Mansur of Khorasan was planning an attack, Artik of the city of Maia was busy preparing for defensive battles, Ottoman was anxious to capture all the cities of Egypt, Abdullah was busy recovering, and only Ang Lee was free to do whatever he wanted.

The city of Aden is now completely under the control of Ang Lee, and the last of Artik's soldiers and horses have also been transferred, leaving only a few dozen people responsible for guarding his assets, of course, there are hundreds of servants, who are responsible for opening shops and other business activities, as well as a small number of people studying abroad to contact Ang Li and seek more help from Datang.

In this way, how to develop Aden City is completely up to Li An, and all the work is being carried out in an orderly manner, the expanded port has begun to move, and the tax has begun to follow the rules of the Tang Dynasty, and all the tax funds are at the disposal of Li An, Artik has completely withdrawn from the control of Aden City, however, because he has a huge commercial organization in Aden City, even if there is no tax, his income will not be low.

Someone is responsible for all the work of Aden City, Li An only needs to guide casually, I have to say, along the way, Aden City is the most worry-free, after all, this is a well-developed commercial city, all the infrastructure is relatively complete, than to build a new city to save a lot of energy and money.

In addition, the complete city is also very sufficient in terms of talents, such as there are many talents who are proficient in both local and Datang languages, which provides sufficient talent guarantee for Ang Lee to establish the Datang Academy.

The location of the university hall has been determined, and there is no shortage of talents, so under the instruction of Li An, the Tang Academy in Aden City was quickly established.

Considering the number of children in Aden City, the university hall has been built on a corresponding scale, which can ensure that a considerable number of students can enter the school, of course, even if they are too young.

But after all, the number of children in Aden City is too much, so it is impossible to accommodate all the children in the first Tang School, but no matter what, the number of children that can be educated is definitely much higher than the previous way, so that more children can have the opportunity to study.

The school was renovated from a large mansion, this mansion has dozens of rooms, each room is enough to accommodate fifty people, and several mansions can accommodate almost 2,000 students in total, which can be said to be a large scale, even if it is put in the future generations, it is also a very remarkable scale.

There are 100 teachers in the school, and 100 are responsible for the teaching of 2,000 people, which is still very good, and it can be taken care of.

However, there are many differences between large-scale teaching and ordinary private school teaching, and it is not possible to copy the experience, otherwise it will cause a lot of trouble.

For example, there are very few people teaching in private schools, and if the children are disobedient, the teacher can easily educate them, and large-scale teaching, because the number of schoolchildren is too much, which makes it difficult for educators to have too much energy to manage a certain schoolchild, which may cause a certain amount of negligence, resulting in a situation in the school's learning.

But there are also advantages to large-scale education, that is, you can use the limited number of teachers to educate more children, and in addition, you can set up different subjects so that students can learn more cultural knowledge, so that they can become more talented in the future.

After Datang gave a promise, a hundred gentlemen were willing to come to work in Datang Academy, and the recruited students were being prepared, and enrollment notices were posted everywhere in the streets and alleys, and they were in multiple languages, so that people of different races could understand them.

In addition to the enrollment notice, there are also a number of consultation platforms, and in places with a large flow of people in the city, three or five people in charge of enrollment will explain the daily teaching situation of the school, as well as the situation of the fees.

At the gate of the school, there is a larger consultation platform, where five or six gentlemen are personally responsible for explaining, and the parents of the schoolchildren will come to inquire in person and learn about the situation in the school.

Since the admissions notice was posted, many parents of schoolchildren have gone to the vicinity of the school to consult, they still don't know much about this new education model, and they always feel weird, so they must ask clearly before deciding whether to hand over their children to the school.

And these people in charge of counseling are to tell the parents of these students about the benefits of the university hall, so that they can rest assured and boldly hand over their children.

Therefore, the people in charge of admissions are all very eloquent people, otherwise, they can't fool the parents of the school to hand over their children to the school.

Because the security in the city is relatively good, so, Li An gradually began to walk on the streets, of course, bringing bodyguards is essential, Li An does not dare to go to the street alone, and the subordinate guards will not agree, if Li An has an accident, the guards will be unlucky.

Under the protection of more than a dozen guards, Ang Lee went to walk on the streets, so that he could observe the culture and other conditions of Aden City more closely, which would help him better understand Aden City.

"Why are there so many people in front of you, what are you doing?"

Ang Lee asked.

The guard ran over to take a look, and came back to report: "Li Shilang, it's the school that is recruiting students, and the people are busy asking questions, they haven't seen the university hall, and they are afraid that the school can't teach children well." ”

Li An smiled and walked up, he wanted to hear what the people cared about.

"Everyone is quiet, you all ask similar questions, I won't answer them one by one, I will answer them together."

A gentleman in charge of enrollment motioned for everyone to shut up, and said: "Everyone, we have a hundred gentlemen in the Datang Academy to teach, and they will give the children all kinds of knowledge, which is much better than the gentlemen you invite yourself, and the children can learn more things, and the price is cheaper, there are only two thousand places at present, if you sign up late, then there is no chance, everyone hurry up and sign up!" ”

"I have a question, my master's son doesn't know the local language, he doesn't know the Tang language, he only knows the Nantianzhu language, can you teach it too?"

A citizen asked.

The gentleman in charge of admissions said, "Of course, there is no problem, we have a hundred gentlemen, who are proficient in all types of languages, and we can teach the child no matter what language he knows." ”

"My child grew up in Xitianzhu, and you also taught it."

"Of course, of course, there is no child that we can't educate in the Tang Academy, unless the child is mentally retarded, in that case, we really have no choice."

"Hahaha!"

The onlookers laughed, and everyone was very confident in themselves, and they would not think that their children were mentally retarded, and even that their children were smarter than other people's children.

So, soon a lot of people began to sign up, and they paid the registration fee, and people have the habit of following the trend, seeing that some of them began to sign up and pay money, and the rest of the onlookers also rushed to sign up and pay the money, as if they were afraid that they would not be able to rob others.

"Haha! Not bad! With so many people signing up, it seems that there is no pressure to enroll 2,000 schoolchildren. ”

Ang Lee happily said to himself.

After walking around the street, Ang Lee and the guards walked to the location of the school, which was more crowded, especially the most people who brought their children to see the school.

The school area is very large, but it can't support too many people, so parents and children who want to visit the school can only enter in batches, so as not to destroy the school's facilities due to too many people.

A group of about three to five hundred people went in to visit under the guidance of a few gentlemen, and after leaving the school, the second group went in to visit, and so on and so on.

"Why did Li Shilang come in person."

A subordinate came to inspect, and just as Li An happened, he stepped forward to greet him.

Li An nodded and said: "A century-old plan, education-oriented, nothing is more important than education, how can this official not care, by the way, how many people have signed up." ”

"Back to Li Shilang, more than 1,000 people have signed up, and the enrollment task can be completed in two days at most, and after three or five days, you can officially start teaching."

The subordinate replied.

Li An said happily: "Okay, very good, education should come step by step, the most important subject is language and writing, this is the most basic one, we must let schoolchildren learn the language and writing of the Tang Dynasty, arithmetic and other disciplines can only be seconded." ”

"Yes, Li Shilang, my subordinates understand."

The subordinate answered.

The situation inside the school was already visited by Ang Li a few days ago, so there was no need to join in the fun, just go back to the residence.

And Ang Lee has already received the news that Elizabeth and Julina mother and daughter will go to visit, if the mother and daughter can be together, wouldn't it be wonderful, with such an idea in mind, the steps under their feet will be much faster, and if they see this mother and daughter a moment earlier, they can enjoy it a moment earlier.

The scenery on Li An's side is unique, but in the northern region of Khorasan, it is full of devastation, large-scale wars have caused great damage to the cities and villages in this area, many city buildings have been destroyed by force, and the fields in the countryside have been trampled by war horses into wasteland.

Although the army led by Abu *** retreated, it took a long time to recover from the devastated ruins, and it was only possible with the investment of a lot of manpower and material resources.

The bitter consequences of all this must be borne by Abdullah, because this is his sphere of influence, and his opponents will not take the initiative to take responsibility.

After figuring out the reason for Abu***'s retreat, Abdullah planned to lead his army in pursuit to avenge his hatred, but was quickly persuaded by his subordinates.

What the subordinates said is very reasonable, rash pursuit may not be able to win, in case of being ambushed by the other party, the consequences will be very serious, and the gains really outweigh the losses.

And Abu *** withdrew his troops to fight Artik and Uthmans, so wouldn't it be better to let Abu *** withdraw safely against others, this feeling of sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight is the coolest, and it is also better to preserve his own power.

Since the Mansur group wants to use the main military force to attack Artik and Ottoman, then there will definitely not be enough military strength to fight them, and in this gap, he can recover well, the broken city must be repaired, the fields need to be reclaimed, and even the army under his command must start recruiting and training again to increase the hope of winning the next conflict.

In short, this strategic window period is very critical for Abdullah, and he must make good use of this opportunity to develop his own strength.

"Caliph, al-Mansur has sent men to see you."

The subordinates came to report.

"He sent someone to see me, huh, no."

Abdullah was angry and said casually.

It wasn't that he really didn't want to see him, but purely to express his anger, he waited for the advice of his subordinates, and at the same time, he had to make Mansour's envoy wait a little longer to show his momentum.

"Caliph, since everyone has come, let's meet them! See what he has to say. ”

"Caliph, it's okay to see him, if the caliph doesn't want to see him, he can temporarily retreat behind the screen and let his subordinates meet him."

The subordinates persuaded.

Abdullah was silent for a while, then said, "All right! Nasser, you have come to meet the man sent by Mansour, and I will avoid it for now. ”

After saying that, he turned around and walked behind the screen.

Nasser nodded in obedience.

Soon, a confidant of Mansur, who was not a high-ranking official, walked in and bowed, he recognized Nasser, not Abdullah himself, but this did not matter, his own rank was lower, and it was not rude for Nasser to receive him, and he believed that Abdullah was nearby, probably hiding in the shadows.

"General Nasser, it's been a long time, I remember that five years ago, we marched together, and it took only three days to break through a fortified city of the Umayyad Dynasty, and five years have passed in this flash, time is so fast!"

The man spoke.

"Are you here to catch up with me? If it's about the past, then it's not necessary, and now that we're each our own master, don't get close. ”

Nasser didn't appreciate it and went straight back.

"Alright! Nasser, I'm here for peace talks this time, after all, we were all comrades-in-arms, so it's better not to fight, what do you think? ”

The person who came said.

"Peace talks, was it Mansour's idea?"

Nasser asked.

"To be precise, it was the opinion of our subordinates, and the caliph agreed."

"Haha! I know you're in trouble in the southwest, and now you're begging for peace talks, don't you have to be sincere! ”

Nasser said.

"The strength of your soldiers and horses has been greatly damaged, and it is in your interests that the two families will make a truce, if you insist on continuing to fight, the 50,000 soldiers and horses we left in the royal city will be enough to deal with, and we can recruit 50,000 troops in three days, and our strength is not weaker than yours."

"Oh, it seems that you have no sincerity at all!"

Nasser stuck out his tongue.
