Chapter 194 Improper Employment

The deployment of teachers in each battalion did not perform well, at least not meeting Liu Xie's requirements.

The reason is also very simple.

There are only [-] teachers including Yang Xiu.

The professional level is poor, and most people don't know how to teach at all, especially those who have zero foundation and don't even know their own names.

But the impact is surprisingly good.

The later general Yang Dingying received a special gift from the emperor. Not only did Yang Xiu, a close minister of the emperor and the son of the third prince, serve as his military adviser, but he also arranged for [-] doctors to be teachers to teach ordinary soldiers to read and write. Get high.

Although many people can't tell whether these Confucian scholars are doctors or not.

Needless to say Yang Ding himself, he walks with wind, laughs at everyone, and pulls a few nondescript quotations from saints from time to time.

Fortunately, both Duan Yan and Yang Feng have left the main force and acted alone, otherwise they will definitely have opinions.

Ordinary soldiers also felt that they were appreciated by the emperor. Not only did they overwhelm Duan Yanying, a former general who was also from Xiliang, but they also overwhelmed the Northern and Southern Army, and they no longer felt that they were inferior.

The result of this is that besides being energetic in everything, the enthusiasm for learning is high, and there have been a few students who performed particularly well, and they have memorized the courses they have learned.

There are quite a few of them who have a super fast learning speed like the one just now.

Facts have proved that it is not that Xiliang people are born stupid, but that they have few opportunities to study.

If given the opportunity to study, their performance is no worse than that of the Central Plains people.

Not only Yang Xiu was surprised by this result, but Cai Yan also found it inconceivable.

Twenty pedantic scholars can play such a significant role in just half a month.

If there are more people and more time, will these Xiliang soldiers like tigers and wolves really become the sharpest minions of the emperor?
At least it's worth a try.

So in the face of these soldiers' foul language, not only Cai Yan showed enough patience, Situ Zhao Wen and others also became more interested, and felt that it might not be impossible to educate Xiliang people.

Li Shi was unlucky because of this, and was reminded by Zhao Wen every day.In addition to listening to Zhao Wen's lectures, he also had to recite articles every day.

The strange thing is that Mrs. Hu, who has always doted on Li Shi, very much supported Zhao Wen's approach and actively cooperated.

In Liu Xie's view, this may mean that the flowers are not growing, and the willows are planting shade.

Of course there are no worries.

Cai Yan's admiration for him is increasing day by day, and he is habitually exalted, tending to force him to become a saint.

She obviously said it casually, but she said it like a sage's quotations and golden jade words.

this is not good.

"Ling Shi, I'm not a saint, and I don't want to be a saint." Liu Xie thought for a while and added another sentence. "I have too many desires. I will also have the vices that ordinary people have. Wine, sex, wealth, and sex, without exception."

Cai Yan's face was slightly red, and his eyes flickered. "Has Your Majesty ever read the chapter "King Hui of Liang" in Mencius?"

Liu Xie looked at Cai Yan helplessly. "Ling Shi, I may not be able to be a sage inside and a king outside, but you can definitely surpass Mencius. It's just that I don't know what future generations will call you, Cai Zi?"

Cai Yan couldn't help but turn around.

After a while, she turned back and said softly: "I dare not stand shoulder to shoulder with Mencius, but I am more fortunate than Mencius."

Liu Xie pondered for a long time. "Mencius is not unlucky, but untimely."

Cai Yan frowned, hesitated to speak.

"There are conflicts in the world, survival is the most important thing, a rich country and a strong army are the foundation of survival, and it is by no means an optional thing." Liu Xie sighed. "You have to have enough strength to make the enemy dare not act rashly, so that you have the opportunity to speak of benevolence and righteousness. If the enemy strikes you with a knife, you will feel sorry for you. Who will listen to your benevolence and righteousness?"

"His Majesty……"

"Ling Shi, empty talk is useless. If eloquence can succeed, Mencius would have succeeded long ago. Why wait until Dong Zhongshu?"

Cai Yan reluctantly responded with a wry smile.

-

It took the army three days to cross the Dianji Hill and reach Yanchi in the south of Anyi.

Yang Feng received the news and went out of the camp ten miles to pick him up.

"Your Majesty, I have already controlled all the salt ponds."

Yang Feng's eyebrows are dancing, like a local rich man, and he is the kind who has just gotten rich.

It's no wonder that the Baibo army has been in Hedong for so many years, and they have tried to control Yanchi countless times, but they have not been able to do so.

Now, he finally realized this long-cherished wish.

Salt is money, and salt ponds are money ponds.

"Have you ever fought the rebels?"

"No." Yang Feng repeatedly shook his head with a look of disdain. "The minister came quickly, and there was no one to stop him. Several salt soldiers guarding the salt pond did not dare to fight, and ran away when they saw the general's flag. Fan Xian led his troops to come for reinforcements, but he did not dare to fight. I left after a while."

After listening to Yang Feng's narration, Liu Xie was also a little puzzled.

Yanchi is such an important strategic material, how can Wei Gu and Fan Xian give up?
Yang Feng's troops were not many, and all the soldiers and officials added together amounted to more than [-] people.

According to Wang Yi's confession, Wei Gu and Fan Xian had nearly [-] people, even after deducting water, there were at least [-] people. How could they leave without even trying?

"Have you ever raised food?" Liu Xie asked.

This is the most critical question right now.

Li Jue's luggage captured, Liu Biao's contribution, and Zhang Yang's grain backed by others came one after another. Coupled with careful planning, he barely managed to get to Anyi, and waited for the emergency food raised by Yang Feng to have a full meal.

"Yes, there are more than a thousand stones." Yang Feng said triumphantly.

The smile on Liu Xie's face froze before it could unfold.

More than a thousand stones?
Including the [-] men brought by Zhang Yang, he now has a total force of more than [-] troops and more than [-] horses.Even if war horses ate grass, women and children only provided half of the normal quota, and more than [-] people had to eat at least [-] shi of grain every day.

As a result, Yang Feng only had one thousand stone grains, which was enough for a meal, and he thought it was quite a lot.

Looking at Yang Feng's smug smile, Liu Xie suddenly understood.

Yang Feng didn't prepare food for him at all, and he ate the more than a thousand stones himself.

Maybe he was expected to bring some food.

Liu Xie wanted to slap himself twice.

Improper employment, people like Yang Feng who have a serious aura of bandits are not at all the material to be pioneers.

"How far is Anyi from here?"

"More than thirty miles." Yang Feng asked puzzledly, "Your Majesty is going to camp in Anyi?"

"Don't go to Anyi, lick the salt here?" Liu Xie glared at Yang Feng. "Or, after I ate your more than a thousand shi grains, I went hungry together?"

Yang Feng was taken aback. "Your Majesty, are you out of food?"

Liu Xie laughed angrily.

how interestingJust like when I am not short of food.

"Where's Pei Qian?"

"To the iron officer."

"Which family is the closest to here among those who participated in the rebellion?"

"Wei Shi." Said Cai Yan who had been following Liu Xie.Seeing Liu Xie look over, she said again: "The Wei family manages salt and iron, and there is another courtyard nearby. I once stayed here for a while."

"Is there any food?"

"There shouldn't be much food in other courtyards. The mansion outside Anyi City must have it. It's just that the mansion has a fort, so it's not easy to attack."

Liu Xie had a headache. "It's not easy to attack, but you have to attack, or you will really run out of food. Let's go to the Wei family."
