In the east of Luoyang City, a vast building complex with a majestic appearance has not stopped even in the middle of winter. There are teams of craftsmen in various buildings and halls doing the final decoration.

Liu He brought Qian Li to a casual clothes and checked around the construction site. Among these craftsmen, except for He Chang and a few other people who were awarded titles in Yunhai County, most of them did not know Liu He. He Chang and others had already received Liu He's orders to work with peace of mind and not to disturb him. Therefore, all the craftsmen did not take him seriously along the way and worked hard one by one. In this weather, sweat beads appeared on many craftsmen's foreheads.

"Well, He Chang and the others are indeed talents. The scale of this Imperial Academy is more than ten times larger than before. The layout of schools, dormitories, canteens and other schools is also very reasonable. Especially this library is located in five places in the east, south, west, north, and middle of the Imperial Academy. These five library pavilions are like five golden towers, suppressing the fortune of our great Han Dynasty. From then on, scholars, farmers, industry and commerce, and the last scholars will all be devoted to the court. The great Han Dynasty will unify the world and maintain long-term stability. For hundreds of years, there will be no more major troubles."

Liu He was very satisfied with seeing it, and he was already looking forward to the upcoming prosperous era.

Qian Li also smiled and said, "You... Oh no, what the young master said is right. The most valuable thing about Mr. He Chang is that he only used less than three times the original budget to create this new Taixue that was more than ten times the budget. He also widened the moat by landfilling and building the remaining waste materials, which greatly improved the protection of Luoyang City, shortened the construction period, and reduced the cost of waste transportation. It is truly a three-killing victory."

"Haha, you're right, you don't have to be humble. I've known for a long time that half of your contributions are also given to you in this idea. You have always been able to save as much as you can. If you are a woman, you will definitely be a good wife who is thrifty and frugal."

Liu He made a joke and made Qian Li’s cheeks flush.

However, it is precisely because of his personality that Liu He dared to give all his treasury, tax and other powers to him with confidence.

At this time, a burly man with only a thick cloth clothes walked over quickly. After looking carefully, he could recognize that the person was Zhang He. He led the elliptical soldiers and was Liu He's personal guard, so he naturally wanted to carry his armor.

Zhang He walked to Liu He, lowered his voice and said, "Your Majesty, a group of scholars came outside the door. Somehow, he had a dispute with several vendors selling along the street. Seeing that the city patrol guard was coming, Your Majesty came here in a very low-coated manner. Should he temporarily avoid being exposed?"

Liu He's expression changed: "A group of scholars dare to cause trouble at the gate of this Imperial Academy. I want to see where these people read the words of the saints on weekdays."

After saying that, he walked out with great strides. Qian Li and Zhang He looked at each other, shook their head helplessly, and hurriedly followed.

Before the three of them could reach the door, they could hear the noisy sounds outside through the huge screen wall inside the door.

"Looking at your gentleman, I don't know which young master or scholar you are. How dare you be so rude..."

"What's the point? You ignorant people, where is this? This is the National Imperial College, are you worthy of staying here? You dare to sell things here, and your odor is covered in the smell of money, which has defiled this teaching holy place."

"How do you talk? The court has regulations. Any street that is more than three meters wide will be allocated to stalls. We are also selling and doing business in this stall. We have neither entered the Imperial Academy nor provoked you. Why do we just speak rudely to us? Can we be humiliated by the common people?"

"Oh, how dare you talk about national laws here? Do you know literacy? Those laws are posted here, can you recognize them?"

"So what if we can't read? Anyway, the country has laws and we operate legally, so you have no right to drive us away."

"Hey, it's a joke. When will I drive you away? I just said that in this Imperial Academy, I will soon become a place for scholars in the world to study. How can you be a quarrel at the door and stir up the tranquility?"

"Young Master's words are simply unreasonable. He is selling along the street, so how can he not let him shout? Besides, I'm waiting for the stall, and there are more than thirty steps away from the gate of the Taixue School. How can I make a noise inside?"

"What are you talking about? Do you know who I am? I won't let you shout, who dares to shout? Let's see if I don't break his legs."

Listening to the quarrel, Liu He learned about the cause of the incident.

He stood at the door, looking at the two sides who were arguing, but there were seven or eight gorgeously dressed noble men and more than a dozen vendors. Both sides were quarreling with each other and they were so ruthless that they could not make friends.

"Which young masters are these? How come they are so domineering?" Liu He asked with a frown.

Qian Li looked carefully and shook his head: "I am not familiar with the princes of the various prefectures in the capital, and I really can't recognize them."

Liu He said helplessly: "You are either in the palace or in the mansion all day long. You don't know how to go out and walk around. After so long, you have not even been to the twelve mansions of the Three Dukes and Nine Lords for a long time. No wonder you don't know each other."

The foul that the vendor mentioned just now was set up by Liu He himself, so he naturally knew it. Thirty steps away from both sides of the gate of the Imperial Academy, there were stalls on the side of the street, and vendors set up stalls here.

There are many tall trees planted on both sides of the walls of the Imperial Academy, so these hawking sounds sound not light on the streets, but when you arrive at the Imperial Academy, the sound is weakened by 50% or 60%. When you walk through the pool, corridor, and the building complexes in the Imperial Academy, you can't hear any sound.

Therefore, Liu He immediately guessed that these noble men were obviously looking for trouble.

However, he did not stand up immediately, but continued to stand on the street like the onlookers, pretending to be watching the fun.

One of the vendors was angry and shouted, "What's so cool? My son is nine years old and can recognize a few words. The court's notice said that anyone who is over eight years old and has a sound mind can enter school. My son may not be able to study in it at that time. Although you are older, you are so rude, you must be ignorant. Who will learn better then? I still don't know."

"That's right, my son is eleven years old. He is born smart and studious, but he just doesn't have the opportunity to study. I will also send him to the Imperial Academy next year. If you have the ability, everyone speaks based on their knowledge. Why are you so arrogant here with your family background?"

Just these few words completely aroused the anger of those noble men.

"Just because of you? Untouchables are always untouchables. You are also worthy of studying in the Imperial Academy. It's simply delusional."

"That is, we have been taught and studied hard at home since we were young. Mr. Xixi is a great scholar of the times. Now, not to mention that he is full of knowledge, he is definitely a master of history. With you, a few of you, a few of us, are also paired with the Imperial Academy to compare our knowledge with us?"

"Who do you say is a bastard? Who are you calling me a lowly person?"

"That is to say, you scholars, farmers, industry and commerce have already made a conclusion. Small vendors, hum, they are just low-level untouchables. They also dream of dreaming of their children becoming successful, thinking of letting their son enter the Imperial Academy and the court, I bah..."

Liu He now understands the focus of this contradiction.

Qian Li also seemed to understand a little: "Young Master, it seems that the matter of this Imperial College being open to all the people has already caused the children of the gentry to be very impatient. These people are just provoking trouble and venting their anger in their hearts. It is only these vendors who said they would send their sons to the Imperial College, which aroused the anger in their hearts."

Liu He nodded: "I have long expected that these gentry members would be dissatisfied with the Xin Taixue Society in secret. Look at the ministers in the court, except for Cui, Lu, Huangfu and other few people, the other ministers presented seem to be quite a lot, but most of them are repeated, saying that they did not secretly collude to oppose me, but they are afraid they did not believe it."

As the two were talking, the nobles shouted, and suddenly they saw dozens of strong men with several guards rushing over from all directions. They all looked fierce and had weapons in their hands. The onlookers instinctively retreated when they saw such a formation.

"Huh?" Liu He's eyes sterned, and a three-pointed look appeared on his face.

"Why, they really want to beat people in public?"

Since Liu He, who was still a general, dealt with the Wang family of the Taicang Order because of the rice dumpling shop of Ning Lian and Wang Shan and his wife, under the rule of the Luoyang Order Wang Chen, in Luoyang City, he dared not say that he would not close his doors at night or pick up the remains on the road, but he almost never saw these things like beating people in the street, stealing and robbing again. It can be said that he was orderly and prosperous.

But now, at the gate of the newly established Imperial College, a group of guys who claim to be famous scholars caught several people in the city just because they were angry, and they wanted to hit people. This made Liu He angry and rushed up in a flash.

Qian Li saw his expression changing and hurriedly winked at Zhang He. After Zhang He found out, he hurriedly asked, "Do you want your subordinates to take people to stop him?"

Liu He looked gloomy, but waved his hand and signaled: "Don't worry. Let's talk about it when the patrol guard and the new Luoyang Order arrive."

When Qian Li heard this, he realized it.

"It seems that His Majesty wants to take this opportunity to check what kind of person the new Luoyang Order is after Wang Chen left. I hope this guy can do some personnel, otherwise he will become an unlucky person to sacrifice the flag for the new Taixue school..."

Qian Li secretly prayed for the Luoyang Order in his heart.

In just a moment, the noble men had already issued an order in unison, and the guards and entourages they brought rushed towards the vendors together.
