The competition for regions, the competition for academies, and the competition for talents made the capital in this early winter extraordinarily lively.

When the war of words was in full swing, the imperial court, which had been silent until now, finally moved.

The Guozijian was dismissed from the beginning to the end, from offering wine to teaching, and even the petty officials and the sweeping women were not spared.

The imperial court transferred personnel from various yamen to form a new Guozijian.

Unexpectedly, the new Guozijian sacrificed wine, and it turned out to be a clan.

In terms of seniority, he is Emperor Wende's cousin, and he is less than sixty years old. If he is in good health, he can work for at least ten years.

Gu Jiu had to call Uncle Tang when the new Imperial Academy offered wine.

She was very curious, and taking advantage of Liu Zhao's presence, she asked him, Do you know the number of the new Guozijian offering wine?

Liu Zhao said: He is the queen of the Jin Dynasty. He has been eager to learn since he was a child. He also secretly participated in the imperial examination under a pseudonym. He is a serious second-class Jinshi.

Gu Jiu was speechless.

The descendants of King Jin were born rich and honored. He can still study quietly, even take part in the imperial examination under a pseudonym, and get a second-class Jinshi. This level is definitely top-notch in the clan.

Few of the clan's children can calm down to study and practice martial arts.

Studying and practicing martial arts requires hardship. Clan members are used to living a carefree life, so how can they suffer.

Let Liu Zhao take the imperial examination, and he will definitely not pass the exam.

Gu Jiu teased him, If you were to play, would you be able to pass the Jinshi exam?

Liu Zhao actually thought about it seriously, If you rush to take the exam, you will definitely not pass the exam. Give me two years to concentrate on studying, and it should be fine.

Gu Jiu pursed her lips and smiled, I really want to see how you look in the imperial examination.

Liu Zhao was straightforward, I'll go to Shanhe Academy to stay in room number 1 for a few days tomorrow, and you'll know what it's like when I take the imperial examination.

Gu Jiu spat at him, the two laughed for a while, and finally Gu Jiu begged for mercy.

She said: The new Imperial Academy Jijiu must have good ability. Your Majesty intends to promote the clan, so he must not find a half bucket of water to embarrass himself.

Liu Zhao also said: Managing the Guozijian is not a big problem for Uncle Tang. What is difficult is how to ensure the results of the imperial examination next year. If the Imperial Academy fails to produce results in the imperial examination next year, the scene will be very ugly.

How many goals has Shanhe Academy set?

Gu Jiu opened his mouth and said, Thirty Scholars, the minimum goal given to me by the academy. With Yang Ji's knowledge, there is a chance to reach the top. Whether he can be selected as the number one scholar depends on his luck and performance on the spot.

Liu Zhao said with a smile: Yang Ji is already Jie Yuan, if he can be selected as Hui Yuan, champion, Shanhe Academy will produce another San Yuan Gong.

Gu Jiu shook his head again and again, Impossible! Sanyuangong is not so cheap. Once there are two Sanyuangongs, and the difference is only a few decades, it will give people a feeling that Sanyuangong is worthless. Your Majesty will never Doing this kind of thing. No matter how much he dislikes Mr. Yang, he doesn’t want the title of Duke Sanyuan to drop in value. This will become a laughing stock for future generations, making them think that this dynasty is shallow and deceitful.”

Liu Zhao took her hand: So you've thought about it so much.

Gu Jiu rubbed his brows, I can't do it if I don't want to. The academy set a goal of thirty Jinshi, I was a little guilty, worried that they set the goal higher, and they would be slapped in the face in the end. So I specially issued a password, You are not allowed to talk about the 30 Jinshi goals. As many as you can take the exam, it doesn’t matter even if you only get Yang Ji.”

If only Yang Ji is admitted as a Jinshi, the number of students of Shanhe Academy next year will drop significantly.

Gu Jiu raised his eyebrows and smiled, However, this year's provincial examination, Shanhe Academy has achieved brilliant results. According to the results obtained so far, more than 700 people have participated in the rural examination, and a total of 87 candidates have passed the examination. This year's scholar department is also good, slightly improved on the basis of last year. There is an uptick.

Seeing Gu Jiuxi's smiling face, Liu Zhao also laughed.

He hugged her, That's great!

Where is it good?

Anywhere is good! Shanhe Academy is thriving and attracting talented students like Yang Ji. You have contributed a lot. Next year, the imperial examination year will definitely have a big harvest.

Gu Jiu smiled and said, I would like to borrow your good words. The imperial examination is still a few months away, and sometimes I feel nervous. I didn't feel this way the first two times.

That's because Shanhe Academy's influence is getting wider and wider, and it is receiving more and more attention. You are afraid that there will be mistakes in the academy, and you are afraid that the students will not do well in the exam and damage the reputation of the academy, so you are nervous.

Liu Zhao's analysis was so logical that Gu Jiu couldn't refute it.

She nodded his head, you're right. So when I'm nervous, don't mess with me.

Liu Zhao was wronged, it was absolutely wronged.

He said eloquently, Even if you're not nervous, I didn't mess with you.

Humph!

Shanhe Academy has quarreled with Guozijian for several years, and next year's imperial examination year will be the time to see the truth.

Regardless of how powerful the mouth was in the past, it was all falsehood that college students could not pass the Jinshi exam.

Or the number of people who have passed the Jinshi exams is too small to be worthy of the reputation of the academy, so the reputation is also vain.

Students all over the world want to see real results.

The teaching in the academy also requires tangible results to prove one's teaching ability.

Only with real achievements can Shanhe Academy be qualified to compete with Guozijian.

Only then can he declare loudly: Only the Imperial Academy is qualified to be an opponent in the academy of the world.

These words are very annoying, but they are domineering and cool enough.

The students of Shanhe Academy are young and energetic. They are a group of young people who are not afraid of big things, and are not afraid of being bullied.

They are more willing to bully others.

Shanhe Academy has to produce real results, so that the students have the confidence to go against others.

As the founder of the academy, Gu Jiu was under a lot of pressure.

She had to restrain herself and not put her pressure on the teachers and students of the academy. She is afraid of affecting everyone's performance.

Hence, Gu Jiu shifted his attention to the 'Small Blacksmithing Workshop'.

...

In the western suburbs of the capital, about 30 miles away from the city gate, there is a mountain depression, surrounded by mountains and rivers.

In the past, this col was very barren and full of rocks. Local people rarely set foot here.

Now, this place has been transformed by manpower, and a huge flat land has been leveled out.

On the flat ground, rows of concrete houses were built, and tall chimneys were also built.

The road leading to the outside is paved with concrete, allowing four carriages to pass side by side.

A watchtower is built on the top of the mountain, condescending, and the surrounding environment is unobstructed.

This is the small blacksmithing workshop that Gu Jiu talked about.

The small workshop, which was originally deserted, suddenly had a lot of people one day.

Ten of them looked at their surroundings vigilantly with fear and anxiety.

Bai Zhong led the ten people to the accommodation area first.

One person, one room. After settling down, if you don't mind the poor conditions here, you can bring your family to live here. Then the house will be redistributed. Meals are downstairs, and a cook is specially invited to cook. Three meals a day, with meat every meal. In addition, each of you has a monthly salary of five taels of silver.

boom!

The small team of ten people exploded in an instant.

Can you eat meat every day?

Can we really get paid?

Is there really five taels of silver a month?

It can't be a lie.

These rough guys all looked very old.

In fact, the oldest one is less than fifty, and the youngest one is only twenty-eight.

In the past, as blacksmith slaves who would serve as prisons, they did not receive wages, let alone eat meat every day. It's good enough to eat.

Bai Zhong coughed lightly, signaling for everyone to quiet down and listen to him.

He said loudly: I don't know what life you have lived in the past, but when you come to Sihai Trading Company, as craftsmen, you should enjoy the treatment that craftsmen should have. In addition, in addition to the basic salary, there are also bonuses. Bonuses are determined according to the degree of task completion. , How to calculate the bonus specifically, there will be a form, and I will explain it to you one by one.

In addition, everyone must bring an apprentice, and if you bring out an apprentice, you can get a bonus of thirty taels. After the apprentices leave the teacher, every time you make a finished product, you, as the master, can get a dividend. Now, I assign the first task, refining refined iron and refining refined steel!

boom!

The crowd exploded again.

These blacksmiths talked a lot.

It is still possible to refine refined iron, refined steel, I can only think about it.

How to refine if the temperature cannot be reached?

Isn't this nonsense?

Bai Zhong said expressionlessly: You just do it, money is not a problem, pay as much as you spend. If you have any problems, don't worry about it, just bring it up, as long as it is a reasonable request, I will do my best to help you solve it. And your task , is to try our best to refine refined iron and refined steel. As long as the task can be completed, each person will be rewarded with one hundred taels. If someone has made outstanding contributions, there will be additional rewards.

Under heavy rewards, there must be brave men. If you don't believe this group of technical talents, you can't refine fine iron and steel.

boom!

The team of ten exploded again.

Is there really a reward of one hundred taels for completing the task?

How much is needed, how much is given, really?

Can any questions be asked?

It's not coaxing us.

Bai Zhong roared, After the work is done, you will not only be rewarded with money. If you want, you can also get rid of your slave status, buy a house and settle in Xinmin County, and be a good citizen. Your wives, children, and brothers, if they want, can also come to you. Work here.

However, you have to remember that if the boss spends so much money to support you, you must be loyal. Everything you see, hear, and experience here is kept secret. If someone slipped up and leaked the wind, I'm sorry, go back where you came from.
