Chapter 21, Repairing the Public School, the Law of True Thinking
The war horse fell to the ground, and Chen Hongyu jumped down, looking at the little barbarian leader in front of him with some surprise.
In front, a little barbarian leader stood proudly holding a scimitar.
There was an arrow stuck in his left eye, and it was still shaking slightly, perhaps because of his actions just now.
"Sure enough, as Sima Xianggong said, these barbarians are unique in their Qi and Blood cultivation. For ordinary people to suffer such injuries, they will definitely die."
In the midst of his thoughts, the little leader rushed towards Chen Hongyu again, swearing in a half-baked Dawu Mandarin that emphasized the weirdness.
At this time, Chen Hongyu didn't care about exploring anything, and twisted his body directly to approach the barbarian. Only then did his energy circulate in his body, and he pierced through the heart with a sword.
After killing the little barbarian leader, Chen Hongyu headed towards the other barbarians again.
Not long after, Chen Hongyu directly broke through the formation, and more than twenty barbarians fell under him. The remaining barbarians were also frightened by his presence, and their fight with the county government officials was also affected.
At this time, the barbarians near Wubao also noticed the unfavorable situation here.
However, because Wubao is still some distance away from here, and the people in Wubao also received the message, they were restrained.
Chen Hongyu looked back and saw that because his behavior just now not only disrupted the formation of these barbarians, but also damaged their morale, they began to collapse.
Seeing that some government officials still wanted to pursue them, Chen Hongyu directly stopped them.
"Don't worry about the fleeing barbarians. Resolving the crisis in Nanshan is the goal."
With that said, he immediately climbed onto the war horse left behind by a barbarian leader.
This war horse was a little unruly at first, but after he released his aura to suppress it, he suddenly became extremely well-behaved.
With a slight squeeze of his legs, the war horse immediately headed towards Wubao like an arrow from its string.
Because he had a war horse, Chen Hongyu arrived at the Wubao in just a moment.
"Xuzhi County!" Without bothering to talk to the officials in Wubao, Chen Hongyu looked among the hundreds of barbarians and saw a strong barbarian man in the center.
At this time, he just glanced at Chen Hongyu coldly, and led the barbarians to retreat with a few loud shouts.
Obviously, he had just learned about Chen Hongyu's difficulties, and defeated hundreds of barbarians with one person and one horse.
Moreover, there were hundreds of government officials following behind, making the situation even more difficult.
Since nothing can be done, retreat as soon as possible.
"Xiaoguan Nanshan Township Zhengtang Kun, I have met the county magistrate!"
"Lord Tang, there is no need to be so polite!" Chen Hongyu shook his head, and under the complicated eyes of the people around him, he took a corpse of a barbarian and cut off a piece of rag to wipe the blood on the sword in his hand.
In their memory, the past magistrates of Anding County, whether they were sent by prefectures or prefectures or were Jinshi scholars, even though they had an understanding of military affairs, there was only one ferocious magistrate who could break through the formation alone, Chen Hongyu.
The most important thing is that it is said that the current magistrate of Xuxian County has not yet been crowned.
"Now that the Nanshan dilemma has been solved, let's continue to other places. I don't know why these barbarians suddenly launched such a large-scale robbery."
Shaking his head, Chen Hongyu did not stay long and led the government officials and some county soldiers to continue heading to other places.
…
In early October of the ninth year of Hongguang, barbarians from the Wushan Mountains came out in large numbers. The three counties near Wushan near the river were plundered and suffered heavy losses.
Among them, Anding County suffered the least losses. It is said that Xu Ping, the new top scholar who had just taken office two months ago, rushed to and fro in Xu County alone, and finally led the county soldiers and the reinforcements from the county to completely defeat the barbarians in Anding County.
…
In November of the ninth year of Hongguang, the county town was settled.
Although it is already the depth of winter, due to the warm climate in Bazhou, even the coldest winter is not necessarily that cold.
Therefore, there are still many people active on this street.
"Brother Zhou, Brother Du, do you think the scene on the street is more lively than in previous years?" Chen Hongyu looked at Zhou Yang, Du Ming and other government officials behind him.
"It's all thanks to the magistrate. If it weren't for the magistrate who rushed to help all parts of the county, I'm afraid this year would be even more serious than in previous years."
Zhou Yang and Du Ming looked at each other and praised.
This is out of sincerity. In the past, barbarian plunder was just a small incident. Even if it was serious, it was not that serious. They would take the opportunity to absorb some tenants.
But this time, these barbarians went crazy and went out to rob the mountains in large numbers.
There are nearly three thousand barbarians in Anding County alone. Fortunately, the newly arrived Xuzhi County rushed to help everywhere and maintained the situation in Anding County with his strong personal force and exquisite swordsmanship.
After the county soldiers who had been distracted came to their senses, another group of county soldiers were sent to Anding County.
If it hadn't been for Chen Hongyu, the three of them would have suffered a lot this time, even if they had great businesses.
After seeing the expressions on the two people's faces, Chen Hongyu spoke again: "Perhaps due to the barbarians, the people in Anding County live in relatively poor conditions, and the conditions of the public schools are very poor.
Therefore, I want to take advantage of my free time in winter to integrate and repair public schools in various places."
As he said that, he looked at the two of them with a somewhat thoughtful look.
After hearing this, the two of them were slightly silent. They knew the situation in Anding County.
The public schools in each township, including those in the county, are actually very dilapidated. Only the family schools or private schools of various families are still running well.
They knew what Chen Hongyu meant when he said this. He just wanted to repair and upgrade public schools in various places.
However, the county's finances are rather ugly. The annual relief for the people, food and salary for the county soldiers, etc. have left little remaining in the finances.
It stands to reason that Chen Hongyu had owed them a lot of favors during the barbarian raids, and they were very happy to get along with each other on a daily basis. However, the cost of renovating and upgrading the public schools in Anding County was not small, which made them feel a little sad.
After all, as the head of a family, he has the responsibility of the entire clan.
They already had a good reputation for protecting their tenants when the barbarians attacked.
At this time, doing things like repairing the county school is just the icing on the cake.
Moreover, the children of their respective families can study in the clan schools and do not have to go to public schools.
However, after thinking about this person's background, the two of them agreed: "Xuzhi County, although our three families have a big business, our expenses are not low, and we only have a slight surplus.
The damage was quite serious this time, and there was not much energy left.
However, repairing the county heavy public school is a good thing for Zebei Township, so the three of us provide part of the finance needed to repair public schools in various places free of charge."
Seeing the somewhat pained expressions on the two people's faces, Chen Hongyu smiled lightly, knowing that the two of them were probably just pretending.
Not to mention the three families, there are three powerful families in Anding County, and any one of them can independently complete the renovation of the public school capital.
"For this renovation of the public school, I will specially invite several prominent figures from Minglian Academy to give lectures, so that our students in Anding County can receive better education.
I will even give lectures at the county public school from time to time."
After the words fell, the two people who saw him said in unison with stern expressions on their faces: "Renovating public schools in various places is to improve Anding County Public Schools.
We were born in Anding and grew up in Anding. Now that Xuzhi County intends to improve the teaching level of Anding Public School, how can we stand by and watch.
Our family will bear all the expenses required to repair the county school this time."
