Chapter 260 It is better to suffer together than to suffer alone
Seeing the status of Emperor Jing and King Chu rising in the hearts of the people, Prime Minister Shen felt mixed emotions.
On the plane to Beichuan, he was still thinking about usurping the throne. Now, seeing the golden ears of wheat in the fields and the yield of 860 kilograms per mu, he suddenly felt deflated.
A problem that no emperor has been able to solve for thousands of years may be solved by this generation of emperors.
If he ascends the throne, won’t he be cursed for eternity?
Oh! Let's put their plans on hold when we get back!
"Prime Minister Shen, why don't you speak?" The minister sitting next to Prime Minister Shen asked when he saw that Prime Minister Shen remained silent.
Shen Xiang came back to his senses and forced a smile, "It's okay, I'm just too shocked and haven't recovered yet."
"Really? We are really witnessing history!" said the official excitedly.
After returning to the city, the officials picked up their luggage and asked Shan Rongjie to take them to a hotel in the outer city.
However, upon arriving at the hotel, he unexpectedly saw Young Master Song from the Duke's Mansion there. An official he knew well asked, "Why is Young Master Song staying at this hotel?"
Song Jinbao smiled and said, "Welcome, everyone. This hotel is owned by me."
"Could it be that the bar we went to last night was also owned by Young Master Song?"
Song Jinbao said, "I'm quite talented! The bar in the capital will open on Sunday. I hope you will do me the honor of coming and showing us your support!"
Haha, it’s true. I can’t buy anything without your Mansion of Duke Song in the capital. I didn’t expect that even after coming to Beichuan, I still can’t do without your Mansion of Duke Song.
"Okay, okay, I'll definitely go."
In the next two days, Emperor Jing took them to attend the delivery ceremony of the first batch of commercial housing in Pingyang County.
There was no need to fool people this time. Looking at the beautiful house and the decoration renderings on display, almost every minister ordered one.
When they left Beichuan, their pockets were cleaner than their faces.
However, they didn't expect that as soon as they returned to the capital, You'an Bar opened and they were fleeced again, but this time they were willing to do so.
After the wheat harvest was settled, everyone became busy again.
The news that wheat yield exceeded 800 kilograms per mu quickly spread to various countries.
The Jingyu Kingdom, unwilling to give up, began to unite with other countries to try to get a piece of the pie.
Spies reported that several countries had directly assembled 500,000 troops this time.
Shan Ronghao and Chu Moyuan sat on the sofa and chatted about this leisurely. With the support of hot weapons, they didn't take them seriously at all this time.
"Your Highness, several small countries around us have been frequently harassed by Jingyu Country recently."
"Have they come for help?"
"No! They are only harassing us and not attacking us. They are probably afraid that other countries will come to support us!"
"If there's a request for help, we'll send troops. If not, we'll be prepared. We've bought the weapons for so long and haven't used them yet. We can just treat this battle as a military exercise.
It’s time to let other countries see the military strength of our Great Chu!"
Shan Ronghao also smiled playfully, "Since this is a military exercise, shouldn't we call the ministers over to watch it? It wouldn't be nice to have no audience, right?"
As soon as Xia Youan came to find Chu Moyuan, he heard them discussing inviting ministers to visit the military exercises.
"Call the students from the Imperial College together. I just promised to invite the top ten students in the exam to visit Beichuan."
"Don't you have final exams coming up? Do you still have time to worry about this?"
"Of course not. Before the exam, I will let the students of the Imperial College be shrouded in the shadow of the exam. I can't be the only one tortured!" Xia Youan walked over and sat on the back of the sofa next to Chu Moyuan.
Xie Youzhi laughed and said, "Sister, your academic performance can't be considered torture, right? If there is any torture, it should be Old Xing who suffers. You worry every day that you will fail the exam."
"Hmph, you're mocking me behind my back again while I'm away." Xing Yinan walked in angrily and continued, "Old Xia is right. I have to quickly search for the test paper and torture them. There must be students on my level."
"Then you better act quickly. We will try to delay the time as much as possible and wait for your people to arrive before we conduct the rehearsal," said Chu Moyuan.
Shan Ronghao listened to the conversation between these people in silence, "Your Highness, war is not a joke."
"I'm not taking it lightly. There's nothing wrong with giving these students a national defense education class! They are passionate young people, and maybe this class will even unearth a few military geniuses."
The next day, the Imperial College suddenly had a final exam, which was half a month earlier than the original scheduled time.
"Master Xia, why is the exam coming up suddenly? We haven't even started reviewing yet." The students kept complaining.
"Time is fair to everyone. If you don't review, others won't review either, so your ranking won't be affected."
Although this is the case, who doesn’t want to get a better result?
"Master, what is the reason why we are asked to take the exam so long in advance?"
"Because I have an exam coming up soon, Master, and it's better to suffer with others than to suffer alone. Don't you want to share the hardship with me?"
Hearing Xia Youan's words, the students fell backwards, wailing, "Ah? I don't want to! Master Xia, please let me go!"
Xia Youan held up a stack of test papers and waved them, "You can't let it go. Get ready for the test. The test will last for an hour and a half."
As he said this, he gave the test paper to the students in the front row and passed it to the back one by one.
"Remember the promise I made to you during the first class: the top ten students would go to Beichuan as a reward?
Those who don't want to go can tell me now. When the rankings are released, if these people are in the top ten, I can automatically postpone them when the list is finalized."
There were not many legitimate sons of important officials in the court who studied in the Imperial College, so most of the students did not know what Beichuan looked like now.
However, the children of important officials were eager to try when they heard that they were going to Beichuan.
"Master, if I don't make the top ten, can I go with you at my own expense?"
The students have become familiar with Xia Youan in the past six months. Xia Youan is not as rigid as the teachers in the Imperial College. The students say whatever they want and often make jokes, but Xia Youan doesn't care.
"Yeah, yeah, I can spend my own money."
Many students were ready to give up, but when they saw that these second-generation rich people were willing to spend money, they quietly withdrew their hands.
These second-generation rich kids are much more informed than them, so it’s always a good idea to follow their pace on some things.
"That's great! I would definitely welcome you to send money to Beichuan." Xia Youan laughed heartily.
Those children who wanted to go but were not very good at studying and were not very wealthy began to whine again.
"Master, if we don't make it into the top ten, can we pay our debts and follow you?"
