Xiao Shiji looked at Du Hengshuang's calm face steadily, stretched out his hand, and wanted to hold Du Hengshuang's hand on the bookcase, but Du Hengshuang quietly withdrew his hand, lowered his head and stuffed the handkerchief in his hand back into his sleeve pocket, stood up and said: "I still have some things, the matter of running a school, you should think about it." I heard Su Su say this, she said that she had read it in a certain book, saying that there was such a school in history that specialized in training soldiers, and those who came out of it would always regard you as a division commander. If you think about it, I respect my teachers for a day, and be a father for life, if I can specialize in cultivating their talents in this area, wouldn't it be more reliable than opening a martial arts hall to accept apprentices? ”

Du Hengshuang didn't say it clearly, but Xiao Shiji understood the implicit meaning as soon as he heard it. - In such a school, if the students who come out are all in the army, then, in the next ten or twenty years, in the middle and bottom of the Great Qi Army, he will no longer be an existence that others can shake with their mouths casually!

He is not a disciple of the Shi clan and has no family support, but if he uses this method, he will really become the division commander and leader of the generals and soldiers from the Hanmen Shu clan!

In terms of numbers, there are many more children of the Hanmen Shu clan than the children of the Shi clan.

In this way, his disadvantages can be converted into his advantages!

Xiao Shiji suddenly felt his blood boiling, he glanced at Du Hengshuang deeply, thought for a long time, and then said to Du Hengshuang with some difficulty: "Shuang'er, I know that I have wronged you for a while...... I ......" but he couldn't go on, his man's self-esteem prevented him from apologizing to a woman.

The words that Du Hengshuang said before, every sentence. It was a great touch to him, causing him countless introspections and shocks.

Every word of her words was asking him whether he was going to live standing or kneeling......

He never thought about these questions. Because all this, in his previous years, was never a choice question. He has only one wish, which is to live, to keep the whole family alive. As for standing up. Still kneeling raw. Or crawling, it was never something he had to think about.

And now, he found out where he was, who he was, or what he had to do. It's completely different from when there was nothing left.

Now him. It's not that he's not qualified to consider these statements that he used to think is that standing and talking doesn't hurt his back. But these things have been closely linked to his current status and success!

For example, Du Hengshuang said that he was the commander. He is a general in the army who is forbidden by order, he must be a man of his word, he must have prestige, and he cannot throw his face to the ground and trample on them in order to cater to His Majesty and the Prince. - Because stepping on them means that he will lose the advantages and prospects in the army that he once exchanged for his life.

In short, his identity and status have changed, but he is still immersed in his previous mentality and has not come out. In order to climb up, he still needs to do whatever it takes, but the current "unscrupulous" is completely different from the previous "unscrupulous". If he still uses the previous bottomless method to deal with the current problems, he will find himself hitting a wall everywhere.

Xiao Shiji inevitably thought of this period of time, in order to cater to the preferences of the crown prince and the crown princess, he did some things that were quick for quick success, and he couldn't help but sweat coldly......

He looked up at Du Hengshuang, but only saw one of her backs, walking towards the door of the study.

Xiao Shiji opened his mouth and shouted, "Frost ......"

Du Hengshuang obviously heard it, but pretended not to hear it, his footsteps did not stop, and walked leisurely towards the door.

Back in the inner courtyard, Du Hengshuang picked up the pen and calculated the possible size of the school, as well as the approximate expenses. After all the calculations, I still feel that it is not enough.

Now when there are not many students, 100,000 taels can be used, but if there are many students, another 100,000 taels is not enough.

Also, where this school should be opened is also a question......

Du Hengshuang thought about it and felt that it was best to be in Luoyang. It is not far from Chang'an City, which can not only reassure the royal family, but also not tie their hands and feet. Besides, the ancestral home of their Xiao Du family is also in Luoyang, and Xiao Shiji's retreat to Luoyang at that time is not a bad way back.

So a few days later, Du Hengshuang sent someone to Muhou Mansion to ask for accounts.

This time, he was holding an IOU of 200,000 taels, which was also said to be the work of the second son of Mu Hou, and it was also a cockfight in Piaoxiang Courtyard. However, this time it was not Ding San who came last time, but another big man, Zhang San, came over with an IOU and named him to find the second son of Muhou.

Mu Hou happened to be not at home that day, and went to Zhuangzi outside the city to see the harvest.

Mu Yelai was taken aback, and he didn't dare to let Mu Hou know it, let alone go to the Zhuguo Marquis Mansion to borrow money, so he couldn't bear to take out the 150,000 taels of silver he collected, and then take out the remaining 50,000 taels of Aunt Shi's private house, make up enough for 200,000 taels, hand it over to Zhang San, and repeatedly confirmed, is it all over? There won't be any more, right?

Zhang San swore to the sky: If he still has an IOU here, he is raised by a son of a bitch!

Mu Yelai was relieved, so he didn't pay attention to the loopholes in Zhang San's oath. What he said was that "he" had no IOU here, but he didn't say anything else......

"Listen, we don't have any money in our house. If there is an IOU to come out, we have no choice but to go to the lobby of Jing Zhaoyin with you! "Mu Yelai is categorical. If you want to blackmail their money again, don't blame her for being rude!

Zhang San smiled and said, "Don't tell me these words." I'm also an errand boy. - If you say something, I'll just bring it back to our host. With that, he said goodbye and left.

The next day, Du Hengshuang got the 200,000 taels of silver that Mu Yelai gave again, first went to the silver building to exchange it for cash, and then ordered people to take it to the east and west markets, buy a large amount of grain and seeds, as well as cloth and weaving machines, and go to buy craftsmen, from blacksmiths, carpenters, flower craftsmen, to bricklayers who build houses, all of which are fully prepared. On the one hand, she will send it to the small town of Anxi, where she will buy land to build a house and a manor, so that she can take care of the horse farm she has just arrived.

In addition to the small town of Anxi, she also sent people to Dingzhou and bought a large piece of land near the Xiahou clan. Build a house for yourself and your children.

In short, it is easy for her to have money, and she is not prepared to live in just one place.

She still understands the truth of the three holes of the cunning rabbit.

Since she was determined to leave Xiao Shiji, she didn't think about seducing him to find her if she wanted to welcome or refuse.

Xiao Shihe is also busy these days, working hard for the kind of school that Du Hengshuang said specializes in cultivating soldiers and generals. He took out the list of dead and disabled soldiers, and sent people to inquire one by one, who was in the family, how old the children were, and whether they were willing to go to the military academy specially run by the Marquis of Zhu.

According to the practice of Daqi, there is only one child in the family. There will be no conscription. There must be at least two sons. Only then will a son be allowed to attend this kind of school.

Because this kind of school has nothing to do with the academies in Daqi that are preparing for the imperial examination, those great Confucians have no resistance, and even a few of them agree to go to Zhu Guohou's school to teach those poor students cultural knowledge because of the high amount of money proposed by Zhu Guohou.

At the same time, Xiao Shiji also contacted some of the generals he was familiar with in the army. Counsel with them. Take shifts. Let them have time to come to their own school, teach these children, and talk about the lessons learned in actual combat.

Being a good teacher is the fault of most people.

Xiao Shi and this move. It touched the hearts of many people who were "good teachers", and there were countless people who happily agreed to it.

The court was still slowly discussing the issue of bereavement for the families of the deceased and disabled soldiers, but Xiao Shiji's school had already begun to prepare vigorously.

When Emperor Yongchang learned of this news, he couldn't help but despise Xiao Shiji even more, and he was still hesitating to pick what kind of time to remove Xiao Shiji's post of inspector of Jingzhou Assassin History. Because he had just returned from the victory in Gangneung, he immediately resigned, and in the eyes of others, he only felt that he was unloading the mill and killing the donkey, and he was a little too eager to roar.

But now it seems that Xiao Shiji still has the heart to run a school, not to mention that it is too much to restrain his edge, so he sent a holy decree to the Zhuguo Marquis Mansion, reprimanding him for "raising the outer room to enrich himself, inviting people's hearts and bullying him, and the internal affairs are endless, and the external affairs are difficult to run", and then announced that he would be taken away from the position of Jingzhou Assassin History, and removed from the position of the head of the southern march, so that he could reflect at home.

Although Xiao Shiji was prepared for Emperor Yongchang's thunderous anger, he was still very surprised by the will of this reprimand. He didn't know when he had an outer room?!

Nothing else, but this made him very dissatisfied, and even felt greatly humiliated, so he entered the palace with his inner servants with a wave of anger, and asked His Majesty, what does your will mean? He didn't complain about the dismissal of his officials, but it was really a crime to say that he "raised the outer room to enrich himself". He doesn't have an outer room, so where does this endless comment come from?

Emperor Yongchang said coldly: "What? Everyone in Chang'an City knows that the third lady of Muhou Mansion is your outer room, and you don't recognize it now? Your 100,000 taels of silver are more generous than the bride's dowry! You go and ask the Muhou Mansion to see what they have done, and then come and fight with me for this breath! You won't say that the whole Chang'an City knows that you have taken a concubine, but you don't know the way yourself, right? ——Dare to do it, don't dare to be ashamed! As he spoke, he swept away angrily.

Xiao Shiji was completely stunned on the Taiji Hall.

Every sentence of Emperor Yongchang's words made him inexplicable.

He really didn't know that he was going to take a concubine...... Even if the whole Chang'an City knew the Dao, he didn't know the Dao...... None of these words are false, but why do all the people in Chang'an City know that he wants to take a concubine? Who said this?!

Xiao Shiji faintly had a bad association in his heart.

With a blushing face, he went to the East Palace first and asked to see the prince.

When the prince saw him, he saw his angry appearance, and hurriedly comforted him: "Shiji, don't be angry. The father was only angry for a while, and it was fine after that. You are still young, and the position of inspecting the history of Jingzhou Thorn is actually not suitable for you. You are a lonely general, and there are countless battles waiting for you to fight, how can you limit yourself to that small place in Jingxiang? ——Your future belongs to the vast battlefield, Mobei, Anxi, Lingnan, and even the East China Sea, everywhere is your galloping frontier! Open up the territory for me, and together with Lonely, create a prosperous empire of Great Qi! ”

Xiao Shiji tugged at the corners of his mouth, and said with a sneer: "His Royal Highness the Prince, Your Majesty is doing this, and the minister probably won't be able to wait for the day when he will serve His Highness." As he spoke, he arched his hand and said, "Don't say anything else, Mu Yelai is not the minister's outer room, nor is he the minister's concubine." This matter is really a misunderstanding. ”

"Misunderstanding?" The prince also sank his face, "100,000 taels of silver have been sent, you told me that it was a misunderstanding?" As he spoke, he took out the list of Mu Yelai who had secretly collected by his subordinates and the total amount of silver, handed them to Xiao Shiji, and said, "Look at it yourself, if it weren't for her being your outer room, how could she dare to openly sell her official position outside under the banner of Jingzhou Thorn Mansion?!" ”

When Xiao Shiji saw this list of officials, he was dumbfounded and muttered, "How can this be?" I didn't...... I've never had her do anything like that for me. After settling down, he said: "His Royal Highness the Prince, you don't know the truth, I am fighting with my head in Jiangling, how can I have the heart to think about the affairs of the Jingzhou Thorn Mansion!" Take 10,000 steps back, even if I want to prepare manpower for the Assassin Mansion, I will discuss with His Highness, how can I let an irrelevant outsider help me do such a thing?! ”

When the prince heard this, he was still not satisfied, and he squinted his eyes and said, "Mu Yelai is just an outsider?" Then you went in and out with her a while ago, are you deceiving the orphan? ”

Xiao Shi and Zhengse said: "The minister has already said that he is innocent with her and has no personal feelings. I'm in and out of pairs with her, where do you start? Didn't the crown princess let her follow me all the time? As he spoke, he took the opportunity to complain: "Mu Yelai is the female official of the crown princess, and the crown princess always asks her to follow me, what does it mean?" Your Highness the Prince, do you still doubt my loyalty? - You still don't trust you, you have nothing to say, just relax at home. ”

The prince was suffocated, silent for a long time, and said, "...... Aren't you resentful of your wife? You gave Mu Ye 100,000 silver, didn't you tell the world that you value her more than your wife? ”

Xiao Shiji endured his anger and said, "That's Mu Ye came to me to borrow silver, so I took it as a life-saving favor and gave her 100,000 silver to end the matter." - Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince, you don't really think that I have other plans for her, do you? ”

The prince didn't believe it at all, turned his back to him and said, "Don't tell Gu about this. Mu Yelai came for you, and it was a lot of effort. You see, she and Muhou Mansion have been planning a lot of things for you for a while, and even the various subordinate officials of your Jingzhou Thorn Mansion have planned for you. I don't know how many people are looking for her to go to the door, and the amount of silver they send is loaded. You still say that you don't raise an outer room to enrich yourself? Don't take the world for fools. - Who cares what you say? Everybody just looks at what you've done. You have repeatedly said that you have nothing to do with Mu Yelai, but what you do, everything you do! ”
