Chapter 395: The Academy opens

Zhao Zizhong said: "Hey, one will be a success!" It seems that the people of Shu will not be able to escape this catastrophe. At present, our strength is still very weak, and we cannot go deep into the interior of the mainland to compete with the Great Song Dynasty. We definitely can't stop Zhao Kuangyin's actions! ”

Cao Deshun said solemnly: "Mr. Zhao, in fact, the Great Song Dynasty attacked Shudi, which is a good thing for us. We can take the opportunity to collect a large number of displaced people and transport them to Liuqiu. In this way, we will grow our strength quickly, do you think it is feasible? ”

Zhao Zi nodded emphatically: "Brother Cao, of course I understand this." But thinking of this era of troubled times and human life like a mustard, I still can't turn around in my thinking! ”

Wang Mingjun persuaded: "Mr. Zhao, we don't have the strength to compete with the Great Song Dynasty now, so we can only try our best to rescue some displaced people and place them in Liuqiu, so that they can support themselves and live a good life in the future." ”

Zhao Zizhong exhaled a breath of turbidity in his chest: "Huh~~~~~~, let's have a meeting in the evening and plan well." We must lay out in advance and strive to obtain the greatest benefits when the Great Song Dynasty destroyed the Shu Kingdom.

The trio has decided on it. They went their separate ways.

Cao Deshun went to see his wife, and Wang Mingjun went to settle his family. Zhao Zi went to the hotel again and arranged a banquet for the evening.

In the evening, the senior management of Seven Seas Company gathered at the hotel to wash the dust for Cao Deshun, Wang Mingjun and Zhang Renxun.

Monk Taiqin, handsome man Shu Ya, Liang Daguanren, Gao Yanei, Cao Yongxian and several of his classmates and friends all attended the banquet.

These scholars are all children of eunuchs, and their fathers are very familiar with Zhang Renxun, so Cui Daoshu specially invited them to accompany Zhang Renxun.

The banquet was staggered, and the atmosphere was very warm. Under the alternating bombardment of Du Dalei, An Dalang, and Boris, Zhang Renxun soon fell drunk and was carried back by the guards.

Then everyone ate and drank for a while, and then the banquet dispersed.

Zhao Zizhong brought the top management of Seven Seas to the conference room, and after everyone drank tea and rested for a while, the discussion began.

Wang Mingjun and Cao Deshun first introduced the situation in the Southern Tang Dynasty and Jinghu region, as well as what they brought this time, as well as the countermeasures of the Southern Tang Dynasty Imperial Court against the Seven Seas Company.

Du Dalei was the first to jump out and shouted: "Haha, it seems that Nantang is asking us now." So what are you waiting for, let's pack up the weapons that the guards are using now, such as swords, shields, bows and crossbows, and sell them all to Li Yu. When the workshop produces new weapons, we will use new ones. What do you think? ”

Everyone praised Du Dalei, saying that he has a good brain and a lot of ideas, which is a very good method.

Boris added: "Lao Du is right, as long as we refurbish and clean the weapons in the hands of the escort team, we can sell them to Nantang as new." We can also sell some powerful guys to them, such as bed crossbows, ballistas, and burn~burn~ shells. in order to enhance the strength of the Southern Tang Dynasty against the Great Song Dynasty. ”

Wei Hongye asked: "Boris, do we also want to sell such a big killer weapon as burning ~ burning ~ bombs?" After Nantang gets these, will it be bad for us? ”

Zhao Zizhong explained: "Old Wei, it's okay. Between the Southern Tang Dynasty and us, there is still Wu Yueguo. Moreover, the biggest enemy of the Southern Tang Dynasty was the Great Song Dynasty in the north. Now that Nantang has a request for us, he will not turn against us. After all, we have sea salt in our hands that Nantang does not have, as well as high-power weapons. ”

Wei Hongye nodded: "Then there is no problem, but should we be cautious about burning ~ burning ~ bombs for them?" ”

Boris said: "Second brother, we just burned ~ burn ~ bombs for Nantang, and they can't produce them." One is that they have no raw materials, and the other is that they have no production process and formula. They just dismantled the burning~burning~ bomb, and when they saw the structure inside, they were also staring dryly, and they couldn't do it. ”

Everyone thought about it and agreed.

Zhao Zizhong continued: "Our main topic today is to lay out in Shu in advance. Brother Wang, your hometown is in the Jinghu area, very close to Shudi. Could you please make a comment first? ”

Wang Mingjun nodded, stood up and said: "Everyone, Shu is very rich, but under the rule of Meng Chang, the lord of Shu, the government is very corrupt. We can now organize some people to go to Shu to bribe some officials. Then set up some trading houses in various places, and secretly hoarded food and supplies to prepare for future wars. ”

Cui Daoshu said: "Brother Wang's idea is very good, it seems that we are going to invest a lot of money and materials in Shudi." ”

Zhao Zi waved his hand again: "The matter is settled, Lao Qi, in a few days, your Ministry of Commerce will do a year-end inventory to find out how much money we have." Then leave a part of it for daily turnover only, and invest the rest of the money in Liuqiu and Shudi. ”

Du Dalei hurriedly asked: "Boss, the money has been spent, and we won't pay dividends this year?" I'm about to get married and support my family. ”

Zhao Zi laughed heavily: "Xiao Du, who are you fooling?" Didn't the old lady just give you a thousand? You don't lack money at all, and you won't pay dividends this year. ”

Wei Hongye asked: "Brother Wang, Brother Cao, Liang Daguan, you are also shareholders of Seven Seas Company, what do you think about the non-dividend this year?" ”

The three of them glanced at each other, and Cao Deshun said: "No problem, now Seven Seas Company is in the initial stage of its business, and it needs a lot of money, and it is necessary not to pay dividends." Our Cao family still has some surplus money, and I will transport it over in a few days and give it to Cui Xiandi for use. ”

Wang Mingjun also said: "I think the same as Brother Cao, after I go back, I will mobilize all the strength of the family to infiltrate Shudi." Money is something outside the body, and our career is the goal of everyone's struggle now! ”

Liang Daguan nodded: "What you two said is very right, I don't care about these things at all." My main focus is to take care of the children in the school. I'm not going to pay attention to any other bullshit. ”

The brothers were very moved, and under the leadership of Zhao Zizhong, they bowed to the three of them and thanked them.

The three of them hurriedly got up to return the salute, and after a while, everyone sat down.

Zhao Zizhong said to Boris: "You will start to let the staff make a plan tomorrow, and then select personnel, organize training, and prepare to infiltrate Shudi." ”

Boris understood and nodded in agreement.

Zhao Zizhong said to Cui Daoshu again: "Old Seven, the people in the General Staff Department are not visible, and the people in your Ministry of Commerce are the power on the surface." You have to transfer manpower, and then cooperate with Brother Wang's family to set up a merchant house in the main cities of Shu. ”

Cui Daoshu agreed: "I will cooperate with Brother Wang, please rest assured." ”

Zhao Zi saw that the main things were almost discussed, so he said to Cao Deshun:

"Brother Cao, the academy has been completed, when do you think the opening ceremony will be held?"

Cao Deshun said with a smile: "It doesn't matter what date it is, you can just set it." ”

Zhao Zi thought about it again and said, "Then it's set on the eighth day of the lunar month?" ”

Everyone agreed, and Liang Daguan said: "Laba is a good day, so let's make it." ”

------------------------- -------------------- --------------------

In a blink of an eye, it was the eighth day of the lunar month, and at noon, in front of the gate of the academy in the depths of the valley, there were colorful flags and gongs and drums, crowded with people who came to watch the ceremony.

Zhao Zizhong, Cao Deshun, Wang Mingjun, Liang Daguanren, Zhang Renxun, and Mrs. Cui walked to the gate, and everyone worked together, pulled the rope, and ripped off the red silk covering the plaque.

The plaque is engraved with four glittering golden characters of "Nanami Academy".

Originally, Zhao Zizhong wanted to name the academy after Cao Yongxian, but Cao Deshun changed his mind and resolutely disagreed. Later, only Cao Deshun's proposal was used to name the academy "Seven Seas Academy".

After the plaque unveiling ceremony, everyone rushed in and began to visit the college.

After passing through the spacious playground, everyone came to the teaching area. It was divided into several classes, with the scholars from Jinling organized into three classes, and the older children of the academy such as Muwei Youth and Hu Yidao organized into one class. In addition, several staff officers of the General Staff and members of the escort team who performed well were organized into a squad.

The sound of reading came from the classrooms, and Liang Daguan stroked his beard and said with relief: "Brother Cao, you and Brother Wang have done a good deed with immeasurable merits!" It is estimated that in a few years, it will be able to produce a large number of talented people for Seven Seas. ”

Cao Deshun said humbly: "Where, where, compared with Brother Zhao and your Brother Liang, we are still far behind." We just built a academy. At most, it can take care of a few hundred people. And Mr. Zhao's brothers have now taken in more than 10,000 displaced people and more than 1,000 orphans, which is a great thing. ”

Mrs. Cui said to Cui Daoshu: "Shu'er, my mother saw the grand occasion of the academy today, and her heart was full of emotion. Your father's greatest wish before his death was to gather the best talents from all over the world and raise them. He had long wanted to set up a academy, but your father died early, and this wish was not fulfilled. Now that Mr. Cao and Mr. Wang have built such a academy, our Cui family cannot sit by. You can take an inventory of my family's treasury, leave a little money, and send the rest to the academy. ”

Zhao Zizhong hurriedly said: "Mother-in-law, this is not good!" We can't ask for your family's money! ”

Old Madam Cui shook her head: "Our Cui family has been enjoying wealth and prosperity, and now Dao Shu has the ability to earn money, and Hongye is also a rare talent." We rely on these two men, and we will definitely have no worries about food and clothing in the future. Rather than putting the extra money in the treasury, it is better to use it for the academy. In fact, it's not a good thing to have a lot of money, I'm a half-cut person who is in the ground, what do I need so much money for? ”

Zhao Zizhong was a little helpless, and Cui Daoshu also said: "Big brother, now my Cui family's liquor workshop, as well as the tea plantations in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, are all good businesses that make money every day. So my Cui family is not short of money at all, and my mother donated the money in the treasury, and I estimate that the treasury will be filled again soon. You can accept your mother's heart. ”
