"At this time, I am not able to send the general back to the north. The general also knows that even if Lao Cai wants to help the general, it will be difficult."

Cai Yan was silent for a moment and said, "The status of the four armies is respectful. Once they become the commander of the Tianwu Army, unless the court fights against Xixia and Liao, the general can return to the battlefield. However, the reality is different. It is very likely that they will stay in the capital for the rest of their lives and will never have the chance to return to the Huaide Army. Therefore... everything needs to be decided carefully by the general."

Meng Fei was worried and didn't know how to make up his mind. How could the Yuhou of Huaide Army compare with the commander of the Tianwu Army?

Being in the army, Meng Fei knew very well the difference between the two. Seeing his hesitation, Cai Yan nodded in his heart.

"This kind of good thing is usually not rejected by the general. The general hesitated, which means that the general is a real warrior, hesitating whether he will have the chance to return to the two armies to fight bravely in the future."

...

"Maybe the general has the idea of ​​getting up wherever he falls, or maybe he has let his former opponent or brother see you stand up again, but the general should know that the commander of the Fourth Army is no less than the commander of the Huaide Army. If he occupies such a position, he will be considered a glory and wealth."

"But this is just power, just status, and has nothing to do with the glory obtained by fighting in the army. I think this is the reason why the general hesitated."

Cai Huang was silent for a moment and said, "The general is in the army. I think he knows that the Liao Kingdom is in trouble in the north. I can tell the general clearly that the Liao Kingdom will eventually perish. Once the Liao Kingdom is destroyed, the world will be in chaos!"

"One is the Huaide Army, the other is the Fourth Army. In the midst of chaos, I don't know how to choose the right choice. This requires the general to consider it himself. Of course, if the general does not choose either, he can also stay with the boy, be a teacher in the school, and teach a group of children the skills of fighting in battle formations."

Cai Yan was silent for a moment. He originally wanted the man in front of him to teach the baby to fight in battle, but now it is only three years in Zhenghe. It takes ten years for the Liao and Jin to decide the victory or defeat. It is much better to build his own team in ten years than to be suppressed everywhere in the court.

With Cai Jing's power climbing to a high position, Cai Jing will naturally be safe and sound. But if he falls, he will suffer the consequences. He will succeed according to others, and he can also be controlled by others.

But he didn't expect that the opportunity would come so quickly, and the navy generals were easy to find. The Sea Dragon Gang was a pirate. He had the same strength as the naval battle. Cai Yan believed that the final victory must be the Sea Dragon Gang. The Song Dynasty had been comfortable for too long, and it was just a fearful empty air.

The navy generals didn't need to worry, and the infantry generals were in trouble. Looking at everyone around them, only Meng Fei from the former Yuhou of Huaide Army was more suitable.

The four upper armies have a respectable status and are equipped with the strongest infantry armor in the world. Perhaps if someone else has changed, they will think that it is a bit inappropriate for a Yuhou to command the Tianwu Army. However, Cai Yan doesn't think so. Since the Tanyuan Alliance, Song and Liao Kingdoms have no major wars. In addition to secret spies fighting, the two sides have almost zero chances of using swords and guns. The only one who has actual combat is the Western Army. At the forefront of the Western Xia Kingdom, the Huaide Army can be imagined.

He sent away Meng Fei, who was hesitant, drove away the chattering Lu Tao, and sat alone in the study in a daze. He didn't understand why the huge Song Dynasty collapsed in such a short time?

"well……"

"It's better to rely on yourself than to rely on your parents..."

Cai Fei sighed helplessly. He knew that when Meng Fei was hesitating, the result was already out. The longer the hesitation, the more iron it was, and the fact was the same. On the second day, Meng Fei signed his name on the paper. In the morning of the third day, Cai Fei stood on the pier, poured three bowls of wine for him, and watched the big ship go north from the shore...

Yucai Academy offered courses silently. In addition to being a numerator in the school, Gu Qinniang also had eleven men. After seeing the boys in the school, he was speechless and depressed. There were only 47 in total, and Lu Tao and himself had to be included.

It's funny to think about it. If you look closely, the gentlemen in the school are all his slaves. Looking at the old man standing in front of him with a cold face, and looking at the old man behind him who was panicked or resentful, Cai Yan had not spoken for two quarters of a minute.

"If the teacher really cannot teach, I can send him back to the Liao Kingdom, send him to Beijing, and continue to do it for..."

“The hill is long.”

Just as Cai Yan was about to make the final decision, Sun Miao suddenly walked out.

Sun Miao bowed his fists and said, "Please calm down on your anger. It's not that Mr. Chen doesn't want to teach the boy, it's just... just..."

"But the saint's words are less?" Cai Yan said Sun Miao's words, looked at the old man with gray hair, and said, "Don't mention how much brocade has been spent to buy you and buy your family, and only the contract signed with you. I think you should do your best to teach boys to read and write?"

Cai Yan looked at him coldly, but no one dared to look him in the eyes. Even the stubborn old man Chen Zonghan lowered his eyebrows.

"I don't care what sins or grievances you committed in Liao Kingdom or deserve to be a slave. I paid the money and with your contract to sell your body, even in the Song Dynasty, it would be unchanged."

"All scholars, all those who know etiquette, righteousness, integrity and shame. I don't plan to treat you as slaves. I have paid you monthly salary. You and your family's contracts have also been paid back. As long as you honestly work as a teacher who has been teaching and educating in the school for three years, why is it so difficult?"

Cai Yan felt inexplicably angry. This era has mature primary school teaching materials, but unlike later generations, they studied in the same lecture hall. It is not unusual to have a teenager or a decade. It is not easy to have a big difference in age. But who made the exam fail?

These are not problems, just grading is required. However, when Cai Yan was about to add pinyin and punctuation and sentences, he asked them to use the official language professors of the Song Dynasty to add some miscellaneous studies. When the class "The General Essay on Wu Jing" was taught, these old scholars all opposed it and were dissatisfied.

When I think of the treatment I give and look at the current group of old people, I feel annoyed.

"You, and the family behind you, have spent 20,000 kilowatts of money from our Cai family, and have to pay the same high salary in three years!"

"In three years, can you train a Juren or a Jinshi? If any of you dare to guarantee that you can teach a Jinshi in three years, I will accept it if you spend tens of thousands of yuan. Everything will be subject to you!"

Cai Yan looked at everyone one by one.

"Who can guarantee it?"

Chen Zonghan was about to step forward, but Sun Miao hurriedly reached out to stop him...

"Old Chen is sure to teach a Jinshi within three years, so you don't have to stop him."

Cai Yan spoke, and Chen Zonghan's face turned red. I don't know if it was annoyed or ashamed, but he couldn't help but say: "I have been suffering for ten years, but how could I get into the exam in three years? Didn't Xiaoshan Chang deliberately make things difficult for me?"

Cai Yan couldn't help but smile.

"hehe……"

"Old Chen also knows that three years is impossible. What after that? After that, Mr Chen left a bunch of waste to the Cai family, a bunch of boys who only knew dozens of words in three years, and a bunch of boys who could not know anything, is that true?"

Cai Yan was a little angry. Forty or fifty people in the school said they were boys, but they were actually young men over ten years old. If he really wanted to train a scholar in the scientific examination, why would it take so much effort?

Looking at them, Cai Yan said expressionlessly: "The respect you should give has been given. If you are ready to breach the contract, I will send you back to Beijing and make you a Pijianu."

"If you want to stay, you have to be obedient and understand who is the boss here!"

"I don't care whether you really want to teach and educate people or want to fool me, in short, within three years, you will do whatever I say! As for whether these boy students can pass the imperial examinations, that's my business, and it has nothing to do with you!"

"I will only say it once today, and I will not mention it again in the future. Which of you wants to return to Liao Kingdom? Just speak directly. Cai's Mansion is not afraid of trouble!"

Cai Yan was dissatisfied and said very rudely. He took a few more re-established course schedules before he got up and left.

A bunch of old men with white hair looked like eggplants made from frost. Sun Miao picked up the "Course Schedule" and read it, and couldn't help but sigh and smile.

"well……"

Sun Miao looked at Gu Qinniang, the only female lady among them, and sighed: "Miss Gu is familiar with the hills. The hills used to be so arrogant... so arrogant?"

Sun Miao didn't know what words to use. Gu Qinniang had seen Cai Yan's method and was silent as she watched her uncle and uncle become her uncle...

"Qin Niang only knows that three years later, Qin Niang is free."

Everyone was stunned and then smiled bitterly. They were all just slaves, they were criminal scholars bought by Cai Yan from the Liao Kingdom, and some were exiled officials of the Liao Kingdom. Thinking of Cai Yan's arrogance, I didn't know what kind of mood they were.

After these people came to Hangzhou, they learned about the dilemma facing the Cai family within a few days. They didn’t know what their considerations were that they became masters in the school and were very disdainful of the courses formulated by Cai Yan.

Whether Cai Yan was satisfied or not, the boys sent from the old village were definitely not used to take the scientific examination. When no one in Hangzhou was willing to come to the school to study, he was too lazy to pretend to be a little decorated, so he directly changed Yucai School to Hangzhou Yanwu Primary School.

Boss Su did not lie to him. Sure enough, he got some old horses from the northern Liao Kingdom. In addition to the two top-quality foals specially prepared for him, the remaining one hundred and twenty of them were retired old horses.

The Liao Kingdom was extremely smart. Unless it was old horses, it was difficult to sell them to the Song Kingdom. Moreover, these horses were castrated. Once they were retired from service after more than their years, they would be useless even if they were obtained by the Song Kingdom. There were only a lot of them, so they just farmed and dragged carriages.

When farming, old horses are not as stamina as calves, and dragging goods are not as good as donkeys, mules last long, and war horses consume a lot. Even if they are bought and slaughtered, they are not as delicious as cattle and sheep. Once retired, such old horses are not worth much money. Hairui Business, which often deals with the Liao Kingdom, has successfully purchased more than 100 war horses.
