The big guy travels through the book and becomes the female supporting role, torturing the scumbag a

As soon as Emperor Taihe saw that Jiang Er allowed students to attend classes for free for seven days, he knew that Jiang Er was sure to win this time.

Originally, he was worried that these academies had just been built and would not be as popular as the several famous academies in Gusu.

Even if the academy is really built, it may not be able to recruit good teachers and students.

As a result, Jiang Er came up with a brilliant idea and allowed students to attend classes for free for seven days.

The assessment will be conducted again after seven days, allowing those who perform well to continue attending classes for free.

In this way, those from ordinary or even poor families will definitely go to the academy to try their luck.

If Jiang Er does this, he might be able to recruit a group of good students.

But in this way, the identity of the dean of the academy becomes of paramount importance.

Once those students become successful and pass the imperial examinations to become officials, they will become a considerable force!

As the Son of Heaven, Emperor Taihe has always been sensitive to such matters and naturally does not want to let this power be completely controlled by the Jiang family.

After what happened with the Chen family, even if he still doted on Concubine Jiang, he would still be wary of the Jiang family.

Otherwise, once the Jiang family becomes powerful, when Yang Tao comes to power in the future, the Jiang family will become an extremely powerful in-law!

There are many records in history books about the harm caused by external relatives interfering in politics. Emperor Taihe, as the emperor, has read a lot about it.

So after careful consideration, he decisively decided to take the academy into his own hands!

He has to be the dean of this academy himself!

Emperor Taihe decisively wrote a secret letter to Jiang Er and Luo Zheng respectively, and then arranged for the Black Kirin Guards to deliver them.

After reading the letter, Jiang Er was not surprised at all to see that it contained not only 20,000 taels of silver donated by Emperor Taihe, but also the name of the academy written in Emperor Taihe's own handwriting, as well as the request to become the dean.

If Emperor Taihe didn't want to be the dean, he would suspect that Emperor Taihe had a problem with his brain, and then take the initiative to invite the other party to be the dean.

He came to Gusu specially, donated money, and personally built the academy, all for the purpose of building reputation for the Jiang family and Concubine Jiang, but he never thought of bringing disaster to himself.

Naturally, Emperor Taihe would concurrently serve as the dean of this academy.

Otherwise, how could he feel at ease?

Anyway, Emperor Taihe is in the palace and it is impossible for him to come to Gusu.

So what if I become the dean?

The one who actually handles things is Jiang Er!

On the contrary, Emperor Taihe became the dean, and he had no worries at all, so he could do what he wanted.

Emperor Taihe became the president of the academy. He wanted to see how many people dared to continue to act arrogantly and were unwilling to be teachers.

Jiang Er smiled complacently, put the letter away carefully, and then took the name of the academy written by Emperor Taihe himself and asked someone to make a plaque.

This time he not only wants to make a plaque, but also build an archway!

The dean of their academy is the current emperor, so he must be treated with dignity!

After arranging things, Jiang Er couldn't wait to run to Xie Xiu to show off.

When Xie Xiu learned that Emperor Taihe was going to be the dean, he was not surprised and even congratulated Jiang Er.

Jiang Er smiled happily: "I am very happy. This academy is not only my contribution, you also have a share."

Xie Xiu didn't deny it, but smiled and said, "There's no need to rush to publicize this matter, otherwise it will seem too frivolous. It's better to wait until the archway is built and let those people discover it themselves. Then we can have someone secretly spread some information. We can wait until the academy is officially unveiled before announcing the news."

Jiang Er nodded: "We need to wait. The poetry competition just ended. If we release the news now, people will inevitably think too much."

Cao Wanning's poem had just been spread. How would people feel about Emperor Taihe if the news was released at this time?

It doesn’t matter what the world thinks, the key is what Emperor Taihe would think?

Once there are bad rumors in the streets and they reach the ears of Emperor Taihe, it will become their fault.

Jiang Er's heart tightened, and he reflected secretly that he seemed to have become a little too proud of himself recently.

If Xie Xiu hadn't reminded him, he really wanted to release the news as soon as possible.

It seems like he's been having too many good things lately, and he's a little confused. He needs to spend more time with Xie Xiu and get closer to him.

His sister had not yet become the queen, and Yang Tao had not yet become the crown prince.

Where did this go?

After Jiang Er returned, he immediately reflected on himself, and then carefully considered what to do next.

On the other side, Xie Ying was also looking for Situ Yuan to discuss something.

The Chinese New Year is just one month away, and Situ Yuan must return to the capital. He cannot stay in Gusu for too long.

So Xie Ying went to see Situ Yuan this time to ask him about the progress of the new carriage.

She not only wants to do the rickshaw business, but also the new horse-drawn carriage business.

The so-called new-style carriage is a new Chinese-style carriage that has been improved based on the design of a Western-style carriage.

Now that rubber and tires were available, the design of the carriage could naturally be modified.

If Situ Yuan and Jiang Er could ride in such a carriage when they return to Beijing, how many people would it attract?

The effect of this advertisement is much more impressive than any TV commercial in later generations.

After all, TV commercials are screened, unlike theirs, which are shown live!

Xie Ying really didn't want to miss this great opportunity, so she ran straight to Situ Yuan to urge him to make progress.

During the previous competition, they took the opportunity to showcase the rickshaw.

Sure enough, as soon as the competition ended, many people asked about rickshaws, and many wealthy people in the city wanted to order them.

Unfortunately, the current rubber production is still too small and the supply is limited.

So Xie Ying had people buy up large tracts of saline-alkali land in and around Gusu, intending to plant rubber grass next.

Of course, the rubber trees were not left behind.

They had bought land in Qiongzhou a long time ago and planted the rubber tree seeds processed by Xie Ying.

Anyway, the climate there is warm, so it is no problem to sow in autumn and winter.

It’s just that rubber trees take too long to grow, and it takes several years before they can be tapped, which is too late.

Xie Ying couldn't ripen too many fruits prematurely, so she could only turn her attention to the rubber grass.

Rubber grass can be grown in saline-alkali land. Although one plant does not produce much rubber, its growing period is short and it can be harvested within three months of planting.

The rhizomes can be used to extract rubber, and the leaves can be used to make wine and even extract sugar.

Even without refining, the harvest from rubber and winemaking alone can bring in huge profits.

What's more, Xie Ying was planting in saline-alkali land.

Saline-alkali land is not conducive to the growth of most crops and is considered poor quality land, so it is very cheap.

However, Xie Ying believed that once she grew rubber grass and produced rubber and alcohol, the price of the saline-alkali land would surely rise significantly.

She has made a contribution to the country.

Xie Ying happily gave herself a big thumbs-up, then asked Situ Yuan, "How long will it take for the carriage to be completed? Can you finish it before returning to Beijing this time?"

Situ Yuan sighed helplessly, "It's still being debugged, but it should be ready soon. You know, without the machine tools of later generations, even if I had some simple ones built, they would still be far inferior to those of later generations."

Xie Ying patted his shoulder like a great man: "I know. Then you should work harder. When you return this time, you should blind those people's eyes!"
