Taolin Town, a cemetery on the outskirts of the town. Ran Wen ??? ．?ｒ?ａ?ｎ?? ｅ?ｎ?`ｏ?ｒ?ｇ?

In front of a few new graves, white flags fluttered and paper money flew away. Dozens of people dressed in mourning clothes, men and women, of different ages, cried and paid tribute to the chief.

In front of the new grave, there were two more mounds of earth, and on the mounds were two bloody heads, and their eyes were still open.

The people who went to the grave kept shouting and cursing at the two heads, throwing stones, dust, leaves, and even dog blood at them......

An elderly man in mourning clothes, after weeping bitterly and scolding the murderer and mourning the dead, wiped his tears, came to Ruan Zun, and knelt down before him.

"Thanks to the mayor of the town, he risked his life, went deep into the dangerous place, killed these two dogs, cut off the dogs' heads, and came back, so that the great revenge of our families for the loss of their children can be avenged. Please accept our bows, Lord Mayor. As he spoke, he knelt down to him with a handful of family members of the deceased.

Ruan Zun helped them up one by one and said, "Everyone, don't be polite, don't be polite. The court is unkind, the jackals are in charge, and the people are suffering. I'm just doing my part. However, after this incident, the government will definitely not give up, and everyone will have to pay more attention inside and outside the town. ”

"The mayor of the town is relieved. A man said angrily, "We will inevitably be angry, if we find the imperial eagle dog, we will definitely report it to the town in time!"

Ruan Zun said a few more words of comfort, and prepared to leave with a heavy heart. Before leaving, he glanced at the master Xia Guiren who was standing next to him, who hurriedly put a box of gold in his hand in front of the family of the deceased, and said: "The six of them were killed in the duty of guarding, this is a piece of the town's heart, six hundred taels of gold, you six families, take it and divide it equally." ”

The families of the deceased were grateful.

Leaving the cemetery one after the other, Ruan Zun said sincerely: "Master Xia, you are really a good hand in managing the people's livelihood. Without your help, just dealing with the aftermath of these six families would have been enough for me to have a headache. ”

Xia Guiren said respectfully: "My lord is the head of a town, and there are many affairs to deal with. These small and trivial matters should be handled by subordinates. Taolin Town, with a population of more than 1,000, is not difficult to govern. The people's livelihood money and food, the subordinates are really holding the handles. ”

"Is there any news from the cottage?" asked Ruan Zun.

Hearing this, Xia Guiren's face was slightly worried, and he said: "The master of Zhou Zhai has already promised you, my lord, that the affairs of Taolin Town will be let go and will not interfere again." The news from the mountain said that after the lord of Zhou Zhai knew about this, he was first furious, thinking that if you provoked an incident, the spearhead of the young army might be transferred from Erlong Mountain to Taohua Mountain. There are also some people who see the opportunity to stir up trouble, say bad things about you, say that you deliberately expand your own power, deceive the owner of the village, and want to take down and kill directly. ”

"Anyone else said such a thing?" Ruan Zun frowned.

Xia Guiren smiled bitterly, "My lord, think about how many things have happened since you came to Peach Blossom Mountain. Not to mention anything else, just because you killed Li Zhong and became the second village master, how many people in the background were jealous, and how many people were already jealous of your experience. It's normal for a villain to have something secretly going on. ”

"What is Zhou Tong's attitude?" asked Ruan Zun.

"Noncommittal, nothing was said. Xia Guiren was a little worried, "But I still know who Lord Zhou Zhai is, and he very much hopes that he can show his ambitions." It doesn't hurt if you can do something amazing, as long as it's good for the village. However, subordinates believe that there are some things that cannot be more than one degree. If your prestige overshadows Lord Zhou, things may be a little complicated. And the killing of two officers of the Boys' Army was a big show. ”

"Leave that alone. Ruan Zun smiled, "It's mediocre not to attract envy." Now, I have one more thing for you to do. ”

"Your Excellency, just give me orders. Xia Guiren now really admires the new mayor of the town, and he obeys Ruan Zun's orders.

"Do you know the school in Taolin Town?"

The adults laughed, the subordinates have been reading and reading in the school since they were children, how could they not know. Xia Guiren said, "My subordinates are locals of Taolin Town. ”

"Now, I'm going to build a university hall in the town, called Fengyun Academy. Ruan Zun said, "This school does not learn the Four Books and Five Classics, but mainly learns four aspects, one is the cultivation of spiritual power and spiritual skills, the other is the cultivation of spiritual medicine and the refining of spiritual pills, the third is the manufacture and use of firearms, and the fourth is intelligence collection. ”

"I don't learn the Four Books and Five Classics and poems and songs, but it's just a school for cultivating spiritual power, spiritual skills and pill firearms?" Xia Guiren was a little confused, "You mean, the Spiritual Academy?"

"It's similar to the spiritual monastery, but it's not the same. Ruan Zun said, "The spiritual academy of the Song Kingdom is mainly to recruit spiritual students, and non-spiritual scholars are not allowed to enter. And the Fengyun School I want to set up, there is no distinction between the spirit and the mortal, everyone is equal, and everyone is treated equally. In terms of spiritual power and spiritual skill cultivation, of course, the main thing is to recruit spiritual scholars, and the cultivation of spiritual elixirs and the refining of spiritual pills, the manufacture of firearms, and the collection of intelligence, as long as students who are interested, whether they are spiritual scholars or mortals, can come to study and practice. ”

Xia Guiren had never thought about such a spiritual courtyard at all. In his understanding, all the spiritual academies on the continent are closed to mortals, and the separation between the spiritual and the mortal has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Even if it is something that can be accomplished by mortals with their hearts, such as cultivating spirit grass, feeding spirit beasts, refining spirit pills, etc., they are far from letting mortals do it, and they will not teach the corresponding things to mortals.

Ruan Zun's move, first of all, from the level of education, can be regarded as setting a precedent.

"Of course, the students of this academy have to be carefully selected. Moreover, after they have learned, they are basically going to be used by me. "Education is a big investment industry, with a long cycle and slow results, but this is the long-term solution." ”

"However, how to ensure that after the students complete their studies, they are willing to serve Taolin Town?" Xia Guiren said, "After they pay the tuition, what they learn belongs to themselves and their families, how can they serve Taolin Town?"

"Quite simply, I don't charge them tuition. Not only is there no charge, but they are also provided with free room and board, study and cultivation supplies, and they are also given a monthly allowance. Ruan Zun said, "Of course, the price of these benefits is that after completing your studies, you will serve the town." ”

"Will they be willing?" said Xia Guiren.

"Yes. Ruan Zun said, "Because the first batch of students of the academy are all orphans who are lonely and helpless, except for serving the town, they will not live with any dignity in the world." ”

......

After Xia Guiren left, Ruan Zun called Dai Zong.

He took out two letters from his arms, "You personally sent these two letters for me, one is for Liu San, the shopkeeper of Xinzhou Fengyun Inn, and the other is for Lu Tianhao, the deputy envoy of the Qinglong Sect of the Heavenly Taoist Sect of Erlong Mountain." Remember, send it out secretly, don't let other people know about it, and don't leak the slightest rumor. ”

"Yes. Dai Zong said.

"If you have an accident on the road and can't keep these two letters, you know what to do. Ruan Zun said.

"Don't worry, the young master, his subordinates are desperate, and they must be protected. Dai Zong said firmly, "If you really can't keep it, your subordinates will definitely destroy it as soon as possible." ”

"Good. Ruan Zun patted him on the shoulder, "Xinzhou has been decided, and now the world is gathering in Qingzhou." Whether we can make a vigorous career in this era of change depends on how we give full play to our strength and intelligence, and this era will not fail us. ”

He put his hands up and looked out the window, looking ambitious.

"Uh......" Dai Zong was speechless, and he really didn't understand. (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to come to the starting point () to vote for recommendation, monthly pass, your support, is my biggest motivation. For mobile phone users, please go to M. to read. )
