In front of the empty gate, Su Chen said to Qianniu Guards:
"Let brothers keep an eye on these bastards first and don't let them get close to the school and cause trouble!"
Then he said to the gentlemen: "Get the student certificates for the students who are staying. From now on, teachers and students will have access to the school based on their certificates, and no one else is allowed in!"
After giving the instructions, Su Chen took Wu Mei and the gentlemen into the school.
Students in the school are divided into three levels: junior, middle and senior.
There are the most junior students, and they were originally divided into four or five classes.
However, most of the people who were expelled for causing trouble this time were from the junior class. Nowadays, junior students can probably be filled in one class.
The advanced class originally had the smallest number of people, with only one class. Most of the students came from the children of Sujia Village and craftsmen's families in the workshops, as well as the second-generation nobles who came in from Li Ersai.
Su Chen went to the advanced class and took a look. There was not much change in the number of people. The main reason was that the second generation of the nobles had lost a lot, and Li Er's two sons were also missing!
Wu Mei did not disappoint Su Chen. She taught the first class very well. Although she was still a little nervous and shy, she was already very good.
After expelling the troublemaking students, less than one-third of the students in the school remained.
But most of these are good students who are diligent and studious.
After this incident, Su Chen formulated some school rules and disciplines, and the school began to become more formal!
Everything that happened in Guanzhou Academy quickly spread throughout the Tang Dynasty!
After everyone heard about what Su Chen had done, most of them scoffed!
Originally, there were many people who wanted their children to come to the school to make some connections because of Su Chen's title as Protector of the Kingdom and his status as prince, but now they are afraid to avoid it!
Li Er was also very angry after receiving Li Ke's letter: What does Su Chen want to do?
He actually asked a little girl to be his son's teacher. This little girl was a maid who left the palace!
However, Li Er did not think that Su Chen was deliberately insulting his son, and finally pinched his nose and wrote to Li Ke and Li Zhen, asking them to adapt accordingly!
The two sons are no longer young. It’s time for them to have some ability to make their own decisions. If a man can bend and stretch, it’s no big deal if he suffers a little humiliation!
Li Ke and Li Zhen were dumbfounded after receiving Li Er's reply!
Randomly?
Su Chen has already expelled 70% of the students in the school, and the two of them can no longer enter the school!
On the day of Wu Mei's first class, the two of them were smart and hid in the workshop instead of going to school. They thought it was a strategy to move forward and retreat freely.
Unfortunately, when they arrived at the school gate the next day, they were stopped by the guard.
All students enter and exit the school with their student ID cards. Those without ID cards are not allowed to enter!
The guard with scars all over his body and a lame leg was very tough. Even if Li Ke and Li Ke showed their identities as princes, they would not be able to do it.
No one will be allowed in without a student ID!
Li Ke grabbed Li Zhen who was about to lose his temper:
"This is a veteran who crawled out from among the dead. If he is angered, he really dares to beat us up!"
"Then what should we do?
It seems that Father’s letter does not mean that we should withdraw from the school!”
Li Ke gritted his teeth and said, "Let's go! Go and see the Lord Protector!"
"At least we have an excuse, he can't just fire us!"
In the backyard of the Governor's Mansion, Su Chen looked at Li Ke and Li Zhen who were coming.
"You two know how to be clever! Forget it, I won't give you any common knowledge this time!"
"You want to go to school, right?
Let Wu Mei take you in tomorrow, and then go get your student ID card yourself."
When Li Zhen heard that Wu Mei had to take him in, she suddenly looked reluctant: "Ah! I still need to..."
"Ah for what?
If you don’t want to, you can go back to Chang’an by yourself!”
Li Ke hurriedly pulled Li Zhen, who was still stubborn, and said, "What the Protector said is that tomorrow we will be waiting for the martial arts instructor at the school gate!"
Su Chen looked at Li Zhen being dragged away by Li Ke and said in his heart: Are you still unwilling?
Historically, after Wu Meiniang came to power, your family would have died miserably!
…
When Yan Shigu heard about what Su Chen had done, he almost stopped laughing: "Haha! Su Chen can really go against the grain and let a slave be his teacher. I wonder who will go to his school in the future!"
"But I heard that there are still many people left behind!"
Shangguan Yi said worriedly.
"A bunch of craftsmen's sons, just despicable people!"
Yan Shigu looked contemptuous.
"And those few who are willing to humble themselves, let me see how shameful they will be when they come out to see others!"
"Hey, it's a pity for the two princes. Originally, they still had some reputation and could do some work..."
After Kong Yingda heard about the situation in Guanzhou Academy, he frowned: "Did I guess wrong that Su Chen didn't take the opportunity to promote his heresy?"
"No! Su Chen is insidious and cunning. He must have a back-up plan, so we have to keep an eye on him!"
Kong Yingda was pacing in the study, then read an article on the table, and suddenly he felt angry and filled with hatred!
"Xu Jingzong! You are a despicable and shameless villain! Even the reputation of the dead will not be spared. You will not die well!"
What is on the table is "On Traitors" written by Xu Jingzong under Su Chen's orders!
Because of this article, Xu Jingzong has become famous recently!
Li Er even issued a special decree to praise Xu Jingzong, and his official rank was raised one level!
However, Xu Jingzong did not show any happiness at all, and hid in the Guanzhou Governor's Mansion all day long, not daring to go out!
He knows that many people hate him now!
Seeing that the school was slowly getting on the right track, Su Chen breathed a sigh of relief: This is just the beginning. The power of the school will slowly appear after the first batch of students graduate and enter the society!
Three things to do before leaving Guanzhou, finally finalized one!
The development plan for Guanzhou is in progress.
Railways and trains are also progressing well,
Su Chen lazily prepared to watch the test of the second locomotive.
We definitely can't just build one locomotive. Su Chen plans to build a total of three locomotives before the railway is built to Chang'an.
One is placed in Guanzhou, one is placed in Chang'an, and the other is kept for later use!
Today the second locomotive will be tested with nine carriages.
Now that the workers are skilled in technology, Xu Jingzong has also brought out an efficient management team, and a large number of prisoners of war have been put in place, the railway construction speed is many times faster than before!
According to the current situation, Su Chen estimates that the railway will be built to Chang'an in less than two months.
With the experience of manufacturing and testing the first locomotive, the second one will be much easier.
Strictly speaking, today is the real first train operation test. In the past, it was either an empty locomotive or two or three carriages, which was not a complete train at all!
Watching the long train clattering away from the station,
Si'er pouted: "Brother Su Chen doesn't mean what he said. He hasn't seen the carriage he promised Si'er yet!"
"Obviously the long carriage is empty, but we won't let Si'er get on!"
Changle glared at her: "Those are truck boxes, didn't you see the rails inside?
If you don’t behave honestly, I’ll send you to Chang’an!”
