A fastboat turned slowly from the Provincial River into the southeast corner of Henan Island. Yi Zhizu stood on the bow of the boat and looked at the scenery on the shore. There were lush trees and dense water nets, and the scenery was very beautiful.

"The land price in this area is very cheap." Wu Changqing stepped onto the bow of the boat and said, "It's also wide enough. Not to mention one thousand acres, three thousand acres are not a problem, it's just a little remote."

It is indeed remote. At first glance, I could hardly see any people. After pondering for a while, Yi Jingzu said: "How much does it cost per acre?"

"This is no different from wasteland. Five or six acres of oceans per acre, and they should be unable to stop talking."

Seeing Yi Zhizu seemingly moved, Yan Shikuan hurriedly came up and said, "I don't lack money, why bother to choose such a remote place? You are not Jianyi School, and it's almost the same to build a garden."

Wu Changqing also nodded and agreed, "This is a saying. Since it is a charity school, it is naturally necessary to facilitate the admission of nearby children. It is really inappropriate to be too remote."

Yi Zhizu smiled and said, "Changqing feels that our Xinyixue, which is not aimed at the imperial examination, can be welcomed by the people of Xiguan?"

Wu Changqing said in surprise: "Since it is not popular, what's the point of building this righteous school?"

Yi Zhizu turned his attention to the communication between Shuitian and said slowly: "In the Qing Dynasty, there are so many children who cannot eat enough and cannot afford to read. There is a school that can be full of food and clothing, can also study and learn knowledge, and learn a skill. Are you afraid that no one will come to school?"

"Are you planning to take care of the food?" Yan Shikuan couldn't help saying: "Are you running a school or a charity?"

Wu Changqing said in surprise: "Is the plan to... recruit children from other places to school?"

"Yes!" Yi Zhizu nodded and said, "When you encounter disasters, go to recruit students, take care of food, clothing, clothing, and study. When you grow up, you still take care of errands..."

Yan Shikuan curled his lips and said, "Are you recruiting students or taking the opportunity to raise a servant?"

Wu Changqing glanced at him suspiciously and said, "How large is the scale of Zhizuo planning to do?"

"It depends on the situation." Yi Zhizu said carelessly: "I plan to adopt the school year system, from elementary school to middle school, with an eight-year system, with about one thousand people in one grade, and at most eight thousand people in eight years."

Yan Shikuan said in a lost voice: "Eight thousand people, how much money will they spend in that year?"

"A child takes ten oceans a year." Yi Zhizu pondered: "Next year, it will be planned to recruit 1,000 people first, and the annual expense will be only 10,000 oceans, and the year after that, the annual expense will be only 20,000 oceans. After the full essay, the annual expense will be only 80,000 oceans."

"Ten oceans a year?" Yan Shikuan said gritting his teeth: "Are you raising a student? Or raising a young master!"

"You only use ten oceans a year?" Yi Zhizu couldn't help but snatch him apart.

Yan Shikuan argued strongly: "When I was young, I hadn't spent ten oceans a year."

"Can you be smarter?" Yi Zhizu sarcastically said: "This is to spread the school's operating expenses to every student."

Wu Changqing said nothing and looked at the river with a serious expression. He understood why Yi Zhizu wanted to establish a new Yixue! This was simply to form a private army under the guise of Yixue! This was to imitate the British East India Company and form a private army belonging to the Thirteen ranks!

When discussing how to destroy Assam’s tea, Yi Zhizu mentioned that he asked Thirteen Fronts to form a private army to expedition Assam. It turned out that he was not just talking about it, but had already planned it. Did he really think Thirteen Fronts could become such a huge existence as the East India Company?

According to his vision, in less than ten years, it would take only hundreds of thousands of people to form a private army of thousands of people and a loyal one! No wonder he had to choose such a remote place, and no wonder he had to build a land that required thousands of acres of land to enclose in Yixue!

Seeing that Wu Changqing didn't say anything, Yan Shikuan asked him for help and said, "Changqing, come and judge, this is not the way to use money."

Wu Changqing ignored him and said in a deep voice: "Satisfied, such a large-scale charity school is too eye-catching, and local governments will be uneasy. Can we separate and build a charity school in Xiguan, gangdot, flower land, and Henan?"

After hearing this, Yi Zhizu raised his eyebrows and said, "The scale is too large?"

"Generally, there are only a few dozen people in Yixue, and the large Yixue is only one or two hundred people." Wu Changqing said: "The scale of academies, prefectures, and county schools is much larger than that of Yixue. Yuexiu Academy in Guangzhou City is only more than a thousand people. You are not shocking at the world if you have eight thousand people? Local governments will inevitably suspect that Thirteen Xing has ulterior motives."

Yi Zhizu hesitated for a while before saying, "It's all children, what do the government doubt?"

Wu Changqing sighed: "In eight years, it's time for the child to be an adult."

In another ten years, even if the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom rebelled, Guangdong would be in chaos. At that time, the government would be hoping that the Thirteen Army would form a group training to protect Guangzhou. However, Yi Zhizuo could not say this now, otherwise the Wu family would really treat him as a charlatan.

After pondering for a while, he said, "Discuss this matter slowly and see the place first."

After hearing this, Yan Shikuan quickly said, "Yi Xue can think about it slowly, but Tianbao Watch Factory can't wait. What's the address for building the factory first? The location of the factory cannot be too far off. I think it's better to be in Xiguan."

"Tianbao watch factory should not be in a prosperous place." Yi Zhizu broke Yan Shikuan's fantasy in one sentence, "Go to Huadi and Pantang to have a look."

It was almost dusk, and Yi Zhizu returned home. Before entering the gate, the servant Li Wang quickly came up and said, "Young master is back. The master is back, and his face is not very good. I ask you to see him as soon as you come back."

"I understand." Yi Zhizu nodded, and then asked casually: "How did Yan Shikuan send you away yesterday?"

When Li Wang heard this, he drooped his head and said embarrassedly: "Young Master Yan said that the young master's pouch fell in the restaurant, so he asked Xiao Di to go and get it quickly. Xiao Di turned around and didn't see the young master."

Yi Zhizu held back his laughter and quickly walked towards the main courtyard. He had not returned for a night yesterday. He met Wu Bingjian again and summoned the children of merchants to inform the opening of money shops and newspapers. The old man was kept in the dark and had to be scolded.

He quickly stepped into the main room and found that Yi Yunchang and Lin were sitting in the main seat with a serious attitude. He felt strange in secret and hurriedly stepped forward to pay tribute to the two. Yi Yunchang looked at him with a dark face without saying a word, and he felt a little angry. This kid went out to wander with Yan Shikuan every day during this period, and he didn't care, and he thought that the young man's fun temperament could not be restrained for a while.

Unexpectedly, this kid made such a big noise without saying a word, but he actually hid him, without any noise, almost making him make a joke.

Seeing Yi Yunchang not saying anything, Lin said kindly: "Get up quickly."

After waiting for Yi Zhisui, she then continued, "Where did you go to hang out with me last night?"

Yi Zhizu didn't dare to say anything about Die'er, so he just said perfunctorily: "I was drunk yesterday and slept on the boat all night."

"You are not young anymore, and you always hang out in the fireworks and willow alleys. It's a joke." Lin said as he looked at Yi Yunchang and said, "Let's marriage be considered..."

When he heard that he wanted to tell him about his marriage, Yi Zhizu hurriedly said, "Mother, the child is still young."
