Yungo County is the county seat of Huining County, and it is also the trading hub of Jincheng County and Wuwei, and the goods of the Central Plains and the Western Regions abound in the market, the only strangeness is that there seem to be more soldiers and merchants in the city than the local people. Yao Yi said: "General Xie Yingdeng's army is stationed in Huining Town, for convenience, Huining Town only conducts transactions between the two sides of the government, and the private business can only come to Yunwu County, and the 2,000 people under General Xiang Yang are responsible for public security. Yunwu County is originally a small county, and it has developed in the past two years, but it is still congenitally insufficient. ”

Wei Yi shook his head and said, "Brother Yao, it's too humble, I've been to Beidi County, and it's not like that. ”

Yao Yi smiled and took the two to a public primary school, the site was very simple, two rows of six brick houses, connected by a fence, and the front and back doors were in the middle of the two rows of houses; While the students were in class, Yao Yi showed the fish bag, and the three of them were let in by the doorman. Li Keshi and Wei Yi felt shocked, the four classrooms were full of students, all of them dressed in different clothes, but it could be seen that they were all children of ordinary families, quietly listening to the teacher's lectures.

The three of them turned around lamely and walked out of the back door of the school, Wei Yi said: "It doesn't look like much, but free tuition, one meal, one hundred and fifty or sixty students a year is also a lot of money, I heard that Wuwei and Zhangye students are five or six hundred, but really?" ”

"Of course it's true." Yao Yi led the two of them towards the library on the side of the road, and said as he walked: "Huining County is the front line, so there are some places that will be a little bit, in addition to the Yunwu County government-run primary school, in Huining Town, there is also a private primary school sponsored by Hexi Commercial Bank. Like Zhangye, if you add the county and private primary schools, there are more than 2,000 students, and many miscellaneous people just want to send their children to the school and have a way out in the future, so they agree to settle down. ”

There are only about 200 common books in the library, and there are about 50 pamphlets compiled by Shannan Academy and Mozhuo Academy, including knowledge of geography, machinery, arithmetic, etc. In the eyes of people like Li Keshi and Wei Yi, who were full of poetry and books, this little book was nothing, and when they saw that the management staff divided each book into three volumes and rebound them, and were still copying books in their free time, the two understood that it was to increase the number of books and make it easier for students to borrow them.

Li Keshi said with emotion: "It's not easy to do something, no wonder the eldest brother said that in order to run a school, Hexi has hollowed out his family foundation." ”

Yao Yi nodded in agreement and said: "I also came to Hexi several times back then, before I made up my mind to stay, people always have to do something in their lives, and the current tranquility in Hexi is rare in the Central Plains." ”

Wei Yi said with a smile: "When I get to Zhangye, I'll go and see the middle school and Mozhuo Academy." ”

The reputation of Mozhuo Academy in Chang'an is not ordinarily loud, one is with the help of Shannan Academy, both academies are actually sponsored by Yang Chong, except for arithmetic, most of the majors are not in conflict, so Shannan Academy often introduces Mozhuo Academy to people in Chang'an. The second is the planning of Mozhuo Academy, the first enrollment is arithmetic, architecture, minerals, horse breeding four majors, this year's second enrollment will add medicine, calligraphy and painting, geography, agriculture four majors.

Farming is such a rough job as a profession, although it makes Guozijian laugh, but the officials of many departments in Chang'an send children to study, Yang Chong's vision in terms of things and business, how can a group of Confucian scholars be compared. What's more, at the cost of 1,000 catties of medicinal materials every year, Yang Chong invited Guozhen, the deputy head of the Daye Medical School, to give a guest lecture for a year; The teacher of calligraphy and painting is the master Zhan Ziqian, who is equivalent to Liu Xuan's status in the calligraphy and painting world.

Yang Chong personally greeted him in Zhangye, which surprised Li Zhengming and others, but seeing that the people accompanying him were Jiang Fei and Kong Yingda, everyone understood that this was a private ceremony. Wei Yi secretly praised Yang Chong's beautiful hand, not only did he tell his subordinates that it was a private matter, but he and others did not understand Yang Chong's intentions, no wonder Wei Yuanzhao kept persuading himself in the letter.

Jiang Fei entered the carriage of the Yuan raider, and the sisters said some private words; Yang Chong accompanied Wei Yi and others to ride into the city. Wei Yi knew that Yang Chong's time was precious, so he didn't tell lies, and asked: "Yuan Zhao and Brother Yao have mentioned adults many times, and Wei Yi has admired them for a long time. Don't know where the adults end up? ”

Yang Chongyi pulled the reins, stopped the horse and said, "I'm sorry, I don't know so far. Everyone's end depends on the stage he can stand on, and I'm not sure what kind of stage Da Sui can give me. ”

Wei Yi pretended to be surprised and asked, "Isn't the stage in Hexi and the Western Regions big enough?" ”

is a real celebrity who is self-effacing, and Li Zhengming and Yao Yi would never be able to ask such a thing, which is almost asking Yang Chong whether he is ready to win the Central Plains; Yang Chong said politely: "Please also ask Mr. to teach me." ”

Yang Chongneng has the current achievements, he is by no means a person without plans and brains, this polite sentence is to explore the bottom of Wei descendants, are you ready to defect to me, can you help me on a bigger stage? Wei Yi smiled and said: "The adults are like probing for things in the pass, and what they are worried about is only variables. Whenever there are troubled times, heroes come out in large numbers, and I heard that adults have unpredictable abilities, so why not take the lead and get rid of them one by one, so as to save worry. ”

It's not simple, Wei Yi's unpredictable ability shows that Wei Yi knows his situation very well, Yang Chong smiled: "Since there are many heroes, if you can't get rid of one, there will be another one, it's better to strengthen your own strength; No matter how many means there are, it is best to rely on strength to speak, if there is the capital to crush the opponent, even if the opponent is an invincible general, what is there to fear. Besides, there are some things that are not worth doing. ”

Heroic, Wei Yi has an urge to applaud, a person can still remember that the history will leave a name on the way to compete for power, which shows that Yang Chong's bottom line still exists, and he will not be easily swayed by the devil in his heart. Wei Yi said slowly: "Wei Xuan asked Li Jing to go to Jincheng, it was Xiang Zhuang who danced the sword with the intention of Peigong, and Liupan Mountain was outside Hexi. ”

Yang Chong was very satisfied, Wei Yi not only saw Wei Xuan's intentions, but also was able to say it in front of Li Zhengming, which was rare; How many people arrive at a new unit, and they are submissive to the old employees, lest they be put in small shoes, and in the end they will inevitably go along with the dirt and fool the boss. Yang Chong said seriously: "I have received the official letter from Chang'an, the governor's office has been discussing this matter for the past few days, and there has been a result, and I am ready to agree to Chang'an's request." ”

Agreeing to Chang'an's request, Li Zhengming and the others were stunned, and Wei Yi asked with a smile: "Could it be that Lord Fei has other plans?" ”

Kong Yingda interjected and said, "General Yu, they are still waiting for the banquet, so it is better to go to the governor's mansion to discuss this matter." ”

Kong Yingda didn't want Wei Yi to leave a bad impression on Yang Chong, so he spoke out; Wei Yi didn't seem to understand, and said to himself: "Chief Manager Yang knows that now the craftsmen of Mozhuo Academy and your various business houses and workshops are all your disciples, relying on your breath to breathe, every success you make them excited, and every step you give in makes them worry more, for you and for themselves." ”
