A year ago, a group of stupid little guys led countless victims to create a miracle. The houses they built were neat and warm, the streets were wide and flat, and the city walls were solid and heavy... From nothing to something, these houses protected 200,000 people. In the past disaster relief in the Song Dynasty, even if they tried their best, they would have to lose 200,000 yuan. A major disaster of hundreds of thousands of people could save half of the population, and the people would build ancestral halls to sacrifice and disaster relief officials.

The million victims lost less than 100,000, but they were still under the invasion of the Liao invaders.

Even after a long time, students of the Six Arts still feel extremely proud and excited when they mention it. There are so many academies in the world, but they can only cultivate corrupt scholars and sour people. Only the Six Arts, the unity of knowledge and action, can give students unprecedented experience.

These young men with passionate minds forgot what difficulties mean, and did not notice Wang Ning'an's smirk at all. Everyone just signed up wildly, rushing for precious opportunities, fearing that they would fall behind.

In this way, in less than a day, Wang Ning'an had more than 300 more people. Although his staff was still a little weak, he could already operate.

The first question Wang Ning'an gave to everyone is what Pingxian urgently needs.

Someone quickly gave the answer, such as educating the people, raising the court to judge cases, upholding justice, such as persuading farming and sericulture, building land temples, city god temples, soothing people's hearts, and recruiting yamen runners... There are all kinds of answers, and Wang Ning'an laughed at everyone's conclusions and did not comment.

Only then did the students realize that the old birds such as Han Zongwu, Su Shi, Su Zhe, Zeng Bu, Lu Huiqing, etc., who participated in the last practice had long disappeared without a trace.

What a joke, practice is not about sitting around. If you don’t walk around the city, don’t look at the real situation of the people, speak vernacular here and think about it. Isn’t it a waste of time!

Even the lazy Su Shi was not willing to fall behind. He wandered around the city, asked the people, went to various shops, observed the transaction situation, went to teahouses and restaurants, and listened to the topics that the people were most concerned about... Wang Ning'an told them that vitality exists among the people. If you just look at the boring numbers, it might make people crazy. If you walk among the people, you will have different insights.

For example, the master of the "China Collapse Theory" in later generations changed the soup almost every year. With the same routine, you can earn a lot of royalties as long as you push it a little later. In contrast, the author of a certain point has to make a lot of money, rack his brains, and innovate. If you can't keep up, you will be cruelly abandoned... Being an economist is obviously much easier than a writer, and it's all about tears when you say it.

In fact, whether it is a collapse or not, just walk around the market and look at the bustling aunties, who are still stuffing the baskets with various vegetables and meat, you will know that the so-called collapse is nonsense...

Similarly, the students who have been walking around Ping County have gradually become aware of it. First, they need to analyze the situation in Ping County. The so-called dialectical treatment requires looking at what advantages and disadvantages are.

Su Che, who has always been unspeakable, spoke first. He was much shy than his brother, with a red face, but his thoughts were clear and his voice was very good.

"Pingxian is not a county at all. When the city was built last year, it was just a resettlement area for disaster victims, so the gentleman said that the slums were right! The people in the city were simply assigned to various markets according to their original villages. There were no yamen, no servants, no public people, and nothing. In the past, the governance was relied on the people themselves, and the officials in the court were responsible for disaster relief. If something happened, they would be solved by military law! If last year, we were facing the victims who had nothing, this year we were facing Pingxian, which was also blank! We need to give this county order!"

After Su Che finished speaking, Wang Ning'an's eyes lit up and he raised his thumb. Su Che's face turned red and he seemed very excited.

"Ziyou is right. Then everyone talks about how to give order and where to start."

This time, Zeng Bu got an opportunity, "Jiu said just now that Pingxian is blank. If the officers and soldiers and disaster relief officials withdraw, the city will inevitably fall into chaos, so order must be given to the city. But I found that Pingxian has unlimited potential. Compared with other cities, Pingxian has a large population and a prosperous industry. Just a whaling can feed more than 100,000 people, and the rest must make wine and sugar, and also have to start a discussion. It can be said that Pingxian has very strong financial resources, and temporary chaos is not a problem. I think that a tax system should be established immediately. As long as the money is collected, everything will be easy."

He is worthy of being the Sansi envoy under the "Absolute Duke" Wang Anshi and the leader of financial reform. Zeng Bu is young and has focused on money.

Some freshmen are not used to keeping their mouths full of money, thinking that taxation is to exploit the people, and they do not agree with Zeng Bu's idea. However, the old students all agree that everything is gone without money, so how can you do it without money!

But just making money is not enough, there are more important things!

Su Shi and Han Zongwu looked at each other and understood them all. Han Zongwu smiled and said, "Junior Brother Su, if you have any ideas, please tell me quickly, don't hide it."

Su Shi was rarely modest, "If I said something badly, please ask Senior Brother Han to correct me... I think the most urgent task is to recruit people and protect Pingxian. Don't forget that if you cross the Baigou River less than 200 miles away, you will be the cavalry of the Liao Kingdom. We live in the shadow of the Liao army. If it is winter, the Baigou River will freeze again, and when the Liao army goes south, we will not have the ability to protect ourselves. No matter how much wealth you have, it will only become the trophy of the Liao Kingdom!"

At this time, a freshman suddenly stood up, "I, I don't believe that the Liao Kingdom has signed an alliance with the Song Dynasty, but Mr. Wang personally participated. How could the Liao Kingdom betray the alliance and go south again? Is the alliance that Mr. Wang talked about wasted in vain?"

Han Zongwu glanced at this junior. It was really rare. There was such a naive child in Liuyi Academy, and I don’t know if it was a relief or shame.

"The wolf ambition of Liao Kingdom was also signed by the Chanyuan Alliance decades ago. The Liao Kingdom was still invading every year. It was a whimful idea to limit hundreds of thousands of cavalry when it was counting on a covenant!"

"What's the point?" Xinsheng said unconvinced.

"By relying on strength! Although the Song Dynasty was not good in the past, the Liao Kingdom did not dare to go south in large numbers, so it was just plundering the border. However, according to the Qingzhou Alliance, the walls of Pingxian County must not be higher than two meters high, and the moat and the city gates were strictly restricted. If the military preparations were not strengthened, they would only be allowed to be fish and meat in the Liao Kingdom. Do this junior agree?"

Xinsheng's face was solemn, he kept gritting his teeth and shook his head hard, "No, no, as my senior brother said, why are you still signing an alliance? Just consolidate the army and martial arts, and forget about not having sex with the Liao Kingdom! They are so sinister, why do you still have to trade?"

This freshman is about twenty years old, a few years older than Han Zongwu and Su Shi. But after his arguments, he doesn't feel mature at all. On the contrary, he feels very naive.

Wang Ning'an didn't want the students to fight any further, so he had to speak: "Of course the covenant has some effect. When the strength is similar, there will be more restrictions. As the saying goes, is it justified? If all hope is placed on the covenant, it would be a big mistake. I want to tell everyone that the so-called covenant is born to tear it out! If the Liao Kingdom does not tear it out, we must tear it out at the right time. Our goal is Yanyun, to destroy the Liao Kingdom, and to revive the Song Dynasty... For this goal, we can do whatever we can!"

Wang Ning'an's words won cheers from almost everyone. Many passionate students heard about the recovery of Yan Yun and were full of passionate blood.

According to Han Zongwu and Su Shi's suggestion, everyone went back and discussed a way to recruit soldiers. It will be implemented immediately tomorrow and everyone dispersed.

Only the freshman was still sitting there, holding his head, changing his face and changing color, and Wang Ning'an's words kept echoing in his ears. The Covenant was born to tear it down!

What a crazy statement, is there any honesty and morality?

A gentleman is cautious in his own self. Since he has signed a contract, he cannot have evil thoughts. The barbarians of Liao Kingdom do not follow etiquette and morality. As a country of etiquette, Confucius and Mencius disciples should educate barbarians and let them get rid of bad habits. How can they learn like barbarians? Then why do you still have to study? What path to sages?

I came from Luoyang hard, but I admired the reputation of Liuyi. I knew that there were many great scholars from the times gathered here. But I never expected that the teachers of Liuyi would be so arrogant and betray the sages. But there was a large group of students following and responding. It turned out that right and wrong were inverted, and people's hearts were not old...

"Cheng Hao, Cheng Hao, my cousin said that he should establish his mind for the heaven and earth, establish his destiny for the living and the people, inherit his unique knowledge for the past saints, and bring peace to the ages... Such treacherous and slanderous sayings like the Six Arts School cannot be left in the world. I must defeat them!"

Cheng Hao ignited a huge fighting spirit and vowed to compete with Liuyi.

This person was thinking hard and the other students of the Six Arts were actively thinking about recruiting soldiers. Early the next day, Su Shi and the others posted the recruitment notice.

Until noon, there were only a few people, with less than a hundred people, and they looked crooked and wearing hats, loose and idle, and not a good person.

When a few people meet, why are the people unwilling to join the army?

Su Zhe explained the reason, "A good man does not serve as a soldier, and a good iron does not make nails. As long as he joins the army, he will tattoo his face and will never be washed away in his life. If he weren't desperate, who would have done it?"

"Then, no one joins the army, who will protect Pingxian?" Zeng Bu said in a difficult situation.

Han Zongwu thought for a long time, then suddenly gritted his teeth and said, "Then I won't tattoo it!"

"If you don't have a tattoo, how can you distinguish identities?" Su Che said inexplicably.

Everyone was silent for a while, and suddenly Su Shi patted his brothers on the shoulder and smiled proudly, "What's the difficulty? Officials have waist-branded fish bags, so let's give soldiers waist-branded cards too."

Su Che hesitated and said, "Brother, can it work?"

"Can you please ask Mr. Wang and let him make an idea!" After saying that, Su Shi ran away, and other students rushed to find Wang Ning'an. History has turned into dust and said that it is so ashamed, it's too late again... The next chapter will definitely be posted on time!
