Chapter Ninety-Seven: Preparation (II)

Although the province has not yet been approved, Liu Jueming still took up the post of warden from Jiupin County, of course, he took away his henchmen, and Wu Jie was appointed as the head of the yamen team of twenty people.

With this group of people, Fang Xindun felt much more handy, but he also asked them to understand the rules.

At present, everyone is preparing, and the military camp is even more noisy day by day, training soldiers, craftsmen and blacksmiths, and also building weapons day and night, as well as the county town, which is also being further investigated and repaired.

The patrol sent a large number of personnel to constantly monitor the movements of the barbarian division, and reported it every day, and the intelligence became more and more urgent.

Fang Xin immediately did not hesitate, and quickly reported to the county and provincial middle school, and reported: "The enemy is already large, and there are only 600 soldiers in the county, so how can I resist the enemy?" Please also allocate food for the army! ”

The official document went up, although it was quickly instructed, and brought a batch of 1,200 pieces of winter clothes and 500 stone of grain, but there was not a single soldier or general, and the last line said: "Allow you to raise your own group training to defend the county seat, if you lose your land, the three-foot king law, will definitely ask you for your responsibility!" ”

With this official document, Fang Xin did not hesitate and ordered all villages in the county: "All townships train village teams, gather in the county seat, if you don't come, you will talk about it with private armor and bad intentions, and the enemy is in front, and you dare to postpone it, don't you know if you know the county?" ”

Suddenly, all towns and villages had to send their own people, even if they wanted to retain their strength and defend their hometowns, they also sent a few soldiers, and at one time they actually gathered 2,000 troops, all of which were commanded and trained by Qi Zhiqing.

So race against time, do everything you can to increase your strength, a little more than half a month. At this moment, someone reported and said that the county school building had been built.

Fang Xin smiled and said, "This is a big deal, go." Let's go to the house. ”

At that moment, Fang Xin took Wu Jie and Song Wenchen to the county house. The school is located near the Chenghuang Temple in the north of the county, and when I arrived at the door, I saw Zhang Qian, the county school teacher, and Pan Zhengfan, who taught from Jiupin, greeted them, but there were only a dozen scholars behind them, and the two of them looked embarrassed, but Fang Xin didn't care.

Open the school, worship Confucius and Meng's holy card. and the card of the prince of heaven and earth. Fang Xin led the people to meet Shangxiang, and then officially opened the door, and all the students were given a set of Confucian clothes, five catties of meat, and a bag of rice.

"Hey, county middle school students, those who cultivate ambition and qi are geometric, and it is really sad to be old!" Then he went into the room and sat down. Zhang Qian, the county school teacher, said that he was old and had not lived for a few years, so he naturally confessed.

"That is, even if the county is remote. But the prefectural junior high school student. There are also a hundred of them, such a major event as opening a county house. was supposed to worship the prince of heaven and earth, but everyone panicked and couldn't refuse, he was really ashamed to be a scholar! Pan Zhengfan tightened his lips, suppressed his anger, and said with a sneer.

"At this time, the barbarian thieves have become chaotic, and all the townships and villages are thinking about defense and preparing in advance, and it is normal for such people to have some thoughts." Fang Xin drank tea calmly, his eyes were dark and shining: "Building a school house, worshipping the prince of heaven and earth, this is a great virtue, back then, Confucius didn't say that I would rather know what I can't do, even today, only one or two students come, this school must be opened, not to mention that we have not yet reached this point." ”

Zhang Qian, the county school teacher, breathed a sigh of relief. He is already old, but he has more experience, and the county in front of him, who is only nineteen years old, has a faint minister's demeanor, and the future is limitless if he crosses this hurdle!

"This time, in fact, there are other things in the county to discuss with the two adults." Fang Xin took another sip of tea and said.

"Your Excellency, please speak."

"If you want to pass on the book of sages, you must first have books of sages, what do you think?"

"Of course!" Both of them spoke at once.

"Well, but the mainland transports books and paper in, it is very expensive, in the hometown of this county, a book is a hundred wen, and here, it costs a thousand wen, so precious, it is not easy to read!"

"Exactly, exactly!" Speaking of which, both of them feel the same way.

"Then papermaking and printing, can the two adults think that it is insulting to Sven?" Fang Xin said.

Suddenly, both of them understood what Fang Xin meant, and after thinking about it, Zhang Qian, the county school teacher, said: "How can this be insulting to Sven, Cai Hou makes paper, famous all over the world, for thousands of years, and Yu De, what do you want to do?" ”

"Specific papermaking, of course, we don't have to do, but the county from the hometown to get three rolls of papermaking, the first volume, is the movable curtain bed paper mold, such as this to make, can repeatedly fish out thousands of pieces of wet paper, improve the work efficiency, two rolls is mulberry, rattan bark, rice and wheat straw, bamboo to make paper, especially the latter two, are common locally, the local jungle, more bamboo, and bamboo grows very fast, it is really a big profit, although the bamboo paper process is complex, but such as the production, it is really the best Ming Xuan paper."

"There is another volume, that is, printing, which has been prevalent in the mainland, but it is rare in the local area, if you can produce your own paper and print the books of the sages, it will be the work of education."

"The meaning of the adult, we have already understood, although the adult commands."

"Well, the county wants to set up a bookstore, specializing in printing, and it will be hung in the name of the county school, and the method of papermaking, but also the county students, with the craftsmen, spread to the countryside, by them to do, and so that the village will make paper, and choose the best, not only can be edified, but also make the people benefit, how?"

"My lord has a life, how dare I disobey, but now ......"

"Of course not now, it's not too late to wait for the thieves to retreat."

"So, respectfully." Pan Zhengfan, who taught from Jiupin, took over the three volumes and said: "Don't worry, don't wait for the thief to retreat, the lower officials will study it first, and once they retreat, they can make paper and print it to help the hope of the county's scholars." ”

The roads in Anchang Province are difficult, as long as they can produce paper and publish books, they can naturally occupy the market share of the province in this regard, Fang Xin smiled, and was about to say something, but he saw a commotion outside, and then a patrol rushed in, entered the door, and hurriedly knelt down: "My lord, the thieves are dispatched, and they are going straight to the county!" ”

The two scholars were suddenly shocked, but Fang Xin did not move, lowered his head and took another sip of tea, put it down gently, and said: "I still wanted to say something to the two adults, but now it seems that there is no chance." ”

"The magistrate guards the people, this is naturally a big deal, don't worry about us." The two hurriedly said.

Fang Xin got up, waited for the door, and said, "The two adults don't have to send it far, please go back!" ”

After speaking, he said to the soldiers: "Gather all the adults and discuss the matter immediately, I want to see what kind of person this Dakoding can gather ten thousand people to attack!" ”

Between the words, like ice and jade fighting, the clear and awe-inspiring aura can be seen in one word.

The two of them were not taken by God, and they were speechless for a while, and they saw him go away in a sedan chair.

When Fang Xin returned to the county office, he saw that everyone had arrived again, and when Fang Xin entered, he immediately said: "Master Qiao, you immediately report to all the townships and villages, and say that the thieves have come and all moved into the city." ”

The county lord Bo Qiaojie bowed down before answering the "yes", but he heard Fang Xin say with a cruel smile: "There are more than 10,000 thieves, and it will take at least three to five days to come from Lianggou Mountain. ”

All the adults understand that the Hanyi contradictions are very big, there are vendettas from time to time, the barbarian army comes, and if they don't enter the city, the end can be known, but if someone wants to defend their hometown and refuses to enter the city, then they have to die.

saw the county lord Bo Qiao Jieying hesitate for a moment, and said, "Do you want to send troops to urge?" ”

"Send troops to urge, what soldiers do we have? Scatter them and fight with them first? Moreover, the county is hundreds of miles, and when the barbarian division comes, it is too late to summon, so what will be used to defend the city? Fang Xin looked at him in surprise, as if looking at a monster.

"Yes, it's Xia Guan Meng Lang." The county lord Bo Qiao Jieying suddenly blushed and took a half step back.

I heard Fang Xin gritting his teeth and saying with a smile: "It's September 8th, as long as you keep it for three months, it's cold, I look at these barbarians, what to attack, the court is vigorous, the time is in me, the location is favorable, I have a city, he has a forest, it is an equal division, now we have to work together to occupy this person and, the county lieutenant Gu Qingbin, the camp is Qi Zhiqing!" ”

The two of them immediately stood up together, arched their hands and said, "Here!" ”

"Qi Zhiqing, you immediately rectify the army, collect all the fire oil in the nearby villages, and the boulders and trees must also be rectified, and the next 2,000 troops will be commanded by you, understand?"

"Xia Guan understands!" This awe-inspiring aura made Qi Zhiqing almost think that he was facing a general in the army, and immediately replied.

"Gu Qingbin, also, if the people enter the city, all the strong men will be selected, formed into several teams, and take turns to guard the wall, so as to replace the sergeants on duty in non-war time, so that the sergeants have a place to rest, and if necessary, they can also go into battle to defend against the enemy, do you understand?"

"Xia Guan understands!" Gu Qingbin also responded immediately.

"Zhang Yang!"

"The lower official is here!"

"Your hundred patrolmen are the supervising team, such as in wartime, if someone riots, kill immediately, someone retreats, kill immediately, someone escapes, kill immediately, no matter who, even if it is this county, dare to run away from the city, you will also kill me, understand?"

"Yes, Xia Guan understands." When Zhang Yang heard this, he was expressionless, just responding, everyone couldn't help but tremble, this Zhang Yang really did it.

"The others and others, come with me, arrange and make arrangements to fight the enemy and thieves together!"

"Yes!" Everyone bowed down deeply and answered the command.
