The ancient farming life of liberal arts scum

The group wedding held in Qingling Weizhong almost attracted the attention of the entire Dayan to this barren and barren place. Most people never thought that the marriage could be so successful.

What shocked outsiders even more was that the magistrate of Changzhou County, Mr. Shen, who was famous in Kyoto, suddenly resigned after the year and opened a kind of academy that was never heard of before.

For a time, letters flew from all over the world, and almost all influential scholars were discussing the news.

"Ridiculous! Scholars, farmers, businessmen, look at the newly opened college, military, merchants, agriculture and industry, and you don't know where the heresy comes from!"

"I see that Shen Ge was also obtained through serious scientific research. I don't know why he has such a weird idea? Maybe it was brought by those foreigners? Didn't some foreigners come to see them before, and they said something about their country, what? Science and technology?" The speaker became more and more annoyed, "It's simply obsessed! No one said a word about such an inappropriate thing?"

"His husband is Xun Guogong Xun Feiguang, who dares to speak of him."

"If you want me to say, whose idea this is, I can't say for sure. I heard that Duke Xun has tens of thousands of soldiers in the south—" said the slow and hoarse voice, and suddenly stopped here. This matter is sensitive, and it is no longer theirs. These people can discuss.

"Chu Kuang, Ruan Kuang have learned from the past. Now it's just another name of Shen Kuang, why should you care?" A voice said slowly: "It's up to His Majesty to decide, we just need to guard this big place for His Majesty." Yan Jiangshan. I think the six sons of your family are good, Mr. Xiao, but you want to come out to get an errand?"

These words implied a strong meaning, and the final voice was collected in the interplay of toasting.

In the palace, the emperor summoned his two adult sons in the bedroom, and cut straight to the point, "What do you two think about Shen Ge's tossing around like this?"

Shen Ge's incident was shocking to the world. Both the first prince and the second prince had discussed it with their staff before entering the palace. When they heard the father's question, the two looked at each other. The first prince spoke first, "I think this matter is not difficult to understand. Ge is just a scholar, it's normal to have some frivolity, it's not a big deal, we might as well just watch the fire from the other side."

The second prince added from the side, "Father, I heard that they charge 20 taels a year for Shuxiu alone. I don't think there will be many people going there. The poor can't afford to go, and the rich don't bother to go. We don't have to go too early." Worrying, maybe in a few days, Shen Ge himself will have to close that academy."

Of course, the second prince didn't know whether 20 taels a year was too much or too little, but the staff said so, so he brought this set of rhetoric over.

The emperor looked up at him with majestic eyes, "Do you know how many people are under Xun Feiguang's command?"

The second prince was taken aback, wondering why his father suddenly mentioned this, he said uncertainly: "Four thousand?"

The emperor snorted, "Four thousand, the real number is almost ten times!"

"Forty thousand?!" The two princes hesitated, "When did he recruit so many people? Is he trying to rebel?"

"Servants, buddies, guards, adopted children, add up the two of you and calculate." The emperor's face flashed with anger, "If you don't say [-], let's count down!"

"Does the buddy and the children you take in count as well?" The second prince still couldn't come to his senses, "Father, Duke Xun is dedicated to the public, don't we..."

The second prince had been taught by Xun Feiguang for several years when he was young, and he was regarded as his half disciple. Hearing that such a big hat was going to fall on Xun Feiguang's bald head, he couldn't help but speak a few words for Xun Feiguang.It doesn't matter if Xun Feiguang is unlucky, but it would be bad if it involves him.

The Eldest Prince did not agree with his words at all, "Your Royal Brother, you haven't seen the posture of Xun Feiguang's servants, not to mention servants, even maids and maidservants possess martial arts, we must not despise these people."

The younger brother stared at the second prince, "You always think that Xun Feiguang is still that respectable and trustworthy person?"

As soon as the second prince's eyes met his father's, he couldn't utter the original words. He muttered: "I haven't contacted Xun Feiguang for a long time, and my impression has been stuck in the past. I will go back and find out where Xun Feiguang is. What Nanguan Mansion did."

Hearing what he said, the emperor's face softened a little.

The eldest prince said from the side: "Father, it seems that Xun Feiguang and Shen Ge have disobedience. Shall we send someone to bring them?"

"Who's going to get it?"

The eldest prince immediately knelt down and saluted, "I am willing to accept this job!"

"Idiot!" the emperor scolded unceremoniously, "what are you going to get? Xun Feiguang has been in the army for more than ten years, and his roots are deep. With his ability, can you really catch him? If you can’t, are you sure you can tie him up once he goes out to sea in a boat?”

This is naturally impossible, not to mention helping Xun Feiguang, even if Dayan confronted them for so long with the foreigners and Japanese pirates who were making trouble along the coast, he couldn't tie up a few.If Xun Feiguang really turned his back on, learning from foreign barbarians and Japanese pirates entrenched on overseas islands, the troubles would be no less than letting the tiger go back to the mountain.

After being scolded, the first prince huddled in a corner like a quail and did not dare to speak out. The second prince also did not dare to speak out when he saw this. There was a moment of silence in the hall.

After a long time, the second prince said cautiously, "Father, should we just leave it like this? Do you think you haven't seen or heard it?"

The emperor waved his hand, "How can you tolerate bees in your arms?"

After all, the two princes couldn't ask anything, so they could only retreat carefully and go back to discuss with their staff.

Shen Ge recruited the first batch of students at the beginning of spring. These people were all from Qing Lingwei and Bailiyi's staff, and there were also orphans adopted by the Xun family.

Not many people, but two hundred and three people.

Among these people, 150 entered the military academy, 30 entered the business school, 18 entered the engineering college, and five entered the agricultural college.

In the minds of ordinary people, everyone knows how to farm, and there is no need to waste money to learn it. It is a waste of 20 taels a year, but it can't be wasted like this.

Shen Ge originally wanted to name the College of Agriculture "College of Biological Agriculture". Although it is said to be a school of agriculture, it is still quite different from general agriculture.However, there is no concept of "biology" at all these days. Shen Ge estimated that the Agricultural College would not make much progress in the short term, so he did not mention it.

The subjects chosen by the students, Shen Ge, have not been adjusted, they choose whatever they choose.

When the old gentlemen recommended by Hu Qingyan heard about the college that Shen Ge wanted to open, they wrote to them one after another, and either tactfully or bluntly refused, so Shen Ge did not recruit new gentlemen before the school started.

Not only did there not be any new teachers, but only seven days after the start of school, the carrier pigeons from Kyoto had already arrived. Qin Shi's family members wrote sixteen letters in a row, advising him not to get involved in this muddy water.

Qin Shi originally lost the bet and Fang stayed. Seeing this situation, Shen Ge didn't dare to force him, so he asked Hu Naiqing to annul the previous bet.

Hu Naiqing didn't say much, told Qin Shi that the bet was worthless, and then went back to deal with chores in the academy.

Qin Shi felt extremely guilty, but he was a dude with a wife and children, so he didn't dare to fight against the capital, so he could only force Chen Ge to pay 1 taels as "redemption money" to go back early.

In less than ten days, Yin Zuimo's family letter also arrived, and the letter strictly forbade him to stay away from Shen Ge and the others.Yin Zuimo had no choice but to find Shen Ge to say goodbye.

Shen Ge didn't make things difficult for him, just as Qin Shi hadn't left yet, Shen Ge simply sent him back to Beijing with Qin Shi.

So far, there are [-] students in the four sub-colleges of the college, only Xun Feiguang, Shen Ge, Hu Naiqing, Manzi, Bailiyi, Shaoxin and a few gentlemen. Somewhat shabby.

As the chief dean, Hu Naiqing was in charge of the engineering college while taking care of chores. Anyway, there were only [-] students, so it was not troublesome.

Xun Feiguang and Shaoxin are in charge of the military academy. They say they are in charge of the military academy, but in fact they only have one class. Xun Feiguang occasionally attends one class, and Shaoxin attends three classes every five days. Sometimes Shaoxin will grab an experienced centurion to come over and teach Experience, the extra time is still led by the team leader selected by the students to complete the homework assigned by the teacher above.

In the entire Qing Lingwei, there are too many people who know military affairs. Although they have the most people in the Military Academy, they are actually the ones who manage it best.

The few young players Shen Ge is optimistic about have all enrolled, such as Fan Chuida and the others.They already had experience in leading troops, and they couldn't be more comfortable helping Shaoxin and other gentlemen in managing people.

The military academy does not only talk about actual combat, but also the concept of loyalty and righteousness. However, this "loyalty" is loyalty to Xun Feiguang, not to the emperor. This righteousness is not traditional righteousness, but to fellow soldiers. righteousness.

There must be practice, but also theory. Shen Ge wants to create a team of high-quality loyal Qing Lingwei.

The business school is managed by Bai Liyi and Manzi, this is their old line of business, the two manage it very smoothly, it has only been ten days since the school started, they have taken the students out to do business two or three times, and the students have expressed that they have gained a lot.

As for the College of Agriculture, Shen Ge bit the bullet and kept up. The research on crop fertilizers, growth environment, and disease resistance were all blank. Just as spring was here, Shen Ge took five students to the fields to farm. Several fields have been planted under field conditions, and we plan to use different methods to plant crops in the fields, as a control group, and complete large-scale experiments.

Although Feiguang Academy is still a little crude, it has been opened in earnest. Every morning, the spirit of all the students coming out to do exercises amazes the common people who see them.

But what do those big shots think in their hearts, the ordinary people are very happy to watch the excitement.

"I didn't expect the academy to be open like this. Mr. Shen is indeed the number one scholar, a talented man!"

"Have you ever thought about it? Wang bit the dog, you are an afterthought, and you don't take a piss to take pictures of yourself. How can you compare with Mr. Shen?" Someone laughed and scolded, "But if you think so, why don't you send your Sanlang away Give it a try? It's not like you can't take out 20 taels, your family Saburo is smart since he was a child, so he may not really learn anything."

"I said yes. Your Sanlang failed to pass the scholar examination twice. I'm afraid he won't have much future in studying. Why don't you go to Feiguang College for a try. Whether you are in the army or in business in the future, you can always earn 200 taels a year." Come on? I heard that everyone in Qing Lingwei can earn this amount!" The speaker also stretched out ten fingers to compare.

"That's right, you spend more than 20 taels of money on your family's Saburo every year, and it's all in vain. Why don't you go to Feiguang Academy for a try? If it really doesn't work, you can study for a year and a half before dropping out to find a serious one." Well, sir, there is no delay anyway."

The rest of the people didn't think it was a big deal to watch the excitement, and you talked and tried to persuade them.

Wang Yaogou was really moved by being teased, he gritted his teeth and said, "Sure, if you don't enter the tiger's lair, how can you catch a tiger's cub, I'll go back and think about it."

Everyone got together to chat, and it wasn't just Wang biting the dog who was excited, several men next to him had strange looks on their faces, 20 taels of silver, gritted their teeth and tightened their belts.
