A scholar replied: "I know that there are many forces entrenched there. Now it seems that a commercial road has been opened, and people on both sides of the mountain can communicate."

Zhang Ci nodded, and said slowly: "Yes, there are still many people in Yuanshuo County who used to teach the mountain people to farm. Many places have built cement roads, and the villagers still enjoy various subsidies just like here."

The scholars were surprised: so good?
Ji Pingshan hesitated for a moment and said, "Is this a bit like the management style of Master Zhang and Mrs. Chen?"

Zhang Ci nodded: "Yes, most of the places on the other side of the mountain are now managed by us."

Really?Ji Pingshan smiled and said: "That's really great, the people over there are blessed, and the people here are also safer."

Zhang Ci smiled: "We are going to build a city over there, we need talents, are you willing to come?"

These words were like a thunderbolt, which exploded in the hearts of the scholars.

Build a city?That is equivalent to a prince, who has almost the same status as the surrounding countries, but is smaller in size and has a different name.

Are they Xia Guo people when they go there on errands, or are they people from that side?Can I go there?Will it hurt the family?
The chapters quietly waited for them to digest.

After a while, there was a thin voice: "Is it the same as King Nan'an in Anzhou?"

Anzhou?There was another thunder in everyone's heart.

Zhang Ci's voice was also very soft: "Anzhou belongs to the Xia Kingdom, and the King of Nan'an is still a subject of the Daxiang Dynasty."

Anzhou is an island in the middle of the river, not far from Yuanshuo County, which was occupied by King Nan'an.He neither expressed his independence to the imperial court nor proclaimed himself king to other countries, so Anzhou existed in such an embarrassing way; the people could not participate in the imperial examinations of the Daxiang Dynasty, and could not communicate with the land.

"Will this city be declared to the nations?"

"Yes. After the city lord's mansion is built and the government offices at all levels are established, we will choose a day to submit documents to the countries to announce our existence." Zhang Ci's tone was very solemn.

The scholars were silent for a while.

"If we go there, will we still be from the Xia Kingdom?" The voice was very weak.

"Yes. In the past, many people traveled around the world and served as officials in various countries." Zhang Ci alludes to the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.

The scholars have been circling those questions in their minds, will they arouse the suspicion of the court and implicate their families?

"You can go home and think about it, I won't force you."

These scholars all have houses in the city, so they just go back to their homes.

Cao Dezheng sighed and asked Zhang Ci: "Will anyone be willing to go there?"

Zhang Ci smiled lightly: "Stability or excitement, everyone's pursuit is different."

After waiting for two days, five scholars came to Zhang Ci and said they were willing to take their families to the other side of the mountain.

Zhang Ci nodded and asked them to go home and make arrangements.I have to go to the academy to resign, and I have to go home to pack my things. There are many things to do.

Liu Da came and brought a letter to Zhang Ci, saying that Hong Lincai and Wen Ju'an from Changping Academy invited him to bring it.

Zhang Ci read the letter and handed it to Liu Da.

"Are they willing to come and follow you? It's not yet decided whether you will open the academy." Liu Da was a little surprised.

Zhang Ci smiled: "They can also open an academy themselves, as long as they are closer to me. When you come here, you can do whatever you want."

Liu Da teased: "Is it okay to be a book boy?"

Zhang Ci glanced at him: "It's not easy to be my bookboy."

Liu laughed: "Okay, you write a reply, and I'll bring them over."

Zhang Ci wrote the words "sincere welcome" and stamped their familiar private seals.

After receiving the letter, Hong Lincai and Wen Ju'an went to the academy to formally resign.Zhang Yu stared at them for a long time before saying: "Although you mentioned it before, I still hope you can stay. Now that you have left, there were 15 people at the beginning, and I am the only one left."

Hong Lincai said: "It is very common to gather and disperse in life. More than ten years ago, we never thought that we would meet in Changping Academy. Many people came to the academy, and many people went out. You are a veteran, As the dean, Changping Academy can flourish in your hands."

Zhang Yu smiled bitterly: "I am old and came early, so it is my turn to be the dean. You are young, you can go to fight for an uncertain future, but I dare not, I will seek stability here. But the academy It is very difficult to carry forward in my hands.”

Wen Ju'an said: "With you and Mr. Juren in Changping Academy, there will be many students who will come to the fore."

Zhang Yu shook his head and sighed: "I'm only at this level. I just hope that the other masters will become more Confucian scholars, so that the academy will grow stronger. I will help take care of it."

Hong Lincai and Wen Ju'an got up and bowed deeply to him.

Zhang Ci waited for the five scholars to pack up, and asked Mo Jian to escort them there.He is waiting here for Hong Lincai and Wen Juan.

After listening to Zhang Ci's story, Chen Fan smiled to express his understanding.

Those seven were willing to pursue new developments, had enough courage, and took great risks.Zhang Yu has become more tenacious and magnanimous over the years. He is willing to guard Changping Academy, saying that he will take care of him, and hopes that his colleagues can become great scholars as soon as possible.

Zhang Ci would not leave them alone, it was the first academy established by him and Chen Fan.

There are many empty houses in the cottage, with plenty of space for temporary offices and residences.When the reserve officers were assembled, the first official meeting was held.

There were quite a few people: there were six people who had achieved meritorious titles, the others were twenty selected by farmers, and some scholars who had not obtained meritorious titles.

Chen Zhongyan said: "Today is April 19, [-]th year of Zaixi in the Daxiang Dynasty of the Xia Kingdom, and it happens to be Xiaoman." He held up a piece of paper, "Hua, which means prosperity and beauty. The king announced: Huacheng was officially established , the reign name is Chu Ning." As he spoke, he took the lead in applauding, and the others followed suit.

He introduced Chen Fan: "This is the Lord of Huacheng, Chen Fan." Everyone applauded.

He introduced Zhang Ci again: "This is Hwaseong City Minister, Zhang Ci." The crowd continued to applaud.

Chen Zhongyan said: "The city lord has the responsibility of appointing and dismissing, promulgating laws and orders, and representing Hwaseong in foreign affairs activities. The city minister is a high-ranking person who is in charge of all affairs in Hwaseong. Now, the city lord is asked to issue appointment documents for you adults. .”

Chen Fan described the setup and responsibilities of each department, and then began to issue certificates.

Due to the small size of the place and the lack of manpower, Hwaseong did not set up Shangshu Province, Zhongshu Province, and Menxia Province, but only set up a Secretary Province.Scholars are familiar with the name of this institution, but its responsibility is not to collect books, but similar to the three provinces. It is mainly responsible for the drafting and promulgation of various laws and government orders, and comprehensive management of government affairs.The official position of the chief is Secretary Supervisor, which is held by Wen Ju'an.

There are six books, and it happens that the other six Juren are the ministers.If there are more Juren, Chen Fan and the others can also set up more departments.

The city defense battalion is in charge of security and guarding. The leader is Yunfeng, who is an official city gate captain.

The guards of the city lord's mansion also have official positions, called Habayashi guards, and the leader is Hongfeng.

The grades of these officials are all three grades, and their salaries are the same as those of the Daxiang Dynasty.There are five towns in Hwaseong, with mayors, deputy towns and several Si Caos.All are assigned positions.
