When Chu Tian was attacking Hebei, in Xiacheng, the chief finance minister Sang Hongyang was accumulating money in various ways to maintain financial balance.

It takes money to fight, and the Chutian forces pay more than one million in military pay every month.

In addition to the main land tax and municipal tax tax, the government also monopolizes the trade of some commodities, such as salt and iron, land transactions, and personally intervenes in certain industries, such as tea, silk, and official kilns...

In order to obtain funds, the government will participate more or less in profitable industries.

The tenth-level building Jixia Academy was completed. Sang Hongyang gathered literati and actors in Jixia Academy to hold a grand ceremony. Everyone who wants to participate in the event will need to pay 10 taels of silver.

At the same time, Sang Hongyang took this opportunity to raise funds. Anyone who raised funds more than a certain amount can leave their names on the stone tablets and booklets of Jixia Academy.

Sang Hongyang thought about the aristocratic families of the Eastern Han Dynasty thoroughly. When he announced this decision, he soon received donations from various aristocratic families who valued reputation.

Mi Zhu and Mi Fang donated 10,000 taels of silver in one go!

The Mi family took the lead, Chen Gui, Chen Deng's Chen family, Chen Qun's Chen family, Chen Qun's Yingchuan Chen family, the Wang family in Donghai took the lead, and the Cao family in Qiao County took action one after another. The government raised millions of silver donations!

In order to look legitimate, special talents from the Han Yuefu and Du Fu Thatched Cottage gathered at the Jixia Academy and invited major families and wealthy families to attend the grand event.

Cai Yong, Cai Wenji, Diao Chan, Du Fu, Su Shi, Lu Zhi, Zheng Xuan and others who were not very popular in the Han Yuefu, all participated in this grand event.

Not only that, Sang Hongyang took the opportunity to attract literati and poets from various states. Literary and poets can bring considerable bonuses to the territory. Therefore, with the reputation of Du Fu, Zheng Xuan and others, literati and poets from various states were attracted to Xiacheng and caught them all in one fell swoop.

"The Mi family gave 10,000 taels of silver, 8,000 taels of Cao's family, 3,000 taels of Wang's family... I didn't expect that the Cao family was so rich. It seems that I will squeeze the Cao family more in the future."

When Sang Hongyang saw the donation list, he found that Cao Song actually donated 8,000 taels in one go.

Cao Song made a fortune by speculating in real estate, and became a big businessman in Xiacheng. His family was full of money and he didn't feel sorry for taking out eight thousand taels of silver at once.

Cao Song was Cao Cao's father and began to take care of his son's future, believing that donating to Jixia Academy would help Cao Cao be promoted in the future. In addition, Cao Song also wanted to be famous in history and carved his name on the stone tablet of Jixia Academy to shine the ancestors!

When building ancestral temples in rural areas, the gentry was willing to pay for donations, let alone a level 10 building like Jixia Academy.

"I heard that Cai Wenji and Diao Chan both appeared in Jixia Academy."

"If this is true, the cost of ten taels of silver is not expensive at all."

Many male players flocked to the scene with the idea of ​​seeing the beauty. Ten taels of silver are already a considerable expense for many players, but male players are still flocking to it.

"I have been digging ditches and dredging rivers during this period. It has been a long time since I was so comfortable."

Su Shi came back to participate in this grand event in the literary world.

Now Su Shi's official position is the Prime Minister of Jinan. He manages water in the local area, and at the same time attacks local feudal superstitions and weakens the influence of local tyrants.

In order to enhance the influence of Jixia Academy and make money better, Sang Hongyang, one of the eight great masters of the Tang and Song dynasties, was naturally on the invitation list.

Du Fu and Su Shi became friends because they often discussed poetry. At this time, they attended the grand event together and whispered from time to time.

Various aristocratic families also attended.

The music shop in the Han Yuefu organized performances specifically. For a time, the Xiacheng was very lively and attracted many literati.

One of the literati came here, but was stopped by the city gate guards because he had a sword around his waist.

According to the ban in Xiacheng, unless it is a talent from the government, it is qualified to wear swords in the city, and it can only be regarded as decorations.

In order to avoid being knocked into the dungeon, this poor man was forced to hand over his sword and muttered in a low voice: "I didn't expect that I, the layman Qinglian, could not even bring a sword. This sword cost twenty taels of silver."

Seeing that this person's words and deeds were a bit extraordinary, the city defense force in Xiacheng said, "What Qinglian layman? If you have some skills, you can register, and special talents also enjoy the privilege of sword wearing."

The literati said: "I have some understanding of poetry and prose below. If I can exchange some wine money for it..."

Among the attendees of the Han Yuefu, Cai Wenji and Diao Chan were talking. They were responsible for the musical instruments of the Han Yuefu and the other was dancing, which was considered colleagues.

The functions of the Han Yuefu were more complex than before, and poetry, songs, calligraphy, painting, musical instruments, and dance were all under the jurisdiction of the Han Yuefu.

If the Taixue is an institution for cultivating officials, then the Han Yuefu is an institution for managing literature and art. Officials responsible for poetry and lyrics and essays usually gather in Du Fu's Thatched Cottage.

The two of them, along with other officials from the Han Yuefu, entered the Jixia Academy under the protection of a team of soldiers, attracting the attention of countless players and civilians.

"There is a woman who claims to be Li Qingzhao who was wandering in Xiacheng and presented two poems, hoping to concentrate on studying poetry and calligraphy and paintings in the Han Yuefu."

A minor official from the Han Yuefu presented two poems to Du Fu, Su Shi, Cai Wenji and other literati who were named in the Han Yuefu.

"This word is good at using plain words, with beautiful language and beautiful handwriting. It is indeed from the hands of a talented woman, and this person can be used."

Among all the literati in the Han Yuefu, Su Shi, a great man from the Song Dynasty, had absolute say. He could see the quality of Song Ci. He did not see Li Qingzhao and recognized Li Qingzhao as a special talent at a glance.

"Call her to come and test it to see if this word is really written by her. There are too many strange people who pretend to be literati recently."

Cai Yong couldn't help but have a headache.

Some players pretend to be writers because they know some Tang poetry and Song lyrics, but as long as they specify the topic and let them become poems in seven steps, these players will often expose their level.

The little official said: "There is another poet who claims to be the Qinglian lay Buddhist. He wants to join the Han Yuefu and exchange for some wine money."

Cai Yong frowned again.

These people all think of the Han Yuefu where is...

However, it is not surprising that some literati have a dissolute personality and sometimes speak out loud.

"Let him come to see us, if he doesn't have any real talent and knowledge, he will be expelled."

"Yes. There is also a literati who calls himself Ouyang Xiu. This is his parallel prose. He hopes to enter the official career and ask for the people. He is not just a name in the Han Yuefu..."

The clerk presented an article.

"If you want to enter the official career and ask for the people, just go directly to the lord's mansion to recommend yourself. How can you come to our Han Yuefu?"

Du Fujie took the article and his eyes gradually brightened: "This article is indeed extraordinary. This person has the ambition and talent to educate the people, and may be recommended to the officials and officials."

The literati named the Han Yuefu can also educate the people and manage water conservancy. For example, Su Shi was both a literati and a prefect.

The usually unknown Han Yuefu took advantage of this opportunity to attract talents, and more and more talents gathered in Han Yuefu.

In Xiacheng's teleportation array, Chu Tian brought a few generals back to Xiacheng to rest and prepare to participate in the Jingkang Battle.

He couldn't help but frown when he saw the lights and decorate in Xiacheng, singing and dancing.

Why does it have an atmosphere in his territory where a business woman does not know the hatred of a country that is destroyed and still sings the back garden flowers across the river?

Yecheng, Hefei, and Bowang are all fighting, but Xiacheng seems to be in a peaceful and prosperous era.

"Who is in charge of this? I must..."

Chu Tian plans to severely punish those who hold this grand event.

The civil minister Zhang Hong and agronomist Jia Sijie were the people who presided over the affairs of Langya State: "Sang Hongyang organized this grand event for the soldiers to raise donations, and so far, a total of 870,000 taels of silver has been raised."

"I must... praise him well."

When Chu Tian heard that he had raised 870,000 taels of silver, he immediately changed his mind.

If so much gold and silver can be collected at every grand event, what if you still sing the back garden flowers across the river?

The most practical thing is to get the money of white silver.

With Emperor Wu of Han in charge of the overall situation and the gold mine in Jiaodong, Chutian does not have to worry about the financial crisis for the time being.
