The three Liaodong prefectures are too small. No matter where you live, you can only walk for more than ten days at most to reach Jiang County.

There is leisure among scholars, and the rich people connect with each other, gathering towards Jiang County like the sea and rivers.

In the house of the General of Han, in a room in the front yard, Liu Zhixing and Zhang Haiping sat together to drink tea. Liu Zhixing smiled bitterly.

Zhang Haiping looked solemn and asked in a sigh: "Sir Liu. Now that things are getting bigger, what are you going to do?"

"What else can I do? The generals come to block the water and cover the soil." Liu Zhixing sighed, put down the teacup in his hand, shook his head and said.

"What the adults said was too easy. Should we send troops to suppress it? Most of these scholars have innocent family backgrounds and no one has affair with the Mongolian Yuan people."

"In the future, our generals of the Han Dynasty will operate and absorb fresh blood. They are the best official sources. If we don't settle this matter, it will be difficult to do things in the future."

Zhang Haiping smiled bitterly and said repeatedly.

"It's not easy to deal with. It's also necessary. Scholars must change." Liu Zhixing smiled bitterly and his attitude was very firm.

Zhang Haibian looked at Liu Zhixing's expression carefully and had some guesses in his heart. Liu Zhixing was a rebellious person in the imperial examination.

He was smart and talented, but he only took the exam for a scholar. He said that the identity of a scholar was enough. What is lacking in the world is not a Juren or a Jinshi, but a lack of people who can do things.

So he learned the techniques of building cities, transferring food and grass, managing the people, military books, and even he even knew how to plow the fields and take care of the crops.

But no matter how rebellious Liu Zhixing was, he would not dare to make these changes in the imperial examination.

And only one person can make Liu Zhixing so firm in his attitude.

General.

"The general is really a drastic and decisive person. Even if the imperial examination and Confucianism say they intervene, they will intervene."

Zhang Haiping thought to himself that he was a little pessimistic about this matter itself. However, he praised Wu Nian's courage.

If it weren't for this kind of courage, how could a general start with three hundred elite soldiers and fight against the 100,000 soldiers of the Mongolian Yuan?

That's not something that ordinary people can do.

Things became more and more intense, and finally it was time for Liu Zhixing to come forward.

This morning.

In the midst of spring, the officials of the entire General of the Han Dynasty were wearing thick clothes and busy.

The newly recruited six thousand households have not yet passed. It is a huge workload to arrange women to start a family on the spot for those Chu State surrendering troops.

In addition, the food and grass transport, weapons, war horses, etc. of 18 thousand soldiers from the warriors were transported.

Now another official school has been established at all levels.

These things were all the ideas that Wu Nian had come up with, and the officials were busy without touching the ground.

A large number of scholars gathered in front of the General's Mansion of the Suihan General. They expressed their opinions on the affairs of official studies, including not only young people with unlimited potential, but also many respected people.

A general manager like Liu Zhixing had to come forward and summoned the representative of scholars to come in the main hall of the general's mansion to speak.

This is also the tradition of scholars.

In Chu State, there are often students from the Imperial College who gather together to express their opinions on the current situation and even do some "rebellious" things.

Inside the house.

Liu Zhixing and Zhang Haiping sat in the north through the coffee table. Three people walked in from outside. One of them was Liu Cheng, a scholar in Jinghai County.

One is Li Yang, a great scholar in the Nanhai Prefecture, and the other is Zhang Min, a great scholar in the Guangchuan Prefecture.

Both of them are in their forties and fifties and are well-read in poetry and books.

The three of them knew Liu Zhixing and Zhang Haiping, but they had been told before they came in. Now they saw that there were only two people in the main hall, so they could guess their identities.

But Liu Zhixing won’t talk about it. Everyone knows that he is Wu Nian’s “Xiao He and Zhuge Liang”. He manages internal affairs, has enough soldiers and food, and has made great contributions.

Zhang Haiping has been the prefect of Yingqing Prefecture for a long time, and his reputation is also good.

The three of them were very polite to both of them and bowed and said, "I have met Lord Liu and Lord Zhang."

"No gifts. Sit." Liu Zhixing nodded slightly, raised his right hand politely, and asked the three of them to sit down.

"Thank you to sit down." The three of them bowed together, and then calmly came to the positions on both sides and sat down.

"I understand what a scholar means. Let me explain it to you." Liu Zhixing's attitude was very low and he looked up and said.

"Thank you, Lord Liu, for taking the time to see us. But forgive us for being rude. We want to meet the general directly." Li Yang raised his head, and although he held his fists, he had a very bad taste in the presence of those who came.

"Yes. We want to meet the general." Liu Cheng was also beside him, clasping his fists.

Liu Zhixing and Zhang Haiping looked at each other and smiled bitterly together.

"Okay. Everyone, wait a moment. I'll go meet the general." Liu Zhixing nodded and stood up, then explained to Zhang Haiping, walked out of the main hall and went to the backyard to meet Wu Nian.

The charcoal stove in the backyard was burning vigorously. Wu Nian asked the maid to make ginger tea and entertain Liu Zhixing.

The two of them drank ginger tea together and talked.

"Knowledge and action. What are the identities of these three people?" Wu Nian asked curiously.

"All of them are innocent and honest scholars."

"After Liu Cheng, the scholar Jinghai, the Mongols and Yuan people swept across Liaodong, they sent someone to lure him out to be an official, but he did not agree. The Mongols and Yuan people asked him to participate in the imperial examination, but he did not go either."

"Li Yang, a native of Ke County, Nanhai Prefecture, never participated in the imperial examination in his entire life, but he was only rich in five cars. He opened a college and trained many scholars. When the government bond was issued, he purchased three thousand taels of registered national debt. He did not

He is not a foreign businessman when doing business. However, he buys registered national debts without interest, which shows his support for the general."

"Zhang Min. He is from Hulin County, Guangchuan Prefecture. He used to be a juren. When the Mongol Yuan invaded, he did not surrender and took his tribesmen up the mountain to refuse to guard."

"There are five children from the Zhang family who came out to be officials. Three of them are civil servants in the army, and two of them work in Guangchuan Prefecture."

"One person is still a county magistrate."

Liu Zhixing knew this well and told Wu Nian in detail.

"All of them are good scholars." After hearing this, Wu Nian nodded slightly, with a very respectful tone. But things are difficult.

If these people have even a little stain, they will be easy to settle. Instead, they will be white and difficult to settle.

After thinking for a while, Wu Nian said to Liu Zhixing: "Okay. I'll meet them."

"Yes." Liu Zhixing responded, put down the ginger tea, turned around and walked out.

"How should I deal with these three scholars?" Wu Nian raised his right hand and gently pinched his chin, feeling a little distressed.

But soon, he had an idea.

These three people are their own.
