Chapter Fifty-ninth, Recruiting Soldiers and Running Schools
The next day, in Dong'e, Yanzhou, on a high slope among the muddy ground of the Yellow River.
Thousands of military households and refugees came here today with the permission of Han Hao to listen to the words of Lord Guangfang, Sima Fang of the Yanzhou Department.
Mr. Datong today has a completely different weight in the eyes of the people than Mr. Datong a few decades ago!
The three-piece set of barrel cart, curved shaft plow and synthetic fertilizer has completely won over the hearts of the people.
In the west, the news that Mr. Datong was promoted and defeated Lu Bu's army among the people spread faintly among the people.
Now, when Fang Guang stands on a high slope, not to mention the refugees in Xuzhou and the military households in Qingzhou, they are all very respectful and no one dares to speak casually.
"I have called you all together today to discuss two things. One is that I will select two hundred troops under my command to serve as the backbone of the army and to be led by General Taishi Ci of Xuzhou."
"General Ziyi, who is proficient in archery and thinks he can be the best in the army, please stand under Ziyi's banner! Two hundred people are enough!"
As soon as Fang Guang said this, all the people under the high slope immediately started talking.
"For my lord, Mr. Datong? Not in charge of farming?"
"What do you know? I heard from my eldest brother in the camp, Mr. Datong, I promise to form an army of my own for the Lord!"
"Farming now is much easier and faster than in the past because you don't have to carry water in wooden barrels for miles. Why do you have to die as a soldier?"
"That's right, what kind of martial arts can this lord have? If he really wants to join the army, he will follow Lord Xiahou and Lord Yu Jin!"
The Qingzhou Army came to see the lively military household. During the discussion, they were not optimistic about Fang Guang!
The situation among the refugees in Xuzhou is different. Taishi Ci served as a school captain in Xuzhou. Who among the people here has never heard of the name of Chen Xiaowei?
Although everyone's fields are going smoothly, the success of Mr. Datong's army in the army is definitely unmatched by the fields.
In the blink of an eye, dozens of Xuzhou refugees had already walked out.
There were also those who saw their family members and friends not coming here, and shouted back to say hello.
Fang Guang ignored everyone's comments and nodded with a smile. Within half an hour, two hundred people, almost all of whom were refugees from Xuzhou, had already stood under the banner in front of Tai Shici.
"Since we are under Chen Xiaowei's command, these two hundred infantry are to capture Chen's army. I will follow Ziyi to the county arsenal to get bows, arrows, and leather armor."
"The steps have been decided, now let's talk about running a school. Cangtingjin will set up a school to learn the Guigu lineage and the natural techniques of farming!"
"If you are willing to enter the hall, just hand over ten dendrobiums of corn. If you don't have any now, you can hand over the beans after harvesting. Children over seven years old who are not strong laborers can come to Yuan Zhi and accept fifty students.
Stop when it’s full!”
"What, study? We are all common people. We are not from a scholarly family, but we can still study?"
"Ten dendrobiums of corn are not expensive, but my boy can still help in the fields. If he goes to private school and goes back and forth, he will lose a lot!"
"What's the use of reading and writing articles? If you don't have a family background, you can be a low-ranking civil servant at best, but you won't be as successful as a soldier!"
This time, even the refugees in Xuzhou were not optimistic about Fang Guang's school.
It is deeply ingrained in everyone's mind that if you are not a nobleman, studying is not as good as joining the army.
Fang Guang saw for a long time that only a few older children in brighter clothes came to him hesitantly. There were less than ten people, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
He looked at Zao Zhuan beside him and coughed twice.
Dongjun Ling understood and stood up in a few steps.
"If there are young children in the family who are willing to become students, the East County Fertilizer Workshop will give you five dans of fertilizer. If you are successful in learning and are accepted by the workshop, and your relatives are farming, you will be given 100 dans of fertilizer every year!"
Zao Zhuan said in one sentence that among the refugees in Xuzhou, dozens of children were led and beaten by their parents and rushed straight towards the high platform.
Farmers in Mintun Village are given priority to try out the new fertilizer from the fertilizer factory. The refugees in Xuzhou naturally know how powerful this fertilizer is.
In their view, academic achievements are not counted. The labor of a child and the ten bushels of beans and wheat that are not needed now, how can five loads of fertilizer be valuable?
"Fuck, we can't let those Xuzhou people steal all the fat! Goudan, Goudan, run quickly and kneel down in front of the Lord!"
"My Huzi is the smartest and will definitely be able to join a workshop in the future. We don't understand the teachings of sages and sages. If we learn how to make fertilizer, it will be a cooking skill that can be passed on to our children and grandchildren!"
Many people among the military households in Qingzhou also reacted and drove the children towards Fang Guang.
Within a moment, fifty children were kneeling in front of Fang Guang.
The power of manure far exceeds Fang Guang's imagination.
"What's your name? Oh, buffalo, I see you have a lot of energy in your features. You can definitely learn mathematics well!"
"Three dogs, heirs of Qingzhou military households, well, he was born strong and healthy, so be careful in the future and learn more about smelting!"
Fang Guang did not expect that in the Three Kingdoms world, he could experience the addiction of the principal. He took the bamboo slips in his hand and wrote the names of the children on the bamboo slips.
Xu Shu walked side by side with him, looking at these simple farm children with mixed feelings in his heart.
He had the layout of Jiuzhou and his ambition to slay the dragon in his mind, but he didn't expect that he would respond to these Bai Ding disciples first.
"Okay, you and the fifty of you are the students of my Cangting Academy this year. I hope you will study with Mr. Yuan Zhi. There will be a place for you and others to reach great heights in the world of Kyushu!"
However, a school for the children of migrant workers, Fang Guang, adopted a 985 posture.
When the people along the Yellow River listened to the news from other Sima officials, no one applauded. They just felt that the child's exchange for some fertilizer was not in vain.
Behind Fang Guang, a lieutenant under Han Hao, who came from the Taishan tribe, looked at the scene in front of him and remembered Yu Jin's instructions.
In Cangtingjin, if there is any unusual movement by other commanders, please report it as soon as possible!
The two major events were over. Fang Guang took Tai Shici to the thatched cottage to get his property. A dilapidated temple in Dong'a City had been vacated for Fang Guang's use.
The children's family members registered in the register followed Zao Zhuan to the workshop to pick up the newly made fertilizer.
No one knew that just an hour after Fang Guang left Gaopo, a fast horse flew westward with news from here.
It was the captain arranged by Yu Jin who sent the news from this place to Cao Jun's camp in Juancheng.
Two days later, it was already dark in Cao's camp.
Among Cao Cao's troops, there was Xun Yu, who had the reputation of being the best counselor. Xun Yu, who had just left Cao Cao's place and had a red face after drinking, became serious as soon as he arrived at the tent. The drunkenness on his face dissipated instantly. not see.
Xun You, nephew of Xun Yu's clan, along with Zhong Yao and Sima Fang were all in the tent, as well as a man from the side with a solemn face.
This person has quite a great background, he is Chen Qun, the son of Chen Ji, the great leader of the dynasty!
Chen Qun, an important minister of Cao Wei in history, laid out the nine-level Zhongzheng system and formulated the laws of Wei, and his status was extremely noble!
The Chen family is a member of the Yingchuan gentry family, similar in rank to the Xun family, and is a truly high-ranking family.
Originally, in history, this person should now be the governor of Yuzhou, serving under Liu Bei!
