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

Chapter 254 Mobilization

Zhao Qionian felt a little guilty, but in fact he had done nothing.

What's more important is that Zhao Qionian is not only guilty, but also a little flustered.

Because he noticed that Xu Zhenying's men now gathered many talented people, each of whom was capable, so he said that Mo Jinchun, Gu Guihua, Chang Zizai and others were obviously no match for him regardless of their skills or brains.

If it weren't for the friendship he had with selling soap on the road to exile, he, Zhao Qionian, might not even be able to show his face in front of Xu Zhenying.

Now is not the time to be short of people selling soap!

Zhao Qiaonian heard Feng'er say that Jinzhou Prefecture was promoting universal education. Everyone knew how to read and write, especially those who were soldiers. They were good at writing, calculation, literature and martial arts. They were completely different from the soldiers of the Zhou Dynasty. people.

At this moment, Zhao Qiong's sense of crisis suddenly rose, and he immediately got close to him when he got the opportunity: "City Lord, why didn't you see Ming Xiaoshuang? This time we came from Bianjing City, but we brought his wife with us! "

Xu Zhenying said with a smile: "He led another team to attack the county town below. I'm afraid it will take at least ten days and a half to come back."

After that, she said to Mrs. Lian: "Second aunt, take good care of the family members they brought here. Especially Ming Xiaoshuang's mother. I heard that she is old and can't see. Please hire someone with diligent hands and feet." Go take care of me, girl.”

Lian Shi sighed quickly.

Xu Zhenying exposed it lightly in just one sentence, and then focused on government affairs, "Mo Jinchun, go and count the weapons and military equipment; Feng'er, let Mr. Sun cooperate with you to find out the bottom line of Xingyuan Mansion, fertile land, tax revenue , population, make a table for me; Second Aunt, ask the people below to inform the people of Xingyuan Mansion that there will be a meeting at nine o'clock tomorrow, and the location will be-"

Xu Zhenying was a little unclear about the topography of Xingyuan Mansion, but Qi Er had already said, "Why don't we decide on the open space at the North City Gate? There's a lot of space there."

"Okay. Qi Er, you take the people to clean up the venue, and by the way, cooperate with my second aunt to maintain order at the venue tomorrow."

Qi Er quickly nodded in agreement, his heart pounding, but he turned around and whispered to Feng'er: "When is nine o'clock? What needs to be done at the venue?"

Feng'er also shook his head, "I don't know either. Why don't we ask the company commander later."

Zhao Qionnian became a little anxious when he saw that he was not assigned any tasks.

Daniel also tugged on his sleeves and kept signaling with his eyes. Zhao Qiaonian boldly said: "City Lord, what do you need us to do? Since we have come to seek refuge with you, we can't do nothing."

Xu Zhenying smiled: "Brother Zhao, don't be anxious. This matter must be sorted out one by one. There are always opportunities for meritorious service. If there is no assignment for the time being, you should be on standby. When someone calls you, you can go around putting out fires."

When the meeting was over, a group of people seemed to understand what was being said, but were too embarrassed to ask Xu Zhenying, so they could only shamelessly ask Lian in private: "Minister Lian, the city lord said there will be a meeting tomorrow, what kind of meeting will be held? Is it about murder?" Or grab something?"

Qi Er also came over and said, "Even the Minister, what does the City Lord mean when she says nine o'clock? Why can't I understand what she said?"

Mr. Lin also came to join in the fun: "Are you going to invite all the people in the city to the meeting? What is she going to say?"

Sun Qingchen had been with Xu Zhenying for a while, and was naturally familiar with the roads. Seeing that everyone was confused, Sun Qingchen, who had always been a little depressed and afraid that he would not be reused by Xu Zhenying, found some places and said with a smile: "There is a twelve-year-old man in Lan County. The hour clock will keep time by itself without the need for a time doctor to record it. Half an hour is an hour, which is much more convenient than the current copper kettle dripper. Don't worry, Xingyuan Mansion will soon build this clock. You can take a look at it. I understand. Nine o'clock is probably the time when the hour and hour change—"

Mr. Lin was very curious about the object that could tell time by itself. He just wished that Xu Zhenying could fix a clock now so that he could play with it.

Sun Qingchen continued: "To set up the venue, I just need to get some tables, chairs and benches, put up a banner, and, by the way, a loudspeaker. When there are more people, it is easy for a stampede to happen. Brother Zhao will have to send more people to maintain order at the scene. "

Lian also added with a smile: "A meeting is just a meeting, no killing, no grabbing. Our Jinzhou Mansion soldiers behave in a well-behaved manner wherever they go. I guess the city lord has just occupied Xingyuan Mansion, and there is something going on. Let’s answer it to the people.”

Qi Er finally took a dose of reassurance in his heart.

Early the next morning, the people of Xingyuan Mansion were sure that something had changed.

From then on, their Xingyuan Mansion became the territory of rebels.

As soon as it dawned, the group of soldiers and women dressed in nondescript clothes began to walk from house to house, shouting loudly, "There is a meeting in the North Gate Square at the beginning of the day, and you are not allowed to miss it."

They shouted back and forth for about half an hour until they made sure that every household was notified.

Someone who was brave leaned on the window and looked through a small gap. He saw only a few strong women. So he became a little bolder and asked in a low voice: "It's a meeting. What kind of meeting are we having?"

This question made everyone on the street prick up their ears to listen to the woman's answer.

"It's just a meeting! The city lord has something to say to everyone. National education, smallpox vaccination, and piglet breeding need to be started as soon as possible. It's okay if you don't go. Those are all real benefits!"

"Raising pigs?!" A bold woman opened the door halfway and only dared to show her head, "Is it a Lan County pig? It is said that one or two hundred pounds of Lan County pigs can be raised in half a year?"

"Yes, yes, if you miss this village, you won't be able to find this shop!"

"Really teach us how to raise pigs?"

The woman frowned and seemed impatient: "Is it possible that there are still fake ones? Every household in Lan County raises pigs, and the city lord sent people to teach them step by step. If you don't believe it, don't come!"

Although everyone was scared, they were also curious, and they were more distracted by the woman's few words.

Raise pigs!
It is said that the Lan County pig can grow to two hundred pounds in half a year!
As for those about universal education and smallpox vaccination, they didn't understand and didn't care much.

Only Nalan County pigs have ready-made and real benefits!
After the women walked away with the loudspeakers, the neighbors in the street leaned out one by one, winking at each other, and seemed to be asking questions.

As of now, all I have to do is leave!

Everyone goes, what are you afraid of?
But no one expected that the legendary three-headed, six-armed rebel in Jinzhou Prefecture who loved to drink human blood would be so young, so immature, and so delicate! The rebel was neither tall nor cute, slightly fat and slightly rounded, at least he looked healthy and strong. His facial features were not outstanding, with a pair of bright black and white eyes, always smiling, and there seemed to be two shallow pear dimples on his lips.

The most eye-catching thing is her strange outfit.

He didn't wear the skirt that was fashionable in the Zhou Dynasty, only a long coat and trousers. He looked like he had just put on his middle coat and went out in a hurry, which was indescribably strange.

Not to mention his shoulder-length short hair, only tied in a small bun on the back of his head. He looked like a book boy or a boy from a wealthy family. The people around him also had short green hair, so no wonder they were called green-headed thieves.

Those who are curious about Xu Zhenying's appearance will be disappointed.

This is too nondescript!
Today, the rebel leader set up a high platform and placed a dozen stools. After almost all the people in Xingyuan Mansion had arrived, the square was filled with heads in darkness, but it was as quiet as a tomb, and no one dared to make a sound. Issued to.

With the crowd at the center, there were hundreds of soldiers guarding each intersection. They were holding knives and staring eagerly. Although they were dressed strangely, their sinewy flesh and fierce eyes were enough to intimidate all the people in Xingyuan Mansion.

"Everyone!" Xu Zhenying held an iron tube in his hand and instantly raised his voice very loudly. Not to mention the people of Xingyuan Mansion, even Mr. Lin on one side was startled by the sudden volume.

All the people in the square instantly looked at Xu Zhenying on the high platform.

In that morning glow, a ray of sunlight fell on her head, and at that moment she seemed like a compassionate God and Buddha.

"I am the legendary rebel leader of Jinzhou Prefecture. Everyone raised their heads and looked at me. It is rumored that I have three heads and six arms. Everyone should take this opportunity to count how many arms and legs I have."

The people in the audience were amused, and the atmosphere suddenly became a little more lively, no longer as tight as before.

"Of course, I don't like drinking human blood either."

This time, the people laughed sincerely.

Everyone also saw that this rebel was really different. At least he looked polite, unlike some thieves who looked fat and murderous.

I'm afraid it's true as the people from Jinzhou Prefecture said, this rebel has some abilities!
Mr. Lin has never seen such an approachable side of Xu Zhenying. The imperial power is majestic, and the superiors in history always show a majestic image to others, for fear that they will not be able to suppress all living beings.

Xu Zhenying did the opposite.

He is strict with his subordinates, but kind to the common people.

Mr. Lin was a little stunned and said to Sun Qingchen: "Has she always been like this?"

Sun Qingchen nodded, "She has always been able to win people's hearts."

"Master Sun, what you said is wrong. Don't forget that you are working under her now. If you go to the peak in this way, you will have to suffer."

Sun Qingchen smiled: "What I said is the truth. The City Lord has a broad mind and never cares about these things. She only values ​​your ability and attitude, and nothing else is important to her."

Mr. Lin looked thoughtful.

It would be more interesting for this god to step down from the altar.

He was looking forward more and more to how Xu Zhenying's governance methods, which were completely different from those of the Zhou Dynasty, would bring about earth-shaking changes to the world.

"Everyone must have heard of my name, Xu Zhenying, to some extent. There are both good and bad, real and fake. I won't make a distinction here. It's meaningless to say that my fame and achievements have to be judged by others. It’s true. I won’t say much about the rest, but I’ll tell you a few words from the bottom of my heart.”

"From today on, Xingyuan Mansion is my Xu Zhenying's territory, and you are my Xu Zhenying's people! I, Xu Zhenying, will definitely do my best to create a fair and free society, a society that is completely different from the Great Zhou Dynasty. Maybe you now You still don’t fully understand what I said, but it doesn’t matter. You just need to understand one sentence. I, Xu Zhenying, will do my best to help you live a good life. No more hunger and cold, no more dignity, no more sex! Ninth class, everyone is fed and clothed, every child can read and write, and everyone has the opportunity to realize their dreams!”

Compared to Xu Zhenying's exciting speeches, the reaction of the people in Xingyuan Mansion was cold and indifferent, not as enthusiastic as her cold joke with three heads and six arms just now.

Looking at the numb faces and hunched people below, Xu Zhenying knew that until the problem of food and clothing was not solved, those who talked about dreams were all gangsters!

There is no use in talking about values. You have to show some practical benefits to the people, so that they can willingly identify with and maintain your regime!
"Okay, I won't say anything else. Let me first announce a few things that are closely related to your own interests. The first thing is education for all! The census and registration will begin in the afternoon. Anyone between the ages of thirteen and fifteen will Regardless of gender, free reading and literacy will start from tomorrow. The teacher will be in place soon. The school building will first requisition a few places for private schools. You will know the specific arrangements when you register in the afternoon. "

As expected, since their own interests were involved, the enthusiasm of the people in Xingyuan Prefecture instantly increased a lot. Immediately, a brave one asked in a shrill voice: "Why does it have to be between thirteen and fifteen years old? The normal age for enlightenment is five or six years old!"

Xu Zhenying said with a smile: "That's because people between the ages of thirteen and fifteen can sit still and learn quickly. Once they learn it, they can immediately work for me, or become teachers or officials. Only by first Only when teachers are trained can they bring more students. Of course, don’t worry, my teacher Xu Zhenying’s salary is at least thirty cents a day, and I will definitely not default on it if I pay it on the same day!”

--boom.

Now the crowd exploded.

"What, thirty cents?! One day's wages? Did I hear that correctly?"

"That means that the first batch of people can become teachers after they come out and teach the next batch immediately? But it will take several years to learn and read, right?"

"Is it free? Really? He doesn't charge a penny? But what does he want? He's paying us to let our kids learn to read?"

——Bang bang bang!

Someone knocked on the gong on the high platform, and the sound was deafening. Xu Zhenying took advantage of the opportunity and said: "Once again, admission is free. Both teachers and students include a meal at noon. The junior literacy class takes about twenty days of study. , the intermediate class takes one to two months, and after learning it, it is easy to read and write. The first batch of people are the most difficult. After completing the course, they can become teachers immediately, and they can earn 30 yuan a day. If you are interested, go to the government office in the afternoon for consultation! I will set up a service point there to register early and start school early to make money. If you don’t believe me, Xu Zhenying, and miss this first wave of opportunities to make money, you can’t blame me! "

The people in Xingyuan Prefecture were doubtful. It seemed that no one wanted to believe that Xu Zhenying had spent so much money to provide education for all. However, the salesman in the crowd shouted: "Oh, why don't you believe it? That person in Lan County is here." It’s been nearly a year since we launched National Education! Almost everyone, from 80-year-olds to five- and six-year-old children, can read! They have a special method for teaching Chinese characters, called pinyin. If you know those dozens of runes, you can read all the words. If you don’t believe it, you can ask people from Lan County!”
