Shangguan Yunlan really stayed.
On the second day, the 50,000-strong army returned to White Cloud City under the leadership of Gao Shun, Lu Bu, Huang Zhong, and Li Cunxiao.
That afternoon, half of the North Mansion Army left the camp to go home with their monthly military pay and the New Year's goods prepared by His Highness King Jing. They were ready to celebrate the New Year with their families.
During the army's New Year period, Li Lin specially ordered that everyone would take a three-day break.
Of course, the premise was that there was no war.
On New Year's Eve, Zhang Zhao, Fa Zheng, Li Cunxiao, Gao Shun, and the other civil and military officials, as well as Bai Fu, also brought their families into the palace to celebrate the New Year.
Zhang Zhao and the others did not have any family members yet, so they naturally had to call them together during the new year.
As for Bai Fu, it was because of King Jing's invitation. This was also regarded as a supreme honor by their family.
Together with Shangguan Yunlan, this Palmprint Envoy had stayed in the Prince's mansion for a long time.
Although he had put on his veil when facing the civil and military officials, no one, including Bai Fu, felt uncomfortable.
This Imperial Censorate's palm-print envoy had never concealed his identity from the very beginning.
In addition, it was New Year's Eve tonight, so no one was talking about serious matters. They were just drinking and eating.
Stay up for the New Year.
The Great Tang also had such a custom.
In the large garden behind the Prince's mansion, the two children of Bai Fu's family, led by their brother and sister, set off the fireworks that Li Lin had specially prepared.
They were having a great time.
In this world, it was not difficult to make black gunpowder, but in terms of power, it was useless on the battlefield.
Therefore, even though black gunpowder had been around for a long time, it was not used for military purposes.
Whoosh, bang, whoosh, bang…
The fireworks that White Cloud City had prepared began.
Thousands of people stood in their courtyards or on the streets, watching the fireworks explode in the sky. They were all very happy.
Now that their White Cloud City had a master, their lives were better.
In the past, this was the most difficult time for ordinary families, but this year, they could have a good New Year.
In fact, some of his family members who had served in the North Manor Army had received many rewards.
Even the vicious beast meat that ordinary people couldn't afford was given a few catties to each family.
After eating, the commoners felt full of energy and their faces flushed.
However, while the entire city was in a joyous mood, there were six aristocratic families who were in a state of panic.
The hunting team that they were stationed in had been out for a few days. Logically speaking, no matter how late it was, they should have returned before sunset today. However, there was still no news from them.
The deacons of the six families gathered together, frowning.
On
the first day of the new year, Shangguan Yunlan set off with his personal guards, ready to rush back to the Divine Capital.
With their speed, they would be able to return in a few days.
Shangguan Yunlan's departure made Li Lin feel a little dispirited.
This cold and innocent Imperial Censorate Seal Envoy had somehow entered Li Lin's heart and occupied a place in his heart.
"System, sign in!"
On the first day of the new year, after Li Lin burned incense and took a bath, he began his new year check-in trip.
"Sign in successful. Congratulations, host. The Great Scholar Cai Yong, Cai Yong's daughter Cai Yan, Mr. Shui Jing Sima Hui, 50 instructors, 30,000 soldiers (above the Bone-Forging Realm), 10,000 Body Tempering Pills, 10,000 Bone-Forging Pills, 5,000 Tendon Changing Pills, 3,000 Blood Qi Pills, and 1,000 Essence Cultivating Pills.”
“.……”
After reading the reward, Li Lin was stunned.
Cai Yong was a famous scholar in the Eastern Han Dynasty. He loved books all his life and had a collection of thousands of books. In that era, he was very impressive.
And his daughter Cai Yan was a beauty on par with Diao Chan. Her talent and fame could be considered well-known in the world at that time.
As for Mister Shui Jing, Sima Hui, although he was known as the "Good Mister," he was proficient in the arts of martial arts and classics. He was a strange hermit in the late Eastern Han Dynasty and had even taught Zhuge Liang, Sima Yi, Pang Tong, and other students.
Adding on 50 instructors…Was he trying to establish an academy?
After analyzing for a moment, Li Lin had an idea.
He then looked at Cai Yong and Sima Hui's strength.
Well, Sima Hui was an Immortal Soul Stage cultivator, a great expert who was equivalent to a martial arts grandmaster.
Cai Yong was even more outstanding and unexpectedly became a Confucian scholar.
This was a system that had never appeared in the world of the Great Tang.
Cai Yong, who was a Great Scholar, was already over a hundred years old. However, his lifespan was still very long. This was equivalent to the high-level combat strength of the Primordial Soul realm.
It had the ability to restrain spirit cultivators.
At the same time, he could use the brush to replace the knife, and he could kill people with a wave of the brush.
Of the fifty instructors, twenty were equivalent to the Innate Marrow Cleansing Jinshi, fifteen Marrow Cleansing Martial Cultivators, and fifteen Yang Spirit Cultivators.
This was true. There was no delay at all. There were people in all three cultivation systems.
As for Mister Shui Jing, although he was a spirit cultivator, he knew a little about martial arts. It was not a problem for him to teach others.
It seemed that he had to quickly hand over the academy's matters....
As for the medicinal pills, the Tendon Changing Pills and below had basically been distributed. There were some Blood Qi Pills and Essence Cultivating Pills left.
Other than the North Manor Army and the Lieutenant General of the Vietnamese Cavalry Camp, most of the Blood and Qi Pills and Vitality Pills were given to the Shadow Secret Guards.
Now, with so many medicinal pills, it actually made Li Lin feel like he had suddenly become rich.
There were 4,000 Blood and Qi Pills and 1,000 Vitality Pills in the space.
It seemed that he would not have to worry about the problem of medicinal pills in the Xiantian realm in the future.
As for precious medicines and other natural treasures, he could store some good ones and sell the rest in exchange for other resources that White Cloud City needed.
After thinking about this.
On the fifth day, Zhang Zhao and the others were summoned by Li Lin. Then, two men who looked to be in their forties, dressed in scholar robes and wearing a silk scarf, followed Li Lin over.
"Let me introduce everyone. This is the great scholar Cai Yong, and this is Mister Shui Jing, Sima Hui. Both of you are hermits. Recently, you have come to the Imperial Residence, hoping to establish an academy there.”
"This king has already agreed, Zibu.”
"Your subject is here." Zhang Zhao stood out.
"Choose a large mansion in the city to house the White Cloud Academy. Teacher Cai and Teacher Sima will be the academy's Chancellor. The instructors will also be the disciples brought by the two Seniors.”
"Here." Zhang Zhao looked at the two of them with a complicated expression. Then, he cupped his hands and said,"From now on, the White Cloud City will depend on the two of you to educate it.”
"Lord Chief Historian is too polite." Cai Yong and Sima Hui also cupped their hands in return.
The
next day, the White Cloud Academy quietly opened its doors. After recruiting more than a hundred servants from the city, this academy, which would be renowned throughout the Great Tang in the future, quietly opened its doors to accept disciples.
This mansion, which occupied hundreds of thousands of square meters, was the largest territory in the entire White Cloud City, other than the military camp and King Jing's mansion.
