Entering March, spring ploughing is coming, but successive sunny days, more than half a month without a drop of rain, the people of Liaodong have begun to panic, and Tang Tian has already sent people to buy grain before winter, enough to buy five million stone grain, these grains are enough for more than 10 million people in Liaodong to eat for a year.

Liaoyang Hou Mansion

Lei Yun said: "If it doesn't rain now, the whole country will not be able to grow food, and when the time comes, there will be a shortage of food, and other people will have a hard time." ”

The grain harvest in Liaodong last year was enough for the whole world, and 50 million people could eat it for decades.

Tang Tiandao: "Don't worry about the grain in Liaodong, but this year's drought is a good opportunity to earn fame." ”

Lei Yun said disdainfully: "Profiteer, villain. ”

Tang Tian didn't care: "So what, for the sake of the grand plan and hegemony, what is this means?" ”

Lei Yun took a sip of tea: "Li Su sent an envoy to Liaodong, how do you deal with it?" ”

Tang Tiandao: "No matter, from Luoyang to Liaodong is enough for him to walk for a month, this month, what to do, wait until he arrives." ”

Lei Yun said: "Liu Xie wooed you, don't you trick him?" ”

Tang Tian's eyes lit up with green light, and he said, "How is it possible?" Who will have less money in their spare hands? Besides, as long as I promise, how much grain, grass, and money do I want? And I won't lose anything, when the time comes, if he wants me to send troops, let Zhao Jun or Budugen join forces to attack and harass the border passes in eastern Liaodong and give them a little benefit, anyway, if you want me to send troops or lose 600 miles of land and 13 million people in Liaodong, he Liu Xie can see it clearly. ”

Lei Yun couldn't help but scold: "Profiteer, villain." ”

Tang Tiandao: "By the way, the conscription will be conscripted, no matter how many soldiers and horses, all of them will be collected according to the order, anyway, what I have is food." ”

Lei Yun said: "One county, 200,000 troops is not enough? Besides, there are still 200,000 soldiers and horses from the five countries in the north combined, and 400,000 soldiers and horses per person, and they still want to expand their army? ”

Tang Tian said nonchalantly: "It's a troubled world, whoever has food is the father, I have food, I have as many soldiers and horses as I want, and I have more soldiers, I feel at ease, besides, think about it in the future, how exciting is it for you to lead a million soldiers and horses to fight against Zhuge Liang?" ”

Lei Yun laughed: "You still know me, it's okay, I went to conscription." ”

Lei Yun left, and Tang Tian happily went to the backyard to find Lan Ying'er.

Tang Tianzheng was pillowing on Lan Ying'er's white lap, enjoying it comfortably, but he heard someone report from him: "Master Hou, Mr. Cai and Mr. Zheng are here." ”

Tang Tianluo stood up, hurriedly sorted out his clothes, and ran to see Cai Yong and Zheng Xuan.

Tang Tian bowed: "Father-in-law, I've seen Mr. Zheng." ”

Cai Yong said: "Boming doesn't need to be polite. ”

Tang Tian helped Cai Yong to the main position, Cai Yong looked at Zheng Xuan proudly, Zheng Xuan didn't see it, and turned his head to look at Tang Tian: "Boming, the old man came to you today for the opening ceremony of Liaodong Academy and Liaoyang Academy the day after tomorrow." ”

Tang Tiandao: "Father-in-law, have you and Mr. Zheng chosen which college to be the dean?" ”

Cai Yong said: "I am the dean of Liaoyang Academy, he is the dean of Liaodong Academy, and now students from all over the world have gathered in Liaodong, as long as the school starts, it will definitely be prosperous." ”

Tang Tian nodded: "Very good, I'm looking forward to it." ”

Zheng Xuan said: "Boming, are you sure you don't charge tuition?" This can make the college lose a lot of money, and the purchase of teaching aids and books is money, and it is probably not appropriate to rely on the finances of Liaodong alone. ”

Tang Tian said with a smile: "Mr. Zheng, don't worry, there is no shortage of money in Liaodong, just the money from selling salt in Liaodong every year is enough, and the expenses of the two colleges are enough, not to mention, there are countless money from selling paper, tea, and wine, and there will be money for glass in the future, money is not a problem, I am afraid now, there is no teacher." ”

Cai Yong said: "Don't be afraid of this, Kang Cheng and I (Zheng Xuanzi) have already contacted some friends and protégés in advance, that is, you have to deal with the big and small things in Liaodong, otherwise I will definitely let you be a teacher." ”

Tang Tian clapped his hands and applauded: "That's it, that's it, the day after tomorrow will start on time to recruit students and start running the school, I believe that it will soon be able to surpass Yingchuan Academy." ”

Glass is a way to make money that Tang Tian has come up with recently, whether it is in later generations or now, glass is very valuable, but Tang Tian can't find glass mines, but he has sand and stone, after refining, it can form glass, glass is not cleaner and clearer than glass, and the cost is low, there are many styles, and then add some dyes, what color of "glass" is not? If you put it out, it will definitely sell well, such as spices, cosmetics, and perfumes have opened up the market through the ten major families, and the tax and price difference income of these alone is tens of billions every year, and it is about to exceed 100 billion.

Cai Yong and Zheng Xuan happily left the Liaoyang Hou Mansion to run the academy well, and these two academies are the future talent pool of Liaodong, so they can't be sloppy.

It's coming in a blink of an eye, the day of the start of school, Tang Tian sent out the announcement of the opening of the school on the first day, regardless of background, all the people of the big Han can study in the two major academies, and they don't charge any fees, but also food and lodging, there are scholarships for those who study well, and they are at least sixteen years old, and those who pass the examination can also be assigned jobs, and they can even become officials.

Tang Tian's status in the hearts of the people and in the hearts of the scholars has once again improved.

The people call the blue sky.

A sixty-year-old man said excitedly: "Lord Taishou, it really gives our farmers a chance to turn over, and my grandson will finally not have to farm in the future, and if he knows how to read, he will have a way out." ”

The people chimed in: "Yes, where did we ordinary people come to read at the beginning, only the children of rich families can read and write, even if there are a few poor people who occasionally read, they will be excluded, let alone being officials, it is difficult to teach." ”

"That's it, that's it, Lord Taishou is better than the emperor sitting on the dragon chair." One of them spoke suddenly.

The people around him hurriedly covered his mouth: "It's good to know, if someone with a heart hears it, it will hurt Lord Taishou, and our good days will come to an end." ”

The man also knew that he was wrong, and hurriedly gave himself two mouths: "My broken mouth!" ”

At the end of the first day of enrollment, the two colleges enrolled as many as 10,000 people, and the number of people who came to sign up was still increasing.

Fortunately, when Tang Tian built the two colleges, he had already considered the number of students, the two colleges cover an area large enough, almost 50,000 people, and 10,000 people can be added if you squeeze it, but the most are Mengxue people, accounting for eighty percent of the number of applicants.

After all, everyone is a rough person, and they don't know a few big characters, but now that they have books to read, enlightenment teaching is very important.
