Chapter 384 Fan Chiqing Enrolls
The number of people they have is enough to guard the city gates, but if they really want to compete with the stationed troops, they will be totally insufficient.
But the garrisoned troops are the garrisoned troops, and the government soldiers are the government soldiers.
The resident general and the prefect must be people who do not interfere with each other, otherwise the current emperor would not be at ease to put the two together.
To put it bluntly, if the two of them put their heads together, you have power and I have soldiers, then they are not the prefect and the general, but two local tyrants.
Therefore, the appointment of the prefect and the garrisoned general is of paramount importance.
In fact, Yu Jiusi had the right to borrow people from the garrison, but he had a preconceived idea that the matter of the prefect colluding with grain merchants to embezzle, oppress the people, and disregard the lives of the people should be under the jurisdiction of the governor, so he chose to borrow people from the governor.
But he had only predicted this matter at first, so he did not make it clear when he sent someone to borrow someone. Who would have thought that he would be tricked by that man named Lu.
Fortunately, although Xue Mai and his soldiers were a bit reckless, they were still the young men of the Great Zhou.
Xue Mai met Yu Jiusi's eyes and asked with a trembling voice, "Lang, Lang Jiang, why do you look at me like this?"
Yu Jiusi shook his head, patted him on the shoulder and promised him: "I will reward you according to your merits when we return to Beijing."
Xue Mai was overjoyed when he heard this and nodded repeatedly. After a moment, he remembered their previous question: "General, if we are not going to attack the prefect's house, why do we have to besiege the city with such fanfare?"
Yu Jiusi looked at the people who were secretly huddled around and watching them, and said slowly:
"One is to give the prefect a warning. The other is... some news spreads like wings among the common people. Instead of defending ourselves after entering the city, we might as well use the common people's mouths to spread our purpose."
His back was still straight on the horse, and Xue Mai suddenly didn't want to reward him anymore.
What's the point of staying and working under the governor?
......
Tongan County.
After leaving the county school, Wu Quan went straight home, explained the situation to his family, and then the whole family sent Fan Chiqing to the county school.
Fan Chiqing looked at the expectant expressions of his parents and family and was unable to say no.
Wu Quan continued to talk about the benefits of Tongan County School:
"Our Lord Shen has discussed with Principal Li. Although you are not from Tong'an County, because your sister married into our county, the tuition fee is lower than that of Liuchang Academy. It is only 300 coins. In addition, the food and accommodation are all in the county school, so no money is charged!"
"Besides, let me tell you. The county school not only doesn't charge you for food and lodging, but also has a monthly reward system. Those who rank at the top of the exam will all receive rewards! I heard that they are all good pens, inkstones, and books! Just last month, that talented man from the Pei family, you know him, right? He was your classmate at Liuchang Academy. He ranked first in the exam and received an inkstone!"
Wu Quan thought about how powerful Pei Zhaoqi was, groaned, and added in a low voice: "There are actually second and third..."
Fan Chiqing stood where he was and whispered:
"Thank you, brother-in-law. It's great that I can go to Tongan County School. Even if I rank among the top in the exam, I'm embarrassed to take the reward from the county school."
Wu Quan slapped his junior in the face.
"I knew you would say that. Lord Shen said that on purpose. In short, apart from paying tuition fees, your other treatment is exactly the same as that of the county school students. Don't be embarrassed!"
He frowned and murmured, "I feel like I've forgotten something..."
"Ah! That's right—"
Wu Quan slapped his forehead and thought, "Lord Shen also said that because the Earl of Yongning is busy recently, he can't teach in the county school. But when he is free in the future, he will give a lecture in the county school once every seven days."
Fan Chiqing paused, his eyes lit up, and he asked in disbelief:
"Brother-in-law is talking about Earl Yongning, Uncle Yu?"
Wu Quan looked strange and asked him, "How many Earls of Yongning are there in our county?"
A white light exploded in Fan Chiqing's mind, and his lips trembled, "It's really Uncle Yu... Can I, can I also listen to Uncle Yu's lectures?"
Her sister Fan Shuran came forward and chuckled:
"Although your brother-in-law is usually a bit silly, he has never been careless about your studies. He dared to say this, he must have got the approval of Lord Shen."
More than once she was grateful for marrying Wu Quan, or rather marrying to Tongan County.
Although their life was not so good before Lord Shen came to Tongan County, Wu Quan treated her and her family well, and he was willing to work hard. So when she went back to her parents' home in the past, she could always stand up straight.
What's more, Tong'an County has changed dramatically in just one year. Whenever she went back to her parents' home in recent months, people around her always looked at her with envy.
Everyone says she married well.
But she also knows that building a family is like doing business. It is not enough for the other party to be good and treat her well. She also needs to work hard to catch up with the other party. Only when the two are evenly matched can they last long.
But right now...
Fan Shuran looked at his younger brother and sighed in his heart.
Obviously, my brother’s luck wasn’t very good before, but on second thought, how could the current situation not be a blessing in disguise?
When the family arrived at the gate of the county school, Wu Quan led Fan Chiqing inside.
After they passed through the main entrance corridor, they happened to meet Shen Zheng coming out.
Wu Quan quickly took Fan Chiqing forward to pay his respects and introduced her, "Sir Shen, this is my brother-in-law, Fan Chiqing."
Fan Chiqing put down the package in his hand and saluted, "Student Fan Chiqing, greetings to Master Shen."
To be honest, Fan Chiqing's image was somewhat different from what Shen Zheng had imagined.
But it was true that she had some preconceived ideas.
She thought that the man surnamed Mo could be so proactive, so he must be the one who took the initiative, right? He must have been attracted to Fan Chiqing because of his appearance and temperament.
So she subconsciously thought that Fan Chiqing should be a weak scholar - dressed in white, gentle as jade, a handsome young man.
But the Fan Chiqing in front of me...
He was tall and strong, with a wheat-colored complexion and strong and tough features. He was completely different from what Shen Zheng had imagined before. If someone said he was a martial artist, Shen Zheng would believe it.
Shen Zheng hissed in his heart and discovered the blind spot.
So...the guy with the surname Mo is the what?
Facing her slightly surprised look, Fan Chiqing lowered his eyes.
Wu Quan thought she was dissatisfied with Fan Chiqing's image, and said repeatedly: "Master Shen, don't worry, although Chiqing is a little tall, he has an honest character and will never cause trouble in the county school! I will also keep an eye on him!"
Shen Zheng coughed and shook his head, "That's not what I meant. I just think Mr. Fan is in good health, which is rare in our area."
Wu Quan understood what she meant and said with a smile:
"Does your Excellency think so? You know what, when I first met him, he was only fourteen years old, and he was half a head taller than me. I was so scared! At that time, I thought my wife had a brother!"
