"There is no class of education, the industry of eternity, since Confucius opened a private school, the people of the world are not subject to his education, and half of the "Analects" knows the world" At this time, Li Gang did not look like an eighty-year-old man at all, dressed in plain white robes and bachelor's robes, and was standing on the high platform chattering about something.

"Alas, Daguang, what is Mr. Li Gang talking about?" Liu Yizhen stabbed the bald man sitting next to him with his arm.

"How do I know, this is all knowledge, university questions, what Mr. Li Gang said is university questions." The bald man next to him rubbed a scar on his head and said vaguely.

"Don't talk nonsense if you don't understand, Mr. Li Gang is talking about the importance of establishing a college." Chen Xiaosheng, who was quietly listening to Li Gang's teaching, came out to defend.

"Start a college? Isn't there one over there in Youzhou? Hou Ye also took us to that small Zhuangzi and took Chinese classes for a few days, didn't he? Liu Yizhen was a little dizzy when he listened.

"How can the academy in Maozhuang's fiefdom be compared with the academy built in Chang'an." Chen Xiaosheng said in a disdainful tone: "This is at the feet of the Son of Heaven, when there are many great Confucians, Mr. Lu Deming Yuen Long, who is a Confucian in the three dynasties, and Mr. Yan Zhitui, a scholar in the imperial history, are all sitting on the stage. Presumably, the scale of this Chang'an Academy is also one of the best in the world. ”

"Master Hou is really generous, even these few people can be invited out of the mountain." Liu Yizhen said enviously.

When Biao Daguang heard this, he said happily: "Master Hou's handwriting is much bigger than you think. "I thought of the thirty family members who wore strange equipment all day long and trained in the back mountain

Li Er came out to inspect today, wearing a white dragon fish suit, looking extraordinary, the farmers of the Xu family Zhuangzi now know that it is the current majesty who wears this body, and it is not easy to salute, so they only dare to hide in the distance, and dare not look up at the holy son of heaven.

Li Er didn't say anything, he wandered around Xu's Zhuangzi at will, and of course Xu Yang nodded and introduced him to him. After inspecting around, Li Er also became extremely interested in Xu Yang's fiefdom.

"The construction of this fiefdom is good, especially this two-story pavilion, this brick and stone seems to be as solid as a rock, the last time I came, I saw a barren mountain, and now in just a month's work, the two-story small building has risen from the ground, Xu Aiqing, you tell me, why is this house built so quickly?"

Xu Yang hurriedly hugged his fists and said: "Back to Your Majesty, these buildings have been built by craftsmen in Youzhou before, burning bricks, cement, and building walls have their own responsibilities, plus His Majesty's kindness, three hundred construction masters from the Ministry of Engineering have been sent, so the construction period is particularly short." ”

When Li Er heard this, he nodded, and said, "You all commanded and built this place?" ”

"The minister just got married a few days ago, and he has to go to Taicang Wharf to manage some shipping matters, so he has no time to supervise the construction of the fief, and the construction of this fief is taken care of by a steward under him."

When Li Er heard this, he seemed very interested and asked, "Which steward is it?" ”

Xu Yang heard that Li Er wanted to summon the steward, so he hurriedly turned his head and beckoned behind him, and an old man who looked like he was fifty or sixty years old hurriedly trotted all the way and appeared in front of Li Er.

The old man kowtowed a few steps away from Li Er and bowed: "Grass people Zhao Fengshou, see His Majesty the Holy Son of Heaven." The old man's voice trembled slightly with excitement, and he forgot to introduce himself again.

Xu Yang hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, this is Zhao Fengshou, the steward of the cement team, the ancestral building skills, when he was in Youzhou, he was included in the cement team, and participated in the construction of several large buildings, and his skills are very good, so the minister made him the chief manager of the construction class." ”

"Large buildings? Is that the hotel and the stadium you talked to me? ”

"Your Majesty, it's these buildings."

"When I return from overseas high-yield grain in the future, and the people live and work in peace and contentment, I plan to go to the thousand-seat stadium you mentioned in Youzhou to see what it is."

"It's an honor."

Li Er nodded, thought for a while, and then said, "This time, I plan to hand over all the affairs of the academy and the Perak Academy to you. ”

"How can he be a minister." Xu Yang was a little flattered.

"You don't have to excuse yourself, you originally proposed these things to me, and I can give you these things to do, which is the greatest trust I give you." Li Er's tone suddenly became very strict.

"The minister must do his best." Xu Yang bowed and kowtowed.

"There's no need to be polite, but I have a request, that is, once this academy is built, the two princes, Cheng Qian and Qingque, must go to study in it, and the heirs of the court members must be qualified to enter."

"There is no doubt about this, all the resources of the academy teaching, the children of those senior members are eligible to use them." Xu Yang said confidently.

"As for the Perak Courtyard, I will give you the right to be in charge, and the two lieutenants, both of whom are my personal guards, and every activity must be discussed by the three of you, and if you can't make a decision, you must report to me, and you must not spread such things as gunpowder at will, understand?" Li Er said sternly.

"The minister understands!" Xu Yang swore solemnly.

There was still an old man kneeling on the ground, Li Er glanced at it and said, "Your name is Zhao Fengshou?" ”

"Back to His Majesty, the old man is indeed surnamed Zhao, and his name is Fengshou." When Zhao Fengshou heard the emperor's question, his teeth trembled a little.

"Your house is well built, the construction of Chang'an Academy will be handed over to you, I want to see a place for all the children of the royal nobles to study within two months, do you understand?"

"The grass people understand!" Zhao Laohan's head was about to be buried in the ground.

"Very well, I have always been very generous to meritorious people, if this thing is done well, I should consider giving you an official position in the Ministry of Industry." Li Er will always look like a benefactor.

"The grass people thank the Holy Son of Heaven!" Zhao Laohan's voice was already like crying with joy, and his head kept knocking on the ground.

Li Er then ignored Zhao Laohan, who was kowtowing on the ground to thank him, and just said to Xu Yang: "I want to go to the mine today, after the emperor list was issued, I heard that there were more than 3,000 people recruited, you can accompany me, just take your steam car." ”

Xu Yang didn't know what Li Er was crazy about today, he came to Xujiazhuang early in the morning to go shopping, he was the honeymoon period of the newlywed in the past few days, chatting with Liu Mengli at home every day, playing small games at night, and almost brushing off the gun several times, so he got up very late every morning.

Hearing the news of Li Erlai early this morning, Liu Dongliang was about to faint with excitement, and he was busy ordering people to clean the courtyard back and forth three times, Xu Yang was also dragged from the bed very early, put on his official uniform, and waited for Li Er to come to the door.

Now he and Li Er are working together on the bumpy steam car, Li Er is okay, he has never ridden, but Xu Yang is different, this thing is a fresh energy, the shock absorption system is too poor, the wooden wheels have no shock absorption at all, not to mention the lack of rubber tires and shock absorbers, the mountain road is even more bumpy, and the servants driving the steam car have tried their best to maintain balance, but unfortunately there is still obvious vibration.

"This coal-burning steam car is really magical, but this bump is a big drawback." Li Er sat on the steam car, not yet giving a pointer.

Halfway down the road. Li Er didn't want to take this steam car anymore, so he comfortably got into the prepared sedan chair, leaving Xu Yang alone to continue to sit in this bumper car with a resentful face.

When I arrived at the mine, I saw that the mine was a small black hill fenced, and there were Jingo patrolling back and forth from time to time on the periphery, and the mine was not small, and hundreds of people were digging black stones on the Black Stone Mountain with shovels, and then some people loaded these black stones into carts and sent them to a place not far away to process coal mines.

Li Er got out of the sedan chair, and Xu Yang hurriedly greeted him to explain the mine.

"Your Majesty, what you are looking at is an open-pit coal mine, although the coal quality is not the best, but the advantage is that the quantity is large and easy to collect, eighty percent of the composition of this black stone mountain is coal, and it is enough for our Datang coal to use today."

Li Er nodded, didn't speak, and walked towards the inside of the mine.

Li Er walked to a rest point and saw an old man wiping his hands with a black cloth, and then scooped up the water in a wooden bucket and poured a big mouthful.

Li Er walked up and hugged his fists and said, "I don't know my brother's surname?" Gui Geng this year? How many people are in the family? I'd like to learn more about this mine. At this time, Li Er's tone was completely like a rich son.

When the old man covered in coal saw the middle-aged man in front of him dressed gorgeously, he knew that the other party was by no means an ordinary family, and hurriedly said: "The old man's surname is Sun, he is fifty years old this year, and he has two sons and a daughter in the family, both of whom have married wives and married, and now there are five grandchildren in the family." ”

"My brother is so old, why do you still come to work in this mine, look at my brother's dress, this coal mining is not an easy job." Li Er said with some pity.

When the old man heard this, he actually smiled, showed a mouthful of white teeth and said: "The noble man doesn't know, although this coal mine is hard, but the monthly money is also very high, and one of the old man's sons is also here to do coal mining work, now is not the busy time for farming, you can get two times a month, plus the old man's two times, the family does not have to worry about eating and drinking in a month, and you can eat meat for two meals." He wiped his mouth.

Li Eryi laughed a few times when he heard this, and ordered someone to reward the old man with ten taels of silver, and he liked to hear his people say that they could eat meat.

Li Er then visited the mine for a while, as if he had lost interest, he got up in a sedan chair and went back to Chang'an, and when he left, he just explained to Xu Yang not to forget the matter of the sea ship at Taicang Wharf, so he left Xu Yang alone in the mine to eat coal ash.

Xu Yang watched Li Er's sedan chair disappear far away, and he was still a little confused, what the hell is this fucking tossing all morning?

(Thank you for the tip, thank you!) ）
