No matter what resolution the meeting makes, it is already very late today and preparations can only be started tomorrow. There is no such thing as overtime in medieval society.
Although there are always stories circulating about emperors or officials worrying about government affairs in the middle of the night, or scholars reading by candlelight in the middle of the night, stories are just stories. No one forces you to follow suit, and no one tells you that it is right to do so. Many people even believe in the health theory that people should rest after the sun sets, and regard working after dark as a violation of the laws of nature. Therefore, before Lin Hai held the night meeting, most people went to bed after dark.
Everyone said goodbye, leaving only Lin Hai, Shi Zhener and his students.
It is now Lin Hai's night school time. Normally, there is no serious subject in the night school teaching after such a meeting. Instead, everyone asks questions based on the content of the meeting, Lin Hai answers them, and then everyone discusses and brainstorms. This is also the best teaching method that Lin Hai can think of based on his knowledge reserves. He named this teaching method "Night Talk".
Everyone moved the tables and chairs in the cafeteria, formed a circle, and let Lin Hai sit in the center of the circle.
Since each student lit an oil lamp on the desk in front of him, and Lin Hai did not need to make any records, he only had a chair, so overall it looked like twelve points of light surrounding Lin Hai. From every angle, some faint light could be seen radiating onto Lin Hai, vaguely illuminating the outline of his figure, but not being able to see it clearly. If you stand outside the circle, you will find that the entire cafeteria is like a special astronomical phenomenon, with twelve faintly glowing stars surrounding a black hole. The edge of the black hole slightly reflects the light of the stars, allowing people to roughly judge the boundary of the black hole, but still unable to see the full picture of the black hole.
Of course, the universe is full of wonders. If you say that there really aren't twelve stars orbiting a black hole, that's not necessarily true. After all, no one can prove it. But when Lin Hai saw this situation for the first time, he didn't actually think of the universe or stars at all. Instead, he was worried that his identity as a time traveler would be discovered, and that his twelve students would try to use some evil cult dark rituals on him.
Fortunately, Shi Zhen'er finally noticed Lin Hai's abnormality, moved a set of tables and chairs and sat down next to Lin Hai, saying that she wanted to continue taking minutes of the meeting so that she could organize them for everyone to see afterwards, and the whole scene returned to normal.
Lin Hai took the hot tea from Shi Zhen'er and blew on it gently, which made Shi Zhen'er unhappy. After all, ever since Shi Zhen'er started making tea for Lin Hai, the temperature of the tea he drank had always been constant and just right. Lin Hai smiled apologetically. Blowing on the tea was a habit he had inherited from his previous life, and he probably couldn't change it.
"Ask ahead. I know you have a lot of questions. Some I can answer, some we need to discuss together, and some require more information in the future to know the truth. But no matter what, you can ask whatever questions you want today." Lin Hai sat forward slightly, and then collapsed in his chair. From the time he planned to wipe out the seventeen bandits to today, he has not had a rest. He is indeed too tired. Maybe this is the difference between starting a business and working.
"Principal, what do you think of our relationship with Cambodia? Will we become the Khmer's first target?" Zhang Jinnan asked. Although Lin Hai had been using Zhang Jinnan's identity to contact Xin Yuetu, he didn't have much time to deal with the details of the Khmer deal. So, whether it was the behind-the-scenes operations of Qitian Village or the transactions with Cambodia, the real person in charge was Zhang Jinnan.
"We are not allies with the Khmer, and we never will be. Although the Khmer and Chen dynasties share a border, the situation presents a more cost-effective opportunity for the Khmer to attack us. To put it bluntly, even with the support of the Great Liang Empire, the entire southwest is so exhausted that it simply cannot resist the Khmer army. Furthermore, buying iron ore is never as convenient as owning it ourselves."
"So how do we deal with this?"
"The four great kingdoms are still agricultural societies. I've already explained the characteristics of agricultural societies. The Khmer Rouge's rigid and sluggish bureaucracy and mobilization system mean they won't be able to send a large army into Xiangyun Province even a year from now. We must gain a firm foothold in Xiangyun Province before then and utilize Xiangyun's mountainous terrain to prepare defenses. Our intelligence agencies need to focus their utmost on the Khmer Rouge. Don't be reluctant to spend money on those glass artifacts; you know where they came from. We must exacerbate their social conflicts while they're preparing for war, minimize their war potential, and slow them down."
"Principal, is this enough? No matter how hard we try to hold off the Khmer, as a kingdom, they will always mobilize. By then, all our arrangements in Xiangyun will be in vain."
"Jinnan, do you remember that fight you had with Wang Zuo in the cafeteria just for the last chicken leg?"
Zhang Jinnan was stunned for a moment, not knowing why the principal suddenly brought up this old matter. The principal was not the kind of person who would change the subject or get angry when he couldn't answer.
Wang Zuo was reminded of this and quickly replied, "Yes, in the end, Wang Zhen quietly took the chicken leg and ate it."
"Yes, so you need to do two things. First, tell the Khmer Rouge that Wang Zhen exists. Second, go and get Wang Zhen to come down early and grab the chicken leg. That way, you can sit back and watch Wang Zuo and Wang Zhen fight, eating the chicken leg while cheering for them to come on."
"So what are the chicken legs of the Khmer and Tran dynasties?"
