After the Song Dynasty left Zhao Pu, he could still turn, and he might not turn badly.

On the first day of August, Zhao Kuangyin came to Zhao Pu's house and first looked at it. Zhao Pu's house was extremely gorgeous, even more gorgeous than the palace. This was what Zhao Kuangyin agreed to, so he glanced at him and quickly helped Zhao Pu's wife up and said, "Sister-in-law, why do you need a big gift?"

He came straight back and Zhao Pu got up from the bed to greet him. Zhao Kuangyin said, "Zeping, can you be healthy?"

"Your Majesty, you have made some hard work for the old minister when you travel north. If you have any trouble, your Majesty will worry."

"Zeping, I have poor thoughts on this business. Alas, the matter has passed, so don't mention it."

It was equivalent to admitting his mistake to Zhao Pu in disguise. Zhao Pu did not mention it, and said: "Your Majesty, the old minister has recently followed His Majesty's words, lying on the bed and reading some books. He has read the history of the establishment of the Tang Dynasty. When the Tang Dynasty was not stable, he once praised the Turks. This is the lesson of our dynasty. If the country is strong, he must first cooperate with the Khitan and attack the Han and Tang Dynasties. After a few years, the country will be prosperous and strong. Not only Taiyuan, but also the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun can recover. This is the best strategy for the country. If you get into evil with the Khitan people at this time, you will be attacked by the north and south, and attacked from both sides and from both sides, the country will be in danger."

He talked about the Tang Dynasty, but did the Tang Dynasty hand over Youzhou to the Turks, and it took several years to unify the world and use wars to the desert. Moreover, there was a Sui Dynasty ahead. The internal and external environment of Emperor Wen of Sui was far worse than that of the Song Dynasty. If it were to say that military talents might not be as good as Zhao Kuangyin, but it would be the south and then north, or north and then south? But the biggest advantage of Zhao Pu's approach of being at ease with a small wealth is stability. From the bottom of his heart, whether it was five thousand or more than one hundred thousand or two thousand or twenty thousand, it was not the war that Zhao Kuangyin wanted, and the variables were too great. Zhao Kuangyin was very disliked.

"The Khitan may not be willing to negotiate with us."

"That may not be the case. The original Liao lord is dead. The new lord succeeds to the throne, and the strategy may change."

"Look at it again. Zeping, what do you think Nanhan?"

"The Southern Han can be defeated," Zhao Pu climbed up, that's right. Why are you fighting Taiyuan? He quickly took out a map from the study. Zhao Kuangyin was speechless, grandma. You are also called sick. Zhao Kuangyin knew how he got sick, but he couldn't say it clearly, and waved his hand and said, "You don't need to say it, I know in my heart. Can you tell me if you can attack?"

"Your Majesty, this year's war has passed. The old minister thinks it's best to attack the next year."

"Okay, just next year, today you can accompany me to the academy to take a look."

Zhao Pu couldn't refuse. Who made him happy to run away just now, so he said: "Your Majesty, the old minister has a saying that the academy is becoming more and more important. The old minister once did a statistics before. The imperial court used a total of more than 100 students, and the number was not large. However, more than 30 students became county magistrates, or county magistrates, or supervisors. This time is not long, and more and more will come in the future. Officials will be promoted. No matter how the academy is done, the personal imprint is too deep, and the old minister is very worried."

"I have a good idea," Zhao Kuangyin was impatient this time, thinking to himself, it doesn't matter how you fight with your second brother, why should you drag Song Jiu down? Zhao Pu's words didn't work, because Song Jiu also talked about this. He was actively eliminating this imprint. But there are still, because he is the main method of teaching material arithmetic, which is not possible without him. If you want to let go, you can't let it go for more than ten or twenty years. Zhao Kuangyin was very surprised. You only learned a while with your husband. Could it be that it can't be finished in decades? Song Jiu explained that he was also improving in the teaching process, and he could even widen the gap. How can he finish it in a few years? Therefore, the best way is to teach for a few years first, cultivate a group of truly knowledgeable students, and then open some secondary schools in various places.

Small academies, such as Guangguitan Hongyihang Hubei and Qing, such as Jiangning Prefecture, Daming Prefecture, and Jingzhao Prefecture, have about ten, and have radiated the whole country. Song Jiu did not explain that they were still in the hands of the enemy. In more than ten years, these areas could not be taken back. So no matter who served as the mountain leader, the marks would be removed after a few years. Just like glazed glass, it would not be unusual to have too many. Furthermore, the only place in the academies is not enough. In the future, the country will be unified and settled. The Song Dynasty will focus on internal governance, and the population will increase rapidly, just like in the Jianghuai region, some people have no worries about food and clothing, and the family will start to raise four or five children. After twenty years, they will all grow up. But the academies release at most 300 students a year. The whole country is not enough. Zhao Kuangyin agrees deeply.

Perhaps the cunning Song Jiu is not as good as Zhao Pu, and his ideas are childish, but the biggest advantage is that he thought he was selfish, but he actually misreaded it. This kid also has selfishness, but one of the most precious things is contentment. I used to think that he was doing it randomly, but he misread it. This kid is actually not, and he knows how to advance and retreat very well.

This is what Zhao Kuangyin needs.

But I didn't dare to say in front of Zhao Pu that as long as I said that, my butler might be jealous and beat Song Jiu to death.

"Then the old minister will be relieved." Zhao Pu knew the tactfulness and didn't ask. In his eyes, although he was a little dissatisfied with Song Jiu, this character was too small and insignificant, so he didn't need to waste energy to deal with him.

Zhao Kuangyin took Zhao Pu's hand and came out, and there were other ministers in the living room.

The imperial guard went to Hezhou, but on the way, Zhao Pu was thinking about how to get Fu Yanqing over.

Suddenly he looked up and asked, "Your Majesty, it's not right."

"I want to take a look at the river."

Zhao Pu understood and didn't make a sound. He wanted to see everyone. After getting on the fly bridge, there were three flying bridges in total, and the scenery was very elegant. There was also a rockery at the bridgehead. Everyone knew that there was a trolley next to it, and it was improved one after another, with more reasonable and lighter design and faster rotation. There was also a tower, a small temple, and a small square, which was not too big, but it could also be a scenic spot. Then there was a spacious street. On both sides were neat and beautiful houses, painted with snow-white lime, and spacious glazed windows. It was not too luxurious, but it became beautiful when neat. Zhao Kuangyin simply came down from Yulu, looked around, and then smiled and said, "This kid is also capable. If thousands of families in the big river, they will change like this."

There is one thing that is bad. In addition to shops on the street, many families are mostly elderly and children at home, and adults go to Hezhou to do work together. Zhao Kuangyin thought of that year, so he broke into the family and asked an old woman: "Mom, how many times do your family eat in a month?"

"Your Majesty, you can eat it more than a dozen times."

"So much." Zhao Kuangyin was confused. He could understand how many times he ate meat. He couldn't understand how many times he ate meat for more than ten times. Besides, he built a new house. He would have to be nervous for a while. He was not from a noble family. He had also been a civilian, so he understood.

"Sometimes I bought it myself, and I also distributed it to the store's remaining materials." The old woman said tremblingly. She thought to herself, does the emperor like me to eat meat?

When talking about Shundian, Zhao Kuangyin still remembered it freshly and remained silent. Then he looked around and saw that the furniture was still simple, but even if he built a new house, it was not too shabby. Zhao Kuangyin thought of the bridge again. From Hezhou to Hezhong, there were a series of bridges, large bridges, small bridges, and this bridge might not all flow into the country, and some of them flowed into the pockets of the people of the two rivers. So he walked out to look at Hebei, and there were also many new houses, and there were almost no thatched huts.

The change is unimaginable.

So he walked to Song Jiu's house again. Song Jiu was waiting for him in the academy. Pan Lian'er was at home. He was about to give birth and could not go out. Otherwise, he would also follow him to the academy. Pan Lian'er wanted to show off, but Zhao Kuangyin helped her and said, "You don't need too much etiquette. I just heard that your family has moved to a new home. Come and take a look, don't hurt the child in your belly."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Zhao Kuangyin entered the Song family. This time he had a regular gatehouse, and finally he looked like an official's house. A row of buildings in the middle of the house were demolished. Judging from the big locust tree, the location of the entire house was moved a little. The area seemed similar. Zhao Kuangyin had never doubted this. Song Jiu said that he would not increase the area without increasing the area, although the people would not object. There was also the living room, small yards, which were less neat than before, but more elegant. Including the decorations in the house, Zhao Kuangyin sipped tea and looked at the decorations and utensils in the house.

This is very important.

Observe the small things and know it.

There are no students in the house, and it will be a regular official residence in the future. It is very gorgeous. The important thing is that it is not vulgar, unlike some people's golden walls. Zhao Kuangyin slowly said: "It's getting better now, and it's a little noble."

"His Majesty……"

"Miss Pan, don't worry, I'm very satisfied with it." Zhao Kuangyin said. If the Song Jiu family is really shabby, he will suspect that if he makes so much money in a year, he will spend all his money on the country and the people. Is there such a good person? He will even think about Wang Mang.

Song Jiu would not be Wang Mang, nor would he do this. What he saw was the luxury method. In the past, he occasionally asked the eunuchs to calculate how much money Song Jiu earned in a year and how much money he spent, but in the end he simply didn't forget it. Who could calculate it? I only knew that he made so much money in a year, but the money was not enough to spend. As long as he missed a sum in the middle, it would be enough to turn the Song Jiu family into a dragon palace.

But he was not very happy, what was the difference between that and Zhao Pu? Moreover, Song Jiu and Zhao Pu were completely different in nature. Since he was the second luxury Zhao Pu, then just be a teacher for the rest of his life. I'll see, it's not bad.

He asked again: "Madam Pan, how long will it take for you to give birth?"

"The doctor said that within this month, I was so scared that I didn't even dare to walk."

"Try hard, if you give birth to a baby boy, I will give him a viscount from the founding kingdom."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Pan Lian'er was overjoyed. Many yamen seemed to be amazing all day long and had not given any official titles yet. However, she was in trouble. What if it was her daughter.

Zhao Pu and some ministers talked and did not say anything else. They just talked about the academy. Song Jiu subsidized more than 80,000 yuan in secret. This is what they knew, and they might have to be more. But Song Jiu never said this, and even many middle and low-level officials did not know about it. They only knew that Hezhou donated a sum of money, and then the court took out the money to build the academy. In fact, the court only paid 50,000 yuan in secret. Or they supported a lot of free manpower. With this alone, it would be enough to give a viscount.

Zhao Kuangyin stood up.

He looked up at the south again. Everyone said that Song Jiu married Pan Mei's daughter and was a little bit arrogant. In fact, it was not true. Maybe Pan Mei's old man would benefit from Song Jiu's glory. Pan Mei is lucky.

Then we walked to the academy.

There were more than 400 students, and only twenty students came out when they graduated. Some of them were asked by their parents to leave, and more than a dozen people were requisitioned for the court. The others were not released and all went to the academy. Not to mention private, even the departments of the court were eager to see them.

At the same time, more than 30 first-year students were recruited, and it seemed that more than 1,000 people were taken, and only more than 30 people were recorded. Then there were beginners, which were equally strict. Sixteen classes from the second to fifth grades could accommodate 800 people, but in fact they only recruited 400 people. It was not that the number of people was insufficient, but that the grade was insufficient. Or that the first grade was full.

Song Jiu used the good man to lure another 140,000 yuan in money, plus the donations from the Pan brothers and other donations, a total of 230,000 yuan in money. He rushed into the Hezhou Contract Stock in the second half of this year and used dividends to support the academy. This is what Zhao Kuangyin heard about, and there are others, but it is not his concern.

There were more than 900 people standing neatly on the playground. Zhao Kuangyin said a few words, so he shouted long live the mountain.

Although this small action is the disciple of the emperor, it would be a good experience to go out and rely on this in the future.

The students returned to the classroom with great enthusiasm. This was the first time some students saw Zhao Kuangyin when they grew up. I wonder if they were so excited at night that they could sleep. Zhao Kuangyin looked at Mr. Zhu again. In addition to Liang Zhouhan and Zhu Ang, Song Bai and Zhang Quhua were used as deputy directors. After Song Jiu, there were also Zhang Yan and seven deputy directors to eliminate Song Jiu's mark. At the same time, there were more than 30 Confucian scholars, including Zhu San. However, Zhu San had the least qualifications among them.

The rest of the men were even more diverse, including old farmers, craftsmen, doctors, a piano maker, two painters, and guest-starring officials, some veteran officials, and other people of all kinds. Finally, they were military generals, and most of them were guest-starring, including Shi Shouxin, Gao Huaide, Zhang Lingduo, Wang Shenqi, and Feng Jiye. No gentleman was appointed. If he was happy, he would come, and if he was unhappy, he would not force him. If he couldn't set up, who could control them?

There was some small dispute in this regard. Song Jiu simply refuted a few words. The academy trained clerks and state-assisted talents, such as old farmers, who don’t even know how to assist officials in governing agriculture. For example, they don’t even know whether they have business operations, whether they have profit or loss, and how to properly collect commercial taxes.

Zhao Kuangyin heard it all, the academy aimed at cultivating practical talents. The country needs these practical talents, and of course, it also needs Confucian scholars. Using Confucianism can consolidate the state's power and maintain social stability. Everyone has their own needs, so why should we oppose it? Therefore, it is not up to date.

He said, "Several mountain leaders, take me around."

I have to visit it and first look at the laboratory. Zhao Kuangyin looked at it very important and did a good job. One is the experimental area of ​​ordinary students and the other is the special experimental area, which is the experiment that needs to be kept confidential. The laboratory of Song Jiu was mostly moved to this experimental area. Its funds were also independently paid by the state and Song Jiu, and it had nothing to do with the academy. I also looked at the canteen, library, the dormitory of the teacher, and the student dormitory, which were all neat, with bright windows, four beds, two tables, four chairs, and other facilities.

Zhao Kuangyin compared with the Imperial Academy again, and then he felt bitter. The Imperial Academy was too shabby.
Chapter completed!
