Chapter 232 Private School and Animal Farm

After more than ten days in succession, many people from the surrounding counties also came to seek refuge.

Li Ming was a little strange, why there were so many people now, when no one came to seek refuge before?In the end, it was Xun Biao who told him the truth: "Not to mention that you were not famous earlier, but that you have no heirs so far, how can others feel at ease to rely on you?"

A family can only be called a family if it has an inheritance. Before that, Li Ming could only be regarded as an upstart at best.Once there are no descendants, all achievements will be wiped out. Who would take refuge in a short-lived family?That is to say, Xun Cai is pregnant, so they are willing to take a 'risk' to seek refuge. If a boy is born, I am afraid that more people will come to seek refuge!

What makes Li Ming speechless is that there is really only one scribe out of a hundred people, and out of a hundred scribes...well, there are not more than 100 scribes to vote for, and he can't see a few outstanding writers out of more than a dozen. Become the existence of staff.

"Not bad!" Xi Zhicai helped the more than ten scribes in the examination. "In these days, how many people can study at ease? How many people can read so many books? These 15 people are not very old. There is still room for training, you can work in the position of a small official for a while, and let them read some books when they have credit, and after a long time, their loyalty and culture will improve."

It is a relief, but it is actually a hint: the county officials in Kuaiji County have not been completely replaced!

"Discuss with elder brother (Xun Biao) and gradually replace them!" Li Ming nodded. Many of those county officials were members of the four major families, and they were indeed not as easy to use as their own.It is rare for these 15 people to have self-knowledge. Although they did not sell themselves, they already recognized Li Ming as the master and called him the lord.

"Here!" Xi Zhicai bowed his hands and accepted the order.

"Zhicai, how do you think we can get more literati to come to seek refuge? You know, I plan to gradually infiltrate various counties, but I don't have enough manpower, which makes me very headache. I can't all rely on Wang or Xun. Sir?" Li Ming asked with a bit of a headache, a dozen scribes just set up the county officials, and it would take a look to see if they could be used.

"My lord, it's better to ask someone to come to you than to train yourself! Every family has a private school, and the lord's family has a rich collection of books, why not establish a private school and cultivate a group of talents?" Xi Zhicai suggested.

"That's right, how could I have forgotten this!" Li Ming suddenly complained. Of course, the talents he cultivated are the best.

"My lord is busy with affairs, so it's normal to ignore it. Besides, it's not easy to run a private school. The training period is very long, and the income is almost non-existent. My lord's finances were tight before, so it's not easy for my subordinates to give advice." Xi Zhicai said with a wry smile.

In this era, private schools burn a lot of money. If it wasn't for cultivating talents, few people would run private schools.For example, Yingchuan Academy, if not for the joint funding of several aristocratic families, I am afraid that it would not be able to continue.As for the subsequent Shuijing Villa, in fact, many aristocratic families in Jingzhou contributed capital, which made it possible.

After Xi Zhicai left, Li Ming approached Xun Cai and told him about it. The latter took out the account book and put it in front of Li Ming.

"Although the patent medicine workshop has started to operate, it is not yet time to pay dividends. The soy sauce workshop has just shipped out, and there is no way to withdraw a large amount of funds in a short period of time. The husband has to take care of the food for the soldiers, and the family's funds are only struggling to maintain... Private school It's a bit too much, how about running an ethnology first, training a dozen family members, and accumulating experience in running a school by the way?" Xun Cai pointed to the income and expenditure in the account book, and said to Li Ming.

When Li Ming saw the expenditure above, the blood in his heart suddenly cooled down by half.It is said that the traveler can invent something casually, and he can make a lot of money immediately. How come his expenses are not balanced?
In the end, of course, I can only agree with Xun Cai's suggestion, don't count on private school, let's run an ethnology school first!This is simple, find a room and decorate it, prepare five or six sand basins for writing, prepare one or two enlightenment books, and then select five or six good-minded people from the family who like to learn to come in.The Confucian classics teachers all have ready-made ones, and Li Ming directly recruited Cai Yan as a young man!
Only three days before and after, ethnology classes can already start.Five or six students were sitting in the lower part, listening attentively to Cai Yan, who was much younger than them, teaching in the upper part, for fear of missing anything.It is no joke in this era that knowledge changes destiny.From the day Li Ming promoted them from the army, they cherished this opportunity very much!
It was impossible for Li Ming to watch them all the time. After learning about the government affairs, he went to Kuaiji Mountain.Even now, members of the four major families will not regard him as a reckless man. After the two parties have compromised their interests, there are no problems in government affairs.

"Pan Bao, how is Xiaolei and Chiyan's situation?" Li Ming came to Kuaiji Mountain, where a five-mile radius was sealed off, and the newly recruited [-] mountain troops were training here and guarding the beast farm at the same time. .

A large number of wild beasts were raised here, and the food chain slowly recovered. Earlier, in order to capture the big monster, the ecology of this place was destroyed. As a result, Kuaiji Mountain was no longer a spiritual mountain.In terms of the food chain, it was not fully recovered until Li Ming became the prefect of Kuaiji.

"Lei Ting still needs to eat milk, and the few boars are used to the new home. Chi Yan goes out to hunt every day, but he can still eat enough! It's just that the consumption of this beast is a bit high. In order to restore the so-called food chain of the lord, I'm afraid it will take more Part of the funds will be invested one after another!" Pan Bao reported in panic.

"This place is also a bottomless pit!" Li Ming smiled wryly. He invested a lot of spoils in this animal farm, but Pan Bao told him that the investment was insufficient.

"However, there are new discoveries!" Pan Biao stepped forward and said, "In the past two days, all kinds of wild animals have stopped running away and settled down. At the same time, in the place where Chi Yan and Lei Ting live, the aura seems to start It's a little bit thicker. Just yesterday, near their new home, there seemed to be a medicinal herb that was turning into a panacea."

"Really?" Li Ming suddenly exclaimed.

"How can a subordinate deceive the lord in such a matter?" Pan Biao complained in a low voice.

Li Ming ran over immediately, and Chi Yan happened to be breastfeeding, and was lying lazily in the new home at the moment.This is a cave on Kuaiji Mountain, near the top of the mountain. Li Ming had someone simply repair it, and it was used as Chi Yan's new den.

"Lulu!" Seeing Li Ming approaching, Chi Yan hummed a few words. After all, he had just been domesticated, so he might not be that close to Li Ming.However, Li Ming was initially recognized, so when he saw him approaching, he did not obstruct him.

"Has Lei Ting opened his eyes?" Li Ming saw the blue-black tiger Lei Ting staring at him, but picked it up.

Lei Ting really opened his eyes, just yesterday, and instinctively regarded Chi Yan as his mother.But it still remembered Li Ming's smell, so it didn't reject it.But when Li Ming wanted to hug it, the little guy was reluctant and bit his arm.

"Okay, why don't I stop hugging you?" Li Ming smiled wryly, and put it down.

"Meow!" Lei Ting waved his paws, as if to demonstrate, but in Li Ming's eyes, he was acting cute.

"Huh...do you really have a weak aura?" Li Ming smiled, then took a deep breath, suddenly surprised.
