In the counties of Guanzhong, as the weather gradually turns colder, the people's agricultural activities have also begun to end. At least, not like in the past, I stayed in the ground every day. It's rare to have leisure, so everyone gets together in twos and threes, chatting and chatting! At this time, it was not like the Qin Dynasty, when everyone was not able to discuss the government together, many people got together, and sometimes it became illegal.

Therefore, when everyone is together, they basically have no scruples, and they can say whatever they want. Especially the people in the county, that's even more so, taking advantage of the work of doing business, the neighbors, you and I have a good chat!

This is also because the life of the people in Guanzhong is better now, otherwise, everyone would have to be busy looking for food, where is the time to chat here!

Since Li Xin blocked the road from Qinzhou to Hanzhong, Sichuan and Shu, all merchants who came from the west to the east, no matter which direction they went, they had to enter Guanzhong.

In this way, a huge Guanzhong has become a cargo distribution center, a necessary place for business travelers to stop.

As a result, the service industry in Guanzhong counties began to develop, and there were many more restaurants and inns. Moreover, due to the large number of sources of goods, there are many more strange things in the entire Guanzhong.

For the people, they have more choices, and their daily life is naturally more colorful, and everyone is much happier. Many people have also got business opportunities because of the merchants who came and went, and they found a way to support their families.

Especially under the rule of the Huashan Army, now that the officials are in charge of the Qingming Dynasty and the situation is stable, for many merchants, they simply stayed here. They will sell their goods in Guanzhong~ and then find other merchants from Guanzhong, and then buy goods to other places.

In this way, whether it is a merchant from the Western Regions or a merchant from Jiangzuozhong, they can basically find what they want, and they no longer have to go to a distant place to find a source of goods.

Chang'an City, in particular, is becoming more and more prosperous, and the popularity on the street is getting higher and higher. Many people in Chang'an feel that this Chang'an is like a sleeping giant, and now it is slowly waking up.

Every day, people from all over the world enter Chang'an City, and it can be said that there is an endless stream, and there is almost no stop from morning to night.

"Hey, you see, what's the notice on the wall?" Early in the morning, some people who were about to enter the city inadvertently saw that outside the city gate, there were a few officials brushing paste there, pasting paper on the city wall. Everyone loves to watch the excitement, so they all gathered around after a while.

"Listen, everyone, this is an order from the general! From this day onwards, schools will be set up in every county, and all children in the family will be allowed to attend school for both boys and girls who have reached the age of seven! If anyone dares to stop this, or if they don't let their children go to school, they will be held accountable! When he had finished posting, one of the petty officers turned around and shouted to the crowd.

"School? It's good to open a school! It's a good thing to be able to let your child read! ”

"That's right! It's just that we don't have any money, we can't afford to pay for the bundle of repairs, and we can't afford to buy pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, how can this be good!? ”

"The girl has to go to school, how can this work?"

......

As soon as they heard these words, the people present couldn't help but blow up the pot, and everyone started to talk about it. In general, everyone is still positive about this matter, the problem is, there are many worries!

"My lord, we ordinary people are illiterate and have poor families! Reading is a good thing, but I'm afraid we can't afford it! One of the people timidly asked the official.

"Don't worry, the general has thought about this a long time ago. But if you send your children to school, you will not be charged, and pen, ink, paper, inkstone and other things will also be provided by the government! Moreover, the children study in school, and the government is responsible for lunch meals! When the official heard this, he couldn't help but smile and said.

This problem is almost the biggest problem of this era, so it is natural that it has been considered for a long time.

"Really? If that's the case, that's great! The general really cares about the people! I'm going back now, and let my two boys hurry up and get ready to go to school! Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and then said with great joy.

Not only outside Chang'an County, but after a day, this scene happened in the entire Guanzhong to the east of the river. For a time, the people in the entire Guanzhong and Hedong land were talking about this matter.

However, if you want to officially enroll, it is not so easy! First of all, the Master's arrangement, which requires a lot of manpower, and it is really not an easy thing to find so many qualified masters.

Relatively speaking, these masters who teach rural studies are easier to find, because their duty is mainly only enlightenment, and the real problem is those who teach deeper things later! The further you go, the higher the requirements for these masters.

From the perspective of demand, there is no doubt that the most basic township and county schools have the largest demand for masters. After all, that level has the most students.

In addition, you have to prepare textbooks and textbooks, prepare pen, ink, paper, inkstone and other things, which all require a lot of money. In comparison, it is easiest to set up a school.

Due to the wars in Guanzhong and Hedong in the past, there are a large number of empty houses in each county. After Xue Zan went to inspect them, he proposed to transform the suitable ones of these ownerless houses into schools, and this suggestion was agreed by Li Xin.

Generally calculated, I'm afraid that I don't even want to officially start school this year. Fortunately, now that Xue Zan and the others are going to worry about this matter~ worry, Li Xin doesn't have to worry too much. His attention now is basically on Qinzhou's side, waiting for the opportunity to send troops.

The opportunity came much faster than expected, and not long after the plan was arranged, Zhang Qian led people into Guzang City, thus mastering the overall situation of Liangzhou.

At this time, Zhang Qian was already a self-proclaimed envoy, the governor of the Chinese and foreign military, Shang Shuling, Liangzhou Mu, and Zhangye County Duke! And Song Ming, who was the first to enter the city and get rid of Zhang Zuo and others, was instead appointed as Shangshu's right servant.

And seven-year-old Zhang Xuanliang is only the nominal lord of Liangzhou at this time.

This is nothing, after all, if the entire Liangzhou has no opinions, then there will naturally be no problem. But the problem is that many people have opinions!

First, the Xiping people Wei Qi occupied Xiping County, and then raised troops against Zhang Zong, and then, Jiuquan Taishou Maji, also raised troops to echo Wei Qi. As a result, there were two places of turmoil ~ chaos in the entire Liangzhou at once, which was a huge blow to Zhang Qiang, who had just taken over the power of Liangzhou.

Needless to say, Xiping County is exactly the place that Li Xin is eyeing. And this Jiuquan County, in the area of Jiuquan City in later generations, is a large county in Liangzhou. And this county is located in the northwest of Wuwei County, with only two counties in between.

It can be said that the rebellion in Xiping County threatened the southern end of the Hexi Corridor, and the rebellion in Jiuquan County just blocked the northwest exit of the Hexi Corridor! In this way, Wuwei and other counties sandwiched in the narrow strip of the Hexi Corridor will be trapped inside.

If Zhang Qian can't open up this situation, it means that there are only three or four counties left in his Liangzhou. The front is blocked, the back is blocked, and he, the lord of Liangzhou, basically only has one name left.

Under such a situation, Zhang Qian naturally can't bear it! After getting the news, he immediately sent his general Niu Ba to lead his troops to Xiping County to quell the rebellion! However, compared to him, Huashanjun got the news earlier than him!

In the old crow castle, now a closed city already has a rough appearance! In a few days, it should be done.

"General, Xiping County is against Zhang Qiang! Now it seems that it is a good opportunity for us to do it! After getting the news, Zhou Tong convened several generals to discuss the matter, and the general said.

"Opportunity is opportunity, but we have to wait! Sending troops at this time is not justified! Righteousness, although it is nothing, but whether there is or not, it is different! The order will be postponed for the next few days, so that the soldiers can rest well in preparation for the unexpected! Zhou Tong shook his head, vetoed the proposal to send troops immediately, and ordered instead.

"Then, according to the general's opinion, when should we send troops?" The general below was a little puzzled and asked.

"Zhang Qian will inevitably send troops to quell the rebellion, with the strength of Wei Qi, he may be able to stop it for a while, but it will definitely not last long. If it is irresistible, it will inevitably ask us for help, and at that time, it is the best time for us to send troops! Zhou Tong pondered for a moment and said.

Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but nod their heads. Indeed, if the other party comes to ask for help, then he will be famous.

The people who got the order hurriedly went down and quietly prepared. Zhou Tong, on the other hand, looked at the map, after all, it is likely that there will be a real war next. Once the war starts, it is necessary to march quickly and take the entire Jincheng and Xiping County.

Otherwise, the war will last for a long time, which will be a great disadvantage to the current Huashan army. After all, the Huashan Army, which had planned to take a good rest, had to mobilize again for this matter.

A lot of supplies began to tilt here, a quick and less intense local war, that is what the Huashan army wants. Zhou Tong knew this very well, so he had to plan it well.

In order to achieve this goal, he had to discuss it with Hu Tian in the east before he could start his operation.
