() Military exercises are undoubtedly very successful. I believe that as long as such weapons are not developed, other countries will not dare to easily invade Liangshan territory.

As soon as the exercise was over, Xiao Xian came to Zhu Wu and asked to buy a few such cannons. The price was not a problem. Of course, for the sake of allies, the cheaper the better.

Song instructed Zhu Wu early in the morning to sell it to him, which was not expensive, with a minimum price of 100,000 taels of silver per door.

Of course, Zhu Wu could not agree to Xiao Xian so easily. He first rejected him on the grounds of military secrets, but then pretended to be unable to withstand his requests, so he agreed to think of a solution for him.

Xiao Xian would do something, so he secretly gave Zhu Wu two thousand taels of silver notes.

Zhu Wu never dared to take this kind of money, but in order to confuse Xiao Xian, he happily took it, and then handed it over to Chai Jin and entered the treasury.

In the end, Zhu Wu sold Xiao Xian ten sects at a price of 120,000 taels per sect. Because Xiao Xian didn't bring so many silver notes, Zhu Wu told him that he had to get the silver notes as soon as possible, otherwise King Liang might have raised the price.

So Xiao Xian went back in a hurry to prepare for the money.

Wanyan Zonghan and Tuoba Yifang both wanted to buy it, and Song Qing didn't want to sell it to them, but in the current hostile state, both of them wisely did not speak. However, they had already recorded the artillery patterns in secret and found someone to copy them after they went back.

To Wanyan Zonghan's surprise, Song Qing actually took the initiative to give them artillery, with only one condition, Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures.

This condition made Wanyan Zonghan very embarrassed. He really wanted artillery, but he did not have the right to exchange it for the city. So he told Song Qing that he could not make the decision on this matter and had to go back and ask the emperor for instructions.

Song Qing didn't expect him to agree, he just needed to pass on a message to his father-in-law.

It’s not that no one has reminded Song Qing not to leak the secret of the artillery, but he just smiled, because not only Liangshan Military Arms Supervision has created a conical warhead with a longer range, but the steel of the artillery itself is not so easy to forge. Military Arms Supervision also has integrated the forging technology of the RIB to break through this technical problem, so it is not so easy to imitate.

As the envoys from various countries left, the noisy Liangshan River calmed down again.

It is not difficult to see from the expressions of envoys from various countries before leaving that Song Qing could do something else.

As the situation in Hebei gradually stabilized, many refugees who fled to Shandong began to return to their homes one after another. When these people went back, local Shandong officials prepared grain seeds for them in accordance with the order issued by Song Qing so that they could produce and save themselves in time when they returned.

Farming.

If everything goes well, I believe that after this autumn harvest this year, there will be no more hungry people in Hebei, and the people will not wander around when they are full, which will take a solid step for stable development.

Leaving the damselfly and the others on vacation in Liangshan, Song Qing came to Luoyang.

Before he entered the city, Song Qing fell in love with it. Not to mention the steep terrain around him, the majestic momentum of this city alone is enough to be daunting. It is worthy of being favored by more than 100 emperors of all dynasties.

Moreover, the two Jin soldiers invaded, and the war did not affect this place, so all infrastructure inside and outside the city were kept in good condition.

Chen Dong and Shi Xiu left the city to welcome Song Qing. It can be seen that the two felt good about being an official here, especially Chen Dong, who knew that Song Qing would choose this place as the capital.

According to Song Qing's instructions, Chen Dong came to Luoyang to take office, and no one of the officials in Kaifeng was led. Moreover, after he took office in Luoyang, he also laid off many officials who were vacant to occupy their positions and did not do their own affairs. He promoted some young people who were down-to-earth and willing to work hard and had no background.

It can be said that the Luoyang officialdom is now in a vibrant scene, with improved work efficiency and of course it has also won more support from the people.

Chen Dong now has a deep understanding of Song Qing’s original decision. He knew that if Song Qing had not given timely reminders, he would have become like the officials in the Song Dynasty and was eventually abandoned by Song Qing.

Since Song Qing led Liangshan men to rescue the court from danger several times, the people of Luoyang felt that there was something wrong with Song Qing opening a government office here.

As for the old man Chen who was hostile to Song Qing, he probably couldn't even find his ashes.

Although Song Qing came to Luoyang to inspect the place, he also wanted to discuss a major event with Chen Dong.

As the territory continues to expand, Song Qing feels more and more a shortage of talents. What he lacks the most now is the jing soldiers and generals who can charge and fight, especially Yue Fei, Han Shizhong, etc., who are all coaches, so there is nothing to worry about in this regard.

But fighting and governing the local area are different. Now many occupied areas still use the former officials of the Song Dynasty. Although they do not have the courage to rebel, many of their methods of doing things still follow the Song Dynasty's arrangement.

The Northern Song Dynasty was already rotten to the core, and local officials were the cornerstone of a regime. Song Qing did not want his regime to be built on such a group of cornerstones, so it was urgent to select new officials.

However, Song Qing was not very good at choosing officials. He always said that recruiting talents, but he increasingly realized that the demand for talents is a long-term thing and must have a complete system.

Luoyang was once designated as Xijing by the Northern Song Dynasty, so there was also an imperial palace here. However, with Song Qing's current identity, it was obvious that he could not move in.

Chen Dong and others first accompanied Song Qing to visit the famous places and historical sites in Luoyang, and then went to see the new palace under construction.

Song Qing was still very satisfied with the project built by Li Yun. This time he did not criticize Li Yun anymore. This kid's idea was too serious. He said it would be like he didn't say it. He could do whatever he wanted!

After dinner, Song Qing left Chen Dong alone and told him his thoughts, and wanted to hear Chen Dong's opinions.

Chen Dong came from the highest institution of the Song Dynasty, and he was naturally stronger than Song Qing in this regard. Song Qing did not know that when Song Huizong was in power, he abolished the scientific examination and selected outstanding people to be officials in the Imperial Academy.

Chen Dong pondered for a moment before saying: "In fact, I do not agree that officials are selected from the Imperial Academy, which is easy to lose talents. Therefore, I suggest that the scientific research should be restored and the talented people in the world can be used by the king."

Song Qing nodded and said, "I am not good at this. You can first draw up a charter in the Ethereum model. Let Wu Junshi take charge of this matter."

After pausing, he said, "I am still thinking about one thing recently. After the war in Hebei, many things have been abandoned. I want to first order people to run village and county schools in various places so that children from poor people can read books. Then select outstanding ones from these children and send them to provincial schools and state schools to receive more education. The government will be fully responsible for the costs. Of course, this is just my idea. You still need to plan the specific plan."

Chen Dong was surprised that a person from a bandit could attach so much importance to education, especially Song Qing's emphasis on allowing poor children to receive education, which made Chen Dong look at him with admiration.

This is a great thing that benefits the country and the people. Chen Dong couldn't help but stand up and bow to Song Qing deeply and said, "The prince's move is of far-reaching significance. I thank the prince for his behalf for the poor people in the world."

In fact, the school has been available for a long time, and it was not the pioneering act of Song Qing. However, throughout the dynasties, educational resources were in the hands of nobles. It would be good if children from poor families could enter private schools to recognize words, let alone receive more education.

Chen Dong was a person who knew this kind of ills, but as a person trained by the Imperial Academy, he belonged to the aristocratic class and did not think there was anything wrong with this, so he never cared about it until Song Qing proposed it.

Song Qing smiled and asked him to sit down, and then said: "Let poor children have books to read. This is just the beginning. The next step is to set up public clinics in various places to treat the disease for free for those who cannot afford to see a doctor."

Public clinics? They also treat the people for free?

Song Qing's advanced ideas made Chen Dong unable to keep up. He knew that this move was also a benefit to the people, but in this way, how much expense would the government have to bear? It would take countless silver to open schools at all levels. If a public clinic is being opened, can the government bear it?

He couldn't help but say, "Although this move is good, isn't it a bit too hasty?"

"It is indeed not the time, but I have discussed with Doctor An to open a school in Luoyang that specializes in teaching medical skills, specializing in cultivating talents in this area for future use. In this matter, you should also open more convenience for him."

"Prince, please rest assured, I will do my best to help Doctor An"

The next day, the Luoyang Prefecture Office issued an edict to the prefectures under the control of Liangshan in the name of King Liang. It vigorously promoted village and county schools. It implemented compulsory education for children from poor families, and all the expenses were borne by the government. The King Liang would allocate funds from various taxes to compensate the governments in various places.

After the restoration of colleges at all levels, Luoyang will reopen the imperial examinations next year to select talents for the country.

At the same time as this edict, the documents on the establishment of a medical college in Luoyang were also conveyed to the local government, and talents interested in medical science were recruited to come and study.

Once these two edicts were issued, the whole country was shocked.

The Song Dynasty is now in a state of decline, which anyone can see, but many people are not optimistic about Song Qing. Where can a person from a bandit succeed?

But through these two edicts, everyone's impression of Song Qing was greatly improved. Teaching and educating people, medical skills saved people, and mainly targeted the poor people. What kind of mind and vision is the decision that can be made?

The imperial examination system has existed since ancient times, and it was abolished by the Emperor, who had long lost news. Now this system has been restored, which has made many scholars who have studied hard and hard to celebrate.

For a time, the prestige of King Liang Song Qing rose to an unprecedented level, and he was gradually recognized by the scholars of Hebei, especially in Shandong. No one felt that he was a citizen of the Song Dynasty and was honored for being the citizen of Prince Liang.
