Sun Dali is done, and then Chen Shigong is next, and the medical school is going to research new drugs, such as artemisinin, a special drug for the treatment of malaria, which he has recently been researching.

This research is very important, malaria in the Ming Dynasty is very rampant, the first is that the Ming people generally do not have the habit of drinking hot water, the second is that there are many mosquitoes in the Ming Dynasty, these insects are carrying terrible viruses, if these viruses are raging, it is definitely a tragedy in the world, and there are not a few people who die of malaria in the Ming Dynasty every year.

Therefore, Chen Shigong led the team to overcome this medical problem regardless of hard work, and in order to overcome this medical problem, then money must be indispensable.

Chen Shigong looked at Li Chaosheng with a smile and stretched out two fingers: "Two hundred thousand taels of silver." ”

Li Chaosheng looked at the eighty-year-old man who was still looking at him like a profiteer, and couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Old Chen, why are you coaxing." ”

Chen Shigong said: "County Zun, you said that treating diseases and saving people at any cost, you can't break your word." ”

Li Chaosheng really wants to give himself two big mouths, he has nothing to do with these people, how enthusiastic he was at the beginning, how inspirational, how classic, how troublesome he is today, these guys now like to refute him with what they have said, it's very unpleasant, do you want to slap yourself in the face?

Li Chaosheng had no choice but to say: "One hundred thousand taels, Old Chen, this is my attitude." ”

Seeing this, Chen Lao glanced at Li Chaosheng with great disappointment, and didn't say anything, in fact, 100,000 taels was enough, but when they heard that Li Chaosheng got back two or three million taels of silver from Zhangjiakou, they had to ask more for emergencies.

Of course, the extra money to be returned is not embezzlement, but saved for the next scientific research, after all, it is good for everyone to be rich.

Chen Lao finished his work, and then Li Chaowen said with a smile: "County Zun, our county boundaries have expanded recently, and you see that children in these places are all problems when they go to school, so I see if we can build more primary schools and hire more teachers while we are rich, so as to contribute to our basic education in Lantian." ”

Hearing this, Li Chaosheng touched his head with a headache and said, "How much do you want?" ”

Li Chaowen said: "According to a preliminary estimate, about 300,000 taels of silver are needed, which is enough to build a primary school hall for children to go to school in all areas of Lantian at present. ”

Li Chaosheng gritted his teeth when he heard this: "I approved your money, 300,000 taels is a lot." ”

"Ah, Xie Xianzun."

After listening to Li Chaosheng's words, Li Chaowen thanked him excitedly, and everyone around looked at Li Chaosheng, wondering why Li Chaosheng was so generous, and the reason why Li Chaosheng was so generous was that Li Chaosheng understood a truth: no matter how poor you are, you can't be poor in education, and no matter how hard you are, you can't be bitter about your children.

Lantian now has a literacy rate of an astonishing 20 percent, this literacy rate in the entire Ming Dynasty can be said to be unprecedented, one in five people is literate, which is completely unimaginable in other parts of the Ming Dynasty.

However, Li Chaosheng was not very satisfied, because these 20 percent, in addition to the group of people who originally knew how to read, were more due to the army after Li Chaosheng's forced literacy eradication, and after the popularization of the academy and primary schools, the children's literacy rate increased.

But this is far from meeting Li Chaosheng's expectations, which are to make the new generation of children less illiterate, or at least to make the illiteracy rate lower.

Li Chaosheng was willing to spend more money on this, but before this matter was implemented, two groups of people approached Li Chaosheng, one was from the Ministry of Finance, and these guys told Li Chaosheng that Li Chaosheng's wish was good, but it was too difficult to do it, and it needed money to build a school first, and it was not a small amount.

Then the school is not finished after it is built, and there are teachers who have to pay salaries, and some school-related maintenance fees are not small, which is a great test for Lantian's finances.

Lantian is now in ruins, people's livelihood, army, scientific research, what does not need money, almost every penny is counted, so the Ministry of Finance is reluctant to spend more money on education, they want to ensure that Lantian College provides high-end talents for Lantian to use, so that so many people can know what to do.

As a result, Li Chaosheng didn't listen, but still asked the Ministry of Finance to squeeze out some money for education and basic education.

The second person looking for Li Chaosheng is Li Chaosheng's big political commissar Yang Shubai, Yang Shubai usually has a low sense of existence, but his role is not small, he has been grasping the ideological work of Lantian, the thinking of the army, the thinking of the militia, and the ideological changes of the people, he is checking for Li Chaosheng, and he is Li Chaosheng's most staunch supporter.

However, when Li Chaosheng wanted to engage in this basic education, Yang Shubai found Li Chaosheng, and he expounded a point of view to Li Chaosheng, the more people read, the more disobedient they are, and the more difficult it is to discipline. There is a saying in Taber that the people can make it, but they can't know it.

Li Chaosheng understood that this was the consistent practice of the old ruling class, the policy of ignoring the people, and the purpose was simply to consolidate their ruling class, and for this reason they did not hesitate to stop the wheel of history from advancing.

As mentioned above, during the Qianlong period, Qianlong was not really mediocre and rotten, and did not know that the Western powers' foreign guns and artillery were powerful, and the reason why he did not accept Western foreign guns and artillery was because he was afraid that there would be advanced Western ideas that would follow, and his regime would be unstable at that time.

This led to the Western powers opening the door of the Qing Dynasty with cannons and foreign guns, and plunged China into that humiliating hundred years.

Therefore, Li Chaosheng never wanted to carry out any policy of fooling the people, what Li Chaosheng wanted to do was to educate all the children of Lantian and let them understand the reason, instead of being like the people of the Ming Dynasty.

People say that the great Ming scholar does not know the concept of the country, so how can the people know that Zhu Yuanzhang originally implemented the division of the kings, reversed the wheel of history, and implemented the policy of the family and the world, which is equivalent to telling the world that this world is the world of the old Zhu family, and what does it have to do with you ordinary people.

Defending the land and protecting the family, that is the obligation of the descendants of the old Zhu family, and it has little to do with the people, in fact, Lao Zhu's thinking is also right, after all, it was his old Zhu family who got the greatest benefit at that time, how could his old Zhu family not die.

But it also made a bad start, making the people feel that the world is the emperor, what does it have to do with us, isn't there a saying that the shore of the land is not the king's land, since it is all the old Zhu family, what are we fighting for, the Tartars are also robbing the old Zhu family, and the anti-thief scourge is also the scourge of the old Zhu family, we just need to protect ourselves.

This is not right, the family is the world, the family is the world, how can this world be the world of one family, so Li Chaosheng wants to change, he wants to let more children know how to read and read, open the people's wisdom, and then tell them that Lantian is theirs, not his Li Chaosheng alone, Lantian is the concept of the country, Li Chaosheng wants to pass on the children of the people's wisdom through these words.

When the concept of the country is formed in the minds of these literate children, it is not Li Chaosheng's business to invade Lantian again, it is the business of all Lantian people, no matter who wants to move Lantian at that time, it is against all Lantian people, at that time, how about you Chongzhen is the lord of the Ming Dynasty, what about your Li Zicheng has a million army, and what about your Tartar soldiers and strong horses?

As long as they dare to fight Lantian's idea, they will be drowned in the sea of people, and these literate children are the foundation of Lantian in the future and the hope of Lantian in the future.

Therefore, Li Chaosheng is not stingy with education.

Li Chaowen was very excited to get the full amount of allocation, and the rest of the people looked at Li Chaowen with some envy, and then it was the turn of the last two elders, one was the military elder Li Chaolong, and the other was the elder Guo Bao, who was in charge of the people's livelihood.

Those were all small amounts of money just now, and it was these two who really spent the money, after all, no matter how small a sum of silver multiplied by two or three hundred thousand was huge, as long as the amount came up, the silver consumption would be massive.

Li Chaolong glanced at Guo Bao and said: "I'll come first, County Zun, I came mainly for two things, the first is the upgrading of the army's equipment, and the second is the construction of the Tongguan camp." ”

Tongguan is the gateway to the pass, which is about to fall into the hands of Lantian, Lantian can not have the slightest sloppiness, must build the first line of defense in Tongguan, holding Tongguan is equivalent to guarding the basic plate, in the future in the plot Henan, Shanxi also has a guarantee.

Therefore, Li Chaosheng knew that what Li Chaolong said was very reasonable, so he looked at Li Chaolong and said, "How much does it cost." ”

"Why do you want 800,000, Tongguan is already damaged, after we take over Lantian, it is imperative to rebuild Tongguan."

Hearing this, Li Chaosheng thought for a while and said, "Okay, I'll give 800,000 yuan." ”

"Thanks, Commander."

Hearing this, Li Chaolong smiled and said, Li Chaosheng smiled bitterly, this time of effort, more than half of the silver will go down, and it is not the turn of Guo Bao, a big eater, to speak.

Guo Bao looked at Li Chaosheng's iron-black face at this time and said: "County Zun, someone proposes to build a canal in the whole county, build a new trade route with Lantian as the center, and realize the grand occasion of eight rivers around Lantian. ”

Li Chaosheng's face darkened when he heard this, building a canal, isn't this brainless? Eight rivers around Lantian is awesome, and it sounds very good, but the example of Emperor Yang Guang of Sui is there, can this be cultivated casually? This trouble will put Lantian in a quagmire, and the guy who came up with this idea is either stupid or bad.

Li Chaosheng looked at Guo Bao, this kid doesn't look like a fool, can't he see such an obvious calculation?

Guo Bao saw Li Chaosheng like this and smiled: "But I didn't agree, the guy who came up with the idea also asked me to arrest and torture him, and found out that he was the disciple of Yao Xijun, the law of Yingtianfu." ”

"Yao Xijun?"

Li Chaosheng was very unfamiliar with this name, Guo Bao smiled: "Yao Xijun has an elder brother named Yao Ximeng, and Yao Ximeng's good friend is Zhou Yanru. ”

Hearing this, Li Chaosheng narrowed his eyes, Yao Ximeng, Yao Xijun He didn't know who it was, but Zhou Yanru he knew.

Zhou Yanru, a native of Changzhou Mansion in the south of Zhili, the forty-first year of Wanli, the champion, is a famous smart person, Chongzhen was liked by Chongzhen in the second year, served as the secretary of the Ministry of Rites and concurrently served as a scholar of Dongge University, successfully entered the cabinet, and became the existence of being able to wrestle with Wen Tiren.

However, in the sixth year of Chongzhen, because of his lax mouth, he slandered Chongzhen in private as Emperor Xi, which means that Chongzhen did not act, but was an incompetent master, and was pushed to the end, and then entered a long incubation period, until Chongzhen was reactivated in the fourteenth year.

However, although Zhou Yanru is not in the court, his henchmen are all over the world, and he is also a powerful person, and he is not idle in these old Zhou, all kinds of business, relying on his identity, plus the help of his protégés, the businessman he covers is doing well, which can bring him huge profits every year.

But over the years, he has always wanted to get business privileges in Lantian County, and after being educated by Lantian County a few times, he became resentful, and originally secretly wanted to cooperate with Yang Sichang and detain Lantian for a crime of rebellion, but Chongzhen didn't know what to think, and he trusted Lantian a lot, so the plan failed.

There is a second plan, let people come to Lantian to offer advice.

Li Chaosheng looked at Guo Bao and said with a smile: "This week, Yanru treats me as Chongzhen, hehe, Gu Zi wrote down this matter, and when he finds an opportunity, he must make him pay the unit price, and if he dares to calculate my Lantian, he must make him pay the price." ”

Hearing this, Gu Zi immediately responded: "Yes." ”

After saying this, Li Chaosheng looked at Guo Bao and said, "Okay, since you don't build the canal, how much money are you going to ask for, what are you going to do?" ”

Guo Bao heard this and said: "At present, all parts of Lantian are running well, and there is no need for a large amount of investment, so I came today to tell the county Zun about a more important thing." ”

"Oh, what's the matter?"

Li Chaosheng looked at Guo Bao, and Guo Bao said, "County Zun, it's time for you to get married." ”

"Huh?"

Li Chaosheng's eyes widened, he never expected that Guo Bao would urge him to marry.

Li Chaosheng frowned at this time and said: "This is my private matter, what does it have to do with you, the head of the administrative secretary, and my marriage is also a political matter?" ”

Hearing this, Guo Bao said very seriously: "Count, and it is a very important political matter, your marriage is not your business alone, but a major event related to the future of my Lantian." ”

"Our Lantian is currently thriving, all industries are waiting to be developed, and the future is very good, but we can't do it without an heir, and now it has been rumored outside, the county is not in good health, and he can't give birth to a son, and Lantian died in his lifetime, although it is ridiculous, but it also makes many people suspicious."

"Nonsense, Lao Tzu is in good health, why can't she give birth to a son,."

"Then the county will give birth to a gag for everyone's mouth, and the county has descendants, so we can really rest assured to fight the world for the county with our lives."

After Guo Bao said this, he turned his head to look at the Lantian ministers around him and said, "Do you say yes?" ”

Hearing this, everyone nodded in unison, and Song Yingxing said: "It's time to consider the marriage of the county, and giving birth to an early heir is also good for calming people's hearts." ”

"Yes, yes, county honor, this son can't be delayed."

Sun Dali was also on the side to help, and Chen Shigong muttered at this time: "County Zun, if there is something unspeakable, the old man has a few palace secret recipes, and he will never let the county Zun have any worries." ”

"Me, there's nothing wrong with me."

Li Chaosheng looked at Chen Shigong and said helplessly, if Sun Dali or Guo Bao said this, Li Chaosheng would have scolded, but what the eighty-year-old man said, Li Chaosheng could only justify aggrieved.
