Outside Kaifeng Mansion, a river that reaches Luoyang is being excavated and dredged.

Countless people sweating like rain on the river, and below are women and children who have come to deliver food, each carrying clay pots and chopsticks, and greeting each other.

After a while, the people who were working would come down and have a big meal, and then give their wages to their daughters-in-law and continue their work in the afternoon.

On both sides of the road, there are officials of the imperial court, who take shade in the shade of the trees, and at the same time maintain law and order, they also guard against the robbery of these women and children.

Contrary to Yang Lin's expectations, after the new prime minister Bai Shizhong came to power, he changed his past submissiveness and took the initiative to manage many major things, such as recruiting people to dredge the rivers of Luoyang, Chang'an and Bianliang.

These things were all things that Yang Lin wanted to do, and he didn't inform him, but Bai Shizhong was able to take the initiative to come up with them.

Yang Lin was overjoyed, and couldn't help but sigh that in ancient times, who could achieve the position of prime minister was mediocre.

If it weren't for the exquisite mind and the ability to figure out the boss, he would have disappeared in the big waves of officialdom and disappeared namelessly.

This is especially the case in the Great Song Dynasty, where there were thousands of Jinshi every year, and over the years, there were a few people left on the top-level political stage.

In today's imperial court policy, Yang Lin's new policy in Dali has reformed the branches and leaves of officialdom, and the main body of the policy in detail is still Cai Jing's new policy.

Some of the measures taken by Bai Shizhong after he came to power are actually some more detailed improvements on the basis of these two.

For example, the residential maintenance system and the civil servant system have received more funding, so that these working people no longer complain, but enthusiastically sign up.

Yang Lin was completely relieved, there was such a prime minister in internal affairs, and he would have more energy to arrange the general strategy of the north.

Now one gold and one Liao, three-legged, although the Great Liao has declined, but after integrating all the forces, the effect is similar to that of the Western Xia that was once sandwiched between Song and Liao. The fortified cities of Yunzhou Mansion used to be the most dangerous points of the Han family, and if they were really guarded by Yelu Dashi, it would not be so easy to take. The Khitans were left with this little remnant of mountains and rivers, and their soldiers also knew that there was no way back.

The atrocities of the Jurchens also made many Khitan people desperately flee west into today's Yunzhou Mansion.

When the Jurchens got the grasslands of western Liaoning, they had Zahu and Tatars as a source of soldiers, and it is unknown when they would be able to ambush these Tatars. After obtaining almost all the smelting methods of the Bohai Sea and the Khitan, the Jurchens at this time were no worse than the Great Song Dynasty in making blades and armor.

In Zhaode Fang, Yang Lin rarely had time to give lectures to a group of apprentices in the outer courtyard.

Those who can come in to listen to the class, except for the proud protégés of Wu Min and Yuan Tingzhi and others, are the related households sent by the children of the senior members of the DPRK Central Committee through the back door.

In a gazebo not far away, the light curtains were hidden on all sides, and the breeze struck, and the veils swayed like a mist. There are many ladies and daughters of official eunuchs gathered inside, and they also come to have a lively listen, but it is inevitable that there are more women chirping, which attracts the dissatisfied eyes of many people outside the pavilion who are attentively listening.

"A gentleman is a learner, a clear way, a salvation, if the husband is endowed with poetry and songs, he can entertain others and entertain himself, but it is not a road. After all, it is carved seals, so what good is it? You may say that the salvation of the world is the work of princes and generals, so what does it have to do with us? Today, I want to say that the rise and fall of the world is the responsibility of the husband! ”

The students below were all red-faced, excited, and silently recited this sentence.

Sometimes, one sentence can really bring a lot of power.

This sentence is the rise and fall of the world, and the husband is responsible, and it obviously has such power.

The scholars were overjoyed, and when they looked at each other, they all saw the excitement in each other's eyes. At this time, a few chuckles came from inside the pavilion, which annoyed a scholar next to him.

Although this person is dressed as a scholar, he is burly and majestic, and his face is still very immature.

He got up and shouted into the pavilion: "Shaozai said: The rise and fall of the world, the husband is responsible, the direct teaching of us is boiling, such a deafening warning to the world, why are you laughing!" ”

His voice was so loud that even Yang Lin was attracted to him, and everyone looked sideways. I saw a few ripe apricots thrown out of the pavilion, and he was beaten again and again, embarrassed. The onlookers laughed loudly, although they didn't like these women not listening quietly, but no one touched this mold.

These are all wealthy and noble girls in Kaifeng Mansion, and if they are taken by one of them, they can fight for ten years less. With Yang Lin's power, he had to agree with them to listen to the lecture, but this man dared to flirt, he was really ignorant and fearless.

The guards next to him hurriedly pulled this straight man of steel away, he was still indignant, Yang Lin hooked the corners of his mouth, and laughed out loud: "A gentleman does not stand under the dangerous wall, this is a negative example, bring him up." ”

After this scholar came up, he didn't have the anger he had just now towards Yang Lin, and he had a look of reverence. Clasped his fists and bowed: "I've seen Shaozai." ”

"What's your name?" Yang Lin likes this kind of person who looks simple, but has a clear mind, and those who can be present today are not stupid, and the one in front of him knows at a glance that there is no background, and it must be recommended by his own students, so he will not be a stupid person.

"Student Yang Yizhong."

Ma Kuan, who was sitting next to Yang Lin, got up and said in a low voice: "This is Yang Yizhong of Daizhou County, and he is my friend." Born with divine power, the former Jurchen went south, he covered up his involvement in the army, and made a lot of military exploits, and after Yan Xiyin died, he gave up his position in the army and returned to his hometown to study. ”

Yang Lin nodded lightly and asked, "How do you understand the rise and fall of the world, and the husband is responsible?" ”

Yang Yizhong was very excited, and said with his head held high: "The student believes that when there is a foreign offense, every Han person should be angry, and if the enemy does not bow his head, does not kneel, does not bend his knees, and fights with the thief, then the Han Road will be prosperous and the world will be strong." ”

Yang Lin liked this burly mountain-like scholar a little bit in his heart, and asked, "I heard that you abandoned literature and returned to your hometown to study in martial arts, why did you leave?" ”

Yang Yizhong blurted out: "At that time, the students thought that the eldest husband should use martial arts to win wealth and nobility, but after a few battles, they found that force cannot determine victory or defeat, and the art of war is the king." ”

Yang Lin even loved talent in his heart, guarded the hundred and ten scholars below, and asked: "In the Beijing Forbidden Army, you can practice literature and martial arts, are you willing to participate?" ”

"Originally, I wasn't very interested, but if Shaozai was invited, the students would not be very honored."

"This forbidden army must have a clean family background, even I can't make an exception for it, Yang Yizhong, what is your background?"

Yang Yizhong's expression was upright, full of pride: "My grandfather was the head of the Yongxing Military Road, and he died in battle; My father once knew that Linzhou Jianning Village was killed in battle. ”
