With the passage of time, the news of Nanshan Academy and Zhongnan Academy has spread more and more widely, many students from other places learned that the two academies are going to enroll students, and they began to pack their bags and rush to Chang'an, speaking of the perseverance and perseverance of the ancient scholars to study is indeed admirable, for a news that is not so sure, they dare to go on the road alone, some are far away, and they don't even know if they can catch up with the enrollment, but they still came.

The arrival of scholars from all over the world, Chang'an City has become more and more lively, especially near the place of the two academies, every day there are countless scholars rush to watch, as a result, Nanshan was originally a quiet place for the nobles to take refuge in the summer, but now it is not quiet, many small traders like to do the business of these scholars, as a result, for a time on the road near Nanshan, you can see small vendors selling everywhere, and there are many people who are like rushing to the market.

The date of enrollment has also been set, first Nanshan Academy was the first to announce, and then Zhongnan Academy also followed, and deliberately set the enrollment with Nanshan Academy on the same day, clearly to do it against Nanshan Academy, which makes the topic of the two academies more interesting, many people are discussing which academy can attract more people, and some people even secretly opened a gambling stall, but the odds of the two academies are about the same, and it is estimated that the person who opened the gambling stall is not sure which academy can win.

As the enrollment date gets closer and closer, Cui Gan and Xiao Yu, the two mountain chiefs, are getting busier and busier, Xiao Yu's side is okay, after all, with Li Shimin's support, so Zhongnan Academy is not short of manpower at all, and the imperial court in all aspects has also opened the door to convenience, so Zhongnan Academy can now be said to be ready and waiting for enrollment.

And although the Nanshan Academy on the side of the family is also well prepared, after all, there are no resources from the imperial court, and there are naturally more things than Zhongnan Academy, but this is also good, for the sake of Nanshan Academy, the family has no time to do other things, which makes Li Shimin much easier.

But in comparison, the easiest is Li Xiu, he doesn't need to worry about the affairs of the academy, he just needs to wait until the day of enrollment to go to the academy station for a stop, in addition, the printing bureau has also completed the printing of books for the academy, and even the previous Li Shimin's Analects have also been printed, so that the printing bureau has nothing else to do except take some private printing work.

What makes Li Xiu even happier is that the financial supervision has also been idle, mainly because the banks in Yangzhou in the south are finally on the right track, and the information exchange between the banks in the north and south is also very smooth, of course, there will be some delays, such as you deposit a sum of money in the bank in Chang'an, and if the family in Yangzhou wants to take it out, you must wait for ten days and a half months, which is also limited by the speed of traffic, and no one can do it.

Suddenly idle from the busy, Li Xiu actually felt a little uncomfortable, every morning still according to the financial supervision supervisor, but found that most of the time is just sitting, there is nothing to deal with, of course, the bank must still need to expand, after all, it has just started, but this is not an overnight thing, at least now the expansion of the bank needs to be suspended, because the previous expansion is too fast, it needs to be consolidated.

However, Li Xiu quickly adapted to this kind of idle life, or he was used to this kind of idle life, since there was nothing to do, so he also gave himself a small vacation, anyway, he also instructed the financial supervisor, if there was really anything big, go to the house to find him, as for him, he would take a good rest at home.

"Boy, why are you so free today, and you have time to accompany me to fish?" By the Huangqu River, Ma Ye sat on the pony and hung bait on the hook, and asked Li Xiu with great interest.

"Isn't it all done, it's hard to get out of the way, so naturally I have to accompany Uncle Ma, but weren't you sick a few days ago, why did you come out to fish so quickly, and you're not afraid of the county lord scolding you?" Li Xiu also said with a smile at this time, but when he saw Ma Ye's somewhat pale face, there was also a bit of worry in his eyes.

A few days ago, Ma Ye had an illness, Li Xiu also deliberately asked for leave to visit, although the illness was not very serious, but he was old after all, and his recovery was not as good as that of a young man, so Li Xiu was also quite worried, until he heard Princess Pingyang say that Ma Ye recovered well, so he put his mind at ease, he happened to be free today, he wanted to visit Ma Ye again, but he didn't expect the other party to go fishing by the Yellow Canal, so he simply brought fishing gear to accompany Ma Ye.

"It's just a little wind and cold, when I was young, it wasn't a disease at all, even now, it's just a matter of a few bowls of decoction, and do you look like I'm sick now?" Ma Ye glanced at Li Xiu at this time and said, he is a disobedient character, and he doesn't like others to say that he is old, although Li Xiu didn't say it explicitly in his words, but he can also feel it.

"Hehe, Uncle Ma, you are old and strong, I also care about you!" Li Xiu also felt Ma Ye's unhappiness, and hurriedly smiled cheekily at the moment, when people are older, their temper has become like that of children, such as Ma Ye, so they can only coax those who are juniors.

"My body knows that my illness is nothing anymore, and if I always stay in the house and don't go out, then I will hold back my illness, and I feel much more relaxed when I go out for a walk." Ma Ye also knew that Li Xiu was caring about himself, and his voice softened a little at the moment.

Li Xiu also felt justified when he heard it, after all, Ma Ye is a person who likes to move and not like to be quiet, so let him rest in bed with peace of mind, but it is better to go out and walk around, after all, the condition is not only affected by physiology, but also by psychology.

"By the way, I heard that Wan Niang is pregnant, but Pei Xingjian, this kid, is going to Liaodong?" Ma Ye suddenly thought of something at this time, and asked again at the moment.

Wan Niang married Pei Xingjian at the beginning of the year, but she found out that she was pregnant some time ago, which made the Pei family very excited, after all, Pei Xingjian is the only male in the family, and Wan Niang's pregnancy also means that the Pei family has a queen, Li Xiu and Princess Pingyang and others are also very happy, so they also went to visit them on purpose, and at the same time sent a lot of supplements, as if they were afraid that Wan Niang would not be able to eat.

"This is also a helpless thing, this autumn will launch a big attack on Goguryeo, Su Dingfang needs Pei Xingjian's assistance, but the birth of the child may have to wait until next year, so Pei Xingjian is ready to come back before the Chinese New Year this year, and will accompany Wanniang until the child is born." Li Xiu also nodded and explained at this time.

"Then when is the imperial court going to attack Goguryeo, next year?" Ma Ye asked a little anxiously at this time, he felt that his health was getting worse and worse in the past two years, so he was also worried about whether he would be able to survive until the time to destroy Goguryeo?
