There are rows of rows on both sides of the long street, and countless pavilions and pavilions cover the floating clouds and the horizon.
In the distance is the Indigo Cloud Park. If it is spring, summer and autumn, there will be countless boats passing by.
But in winter, there are only commercial ships and commercial ships that can provide heaters on the river. Even so, there are no less than dozens of large ships on the lake.
This is the prosperity that belongs exclusively to the imperial capital, with towers and towers and gold everywhere.
But now, the entire imperial capital is being blown by the cold wind.
Pedestrians looked back at the eastern sky and saw swarms of dark clouds pushing over them, and they trotted home.
The clouds advanced very fast, half of the sky was covered by dark clouds, and the sound of hitting the clouds could be heard from the high platform in the distance.
The tycoons ran wildly with their dragon-blooded horses, jumping tens of meters, but the dark clouds caught up faster, and there was a thick layer of water vapor in the air.
Just when the dark clouds were about to catch up, Tiqi finally verified his identity and entered the imperial city.
The heavy door was closed, seeming to keep the dark clouds out.
The entire imperial capital was hazy in the mist, but the imperial city was not affected at all, except that the air became moister.
An hour later it was evening. The maid held an incense burner and passed in front of the Qinzheng Hall. She seemed to hear a roar, then stopped, and a deep voice came from the hall.
"Summon the great scholars from Zhongji Hall, Jianji Hall, Wuying Hall, Wenyuan Pavilion, and Dongge Hall to come over!"
After a while, several old men in soap green official robes hurried over, entered the hall, flipped through the documents, and were shocked.
"There are too many books to describe! The Shuimu Sect actually did something so outrageous and resentful! Six thousand eight hundred people were sacrificed with blood, there were over 10,000 casualties, and tens of thousands of people were displaced. Suppress! It must be suppressed!"
"Xueshi Su called the Ghost Mother Sect the Shuimu Sect. Is he still thinking about the glory of Daqian?"
"You are so sarcastic! I just read more books and am more impressed by the old name!"
"Isn't that so?"
"Shut up! Yunying sent a message. Tiqi and the dragon-blooded horse have been running for twenty days without rest. They are still unconscious. Is it because they are waiting for you to start talking here?"
The five bachelors all knelt on the ground and remained silent.
"stand up!"
The invisible force spread out and helped all the bachelors to their feet.
"Tell me what you think."
The bachelors looked at each other.
"The Ghost Mother Cult is already a stubborn disease. The late emperor failed to complete his full work. It was not a crime of war, but a lack of national strength. Now that the country is rich and the people are strong, when the autumn wind sweeps away the fallen leaves, it will be wiped out in one fell swoop!"
"What Academician Xu said was better than what he sang. Now the Western and Northern armies are fighting against the barbarians. They are building the Great Wall and spending a lot of money. There is a drought in the three prefectures in the northwest, and Lanzhou is digging a canal. Where will the money come from to send troops to sweep away your fallen leaves?" ?”
The two maesters started arguing.
"Your Majesty, I have something unclear."
"What's the matter?"
"On the map, why among the several large counties, only the towns and villages under Chaojiang County have not been disturbed at all, as if they were surrounded?"
Another secret report was thrown in front of everyone.
"So that's it. The state-owned veteran is really lucky! There should be a heavy reward for this!"
"Does the name Liang Qu sound familiar to you?"
"Oh, he's just a small fisherman. Why does it sound familiar to University Scholar Su?"
Academician Su rolled his eyes, was too lazy to pay attention to the criticism, and turned around.
"I have a good friend who is a Jinshi in the same discipline as me. He also has a good friend who serves as a mountain chief in a town. He often exchanges letters. A few days ago, I sent a letter to him, explaining a method of literacy. A local fisherman invented it and said it was very effective after learning it.
After reading it, I thought it was interesting. It happened that my granddaughter had reached the age of literacy, so I taught her a lesson. The effect was very good. In about a year, she could read most of the Chinese characters. "
Everyone was slightly shocked.
Can you learn most of the Chinese language in one year?
Children generally start learning basic knowledge such as literacy, calligraphy, directions, timing, etiquette and so on from the "nian" age of about eight years old.
Then you usually have to reach the age of fifteen before you can start receiving systematic education in the classics and history.
Of course, some of the deficiencies are due to literacy, but even so, literacy still takes five or six years.
What method can increase efficiency several times?
Everyone spoke harshly to each other, that was their job, but when it came to specific matters, Su Yigeng absolutely did not dare to deceive the Holy Emperor. In other words, this was true!
The eunuch in charge at the side said: "It's the same person. This method is called Pinyin method. The sixth prince has been learning it a few days ago, and it is quite effective."
Su Yigeng suddenly realized.
"This guy has a talent that might be put to good use."
Not only useful, but also useful!
Manager Kang glanced at the five bachelors and thought to himself.
In recent months, His Majesty has been thinking about tax reform. The most difficult point is that the imperial power does not go to the countryside and there is a lack of people to implement the policies. Tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of literate officials are needed!
The cost of literacy has always been a big problem, but now it seems that there are signs of a solution?
"No more, look at this newspaper again."
"The fate of a dragon crossing a river?"
It is a good thing to have an extraordinary destiny, and it can even be used as capital to brag about in advance to attract "investment".
It's like catching a son-in-law who was ranked in the imperial examination. Although he has not yet become an official, everyone knows that the best ones will have a bright future in the future.
Yang Dongxiong obviously understood this truth, and when Yunying Tiqi was looking for something to talk to, he asked him to write it into the report. Maybe he could inadvertently help his disciple win a future.
"Then put it to good use!"
Sure enough, after hearing this, the scholars changed their minds one after another, from maybe it could be used to that it should be reused.
"It is the destiny of Changjiao to cross the river. He is close to water and good at water. Why not take up a post on a river bank?"
"Don't worry about rewards. How to deal with the Ghost Mother Cult now? If we let him come here again and again, it will harm the fate of our country and increase his prestige!"
Xu Xueshi suddenly said: "Mr. Kang, does he know how many households there are in Pingyang Town?"
"More than 16,600 households."
"Where is Chaojiang County?"
"More than 14,300 households."
Some scholars were puzzled: "Pingyang Town actually has such a large population, more than the county seat?"
In one family, there is no plague, no war, no natural disaster, and there are at least six people in three generations!
Manager Kang replied: "Martial Master Yang's second son sacrificed his life for the country. After that, he retired and returned to his hometown, leaving only one son to serve in the Western Army. He has opened a martial arts school for 20 years. Up to now, Pingyang Town has excellent security and population. Slowly there are more.”
"Xue Shi asked what this meant?"
“Your Majesty, since we have nothing to spare and the Ghost Mother Cult is coming with a fierce force, why not withdraw from Chaojiang County as a town, change Pingyang Town as a county, and then establish Yixing City as a town?
I looked at the map and found that the location of Pingyang Town was the center of the county where all the incidents occurred, or the closest place to the Ghost Mother Sect.
There are many warriors in the town. Martial Master Yang and his disciples are all extraordinary. They can be used as a hub to set up a river berth where the Demon Hunting Division can serve as a bridgehead for counterattack.
Moreover, after this incident, the vitality of several counties under the control of Huaiyin Prefecture was severely damaged, and there were many refugees. The Huaihe River is a rich land, which can allow several surrounding prefectures to provide food and money to help Pingyang County accept the refugees. Once the population is fully absorbed, it may not be a bad idea. Replace Huaiyin Prefecture and remove the county government office. "
Qinzheng fell into deep thought in the palace.
What Xu Xueshi said makes sense.
Looking at the entire Huaiyin Mansion, only Pingyang Town blocked this attack.
When you can't free your hands, it is the most appropriate way to set up another high platform to fight with the Ghost Mother Cult.
The Huaihe River area is a prosperous land, otherwise under the whip method, this area would not be left to deliver grain to the imperial capital.
It can be said that it is able to resettle the refugees without having to pay for it. It can be said that it serves multiple purposes.
"Can!"
