Today's Ye Chen, with the expansion of strength, his ambition also swells.

His heart is no longer a beauty, but also a sea of stars.

Conquering the sea is as rewarding as conquering a beautiful woman, and Ye Chen will not give up on the sea.

The Liaodong is just the beginning, and more ships will appear on the sea in the future.

After seeing the Liaodong, Ye Chen couldn't stay any longer, encouraged the craftsmen of the shipyard, and promised to double the bonus, and then hurried back.

Ye Chen first returned to the county government office in Yuxian County, where he began to write government decrees.

He ordered the navy to immediately organize an adventurous fleet, with the Liaodong as the core, and then more than a dozen large ships to cooperate, ready to sail to sea.

This voyage to the sea is of great significance, and even if it fails, it is a great feat.

"The first stop is Dongying, conquer there, and you can become a springboard." Although Ye Chen wanted to conquer the world, he also knew that he had to take it step by step, from near to far.

Dongying is the place he has always wanted to conquer, where silver is abundant, and there are a lot of people, if he can conquer, it will be of great significance to China.

Ye Chen's heart has always been hot, he didn't think that he could succeed before, but the appearance of the Liaodong let him know that it must be realized.

Slowly refine the plan, and others will naturally carry it out.

In the sea, the most important thing is to discern the direction, but in recent years, Liaodong has been able to cope with the popularization of some natural knowledge, so Ye Chen also needs to choose a few students who have studied natural science for many years.

In short, Ye Chen tried his best to arrange everything, hoping that this time he could achieve his goal.

The plan was made for three days, and Ye Chen took the plan to the relevant personnel to study and improve.

"My lord, I just got the news that a large amount of silver was sent from the dock, saying that it was shipped from Dongyi." When Ye Chen snorted out, Zhang Yi reported.

"Oh, great, it's finally paying off."

A few months ago, Ye Chen received that Dongyi had discovered a silver mine in Southeast Asia, and it had already begun to be mined at that time, but it was the first time it had been shipped back.

"Let's go, take someone to see it."

Ye Chen was extremely happy, this was short of money, and this batch of silver could just be used for emergencies.

By the dock, the workers had loaded the silver into trucks and were ready to be transported away.

Ye Chen asked the soldiers to take over and transported a large amount of silver directly back to the workshop.

"My lord, according to the new method of measurement, these silver are more than seven tons, and they can be made into a large number of silver coins."

A silver coin, usually more than 20 grams, can make more than 300,000 silver coins in more than seven tons.

This is a lot of money, that is, a lot of money, and the money in the early stage of building Qinhuangdao Wharf is enough.

Ye Chen didn't expect that Taiwan would be able to produce results so quickly.

The problem of money was partially solved, Ye Chen put the matter aside first, arranged it, and naturally someone would implement it.

Ye Chen, who was much more relaxed, appeared in the academy with Tiger Head and Zhang Yi.

The college has changed dramatically, and the biggest change is that there are more students.

Walking in the higher academy, many students come and go, no longer like there were only a few hundred people before.

After several years of universal education in Liaodong, many people began to go to school, and there were more students in the primary college, and the students in this higher college naturally increased.

"Young master, what is so happy."

Walking in the academy, Ye Chen's mood has always been very good, and the tiger head on the side asked.

Ye Chen smiled and said: "The family is a huge force, to fight against them, the most important thing is not the land, nor the army, but these talents. ”

For thousands of years, the family has always controlled knowledge, and even if Ye Chen has enough troops to conquer the world, most of this world is controlled by the family.

Because the family has knowledge, and the local officials are all served by these families, it is impossible for Ye Chen to get a group of peasants or a group of soldiers to the position of county commander.

But now there are a large number of intellectuals in Liaodong, all of whom have studied in academies for several years, especially from colleges and universities, and after a few years, they have no problem acting as officials at the county magistrate level.

Officials at the grassroots level are controlled by their own people, even if the talents of the family are relatively high-level, it does not matter if they control the official positions in higher positions.

As long as the lowest executive does not fall into the hands of the Maison, the Maison will not be able to fish anywhere.

The Tang Dynasty in later generations is actually a history of struggle with the family.

Li Shimin spent his whole life fighting against the five surnamed Qiwang, and the gate valve at that time controlled almost everything.

Not to mention the future generations, let's just talk about the present, this situation is still very serious, so education has always been Ye Chen's concern, and it has always been arranged as a strategic priority, even if there was a shortage of funds at the beginning, he still insisted on running the school.

Tiger Head and Zhang Yi don't understand each other very well, but they will do whatever Ye Chen says.

Walking around the academy, the learning atmosphere here is very strong.

"Nephew Ye Xian, you finally have time to come here and walk around." Ye Chen walked into a classroom, where Zheng Xuan was teaching a few students.

Ye Chen shrugged and didn't say anything.

Zheng Xuan beckoned Ye Chen to sit down, and then continued to lecture, there were only a dozen students here, obviously they were called over to open a small class, and they were all elites.

After a quarter of an hour or so, Zheng Xuan finished his lecture and asked the students to go out.

"Ye Xian's nephew, I said that I would invite famous Confucians and celebrities from all over the world to come to Liaodong for exchange and study, but in the end, I invited a few people, and most of them were not invited." Zheng Xuan said to Ye Chen with a smile.

Ye Chen's face froze, he knew about this and had been doing it, he and Cai Yong had a long list for him at the beginning.

Later, because of the war, it was naturally delayed, and only a few people were invited to exchange and study.

However, they also made a long list of books, and Ye Chen helped them solve a large part of the book list, and at the same time, Ye Chen also helped them find a lot of books that were not on the book list.

"Say, what's the request." Ye Chen must have asked for something when he saw Zheng Xuan like that, so he could only make a look of being slaughtered.

"Happy, Ye Xian's nephew is a busy man, let's not talk nonsense, the first is to expand the academy, now the number of students has skyrocketed, and it needs to be expanded, the second is to add some teachers, at least thirty people, and the last point is that you have to stay for a period of time and re-edit the books of each subject."

Zheng Xuan said his request, and Ye Chen's face darkened when he listened.

The first request is perfectly fine, and it doesn't cost much to expand the academy.

The second requirement is a little difficult, to teach in a college of higher learning, not everyone can do it, there are so many masters in the college, there is no level of mixing up, Zheng Xuan wants thirty at once, where can he find it.

In the end, he asked Ye Chen to compile a book.

There are many natural sciences, Ye Chen knows much more than them, so Zheng Xuan asked Ye Chen to edit these books again.

In natural science, Ye Chen may have forgotten a lot of knowledge, but it is no problem to judge correctly, over the past year or so, the academy has also studied a lot of knowledge, Ye Chen will definitely be able to think of a lot of new knowledge after reading it, and at the same time, he can also find some mistakes.

Ye Chen wailed in his heart, it was nothing to stay and compile books, anyway, there was no major incident recently, the key was that the two wives were not there.
