The completion of the academy gave many merchants confidence.
Facts have once again proved that the stubborn Chu Qing is the final winner, at least at this stage.
Finally, some businessmen went to Jingzhao Mansion to ask about tax deductions for opening schools.
In the confrontation with the Imperial College, Chu Qing escaped unscathed, and the highest academic institution in the Chang Dynasty was ruined. Even Gong Cheng'an, the Imperial College's wine sacrificer, "hanged himself" in the prison of the Ministry of Punishment.
Of course, merchants also have their own small ideas. Chu Qing still holds twenty palace examination quotas in his hand. This is their goal.
Because Chu Qing's staged victory also invisibly promoted the progress of the Chamber of Commerce.
A mile away from the greenhouse in the southern suburbs, another greenhouse was built.
This money was not spent by Chu Qing, it was raised by businessmen.
It's not that Chu Qing can't afford the money, but he wants the merchants to have a sense of "identity". If he pays the money, their efforts will be part of the establishment of the chamber of commerce.
Whatever seeds are sown, the fruits will be produced.
Chu Qing once again lamented that he was lucky and had met many like-minded people. What made him most fortunate was that he was the only lazy person in the circle, while everyone else was very hardworking.
So the diligent others were busy organizing the Chamber of Commerce, improving the poor academy, and building roads, while the lazy Chu Qing was sitting in the main hall and yawning.
Chu Qing felt a little inferior because Jiang Yuesheng was handling official duties and Fu San was studying Chang Lv in the corner, while he kept yawning, as if he was a idle person.
After thinking about it, Chu Qing decided to do something meaningful.
"Close the window and let me take a nap."
Jiang Yuesheng raised his head: "Sir, you have been asleep for two hours since you arrived at the government office today."
There are many questions accompanying Ergou every day, such as Chu Qing's "working hours" issue.
In the past, it was good for Chen Yan to sleep for three hours a day. During the day, he worked as an errand at the Ministry of Household Affairs and returned to the Qianqiying Yamen Office to handle official duties. As for Jiang Yuesheng, he was equally busy with his feet on the ground.
As a result, now that Chu Qing has taken over Qianqiying, he spends half of his time sleeping, and the remaining half of the time chatting with Fu San. But what depresses Jiang Yuesheng the most is that the Qianqiying office is not only functioning normally, but also working more efficiently.
The higher it gets.
In fact, this question is easy to understand. To put it bluntly, it just means money.
In the past, where did the expenses of Qianqi Camp come from? It came from the palace, from the emperor, and deducted the wages of Sun An and other eunuchs and maids. The majority of the income from several imperial estates was sent to the palace by Zhang Songling.
.
We still haven't reached a balance of payments. You can imagine how poor the bosses who pay wages must be like for the people working below.
It’s not that the explorers are lying flat and fishing, but reality doesn’t allow it.
Let's talk about going to other state capitals to find out information. How do you go about it? Take a carriage. If you don't have the money, go to the inn and use military horses. You are afraid of exposing your identity. You can use the horses in the government office. It costs too much to raise horses.
Years ago, in order to reassure the emperor, the King of Wu sent his daughter to the capital to accompany the prince. After Tan Ma found out the news, he rushed to the capital as soon as possible to let the emperor know about it in advance.
Just think about it, Tan Ma in Beijing relies on two legs to deliver news back and forth, so poor as hell, let alone Tan Ma from other places.
Later, the Tan Ma from Weijiang came to Beijing. As a result, Chang Chengke's daughters all enrolled in school and had been attending classes in the Chinese Language Building in the Palace for several days. It is estimated that if the Tan Ma had been delayed for a few more days, Chang Chengke's daughters would have graduated.
.
The duty of the Qianqi Camp is to deliver messages, and delivering messages requires speed. If you want speed, you must either ride a horse, fly pigeons, or use more high-end telepathy. In addition to telepathy, raising horses and pigeons costs money.
The boss is poor and his workers don’t have enough budget. This is the essence of the problem.
Chu Qing came and worked directly for the poor boss. He was responsible for his own profits and losses. Now, not only did the Tanma team have good food, but all of them had cars. They left Beijing for a business trip, and they also had transportation and horse expenses. They had enough money to eat meat every day, and they couldn't keep up with their nutrition.
It is said that as wages have increased, work efficiency has naturally improved, and it has increased exponentially.
Seeing Chu Qing sleeping on the table again, Jiang Yuesheng sighed.
He just felt that at Chu Qing's age, he was living such a lazy life and wasted his good years.
Of course, this is Jiang Yuesheng's idea.
He cut from the middle of the capital to the border, and then from the border back to the middle of the capital. He was as tired as a dead dog all day long. His good years were not wasted, and now he is the deputy commander.
Chu Qing sleeps every day, letting down his good years every day, and then...he is the commander-in-chief.
Jiang Yuesheng glanced at Chu Qing again and sighed slightly.
This is just like my mother. In my mother's eyes, if a child reads a book for an hour, he will go blind, but if a child reads a book for ten hours, nothing will happen.
"While my young master is still growing." Fu San glanced at Jiang Yuesheng: "You, a deputy commander, are responsible for whether the commander sleeps or not. You want to rebel?"
Jiang Yuesheng laughed happily and said nothing.
Ergou has learned to be smart now and never confronts Fusan head-on. He tries his best not to humiliate himself, which is the so-called temporary avoidance of the edge.
Fu San looked at Chu Qing: "Master, Ergou not only cares about your sleep, he also laughs and laughs at you."
Chu Qing raised his head and looked at Ergou with a frown: "You're just laughing, you don't care whether I sleep or not."
Jiang Yuesheng: “…”
Fu San continued to watch Chang Lu.
No matter whether Jiang Yuesheng said anything or not, he would always treat this guy.
Seeing that Chu Qing continued to sleep, the door was pushed open, and Wang Tongtong looked anxious: "Sir, there are guards in the palace, and I want you to enter the palace quickly."
Chu Qing raised his head: "Which palace collapsed again?"
"Beiguan Liangrong wants to declare war!"
The three people in the room all changed their expressions. Chu Qing grabbed the white fox fur and ran out.
The messenger was Tong Gui, standing at the door and pacing back and forth.
Before Chu Qing could ask, Tong Gui quickly explained: "Sir, this is not a military report. Half a day ago, another delegation from Liang Rong came to Beijing and submitted a letter of war. Your Majesty summoned many military generals to go to the Jingyi Hall.
"
After hearing this, Chu Qing quickly ran out of the government office, got into the carriage, and Fu San drove straight to the palace.
Sitting in the carriage, Chu Qing was worried.
As the Chinese New Year is about to begin, Liang Rong actually issued a declaration of war?
You don't need to think about it to know that it must be because of the Wu Ri incident.
But Chu Qing always felt that something was wrong. The Liang people and the Dachang Dynasty had fought hundreds of wars, large and small, and there had never been any precedent of issuing a war letter in advance.
In addition, winter has not yet passed, and even if the Liang people start a war, it will be after spring. After all, if they want to fight, they will also fight siege warfare. During a winter siege, non-combat attrition must reach at least 20%.
After thinking wildly, the carriage arrived outside the palace, and Chu Qing jogged all the way to the Jingyi Hall.
There were already more than a dozen courtiers having a heated discussion in the hall. Everyone was surrounding a huge map, a map of the northern pass and a less detailed map of the grassland.
Huang Laosi was wearing a dragon robe, looking at the map with his hands behind his back. Behind him were the ministers, most of whom were military generals, Nangong Xi and several ministers, arguing about each other.
The one who yelled the loudest was General Yunhui Tan Zhongping, and his saliva almost sprayed on Wei Changfeng's face.
"Food and grass can keep up. As long as the food and grass can keep up, and the arrears of food and wages are paid enough, 150,000, 150,000 Guanzhong troops will be able to conquer the grassland!"
Wei Changfeng didn't even bother to talk to Tan Zhongping.
Just now a general said that one hundred thousand people would be enough.
With this group of generals, every one of them can boast. In short, as long as the money is in place, we can go to the border and kill eight people back and forth.
As the Minister of Household Affairs, Wei Changfeng supported the generals to work as Liang people, but there was only one small problem, no money.
