Chapter 96 Troubled times are rising
Infected by his friends, some of the boredom that had accumulated in the academy dissipated a lot.
Sun Siwen responded: "Yes." Recently, due to the turmoil in various places, there have been a lot fewer students in the college. Class ends early. ”
When Lu Yuan heard this, he couldn't help but ask curiously: "I remember that after all these years of enrollment expansion, Changning Academy should have more than five hundred people, right?" Why, there are fewer people now? ”
Ever since he had cultivated to the peak of the second rate at the beginning of the year, he had been busy cultivating the Eight Veins of the Qi Sutra. Every day, I consulted the exercises, studied ancient books, and shrunk at home, ignoring the things outside the window.
And Sun Siwen and the others also knew that he was busy, so they didn't bother much.
Therefore, although I heard that the outside became chaotic, but what did it look like, because I didn't go out much, but I didn't have a clear impression.
Hearing Sun Siwen say this now, is it possible that this mess has affected the academy, and the students who study quietly can't do it?
"yes."
Sun Siwen sighed and said worriedly: "Just a few days ago, those Miao people in the mountains suddenly gathered a crowd to make a rebellion, went down the mountain and attacked a small town in nearby Xiaxi County, killing hundreds of people, and finally looting away.
Most of the students in our college come from several counties near Changning, and many of them are from Xiaxi County.
After hearing that their hometown had been attacked by the Miao people, many students were worried about their families and returned home.
Some students from other nearby counties also left because they were worried.
Of the 500 students in the college, most of them have left from other places, and now there are only more than 200 people left. ”
Accustomed to the large number of people in the college, it was suddenly deserted for the most part, and the expanded school building was also empty, it was difficult not to make this professor, who was accustomed to the excitement of the college, feel a sense of emptiness.
Lu Yuan was slightly surprised: "Now Dongting County is so chaotic?" ”
He remembered that it seemed that a few years ago, Dongting County was still very stable. The people don't say that they live and work in peace and contentment, at least they can get by.
Why is it that after only half a year, there was a rebellion among the Miao people, and they dared to loot the town.
Sun Siwen looked at his dazed friend and said with a wry smile: "You have been staying at home these days and haven't gone out much, so I don't know." Today, the situation is turbulent, and it is already on fire everywhere.
The Liang people in the north invaded, and the imperial court sent 200,000 troops to resist. Although it barely blocked the Liang people, Guangling County in the north has been affected by the war, and displaced people have risen in all directions.
Although the rebellion in Jian'an County has been quelled by an army of 100,000 sent by the imperial court, there are still remnants of thieves in various places who are harassing the local government and county.
The Jinghai Kingdom in the south has captured the land of Yulin and half of the county, and now it has begun to attack the South China Sea, faintly annexing the southern frontier.
The imperial court has urgently dispatched 100,000 troops to fight against the rebellion in Jian'an County to rescue the emergency, hoping to repel this rebellious country.
And the rest of the counties in the world, because of natural disasters, frequently have civil unrest, and it can often be reported that the county has been attacked by rebels, and there is news of an anti-king in that place.
In comparison, my Dongting County is not bad.
At the very least, only some county towns have been broken by the civil unrest, and the prefecture has not been broken, and basic stability can still be maintained.
It's just that I'm afraid that if the world continues to be so chaotic, I'm afraid that the troubled times are really not far away. ”
While speaking, Sun Siwen was also a little dazed.
He couldn't figure it out, but yesterday was still peaceful and prosperous, and the people were happy. Why is it that in the blink of an eye, the eight counties of Dayue are full of smoke and wars?
And in addition to not being able to figure it out, what made him faintly worried and afraid was the arrival of the troubled times.
If Da Yue really falls apart, it will be huge bad news for him and for all the people in the world.
It is better to be a peaceful dog than a chaotic person.
Troubled times, but people will die.
After listening to what Sun Siwen said, Lu Yuan was also secretly frightened.
He really didn't expect that when he came out again, the world would already be like this?
However, although he was surprised, seeing his friend's worried look, Lu Yuan was still relieved: "Brother Sun doesn't have to worry too much. Even if the troubled times really come, with me, I can keep you safe. ”
He said this quite confidently, because he did have the confidence to be confident.
During these six months, Lu Yuan retreated and practiced penance, but he did not play behind closed doors.
During this period of time, he not only comprehended the two layers of the heart method after the Qi replenishment Heart Sutra, but also gained a lot from the study of the eight veins of the Qi Sutra, and began to try to break through as early as two months ago.
After so long of painstaking preparation, the breakthrough is a natural one.
Just yesterday, Lu Yuan successfully opened up the Yang Ji Vein in the Eight Veins of the Qi Sutra, entered the seventh layer of the Qi Replenishment Heart Sutra, and officially entered the first-class realm in the rivers and lakes.
Of course, this is only the first-class in terms of internal strength, and the other martial arts moves are only at the level of the second-rate peak.
But even so, half a first-class master, put on the rivers and lakes, that is also a figure who can dominate a mansion.
With this kind of strength, as long as it is not besieged by thousands of legions and blocking the way, then you can go anywhere in the world.
Protecting Sun Siwen as a scholar is naturally a breeze.
Feeling the care and sincerity of his friends, Sun Siwen's heart was warm, and then he said another thing: "Don't talk about these upsetting things, say something happy."
In recent days, there has been news from the county government. In view of the frequent civil unrest in various prefectures and counties, officials have suffered heavy casualties, and there is a shortage of personnel everywhere.
Therefore, the county government intends to promote a number of officials to fill the vacancies in various places.
I have been in the position of teacher for five years now, during which time I have trained three people and founded Changning College.
I should be on the list for this promotion. It won't be long before he will be promoted to the county governor. ”
In October last year, after five years of accumulation and polishing, Sun Siwen's disciple Gu Songyun and student Guo Yun participated in the autumn examination together, and the results were all successful.
The name of Changning Shuangjie has spread again.
And with this credit, Sun Siwen also made a ruthless record of political achievements.
In addition, he has been working hard for five years, and it is indeed time to be promoted.
When Lu Yuan heard the good news, he immediately congratulated: "Brother Sun is on his way, congratulations." It seems that it won't be long before I'm going to call you a local parent. ”
"Brother Xie Lu has said a good word."
Sun Siwen's face was also full of smiles.
After being promoted to the county commander, you only need to stay up for three years and don't make any mistakes, so you can be steadily promoted to the county commander.
After ten years as an official, you can become the marquis of a hundred miles, and the main party is naturally a proud thing.
But after being happy for a while, Sun Siwen thought of something, smiled slightly, and said helplessly: "It's just that Changning County already has a county, and I want to be promoted, I'm afraid I need to go to other counties, and I can't stay in Changning anymore." ”
After living in Changning County for seven years, Sun Siwen has long regarded this place as half of his hometown, and he is about to leave at this time, and he is faintly reluctant.
"yes, are you leaving?"
When Lu Yuan heard this, he couldn't help but feel sad.
Sun Siwen is going to leave for his post, and he must be going with him.
Now the situation is so chaotic, and there is civil unrest everywhere. In Dongting County alone, there are more than a dozen county commanders who have died.
Leaving his friend alone, Lu Yuan was really a little uneasy, afraid that the other party would be killed by the rebels.
What a damn world.
