Of course, the people of Jingdong Business City hate Jiehe Business City!

Friends and businessmen are enemies, Ji Yi and Lu Jia asked these people if they wanted Wu Haogu to go out of business.

However, when they were fighting against Wu Haogu, they encountered two very big problems. First, there is a "cross-shareholding" between Jingdong Commercial City and Jiehe Commercial City - Ji Yi himself is a shareholder of Jiehe Commercial City, and there are also representatives of Ji Daguan in the Senate of Jiehe Commercial City!

At the same time, Wu Haogu's investment in Jingdong Shang City is also very huge, and Tianya Town, one of the main components of Jingdong Shang City, is invested and developed by Wu Haogu. In addition, the Haizhou Wu family, the Pan family, the Mi family, the Wang family and the Wang family who cooperated with Wu Haogu in the Jiehe Commercial Market have also invested heavily in Jingdong Commercial City.

Although Jingdong Commercial City is not completely autonomous for businessmen, but "co-governance of officials and businessmen", these shareholders with strong backgrounds still have a great say in the Jingdong City Elders' Association.

In addition, the headquarters of the Yuntai School Palace, which has great influence in Jiehe Commercial City, is actually Yuntai Mountain in Haizhou, which is separated from Jingdong Commercial Market by a strait.

Therefore, Jingdong Shangshi and Wu Haogu are inseparable! If Wu Haogu is beaten as a traitor or something, Jingdong Shangshi will definitely be implicated. For Zhang Dan, Zeng Bu, Ji Yi and Lu Jiawen, it is indispensable to lose a sum of blood.

Another problem is that Ji Yi and Lu Jia ask these people are now "imitators", and they have been imitating Wu Haogu's ideas. That is to say, the problems existing in Jiehe Commercial City are more or less existed in Jingdong Commercial City. If Cai Jing kills Jiehe Commercial City, then Jingdong Commercial City will also have to live in fear.

Besides, if Wu Haogu is beaten to death with a stick, who will they copy in the future?

For the New Party bigwigs such as Zhang Dian and Zeng Bu, supporting Cai Jing to take the Jiehe Commercial Market is equivalent to handing Cai Jing his handle, so they are not so stupid.

Moreover, many of the policies secretly implemented by Wu Hao Gu are beneficial to the bigwigs in front of and behind the scenes of Jingdong Business Market...... They follow and take benefits, and they don't bear any charges and risks, so why don't they do it?

"Grandfather Yue, this is "Theory of Reason", this is "Metaphysics", and this is "Engineer Science", all of which are the original ones that flowed out of the Yuntai Academy."

In Puyuan, the largest mansion in the south of Haizhou City, Ji Yi, who has recently been a little blessed, is handing over a few books that he didn't know how to get his hands on, and handed over to the old minister Zhang Xuanzhang, who was dressed in loose civilian clothes and sat in the inner hall.

Zhang Dian slowly took out a pair of crystal-polished glasses, put them on the bridge of his nose, and then took "Engineer Science" and flipped through it, turning a few pages, his brows furrowed.

Why can't you read it? I am so big and asking, why are there still books that I can't read?

"Granduncle Yue, you have to understand "Metaphysics" first, and then you can understand "Engineer Science". Ji Yi said with a smile on the side.

"What is Metaphysics?" It was Lu Jia, the largest coal boss in Haizhou, who interjected.

He's rich now! Not only did he make a lot of money selling charcoal, but he also made a lot of money on the real estate in Jingdong Commercial City, and recently partnered with Ji Yi, Pan Xiao'an, Wu Chengchang (Wu Zhongyi's son), Hua Manshan (actually funded by the Republic Bank) and others, ready to dig a canal! Dig from Tianya Town in Haizhou to Yishui - Yishui leads directly to Surabaya, and Surabaya leads to Xuzhou and connects to the Grand Canal! That is to say, once the canal of more than 200 miles long is dug up, the transportation from Xuzhou to Haizhou will be more convenient in the future.

Of course, there is a toll for this canal! The toll is divided between the Jingdong City Bosi and the merchants who invest in digging the river...... This is a big deal to make money lying down!

It's not just about collecting money to cross the river, the land along the canal has to increase in value, and new towns can be developed! Haizhou was the largest seaport in the north at this time (still surpassing the Jiehe trading market), while Xuzhou was the industrial center of China. Connecting these two places directly with a canal is sure to create an incredibly prosperous economic belt.

How big this deal is, you can figure it out with your ass.

Of course, Zhang Dian, Ji Yi, and Lu Jia asked them all people with dreams, and they didn't just think about making money.

Their dream now is to open a university in Haizhou that can compete with the Yuntai Academy!

The purpose of establishing a university is, of course, to realize political ideals. Isn't there a right list of Jinshi now? The right list of Jinshi pays attention to practical learning, and allows literature and martial arts.

Therefore, most of the students taught by traditional Confucian academies failed to pass the exam. And in order to "seize the right list", Zhang Dian and Zeng Bu have long been thinking about opening a university. Only in this way can their disciples and grandchildren spread throughout the court in the future.

But before they weren't as rich as they are now, and it was difficult to get a gentleman who could be a university professor, so they put it on hold.

But nowadays, money is no longer an issue! Talent is not a problem either - Yuntai Academy has already taught several batches of students. As long as you are willing to spend money, what is the difficulty of digging up a batch?

Moreover, the knowledge of Yuntai Academy has become more and more systematic in the past few years, and it has become more and more organized, and it is much easier to copy.

According to the latest subject changes, Yuntai Academy now has six basic disciplines, including "Confucianism" (including traditional Confucian classics, science, positivism and rationalism, etc.), "literature" (teaching people to compose poems and write articles), "arithmetic" (including metaphysics), "Gewuxue" (physical chemistry or something), "biology" and "martial arts", as well as "military science", "music and rhythm", "law", "painting", "engineering", "construction", "navigation", "medicine", "agriculture", "geography" and "history" and other eleven professional disciplines.

In addition, seven independent junior colleges, including the Knight College, the College of Engineering, the School of Construction, the School of Harbour Administration, the School of Law, the School of Medicine, and the School of Calligraphy and Painting, were established under the Academy.

The students of the school palace are also divided into three categories: "doctoral department", "general education department", and "junior college". Students in the "Doctoral Program" and the "Generalist Program" must study six basic subjects, plus several specialized subjects (both compulsory and elective). On the other hand, junior college students have a choice of basic disciplines and professional disciplines, and take the specialized route.

In addition, Yuntai Academy also has a very special academy called the Imperial Examination Academy! As the name suggests, it is a high-level imperial examination cram school.

All students who have graduated from the doctoral and generalist courses can enter the imperial examination academy without examination and receive up to three years of intensive training in the imperial examination, so that they can take the imperial examination. Students who have graduated from junior colleges, as long as they pass the examination, can also enter the imperial examination college.

In other words, the Yuntai Academy is now able to not only cultivate practical talents, but also help students pass the imperial examination and enter the official career.

Such a school palace naturally has the ability to attract scholars from all over the world. Not only is the number of students increasing year by year, but even the tuition fees are starting to get a bit high!

Seeing the prosperity of the Yuntai Academy, of course Zhang Dian, Zeng Bu, and Ji Yi had to imitate it. It's not difficult, anyway, they have money now, so they can copy the textbooks of the Yuntai Academy, and then dig up the teachers of the Yuntai Academy, and invite the students who graduated from the Yuntai Academy. Isn't it possible to do it according to the gourd painting?

The university under preparation, named after the word "Gezhi" in "Gewu Zhizhi", is called "Gezhi Academy", and is ready to open in Pengcheng, Xuzhou, not far from Haizhou.

"Master Lu, this is "Metaphysics," Ji Yi handed Lu Jiawen another book, "This is a textbook of arithmetic, and arithmetic credits are divided into two subjects: number and shape. If you learn the number and shape, and then learn the object, painting, engineering, construction, shipbuilding, etc., you will have a foundation, and you can get twice the result with half the effort. Even when doing business, it is also usable......"

Ji Yi then explained the essence of the two sciences of "number" and "shape" to Zhang Dian and Lu Jiawen, and his mouth was dry, he stopped to take a sip of tea, but he heard Zhang Dian suddenly ask: "What's the matter with that caliph in the Great Food Country?" Why did Wu Chongdao facilitate the delegation? And what's going on with that Srivijaya? ”

Ji Yi put down the teacup and replied after thinking: "Wu Dalang didn't know where to find out that there is a philosophical university in Baghdad, the capital of the Great Food Country, which has a collection of knowledge from many countries in the Western Regions, so he wanted to get a glimpse of it, so he pondered sending an envoy there. At one time, I wanted my grandson-in-law to be an envoy...... As for Sriwijaya, it is located in a strait connecting the east and west oceans, and because it is a trade route, it is very rich. The son-in-law estimated that Wu Dalang wanted to build a commercial market there. ”

"I see." Zhang Dian pursed his lips, raised his eyes and asked, "Then are you going to go to the Great Food Country?" ”

"Go, go to the Great Food Country?" Ji Yi was stunned for a moment, and said in his heart: Where are you going? Now that the city is doing a good job, what's the point of running so far? And he is still a Manichaean, the Caliph of the Great Food Country is the leader of the Heavenly Sect, what should I say when I meet?

"You have to go!" Zhang Dian raised his eyes and looked at his son-in-law, "If you don't go, you will be a lifting city boss in this life!" Don't you really want to have a day of recommending the second house? ”

As soon as he heard the recommendation of the second mansion, Ji Yi's eyes immediately burned, and his body leaned forward a little: "Grandp. Yue, grandson-in-law still has such a chance?" ”

Zhang Dian smiled heartily: "Why not? It's true that the official family is a little bit troubled by you, but as long as you are used, the second mansion can still enter...... However, Wu Dalang did not have the status of a jinshi, and now he has the status of a general, but he has no way to enter the second mansion. Therefore, in terms of overseas and market divisions, the official can rely on you. Therefore, you can't be afraid that the big food country is far away, you have to go through this experience, and you have to record the customs of various countries along the way, and it is best to write a travelogue and dedicate it to the official family in the future. With the frivolity of the official family, he will definitely be very interested. When the time comes, you will be indispensable as a Hanlin Bachelor! As long as you get to the official's side, are you afraid that there will be no second mansion to enter in the future? ”
