Chapter 120 The Second Rich Generation
Chapter 120 The Second Rich Generation
Yuanman took the pastry from Yuanbao's hand and stuffed a piece of dried meat into his mouth for him to chew.
Hui Chengyuan seemed to have just remembered and continued, "Oh, by the way, Ah Li, I'll have Ling Yang arrange for the millions of taels of gold and silver in the dark room to be transported to Yuanlai Inn and placed there. They will be used to build the bridge. Please tell the shopkeeper."
Yuan Man glanced at him and said, "You are really confident. You are not afraid of having nothing to lose."
"I'm really not afraid." Hui Chengyuan looked at her with a smile. She didn't care about the money at all.
Yuan Man stuffed the ingot into his arms, stood up and went back to his room to take out the blueprints for the bridge and gave them to him. "I'll have someone transport 50,000 tons of bluestone here. You can arrange it."
"We already have bluestone for building the bridge, so it shouldn't cost that much silver. You can arrange for people to transport the rest back to Kyoto and use it to build a granary."
Hui Chengyuan nodded while holding Yuanbao, then spread the drawings on the table and started looking at them.
The blueprints for building a bridge are different from those for constructing a river. They are more sophisticated and require more capable people to lead.
"Ari, I plan to go to Xunxian Tower tonight to get some information. Do you want to come with me?"
Yuan Man raised his eyebrows, smiled and said, "I was there yesterday."
"There is no useful information in Xunxian Tower. The Lou family hides their tracks very well and strictly requires students of the Lou family not to go to Xunxian Tower, so they can't find out any news about the Lou family."
Hui Chengyuan just thought she was going there for him, so he took her hand and said, "Thank you for your hard work."
Yuan Man's eyebrows jumped, knowing that he had misunderstood, but since he had misunderstood, let him continue to misunderstand.
"You watch, I'll go to Qinghan Academy and then notify them." Yuan Man said, and took Yuan Bao back from his arms.
Hui Chengyuan wanted to go along, but he had too many things to arrange.
The matter of building the bridge, the matter of the Tang family, the matter of the murderer, the matter of the Lou family, and the matter of building the granary, all came together.
"Okay, stay safe."
Yuanman nodded, carried Yuanbao and left Yuanlai Inn, got on the carriage, and drove towards Qinghan Academy.
Qinghan Academy is located in Qingfang City, northwest of Xizhou. It was built on Qinghan Mountain and covers a vast area.
The carriage stopped at the foot of Qinghan Mountain and we had to walk up the mountain.
Yuanman got off the carriage holding Yuanbao and saw many students walking up the mountain.
It is now the Si hour, and it is long past the time for students to go to class.
When they saw Yuan Man and a woman carrying a child up the mountain, they all looked at her sideways.
A talkative student stepped forward, bowed, and asked, "Madam, are you going to Qinghan Academy?"
Yuan Man nodded and took the opportunity to ask, "Is today the day when Qinghan Academy recruits students? Why are there so many people going up the mountain at this hour?"
The student smiled and nodded, "Yes, today is the day when Qinghan Academy recruits students. Every year on the ninth day of the first lunar month, Qinghan Academy holds an examination to recruit students."
Then he pouted and said, "There weren't so many people before. Half of them would be good enough."
"Now that the Lou family has fallen, everyone is running to Qinghan Academy."
Yuan Man looked around and asked, "Are there many students from Lou Family Academy here?"
The student looked at them and said, "Hey, the one wearing green shirt is from Lou Family Academy. So is the one wearing green shirt over there. They know each other. They are so far away to avoid suspicion."
Yuan Man looked at him and asked with a smile: "I didn't expect you knew so much. Are you from Qinghan Academy?"
The student smiled awkwardly, "No, I failed the Qinghan exam twice. I will try again this year. If I fail, I will have to go home and inherit the family business."
Yuan Man looked him up and down, "I didn't realize you were such a rich second-generation."
A blue cotton coat, plain and simple.
Hidden.
"Hehe, my family just has a little surplus, not rich." The student scratched his head and laughed.
"My name is Hu Tian. Are you the wife of some gentleman in Qinghan Academy?" The student Hu Tian also looked at her.
When I saw her clothes, I knew I was wrong.
It is impossible for the wife of a gentleman to dress so well.
"Ah..." Yuanbao let out a cry and continued to chew the dried meat hard. He had been chewing on it all the way and was reluctant to put it down.
Yuan Man glanced at Yuan Bao and said with a smile: "I just went up to take a look."
Hu Tian glared at him, "Don't you think these stairs are hard to climb? It's better to go to Linxiang Temple than to play here. It's more fun there than here."
"There are too many people over there." Yuan Man said with a smile.
The two of them talked as they walked up the mountain.
Seeing that the invigilator had come out, Hu Tian said goodbye to Yuan Man and immediately ran over.
Yuan Man looked around and found a secluded place to sit down. "Yuan Yi, go in and inform the dean. I want to go into the academy without alerting everyone."
"Yes." Yuan Yi agreed and sneaked into the academy.
Soon, Dean Cen Shuying quietly walked out from the corner door. When she saw her, she immediately walked towards her and said, "Master, why are you here? Please follow me in."
With Xunxian Tower in front, he knew that he was the boss, so Yuanman was not surprised.
Yuanman held Yuanbao in his arms and followed him into the academy through the corner gate.
After entering the academy, Cen Shuying immediately bowed and said, "Master, please forgive me. Today is the day to recruit students. Otherwise, I would never let you enter through the corner gate."
"Nothing, let's go inside and talk." Yuan Man walked past him and walked inside along the corridor.
Cen Shuying told her a lot about the academy along the way, but Yuanman just listened quietly without expressing his own opinion.
She didn't understand the affairs of the academy, so why should she interfere?
"By the way, student Hu Tian, do you know?"
Cen Shuying nodded, "Students know something."
"He took the Qinghan Academy exam twice and failed both times. It wasn't because his writing skills weren't good enough, but because his ideas were too unconventional and fanciful."
Yuan Man smiled and said, "It's good to be imaginative."
"I recommend him to the academy, is that okay?"
Cen Shuying was stunned for a moment, "Of course it is feasible, but he is really difficult to lead."
Yuan Man knew from chatting with Hu Tian all the way that Hu Tian was a man of many ideas and a talented person.
However, if he wanted to take the imperial examination, if he did not correct some of his scattered thoughts during the examination, he would probably be rejected like Qinghan Academy.
"Leave it to Yuan Qin."
Cen Shuying's mouth twitched, "Then the academy will probably be very lively in the future."
Yuan Man looked at him and raised an eyebrow, "What do you mean?"
"Yuan Qin is a very strict and rule-abiding person. If Hu Tian were to be under his command, there would be chaos every day." Cen Shuying felt a headache just thinking of that scene.
Yuan Man thought for a moment and said, "I'll meet Hu Tian later and tell him about the situation."
"Oh, I have something else to do."
Cen Shuying immediately said, "Master, please give me your orders."
"The Lou family has fallen, and the students who graduated from the Lou family academy now have nowhere to go and are being used by others to cause trouble."
"I will send a letter of recommendation and ask his students to take the entrance exam with their household registration. You don't have to be lenient or strict. Just set the questions according to the Qinghan Academy's admission standards."
"But the only thing you need to be careful about is not to let any human thoughts get in."
Cen Shuying nodded, "If you are determined to hide, it won't be difficult to sneak into the academy."
"Don't worry, those who can receive the recommendation letters are those who have been investigated and have little relationship with the Lou family. You just need to be careful not to let anyone take the blame appear." Yuan Man said as he handed the ingot to Yuan Yi.
