On both sides of the long street, countless pavilions and pavilions cover the clouds and the horizon.

In the distance is the Indigo Cloud Anchor, and if it is spring, summer and autumn, there are countless light boats rowing by.

But in winter, there are only building ships and merchant ships on the river that can supply stoves, and even so, there are no less than dozens of large ships on the lake.

This is the prosperity of the imperial capital, with pavilions and clouds, and gold everywhere.

But now, the entire imperial capital is blown by the cold wind.

Pedestrians looked back at the eastern sky and saw that a patch of dark clouds had pushed over and trotted home.

The clouds advanced so fast that half of the sky was covered by dark clouds, and the sound of tapping on the cloud plates sounded on the high platform in the distance.

The riders galloped wildly with the dragon-blooded horses, jumping dozens of meters, but the dark clouds chased faster, and the air was wrapped in a thick vapor.

Just as the clouds were about to catch up, Tiqi finally identified himself and entered the imperial city.

The heavy gate closes, as if to isolate the dark clouds from the door.

The entire imperial capital was hazy in the mist, but the imperial city was not affected in the slightest, only the air became more humid.

An hour later, in the evening, the maid passed by the front of the Qinzheng Hall with the incense stove, and seemed to hear a roar, and then stopped, and a deep voice came from the hall.

"Summoning the Middle Pole Palace, Jianji Palace, Wuying Palace, Wenyuan Pavilion, and East Pavilion University Scholars to come over!"

A moment later, several old men dressed in soapy green official robes hurried over, entered the hall, flipped through the papers, and were shocked.

"It's hard to write! The Shui Mu Sect actually did such an angry thing! There were 6,800 blood sacrifices, more than 10,000 casualties, and tens of thousands of displaced people. It must be suppressed! ”

"Master Su called the Ghost Mother Sect the Water Mu Sect, isn't he still thinking of the glory of Daqian?"

"You're spewing blood! I just read more books and get more impressed with the old name! ”

"Not necessarily?"

"Shut up! Yun Ying sent a message, Ti Cai ran with the dragon blood horse relay for twenty years without rest, and he is still unconscious, just to wait for you to talk about it here? ”

The five scholars knelt on the ground in unison, silent.

"Get up!"

The invisible force spread out, lifting the scholars together.

"Tell me what you think."

The scholars looked at each other.

"The ghost mother religion is already a stubborn disease, the first emperor has not finished the whole work, and the crime of non-war is also the lack of national strength, and now the country is rich and the people are strong, when the autumn wind sweeps away the fallen leaves, sweep it away in one fell swoop!"

"What Scholar Xu said is better than singing, now the Western Army and the Northern Army are fighting against the barbarians, building the Great Wall, the expenses are very large, the three provinces in the northwest are drought, and Lanzhou is going to dig a canal again, where is the money to send troops to sweep your fallen leaves?"

The two bachelors chattered and argued.

"Your Majesty, the minister has something unclear."

"What?"

"On the map, why is it that among the several large counties, only the many towns and townships under Chaojiang County have not been disturbed in the slightest, as if they are surrounded?"

Another secret report was thrown in front of everyone.

"I see, the state-owned veteran, what a blessing! There should be a great reward for this! ”

"This Liangqu is a little familiar?"

"Oh, it's just a small fisherman, why does Scholar Su feel familiar?"

Bachelor Su rolled his eyes, didn't bother to pay attention to the attack, and turned around.

"The minister has a friend, and the minister is the same science and jinshi, he has a friend in a town as a mountain chief, often exchange letters, a few days ago Yu Chen handed a letter, talking about a literacy method, is a small township fisherman invented, said that the study is fruitful.

After reading it, I thought it was interesting, and it happened that my granddaughter also reached the time of literacy, so she taught a lesson, and the effect was excellent, about a year or so, you can recognize most of the words. ”

Everyone was slightly shocked.

Do you know most of the words in a year?

Children generally learn the basics of literacy, calligraphy, orientation, timing, etiquette and other basic knowledge from the age of eight.

It is then usually not until the age of fifteen that you begin to receive systematic education in a subset of classics.

Of course, not all of them are for the reasons of literacy, but even then, literacy takes five or six years.

What can be used to increase efficiency several times?

Everyone doesn't forgive each other, that's work, but in specific matters, Su Yigeng categorically doesn't dare to deceive the saint, that is to say, this is true!

The chief eunuch on the side said loudly: "It's the same person, this method is called pinyin method, and it has been learned by the six princes some time ago, and it has been quite effective." ”

Su Yigeng was stunned.

"This son is talented, or he can be used."

Not only is it useful, but it is also very useful!

Manager Kang glanced at the five bachelors and said secretly in his heart.

In recent months, His Majesty has been thinking about tax reform, and one of the most difficult points is that the imperial power does not go to the countryside, and there is a lack of people to implement policies, which requires tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands of literate officials!

The cost of literacy has always been a big problem, but now it seems that there are signs of a solution?

"No, look at this edition again."

"Changjiao crossed the river?"

It is a good thing that the life is extraordinary, and it can even be boasted out in advance as capital to attract "investment".

Just like the son-in-law under the imperial examination list, although he has not yet become an official, everyone knows that the best will have a great future in the future.

Yang Dongxiong understood these truths, and when Yun Ying Tiqi was looking for words, he let him write it into the report, maybe inadvertently, he could help his disciples win a future.

"Then reuse!"

Sure enough, after hearing this, the scholars changed their words, from being usable to reuse it to reusing it.

"Changjiao crosses the river, is close to the water, and is good at water, so it is better to serve in the river berth?"

"There is no need to worry about the reward, how to deal with the Ghost Mother Sect now, if he is allowed to come again and again, it will damage my country's fortune and increase his prestige!"

Master Xu suddenly said in a loud voice: "Does Manager Kang know how many households there are in this Pingyang Town?" ”

"More than 16,600 households."

"What about Chaojiang County?"

"More than 14,300 households."

Some scholars were puzzled: "Pingyang Town has such a large population, more than the county seat?" ”

One family, no plague, no war, no natural disasters, three generations of grandparents and grandchildren say that there are six people!

Mr. Kang replied: "Yang Wushi's second son was martyred, and then he returned to his hometown, leaving only one son in the Western Army, and opened a martial arts hall for 20 years. ”

"What does Master Xu mean by asking?"

"Your Majesty, since we have nothing to spare, and the Ghost Mother Sect is menacing again, why not remove Chaojiang County as a town, change Pingyang Town to a county, and then establish Yixing City as a town?

According to the map, the location of Pingyang Town is the center of the county where everything happens, or the closest place to the Ghost Mother Sect.

There are a large number of warriors in the town, Yang Wushi and his disciples are extraordinary, can be used as a hub, set up a river berth, and the demon hunting division is here, which is the bridgehead of the counterattack.

And after this incident, the vitality of several counties under the rule of Huaiyin Mansion was greatly damaged, there were many displaced people, and the Huaihe River was a rich land, so that the surrounding prefectures could contribute grain and money, help Pingyang County to absorb displaced people, and when the population was completely digested, it was not impossible to replace Huaiyin Mansion and withdraw the county government. ”

The palace of diligence fell into deep thought.

Mr. Xu's words are quite reasonable.

Throughout the entire Huaiyin Mansion, only the town of Pingyang blocked the attack.

When you can't spare your hands, it is the most appropriate way to set up another high platform to fight with the Ghost Mother Sect.

The Huai River area is a rich land, otherwise under a whip law, there will be no left here to pay grain and supply the imperial capital.

You don't have to pay your own money to resettle the displaced people, which can be described as killing multiple birds with one stone.

"Yes!"
