Chapter 2: The stormy waves 178 Education 2

The winter scenery outside the carriage flashed through the car windows. The winter landscape under the sun was a bit monotonous, and the bare branches silently revealed the solemnity of the cold winter against the exposed mountains.

Da Yintai has finished introducing the situation in Singapore. Liu Ji stared at Han Jing outside the window, but his mind was sorting out what Da Yintai just said.

Singapore has now 30,000 troops stationed, and has built three bunkers, distributed on three sides of Singapore Island, forming a triangular defensive formation. Near Singapore's port, there are 18o forts distributed in the south. Around the island, a circular trench has been dug, and the trench consciously retreated four miles from the coastline. Of course, the island also has a large amount of strategic materials to prepare for a long-term war.

This combat readiness has left the national treasury empty, and many industrial plans that need to be developed have had to pause. In order to cope with the immediate difficulties and long-term interests, Liu Ji finally started to cut off the Eight Banners army. This approach seems to be walking a tightrope. Although the scenery at the end of the steel rope is infinitely beautiful, there are many dangers. No matter what, Liu Ji has started to cut off. Now Zhili, Shandong, Henan, Jiangsu, Anhui, Zhejiang, Fujian

There was no Eight Banners soldier in Guangdong. The people who were laid off were placed in Kulun and Yili to establish military reclamation. With the public anger committed by the usual arrogance of the Eight Banners officers and soldiers and their performance in this war, the court's actions did not encounter many opposition. Although some Mongolian princes and Manchu princes jointly wrote letters of advice, the court did not touch these princes after all. This matter was a shocking past.

After the Eight Banners cuts, the finances improved significantly. In addition to the money required for war, Liu Ji planned to start large-scale investment and education.

All the way, I thought about the carriage and arrived in Xinzhuang very soon.

This town with only a hundred families is located by a small river. The school is built at the entrance of the town. When Liu Ji and his party arrived in Xinzhuang, it was already noon. The local Bao Zheng had already received news that an important person came to inspect. Although he didn't know that the current emperor was here, for part-time civil servants like Bao Zheng, just one official is enough. He greeted Liu Ji and his party very enthusiastically and invited Liu Ji and his party to his house for dinner.

First, it was not a hindrance, but second, it was indeed hungry, so everyone had dinner at Baozheng's house. Liu Xie asked Dong Xianzhou to leave two pieces of Long Yuan before leaving Baozheng's house and walking towards the school.

Facing Xinzhuang Primary School, it gives people a feeling at first glance. This school is the most beautiful building in Xinzhuang. Houses with curved eaves and flying corners are scattered between trees. If it is summer, it will be green and full of vitality. The entire school is surrounded by four rows of vermilion buildings, with the houses on the one floor and the bottom, and a large playground in the middle. A tall archway in front of the school, with four big characters from Xinzhuang Primary School written on it, and the characters are signed by He Changling.

At this moment, a large group of people stood under the archway, leading the school’s head. He looked at his official uniform, and he should be the official sent by the Ministry of Rites to serve here. However, Liu Ji did not notice this. He saw the children in the school lined up in two rows of roads under the guidance of the teacher, his hands were frozen red, and the big red flowers in his hands were also shaking slightly.

Liu Ji suddenly felt an unknown anger. His more than ten years of political career allowed Liu Ji to learn to control his anger. He did not blame anyone, but just stepped forward and picked up the current little boy.

Liu Jixun took off the fur scarf on his neck, and wrapped the child's little hand with his skin. The scarf with Liu Ji's body temperature made the child's stiff and cold hands warmed.

At this time, a tender voice came into Liu Ji's ears, "Welcome, welcome, warm welcome."

Although the winter sun is dazzling, it does not have much heat. Occasionally, the north wind blows through the ground still makes people feel cold. Liu Jidi's face also makes people feel cold, and a cold light shot out from his eyes. The leading official in the school tied the scarf around his neck.

"Let the children go back. The classes that should be held should not be frozen in winter. If the children stand in the cold wind. Just to welcome a boring chief, then should we review our educational methods? You should know that the children are our tomorrow and the future of the country. It is a pathetic education to educate them to stand in the cold wind to cater to the chief's intentions since childhood.

Liu Ji's words embarrassed the officials of the Ministry of Rites, and his expression was unnatural. Based on his experience as an official, this person had already noticed Liu Ji's extraordinary identity. Although Liu Ji was only wearing a common clothes, his every move revealed some habits that he had developed in a long-term leadership position. What's more, the person who conveyed the news to them said that the person who experienced it must be a big shot. As for how old it is, only God knows.

Although he thought a lot, the official of the Ministry of Rites did not drag on it at all. He quickly let the teachers behind him disband the gathering students.

After the students were disbanded, the official said: "What this gentleman said is that I am a small official in the court. If I make the Shangfeng dissatisfied, I am afraid.....                                                                                                                                                                                                                                       �

Liu Jijie said, "I'm afraid that I'll give you some shoes to go up to the top."

Seeing that Liu Ji had ticked out his words, the man laughed dryly again in embarrassment.

Liu Ji kissed the child in his arms with a red face and put him down.

The child felt the love that Liu Ji had emanated from his heart. He smiled sweetly at Liu Ji, waved his hand and said, "Goodbye Uncle."

The child's innocent smile made Liu Ji laugh, and the smile dispelled the anger and haze in his heart, making his mood improve.

Liu Ji couldn't help but think that my own child was probably sipping in his arms at this moment.

After a daze, Liu Ji turned his head and said to the official of the Ministry of Rites: "Let the teachers be disbanded too. We just visit it, hoping that it will not affect your work."

The man nodded repeatedly and said, "No, no effect."

Liu Ji felt a look at him. He looked up at his gaze and saw a female teacher looking at him with a clear gaze. The master of these eyes was graceful and graceful, standing among a large group of male teachers, as if standing out in the flock of chickens.

Seeing Liu Ji's eyes, the Ministry of Rites officials explained: "She is the only female teacher here and studied abroad in her early years. Although she is a little knowledgeable, it's a pity that she is a woman. Her father is a senior official of the court, so we can't refuse."

Liu Ji nodded and turned around again, the woman had disappeared.
