Chapter 337: Political Economy
Time passed by like a flash of time. In a flash, more than a month had passed since Gao Pian's death. Gao Pian's death was definitely a major event that shocked the world. Whether it was his likes him or hates him, whether it was his friend or his enemy, he showed enough sorrow for this person's sudden death. From this point of view, he was undoubtedly extremely successful.
Li Ze expressed his envy of this.
It is enough to live in this life that your enemies respect you.
The court also gave Gao Pian enough sorrow and honored him, posthumously named him the Prince of Jinyuan, Yinguang Qingzilu Dafu, and his wife was the first-rank imperial wife, which was also considered to have reached the peak of a minister.
However, Li Ze, who is in a martial arts world, now only has an enemy. Of course, it is even more impossible to get the respect of the enemy. To reach the level of Gao Pian, it requires not only great martial arts and power, but also the accumulation of time.
In Wuyi in August, it is the hottest season. The hot sun shines in the sky. In addition to the cicadas on the trees still yelling loudly, everything is almost silent. The same is true in Wuwei Academy. After lunch, the students have an hour to rest and are sleeping at their desks in the school at this time.
The reason why it is in the school rather than in the dormitory is that the Jiezhenfu provides Wuwei Academy with a large amount of ice every day. The heat outside is hard to bear, but the school is cool and pleasant.
Chapter Ching is actually very objectionable to such behavior.
Not only did he think he was extravagant in his opinion, but also the three meals a day, including midnight snacks provided by Li Ze to the students and professors of the school.
In the chapter's opinion, two edibles a day are serious. This is actually the mainstream at this time. Even rich families basically maintain the eating habit of two edibles a day.
But Li Ze made it change, claiming that he would give students a better body and ensure that they have sufficient nutrition and a great body to do things for the people in the future. Three meals a day are necessary. As for midnight snacks, he saw that the students stay up late to study hard for their studies, so naturally they would need to add another meal.
As for providing ice cubes, after Li Ze sent someone who specialized in ice making to Zhang Hui to perform how to make ice and explain the cost of making ice to him, Zhang Hui also closed his mouth.
As for people, they always hope to live a more comfortable life, even if it’s a chapter to reply! It’s better to recite articles with sweat and faces on hot days than to shake their heads in the cool breeze to savor classics. Since it’s not much, he feels relieved.
Of course, those students who were more satisfied with Li Ze were the students of those academy. Many of them were poor students who had worked hard in the Imperial College in Chang'an. In Chang'an, they were probably the least popular group of people, but when they arrived in Wuyi, they suddenly became the most noble group. They were walking on Wuyi Street and saw their exclusive literati clothes from Wuwei Academy. Whether they were ordinary people or strong soldiers, they would respectfully bow and give in to them. This gave them great satisfaction.
Li Ze's series of special preferential treatments for them made them even more grateful. The soldier died for his confidant. The commander valued them so much, how could they not give up their own efforts!
Letters flew to all parts of the world through the Yixingtang channel. These students began to call their friends to come to Wuyi, and this was exactly what Li Ze hoped.
Reputation is cultivated so slowly.
As for many scholars who expressed their hope to move their families to Wuyi, Li Ze praised them even more and specially allocated funds for this. As long as they were willing to come, Wuyijie Town would pay the travel expenses along the way. When they arrived in Wuyi, they would prepare some land and acres for them as the foundation for their family.
Li Ze estimated that this wave of immigration to Wuyi would reach its peak before the New Year, and his reputation of Li Ze's emphasis on culture and education will spread throughout the Tang Dynasty during this time.
Through Li Ze's series of actions, Zhang Hui also understood Li Ze's intentions, so he stopped talking about Li Ze's expenses on the scholars.
Li Ze came to Wuwei Academy after lunch. After handling some necessary official duties in the morning, every ten days, he would choose one day to come to Wuwei for half a day of classes. He put in so much effort at Wuwei Academy, so naturally, he wanted these students to remember his goodness firmly. But if he did not meet them for a long time, this kind of favorability would inevitably be discounted. Therefore, it is very necessary to often appear in the academy and always maintain a glorious image in front of the scholars.
Of course, Li Ze did not fool him at random when he came to class, as that would backfire and would damage his image. For this reason, he also wrote a new course specifically, and the name of the course was called Political Economy.
The course of political economy is a hard-working subject that Li Ze once gave. It turned out that he helped him accurately grasp the world situation and make a lot of money from a series of hot topics. He never expected that now, he used this subject to Wuwei Academy.
Of course, he needed to do a lot of adaptations to fit the current situation.
This is not particularly difficult for him.
Zhang Hui was undeniable about Li Ze's coming to Wuwei Academy to attend classes. Li Ze is the Grand Marshal and the owner of this land. Zhang Hui couldn't stop him from doing anything, but deep down, he had a very high skepticism about Li Ze's level. Although this guy was born in a wealthy family, he was a wild wilderness since childhood and was self-taught. Gongsun Changming, who was known as his half-teacher and half-friend, was useless except for conspiracy and tricks, and Zhang Hui looked down on him.
He originally thought that Li Ze was going to work as a professor part-time, but it was just for political purposes and wanted to become the teacher of these academy students. After all, these academy students would be sent by Li Ze to local officials after graduation.
So when Li Ze first went to Wuwei Academy to attend class, he only prepared to listen politely, which was to give this handsome man a face.
For him, there are really too many things to do now. He is not only the chief of Wuwei Academy, but also the chief secretary of Wuwei Jie Town and the de facto first aide. Many general trend structures that Li Ze is not good at now need him to complete them bit by bit. Before, Li Ze was almost blank in this regard.
However, beyond Zhang Hui's expectations, he couldn't stop in the first class. He was sitting in the last row with empty hands and just wanted to come and bet the formation, but at the end, he snatched a student's pen, ink, paper and inkstone without hesitation and took notes seriously.
In the first class, although Li Ze only talked about a general outline and involved some of the structures, for ordinary students, there was only a vague concept and felt that this course seemed very awesome, for people like Zhanghui, they suddenly realized the strength of this course.
The theories Li Ze expounded on political economy have not been exposed to in his past research, but he has only tried it briefly. He did not go straight to the key points like Li Ze. Those vague thoughts in the past seemed to have suddenly attracted him in Li Ze's classroom.
For a full half a day, the chapters were filled with dozens of pages of notes, and after Li Ze finished the explanation of the general outline, he was still unsatisfied. He could only say that Li Ze's achievements in this area were given by God.
From then on, as long as Li Ze came to class, he would definitely be the first to be present and always sit in the front. When he was a good student with rules and discipline, the mountain leader had such an attitude, other students also realized the purpose of this course. You should know that these people know that chapters are always above the top in academics.
I studied hard in class, debated with Li Ze after class, and discussed some of the issues he believed. This became something that I enjoyed during this period of time.
Li Ze was also quite satisfied with this situation, because during the repeated debates with the chapter, he was constantly revising the course he offered to make it more suitable for the current era.
Now, although this course has only been open for two months and Li Ze has only taught six or seven times, it has changed from a thin booklet to a thick book, and has also become a book that every student in the college must copy.
This course is of no use for ordinary people, but it is of great use for those who want to be officials.
Sitting in a cool room with Zhang Hui, drinking sweet and sour iced plum soup, Li Ze was preparing for the afternoon class while looking at the hot sun outside the window, four students who were punishing with books on their heads and horses. Under the four people, sweat stains had already wet a large area of the ground. The wet clothes were pressed against their bodies, which outlined the strong muscles of the four people.
This is the characteristic of Wuwei Academy students. Being weak is simply a shame in Wuwei Academy. Being able to write articles with your pen and wield a knife in battle is the standard configuration for Wuwei Academy students.
Li Ze likes this state very much.
"What are these four guys doing? Is it so angry?" Li Ze asked with a smile.
"After receiving the allowance for this month yesterday, four bastards actually climbed over the wall and went out to the brothel in the middle of the night. Not only did they stay there overnight, but they were also drunk. If it weren't for returning to Maowei this morning, the academy wouldn't know. How can you ward off those who are later without severe punishment?" Zhang Hui was heartbroken: "After just a few days of good days, I'll go to find the wind, flowers, snow and moon, which is really hateful."
Li Ze laughed loudly. With the increasing development of Wuyi, the brothels in Wuyi City are also expanding rapidly, and the grade is getting higher and higher. Li Ze is also irresistible for this ancient industry. Follow it, you can pay taxes on time anyway.
"Wuwei Academy is very cautious. It is quite capable of these four guys being able to escape unimpededly." Li Ze shook his head and said, "It's considered a talent."
