Sitting on his knees beside a low book desk that matches his stature, Liang Rong's small face is very serious, he sits upright like an adult, and listens carefully to the speech of the gentleman on the stage.
This is the Chongwen Pavilion, which has just been built in the Prefect's Mansion a few days ago, next to the garden of the back house. Quiet and elegant, quite suitable for teaching. The upper and lower parts of the hall. The upper hall recruits children from six to 10-year-old official families, while the lower hall is not limited by age, in terms of talent. Liang Rong is in the upper hall. There are only six bookcases on display. Obviously, not everyone can come here to study. However, unlike other students who are elated and proud. What Liang Rong felt was more of his father's love and affection.
When he was last year, he was afraid that his father would send him out of Liang's residence to study under a Confucian school. Who would have thought that at this time, his father actually opened a special school, and found a famous scholar like Cui Shi for him to open a door for him. Where is the fear of being abandoned, Liang Rong only felt that his little heart was warm, and he wished to learn more things every day to repay his father's heart.
Because of this, he studied extremely seriously and did not dare to slack off.
But Liang Rong's thoughts, few people can guess. As a lecturer, Cui Ji only felt that the little son of Fujun was very different from other children. Calm and prudent, intelligent and eager to learn, he is really a first-class good student. As the only son of the monarch, and even the Kaimeng teacher of the entire Liang House staff group, what Cui Ji can obtain is not just teaching a few Mengtong children. The grace of teaching is only slightly inferior to the kindness of the king and the kindness of the family. Being able to be the teacher of these bureaucratic sons is a very rare personal connection in itself.
The mansion should have made sure of this as well, and just invited him to be the keynote speaker for the boys, right
Because he couldn't delay his main job, Cui Ji's class started from 3:00 o'clock to 3:00 o'clock, a total of one hour. After the lecture, the students can go to the cafeteria to eat the morning meal, and then continue to be taught by Liu Jian to count. Cui Ji didn't quite understand it before. He was also proficient in "Nine Chapters of Arithmetic", so why not let him teach it together? However, when he saw the commentary version of "Nine Chapters" re-engraved by the Liang family, he was convinced of Liu Hui's clan.
In the morning, there are only these two courses, and in the afternoon, another Cui family member will teach history and etiquette. Every three days, lessons in archery and musical instruments are added. Even the family studies of those nobles and dignitaries are nothing more than that.
Seeing that the disciples in the audience had finished reciting one more seriously, Cui Ji nodded and said, "Recite what we taught today from scratch."
The sound of books rang out again, circling the beam endlessly.

"My lord, this time my subordinates brought one hundred soldiers and two hundred recruits from the mansion. Zhang He's family also lived in the official residence." Lu Xie didn't rest, Yi Yan rushed back to Lucheng, and after a while. Come to meet Liang Feng early in the morning.
A mere 300 people, even if you add the soldiers who brought the county town before, can't form a decent establishment, and most of them are recruits who have never seen blood. It's a real headache. At first, I felt that I was not slow to expand the army, but now it seems that it is still too restrictive.
Liang Feng sighed lightly: "Let's arrange the people to be the guards in the city first. After the official field is established, we will start training new recruits. However, those trained in this way do not belong to Liang's residence. First, follow the method of the boxer soldiers. Tax reduction, if there is a war, let them bring their own weapons and dry food to fight."
The scale of Guantian far exceeds that of Liangfu. He can set up field troops in the name of Taishou, but he cannot take these people as his own. This is also in troubled times, and the court has lost its control, so it is possible to take advantage of it. If it was placed on the peace, it would have been regarded as a deliberate rebellion.
Yi Yan frowned: "Then the family soldiers in the house, I still need to practice more."
The lord does not have a military post, and the soldiers of the imperial court are not well used after all. Still need a lot of private soldiers before they can be used.
"Deputy Zhang Ying is also an old man in the battalion, so don't worry about that. With the financial resources of the mansion, it should be able to support it even if the army is doubled. These family soldiers are the key. In the future, they can be scattered in the official fields, and they can also serve as corps chiefs. "
This is also Liang Feng's plan. No matter any unit, junior officers are vital. He can't use troops in an open and honest way now, but it's not a big problem to place some of his own people in the official field. If there is a chance in the future, I have to ask Yiyan and the others for some official positions.
After thinking about it, Liang Feng said again: "Can you still recruit soldiers and horses in your clan?"
Wuxiang is also in Shangdang territory, and now it is justifiable for him to recruit Jieren again. With Yi Yan's example, it is even more convenient to control.
"Should be able to!" Yi Yan said, "A lot of clansmen returned from Yanzhou last year. As long as there is a lord who wants to use it, they will definitely be willing to use it."
The only person who can see Jie people as ordinary people is the master. Rather than being treated as a servant by others, or serving the Xiongnu, it is really better to come under the lord's tent. What's more, the lord also has a Buddha's name, which is even more worthy of worship for the clansmen who believe in Buddhism.
"That's good! If someone goes to Liangfu, they can bring their relatives and relatives together. Wuxiang also needs to resettle some people and reclaim the barren land. The two ethnic groups live together, and then they can live long and peaceful." Habits are a little blocked. If you can break this barrier and make these Jiehu's living habits closer to the Han people, it will be somewhat helpful. In the future, he will relocate the displaced people in a large scale, and if he does not occupy the land himself, it will be taken by the Huns.
"My subordinates know." Yi Yan replied simply. Such an arrangement would be of great benefit to the clan. As long as he is there, he can control these clansmen and drive the master.
"Besides that, there are many Xiongnu and Qiang people in Shangdang." Liang Feng picked up a roll of maps from the table and spread it out, "Niexian and Guyuan have Xiongnu residences, while Lingchuan has There are many Qiang households, and these people are also in Shangdang territory. If the Huns rise up, there will be a change."
Like other counties in Bingzhou, Shangdang is populated by many Hu people. If these people make trouble, the consequences will be disastrous.
"After the military camp is complete, the subordinates will lead the troops to suppress them!" Yi Yan said immediately.
"Suppressing them alone is useless, we still need to find a way to settle them down. The commander should be killed if he deserves it, and the others will be incorporated into the households. Let them understand the Chinese language and use it for me." . Most of the Hu people in the Northland are farming for a living, and most of them want to live and work in peace and contentment. Unless you have enough food and clothing, and you are on a dead end, who will raise a knife to rebel? Get rid of those who are ambitious and have different ideas, and others can be drawn. It's better to be treated differently.
"As for Liu Yuanhai..." Liang Feng's fingers slid westward along the map and landed on Zuoguocheng. Zuoguocheng is on the side of Lishi, and Lishi is the seat of Xihe State. Unfortunately, Xihe State and Shangdang County live next to each other, and they are the closest. "If you send troops from Lishi, I am afraid that within ten days, the army will be able to reach the city. If the light cavalry advances, it will be two days faster. Once Liu Yuanhai makes a move, Shangdang will face the front of the Huns!"
"Dongyinggong is still in Jinyang, and he will not let the Huns attack the Shangdang!" Yi Yan said immediately.
"How long can Duke Dongying stop him?" Liang Feng asked rhetorically.
Yi Yan couldn't answer this question.
"There is no time to take it slow. We must prepare as soon as possible to face the possible war. Bo Yuan, you have a heavy responsibility on your shoulders, but you are far better than before." Liang Feng said solemnly.
It was the first time that Yiyan had seen the overall situation of the Shangdang so intuitively. This is the dangerous situation the lord will face. Taking a deep breath, Yi Yan said, "Don't worry, my lord! As long as there are subordinates, I will definitely defend the party for you!"
Too many things, he is powerless. But for the battle, Yiyan still has some confidence. And now it's different from the past. Shangdang's food, grass, and people are far superior to Liang's mansion. It takes some time to train a strong army!
Seeing what Yiyan said, Liang Feng couldn't help but smile slightly: "That's what I want. And there's just one person in the house, maybe it can help the war..."
Before he finished speaking, he heard a bang in the distance, like a dull thunder. Yi Yan immediately turned his head and looked out. This sound is not right, it doesn't seem to come from the sky, but it seems to come from Fuzhong. Is it possible that the earth dragon turned over? But why didn't the foot vibrate
Yi Yan was in shock, but Liang Feng suddenly got up with joy: "It looks like it's done! Come and see me!"
what became? Yi Yan was stunned for a moment, then immediately followed behind Liang Feng and walked towards the backyard.
Not long after, the two came to a courtyard in the back house. This place was originally vacant, but now it is standing on the post. Before entering the door, a guard quickly greeted him: "Fu Jun, it seems that the furnace has just been fried!"
"Is there any casualties?" Liang Feng kept walking and asked quickly.
"No. But the pill house is destroyed." The soldier replied quickly.
"It's fine." Liang Feng felt relieved and walked into the small courtyard.
I saw a house in the west wing of the courtyard. At this moment, black smoke was coming out, and there was a pungent smell. Fortunately, the house was not damaged, nor did it catch fire. A figure stood outside the door in a state of embarrassment, with a lot of smudges on his body, his hair in a bun, and he was covering his mouth, nose and coughing with his sleeves.
Liang Feng smiled slightly and stepped forward: "Zhichuan, is it okay here?"
Seeing Liang Feng coming, Ge Hong tried his best to stop his coughing and smiled bitterly: "Fu Jun, I'm afraid the pill recipe you gave me isn't some way to suppress fire, right
