In the autumn of the fourth year of Zaiqian, the school finally opened.
On the first day of the new semester, Li Ang took Chai Chai on a formal tour of the campus - what amazed Chai Chai most in the academy was not the publication house known as the lifeline of the Yu Kingdom, nor the library that collected all kinds of books from all over the world. , not even the Dongjun Tower that houses countless alienated objects. . .
But the cafeteria.
The Xuegong Canteen occupies a huge area and is divided into upper and lower floors. There are hundreds of well-paid celebrity chefs, cooks, and helpers inside, who can cook local dishes from all over the country.
Because the academy is often understaffed (many doctoral students and senior students often go out),
The cafeteria chefs do not have to work every day, but can rotate and work part-time at Chang'an Restaurant on weekdays. This means that the weekly menu is not fixed, depending on who is the chef on duty that day.
Chai Chai was very satisfied with this. Unfixed recipes were more interesting than fixed ones.
And because of the huge subsidies that Yu State gives to the academy every year, the dishes in the cafeteria are also ridiculously cheap.
Dishes cost hundreds or even hundreds of ren in Chang'an Restaurant, but may only cost 20 or 30 ren in the cafeteria, or even less. Fully meet the needs of students with different financial backgrounds.
Of course, some of the disciples of the academy may not be rich, but there are definitely none who are poor or even destitute and cannot afford to eat meat. Just a student ID is enough for the wealthy families in Chang'an City to try their best to send money and make a good friend. edge.
The most direct way to stuff money is to recruit a son-in-law or get married.
A little more tactfully, they would provide financial support under the banner of "we have relatives in our hometown" or "we have old friends in our ancestors".
If it doesn't work, you can still "hire" a disciple from the academy to tutor the children at home, and then give you a high commission.
There are only a few people who give money simply and rudely.
"A student ID card can easily earn tens of thousands of dollars..."
Chai Chai was astonished and said: "Then if I were shameless and ran to more stores, wouldn't I be able to get a hundred thousand yuan or more?"
"Theoretically, it is possible, but except for those businessmen who are so poor that they only have money and are obsessed with pursuing social status, the wealthy people in Chang'an will basically not take advantage of them without thinking."
Li Ang explained casually: "To a large extent, they also look at who they choose. Before spending money to make friends, they will also evaluate the potential of the academy disciples.
What they pursue is that in ten or twenty years, the disciples they sponsor will climb to high positions and be able to provide help and convenience to their families. "
"oh oh."
Chai Chai nodded as if understanding, "Are there any kind of academy disciples who take money and do nothing?"
"rare."
Li Ang said casually: "The disciples of the Academy are equal to half of Chang'an people, and the people of Chang'an are still very proud. Accepting money is equivalent to owing a favor.
Moreover, the academy also has regulations. If someone inside uses the academy’s sign to brazenly cheat and seek benefits,
The highest penalty is the destruction of student status. "
Destroying student status is equivalent to social death within the academy. Former teachers and classmates will never interact with them again.
The only thing more serious than this is to commit an unforgivable crime like Jun Qianzi, and be on the wanted list within the academy, and be hunted by the academy for life.
Since lunch time had not yet come, Li Ang took the reluctant Chai Chai and left the canteen to go for a walk in the back mountain.
His house in the back mountain is still there, and because Chai Chai was also admitted to the academy, Li Ang bought a complete set of brand-new furniture such as bedding and a washbasin one day in advance and put them in the house.
He and Chai Chai were both in the academy. If school was over too late or something happened, they could even stay directly in the house on the back hill without having to take a carriage back to Jinchengfang.
From a selfish point of view, Li Ang himself felt that living in the back of the academy was actually safer than living in Jinchengfang.
At least if something strange happens, the academic doctors can rush to support instantly.
'In a sense, this can be regarded as a school district house. It is really a house built in the school.
Moreover, it is surrounded by mountains and rivers, and the security conditions are excellent - the teachers are more capable than the others.
When bad guys break in, it's really the faculty and staff team warming up. '
Li Ang thought indifferently, and he and Chai Chai left the back mountain house and headed to the supervising building.
Chai Chai is a freshman in Zaiqian's fourth year and has classes on the first floor of the supervising building, while Li Ang and the others are already in their second year and their classes have been moved upstairs.
Walking into the classroom, the classmates were in groups, chatting about what they did during the holidays.
Yang Yu, who went hunting outside Chang'an City with others, was fiddling with a wolf fang in his hand and talking about his experience with joy.
"It's a pity that you didn't go, Risheng. A group of us made an appointment at that time. Whoever caught the least prey would be responsible for making fires for cooking and cleaning up the camp.
I didn't encounter any prey larger than a rabbit in the forest all day, until a quarter of an hour before the whistle blew, I suddenly ran into a group of hungry coyotes with green eyes.
I sat on the horse and pulled out an arrow. One arrow shot through the wolf's eye socket. Then I put a micro-flame talisman on the knife. I raised the knife and lowered it. I raised the knife and lowered it. I chopped down three coyotes. .
The remaining wolves that fled in a hurry were wiped out by me and others in one fell swoop.
If the wolf meat hadn't been roasted half-cooked and the wolf skins were torn, I would have had to take a few skins back to Chang'an as a souvenir. "
"Tsk."
Li Wei curled his lips and said, "Why don't you tell the whole story? That group of coyotes wandered over from nowhere, and they were so hungry that their chests were touching their backs, and their backs were visible.
And the arrow that passed through the eye socket of the wolf was completely lucky.
As for using the micro-flame talisman in the forest, thanks to your imagination, it almost didn't cause a forest fire. "
"In the end, it wasn't because I didn't have enough cultivation that I didn't get burned."
Yang Yu coughed awkwardly, turned to look at Yong Hongzhong and said, "Hongzhong, I heard that you went to Lingnan?"
"Yes. I went to Lingnan to travel with my uncle."
Yong Hongzhong lifted a box from under the table. After opening the wooden box, it contained various gold ornaments and a gorgeous fan made of colorful bird feathers.
"Is this a Thousand Feather Fan?"
The knowledgeable classmates were shocked and said: "The book said that it was made from the feathers of a thousand different kinds of birds. It has a magical quality. It was specially used by the Xue people to worship the gods, and it was lost fifty years ago. "
"Yes."
Yong Hongzhong nodded, "I bought this thing in an antique store. It seems to be able to transmit human voices through the sound of the wind, a bit like the wind communication technique of the Cloud Patrol Realm.
After school, I will ask Dr. Wei Shanjun to identify it to see if it is an alienated substance. "
...You can buy alienated objects in antique shops on the street? What luck?
The expressions of many students were extremely wonderful.
The school's attitude toward alienated substances is relatively flexible, and it is cautious about those alienated substances with unknown effects.
Those alienated substances that have long-term research experience and are determined to be harmless will also be used.
If it is determined that the Thousand Feather Fan has no obvious side effects, then Yong Hongzhong, as the discoverer, will have the property rights of the Thousand Feather Fan.
You can collect them yourself or sell them.
"I followed my clan brother to the northern border, and while discussing trade matters with the locals, I bought this with four hundred jars of wine."
Dou Chi, from the Shaoqing family of Honglu Temple, smiled slightly and took out a snow-white bearskin cloak. Its fur was shiny and smooth, like silk.
"Wow..."
There was another burst of exclamation in the classroom. Compared with the Thousand Feather Fan, all the students could intuitively estimate the value of this cloak - there may not be such a complete and beautiful bearskin cloak in the Daming Palace.
"There are three pieces in total. The best one has been sent to the palace. The second piece is for the elders in the family, and this one is left to me."
Dou Chi put away his cloak with a slight look of satisfaction. Judging from his expression, he probably wished that winter was about to come and he could wear this dress and go out every day.
"But I'm not the furthest one yet,"
Dou Chi waved his hand and said, "Silang is the one."
Everyone looked at Pei Jing, who was holding a book and reading silently in the corner of the classroom.
Pei Jing felt the gaze, raised her head, and nodded calmly, "I followed my family's fleet to the edge of the Endless Sea to explore a new route to Japan."
"The endless sea..."
Yang Yu was slightly speechless. The Japanese and Yu kingdoms faced each other across the sea. There was a large sea area in between that was inhabited by various strange sea beasts. It was extremely dangerous and was regarded as an extension of the endless sea.
Private merchant ships had to make a large circle to reach the Japanese country, which was not only time-consuming and labor-intensive, but also prone to encountering wind and waves and losing their goods.
Therefore, there are always people who want to cross less dangerous areas in the endless sea, develop new routes, and shorten navigation time.
'The Pei family is actually willing to let Pei Jing run around...'
As soon as the question arose in Yang Yu's mind, he thought of the answer.
The Pei family has a great business and numerous guests. It is perfectly fine for three or four high-level practitioners to accompany Pei Jing to gain experience.
Gee, it’s really annoying to compare people to each other.
Yang Yu smacked his lips, sighing at the gap between people.
"By the way, Risheng,"
Li Wei reacted and turned to look at Li Ang, "I heard that your family's Cui Qiao also got admitted to the Academy under your guidance? Congratulations, there are two Academy disciples in the family. You said you are not a Wenqu star who has descended to earth. People believed it.”
"No, Cui Qiao can be admitted to the Academy mainly thanks to the help of Le Ling and Fan Shuang."
Li Ang waved his hand quickly and said modestly: "I basically stayed at home during this holiday and did nothing."
In addition to publishing more than a dozen papers, he also went to Bingzhou and saved Taiyuan County.
Li Ang added silently in his heart.
