After breaking off relations, the prince's family regretted it for the rest of their lives.

Grant marriage!

Every cell in Chen Changan's body was rejecting it.

The reason why he surrendered to the emperor was because the emperor held his lifeline to the State of Qi. How could he be related to the emperor?

Chen Changan shook his head like a rattle: "Your Majesty, I beg you to take back your order!"

"The princess is the daughter of a dragon, and I am only a lowly commoner. We are not a good match. Isn't this rude to the beautiful lady?"

"I dare not obey your order!"

Zhao Qingcheng was a little surprised.

If it were someone else, it would be impossible to have a father-in-law and son-in-law relationship with the emperor.

How could Chen Changan refuse?

Xiang Jian sneered slightly.

Chen Changan's refusal was genuine, which made him realize that Chen Changan was not interested in this and only wanted to use the royal family as a springboard.

Xiang Jian did not say anything more: "My words are golden, how can you refuse them?"

"Step back. I will think about it carefully and talk about it later."

Chen Changan retreated in fear.

Your Majesty, we can’t talk about this later!

It’s too late now!

……

In the mansion of the number one scholar, seventy million taels of silver were piled up in the hall.

In the candlelight, the silver light intertwined, like a dazzling galaxy, reflecting Zhou Qiankun's excited and flushed face.

These were all earned by Chen Changan from scratch in just half a year!

It’s also his credit!

It really proves what Hu Deyong said, counting money makes my hands cramp!

"Brother, didn't you say you were going to Qi? How can you invest in a bank?"

Li Zhaoyao rushed to Baidi from Jiangdu. Seeing so much silver, he was really going crazy.

I grew up in an orphanage, how could I have ever seen such a grand scene?

Luxury and wealth!

"Because only money houses can touch gold and exchange silver for gold."

The purification of the gold of the Great Chu is in the hands of the royal family.

Chen Changan had no choice but to do this.

"Also, the bank can gather the idle silver in the market as quickly as possible, and then..."

Chen Changan gritted his teeth and kept silent.

Of course he had to give the people's money, as it was all their hard-earned money. Chen Changan would feel uneasy if he ran away with the money.

However, those people who gave money to support Chen Fusheng's rebellion in his previous life...

As long as their money is in the bank, do they want to take it back?

It’s simply a fool’s errand!

Chen Changan looked at Li Zhaoyao and asked, "How are the hired workers of Zhuangyuan Express? Have they all come to Baidi City?"

Li Zhaoyao was in charge of this area and nodded immediately, saying, "They arrived three days ago and have rented a house, ready to get started."

"Our employees ride scooters and walk around the streets of major residential areas, taking orders from customers and preparing the corresponding food for them. The development is relatively slow."

"But Jiangdu is developing very well and may soon break even."

Chen Changan nodded, as long as things went smoothly.

Li Zhaoyao slapped his forehead and grinned, "Brother, I asked me to tell you..."

"Many wealthy families in Jiangdu have developed skin diseases. People in Jiangdu are saying that they are caused by wearing the latest colorful clothes produced by Nishangfang."

"My little sister said, should I give your elder sister a warning? If she continues like this..."

Chen Changan was finally happy: "Chen Hongluo is seeking death herself, why should I remind her?"

"My younger sister said that after all, you are siblings, and we can't just stand by and watch you die."

Chen Changan sneered and remained silent.

In her previous life, the colorful clothes that Chen Hongluo made by soaking medicinal herbs occupied most of the market and even flowed into the imperial palace, making the princess unable to face people.

The emperor is furious!

But because it was the property of King Huainan, he did not kill him.

After losing a lot of money, Nishangfang completely disappeared from the world!

Can Chen Changan be blamed for this?

"What my little sister said makes sense. If you want to save me, I will do it."

Chen Changan smiled meaningfully and waved at Li Zhaoyao.

"You have come from afar, so rest here today."

"Looking at the time, today is the day I start studying at the Imperial College. I have to go see if there are any connections I can use."

Chen Changan waved to Li Zhaoyao, and Zhou Qiankun drove him to the Imperial College.

Taixueyuan, the highest institution of learning in Da Chu.

The vermilion gate is solemn and the building is magnificent.

The spacious classrooms are arranged in an orderly manner, with flying eaves and brackets, and an antique style.

The students of Taixue Academy were dressed in uniform school uniforms. Some held books and read aloud, some gathered in groups of three or five to discuss academic matters, and some sat upright and listened to the teachings of their teachers.

The sound of reading aloud, interwoven with the singing of birds, forms a harmonious melody.

Chen Changan had no interest in poetry and came to a not-so-popular engineering college.

Other colleges teach students how to be officials and understand the people's sentiments, so that after graduation they can at least become professionals in a certain field or aspect.

In modern terms, it means an expert.

But 90% of the experts’ suggestions will cause dissatisfaction among the people.

Come to think of it, how can a group of experts who have never been to the fields guide farmers on how to farm?

It’s just playing the piano randomly!

The School of Engineering is different.

The ministry talents trained here mainly can work in construction, resource management, or industrial technology after graduation.

The Great Chu does not value talents in this area, and the highest position is only the third rank.

The so-called strange and lewd techniques refer to the School of Engineering.

The dean of the School of Engineering was named Zhu Zigeng. When he saw Chen Changan coming over, he was surprised.

"Sir Chen, you will be canonized by the Emperor and will be a fourth-rank official when you enter the court."

"With such a promising future, he ended up in an engineering school... Isn't this a waste of time and ruining his bright future?"

How could Zhu Zigeng believe that a top scholar and a fourth-rank official would come to his engineering college?

Unscientific, so unscientific!

Chen Changan was very humble and did not dare to show any disrespect to Zhu Zigeng because of his official position.

"President Zhu, I am a pariah, how can I talk about my future?"

"Since I couldn't get along with the children of the rich and powerful, I studied with Dean Zhu."

"I implore Dean Zhu to take the trouble to teach carefully."

Zhu Zigeng shook his head and chuckled.

I’m afraid that the top scholar doesn’t know the hard work of the engineering school, so he has only come here to study for a few days.

Zhu Zigeng did not refuse: "Master Chen, I wonder what you want to study?"

"gunpowder."

Chen Changan had a plan when he came.

Thermal weapons developed using gunpowder are much stronger than cold weapons. Chen Changan must make some plans, right?

When Zhu Zigeng heard that Chen Changan wanted to research gunpowder, he was speechless.

The reason why gunpowder is called "medicine" is because it was developed for the purpose of curing diseases.

How many emperors throughout the ages have pursued immortality?

Even Xiang Jian is no exception.

Chen Changan is interested in gunpowder. Isn't this for the sake of immortality or to flatter the emperor?

Zhu Zigeng immediately lost interest: "The gunpowder workshop is on the east side of the Institute of Technology. Come on, I'll take you there."

Chen Changan followed Zhu Zigeng to the gunpowder workshop.

There are dozens of students here, calculating with abacus.

Zhu Zigeng waved his hand and said proudly: "These are the students who are developing the elixir of immortality for the emperor, but I think... this is a strange and lewd technique. How can a person be immortal?"

"Master Chen, can I teach you about the development of gunpowder and the proportions of various materials?"

Zhu Zigeng seemed impatient and Chen Changan shook his head.

"What Dean Zhu said is absolutely right. No one can escape birth, aging, sickness and death. The so-called immortality is nothing but empty talk."

"Dean, I have various mixtures here. Can I have someone develop one or two?"

Zhu Zigeng just sneered.

Look, the prescription is already prepared, and you still say you are not trying to flatter the emperor?

No. 1 scholar, you are so cunning!
