    woo woo woo woo!  Big mistake!  My old face has been completely disgraced!  I clearly wrote 1999 words to show off, but why did I turn it into a paid chapter?  How can the fan make up for this unforgivable mistake?  Now I don¡¯t dare to act rashly, for fear that many things will happen again!  I can only tearfully invite everyone to visit "Butterfly Official" for free and watch it carefully!  Just relieve your anger!  Let me figure it out in the future, and I will definitely publish a chapter of Liang Feng for free so that everyone can vent their anger!  Sorry, everyone.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    Such a ceremony was novel and lively, especially since it was the first time in the Song Dynasty that the two-kicking firecrackers soared into the sky. It soon became a topic of conversation in the streets of Kaifeng, with people praising Liang Feng¡¯s creativity.  Of course, there are also many people who dismiss it and think it is a gimmick and an act of showing off.

    In the entire capital, only people who were not present heard a loud bang at home. Later, when I asked about my family, my eyes lit up and I thought of something.

    A few days later, Liang Feng received the invitation, and the Privy Councilor Kou Zhun invited him to the mansion for a talk.

    He was excited, and regardless of the fact that the old man just wanted to see him, he took Fan Zhongyan to visit Lai Gong Mansion early on the day.

    Kou Zhun's health has deteriorated a lot, and he is currently thinking about writing his resignation and retiring to work.  Arriving at the front hall, Liang Feng and Fan Zhongyan bowed to meet each other.  Kou Zhun stopped with a smile: "I heard about the unveiling ceremony of the Academy of Talents in the Third Grade of Junior High School. It was so lively and unique. It was all because of unhappiness. I couldn't congratulate it in person. Don't blame Yutian!"

    "How dare you? I don't know if Lai Gong summons his students. What can he teach you?"

    "Haha, I'm curious. I heard that the firecrackers you set off that day could go off continuously in the air. Is this true?" Kou Zhun asked straight to the point.

    Liang Feng sighed, the entire Song Dynasty.  Such an old man can be considered a sensible person!  He smiled and said, "That's the case. Is there any celebration at Lai Gong's house? If so, I'll order some people to bring you some bundles for flattery use!"

    "Hahaha, Yutian is good at telling jokes. If I want that thing, how dare you come to sit in my humble house first? You can only ask someone to come to the door. Haha, do you really don't know why I ask?"

    "I don't know!" Liang Feng also replied with a smile.

    Fan Zhongyan sat beside him and said nothing, listening to the two fighting with a smile in his eyes.  He understood that Old Man Kou was probably trying to get into Liang Feng's pocket.

    Kou Zhun nodded: "It doesn't matter whether you know or not. Anyway, I want to find out. Your firecrackers are so exquisite. If you set them off horizontally, wouldn't they injure a lot of people?"

    "Yes." Liang Feng's face became serious.

    "If used on the battlefield, wouldn't it be a sharp weapon?" Kou Zhun was a little excited.

    "I'm afraid it's not possible yet." Liang Feng replied honestly.

    "Why?"

    "First, the proportion of gunpowder was wrong. I was afraid that the enemy would not be blown up, so I filled myself in first. Second, the range was too short, only more than ten feet at most. At this distance, the enemy had already rushed to the front, and the fuse was still there.  Before it was lit, he would be torn into pieces by the blades first!"

    Kou Zhun looked disappointed. When he heard about this thing, he was so excited that he didn't know what to do. But he realized that the flaw was huge: "Then can't you put more gunpowder in it to increase the range?"

    "Lai Gong, the students are actually not good at making firearms. They invited craftsmen who made firecrackers on the market to give them ideas and they followed them. If you want to increase the power, unless" said this, Liang  Shut up.

    "Unless what?"

    "Unless the imperial court has specialized talents gathered together to study together!"

    "Then you have already established the Guocai Yuan, why don't you start this together?" Kou Zhun said anxiously.

    "Lai Gong, I am a member of the National Academy of Talents, but I have to go through so much trouble to do ordinary things. If I continue to develop weapons, the students will not have to live." He said with a wry smile.

    Kou Zhun nodded silently and fell into deep thought.

    "If Lai Gong was interested, he might as well report to the court and open a martial arts course in the Imperial College. Yutian had mentioned this matter before, but it was too controversial. He couldn't get over it with the ministers and officials, so he had to give it up. If Lai Gong proposed it, the court would  You will be treated differently!" Fan Zhongyan interjected.

    "This matter is indeed a rare and urgent matter, so we must take care of it slowly!" Kou Zhun also became helpless.

    Although Liang Feng had little hope when he came, he still had a glimmer of hope. Seeing that even Kou Zhun, the dignified privy envoy, could not realize it immediately, he was slightly disappointed.  But it was a worthwhile trip to plant this seed in the old man's heart.  I hope that one day, the seeds in Kou Zhun's heart can blossom and bear fruit!

    The flowering of Bingke is a little early, but the opening of Qingxu Temple is fast.

    When Liang Feng¡¯s Guocai Academy was bustling with activity, Qingxu Guan was silent.??The construction is almost complete, to what extent?  Anyway, the big shelves are all there, but there are only a few small details left that need to be improved, such as passages and lighting, which are somewhat different from the design at the time or some were unexpected.

    Normally, this is not a big problem. Some things can just be done, but this little princess wants to be more perfect. She is dissatisfied after seeing the report materials brought back by her own chamberlain who went to supervise the work.  It's wrong to change it to the left, and it's wrong to change it to the right. What should I do?  We can¡¯t keep putting it off like this!  So someone came up with an idea: How about, when I heard that the Guocai Academy was opening, Zeng Gongliang once said that he was quite capable, and invited him to come and take a look?

    ???????????????????????? Then write an edict and pass it to Liang Feng, the supervisor of the Guocai Academy, and order him to lead the direct lectures of the Guocai Academy and participate in the construction of Qingxu Temple.  Anyway, they are next door, so if you have nothing to do, you can get there in just two steps.  So the edict was handed to Liang Feng.

    Liang Feng was doing something at this time. He invited Zeng Gongliang, Ding Du and the two eunuchs named Zhang Taigu and Guo Zicheng (not traitors, but eunuchs) who were seconded from the Guocai Academy.  Together.  Then he invited them all to take their seats, and he stood in the middle of the hall first, and sang "Fai Nai!"

    "I was a low-ranking official and I didn't think I could do anything, so I established this Academy of National Talents. It was just a poor man with few talents, and what I saw was really unbearable. I tried my best to organize it at the beginning. I just wanted to collect and cultivate some eclectic talents for me in the Song Dynasty.  It's just talent. Nowadays, the people employed in the imperial court cannot be said to be the same. But after all, there are too many poems and sayings, too few people who do practical things, and even fewer who have the ability to be good at other things!" Speaking of this, he  After a pause, he looked at the expressions of everyone on the table. They all looked different and slightly excited.

    "Actually, Xiaguan has always believed that astronomy, geography, arithmetic, construction, and even water conservancy and agriculture, these can be regarded as the foundation of the country. The books of sages alone can certainly educate all directions and bring virtue to future generations. However, our population is increasing day by day.  , the population has increased dramatically, and the annual harvest and tax revenue have been much slower than before. You are all wizards in this field. You should understand the truth. If you can make one acre of land produce one more stone of food, then it will be much slower than that.  The common people have shouted tens of thousands of times that a benevolent person loves others, how many times more true? That¡¯s why we braved the impeachment of officials all over the world and the confusion of all the people to build this school!"

    "Judge Court, what do you have to say? You might as well say it bluntly. After we enter your door, do we still have to go through these roundabout ways?" Ding Du was the first to become impatient and asked anxiously.

    Liang Feng smiled and said: "Brother Gongzhi is really quick to talk. Let me tell you straight. What I mean for a long time is that I can't actually be the judge of the Guocai Yuan, but I just do it for the sake of the court and the world. Therefore,  Regarding this matter, I just want to entrust you all here to work hard, and as for me, a low-ranking official, I will focus on supporting your appearance, playing tricks, and fighting for status!"

    Zeng Gongliang¡¯s face froze and he said, ¡°What do you mean, you don¡¯t care?¡±

    "Haha, it's not that I don't care. It's because laymen can't lead experts. If you want to take care of it, please take care of it. I'm just giving a name. Let's do this. Let's talk behind closed doors in the Guocai Institute. Let's ask Brother Gongzhi to take charge of the overall situation. Brother Mingzhong  You help me, and Brother Zhang and Brother Guo are also involved in the management. We just keep this matter at home and talk about how to deal with it when we go out. Everything will be the same as before. What do you think?"

    The four of them looked at each other, not knowing how to respond.  Could it be that this guy went through all the trouble and took the blame just to set up a school and then give it up to others?  It¡¯s so unreasonable!

    Liang Feng knew everyone's thoughts, and continued to explain: "Really, it's much better for you to do it than for me to give random instructions. For example, recruiting students, who is capable, who is talented, who can learn well, and who  People can become great talents. It¡¯s not like studying in the imperial examination, brother, I am at a loss! Only by relying on your unique wisdom and recruiting talents can we strengthen our National Academy of Talents. Otherwise, those scholars will look down on this and will not come to study at all; those who have the ability  Yes, you misunderstood us again, and you dare not come even if you want to, what a pity?"

    After talking for a long time, a few of them finally understood what he meant.  Just do nothing in name!

    Ding Duwei said, "I understand how you feel, but it's just not good. It's not just the name, but it's hard for us to manage it!"

    "This is easy to handle. I still lead the court, so I asked Brother Gongzhi to be the dean and take charge of the affairs of the Guocai Academy. As for Brother Mingzhong, he will be the deputy dean and assist Brother Gongzhi. Brother Zhang and  Brother Guo, just divide the classes according to what you are proficient in and familiar with, and manage them separately. When the time comes, I will take the time to come over and take a look. If you have any difficulties that you want me to solve, I will try my best. How about it? "

    This title sounds very nice, and all four of them are excited.  Speaking of these people, except for Zeng Gongliang who enjoyed being the top leader, the others have been working in the department and have long been tortured to death.  Now that I heard that I can dominate a party and give orders and show off my talents, is there anyone who doesn't want to?

      Liang Feng struck while the iron was hot: "As for your salary, Liang Feng dares to say that in addition to the imperial salary, there is another system in the courtyard. Brother Gongzhi will receive an increase of 500 guan in the year, brother Mingzhong will receive an increase of 400 guan in the year, and brother Zhang will receive an increase of 400 guan.  Brother, I will give you three hundred guan per year. From now on, I will look at the talent training in our hospital and reward you as appropriate. What do you think?"

    This is a big deal. Speaking of which, Liang Feng¡¯s annual salary is not that much. Where can he get the money?  Just as he was about to ask a question, Liang Feng had already interrupted: "Don't worry about where the money comes from. Don't worry, just don't embezzle from the court or reach out to the officials. Just continue, it will be clean and harmless!"

    "Last question, what are you trying to do?" Dingdu asked in anguish, puzzled.

    "For no reason, just so that the Song Dynasty can have a few more exquisite houses, a few more peaceful rivers, and a few more kilograms of rice to fill his stomach in the future. Liang Feng's life is enough!" (To be continued)
