He Lingchuan's neighbor and Xiaopang's father were sent to Yuheng City by the government, and the official accounts could not be completed.
There are many accounts, which means there are many various matters.
"Why is Yuheng City expanding? I originally thought that Panlong City valued the old capital of Xiqiao more." He Lingchuan calculated the locations of the two places in his mind, "Is it because Yuheng City is on the border, separated from the Jinyang Kingdom by only a river?"
"The old capital of Xiqiao is located to the west but on the plain. If Panlong City wants to guard the gateway to the western mountainous area, it only needs to hold Longhou Pass. Yuheng City, as you said, is a border fortress. But
I see that when Commander Zhong runs Yuheng City, his focus is not on guarding against the Kingdom of Jin."
"Oh?" He Lingchuan hadn't come in for a long time. He didn't know what changes had happened to the new territory east of Panlong City. "Tell me about it?"
"The two masters who came back from Yuheng City these days both said that the country of Xi'an was actually affected by banditry. Even Yuheng City was robbed by bandits from the south."
He Lingchuan wondered: "Robbers rob a military town? This is unheard of."
When he was a young man in Blackwater City, although there were always bandits on Hongya Road, they only robbed merchants and did not disturb the border towns, and fled in anticipation of the officers and soldiers.
Bandits are generally relatively loose, and it is difficult to organize a decent local armed regime to compete with the officialdom.
Therefore, the bandits on Hongya Road have an old saying that bandits do not fight against the government.
"The southeastern part of Xiqiao seems to be very special. Bandits are rampant, and the officers and soldiers have nothing to do with them." Sun Fuling said with a smile, "These ruthless bandits even threaten the southern trade routes. I heard that Xiqiao took a long detour to build official roads.
, just to avoid them, but they still went to plunder the southern trade route."
He Lingchuan nodded: "I went to Yunzhen Island to buy things. Fatty Bai always made excuses for raising prices, saying that bandits were rampant on the South Road and things couldn't be transported."
In addition to the ghost cicadas, there are also many delicious fruits, and the prices increase every time I buy them!
"Now that Xiqiao is owned by Panlong City, I don't know what Commander Zhong has planned against these ruthless bandits."
He Lingchuan thought for a while: "Commander Xiao who was originally stationed in Yuheng City has been transferred back. I don't know who will be sent there next time."
Sun Fuling hummed, resting her elbows on the wooden handrail, leaning on her head and looking up at the sky: "It's been a long time since we've had such good weather."
Above the head is the dark blue sky, with stars twinkling like diamonds on black velvet.
He Lingchuan's eyes moved from her tight and shapely jawline to the night sky. He glanced at it casually and then froze.
"Huh?" He couldn't help but point out his hand, "When did that star shine?"
Thanks to the tasks he performed in reality, he could already distinguish the positions of the Big Dipper stars in the night sky at a glance.
However, there is another star shining next to Tianshu Star, which is much brighter than the nine stars!
"When did this star appear?" Sun Fuling was also observing carefully, "It seems that I have never seen it before."
But He Lingchuan knew that it was Tianluo Star!
Doesn't Tianluo Star only appear when the big square pot moves? Why is it shining tonight?
Could it be that Zhong Shengguang or General Red activated the Dafang Pot?
No, with their caution, they would not do this easily unless they were fully prepared.
So, most likely...
Punishment Dragon Pillar?
Shao Jian has been away for a while. Has the Dragon Punishment Pillar he spread spread started to be used by others?
He Lingchuan's thoughts were transferred to him.
Dafang Hu has always been worried about what he is worried about. In reality, he has to deal with the spirit gathering formation. Will Panlong City provide corresponding assistance?
"Is there any master in the Academy or Panlong City who is proficient in celestial phenomena?"
"Celestial phenomenon?" Sun Fuling said without thinking, "Yes, Dean Xu."
Xu Shichu? He Lingchuan listened to his open class on ancient demons and immortals, and he mentioned Juju in it. Did Dean Xu have such a wide range of interests?
Sun Fuling seemed to have read through his thoughts: "The dean is knowledgeable and talented, and he is proficient in astronomy and calendar calculations."
"What about divination?"
"...Well, we all think that Mr. Wen Daolun is better, but the dean doesn't think so." She rolled her eyes at He Lingchuan and said slightly, "Are you picking on my bad language?"
When she glared, He Lingchuan immediately said: "Don't dare, don't dare."
He quickly returned to business: "I want to see Dean Xu for advice."
"There are frequent personnel changes in the academy, and there are major exams to be organized. Dean Xu has been so busy lately that he is hitting the back of his head with his heels."
He Lingchuan extended his hands to her repeatedly: "Master Sun, please help me. You have great powers and you will definitely be able to help me get an appointment."
Sun Fuling smiled, with a pear expression on her face: "I spent all my efforts to make an appointment for you, what's the benefit?"
The three words "great strength" have an accent.
Master Sun, whom we just met, doesn’t seem to be like this?
Who did she learn from?
"Then, but by driving?" He Lingchuan patted his arm and said proudly, "I am such a big person, you can use it as you like."
He didn't dare to say this to Li Qingge, but Master Sun was a serious person and would definitely not use him "casually", right?
Sun Fuling glanced at him, and that look made him feel a little guilty.
But she quickly bit her lip: "In a few days, I will also send a batch of books to Yuheng City, where they will be printed and used as teaching materials. I will also customize the test questions for next spring. Will you accompany me?"
He Lingchuan looked sideways: "You compiled the teaching materials and examination questions? Master Sun, what kind of official are you in the academy?"
He originally thought that Sun Fuling was just an ordinary teacher in the official school, teaching and disciplining the children. Now it seems that there is more to it than that?
Yes, now I think about it, she is the direct disciple of the Academy Dean, and she is familiar with Wen Daolun. These are the top people in Panlong City.
So, how could she be just a teacher?
"I finally remembered to ask today?" Sun Fuling snorted, "I am Dr. Xuegong."
"Ah!" He Lingchuan was a little surprised, "It turns out to be Mr. Sun, disrespectful!"
The "doctor" here is not just an academic qualification, but a serious academic official who not only teaches and teaches, but also manages books and regulations.
This person is receiving an official salary. No wonder Master Sun’s family has so much charcoal that it can’t be burned and is piled up in the corner. In the end, it is all sent to him. He usually buys wine, meat and snacks at will, so he can earn a high salary.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "He Lushuai is so polite." The donkey cart entered the south square of the city. It did not go directly to the academy. Instead, it listened to Sun Fuling's words and went to the market first.
"If you want to ask someone to do something, you can't go empty-handed." Sun Fuling pointed out to him, "Go to the seventh shop to buy cloud cakes. You don't want their signature sesame flavor, but the peanut butter ones; buy another one.
A pound of butterfly cake, I want it to taste like caramel sugar.”
"Then go to the shop opposite Fatty Bai and buy two boxes of tea shipped from Xincheng in the south. Now that the southern trade route has been opened, Dean Xu has recently become obsessed with Chengan tea."
He Lingchuan bought them one by one and got on the bus again.
This time the donkey cart stopped directly at the gate of the academy.
Ahead is the main gate of the Academy. The red walls and gray tiles are old, and the corners of the bricks are white. The first four pillars are all four people hugging each other. It looks strong and majestic, but the newly painted wood paint cannot hide the original appearance.
vicissitudes of life.
There are brick carvings embedded in the walls on both sides of the gate, with a dragon head on one side and a sacred bird on the other, both of which are very pictographic.
"This place has been around for more than 300 years and was established long before the West Luo Kingdom. After Commander Zhong took over Panlong City, he started to expand it and retained the old gate, old buildings and many ancient trees of the academy." Photo by Sun Fuling
Pai Dazhu said: "Every year when new students enter from the main entrance for the first time, they have to pass through these 'asking pillars'."
Asked?
Under the double eaves and brackets at the gate of the academy, there is only a new sign, which is "Shu Ping Academy", with gold letters on a blue background and a dignified look.
He Lingchuan had passed through the south of the city countless times, and even visited the government offices nearby twice, but he had never entered Shuqin Academy. Probably because he had studied for more than ten years, and subconsciously he did not want to enter the school again.
Now, he followed Master Sun and obediently crossed the threshold.
Just like most schools he had seen before, there was a large square behind the gate of the academy. The bluestone ground was exceptionally flat, and towering trees that were hundreds of years old were scattered here and there.
There is a large square pool in the middle of the square, and the koi are so fat that they can hardly swim.
It was getting dark, and He Lingchuan saw a few young people sweeping the square with bamboo brooms. In the academy, the sound of brushing sounded very comfortable.
"I thought there were only children in the academy." How could there be so many strong young men?
There were several people who secretly looked at Master Sun, but He Lingchuan gave them a sharp glare, and these guys were wiped out.
"There are all ages. The oldest student I have taught is already seventy-two years old." Sun Fuling walked back briskly, "Commander Zhong has been in office for seventeen years and has always encouraged civilians to study hard and practice hard. Therefore, the students are actually young.
The main thing is to be strong, and you can apply what you have learned very quickly.”
The land in Panlong City is expensive, but the Academy covers an area of forty acres, an area equivalent to two official offices. This shows that Zhong Shengguang attaches great importance to the Academy.
The entire academy is divided into four courtyards, and the structure is quite strict.
There were many teachers and students coming and going, and they all greeted Sun Fuling.
Master Sun's popularity in the academy is really good.
As soon as he entered the school, the hustle and bustle outside seemed to disappear, and the fragrance of grass lingered around him. Walking on such a school road, with a beautiful woman beside him, He Lingchuan felt peaceful, and all the worries in reality were gone.
Was thrown aside.
He started talking: "There is also an ancient spiritual tree in the capital of Bejia Kingdom, called the 'Questioning Tree'."
"That tree on the Xu Mountain?" Sun Fuling had obviously heard of it, "I heard that it was originally the guardian tree of the Great Return Sect. It had gone through great catastrophes and helped the Great Return Sect defeat the gods. Unexpectedly, the northern demon kingdom occupied the Xu Mountain
At that time, I didn’t even cut it off.”
"It was originally going to be chopped down. I heard that Shanze and King Baoshu interceded for it, so the Demon Emperor let it go. Now it has become a major scenic spot in Xushan Mountain."
"You know all this?" Sun Fuling smiled and praised him, "It seems that you haven't put down your book. Originally, I was worried that you had a heavy workload and would not care about him."
He Lingchuan smiled bitterly: "Only by knowing yourself and your enemy can you survive." In fact, every time he entered Panlong City, he would change two new books on his bedside. Needless to say, this is Master Sun's masterpiece.
