Xiahou Qingyi just glanced at Gongsun Yue calmly without saying much.
Gongsun Yue didn't speak anymore.
She knew that Xiahou Qingyi had been in contact with the Sword Clan, and now that he was so close to Liang Xiao, she naturally knew who had the bigger picture.
However, Liang Xiao is still too young, and it is difficult to gain the trust and support of the Sword Clan.
If the Sword Clan does not support him, at least Dazhou will not be able to take care of Bashu.
The Sword Clan is a group that cares about the common people, but there are also careerists among them, such as the Gongsun family who rule Bashu outside.
Moreover, Xiahou Qingyi’s mentor also belongs to the Sword Clan.
The "citizen" of the Sword Clan, therefore asked her to bring Liang Xiao and Xiahou Qingyi together to bind the interests of both parties...
[What do you think of him? 】
I don't know how long it took before Xiahou Qingyi slowly wrote a few words.
After Gongsun Yue finished reading, he lost his mind for a moment and said: "He is a hero... right?"
hero?
Xiahou Qingyi's eyes were a little more surprised.
The Gongsun Yue in front of her was completely different from the most beautiful woman in Bashu whom she had heard about.
But one thing she was relieved about was that at least Gongsun Yue would not murder Liang Xiao.
Looking at Gongsun Yue whose eyes gradually turned resentful, Xiahou Qingyi understood and burned what he had written.
Gongsun Yue said goodbye wisely.
At this time, Liang Xiao was in his room, drinking Yueming wine and looking at the information on the table.
It records the customs and customs of Yanzhou, as well as the construction of the city wall.
It is clearly recorded which company undertook the construction of the city wall in the first place.
All construction projects carried out by big aristocratic families are based on the premise that they are unreliable and should be strictly investigated and reinforced.
There is no moat in Yanzhou, but there is the Yellow River and its tributaries in the north, which can be used to defend against the Northern Hu people.
Once the Beihu people cross or go around the river, Yanzhou will have to face the Beihu cavalry directly, which is extremely dangerous.
If we blindly defend the city and defend the city, it will have a certain adverse impact on Yanzhou. First of all, it is equivalent to giving up the northern grassland, and the Beihu people's horses will have sufficient fresh fodder.
Gu Pingxiu, who was standing by, smiled and said: "Master Hou, as soon as Dugu Chen disappeared, instead of causing chaos in the Yanzhou academic circle, the academic circle in Yanzhou became more upright day by day. Master Hou still has a foresight, and this person must be eliminated quickly!"
Liang Xiao just smiled and nodded, feeling satisfied.
His design to kill Dugu Chen caused temporary trouble for himself, but it also eliminated a serious problem in the future.
This Dugu Chen was overconfident, thinking that no matter how bad he was, he could escape unscathed, but he didn't expect that he would act more decisively and resolutely eliminate hidden dangers.
"We received news that Duanmu Yunqing and Nangong Ning came to Yanzhou a few days ago, and recently... Duanmu Yan also disappeared." Gu Pingxiu said.
"Really? It's a pity."
Gu Pingxiu couldn't help but grin when he heard Liang Xiao's response as if he was talking to himself.
This marquis was more sinister than he imagined and had no kindness for a woman.
What kind of experience did he have to develop such a cautious and decisive style?
"Captain Gu, let's go upstairs and take a look."
Hearing Liang Xiao's call, Gu Pingxiu happily agreed.
The prefect's mansion has its own watchtower, which is more than twenty-five feet high.
After Liang Xiao led the Xuan Guards up the stairs, he looked around and had a panoramic view of the surrounding scenery.
In the streets and alleys, people live and work in peace and contentment, and people come and go.
In contrast, when he first came to Yanzhou, disputes were everywhere, and bullies caused trouble in the streets that day.
Gu Pingxiu praised: "Master Hou is not only a talent in one state."
"Yanzhou is only one county. The Great Zhou Dynasty still needs more talents who can benefit the country and the people. This is why I chose these students from poor families eclectically. Compared with those from big families, they can at least benefit the people." Liang Xiao said .
"We will know!" Xuanwei all said in unison.
The poor families of the Great Zhou Dynasty were not ordinary people. There were nobles whose families had fallen into decline, and there were also descendants of officials who had been dismissed from power.
Some students from poor families are called poor families because no one in their family is an official in the court.
"What's missing in Yanzhou?" Liang Xiao sighed.
"What's missing?" The Xuanwei guards were puzzled.
"There are too few schools, not even many private schools. There can't be only academies here!" Liang Xiao said firmly.
Everyone suddenly understood and praised sincerely: "Master Hou can see far!"
In the afternoon of that day, the Prefecture issued an official document and decided to recruit a hundred teachers specifically to teach children to read and read.
"The Prefecture has decided to open ten schools in major urban areas? Anyone over six years old and under sixteen years old can attend school for free and attend classes every day?"
"The funder...is the Marquis of Lanling who donated to the government in his own name!"
As the news spread, the whole county of Yanzhou was inevitably shocked.
In the past, ordinary people had to pay expensive tuition and buy books if they wanted to go to school.
Ordinary people only know a few words roughly, which is enough for daily use. It is also common to be illiterate.
Now that Liang Xiao has opened a school, students can enroll in school, concentrate on studying in school, and do whatever they need to do for the family when they return home, with a high degree of freedom.
In the prefect's mansion, all the officials expressed concern after learning about the situation.
Qin Baili first reminded: "Marquis Lanling, the number of schoolchildren in Yanzhou can reach up to 40,000. If the maximum number of students is recruited, and each person has a set of teaching materials, plus the school's land, the teacher's salary and food, I am afraid that it will be a one-time You need to spend at least 40,000 taels, and you will have to spend 500 taels every month!"
Qin Xun also nodded and said: "The county of Yanzhou alone needs such expenditure. Even the imperial court is afraid that it is unable to bear such a large consumption. Why should Lanlinghou spend the money! This kind of thing is thankless, Lanlinghou You should be clear about the principle of favor and enmity."
Everyone's words to me remind Liang Xiao to think twice before he acts.
After Liang Xiao signaled everyone to be quiet, he said seriously: "Do you know why some people hate the rich, and why some people are unkind to the rich?"
Everyone looked puzzled.
Liang Xiao then gave his own explanation.
"Because some rich people have mastered too many resources and acquired too much wealth. They are obviously rich enough, but they still want to squeeze out the last drop of blood and sweat from the people at the bottom. This is nothing more than insatiable greed."
"I have different considerations from yours. Now my business is booming, and I can earn at least one million taels of silver every month. If I can't even bear to spend 40,000 taels of silver, how can I attract more wealthy people to support this matter? Similarly, Respecting the teacher's teachings, making things convenient for others, and benefiting the people for the long term will be beneficial to my property and even my descendants."
Everyone was thoughtful.
Liang Xiao earned money from the rich people of Dazhou. One can imagine how rich these rich people were in Dazhou.
Liang Xiao didn't talk too deeply to them. Even if he didn't consider giving back to society, he still had other considerations.
The emergence of newspapers has improved the efficiency of information dissemination, and some benefits are hidden benefits.
For example, his popularity and reputation are all conducive to the stability and development of his industry.
But Liang Xiao's approach was different in the eyes of these people.
