Chapter 191: Asking for help

Walking to the gate of the academy with a gloomy face, when he first walked through the crowd, there were more than two hundred guards, and when he walked to the gate of the academy, there were only two left, Yu Tai and Iron Hammer.

Walking up to the old gentleman, Li Chengqian smiled bitterly and said, "Master Li, you didn't get the enrollment brochure so well?" Why are so many people here today? ”

Li Gang smiled bitterly and handed over an official document to Li Chengqian, and when he opened the official document and looked at it, Li Chengqian immediately laughed.

I don't know which talented person this official document came from, like the advertising slogans of TV sales in later generations.

"We have the most erudite Confucianism, the most beautiful teaching environment, and we don't charge a penny, do you want to come?"

With no age limit, no place of origin, and no other rules, it's no wonder that nursing babies and bearded middle-aged people are flocking to it.

Put it away, Li Chengqian cleared his throat and shouted to the crowd in front of the courtyard gate: "Blind date, Lone is the crown prince Li Chengqian, everyone be quiet, Lone has something to say." ”

No matter how powerful a person's voice is, the range of what can be transmitted is limited. However, fortunately, Li Chengqian was "scattering his troops" all the way, and the accompanying guards were more than a dozen steps away, and they all stayed in the center of the team.

After shouting these words, a soldier not far from Li Chengqian repeated, and then a second soldier who went far away repeated.

There's no way, in the era when there was no megaphone, if you want to shout at so many people at the same time, you can only use this method.

Li Gang looked at Yang Du and Chen Sidao with a smile, and the two old men turned their heads around, leaving him with a cold snort.

There was no need to say anything, the two old gentlemen could know with their heels how smart Li Gang was now trying to talk to them about his apprentice.

After hearing the repetition sound, Li Chengqian continued the next sentence:

"The academy has just been established and can accommodate only a limited number of students."

"Even if you have money, so many students will enter at the same time, won't you have to go bankrupt?"

As soon as these words came out, the crowd burst into laughter.

The people near Chang'an, who doesn't know the prince who did his best to provide relief during the disaster? Such a noble person spoke so peacefully, although the words were not so ridiculous, but they were very happy.

"So, Lone is here today, and I want to set a standard for the children who go to school."

"Anyone under the age of seven can go home. Don't be discouraged, the academy will not just admit a group of students, you will have a chance in the future. ”

"Anyone over the age of eighteen, or who is already married, can leave. The Academy needs its students to keep their hearts pure, but you don't have to be discouraged either. Come back in two days, the college is about to set up a lot of workshops, and a lot of workers need to be recruited. ”

With Li Chengqian's one by one, many people in the crowd spontaneously left with their children. Whether it is rejected at a young age or rejected at an older age, although he left, the smile on his face did not decrease.

After these two selections, there are very few children left.

Tell Yu Tai to form a whole team, and it will be much easier to count after forming a line. No more, no less, exactly eight hundred and eighty-seven.

The academy is ready to enroll 800 students in this phase, including 200 places for the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs. Now, it has directly broken a thousand.

Looking at the smiling children in the whole team and the parents who couldn't keep their mouths on the side of the road, Li Chengqian really had no better way to reduce the number of personnel.

Yao Silian was also in the ranks of watching the ceremony today, and seeing Li Chengqian's face embarrassed, he walked to the front and stretched out his hand to press on Li Chengqian's shoulder: "Okay, okay, let's divide it evenly, we are only one person teaching ten students, which is not a big deal." More than a thousand is more than a thousand! ”

Li Chengqian looked at the reactions of the rest of the Confucians, and saw that none of them had a sad face, so he nodded.

There was no need for him, the vice dean, to appear Li Gang as a sacrificial wine, and he had already pushed his wheelchair forward and opened his arms to make a welcome gesture: "Welcome, you will be the first batch of students to enter the academy." Study hard and don't let down the high expectations that your parents have placed on you. From now on, parents can come and bring their children with them, and the college needs to count and divide these children into classes. After the class, parents go back, and when it's time for the holidays, someone will naturally send your children back to your home. ”

There was no need to worry about anything now, Li Chengqian smiled and left the venue to the grinning Confucians. How to divide classes and how to teach are all their business, and they don't need to worry about him, the vice dean.

The newly opened college is still very desolate, of course, this is from the perspective of greenery, the part of the garden that has been set aside has not been officially planted, and it is bare and dirt. However, no matter how desolate the garden is, it can't hide the grandeur of the teaching building.

The concrete walls, originally gray and inconspicuous, immediately appear tall and tall against the backdrop of the glass windows. When the sun shines, it is magnificent. This is what the school looks like, as for Li Anren's eight-sided ventilation place, it is only suitable for air-dried beef.

In the small square in front of the college, the Confucians were counting the children's names, hometowns, and ages, and dividing them into classes, and Li Chengqian, who was unwilling to disturb their interest, walked to the cafeteria behind his back with his hands behind his back.

Serious things are not what the vice dean should do, and occasionally plugging the canteen and the dormitory is the work of the vice dean.

It's almost noon, and when the count is complete, the children and their parents will go into the cafeteria to eat. Parents must have a general understanding of where their children will stay in the future.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince came to the canteen in person, but the head cook was taken aback.

tremblingly followed behind, ready to hear what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had to say.

"The chef stir-fried a dish shirtless, unqualified."

"Grandma's, this fish is like this, it's not fresh, it's not qualified!"

"The kitchen utensils are not cleaned, and the kitchen knife that has just finished cutting the fish and meat will turn around and cut the steamed buns, which is unqualified!"

Although I don't know what unqualified is, it's not a compliment. The chef sweated and wrote them down one by one, and vowed to rectify them immediately.

After inspecting the hygiene of the canteen, Li Chengqian inspected the dormitory with his hands behind his back.

Fortunately, the old man in the palace was very careful, and even prepared a mosquito net.

Although the mattress quilt is made of coarse materials, it is better to be brand new, just thinking about the high price of Gaochang cotton, Li Chengqian is angry. Damn Gaochang businessman monkey spirit, monkey spirit, sells cotton, and picks out all the cotton seeds. This thing should be planted in Shandong, in your Gaochang fart area, how many people can use it? Mobile.. /

"Your Highness, but what did the old slave do wrong?"

Seeing that Li Chengqian was angry, the old eunuch who was sent as the dormitory manager couldn't help but kneel on the ground.

"Get up, it's none of your business, it's just a matter of thinking about something that makes you angry. I asked you to be the dormitory manager because the dormitory manager is not a hard job, and other people have no experience, so you need a careful person like you to arrange for the students to do a good job. ”

Patting the bowed eunuch on the shoulder, Li Chengqian hummed a little song and left the main teaching area of the college.

The academy established by Datang naturally has to be constrained by the rules of Datang. If he was in command, he would unconsciously copy the set of later generations.

There are Li Gang and them in the main teaching area, and the branch has to take a good look at what it has become like.

The School of History is Yao Silian's territory, and the old guy likes cement houses very much, not to mention the sturdy, windproof, rainproof and insect-proof are stronger than wooden houses, so his History Branch has built the most cement houses, and has also made a sign for each single-family small house by category, marking the dynasty of historical materials.

Today is the first day of school, and Lao Yao still has to train a few disciples among these students, so he also went to the main teaching area to work.

Without guidance, Li Chengqian walked through the huts one by one. Sui Dynasty, Northern and Southern Dynasties, Jin Dynasty, Wei Dynasty, Three Kingdoms, Han Dynasty, Qin Dynasty, Warring States. The more in, the fewer the number of books or bamboo slips, to the Warring States Period, there is a special bundle of bamboo slips placed there as a faΓ§ade, it is said that this is still all the great Confucians together to search for the family to Lao Yao to make up.

Historical materials are hard to find!

In particular, most of the materials of the Han Dynasty and the previous ones were in the hands of the family, which was also the capital for them to settle down. It's just learning, you have to ask questions while learning, go around in circles in a family, how many flowers can you study? The reason why knowledge is knowledge is only when it is spread throughout will it have its effect.

Pointing to the open space next to the Warring States Hut, Li Chengqian turned around and instructed Yan Liben, who rushed to hear the news: "Let the craftsmen build houses corresponding to Zhou, Shang, and Xia here, my college is destined to leave a name in history, how can the History Branch be successful without a card!" ”

Yan Liben is also literate and knowledgeable, and when he heard the prince say this, he said: "His Royal Highness the Prince, there were bamboo slips during the Warring States period, and the bamboo slips of the Zhou Dynasty were pitiful. Now some of the lone books are collected in the big family, and I can't wait for their lifeblood to come out. ”

Li Chengqian turned around and slapped Yan Liben with a piece of grass that he pulled casually in his hand: "Who wants their rotten things bitten by snakes and reptiles, you look at it, and when the Historical Branch is established, there will be a way to enrich the content of the Zhou Dynasty and the Shang Dynasty." When the time comes, those bastards will dare to say that they are in charge of the first place in the world, and they will dare to lead people up to smash the field. ”

Yan Liben nodded, although he didn't know how the prince could find the information of the Shang and Zhou periods, but since the prince said it, he was willing to believe it.

Passing through the School of History, there is a medical school under construction.

Lao Sun is different from Lao Yao, he likes thatched cottages, so he built thatched houses, and the originally ground cement floor in the courtyard was also forcibly pried open by the craftsman. At the beginning of spring, he planted some medicinal herbs here, and now there are many seedlings.

Seeing Li Chengqian coming, Sun Simiao smiled slightly, and handed over a piece of paper without hesitation: "Lao Dao wants these spices to study the medicinal properties, and the price is very expensive, so I can only ask you for money." ”

Li Chengqian spread his hands and said with a smile: "Don't look at me as the vice president of the academy, it's not me who is in charge of the money now, but Mr. Fang Zheng and Master Li, you have to find them to go." ”

Sun Simiao didn't care, and decided to go to these two at night to ask for money.

For the establishment of the medical school, Lao Sun did not accept the help of Yuan Tiangang and others, and the money he used was all asked for by Li Chengqian. Although Li Chengqian is the crown prince, he knows that the prince will not mix a trace of power in the medical school, on the contrary, if those Taoist priests are allowed to get their hands dirty, what will happen if they are not guaranteed.

Medicinal herbs are planted in the yard, and medicinal herbs to be dried are also placed on the shelves.

Seeing that there was a basket of wolfberries, Li Chengqian asked the guards to fill a little in a small bag, and when he saw that there was a cassia, Li Chengqian also ordered someone to fill a little.

Sun Simiao smiled and watched Li Chengqian take the medicine, did not stop it, and labeled Li Chengqian's words "I really don't know a little bit of medicine" as a "lie".

The old gentleman likes to drink tea very much, so Li Chengqian decided to prepare some health-preserving medicinal tea for him before leaving. Goji berries are naturally wanted, and the Korean people have mortgaged part of the payment with a lot of Korean ginseng, and now they are piled up in the warehouse of the auction house, looking for time to transport it to Lao Sun. What kind of herb is this strange shape? It seems to be a little impressive.

I looked at the rhizome carefully, I didn't recognize it, and then I saw a plant with an aboveground part, and I recognized that it was Cistanche, an aphrodisiac!

Although Cistanche also has an anti-aging effect, it is used to make tea for the old gentleman, and if it is known, it will be killed. So, it's better to skip as well.

After selecting some more burdock, Li Chengqian nodded and instructed the guards to send the things to the old gentleman.

"Are you sure you really don't know the medicinal properties of herbs? The old man looks at the ones you choose, they can all be used for health, and there are almost no side effects. Prince, aren't you entertaining me! ”

Li Chengqian smiled bitterly: "It's just some common herbs, what if the kid knows the efficacy of the medicine?" Why do you always think that the kid is hiding his secrets? ”

Sun Simiao couldn't speak, of course, this was just his feeling.

There are not only medicinal herbs outside, but also a lot in the house, and when he opened the drawer with "citrus" written on it, Li Chengqian immediately wanted to scold himself for being stupid. I was worried that there were no vegetables to eat on the grassland, and I couldn't supplement vitamins, so I forgot about this thing. Orange peel is shelf-stable when dried and is the best vitamin supplement, so it's perfect to take to the grasslands.

Since Lao Dao has it here, it means that he can get more, so he is not angry, and orders the guards to take all this big box away.

It's obviously like a robbery, but Sun Simiao doesn't care. Anyway, the medicinal materials here are all purchased by the prince's money, and he has the final say on how to dispose of them, and the prince can also have the final say.

After the robbery was over, Li Chengqian was about to leave, and as soon as he left the house, he saw a soldier who was grabbed by Yu Tai and the hammer, and the horizontal knife was on his neck.

"What's wrong?"

Yu Tai took out a letter and handed it to the prince, saying, "This person said that he was the personal soldier of the chief of Chai Shao, and he was ordered to deliver the letter." The last general saw that he was carrying a weapon and did not allow him to enter the hospital, who knew that this kid would break in! ”

"Let him go, let him wait outside."

After giving the order, Li Chengqian handed the letter to Sun Simiao, and it was obvious that this letter was addressed to Sun Simiao, and it was not suitable for him.

opened the letter, just glanced at it a few times, Sun Simiao had to be angry, and almost tore the letter with anger.

Li Chengqian was very curious, Lao Dao has a good temper and almost never gets angry, why is he so angry today?

Seeing that the prince showed an inquiring look, Sun Simiao handed over the letter.

After reading the letter, Li Chengqian didn't know what to say for a long time.

The damned Turks actually threw all the sick cattle and sheep into the water source, hoping that the plague would slow down the tentative advance of the Tang people. Although Chai Shao had already killed Liang Shidu, he still wanted to make some merit when he left, and under the greed for merit, he fell into the way of the Turks. More than 1,800 sick soldiers.

The letter only said that the plague was suppressed, but how it was suppressed did not say, but the two people who read the letter could guess it.

It seems that after Chai Shao comes back, he must be severely reprimanded. If you are not in your position, you don't seek your own government, just honestly suppress the rest of the Liang Division, what do you think! Pity these more than 1,800 soldiers, who did not die on the battlefield, but were killed by the plague tactics of the Turks.

"Idiot, even if he is the husband of Aunt Pingyang Zhao, Lone has to say that he is a fool, just a cow and sheep who died of illness, and he was cheated because of this?"

Sun Simiao glanced at Li Chengqian strangely: "Shao Tuoda, don't talk about him Chai Shao, even Wei Qing and Huo Quai, who have also been planted on this." Chai Shao invited the old man to go north to fight the plague, and it seemed that Lao Dao would inevitably have to go there. ”

"Are you really going?"

Others don't know, but Li Chengqian knows why Sun Simiao rushed to "send him to death".

When Lao Dao was young, there was a plague in his hometown, and many relatives died in the plague, which also led him to cultivate the Tao later, but he did not let go of the medical Tao.

Sun Simiao nodded firmly: "Go, this is the biggest nightmare in Lao Dao's heart." When the locust plague occurred, there was no plague, and Lao Dao breathed a sigh of relief, now that there is a presence in the army, how can Lao Dao have to face a fear! ”

Knowing this guy's character, he has to do what he decides, even if he is broken.

Looking at the north, Li Chengqian sighed: "Since you are going, let the kid go with you, to deal with the plague, the kid also knows some methods." Moreover, the most rampant plague is in the summer, we have to control the plague, otherwise let alone send troops to the Eastern Turks, maybe we will have to spit out the newly eaten territory again. ”

Sun Simiao looked at Li Chengqian with a long mouth, he didn't expect that Li Chengqian, as the crown prince, would dare to risk his life.

Instructed the guards to prepare to go to the teaching area, Li Chengqian said to Sun Simiao as he walked: "If you want to bring any medicinal materials, go to the auction hall to find Lao Jin to arrange for you, no matter how much, I can send you to the north." ”

Sun Simiao gritted his teeth, put the letter away, and began to think about the list of medicines when he entered the room.

Walking on the way to meet the old gentleman, Li Chengqian felt very calm.

It is very appropriate to leave at this time, not to mention that the academy has let him put down his mind, even if he leaves at this time, he can avoid the cold weather and hurry, and it is not something he can refuse.

Hutian is snowing in August, this sentence is not nonsense, the August of the lunar calendar, almost the October of the solar calendar, Chang'an may occasionally have a day or two of very hot, some places in the grassland, the cold snap in Siberia will do things, snow in August, very common.
