Chapter 63 Rent Collection
The school opened, just like Zheng Xuan reminded, Yuan Yun built a campus workshop, which produced not cement-like heavy physical work, but papermaking, and a very mysterious job, printing. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
After Zheng Xuan visited the printing utensils made by Ma Jun according to Yuan Yun's drawings, he was almost in tears, and it was only after seeing the printing machine that the great Confucian really believed that Yuan Yun's desire to educate the people was not empty words.
Paper and printing are two things that others can't see any future, but Zheng Xuan, as a reader, deeply understands the power contained in it, that is, the popularization of books, once books become cheaper, poor families can really appear readers.
The cost of education in this era is really outrageously expensive, and ordinary families simply cannot afford to support their children for more than ten years.
Some of the great Confucians invited by Zheng Xuan, some came with great interest, some politely refused, and some replied to the letter to criticize, in short, everyone had it, but Zheng Xuan cultivated the world, and the matter of inviting literati still spread, so many scholars and Confucian scholars knew about the reconstruction of Luoyang and the construction of a school in Luoyang.
As a result, the faculty of Luoyang College is gradually taking shape, and Luoyang workers are also willing to send their children to study, learn to write, and have a good job to supplement their families, so that these workers think that they are taking advantage of the public, so they work harder when they work on the construction site.
In addition to the children of the laborers, some post-graduate students also came to Luoyang to study under the name of Zheng Xuan, so the college finally became full of life after a few months.
Yuan Yun had no time to take care of any academy at this time, Zhang Liao had already gone to Hanoi County with four hundred special soldiers, and at the same time, Sima Yi was sent back to Xudu, and also gave him an order, that is, after returning to Xudu, he needed to copy all kinds of books in the palace as possible, so that he could bring them back to the academy in Luoyang for teaching.
Sima Yi knew very well in his heart that Yuan Yun was sending himself away, copying books or something was just a delay, so he thought about Yuan Yun's premeditation very carefully, and when he saw Yuan Yun start to organize gunpowder army soldiers to practice warships on the big river, the first thing he thought of was that Duan Xuan was going to be unlucky.
With this discovery, Sima Yi felt that it would be good to go back to Xu Du to discuss with Cao Ren, and at the same time issued a warning to Duan Xuan, telling him to be more restrained in the near future, and not to provoke Yuan Yun again, especially some of the mountain bandits he had cultivated, these people must be grounded, and they must not enter the Luoyang realm to plunder.
What Yuan Yun has been pondering recently is Duan Xuan in the Chang'an realm, this thing seems to be very grudgeful, and there are constantly mountain bandits looting in Luoyang, Yuan Yun thinks with his ass and knows who did the good deeds, but he still doesn't know, just training the combat power on the water in the bright place.
"Lord, I'm afraid it's not appropriate for us to train for surface combat like this, they are all men from the north, and they only vomit when they get on the boat, where can they still fight? And such an easy training did not work very well, and the lord was merciful enough not to see them suffer, but as soon as they got seasick, he ordered the end of the training, which was too easy. Li He was very confused, because after Zhang Liao led his troops to Hanoi County, the training of the Gunpowder Army became supervised by Yuan Yun.
It's just that Yuan Yun's approach is very confusing, every day he has to drive the soldiers onto the boat, and then drive to the river to wander around, and when the soldiers on the clothes vomit, he will immediately return to the port, so that the day's training is over.
After a few times, the soldiers also learned to be smart, everyone had soup in their mouths, and as soon as the big ship left the port, the big guys began to vomit in various ways, so that they could trouble returning home, even if the acting skills of these fighting men were very poor, Yuan Yun pretended not to see it, and someone vomited and returned immediately.
After watching it for half a month, Li He finally couldn't stand it anymore, so he could only remind him that this kind of training was just lazy for these fighters.
Yuan Yun smiled and glanced at the soldiers who were getting off the big ship, and then glanced at Li He beside him, and then said: "Seasickness can kill people, but it can't be sloppy, and I didn't say that I plan to let the soldiers practice water fighting, but let them get used to it." ”
Li He looked at the warships and soldiers on the dock puzzled, and wondered: "Adapt? A little puzzled, what can the fighters do if they adapt? They were still unable to fight on the water, and they were still unable to resist when they encountered a real navy. ”
Yuan Yun snorted and unfolded the folding fan, then beckoned Xiao Liu to his side and asked, "Sima Yi and the people he brought, can they honestly return to Xudu?" ”
Xiao Liu arched his hand and replied: "I followed all the way over, Sima Yi did return to Xudu, and as soon as he entered the city, he went to Cao Ren's mansion, probably because there was something to discuss." ”
Yuan Yun rolled his eyes and asked curiously: "Is it true that as soon as he entered the city, he went to Cao Ren's mansion, instead of going to the mansion to report on his work?" ”
Xiao Liu nodded and said, "It's true that I went directly to Cao Ren's mansion, I really see this." ”
Yuan Yun laughed and said: "When I turn around, I will take this matter and toss Sima Yi, this bastard, did not go back to the palace to report on his work, but ran to Cao Ren, which violated the rules of the imperial court, although it is a small matter, but Ben Hou said that it was a big deal, and he could not deny it, and when he came back, Lao Tzu would make him look good." ”
Shaking the folding fan, Yuan Yun didn't pay attention to Sima Yi, but turned his head to Li He and said: "Since Sima Yi has returned to Xudu, our training to adapt to the big ship should also end, let the soldiers assemble tomorrow night, and always find something to relieve their boredom. ”
Li He was stunned and puzzled: "Who is our enemy this time?" ”
Yuan Yun crooked his mouth and smiled: "Duan Xuan, he can let people pretend to be mountain bandits to come to our Luoyang to rob, and Lao Tzu will also follow the example, but Lao Tzu will fight all the way to his mansion, and if he is not scared to pee his pants when the time comes, Lao Tzu will not be finished." ”
Li He was taken aback, and immediately persuaded: "The lord is angry, let's send troops to attack the palace of Chang'an City Commander without authorization, this is really a bit excessive." ”
Yuan Yun glanced at Li He meaningfully, and then said with a smile: "Isn't this worry a little strange, just saying that we are excessive, why don't you worry about how we can break through the defense of Chang'an City, Li He, do you think that the strength in Duan Xuan's hands is not enough to fear?" ”
Li He smiled embarrassedly and said: "It's not that the little ones despise the other party, it's really that Duan Xuan's soldiers really don't have any combat power, most of the locals in Chang'an don't like Duan Xuan, how can the soldiers gathered by the local disciples there work for him, it's just that Duan Xuan is learning from us and giving a sound to those soldiers, so there are people who are willing to enter the Chang'an army, once we attack the past, these people are guaranteed to run faster than rabbits, so the small ones are just worried about the court to blame." ”
Yuan Yun was very satisfied with Li He's answer, this subordinate would not be a sycophant, and because of this, what he said was basically the most true, thinking about Yuan Yun like this, he was a little fluttering, or the gunpowder army under his command was mighty, and everywhere he went, there was no grass, and all living beings had to retreat, and they were strong.
"Li He, order the 2,000 soldiers of the Gunpowder Army to remove their uniforms, then dress up as bandits, set off tonight, and go to Chang'an along the waterway." After Yuan Yun's order was given, Li He no longer persuaded him, but hugged his fists and took the order, and then retreated.
After Li He left, Yuan Yun asked Xiao Liu beside him, "Has the letter sent to Tonghu been delivered?" ”
Xiao Liu replied: "It has already been delivered, Tong Hu also sent a message back, saying that it was arranged by the lord, and he must do it, and in the near future, they will send people to loot the official mansion near Hanzhong City, and ensure that the mixed Hanzhong territory will be jumping." ”
Yuan Yun nodded with satisfaction and said: "Let's blossom in three ways, Hanoi, Chang'an, and Hanzhong, so that Luoyang can be stable for a year, so that we can concentrate on construction." ”
After taking a few steps, Xiao Liu was also a little worried like Li He, after all, Duan Xuan, who attacked Chang'an like this, would definitely have clues and evidence to be caught, and it was impossible to completely cover it up, if the court blamed it, it would definitely be a felony.
Yuan Yun looked at Xiao Liu's worried face, and comforted with a smile: "Don't worry, we went to rob Duan Xuan this time, just to teach him a lesson, do you think he sent people to loot in our Luoyang territory, Cao Sikong doesn't know?" The reason why I didn't say it was because I was afraid that Cao Sikong just wanted to see how we responded.
As for those officials and men in the court, don't worry, they have invested a lot of money in the construction of Luoyang, and they will never let this side go wrong, this time we went to rob Duan Xuan, maybe there are still people who will applaud, after all, the money and food returned from the robbery are to be used in the construction of Luoyang, even if things can't be cleaned up to the court, I believe that there will be a lot of people who will stand up to help us speak, this is the benefit of interest bundling. ”
Xiao Liu was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then asked: "What does the lord mean, our robbery this time is secondary, and testing the hearts of those officials in the court is the main thing?" ”
Yuan Yun shrugged his shoulders and said with a smile: "Wrong, robbery is the main thing, I don't bother to care about those old officials who are tempting or not, do you know that Duan Xuan has made a lot of money in Chang'an in the past year, and Zhang Lu and Ma Teng don't dare to provoke Cao Sikong, so they keep selling all kinds of goods from Xiliang to the Western Regions, I don't know how many treasures I get back, I don't receive all these things, how can I be worthy of Duan Xuan has always been thinking about our hearts."
Doesn't he often let his subordinates pretend to be bandits to rob us in Luoyang, it's just that Lao Tzu has never liked to make small fights, if he wants to do it, let the other party know that it is powerful, know that it hurts, empty Duan Xuan's mansion, and beat him up again, so that all his efforts for so long will come to naught, he knows that fighting with Lao Tzu has no good end at all, and he is not afraid of beating him once, he really thinks that a broken Chang'an order can do whatever he wants. ”
Xiao Liu was still worried: "But my lord, after we left Chang'an, Duan Xuan made great efforts to repair the city, even if the other party's soldiers did not have any combat power, it would still be very difficult for our two thousand people to break the city." ”
Yuan Yun smiled, then put his arm around Xiao Liu's shoulders and said, "I haven't seen Shi Shen's bastard in the past few days, what do you think he is doing?" I have long been sent to Chang'an, and no one is more familiar with the ports there than us, and the reason why our gunpowder army has been adapting by ship is to land from those ports.
Shi Shen has already made arrangements, I believe that when we arrive, the door will be open all the way, those pro-soldiers in Duan Xuan's mansion are not enough for us to cook, this robbery must be fast and ruthless, Chang'an is just me temporarily lent to Duan Xuan, how can I do it without paying some rent? Our landlord's family has no surplus food. ”
