Every time Mr. Liu saw him, his head would buzz, so he had really broadened his horizons in the past three years, which was more useful than traveling around. Since Dai Yuping was not his son-in-law, he was brought around directly. He thought that Dai Yuping was not a pretentious young master, but was rather cunning. Under Mr. Liu's suggestion, he quickly became friends with the teachers in the academy.
After getting more and more exposure, he felt that even if he continued to take scientific examinations, he might not learn as much as he did in school. He was even now obsessed with making sophisticated weapons. A few days ago, a successor who specialized in making mechanisms came to the school. Because people value culture over military affairs nowadays, people like him can only go to Huangling to be designers, but once they enter, they cannot leave. Unless they are from a family that is short of money, who would like to die? However, his craftsmanship focuses on the maintenance of his hands, and he cannot do any delicate work.
He could hardly support himself. After hearing about the situation in Jizhou City, he came here with only dry food and some silver money, without even the money for the return trip. No one took him seriously at that time. After all, Jizhou School was now on the right track and had a teacher specifically responsible for recruitment. So Mr. Liu didn't come at all. The teacher in charge of recruitment found that this person was very good at running a business, so he directly recommended him to Mr. Liu.
Yu Xiuming happened to be talking to Mr. Liu. When he saw the mechanism he designed, he asked him to stay and even gave him a special class on mechanism, which was considered a subject in the field of strange craftsmanship. Although not many people came to learn it, those who came to learn it would not quit.
Such skills are really very useful. Even Yu Xiuming wanted to take this person away directly and send him to the island where he trained secret guards to be responsible for mechanism design. However, Liu Juren stopped him directly. People who were taken away by Yu Xiuming basically could not be brought back, and it was even like throwing a meat bun at a dog. It was better for them to keep them in school to educate everyone, so that more mechanism masters could be cultivated.
Only then did Yu Xiuming let go. Even the spies Zhou Qingyun arranged in the school felt regretful after they found out. If there was such a person on the battlefield, he would be invincible. Now this person only has three students, but there are already many people waiting in secret to divide the whereabouts of these three students. Even the successor of the agency did not expect that his students would be so popular instead of being sent to build a mausoleum. This Mr. Yaonian, he really did not expect to come here willingly to pass on his skills to avoid breaking the inheritance.
As a result, the art of mechanisms, which was unpopular in his hometown, became popular here. Several people even came to him secretly and wanted him to teach more students, as three were not enough. After all, he was good at mechanisms and defense. He was the best master of mechanisms. Who was a fool to tell him that he could only build tombs?
It's not just these people who know that they can't poach teachers who are already in the school. The people behind them wanted to poach people a long time ago, but they could not bear Yu Xiuming's wrath. Didn't they see that those who attacked his wife when she was giving birth have almost all been killed now. Even the once-powerful Duke An Guo and An Guozhang are now like toothless tigers. Queen An in the palace is bedridden and unable to get up. Now it is rumored that it was Yu Xiuming's frozen hands that was revenge for the poisoning of his wife when she gave birth. As a result, when this rumor reached Yu Xiuming, he sent people to deal with it directly. Even Queen An, who wanted to rely on rumors to suppress Yu Xiuming from handing over the antidote, was warned by Yu Xiuming's people.
The two most loyal palace maids and a trusted nanny around Queen An were all dealt with by Yu Xiuming. Their deaths were not tragic, but they served as a warning, and Queen An was so angry that she couldn't get out of bed.
Zhou Qingyun didn't say anything after he knew about it. He had no choice. In the past three years, Yu Xiuming and my roommate and his wife had been like mad dogs, retaliating crazily against those who had done the trick. Even he had been warned by Wang Shiyu that there had been no correspondence since she got married. But this time, Wang Shiyu wrote to him directly, and even meant that he should mind his own business. She could ignore him, but if he dared to interfere in her revenge, she would take ruthless action without any consequences. This made Zhou Qingyun give up Queen An and even sit back and relax.
Occasionally, he would provide the couple with some of the truth he knew. He saw that Duke Anguo had become obedient, and the Regent had not directly opposed him during this period. He always felt that his elder who had served for three dynasties, the Prime Minister who was the emperor's teacher, no longer opposed him and even wanted his protection.
This period of time was the most comfortable time he had lived since he ascended the throne, so he knew that these people were really despicable, so he would not protect them at all. He wanted to secretly help Yu Xiuming speed up the process. Unfortunately, Yu Xiuming always took steady steps. Even if he defeated the people of the aristocratic families, he would choose to erode these forces and make them his own before moving on to the next step. He would not take too big a step at once, which would lead to instability in the rear.
Zhou Qingyun didn't find any opportunity to place his own people in, and even the people he placed in were not in the main positions. There were even talents from Jizhou School who continued to support Yu Xiuming's career. He didn't need those strangers as his confidants. Everyone who came out of the school was very upright and not moved by money at all.
They are also helpless and even want to bribe some people. Unfortunately, even if there are people who can be bribed, they will be discovered soon. They still don’t know what went wrong. They have worked hard for many years, but all their efforts have gone to waste. They can’t understand the unique way of settling accounts of the students who graduated from the school. Even if they want to change some things, they dare not act rashly.
There was even one time when they changed a decimal point, and it was discovered the next day. Later, they sent people to school to learn, and found out that they had a special way of keeping accounts, and there were accountants who specialized in learning these things. Moreover, money and accounts were managed separately. If you wanted to spend money, you had to get a note with the things you needed, the amount you needed, and the quantity. Prices were unified now, so even if you wanted to conceal it, you couldn't. And this note would be directly transmitted from one level to another, and finally it would reach the accountant here. They only needed to check the amount in the account book every day to find out where there was a problem with today's amount.
This made the princes and nobles feel completely overwhelmed. Such a strict accounting method really opened their eyes. Even the goods leaving the warehouse were recorded. What was sold and what was taken from the warehouse every day were all recorded clearly, making it impossible for the shopkeepers and waiters to falsify the information.
