Bianliang City has experienced a shock in labor shortage, and the sequelae still exists.

"Look at that, he is the shopkeeper and comes out to deliver the goods by himself."

"And that...that's the madam Fenfen, it's very beautiful..."

"Goodbye Mom."

In front of a brothel, a woman bowed down. On the opposite side, a plump woman snorted coldly: "Everyone wants to go home to farm, but what are you going home to do? Can your parents still let you go to the ground to farm?"

The woman stood up and said, "My father asked someone to send a message saying that the family is not short of money and food to raise me now. I have suffered so many years. I will find someone to marry..."

The plump woman should not turn her face, "You go, just don't regret it. I won't accept it when I come back."

"Yes, thank you for your care over the past few years, so I'll go now."

The woman carried a bag on her back and a young man came next to her and said, "Sister, hurry up, we will be home tomorrow."

"Okay." The woman reached out and brushed away the things on the young man's shoulders, and said with tears in her eyes: "Go home."

The plump woman spat, then rubbed her eyes silently, and when she looked up, she saw a man approaching her, and she immediately laughed: "Zhang Yanei is here... Please come in quickly."

The man looked at her and raised his eyebrows and said, "Who is receiving someone?"

The plump woman gritted her teeth and said, "I was very good at all in the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting back then, but I didn't come out in recent years. Forget it, from today on, I will start..."

Su Shi sighed and said, "Anbei, this madam is quite famous. In the past, many people wanted to have a love affair... but unfortunately they couldn't. Now that you have made the golden fat pill, there are fewer people in Bianliang, and the opportunity has come out..."

“What opportunity?”

Chen An felt that Su Shi's eyes were glowing.

"Fenfen..."

Su Shi sorted out his clothes, showed his most free and easy smile, and waved.

The plump woman saw that it was him, and her eyes shining, "Su Xianggong..."

Well!

Su Shi lamely walked over and clasped his hands with the woman, as if he had been separated for many years...

"Brother and sister!"

Chen An shook his head and went all the way to the palace.

Later, Su Shi rode a horse and chased after him.

"Anbei, remember to ask where someone is going!"

"good."

Su Shi was still resting. Chen An felt that this guy could still remember his future at this moment.

"I've seen the Attendant."

The eunuch who welcomed him into the palace was obviously more respectful and his eyes were incorrect.

What does this mean?

Chen An felt that this look made people feel a little scared.

The eunuch led the way in front, looking back at Chen An from time to time, and his appearance of wanting to speak but stopping made people very confused.

"What's wrong?"

Chen An finally couldn't help asking, and the eunuch slowed down, "You made a golden fat pill, but I regretted it to death."

“Why?”

Chen An didn't understand this causal relationship and felt that everyone in the palace really had problems.

The eunuch said in confusion: "I entered the palace because I didn't have enough food at home. If I had Jin Fei Dan at that time, I would have already married and had children."

It's actually for this?

Chen An didn't know whether to be happy or depressed, but when he saw Zhao Shu, the emperor was unhappy.

What does this mean?

Chen An thinks that everyone today has problems.

Han Qi's forehead seemed to be swollen, and he looked very embarrassed.

"I was blocked from my husband's house before, and those people shouted and asked me to agree to expand the Imperial College. How could I be arbitrary? I just made excuses and finally got punched by an old woman..."

The dignified prime minister was beaten up by an old woman. It’s embarrassing to tell this!

Zeng Gongliang looked at it and was not much better: "My husband's family was also surrounded. Those people said that if they did not agree to the expansion of the Imperial College, they would come to the surround every day, and the inspectors could not stop them. The old women and men went to their feet, their eyes turned pale, and even I was frightened."

Tsk tsk!

This is a slap in the car!

If you Zeng Gongliang agree or not, if you don’t agree, someone will fall in front of you every day.

Ouyang Xiu stroked the long hair that fell in his ears and said with a reserved attitude: "I am walking in the back door today. The military strategy is full of surprises. If you attack them unpreparedly, you must learn and apply them... But why are those people so crazy?"

Han Qi covered the bag on his head and said annoyedly: "You have to ask Chen An about this."

All three prime ministers were in trouble, and this was difficult to deal with.

Chen An smiled dryly and said, "That's right, the people want their children to enter the Imperial Academy, but the Imperial Academy is that big, and Guo Qian and the officials dare not proficient in this matter..."

"So he encouraged the people to find trouble for the prime minister?"

Zhao Shu said with some laughter and cry: "I know this. How much money and food does the Taixue do... need?"

"not much."

Chen An was happy in his heart, and just a little calculation came to the answer: "Your Majesty, the Imperial Academy originally had an abandoned school building, which can be used after renovation. Secondly, it doesn't cost much to build a new school building..."

"Why doesn't it cost much?"

Han Qi said: "I remember what you said last time that a hundred years of culture is best for school buildings. It is best to use bricks and stones, but glutinous rice and other things are used to bond bricks and stones, which is quite expensive."

Bricks are relatively simple to manufacture, but the price of adhesives is not low. Just a glutinous rice is a headache.

A brick is not eye-catching, what about a piece? What about countless? How much adhesive is needed?

"The official is looking for someone to raise funds!"

Chen An was not short of money, but he knew that he should avoid things, which made Zhao Shu very satisfied.

If the expansion of the Imperial Academy costs Chen An’s money, then whose is the Imperial Academy?

Han Qi asked, "Who are you looking for to raise funds? The people?"

Zeng Gongliang coughed dryly and said, "The people have donated money for the soldiers who died in battle. I'm afraid it's not good to come again."

Chen An said in surprise: "Of course it's not the people."

"Who else?"

"Businessman!"

Chen An looked very frightened, but Han Qi said in confusion: "Businessman...who?"

Zeng Gongliang felt that Chen An was not doing well: "Anbei! The merchants value profit. If they were involved in the Imperial Academy, there would be many troubles in the future."

Even Zhao Shu nodded in agreement with this, which shows that although the Song Dynasty valued business, it was unwilling to let them get involved in the school.

Chen An felt that was the same, but he still said seriously: "It's not a businessman from the Song Dynasty."

Well!

Han Qi wanted to wave his hand, but he was interrupted immediately, and a click sound came from his arm. He moved his arm nervously. Fortunately, it was fine, and then he said with lingering fear: "You are going to blackmail those foreign merchants again?"

Zeng Gongliang pointed at Fang Xing with a confused look on his face: "You are doing this too much."

The merchants just blackmailed Chen An a while ago, in order to congratulate Zhao Shu and his son in the palace, and all the money was given to Futianyuan.

Not long after, you are going to attack them again?

"Ahem!"

Zhao Shu coughed dryly, ending the topic, and then discussing the matter.

When the meeting was over, Ouyang Xiu and Shen An walked together.

"What do those people want to learn when the Imperial Academy is expanded?"

Ouyang Xiu asked casually, but Han Qi and Zeng Gongliang who were walking in front slowed down.

As old ghosts who have been in the past for many years, what has never been seen before? What extortion has nothing to do with them. What they are concerned about is the direction of the future of the Taixue school.

Chen An said honestly: "Of course I went for the imperial examination."

Ouyang Xiu said with a smile: "I'm going to the imperial examination, but there are many people who go to the miscellaneous studies, right? By the way, you took down Fanlou yesterday and shocked Bianliang. Later, those people learned that you were for the students who focused on miscellaneous studies, and some people said they wanted to send their children to your door..."

Zeng Gongliang, who was ahead, turned around and said, "Taixue is the Taixue, miscellaneous learning... If miscellaneous learning becomes the mainstream, no one will go there in the future."

Ouyang Xiu smiled and said, "The Imperial Academy is the national study, and you cannot force students to learn anything else."

Chen An smiled and said, "Of course not. If it is inappropriate, I will immediately withdraw from the Imperial Academy."
