Chapter 185 The wheels turn.

"I heard that the Imperial Master has just arrived in Da Qi and doesn't have any land yet. I was inconsiderate. Not only for the Imperial Master but also for these seeds, a piece of land must be set aside to test the finished products for promotion throughout the country. In this way, the pieces of land outside the South City Gate shall be set aside for the Imperial Master!"

Zhan Doudou stared into Li An's eyes and said, "I hope the Imperial Master will not disappoint me!"

Li An lowered his head slightly and said in a deep voice: "I will obey your majesty's order!"

Zhan Doudou nodded and looked at Li An's three disciples, and asked, "What are the names of the three talented people?"

"I, Lu Liang, greet your majesty!"

"I, Cao Bin, greet your majesty!"

"I, Yang Yuntian, greet your majesty!"

The three were not used to all kinds of etiquette, so they just bowed their heads slightly and saluted and replied.

"Well, I won't arrange positions for you guys. I'm sure the Imperial Master will make the arrangements so that you can display what you have learned!" Looking at the people below who would become his disciples in three years, Zhan Doudou's eyes became more kind.

From now on you have to call me Master’s Wife!
The more I think about it, the more exciting it becomes!

No, the prince's matter must be put on the agenda as soon as possible. I have been listening to the words of the Grand Tutor so many times that my ears are callused!
"What else do you want to report? If nothing else, then we can leave the court!"

Seeing that the court officials were silent, Zhan Doudou waved his hand and dispersed the meeting.

He originally wanted to ask Li An to stay and chat with him for a while to ease the pain of missing him, but when he saw Li An instructing several disciples, he gave up the idea.

This dead man was so powerful that day but he didn't take me seriously at all. Afterwards he didn't even give me any explanation. I only knew some of his intentions through the Queen Mother. It's really hateful!
Zhan Doudou's expression changed again, and finally he shut up and left.

The Internal Minister Yu Wenyun followed suit and sighed again that this job was becoming increasingly difficult!

Li An and his disciples walked out of the palace, saying as they walked: "You will work in the Agriculture Department in the future. Now that spring ploughing has arrived, you should first vigorously cultivate this rice variety and ignore other things. Promote it to the whole country as soon as possible!"

"Although Qi is located in the north, rice cannot be harvested several times, but I think we can try to harvest twice. I will give you a task, that is, to promote this new crop to the whole Qi within three years. Do you have the confidence to do it?"

Lu Liang responded loudly: "Confident!"

Yang Yuntian reminded: "Teacher, although planting new seeds is a good thing, I am worried that someone will secretly sabotage it."

The disciple's words reminded Li An. He nodded and said, "I will let your Thirteenth Brother pick some guards, so that this will become the norm until it is promoted nationwide."

Seeing that everything had been arranged, Li An took his three disciples to stroll around the city, inspecting the construction progress of various new departments, especially the reconstruction of several people's banks and the construction of academies and military schools.

As for the Salt and Iron Bureau and the Agriculture Bureau, those were matters that the palace should be concerned about, so Li An didn't take them too seriously.

Needless to say, the Agricultural Department will be very useful in promoting crops in the later stage, but the three disciples should still be the main force in the early stage. As for the Salt and Iron Department, Li An plans to hold a meeting at the end of March and ask salt merchants across the country to send representatives to Shangjing City to participate in the bidding.

Now we are just passing on this news.

Several people met Hong Kaijia at the new site of the academy. Several disciples seemed very happy, but they were secretly sad because of the matter of the Xu brothers.

"Kaijia, how is the progress?" "Teacher, the academy will be available at the beginning of next month, but as for the military school, we may have to wait for a while."

Because Hong Kaijia had to complete some strange requirements of his teacher for the military academy, he had no choice but to extend the construction period in order to achieve excellence.

"Try to speed up the process!" Li An nodded helplessly.

There is no other way. If we want to train military academy students according to the method in the mobile phone, we will need to use a lot of facilities and equipment, and there will also be many requirements for the venue.

Now that Ang Lee can mobilize resources from across the country, he will naturally not be polite.

"Have there been any progress with the Military Equipment Manufacturing Office and the Shipbuilding Department?"

"Hey! The military equipment is OK, after all, I also worked as a blacksmith with you for a while." Hong Kaijia scratched his head embarrassedly, this is a habit of his. "As for the Ship Department, we are still recruiting shipbuilders from all over the country, so it's not urgent. As for the taxation of river and sea transportation, you have to ask my junior brothers and sisters to help me!"

Li An nodded. He knew that it was difficult for his eldest disciple. He was at a loss as to who to choose. After a moment, he thought of someone.

"can!"

Hong Kaijia then breathed a sigh of relief and went on to introduce the academy.

When Li An returned to Wanshizhai, it was already evening. The three disciples who specialized in agronomy would go to bed early today and go to the suburbs to start planting tomorrow.

When the carriage stopped at Wanshizhai, Li An was startled by the long queue outside. He quickly ordered the coachman to make a circle, and several people returned to the mansion through the back door.

Zhao Tong'er was still making money for her teacher in the front yard at this time. After they had a quick dinner, Li An called Chen Xiao over.

That’s right, this person was the disciple who was previously arranged to go to Qing Yu Tang to learn skills.

Li An then arranged for him to form an imperial merchant in Shangjing, annex the existing imperial merchants of Northern Qi, and take charge of all affairs. He gave him his own jade pendant and asked him to take it to the palace to handle everything in the future.

He is the head of the imperial merchant that Li Ang has prepared!
Not only that, when the People's Bank is on the right track in the future, this disciple will take over.

Li An wanted to see whether the Taiping Money House controlled by Si Gu Jian's disciple Li Bohua was better, or the People's Money House controlled by his own disciple Chen Xiao was stronger!
Now, everything is ready and we just have to wait for the academy to open at the beginning of next month.

Ang Lee returned to his study and began to organize the teaching materials and outlines needed for future teaching.

He planned to teach only the knowledge that was useful to Qi at this stage, with the focus on training the grassroots officials needed by the whole country. These officials were used to collect tax revenue, measure land, conduct censuses, investigate and draw mountains and rivers, and draw traffic maps. At the same time, they could also educate the people to a certain extent. Otherwise, if there were any policies and decrees issued in the future, the people would not understand them, which would be funny!
This kind of official will have a hard time, but the world is most in need of such people.

As for the source of students, Li An would exclude all the powerful families and only recruit children from poor families. The ideal situation is to train the first batch of students within a year. In addition to leaving some people to substitute for classes, the rest will be arranged to take up posts in towns and villages in counties and prefectures. Each person will be accompanied by a Jinyiwei, Heibingtai or military academy graduate, who can be regarded as Zhan Zhao beside Bao Gong. This is considered to be a harmonious government and people, with ears and eyes all over the country, eliminating those who are not suitable!
Just as Li An's mind was running wild, he was thinking, checking his phone, and supplementing the lesson plan from time to time, when he suddenly stopped the brush in his hand and looked in one direction.

Outside the window, there were figures floating around. It looked like there were two of them, and they were very far away.

Li Ang's ears moved slightly, feeling the meaning of the wind, he tapped his feet lightly, and instantly turned into a beautiful flying swan under the moon, disappearing into the vast night.

Also gone was a silver box!
