Zhu Guobi and Liu Kongzhao left Lyden in a hurry, and in their opinion, the profit share promised by Shandong was higher and more transparent.

Of course, doing business with Li Xingzhi is more affordable than doing business with the Donglin Party and the Zheng family, so the request of the two to Li Xingzhi to search for the keel of the treasure ship is to pat their chests and promise, and agree to spend 400,000 taels in their own shares to purchase grain.

According to the grain price of Nandu, it is about one tael or two dollars and one stone of grain, and 400,000 taels of silver, which means that the nobles of Nandu only need to raise more than 330,000 stone of grain.

Generous to others, Li Xingzhi is not a stingy person, he only asks the two to transport 300,000 stones, and the rest of the silver is counted as the hard-earned money of the two.

This made Zhu Guobi and Liu Kongzhao's favorability of Li Xingzhi again, look at the people Penglaibo do things decently, this trip to Shandong is really fruitful, not only confirmed the credibility of the Jingbei Army's sea trade, but also got 17,800 taels of silver for nothing.

Li Xingzhi is also happy to be generous, and he doesn't need to pay for it himself, isn't this the routine of fundraising in later generations? Give them some sweetness first, and run away as soon as the money arrives.

After the matter of the city division was settled, Li Xingzhi went to Laizhou to inspect the lecture hall set up near the Tianqi Mountain military camp.

According to Lu Qinghou, ambassador of the Jiangwutang, there were more than 2,000 students in the first batch of Jiangwutang, and these students ranged in age from 9 to 15 years old.

According to the regulations of the lecture hall, these students were divided into nine classes of 300 people each, according to their age, and the instructors were made up of more than a dozen clerks and dozens of wounded soldiers who were to receive one year of cultural and military training in the lecture hall.

Along with these trainees, nearly 100 generals and generals of the Jingbei army at and above the rank of officer, as well as Li Xingzhi's personal guard commander Li Bangjie and the generals brought back from Agate Mountain, were all present as observers, and they all had to undergo short-term training.

The purpose of setting up the martial arts hall is not only to let them read and write, learn military books and tactics and fighting skills, but also to let the officers and soldiers of the Jingbei Army have a sense of belonging through this school, and let the generals under his command know who they want to be loyal to.

The bald head of later generations, who was able to defeat Beiyang and become the nominal ruler of the land of China by virtue of his mere half-provincial land, was also due to his complete set of officer training system.

According to the school rules formulated by Song Guangkun, Lu Qinghou, and others in accordance with the training regulations of the Jingbei Army, the curriculum of this lecture hall is mainly military training, supplemented by certain cultural courses.

All the students must get up and rest, and after waking up at the end of the hour, the students must deal with their personal problems within a quarter of an hour, and then enter the school yard for queue and running training.

Training time is divided according to age group, with half an hour for the younger age group and one hour for the older age group.

At the end of the training, the trainees can receive a half-hour cultural class, because most of these military children are illiterate, and the content they learn is mainly the simplest three-character scripture and the surname of the hundred families.

Li Xingzhi's mind in the Jingbei Army is already Sima Zhao's heart, passers-by know, Lu Qinghou is also a transparent person, under his instruction, all the books distributed by the lecture hall are reprinted, each textbook is equipped with Li Xingzhi's pictures of breaking the enemy and destroying the city, especially the first page of the enlightenment textbook Sanzijing is to depict Li Xingzhi's horse stepping on Yue Tuowangqi's heroic posture.

Allowing these children to receive cultural courses after training is actually also due to the problem of their age, and it is impossible to carry out long-term training tasks.

At the end of the cultural class, there will be a special instructor to teach them the corresponding fighting skills and the use of various weapons, and the older ones will have to learn how to use firearms, which is mainly to see what weapons these students are suitable for.

The morning and afternoon training is basically the same, this is the first stage of learning, which lasts for three months, and after three months, the trainees are reassigned according to their strengths.

When these children were growing up, the military marshal's government issued a strict order that the students must have meat every two days, and the rest of the rice and noodles should be full.

According to the regulations of the martial arts hall, those who can't afford to listen to it will be given 10 canes, those who line up in an irregular manner will be given 10 canes, those who urinate in the open will be given 10 canes, those who do not obey orders will be given 20 canes, and those who brawl and provoke will be punished and rewarded.

This newly-built lecture hall is also built with cement and masonry as the main materials, in the center of the lecture hall school field stands a huge relief as high as three zhang, it is the scene of the Jingbei army breaking Abatai and Yue Tuo, and on both sides of the relief is the big book "not afraid of life and death, obey the command, be loyal to the commander, and swear to destroy the Tartars." "Sixteen big words.

"Mr. Lu has done a good job, our martial arts hall is to instill in the children and soldiers the idea of loyalty to the country and the determination to defeat the Tartars, Lu Qinghou, Lu Qinghou, since you can despise the marquis, it is unknown to be a duke in the future."

Li Xingzhi couldn't help but praise it, the more he looked at Lu Qinghou, the happier he became, although this guy was a scholar, he didn't read to death, he was a usable talent, in front of his cronies, Li Xingzhi didn't hide his ambitions at all.

"Thank you for your humble position! must do his best for the handsome, and then die! ”

Lu Qinghou was overjoyed, he knew that this was because of his actions in the martial arts hall, which was recognized by Li Dashuai.

Song Guangkun and Qian Anning, who accompanied him, as well as Wang Zhong, the general of the second town, and others were also very happy, since the marshal promised a duke at will, he naturally wanted to sit on the supreme position, and Lu Qinghou's cowardly bag could be crowned a duke, and those of us who followed the marshal from birth to death were not allowed to be crowned kings.

"Okay, Ben Shuai doesn't want you to show loyalty here, you call the students into the school, Ben Shuai wants to personally review it, and see how these children's learning results have been in the past six months."

Li Xingzhi waved his hand, waved away Lu Qinghou, who was saluting in front of him, and put forward a request to review the student soldiers.

"Oh, I will obey the orders of the marshal!"

Just when Lu Qinghou was about to convene the students of the lecture hall for review, there was a rapid sound of horses' hooves at the main entrance of the lecture hall.

Li Xingzhi and the generals were all puzzled, and they all took their eyes to see, after all, this is an important place for the school, and the ambassador of the martial arts hall, Lu Qinghou, had issued a strict order that horses should not be ridden unless it was an emergency.

What surprised Li Xingzhi was that the people who came were actually Liu Lishun, the governor of Shandong, Qian Tianxi, the prefect of Laizhou, and Lu Liangzhi, the prefect of Laideng.

"Please Peng Laibo save Xue Ge Lao!"

Liu Lishun didn't care what the reaction of Li Xingzhi and the others was, he rolled the saddle and dismounted when he entered the lecture hall, knelt straight in front of Li Xingzhi, and cried with tears in his eyes.
