Although the provincial government had not yet approved it, Liu Jueming took office as the prison officer from the ninth-rank county, and of course he took away his confidants. Wu Jie took office as the head of the 20-person yard team. He was a member of the jail for generations. There were some young brothers in the county, so he immediately selected the powerful ones and approved them to take office.
With this group of people, Fang Xin suddenly felt much more at ease, but he also wanted them to understand the rules.
At present, everyone is preparing, and the military camp is noisy every day, training soldiers, craftsmen and blacksmiths, and creating weapons day and night, as well as county towns, are also further investigating and repairing them.
The inspection sent a large number of personnel to continuously monitor the movements of the Manshi and report them every day, and the information became increasingly urgent. The 11 tribes of the Manshi jointly recommended the leader of the clan, Da Keding, as the chief of the tribe, to gather 10,000 troops.
Fang Xin immediately without hesitation, quickly reported to the county and provincial government, and reported: "The enemy is already in great force, and there are only 600 soldiers in the county, how can we defend the enemy? Please allocate troops and food!"
When the official document was brought up, although he quickly instructed him to bring a batch of 1,200 pieces of winter clothes and 500 stones of food, there was no soldier or general. The last line said: "I promise you to build a team to defend the county town. If you lose your land, you will definitely ask you for your responsibility!"
With this official document, Fang Xin ordered all villages in the county without hesitation: "The village training teams in each town gather in the county town. If they don't come, they will use privately to store their soldiers and armor, and their intentions are indiscriminate. If the enemy is ahead, they dare to postpone it. Don't you know if the magistrate of the family is defeated?"
Suddenly, each township and village had to work on their own. Even if they wanted to retain their strength and defend their hometown, they would have sent out several troops. At that time, they gathered 2,000 troops, all of which were commanded and trained by Qi Zhiqing.
In this way, we tried every means to increase our strength. After half a month, someone reported to him and said that the county school had been completed.
Fang Xin smiled and said, "This is a big deal. Let's go and open a house."
At that moment, Fang Xin took Wu Jie and Song Wenchen to the county house. The school house was located near the Chenghuang Temple in the north of the county town. When he arrived at the door, he saw the county school teacher Zhang Qian and Pan Zhengfan greeted him from the ninth-rank teaching. There were only a dozen scholars behind him. The two looked embarrassed, but Fang Xin didn't care.
The school opened, and the Holy Card of Confucius and Mencius, and the card of Heaven, Earth, Lord, Parents and Teachers. Fang Xin led people to pay a visit to burn incense, and then officially opened the door. Each student gave a set of Confucian clothes, five kilograms of meat, and a bag of rice.
"Hey, county middle school students, how many people are there to nourish their ambition and qi? I am so sad!" After I went into the room and sat down, the county school teacher Zhang Qian said, "He is old and has not lived for a few years, so he naturally confessed."
"That's right, even if the county is remote, there are still a hundred students in the county middle school. Kaixianshe is supposed to be a visit to the heaven, earth, and the emperor, and his parents, but they are all panic and can't refuse. They are really ashamed to be scholars!" Pan Zhengfan tightened his lips, suppressed his anger, and said with a sneer.
"At this time, the thieves in the Barbarians have been in chaos, and all villages and villages are thinking about defense and preparing in advance. It is normal for these people to have some thoughts." Fang Xin calmly drank tea, his eyes shining dark and shiny: "Building a school house and worshiping the king, the king, the relatives and teachers is a great virtue. Back then, Confucius said that I would rather do it than do it. Even if there are only one or two students today, the school house must be open, let alone we are not at this point yet."
The county school teacher Zhang Qian breathed silently. He was old, but he had more experience. The county magistrate who was only nineteen years old had this kind of cultivation and demeanor. After passing this barrier, his future was limitless!
"This time I came, I actually have other things to discuss with the two adults in the county." Fang Xin took another sip of tea and said.
"Sir, please tell me."
"If you want to spread the books of sages, you must first have books of sages. What do you think?"
"Of course!" both of them said immediately.
"Well, but it's very expensive to transport books and paper from the mainland. In my hometown, a book costs 100 essays. When you get here, you need a thousand essays. It's so expensive that reading is not easy!"
"That's right, it's right!" When it comes to this, both of them feel the same way.
"Why do you think that papermaking and printing are insulting?" Fang Xin said.
Suddenly, both of them understood what Fang Xin meant. After thinking about it, the county school teacher Zhang Qian said, "How could this be a disgrace to her morality? Cai Hou made paper and is famous all over the world. After a thousand years, Yu De, what do you want to do?"
"Of course, we don't have to do it in detail. However, our county has obtained three-volume papermaking technology from its hometown. The first volume is the movable curtain bed paper mold. If this is used to make it, thousands of wet paper can be repeatedly retrieved, which improves the craftsmanship. The second volume is mulberry skin, rattan skin, rice and wheat straw, and bamboo to make paper. Especially the latter two items are common locally. Bamboo is more common in local jungles, and bamboo grows very fast, which is really a great deal. Although the bamboo paper process is complicated, if it is made, it is actually a top Ming Xuan paper."
"There is another volume, which is printing technology. This is already popular in the mainland, but it is rare in the local area. If you can produce paper by yourself and print books of sages, it will be the result of education."
"I have already understood what I mean by sir, so I will just give you instructions."
"Well, this county wants to set up a bookstore for printing, so it is placed under the name of the county school. However, the method of making paper requires the county school students to cooperate with craftsmen to spread it to the countryside, and they can make it. When the countryside can make paper and choose the best, it can not only educate, but also benefit the people. How about it?"
"Sir, how dare we not obey, but now..."
"Of course not now. It's not too late to wait until the bandits retreat."
"In this way, I will be respectfully ordered." Pan Zhengfan took three volumes from the ninth-grade teaching and said, "Don't worry, sir, before the thief retreats, the subordinates will study it first. Once they retreat, they can be made into paper and printed to support the scholars in the county."
The roads in Anchang Province are difficult to move. As long as you can produce paper and publish books, you can naturally occupy the market share in this area of ​​the province. Fang Xin smiled and was about to say something, but saw a noise outside. Then a patrolman rushed in. When he entered the door, he hurriedly knelt: "Sir, the bandits have been dispatched, and they are heading straight to the county!"
The two school officials were shocked, but Fang Xin did not move. He lowered his head and took a sip of tea, put it down gently, and said, "I wanted to say something to the two adults, but now it seems that there is no chance."
"The magistrate guards the people, so this is naturally a big deal, and there is no need to worry about us." The two of them said quickly.
Fang Xin got up, and when he arrived at the door, he said, "You don't have to send me far away, please come back!"
After saying that, he said to the yamen: "Call the Lords and discuss matters immediately. I want to see what kind of person is this Da Keding who can gather tens of thousands of people to attack!"
When speaking, the clear and awe-inspiring aura was like a striking ice and jade, which was obvious in this statement.
The two of them couldn't help but take it away, and they couldn't speak for a moment, and saw him walking away in a sedan chair.
Fang Xin returned to the county government and saw that everyone had arrived again. As soon as Fang Xin went in, he immediately said, "Master Qiao Bo, you should immediately inform all the towns and villages, and say that the bandits had arrived and all moved into the city."
The county lord Bo Qiao Jieying bowed and responded to "Yes", but then he heard Fang Xin say with a grim smile: "There are more than ten thousand bandits. If you want to come from Lianggou Mountain, it will take at least three to five days. During this period, they should be withdrawn and ordered them to bring food and abandon all other things. If you order them repeatedly, you will never come again. You will be seeking death and will not live!"
All the great masters understood that the conflict between the Han and the Yi was very great, and there were revenge and killings from time to time. The army of the Barbarians came and did not enter the city again. The fate was obvious, but if someone wanted to defend his hometown and refused to enter the city, they had to die.
But he saw that the county lord Bo Qiao Jieying hesitated for a moment and said, "Do you send troops to urge me?"
"Send troops to urge us, what soldiers do we have? Let's scatter and fight with them first? Moreover, there are hundreds of miles of the county. When the Mansi comes, and there is no time to summon it, what can we use to defend the city?" Fang Xin looked at him in surprise, as if he was looking at a monster.
"Yes, it's the lower official Meng Lang." County lord Bo Qiao Jieying suddenly turned red and took a step back.
He heard Fang Xin gritting his teeth and laughing: "It's September 8th now. As long as you guard for three months, it will be cold and cold. I see what these Manzis are going to attack. The court is in a prosperous state. The weather is in my own right and the geographical advantage. I have a city and he has a forest. It is considered equal. Now we must work together to occupy this person, the county magistrate Gu Qingbin, and the camp is in charge of Qi Zhiqing!"
The two of them immediately stood up together, bowed and said, "Here!"
"Qi Zhiqing, you can immediately rectify the army and collect all the tincture oil items in the nearby villages. You must also rectify the huge stones and wood. In the future, you will be commanded by the two thousand troops. Do you understand?"
"The official understands!" This awe-inspiring aura made Qi Zhiqing almost think that he was facing the general in the army and immediately replied.
"Gu Qingbin, and if the people enter the city, all the strong men will be selected, and they will be organized into several teams and take turns to guard the wall to replace the sergeants in non-war times, so that the sergeants can have a rest time and can also fight against the enemy if necessary. Do you understand?"
"The official understands!" Gu Qingbin responded immediately.
"Zhang Yang!"
"There is the official!"
"Your hundred soldiers are just for the supervision team. If during wartime, someone riots, they will kill me immediately, some people retreat, they will kill me immediately, some people escape, they will kill me immediately, no matter who it is, even if it is the county, even if you dare to escape from the city, you will kill me, do you understand?"
"Yes, the official understands." After hearing this, Zhang Yang responded with no expression and responded. Everyone couldn't help but tremble. Zhang Yang was really doing this.
"Others, please follow me to arrange the arrangements to fight against the enemy and thieves!"
Chapter completed!
