"I just received the news about this, and I haven't informed the lord yet!"
Hearing this, Xue Song shook his head slightly.
It has not yet been decided whether King Xiangyang will take Nanyang, and the final result is unknown.
The most important thing is that my lord has been busy with things in Ruyang these days. Notifying this matter in advance will only make my lord distracted and worried.
However, he has ordered people to plant a lot of spies there, and it will not be too late to report the King of Xiangyang as soon as there is any movement.
"oh!"
Qin Fang nodded slightly, paused, and then said,
"Brother, if Li Feng takes action, why not let our army from the west entrance go to deal with it, just in time for practice!"
"The army at the west entrance? Second brother, you are a bit unkind. How can it be all the army at the west entrance? The Beizhai army under my command also needs to be trained!"
However, as soon as these words came out, Cheng Ruobing immediately glared.
There are currently 39,000 troops in Ruyang. In addition to the 6,000 city guards, there are 10,000 troops at the north entrance, west entrance, and south entrance each.
The commander of the west entrance is Qin Fang, the deputy general is Cen Shen, the commander of the north entrance is Cheng Ruobing, and the deputy general is Luo Kong! The commander of the south entrance is Luo Yun, and the deputy general is Wang Qing.
It's hard to say who is the strongest.
"Don't worry, two brothers, as long as the King of Xiangyang dares to invade Nanyang, all three armies will have a chance!"
Xue Song smiled and waved his hands slightly.
The major forces are far away from Ruyang. Even if only 9,000 troops and horses are left in Ruyang County, safety can be guaranteed. At that time, it is not a bad idea to dispatch all 30,000 cavalry.
"That's good!"
.........
As night fell, Li Mo sat on the main seat. Except for Wang Changling and Master Zeng, who sat on the side seats,
There were two other people in the hall, Gao Wu, the magistrate of Pingyang County, and Zhang Ze, the magistrate of Nanyang County.
In addition to these two people, Wang Wei is also there.
It is said that after Li Mo returned to the county government from Ciyao, he met Wang Wei and exchanged pleasantries.
In the end, it was logical that Wang Wei became a member of Yibo Tower and was about to take up the post of governor of Ruyang. From now on, the internal affairs of Ruyang will be left to Wang Wei to handle.
now,
Gao Wu and Zhang Ze were so overwhelmed by the auras of the people in front of them that they did not dare to take a breath, and their foreheads were already covered with sweat.
It is said that after they were surprised by Ruyang Pass, they didn't realize how big the gap between Pingyang, Nanyang and Ruyang was until they entered Ruyang City.
Although the population of the two counties far exceeds that of Ruyang, Ruyang is actually several times more prosperous than the two counties.
Especially there are so many people in the world of martial arts and businessmen here.
Those big restaurants and bars are never short of customers, and these people spend a lot of money, spending dozens or even hundreds of taels of silver.
How can Pingyang and Nanyang have such spending power?
In fact, let alone these two counties, even the large households in Luoyang and Chang'an may not be as large as those in Ruyang.
In addition to the shock that Ruyang gave them, what was more important were these characters in the lobby.
They really didn't expect that Master Zeng and Dan Qiusheng were also in Ruyang.
Although there are no legends about these two people in the world of martial arts, their reputation and status in the world of scholars is comparable to that of ninth-level warriors in the world of martial arts.
Someone once made a list of the top ten talents who assisted the country in the Tang Dynasty, and Master Zeng and Dan Qiusheng were among them.
When the king of Tang was still alive, all the scribes thought that Master Zeng and Dan Qiusheng would hide in the wild like Wolong in the Three Kingdoms and would no longer serve as officials.
The two clinkers had already taken refuge under Ru Yang.
So, how could the two of them not be surprised?
"I already know your thoughts. Tomorrow you two will return to Pingyang and Nanyang counties."
After a moment, Li Mo spoke.
In fact, Li Mo originally wanted them to stay in Ruyang to work. After all, these two people are not as reliable as the people in Yibo Building and Yuntianzhuang. However, there are only so many talents at hand to handle government affairs, and there is no way to allocate excess talents.
We can only make plans after the founding of the country.
"Yes, my lord!"
Hearing this, Gao Wu and Zhang Ze hurriedly bowed.
In fact, since the two of them saw Ru Yang's current appearance and the people in the hall, they had no other thoughts. At this moment, they only had one idea in their minds: to be county magistrates after returning and follow Ru Yang's footsteps.
"Get down!"
"yes!"
After the two bowed and left, Li Mo looked at Master Zeng and others.
"The matters in Pingyang and Nanyang need to be taken care of by the two gentlemen in the future."
"My lord, I actually have an idea, but I don't know if it's feasible?"
As if he guessed what Li Mo was thinking, after a pause, Master Zeng said.
"Sir, it's okay to say it!"
"My lord, why don't you build a new academy in Ruyang and recruit scholars from all over the world? Then you can select outstanding people to serve as officials to solve the dilemma of having no one at your disposal."
Master Zeng said.
He has been with Li Mo for a long time, so he knows his lord's character.
If someone is in charge, they will never send these two people back again.
"Oh? Build an academy? Tell the literati all over the world?"
Li Mo's mind moved.
This is indeed a good idea, but who will preside over this academy?
Theoretically speaking, those who can preside over the academy must be talented people. Looking at the whole of Ruyang, only Master Zeng and Dan Qiusheng are suitable. However, these two are his right and left arms in handling government affairs. It is impossible to release one of them.
A specially established academy was established.
Although Qinglian layman Li Taibai and poet sage Du Fu are also amazingly talented, they also have their own affairs at the moment.
Since Li Taibai returned to Ruyang, he has secretly begun to train warriors again.
He will train all the warriors who have the potential to lead troops one by one. It can be said that Li Taibai is now in charge of the training of Ruyang's future military commanders.
This is no small matter either.
The poet sage Du Fu also secretly formed a team, mainly training some internal guards to patrol, specifically to listen to the voices of the people in Ruyang.
Not surprisingly, Du Fu will be the future head of the Ruyang Supervisory Yuan.
The mountain man Meng Haoran took on the duty of guarding Ruyang City, and the first nine thousand black armored cavalry had already arrived under his command.
In the future, he will be the leader of the Ruyang Imperial Guard.
As for the Wine God Zhang Xu, he was in charge of Ruyang's brewing, fortifications and other miscellaneous matters. In Li Mo's heart, the Wine God Zhang Xu would be the future Minister of Industry of Ruyang.
in this way,
Who else has the qualifications to be the dean of Ruyang Academy?
Li Zhe, Xing Cai, Zhu Ming and others also have their own responsibilities at the moment, not to mention they don't have the qualifications.
"What you said is absolutely true, it is the dean of this academy..."
After coming back to his senses, Li Mo said.
If there is a suitable dean of the academy, there is still a large area of land in the outer city of Ruyang, which can be used to build an academy.
"My lord, I have a candidate for you!"
"Oh? Do you have someone to choose?"
Li Mo couldn't help but feel happy.
"My lord, this man's name is Wang Zhihuan. He was well-known among the gentry in his early years. He was known as "generous, broad-minded, suave and talented" and was regarded as a role model by many scholars in the world. However, due to disputes in the court, he later lived in seclusion in Shanxi.
Jiangzhou Prefecture. If we can invite this person to Ruyang to take up a position in the academy, we will surely attract scholars from all over the world to apply."
Master Zeng said again immediately.
"What? Wang Zhihuan?"
Li Mo was startled when he heard the name.
When he saw that Master Zeng had chosen someone, he knew that the person Master Zeng mentioned would definitely not be an unknown person, and now it seemed that was indeed the case.
