Running is a compulsory course for every student at the Ningguta Advanced Military and Political School. Except for those who are too old and have weak legs and feet, everyone else has to run, regardless of whether they were the Prime Minister, the head of a ministry, or the governor-general.
It’s not that the school deliberately tormented these imperial veterans, it was actually too cold in Ningguta, especially in the winter when the water outside turned into ice, and the students had to work outdoors for at least two hours every day, so let the students
It is quite necessary to perform certain exercises before labor to ensure that various energy levels, including hormones, are activated in the body.
It is said that this is a health care package specially designated for the senior officials by His Majesty the Emperor, who is thousands of miles away in the capital.
It is said that if you move, you will be young in ten years; if you run, you will live to be old.
But to be honest, the hardware and software of "Ning Gaoxue" are quite good. Needless to say, the architectural style is an authentic Soviet-style small building that you have never seen before.
The living environment is also top-notch, divided into standard rooms, double rooms, large rooms, and special rooms according to the grade of the students.
As for food, it is stipulated that the staple food of students is 30 kilograms per person per month, mainly rice, noodles and miscellaneous grains, in addition to a certain amount of vegetables and meat.
Meat is just a waste, there is plenty outside the customs.
Those vegetables are really precious. I heard they are all flown from China.
It can be seen that His Majesty the Emperor sent the imperial ministers here together, not to burn bridges across the river as discussed by the outside world, but sincerely hope that the imperial ministers can have a complete rebirth in this bitter cold place outside the pass.
Overall, the students of "Ning Gaoxue" basically meet their nutritional needs during their study and exercise period. Apart from the lack of freedom, their lives are still very good.
According to the financial data of the House Committee, the average annual cost per student has exceeded one hundred taels, while the current per capita income of the empire according to the Ministry of Finance is only forty-five taels per year.
After the second principal, Minister of the Interior Fan Wei, took office, he allowed students' families to send money to the school out of humanitarian considerations. The money could be used by students to purchase other supplies needed for daily life.
Even some luxuries.
Such as Imperial brand cigarettes, Weixin brand soap, etc.
As long as the money is enough, students can even eat delicacies from the mountains and seas.
It is said that meals in the imperial dining room of the Forbidden City can also be ordered here.
But the delivery time will be longer, at least two months.
Students can also order major newspapers published in Guan Nei and Shenyang. Due to time constraints, they can usually only read those published one month ago.
This year, His Majesty the Emperor is making every effort to rectify corruption and crack down on various illegal activities. At the same time, he also vigorously advocates comprehensively revitalizing the economy. Therefore, Fan Wei opened two small shops in the school to purchase large quantities of goods from Shenyang and Guan Nei for students to purchase.
As a result, the business was booming. In just half a year, the profits of these two small shops reached more than 70,000 taels. This solved the operating capital problem of "Ning Gaoxue" and truly implemented His Majesty the Emperor's instructions on revitalizing the economy.
But soon, one of the small shops was auctioned off by His Majesty the Emperor’s fourth lady, Ms. Wu Qinglian, for a ten-year operating right for seventeen thousand taels.
As a large number of people within the pass migrated outside the pass, and the imperial court continued to escort serious criminals within the pass to outside the pass, the scale of Ningguta, a prisoner's exile, became larger and larger.
As of November, the population of the old and new cities of Ningguta alone exceeded 100,000, and the surrounding settlements also had about 30,000 people. This has greatly promoted the development of the Ningguta area and effectively strengthened the military in the area.
Defense force.
I heard that Shenyang is planning to propose to the imperial court to set up a government in Ningguta and station a town-sized army here. If this matter goes smoothly, Ningguta will become an outpost and logistics transfer station for the reform empire's northward march.
Compared with his predecessor Yang Zhi, Fan Wei, the principal, is more lenient in all aspects, so he allows students to talk during exercises.
Prior to this, running and making noise was strictly prohibited.
The leader of the third group of students is Ji Yun, former Prime Minister and Deputy Minister of the Cabinet.
This person was dismissed from all posts and sent to "Ning Gaoxue" due to his involvement in Jiangsu Governor Hao Shuo's case of bribing cabinet ministers a year ago. Except for Asiha, all members of the first cabinet of the reform government included the emperor's father-in-law. The Prime Minister and Minister Bo Qingquan all gathered at Ninggu Pagoda.
Originally, as Lao Ji, he could live in a special room, which meant living alone. However, Lao Ji felt that this was too lonely, so he took the initiative to apply for transfer to a standard room and share a room with three other criminal officials.
Not long after, Lao Ji took the initiative to propose to the school to set up a clothing sewing group, which was to organize a group of students led by him to mend the clothes of other students. This proposal was immediately supported by Principal Fan, and was praised throughout the school as a model of student self-reliance.
The sewing group became more and more famous. Prime Minister Bo Qing'e, Deputy Prime Minister Queenie, and former Minister of Military Aircraft Liang Guozhi, who came to the school, also reported to the school one after another and asked to join the sewing group.
Even Wang Zhian, the emperor's brother-in-law who committed the crime and the former Minister of Rites, joined the sewing team as a quality inspector. Facts have proved that no one is more suitable for this "fault-picking" position than Wang Zhian, who accepts death.
As the sewing team's business improves and the number of team members increases, all students in "Ninggao School" are finally completely self-sufficient in dressing matters, saving the school at least one thousand taels of funds every year.
For this reason, Fan Wei specially submitted a commutation document to Lao Ji, and finally His Majesty the Emperor agreed to lower Lao Ji's student period from three years to two and a half years.
As usual, the students participating in the running exercise chatted while running.
Since the empire is implementing His Majesty the Emperor's policy of advancing northward and regards the Russians as the empire's biggest potential enemy, the army has been active outside the border in the past two years and has had several small-scale military conflicts with the Russians.
There is news that the imperial court is likely to launch a general extraction operation against the major Russian strongholds next year. The students have started active discussions around this general extraction operation.
Most people believe that His Majesty the Emperor's decision is wise, and they strongly support the imperial army in launching the most ferocious attack on the Rakshasa people in history.
"If we really have a big fight with the Rakshasa people next year, I am willing to donate 5,000 taels as military expenses."
The person who said this was Queenie, the captain of the second brigade.
As the most loyal associate of His Majesty the Emperor in the past, Queenie made the political mistake of not eradicating the legacy of Aisin Gioro during his tenure. He openly criticized the people of the capital in newspapers as a foolish idea to request that Qianlong be brought to trial. A few months later, he was exposed by the Internal Affairs Committee for intervening in local project construction and accepting bribes of more than 1.7 million taels.
Although his wife Dayu'er went to his sixth brother many times to intercede on his behalf, Queeni was dismissed from all posts and sent to Ningguta.
Fortunately, he still had half a year to finish his studies. He was also disillusioned with the court. He planned to go into business completely after returning, set up a silk wholesale market in Jiangsu to make a fortune, and never pay attention to the affairs of the court again.
"This is a national war. Although we have made mistakes, we are still members of the country. When the time comes, we will have money and strength to fight."
Former Prime Minister Bo Qing'e, who was specially approved to return to Beijing to visit his grandson next month, was personally sent to Ninggu Pagoda by his son-in-law, but he did not complain at all about his son-in-law's "unfeeling", but was extremely supportive.
Because if we let the court continue to rot, no one will get any good results.
Hearing this, Lao Li, the former Chairman of the Gongjin Council, the Prime Minister and Deputy Minister of the first cabinet, and the Prime Minister of the second cabinet, hurriedly said: "By the way, Lao Bo, when you go back, remember to tell your family for me and call them
Use all your money to invest in industry, and don’t keep looking at the land in your hometown.”
Just as he was talking, he saw the school gate in front of him suddenly opened, and then hundreds of Forbidden Army soldiers with pheasant feathers on their heads rushed in, and then carriages one after another continued to drive into the campus.
President Li was overjoyed when he saw this: "Here comes a newcomer!"
Every time a new person comes, it is undoubtedly the happiest thing for this group of students, because it not only allows them to know the current trends in the court, but also allows them to have more fun educating new people besides boring study and labor.
However, the commotion in front of the crowd suddenly calmed down, and then they saw the students who were running and exercising kneeling down one after another, shouting at the top of their lungs that the emperor is not the emperor.
"emperor?!"
Both Lao Li and Lao Bo were shocked: The Japanese Six are here!
The two excitedly crossed the crowd, and saw the bastard they recognized standing in front of a carriage that had turned into ashes.
Who else could it be if it wasn’t Jia Zhuboge Liu, the Great Reform Emperor?
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!"
Lao Ji staggered forward, "I've been looking forward to the stars and the moon, but finally you are here!"
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!"
Queenie burst into tears. It had been three years, exactly three years, and he was finally able to see Long Yan again.
Well, he is still so heroic, so powerful, so eye-catching, and so stunning.
Hundreds of students just knelt on the ground and looked at their Emperor, shouting, crying, unable to help themselves, or trembling all over.
Many people's eyes are full of longing.
Now that the emperor is here, does it mean that these people can be rehabilitated?
"Yeah, we haven't seen each other in a few years. Have you gained a lot of weight?"
Looking at the familiar faces one after another in front of him, Jia Liu was also very excited. He subconsciously walked up to shake hands with these veterans one by one, but Fan Wei's voice came to his ears: "Student 608, please pay attention to your identity.
!”
Then two staff members came forward and stuffed a set of brand new student uniforms into Jia Liu's hands as well as basins, brushes, towels, bedding and other items necessary for students' daily life.
"Huh?"
"oh?"
"Hey?"
""
The campus of Nottingham University was completely silent. Hundreds of students were stunned by the scene before them. They couldn't react for a while, and their collective brains were short-circuited.
what's the situation?
Lao Ji rubbed his eyes and looked at the Six Emperors with some disbelief, who was holding clothes in his left hand and a small bucket in his right hand. After a while, he realized something, grinned at the corner of his mouth, and pointed a big smoking gun at Jia Liuyi with a look of gloating on his face.
