After being exiled, I led my whole family to rebel.

Xu Zhenying was silent.

The room was deathly quiet, and one could even hear the north wind whistling by outside. The candle in front of the table even sensed the uneasiness in the room, and it jumped a few times in haste.

"With your capital, why don't you go it alone? Nearly [-] taels of silver is enough for you to conquer the city."

Jiang Yongkang was speechless for a moment. He didn't know how to answer this question, let alone whether Xu Zhenying took the opportunity to test him.

Xu Zhenying seemed to see through his mind and said with a smile: "Don't be nervous. I don't like to test people's hearts. I'm just curious. You are talented in literature and martial arts, and you have so much money, why did you choose him? I?"

Jiang Yongkang was silent for a long time, and finally said slowly: "City Lord, you and I are two completely different people. I rebelled because of hatred. I hate this world, I hate the Zhou Dynasty, and I hate the Zhou family father and son. And you Rebellion, but because of love.”

Xu Zhenying got goosebumps when he heard this.

Isn't this...too disgusting?
  "Don't say it so disgustingly, I have selfish desires and I'm not a saint."

"I know." Jiang Yongkang smiled slightly, his anger receded a lot, and his eyes became inexplicably soft, "I know you want to say that you like to take your destiny into your own hands. But I can see that you are very philanthropic. Love this world, you love this world, you cannot bear to see the turmoil in the world, you cannot bear to see the world being displaced, you want to save everyone in the world, you want everyone to live the life in the world you imagined. Yours There is great love in my heart——”

Xu Zhenying was stunned.

"And I am just a maggot in the ditch. I just want to destroy this world. If it weren't for you, I would have been heartbroken. I don't want to be an emperor, I just want to be a knife that can cut off all the injustices in the world. The sharp knife of things!"

Jiang Yongkang stared at Xu Zhenying with bright eyes. His eyes suddenly shone brightly, as if they were shining brighter than diamonds. "City Lord, you not only have great love, but you also have the intelligence, means and determination to control the world. I have a strong desire Intuition, you will definitely be the one to change history!”

Xu Zhenying's heart was filled with excitement.

She never thought that she would meet someone in this other world who understood her so well and had such high hopes for her!

"History will never be changed by me alone, but by me, you, and them! Jiang Yongkang, if you don't abandon me, I will never abandon you. From today on, we are comrades."

"Comrade?"

"With the same virtue, we have the same heart; if we have the same mind, we have the same mind."

"What ambition, what way?"

Xu Zhenying's words were deafening, like a baby bird emitting its first cry in the night sky.

"Strive for the happiness of all mankind throughout your life!"

----------------------

Xu Zhenying spent the first year of his time in the Zhou Dynasty in Lan County.

This year was also a troubled year for the Xu family.

The Xu family now lives in the county government. Early in the morning, Mrs. Huang ordered everyone to clean the inside and outside. She also took a group of small children to buy red paper, red silk, etc. to decorate the house. Ichiban. Xu Deyuan was asked to write a few Spring Festival couplets and hang them at the entrance of the county government office, and everyone was filled with joy.

Xu Zhenying was particularly merciful and released Lao Liao and others, allowing them to join the literacy class in the spring and go to open up wasteland.

Originally, the Xu family was worried that Lao Liao would come out to cause trouble, but Xu Zhenying said that there are still a few people in Lan County who know Lao Liao. How can such a person cause any trouble?
  So the Xu family agreed.

Xu Zhenying was extra gracious this time and allowed Sun Qingchen to go to the inn to reunite with his family on New Year's Eve, which really shocked Sun Qingchen.

To be honest, Sun Qingchen has been following Xu Zhenying for a long time, and he is familiar with Xu Zhenying's temper.

Xu Zhenying is indeed a talented person.

How many of the county magistrates who have ruined the city can live as nourishingly as Sun Qingchen? Especially in Ye County next door, it is said that the county magistrate was stabbed in more than a dozen holes by Li Datou, which was where his head was missing.

And he, Sun Qingchen, not only eats and drinks well every day, but also does not have the freedom to put him under house arrest. He just has to follow Xu Zhenying all the time.

At first, he thought Xu Zhenying was not familiar with government affairs, and kept him because he wanted to give him more guidance. Unexpectedly, after more than a month, Sun Qingchen finally understood it.

Xu Zhenying is as familiar with government affairs as if he has been doing it for decades!

From city defense and security, to encouraging people to resume production, to developing some kind of standardized breeding industry, to dividing fields in spring, and even forcing women to join the army, this series of operations is incredible.

If it were an ordinary person, it would take at least four or five years to straighten things out.

The grass-roots team under Xu Zhenying managed to run this large stall in Lan County efficiently.

Looking at Lan County today, the people are well fed, clothed and full of energy. Now they are as close as one family to Xu Zhenying and others. Even now, there are countless people sending things to the county government gate.

One or two eggs, a handful of vegetables, an old hen, one or two pairs of insoles, all kinds of things. The soldiers at the gate kept trying to stop this phenomenon, but it only got worse. It was only after Xu Zhenying made a speech that everything was distributed to the poorer people in the city that it finally came to an end.

But Sun Qingchen also had a strong sense of crisis.

It has only been more than a month, but Xu Zhenying's prestige has far surpassed that of Sun Qingchen.

I think that Sun Qingchen has been working hard in Lan County for so many years. He thinks he is a good official who loves the people like a son, and the people are sincere to him. But now, the people may have forgotten that Xu Zhenying and others are just a bunch of bandits!
  After more than a month of contact, it can be said in all fairness that Xu Zhenying is really a great talent. Looking at her daily behavior, you can tell that she is a woman!

Precisely because she was a female, Sun Qingchen despised her at first, but in just one month, he saw all the great changes in Lan County, especially Xu Zhenying's series of actions after the beginning of spring.

——Refugees divide their fields.

——Education for all.

Others may not be able to notice it, but Sun Qingchen is a human being, so he naturally knows what these two measures mean.

The division of land among the refugees means that this group of refugees will definitely be devoted to Xu Zhenying in the future. It's more likely that they will no longer listen to the court, but instead listen to her Xu Zhenying's family.

Education for all means that Xu Zhenying will spread her anti-natural things such as pinyin, arithmetic, physics, chemistry, common sense and so on. At that time, these fifteen thousand people will become Xu Zhenying's followers and be used by her alone. !
  Sun Qingchen felt chills on his back just thinking about this!

If he hadn't confirmed that Xu Zhenying was a woman, he might have been worried that Xu Zhenying had the intention to rebel!
  Xu Zhenying is more terrifying than those bandits in the north! If we don't get rid of her before she develops and grows, there will be endless troubles in the future!

No, we must warn the prefect and ask Jinzhou to send troops for support!
  Sun Qingchen went to the inn with such an uneasy mood. He had not seen his wife and children for more than a month, so he was worried about him. He quickly went upstairs and saw two soldiers guarding the door. Sun Qingchen was furious, but He didn't dare to make any mistakes, he just pushed the door hard and entered.

Then he closed the door with a "snap".

"Husband?"

"Daddy!"

Several voices sounded in the room at the same time.

Sun Qingchen has a son and a daughter. The eldest is a girl who is just over nine years old now. The second is a boy who is six years old now, which is the age of a tiger with a tiger head. Sitting on the bed was his wife, Mrs. Sun, who was nearly sixty years old.

The family hadn't seen each other for a long time, so naturally they were overjoyed and hugged each other, talking to each other.

Sun Qingchen cried and cursed: "Xu Zhenying, the man who killed a thousand swords, has put my mother under house arrest in this inn. The child is unfilial and has made her mother suffer such shame and humiliation at such an old age. Mother, you have suffered..."

Mrs. Sun wiped away his tears and said apologetically: "Son, don't say that, the mountain king is very kind to us. His grandmother often brings the elderly women in the city to see me and says What kind of activity is it to express condolences to the lonely elderly? I am not afraid of your jokes. Your mother and I are much happier than when we lived in the backyard! By the way, since you are now on duty in front of the king of the mountain, please help us ask, what is the health of women and children? When will the Promotion Association be established? If Your Majesty doesn’t mind, my wife would also like to participate..."

Sun Qingchen was stunned when he heard this.

His wife Gu Yunxia coughed and quickly helped her mother-in-law, "Mother-in-law, my husband just came back, what are you talking about?"

Seeing his wife's evasive look, Sun Qingchen felt uneasy. From the corner of his eye, he saw books and rice paper on the tables of the two children. He strode over and saw that the two children were learning Pinyin!

Sun Qingchen's face turned pale, and he almost immediately opened the pile of papers on the table, and then he immediately understood——

The two children are clearly learning the knowledge from Xu Zhenying's National Education, and their learning progress is almost the same as that of the refugees!
  Okay, it’s hard to guard against house thieves if you guard against them day and night!

Xu Zhenying actually infiltrated into his home!
  Sun Qingchen's face was very ugly, and he suppressed his anger. His eldest daughter Sun Chaolu immediately came over and said somewhat flatteringly: "Dad, look, after using the pinyin taught by Teacher Xu, my brother can already read the book "Spring and Autumn". !”

The eldest daughter seemed to be afraid that her father would be angry, so she quickly opened the book on the table and pulled six-year-old Sun Wen. When Sun Wen saw her sister's encouraging eyes, she immediately started to read the pinyin on it.

"In the fifth month of summer, the Ju people came to Xiang. The commander Wuhai entered the extreme. In autumn, August, Gengchen, the Duke and Rong allied themselves with the Tang Dynasty. In September, Ji split and the girl came to rebel against her. In winter, in October, Bo Ji returned to Ji. Ji Zibo and Juzi formed an alliance in Mi. In the twelfth month of the twelfth month, in Yimao, Mrs. Zishi passed away. The people of Zheng attacked the Wei."

Even though Sun Wen is only six years old, he is just at the age of enlightenment. It is the time when he has just started to learn the Thousand-Character Essay on Hundreds of Family Surnames. But right now, Sun Wen is not stumbling at all, but rather fluently...

Sun Qingchen immediately took the book and saw that each word was marked with some ghost-drawn peach symbols in charcoal. He knew this thing. Xu Zhenying and the others called it Pinyin, saying that as long as they learned these sixty or seventy pictures, they would be able to recognize all the characters.

Sun Qingchen naturally disagreed before. If studying was so easy, why would he have to live in poverty for ten years?
  But the six-year-old Sun Wen, according to the spelling rules above, actually pronounced it word for word.

Only then did Sun Qingchen realize the seriousness of the problem. He had calmed down now, but felt a chill on his back. He couldn't help but pick up the book and observe it carefully, not missing every symbol. He also didn't forget to ask his eldest daughter: "Zhaoxia, tell dad, how do you pronounce this pinyin?"

The eldest daughter immediately became her father's teacher. She pointed to the words in the book and said, "Father, this b is the initial consonant, read "bo". This ao is the final rhyme, read "aao". Together they are b-ao, "bo".

Sun Zhaoxia explained to her father the spelling methods of a few words. Sun Qingchen was indeed a person who had passed the Jinshi examination, and he was naturally proficient in everything. According to Xu Zhenying's method, he really only needs to master these notes to pronounce them accurately.

I have to admit that this method can indeed help beginners memorize quickly.

At the same time, for those who have no basic knowledge, as long as you learn Pinyin, you can also write!
  If such a simple method of literacy is really promoted throughout the county as Xu Zhenying said, then who can't read and write, from [-]-year-old women to four- and five-year-old children? If you don’t know how to write, just use Pinyin. With just these letters, you can express yourself in writing!

Thinking of this, Sun Qingchen's heart felt like falling into an ice cave!
  He thought of something deeper!

What would it be like if everyone could read?
  Because of the proliferation of knowledge, the people will no longer be ignorant. Once they learn pinyin, they can slowly learn Chinese characters. After learning Chinese characters, they can slowly read and understand reason. The Great Zhou Dynasty will no longer respect scholars, and the status of the gentry will no longer be As usual, if the people are not stupid, how can the court still rule?

Sun Qingchen seemed to have seen a corner of the world collapse.

Xu Zhenying...what exactly does she want to do? !

The eldest daughter saw her father lost in thought and could only lower her head: "Father, what did my daughter do wrong?"

Afraid that Sun Qingchen would blame her children, Gu Yunxia quickly took the blame on herself, "Husband, it's all my fault. Although the king grounded us, he sent people to greet us every day. Not only that, he also told us about you every day. His current situation made us feel at ease. After going back and forth, I relaxed my vigilance. When he said that he would find a teacher to teach him how to read, I... did not refuse. "

Sun Qingchen softened his expression and helped Gu Yunxia up, "How can I blame you, madam? That king is indeed different from other grass bandits. Other grass bandits burn, kill, loot and torture, but he..."

Sun Qingchen wanted to say that he would kill someone with a blunt knife, but looking at the earnest eyes of the people in the room, he was afraid of scaring their women, so he didn't say anything.

He also saw his daughter Sun Chaolu next to him with a scared look on his face. He didn't know what mistake he had made to displease his father. Sun Qingchen looked distressed. He patted Sun Chaolu's head with a fatherly smile and spoke softly. Asked: "Chaolu, tell me, besides teaching Pinyin, what else did your teacher Xu teach you?"

Sun Chaolu immediately took out the paper and pen as if offering a treasure, and he didn't know where he got the charcoal pen. Sun Qingchen was very familiar with this charcoal pen. He followed Xu Zhenying, and Xu Zhenying didn't deliberately avoid him. It can be said that he It can be said that he knows everything about Xu Zhenying, so he naturally knows this charcoal pen.

Xu Zhenying also said that in the spring, craftsmen will be hired to modify charcoal pens so that children can practice calligraphy better.

For him, this is naturally regressive.

"Dad, Teacher Xu taught me and my brother how to calculate area." Sun Chaolu didn't hide her clumsiness at all and thought her father was sincere in asking the question. The little girl was naturally very happy and wished she could pour out all the things Xu Yinxi taught her. He spat out the beans, "Look, Dad, for this right triangle, Teacher Xu said that using the theorem of hooking three strands, four strings and five, you can quickly calculate its length and height. For this triangle, after using the auxiliary lines to mark the height, directly below The area can be calculated by multiplying the length of this line by the length of the height. Teacher Xu also said that this calculation method can be used to allocate fields after the beginning of spring, so as to ensure that each household is allocated the same area of ​​fields! "

After hearing this, Sun Qingchen realized the seriousness of the matter. He looked over Sun Chaolu's notes over and over again, and at the same time kept asking about his daughter.

Sun Chaolu was very proud to explain to her father how to calculate the area of ​​various figures, as well as the arithmetic problem of a chicken and a rabbit in the same cage.

"Dad, Dad, Teacher Xu said that the problem of chickens and rabbits in the same cage is very simple! For example, there are pheasants and rabbits in the same cage today. There are thirty-five heads on the top and ninety-four legs on the bottom. What are the geometry of the pheasants and rabbits? As long as the first Place thirty-five heads in one row, and ninety-four feet in the second row. Divide the number of feet by two, use the number of heads to halve the number of feet, and subtract the number of heads from the remaining number. In this way, the remaining number in the first row It’s the chicken number, and the rest of the second line is the rabbit number.”

Naturally, Sun Qingchen refused to believe it. He hurriedly took the charcoal pencil and wrote and drew on the paper. It took him a long time to calculate the same answer as his daughter.

However, a pair of children were still clapping nearby, "Daddy, you are too slow!"

Following Sun Chaolu's cheerful voice, Sun Qingchen looked panicked.

Because he suddenly realized that the physics, chemistry, and common sense that Xu Zhenying vigorously promoted did not seem to be groundless or heretical, but a brand-new discipline that was simpler, easier to promote, and easier for people to understand and apply. !

At this moment, Sun Qingchen's fear of Xu Zhenying soared to the extreme!

What does this woman want to do?
  Where did she get this knowledge?
  Is she cultivating her own followers, or does she want to...compete in the world?

If this is true, then Xu Zhenying must be eliminated!

Otherwise she will definitely disrupt the entire Zhou Dynasty!

But Mrs. Sun had already noticed something was wrong with her husband. She bit her lip slightly, but she didn't know what to do.

"Husband, what's wrong with you?"

Sun Qingchen licked his dry lips, an embarrassed smile appeared on his face, and then glanced at Mrs. Sun, "Yunxia, ​​come with me."

The two walked to the corner of the room.

Sun Qingchen's face turned pale, and he held Gu Yunxia's hand that was shaking slightly. It took him a long time to calm down, "Yunxia, ​​can you go out normally?"

"Occasionally, we can. Although the king has sent people to guard us, the guards are lax and they don't seem to completely regard us as prisoners."

"Okay, very good." Sun Qingchen's face softened slightly, "I will write a secret letter in handwriting later. You can find an opportunity to have someone send it out of the city. Deliver it to Mr. Jinzhou Futai. Remember, this letter cannot be passed on to others. It must be Deliver it personally to Mr. Fujun."
