There was no conversation all the way, and in this ambiguous and awkward atmosphere, the two of them arrived at the newly established liberal arts college.
The School of Liberal Arts was built in the center of Fengqiu City, the busiest stage, Pinghua Street.
Originally, Pinghua Street was a place where scholars and talents gathered in Fengqiu, and it was bustling every day.
Now that the liberal arts college is built here, Pinghua Street has become more lively than before.
Looking at the liberal arts college, which covers an area of hundreds of acres, Ye Long was also shocked.
The people and wealthy clans in Fengqiu City are so rich.
At this time, the College of Liberal Arts can be said to have been completed, with only the final small details and finishing work remaining.
Originally, Ye Long thought that the liberal arts college covering an area of 100 acres would be enough.
Unexpectedly, Dong Yuan actually built a liberal arts college covering an area of hundreds of acres. From the outside, the walls and gates of the liberal arts college looked so luxurious, high-end and classy.
Originally, Dong Yuan planned to occupy an area of 100 acres, because his start-up capital was not much.
But when the announcement of the establishment of the liberal arts college and the concept of the liberal arts college spread throughout the streets.
People in Fengqiu City, and even in major counties, towns, and villages in Chenliu Kingdom, actually took the initiative to donate money to the government.
In this war-torn era where the people were hungry and hungry, it was the first time that Dong Yuan saw that the people actually loved the government and took the initiative to donate their family's money.
This is something you really can't see anywhere else.
Later, after Dong Yuan slowly counted the numbers, he discovered that the people in Fengqiu City were not as hungry as he imagined.
Compared with the people in other places, the life they live can be said to be that of a wealthy family.
Before Ye Long occupied Fengqiu, the people in Fengqiu were indeed starving for three days because of lack of food and money.
But since Ye Long occupied Chenliu Kingdom and Fengqiu Hao, he began to recruit troops. He recruited tens of thousands of soldiers in Chenliu Kingdom.
The pay and treatment of soldiers in Ye Long's army are several times better than those in Hanting's army.
The compensation for dying in battle is also very generous.
All in all, Ye Long's welfare for soldiers is very good.
This shows the importance of soldiers to Ye Long.
After all, in troubled times, if he wants to conquer the world, Ye Long can't do it even with monsters, he has to rely on the soldiers in his hands.
If the soldiers are well treated, their monthly military pay will be sent home, or the government will send it home.
After the family members got the money, their lives improved and they had enough to eat.
Knowing that serving as soldiers under Ye Long would provide very good treatment, more and more people became soldiers!
Therefore, the lives of the people in Fengqiu are gradually moving towards a well-off life because there are soldiers at home.
For the people and the soldiers, being a soldier is a responsibility, an honor, and a job.
On the battlefield, those soldiers fought bravely to kill the enemy without any fear or worry.
Not only for achieving military exploits, but also for generous rewards.
Even if they die in battle, generous compensation will be sent to their relatives.
So they don't have any worries.
The compassionate payment after death in battle is very generous!
This is a treatment that is not available to other princes, even the Han court royal family.
Now Ye Long, the person who brought happy life to the people, wants to establish a liberal arts college, and the final consideration of the liberal arts college is also based on the common people.
There is insufficient funds to build a liberal arts college, so people naturally have to actively spend money randomly.
This is what Ye Long gave them. If Ye Long is in trouble, they will naturally help him.
Without Ye Long, they might have starved to death long ago. Under the exploitation of the dark clan's wealthy families and the imperial court, even if they didn't die, they would still be struggling to survive.
"What a luxurious and elegant liberal arts college..." Zhen Mi sat on the horse, her face flushed, unable to conceal the excitement in her heart.
When the medical school was successfully built, officially established, and the first batch of students were recruited, Zhen Mi visited the site in person.
The grand opening of the medical school, with the loud gongs and drums and the blast of firecrackers, is something she can never forget now.
Although the medical school is very grand and luxurious, compared with the liberal arts college, there are still some shortcomings.
The person who built the liberal arts college must have worked hard.
This will inevitably be the greatest and most magnificent building in the world.
"Master Ye, I don't want to go home, I want to become a student of the School of Liberal Arts!" Zhen Mi said excitedly. Those beautiful eyes were full of yearning and expectation.
"Miss Zhen, this liberal arts college recruits students from all over the world, ranging from five or six years old to seventy or eighty years old. Naturally, I welcome girls to join the liberal arts college and become students of the liberal arts college. But the girl's parents are far away in Jizhou, so The Yuan family in Jizhou has a big feud with me. As a native of Jizhou, it might be inappropriate for the girl to join the liberal arts college now." Ye Long thought for a while and said.
As for those petty people in the Yuan family, knowing that the daughter of the Zhen family in Jizhou will join the liberal arts academy will definitely embarrass the Zhen family. Zhen Mi will return to Jizhou for the sake of her family. With her beauty, it is strange that Yuan Shao is not moved by her.
Today, Yuan Shao is still very young, not to mention his son Yuan Xi, who is still a little baby, so if Zhen Mi wants to marry, she can only marry Yuan Shao...
When Ye Long saw Zhen Mi for the first time, he already regarded her as his forbidden love and would not allow her to be desecrated by others.
Zhen Mi's future husband must be Ye Long.
Therefore, if Zhen Mi joins the Academy of Arts now, she will probably attract the attention of Yuan Shao and other princes in advance. After all, with her appearance and intelligence, joining the Academy of Arts will definitely make her a school beauty and a bully. It is only a matter of time before she becomes famous.
He also wants Zhen Mi to join the College of Liberal Arts. After graduating from the college, she can work in the college as a teacher or professor! This will not only play her role, but also protect her more effectively.
Because the liberal arts colleges and medical schools were built in absolutely safe cities.
If the School of Liberal Arts and the School of Medicine are captured, it means that Ye Long has been completely defeated.
Of course, other cities can also build some branches, as long as they are smaller.
"Master Ye, the construction of the liberal arts college and the medical school is the greatest work of this country. When I return to Jizhou, I will persuade my mother to move to Yanzhou with me. I hope that Master Ye will welcome us then..." Zhen Mi first said His face was excited, and then his tone became a little shy.
Ye Long was slightly stunned, not fully understanding what Zhen Mi meant.
From the literal meaning, it seems that Zhen Mi was willing to leave her hometown in order to join the liberal arts academy, and was even willing to persuade her mother to move her family and settle in Yanzhou.
Zhen Mi really dares to think and do.
Most people would leave their parents and come to a place where they are unfamiliar with their lives. Unless you are a married woman, you really have no choice. If you marry far away, you can only marry a chicken and follow the chicken, marry a dog and follow the dog, and live in your husband's family.
But if you think about it deeply, Zhen Mi's words have much more meaning.
But no matter what, it would be best if Zhen Mi could persuade her mother to live in Fengqiu, Yanzhou, so that Zhen Mi's wish to join the liberal arts college could be realized and her safety could be guaranteed.
Today's Fengqiu is no longer what it used to be. After Pang Zhu was stationed here, he began to expand the city and build city walls. Today's Fengqiu seems to have the style and style of a big city, and is suitable for the inheritance and management of the city.
Living here is absolutely safe.
"Hahaha, if the girl has this intention, that would be the best. Miss Zhen will stay at the county house these days. When the girl wants to go back, I will send someone to accompany her and escort the girl's family all the way to Yanzhou. "Ye Long laughed heartily. In his opinion, Zhen Mi was already in his possession. As long as she was brought to Yanzhou, she would not be able to escape.
As for whether Zhen Mi can convince his mother, Ye Long is not worried at all. In history, Zhen Mi was able to convince the Zhen family to open a warehouse to increase food supply and provide relief to the people. It can be seen that although Zhen Mi is a woman, her status in the Zhen family is very high.
"Thank you so much, sir." Zhen Mi looked back at Ye Long, with an indescribable color in her eyes.
Looking at Zhen Mi's charming face, Ye Long was a little crazy.
The depression in my heart because of Yang Xue's incident also dissipated.
"Miss Zhen, you are truly the most beautiful woman in the world. Miss Zhen, will you marry me?" Ye Long's head cramped for no apparent reason.
After finishing speaking, Ye Long himself was stunned for a while. How could he express his true thoughts?
He regretted it. He and Zhen Mi had just met for the first time. If he said such Meng Lang's words, his image in Zhen Mi's heart would be greatly reduced.
Unexpectedly, Zhen Mi's next words made Ye Long even more stunned, and then a look of excitement appeared on his face.
"Mi is also devoted to the young master, and I hope that the young master will treat me well in the future..." Zhen Mi said shyly while biting the Yingchun. At this time, she was like a shy rose.
So charming and coquettish.
The deeds of Zixing were widely circulated in the Liu Han Dynasty and were known to everyone in the world.
In fact, the name Zhi Xing has long entered Zhen Mi's heart. She has long wanted to know who Zhi Xing is and what he looks like, who is evaluated by various princes and the court as an unparalleled genius.
This time, also because of joining the liberal arts college, I wanted to meet Ye Long.
Zhen Mi knew that she had no control over her own destiny. In this troubled world, she could not pursue the happiness she wanted, and could only become a victim of politics in the end.
However, Zizixing believed in giving women the right to choose freely... The conditions for enrolling students in the medical school fully demonstrated that in Zixing's eyes, men and women have equal rights to choose.
He is a genius and a peculiar person. He still did this kind of thing that was frowned upon by the world, and he actually implemented it in Hanoi County.
Ye Long gave women in this country who longed for freedom and did not want to become political victims a great opportunity!
Students who graduated from the medical school can still be used highly by Ye Long. Just imagine that if a woman becomes a female medical officer after graduation, Ye Long will be the first of its kind.
Although the status of a medical officer is not as important as that of a civilian or military officer, being a medical officer is something that no woman in the world dares to imagine.
Now, Ye Long has greatly improved the status of women!
The establishment of the College of Liberal Arts shocked the world.
Just like the medical school recruiting students, the liberal arts college also recruits women. Women can also enter the college to study. After graduation, they can also join the government. Excellent colleges and talented colleges can also become officials.
If Ye Long is under pressure and allows women to serve as civil servants, then in the long run, women may not be able to ascend the court.
And Zhen Mi's purpose was to go to the court.
She knew that if she wanted to control her own destiny and not be a victim of political marriage, the liberal arts college was an opportunity for her.
And the man who gave her, the woman in the world, this opportunity was Ye Zixing, the object of curiosity, yearning, and longing in her heart.
When she first saw Ye Long, she felt that Ye Long was different, but she didn't know that the young man standing in front of her was the Ye Zixing she wanted to see.
The second time she looked at Ye Long, she was attracted by his deep and bright complex gaze. The young master in front of her left an indelible impression on her heart.
Outside the county government, when she heard from Dong Yuan that the young master in front of her was Ye Zixing, Zhen Mi felt her heart beating uncontrollably.
The world's greatest genius, a prodigy, a man who gives women in the world a chance and saves them, is actually so sunny and handsome, ethereal, and has an imperial demeanor in every move he makes.
Zhen Mi realized that she could no longer forget this man.
Therefore, when Ye Long asked her to marry him, she agreed without hesitation.
With Zhi Xing's current status and fame all over the world, how many women want to marry him... Although Zhen Mi was not so eager, she had fantasized about it, because they all knew that Zhi Xing was a young prefect with outstanding appearance. , but his physical fitness seems to be a little bad.
Now, Zhen Mi's former fantasy has turned into desire.
And the desire will soon become a reality.
"Madam, please come with me to this liberal arts college for a visit!" Ye Long took a deep breath, and then took Zhen Mi off the horse.
Zhen Mi did not refuse. Although she was shy, her heart was sweet and excited.
The two of them walked hand in hand to the huge gate of the courtyard.
The two people who were far away were not noticed by the carpenters and migrant workers who were working outside the liberal arts college, until Ye Long walked in, the carpenters who were leading people to work.
The soldiers patrolling around discovered Ye Long and Zhen Mi.
But they discovered Zhen Mi first, because Zhen Mi was so beautiful. In the eyes of ordinary people, Zhen Mi, who was wearing a gorgeous white tight-fitting dress, with a graceful figure and outstanding temperament, was like a fairy from the Nine Heavens descending to earth.
Some people were stunned when they saw Zhen Mi's beauty, and had forgotten the work at hand.
"I've met Governor Ye!"
I don't know who shouted.
Those who were obsessed with Zhen Mi's beauty and had been looking stupid finally came to their senses.
Looking at the man next to Zhen Mi...
There was a moment of shock in my heart, which soon turned into admiration and excitement.
"Caomin has seen Governor Ye!"
A large number of people fell to the ground and shouted excitedly.
The surrounding patrols also saluted Ye Long with standard military salutes from a distance.
Zhen Mi is a fairy from the nine heavens, and Ye Long is a living Bodhisattva who comes down from the sky to save people in need.
When Ye Long captured Fengqiu, he never felt sorry for the people. He was even more considerate of the people and directly exempted them from taxes for a year.
And while building the liberal arts college, the newly appointed Chenliu prefect, in accordance with Ye Long's order, also adapted to the farming order in various places in Chenliu.
If the construction and opening of the College of Liberal Arts is an opportunity for the poor children and women of Chen Liuguo.
The adaptation of the farming order is a great benefit to the people of the entire Chenliu Kingdom!
There are free fields to grow, and you only need to turn in 10% of the grain every year, and there is no need to pay any taxes except for business. What common people are not excited and don't regard Ye Long as a living Bodhisattva.
"Prefect Ye, the living Bodhisattva who saves the suffering and saves the world!"
"Thank you Taishou Ye, Taishou Ye is our reborn parent!"
The people's excited praises and excited shouts came one after another.
There were already many people in front of the School of Liberal Arts.
Ye Long's appearance caused more common people, including children from poor families, to gather at the Academy of Liberal Arts.
In just a moment, the door of the School of Liberal Arts was crowded with people.
Ye Long was excited and happy in his heart. Seeing that the people loved him so much, he felt that it was all worth it to live a happy life for the people!
Even if he is an enemy of the clans of the world and the royal family of the Han Dynasty, even if he fails in the end and is shattered to pieces, it is still worth it.
At the very least, the farming order, medical school, and liberal arts college have indeed received a fierce response. Even if someone takes over the world in the future, this farming order, medical school, and liberal arts college will continue to be implemented for a long time.
But now he is more embarrassed, and that is for Zhen Mi.
He knew that he would be loved by the people, but he did not expect that the people would love him to such an extent.
He only showed up briefly and was blocked... How can he take his woman shopping from now on? It will definitely be extremely inconvenient for him to travel in the future.
Ye Long felt embarrassed, but Zhen Mi was excited!
She has never seen this scene before, a prefect! He is so loved by the people that he is called a living Bodhisattva who saves suffering and saves the world!
She could see from the eyes and faces of the people that they were all sincere.
In their eyes, Ye Long is the reborn parent of the people.
"Fellow folks! Please be quiet. I'm so embarrassed when you look like this... I just want to wander around the liberal arts college." Ye Long shouted at the top of his lungs.
But no one paid attention to him, and no one made way for him. Many people knelt on the ground and bowed to Ye Long. There were also many people gathering here, waving their arms towards Ye Long from a distance, cheering and screaming.
"Lord, go back first...it's too chaotic here." The patrol general and his men squeezed through the crowd to protect Ye Long.
"Madam, I will bring you here secretly next time... The main reason is that I am too popular. I can't visit the liberal arts college like this." Ye Long held Zhen Mi's little hand, obviously very embarrassed.
"Well, I will listen to my husband..." Zhen Mi said with a blushing face. It was obvious that she was not used to Ye Long calling her madam, let alone in front of his subordinates, which made her feel quite shy.
After all, the two of them only agreed on their relationship verbally... Her parents didn't know and didn't tell her, and the wedding wasn't held. Just her husband, the wife's shouting... made her feel ashamed.
But she didn't care in her heart, it didn't matter if the wedding was held or not, mainly because she wasn't used to it yet.
In this country, if someone takes a concubine, they may not necessarily hold a wedding and get married in a grand manner.
Unless it is a political marriage, or when a wealthy clan takes a wife and takes a concubine, the marriage will be arranged.
In most families, betrothal gifts are sent to them and they are picked up directly. Some even think about giving a betrothal gift after the two of them have lived together for a long time.
After marrying into the Ye family, Zhen Mi never thought that he would be married by the scenery, because he knew that Ye Long had a wife, a wife and a concubine, and he could only be the youngest.
And she also heard that Zhang Chunhua, a strange woman from Hanoi, stayed in the Ye family as a concubine.
Although the Zhen family is rich, it is not much richer than the Zhang family in Hanoi.
Zhang Chunhua is willing to be a small child, and she, Zhen Mi, can also be a small child.
"Fathers and fellow villagers, I am just an ordinary person. Don't blindly follow stars and worship me! It is my biggest wish, Ye Zixing, to make the people have enough food and clothing! You guys should be busy first, I will go back!" Ye Long waved to the people He waved his hand and escaped in the passage that the defenders forcibly separated.
The defenders had nothing to do. If this were Fengqiu City in the past, how could the people dare to block the prefect's road like this and prevent him from leaving.
When this happened, the defenders would have suppressed the people long ago.
But there is no such thing as the support of all people...
This was also the first time that the patrols encountered such an exciting scene.
But what Ye Long advocates is the principle of not harming the people, not disturbing the people, and not harming the common people. Therefore, even if the common people blocked Ye Long here, these patrols did not dare to suppress it with force.
Under the escort of the patrol, Ye Long finally returned to the county government after going through hardships and dangers.
Along the way, the people heard that Ye Long had appeared at the Academy of Arts, and they all gathered there. It can be seen that the desire in the hearts of the people was to see their reborn parents!
As everyone knows, Ye Long has already lost all his energy and returned to the county government.
In the county government, there is a government hall.
The two boys, Pang Zhu and Dong Yuan, actually sat opposite each other, chatting happily around a table of delicious food.
"You two, you don't even look at what's going on outside, but you still want to drink!" Ye Long laughed and cursed when he saw Pang Zhu and Dong Yuan.
He pulled Zhen Mi to the table, grabbed a piece of braised pork with his hands, and ate it with relish.
"Husband, I'll take my leave first." Zhen Mi bowed to Ye Long Yingying in a stern manner and lightly opened her lips.
In her understanding, women cannot show up when men are talking about things, so she needs to avoid suspicion.
"Madam, please sit down. There are not so many mundane etiquette here." Ye Long pulled Zhen Mi and said with a smile.
"Mrs. Sister-in-law!" Pang Zhu quickly stood up, saluted Zhen Mi with a military salute, and looked straight ahead.
He is now a qualified soldier and an outstanding military commander, so the military salute is very standard.
As for the previous rituals of bowing and clasping fists in return, he had given up long ago. Soldiers should perform military salutes!
"Mrs. Sister-in-law." Dong Yuan also quickly stood up and bowed hurriedly.
Although Ye Long doesn't care about these etiquettes, they do, especially in front of Mrs. Ye Long.
No matter what happens between them and Ye Long in private, they still have to act like subordinates in front of others.
Zhen Mi bowed slightly and nodded slightly as a return gift.
But she was surprised in her heart. She couldn't handle Pang Zhu's military salute. She didn't know what it was...
"Madam sister-in-law, my eldest brother is very casual. Just stay here and accompany me! It doesn't matter to us. Just say so, eldest brother." Pang Zhu scratched his head and said with a smile.
He was also amazed by Zhen Mi's appearance, but he was just amazed, without any thoughts.
In his opinion, a beauty like Zhen Mi should be worthy of a prodigy like his eldest brother.
It just made him confused where his elder brother found this beauty. She was even more beautiful than the Mrs. Zhang Chunhua whom he had believed in before.
"What kind of table is this..." Zhen Mi nodded, but she looked at the large round table and the strange chairs in the hall, and she was a little curious.
"Well, my eldest brother is not used to sitting on the ground or on a couch, so he asked the military advisor to order the carpenters to build it. This is called a birch round table and is made of birch. These are called birch back chairs..." Pang Zhu said.
"My lord is very interested in carpentry. My lord came up with these things. Not to mention, they are much more comfortable than sitting on your knees and having a long desk. My lord, you have to ask a carpenter to make this thing for me." One set!" Dong Yuan also said.
"A set of one hundred taels of silver, the official selling price, no one can deceive anyone." Ye Long said with a smile.
"One hundred taels... I can't afford it. I can't afford it." Dong Yuan was shocked. This set of tables and chairs was equivalent to a year's salary.
"Husband...if this thing is sold, it will definitely make a lot of money. And I think that a set of one hundred taels of silver is not expensive." Zhen Mi turned around a chair several times, her eyes appeared brilliant.
One hundred taels, for ordinary people, is a huge sum of money, but for the wealthy clans, it is worthless, just a meal. If these things are sold to clan giants, it will definitely be a huge income.
"Yes, otherwise I would implement the farming order, exempt everyone from taxes, and only collect 10% of the grain. If this goes on for a long time, no matter how much money I have, it will not be enough to squander." Ye Long shrugged.
After hearing Ye Long's words, both Zhen Mi and Dong Yuan's eyes lit up.
Especially Dong Yuan, although he felt that the farming order was very good, but exempting taxes and only taking 10% of the grain, he could only take care of the food and drink of the soldiers.
There is no source for other expenses. If this goes on, Ye Long will have no money...
But now after listening to what Ye Long said, I realized that Ye Long had already planned to make money from this chair and table.
If this thing becomes popular, it will be very profitable. After all, who wants to kneel on the ground if you can sit on it.
Ye Long actually felt pity for the people of the Three Kingdoms in these troubled times. There were not even chairs or tables in the entire country.
This is the disadvantage of seclusion. Explosives are used in the Central Plains... In these troubled times, the three countries are still sitting on the ground.
But this makes Ye Long feel strange. Even if no martial arts people come here, ordinary people will come here. There are even some small countries sandwiched between the Three Kingdoms in Troubled Times and the Southern and Northern Song Dynasties. People, don’t come here either?
Even if there is only one person, he will bring many advanced things over there.
This makes Ye Long very strange.
"Dong Yuan, don't you want this set of furniture?" Ye Long raised the corner of his mouth and looked at Dong Yuan and said with a smile.
"Yeah, but it's too expensive!! I can't afford it. I can't afford it." Dong Yuan saw the evil smile on Ye Long's lips, and a bad feeling arose in his heart.
"I'll give you a set." Ye Long said.
When he heard that Ye Long was going to give Dong Yuan a set, Pang Zhu also thought about it, "Brother, can you give me a set?"
"You, two hundred taels... Brother, I'm in a pinch, and I can't open the pot. You, a brother, don't support me." Ye Long blinked and said pitifully.
"No problem. I'll ask my father to send me 10,000 and eighty taels later. I want fifty sets and send them back to the prefecture and county to make my father feel comfortable." Pang Zhu nodded directly.
"Um...one hundred taels is one hundred taels. Lord, I also want fifty sets. I will ask my father to send the money tomorrow." Dong Yuan said quickly.
The protagonist of his feelings is trying to sell them...
No wonder I said two days ago that I would give them something new, and their relationship is this table and chair.
Zhen Mi's beautiful eyes were full of brilliance. Is this Zizixing's method?
If you have no money, you have no money. If you want to ask others for it, just ask them. The whole family is tied to your chariot. It is normal to give some money.
But he used transaction methods to let himself take the initiative. I sell things to you and you pay me. It's normal. It's not the money I asked you for... and I didn't force you to do it.
"No, no, no, I'll give it to you, but you have to do something for me." Ye Long rejected Dong Yuan directly, shaking his head.
Dong Yuan grinned and scratched his head, come on, his lord is really trying to trick him.
"My lord, tell me what you want me to do." Dong Yuan said with a grimace.
Pang Zhu looked on happily, and he could also see that his elder brother wanted to trick Dong Yuan.
"There are still hundreds of sets of this kind of furniture in stock. If you take people with you, the wealthy Fengqiu clan will visit them one after another and give them a set of furniture. This set of furniture is one hundred taels. We don't charge any money, but We have to let them pay the cost..." Ye Long said with a smile.
"Uh... Lord, how much does this cost?" Dong Yuan was surprised, thinking that his Lord was so kind? It may be good to treat the common people, but it would be better to treat the clans without cheating their money, and even give them things for as long as the cost.
"I did some calculations and found that the cost is about ninety-eight taels of silver, so I'll just charge them ninety-five taels." Ye Long said seriously.
"Pfft!" The wine Pang Zhu just drank in his mouth spurted out.
What the hell, isn't it just selling things in disguise?
A set of tables and chairs costs one hundred taels, and the cost is ninety-eight taels?
Who would believe it? How much was the rotten wood worth? It was only a dozen or so taels. He knew very well that he had brought people to find the wood.
It's said to be birch... but it's actually just ordinary wood, and its name is very resounding.
"Don't look like you've eaten shit. We know the cost of this thing, but others don't. And I priced it at 100 taels, so I gave them a 95% discount!" Ye Long said.
"Brother, what does 95% off mean?" Pang Zhu was a little confused.
"I told you that you don't understand. It's a bit complicated anyway. Dong Yuan, the future tables and chairs of the School of Liberal Arts will all be made of these. I'm giving you an opportunity. You have to know how to take advantage of it." Ye Long patted Dong Yuan's hand. Shoulder.
Dong Yuan thought about it for a while, and a strange idea appeared in his mind, "Okay, I'll do it right away." Dong Yuan pondered for a moment before speaking.
"Well, it's already noon. Go quickly after dinner. I'm waiting for your good news!" Ye Long nodded.
"No." Dong Yuan was shocked.
Dong Yuan just ate a little and couldn't wait to deliver furniture to the wealthy family's house.
Pang Zhu was confused and didn't know what opportunity his elder brother was talking about.
But he didn't ask.
Zhen Mi was also deep in thought, her eyes filled with brilliance. She seemed to have understood something, but she had not guessed Ye Long's real intention.
The three of them waited slowly in the mansion. During this period, Ye Long ordered someone to deliver some food to Yang Xue, but did not go to accompany her. After all, it was better for the two of them to be separated for a while.
In the evening, Dong Yuan looked tired, but could not hide his excitement at all, and rushed into the palace in a hurry.
Before he could speak, he drank two bottles of water.
"Lord, we've made a fortune... We've made a fortune!" Dong Yuan put down the kettle and said excitedly.
"Get rich, what's going on? I'm not asking you to give away furniture. Even if one set is given to each family, one hundred sets is only ten thousand taels. How can you get rich?" Pang Zhu curled his lips and said. Ten thousand taels is really nothing to his Pang family.
The wealth accumulated by the Pang family over several generations amounted to more than dozens of ten thousand taels.
Besides, although Fengqiu's clan has some money, it doesn't have that kind of real clan power.
Zhen Mi also looked at Dong Yuan with a surprised look.
"Tell me, how much money did you bring back?" Ye Long asked with a smile. He had long expected that Dong Yuan would gain a lot from his trip this time, and it would be delivered personally by those wealthy clans, especially when the School of Liberal Arts was about to open and recruit its first batch of students.
Dong Yuan stretched out his hand and gestured with five fingers.
"Half a million!? That's really a small fortune." Pang Zhu's face was startled, a little shocked. This trip was worth half a million taels of silver... Isn't it too impressive?
I guess five thousand sets of furniture were sold...
"No, five million taels!" Dong Yuan shook his head firmly and said with his head held high.
"Fuck, five million, Dong Yuan, which clan's house did you plunder? No, which ones did you plunder?" Pang Zhu said in disbelief with his eyes widened.
"That's not true. They were all given by those clans themselves. This family has 100,000, that family has 50,000...all around, it's five million." Dong Yuan said with a smile.
It may be difficult for a clan to give out five million silver. After all, Fengqiu's clan is not a wealthy family.
But it would be easy for all the clans to put together five million silver.
"My lord, it's amazing! It's amazing! I delivered furniture door-to-door, and I only charged ninety-five taels for each set of furniture... I told the heads of those wealthy clans that these chairs and tables are for future students of the School of Liberal Arts. , let them experience it first, but the government is in a tight situation, so if we don’t make money from them, we will just collect the principal. After all, the demand for tables and chairs in the liberal arts college is too great.”
"As a result, those wealthy clans donated money to support the government. If the tables and chairs for the liberal arts college could not be built, the liberal arts college would not be able to enroll students. Therefore, in order to quickly build the tables and chairs, these wealthy clan families spent tens of thousands of taels or more than ten thousand taels. Ten thousand, five million in one round." Ye Long continued Dong Yuan's words.
"So it's amazing. My lord must know that they will donate money." Dong Yuan gave Ye Long a thumbs up, showing his sincere admiration.
"They just donated money because they wanted a place in the liberal arts college, or one more place..." Zhen Mi hit the nail on the head, directly pointing out the key points of the clan's wealthy family.
"Brother... you are trying to sell your place in the liberal arts college in disguise. Isn't this corruption and bribery?" Pang Zhu said in surprise.
"How can you say selling? He donated money, and I gave him a place. It's normal. What is corruption and bribery? Corruption and bribery means that if this person is stupid and has no ability to pass the admission examination of the liberal arts college, you can take it. Using other people's money ended up allowing that person to join the students. This is called bribery. Corruption means taking money from the government. As for my behavior...it is clearly written in black and white. Each clan has a quota, and each family has a quota. Only two people can join the Academy of Liberal Arts to study, no matter how many people pass the examination, this is to curb the development of clan giants. However, there is a note below. All clan giants who support the Academy of Arts and make great contributions to the Academy of Arts, Add another quota... People donated money, but for this quota! It's written in black and white, even if others know it, they can't tell the reason..." Ye Long blinked and said calmly.
Zhen Mi and the others were stunned after hearing what Ye Long said. They were selling their quotas so openly! The preference really makes sense.
"Hey, these wealthy clans seem to be quite smart, but how come they are so unsmart in doing things? It is clearly written in black and white that if you make a great contribution to the School of Liberal Arts, you can get one more spot. I don't know how to do it. Contribute? Donate money... He has to be reminded." Ye Long shook his head and said helplessly.
"..."
The three of them were speechless, but thinking about it, donating money can be considered a contribution.
"Five million, use one million for the initial use of the School of Liberal Arts. You can take 100,000 of the remaining money and confiscate the rest." Ye Long said.
"No, no, no, lord, these are all donated by the clan. They are donated to you. How can I take them?" Dong Yuan quickly shook his head.
"I am the lord and you are the subordinate. If you do things well, I will reward you! Isn't it too little for you?" Ye Long rolled his eyes.
"No, no, no, actually. I didn't do anything. I just ran errands. If the master really wants a reward, then I will accept it?" Dong Yuan scratched his head and said.
How could he think that one hundred thousand silver taels was too little... His salary was only one hundred taels a month... More than a thousand taels a year, how many years would one hundred thousand taels last?
"Follow me from now on. You will be well-liked and drink spicy food. You will be granted the title of general. As long as you do things well, you will be rewarded. Okay, go back and rest. You will probably be busy tomorrow." Ye Long said with a smile. .
"Why..." Dong Yuan asked puzzledly.
"Today, the heads of the wealthy clans have experienced the beauty of tables and chairs, and they will naturally come to buy them tomorrow. After all, those wealthy clans only have one set of tables and chairs, which is not enough." Ye Long laughed and explained.
