The tyrant empress is my wife, I am invincible and have been hiding

"Thank you, Your Majesty. I will not bother you any further."

When Zhai Fu heard Zhao Yunfei's ready agreement, a smile appeared on his face. He knew that his purpose of coming to see Zhao Yunfei had been achieved, so he prepared to turn around and leave.

"Teacher Zhai has come all the way to Dongyu County, so how could I not show my hospitality?" Zhao Yunfei said slowly as he looked at Zhai Fu who turned around.

Da da da……

"Father, why did you call me here?"

At this moment, Zhao Tuo's voice was heard outside the reception room, and he came into the hall.

"Tuo'er, this is Mr. Zhai from Jinling Academy. He has been ordered to come to Dongyu County and will build an academy in Dongyu County."

"It's getting late today, so you can take him around and treat him well. If Mr. Zhai has any requests, try to satisfy them, okay?"

Zhao Yunfei looked calm. He knew in his heart that if every county in the Song Dynasty built an academy, it would be a matter of eternal benefit to the entire Song Dynasty.

In the present Song Dynasty, there are many aristocratic families. It is almost impossible for the children of ordinary people to study in private schools. Talents can only be selected from the children of a small number of powerful people. In the future, there will be fewer and fewer people available.

As long as the academy is built, there will be a steady stream of talents emerging. If a dynasty wants to prosper, it must have talents.

Talents do not emerge out of thin air. There are very few people who can rely on self-study to become talented. Once the academy is established, talented people in the entire Song Dynasty will inevitably emerge like bamboo shoots after a spring rain, and the entire Song Dynasty will be more prosperous.

"Your Highness, you are welcome. I can handle everything on my own." Zhai Fu did not expect Zhao Yunfei to be so polite that he would let his son come and entertain him personally.

Although he was far away in Jinling City, he had heard of the name of Zhao Tuo. The other party was Zhao Yunfei's most valued son, who was both civil and military, and was almost Zhao Yunfei's designated successor.

"Teacher Zhai, do you think highly of me?"

Zhao Yunfei pretended to be angry and asked Zhai Fu.

"How dare I? I am just a scholar and dare not trouble the young prince." Zhai Fu was a little flattered. When he was in Jinling Academy, many teachers and instructors were unwilling to come to King Dongxuan to discuss the construction of the academy. They all felt that King Dongxuan would find ways to make things difficult for them.

They all heard that King Dong Xuan had a domineering personality. If they were not careful and provoked the other party, he would directly draw his sword and kill people, which would be a waste of their lives.

In the end, Zhang Ling originally wanted to come to see Zhao Yunfei in person. Zhai Fu thought that it was very unsafe for Zhang Ling to travel thousands of miles at such an old age, so he volunteered to come.

"You're welcome, Mr. Zhang. My father admires scholars the most in his life. As his son, I also admire scholars very much."

"My father mentioned to me before that if I didn't have so much to do, he would send me to Jinling Academy to study." Zhao Tuo said slowly with a smile on his face.

Pang Yi smiled faintly: "Teacher Zhai, please don't be polite. The prince is eager to seek talents. It is a blessing for the prince to build an academy in the prince's territory."

"Zhai will respectfully obey your orders."

Zhai Fu knew that it would be inappropriate to continue to refuse, so he had to bite the bullet and agree.

"Teacher Zhai, please!"

Zhao Tuo made a gesture of invitation to Zhai Fu, and the two of them walked out of the reception room.

"Our king is not a simple person!"

After seeing Zhai Fu and Zhao Tuo leave, Zhao Yunfei leaned back on the chair, narrowed his eyes slightly, and spoke slowly, with an intriguing solemnity in his tone.

"Your Majesty, in my opinion, this state guardian is truly a man of great talent and vision. At such a young age, his future is truly limitless."

Pang Yi has been with Zhao Yunfei for so many years and has always been by his side. Naturally, his vision and ability are beyond doubt.

"As long as the academy of the entire Song Dynasty is established, as time goes by, I am afraid that not only the talents of the entire Song Dynasty will gather here, but also people from all over the Nine Provinces will flock to our Song Dynasty crazily just to study."

Pang Yi knew very well in his heart that now in the whole Jiuzhou, almost all the people who had the opportunity to study were children from good family backgrounds.

However, in the entire Kyushu, people with good family background only account for about 10% at most, and the rest have no chance to study at all.

Now that the academy of the Song Dynasty provides them with such an opportunity, it will surely gather a large number of talents in the future. He cannot imagine how prosperous it will be in a few decades.

"Ugh!"

Zhao Yunfei couldn't help but sigh and raised his head to look in the distance outside the hall, which was the direction of Jinling City. When this hall was built, almost all the gates faced Jinling City. His purpose was to imply that he, Zhao Yunfei, would definitely go to Jinling City in the future.

"How did my niece get the luck to find such a talent?" He then seemed a little helpless and said slowly.

Pang Yi took a deep breath and said, "Your Majesty, I think you can take some time to meet this state ruler and have a good talk with him."

"If you have the vision of the prince and cooperate with the ability of this state guardian, unifying the nine states in the future may not be impossible."

Zhao Yunfei turned his head and looked at Pang Yi with a smile on his face: "I am really surprised that the military advisor can praise one person so many times."

Zhao Yunfei knew very well that the pale-faced scholar Pang Yi had followed him for so many years. Not only was he arrogant, but he also had great abilities and vision. He had hardly ever heard Pang Yi praise someone like this.

"Your Majesty, I am indeed not as good as him."

Pang Yi bowed slightly and sighed sincerely.

……

"Have you heard that in every county of our Great Song Dynasty, we will build a college."

"I've heard about this, too. It's said that no matter if you're rich or poor, as long as you're old enough, you can enter the academy to study."

"I also heard that each academy not only teaches reading, but also has a martial arts academy that teaches martial arts training and leading troops in battle."

"Zhen Guojun is truly a blessing to us common people. I hope this academy can be built soon so that my grandson can catch up."

Throughout the Song Dynasty, many people's after-dinner topics all revolved around the recent construction of academies, and they were all very surprised.

In the past, if ordinary people wanted to study or practice martial arts, they had to try their best to be sent to a wealthy family to serve as a book boy for the young master.

As academies were built in various places, even those who did not have money at home could join the academy to study, which sounded exciting.

"As long as my son can study in the academy built by the King of Zhenguo, I will definitely make him serve the court and be loyal to the country in the future."

"Zhen Guojun established the academy for ordinary people like us. We must not let him down in the future. We are all his backers."

"If anyone dares to say bad things about the Lord of the State from now on, I will beat him to death."

People on the streets and alleys talk about it with relish.

Every family had children who were sent to wealthy families to serve as servants or apprentices. Now that the academy was built, they would no longer have to send their children to be slaves.

……

Changlin County, Yunshui City.

Chen Yu became the county magistrate overnight, and he was glad for the decision he made.

"Mr. County Magistrate, there is a teacher from Jinling Academy outside. He said that he came to Changlin County to build an academy in the name of the king."

A guard quickly came to Chen Yu.

"The teacher of Jinling Academy? Let's build an academy and invite him in."

Chen Yu also heard some news recently, that is, the King of the State, Ye Feng, ordered that academies should be built in each of the 17 counties of the entire Song Dynasty.

When he heard the news, he felt his heart pounding and he couldn't help but feel extremely excited. His journey to study was extremely difficult.

He often had to walk more than ten miles to reach the private school teacher's home. In order to borrow the teacher's books, he had to clean the whole house inside and out for the private school teacher every three days, and often had to do other physical work.

"As ordered!"

Not long after the guard turned and left, he brought the scholar in a gray robe to Chen Yu and bowed slightly: "I am Zuo Tao, a teacher from Jinling Academy, and I am here to meet Mr. Chen."

"It's Teacher Zuo. Please take a seat."

Chen Yu was also familiar with the name of Jinling Academy. If he had not met Zhao Changlin and felt that he was a wise leader, he would have wanted to go to Jinling Academy and ask for a teaching position.

"I believe Lord Chen should have heard about why I came to Yunshui City." Zuo Tao did not dare to delay. He sat down and bowed to Chen Yu.

"Indeed, I have heard about the construction of the academy, but I don't know the specific details. I hope Teacher Zuo can tell me in detail."

Chen Yu had heard about the construction of the academy, but he had no definite information on how it would be built. However, he was in favor of building the academy in Changlin County.

"It is the intention of the Zhen Guojun to build a college in each county, divided into a literary college and a martial arts college. Every child who is six years old or older can voluntarily come to the college to study."

"After four years of study, there will be an assessment at the age of ten. Those who pass can choose to continue their studies in the liberal arts college or martial arts college according to their specialties, and those who fail will be eliminated directly. Of course, if those who fail still want to continue their studies, they will need to pay a high price."

"After further study at the academy, when you turn sixteen, you can choose to join the army or become an official. If you choose neither, that's fine too."

When Zuo Tao first heard this idea, he found it incredible, but he did not expect that within just a few days, Zhang Ling would invite everyone to discuss the construction of the academy.

"Wonderful! It's really wonderful! The King of Zhen Guo is truly a man of great talent!"

After listening to this, Chen Yu couldn't help but slam the table and stand up, his face full of admiration.

"Teacher Zuo, I think the academy in Changlin County should be built in Yunshui City. I will take you to see a good location and I guarantee you will be satisfied."

Chen Yu stood up and pulled Zuo Tao toward the outside of the county magistrate's mansion. After a short while, they arrived at a large martial arts square.

"This is where Zhao Changlin trained the Changlin Army. The ground is spacious and can be used to build an academy. Changlin County will no longer need to station troops, so keeping this ground is useless. Using it to build an academy can also serve as a warning to students."

As the Changlin Army was taken away by Wu Jie, the martial arts square became empty. In the future, the army of the Song Dynasty will inevitably gather in a few places. In most counties, the soldiers will be taken away, and at most there will be some guards and constables.

"This is indeed a good place. After I go back and report to the dean, the Ministry of Revenue will allocate money. I will have to trouble Master Chen to coordinate and arrange, recruit workers, and then we can start construction."

Zuo Tao was very satisfied with the venue in front of him. The academy being built would probably be much larger than Jinling Academy. When students practiced martial arts in the future, the huge martial arts square would have everything they needed, all of which were ready-made resources.

"Ok!"

Chen Yu's face was full of smiles. Building the academy would benefit future generations.

In the future, as long as all the 17 academies of the Song Dynasty are built, the entire Song Dynasty will only become more prosperous.

……

Dongyou County, County Magistrate's Office.

"Master Xun, I am Wu Hao, a teacher at Jinling Academy. I have come here to assist Master Xun in building the academy in Dongyou County."

A man with a slightly sturdy figure, a round head, and a bit fat, but with strong cultivation, came to Xun Heng. He was responsible for conveying orders and assisting in the construction of the academy in Dongyou County.

"Instructor Wu must have been exhausted from the long journey. Let's go have a meal first and chat while we eat." Xun Heng took Wu Hao and walked out of the room.

"Teacher Wu, don't worry. I have already made arrangements for the construction of the academy. From now on, our academy in Dongyou County will be called Dongyou Academy."

"All the books of the Xun family over the past two hundred years can be transferred to Dongyou Academy." Xun Heng had a smile on his face, but he couldn't help but sigh that the idea of ​​building an academy in every county was really ingenious, and the Song Dynasty would surely rise in the future.

"I would like to offer a toast to Lord Xun for your generosity." Wu Hao picked up the glass and drank it all in one gulp, his face full of admiration.

He knew very well that over the past two hundred years, the Xun family had not only various ancient books, but also various cultivation techniques and martial arts moves, which were all priceless treasures.

"Teacher Wu, let us both toast to the King of the State who is far away in Jinling City. With him in the Song Dynasty, he will surely have a place in the Nine Provinces in the future."

Xun Heng felt excited when he thought about building a college in every county. In the whole Nine Provinces, even the Qin Dynasty far away in the east could not achieve such a feat.

"Yeah……"

The two men filled their glasses respectively, raised their glasses towards the direction of Jinling City, and drank them all in one gulp.

……

Yan Shiqi, the prefect of Liuchang County, was very enthusiastic when he heard about the construction of the academy.

Nanjun Su family, Su Chen thought about how he, the young master of the Su family, also had to go to Jinling Academy to study. Now he was very excited to be able to build an academy in Luofu City. He simply did not want the money from the court and submitted a memorial to the court, stating that all expenses of the academy would be borne by the Su family in the future.

When Wang Huanzhi, the prefect of Huainan County, heard about the construction of the academy, he was so happy that he cried. He immediately arranged for people to build the academy.

In this way, throughout the Song Dynasty, the construction of academies became a big deal, and some common people joined in the construction without asking for any wages.

It seemed that at this moment, the entire Song Dynasty became united as one, and the only thing in their eyes was the academy.
