Chapter 457: A Great Event?
Winter goes to spring, the new year finally comes again, the weather is slowly warming, Yang Huaiyu in the military academy After a period of preparation, he finally left the military academy with the remaining cadets and embarked on the road to Gyeongju.
Last year, Yang Huaiyu asked Zhao Yan at the military academy whether he would personally participate in the battle to destroy Xia, in fact, the subtext was to ask Zhao Yan if he could go to the Western Army with them, after all, the military academy did not have any foundation in the army, Yang Huaiyu took so many students to go, and he didn't know what would happen, and maybe even someone would deliberately make things difficult, if Zhao Yan could go with them, with him as a prince, others would not dare even if they wanted to.
However, Zhao Yan shook his head in the end, he did not plan to participate in the battle of destroying Xia, on the one hand, because the previous trip to Liao gave him a profound lesson, and his family was always worried about him, plus he met Xu Dezu later, which made him realize the preciousness of his family, so he had already secretly sworn that he would never take any more risks lightly. Second, Zhao Yan also wanted the military academy to face the next thing alone, after all, the military academy could not grow under his wing all the time, he could help the military academy cover up before, but as the military academy attracted more and more people's attention, some things would have to be handled by Yang Huaiyu and them sooner or later.
Regarding Zhao Yan's decision to be reluctant to go to the northwest, Yang Huaiyu was a little disappointed at first, but Zhang Zai could understand Zhao Yan's thoughts, and after whispering a few words to Yang Huaiyu, the other party did not insist anymore, so in the next period of time, he began to prepare to leave with the military cadet, and Zhao Yan also provided him with a lot of help.
After sending Yang Huaiyu and the remaining cadets away, the entire military academy suddenly became empty, and only Zhang Zai and some management personnel were left behind. However, they are not without nothing to do, in fact, on the contrary, the reason why the more capable Zhang Zai is left is mainly because the military academy will usher in a more important thing next, that is, recruitment.
The first batch of cadets of the military academy officially began teaching around the Spring Festival, and the second batch was more special. It is only half a year later than the first batch of students, and the third batch is also recruited after the Spring Festival, and from the beginning of this period, Zhang Zai has already made clear provisions on enrollment, and the enrollment time is after the Spring Festival. Even if he doesn't usually need to take care of things, he always has to come forward when recruiting students.
Zhao Yan also attaches great importance to the enrollment of this military school, this is because after the first three enrollments, almost all the school-age teenagers in the Jiangmen have been recruited, and the number of the fourth enrollment is very large, so it is definitely not possible to recruit only people in the Jiangmen like the previous three sessions, that is, to expand the source of students.
Military schools are different from Gewu Academy. It is also different from ordinary academies, where students are all going to enter the army after graduation. And the army is the cornerstone of a country, so the cadets who can enter the military academy must have a clean net worth, and they must not be bad in terms of ability, after all, leading troops to fight is not something that everyone can do.
It is also the particularity of the enrollment of military schools, and in the end, Zhao Yan specially went to Zhao Shu to discuss, and the other party agreed to select some young soldiers from the army to enter the military academy. But it's easy to say, but it's not easy to do.
First of all, the army of the Great Song Dynasty is huge, and if you want to select some outstanding young soldiers from it, you can only rely on the recommendation of the generals in those armies, but these generals must also have their own selfishness. After knowing the role of the military school, he is likely to recommend some of his cronies, or even his own children and nephews, these people's routines are uneven, and they must not all enter the military school, so in the end, Zhao Yan thought of a way, that is, to let the generals in the army have the right to recommend, but after the people they recommend come to the military school, they will have to conduct an assessment, and only those who pass this assessment can really become students of the military school.
The enrollment has begun to prepare as early as a year ago, the generals in the army have different recommended numbers according to the level of their official positions, these people are different according to the distance, and they also rushed to the capital around the Spring Festival, and after Yang Huaiyu left with the students, Zhang Zai immediately began to enroll, and for a time the entire military academy was surrounded by students from all over the army.
Although Zhao Yan usually doesn't care about things, he still has to come forward for such an important matter as admissions, fortunately, Zhang Zai has already arranged a qiē, so Zhao Yan only needs to show up at the time of enrollment, and then say a few words to the students who come to apply, and then announce the start of enrollment, and there is nothing for him to do.
The enrollment of military schools is much more troublesome than that of ordinary colleges, even if these are recommended by the generals of the army, they must also verify their identity first, and even send someone to verify their identity, so as not to be mixed in by the spies of the enemy country, this process alone will last for a long time, so it is generally an assessment of the students first, and they can enter the military school to study after passing guò, but at the same time, their identities will be checked, if there is any problem with a student, the other party will be allowed to drop out. The most important thing is that he is likely to engage in military law, after all, there is no human affection in the military academy.
After finishing the enrollment of military schools, in the next few months, Zhao Yan finally had a period of free time, staying at home every day to accompany his wife and children, although Cao Ying and the others have their own things to do, most of them don't need to do it themselves, so they also have a lot of time to accompany Zhao Yan, and the family is happy.
This morning, Zhao Yan lay on the recliner in the back garden, watching Siyue and Siling rolling and playing on the grass, it is already early summer, and the weather is getting hotter day by day, so the two little guys are taken out to play, speaking of which children are most afraid of winter, if you are not careful, you may catch a cold and fever, before Si Ling had a high fever, Yelusi was almost scared to death, fortunately Zhilugu came to give Si Ling a few injections, and boiled a pair of medicines, which added a lot of rock sugar, just like the syrup of later generations, feed a little a day, Soon the little one was back to health.
The two daughters have nurses and maids watching, so Zhao Yan doesn't have to worry about it at all, plus the sun is good today, and the breeze blows makes people lazy all over, and finally Zhao Yan is about to fall asleep in a daze.
But at this moment, there was a sudden sound of hurried footsteps from outside the garden, which made Zhao Yan couldn't help but open his eyes, and immediately saw Yan Yuru walking in with a happy face, and when he saw him, he immediately said: "Husband, come with me, we have a happy event to tell you!" ”
Seeing Yan Yuru's happy appearance, Zhao Yan couldn't help but be a little surprised, now Yan Yuru and Ouyang Wanling are teaching some female students, these female students are all from noble families, and they used to teach in the courtyard next to the palace, and now Zhao Yan moved to live in the house by the Bianhe River, so Ouyang Wanling also moved the study place here, after all, compared to the noise in the city, the quiet environment here is also more suitable for studying.
"It's not like your girls are doing better than the students at Tokyo Elementary School, are they?" Zhao Yan was pulled forward by Yan Yuru, but at this time he was a little disapproving.
Originally, the primary school was going to open a girls' school, but Ouyang Wanling recruited too few students, and it was not worth opening a girls' school at all, Ouyang Wanling was also very unconvinced, every time she took the exam in Tokyo Elementary School, she would ask for some of the same test papers, and then let her students do it, and the result was that her students did better in the exam every time, but this is also normal, after all, she and Yan Yuru have been teaching for a long time, and the students are good, they can tutor the students individually, plus these girls also work hard, Naturally, they are better at learning than the boys at Tokyo elementary schools.
"Giggles, this is not a trivial matter like an exam, but a great joy, maybe our girls' school will be officially established soon!" Yan Yuru was happy at this time, when she entered the school as a teacher, it was also because of life, but after slowly adapting to the school, she found that she really liked places like the school, and looked at the innocent smiling faces of the children every day, which made her mood become much brighter.
Zhao Yan followed Yan Yuru out of the inner house, and soon came to the front yard of the house A courtyard adjacent to the inner house, this is where Ouyang Wanling and their teaching are, because the number of female students accepted is not large, so there is only one class, in which Ouyang Wanling teaches Chinese and Yan Yuru teaches mathematics.
It happened to be recess now, as soon as Zhao Yan entered the courtyard, he saw that the courtyard was full of little girls wearing beautiful flower skirts playing around, most of these girls were between six and ten years old, and their good background made them all look white and tender, no matter what their appearance was, at least at their current age, they all looked very cute.
Zhao Yan has been here a few times occasionally, so the girls also know him, and when they saw him come in with his teacher, they all showed a playful expression, and even a few older girls covered their mouths and secretly discussed something, and from time to time they would look at Zhao Yan and Yan Yuru and snicker, just like little adults.
Zhao Yan had long been accustomed to the appearance of these little girls, and immediately followed Yan Yuru to the room where they worked, but as soon as he entered, he saw Ouyang Wanling holding a stack of thick things and watching carefully.
"What is it that makes you two so happy?" Zhao Yan asked again in surprise at this time, Yan Yuru is just one, now even Ouyang Wanling is so happy, is it really a big joy? (To be continued......)
