Datang: Time travel in two months, wait online, hurry up!

A city's tax revenue is 8 yuan a year?What is this concept?

"Your Highness, are you serious?"

Wei Zheng's voice trembled a little.

"Of course, if Mr. Wei doesn't believe it, can we make a bet with this king?"

"Within five years, if the annual tax revenue of this new city exceeds 8 guan, Lord Wei will support this king."

"If the annual tax revenue does not exceed 8 guan, the king will donate 8 guan to the Ministry of Household Affairs."

Li Ke directly took this opportunity to propose a bet to Wei Zheng.

Now among the three provinces and six ministries, only Wei Zheng, the servant of the province, is not his.

As long as Wei Zheng is defeated, his will and influence will be able to fully cover the three provinces and six departments!

It can be said that Wei Zheng is a very important point to close the loop of his plan.

As for this bet, it just looks scary. If you lose, you will donate 8 yuan to the Ministry of Households.

This is actually all false, because within five years, the annual tax revenue of this newly built big Shanghai will definitely exceed 8 yuan, there is no doubt about this!

After all, with Galen ships equipped with artillery and elite soldiers equipped with muskets, if he still can't do this, then he can just jump into the sea and fight for the throne!

As long as Wei Zheng agrees, then it is a certainty that he will take Wei Zheng down.

"It doesn't cost 8 guan a year, as long as the annual tax revenue of this new city can reach 4 guan, I will stand by His Royal Highness King Wu!"

Without even thinking about it, Wei Zheng directly expressed his opinion to Li Ke in a firm tone.

He doesn't even need the new city's tax revenue to reach 8 guan, as long as it reaches half of it, he agrees to 4 guan.

Because as long as Li Ke can raise the tax revenue of this new city to 4 guan within five years, it represents Li Ke's vision and ability are super strong.

Coupled with Li Ke's actions in Yangzhou and Suzhou, various charitable deeds to the people, etc.

It made Wei Zheng feel that it is definitely a blessing for all the people of the Tang Dynasty to have a prince like Li Ke in the future Tang Dynasty.

It can also lead Datang to be more prosperous!

"Then ask Wei Guogong to testify, it's a deal!"

Li Ke smiled immediately, and looked at Li Jing.

"It's an honor, I hope His Highness wins."

Li Jing couldn't help laughing, he also hoped that this new city could reach the level Li Ke said.

"I don't know how you are preparing for the war against Goguryeo?"

Immediately, Li Ke looked at Li Jing and asked a question.

"It's Master Hou who is making the preparations. Everything is going well. It is estimated that we will start doing it in two months."

Li Jing subconsciously looked left and right, and then briefly said something to Li Ke.

"Then the king can also prepare in advance."

Hearing this, Li Ke nodded, knowing it well.

Next, after the three of them chatted for a while, they went back to rest.

The next day, Li Jing, Wei Zheng and others came to say goodbye, and then returned to Chang'an by boat from Yangzhou Wharf along the Grand Canal.

A few days after Li Jing and his party went back, Li Ke received news from Yangzhou Shipyard, Dengzhou and Quanzhou at the same time.

"Your Highness, the second giant ship of Yangzhou Shipyard has launched!"

"Your Highness, news has come from His Royal Highness King Shu and King Qi that both Dengzhou and Quanzhou shipyards have launched a huge ship, and they have already set off for Yangzhou."

Hearing these two pieces of news, a happy smile appeared on Li Ke's face.

"Okay, double happiness!"

Li Ke couldn't help but nodded with a smile. It's the right time for these three giant ships to be launched!

Li Jing said that it is estimated that there are only two months, and the expedition is about to start.

Before the navy, there was only one Galen ship, and the rest were large ships without artillery.

Although one is enough, the shock and lethality caused by the surface battlefield are definitely not as good as multiple Galen ships.

Before, he was worried that the other three ships would not be able to catch up, but he did not expect that these three ships were launched almost at the same time, which is really good news.

"The newly launched ship will be put into training immediately, let the artillery workshop prepare the artillery, and when the two Galen ships of Dengzhou and Quanzhou arrive at the dock, install the artillery on board as quickly as possible!"

Li Ke immediately gave instructions to the people below.

On the Galen ship built by Yangzhou Shipyard, the artillery was already installed in place.

However, Dengzhou and Quanzhou did not have the ability to manufacture artillery, so they had to sail ships to Yangzhou to install artillery.

This is also Li Ke's intention. By controlling the artillery and muskets, and then controlling the shells and bullets, this force can be controlled.

For example, how many shells and bullets are usually needed for training, then send them from Yangzhou, and then write an application and send them over when they are used up.

Not only do we have to do this now, but we also have to do this when we control a large number of overseas territories in the future.

Otherwise, a separatist force will be formed, which is not conducive to his control after becoming the emperor.

If both weapons and ammunition need to be provided by the headquarters, this will undoubtedly greatly strengthen the control over various places!

Otherwise with so many weapons and ammo, the weapons will wear out and the ammo will be consumed.

If you don't listen to the court, the court will send troops to suppress it directly.

A hot weapon without ammunition is not as good as a fire stick!

PS: The fifth update!corpse.

Chapter 278 Training with four huge ships!Li Chengqian and Changsun Wuji were very disappointed!

"Yes, Your Highness!"

Immediately, someone nodded respectfully, and then went down to deliver the order.

Next, I waited for the two Galen ships from Dengzhou and Quanzhou to come, equipped with artillery and participated in the training camp.

Now there are four Galen ships participating in the battle, and the lethality and attack power caused by the battle and the naval battle are much greater!

The scene of four giant ships crossing the hull together, and then firing at each other in unison, just thinking about it makes people's blood boil.

However, he can't wait for this period of time, he has another very important thing to do.

That is to prepare for an exam, an exam for teachers!

Yes, he has been training a group of teachers for a while, and the results have been very good recently, so he is going to give them a test.

The teachers we train are not those who teach the Four Books and Five Classics, but those who teach mathematics, physics, and chemistry.

From elementary school to junior high school to high school, he had all the books printed.

And he also looked for talented people and trained them. Currently, his learning progress is also very fast, and he has already reached the scope of high school.

For example, in mathematics, go to those who are talented in mathematics.

In the Tang Dynasty, there was a course of mathematics, and there was even an imperial examination specially prepared for mathematics, called Ming Suanke.

So although the current level of mathematics cannot catch up with modern times, at least there are many talents who study mathematics.

Li Ke picked some, and then taught them the knowledge of modern mathematics, and they learned very quickly.

The content of elementary school is very simple for them, and the content of junior high school is a little bit difficult, but they will get used to it after learning. It is not until the content of high school that they encounter difficulties.

But sometimes they would think about it by themselves, and put aside what they couldn't figure out, and when Li Ke had time to come over, they would focus on asking.

In this case, everyone's progress is very fast, and their understanding of mathematics knowledge is getting deeper and deeper.

Physics and chemistry are similar to mathematics.

They are all looking for talents in related fields. For example, in physics, they found some officials from the Ministry of Industry who knew technology.

These people not only understand technology, but also can read and break characters, and they can learn physics knowledge very quickly.

As for chemistry, it goes without saying that those Taoist priests are born chemists.

Learning chemistry is like a fish in water, with natural adaptability.

Although everyone's learning progress is only in the high school category, it is still enough for now.

After all, physics and chemistry require a certain foundation of mathematics, so it is not suitable for students who are too young to learn.

They are not needed for the time being, and they can continue to research and learn.

At present, mathematics is the most important thing. All students in government schools must study mathematics.

Start learning the content of elementary school, and those who learn quickly go to another class to teach more advanced mathematics knowledge.

After you have a certain foundation in mathematics, you can start learning physics and chemistry.

This is his plan, but if it is to be carried out, of course it still depends on the level of these people.

If the level of these people is not good, can they teach good students?

The way to judge their level is naturally to pass the written test and interview.

He came up with some exam questions himself, and the content of the questions covered all the knowledge in elementary, middle, and high schools.

According to his standards, as long as he can pass, it is more than enough to teach his children.

If you fail, then continue to study, so as not to mislead your children.

After coming up with good questions, let the people in the newspaper group typeset and print some out.

"I called you here today to prepare a test for you. You can think of it as a teacher qualification test."

Li Ke said something briefly to the talents he cultivated for nearly a year.

In other words, this is the Datang version of the teacher qualification exam.

Hearing this, these talents became a little nervous.

After all, this is an exam question personally posed by Li Ke. Once the result of the exam fails to satisfy Li Ke, it will definitely disappoint Li Ke.

"The exam is divided into a written test and an interview. The written test is for everyone to make a test paper, and then I will give you marks."

"The so-called interview means that you give lectures in front of everyone, and this king will give you a grade for your lecture performance."

"Only those who pass both the written test and the interview can be qualified as teachers!"

Li Ke briefly explained the rules of the exam to everyone.

"Yes, Your Highness!"

After hearing his easy-to-understand words, everyone immediately understood the rules of the exam.

"The exam time is one hour, and the king personally invigilates the exam, no cheating is allowed!"

Li Ke had already prepared tables and chairs, as well as pens, ink, and manuscript paper.

Li Ke sat on the first seat and could see everyone clearly.

He asked people to hand out their respective test papers, and then asked people to start timing.

The means of timing is to use the pendulum clock. After all, only the technology of the pendulum clock is a little simpler, and the technology of other clocks is too difficult.

After the exam started, everyone also concentrated on the questions and started to do the questions.

It was the first time to invigilate others, and Li Ke's experience was a bit novel.

After all, in modern exams, it used to be someone else invigilating oneself, but now the roles are reversed, which is really unique.

However, this is a little different from modern invigilation. In modern times, even if you are caught cheating, you will only be disqualified from the exam.

The price of cheating is not very heavy, so many people choose to take the risk.

But he is the prince, the governor of Yangzhou!

One sentence can decide the life and death of these people!

These people would definitely not cheat when he personally proctored the exam, so there was basically no suspense and less fun.

"If you have time during the imperial examination, maybe you can go to Chang'an to invigilate the exam and experience it?"

Li Ke suddenly had an idea in his mind, it must be more interesting to be the invigilator of the college entrance examination.
