Chapter 537
In the evening, Li Xia and Han Chengxu were patrolling a pond on Hanzhong Chengbei Street, planning to build a large academy here.

"How about calling it 'Lianchi Academy'?" Han Chengxu pointed to the lotus leaves in the pond.

Li Xia didn't care about these side details. While pointing out the terrain, he proposed his ideas while planning the layout.

"Beside this pond, a few acres of fields have been opened for the teaching of agriculture. The method of 'grafting fruit, trees and crops' I mentioned earlier needs to be tried by more people. I have to delve into it... In this way, a place will be opened here for teaching medicine...

"To sum up, our academy should not only teach scholars who are looking for an official position, or that seeking an official position should not only know articles. Today's literati in the Song Dynasty are not pedantic, they know a lot, but they are too comprehensive. Yes. If the resources for culture and education are limited, they can be divided into different categories..."

At this point, Liu Jinsuo galloped over there.

"Marshal, people have sent them over!"

Li Xia nodded and asked, "How many people are here today?"

"Thirty-seven of them are young officials and Jinshi." Liu Jinsuo said, "All of them are squeamish, and they are not as good as my Liu Niang after walking two miles away crying for their father and mother."

"Give me the list."

"Here...they are clamoring to go to the administrative department to take a post, and they also say they want to see the commander-in-chief. The quarrel is a headache."

Li Xia had read the list, and asked Liu Jinsuo to bring the official files from these places to the camp to be disposed of by these officials.

Now is the occasion of employing people, there is no reason to support idlers.

"You can't treat them harshly, just say that I will see them after all the officials are here."

"How can the general treat them harshly?" Liu Jinsuo was delighted, "Since you are going to the battlefield, you have to take it out and practice hard, sweat more in normal times, and bleed less in wartime..."

Before the words were finished, another person ran over and said, "Commander, the new transfer envoy has arrived."

Li Xia nodded and looked at Han Chengxu.

Han Chengxu said: "Since Shigong has arrived, Alang should go to greet him in person..."

~~
In recent years, many Mongolians have known Li Xia's name, and in replaying the past few battles, Li Xia was also blamed for Wu Liang Hetai's death.

But speaking of it, Li Xia just picked up someone's head.

In the battle of Mahujiang, the real hero was Shi Jun.

After Zhang Shi's defeat, no one thought that Shi Jun dared to lead only 3000 people out of the city to attack Wulianghetai's army at the tail...and win.

Incredible?

Of course it's unbelievable, even Shi Jun himself didn't expect to win.

He was just ready to die.

After the big victory, Shi Jun didn't immediately order to pursue Wu Liang Hetai, because he didn't have any chance of winning, and he planned to wipe out [-] enemies.

And Wu Liang Hetai was also completely stunned, the arrogant soldiers were defeated, and the morale of the army was in turmoil.

So Li Xia took advantage of the madness of "I saved my life anyway" to bite Wu Liang Hetai who was like a bereaved dog.

Tracing back to the root cause, this lost dog was beaten out by Shi Jun.

……

Li Xia also knew that the wars in Sichuan and Sichuan had been difficult these years.

It was Shi Jun, Pu Zezhi, Wang Jian, Zhang Jue... even Zhang Shi, Yang Li, Duan Yuanjian, Wang Zuo, etc., who he had never met before, were struggling to support him.

He, Li Xia, was never a big deal, he just followed behind these people, learning and assisting.

Finally, after they were exhausted, he extended the victory a little bit.

Then, relying on the treacherous party and the noble concubine, he added the title of Shu Shuai to his head.

Li Xia is not guilty, because he still has to continue to work.

But he knew after all that the people who resisted the invincible Mongolian army and created this miracle were not himself from the beginning to the end.

Li Xia always has a respect for these people.

Including Shi Jun...

~~
Shi Jun stood on the bow of the boat with his hands behind his back, looking at Hanzhong City ahead with complicated expressions in his eyes.

It's not his first time here.

Nine years ago, he went north with Yu Jie and almost regained Hanzhong...

"Dong Weng, it seems that Li Jieshuai came out of the city to meet you in person."

Staff Li Tonghe reminded, interrupting Shi Jun's emotion.

Shi Jun squinted his eyes and looked at Wangjiangmen, and he saw Li Xia's guard of honor.

There was no fanfare, it was nothing more than a line of flags, gongs, cards, pumpkins, and moon axes to show the presence of Shu Shuai.

"Dong Weng." Li Tonghe whispered again: "Do you still remember the time when you first met Li Jieshuai?"

"How could I forget?" Shi Jun sighed.

To be honest, since he became an official, he has met many subordinates, and Li Xia is the one that impresses people the most.

Outstanding appearance, young age, treacherous partisans...

Li Tonghe looked worried, and said: "At that time, Li Jieshuai was the first captain of Qingfu County, and he went to Xuzhou to meet Dong Weng, but Dong Weng didn't give him a good look. After that, Dong Weng defeated Wuliang and joined forces. Obeying military orders, chasing the enemy without authorization, Dong Weng even impeached him..."

At this point, Li Tonghe's voice gradually lowered.

"Times have changed, but he has become a servant instead. Cheng Xianggong has resigned as Prime Minister, and Dong Weng has no one to rely on in the court. I'm afraid he won't be able to offend Li Jieshuai."

Shi Jun said: "What does Yi Zhai want to say?"

"For a while, please let Dong Weng put down some airs..."

Shi Jun put his hands behind his back and said nothing, watching the river boat gradually approaching the shore.

This situation makes me feel embarrassed...

~~
Han Chengxu stood behind Li Xia.

Seeing Shi Jun's river boat approaching, he thought of a small matter.

When I met Shi Jun with Li Xia, he once reminded me that "A Lang's posture is a bit high in front of Zhizhou".

Thinking about it now, was Li Xia's posture really high at that time?
It's nothing more than unwillingness to flatter.

In fact, Shi Jun is a loyal and upright person, so why does he care whether Li Xia is flattering or not?

In the past three years, Li Xia has always focused on business from a county lieutenant to Ren Shuai.

Official flattery is useful to others, but does Li Xia really need it?

This attitude of doing things, after all, slowly emerges over time...

At this time, Han Chengxu looked sideways, and saw that Li Xia's posture was still straight, and his face was still neither humble nor overbearing.

When he was a county lieutenant, he didn't bow down to the magistrate of Xuzhou, and now he is the commander of Shu, he would not be arrogant and rude to the transfer envoy.

……

"A direct scholar of Weiyou Pavilion, a transfer envoy of Lizhou East Road, and a horse buyer from Shanxi and other roads, Shi Jun, met Jieshuai."

"Shi Zhuanyun is so polite." Li Xia hurriedly stepped forward to help Shi Jun, and said: "The Caosi yamen has been cleaned up, and we only need Shi Zhuanyun to sit in charge, please."

"Please be handsome."

Both of them didn't care much about the red tape, and didn't mention much about the past, and walked straight into the city.

"I've been in Lin'an for a long time, and my muscles and bones are loose. I don't know if the commander-in-chief can trust me with political affairs?"

"Nowadays Hanzhong is full of wastes waiting to be rejuvenated. I hope that Shi's transfer envoy will last for a long time." Li Xia said: "Many affairs need to be handled by Shi's transfer envoy. Although the two taxes have been exempted for three years, merchants are blocked..."

Shi Jun felt that Li Xia had absolutely no intention of embarrassing him, so he finally relaxed.

The two did not chat, they talked about official business all the way.

Neither of them intends to enhance their friendship, but they have a tacit understanding of planning to work together to govern Hanzhong.

When he arrived at Caosi, Shi Jun finally discovered something.

"Jieshuai, this time the imperial court has transferred more than five hundred people to Shu, and I wasted a few days looking for aides. No official has arrived yet?"

Li Xia said: "I am going to discuss this matter with Shi Zhuanyun... In two days, I plan to take this group of young officials to Dasan Pass."

"Big Sanguan?"

Li Xia said: "If you have never met a Mongolian, how can you be a good official in Sichuan and Shu?"

Shi Jun was dumbfounded, thought for a moment, and then nodded.

"Alright."

Li Xia smiled and said: "So, Hanzhong also invites the transfer envoy to sit in charge."

Of course, he didn't plan to take Shi Jun to practice. This was the first civil servant he had seen defeating the Mongolian army in his life.

I only hope that those civil servants from the south of the Yangtze River can grow into one after another as soon as possible...

~~
To the west of the city, the Zhenxi Army Barracks.

"We want to see Li Jieshuai! We want to see Shi Junyun!"

"You are detaining the officials of the imperial court privately, are you trying to rebel?!"

"..."

Waking up in the morning, Lu Xiufu could hear someone shouting.

He didn't shout along with him, but just took out the medicine prescribed by Doctor Jun, lit a fire and boiled it.

His wife and attendants were placed elsewhere, and he could only do these things by himself. For a long time, the fire could not be lit.

"Brother Junshi, let me come." Seeing Zan Wanshou, he hurried over to help.

"Thank you."

Lu Xiufu then sat down and picked up the official documents on the case to review, looking extremely focused.

Zan Wanshou is a county lieutenant, and he doesn't have so many official duties. He sat aside and asked, "Brother Junshi, why doesn't he let them make trouble? Many people say that Li Jieshuai treated us harshly on purpose."

"In the war-torn area of ​​Hanzhong, the Mongolian army has just retreated, so it may not be peaceful. Li Jieshuai protects us in the camp first, which is also a safe strategy."

There was no blood on Lu Xiufu's lips, but he spoke in an orderly manner, and said: "Besides, we have already started to deal with county affairs, so what's the problem?"

Zan Wanshou smiled and said, "Brother Junshi is really diligent."

After these few words, the shouting colleagues outside had no strength, and their voices disappeared.

After that, Hu Sansheng, Huang Rong, and Huang Zhen walked in quickly.

"Junshi, Yang Qixin is here too." Hu Sanxing said, with a smile on his face, he asked: "Do you want to meet this Tanhualang who overwhelmed you with his articles?"

Lu Xiufu was still sitting upright, and asked: "Brother Yang, how many people are you with?"

"More than 40."

Lu Xiufu thought for a while and said, "400 people have arrived in Hanzhong. It seems that Li Jieshuai is coming to see us."

……

Sure enough, as he said, after a while, there were soldiers shouting outside the camp.

"By order of the commander-in-chief! It is said that officials from various prefectures and counties in Hanzhong will go to the school to have an audience..."
