After laughing, Yu Qian still looked at the teacher solemnly and said worriedly: "But teacher, since Zhu Di has thoughts about the teacher, it is best for the teacher to return to Daming as soon as possible."
"It just so happens that Zhu Zhanji is still willing to help us. If we don't leave now, I'm afraid he won't be able to leave in the future."
Now they are in Xinming Capital. If Zhu Di is determined to force the teacher to go to the Five Families, then they will not be able to escape.
Even if they leave Xinming immediately, they will probably need Zhu Zhanji's help to have a glimmer of hope.
"It's not as serious as you said." Han Du waved his hand slightly and said calmly: "Zhu Di can't control me yet. As long as I don't want to go, there is nothing he can do to me..."
"Teacher, but..." Yu Qian wanted to persuade him again, but was interrupted by Han Du.
Han Du smiled and told Yu Qian about what he had asked Zhu Di to give him a hundred warships.
After hearing this, Yu Qian immediately understood what the teacher meant. Don't you, Zhu Di, want to force the teacher to go? Then the teacher opened his mouth.
As long as you, Zhu Di, are satisfied, it's not impossible to go there.
One hundred warships. If Zhu Di could really produce so many warships, let alone a teacher, Yu Qian himself would have the confidence to take a wave on the other side of the sea.
"So, we are still safe for the time being." Han Du said to Yu Qian with a smile.
Yu Qian frowned and sighed: "But teacher, ever since the disciple heard that Zhu Di wanted to force the teacher to find people from the five families, the disciple has never been able to calm down."
"The disciples feel that instead of staying in Xinming, we should return to Daming as soon as possible!"
Yu Qian feels that only by returning to the Ming Dynasty can he truly settle down. If he continues to stay here, who knows if Zhu Di will go crazy?
What if Zhu Di breaks out directly and forces the teacher to go to the Five Families? How can the teacher not go? The knife is in Zhu Di's hand now. If they continue to stay in Xinming, it will be too passive for them.
The smile on Han Du's face quickly dissipated, he smacked his lips helplessly and sighed: "Actually, after I found you, I wanted to take you back. But I didn't expect that Zhu Di would spend such a huge amount of money.
....."
Listening to the teacher's words, Yu Qian looked at the teacher in silence and guiltily.
Before he came to Xinming, he had only heard a lot about Xinming from Zhu Zhanji. With his strong curiosity, his idea of coming to Xinming grew uncontrollably, and even spread to other people through him.
On people.
But Yu Qian didn't expect that Zhu Di would actually give them titles...
"Teacher, I'm sorry, disciple..."
Han Du directly waved his hand to stop what he was saying, and shook his head with a smile: "Don't say that, everyone has their own ambitions, and you can't be entirely blamed for this. In fact, I am really happy for them. Zhu Di is right, if they can live forever
If they stay in the Ming Dynasty, they will probably be just ordinary people with only the name of a bachelor until they grow old and die."
"But it's different here. They have titles that can last for generations. There's nothing wrong with that."
Yu Qian was still a little worried: "But if this news spreads back to the academy, then I'm afraid more teachers and students will choose to come to Xinming..."
The students who worked so hard to educate the Ming Dynasty Royal Academy all went to Xinming, so wouldn't this be a wedding dress for Xinming?
"Yes, this matter is indeed troublesome..." Han Du took a deep breath and sighed: "But this is something that the emperor should consider, and we don't need to worry about it."
Yu Qian was stunned for a moment, then saw the teacher blinking at him, and instantly understood what the teacher meant.
Yes, why should you worry about all this? If all the teachers and students from the Imperial Academy of the Ming Dynasty came to the Xinming Dynasty, then it is the emperor who should be worried.
In order to avoid the loss of these people, the Ming Emperor had to consider how to retain them.
Even if it is impossible to reach the level like Zhu Di, where anyone who is willing to come will be given the lowest earl title, at least it will have to offer huge benefits to attract academy students to stay in the Ming Dynasty.
This is a huge good thing for both the Ming Dynasty Royal Academy and his students, so Han Du will not be anxious.
Yu Qian, who was originally thinking about how to prevent the news from being sent back to the Ming Dynasty, now changed his mind instantly. The news should be sent back as soon as possible so that the students at the Royal Academy of the Ming Dynasty would know.
Although the lives of gentlemen from the Royal Academy of the Ming Dynasty are much better than those of ordinary people, in real terms they are not very good, at least not comparable to those of the Xinming Dynasty.
Most of these people would rather stay in the academy and do various experiments to verify their ideas than become officials.
This resulted in these gentlemen having almost no other financial resources except the academy salary and the meager salary of the bachelor's degree.
The combined income of the two parties is 20 yuan a month, but with this income alone, it will be impossible to buy a house in the capital and settle down in the rest of my life.
Although there are various rewards in the academy, as long as you can get one, let alone buying a house, even if the whole family can have food and drink for a lifetime, which of these rewards is not a huge problem.
It has been so many years since the academy was built, how many people can really get the rewards? Most of the academy gentlemen still live on their little salary and salary.
And when the news about Xinming comes back, if Zhu Yunye doesn't want all the teachers and students in the academy to run away, then he must find a way to keep them.
The way to retain people is very simple, just give them money.
Yu Qian nodded in agreement, suddenly thought of a question, and said quickly: "But teacher, we have to go back to Ming Dynasty sooner or later. Why not ask the disciples to find Zhu Zhanji and ask him to send us back then. This can be considered as a precautionary measure?"
"My teacher advises you not to be anxious." Han Du interrupted him directly and said in a deep voice: "This matter needs to be discussed in the long run, and we will discuss it when the time comes."
"Why?" Yu Qian looked puzzled: "Isn't it good to prepare in advance and take precautions?"
Han Du smiled coldly, shook his head and said: "This is not a matter of preparing for a rainy day, but if you tell Zhu Zhanji about this, it will be equivalent to telling him our plan clearly. If he really doesn't want to be disadvantageous to us
, that's fine, but if he has other thoughts about us, wouldn't we be trapping ourselves?"
"But teacher, just now you said that Zhu Zhanji will help us, and he has indeed helped me..." Yu Qian became more and more confused as he listened. He praised Zhu Zhanji for a while, and then expressed his admiration for the teacher.
Zhu Zhanji was wary.
Han Du shook his head slightly and said in a deep voice: "Of course you can choose to believe Zhu Zhanji at this time or that time, but no matter what time it is, you can't lose your guard."
"This...I understand!" Yu Qian nodded with deep understanding.
