Liu Xie stayed with Lu Bu for dinner, then talked for nearly an hour, learned about all aspects of the situation before letting Lu Bu rest.
Before leaving, Liu Xie asked another question.
Has your wife been born again?
Lu Bu, who was still chatting and laughing just now, suddenly became silenced. He held it in a long time before saying, "I have been fighting outside and I have no time."
Liu Xie understood at a glance.
It’s not that Lu Bu has no time, but that he has no time to accompany Mrs. Wei. He wanders on the grassland every day, soaking seeds everywhere, so he is so carefree. When he returns to Senei, he has already run out of ammunition and food, so he can’t have a baby.
"Who are you going to pass this Wen Hou?" Liu Xie asked, "Transfer to a bastard who you may not even remember?"
Lu Bu rubbed his hands awkwardly. "As the supreme emperor, how can he make frivolous words? I know, I know."
"Your wife is here too?"
"Here, how can you be absent for such a big thing?"
"Then you are here to stay for a while, and then leave after giving birth." Liu Xie glanced at Lu Bu. "By the way, let the imperial physician diagnose you with the pulse, and see if you are okay."
"My..." Lu Bu glared at his eyes, and then realized that the young man in front of him was the emperor and could not be arrogant. He quickly closed his mouth and bowed his hands to beg for mercy. "Your Majesty, I am staying here, what should I do if the wolf cavalry?"
"Let Wei Xu take the lead for the time being."
Lu Bu was stunned for a moment, and his stammering neck drooped completely.
Wei Xu is Mrs. Wei's elder brother. The emperor is determined to not let him leave if he doesn't have a baby.
In desperation, Lu Bu had no choice but to agree.
In addition to the majesty of the emperor, he really wanted a son. The title of Marquis Wen was obtained at such a great price. He could not be cut off because he had no heirs. It was just that he was too comfortable on the grassland, even if he thought of these things.
, and I couldn't control myself, so I kept delaying it.
After saying goodbye to the emperor, Lu Bu returned to his residence.
Lu Xiaohuan was talking with Mrs. Wei. The mother and daughter hadn't seen each other for two or three years, and had endless whispers. Seeing Lu Bu back, they looked depressed. They were both surprised and looked at each other and stood up at the same time.
"Ahon, what's wrong?"
"Nothing." Lu Bu avoided their eyes and waved his hand in a bad mood. "Grace of the Emperor, let me stay for a while while walking and stay with you."
Lu Xiaohuan was puzzled. "This is a good thing, why are you..."
Mrs. Wei snorted. "It's a good thing to you, but it's not necessarily to him."
Lu Xiaohuan immediately understood, but pretended not to know.
She realized this just now when she was chatting with her mother, but she didn't know how to persuade her. Lu Bu would listen to her advice and refused to change her mind. She had no choice. Now the emperor wants to keep Lu Bu, which makes her feel right.
"Since that's the case, I'll find a house with good scenery for you and stay for a while. Ah Weng, do you still remember the scene when you left Wuguan and went to Nanyang to meet Yuan Shu?"
Lu Bu frowned slightly, remembering the hardships of the past, and feeling a little more guilty towards his wife.
"Of course I remember."
"At that time, I wanted to stay in Nanyang but couldn't get it. Now you can live as long as you want. It's a pleasure to end the hardships. Since the emperor visited Nanyang, Nanyang has been like every day. If you go out tomorrow, you will know how good it is.
To put it carefully, you have your contributions here. If the trade routes to the Western Regions were not unobstructed, how could the cloth woven from so many weaving workshops in Nanyang be sold?"
Lu Bu looked at Lu Xiaohuan and saw Lu Xiaohuan blinking at him, understanding it.
——
In the winter of the seventh year of Jian'an, Nanyang was particularly lively.
First, the emperor was patrolling Nanyang, and the officials from all counties and states gathered in Nanyang, bringing news from all directions.
Second, Nanyang officially implemented the land of land, and millions of people have obtained long-lasting land, and their lives have also seen hope and their enthusiasm has increased. The establishment of a large number of weaving and printing houses has provided them with more opportunities to make a living.
, the hand is visible to the naked eye.
Before the New Year, weaving and printing shops paid salaries in advance, and according to their own conditions, they distributed some things that can be used for the New Year, such as beef, mutton, oil, rice, etc. If the conditions are good, they even sent some.
Waiting for clothing materials, it was a strange story for a while.
With money in the hands of the people, consumption immediately rose, and Wancheng ushered in unprecedented prosperity.
More foreign merchants flocked to us.
Nanyang Prefect Huang She was busy and happy.
The city tax alone has doubled several times compared to last year, and the things I want to do next year have a little more chance of success.
If you don’t have money, nothing you say is empty talk.
Building schools, hiring teachers, buying books and stationery, where do you need money?
But the prosperity in front of him made him understand that as long as the people support and unite, there is no problem that cannot be solved.
Schools can be built by local people, and books and stationery can be purchased by students themselves. 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 meal.
Despite this, the number of people is far from enough.
Under the thoughts of the left and right, Huang She decided to ask the emperor for help.
The great education of the great business was originally the emperor's decision, and he must have thought of these issues long ago.
Huang She paid homage to Liu Xie and explained his purpose.
Liu Xie was also surprised.
He didn't expect that so many schools and so many teachers would be needed.
This means massive fiscal expenditure.
Even if Huang She said that the school is built by the local area and does not require the county to provide funds, and the students are self-supported by books and stationery, the teachers' salary is also quite large.
A school with 200 or 300 people must be equipped with at least three teachers. According to the previous standard of 400 to 600 stones, one is more than one million. Even if the standard is lowered to 100 stones, it will cost 30 to 40 million.
A scholar earns ten thousand yuan a year and can barely make a living, so he can no longer be as low as possible.
Working in the workshop is more than this price.
Huang Xiu also thinks that it cannot be too low. It is too low. Scholars live too hard, and they can't last for too long with just a passion.
Since it was the standard of 400 to 600 s, it is better to implement this standard now. For many scholars, it is still very attractive to get the salary equivalent to that of a county magistrate and not having to work.
.
After all, there are not many people who can continue to climb up. Many people have been officials all their lives, namely county magistrates and county magistrates.
This cost is indeed not low, but Nanyang County can still afford it.
He can go and raise funds.
One hundred million seems to be a lot, but for the big players in Nanyang, it is really not a big money.
When the emperor built Wanjin Hall and sold official positions, 100 million was only one three-month. He was willing to use 100 million to exchange for three-month period in order to engrave the words "Auntie Wei" and "Auntie Situ" on the tombstone in the future.
, there are still many people.
Huang She said frantically, but Liu Xie was a little embarrassed.
It’s true that you don’t have to study. In front of me, you said that the late emperor sold official positions and titles, and you are really decent.
But this guy makes sense. Nanyang is not short of money, and there are too many big households with a net worth of billions. The reason why the late emperor was in financial difficulties was that these big and small vassals occupied a large amount of land but did not pay tribute to the court.
Is it?
Now it's time for them to bleed.
"As long as you can raise money, you don't have to worry about not having a teacher." Liu Xie said: "Situ's Mansion will issue an announcement in the residence newspaper, and a large number of scholars will come to apply for the job at that time."
