate, Lin Jiuxi didn't feel much about it. However, she remembered that it was Fan Wuyou who gave her an excuse to leave Taoyuan Gang and come to Qinzhou.

The wontons here are delicious.

Lin Jiuxi, who had come all the way here to eat Hu pancakes with boiled water, was a little greedy, so he asked Linglong: "Which wonton here is the best?"

"Wontons? Why do you want to eat wontons?" Linglong was a little surprised by her jumping thoughts, but she still introduced: "The most delicious wontons are of course the 18 wontons from Manxianglou. There are 18 flavors in one bowl of wontons, and each one tastes delicious."
