It's just that no one expected that the bad news would come so quickly......

A month later, just when the magnates in the capital and even today's minds were impetuous, a shocking news suddenly came from the southern Xinjiang with an urgent increase of 800 miles.

The king of Nan'an was defeated, and he was defeated cleanly and completely, not to mention that the 50,000-strong army was completely annihilated, and even the king of Nan'an himself was captured!

Shocking thunderbolt, really shocking thunderbolt!

Originally, he still wanted to follow the cheap Jinhe and a powerful person, but they were all stunned.

This, how is this possible?

That's 50,000 southern frontier troops, how could they be defeated so quickly, so cleanly, and even the king of Nan'an County got in?

The original joy was swept away, replaced by a full of depression and anger.

Daqing this time, but it's a shame......

If the king of Nan'an County dies in battle, it is okay, at least he can help blow a sentence of 'sacrifice for the country', even if he settles accounts with the court against the prince of Nan'an County today, it will not be too much for the sake of the face of the dead.

But now it's good, the king of Nan'an is still alive......

Then there is nothing to say, the Nan'an County Royal Mansion has to pay for it!

Since the king of Nan'an County is not dead, the cost of rescuing this guy will not be paid by the court, and it will all be raised by the Nan'an County Palace.

For a while, Concubine Nan'an was busy dealing with the huge industry of the county king's mansion, and at the same time contacted some old ladies who had a good relationship, hoping that their family could help say good things and save the king of Nan'an as soon as possible.

"Nan'an County Palace, it's over!"

When the stumbling old lady of Nan'an left, the old lady sighed to the mandarin duck: "This time, if the Nan'an County Mansion wants to pass the customs, at least half of the family funds have to be paid!" ”

The mandarin duck didn't speak, and the old lady obviously didn't mean to let her answer, and her heart was really a little shaken, the hereditary Nan'an County Palace, was just over?

"The king of Nan'an County is estimated to be demoted to a concubine, and the prince of Nan'an will have a false title of first-class general at most, and in two generations, there will be no title to inherit at all!"

The old lady has been through too much wind and rain, and she knows the doorway here very well.

"The king of Nan'an doesn't know what to think, he even moved troops against his neighbors without saying hello, but now he can't get off the stage!"

Shaking her head and sighing, the old lady took the initiative to change the topic and asked, "By the way, didn't you send a letter to Brother Cong before, did he reply, when will you come back?" ”

"I've already replied, Third Master Cong can't return to Beijing for the time being!"

"What's going on?"

A hint of displeasure flashed in the old lady's eyes, but her tone remained calm as usual.

"Old lady, the king of Nan'an suddenly sent troops to attack Qianxiang Kingdom, and the Huaiyang Governor Yamen has to prepare logistics materials and ordnance for Nanjiang!"

Mandarin Duck heard the dissatisfaction in the old lady's words, and explained with a smile: "Third Master Cong wants to help deal with some things, and he can't pull away at all!" ”

"He's a little monkey, what can he do to help?"

The old lady's sharp eyes softened, and she said angrily: "Don't you want to, Lin Ruhai still needs his help and guidance?" ”

"Listening to the news from over there, I don't need to point out, but help is essential, Aunt Lin really can't do without it!"

"Oh, let's hear it, what is it that is inseparable from the Fa?"

"There is news from Huaiyang that there is a problem with the official warehouse there, and there must be a trustworthy person like Third Master Cong to supervise it!"

"I've long heard that local officials are bold, but I didn't expect it to be true!"

"Not only the official warehouse, but also the local officials and soldiers are almost rotten, I heard that even the ability to organize the training of the people is gone, and the third master Cong has to keep an eye on it!"

"Heh, is there really no one around Lin Ruhai, why do you want that little monkey to join in everything?"

The old lady was a little dissatisfied, as if she was really upset for Jia Cong.

The mandarin duck pursed his lips and chuckled, explaining: "That's really the case, the one who can make Aunt Lin completely trust, except for Miss Biao, is the third master Cong!" ”

The old lady was silent, nodded after a while, and said, "Since this is the case, don't rush, it seems that the old woman still underestimated this monkey before!"

"Don't worry, old lady, when you celebrate your eightieth birthday, Third Master Cong and Aunt Lin will definitely return to Beijing to celebrate!"

The old lady had a faint smile on her face, but she was a little unhappy in her heart, and there was a rush to lose control of the juniors.

……

The news of the defeat and capture of the king of Nan'an was strictly blocked, so most of the people in the capital knew nothing about it.

At present, the public opinion in the capital is all attracted by the new attraction of 'Cong Sanshao', and they are immersed in the plot, farming and developing together with pig's feet, and even discussing it hotly, how can they bother with anything else?

At this time, the plot has reached Pig's Foot to find a huge island thousands of miles away from the Central Plains, and settle down here.

Next, there are all kinds of construction and farming plots, and solving problems are all practical situations that may be encountered in a new environment.

Settlements were established along the seaside harbor, and then they used it as a base to explore outwards and rapidly expand their area of control.

During this period, the technology of astronomy and geography, farmland and water conservancy, as well as civil engineering and construction, was used to quickly build the settlement into a city, and then radiate the surrounding area with the city as the core, open up wasteland, harvest fruits, fish and hunt to expel beasts and poisonous insects.

Step by step, we have engaged in development and construction, and in just a few years, we have built several small cities of Central Plains standards, opened up hundreds of thousands of acres of wasteland, and not only completely solved the problem of survival, but also developed and became rich at a speed visible to the naked eye.

These contents are all based on Jia Cong's modern knowledge and common sense, as well as the information found by the southern maritime merchants of this era, and the deduction is still relatively reliable.

It may not be enough to predict the difficulties, but it is enough to be used as a basic island raider for some careerists, at least Prince Zhongshun is quite serious.

Farming and development, watching a wild land become a prosperous place in his own hands, the kind of magnificence that relies on manpower to change the world, sounds quite refreshing.

The plot has developed so far, and it has not become boring because of blind development and construction, but has a different kind of attraction.

After all, Jia Cong played recklessly here, writing no less than the development of the Central Plains, and the number of paths was very different.

For example, in education, pig's feet attach great importance to education, which can be said to have reached a crazy level, and even in the form of a decree, all military and civilian children who follow it must be enrolled in school as long as they are old, regardless of gender, otherwise it is illegal.

In the process of island city construction, the first and best buildings to be built were schools, not government yamen.

Such behavior naturally caused huge controversy among book fans.

There are those who say good, and naturally there are those who say bad.

Book lovers are divided into two factions to express their opinions, and they are arguing about the semi-monthly magazines launched by major bookstores.

The main thing is the matter of universal education, which was very sensitive in the feudal era.

The way of a saint is naturally to educate the world!

However, because of the productive forces and other factors, knowledge has become a tool for the ruling class to distinguish between the government and the people, and it is simply impossible to achieve universal education.

Even in the middle, the little brother of Wenwu under the pig's foot didn't understand what he did.

However, the pig's foot explanation also made them speechless, but no matter what they thought in their hearts, they had to implement it honestly in the end.

"If the children of the military and civilians who follow me to fight overseas receive a complete education from an early age, they will have the possibility of becoming strong when they grow up!"

"Our current power seems to be strong, and that's because we have a more advanced knowledge system, which is much stronger than the natives of the island in every way!"

"Then can we sit back and relax, and from now on, we can enter Kuma and release Nanshan?"

"It may not be a problem for a short time, but what about a long time?"

"Since we can get here by boat, what about the rest of the forces and countries that have developed seagoing ship manufacturing technology?"

"If a strong enemy comes from the sea, and we lack a sufficient population, according to the methods of the Central Plains family, the number of strong people must be pitiful, what can we do to fight with a strong enemy?"

"If the millions of soldiers and civilians who followed me to this island can have the opportunity to receive education and become strong in their future generations, then our foundation will not need to worry about being snatched away by foreign enemies!"

These remarks are not deafening, but at least they temporarily quelled the dissatisfaction of the high-level subordinates of Pig's Feet, and wholeheartedly carried out the policy of universal education for Pig's Feet.

The popularization of pig's feet is not the mainstream Confucian education that has become the mainstream in the Central Plains, but a model of a hundred schools of thought.

This point has once again sparked a big discussion among book fans.

After all, it is the era when Confucianism is the mainstream, and the plot in it does have the meaning of 'great rebellion'.

But pig's feet still have something to say......

"Although there are millions of soldiers and civilians who are willing to follow me to the open sea to fight, there are still too few on a huge island, and even more than the natives on the island!"

"We need to develop, civil engineering and city construction, farmland and water conservancy, medical divination astrology and mechanical mathematics and other talents are needed, can we cultivate them simply by relying on Confucian schools?"

"At present, we are far away from Middle-earth, unless we regard the natives on the island as our own, otherwise there will be a bigger and bigger gap in the number of talents in terms of manpower."

"When the time comes, we can't expect those who specialize in the Four Books and the Five Classics to work in the fields, work in the workshops, dig water conservancy projects in the wilderness, and treat the sick and save people in the hospitals.

"Our school, naturally, can't just teach the Four Books and Five Classics, and hundreds of miscellaneous studies have become learning subjects, and strive to cultivate a sufficient number of qualified talents!"

These words persuaded his younger brothers, and at the same time made some people with a heart deeply remember.

They have the intention of establishing a nation overseas, and the situation and troubles they encounter in the future may be similar to those described in the plot.

As long as there is no problem with the brain, it must be clear that the lack of population and lack of talent will definitely become the norm......
