This was a feast for the eyes and mind. In just one day, Zhou Yang had learned a lot from them.
Each of them had their own unique way of doing business and unique experiences, and in order to defeat the other strong opponents within ten days, they had to use all of their means and methods to the fullest.
Zhou Yang stretched his back. Fan Li, Shen Wansan, and the rest also started to look for a place to rest. Some stayed in high-class guesthouses, some in ordinary hotels, and some even found a place to stay for the night.
After some thought, Zhou Yang decided to return to the end of the Han Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms. Zhou Yang appeared at the Imperial College.
"Lord Imperial Tutor!" The two servants outside the door greeted respectfully when they saw Zhou Yang walking out.
"Inform the officers of the Cavalry Battalion to make a trip to the Imperial College." Zhou Yang instructed one of the servants and walked towards the main hall.
The decorations and furnishings of the Imperial College were much more luxurious than the last time Zhou Yang came. Even the tables and chairs in the main hall were almost the same as the ones used in the imperial palace, except for some special markings.
Zhou Yang found a seat and sat down quietly while eating the various fruits and pastries placed on the table.
Not long after, Cao Cao, Jia Xu, Lü Bu, Xun You, and Xun Yu arrived at the Imperial College one after another.
The residences of the four of them were very close to the Imperial College. If they weren't the civil and military officials under Zhou Yang, perhaps only Xun You, Xun Yu, and Cao Cao could afford to buy the residences in the surrounding area.
Xun You and Xun Yu were born in an aristocratic family in Yingchuan, so they naturally didn't lack money. As for Cao Cao, he had a wealthy father who used to be a Grand Commandant, one of the Three Dukes, so he definitely didn't lack money.
As for the other nearby mansions, they were either occupied by high-ranking officials of the imperial court using their authority, or bought by aristocratic families at a high price. A small number of wealthy merchants were lucky enough to buy some residences.
Ever since Zhou Yang had opened the auction, the status of merchants in the Three Kingdoms of the Late Han Dynasty had risen greatly. At the very least, no one dared to say that being a merchant was a lowly job. After all, even a god-like figure like the Imperial Tutor was doing business.
Saying that a businessman was lowly was an act of courting death. Even if the authorities didn't arrest you, anyone who heard of it would probably beat you up and send you to the authorities.
"Greetings, Lord Imperial Tutor."
Inside the hall, dozens of generals stood on the left, and no more than five or six civil officials stood on the right, bowing to Zhou Yang in unison.
"Everyone, please rise and sit down." Zhou Yang waved his hand and found that there was one more civil official in the hall, and the rest were all generals.
Under the lead of Cao Cao and Jia Xu, everyone slowly sat down.
"May I know who has just joined the Cavalry Camp?" Zhou Yang asked with a smile, looking at the civil and military officials on both sides.
"Huang Zhong of Nanyang, Huang Hansheng, greets Lord Imperial Tutor." A burly middle-aged man, who looked to be in his forties, wearing a silver armor, said in a loud voice.
"Not bad, the best archer in Nanyang, Huang Zhong, Huang Hansheng, you're braver than others." Zhou Yang praised.
"Wei Yan of Yiyang, Wei Wenzhang, greets Lord Imperial Tutor." After Huang Zhong sat down with a face full of joy, a burly man, who was eight feet tall and had a face like a date, stood up and said. He looked somewhat like Guan Yu.
"Wei Yan of Yiyang, Wei Wenzhang, I'm braver than others and good at training soldiers." Zhou Yang said under Wei Yan's expectant gaze.
"Thank you, Lord Imperial Tutor." Wei Yan bowed and thanked him before returning to his seat.
"Zhao Yun of Changshan, Zhao Zilong, greets Lord Imperial Tutor." An eight feet tall man with thick eyebrows and big eyes stood up and said. He had a dignified and majestic appearance.
"Zhao Zilong of Changshan, I've learned spear art from Tong Yuan, a master of spear art. I heard that the pupil surpasses the master and has the courage of ten thousand men." Zhou Yang's gaze paused on Zhao Zilong for a moment. After all, he was very famous in the Three Kingdoms at the end of the Han Dynasty, and could enter and exit an army of millions.
"Xu Chu of Qiao Nation, Xu Zhongkang, greets Lord Imperial Tutor." A burly man, who was more than eight feet tall and had a large waist, a strong appearance, and great bravery, said in a low, muffled voice.
"I heard that Xu Zhongkang of Qiao Nation used the strength of nine oxen and two tigers. Seeing him today, he is indeed extraordinary." Zhou Yang smiled. People like Dian Wei and Xu Chu, who were so loyal to the death, were worth training.
After the introduction of the generals, Zhou Yang turned his head to the other side and looked at a new civil official. When the Hussar Battalion was established, there were very few civil officials recruited.
"Xi Zhicai of Yingchuan, greets Lord Imperial Tutor." A very thin and weak man with a somewhat sickly face said softly.
"I've heard of you and Guo Fengxiao. One is a genius, the other a schemer, and both are geniuses of the present age." Zhou Yang was not stingy with his praise. Xi Zhicai and Guo Jia had both made enormous contributions in the early stages of Cao Cao's rise, but they had both died before their ambitions could be realized.
Xi Zhicai returned to his seat with a faint smile.
"Ever since the battle with the Turks, I have yet to reward the meritorious officials," Zhou Yang said after some thought. With a wave of his hand, four syringes appeared in Zhou Yang's hand.
"This is a strengthening drug. Although it will be somewhat painful when injected, it can immediately give an ordinary person the courage of ten thousand men." Zhou Yang explained to the confused officials in the hall, and also explained how to use it.
"Cao Mengde, Jia Wenhe, Lü Fengxian, Xun Gongda, the four of you have rendered the greatest service. This is your reward." Under the expectant gazes of all the civil and military officials, Zhou Yang uttered four names that they were not surprised by.
The four naturally gleefully took the syringes, and under Lü Bu's dumbfounded gaze, Cao Cao, Jia Xu, and Xun You took the strengthening drug and injected it.
Cao Cao, Jia Xu, and Xun You were not as brainless as Lü Bu.
They had never used this strengthening drug before, so perhaps it was a taboo to use it in front of the Imperial Tutor. If something went wrong, they might as well use it in front of the Lord Imperial Tutor.
"Aren't we going to inject it after we return?" Lü Bu was confused. He had wanted to go back and show off, but after seeing the others inject it, he could only inject it.
After the injection, although Cao Cao's muscles were twitching, he was still talking and laughing calmly, showing off his ambitious and ruthless character.
Jia Xu was expressionless as he sat quietly. He was born in a poor family, so he was not afraid of this pain.
Xun You's face was a little pale, and his body was trembling slightly. He, who was born in a big family, had never experienced such pain.
As for Lü Bu, he was fine. He was a strong person who had been injured since he was young, so this little bit of pain was really nothing to him.
Under the gazes of the others, the eyes of Cao Cao and the other three all turned pale gold, and the smiles on their faces could not be concealed.
Each of them felt a surging power, which was comparable to a tiger or leopard, and could even lift a cauldron.
"Liu Xuande, Sun Wentai, Cao Zixiao, and Guo Fengxiao, these are for the four of you." Under the expectant gazes of the crowd, Zhou Yang took out four white jade cups and said.
These were the strengthening potions that could be taken orally. Zhou Yang directly split them into four portions and gave them to the four of them. Naturally, the four of them drank it with a face full of joy.
"Big Brother, how is it?" Zhang Fei, who was sitting behind Liu Bei, asked eagerly.
"It's a little sweet." Liu Bei smacked his lips. Why didn't the reaction of Cao Cao and the others be as intense?
"Big Brother, I mean, did it become stronger?" Zhang Fei asked. Why didn't his big brother's eyes change at all?
"Yes." Liu Bei nodded. He could feel the explosive increase of power in his body.
Under the expectant gazes of the crowd, Zhou Yang actually stopped giving out the potions and directly called for the servants to prepare a banquet. The crowd ate without much appetite. Looking at the pale gold eyes of Cao Cao and the other three, they were all very envious.
"In the study next door, there are some secret martial arts manuals and some information about the world's geography and people."
"Everyone can choose to read some. Soon, I will go to a world called Grave Robber's Chronicles. At that time, I will choose some of you to bring over." Zhou Yang smiled and pointed to the study at the side. He did not continue to keep them in suspense.
Most of the people in the Nine Yang Manual would not be able to cultivate any Qi.
After all, they were too old and had long passed the age suitable for cultivating secret martial arts manuals.
As for martial arts, these veteran generals who had been on the battlefield for many years should be able to comprehend one or two martial arts manuals. Their strength would definitely increase by a lot.
Zhou Yang did not say anything more. He waved his hand and let them in.
The books and information in the study did not cost a single Value Point.
As for the secret martial arts manuals, Zhou Yang placed all the secret martial arts manuals that he had cultivated in the study. He also spent a few hundred Value Points to exchange for many Low and Middle Grade martial arts manuals. There were eighteen types of weapons in the study.
As for their growth, it would depend on their own efforts.
