It's spring!

The weather is finally starting to warm up, and the frozen rivers are flowing in the mountain streams.

In the north of Hokupyeong-gun, among the Karasuma tribe!

The original grassland has been reclaimed into farmland.

The farmland is burned before the winter falls, and the tall grass is burned first.

Otherwise, with the cold of this winter, the land will be frozen, and the shovel and hoe will not be able to turn the ground harder than stone.

The weather is getting warmer and the snow and ice are melting.

Cheng Yuanzhi led a group of people to reclaim the land and plant the first batch of seeds.

In addition to the ordinary people and soldiers who immigrate, some Karasuma people also tried to cultivate a little land and plant seeds.

The first time they cultivated fields on the prairie, those people who came voluntarily had no bottom in their hearts.

If it weren't for the fact that they were exempt from taxes in the first year, and only had to pay a little in the next two years, they wouldn't have come all the way to this grassland.

Whether it's Karasuma or Xianbei, today's strength is not as good as before. At present, they are all under the control of Zhao Hui.

The most worried are still the Huns.

After the seeds were planted, Cheng Yuanzhi led people and began to build forts and dig trenches along the fields.

More than 10,000 acres of fields cannot be enclosed.

Only scattered fortresses can be used to fend off possible cavalry.

Every thirty zhang, there is a fortress, all of which are made of stone.

It can accommodate 30 people inside, and there are small windows of varying heights around it.

Tripping and stumbling nails are even more essential.

As soon as a large number of cavalry is found, the tripwire is buried in the earth and the other end is placed in the fortress.

The fields here are very fertile, and if nothing happens and the seeds are planted, there will be a good harvest.

The only worry is that during the autumn harvest, the fruits of hard work will be snatched away.

As long as the Huns can be prevented, the people who cultivate here will definitely harvest more than the other people in Youzhou.

For the same acre of land, the output here is more, and there is no need to pay taxes.

At the beginning of spring, on the prairie, a huge number of horses were finally seen again.

Zhao Yun himself went with a detachment of people.

Guo Jia came back from Zhuojun and really invited Lu Zhi to come.

Also coming back were the two hundred Mo Dao teams that had been sent to various places before. However, the four hundred elite soldiers did not return.

It's spring, everyone is busy with spring ploughing, and there is no time to train with the soldiers.

Militias were also formed everywhere. Four hundred elite soldiers remained in the various villages and became militia captains.

Because of the short time, many people do not train completely and do not meet the requirements.

The number of people who participated was large, but in the end, in each place, an average of only fifty people became full-fledged militiamen.

These can be regarded as Zhao Hui's reserves. Even if there were only fifty people in each place, it added up to 20,000 people.

Formal militia, Zhao Hui didn't want to get too much, and there were only about 100 people in a village at most.

But the number of people who have been trained will certainly be much greater than that.

The men of the whole village will basically be trained.

The elite soldiers who remain will continue to train the people in the village.

Of course, training is still voluntary, as long as you have time, whether adults or children, you can train.

During spring ploughing, adults don't have time, and there are still many children who are willing to follow the training.

Lu Zhi invited by Guo Jia.

When Zhao Hui was about to see Lu Zhi, he was still quite apprehensive in his heart.

Lu Zhi is also very upright.

When he was in Luoyang, in the face of Dong Zhuo, who was in power, he dared to scold him in person.

If Lu Zhi opposes Zhao Hui, then it will form a big obstacle to Zhao Hui's rule over Youzhou.

Killing him is definitely not going to kill.

At the beginning, even if Dong Zhuo wanted to stab Lu Zhi to death with a sword with his own hand, he finally endured it.

To dare to kill Lu Zhi is to push himself to the forefront.

But after they really met, Zhao Hui was relieved, he didn't know what Guo Jia said to Lu Zhi.

When Lu Zhi saw Zhao Hui, although he didn't show much closeness.

But he looked terrible, saying that he was very optimistic about Zhao Hui.

Lu Zhi is nearly sixty years old, especially after returning from Luoyang, many thoughts have faded.

Now he is no longer a general who leads troops to fight thieves, nor is he a scholar in the court, he is just an old man.

Lu Zhi promised Zhao Hui that he could serve as the dean of the Noble Academy that was about to come out.

You can also give lectures to students in the academy on weekdays.

But he only said what he wanted to talk about, and Zhao Hui did not interfere with his teaching.

Zhao Hui doesn't care about what these wealthy children can learn.

What he wanted was Lu Zhi's signboard, and Zhao Hui simply agreed to these requests made by Lu Zhi.

These requirements are not deliberately difficult for Zhao Hui.

Although Lu Zhi was the dean, he did not want to interfere in the finances of the college.

Lu Zhi did not ask for more rights, but Zhao Hui was a little surprised.

Zhao Hui also wanted to give Lu Zhi a little more power.

But Lu Zhi didn't want to accept it.

Lu Zhi doesn't have too many requirements now, just be able to live his life in peace.

The first folk newspaper of the beginning of spring! 100,000 copies were sent to the counties, and they were soon sold out.

The biggest thing is naturally that Lu Zhi has become the dean of Youzhou Academy.

Although Zhao Hui kept shouting about the aristocratic academy and the wealthy academy, the sign at the entrance of the academy was still hung by Youzhou Academy.

In addition to Lu Zhi's name, the most striking thing is that the tuition fee is 30,000 yuan a year.

If you want to continue your studies in the second year, the tuition fee will be doubled.

It completely prevented the disciples of ordinary families from entering.

Since it was for the disciples of the wealthy family, Zhao Hui never thought of letting the children of the poor family enter.

If the children of the poor family enter, they will not become the entourage of the children of the wealthy families, but they will only become the object of bullying and ridicule.

The two sides are no longer people of the same world, so why force themselves to live together.

30,000 yuan is still nothing for a real family.

After all, the thyme incense I usually drink is 5,000 yuan per jar.

The tuition fee for one year is nothing more than six altars of thyme.

The thousand miles of incense they drink in a year are more than six altars.

But for the average squire, this money is not something that can be taken out casually.

They can take it out, but it's almost a year's worth of income.

Still, there were squires who gritted their teeth and sent their children in.

can follow Lu Zhi, no matter how they learn, after they go out, Lu Zhi's students are a signboard, and people who don't know the details will look up to them.

is like Liu Bei at the beginning, after King Jing of Zhongshan, he said the most.

And the second most talked about is to learn from Lu Zhi.

That's who they go up.

The status of a Lu Zhi student is enough to raise their status in the eyes of others to a higher level.
