In the autumn of the fourth year of Zaiqian, the school finally started.
On the first day of the new semester, Li Ang took Chai Chai on a formal tour of the campus - what amazed Chai Chai most in the academy was not the publication house known as the lifeblood of the Yu Kingdom, nor the library that collected all kinds of books from all over the world. , not even Dongjun Tower, which houses countless alienated objects.
But the canteen...
The Xuegong Canteen occupies a huge area and is divided into upper and lower floors. There are hundreds of well-paid celebrity chefs, cooks, and helpers inside, who can cook local dishes from all over the country.
Because the academy is often understaffed (many doctoral students and senior students often go out),
The canteen chefs don't have to work every day, but can rotate and work part-time at Chang'an Restaurant on weekdays - which means the weekly menu is not fixed, depending on who is the chef on duty that day.
Chai Chai is very satisfied with this. Unfixed recipes are more interesting than fixed ones.
And because the Yu State gives huge subsidies to the academy every year, the dishes in the cafeteria are also ridiculously cheap.
The dishes that cost hundreds or even hundreds of yuan in Chang'an Restaurant may only cost twenty or thirty yuan, or even less, in the cafeteria. It fully meets the needs of students with different financial backgrounds.
Of course, there may be some students who are not rich in the academy, but there is absolutely no one who is poor or even destitute and cannot afford to eat meat - just a student ID is enough for the wealthy families in Chang'an City to try their best to send money and make a good friend. Fate.
The most direct way to stuff money is to recruit a son-in-law or get married.
A slightly more euphemistic approach would be to provide financial support under the guise of "we have relatives in our hometown" or "we have old friends in our ancestors".
If it really doesn't work, you can still "hire" disciples from the academy to tutor the children at home, and then give you high commissions.
There are only a few people who give money simply and rudely.
"You can easily earn tens of thousands of dollars with a student ID card..."
Chai Chai was stunned and said: "Then if I were shameless and ran to a few more stores, wouldn't I be able to get a hundred thousand yuan or even more?"
"Theoretically, it is possible, but except for those businessmen who are so poor that they only have money and are obsessed with pursuing social status, the wealthy people in Chang'an will basically not take advantage of them without thinking."
Li Ang explained casually: "To a large extent, they also look at who they choose. Before spending money to make friends, they will also evaluate the potential of the academy disciples.
What they pursue is that after ten or twenty years, the disciples they sponsor will climb to high positions and be able to provide help and convenience to their families."
"Oh."
Chai Chai nodded as if he understood something, "Are there any kind of academy disciples who take money and do nothing?"
"Very few."
Li Ang said casually: "The disciples of the Academy are equal to half of Chang'an people, and the people of Chang'an are still very proud. Accepting money is equivalent to owing a favor.
Moreover, the academy also has regulations. If someone inside uses the academy sign to brazenly cheat and seek benefits,
The highest penalty will be the destruction of student status."
Destroying student status is equivalent to social death within the academy. Former teachers and classmates will never interact with them again.
The only thing more serious than this is to commit an unforgivable crime like Jun Qianzi, be on the wanted list within the academy, and be hunted by the academy for life.
Since lunch time had not yet come, Li Ang took the reluctant Chai Chai, left the canteen, and went for a walk in the back mountain.
His house in the back mountain is still there, and because Chai Chai was also admitted to the academy, Li Ang bought a complete set of brand-new furniture such as bedding and a washbasin one day in advance and put them in the house.
He and Chai Chai are both in the academy. If school ends too late or something happens, they can even stay directly in the house in the back mountain without having to take a carriage back to Jinchengfang.
From a selfish point of view, Li Ang himself also felt that living in the mountains behind the Academy was actually safer than living in Jinchengfang.
At least if something happens, the academic doctors can rush to support instantly.
'In a sense, this can be regarded as a school district house. It is really a house built in the school.
Moreover, it is surrounded by mountains and rivers, and the security conditions are excellent - the teachers are more capable than the others.
When bad guys break in, it’s really the faculty and staff team warming up.’
Li Ang thought indifferently, and he and Chai Chai left the Houshan House and headed to the Supervisory Building.
Chai Chai is a freshman in Zaiqian's fourth year and attends classes on the first floor of the supervising building, while Li Ang and the others are already in their second year and their classes have been moved upstairs.
Walking into the classroom, the classmates were in groups, chatting about what they did during the holidays.
Yang Yu, who went on a hunting trip outside Chang'an City with others, was holding a wolf fang in his hand and talking about his experience with excitement.
"It's a pity that you didn't go, Risheng. A group of us made an appointment at that time. Whoever caught the least prey would be responsible for making fires, cooking, and cleaning up the camp.
I didn't encounter any prey larger than a rabbit in the forest all day, until a quarter of an hour before the whistle blew, I suddenly ran into a group of hungry coyotes with green eyes.
I sat on the horse and pulled out an arrow. One arrow shot through the wolf's eye socket. Then I put a micro-flame talisman on the knife. I raised the knife and lowered it. I raised the knife and lowered it. I chopped down three coyotes.
.
The remaining wolves that fled in panic were wiped out by me and others in one fell swoop.
If the wolf meat hadn't been roasted half-cooked and the wolf skins were torn, I would have had to take a few skins back to Chang'an as a souvenir."
"Tsk."
Li Wei curled his lips, "Why don't you tell the whole story? That group of coyotes wandered over from nowhere, and they were so hungry that their chests were touching their backs, and their backs were visible.
And the arrow that passed through the eye socket of the wolf was completely lucky.
As for using the Microflame Talisman in the forest, thanks to your imagination, it almost didn’t cause a forest fire."
"In the end, it wasn't because I didn't cultivate enough that I didn't get burned."
Yang Yu coughed awkwardly, turned to look at Yong Hongzhong and said, "Hongzhong, I heard that you went to Lingnan?"
"Well. I went to Lingnan to travel with my uncle."
Yong Hongzhong lifted a box from under the table. After opening the wooden box, it contained various gold ornaments and a gorgeous fan made of colorful bird feathers.
"Is this a Thousand Feather Fan?"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
A knowledgeable classmate was shocked and said: "The book said that it was made from the feathers of a thousand different kinds of birds. It has magical properties. It was specially used by the Xue people to worship the gods. It was lost fifty years ago.
”
"Yes."
Yong Hongzhong nodded, "I bought this thing in an antique store. It seems to be able to transmit human voices through the sound of wind, a bit like the wind communication technique of the Cloud Patrol Realm.
After school, I will ask Dr. Wei Shanjun to identify it to see if it is an alienated substance."
...You can buy alienated objects in antique shops on the street? What kind of luck?
The expressions on many students’ faces are extremely wonderful.
The school's attitude towards alienated substances is relatively flexible, and it is extremely cautious when dealing with alienated substances with unknown effects.
Those alienated substances that have long-term research experience and are determined to be harmless will also be used.
If it is determined that the Thousand Feather Fan has no obvious side effects, then Yong Hongzhong, as the discoverer, will own the property rights of the Thousand Feather Fan.
You can collect it yourself or sell it.
"I followed my clan brother to the northern border, and while discussing trade matters with the locals, I bought this with four hundred jars of wine."
Dou Chi from the Shaoqing family of Honglu Temple smiled slightly and took out a snow-white bearskin cloak. Its coat was shiny and smooth, like silk.
"Wow..."
There was another burst of exclamation in the classroom. Compared with the Thousand Feather Fan, all the students could more intuitively estimate the value of this cloak - there may not be such a complete and beautiful bearskin cloak in the Daming Palace.
"There are three pieces in total. The best one has been sent to the palace. The second piece is for the elders in the family, and this one is left to me."
Dou Chi put away his cloak with a slight look of satisfaction. Judging from his expression, he probably wished that winter was about to come and he could wear this dress and go out every day.
"But I'm not the furthest one yet,"
Dou Chi waved his hand and said, "Silang is the one."
Everyone looked at Pei Jing, who was holding a book and reading silently in the corner of the classroom.
Pei Jing felt the gaze, raised her head, and nodded calmly, "I followed my family's fleet to the edge of the Endless Sea to explore a new route to Japan."
"Endless sea..."
Yang Yu was slightly speechless. The Japanese and Yu kingdoms faced each other across the sea. There was a large sea area in between that was inhabited by various strange sea beasts. It was extremely dangerous and was considered an extension of the Endless Sea.
Private merchant ships had to make a long circuit to reach the Japanese country, which was time-consuming and labor-intensive, and they were also prone to encountering wind and waves and losing their cargo.
Therefore, there are always people who want to cross less dangerous areas in the endless sea, develop new routes, and shorten navigation time.
'The Pei family is actually willing to let Pei Jing run around...'
As soon as the question arose in Yang Yu's mind, he thought of the answer.
The Pei family has a great business and numerous guests. It is perfectly fine for three or four high-level practitioners to accompany Pei Jing to increase her experience.
Gee, it’s really annoying to compare people to each other.
Yang Yu smacked his lips, lamenting the gap between people.
"By the way, the sun rises,"
Li Wei reacted and turned to look at Li Ang, "I heard that your Cui Qiao was admitted to the Academy under your guidance? Congratulations, there are two Academy disciples in the family. You said you are not Wenquxing.
People believed it."
"No, Cui Qiao was able to get admitted to the Academy mainly thanks to the help of Le Ling and Fan Shuang."
Li Ang waved his hand quickly and said modestly: "I basically stayed at home during this holiday and did nothing."
In addition to publishing more than a dozen papers and going to Bingzhou to save Taiyuan County.
Li Ang added silently in his heart.
