When Chen Mo heard this, he couldn't help pouting, "What else do you say, as long as you can say the name of the book, he will memorize it, so he is so good at kung fu, and he will finish memorizing it all." It seems that the head of the Zhao family is also in vain. ”

Liu He smiled noncommittally, and didn't explain much to Chen Mo, turned to Qian Zhuan and said, "Old Qian, let me ask you something, if you want to build a academy that can accommodate thousands of people, how much will it cost?" ”

Qian Zhuan carefully calculated it and said, "If the house that has been built is converted into a academy, according to the scale that can accommodate a thousand people, it will cost about two thousand taels of silver. If it is rebuilt on open land, it will cost about 8,000 taels. ”

Liu He nodded, and asked again: "If it is in a secluded place outside the city, preferably a place surrounded by mountains on three sides and water on one side, how much will it cost?" ”

"This ......" It seems that this account is really a bit difficult to calculate, and even Qian Zhuan, who is known as a living abacus, can't give an answer for a while.

He went upstairs and returned to the room, took out an abacus, crackled and calculated for a long time, and finally gave a price, at least 20,000 taels.

Among the 20,000 taels, in addition to the material money used to build the house, most of them are transportation costs, and the manpower and material resources used to build such a large academy outside the remote city are far greater than the cost of building in the city.

Liu He heard this offer, pursed his lips, and didn't say anything.

Qian Zhuan cautiously reminded: "This is still the price of transportation in the plains, if it is in the mountains, then the price will probably double again." ”

"Forty thousand taels?" When Chen Mo heard this, his eyes widened wider than the bowl, "This is too expensive, right?" ”

Liu He smiled: "Expensive? I'm still too cheap, old money, I'll explain this matter to you, when raising military expenses, remember to set aside a part, maybe after a while, I will use it. ”

Qian Zhuan's face showed a hint of embarrassment, it seems that this amount, even for him, is very difficult.

"Okay, I remember, but I want to ask, how much silver do you have to prepare, and when will you use it?" After thinking about it for a while, Qian Zhuan gritted his teeth and asked.

Liu He looked relaxed, and said without thinking about it: "When will it be used, it's hard to say now, it's two years at the slowest, and it should be about the same in half a year at the earliest, how much to prepare...... You can raise it according to 100,000 taels first, and then talk about the rest. ”

Qian Zhuan gasped when he heard this.

100,000 taels of silver, don't say that it will be used in half a year at the earliest, even if it is a maximum period of two years, it is not a stable thing.

Seeing Qian Zhuan's dilemma, Liu He stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder and said: "Old Qian, you forgot, our next step is to capture Yizhou, and when we take Yizhou, the treasury will be under your control, and at that time, are you still worried that you won't be able to make up the 100,000 taels of silver?" ”

Hearing Yizhou and the treasury, Qian Zhuan immediately smiled. Although it is difficult for him to cook without rice now, when the time comes, he will have a huge Yizhou and most of the land of Jingzhou, and this 100,000 taels is indeed not a difficult thing.

After finalizing this matter, Liu He only felt a wave of sleepiness, he yawned a few times, and then went upstairs to sleep well.

Wei Xiao stepped forward and asked, "Boss, what are you going to do with spending so much money to build such a academy?" ”

Liu He, who had already walked up to the second floor and was about to untie his clothes, turned around and said with a wicked smile: "Buying people's hearts." ”

Maybe it was the trip to the Zhao family that consumed too much energy from Liu He, he slept for a whole day, and when he woke up again, it was noon the next day.

After sleeping for such a long time, Liu He only felt unbearably thirsty, he got up and walked to the table, poured a glass of water and drank it, the feeling of thirst was gone, but his stomach began to rumble again.

"Old Wei, when are we going to eat? I am hungry! Liu He pulled his neck and shouted loudly outside.

But he shouted several times, but he didn't see Wei Xiao's figure, which made Liu He a little puzzled.

With Lao Wei's meticulous care of himself on weekdays, not to mention that he has been shouting for so long a day, even if there is a little movement in the room as soon as he gets up, he will rush over as soon as possible, what's wrong today?

Is something wrong? It shouldn't be, this inn is all their own people, and their brothers don't bully others Liu He will burn high incense, how can there be trouble coming to them without long eyes.

Besides, even if there is really something, the first one should be to attack him, Mr. Tianji, since he is safe and sound, it means that there is no chaos.

But where did that dead old Wei go?

Liu He, who was hungry, was upset and irritable for a while, put on a piece of clothing, pushed open the door and walked out.

Look at the lobby downstairs, hey, you dead old Wei, obviously down there, as if you didn't hear it, if it weren't for the starvation, you would have rushed downstairs and kicked you.

Liu He was about to scold the street, but found that there was something wrong with the atmosphere, Lao Wei saw him, and he didn't come forward to say hello as before, but all sat there without saying a word, only Chen Mo squeezed his eyebrows at him, and pointed to a corner in the lobby that Liu He couldn't see.

Liu He leaned out from the stairs, and then saw that there was a person at a table in the corner, who didn't speak, just sat alone.

The man had his back to Liu He, and he couldn't see his appearance clearly, Liu He looked at it carefully for a long time, and then realized that the person who came was none other than Zhong Lixun.

Zhong Lixun's appearance made Liu He suddenly understand why all the brothers in the Tianji Camp sat in the lobby but did not squeak, and he had to face that dilemma.

He went back to his room and dressed himself and walked downstairs, and in this short time, he was still struggling, and it was difficult to make up his mind for a while.

When he walked downstairs and saw Zhong Lixun turn around and look at him with a smile, Liu He suddenly remembered a sentence he had seen in the original world.

I can die on you, but I'm going to die to understand.

At that moment, Liu He finally made up his mind, since Zhong Lixun's heart was destined to die, let him die to understand.

"You're going to get engaged to the daughter of the Tao family tomorrow, and you're coming to me today, what's the matter?" For the sake of prudence, Liu He was still ready to listen to Zhong Lixun's thoughts first.

"I came today to formally thank Mr. Tianji for this matter." With that, Zhongli Xun bowed respectfully.

Worshiped by Zhong Lixun, Liu He only felt that his mouth was dry, and his ears were hot, and he really wanted to tell the truth of the matter, but it was like a fish in his throat, and it was difficult to speak.

After Zhong Lixun got up, he saw Liu He's appearance and hurriedly asked, "Sir, is there anything uncomfortable about this?" ”

Liu He hurriedly shook his head, but his face was embarrassed.

Seeing that Liu He was fine, Zhong Lixun was relieved, and said softly: "A few days ago, Mr. worked hard for me, so I must take care of my body." ”

Liu He responded with his mouth, but in his heart he was thinking about how to open this mouth.
