Chapter 1064 The Riches of Nanyang
Liu Xie stayed with Lv Bu for dinner, and then chatted for nearly an hour. After learning about all aspects of the situation, he let Lv Bu go to rest.

Before parting, Liu Xie asked another question.

Has your wife given birth again?
Lv Bu, who was talking and laughing just now, suddenly became dumb, and held back for a long time before saying: "I have been fighting outside, and I don't have time."

Liu Xie understood it at a glance.

It's not that Lu Bu doesn't have time, it's that he doesn't have time to accompany Mrs. Wei.He roamed the grassland every day, spreading seeds everywhere, so he was happy.When I returned to Senai, I had already run out of ammunition and food, and there was no way to give birth to a baby.

"Who are you going to pass on to Marquis Wen?" Liu Xie asked, "To a bastard that you don't even remember?"

Lu Bu rubbed his hands awkwardly. "Your Majesty is supreme, how can you say frivolous words. I know, I know."

"Madam Ni is here too?"

"Here we come, such a big event, how can we be absent."

"Then you can stay for a while, and leave after giving birth." Liu Xie glanced at Lu Bu. "By the way, let the imperial physician check your pulse to see if you are okay."

"Minister..." Lu Bu stared at him, and then realized that the young man in front of him was the Son of Heaven, so he couldn't be presumptuous, so he quickly shut his mouth and begged for mercy. "Your Majesty, the minister stays on the line, what about the wolf rider?"

"Temporarily let Wei Xu take the lead."

Lu Bu was stunned for a moment, and his stiff neck drooped completely.

Wei Xu is Mrs. Wei's elder brother. The emperor is determined not to let him go until he has a baby.

In desperation, Lu Bu had no choice but to agree.

In addition to the majesty of the emperor, he also really wanted a son.He paid such a high price for the title of Marquis Wen, and it cannot be cut off because he has no heirs.It's just that he was too comfortable on the grassland, even if he thought of this, he couldn't restrain himself, so he kept delaying.

After bidding farewell to the emperor, Lu Bu returned to his residence.

Lu Xiaohuan was talking with Mrs. Wei.The mother and daughter have not seen each other for two or three years, and there are endless whispers.Seeing that Lu Bu had returned, but with a dejected expression, they were all a little surprised. They glanced at each other and got up in unison.

"Aon, what's wrong?"

"It's nothing." Lu Bu avoided their eyes and waved his hand sullenly. "Grace from the Son of Heaven, let me stay with you for a while longer."

Lu Xiaohuan was puzzled. "It's a good thing, why do you..."

Madam Wei snorted. "It's a good thing for you, but not necessarily for him."

Lu Xiaohuan immediately understood, but pretended not to know.

Just chatting with her mother, she realized this, but she didn't know how to persuade her.Lu Bu listened to advice and refused to change it, and there was nothing she could do about it.Now that the emperor wants to keep Lu Bu, it's in her favor.

"In that case, then I will find a house with a good view for you, and stay longer. Ah Weng, do you still remember the scene when you left Wuguan, went to Nanyang, and met Yuan Shu?"

Lu Bu frowned slightly, thinking of the hardships of the year, he felt a little more guilty towards his wife.

"of course I remember."

"At that time, it was impossible to stay in Nanyang, but now you can live as long as you want, which is a blessing in disguise. Ever since the emperor visited Nanyang, Nanyang has changed every day. If you go out tomorrow, you will know how good it is. Speaking carefully, you are also responsible here. If the trade routes to the Western Regions were not unimpeded, how could the cloth woven by so many weaving workshops in Nanyang be sold?"

Lu Bu looked at Lu Xiaohuan, and saw Lu Xiaohuan blinking at him, understanding.

-

In the winter of the seventh year of Jian'an, Nanyang was extremely lively.

One is that the emperor visited Nanyang, and the top planners of the counties and states gathered in Nanyang, bringing news from all directions.

The second is that Nanyang officially implemented Dutian, and millions of people got the long-awaited land, saw hope in life, and their enthusiasm was high.The establishment of a large number of weaving workshops and printing workshops has provided them with more opportunities to make a living, and they have ample money visible to the naked eye.

Before the New Year, both Zhifang and Yinfang paid salaries in advance, and according to their own conditions, they distributed some things that could be used during the New Year, such as beef, mutton, oil, rice and the like.The conditions were good, and some high-quality clothing materials were even distributed, which became a strange talk for a while.

With money in the hands of the people, consumption immediately increased, and Wan City ushered in unprecedented prosperity.

More foreign merchants flocked here.

Huang She, the prefect of Nanyang, was very busy and happy.

The city tax alone has increased several times compared to last year, and the things I want to do next year are more likely to be successful.

Without money, everything is empty talk.

Building a school, hiring teachers, buying books and stationery, which one doesn't cost money?
But the prosperity in front of him made him understand that as long as the people support and unite as one, there is no problem that cannot be solved.

Schools can be built by the local people, and books and stationery can be purchased by the students themselves. Only the problem of insufficient teachers cannot be solved by the people themselves.

The students of Nanyang County School are very enthusiastic and willing to serve as teachers, even if there is no salary for the time being, they just need to take care of the meals.

Even so, the number is far from enough.

After thinking about it, Huang She decided to ask the emperor for help.

Daxing's education was originally the emperor's decision, and he must have thought about these issues long ago.

Huang She paid a visit to Liu Xie and explained his reason for coming.

Liu Xie was also taken aback.

He did not expect to need so many schools, so many teachers.

This means massive fiscal expenditures.

Even if, as Huang She said, the school is built locally without the county providing funds, and the books and stationery are provided by the students themselves, the teacher's salary is not a small amount.

A school with two or three hundred students must have at least three teachers.According to the previous standard of [-] shi to [-] shi, one is more than [-] million.Even if the standard is lowered to [-] shi, it will cost [-] to [-] million.

A scholar earns [-] yuan a year, barely subsisting, and it can't be lower.

It is more than this price to enter the workshop to work.

Huang She also felt that it should not be too low.It's too low, and the lives of scholars are too hard, and they can't last long with only a passion.

Since the standard was four hundred to six hundred stones before, it is better to follow this standard now.For many scholars, it is very tempting to get a salary equivalent to a county magistrate without having to work.

After all, there are not many people who can continue to climb up. Many people are officials for a lifetime, that is, county magistrates and county magistrates.

The cost is indeed not low, but Nanyang County can still afford it.

He can go to a fundraiser.

[-] million may seem like a lot, but to the big family in Nanyang, it's really not a lot of money.

At that time, the emperor built Wanjintang to sell officials, and [-] million was a Sangong.There are still many people who are willing to exchange [-] million yuan for a few months, so that in the future they can engrave words like "Gu Taiwei" and "Gu Situ" on their tombstones.

Huang She spoke happily, but Liu Xie was a little embarrassed.

You really can't do without reading, but in front of me, you said that the first emperor sold his official titles, you are really decent.

But what this guy said made sense, Nanyang was not short of money, and there were too many big families with net worth of hundreds of millions.Wasn't the reason why the first emperor's finances were tight at the beginning because these lords, big and small, occupied a lot of land, but they didn't pay tribute to the court.

It's time to let them bleed a little.

"As long as you can raise money, you don't have to worry about having no teachers." Liu Xie said, "Situ Mansion will publish an announcement on the residence newspaper, and there will be a large number of scholars applying for the job."
