Guo Jia took a deep breath, and bowed back with a serious expression, "Meng Ming's public weapons are heavy, which shows that the Ming public security is a gentleman!" May I repay him with death! ”

"Don't! Don't die! ”

Ma Qiang immediately panicked when he heard Guo Jia's words, who in the future will not know that you Guo Jia is a short-lived ghost.

"I see that you still have the smell of alcohol on your body, it seems that you like wine, this is not good, young people need to take care of their bodies!"

Ma Qiang completely ignored his own age, and persuaded Guo Jia to pay attention to health preservation in the tone of a person who came over, who had no choice but to soak wolfberries in the thermos cup when he was middle-aged, and the few people who listened directly were stunned, thinking about what this thermos cup was.

This time, Ma Qiang not only won Guo Jia in the imperial examination, but also many talents whose names Ma Qiang had not heard.

At the same time, the news that was announced was that Ma Qiang was officially appointed by the imperial court as the Qingzhou Thorn History, and Ma Pingyuan, the title that had followed Ma Qiang for several years, was finally thrown into the garbage heap of history.

Ma Qiang's first order as the assassin of Qingzhou was to let Kong Rong of Beihai and Cai Ji of Donglai come to the plain country to meet him.

Although Donglai also had some pirates and the Yellow Turban remnants, under the sweep of Zhao Yun, Lin Hai and Guan Hai, who was beaten and obedient, except for the pirates, who could not be solved for the time being, they were all slowly calmed down.

- Outside the Plains

Kong Rong sat in the car, and next to him was Cai Ji.

Cai Ji is a native of Nanyang, and Cai Mao is still a relative, and he is more than fifty years old at this time, and he, like Kong Rong, is a celebrity who is better at talking than practical.

"I have long heard that under the governance of Ma Qingzhou, the plain country is prosperous, and I can see it today, and there is no vanity under the fame!" As he spoke, Cai Ji thought of the local wealthy clans in Donglai who gave him a headache, and the reason why those pirates were so rampant was inseparable from the protection of these wealthy clans.

Kong Rong suddenly shouted, "Stop!" ”

The convoy immediately stopped.

Kong Rong jumped out of the car, came to a group of children on the side of the road, and asked with a smile, "I saw that you seemed to be reading a book just now, I don't know what kind of book it is?" ”

Several children glanced at each other, and one of them was a little older, handed his book to Kong Rong and said, "It's an extracurricular book issued in the school, called "Thousand Character Text"."

Kong Rong took it and opened it, and his eyes suddenly lit up.

As a famous scholar, he naturally knows the importance of this "Thousand Character Text" to enlightenment.

But what puzzled him was, what is an extracurricular book?

"What is this book?"

The older child replied, "As the name suggests, it is a book to read outside of the curriculum, and my husband said that although this book is interesting, many of the words in it are too difficult for us, so we are not forced to memorize them." ”

Kong Rong nodded, there are indeed many words in this "Thousand Character Text" that are difficult to recognize and write, and it is indeed difficult for a child.

Why are they ordinary children? That's because, of course, for Kong Rong himself, this book is too simple! I can memorize it myself at the age of six!

"I have never seen such a good book, could it be that your husband created it? I wonder who your husband is? Kong Rong continued to ask.

"Hahaha, our husband can't write it, this is a printed book, the author's name is unknown, this person is amazing! I've written a lot of books! ”

Kong Rong listened to the child's words, and the corners of his mouth twitched.

This group of stupid children, where is the name of a person...

Kong Rong asked some more carefully, and learned that there were schools in all towns and villages in the plains, and most of the school-age children could read as long as they were not too stupid, so he couldn't help but sigh to Cai Ji who came over, "Boqi, the "Book of Rites" has clouds, the old have their ends, the strong have their usefulness, the young have their growth, the widows, widows, loneliness, and the sick have all been raised, although the plain is not as good, it is not far away!" ”

If it weren't for the people who came from that era, I'm afraid I can't imagine how much impact compulsory education will have on society, although Ma Qiang can't do real compulsory education, but such a large-scale universal education is also unprecedented, Kong Rong only from this point, he has a little more affection for Ma Qiang, who has not yet met.

Ma Qiang has always emphasized education first, although this did not make him more soldiers, but made him have a lot less money and food, but it has to be said that it is because of this that many progressive scholars have joined Ma Qiang's team.

"Ming Gong! Ma Qingzhou came to pick us up! Kong Rong's subordinate Wu Anguo rode over and shouted.

Kong Rong responded, sat in the car with Cai Ji, and drove towards Ma Qiang's greeting team.

Kong Rong's reputation is prosperous in the sea, and there are many capable people under his command, Wu Anguo is one of them, and Wu Anguo is still born in Qian, he is a warrior who followed him when Kong Rong followed the Yellow Turban to pacify him, and now he has survived to the end and has become the captain of Beihai Kingdom, Guan Hai has attacked Kong Rong many times, and it is because of his desperate resistance with Wang Xiu that Kong Rong now has the life to see Ma Qiang.

Wang Xiuzi Shuzhi, a native of Yingling, Beihai County, was promoted by Kong Rong as filial piety, he is an upright person, and the rewards and punishments are clear, so he has the death force of the army and the people, he and Wu Anguo, which are the two pillars of Beihai's one article and one martial arts.

But Kong Rong's real henchmen are not these two, after all, one of these two is a martial artist, the other is a layman who is good at practice, Kong Rong's henchmen are Wang Zifa and Liu Kongci, both of whom are good at debating, and they often talk to Kong Rong for a day, which is very much loved by Kong Rong.

This time, the two also came with the car.

Kong Rong and his entourage came to the outside of Pingyuan City, and sure enough, they saw Ma Qiang outside the city to greet him, and hurriedly got out of the car to salute.

Ma Qiang grabbed one in one hand, and said with a warm look in his eyes, "Thanks to the work of the two, I can keep a safe place, hurry up and enter with me, I have prepared a banquet for the two of them!" ”

The two looked at Ma Qiang like this, and couldn't help but settle down in their hearts.

This banquet naturally opened the eyes of the two, whether it was eating or drinking, whether it was used or watched, it was something that the two had never seen, and they only felt that they had almost lived in vain in this life.

Kong Rong and the others also found that it was not only the two of them who participated in this banquet, but also Jinan Xianghuaxin, Qi Xiangwang Bao, and Le'an County Shou Xu He.

Coupled with Jia Xu, the minister of the plains who had just been appointed by Ma Qiang, the people from the six counties of Qingzhou were also here.

Full of wine and food, Ma Qiang waved his hand to stop the song and dance, and then looked at everyone.

Everyone also knew that they were going to talk about business, so they couldn't help but sit up.

"Since Dong Zhuo's rebellion, Qingzhou thieves have risen everywhere, fortunately the soldiers have used their lives, and they have been pacified one by one, but now Qingzhou's white bones are exposed, and all kinds of waste are waiting to be revived, if the counties do their own thing, it will be difficult to recover, I don't know what you think?"

Ma Qiang opened this banquet, the purpose is to completely get the right to rule Qingzhou, you know, the history of the assassin has no right to rule, the right to rule is in the hands of the county, and Qingzhou does not have a history of assassination, Ma Qiang can only do this in a roundabout way.
