"Lu Yun, get the steward to send this issue of the newspaper to every county in Tang Dynasty as fast as possible. It has to be twice as fast as the previous one. Use fast horses ~!"
Azure Dragon Lane, the temporary residence of the Wang Family in the capital.
Wang Renbiao had obviously just finished reading today's newspaper. He called his follower Lu Yun over and instructed seriously.
Lu Yun didn't understand and said in shock, "Double the speed ~? Young Master, wouldn't we have to pay a higher price this way ~? We'll lose money ~! "
In the past, when the Datang Daily came out, the people in and around Chang 'an City could see the news immediately due to their superior geographical location. However, the people in the counties far away from Chang' an had a hard time. Depending on the distance, the time they received the latest issue of the newspaper would be delayed by three days to a month. This was because the Wang Family's caravan was in charge of transporting the Datang Daily to other places.
Now that Wang Renbiao had made this request, they definitely couldn't use the caravan's route. They had to use fast horses to travel 800 miles. The cost of that wasn't just high.
"Bastard ~! Just do whatever Young Master asks you to do. Lu Yun, have you forgotten the lesson from last time ~?! "
Wang Renbiao was about to answer when Leng Yuyao's bone-chilling voice came from behind Lu Yun.
Lu Yun was so scared that he shivered. He quickly slapped his mouth and begged for mercy, "Young Master, please forgive me, Miss Yuyao ~! This lowly one has spoken too much, this lowly one deserves to die ~! "
Wang Renbiao waved his hand helplessly and said, "Alright, alright ~! Get someone to buy a batch of mathematics teaching materials from Shopkeeper Sun and get the steward to send them to every place in Tang Dynasty ~! "
Lu Yun cupped his hands and said, "Yes, Young Master ~!"
After that, he didn't dare to stay any longer and quickly left.
Leng Yuyao looked at Lu Yun's back and snorted, "Ignorant." Then, she walked to Wang Renbiao's side and asked worriedly, "Young Master, why do you have to speed up the delivery of this issue of the newspaper to every county ~?"
“.....”
This girl had just said that Lu Yun was immature and liked to ask questions that shouldn't be asked, and now she was asking questions herself. Seriously …
The corner of Wang Renbiao's mouth twitched. He looked at Leng Yuyao with a strange expression for a while before saying, "Little Xuan's Yanhuang College is going to start recruiting students and teachers. The relevant announcement will be published in this issue of Datang Daily. Yanhuang College will officially start school next month. Time is tight, so I have to help him ~!"
Leng Yuyao suddenly understood. She thought for a while and said, "I've seen the Yanhuang College in Yunshan from afar. The architectural style there is completely different, and they actually used a building material that I've never seen before. The surface is extremely hard and smooth like stone. It's really strange ~! Moreover, the scale of that academy was comparable to that of the Imperial College! Thanks to Li Zexuan, the Li family has accumulated so much wealth in just half a year. How admirable! "
Wang Renbiao laughed and said, "Haha! Little Xuan's ability was unquestionable ~! Otherwise, my father and I wouldn't have thought so highly of him ~! But Yuyao, you only saw the surface and didn't see the deeper layer of things ~! "
Leng Yuyao asked curiously, "What is it ~?"
Wang Renbiao pointed at the article "What is Engineering" on the newspaper and said with a deep look in his eyes:
"Little Xuan's ambition is all in here ~! Engineering, engineering, he wants to use his own strength to fight against the 800 years of dominance of Confucianism ~! Whether he succeeds or not, he will become the founder of a new school of thought. His name will be known throughout the world, and his name will be immortalized for eternity ~! If he succeeds, the countless disciples under his school of engineering will become an invisible force. By then, his Li family will be an unshakable existence in Tang Dynasty except for the royal family ~! "
Leng Yuyao's mouth was wide open in shock. No matter what, she would never have thought that Li Zexuan not only left his peers 800 miles behind in the path of martial arts, but also established his own school and stood proudly in the path of literature. Such a character already made her unable to have any jealousy, and all that was left was admiration and worship ~!
Wang Renbiao didn't stop after he finished speaking. Instead, he sighed and continued, "Now, except for the royal family, the other six aristocratic families are all divided at heart. And because of my father, the other aristocratic families are showing signs of isolating the Wang family. Did they really think that I didn't know about the gathering of the five aristocratic families a few days ago ~? Hmph ~! Naive ~!
Our Wang family just doesn't want to be associated with them ~! The royal family is too powerful now, and the aristocratic families can only struggle at death's door. If they still can't see the reality, then they won't even have the right to struggle at death's door ~! And now, our Wang family has a good relationship with Li Zexuan, a promising new star of the empire. Even if the royal family declines one day, the other aristocratic families can't compare to our Wang family's status ~!
So, this time, we have to do Li Zexuan a favor. Helping him is also helping ourselves ~! Even if my father is here, he will also make the same decision ~! "
Leng Yuyao sighed and said, "Gongzi is wise ~!"
… … …
"If you don't have great ambitions, you can use engineering to become an accountant in a shop, or take part in the mathematics examination, and become a deputy of a county or a manager of the Ministry of Civil Affairs or the Ministry of Works. That way, your whole family will have enough food and clothing. If you have great ambitions and are willing to devote yourself to engineering, you can become a master of the generation. You can do things that others don't dare to do. You can create treasures that others can't create. You can enjoy great wealth, be worshipped by thousands, and leave your name in history for eternity ~!"
Chongren Lane, in a house with three courtyards.
A young boy with acne was holding a newspaper and reading today's Datang Daily's news. He was in a daze. After a while, he suddenly jumped up and ran to the backyard, shouting excitedly as he ran, "Dad ~! Mom ~! I don't want to stay in the Imperial College ~! I want to follow Mr. Li to Yanhuang College to study engineering ~! "
This young boy was a student from the mathematics school. His name was Jiang Qingyu. It could be seen that he was also a poor child who was forced by his parents to stay in the Imperial College. Because not long after, angry scoldings sounded from the backyard.
"Bastard ~! What's so good about Yanhuang College ~? What kind of future can you have there ~? If you dare to be disobedient again, I will break your legs and make sure you can't go anywhere ~! "
"Hmph ~! Who said that going to Yanhuang College is useless ~? After you study there, not only can you become a deputy of a county or a manager of the Ministry of Works or the Ministry of Civil Affairs, but you can also become a master of the generation like Mr. Li ~! "
"Bullshit ~! Men from Li County are capable, but that doesn't mean that Yanhuang College has a future ~! You better stay in the Imperial College obediently ~! "
"No ~! Dad, look for yourself ~! Look at what engineering is ~! Look at what Yanhuang College is ~! Even if you break my legs, I will go to Yanhuang College ~! Otherwise, I will regret it for the rest of my life ~! "
