The pork butcher is smoother than a pig butcher!

really.

The bearded man heard his master cheering loudly.

Then he said:

"I will personally inscribe the plaque for the gate of the Kansai Military Academy and have it delivered to General Gan."

But is three thousand students too few for the first batch of enrollment?

Old Xiong, you came back late, so you don't know that many of the young men from military and noble families are too young to understand the basics of education, and they want to work but are not yet adults. They are at the age that cats and dogs dislike.

A few days ago, a group of thirteen- or fourteen-year-olds were riding horses in the outer city, which caused trouble for some ordinary people coming and going. After being impeached by the censors, they were all given a good beating when they got home.

"If these boys' parents knew that a military academy like this was going to be built in Guanzhong, the gates of your Marquis of Zhongyong's mansion would definitely be broken down."

The bearded man thought to himself:

Three thousand students is indeed not many; the children of the Kansai garrison must make up more than half of them.

In Shangdu, nearly a thousand纨绔子弟 (sons of wealthy and powerful families) could be sent to military academies.

There are 3,000 student places available. I wonder if the number of applicants will exceed 30,000?!

The bear is very steady:
"Your Majesty, don't bite off more than you can chew. Let the General do his work for a while first, and then you can inspect the results before making any further plans."

If these graduates are indeed more capable than the soldiers of the Shenji Battalion, it is not too late to recruit more students in the second cohort.

Alternatively, the imperial court could send more instructors to Guanzhong to learn the entire teaching process at military academies.

"Once mastered, His Majesty can establish a military academy anywhere."

Emperor Qianwu: "."

This is what it means to be a selfless and impartial minister!
Selfless and impartial. Gan Minglan:
Come on, let the imperial court send more instructors to Guanzhong, preferably from the Shenji Battalion. We'll take advantage of this free opportunity.

Marquis Xiong Zhen, known for his loyalty and bravery, is the best representative of the Kansai region.

From then on, he would shoulder all the storms and turmoil concerning the Guanzhong region in the imperial court.
The eldest princess's mansion.

The couple, who had been separated for a long time, were playing with their child together.

Royal children are only worried about being born, not about being raised.

Moreover, she was personally bestowed the title of Princess Yaohua by the emperor at the full moon!
Zhao Ran only needs to touch the child's little hands, pinch the little feet, and play with the child when the child is awake each day.

I just became a mother, and I'm currently very excited.

Looking at her husband, who was holding their daughter with equal affection, her eyes filled with a smile.

Unable to contain my pride:
"Hahaha, I'm so good at giving birth! I actually managed to give birth to a daughter who looks five parts like my eldest sister and seven parts like Yuanyuan. Your Highness, don't you think I'm amazing?"

Prince Consort Gan Mingfu looked at his daughter with delight, his large, bright eyes nodding repeatedly.
"It's all thanks to Her Highness the Princess. Our Princess will definitely be a stunning beauty when she grows up."

He resembles his sister, but in reality, he resembles him more.

How could he not like it?

"Hahaha, Prince Consort, you have no idea how much I wanted to steal Yuanyuan home back then! When our daughter was in my belly, I kept talking about how I hoped she would grow up to be exactly how I wished. When she was born, I was overjoyed! Wouldn't you call that wish fulfilled?!"

Gan Mingfu: "."

My princess-like wife's attraction to good looks is confirmed. Perhaps back then, she was attracted to my face!
Zhao Ran: Wrong! Wrong! Wrong!

The first thing that caught my eye was the eldest sister's face!
Then he took a liking to the eldest sister, who was born with superhuman strength and had excellent skills in killing enemies!
My dear Prince Consort! You're just a figurehead at best.

A month later.

Zuo Xiucai, who was regarded by all the Guanzhong garrison as a follower of General Gan, received an appointment letter from the Ministry of Personnel of the Imperial Court.

Zuo Wenkang rose rapidly through the ranks.

He rose to become the Governor-General of the Kansai Textile Bureau in one fell swoop!
Fifth rank!
Some of General Gan's fans, upon hearing the news, were completely overwhelmed:
"What's going on? That old pale-faced guy who can't lift a finger actually got promoted to a fifth-rank official position because of his skill in weaving brocade!"

Unbelievable!

incredible!

Fans of the face are getting anxious:

"Brother, tell me quickly, what exactly is this Governor-General of the Imperial Textile Bureau of Guanzhong? What does he/she do?"

"The official rank isn't high, but it's definitely a lucrative position. He'll be in charge of the production, sales, and taxation of cotton and silk textiles in Kansai from now on."

Moreover, the Yun brocade produced by the Ganluchuan Brocade Workshop will be used as tribute items in the future.

Those who produce Shu brocade in the same weaving workshop will surely see their wealth multiply. You should carefully consider the importance of this official position!

Want to try it?
The Tian family couple are the spokespeople for this Kansai brocade.

Some people expressed their dissatisfaction:

"Hmph! Old white-faced man got to where he is today only because of the General. He could be a manager in any other workshop, so why is no one in charge of an official position?"

Someone retorted:

"Look how sour you all are! Which workshop manager can build a jacquard loom? And which workshop manager can design dragon and phoenix robe patterns?"

"Yes! According to the old woman from the General's Mansion, at the grand court assembly on the first day of the new year, His Majesty and the Empress's dragon and phoenix robes stunned all the civil and military officials and their families in Shangdu. In less than three days, the name of their scholar master became known throughout Shangdu."

"It shouldn't be long before a large number of silk merchants come to Kansai."

"So they are merchants! A few days ago when I went to Guazhouwei, I saw dozens of carriages coming from inside the pass, and the carriages were full of people."

"Brother, is your Third Detachment in closed training? These days, the people who come aren't merchants, but new immigrants visiting relatives! More than 5,000 people have arrived since the Lantern Festival, and I heard there are many more on their way!"

"Hehe, you really guessed right, bro. We're off on an outdoor training exercise! We've been stuck in the desert for over two months, so our information is definitely a bit behind."

I vaguely overheard someone in the immigrant village mentioning that they were going to introduce all their relatives from their hometowns to Kansai, but the Lunar New Year isn't even over yet. Were these people spending the holiday on the road?

“If life at home wasn’t so tough, who would go out during the Lunar New Year? It’s better to do this sooner rather than later; the earlier you come, the better the location you can pick! You know the Iri River Valley, right? The first batch of immigrants only numbered 50,000 households. Compared to our few garrisons in Kansai, that place is truly fertile land!”

"The Iri River Valley is not only good land, but also has abundant water and grass! The first border trade city in Kansai will be built west of the valley. When new immigrants arrive, they can work on the construction site for at least a year."

"What's the story behind this border trade city? Hasn't the Kansai Trading Company already expanded to all the cities and towns in the Iri Valley?"

"It's different. The border trade city is different from these other cities! The border trade city was built specifically for merchants from the Yongtai Dynasty to trade with the Hu people and foreign merchants from the Western Regions."

"Good heavens! The Iri Valley is going to be amazing in the future. If any of my family's relatives immigrate to Kansai, we'll have to make sure they go to Iri!"
