In July in Koto, it rained heavily.

Jiangdong, which has completely entered the rainy season, seems to be raining rain repeatedly, Wujun was pouring heavy rain a few days ago, but it did not last long, followed by light rain, but Lujiang, Danyang, Huiji, Yuzhang for more than ten days all appeared to rain violently.

In the General's Mansion, Zhang Zhao's face was stern, and he showed a comfortable smile in his hand with reports from all over the country.

This time, because of the heavier rains in Jiangdong than in previous years, there were indeed slight floods, and the water level of the Yangtze River waterway soared, and floods occurred in the Pengze area and the Poyang Lake Plain, inundating many areas and affecting nearly tens of thousands of people.

However, because of Sun Quan's previous reminder, he was on guard, and in the name of the General's Mansion, he gave death orders to all parts of the country, mentioning flood prevention, and in addition to the fact that the battle of Yuzhang was not fought, a lot of food accumulated in Jiangdong was not a big casualty.

When the disaster appeared, Sun Jian was still in Yuzhang, and personally came forward to pull Zhou Yu's army out to rescue the disaster, and the disaster was controlled in an instant, and the number of casualties was not more than 100, but there was no big problem.

After all, in this era, the awareness of prevention is insufficient, even if it is a minor natural disaster, there will be thousands of deaths, and this time the casualties can be controlled under the three digits, which is a great luck.

And because of this disaster relief, Sun Jian's tall image was erected in Yuzhang all of a sudden, and the hearts of many people in Yuzhang were bought, making it easier for the General's Mansion to control Yuzhang.

……

At the beginning of the third year, August, the beginning of the year.

After pacifying the Lujiang River in Yuzhang, and then controlling the small flood in Zha, Sun Jian quickly returned to Wu County, Wu County, under the escort of the overlord iron cavalry led by Tai Shici, and presided over the overall situation of Jiangdong.

"Zibu!"

In the General's Mansion, Sun Jian, who had just returned to Wu County, immediately began to discuss with Zhang Zhao the candidate for Yuzhang Taishou, after all, Yuzhang Taishou's position could not be vacant for a long time, which was not conducive to his control of Yuzhang.

Sun Jian looked at Zhang Zhao and asked, "What do you think of the candidate for the Yuzhang County Guard?" ”

"My lord, although you divide Yuzhang County into Yuzhang and Luling counties, Yuzhang County still has a decisive influence on the rule of the General's Mansion." Zhang Zhao pondered for a long time before he said: "This candidate must be cautious, in the current situation, the people in the general's mansion are indeed not easy to choose." ”

"How is Wei Teng?" Sun Jian stared at him and asked.

"Wei Teng? Wei Teng of the Wei family, although he is in the prime of life, an old fox, this person is indeed talented, this is a good candidate, but what is the attitude of the Wei family towards the lord? Zhang Zhao was a little jealous of the first family of Yuzhang and asked.

"The Wei family has already contacted a certain person, Wei Teng contributed food and effort in this flood in the Poyang Lake Plain, and it can be regarded as a show of attitude, even if he does not surrender, he will not go against the general's mansion, so Wei Teng still has to use it, after all, if you want to control Yuzhang, the Wei family is a stone that we can't get around."

Sun Jian said lightly.

The influence of the family can touch every corner of the ruler, and it is not difficult to defeat it, but if you want to control it, you must rely on the local family and the powerful.

"But if we use him, it is difficult to guarantee that Yuzhang will not become the territory of the Wei family, on the surface, the general's mansion is dominating, but in fact, it is out of the control of the general's mansion, after all, the influence of the Wei family in Yuzhang is not comparable to Huaxin, so we must guard against it." Zhang Zhao said with some concern.

"That's also a worry in someone's heart." Sun Jian sighed and said, "I want to use it, but I don't dare to use it." ”

"Lord, why don't you do this!"

Zhang Zhao's eyes moved, and he had an idea in his heart, and said: "Transfer Cheng Taishou of Huiji to Yuzhang, and then let Wei Teng appoint him as Huiji Taishou, in Huiji, he Wei Teng can't make waves." ”

"Huiji? What about the Yu family? When Sun Jian heard this, his eyes lit up and he asked.

"Yu turned over and we've been cold for a long time, it's time to reuse it, let him enter the general, a certain family has a lot of work recently, let him give a hand to a certain family, how about it?" There was a sly glint in Zhang Zhao's eyes.

"Zibu! You're cunning enough, don't you just want them to fight. Sun Jian suddenly understood in his heart that Huiji was the territory of the Yu family, Wei Teng inserted one foot into it, and it was impossible to do nothing, but this would inevitably affect the interests of the Yu family, and the collision of the two families would inevitably occur.

"Lord, speak well, you can call a certain witty, strategic, and a certain is giving you advice, you see, a certain person thinks about this thing these days, and his gray hair is overgrown." Zhang Zhao grinned, a serious corrective way.

"Hahaha, a scholar has a lot of eyes, okay, and you will be rewarded for your meritorious deeds." Sun Jian was in a good mood and laughed.

…………………………

In August, Koto was even more lively, and the most important of which was the establishment of the 'Koto Academy' in the name of the General's Mansion to recruit students from the whole of Koto with an open enrollment.

This time, Sun Quan has made a lot of efforts, and some of Cai Yong's reputation, coupled with the teaching books provided by movable type printing, did not refuse to come, and even in the name of the general's mansion, he issued a clear report to each county under the command of the six counties of Jiangdong to spread the reputation of Jiangdong Academy.

And the most important thing is that in this statement, it is mentioned that the General's Mansion adheres to the meaning that the people of Jiangdong are equal, and both the poor and the scholars can be admitted to the Jiangdong Academy, and the great Confucian Cai Yong also personally issued a declaration of education and classlessness.

More importantly, the notice of Jiangdong Academy directly indicates that any student who enrolls in Jiangdong Academy does not charge any tuition fees except for food, and the books of the college are also free.

The reason why he collects food expenses is not that Sun Quan attaches importance to this money, it can be regarded as a boundary, he can't even eat enough, and he won't come to school.

The reputation of Jiangdong Academy instantly spread throughout Jiangdong, and many scholars from all over the country began to be moved, especially the name of Cai Yong, which made them even more itchy, and they rushed to Wu County.

……………………

In Wu County, as soon as several big families of the scholar clan in the city received this news, they felt that this was a means of the General's Mansion against the family, and these family members of the scholar family were suddenly a little flustered, and they all sat together for the first time to discuss countermeasures.

"Regardless of the Hanmen clan, is Wu Hou targeting us?" In a wide hall, the patriarch of a family whispered, "What does he want to do?" “

"Wu Hou has long been dissatisfied with the scholars in Jiangdong, and now that he has unified Jiangdong, he is already fearless of us, so he will naturally take action against us." Someone said coldly.

"In this way, there will inevitably be a large number of students in Jiangdong Academy, I really don't understand, there are so many scholars from there who copy textbooks for them?" Someone wondered.

They don't know about Sun Quan's movable type printing, in this era, copying a book, can only be copied by hand, a academy is definitely not teaching a book, there are many students, there are not enough books, which is why in this era, education is backward The reason is that if there are no books, what else to teach.

"No books, Koto Academy? I want to see how Wu Hou can maintain it. The head of the family gloated.

"Otherwise, if we launch an offensive and make Jiangdong Academy notorious, it can be regarded as a wake-up call for Wu Hou."

One person's voice is very indifferent, but it is very firm, the scholar clan has the strengths of the scholar clan, the scholar is their domain, it is not possible to bring down the general's mansion, if they want to destroy the reputation of Jiangdong Academy, they are still absolutely sure.

"No, the head of a certain family has an order, Jiangdong Academy has Cai Zhonglang as a sacrificial wine, if it is a hard touch, I am afraid it will anger this great Confucian, and it will not be good for us." The representative of the Gu family said in a low voice.

"The head of a certain family has the same meaning, you can't touch Cai Zhonglang, but he gave a certain sentence and asked him to pass it on to you."

The representative of the Lu family, his eyes moved slightly, looked at the family residents, and said loudly: "This is a battlefield drawn by Wu Hou, representing the majesty of Wu Hou, we can't jump out of this battlefield, but we can tell the ability of Wu Hou's Jiangdong family within the rules of this battlefield." ”

"What the Lu family means is that we also sent scholars into Jiangdong Academy, and in the academy, we suppressed those sons of poor families and took the lead!" Everyone immediately understood, and someone said aloud.

"The same is true for our Gu family, we are ready to send the best students of the Gu family to Jiangdong Academy." The representative of the Gu family smiled slightly and said.

"This is a great kindness, and we will also send the best students of the family to it." The patriarchs of the Wu County Scholar clan agreed one by one, after all, they were the bosses in this field of scholars.

……

"Brother Tiean, Jiangdong Academy is recruiting students in a big way, and Cai Zhonglang is also a sacrificial wine and teaches in person, what do you think?"

"Brother Zifeng, Wu Hou personally issued a notice, this matter should be true, there is really a plan to rush to Wu County, if you can enter Jiangdong Academy, you have to be taught by Cai Zhonglang personally, and you will live up to what you have learned in this life!"

"I also think that I should take a look, Jiangdong Academy is such a big deal, it must not be simple."

"I really should take a look, even if it's a lie, it's just a trip to Wu County, and it's not harmless to us."

In a county town in Danyang County, several young scholars involuntarily got together and expressed their opinions one after another, obviously interested in Jiangdong Academy.

This situation is not uncommon under the command of the six counties of Jiangdong, and even the three counties that have just been annexed to Lujiang, Yuzhang, and Luling are also very popular.

……

The news of Jiangdong Academy has not only spread in Jiangdong, Xuzhou and Jingzhou, two places with a strong academic atmosphere, have heard the news, and some of them do not believe it, and naturally some people believe it and go to Jiangdong.

Xuzhou, Huaiyin City.

A young man in cloth clothes, who completed the work of a large family, took less than 100 yuan in wages, dragged his tired body, and returned to his dilapidated home, at this time a young man came to visit.

"Ziqi." When the cloth-clothed young man looked at it, his expression was slightly happy: "When will you come?" ”

"Zishan."

When Wei Jing saw his friend, he greeted him softly, and then directly said his purpose, saying, "I came here this time to invite you to Jiangdong together." ”

"To Koto? Why? "Although the cloth-clothed young man Buqi was born in a scholar family, his family was poor since he was a child, and his life was not good.

"Koto Academy!"

Wei Jing is also a person from a poor family, he and Bu Qi are friends, so he whispered: "We are all people who have no way to study, a certain family wants to try their luck, if they can study, they will have a future." ”

"You've decided." Buqi knew something about Jiangdong Academy, which was recently famous in Jiangdong and already had a reputation in Xuzhou, and he was also moved, after all, Jiangdong Academy said that they could still do it without fees, just food expenses.

"Hmm!" Wei Jing nodded.

"Jiangdong Road is not far, Wu County is on the other side of the river, then a certain family will accompany you to see if Wu Hou's notice is true." Bu Qi's eyes burst out with a gleam, and said.
