"Yamachō, don't worry. We, the Qiang people, won't hurt the Qiang people!"
Yanhuang College, Yamachō's office.
After hearing Li Zexuan's worries, Ke Shiqing quickly explained.
"A few years ago, I was admitted to the Imperial College. This caused quite a stir in the Qiang tribe in Sichuan. Ever since the imperial court started the imperial examinations and established the Imperial College, no one in the Qiang tribe has ever been admitted to the Imperial College! Therefore, if I can persuade them and explain to Chief Qiao Feng why the Lan family's volcano can attract soldiers, they will not stop you from sending people to mine! "
Li Zexuan couldn't help but smile. "So, Shiqing, you have been the pride of your tribe since you were young! Not bad, not bad! Since you took the initiative to volunteer today, I, as the Yamachō, have no reason to refuse. However, this is an important matter. I still need to get your parents' approval. Otherwise, you still can't go to Sichuan! "
Ke Shiqing cupped his hands and said, "Of course. Yamachō, don't worry. I will definitely be able to persuade my parents!"
Li Zexuan nodded and said, "In the morning assembly today, His Majesty has already changed the King of Han to the King of Shu and appointed him as the Governor of Yizhou. I believe you can also see His Majesty's determination to govern Shu! If you can mediate and let the Qiang people and the imperial court turn weapons of war into gifts of jade and silk, it will be a good thing!
However, just yesterday, His Majesty has already ordered the Governor of Yizhou to mediate with the Qiang people. If you want to go to Sichuan, you have to leave as soon as possible. When the time comes, I will send a letter to the Governor of Yizhou to inform him! "
Ke Shiqing's eyes lit up and said, "Yamachō, are you talking about Governor Gao?"
Li Zexuan nodded and said, "Yes! It is Governor Gao. Shiqing, do you know him? "
Ke Shiqing nodded excitedly and said, "Although I have never met him, Shiqing has heard of Governor Gao's name! In the past few years, I have been studying in Chang 'an and have not returned to Shu County. However, I have been paying attention to the news there!
The people of Shu County were frivolous. They were afraid of ghosts and hated the sick. Most of them did not personally serve their sick parents. Instead, they used sticks to pick up food and passed it to them from afar. It was said that after Chief Gao took office, due to his influence, the customs and customs were changed.
Furthermore, Elder Gao had also dug a new canal outside of the Wen River that Li Bing had dredged during the Qin Dynasty, allowing the people of the Shu Lands to benefit greatly. In addition, he also used his free time to organize poetry and prose meetings. He also let the Confucian scholars discuss the classics of Confucianism and encouraged the young students. As a result, the study style in Sichuan gradually became stronger!
Today, Elder Gao is widely respected by the people in the Shu Lands. This time, with him stepping forward to mediate, I'm sure Leader Qiao Feng won't not give him face. So, it seems like there's no need to go to the Shu Lands before studying! "
At the end, Ke Shiqing scratched his head a little embarrassedly. After all, he had skipped class to come to Li Zexuan and volunteered. But now, he realized that there was no need for him to go. No matter how he looked at it, it was a little suspicious of "fishing in troubled waters"!
Li Zexuan smiled and did not blame him. After a moment of silence, he asked in a deep voice, "Shiqing, if you were to pass the imperial examinations in the future, what would you like to do the most? Would you like to live high in the imperial court and accompany the emperor, or would you like to be an official and benefit the people? "
Ke Shiqing frowned and thought seriously for a long time before replying, "Yamachō. If I could pass the imperial examinations, I would like to return to Shu County and become an official! Shu County is the place where I grew up. It's a beautiful place, but the people there live a poor life. Most of them have never left the Shu Lands in their lives, so naturally, they don't know how wonderful the world outside the Shu Lands is!
I want to bring the people of the Shu Lands to live a good life. I want the Shu Lands to be no longer isolated. I hope that the good things in Chang 'an City can also be found in the Shu Lands, such as the carriages, bicycles, and the Celestial Mirror of Wonders Pavilion. Although these things have been sold to all the states and counties in the world, I believe that these things are rare in the Shu Lands now!
As the people of the Tang Empire, I think that the people of the Shu Lands are no different from the people of Chang 'an. They should also live a good life and use the advanced engineering products created by Yamachō! If there's a chance, I will definitely benefit the people of my hometown in the future! "
Li Zexuan stood up and patted Ke Shiqing's shoulder. He laughed and said, "Haha! Good! The most important thing is to not forget your roots. Shiqing, I'm very pleased that you have such thoughts! The Shu Lands have been isolated for many years. This is true. This time, I'm mining the vanadium mine in Feng Province. I've thought of using the mine to help the people in the surrounding areas become rich! When the time comes, I'll pay for them to build roads and bridges. If they're willing to help, they'll be able to get a good salary!
So, if your parents agree, I still hope that you can make a trip to Shu Lands! As a local, you should know the customs and customs of the people there the best. If you can get the tribal power there to be understood, I can even let the people of the Yan Huang Chamber of Commerce open a shop there and bring all the fine goods from Chang 'an City over! This way, the communication between the Shu Lands and the Central Plains will become more frequent, and the lives of the people will become better! "
"What? Yamachō, are you serious? "
Ke Shiqing was pleasantly surprised.
If that was the case, then more than half of his dreams had been realized by Li Zexuan!
Li Zexuan smiled and said, "A gentleman's promise is worth a thousand gold. What I said, of course, is true!"
"That's great! That's great! Thank you, Yamachō! I'll go back and discuss with my parents. Tomorrow, I'll leave for the Shu Lands. When the time comes, I'll definitely pass on Yamachō's goodwill to Chief Qiao Feng. I'm sure he won't refuse! "
Ke Shiqing was extremely excited as he cupped his hands towards Li Zexuan. Then, he suddenly thought of something and his face darkened. He said, "Uh! I don't seem to be able to leave for Shu Lands recently! Previously, the headmaster said that for the next four weeks, there will be a secret exam every Friday. Those who fail four times will be expelled from the academy. No matter what, the students have to wait until the exam ends this Friday before they can leave! "
Li Zexuan heard this and secretly praised this child's meticulousness. He thought for a while and asked, "Shiqing, how's your memorization of the 'Secret Exam' from the school? If I let you take the exam now, are you confident? "
Ke Shiqing frowned and thought for a moment. He gritted his teeth and cupped his hands. "Return to Yamachō, I'm confident!"
Li Zexuan smiled and said, "That's good! There's still some time before school ends. You can start the exam now. I'll grade your exam tonight. If you pass, you can go home tomorrow and persuade your parents. If you don't pass, then you don't have to go to Shu Lands this time! "
Although he wanted Ke Shiqing to go back and discuss with his parents tonight, he had emphasized the importance of confidentiality in front of all the teachers and students of the school last week. As the one who set the rules, how could he open the back door for Ke Shiqing at this time?
Ke Shiqing nodded heavily and said, "Yes! Yamachō! "
Li Zexuan turned around and took out a sealed document from the drawer. After opening it, he took out a test paper. Then, he took a pencil from the pen holder on the table and handed it to Ke Shiqing. He said, "Find a place in this office and start the exam! The exam will last for an hour! "
He had already prepared the exam papers for the academy's confidentiality exam. He even prepared four sets. It just so happened that there was one set per week. Ke Shiqing should be the first person other than him to see the exam papers!
Ke Shiqing took the test paper and nodded. "Okay, Yamachō!"
… … …
"Husband, aren't you going to sleep yet?"
After dinner, Li Zexuan went straight to the study. Han Yuxi glanced into the study when she passed by and asked.
"En! Wife, you go to sleep first. I'll go to sleep after I finish grading this exam! "
Li Zexuan looked up and said softly.
This exam paper was naturally the confidential exam paper that Ke Shiqing had just finished in the afternoon!
"En! Then husband, don't stay up too late! "
Han Yuxi nodded and went upstairs to sleep!
Li Zexuan's gaze returned to the exam paper. He gently stroked the red pen on every part of the exam paper. Fill in the blanks, multiple choice questions, decision questions, short answer questions. He read ten lines at a glance and finished grading in about ten minutes.
"Hehe! 99 points! Not bad, not bad! This Ke Shiqing's foundation is really good. No wonder before I went to the Imperial College, he was the best in the School of Mathematics. He is a good seedling! "
Looking at the bright red "99 points" on the exam paper, Li Zexuan praised.
In this way, Ke Shiqing could leave the academy tomorrow and go home to discuss the trip to Sichuan with his parents!
In fact, letting Ke Shiqing go to Sichuan was not Li Zexuan's plan. It was just added at the last minute. Ke Shiqing had the ability and the dream. As a Yamachō, Li Zexuan naturally had to give his student a stage to realize his dream!
What was Li Zexuan's dream when he had just transmigrated?
Li Zexuan would definitely answer that he wanted to be a carefree Marquis and then rely on his wealth to live a life of luxury with his wife!
But now, he was a Marquis and a Yamachō of the academy. His dream was to help his student realize his dream!
He wanted to be a dream godfather and let his student become the most outstanding person no matter where he went. He wanted to have students all over the world!
When that time came, he would become the most powerful person in the world!
Because by then, any student would be able to hold their own!
…
The next morning, Li Zexuan arrived at Yanhuang College. Coincidentally, Ke Shiqing was waiting for him in front of Guang Hua Building.
It was time for the students to have their breakfast.
"Yamachō!"
When Ke Shiqing saw Li Zexuan walking towards him, he hurriedly went up and greeted him nervously.
Li Zexuan smiled and said, "Hehe! Why? Are you worried that you didn't pass the exam? "
Ke Shiqing nodded and said, "Although I checked my answers last night when I returned to the dormitory, I still feel a little nervous. After all, I really want to go to Sichuan!"
Li Zexuan patted Ke Shiqing's shoulder and laughed, "Haha! Don't worry! You scored 99 points this time. According to the rules of the academy, you have passed! I will give you special permission not to participate in the next few exams! But I can't give you the exam papers now. After all, the other students haven't taken the exam yet! You can go back and discuss with your parents about the trip to Sichuan. If your parents agree, you can ask someone to send a message to me and then go directly to Sichuan!
As for the academy, I will give you some time off. When you return, you can go and study by yourself. Just like Meng Wenhao and Iron Egg, who went to war with the army! As for Chief Gao, I will write a letter to him today. When you are there, he will take care of you! "
Ke Shiqing said gratefully, "Thank you, Yamachō! Then, I will take my leave. Yamachō, take care! "
Li Zexuan nodded and said, "En! If you are going to Sichuan, you take care too! "
… … …
After the academy helped Ke Shiqing with his request for leave and handed his secret exam results to Yan Silu, Li Zexuan went down Yunshan and rode towards the pier at the lower reaches of the Ba River.
At the pier, five large merchant ships of the Feng family were ready to set off. Because they did not buy a lot of seeds in Guangdong, only a little more than ten thousand jin, Feng Zhihua only sent out five merchant ships!
"Marquis! Why are you here? "
Feng Zhihua, who was directing the loading of goods at the pier, inadvertently saw Li Zexuan riding over. He quickly went up and greeted him.
Li Zexuan dismounted from his horse and said with a smile, "Boss Feng has acted righteously this time and personally helped this Marquis go to Guangdong to purchase the White Stack Flower Seeds. This Marquis has to send Boss Feng off no matter what!"
Feng Zhihua was flattered and said, "Thank you, Marquis, for sending me off!"
"Haha! It's my pleasure, it's my pleasure! "
Li Zexuan waved his hand and took out a piece of paper and a painted letter. He handed it to Feng Zhihua and said, "Here! This is this marquis's order and this marquis's personal letter to Junwang Ye. Thinking that sending someone to deliver the letter would not be as fast as sending it by sea, I will have to trouble Boss Feng to personally deliver this letter to Junwang Ye! When the Royal Prince sees this letter, he will definitely make it convenient for you! "
The convenience he was talking about was not asking Li Xiaogong to open a back door for Feng Zhihua. He, Li Zexuan, was not someone who liked special treatment. For this sea trade, he would not let Feng Zhihua pay any less of the taxes that should be paid in Guangdong. The reason why he still needed to write a letter was because he wanted to borrow the power of the Department of Commerce to get the small countries in Nanyang to ship more White Stack Flowers to Guangdong to sell!
Feng Zhihua took the warrant and the letter with both hands and said, "Marquis, don't worry. I will personally deliver this letter to the Royal Prince of Hejian!"
Coincidentally, at this time, all the goods on the dock had been loaded. A red sun jumped out of the horizon and shone on the surface of the Ba River, reflecting the clear and crystalline waves. Feng Zhihua cupped his fists and said, "Marquis! The time has come, the fleet should set sail! This Feng will bid farewell here. This time, I will definitely bring back as many White Stack Flowers as possible for the Marquis. Marquis, may we meet again! "
Li Zexuan also cupped his fist and said, "See you later!"
Feng Zhihua nodded and then turned to walk towards the big ship.
"Raise the anchor, raise the sails, set sail!"
A moment later, the sailors on the big ship shouted and the fleet of five big ships finally set sail towards the east!
