Since reaching a preliminary cooperation intention with Yi Feng in Baihutai, Fang Xuanling put his mind at ease and lived in Huaihuang with peace of mind. Get up early in the morning, go to the morning market in Huaihuang first, and then visit the various yamen officials in Huaihuang City in the morning, which can be regarded as a closer relationship. In the afternoon, I drank tea in the tea room and listened to some market chatter. In the evening, visit the night market in Huaihuang City, choose a restaurant to taste Huaihuang's specialty liquor, and by the way, you can also watch the song and dance performances of orchids. At the end of such a day, it is truly a pleasant physical and mental pleasure and a rare relaxation. He had even fallen in love with the open, lively and free city. Although the smell of money is a little stronger, it is full of vitality.

At dusk, Fang Xuanling came back from shopping at the book market in the West Market, and he still had a set of "Four Books and Five Classics" newly edited and printed by Huaihuang Bookstore under his arm. This set of books includes "The Mean", "University", "Analects", "Mencius", "Book of Songs", "Book of Rites", "Zhou Yi", "Spring and Autumn". It also includes three books dedicated to explaining the Spring and Autumn Period: "Zuo Biography", "Ram Biography" and "Gu Liang Biography". There are a total of 12 books in this set, Fang Xuanling saw it when he visited the book market, and found that this set of books was very beautifully printed, the best paper, the printing was clear and neat, and there were no mistakes, and what particularly surprised him was that the printed font turned out to be a kind of square font that he had never seen. Such a set of Confucian classics, a total of 12 books, hundreds of thousands of words of content, is priced at only 1,800 words, it is unbelievable. Such exquisite printing, such a thousand pages of twelve books, if it were in Chang'an, it would be at least dozens of times, maybe even hundreds of times. It can be passed down as a family heirloom. But in Huaihuang, such a set is actually eight consistently, and the average page is about a penny. unimaginable. At that time, he ordered a hundred sets from the shopkeeper and sent them to his relatives, friends and classmates when he returned. As a result, the owner of the bookstore said to him very apologetically that this set of Four Books and Five Classics was the latest compilation and printing, and it was currently very popular, and he only got a hundred sets here, and now there was only the last set left in Fang Xuanling's hand, which was still placed here as a sample book. Fang Xuanling grinded for a long time. In the end, the price was increased by 200 wen, and the set of books was won at the price of two yuan. Then he left a reward coin, which was considered a deposit. Ten sets were booked.

Listening to the introduction of the bookstore shopkeeper, Fang Xuanling knew that in addition to the Five Classics that began in the time of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the other four books were put together by Yi Fengti Yi. Listed as the Four Classics. It is juxtaposed with the Five Classics, which became famous in the Han Dynasty, and is compiled into a set of four books and five classics. As for this new font printed, it is said that it is also a new font created by Yi Feng, but it is not called Yi Ti, but it is called Song Ti. As for the cost of this book, it is explained that it is because Huaihuang Paper Mill has the latest papermaking technology, which greatly reduces the cost of paper. At the same time, Huaihuang Bookstore does not use carved plates to print books. Instead, it was printed with movable type, and I heard that the printing workshop used movable type of lead. It also has a special ink, which makes the printing cost much lower than the original engraving plate and reduces the printing time. "And I heard that this price was set by Yi Shuai himself, saying that the Four Books and Five Classics are Confucian classics, and the printing of this set of books is the basic teaching material for Confucian preaching and teaching, and for the purpose of opening up the wisdom of the people, so this cheap price was specially formulated, so that more people can buy this set of books."

On the way back to the inn, Fang Xuanling's mind was full of the shopkeeper's words. For Yi Shuai, who was the same age as himself, he couldn't help but admire a little more in his heart. Before coming to Huaihuang, I imagined more that Yi Feng was a brave and strong man. But after arriving in Huaihuang, he found that Yi Feng was not the kind of reckless man who only relied on his bravery. On the contrary, the more he learned, the more he felt a little unbelievable about Yi Feng. And now, from the bookstore owner and this set of books, he feels a different kind of Yi Feng.

"In Huaihuang, children over the age of six can go to the primary school run by the governor's office for free, completely free of charge, and the school not only provides free textbooks, paper and pencils, but also provides a free lunch. Even in the army and in various workshops and mines, Yi Shuai also held many literacy night shifts, and every night there were instructors who taught everyone literacy and simple arithmetic for free. ”

Before leaving, another news said by the shopkeeper of the bookstore made Fang Xuanling unforgettable. He deeply felt that Yi Feng was by no means a reckless and idle person. People with this insight and vision are quite remarkable.

Back at the inn, the attendant brought hot tea and delivered a few newspapers and magazines by the way. The top one is the "Huaihuang Evening News", which has just been printed and published today. Fang Xuanling, like the vast majority of people who are literate, is now accustomed to reading the newspaper every day and understanding this ever-changing city from all aspects. Fang Xuanling took a sip of tea, glanced at the evening newspaper casually, and his eyes were immediately attracted. On the front page of the evening newspaper, a line of headlines was written in thick black letters: "Heroic and loyal souls, immortal!" Underneath the bold heading, the article's signature is a striking name: Yi Feng!

He immediately put down the newspaper and began to read it carefully. It turned out that this signed article was a praise and memorial article written by Yi Feng in the Huaihuang Evening News to the soldiers of the Huaihuang Army who died in the battle. In this article, Yi Feng recounted the establishment of the Huaihuang Army and the subsequent battles, and greatly praised these soldiers who died in the battle. In the article, he announced that a monument to the heroes and the Huaihuang Martyrs' Shrine will be erected, and the names of the fallen soldiers will be engraved on the Heroes Monument newly established on the White Tiger Square, and the tablets of the fallen soldiers will be enshrined in the Martyrs' Shrine to enjoy the memorial incense.

Seeing this, Fang Xuanling pondered. Thinking of what he saw and heard before, the generous treatment and benefits of the Huaihuang Army, the free admission of their children, and now seeing Yi Feng building a heroic monument and a martyr's shrine for the fallen soldiers, he couldn't help but sigh to himself, Yi Feng's methods are really powerful. In this way, the soldiers who are nostalgic usually hold generous silver monthly rations, rewards and pensions, and can still get such glory after death, who will no longer be loyal to Yi Feng from now on?

In the past, it was all a general's success, and in the end, only a few generals were glorified, and ordinary soldiers were just an unknown group of people. But now, not only do they get real benefits, but they also get these names.

At the end of the Yifeng article. He announced that tomorrow he would personally lead Huaihuang Wenwu to greet the fallen soldiers in the Martyrs' Shrine and hold a worship ceremony.

In the Huaihuang Evening News of the same day, after this article by Yi Feng. What follows is a series of reports, focusing on the soldiers who have died in battle, especially the deeds of some of the heroic fallen soldiers, which are reported in great detail. There was even a special feature in the evening newspaper, indicating that every day in the future, the life deeds of several heroic martyrs would be told, and relatives and friends would mourn them.

As soon as this issue of the evening newspaper came out, the entire Huaihuang immediately began to mourn the martyrs who died in battle. Many commercial firms even immediately set up condolence groups to collect donations to send to the parents, wives and children of these fallen soldiers. There are also trading houses that begin to prepare wreaths, incense candles, etc., and prepare to go to the Heroes Monument to lay wreaths the next day. Go to the Martyrs' Shrine to offer incense and candles. Some firms immediately began to prepare some jobs and prepare to arrange for the families of the martyrs who were in need.

Even the group of great monks from Wutai Mountain and the Taoist priests from Chang'an immediately issued a statement. They will all go to the Martyrs' Shrine tomorrow. Carry out water and land dojos for the fallen soldiers, and surpass the heroic souls.

Shortly after that day, Fang Xuanling in the inn received an invitation letter from the Huaihuang official, asking him to participate in the worship of the martyrs' spirit tablets at the Martyrs' Shrine tomorrow. On the same day, in addition to Fang Xuanling, there were also many officials and businessmen in Huaihuang who were in Huaihuang who received such an invitation.

Early the next morning, the city mourned, and hundreds of thousands of people participated in the ceremony of the martyr's spirit card into the martyr's shrine.

It was a ceremony of great importance. Yi Feng personally led the main civil and military forces of Huaihuang to pay respects, and thousands of soldiers who died in previous battles. They are all regarded as heroic martyrs, and their tablets are personally held by the superior officers before their deaths, and the Huaihuang soldiers and more than 100,000 Huaihuang people are welcomed. Taoist priests and monks made water and land dojos, and soldiers and civilians laid wreaths and offered incense and candles. The grand scene and the glory behind him shook the entire Huaihuang.

The soldiers who participated in this ceremony were most shocked by this, and everyone was so moved that they couldn't help crying when they saw that their former comrades could have such glory as they have today. Who would have thought that an ordinary pawn could have such a day, extremely glorious. really responded to that sentence, and death was worth it.

This is a huge impact on the concept, it turns out that Yi Feng has improved a lot of treatment and benefits for the soldiers of Huaihuang, and the status of the soldiers has risen, but in the final analysis, the status of the soldiers is still very low after all, but today, the ceremony of Tongguò has greatly improved the status of the soldiers of Huaihuang.

Although there are still two days left, he will set off for the west to enter Beijing. All kinds of affairs were still waiting for him to arrange, but no matter how busy he was, Yi Feng still squeezed out time to solemnly preside over this grand ceremony.

In front of the Heroes Monument, Yi Feng personally made a speech to commemorate the heroes, and at the Martyrs' Shrine, he was even more unexpected in front of the martyrs' tablets, solemnly kneeling and paying tribute.

The worship ceremony is over, but the heroes monument and the martyrs' shrine is not deserted, the monks and Taoist priests will do the dojo for 7749 days, and the families of those martyrs will often come to worship their families, and many soldiers and people come to mourn.

These two places have also become new landmarks in Huaihuang. The Heroes Monument stands on the White Tiger Square, like a sharp sword piercing the sky, it is said to be an inscription, in fact, it is a tower-shaped building, the whole tower has nine floors, as high as 27 zhang. The tower is carved with reliefs of the heroes fighting, as well as the inscription of Yi Feng, as well as the names of the martyrs. In the nine-story tower, the top three floors store the ashes of the martyrs, the middle three layers store the archives of the martyrs, and the bottom three floors are a memorial hall.

The Martyrs' Shrine is a standard Han Dynasty palace-style building, and a plaque is hung directly above the gate, which reads the five big characters of the Huaihuang Martyrs' Shrine, which is handwritten by Yi Feng. This very large area of the martyrs' shrine has the same nine-zhang pedestal as the White Tiger Terrace, and the seven-story pavilion of the Martyrs' Shrine is built on the pedestal.

The Martyrs' Shrine and the Heroes Monument have become the landmark buildings of Huaihuang side by side with the White Tiger Terrace, and these three buildings can be seen from afar within 20 miles of Huaihuang City.

These two newly built buildings juxtaposed with Baihutai, from this day on, have been reminding the soldiers and civilians of Huaihuang all the time that this is a different Huaihuang! A pawn who died in battle can enter the martyr's shrine to enjoy incense sacrifices after his death, and a pawn who died in battle can also remember the place on the monument and is respected as a hero!
