The third uncle made a statement, and things were easy to do.

Chen Zhengtai didn't have the heart to care about Chen's internal affairs, not because he wanted to be a shopkeeper, but because he really lacked skills.

But the third uncle is different, people are old and people are old.

For example, in this family, the relatives up and down, what is the relationship between each other, which guy belongs to which house, what is the situation in the family, what is the temperament, the third uncle is clear.

When you are older, this kind of experience is not the kind of knowledge that can be remembered reliably, but by virtue of the baptism of the years, the impression produced by this kind of impression can make a person look at eight or nine without leaving ten.

Therefore, there is nothing that cannot be done in the clan if it is handed over to the third uncle.

Chen Zhengtai breathed a sigh of relief, his plan was actually very simple, to build a princess mansion in the depths of the desert, the advantage of the princess mansion was that it was like the Changling Tomb of Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, forming a kind of stronghold that could not be given up politically.

For example, when the Xiongnu attacked, if they besieged Changling, which courtier of the Han Dynasty dared to tell the emperor that we would not save this Changling? Just give it to the Huns and rule across the river from them.

No one dared to give up this place, this place is no longer the lifeblood of the economy, one is lost, and another is left. It's not just a simple military fortress either. Even if the Han Dynasty mobilized all its military horses, it would never allow the loss of Changling.

The same is true for the princess's mansion, as long as it is built there, it is impossible to have the unmissable political significance of Changling, but where the princess is located, it represents the face of the Tang Dynasty, and once it is built, it will never be allowed to be easily lost.

After the construction of the princess's mansion, the city was built, and then the people were relocated and the people were recruited to carry out farming.

Now that potatoes are available, such hardy crops are actually very suitable for the desert environment.

With food, people can be retained.

For this matter, Chen Zhengtai has far-reaching considerations.

Datang's attack on the world clan has been put on the agenda.

The Chen family is also a family, and if it continues to develop, it may even become the largest.

Instead of constantly expanding and growing in the core area of the Tang Dynasty, it has to compete with other clans, and it may be incompatible with the national policy of the Tang Dynasty, then the only way is to break away from the core ruling area of the Tang Dynasty.

Going deep into the desert means investing countless human and material costs, which in the past, the Chen family could not do, but now it is different, and now the Chen family has accumulated enough wealth in Erpigou to fully bear these costs.

As long as a large amount of money and food continues to grow in the early stage, in the future, a self-circulating ecology can be formed in the desert.

He can grow grain, raise cattle and sheep, build a military horse that is enough to protect himself, and rely on the Tang Dynasty to encroach on the nearby nomadic tribes, and the future of the Chen family can go far, far and wide.

Of course, the premise of all this is with the help of the princess's mansion and the countless wealth of the Chen family.

After discussing with the third uncle, the next step was to secretly prepare for this grand plan, prepare more money and grain, hoard pig iron, select credible clansmen, and even some protégés and former officials who were close to the Chen family, as well as enough cattle and horses.

Chen Zhengtai even wants to pack up the future new city, go to the city, cut some leeks, and raise some funds.

Of course, this thought is fleeting, you have to be kind, he Chen Zhengtai is not the kind of person who waits for the next three people.

After finalizing everything, it is time to send the children of the Chen family to start going deep into the desert to find a place to stay.

Although Datang has a map, it is too simple after all, and Chen Zhengtai hopes to find a place where the land is still fertile and has coal and iron.

In his impression, Ordos in later generations was a place rich in resources, where coal was the most famous, which could be mined in open pits, in addition to a large amount of chalcopyrite and iron ore, and other mineral resources were particularly rich.

There is another river passing through here, it is an excellent foothold, in the Sui Dynasty, a part of the land here, was set up by the Great Sui as Shuofang, Wuyuan and other counties, but the Sui Dynasty was short-lived, and so on to the establishment of the Tang Dynasty, this place has long been occupied by the Turks, after the Eastern Turks were defeated by the Tang Dynasty, this is still the place where the Hu people are nomadic, and temporarily belongs to the three regardless of the zone.

Although the Tang Dynasty later included this place into the territory of the Tang Dynasty, in fact, it only adopted a policy of restraint and divided this place into the canonized Hu people for rule.

The Central Plains Dynasty set up a military fortress here a long time ago, but this kind of military stronghold that hangs outside is always up and down, and there is no way to rule effectively.

Chen Zhengtai wanted to give it a try.

Everything was in order, and Chen Zhengtai went to the school.

The Academy is the future of the entire Chan family, although there were many ups and downs when it was established.

To put it bluntly, except for a small number of Xun clan children, such as Cheng Chumo, and some children of wealthy businessmen, most of the rest are still Erpigou people.

The number of people is not large, but there are more than 130 people, divided into three classes, some specializing in literature and history, and some studying physics and chemistry. As for the content of elementary school, it is not taught here.

No way...... It is impossible to teach everything in the school, and there are too many resources invested, so the content of the primary school is only printed and distributed, so that everyone can study on their own, and then recruit students every year.

The teachers here can only let people like Hao Chujun and Li Yifu and Gao Zhizhou and Guo Zhengyi, although they have won the Jinshi, but the gold content of the Jinshi in the Tang Dynasty is not very high before, and the imperial court does not immediately grant official positions, even if they are awarded official positions, they are far less high than those who have been recommended by the high-ranking clans, and they belong to mosquito meat.

They were the first to come into contact with Chen Zhengtai, and they were able to enter the Jinshi, and they were extremely talented and had the strongest ability to learn and accept, so they were also the first to understand the content in this textbook, and Chen Zhengtai simply asked them to work full-time in the school.

At first, they were naturally unhappy, but as soon as the official positions granted to them by the Ministry of Rites came out, everyone was honest, obviously...... This official position was completely different from what they expected in their hearts, so they were honest and obediently taught in the school.

The life in the school is simple, and the treatment is not bad, mainly because they gradually discovered their own value, so they also got up to their duty, slowly groped for the knowledge in the textbooks, and began to have some insights.

Especially Hao Chujun, Li Yifu and Gao Zhizhou, who are in charge of science, they will also start to conduct some experiments according to the textbook, and they also found that most of the things said in this textbook are not wrong.

This obviously opened a new door for them, and they began to forget to sleep and eat.

And today, in this school, there are a few more different readers.

After learning about the situation, many people were curious, and then saw three people come in.

Li Chengqian is still honest, after all, he knows the rules of the school, and the formalities have been completed, so let's study, his foundation is good, he has read the textbook at the beginning, and this is Chen Zhengtai's place, he still gives Chen Zhengtai a lot of face.

As for the two in the back, it's really different.

These two guys, with a hippie smile, pointed and pointed all the way, making noise about this school is not interesting.

And soon, they separated from the prince, the prince had the skills, and they were directly divided into classes, but they had no skills at all, so they could only go to preschool first.

They didn't understand what preschool was, but this eldest grandson Chong was very displeased, and shouted: "I'm here to accompany the study, why don't you go with the prince?" ”

Then make a gesture and hit the assistant teacher on the side.

The assistant teacher looked at Changsun Chong with a strange look, avoiding the slap of Changsun Chong, but he didn't say anything, but directly led people into Minglun Hall.

When they arrived in Minglun Hall, the two of them looked disdainful and unceremoniously wanted to sit down and talk.

But before he could sit down, someone suddenly shouted: "In Minglun Hall, do students dare to sit?" ”

Changsun Chong was startled by this shout, and then raised his eyes, so he saw an old acquaintance.

saw Chen Zhengtai sitting in the first place, surrounded by Li Yifu and several teaching assistants.

As soon as the eldest grandson Chong saw Chen Zhengtai, he immediately gritted his teeth: "Good you are a Chen Zheng......"

As soon as he opened his mouth, the assistant coach stepped forward, grabbed him, and raised his hand, which was a wooden card in his hand, and slapped him directly in the face.

Bang Bang Bang ......

The eldest grandson Chong was beaten.

He was weak and young, and he had long been hollowed out by wine.

was slapped a few times by the hard wooden card, which made him grin in pain, and he roared angrily: "You dare to hit me......"

"It's you who hit it." Chen Zhengtai looked at him with disdain.

This guy actually threatened to make him look good, and even dared to tell him to wait and see.

Although Chen Zhengtai did not say it at the time, it does not mean that he Chen Zhengtai is a person to be messed with.

It was his plan to let the prince come here to study, but letting the two of them read to the prince was a trap he set by the way, so that these two guys could drill into his sleeve.

Coming to this university hall, in his territory, isn't it that he can knead it as much as he wants, and he can knead it as much as he wants?

Chen Zhengtai said with a smile: "What if I hit you?" ”

The eldest grandson Chong met the contemptuous gaze and said angrily: "I ...... with you Chen Zhengtai"

The teaching assistant had a straight face, looking unforgiving, he had seen a lot of such people, so he did not hesitate to carry the eldest grandson Chong, and the wooden card was hit fiercely, and he shouted loudly: "Bold, when you see the master, you dare to call your name and be punished!" ”

A few more slaps went down, and the eldest grandson was star-stricken.

Fang Yiai on the side was directly frightened, he never expected this to be the case, seeing that the eldest grandson Chong was beaten like a dead dog, he couldn't help but say: "I...... I...... Why do you want to beat people? I'll go back and tell my dad. ”

"It's useless to call your ancestors." Chen Zhengtai looked at the guy wearing a green hat hesitantly: "There are school rules, just the admission procedures, you also signed and painted, and it was written clearly, entered the school, and since then it has nothing to do with the outside, everything is only the first thing to learn, today don't say that it is to beat you, even if you are beaten to death, there is no taboo, when you go through the formalities, you did not sign and draw the charge without seeing it clearly?" Erpigou University Hall is a place with rules, the teaching here has always been known for its strictness, and there are one hundred and eight school rules here, rules and regulations, if you dare not abide by it, what if you are killed? Heaven and Earth Monarch Teacher, which teacher here is your father, if you dare to howl again, you will be locked up for a day first. ”

"We're going out, we're going to get out!" Eldest Sun Chong was already in tears, and he exhaled loudly, and now he just wanted to leave this ghost place immediately.

As soon as they shouted, Li Yifu had a cold face. He has seen all the people who have come here, and it seems that these two are so domineering, if they are allowed to break the rules, can they pay it back?

Li Yifu said: "According to the school rules, if you are so noisy, you should be confined for a day." ”

"Then ......" Chen Zhengtai's lips hooked up with a smile and stood up: "That's it, these two are stubborn, say hello well, don't give me face, I don't recognize them." ”

"Whoa!"

A group of assistant teachers had already pushed the two to the ground like wolves and dragged them away.

There is a special brick room in the school, and there are dark rooms in it, which are dedicated to teaching people to learn the rules.

In this era, there is no such tenderness at all.

After all, the vast majority of people are hard-working, and the school rules in the school are strict, and there is no emotion to talk about, which is nothing for the children of the poor.

But there are everyone in the school, and if you want to clean up the thorns, you always have to have the means.

Especially the eldest grandson Chong, he was directly pulled into the dark room, which was black, surrounded by high walls, only one meter square, that is to say, people could not lie down at will, at most they could only curl up and sit half-sitting, as soon as they entered, the heavy iron door was closed, and they were immediately isolated from the world.

The eldest grandson Chong was locked in, and he scolded endlessly: "Chen Zhengtai, wait and see, you dare to harm me, I have to teach my father to clean you up." My aunt is the queen's mother, and she can teach you that the Chen family has no place to be buried when she dies. ”

"Open the door, open the door for me."

Changsun Chong kept knocking on the iron door, but no one paid attention to it, it was dark inside, he couldn't see anything clearly, he wanted to lie down, but he found that his body couldn't fall down, he vented for a while, and his heart gradually became afraid.

This place where he couldn't see his five fingers made him creepy, so he scolded even more.

The house next door was also howling, so much so that it seemed even more solemn.

When the two of them finally howled out of strength, the place finally became silent.

I don't know how long it has been, and the whole person squatted softly on the ground, and the high wall behind him was straight, which made his back hurt, but if he stood up, he felt that his legs were sore.

Claustrophobic, physical torture is secondary, and what is terrible is the indescribable loneliness. Time seems to have become meaningless here, so that kind of inner torture can't help but give birth to indescribable fear in people's hearts.

Their minds involuntarily begin to recall many things from the past, and later, the memories become meaningless.

But at this moment, suddenly a voice came.

Each darkroom is connected by a copper pipe, so that the sound made by the person at the end of the copper pipe can be clearly transmitted here.

The man began to read the rules, one after another.

As soon as he heard the voice, Changsun Chong shouted again, but found that the voice didn't pay attention to him at all.

But he screamed, and the sound stopped again.

The deathly silence returned.

Eldest Sun Chong learned to be smart this time, he vented, as long as he yelled, the voice would stop.

And at this time, he began to look forward to the voice again, because this deathly silence made him live like a year, and his heart kept breeding inexplicable fear.

Wait until the next time, and the voice will sound again.

He obediently closed his mouth, and the whole person was extremely tormented, listening to the rules of the school.

The school rules are very long.

But...... At this time, he actually listened to it, and it seemed that at this time, only this lengthy school rule could make him less afraid.

The voice recited the rules over and over again.

One word at a time, for Changsun Chong, it is becoming clearer and clearer.

After reading it a few times, he found that he could actually remember seven, seven, eight, eight.

Of course, in the process of fear and physical torment.

He found an even more terrible problem...... He was hungry.

I began to feel stuffy in my stomach again, and later, my stomach seemed to be burning, and all kinds of delicious food lingered in my mind.

This feeling of hunger made him feel as unbearable as a bone erosion.

It's been like this, and I don't know how long it's been.

He was groggy and tried to fall asleep several times, but the physical discomfort and the sound of the recitation of the rules quickly woke him up.

As soon as I woke up, it was a difficult time again.

Until he felt as if he was dead, suddenly, with a creak, the door burst open.

An expressionless teaching assistant stood in front of the door.

The light finally came in.

The eldest grandson Chong's whole person was exhausted to the extreme, and the sudden bright light made his eyes tingle, and he subconsciously squinted his eyes, very uncomfortable.

Then, the eldest grandson Chong was excited, and he wanted to subconsciously hurriedly scold: "Call that Chen Zheng ......"

Speaking of this, suddenly, he thought of the school rules and the punishment for disrespecting the teacher.
