With the expansion of Yanjing, the establishment of a school is also urgent. Pen~Fun~Pavilion www.biquge.info the soon-to-be-built university will be named after the city and officially named Yenching University.

Before the completion of the new school site, all teachers and students temporarily taught and studied in the original Jijun Prefecture Governor's Mansion in Yanjing. After the completion of Yenching University, all teachers and students are moving into the new location. At that time, Yenching University will be the largest institution of higher learning in China with the most comprehensive teaching materials.

After a preliminary division, Yenching University was temporarily divided into eight special courses, namely Confucianism, Medicine, Craftsman, Commerce, Military Science, Agricultural Science, Jurisprudence and Miscellaneous Studies. Among them, Jin Shang took the position of dean and concurrently served as a lecturer of Confucianism. However, after the discussion between Jin Shang and Yuan Qi, Confucianism taught at Yenching University shifted more of its focus to the aspect of learning, guiding students to think about life through Confucianism and establish a correct outlook on life, which is somewhat similar to the philosophy of later generations.

Several other courses have also been carefully arranged by Yuanqi. Hua Tuo naturally served as the chief lecturer of medicine; Wang Yezi served as the chief lecturer of craftsmanship; the lecturer of business was temporarily concurrently served by Yi Laozhang; Xu Rong, who had retreated to the second line due to his disability, was the chief lecturer of the military department; because there was no suitable candidate for the time being, Yuan Ying took the initiative to serve as the chief lecturer and served as the state pastor in Youzhou for many years, and Yuan Ying was still very good at agricultural affairs, and was familiar with the climate change in Youzhou, so he was at ease; jurisprudence was temporarily served by Zhuge Liang and Jia Yuan, and he would supplement it after finding a suitable replacement; and finally in miscellaneous science, Yuan Qi himself served as the chief lecturer, because Yuan Qi has all kinds of knowledge from later generations, it is effortless to explain miscellaneous studies.

In addition to the above chief lecturers, Yuan Qi also spent a lot of money to hire Youhe Erzhou. Prestigious people serve as lecturers for various courses, and according to the expertise of these celebrities, they are arranged in appropriate positions, and they truly specialize in the arts.

With the official opening of Yenching University, a large number of scholars from humble backgrounds flocked to the lecturers in order to further strengthen their abilities. For these poor scholars, they are very grateful to be able to get the guidance of the world's famous scholars without paying tuition, so they study very hard. In addition, there are a large number of ordinary people who send their children to study in the college, first, the college provides room and board, which can reduce the burden on the family, and secondly, they also hope that their children can learn a skill and have a way out in the future.

In just half a month, nearly 1,000 students came to Yenching University to sign up for study. Of course, these people who come to sign up will have to go through assessment and review. in order to officially enter the academy to study. Yuan Qi did this in order to prevent some people who did not learn and did not know how to come to the academy to eat and drink in the name of study, and at the same time, he also tried his best to do his best. Eliminate the spies mixed in with the applicants, and eliminate the possibility of infiltration from the inside by the enemy. Finally, after layers of assessment and review, the list of the first batch of official trainees was determined. There were seven hundred and eighty-three people in total.

In addition to the students, there are also some well-known people who have submitted applications to Jinshang. Request to be admitted to the college as a lecturer. What attracted these celebrities was naturally the collection of books in the East View. The arrival of three of them greatly surprised Yuan Qi, making Yuan Qi realize that he still underestimated the allure of the Dongguan book collection.

The first is one of Zhuge Liang's teachers, Mr. Shuijing, Sima Hui. For the arrival of Sima Hui, Yuan Qi greeted him upside down and respected him like a guest. Through conversation, Yuan Qi learned that there were two main reasons why Sima Hui came, the first was naturally the copy of those Dongguan books, and the other reason was that Sima Hui was not at ease with Zhuge Liang, afraid that Zhuge Liang would leave Lumenshan Academy halfway and waste his homework.

The second is Chen Qun and Chen Changwen, who established the Jiupin Zhongzheng system in history. The purpose of his visit was naturally for the temporary copy of the Dongguan collection. For Chen Qun, Yuan Qi's specifications for receiving him were no less than Sima Hui. Yuan Qi knew that Chen Qun was one of the great talents who was ignored in the history books. In history, historians only understated Chen Qun's nine-grade Zhongzheng system, but Yuan Qi knew that Chen Qun's talent was by no means limited to this.

As for the third place, it is like a treasure for Yuan Qi, he is Ma Jun. Ma Jun's purpose is very simple, he has long heard that Wang Yezi is skilled, and has created a hard and extremely tough metal like muddy iron, and he has admired Wang Yezi for a long time in his heart. There is a reason why Yuan Qi attaches great importance to Ma Jun. In history, Ma Jun is a well-known skilled craftsman, who has developed a variety of cross-era inventions such as water wheels and looms, and also transformed Zhuge Liang's first Zhuge repeater to make him more powerful.

With the arrival of Sima Hui and the others, the reputation of Yenching University has been virtually improved, and at the same time, the problem of insufficient allocation of chief lecturers has also been solved. After Sima Hui arrived, he and Yuan Ying jointly served as the chief lecturer of agricultural science, which greatly relieved Yuan Ying's pressure; at the same time, Zhuge Liang and Jia Yuan were also liberated, and Chen Qun served as the chief lecturer of jurisprudence, so that Chen Qun, who could create the Jiupin Zhongzheng system, explained the jurisprudence, and Yuan Qi was also very relieved; Ma Jun was arranged to be under Wang Yezi's door, while following Wang Yezi to learn skills, while serving as a lecturer, teaching the students some knowledge of equipment.

When everything at Yenching University was on the right track, Gu Yong handed a budget list to Yuan Qi with a sad face. As the patriarch of Youzhou, Gu Yong has to be responsible for all the financial expenses in Youzhou, the expansion of armaments and the recruitment of new soldiers have already made Gu Yong worried, and now with the use of nearly 1,000 teachers and students of Yenching University, Gu Yong has directly fallen into collapse, where can he find so much money? In desperation, Gu Yong had no choice but to complain about the current financial predicament in front of Yuan Qi.

"My lord, there is already a fiscal deficit in Youzhou, and if it continues like this, I am afraid it will not be able to support it for even three months. Gu Yong said bitterly.

Yuan Qi also scratched his head in distress, and said helplessly: "Yuan sigh, if it really doesn't work, you can discuss it with Cui Shou and see if you can transfer a batch of money, grain and materials from Bingzhou first, and get through the difficulties in front of you first." "According to Yuan Qi's assumption, with Cui Shouzhi's ability, after taking office in Bingzhou, he will definitely put the merger in an orderly manner, and it should not be too difficult to transfer money and grain from the state.

Gu Yong frowned and said, "My lord, transfer money and grain from Bingzhou. It's not a long-term solution. At present, our army is already stretched thin just for the expansion of the army and Yenching University, and after Lu Zijing starts construction and expansion of Yanjing, the need will be even greater, and at that time, where will I find that much money?"

Listening to Gu Yong's worried words, Yuan Qi really realized that it was not easy to be a big boss. All aspects must be covered, and thanks to the dedicated assistance of the competent officials under his command, this can make Yuanqi's Youhe Group as stable as Mount Tai.

"That's according to Yuan's opinion. What should I do?" Yuan Qi turned his head and asked Gu Yong.

Gu Yong pondered for a moment, and said with some hesitation: "My lord, in the territory of Youji, there is currently only one large commercial house in the Taishi Chamber of Commerce. Although under the management of Yi Laozhang, a large amount of wealth has been gathered for our army, it is far from enough to support all the expenses of our army alone. In my opinion. The lord should introduce other chambers of commerce into the secluded merger in the blank areas that the Taishi Chamber of Commerce has not been involved in, so as to make up for the shortcomings missed by the Taishi Chamber of Commerce, which can not only further promote the economic development of the secluded merger, but also bring more wealth to our army. ”

Yuan Qi looked at Gu Yong in surprise, and the four big words of investment promotion rose in his heart. Gu Yong's remarks were understood as vernacular in later generations, that is, to use the unique local resources and products to introduce the input of foreign capital, so as to promote local economic development. It is no wonder that in history, Gu Yong was able to sit in the position of prime minister of Wu and was in charge of Wu for 19 years.

After being shocked, Yuan Qi looked at Gu Yong with hope and said, "Yuan sighs for his talent, which is rare in the world. Go on and say all the things that are in your mind. ”

For the current financial shortage, Gu Yong has been worried for a long time, and has repeatedly thought about the countermeasures to deal with this situation, now that Yuan Qi asked, Gu Yong simply vomited: "My lord, at present, the only large chamber of commerce that has the strength and ability to bring wealth to our army and is the closest to Youhe is the Shangguan family in Yecheng, Jizhou. The contemporary head of the family, Shangguan Yi, has a free and easy temperament, and does not have the smell of copper as a secular businessman, so he is the object that the lord should try his best to strive for. The Shangguan family is mainly engaged in the salt industry, and other industries such as tea, silk, and silver villages are involved, and there is no direct conflict of interest with Yi Laozhang's Taishi Chamber of Commerce. ”

Glancing up at Yuan Qi and seeing that Yuan Qi was listening carefully to his opinion, Gu Yong continued: " Now Yuan Ding has fallen to the lowest point in fame due to the entanglement of other princes ambushing the lord, and Jizhou has not completely fallen into the hands of Yuan Ding, the Shangguan family must be indecisive at the moment, and I don't know whether to press the treasure on Yuan Ding's body, which leaves time for the lord, the lord should contact the Shangguan family as soon as possible, let the Shangguan family move to Yanjing, let them see the potential huge business opportunities in Yanjing, and then the lord is giving the Shangguan family a certain welfare policy, reducing some taxes, I believe that the above officials are shrewd, and eighty percent will agree to the lord's invitation and join the lord's command。 ”

When Yuan Ding fought against Dong, he secretly sent Yan Liangwen and Chou two generals, and took advantage of the gap between Jizhou Mu and Han Fu leaving Jizhou to attack most of Jizhou. Originally, after the end of the battle against Dong, it was a matter of course for Yuan Ding to take the entire territory of Jizhou in one fell swoop, but because of the ambush of Yuan Qi in Shaxian County, Yuan Ding was criticized by many knowledgeable literati, and his reputation fell to the freezing point, resulting in different voices among the people in Jizhou, and they no longer spared no effort to support Yuan Ding as before. This directly led to Yuan Ding's current predicament, on the one hand, he was eager to expand outward, strengthen his own strength, and use his strength to overwhelm those who were flooding criticism, but on the other hand, he was unable to fully control the entire Jizhou, which made his pace of outward expansion delay again and again.

It is precisely because Yuan Ding has external worries and internal troubles that Yuan Ding must not have the time and energy to win over the Shangguan family. In the final analysis, the Shangguan family is just a family of merchants, and the status of businessmen in this world is extremely low. Yuan Ding is from a big family of the fourth and third dukes, he will not be as short of money as Yuan Qi, no matter how rich the Shangguan family is, it is not the first target that Yuan Ding needs to woo.
