Royal Road

Kneeling and sitting next to the low book table matching his stature, Liang Rong's face was very serious, sitting upright like an adult, listening carefully to the preaching of the gentleman on the stage.

This is the Chongwen Pavilion, which was just prepared to be built in the Taishou Mansion a few days from now. Quiet and elegant, quite suitable for teaching. There are two upper and lower pavilions. The upper hall recruits children from the official family of six to ten years old, while the lower hall does not restrict age and talent. Liang Rong was in Shangguan, with only six book cases. Obviously not everyone can come here to study. However, it is different from other students who are elated and honorable. What Liang Rong felt was more of his father's affection and affection.

Last year, he was afraid that his father would send him out of Liang Mansion to go to school under which Confucian scholar. Unexpectedly, at this time, his father opened a school specially and found a famous scholar like Cui for him to enlighten him. Where there is the fear of being abandoned, Liang Rong only feels that his little heart is warm and warm, and he can't wait to learn more every day to repay his father for his kindness.

It is precisely because of this that he learns very seriously and dare not slack in the slightest.

However, few people can guess Liang Rong's mind. As a lecturer, Cui Ji only felt that the young man, Fujun, was very different from other children. Calm, smart and studious, he is really a first-class student. As the only child of the mansion monarch, and even the enlightened teacher of the entire Liang Mansion group of staff, Cui Ji can obtain more than just teaching a few Meng children. The kindness of teaching is only slightly worse than the kindness of the king and the kindness of the family. Being able to be the teacher of the sons of these bureaucrats is itself a kind of extremely rare personal connection.

The monarch should have gotten this point, and just invited him to be the main speaker of the Mengtongs, right?

Because he can't delay his official duties, Cui Ji's class start time is set from Q3 Mao to Q3 Chen, a total of one hour. After finishing the class, the students can go to the cafeteria to use the morning food, and then Liu Jian will continue to teach them math. Cui Ji didn't quite understand it before. He was also proficient in "Nine Chapters of Arithmetic", why not let him teach it together? However, after seeing the annotated version of "Nine Chapters" re-engraved by the Liang Mansion, he was convinced by Liu Hui's clan.

In the morning, there are only two courses, and in the afternoon, another Cui family will teach history and etiquette. Every three days, also add archery and musical instrument courses. Even the family studies of those noble ministers are nothing more than that.

Seeing that the people in the audience had finished reciting an article seriously, Cui Ji nodded and said: "What I have taught today, please recite it from the beginning."

The sound of Lang Lang books sounded again, endlessly circling the beams.

"Master, this time his subordinates brought a hundred soldiers and two hundred recruits from the mansion. Zhang He's family members also lived in the official residence." Lu Xie did not rest, Yi Yan hurried back to Lucheng. Came to meet Liang Feng early in the morning.

A mere three hundred people, even if you add the soldiers who brought the county to the city before, you can't form a decent organization, and there are more than half of the recruits who have never seen blood. It's really a headache. At the beginning, I still felt that my army expansion was not slow, but now it seems that I am still too constrained.

Liang Feng sighed lightly: "First, arrange people in the city to stay guards. After the official land is established, start training new recruits. However, those trained in this way do not belong to Liang's mansion. First, follow the method of Xiang soldiers. Tax reduction and exemption, 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 Liang's mansion. He can set up a field in the name of the prefect, but he can't take these people as his own. This is also in troubled times, and the imperial court has lost its power to take advantage of it. If it were put in the time of peace, it would have long been regarded as a deliberate rebellion.

Yi Yan frowned, "The house soldier still needs to practice more."

The lord does not have a military position, and the court's soldiers are not easy to use after all. Still have to place more private soldiers before they can be used.

"Deputy Zhang Ying is also an old man in the camp, so I don't have to worry about this. Now that the mansion has financial resources, he should be able to support it if he doubles the army. These family soldiers are the key. In the future, they can be scattered among the official fields, and they can also serve as the leader of the corps. "

This is also Liang Feng's plan. Regardless of any force, the grassroots officers are crucial. He couldn't use his troops in an upright manner, but it was not a big problem to plant some of his own people in Guan Tianzhong. If there is a chance in the future, I have to ask Yiyan and the others for some official posts.

After thinking about it, Liang Feng said again: "Can you still recruit soldiers from your clan?"

Wuxiang is also in the Shangdang area, and now he is justified in recruiting Jie people. With Yi Yan's example, it is more convenient to control.

"It should be possible!" Yi Yan said, "a lot of people returned from Yanzhou last year. As long as there is a lord who wants to use it, they will happily take effect."

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

"That's good! If someone goes to the Liang Mansion, they can come with their relatives. Wuxiang will also resettle some people and reclaim the barren land. Only when the two ethnic groups live together can there be long-term peace and stability." Now the Hu people live together. Habits are slightly blocked. If this barrier can be broken, and these Jiehu's living habits can be closer to the Han people, it will be somewhat helpful. In the future, he will move the refugees into the country on a large scale. If the land is not occupied by himself, he will be taken away by the Huns.

"Subordinates know." Yi Yan answered simply. Isn't this arrangement beneficial to the people of the tribe? As long as he is there, he can control these tribesmen and drive the lord.

"In addition, there are still many Huns and Qiangs in the Shangdang." Liang Feng picked up a roll of maps from the table and spread them out. "There are Huns in Nie County and Guyuan, and there are those in Lingchuan. Many Qiang households, these people are also in the Shangdang area. If the Xiongnu raise their troops, there will be an unexpected change."

Like other counties and counties in Bingzhou, Shangdang is home to many humiliated people. If these people make trouble, the consequences will be disastrous.

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

"It is useless to suppress them. We still have to find a way to settle them down. If the military commander should be killed, they will be killed, and the others will be incorporated into the civilian households. Let them be proficient in Chinese and use it for me." This was also the method used by Liang Xizhi to merge the state. . Most of the Hu people in Northland live by farming, and most of them want to live and work in peace and contentment. Unless you can't eat enough and don't get warm, and you're on a dead end, who will raise a sword to rebel? Dispose of those who are ambitious and have strange thoughts, and others can be wooed. It's better to treat differently.

"As for Liu Yuanhai..." Liang Feng's fingers slid westward along the map and landed on Zuo Guocheng. Zuo Guocheng is on the side of Lishi. Lishi is the seat of Xihe State. Unfortunately, Xihe State and Shangdang County live next to each other, which is the closest. "If you send troops from Lishi, I am afraid that within ten days, the army will be able to approach the city. If Qingqi rushes forward, it can still be two days faster. Once Liu Yuanhai moves, the Shangdang will face the Xiongnu soldiers!"

"Gong Dongying is still in Jinyang, so he won't let the Huns harass the Shangdang!" Yi Yan said immediately.

"How long can Dongying stop?" Liang Feng asked rhetorically.

Yi Yan couldn't answer this question either.

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

This is the first time Yi Yan has seen the overall situation of the Shangdang so intuitively. This is the sinister situation the lord will face. Taking a deep breath, Yi Yan said, "The lord, don't worry! As long as there are subordinates, he will definitely guard the Shangdang for you!"

There are too many things, and he is powerless. But for the expedition, Yi Yan still has a bit of confidence. And now it’s different from the past. The Shangdang’s forages and people are far better than Liang’s. It takes some time to train a strong army!

Seeing what Yiyan said, Liang Feng couldn't help but smiled slightly: "What I want is this kind of courage. Moreover, a person has just arrived in the palace, which may help the war..."

Before he finished his words, he heard a loud boom coming from a distance, like a muffled thunder. Yi Yan immediately turned his head and looked out. The sound was not right, it didn't seem to come from the sky, but it seemed to come from the mansion. Could it be that Earth Dragon turned over? But why is there no vibration under your feet?

Yi Yan was surprised and doubted, but Liang Feng suddenly got up with joy: "It looks like it's done! Come and see with me!"

What became? Yi Yan was taken aback for a moment, and immediately followed Liang Feng and walked to the backyard.

Not long after, the two came to a courtyard in the back house. This place was originally vacant, but now it stands on the sentry post. Before entering the door, a guard greeted him quickly: "President, it seems that the furnace has been fried just now!"

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

"No. But the pill room was destroyed." The soldier hurriedly replied.

"It's okay if people are okay." Liang Feng relaxed and walked into the small courtyard.

I saw a house in the west wing of the courtyard. At this moment, black smoke was blowing out, and there was a pungent smell. Fortunately, the house was not damaged and there was no fire. A figure stood outside the door in embarrassment, with a lot of stains on his body, and a ball of hair, covering his mouth and nose with his sleeves and coughing endlessly.

Liang Feng smiled slightly and stepped forward: "Zhuchuan, is it okay here?"

Seeing Liang Feng coming, Ge Hong tried his best to stop his coughing, and gave a wry smile: "President, the pill you gave me is not a way to put it down, isn't it?
