Royal road

Kneeling and sitting next to the low desk that matched his stature, Liang Rong's face was very serious, imitating the appearance of an adult, sitting upright, listening carefully to the lecture of the gentleman on the stage.

This is the Chongwen Museum, which was just built by the prefect's mansion in a few days, next to the garden of the back house.Quiet and elegant, quite suitable for teaching.There are two parts in the hall.The upper hall recruits children from official families aged six to ten, while the lower hall accepts talents regardless of age.Liang Rong was in the upper hall, and there were only six desks. It was obvious that not everyone could come here to study.However, it is different from other elated and proud students.What Liang Rong felt was more of his father's love and affection.

When he was last year, he was afraid that his father would send him out of the Liang Mansion to study under some great Confucian school.Unexpectedly, at this time, his father actually opened a special school, and found a famous Confucianist like Cui for him to enlighten him.Where there is still the fear of being abandoned, Liang Rong only feels that his little heart is bulging and warm, wishing to learn more things every day to repay his father's kindness.

It is precisely because of this that he studied extremely seriously and did not dare to slack off in the slightest.

However, few people could guess what Liang Rong was thinking.As a lecturer, Cui Ji only felt that the young master Fujun was very different from other children.Calm and moderate, smart and eager to learn, he is really a first-class good student.And as the only son of the Fujun, and even the Kaimeng teacher of the entire Liang family's staff, what Cui Ji can get is not just teaching a few Mengtong children.The grace of teaching is only slightly inferior to the grace of the king and the grace of relatives. To be the teacher of the sons of these bureaucrats is an extremely rare relationship in itself.

The Fujun should also be sure of this point, so he was invited to be the keynote speaker for the Mongolian children, right?

Because he couldn't delay his job, Cui Ji's class time was set from the third quarter of Mao to the third quarter of Chen, a total of one hour.After the lectures, the students can go to the cafeteria to eat, and then Liu Jian will continue to teach them math.Cui Ji didn't quite understand it before, and he is also proficient in "Nine Chapters of Arithmetic", so why not let him teach it together?However, after seeing the annotated version of "Nine Chapters" reprinted by the Liang Mansion, he was convinced of Liu Hui's clan son.

There are only these two courses in the morning, and in the afternoon, another member of the Cui family will teach history and rites.Every three days, there are added lessons in archery and musical instruments.Even the family education of those officials and dignitaries is nothing more than that.

Seeing that the disciples in the audience had finished reciting another chapter seriously, Cui Ji nodded and said, "Let's recite what I taught you today from the beginning."

The sound of reading and writing resounded again, lingering endlessly.

"My lord, this time my subordinates have brought one hundred regular soldiers and two hundred recruits from the mansion. Zhang He's family members have also lived in the official residence." Yiyan hurried back to Lucheng without resting. Come to meet Liang Feng early in the morning.

A mere 300 people, even with the addition of the soldiers who had brought to the county before, could not form a decent organizational system, and more than half of them were recruits who had never seen blood.It's really a headache.At the beginning, I thought that the speed of my military expansion was not slow, but now it seems that I am still too restrained.

Liang Feng sighed softly: "Let's arrange people to stay in the city as guards first. After the establishment of the official field, the training of recruits will begin. However, those trained in this way will not belong to the Liang family, so follow the method of Xiangbing first. Reduce taxes, and if there is a big war, let them prepare their own weapons and dry food to fight."

The scale of Guantian far exceeds that of the Liang Mansion. He can set up fields and troops in the name of the eunuch, but he cannot take these people as his own.This is also in a troubled world, and the court has lost control, so it is possible to take advantage of the loopholes.If it was placed in the time of peace, it would have been regarded as a conspiracy of rebellion.

Yiyan frowned: "The family soldiers in the mansion still need to practice more."

The lord doesn't have a military position, so the court's soldiers are not easy to use after all.It is still necessary to set up more private soldiers before they can be used.

"Vice Zhang is also an old man in the battalion, so there is no need to worry about that. With the current financial resources of the mansion, it should be able to support it by doubling the army. These family soldiers are the key. In the future, they will be scattered among the official fields, and they can also serve as corporal commanders. "

This was also Liang Feng's plan.In any unit, junior officers are vital.He can't use troops in an upright manner now, but it's not a big problem to put some of his own people in the official field.If there is a chance in the future, I will also ask Yiyan and the others for some official positions.

After thinking for a while, Liang Feng asked again: "Can you still recruit soldiers and horses from your clan?"

Wuxiang is also within the territory of Shangdang, and now he can be said to be justifiable in recruiting Jieren.With Yiyan as an example, it is even more convenient to control.

"It should be possible!" Yi Yan said, "A lot of clansmen returned from Yanzhou last year. As long as the lord wants to use it, they will certainly be willing to do so."

The only one who can treat Jie people as ordinary people is the only one.Rather than being treated as a slave by others, or serving the Huns, it is really better to come to the lord's account.What's more, the lord also has the name of the Buddha, which is worthy of worship for the people who believe in the Buddha.

"That's good! If someone goes to Liang's mansion, they can bring their relatives with them. Wu Township also needs to resettle some people and reclaim the barren land. Only when the two races live together can there be long-term peace and stability." Habits are a little closed, if we can break this barrier and make these Jiehu's living habits closer to the Han people, it will be somewhat helpful.In the future, he will relocate refugees on a large scale. If he does not occupy the land himself, it will be taken away by the Huns.

"Subordinates know." Yi Yan answered simply.Such an arrangement would be of great benefit to the clansmen.As long as he is there, he can control these tribesmen and drive them for the lord.

"Besides, there are many Xiongnu and Qiang people in Shangdang." Liang Feng picked up a roll of map from the table and spread it out, "Nie County and Guyuan both have Huns' ancestral residences, and Lingchuan has There are many Qiang households, and these people are also in Shangdang territory. If the Xiongnu raise their troops, there may be a change."

Like other counties and counties in Bingzhou, Shangdang has a lot of barbarians.If these people make trouble, the consequences will be disastrous.

"After the army is ready, the subordinates will lead the troops to suppress it!" Yi Yan said immediately.

"It's useless to just suppress them. We still have to find a way to settle them down. The commander should be killed as soon as possible, and the others will be registered as civilian households. Let them know Chinese and use it for me." .Most of the barbarian people in the Northland make a living by farming, and most of them still want to live and work in peace and contentment.Who would raise a knife to rebel unless they were desperate for food and clothing?Get rid of those who are ambitious and have different ideas, and the others can be recruited.It is better to treat them differently.

"As for Liu Yuanhai..." Liang Feng slid his finger westward along the map and landed on Zuoguo City.Zuoguo City is on the side of Lishi, and Lishi is the seat of Xihe Kingdom. Unfortunately, Xihe Kingdom and Shangdang County live next to each other, and they are the closest. "If we send troops from Lishi, the army will be able to reach the city within ten days. If Qingqi advances, it will be two days faster. Once Liu Yuanhai makes a move, Shangdang will face the Huns directly!"

"Grand Dong Ying is still in Jinyang, so he won't let the Xiongnu harass the Shangdang!" Yi Yan said immediately.

"How long can Duke Dongying stop him?" Liang Feng asked back.

Yiyan couldn't answer this question either.

"There is no time to take your time. You must prepare as soon as possible to meet the possible battle. Boyuan, you have a heavy responsibility on your shoulders, but it is far better than in the past." Liang Feng said solemnly.

It was the first time Yiyan saw the overall situation of Shangdang so intuitively.This is the sinister situation that the protagonist will face.Taking a deep breath, Yiyan said: "My lord, don't worry! As long as there are subordinates, I will definitely protect Shangdang for you!"

He has too many things to do.But for the battle, Yiyan still has some confidence.And now it's different from the past, Shangdang's food, grass and people are far better than Liang's mansion, it will take some time to train a strong army!

Seeing what Yiyan said, Liang Feng couldn't help but smile slightly: "That's what I want. Besides, a person just came to the mansion, maybe it can be of some help to the great battle..."

Before the words fell, there was only a bang sound from a distance, like a dull thunder.Yiyan immediately turned his head and looked outside.The voice was not right, it didn't seem to come from the sky, but it seemed to come from the government.Could it be that Dilong turned around?But why is there no vibration under the feet?

Yiyan was in doubt, but Liang Feng stood up happily: "It seems to be done! Come and see with me!"

What became?Yiyan was stunned for a moment, and immediately followed Liang Feng to the backyard.

Not long after, the two came to a courtyard in the back house.The place was just vacant at first, but now it has stood on the sentry post. Before entering the door, a guard quickly greeted him: "Master, it seems that the furnace was blown up just now!"

"Are there any casualties?" Liang Feng asked quickly without stopping.

"No. But the alchemy room is destroyed." The soldier replied hastily.

"It's good that people are fine." Liang Feng felt relieved and walked into the small courtyard.

I saw a house in the west wing of the courtyard, which was emitting black smoke and a pungent smell.Fortunately, the house was not damaged and did not catch fire.A figure was standing outside the door in a state of embarrassment, with a lot of stains on his body and a messy bun, covering his mouth and nose with his sleeve and coughing endlessly.

Liang Feng smiled slightly, and walked forward: "Zhichuan, is this place safe?"

Seeing Liang Feng coming, Ge Hong managed to stop his cough, and smiled wryly: "Fu Jun, the pill you gave me is probably not a way to subdue the fire, is it?
