Chapter 288 I'm Just Like That
Lu Chenyang said, "I'd be criticized if I caught him, not to mention that he'd be dead after I caught him. Even if we can't find the cause, it wouldn't work."
A cold look flashed across Zhao Xi's eyes. "It's okay if I don't kill him. I also have a way to make him want to live but not die!"
Lu Chenyang couldn't help but sigh softly. It seemed that his son Zhaoxi's medical skills had become too diverse.
Lu Chenyang said: "This matter still depends on Weidong."
Wei Dong's eyes lit up: "Sir, if there's anything I can do, I'll definitely do it beautifully for you!"
Lu Chenyang said meaningfully, "The Fourth Prince's withdrawal of troops led to the fall of Huai'an City and the deaths of innocent civilians. This is a great injustice, and it is only right that the families should complain and cry out for justice." After a pause, he said seriously, "As the head of all officials and the great Shangshu Ling, it is my duty to redress the grievances of the people."
Wei Dong immediately grinned and said, "Your Excellency is wise! I'll do it right away!"
Ji Ping and Zu Xingwei looked at the smile on Wei Dong's face, and inexplicably had a feeling that this person would have a bright future.
Wei Dong couldn't wait to make arrangements, but Lu Chenyang said, "Don't worry, I still have something to discuss with you." After a pause, he said, "This team composed of the people of Huai'an City cannot be disbanded. I will hand them over to General Tan for training. The safety of Huai'an City will also be in their hands in the future. You will return the roster to General Tan. They will be on the payroll from now on."
Weidong agreed immediately and had no objection to this arrangement.
Wei Dong was a little confused. Why didn't they hand these soldiers over to him? Instead, they handed them over to Tan Feng to manage. Maybe it was because Tan Feng came from the military?
This thought just flashed through Wei Dong's mind, and he didn't think about it anymore. He would naturally do his best to cooperate with Lu Chenyang's orders.
Lu Chenyang added, "Also, the people who have come to seek refuge now must be properly resettled. I will allocate a batch of food to you later to accommodate them. Also, land must be distributed according to population. I have already set the standards for this, and you must strictly follow them."
Wei Dong agreed, "Yes." He thought for a moment and said, "Sir, that school..."
Lu Chenyang looked at him silently, and Weidong smiled at him ingratiatingly.
Wei Dong rubbed his hands and looked at Lu Chenyang eagerly: "I think this school should be built. Our Huai'an City didn't have a strong literary style in the past, but that was in the past. Now that you are in charge of our Huai'an City, if we don't produce a few top scholars, it would be a shame for your cultivation, right? I think we should start to focus on education from now on, and schools are indispensable! Now is the time to let the children go to school. This is also a hope, right?"
Lu Chenyang turned to Tan Feng and said, "Look at this, what sweet words he said. In the past, I always used nice words to coax others, but now he is using these sweet words to coax me. He is here to ask me for money and people."
A tall and burly man with hard muscles looked at him eagerly. If he had a tail, he would probably wag it a few times.
Who could bear to refuse him?
Lu Chenyang sighed softly, "Prefect Wei! You have to eat one bite at a time. You can't become fat in one go. There will be workshops, there will be schools, there will be top scholars. Just wait and see. Let's settle them down first." He suddenly remembered something: "Should we hold a blind date or something? Your Huai'an City is almost becoming a city of bachelors. We have to urge them to get married and have children."
Weidong nodded in agreement.
The two discussed for a long time, and finally Wei Dong left dizzy, feeling that a pile of things finally fell on his head.
After Weidong left, Lu Chenyang couldn't help but complain to Zhao Xi: "If you still want to be the top scholar, why not go to heaven! Yanquan County hasn't even produced a scholar yet."
Zhao Xi couldn't help but burst out laughing. She said, "There are many mediocre people in this world. A talent like my master's would only appear once in a thousand years. Anyone who can be even slightly like my master can be considered excellent."
Lu Chenyang couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth. He said modestly, "Thank you for the compliment. I'm just okay."
Zhao Xi coaxed Lu Chenyang into a happy smile, and then Lu Chenyang started writing a letter to Chen Songyuan to ask for the person.
Weidong is right, education should start from childhood. We need teachers and books!
Things have to be done one by one.
