There is no foreign enemy who dares to invade, and no war will be raging, and the war is really over.

People can finally let go of their tense emotions and start facing their respective lives.

So many veterans became teachers.

Of course, a place that has been through many years of war cannot be rebuilt properly in one go, so the school that teaches knowledge can only be found in many broken walls and ruins that have been barely repaired.

The study environment is indeed not very good, but when all industries are about to be developed, it is what Fang Jifan thinks should do.

A group of naughty kids who have never read books are terrible, they are the root of the chaos.

So in order to encourage children who come to study, all food rations will be distributed. Naturally, the food is very attractive!

A work shed was also renovated. Here, the printing workshop in Xishan Northern Province was established. They searched for old paper everywhere, returned to the furnace, re-engraved the plate, and printed rough 'textbooks'.

Teachers are veterans who have retired from the war, after all, they have to find something to do.

All salary is the treasure money of the Ming Dynasty.

The supply of canned food can temporarily establish credit for Baochao, and next... other food and daily necessities are needed to supplement it.

The French were very skilled in doing things and soon sent wheat. Of course, the Spanish wanted to deliver wheat but could not get it. As the most powerful emperor in the sea, Zhu Houzhao sharpened his knife and polished the sharp knife so sharply. It was obviously to cut off a large piece of meat 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 its best use is to make bread.

Fang Jifan was very interested in bread.

You should know that the so-called bread in this era is just a big black steamed cake, but if you add some sugar and yeast, the taste and taste will be completely different.

In the past, sugar was actually a very scarce resource in this era.

But since the capture of Luzon, the Ming Dynasty had a steady stream of sugar supply channels. When the fleet came here, it brought a lot of sugar, so... new bread began to be launched.

The price is also maintained at an acceptable level.

Of course, ordinary bread is still necessary, and not everyone is willing to spend money to buy new bread.

After many measures, with food as the anchor, the Ming Dynasty treasure money began to be accepted by more and more people.

With some people taking the lead, people gradually became accustomed to using treasure money to trade.

In addition to providing some relief, the large amount of treasure money brought by the fleet can also be purchased from any place in the northern province.

After experiencing economic crisis and war, the vast majority of the land in the northern provinces were controlled by Xishan, which played a lot of convenient roles!

…………………

The weather was getting colder and colder, but on that day, Joseph 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 traces of God on earth here. After only some simple repairs, it is used as a school for children.

Today, it was the first time that little Joseph came to school. He got a simple book and two breads.

He stuffed bread into his own book bag, and like all the children, wearing shabby clothes, trembling in the cold winter.

However, with Fang Jifan's attention, the school received a large amount of coal supply, and the teachers made a simple stove themselves, and slowly, the classroom became hot.

Like Joseph's father, the teacher was a veteran who served in the Ming army, so he already knew Chinese, but his Dutch was very bad. He could only listen and not write.

Of course, this is the norm in this era.

Even for most people, ordinary people have no language, and the language of nobles and civilians is completely different. For teachers who were civilians before the war, they can teach here now and receive a salary of two taels of silver a month, so they feel very satisfied.

This salary can be extremely barely supported by the current price of food.

He was not in a hurry to start teaching children how to write, nor even in a hurry to teach children how to pronounce in Chinese.

Although there is a general consensus in the education community in the northern province that it is of great benefit for children to learn Chinese. After all, if you can communicate with the Han merchants here without barriers, understand the books of the Han people, and even... be able to understand the Chinese in official documents, it is extremely beneficial for a person's future development.

What's more, even the treasure money written in my hand is all Chinese characters.

And this teacher was special. He looked cold and with a certain arrogance of all the veterans, he looked at the children on the desk and started teaching war first.

This is a long history of war, from the division of Rome, to the Gothic war, to the Hundred Years' War, the Thirty Years' War, the Seven Years' War, between Britain and France, between the Holy Roman Empire, and the wars in the Northern Provinces one after another.

The countless wars of ancestors have never stopped.

How did fathers and grandparents die, how did the plague caused by war spread, and then to the massacre of the Crusaders...

Little Joseph opened his eyes wide, with a slight terror in his eyes.

"This is what the Emperor of Ming Dynasty said."

The words "The Emperor of Ming Dynasty and the Duke of Zhenguo" are already familiar to many people in the northern provinces, and even Joseph Jr. is well aware of it.

"We don't want this damn war. The war has passed. From today and until now, we will despise the war. All our struggles for the future come from using our own hands to exchange for wealth. Or with our swords 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 with the Ming army in Gibraltar, Egypt, and perhaps even Austria to defend peace. We will have a fleet that defends peace across Europe and ensures our peace."

When the teacher said this, he looked serious and had a light in his eyes. He believed it very much.

His Majesty the Emperor only trusts the people of the Northern Province.

At least for the time being, so although many veterans have retreated,... they will still ensure a considerable military force.

He believed in any promises made by the Emperor of Ming, or in other words, believed that it was the grace of the Emperor of Ming.

Joseph and his friends still remember this lesson freshly.

Because... they also experienced wars one after another, and after the war, everything began to get better.

Without the war, the once depressed market began to become lively. On the way home from school, merchants could see a lot of wood transported by merchants along the way. Men took hammers, climbed up the roof and began to repair the houses!

Every noon, smoke began to ignite cooking smoke, and even some muddy places, workers began to lay gravel, and the road became smoother!

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 Duke of Zhenguo using the peace fleet as a bargaining chip.

Therefore... the new Xishan Money House, and Xishan Jianye, are reopened here.

The nobles of all Europe seemed to have sent people to arrive here. They temporarily surrendered in this dilapidated inn. Some people went to the negotiating table, while more people were not even qualified to go to the negotiating table. They could only wait anxiously outside the Governor's Office, anxiously waiting for the latest news.

Zhu Houzhao was too lazy to negotiate with others.

Fang Jifan used the excuse that he was sick, and he was hummed by several servants who were carefully served by the King of the Governor's Office to recuperate.

So this matter fell on Liu Wenshan and Xu Jing, so they received foreign envoys from all over the world every day.

This negotiation could not be something that could be negotiated in just a few words. The initial agreement was very difficult, especially the Habsburg envoys quarreled the most. Of course, they left the seat several times in anger, but soon found that no one persuaded them to stay. When the others continued to have a detailed discussion with Liu Wenshan and Xu Jing, after two days, they gradually understood the situation and returned to the negotiating table obediently. After so many times, their attitude improved a lot.

This agreement includes many projects, including how many troops are removed from the balance of power, strict regulations are made on at most how many warships can be built, and even enslaved nations should be allowed to escape from the rule of the suzerain state.

The one that hurts the most is Habsburg.

Through marriage, Habsburg's territory occupied almost half of Europe.

This is equivalent to... the Emperor of Ming Dynasty knocked them to pieces with a hammer without hesitation.

Under the title of the Holy Roman Empire alone, 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 cannot have a branch and rule Austria and Spain at the same time, which is even more unacceptable.

What's more, the demise of the Invincible Armada led to the loss of all the overseas territories of Spain and Portugal.

The French actually strongly supported this.

Because being able to dismember the Spanish Empire is not a bad thing for the French!

As long as the Ming Dynasty's status in the northern province is recognized, it means that France will become the leading power! Although this great power is very humble, after all, Xu Jing did not allow them to build warships, and all ports can only be opened to the northern province.

However, this is not unacceptable to the French. Their biggest motivation now is to encourage the Ming Dynasty to dismember the Spanish Empire. Whenever they see more harsh conditions, they are overjoyed, as if they are about to celebrate the New Year.
