Chapter 184: Start with a blank slate

A year ago, a group of stunned little guys led countless victims to create a miracle, they built neat and warm houses, wide and flat streets, and strong and thick walls...... From scratch, these houses sheltered 200,000 people, in the past disaster relief of the Great Song Dynasty, even if they tried their best, they would lose two or three percent of the people, and the catastrophe of hundreds of thousands of people could save half of the population, and the people had to build ancestral halls to worship the disaster relief officials.

Of the millions of victims, less than 100,000 were lost, still under the situation of the Liao Kou invasion.

Even after a long time afterwards, the students of the Six Arts still felt extremely proud and enthusiastic. There are so many academies in the world, but they can only cultivate rotten Confucian acid, but only the six arts, the unity of knowledge and action, can give students unprecedented experience.

These young men full of enthusiasm have forgotten what it means to be difficult, and they haven't noticed Wang Ningan's evil smile at all, the big guys just sign up frantically, competing for precious opportunities, for fear of falling behind.

In this way, in less than a day's effort, Wang Ningan had more than 300 people in his hands, although the manpower was still a little weak, but it was already operational.

The first question assigned by Wang Ningan to everyone is what is most urgently needed in Pingxian County.

Some people quickly gave answers, such as educating the people, such as promoting the church to judge cases, presiding over justice, such as persuading farmers to teach agriculture, and building land temples and city god temples to appease people's hearts and recruit government officials...... There are all kinds of answers, and Wang Ningan laughed at everyone's conclusions and was noncommittal.

At this time, the students found that such as Han Zongwu, Su Shi, Su Zhe, Zeng Bu, Lu Huiqing, etc., the old birds who participated in the last practice had already disappeared without a trace.

What are you kidding, practice is not a waste of time to sit and talk about it, not to walk around the city, not to see the real situation of the people, to talk in the empty here and whimsical!

Even the laziest Su Shi was not far behind, walking around the city, asking the people, running to various shops, observing the transactions, going to teahouses and restaurants, and listening to the topics that the people were most concerned about...... Wang Ningan told them that the vitality of the people exists, if you just look at the boring figures, it may make people crazy, and if you go to the people, you will have a different understanding.

For example, the master of the "Chinese Collapse Theory" in later generations changed the soup almost every year, and the same routine, as long as it was slightly postponed, he could earn a large amount of manuscript fees, in contrast, the author of a certain point still had to dig out his mind, rack his brains, and bring forth the new, and if he couldn't keep up, he would be cruelly abandoned...... Being an economist is obviously much easier than being a writer, and it's all tears when you say it.

In fact, what collapse is not collapsed, as long as you take a turn around the market and look at the bustling aunts, who are still stuffing the basket with all kinds of vegetables and meat, you will know that the so-called collapse is nonsense......

Similarly, the students who have gone around in a big circle in Pingxian County have gradually figured out in their hearts that they must first analyze the situation in Pingxian County, and the so-called dialectical treatment must see where the advantages and disadvantages are.

Su Zhe, who has always been not good at words, spoke first, he was much shyer than his brother, with a red face, but his thinking was very clear, and his voice was very good.

"Ping County is not a county at all, when the city was built last year, it was just a resettlement area for disaster victims, so Mr. said slums, right! The people in the city were simply distributed to each city according to the original village. There was no yamen, no servants, no public servants, nothing in the city. In the past, governance relied on the people themselves, and the officials of the imperial court who were responsible for disaster relief, and if something happened, it would be solved by military law! If last year, we were faced with the victims who had nothing, this year we are also facing a blank Pingxian County! We need to give order to this county! ”

After Su Zhe finished speaking, Wang Ningan's eyes lit up, and he gave a thumbs up, and suddenly Su Zhe's face was red, and he looked very excited.

"Ziyou is right, that big guy said how to give order and where to start."

This time, Zeng Bu seized the opportunity, "Fang Caizi said that Pingxian is blank, and if the officers and soldiers and the officials of disaster relief withdraw, the city will inevitably fall into chaos, so order must be given to the city." And I found that Pingxian has infinite potential, compared with other cities, Pingxian has a large population, thriving industry, just a whaling, to feed more than 100,000 people, the rest to make wine, sugar, in addition to open a field, it can be said that Pingxian is very financially strong, temporary chaos is not a problem, so I think, should immediately establish a tax system, as long as the money is collected, everything will be easy to do. ”

It is worthy of being the third envoy under the throne of Wang Anshi, the leader of financial reform, Zeng Bu was young, and he set his sights on money.

Some freshmen are still very unaccustomed to opening and closing their mouths to money, thinking that taxation is to exploit the people, and they dare not agree with Zeng Bu's ideas. But the old students all agree, everything is closed without money, how can you do it without money!

But it's not enough to just make money, there are more important things!

Su Shi and Han Zongwu looked at each other, and they both understood. Han Zongwu smiled and said, "Senior Brother Su, what do you think, hurry up and say it, don't hide it." ”

Su Shi was rarely modest, "If what I say is not good, please ask Senior Brother Han to correct me...... I think that the top priority is to recruit people and protect Pingxian, don't forget, less than 200 miles away, across the Baigou River, that is the Liao Iron Cavalry, we live in the shadow of the Liao soldiers, if in winter, the Baigou River freezes again, when the Liao soldiers go south, we have no ability to protect themselves, no matter how much wealth will only become the spoils of the Liao State! ”

At this time, a freshman suddenly stood up, "I, I don't believe it, the Liao State has signed an alliance with the Great Song Dynasty, or Mr. Wang personally participated, how could the Liao State renounce the alliance and go south again?" Could it be that the covenant that Mr. Wang talked about was in vain? ”

Han Zongwu glanced at this junior, it was really rare, there was such an innocent child in the Six Arts Academy, and he didn't know whether he was relieved or embarrassed.

"The wolf ambition of the Liao State, a few decades ago, also signed the alliance of the Yuanyuan, the Liao State is not entering the army every year, counting on a paper covenant, it will limit hundreds of thousands of iron horses, it is whimsical!"

"So by what?" The freshman was not convinced by the airway.

"By strength! In the past, although the Great Song Dynasty was unfavorable in the field, the Liao State did not dare to go south in a big way with hundreds of thousands of troops, so it was just looting at the border. However, according to the alliance of Qingzhou, the city wall of Pingxian County shall not be higher than two zhang, the moat, and the city gate are strictly restricted. ”

The freshman's face was solemn, he kept gritting his teeth and shaking his head vigorously, "No, no, according to what Senior Brother said, why do you sign a covenant?" Just organize the army and fight the military, and don't get along with the old and dead of the Liao State! They are so sinister, why are they still trading? ”

This freshman is almost in his twenties, a few years older than Han Zongwu and Su Shi, but listening to his arguments, he doesn't feel mature at all, on the contrary, he feels very naΓ―ve.

Wang Ningan didn't want the students to fight anymore, so he had to speak: "Of course, the covenant has some effect, when the strength is similar, there are more covenants, there are more restrictions, is it justified!" It would be a big mistake to pin all your hopes on the covenant, and I want to tell the big guys that the so-called covenant is born to tear up! If the Liao State is not torn up, we must also tear it up at the right time, our goal is Yanyun, it is to destroy the Liao State, and it is the Zhongxing Great Song Dynasty...... For the sake of this goal, we can do whatever it takes! ”

Wang Ningan's words won the cheers of almost everyone, and many enthusiastic students were full of blood when they heard that Yanyun was restored.

According to Han Zongwu and Su Shi's suggestion, everyone went back to discuss a method of recruiting troops, which would be implemented immediately tomorrow, and everyone dispersed.

Only the freshman was still sitting there, holding his head, his face changed color, and Wang Ning'an's words kept echoing in his ears, the covenant was born to be torn apart!

What a reckless remark, and is there any integrity and morality?

A gentleman is cautious, since he has signed a contract, he can't have evil thoughts. As a state of etiquette, the disciples of Confucius and Mencius should educate the barbarians and let them get rid of their bad habits, how can they learn the same as the barbarians, so what do they have to study? What other sage path is being pursued?

I came from Luoyang hard, because I admired the reputation of the Six Arts, and knew that there were many great Confucians in the world here. But I never imagined that the teacher of the six arts would turn his back on the way of the sages, but there were still a large number of students who followed and responded......

"Cheng Hao, Cheng Hao, my cousin has said, set up a heart for heaven and earth, establish a life for the people, continue to learn for the saints, and open peace for all generations...... Such a traitorous statement like the Six Arts Academy, I definitely can't stay in the world, I must defeat them! ”

Cheng Hao ignited a monstrous fighting spirit and vowed to compete with the Six Arts.

This one was thinking hard, and the other students of the Six Arts were actively thinking about ways to recruit soldiers, and early the next day, Su Shi and they posted the recruitment notice.

Until noon, there were very few applicants, less than a hundred, and they looked crookedly wearing hats, loose and idle, not a good person.

When a few people meet, why are the common people reluctant to join the army?

Su Zhe explained the reason, "A good man is not a soldier, and a good iron is not a nail." As long as you join the army, you have to tattoo words on your face, and you can't wash it off for the rest of your life, if you are not cornered, who wants to do it? ”

"Then, there is no one to be a soldier, who will protect Ping County?" Zeng Bu is embarrassed.

Han Zongwu thought for a long time, then suddenly gritted his teeth and said, "Then don't stab the words!" ”

"Don't stab? So how do you distinguish identity? Su Zhe was puzzled.

Everyone was silent for a while, and suddenly Su Shi patted his brother's shoulder and smiled proudly, "What's so difficult about this, those who are officials have waist card fish bags, and we can also issue waist cards to soldiers." ”

Su Zhe hesitated: "Brother, can you do it?" ”

"Okay, ask Mr. Wang, let him have an idea!" After speaking, Su Shi ran away, and the other students also rushed to find Wang Ning'an.
