Your Majesty, do you have any technical talents?
Your Majesty, how much time and money are you willing to invest in improving farmland irrigation and rice seeds?
........
Qiao Xin asked several questions in a row, and the Emperor became more and more silent as he listened!
This was the first time that Emperor Wu truly realized that he was a pauper!
It seems like he owns the country, but he has nothing!
Qiao Xin didn't want to continue to attack people. Thinking that His Majesty's visit was like a revisit to an old place, she couldn't help but suggest: "Your Majesty, do you want to go to Qingyang Academy to take a look?"
"allow!"
After the reconstruction, Qingyang Academy is more than twice as large as before. The old campus halfway up the mountain was renovated and is only used as a place for classes, while accommodation, martial arts training, dining and other facilities for teachers and students are all planned in the new area at the foot of the mountain.
In this way, the original appearance of Qingyang Academy can be preserved as much as possible, so as not to arouse Emperor Wu's aversion to the reconstruction. After all, no matter how much it is renovated, it is impossible for it to become exactly the same as before. If there is any problem in the future, it will be easy for those who really want to find fault.
As we walked along the path on the mountain, Qiao Xin introduced to everyone what these places were used for and what the current progress was.
Emperor Wu looked at the brand new house, the spacious and clean roads, and the people coming in and out, and he was extremely satisfied!
When I first handed this matter over to the Qiao family, I was worried that this place was remote and no one would be willing to send their children here. Now it seems that I was completely worried. It was absolutely right that I couldn't find it!
"What about sir, is it enough?"
Speaking of this, Qiao Xin thanked Liang Shengming from the bottom of her heart. This old gentleman was indeed a world-renowned scholar. He sent a few letters and Qingyang Academy recruited more than a dozen teachers who were willing to come and teach. And each of them was a person of good reputation.
Do you really think that these students who come here to study are coming for the Qiao family?
Everyone came here because of the reputation of Liang Shengming and his students.
"It's enough for now. With Mr. Liang here, we don't have to worry about the teachers in the School of Arts. But the deans and professors in the School of Martial Arts have not been decided yet!"
His Majesty asked in confusion: "Isn't it hard to find one? Aren't you the most suitable, Madam?"
"If the eldest comes back to take over the household affairs, I can rest assured and take care of my old age. It would be a good idea for me to teach these kids. I just don't know if it will work or not."
"Then let's find a few martial arts masters who are good at boxing and kicking. I can't leave your eldest son for the time being. Why should I support him when he is young? Old lady, you should continue to work hard. This martial arts academy doesn't need you to stay there every day. It would be good for you to help look after it a little."
"Your Majesty, have you agreed to be the honorary dean of Qingyang Academy? All the students who graduate from here will be your Majesty's disciples."
Emperor Wu shook his head and said, "Madam, there is no need to look ahead and behind. I am not that petty. As for the title of the emperor's disciple, let it go. Otherwise, the deans of other colleges in Dajing will also ask me for this title. What kind of person will I be then?"
Qiao Xin also knew that this idea was a bit too naive. After all, the interests involved were too complicated. The boss just wanted to give it a try. Since His Majesty did not agree, there was nothing to worry about.
At this time, Li Zhong sent someone to report: "Madam, people from Leiwo Village have come, bringing more than a dozen carts of stuff, which are covered tightly. They insist on seeing you in person before they will let everyone unload the stuff!"
"I see. Ask them to drive the car directly to the library and inform the gentleman that the new books have arrived. Ask them to come and count them."
Emperor Wu asked curiously, "New books? Are they the books that will be distributed to students at the beginning of the semester?"
Qiao Xin nodded and said, "Yes, let's go and have a look together!"
Liang Shengming and others arrived faster than Qiao Xin and others. When they received the notice, they couldn't sit still for a moment and immediately set off to rush over here.
The two gangs happened to meet at the door of the library. In order to make it easier for him to go out, Emperor Wu had his face retouched and disguised himself so as not to reveal his identity. People who were not familiar with him would not be able to recognize him.
At this time, they were just regarded as Qiao Xin's guests.
With the books in his mind, he said hello to Qiao Xin and the others, then hurried to the carriage.
It was the first time that Master Jiu and Village Chief Lei came to Laohu Town to work for their boss. To be cautious, they selected the best young and strong laborers in the village. They were extremely careful along the way. They stayed with the convoy closely and finally arrived at Laohu Town at the agreed time.
Seeing Qiao Xin, the two of them boldly left the motorcade and excitedly stepped forward to salute: "Boss!"
Seeing that they were all so old and still doing it themselves, Qiao Xin felt really bad. She quickly helped them up and said, "Thank you for your hard work! Don't rush back. I'll arrange for someone to take you to rest. It's not easy to come here, so stay for a few days!"
"There's no rush to rest. Boss, you should check the things first, otherwise I will never be able to let go of this worry!"
Hahaha, okay, it's the first time, so it's inevitable to be nervous. You'll feel comfortable after coming here a few more times. There are too many things to move in a short time. Village Chief Lei, you and Master Jiu can stay in the pavilion next to this and take a rest. I want someone to send you some food and drinks. Let these young people guard the ox cart. How about we check the accounts bit by bit?"
"Okay, fine, I'll listen to the boss!"
Upon hearing this, the servants of the Qiao family immediately took action.
When the felt cloth on the leading carriage was lifted, a number of square boxes wrapped tightly with straw raincoat leaves were revealed underneath.
Everyone present was surprised. The young man in front of the carriage saw that no one said anything, because the boss disliked their poor order, he had to explain: "Nine Master said that if we pack an extra layer like this, even if it suddenly rains on the road, we don't have to worry too much about our things getting wet!"
The command of the working people should not be underestimated. This kind of straw raincoat can be seen everywhere by the river. Ordinary people use it to make straw raincoats. Few people use it to make large rainproof mats, especially such a large one with double-layer reinforced mat surface.
The people of Leiwo Village are really thoughtful!
Boss Qiao is always willing to praise employees who work hard: "You have done a good job and are very thoughtful! I was negligent. I will have someone purchase a batch of waterproof tarpaulins and send them to you later."
The young man was stunned. Isn't this right? Why should he apologize to them in front of his boss? The nobles who were used to yelling at them and beating them up were at a loss when faced with Qiao Xin's kind words: "No, no, this is what we should do."
Seeing that just two sentences from her made the other party uncomfortable, Qiao Xin stopped talking and thought, take it slow. Sooner or later, her employees will adapt to her management style.
There is no need to beat or scold people, let alone to take their lives like a sinner!
