When Ye Chen was planning the senior school, in addition to reserving a large amount of vacant land, he also wanted to build a movable type printing hall.

Now there are dozens of people studying knowledge in the academy, some of them are following or following Zheng Xuan, and some are researchers trained by Ye Chen and others.

The researchers trained by Ye Chen are mainly focused on mathematics and other disciplines, while Zheng Xuan and Cai Yong are naturally mostly studying Confucianism, but no matter what, there are always new studies in the academy.

When new knowledge appears, of course, it must be disseminated, not to mention others, but the textbooks of the school, the primary school and the advanced school must be updated several times a year.

This requires a lot of printing, and updating the teaching materials so frequently is actually very expensive, but Ye Chen can't manage it so much, in order to cultivate more talents, he can only increase investment.

There is also the knowledge researched by Zheng Xuan Cai Yong and their disciples, of course, the first to benefit is the senior school, and then it is promoted from this, Ye Chen collects the things they have researched, and then prints them, takes them out and sells them, which can often be sold at a good price.

Selling books is a new industry, and books can be sold more expensively, and there is no need to be afraid of no market.

However, Ye Chen can't sell books at a low price, on the one hand, the cost is still relatively high, and on the other hand, if they are sold at a low price, those big families will not do it.

Those families have monopolized knowledge for a long time, and the common people can't read books at all, because the cost of reading is too expensive, and a single volume of books will cost a lot, but there are a lot of books hidden in the family, so their children can read.

Now that paper is popular, the cost of books has dropped, but it is still not affordable for civilians, but what makes many big families unhappy is that many small families did not have many books before, but as soon as Ye Chen sold them, they had books.

Those small families didn't have so much money to invest, and the second is that even if they have money, they don't have books, and people don't borrow them, even if they borrow you, it will take a year, or even years, to engrave a book.

But those big families are unhappy, and they don't dare to oppose it openly, because if they oppose Ye Chen's sale of books, they will offend many small families.

The construction of the academy is not only about a good environment, but also about defense, Ye Chen plans to arrange a hundred guard battalions to protect it, and in the future, he also wants to establish a military school next to it, which can be more convenient to protect.

Ye Chen carefully planned the senior school, there will be two libraries built in it, and it is a brick and stone structure, which uses modern bookshelves, but there is no glass, no electric lights, and it can only provide books inside, and I am afraid that there is not enough light to read books inside.

The school is planned to be large and can accommodate several thousand people, but not all buildings were built at once, because for a considerable period of time, the school did not have many people at all.

After Ye Chen planned the school, he ordered someone to start construction, and he often went to the construction site to check, one is to speed up the progress, and the other is to see if there is anything unreasonable, and if it needs to be changed, it can be changed on the spot.

When Ye Chen was busy in Yuxian County, Old Man Ye, who had been careless, couldn't sit still, and went to Ye Chen in person to find Ye Chen in Luxian County, Ye Chen didn't dare to slack off, and hurried back.

"Grandpa, why are you here, just send someone to say something." Ye Chen helped the old man Ye with an angry face to the chair and sat down.

"Hmph, do you still have my grandfather in your eyes?" Old Man Ye snorted coldly and said.

"Grandpa, look at what you said, isn't your grandson busy?"

"No matter how busy you are, I don't care about you, but you are eighteen years old today, and you are the Taishou of Liaodong, the general of the imperial court, and the most important thing is that you are still a marquis, you are eighteen years old, and you haven't started a family yet, is it like that?"

Ye Chen was helpless, he didn't dare to fight back, there were many people who got married at the age of thirteen or fourteen in ancient times, and it was very rare for him to be eighteen years old and not get married, mainly because Ye Chen didn't have the concept of early marriage, after all, he was a person in later generations, and it was not too late to get married in his twenties.

"Yes, grandpa, it's all up to grandpa." Ye Chen didn't dare to disobey Old Man Ye, besides, it wasn't that he didn't want to get married, but he forgot about it when he was busy.

Old Man Ye's face softened after listening to Ye Chen's words, and said: "I see that you are very compatible with the girl of the Cai family, if we were not from a good background before, we would not be worthy of others, but now you are the marquis of the imperial court, you are extremely noble, and you can fully match it." ”

"Yes, grandpa, grandson is okay."

What can Ye Chen say, Cai Yan is a beauty and a talented woman, and she is really in love with herself, Ye Chen can't wait to marry her into the door as soon as possible, but there are too many things to be busy in Liaodong, and he forgets about it when he gets busy.

Cai Yan hated Ye Chen at first, not because of his background, but because of Ye Chen's relationship with Zhang Rang, and later Cai Yan changed his opinion of him because of the refugee matter, and Ye Chen saved Cai Yan several times.

In this way, Ye Chen's image slowly grew up in Cai Yan's heart, and after arriving in Liaodong, he found that Ye Chen loved the people like a son, and he actually governed Liaodong so well, and then because of the relationship between Cai Yong and Zheng Xuan, Cai Yan often came to Ye Chen, and the two had more contact, and they slowly hooked up.

"Well, okay, then Old Master Cai is also in Xianxian, then I will choose an auspicious day to propose marriage, you also prepare for me, and I will take care of the rest." Old Man Ye now has nothing to ask for except Ye Chen's marriage, Ye Chen has brought the Ye family to glory with one fell swoop, and he can be proud for a lifetime.

Ye Chen didn't understand the marriage at the end of the Han Dynasty at all, and the old man Ye was willing to go to Zhang Luo, it was completely impossible for Ye Chen to handle it, he didn't understand anything, he didn't say anything, and he was not available.

In this way, Old Man Ye went to handle the marriage, Old Man Ye purchased gifts on a large scale, and the news inevitably fell, so his subordinates were the first to know, and they were all overjoyed, as if they were going to get married.

Even Guo Jia, Guan Yu, Zhao Yun, and Tai Shici, who were far away in Xuansu County, sent people to congratulate them in advance, as if Ye Chen was about to get married.

This made Ye Chen depressed, he was going to get married, not them, why were he happier than himself. Until he accidentally overheard the officials of the county talking.

"Hey, my lord is finally getting married."

"Yes, after the lord gets married and gives birth to a son, then there will be no worries."

After listening to the above conversation, Ye Chen finally understood why his subordinates were so excited.

The problem of the heir does have to be solved, and now the entire force relies on Ye Chen alone, if something happens to him, then the entire force will definitely fall apart, so his subordinates will care so much.

They had wanted Ye Chen to marry for a long time, but Ye Chen was really busy, and they didn't dare to care. Now that they heard that Ye Chen was going to get married, although they were just preparing to propose, it also made them very happy.
