Murong Wanli stepped forward, took the jade wolf-hair brush handed to him by the young attendant, and with a few swift strokes, his energy pierced through the jade, leaving behind the eight characters: "The law does not favor the noble, so as to rectify both inside and outside."
Xiao Zhixing was surprised; he never expected that what he left behind would be a core quote from Chinese legal thought.
He finished signing his name, put down his pen, and looked at the eight characters. Murong Wanli sighed, but said nothing.
He turned his head and saw that there were quite a few blank jade walls standing on this side.
Xiao Zhixing explained with a smile, "I just hope that all the great scholars in the world will come here to leave their calligraphy and paintings, so as to enhance the literary atmosphere of my northern state."
Murong Wanli nodded at her, at a loss for words.
Turning to walk towards the gate, above which were the four characters "Beizhou General School" written in a vigorous and elegant style, clearly the handwriting of Xiao Zhixing.

It encompasses all the skills that enable people to survive.”
"Divided into general disciplines such as literature, military affairs, criminal law, law, commerce, mathematics, industry, agriculture, wood, water, and arts."
Murong Wanli cut to the chase, "Where are you going to find so many masters? And how do you get them to be willing to teach you? And how do you compile the classic texts for their study?"
Xiao Zhixing bowed deeply, "That's why I so earnestly hope for your help."
