Compulsory education in ancient times

Chapter 144 144

Before the military academy was completed, the list of the academy was almost determined.There are more than 100 students sent by the aristocratic family alone.However, most of them are direct descendants of offshoots or concubines of the same family.The main family's sons are generally trained towards courtiers, and few are willing to send them to this military academy with an uncertain future.

"The six aristocratic families who were removed from the position of minister this time all sent their family members here, but except for the Murong family who is not in the capital, there are two other families that have not moved." Tao Jianran looked at the list of students and turned to face him. Qi Bohan said, "Guess which two are they?"

"Xi family and Li family." Qi Bohan replied without thinking.

Tao Jianran was a little surprised: "How do you know?! Have you read this list?"

"The Xi family's verdict has not been handed down for so long. They have already guessed that I plan to deal with them, so they are naturally unwilling to waste the money. The Li family..." Qi Bohan's eyes flashed with murderous intent, "The ancestors of the Li family fought with their ancestors Jiangshan, now the eldest son of the head of the Li family has a hundred thousand soldiers guarding the northwest, and he never has to sell the royal family's face."

The border between the Rui Dynasty and the Xiongnu is in the northeast, while the northwest is different from the northeast. There are more than a dozen small tribes living in the northwest. Unless those small tribes can work together to attack together, they will not be the opponent of the Rui Dynasty.Therefore, the Li family is much more relaxed than Wang Junhao with the same [-] soldiers in hand.

When Tao Jianran heard the words, he immediately remembered that old man Sikong among the three princes, wasn't his surname Li!The old man usually seemed to have no opinion in the court, and he often followed the big army to oppose Qi Bohan's decision.But there is also one thing that is different from others, that is, after the other aristocratic families were suppressed and honest, this Li Sikong still firmly stood in the position of hating Qi Bohan.He also took a few ministers who followed his faction to fight together.

Tao Jianran knew that the minions of the Li family were Qi Bohan's next target.When the Li family's minions are pulled out, it will be the time for the Li family to be destroyed.

Tao Jianran did not continue to discuss the topic of the Li family with Qi Bohan, but continued to write the proposal for the military academy on paper.What he can help Qi Bohan now is to try his best to cultivate more talents for Qi Bohan to use, so that Qi Bohan can become a real emperor through the ages!

Tao Jianran planned to recruit a group of civilian students to fight against the children of the aristocratic family, so naturally he would recruit about 100 people.For civilians, this military academy naturally can no longer charge tuition fees, otherwise there must be few ordinary people who can afford this trumpet, so they promised the treatment of the last rank of soldiers, and it is also considered as a quota for military service.

You don't have to go to the battlefield to serve in the military. Although you are only treated as a low-ranking soldier, the parents who love their children are overwhelmed by the [-] quotas, and they have decided on candidates in just half a month!

The next thing is much simpler, ten instructors are directly transferred from the military academy in Yuezhou Prefecture, and they can go to class directly!

Tao Jianran finished sorting out the affairs of the military academy, and when he looked up, he saw Qi Bohan frowning and staring at a memorial.

"What's the matter?" Tao Jianran leaned over, lying on Qi Bohan's back, making the two of them stick tightly together.Looking down at the memorial in Qi Bohan's hand, he found that it was the daily memorial of the Ministry of Household Affairs calling for poverty.

In the past, [-]% of the food for the frontier army was self-sufficient.However, there was a severe drought last year, and the impact on the border was also very serious, so they could only rely on the imperial court to allocate military salaries.The frontier was broken through twice by the Huns, and there were only about [-] soldiers left, and the food needed was not too much, but now Qi Bohan is going to provide Wang Junhao with [-] troops. But a big head!

Tao Jianran directly ignored the sentences about crying for poverty, calculated the figures mentioned in the memorial, and couldn't help wondering: "Why is the cost of escorting the military pay so high?" It was almost worth the value of the military pay itself!But the capital is not far from the border, only half the distance from Ning'an to the capital!

When Qi Bohan heard the words, he was rarely asked.Why so high?If Tao Jianran hadn't mentioned it, Qi Bohan would not have felt that the cost was high, because this figure has basically been the same throughout history.He frowned mainly because the necessary expenditure was too great, and the current treasury simply couldn't support it.

Qi Bohan thought for a long time before answering Tao Jianran's question: "The official road is too narrow, and the speed of the ox cart is too slow."

The official road is too narrow, and it can only accommodate two ox carts in parallel at a time, and there are not many materials that can be loaded.Moreover, the road condition on the official road is not good. Sometimes after it is windy and rainy, you have to clean up the stones and branches that have been blown on the road while walking, otherwise there is a danger of overturning the car.

The delivery speed is too slow, and it usually takes several months to go back and forth. The food that has just been delivered may have been consumed by the time the convoy returns to the capital. If you want to send it once, the cost must be huge.

After listening to Qi Bohan's explanation, Tao Jianran remembered the wise saying: If you want to get rich, build roads first.Moreover, the cement has been fiddled with, and it would be a pity for the people not to use it for road construction!

Open source is not something that can be achieved in a short period of time, but after the road is repaired, it will definitely save money, and road construction is a very profitable thing!

Otherwise, even if the Liuli Pavilion and the Celestial Silk can make a lot of money for Qi Bohan's private treasury, it is impossible to fill the emptiness of the national treasury.Besides, why use Qi Bohan's private money to fill the treasury!Disaster relief in the north is a last resort. If it goes on for a long time, it may raise the hearts of some white-eyed wolves!

Tao Jianran rolled his eyes, and thought of the idea of ​​a white wolf with empty gloves.So the next day, the whole capital knew that Liuli Pavilion's auction on June [-] would be auctioning a few items bestowed by the emperor.

It was also at this time that everyone suddenly realized that Liuli Pavilion was opened by Qi Bohan!

After learning that the Liuli Pavilion is actually run by the Guo family and can take [-]% of the profits, other aristocratic families in the capital are extremely jealous.

Everyone can see how profitable Liuli Pavilion is. Why can such a big piece of cake be eaten by a native of the country, the Xie family? !

Some people wanted to talk to Qi Bohan about life, and some thought they had seen the truth: Qi Bohan didn't want to suppress the family at all, he just wanted to suppress the disobedient family!Soon, another news came out, which further confirmed the thoughts of these people.

Sky silk is actually Qi Bohan's industry!Just because the Guo family gave Qi Bohan a little convenience back then, he let the Guo family swallow such a big pie!Although Tiancan Silk can only be sold for a few months a year, the profit is only a little lower than that of Liuli Pavilion!

A family of merchants who are not even counted as aristocratic family can get so many benefits, who knows if Qi Bohan will have more good things in his hands?All of a sudden, those aristocratic families who were against Qi Bohan at the beginning and jumped up and down were already so regretful that their intestines were green.The sky is big and the earth is big, how can there be so much money to earn? !

Especially the Li family.Others didn't openly turn against Qi Bohan, and they could still have the cheek to try to build a relationship with Qi Bohan, but their family and Qi Bohan have already torn their skins, and with the fact that they have been arrogant for so many years, Li Sikong is not willing to bow his head to Qi Bohan!

People in the capital were fluctuating, and the court began to argue endlessly.

With a dark face, Qi Bohan looked at the censor who was kneeling on his highness who was about to grab the ground with his head every minute, his eyes were full of murderous intent.

The censor seemed not to be aware of the danger, and he still said plausibly: "Your Majesty! How can the imperial gift be auctioned off? It is really detrimental to the emperor's prestige. Please take it back!"

"Hmph, the censor is so considerate of the emperor, why not donate all his wealth to pay for the army!" Tao Yanran snorted coldly, "Now the treasury is empty, the north needs food until the autumn harvest, and the border needs a lot of military pay. Since the censor Your Excellency is so good for the country and the people, so don’t just talk about it!"

"You! Master Tao, as a minister of the Ministry of Rites, don't you know the etiquette and the family precepts of your ancestors!" The censor didn't dare to scold Qi Bohan directly, but he still had the confidence to be a mere minister.However, as everyone knows, there is still a way out for Qi Bohan, and Tao Yanran, hehe...

Qi Bohan's face became more and more gloomy, and Tao Jianran was also very indignant: "What etiquette tells you to waste the lives of tens of thousands of people, and also to maintain that illusory majesty? Tell me, which book, which page, which article!?"

The censor was left speechless by the question, and in the end he could only blush and say, "You are making too much sense!"

"How can I be so unreasonable? Which sentence I said is wrong? As a censor, you don't supervise the officials, and you don't plead for the people. Your Majesty is diligent in government and loves the people. In your mouth, it becomes a disregard for etiquette. How can you be so intelligent? Into the censor?!" Tao Jianran was so pissed off that he had been in the court for the past few months, and he had watched these censors begrudgingly, but he had never seen them do a single thing!

It is common for two ministers to quarrel in the court, but today is the first time Tao Jianran speaks so loudly, and it can't help but attract people's attention.There are also well-informed people who know that Tao Jianran wrote the two very aggressive announcements from Ning'an before, and only now associate this very mild-looking young man with those two arrogant announcements.

That censor was blushed by Tao Yanran's words, and was about to refute, but Qi Bohan didn't allow this evil pen to bully his wife anymore: "Enough, I've made up my mind. Zhang Yushi, if you don't know how to be this censor I can change your position for you."

Hearing this, Zhang Yushi wanted to refute, but he was entrusted by Li Sikong to dissuade him, so he was not willing to lose his official position for this, so he just stepped back.

Seeing this, Qi Bohan sneered even more in his heart.If this censor continues to fight, he will still respect him for his strength of character, but if this kind of bullying guy stays in the censor, sooner or later he will become the enemy's muzzle and cannot be kept.

The auction of the imperial gift was decided in this way, and Tao Jianran's deeds of the imperial censor were also spread, and many colleagues looked at him with a lot of changes.

The most obvious one is the group of bad students in his Ministry of Rites. They used to please him just to get more points so that they could get promoted.Now I have a little more respect for him, and I will come to ask him for instructions when encountering some more important matters.
