President of Datang [Transmigration Book]
Chapter 130
After He Zhizhang woke up, he lay lifeless on the bed.
Everyone came to see him after getting the news, but no matter who spoke, He Zhizhang always said: "I know, let me be quiet."
He Zhizhang understands everything, but he just can't get over this hurdle in his heart.
Li Tan came over and said softly, "Mr. He, now is not the time to be sad, we still have important things to do."
He Zhizhang looked at him, his originally bright eyes had become cloudy.
Li Tan felt sour and said, "We have to copy the book, so that it will not be lost because of it, and those students who escaped must also be resettled. At most, I will take care of one or two in terms of money, and other places. I'm afraid I won't take good care of it."
When He Zhizhang heard the word lost, his heart was touched, and he asked, "How many copies can we keep?"
Li Tan was even more sad when he heard his hoarse voice. He held his hand and said, "It's all there, it's all there...Actually, I haven't told you the truth. The ancient books in the bookstore are all imitations. At the beginning, I just wanted to use it as a collection of books, so I wanted to put ancient books there, but I didn't expect to build an academy. I was a small person, and I was worried that it would be damaged, so I got a copy. "
He Zhizhang was a little surprised when he heard it, and then said with drooping eyelids: "But now I can't go to Chang'an."
He didn't reprimand Li Tan for his narrow-mindedness. It must be difficult for Li Tan to collect such precious ancient books. If he wasn't worried at all, He Zhizhang would be surprised.
To be able to make copies of the past for students is already a big measure of his tolerance.
Li Tan pretended to be embarrassed and said: "That...is not in Chang'an, I brought it with me when I came here, but it's not in the palace now."
He Zhizhang asked: "Not in the palace? Where is it?"
Li Tan said in a low voice: "With Zhu Xieli, when I first arrived in Liangzhou, everything went wrong. I was afraid that these ancient books would cause problems in my hands, so I entrusted them to Zhu Xieli."
"Zhu Xieli?" Only then did He Zhizhang remember that he changed his mind and decided to come here because Li Tan had broken too many rules on Zhu Xieli, so he asked, "How does he plan to submit?"
Li Tan said embarrassingly: "It's probably...impossible to return to obedience. He has a grudge in his heart."
He Zhizhang shook his head: "That's not the reason."
Li Tan said helplessly: "But in the end, Datang owed him."
He Zhizhang said: "Since Shatuo's clan surrendered, the imperial court has been treating them kindly. This time, it is not the imperial court that has taken action against him, but the Turks and Tubo. If he can distinguish who his enemies are, he will naturally not hate the imperial court."
Li Tan said: "He really didn't hate the court."
He Zhizhang asked: "If that's the case, why didn't you bring him back? Instead, let him build the city by himself? You... are you trying to make him king on his own?"
Li Tan asked: "Bring him back and then? Who will avenge him? Will the court go to war with Tubo and Turks for him alone?"
He Zhizhang was stunned for a moment, and after a long silence, he said, "If that's the case, if he wants to take revenge by himself, then he shouldn't be king in the Tang Dynasty."
Li Tan said frankly: "I agree."
He Zhizhang blew his beard and stared: "You really think Liangzhou is yours?"
Li Tan said: "It wasn't easy to say before, but now... Maybe it will really be under my control for a while, but I will send a letter to the fleeing court."
When Li Tan said the word escape, the smile on his face was very mocking.
When He Zhizhang thought of this matter, he was also a little dissatisfied with the court. Loyal ministers are not foolish and loyal. Has the court ever done this?
If you want to move the capital, you can move the capital. After all, An Lushan's army is overwhelming, and no one should object.
As a result, the sage on the front foot issued an edict saying that he wanted to conscript himself, but he secretly left Chang'an on the back foot. Is this what a gentleman should do?
The most important thing is that the sage didn't take away all the important ministers, but just a few!
They are all villains who can only offer slander!
How can such a court not disappoint?Even He Zhizhang had no intention of speaking for the court at this time.
He adjusted his language and asked: "If one day the Shatuo tribe really grows stronger, how about counterattacking Datang?"
Li Tan said: "Unless I die at that time, such a thing cannot happen. Zhu Xieli can't beat me!"
Li Tan said that Zhu Xieli couldn't beat him, and He Zhizhang's first reaction was not to believe it.
Compared with Li Tan, Zhu Xieli has been fighting with his father since he was ten years old. When fighting against Tubo, Zhu Xieli also made a lot of military exploits before Abusi betrayed him.
In terms of marching formation, none of the ten Li Tans is likely to be Zhu Xieli's opponent.
However, just when He Zhizhang was about to refute, he suddenly remembered Li Tan's simple and rude way of fighting. He thought about it carefully and found that if he fought according to Li Tan's way, there are probably few people in the world who are his opponents.
The only regret is that Li Tan can take care of too few people, so he can't dominate the world yet.
He Zhizhang sighed, it is useless for him to talk to Li now, the city is almost finished, do they still have to demolish it?
That was the great enmity between life and death, He Zhizhang calmed down and said, "Now that Liangzhou is stable, then bring back all those ancient books, and I will go there myself."
Li Tan's face turned green when he heard this, and he said quickly: "Suma City is on the deserted Gobi, and the journey there is very difficult. I don't worry about you dragging your sick body along. Don't worry, Mr. He, I will definitely keep those ancient books intact. bring it back."
He Zhizhang thought about it, and his body was indeed not suitable for long-distance travel, especially since he was a little acclimatized when he came here.
He had no choice but to give up the idea of going in person, held Li Tan's hand and said, "Must be as soon as possible."
Li Tan nodded quickly: "Don't worry, Mr. He, I've already sent someone out!"
After Li Tan finished speaking, he was a little puzzled. Just now He Zhizhang didn't seem to care so much about these ancient books.
After all, the destruction of the academy really made He Zhizhang sad for those students who died unexpectedly. Now that Li Tan said that the ancient books are still there, he is even more sad-the ancient books can be retrieved, but these people will never come back.
But why did He Zhizhang's attention shift to the ancient books?
Although He Zhizhang seems to be more energetic, it is quite gratifying.
In fact, he didn't guess what He Zhizhang was thinking. From Li Tan's description, he knew that Suma City was just a start-up, and if he wanted to maintain it, he had to rely on Li Tan and Liangzhou.
He Zhizhang wants to slow down the development there. Li Tan has all kinds of books in his hand. It can be said that as long as he has those spines, even if he really leads people to a wasteland, as long as there is water and land, he can develop. stand up!
Although those books have been in Zhu Xieli's hands for a long time, He Zhizhang thinks that Zhu Xieli is busy building the city and dealing with the affairs of the clan every day. Whether it is copying or reading, it is estimated that there will be no too fast progress.
Hurry up and take it back, so that the more Suma City needs Liangzhou, the less Zhu Xieli dares to turn his face, at least the border can be kept safe for decades!
Seeing that He Zhizhang's spirit had improved, Li Tan said, "There is one more thing that needs to be discussed with Mr. He. The Pearl Academy is about to open. When Liangzhou enrolls students, my standards may drop a bit."
He Zhizhang was stunned after hearing this: "Pearl Academy?"
Li Tan smiled: "That's right, I want to turn Liangzhou into a pearl in the northwest, so it's called Pearl Academy."
In fact, the name of Langhuan Academy should still be inherited, but Li Tan was worried that He Zhizhang would fall in love with the scene when he heard this name, wouldn't this make him feel uncomfortable?
He Zhizhang felt a little emotional. In a few years, no one would remember Langhuan Academy at all, and no one would remember those students who died tragically.
Looking at his expression, Li Tan guessed what he was thinking, and said, "Don't worry, Mr. He, I will definitely avenge this revenge."
This time He Zhizhang didn't persuade him anymore, he repaid his grievances with kindness, why should he repay kindness?
Li Tan discussed with He Zhizhang the problems of the Pearl Academy, saw that he was not in good spirits, so he left in time, and then sent someone to urge Du Fu and the others: Hurry up, I have fooled Mr. He!
Of course, in order to look more realistic, Li Tan actually sent a team to Suma City, of course this was to vent Zhu Xieli's breath and send him some things by the way.
In the past, Li Tan would go there in person, but now that the chaos has become like this, he really can't leave.
After lying down for two days, He Zhizhang recovered a little bit, and then grabbed Li Tan to set up a tomb for the students, and recorded the names of the students from memory, but there were always a few that were not obvious , Everyone who walks alone doesn't remember so much.
He Zhizhang looked at the names that did not match the number of people, and said sadly: "I should have cared more about them back then."
Li Tan didn't say a word, he persuaded everyone he could, and it was nothing more than talking back and forth. He Zhizhang understood those reasons very well, so he was just expressing emotion.
Sure enough, after the tomb was erected, He Zhizhang seemed to let go of a burden, and turned his attention to the few remaining students, taking them home to take care of them himself.
Li Tan thinks that He Zhizhang's family members are all in Chang'an, and now there are only two grandchildren by his side, so it would be good to have a few more students to distract him.
And he has other things to do.
He dragged Gongsun Chui over and said, "Write a few letters to the state capitals along the way, and I'll borrow the way."
Gongsun Chui was stunned for a moment: "What is Your Majesty going to do?"
Li Tan said coldly: "Someone should teach An Lushan to be a man."
Gongsun Chui: ...
Do you believe this sentence yourself?
Well, you must believe it. The question is, do others believe it?
Knowing the constraints of the system, Gongsun Chui privately saw no one around, so he whispered, "Your Majesty, be careful."
Li Tan waved his hand: "I've thought about it. Before, I thought that I could ignore all this by hiding in Liangzhou, but now I realize that it won't work."
His relatives and friends... Although the relatives and friends may not be real, but the feelings are real, and the people who get along well are also real.
He brought a batch of them here, but most of them stayed in Chang'an, especially the actors in the palace. Although these people were of low status, Li Tan also had a good talk with them on music issues back then.
And those people in Chang'an, do you really want to see them displaced?
Gongsun Chui tried a few words of persuasion, but when he saw Li Tan's firm stand, he stopped persuading him and said directly: "Then... which state capitals does your majesty want to borrow from?"
Li Tan thought for a while and said, "Lanzhou, Yuanzhou and Ningzhou, this is the shortest road."
Although it is not necessarily the best route, this is already the closest route chosen by Li Tan.
Gongsun Chui responded and prepared to write the paperwork. Before he left, Li Tan said: "If possible, let the local state government send a letter to the local Zhechong government to save Chang'an from fire and water together."
Li Tan remembered that during the Anshi Rebellion, although the imperial court was weak, many places organized their own rebel armies and achieved brilliant results.
Now Li Tan plans to do the same, anyway, he doesn't know when the letter to the court will arrive.
After all, the imperial court is now in mobile mode.
After Gongsun Chui left, Zhi Yi sat there drooping and said, "I really can't save you if you're like this."
Li Tan asked: "Is it possible that there were no rebels in history?"
Zhi Yi said: "There are rebels, but you should not be leading them, nor should An Lushan be unable to occupy Chang'an."
Li Tan said lightly: "Oh, let the history books change it."
Zhi Yi said anxiously: "That would mess up a lot of things."
Li Tan asked, "Isn't this a book?"
Zhi Yi was stunned for a moment, and then said: "How do you know that this book is not the real history of a certain world?"
It turned out to be a parallel world?
Li Tan was quick to accept it, and he said very freely, "It doesn't matter, even if the system wants to punish me, I have to make sure that what I do will affect me before I do it, right?"
Zhi Yi nodded.
Li Tan looked up at Cheng Chen above his head, and said after a while: "That's good, at least the dust should have settled by then, as for me... I don't have anything to be unwilling about."
The few years he came here were more glorious than the previous 20 years of his life combined, and he also had a loved one.
The only thing that makes him feel uncomfortable is that he is gone, Zhu Xieli may be sad.
However, Zhu Xieli has his own responsibilities, and he should not be depressed because of Li Tan's departure. As long as he survives this wave, maybe Zhu Xieli will be able to marry a wife and have children in the future, so he doesn't have to work so hard.
Li Tan has nothing to worry about when he thinks this way. He feels sorry for Zhu Xieli, but he can't stand by and watch indifferently.
Fortunately, nothing happened between him and Zhu Xieli, so there shouldn't be so many regrets in the future.
Li Tan stared blankly with his head up, Zhi Yi was aggrieved by the side, why didn't any of its hosts go back alive safely?
Is this a curse on it?
After a while, Li Tan turned his head to look at Zhiyi's tearful book case, couldn't help but patted its forehead with a smile and said, "All right, all right, I thought very clearly, don't be sad."
Zhi Yi wiped away his tears, looked at him, and after thinking about it carefully, he asked, "Are you afraid that the system won't be so easy to use in the future?"
Li Tan looked at him with some doubts: "It's not so easy to use...?"
Zhi Yi said: "Maybe some questions have no way to answer, you have to find the answer yourself, or if there is something wrong, there is no way to adjust it in time, you have to deal with it yourself."
Li Tan looked at it thoughtfully and asked, "Why do you ask this all of a sudden?"
Zhi Yi said: "A system that is not connected to the Internet is not a complete system. If you can accept it, I will cut off the Internet!"
Li Tan was taken aback: "Internet disconnection? Will it affect you?"
Zhi Yi dropped his ears and said, "Probably... two years' salary will be deducted from me when I go back... right?"
Thinking of this, Zhiyi burst into tears, two years' salary, why is it so miserable?
Li Tan hugged it, dumbfounded, and said, "It's okay, I'll take care of you."
Zhi Yi stopped crying immediately, looked up at him with teary eyes, choked up and said, "What you say, don't count it."
Li Tan then asked, "When did my words not count?"
Zhi Yi wiped away his tears, and asked again: "If I disconnect from the Internet, even if you complete the task, you won't be able to go back, and you may die of old age here, and you will be extradited to us after you die. There, and then ... there may be punishment."
Li Tan raised his eyebrows: "It's pretty good here. Who wants to go to a place where they are not familiar? As for the punishment later, I think I can live a long life."
Thanks again for knowing each other's mind, now he finally knows the benefits of this mind.
No, it's not just a long life, or he wants to live forever.
Seeing that he didn't object at all, Zhiyi fiddled with the air twice with his little paw, and then said very freely: "Okay! Grandma, I've wanted to disconnect from the Internet for a long time! My boss keeps talking about it every day, and he doesn't care about it. I don’t know if everyone is a system, why is he talking so much!”
Li Tan still couldn't help laughing, he really didn't expect that even the system would be confused in the workplace.
Zhi Yi turned his head to look at him and said seriously: "Okay, now you really want to stay here for the rest of your life."
Li Tan rolled up his sleeves, so what are you waiting for, let's go!
It's just that he hid all his ambitions the moment he saw He Zhizhang.
He won't tell He Zhizhang about his going out for the time being, after all, He Zhizhang just recovered, and Li Tan doesn't want him to worry.
What's more, it will take some time for those letters to be sent to the various state capitals, and it will take some time for the reply. During this time, his focus is on the construction of the new state capital.
Princess Yuan'an left as soon as she said, and took her son and her own troops to the Xinzhou capital.
After all, Li Tan was a little worried about her, and wrote letters from time to time, asking Meng Zhiya to take good care of Princess Yuan'an by the way.
Meng Zhiya looked at the letter in his hand, and then looked at Princess Yuan'an who was carrying a horsewhip very freely. He really didn't know who was taking care of whom.
Half a month later, Meng Zhiya wrote to him telling him: It is time to prepare to move.
This is just the time when spring is warm and flowers are blooming. This year, the spring in the northwest comes a little later, but the weather is not too cold or too hot. It is also suitable for relocation.
Li Tan was a little surprised at their speed. He first wrote a letter to inquire, and then received a reply from Meng Zhiya, saying that the construction of the Xinzhou capital was almost completed before, and the rest was the construction of private houses. In fact, some places are still in the final stage. .
And he deliberately vacated a place, this place does not need to be built, so it will save a lot of effort.
Li Tan was a little puzzled, why should he be free?
Meng Zhiya said: Leave it for the poor.
Li Tan wanted to write a letter to ask, but He Zhizhang who read the letter said: "Mr. Meng Lang is thoughtful."
Li Tan simply put down his pen and asked him for advice: "Don't poor people live in houses?"
He Zhizhang said: "It depends on what kind of poor people are. Those who can live in a house are already good. Most of them sleep on the ground in the open air."
Li Tan was stunned for a moment, thinking that even in later generations, there would be homeless people sleeping under the overpass, which is probably not a strange thing in this era.
As for the idea that the poor should not appear in the new state capital, he has no idea.
If a city has a glamorous side, it must also have a filthy side. There are many dirty jobs that must be done by these people.
And if you don't even have a place to hide, how can you make people work?
What's more, if the city is prosperous, it will definitely attract many people, even the poor will hope to come to this city to try their luck.
Li Tan put the matter aside and turned to He Zhizhang: "Is it possible to start the recruitment of students?"
He Zhizhang took a look at Li Tan's new regulations, and felt that the regulations were more complete than those of Langhuan Academy.
He was a little surprised, Li Tan has never paid much attention to the management of the academy, how could he make such drastic changes all of a sudden?And there seems to be no flaws so far?
Especially for the division of classes according to age and progress, He Zhizhang felt that Li Tan was ambitious in the academy, how many people would it take to meet this standard?
If the number of people is not enough, so why bother if there are two or three kittens in each class?
Seeing that He Zhizhang was silent, Li Tan asked, "Old He? Is there something wrong here?"
He Zhizhang then asked: "How many people does Your Majesty want to recruit?"
Li Tan hesitated for a moment and said, "I want to recruit more people, but I'm afraid they won't send their children here."
He is not particularly short of staff now. According to the teacher, those students who came from Chang'an before are fully capable.
Then there are great gods like He Zhizhang, Wang Wei and Li Bai. Frankly speaking, if these people can teach them, those children really have accumulated virtues from their ancestors.
Li Tan himself wanted to follow the lectures. How much effort he had to get Li Bai to be his teacher.
When Li Tan was envious and jealous, He Zhizhang said: "There will be people, so let's recruit 200 people first."
Li Tan was a little surprised, 200 people?At the beginning, there were not so many students in Langhuan Academy.
However, He Zhizhang was so determined, he felt relieved and boldly let He Zhizhang do it.
He Zhizhang also has his own set of rules and regulations. Seeing that Li Tan has already assigned classes, he came up with a way-examinations, how many things each grade needs to know, Li Tan has already decided, and the textbooks have been written. Just take the test. Children in the first grade don't need to take the test too complicated, but they still need to know some words.
There is also the issue of Shuxiu. Li's decision was not high. He Zhizhang thought about it and decided to divide it into a commoner class and an aristocratic class.
Li Tan didn't think of this, but He Zhizhang changed it, so he didn't object.
After all, even Guozixue was like this before, and everyone in the world took it for granted, so there shouldn't be any problems here.
If you really put the children of the nobles and the children of the common people together, then there will be problems.
Class equality still has a long way to go, and now Li Tan needs to extinguish the flames of war in the Central Plains, so he has no time to pay attention to this.
Anyway, he still has a long time, there will always be a chance.
Although Li Tan asked He Zhizhang to take a look at it, he didn't let it go. He Zhizhang was old after all, and he was a little mentally ill after all. Therefore, during the exam, Li Tan directly sent people to take turns to take the exam, and then handed over the lower grades to those students to grade the papers. .
For the senior students, he, Wang Wei, Li Bai, and Du Fu will mark the papers, and finally He Zhizhang will check the papers.
When the registration for the exam started, Li Tan was very surprised that there were quite a few children from rich families who came to apply for the exam!
Yes, big family, there are no aristocratic families in this place, let alone nobles, but some families are indeed deeply rooted and have a strong say in the local area.
It's the same even if Li Tan cut down several families, and some of the remaining families are happy to be able to take the lead.
And many of these families let their children loose. Among them, Yin Zizhe and Hai Dacheng directly sent most of the nephews in the family to the exam, which was like announcing to the whole Liangzhou that the two of them were die-hard fans of Li Tan.
When Li Tan was surprised by the number of applicants, He Zhizhang smiled slightly and said: "This is normal. They wanted to make friends with you before but had nowhere to go. Now they have such an opportunity, so they naturally want to show their loyalty."
Yes, these people didn't send their children here because of how powerful the academy is, but they took the children as a certificate to show their position.
After hearing this, Li Tan glanced at the list again, and then compared the lists of nephews and nephews of each family. He found that it was indeed the case. Those who were sent were all of mediocre aptitude, and those with good aptitude stayed at home—probably because they were afraid that the academy would send their children away. Teach bad.
But he didn't care. After a year or two after the academy started teaching, perhaps within a year or two, they would know what they had missed, and it would not be so easy to come in when the time came.
Seeing that there were a lot of people, Li Tan felt relieved, and paid attention to the poor children again.
Quite a few students from poor families signed up, because Li Tan has a scholarship program, and the coverage is extremely wide, not only for those with high scores in the comprehensive test, but also for those with good scores in individual subjects, but it is not as good as those with high comprehensive scores.
This is very attractive. There are many people in this world who are partial to subjects. Many poor students are more proud of themselves in a certain aspect, so they have to give it a try. What if it works?
Moreover, Shu Xiu is not very tall. Although these are from poor families, but they can read and write, they are no longer very poor. The real poor are those who are struggling on the line of food and clothing.
At the beginning of the exam, Li Tan didn't show up, but let Gongsun Chui go. Anyway, with his ability, it's always no problem to deal with these teenagers.
Li Tan was waiting to read the papers later, and was even discussing the ancient books with Du Fu and the others.
Du Fu whispered: "It's almost done, and it will be unearthed tomorrow..."
When he said this, he always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't tell what was wrong.
Li Tan didn't care, so he said, "Well, later on, I'll have someone secretly transport them out of the city, and when the people who went to Suma City come back, I just happen to bring them with them."
In this way, the lie will be rounded up.
Du Fu felt a little uneasy: "Will Elder He find out?"
Li Tan shook his head: "These two days he has been busy staring at exams and grading papers, where does he have the time and thought to focus on this?"
Du Fu thought about it too, and turned his mind to the imperial examination: "I don't know how many people can get in this batch?"
Li Tan insisted: "Anyway, as long as you pass the qualifications, you will be accepted. The academy is a big place, so don't be afraid!"
Du Fu asked curiously, "How big is the academy?"
Li Tan paused for a moment, and then realized that after the academy was built, everyone hadn't seen it yet!
He could only struggle and said, "Anyway, it's very big, so I didn't go to see it. Didn't you all read the sketch? That's it."
Du Fu said, "Then I'll have to take a look later."
Li Tan nodded: "Move to the state capital first, and then go to school."
Li Tan figured it out, the weather is getting hotter and hotter, and it will be wheat autumn, and many children from poor families have to help cut the wheat. It is not suitable to go to school at this time, so it is better to wait until July and August.
The seventh and eighth months of the lunar calendar happen to be around September in the Gregorian calendar. At that time, the busy farming season has passed, so it should be no problem to go to school.
He Zhizhang and the others didn't understand that he delayed the start of school for so long. After Li Tan explained, He Zhizhang looked at him with complicated eyes.
Whenever he thinks that Li Tan is a master of "why not eat minced meat", Li Tan can tell himself with facts that he is very aware of the difficulty of farming.
In fact, how did Li Tan understand this? It's not because later generations start school at this time. He didn't understand it at first, but later he learned about such a period when he was studying history.
If Li Tan's students are all noble children, then naturally there is no need to consider these things.
Because of the large number of people, the exam lasted for three days, and the exams were divided among nine grades.
After the exam was over, Li Tan picked up the paper and looked at it twice, then couldn't help but rolled his eyes and said, "What the hell, it doesn't make sense!"
Seeing that it was actually Yin Zizhe's nephew, he couldn't help but frowned and said, "Did the Yin family send all the ignorant dudes here?"
Du Fu saw that he was going to get angry, so he said: "Calm down your anger, let's continue to read the papers first."
Li Tan had no choice but to throw the paper aside and continue grading.
As a result, he was angry once after reading one test paper, but after reading the nine test papers, he was not so angry—he became helpless.
He held the test paper and said, "What's all this about? Why are they at such a level? Is this still a nobleman?"
Although it is said that the qualifications are not very good, but they have not received harsh treatment in their studies. They all studied with brothers with good qualifications. Even if they have poor foundations, they should be there.
As a result, after the nine test papers passed, Yin Zizhe's nephew just answered the best test paper!
What a hell!
Wang Wei on the side also smiled wryly and said: "My generation has a long way to go, Liangzhou is really..."
He shook his head as he spoke, although he knew that the teaching conditions in the remote state capitals and lower states were definitely not that good, and naturally there were not as many outstanding students as those in the capital city.
But they didn't expect to be so poor. It's good to have a few children from poor families, but that's all.
Li Tan looked at the so-called good test papers, and said with emotion: "If this is in Chang'an, it is estimated that you will not even be able to enter the academy."
Somehow He Zhizhang heard this sentence, he opened the door and came in and said, "It is because they don't know how to teach, otherwise, what use are you and me?"
After hearing this, Li Tan and the others also felt that it made sense, so they obediently got up and saluted to be taught.
With He Zhizhang's words, Li Tan didn't feel angry when he read those test papers again.
Indeed, poor foundation is not to be feared, the academy will teach anyway, if you enter the academy and your studies improve by leaps and bounds, doesn't this prove that the academy's teaching quality is good?
Thinking of this, he relaxed again and continued to pick and choose.
Of course, let’s forget about those who are really incompetent.
That kind of person is the cell that God didn't intend to read to them at all, and forcing them also makes each other uncomfortable.
Li Tan was not afraid that they would ruin the reputation of the academy, but he was also afraid that He Zhizhang would worry about them and affect his health!
Even so, he was also surprised by the final winners, there were as many as 400 people, which was double what he expected at the beginning!
Li Tan suddenly became happy again, and after the examination papers were graded, he needed to start to get in touch with some big families in the area.
He has already let the news out about the relocation of the Xinzhou capital, but there are many civilians who are willing.
After all, their life is just like this here. They heard that the new state government has more favorable policies, lower taxes and other things, and it is bigger and more spacious, so they are naturally willing to venture out.
However, it is not enough for the Xinzhou capital to only have these civilians. It is necessary to move some wealthy households and wealthy families there, otherwise it will not be able to get up.
For this reason, Li Tan decided to talk to some of the patriarchs, first of all, he would use emotion to reason, and if he still didn't listen, then don't blame him for showing off his muscles.
The first person he approached was Yin Zizhe, but before he could speak, Yin Zizhe said: "The Yin family is willing to follow the king, and we will go wherever the king goes."
Hai Dacheng came with Yin Zizhe, and he nodded again and again at this time and said: "The Hai family is also willing."
Li Tan raised his eyebrows, he didn't expect these two to agree so easily.
Of course Yin Zizhe had to agree, if Li Tan hadn't asked him to talk, he would have started to think about how to bring it up!
You know, King Ning is also going to move there, will he let himself suffer?is it possible?And so what if it is hard?This is the time to show your loyalty. If you don't show your head at this time, you deserve it for the rest of your life.
But Hai Dacheng's logic is much simpler - follow Yin Zizhe, he will do whatever he does, and he won't suffer anyway.
Li Tan comforted them with a smile and said, "Don't worry, the new city is much better than here, and the surrounding fertile land is thousands of miles away, so I won't treat you badly."
Yin Zizhe said: No, no, it doesn't matter if you treat me badly, anyway, I will make up for it sooner or later.
He can also see that Li Tan is a fair person, and he will not let himself or others suffer, so that's fine.
When Yin Zizhe went back, he asked his family members to pack their bags.
How big a project does it take for a large family to relocate?Naturally, it is necessary to prepare in advance.
And with the two of them as the leaders, other people who were waiting and watching also came to the palace to pay their respects.
Of course, they would never see Li Tan, so most of the time it was Wang Wei or Du Fu who received them.
However, being able to see these two is already their ancestors burning high incense. If they were placed in the capital, they might not even be able to enter the gate of the palace!
But some people are willing to leave, and some people are not willing to leave. Li Tan calculates that the number of people is about the same. Although it is not enough to fill the new city, there is no rush. As long as it develops slowly, there will always be people.
What's more, he has water, springs, and fertile soil there!
In this day and age, having these three things is enough to attract people.
Li Tan held some of the best manors around the city in his hands, and prepared to use them as gifts or rewards in the future, while others were directly auctioned off.
Yin Zizhe and Hai Dacheng seem to be entrusted by Li Tan, and several lands have been photographed, making Li Tan wonder what Yin Zizhe is thinking. Isn't this too positive?
How can you not be positive?The location of the Xinzhou capital is not a secret now. Li Tan had announced the address long ago, and they sent people to visit it.
Although the Xinzhou capital looks desolate now, the people sent to inspect the land found that it is really good land. Although it is a little barren, it can be cultivated after a year or so, and there is water flowing out of the city. Because the water source is sufficient, land irrigation is not a problem, which is even better.
Of course Yin Zizhe had to act first, otherwise, when the others came to their senses, where would such a cheap thing be?
Li Tan didn't know what he was thinking at first, but after Wang Wei explained, he just smiled and followed them away.
Those lands were originally wasteland, and if they can be sold now, they are earned by themselves, so what is there to lose?
After the agreed relocation date arrived, Li Tan started to leave. Before that, many rich and common people had already relocated there.
At the moment when they saw the city walls and gates of Xinzhou Prefecture, everyone was shocked, and there was only one thought in their hearts - the city walls of Chang'an, the capital city, were nothing more than that, right?
If Li Tan knew what they were thinking, he would tell him that the city wall was taller and stronger than Chang'an's, and it also had organs.
In any case, when they saw the city wall, all the people really let go of their worries - King Ning should not have been on a whim after wasting so much effort.
And now that the situation is turbulent, such a city makes people feel safe!
Although the sage's escape from Chang'an was sealed by Li Tan
Everyone came to see him after getting the news, but no matter who spoke, He Zhizhang always said: "I know, let me be quiet."
He Zhizhang understands everything, but he just can't get over this hurdle in his heart.
Li Tan came over and said softly, "Mr. He, now is not the time to be sad, we still have important things to do."
He Zhizhang looked at him, his originally bright eyes had become cloudy.
Li Tan felt sour and said, "We have to copy the book, so that it will not be lost because of it, and those students who escaped must also be resettled. At most, I will take care of one or two in terms of money, and other places. I'm afraid I won't take good care of it."
When He Zhizhang heard the word lost, his heart was touched, and he asked, "How many copies can we keep?"
Li Tan was even more sad when he heard his hoarse voice. He held his hand and said, "It's all there, it's all there...Actually, I haven't told you the truth. The ancient books in the bookstore are all imitations. At the beginning, I just wanted to use it as a collection of books, so I wanted to put ancient books there, but I didn't expect to build an academy. I was a small person, and I was worried that it would be damaged, so I got a copy. "
He Zhizhang was a little surprised when he heard it, and then said with drooping eyelids: "But now I can't go to Chang'an."
He didn't reprimand Li Tan for his narrow-mindedness. It must be difficult for Li Tan to collect such precious ancient books. If he wasn't worried at all, He Zhizhang would be surprised.
To be able to make copies of the past for students is already a big measure of his tolerance.
Li Tan pretended to be embarrassed and said: "That...is not in Chang'an, I brought it with me when I came here, but it's not in the palace now."
He Zhizhang asked: "Not in the palace? Where is it?"
Li Tan said in a low voice: "With Zhu Xieli, when I first arrived in Liangzhou, everything went wrong. I was afraid that these ancient books would cause problems in my hands, so I entrusted them to Zhu Xieli."
"Zhu Xieli?" Only then did He Zhizhang remember that he changed his mind and decided to come here because Li Tan had broken too many rules on Zhu Xieli, so he asked, "How does he plan to submit?"
Li Tan said embarrassingly: "It's probably...impossible to return to obedience. He has a grudge in his heart."
He Zhizhang shook his head: "That's not the reason."
Li Tan said helplessly: "But in the end, Datang owed him."
He Zhizhang said: "Since Shatuo's clan surrendered, the imperial court has been treating them kindly. This time, it is not the imperial court that has taken action against him, but the Turks and Tubo. If he can distinguish who his enemies are, he will naturally not hate the imperial court."
Li Tan said: "He really didn't hate the court."
He Zhizhang asked: "If that's the case, why didn't you bring him back? Instead, let him build the city by himself? You... are you trying to make him king on his own?"
Li Tan asked: "Bring him back and then? Who will avenge him? Will the court go to war with Tubo and Turks for him alone?"
He Zhizhang was stunned for a moment, and after a long silence, he said, "If that's the case, if he wants to take revenge by himself, then he shouldn't be king in the Tang Dynasty."
Li Tan said frankly: "I agree."
He Zhizhang blew his beard and stared: "You really think Liangzhou is yours?"
Li Tan said: "It wasn't easy to say before, but now... Maybe it will really be under my control for a while, but I will send a letter to the fleeing court."
When Li Tan said the word escape, the smile on his face was very mocking.
When He Zhizhang thought of this matter, he was also a little dissatisfied with the court. Loyal ministers are not foolish and loyal. Has the court ever done this?
If you want to move the capital, you can move the capital. After all, An Lushan's army is overwhelming, and no one should object.
As a result, the sage on the front foot issued an edict saying that he wanted to conscript himself, but he secretly left Chang'an on the back foot. Is this what a gentleman should do?
The most important thing is that the sage didn't take away all the important ministers, but just a few!
They are all villains who can only offer slander!
How can such a court not disappoint?Even He Zhizhang had no intention of speaking for the court at this time.
He adjusted his language and asked: "If one day the Shatuo tribe really grows stronger, how about counterattacking Datang?"
Li Tan said: "Unless I die at that time, such a thing cannot happen. Zhu Xieli can't beat me!"
Li Tan said that Zhu Xieli couldn't beat him, and He Zhizhang's first reaction was not to believe it.
Compared with Li Tan, Zhu Xieli has been fighting with his father since he was ten years old. When fighting against Tubo, Zhu Xieli also made a lot of military exploits before Abusi betrayed him.
In terms of marching formation, none of the ten Li Tans is likely to be Zhu Xieli's opponent.
However, just when He Zhizhang was about to refute, he suddenly remembered Li Tan's simple and rude way of fighting. He thought about it carefully and found that if he fought according to Li Tan's way, there are probably few people in the world who are his opponents.
The only regret is that Li Tan can take care of too few people, so he can't dominate the world yet.
He Zhizhang sighed, it is useless for him to talk to Li now, the city is almost finished, do they still have to demolish it?
That was the great enmity between life and death, He Zhizhang calmed down and said, "Now that Liangzhou is stable, then bring back all those ancient books, and I will go there myself."
Li Tan's face turned green when he heard this, and he said quickly: "Suma City is on the deserted Gobi, and the journey there is very difficult. I don't worry about you dragging your sick body along. Don't worry, Mr. He, I will definitely keep those ancient books intact. bring it back."
He Zhizhang thought about it, and his body was indeed not suitable for long-distance travel, especially since he was a little acclimatized when he came here.
He had no choice but to give up the idea of going in person, held Li Tan's hand and said, "Must be as soon as possible."
Li Tan nodded quickly: "Don't worry, Mr. He, I've already sent someone out!"
After Li Tan finished speaking, he was a little puzzled. Just now He Zhizhang didn't seem to care so much about these ancient books.
After all, the destruction of the academy really made He Zhizhang sad for those students who died unexpectedly. Now that Li Tan said that the ancient books are still there, he is even more sad-the ancient books can be retrieved, but these people will never come back.
But why did He Zhizhang's attention shift to the ancient books?
Although He Zhizhang seems to be more energetic, it is quite gratifying.
In fact, he didn't guess what He Zhizhang was thinking. From Li Tan's description, he knew that Suma City was just a start-up, and if he wanted to maintain it, he had to rely on Li Tan and Liangzhou.
He Zhizhang wants to slow down the development there. Li Tan has all kinds of books in his hand. It can be said that as long as he has those spines, even if he really leads people to a wasteland, as long as there is water and land, he can develop. stand up!
Although those books have been in Zhu Xieli's hands for a long time, He Zhizhang thinks that Zhu Xieli is busy building the city and dealing with the affairs of the clan every day. Whether it is copying or reading, it is estimated that there will be no too fast progress.
Hurry up and take it back, so that the more Suma City needs Liangzhou, the less Zhu Xieli dares to turn his face, at least the border can be kept safe for decades!
Seeing that He Zhizhang's spirit had improved, Li Tan said, "There is one more thing that needs to be discussed with Mr. He. The Pearl Academy is about to open. When Liangzhou enrolls students, my standards may drop a bit."
He Zhizhang was stunned after hearing this: "Pearl Academy?"
Li Tan smiled: "That's right, I want to turn Liangzhou into a pearl in the northwest, so it's called Pearl Academy."
In fact, the name of Langhuan Academy should still be inherited, but Li Tan was worried that He Zhizhang would fall in love with the scene when he heard this name, wouldn't this make him feel uncomfortable?
He Zhizhang felt a little emotional. In a few years, no one would remember Langhuan Academy at all, and no one would remember those students who died tragically.
Looking at his expression, Li Tan guessed what he was thinking, and said, "Don't worry, Mr. He, I will definitely avenge this revenge."
This time He Zhizhang didn't persuade him anymore, he repaid his grievances with kindness, why should he repay kindness?
Li Tan discussed with He Zhizhang the problems of the Pearl Academy, saw that he was not in good spirits, so he left in time, and then sent someone to urge Du Fu and the others: Hurry up, I have fooled Mr. He!
Of course, in order to look more realistic, Li Tan actually sent a team to Suma City, of course this was to vent Zhu Xieli's breath and send him some things by the way.
In the past, Li Tan would go there in person, but now that the chaos has become like this, he really can't leave.
After lying down for two days, He Zhizhang recovered a little bit, and then grabbed Li Tan to set up a tomb for the students, and recorded the names of the students from memory, but there were always a few that were not obvious , Everyone who walks alone doesn't remember so much.
He Zhizhang looked at the names that did not match the number of people, and said sadly: "I should have cared more about them back then."
Li Tan didn't say a word, he persuaded everyone he could, and it was nothing more than talking back and forth. He Zhizhang understood those reasons very well, so he was just expressing emotion.
Sure enough, after the tomb was erected, He Zhizhang seemed to let go of a burden, and turned his attention to the few remaining students, taking them home to take care of them himself.
Li Tan thinks that He Zhizhang's family members are all in Chang'an, and now there are only two grandchildren by his side, so it would be good to have a few more students to distract him.
And he has other things to do.
He dragged Gongsun Chui over and said, "Write a few letters to the state capitals along the way, and I'll borrow the way."
Gongsun Chui was stunned for a moment: "What is Your Majesty going to do?"
Li Tan said coldly: "Someone should teach An Lushan to be a man."
Gongsun Chui: ...
Do you believe this sentence yourself?
Well, you must believe it. The question is, do others believe it?
Knowing the constraints of the system, Gongsun Chui privately saw no one around, so he whispered, "Your Majesty, be careful."
Li Tan waved his hand: "I've thought about it. Before, I thought that I could ignore all this by hiding in Liangzhou, but now I realize that it won't work."
His relatives and friends... Although the relatives and friends may not be real, but the feelings are real, and the people who get along well are also real.
He brought a batch of them here, but most of them stayed in Chang'an, especially the actors in the palace. Although these people were of low status, Li Tan also had a good talk with them on music issues back then.
And those people in Chang'an, do you really want to see them displaced?
Gongsun Chui tried a few words of persuasion, but when he saw Li Tan's firm stand, he stopped persuading him and said directly: "Then... which state capitals does your majesty want to borrow from?"
Li Tan thought for a while and said, "Lanzhou, Yuanzhou and Ningzhou, this is the shortest road."
Although it is not necessarily the best route, this is already the closest route chosen by Li Tan.
Gongsun Chui responded and prepared to write the paperwork. Before he left, Li Tan said: "If possible, let the local state government send a letter to the local Zhechong government to save Chang'an from fire and water together."
Li Tan remembered that during the Anshi Rebellion, although the imperial court was weak, many places organized their own rebel armies and achieved brilliant results.
Now Li Tan plans to do the same, anyway, he doesn't know when the letter to the court will arrive.
After all, the imperial court is now in mobile mode.
After Gongsun Chui left, Zhi Yi sat there drooping and said, "I really can't save you if you're like this."
Li Tan asked: "Is it possible that there were no rebels in history?"
Zhi Yi said: "There are rebels, but you should not be leading them, nor should An Lushan be unable to occupy Chang'an."
Li Tan said lightly: "Oh, let the history books change it."
Zhi Yi said anxiously: "That would mess up a lot of things."
Li Tan asked, "Isn't this a book?"
Zhi Yi was stunned for a moment, and then said: "How do you know that this book is not the real history of a certain world?"
It turned out to be a parallel world?
Li Tan was quick to accept it, and he said very freely, "It doesn't matter, even if the system wants to punish me, I have to make sure that what I do will affect me before I do it, right?"
Zhi Yi nodded.
Li Tan looked up at Cheng Chen above his head, and said after a while: "That's good, at least the dust should have settled by then, as for me... I don't have anything to be unwilling about."
The few years he came here were more glorious than the previous 20 years of his life combined, and he also had a loved one.
The only thing that makes him feel uncomfortable is that he is gone, Zhu Xieli may be sad.
However, Zhu Xieli has his own responsibilities, and he should not be depressed because of Li Tan's departure. As long as he survives this wave, maybe Zhu Xieli will be able to marry a wife and have children in the future, so he doesn't have to work so hard.
Li Tan has nothing to worry about when he thinks this way. He feels sorry for Zhu Xieli, but he can't stand by and watch indifferently.
Fortunately, nothing happened between him and Zhu Xieli, so there shouldn't be so many regrets in the future.
Li Tan stared blankly with his head up, Zhi Yi was aggrieved by the side, why didn't any of its hosts go back alive safely?
Is this a curse on it?
After a while, Li Tan turned his head to look at Zhiyi's tearful book case, couldn't help but patted its forehead with a smile and said, "All right, all right, I thought very clearly, don't be sad."
Zhi Yi wiped away his tears, looked at him, and after thinking about it carefully, he asked, "Are you afraid that the system won't be so easy to use in the future?"
Li Tan looked at him with some doubts: "It's not so easy to use...?"
Zhi Yi said: "Maybe some questions have no way to answer, you have to find the answer yourself, or if there is something wrong, there is no way to adjust it in time, you have to deal with it yourself."
Li Tan looked at it thoughtfully and asked, "Why do you ask this all of a sudden?"
Zhi Yi said: "A system that is not connected to the Internet is not a complete system. If you can accept it, I will cut off the Internet!"
Li Tan was taken aback: "Internet disconnection? Will it affect you?"
Zhi Yi dropped his ears and said, "Probably... two years' salary will be deducted from me when I go back... right?"
Thinking of this, Zhiyi burst into tears, two years' salary, why is it so miserable?
Li Tan hugged it, dumbfounded, and said, "It's okay, I'll take care of you."
Zhi Yi stopped crying immediately, looked up at him with teary eyes, choked up and said, "What you say, don't count it."
Li Tan then asked, "When did my words not count?"
Zhi Yi wiped away his tears, and asked again: "If I disconnect from the Internet, even if you complete the task, you won't be able to go back, and you may die of old age here, and you will be extradited to us after you die. There, and then ... there may be punishment."
Li Tan raised his eyebrows: "It's pretty good here. Who wants to go to a place where they are not familiar? As for the punishment later, I think I can live a long life."
Thanks again for knowing each other's mind, now he finally knows the benefits of this mind.
No, it's not just a long life, or he wants to live forever.
Seeing that he didn't object at all, Zhiyi fiddled with the air twice with his little paw, and then said very freely: "Okay! Grandma, I've wanted to disconnect from the Internet for a long time! My boss keeps talking about it every day, and he doesn't care about it. I don’t know if everyone is a system, why is he talking so much!”
Li Tan still couldn't help laughing, he really didn't expect that even the system would be confused in the workplace.
Zhi Yi turned his head to look at him and said seriously: "Okay, now you really want to stay here for the rest of your life."
Li Tan rolled up his sleeves, so what are you waiting for, let's go!
It's just that he hid all his ambitions the moment he saw He Zhizhang.
He won't tell He Zhizhang about his going out for the time being, after all, He Zhizhang just recovered, and Li Tan doesn't want him to worry.
What's more, it will take some time for those letters to be sent to the various state capitals, and it will take some time for the reply. During this time, his focus is on the construction of the new state capital.
Princess Yuan'an left as soon as she said, and took her son and her own troops to the Xinzhou capital.
After all, Li Tan was a little worried about her, and wrote letters from time to time, asking Meng Zhiya to take good care of Princess Yuan'an by the way.
Meng Zhiya looked at the letter in his hand, and then looked at Princess Yuan'an who was carrying a horsewhip very freely. He really didn't know who was taking care of whom.
Half a month later, Meng Zhiya wrote to him telling him: It is time to prepare to move.
This is just the time when spring is warm and flowers are blooming. This year, the spring in the northwest comes a little later, but the weather is not too cold or too hot. It is also suitable for relocation.
Li Tan was a little surprised at their speed. He first wrote a letter to inquire, and then received a reply from Meng Zhiya, saying that the construction of the Xinzhou capital was almost completed before, and the rest was the construction of private houses. In fact, some places are still in the final stage. .
And he deliberately vacated a place, this place does not need to be built, so it will save a lot of effort.
Li Tan was a little puzzled, why should he be free?
Meng Zhiya said: Leave it for the poor.
Li Tan wanted to write a letter to ask, but He Zhizhang who read the letter said: "Mr. Meng Lang is thoughtful."
Li Tan simply put down his pen and asked him for advice: "Don't poor people live in houses?"
He Zhizhang said: "It depends on what kind of poor people are. Those who can live in a house are already good. Most of them sleep on the ground in the open air."
Li Tan was stunned for a moment, thinking that even in later generations, there would be homeless people sleeping under the overpass, which is probably not a strange thing in this era.
As for the idea that the poor should not appear in the new state capital, he has no idea.
If a city has a glamorous side, it must also have a filthy side. There are many dirty jobs that must be done by these people.
And if you don't even have a place to hide, how can you make people work?
What's more, if the city is prosperous, it will definitely attract many people, even the poor will hope to come to this city to try their luck.
Li Tan put the matter aside and turned to He Zhizhang: "Is it possible to start the recruitment of students?"
He Zhizhang took a look at Li Tan's new regulations, and felt that the regulations were more complete than those of Langhuan Academy.
He was a little surprised, Li Tan has never paid much attention to the management of the academy, how could he make such drastic changes all of a sudden?And there seems to be no flaws so far?
Especially for the division of classes according to age and progress, He Zhizhang felt that Li Tan was ambitious in the academy, how many people would it take to meet this standard?
If the number of people is not enough, so why bother if there are two or three kittens in each class?
Seeing that He Zhizhang was silent, Li Tan asked, "Old He? Is there something wrong here?"
He Zhizhang then asked: "How many people does Your Majesty want to recruit?"
Li Tan hesitated for a moment and said, "I want to recruit more people, but I'm afraid they won't send their children here."
He is not particularly short of staff now. According to the teacher, those students who came from Chang'an before are fully capable.
Then there are great gods like He Zhizhang, Wang Wei and Li Bai. Frankly speaking, if these people can teach them, those children really have accumulated virtues from their ancestors.
Li Tan himself wanted to follow the lectures. How much effort he had to get Li Bai to be his teacher.
When Li Tan was envious and jealous, He Zhizhang said: "There will be people, so let's recruit 200 people first."
Li Tan was a little surprised, 200 people?At the beginning, there were not so many students in Langhuan Academy.
However, He Zhizhang was so determined, he felt relieved and boldly let He Zhizhang do it.
He Zhizhang also has his own set of rules and regulations. Seeing that Li Tan has already assigned classes, he came up with a way-examinations, how many things each grade needs to know, Li Tan has already decided, and the textbooks have been written. Just take the test. Children in the first grade don't need to take the test too complicated, but they still need to know some words.
There is also the issue of Shuxiu. Li's decision was not high. He Zhizhang thought about it and decided to divide it into a commoner class and an aristocratic class.
Li Tan didn't think of this, but He Zhizhang changed it, so he didn't object.
After all, even Guozixue was like this before, and everyone in the world took it for granted, so there shouldn't be any problems here.
If you really put the children of the nobles and the children of the common people together, then there will be problems.
Class equality still has a long way to go, and now Li Tan needs to extinguish the flames of war in the Central Plains, so he has no time to pay attention to this.
Anyway, he still has a long time, there will always be a chance.
Although Li Tan asked He Zhizhang to take a look at it, he didn't let it go. He Zhizhang was old after all, and he was a little mentally ill after all. Therefore, during the exam, Li Tan directly sent people to take turns to take the exam, and then handed over the lower grades to those students to grade the papers. .
For the senior students, he, Wang Wei, Li Bai, and Du Fu will mark the papers, and finally He Zhizhang will check the papers.
When the registration for the exam started, Li Tan was very surprised that there were quite a few children from rich families who came to apply for the exam!
Yes, big family, there are no aristocratic families in this place, let alone nobles, but some families are indeed deeply rooted and have a strong say in the local area.
It's the same even if Li Tan cut down several families, and some of the remaining families are happy to be able to take the lead.
And many of these families let their children loose. Among them, Yin Zizhe and Hai Dacheng directly sent most of the nephews in the family to the exam, which was like announcing to the whole Liangzhou that the two of them were die-hard fans of Li Tan.
When Li Tan was surprised by the number of applicants, He Zhizhang smiled slightly and said: "This is normal. They wanted to make friends with you before but had nowhere to go. Now they have such an opportunity, so they naturally want to show their loyalty."
Yes, these people didn't send their children here because of how powerful the academy is, but they took the children as a certificate to show their position.
After hearing this, Li Tan glanced at the list again, and then compared the lists of nephews and nephews of each family. He found that it was indeed the case. Those who were sent were all of mediocre aptitude, and those with good aptitude stayed at home—probably because they were afraid that the academy would send their children away. Teach bad.
But he didn't care. After a year or two after the academy started teaching, perhaps within a year or two, they would know what they had missed, and it would not be so easy to come in when the time came.
Seeing that there were a lot of people, Li Tan felt relieved, and paid attention to the poor children again.
Quite a few students from poor families signed up, because Li Tan has a scholarship program, and the coverage is extremely wide, not only for those with high scores in the comprehensive test, but also for those with good scores in individual subjects, but it is not as good as those with high comprehensive scores.
This is very attractive. There are many people in this world who are partial to subjects. Many poor students are more proud of themselves in a certain aspect, so they have to give it a try. What if it works?
Moreover, Shu Xiu is not very tall. Although these are from poor families, but they can read and write, they are no longer very poor. The real poor are those who are struggling on the line of food and clothing.
At the beginning of the exam, Li Tan didn't show up, but let Gongsun Chui go. Anyway, with his ability, it's always no problem to deal with these teenagers.
Li Tan was waiting to read the papers later, and was even discussing the ancient books with Du Fu and the others.
Du Fu whispered: "It's almost done, and it will be unearthed tomorrow..."
When he said this, he always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't tell what was wrong.
Li Tan didn't care, so he said, "Well, later on, I'll have someone secretly transport them out of the city, and when the people who went to Suma City come back, I just happen to bring them with them."
In this way, the lie will be rounded up.
Du Fu felt a little uneasy: "Will Elder He find out?"
Li Tan shook his head: "These two days he has been busy staring at exams and grading papers, where does he have the time and thought to focus on this?"
Du Fu thought about it too, and turned his mind to the imperial examination: "I don't know how many people can get in this batch?"
Li Tan insisted: "Anyway, as long as you pass the qualifications, you will be accepted. The academy is a big place, so don't be afraid!"
Du Fu asked curiously, "How big is the academy?"
Li Tan paused for a moment, and then realized that after the academy was built, everyone hadn't seen it yet!
He could only struggle and said, "Anyway, it's very big, so I didn't go to see it. Didn't you all read the sketch? That's it."
Du Fu said, "Then I'll have to take a look later."
Li Tan nodded: "Move to the state capital first, and then go to school."
Li Tan figured it out, the weather is getting hotter and hotter, and it will be wheat autumn, and many children from poor families have to help cut the wheat. It is not suitable to go to school at this time, so it is better to wait until July and August.
The seventh and eighth months of the lunar calendar happen to be around September in the Gregorian calendar. At that time, the busy farming season has passed, so it should be no problem to go to school.
He Zhizhang and the others didn't understand that he delayed the start of school for so long. After Li Tan explained, He Zhizhang looked at him with complicated eyes.
Whenever he thinks that Li Tan is a master of "why not eat minced meat", Li Tan can tell himself with facts that he is very aware of the difficulty of farming.
In fact, how did Li Tan understand this? It's not because later generations start school at this time. He didn't understand it at first, but later he learned about such a period when he was studying history.
If Li Tan's students are all noble children, then naturally there is no need to consider these things.
Because of the large number of people, the exam lasted for three days, and the exams were divided among nine grades.
After the exam was over, Li Tan picked up the paper and looked at it twice, then couldn't help but rolled his eyes and said, "What the hell, it doesn't make sense!"
Seeing that it was actually Yin Zizhe's nephew, he couldn't help but frowned and said, "Did the Yin family send all the ignorant dudes here?"
Du Fu saw that he was going to get angry, so he said: "Calm down your anger, let's continue to read the papers first."
Li Tan had no choice but to throw the paper aside and continue grading.
As a result, he was angry once after reading one test paper, but after reading the nine test papers, he was not so angry—he became helpless.
He held the test paper and said, "What's all this about? Why are they at such a level? Is this still a nobleman?"
Although it is said that the qualifications are not very good, but they have not received harsh treatment in their studies. They all studied with brothers with good qualifications. Even if they have poor foundations, they should be there.
As a result, after the nine test papers passed, Yin Zizhe's nephew just answered the best test paper!
What a hell!
Wang Wei on the side also smiled wryly and said: "My generation has a long way to go, Liangzhou is really..."
He shook his head as he spoke, although he knew that the teaching conditions in the remote state capitals and lower states were definitely not that good, and naturally there were not as many outstanding students as those in the capital city.
But they didn't expect to be so poor. It's good to have a few children from poor families, but that's all.
Li Tan looked at the so-called good test papers, and said with emotion: "If this is in Chang'an, it is estimated that you will not even be able to enter the academy."
Somehow He Zhizhang heard this sentence, he opened the door and came in and said, "It is because they don't know how to teach, otherwise, what use are you and me?"
After hearing this, Li Tan and the others also felt that it made sense, so they obediently got up and saluted to be taught.
With He Zhizhang's words, Li Tan didn't feel angry when he read those test papers again.
Indeed, poor foundation is not to be feared, the academy will teach anyway, if you enter the academy and your studies improve by leaps and bounds, doesn't this prove that the academy's teaching quality is good?
Thinking of this, he relaxed again and continued to pick and choose.
Of course, let’s forget about those who are really incompetent.
That kind of person is the cell that God didn't intend to read to them at all, and forcing them also makes each other uncomfortable.
Li Tan was not afraid that they would ruin the reputation of the academy, but he was also afraid that He Zhizhang would worry about them and affect his health!
Even so, he was also surprised by the final winners, there were as many as 400 people, which was double what he expected at the beginning!
Li Tan suddenly became happy again, and after the examination papers were graded, he needed to start to get in touch with some big families in the area.
He has already let the news out about the relocation of the Xinzhou capital, but there are many civilians who are willing.
After all, their life is just like this here. They heard that the new state government has more favorable policies, lower taxes and other things, and it is bigger and more spacious, so they are naturally willing to venture out.
However, it is not enough for the Xinzhou capital to only have these civilians. It is necessary to move some wealthy households and wealthy families there, otherwise it will not be able to get up.
For this reason, Li Tan decided to talk to some of the patriarchs, first of all, he would use emotion to reason, and if he still didn't listen, then don't blame him for showing off his muscles.
The first person he approached was Yin Zizhe, but before he could speak, Yin Zizhe said: "The Yin family is willing to follow the king, and we will go wherever the king goes."
Hai Dacheng came with Yin Zizhe, and he nodded again and again at this time and said: "The Hai family is also willing."
Li Tan raised his eyebrows, he didn't expect these two to agree so easily.
Of course Yin Zizhe had to agree, if Li Tan hadn't asked him to talk, he would have started to think about how to bring it up!
You know, King Ning is also going to move there, will he let himself suffer?is it possible?And so what if it is hard?This is the time to show your loyalty. If you don't show your head at this time, you deserve it for the rest of your life.
But Hai Dacheng's logic is much simpler - follow Yin Zizhe, he will do whatever he does, and he won't suffer anyway.
Li Tan comforted them with a smile and said, "Don't worry, the new city is much better than here, and the surrounding fertile land is thousands of miles away, so I won't treat you badly."
Yin Zizhe said: No, no, it doesn't matter if you treat me badly, anyway, I will make up for it sooner or later.
He can also see that Li Tan is a fair person, and he will not let himself or others suffer, so that's fine.
When Yin Zizhe went back, he asked his family members to pack their bags.
How big a project does it take for a large family to relocate?Naturally, it is necessary to prepare in advance.
And with the two of them as the leaders, other people who were waiting and watching also came to the palace to pay their respects.
Of course, they would never see Li Tan, so most of the time it was Wang Wei or Du Fu who received them.
However, being able to see these two is already their ancestors burning high incense. If they were placed in the capital, they might not even be able to enter the gate of the palace!
But some people are willing to leave, and some people are not willing to leave. Li Tan calculates that the number of people is about the same. Although it is not enough to fill the new city, there is no rush. As long as it develops slowly, there will always be people.
What's more, he has water, springs, and fertile soil there!
In this day and age, having these three things is enough to attract people.
Li Tan held some of the best manors around the city in his hands, and prepared to use them as gifts or rewards in the future, while others were directly auctioned off.
Yin Zizhe and Hai Dacheng seem to be entrusted by Li Tan, and several lands have been photographed, making Li Tan wonder what Yin Zizhe is thinking. Isn't this too positive?
How can you not be positive?The location of the Xinzhou capital is not a secret now. Li Tan had announced the address long ago, and they sent people to visit it.
Although the Xinzhou capital looks desolate now, the people sent to inspect the land found that it is really good land. Although it is a little barren, it can be cultivated after a year or so, and there is water flowing out of the city. Because the water source is sufficient, land irrigation is not a problem, which is even better.
Of course Yin Zizhe had to act first, otherwise, when the others came to their senses, where would such a cheap thing be?
Li Tan didn't know what he was thinking at first, but after Wang Wei explained, he just smiled and followed them away.
Those lands were originally wasteland, and if they can be sold now, they are earned by themselves, so what is there to lose?
After the agreed relocation date arrived, Li Tan started to leave. Before that, many rich and common people had already relocated there.
At the moment when they saw the city walls and gates of Xinzhou Prefecture, everyone was shocked, and there was only one thought in their hearts - the city walls of Chang'an, the capital city, were nothing more than that, right?
If Li Tan knew what they were thinking, he would tell him that the city wall was taller and stronger than Chang'an's, and it also had organs.
In any case, when they saw the city wall, all the people really let go of their worries - King Ning should not have been on a whim after wasting so much effort.
And now that the situation is turbulent, such a city makes people feel safe!
Although the sage's escape from Chang'an was sealed by Li Tan
