Rebirth of the little landlady

Chapter 307 I'm Not Alone

Among them, the most obvious difference is the difference between the School of Literature and the School of Martial Arts. The School of Martial Arts not only occupies a large area, but is also very well repaired. The Faculty of Letters is particularly shabby.

It turns out that the current Taixue has actually gone through several dynasties. During the last dynasty change, like other places in the capital, it was also severely damaged. After the emperor took over, it had to be rebuilt and expanded. The size of the land occupied, but in the process of reconstruction, it is quite obvious that the importance of martial arts over culture is quite obvious. Everything is based on the principle of giving priority to military commanders, and it has been built as it is now.

"According to Mr. and some seniors, the Faculty of Arts we see now is quite good. Since he succeeded to the throne, he has allocated some money to repair the Faculty of Liberal Arts almost every year, but the current national strength has not yet reached It is at the level of the first emperor, so the speed is slower, and I think in a few years, the School of Arts will be as good as the School of Martial Arts." Su Chunsheng explained to Yuan Bao in detail.

Thinking back to the first 20 years when the first emperor succeeded to the throne, our dynasty was indeed strong and prosperous for a while because of adhering to the principle of "whatever you want to grab", but it was not the right way after all. Well, I have to pay the bill for what I did at the beginning, and it is really not easy for the Tai Academy to be built like this.

Shi Shaofeng on the side nodded, "As the saying goes, 'Governing a big country is like cooking a small fish'. Now that the sages are in power, some things should be figured out slowly."

Yuan Bao frowned slightly, drawing it slowly?In another 20 to [-] years, it is estimated that all the Su family brothers including An An have graduated. What does Taiyuan College have to do with her?Besides, in her eyes, the martial arts academy was not very well built!
The reason why the martial arts academy is so empty is probably not because there is a real need for so many martial arts training grounds, but because there is no money to build more houses, right?Even the small buildings that have already been built are a bit old. After all, it has been more than 60 years since the last emperor succeeded to the throne. If it is not flipped, at least it should be repaired, but it is not so ugly when compared with the tattered "antiques" left over from the former dynasty of the Faculty of Arts.

Su Chunsheng stopped short, and quickly changed the subject. In Su Chunsheng's introduction, Yuan Bao added a lot of knowledge about the imperial examination. It turned out that the imperial examination in this dynasty was also divided into subjects. There are also Mingjing, Junshi, Mingfa, Mingzi, Mingsuan, etc. Yuan Bao thought, "The world attaches great importance to agriculture and business. If Mingsuan can be regarded as being prepared for business, is there any science specially prepared for farming?" Exam content?"

"This... is really not there." Shi Shaofeng thought for a while and said.

"Actually, there is no need to set up another department!" Shi Shaoheng said, "Agricultural affairs have always been in charge of the Ministry of Household Affairs, but so far, more than [-]% of our government's tax revenue comes from agricultural tax every year. In the evaluation of officials, the agricultural tax and population also play a decisive role, and these have all been included in the practice of the Jinshi Division."

"Oh..." Yuan Bao was a little disappointed. She wondered if it would be easier for Su Chunsheng to take the imperial examination subject of farming.

Shi Yuandao's two grandsons are both good people. When they saw Yuan Bao's expression, they roughly understood what Yuan Bao was thinking, so Shi Shaofeng added with a smile, "If not, why would Chunsheng make Mr. Peng so happy? Even left a good impression in the heart of the emperor? In my opinion, Chunsheng will definitely go to high school next time Qiuwei!"

"That's it—" Yuan Bao's face was full of smiles, and she knew that Chunsheng would never let her money go to waste. This guy, I am afraid that he and Qiusheng came to the capital to take the exams and had planned in advance.

Su Chunsheng also smiled humbly, "With my elder brother's auspicious words, I hope I can live up to my teacher's teaching."

A few people were talking happily, and a person walked towards him. This person was 22 or [-] years old, and he was wearing a high-quality student gown that was probably new. The material was definitely no better than Yuanbao. The poor purchase shows that it is either rich or expensive.

He is not tall, he should be considered to be of medium build, and his appearance is also very ordinary. Not to mention Ni Yuze, he is not even as good as the Su family brothers, and he is roughly the same as the Shi family brothers. His majestic demeanor made people dare not underestimate him. In addition, his demeanor was imbued with a strong bookish air, which diluted the original fierceness of his body, making him appear quite approachable and giving people a very comfortable feeling.

Yuan Bao was still observing, but Su Chunsheng was the first to greet him, and bowed to the ground very respectfully, "I've seen the eldest son!"

"Elder Prince", what is this title?Yuan Bao was puzzled, why didn't he even have a surname or title?Which family's son is it?
Here, after hearing Su Chunsheng's address, Shi Shaofeng's expression changed slightly, and then he pulled Shi Shaoheng beside him. Shi Shaoheng immediately understood, and walked two steps quickly with his brother, following Su Chunsheng Behind him, he also bowed deeply.

The eldest son smiled slightly, "This is in the academy, you don't need to be so polite." These three people are all well-known, and they are not allowed to kneel down when they see an official. Now such a deep bow is quite solemn etiquette.

Only Yuan Bao and Ni Junfei stood there in a daze.

Su Chunsheng introduced the identities of the other four to the eldest son one by one, and explained in detail, but he didn't mention a word about the identities and origins of the eldest son. After listening to Su Chunsheng's introduction, Young Master's eyes lit up, "Young Master Bao? Is it Young Master Bao from Ningnan Prefecture's 'No Bid'?"

Yuan Bao went out today and came to this completely masculine Tai Academy. Of course, it is more convenient to wear men's clothes, but she never thought that Su Chunsheng would use this way to introduce her. In front of the students, Su Chunsheng always said that she was his cousin!

But no matter what, the tacit understanding developed over the years still made Yuan Bao bow his hands again and said, "It's hard to be worthy of a mere name!"

"Where is there?" The smile on the eldest son's face became even brighter, "I have heard of Mr. Bao's name as far away as the capital. The palm of your hand?" The meaning of friendship is very obvious.

How could anyone with a certain status not collect a few antiques?This kind of invitation based on the trend was actually unavoidable when Su Chunsheng broke Yuanbao's other layer of identity, "It's my honor to be appreciated by the eldest son!" Of course, Yuanbao readily agreed.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, everyone continued to move forward. Their original plan was to find Su Qiusheng. After Su Qiusheng finished school, they would go to have lunch together. The Taixue lunch break had an hour, and the time was still very generous.

After Su Chunsheng talked about his original plan, he warmly invited the Eldest Young Master to go with him, and the Eldest Young Master readily accepted. This series of changes made Yuan Bao, who was belatedly aware of it, feel that their encounter this time was too obviously man-made , but, was this deliberately done by Su Chunsheng, or by this eldest son?
Just as Yuan Bao was thinking, Su Chunsheng had already given up the position of accompanying the eldest son to the brothers of the Shi family who had the highest status among them. He walked side by side with Yuan Bao a step behind, and asked abruptly, "Yuan Bao, what are you doing?" I just said that I want to fund the construction of this Imperial Academy, when do I plan to start?" The voice did not lower at all.

Yuan Bao was stunned for a moment, she only said that the Taixue was a little run-down, especially the gap between the Faculty of Arts and the School of Martial Arts was too obvious, it was not pretty at all, when did she say that she would pay money to repair the Taixue? !
However, since Su Chunsheng said it in front of so many people, of course she would not do anything to prevent Su Chunsheng from coming to Taiwan. She quickly calculated her net worth, and the investment period of "Yuerong" has passed , the profit of "no second price" can be extracted completely, and because of the particularity of the "no second price" business model, it is absolutely impossible to expand the scale. As for "Yuerong", because the market is too high-end, Yuanbao and Ni Yuze has already discussed that when building the raw material production area, it will be in place in one step, so there is no problem of reinvestment, and now "Yuerong" has entered a state of complete profitability. There is still some income of two silver coins.

The Su family's daily expenses and Su Chunsheng's money for land reclamation can be fully afforded at the "no second price". The profit ingot from "Yuerong" really hasn't figured out how to use it. Now that Su Chunsheng has mentioned it, how can the ingot be used? It should be reasonable, private property, isn't it just for family flowers?Besides, what sum of money would Su Chunsheng not spend so that Yuan Bao would feel incomparably noble? !

So Yuan Bao nodded immediately, "Is it too much? I can still pay for the monthly repair fee of 15 taels. I can do it at any time, but I don't know anything about building a house, and I don't know where to find the manpower. Besides, this Taixue is not something that anyone can practice if they want to, right?"

As soon as Yuan Bao's words came out, Su Chunsheng was still doing well, the eldest son who was walking in front suddenly turned around, and asked happily, "County Master Huiqiao really wants to pay for the repair of this Taixue?"

Yuan Bao blinked, what's the matter, why did this young man who met her for the first time act like he knew her very well, so he revealed her real identity just like that, she remembered that when Su Chunsheng introduced him just now, but Didn't say she was the "Princess Huiqiao County"!

Yuan Bao nodded foolishly, "Oh!" As long as it was the silver that Su Chunsheng wanted to use, she never refused.

The eldest son continued to ask, "15 taels per month, this year will be more than a million taels!" This is definitely a shockingly huge amount of money.

Of course Yuan Bao knew how much silver it was, but out of the principle of prudence, he asked rhetorically, "If I spend 300 million taels of silver in two years, I guess this Taixue will be repaired?!" No matter how much , she doesn't want to take it out, you know, Ni Yuze has just got the right to go to sea now, and she still has to stock up, and the profit will be seen at least at the beginning of the next year. They all want to invest the profits of "Yuerong" in building treasure ships first.

"Hahaha..." The Eldest Young Master laughed heartily, "Young Master Bao is really rich and powerful. What kind of imperial education can cost 300 taels of silver, and even a million taels of silver will not be enough to spend."

"That's it..." Yuan Bao breathed a sigh of relief, but still said to Su Chunsheng uneasy, "I only care about paying the money, and I can't care about others." Yes, it’s not 100 million taels all at once, but 15 taels a month!” In business, there is a cash flow problem, and this eldest son is not an ordinary person at first glance, so Yuan Bao naturally has to be cautious.

Su Chunsheng spread his hands and said, "I don't understand this kind of thing, and I really can't help you!" He looked like he didn't want to care about anything.

"Yeah?" Yuan Bao was taken aback again, "Is it so lively for nothing?!"

"How could it be?!" The Eldest Young Master said immediately, "This matter is on my shoulders. The county head only needs to prepare 15 taels of banknotes every month, until he can use up to 100 million taels!"

Su Chunsheng hurriedly saluted the Eldest Young Master deeply, "I have some housework to do, Eldest Young Master!"

"Hey——" The eldest son waved his hands quickly, "This is a great thing!" He straightened his clothes, and saluted Yuanbao, "On behalf of all the students in the world, I thank you, Mr. Bao, for your generosity!"

Yuan Bao hurriedly jumped away, what are you kidding, she still doesn't know the identity of the other party, how dare she just accept the gift like this? !

A few people were giving way when they suddenly saw a person rushing towards them. This person was seventeen or eighteen years old, and he was very agile. He was also wearing a set of dark tights from the martial arts academy. A man of martial arts.

This man broke into the group of people, looked at Yuan Bao and his five members one by one, pointed at Yuan Bao and opened his mouth, and began to teach, "You are that Huiqiao County Lord?! It looks like you are from the countryside. You wild girl, you don't know any manners! Not only are you being rude to me, but you're also running around in men's clothing when you see this prince, and you'll throw everyone away!" That bossy look was so arrogant that it was beyond words.

Yuan Bao was stunned, but Su Chunsheng had already stepped forward to salute, "Student Su Chunsheng sees His Royal Highness the Third Prince."

Immediately afterwards, the Shi family brothers also stepped forward to salute the third prince, while Ni Junfei, who had no fame, knelt down directly on the ground. Yuan Bao hesitated for a while, but finally made a salute instead of a woman's blessing.

Yuan Bao now remembered that the current empress has two sons, one is the second prince and the other is the third prince, so it is not surprising that the third prince treats her this way. What she is worried about now is that if the two princes If they are all in Taixue, then the life of the Su family brothers may not be so easy in the future, alas, why didn't she think of it at the beginning? !I really regret it now.

Su Chunsheng was still apologizing for Yuan Bao, "Sister She grew up in the countryside since she was a child, so she naturally has bad manners, and she doesn't know the true face of the third prince. I hope the third prince will forgive her for the mistake of 'one who doesn't know is not guilty'." In this way The rhetoric is not so much an apology as an explanation, but this is not all Su Chunsheng meant.

When Su Chunsheng said these words, he didn't get up, because the third prince didn't call him, he couldn't get up, but his footsteps moved back a step indistinctly, as if he flinched out of fear, but it was this step. The distance made it very obvious that he and the other people who saluted the third prince surrounded the tall and upright eldest prince in the center.

At the same time, Yuan Bao found that the smile on the eldest son's face disappeared, and even the refined and bookish air was not so obvious. The aura around him changed greatly. Looking at the third prince, he didn't say a word until the third prince, who had nowhere to hide, reluctantly bowed to him, "Brother, I came in a hurry, I'm sorry!"

That's it!

Yuan Bao knew the identity of this "eldest son" belatedly. It turned out that the eldest son was the only son of the former empress, and also the eldest son of the current emperor, the eldest prince!No wonder Su Chunsheng and the Shi family brothers greeted him the same way as they did to the third prince, no wonder Yuan Bao felt a little familiar when he first saw him, but looking at him now, both the first prince and the third prince have had a relationship with Zeng and Yuan Bao Zhiyuan's emperor is a bit similar!
It wasn't until the third prince had saluted that the eldest prince said calmly, "Okay, third brother, father has taught us many times to be humble and cautious in the academy, and we must never act recklessly based on our status. Under the watchful eyes of everyone, we It's better to be cautious in words and deeds!"

The third prince's expression changed, and only then did he realize that it was already the time when school ended in the first half of the day, and a large number of students had all come out of their respective study halls. Running here with Yuan Bao, at this moment, Ni Junfei was still kneeling on the ground, Su Chunsheng and the Shi brothers were still bowing deeply, Yuan Bao was a little better, but he was looking at him without blinking.

They are so conspicuous, many students noticed the strange situation here as soon as they left the classroom door, some of them walked around silently, while others walked over, but it was inconvenient to disturb them, so they had to be in front of Su Chunsheng Under his "leading", he also saluted in the direction of the third prince.

In such a short period of time, there are twenty or thirty people gathered around the third prince, and the number is still increasing. I am afraid that this "spectacular" scene will reach the ears of the father in the evening. A reprimand was indispensable at that time, and now the queen mother is still in confinement, and there is no one to protect him!
And the eldest brother deliberately didn't say anything to stop him when he started to lose his temper and deal with Yuan Bao's group. He insisted on letting the situation expand so slowly. , and a few words of "reminder" in such a high-sounding manner, not only confirmed his mistake, but also took away all his responsibilities!

After figuring this out, the simple-minded third prince took another breath-long time, and then the irritable man used another breath-long effort to forcefully suppress the anger in his heart, and only then did he think of a remedy, his face very pale. He said awkwardly, "Everyone, please stand up!" At this time, there were nearly 50 students present who saluted the third prince, including Su Qiusheng who was the first to come.
