"Master Hou, Julu Houfu has arrived." At this time, the moving carriage paused, and the coachman's voice rang out.

That's right, it's Juluhou Mansion. On the way back from Wujiabao, Ito Cheng recalled what he had seen in front of the shops on South Street. He made a thought and did not ask the driver to drive the car directly back to Mrs. Yafu's Mansion. Instead, he diverted the car to the same fiefdom, giving The Juluhou he used.

"I understand." Ito Cheng replied, taking his palm out of Wu Tingfang's underwear.

"You stay in the carriage, I'll go and come back." Then, Ito Cheng said to Wu Tingfang, who was slumped in his arms.

Wu Tingfang, who was blushing, nodded lazily and agreed.

Immediately, Ito Cheng stood up, bent out of the carriage, and stood beside the shaft.

"Tsk, in just a few days, the huge Juluhou has actually become depressed." Looking at the mansion in front of him, which is no longer prosperous as before, and exudes an aura of desolation and decay from the inside out, Ito Cheng couldn't help but feel He curled his lips and said softly.

Then he took a step forward, strode to the front of Juluhou Mansion, stretched out his hand to push open the door, and walked straight in.

Just like the decaying atmosphere exuding from the entire mansion, there is not a single servant in the entire mansion. There are a lot of debris accumulated in the courtyard, as well as traces of man-made destruction. The mansion is empty, and the luxurious items inside have been moved out of the house, as if they had been destroyed. Robbers looted.

"These should be the good deeds of those who traced the cause of Zhao Mu's death and the escaped slaves later." Ito Cheng secretly said as he walked slowly in Juluhou's mansion.

"But that's okay, it's just convenient for me to use it."

Thinking of this, Ito Cheng no longer hesitated. With a thought, he summoned a dozen young men and women.

"Greetings to Your Majesty." Seeing Ito Cheng. These dozen young people all knelt down on one knee and saluted.

"Get up." Ito Cheng said quietly.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." The latter thanked him and stood up from the ground.

"I'll give you one day. Clean up this place and transform all the rooms here into an academy that can be used for teaching." Ito Cheng ordered.

"Yes." The young people responded in unison.

"Here are things you may use." Then, with a flick of his finger, Ito Cheng hit a black ring bullet in front of one of the young men and said softly.

The latter did not dare to hesitate and quickly reached out to take it.

"Go get it." Ito said.

"Yes." The young people agreed, and then they dispersed and began to organize the Juluhou Mansion.

Seeing this, Ito Cheng didn't stay long. He turned around and left Juluhou Mansion again, returned to the carriage, stepped on the shaft and got in, ordering the coachman to take him back to Mrs. Ya's Mansion.

Ten minutes later, the carriage stopped at Mrs. Ya's residence.

"My husband is back." Seeing Ito Cheng and Wu Tingfang getting out of the carriage, Zhao Yaxiao, who happened to be idle in the courtyard, asked.

"Well, I'm back." Ito Cheng smiled and said, "What are you doing?"

"I felt a little bored, so I came out to water the flowers." Zhao Ya replied.

"Oh. Where are Zhao Ni, Qian'er, Xiu'er and the others?" Ito nodded calmly and asked again.

"Sister is still with Pan'er. Qian'er and Xiu'er are in the house."

While talking. The three of them walked into the room.

"Husband." When they saw Ito Cheng walking into the room, Zhao Qian and Guo Xiuer, who were chatting about something in the room, quickly stopped talking, stood up from the couch, and called softly.

"What are you talking about?" Ito asked with a smile.

"Nothing to talk about. Just some girls' family matters." Zhao Qian replied softly.

"Tell me and listen." Ito Cheng, who had already walked up to the two women, stretched out his hand, wrapped his arms around the waists of Zhao Qian and Guo Xiuer, and took them back to sit on the couch. asked with a smile.

"I won't tell you." Zhao Qian's face turned red and she winced slightly. He came out of Ito Cheng's arms and said softly.

"Ha~" Ito Cheng let out a funny chuckle. Then he looked up at Zhao Ya and said, "Ya'er. You go find two servants and come over. I have something to tell them to do."

"Okay." Zhao Ya didn't ask what he was doing, and immediately nodded in agreement, turned around and walked out of the house.

"It's boring at home." Ito Cheng turned to look at Guo Xiu'er who was still sitting in his arms and asked.

"Fortunately, I can read." Guo Xiuer replied softly.

"In addition to reading?" Ito Cheng turned to look at Zhao Qian standing aside and asked.

"Probably something to embroider." Zhao Qian thought for a while and said. Guo Xiuer on the side also nodded in agreement, expressing her agreement.

"..., forget it, don't ask anymore. When I have time, I will come up with a few games for you." Ito Cheng, who felt that the more he asked, the more speechless he became, shook his head slightly and sighed.

"Game? What game?" At this time, Zhao Ya, who happened to hear "Tail", walked into the house with two servants and asked.

"It's nothing, you will know when the time comes." Ito Cheng shook his head and said.

"Okay, just don't ask. Here, the servant you want." Zhao Ya rolled her eyes at Ito Cheng charmingly, then pointed to the two servants beside her and said.

"Young A Ming, A Kuan, I have met Mr. Hou." The two servants who were pointed out quickly knelt down on the ground, bowed their heads and saluted.

"Get up." Ito Cheng said quietly.

"I want you to go out later and find a place with a lot of people. Juluhou is going to open an academy to teach all school-age children in Handan City how to read and write, and has already made people renovate the former Juluhou Mansion. Is there any problem with spreading the word?" After the two stood up, Ito Cheng said again.

"No." The two shook their heads quickly.

Although the two of them have never done anything like spreading rumors, they are not completely incompetent. They just took the opportunity to reveal the words. It is very simple for them. If there are still problems, it can only mean that they The two of them are useless and can no longer be used.

"Then go." Ito Cheng said.

"Yes." The two of them responded respectfully, then turned and exited the room.

"Husband, you want to start a college?" Zhao Ya asked in surprise.

"Yes." Ito Cheng nodded slightly and admitted, "You also saw it on the way back from the palace. Although I created a new character, I also specially used paper books to promote it. But after I responded, almost no one heard about it. . This is not what I want to see, so I am going to find another way to implement it."

"But even if the academy is opened, the young men from the princes' families may not be able to enroll in it?" Wu Tingfang said with a frown.

As Wu Tingfang said, in this era, there is only one most famous academy in the world, and that is Jixia Academy in Qi State. In addition, among all the countries in the world, there is Wuming Academy, and even if there is one, it cannot attract There are so many students, let alone the new college that Ito Cheng built casually, the children of Gongqing's family will never go. Because I can't afford to lose that person.

"Is your husband not targeting the sons of the ministers?" At this time, Guo Xiuer on the side suddenly said.

As soon as she said this, everyone in the room immediately turned their attention to her. Guo Xiuer's face turned red and she looked a little shy.

"Just now, when my husband asked the two servants to send a message, he said that he wanted to teach all children of school age in Handan City to read, and did not specifically refer to the children of your family. So Xiu'er boldly guessed that your husband's intention was not to use rumors to attract the attention of the ministers. Our attention is really to attract children from all over the city to enroll in school so as to promote official script." Guo Xiuer said softly.

"Xiu'er is really smart." Ito Cheng laughed.

"But how many children can be educated in civilian homes?" Zhao Ya frowned.

Zhao Ya does not mean how many school-age children among the common people can be taught, but how many of these school-age children are literate, because during the Warring States Period, people were truly rich in literature and poor in military affairs. If you want to study, it is difficult to succeed if you are not a public servant, and even the vast majority of civilians are almost illiterate! So even those great talents of the Warring States Period, who are of such a high caliber. When teaching disciples, we should also look for teachers who can read and write, rather than starting from ignorant young children like those of later generations.

the reason is simple. Enlightenment is too difficult!

"In addition, do you need to charge me to teach in my husband's academy? How much should I charge? If the charge is too much, even if a commoner's son wants to study, he will not be able to afford the cost of studying." Then Zhao Ya started from On the other hand, concerns were expressed.

"Ya'er, your husband, am I short of money?" Ito Cheng asked.

"Although I haven't seen how my husband is doing, I guess there should be no shortage of him." Zhao Ya shook her head.

The toys that are used daily in the mansion are worth tens of thousands of gold, or even more, not to mention the sales of new wine that are gradually becoming popular outside. If we really want to start a ruthless attack, we will not say that we are as rich as the country, but we dominate the place. It's absolutely not difficult. What's more, Zhao Ya also knows that her man is supported by Guo, Wu and King Zhao, and money will never be lacking.

"Since there is no shortage, how can we value little Chengyi as a husband? Therefore, as long as the children are of school age, I will allow them to study for free." Ito Cheng chuckled and said, "Besides, it doesn't matter if you are illiterate. Enlightenment may be helpful to others. Difficulties don't matter to me as a husband, so as long as they are of the right age, even if they are ignorant children, my husband will accept them!"

"Hiss~" Zhao Ya, Zhao Qian, Guo Xiuer and Wu Tingfang took a breath one after another after hearing this, shocked by Ito Cheng's handiwork.

"Husband, you want to spread your education widely and achieve unparalleled achievements." Zhao Ya sighed.

"When the time comes, will any of the ladies be willing to help me?" Ito Cheng looked at a few people and said with a smile.

"What did your husband say? Since you are married to your husband, we are a family. How can you not help me? If these words are spread, you will be laughed at." Zhao Ya rolled her eyes charmingly and said to Ito Cheng.

The other three people nodded in agreement.

"Well, after the academy opens, Ya'er, you, Zhao Ni, Qian'er, and Xiu'er will go to the academy to serve as the dean, left disciple, and Sanlu doctor." Ito Cheng said with a smile.

Zuotu, like the learned master of Zhao State, is a unique official position of Chu State, mainly responsible for diplomatic affairs, just like the diplomats of later generations.

The Sanlu doctor was also a unique official position of the Chu State, specializing in ancestral temple sacrifices and the education of royal children. It was like the minister of education and religious management committee member in later generations. It was a pretty good job.

As for the dean, the head of the academy, and the principal, there is not much to say.

"Are you going to treat us as Doctor Qu?" Zhao Ya teased.

Doctor Qu Yuan, who died just over 20 years ago, is still very famous. When he was still alive, he served as a Sanlv official and Zuotu, responsible for the diplomacy of the Chu State and the education of the royal family's children.

"It would be great if all of you are really Dr. Qu. When word spreads, I have a very respectable face and will definitely be envied by a bunch of young men." Ito Cheng laughed and joked.

"What about me? What do I do?" After the laughter, Wu Tingfang asked with some dissatisfaction.

"You? If Tingfang is willing, then you will be responsible for the academy's discipline." Ito Cheng thought for a while and said.

"Okay, that's it." Wu Tingfang said with satisfaction.

Ito Cheng smiled, turned to look at Zhao Qian and Guo Xiu'er, and said: "Qian'er, Xiu'er, take the time in the past two days to compile articles from hundreds of schools of thought that are circulating in the world and those that do not belong to any one, such as "Spring and Autumn" and "Spring and Autumn". Compile books such as the Book of Songs and give them to me."

"Okay." The two nodded in agreement.

"My husband wants to teach hundreds of schools of thought?" Zhao Ya asked curiously.

"I'm not so kind as to teach them disciples." Ito Cheng curled his lips.

"That's..." Zhao Ya asked more curiously.

"It's very simple. I want to use these hundreds of schools of thought to promote my official script writing." Ito Cheng chuckled and said, "You must know that these hundreds of schools of thought are very popular among scholars. If I can print them one by one, What will happen to Guangfa Tianxia?"

"Students will definitely rush to pay for it so that they can study it day and night so that they can compete with others." Zhao Ya replied.

"Then what if these books are the same as my "Shuowen Jiezi", printed in official script and Zhao Guoxiaowen?" Ito Cheng said with a smile.

"Uh...husband's plan is really insidious." Zhao Ya said in astonishment.

"How can you describe something that is for the benefit of the world as insidious?" Ito Shigeru said unhappily.

Zhao Ya rolled her eyes at Ito Cheng and ignored him.

"Okay, you can do whatever you want, you don't have to accompany me." Ito Cheng said.

However, for aristocratic women during the Warring States Period, accompanying their husbands was their main business. Apart from that, they could not find anything else to do, that is, they did not have to do laundry, cooking, childcare, etc. like private women. The godson doesn't have to make money by making jokes and performing arts like the working people. He can only stay there and relax, so naturally, Zhao Ya and the others still sit around Ito Cheng, and they have nothing to do with each other. They chatted with each other about interesting things, or discussed things about the academy and teaching with Ito Cheng.

"By the way, Ya'er." After a moment, Ito Cheng opened his mouth and called out as if he suddenly remembered something.

"What?" Zhao Ya looked at Ito Cheng in confusion.

"Tomorrow I will send someone to the Zhao Family Pavilion and invite Zhao Zhi, the daughter of Zhao Ba, the owner of the pavilion, to come to the house and teach the guards and servants martial arts in the house, as well as the singing and dancing of the maids." Ito Cheng said.

"Okay." Zhao Ya nodded in agreement, then glanced at Ito Cheng, and asked with a half-smile, "But where did your husband hear about Zhao Zhi?"

As soon as these words came out, Zhao Qian, Wu Tingfang, and Guo Xiuer also cast their strange eyes on Ito Cheng. (To be continued...)
