Chapter 73: Sacrifice your life for Lord Lu!
After Lu Chenyang left the Xu family, he said to Li Dajun, "You must take good care of the county lieutenant's health in the future. Don't let him work so hard again."
Li Dajun nodded in agreement and grinned, "Your Excellency is truly considerate of your subordinates."
Xu Zhenghui fell ill, but someone had to do the work. As everyone knew, Yanquan County had almost no education, and even literacy was hard to find.
Finally, Lu Chenyang thought about it and decided to ask a few outstanding students from the county school to send it over, and also gave them money.
This county school has been open for almost a year, and everyone has learned a lot of characters. It's time to put them to use.
Lu Chenyang felt that he was very far-sighted, and immediately sent someone to the county school to find students.
If you want to get good grades, you can't delay your studies.
More than 20 students were sent from the county school. Lu Chenyang met them in person and gave them some encouragement. The students were so excited that they almost vowed to die for him.
As everyone knows, Lu Chenyang is good at sweet talk.
Lu Chenyang was very satisfied when he saw the people from the county school going to work with great confidence.
Lu Chenyang had just finished dealing with things here when Yan Xing arrived. He immediately rushed out to meet him.
The tall and handsome young man smiled brilliantly when he saw him, which made Yan Xing's heart skip a beat.
"Why are you here at this hour?" Lu Chenyang asked with a smile, "Come in quickly. The fruits I brought back from Sanyang County have ripened in the past few days, so it's just right for you to try them."
He even thought of him while eating a fruit. It can be seen that he treats him sincerely, right?
Yan Xing was completely bribed by a few fruits.
Yan Xing said, "I wanted to ask you if you knew what was happening outside. There's chaos in Shu, and many people are rebelling."
Lu Chenyang immediately understood what he meant: "Are you worried that there will be more refugees?"
Yan Xing nodded: "This is a good opportunity."
As for what the opportunity was, the two of them looked at each other and understood.
Yan Xing said, "I will leave immediately with two thousand men and three days' worth of food."
Lu Chenyang nodded and said, "Take Lu Ning with you. He may not be good at other things, but he is good at Qinggong. It will be convenient for him to pass on messages if there is anything."
Yan Xing knew that he was worried about him, and he was very pleased, so he nodded and agreed.
Lu Chenyang nodded and sighed: "It's a pity that there are too few horses in Yanquan County."
There are not even many sheep in Yanquan County, so where do the horses come from?
Yan Xing was speechless for a while. He said, "Lord Lu, please keep a low profile. You already have an army of more than 10,000 under your command, and you still want war horses. Why..." Why not just rebel?
I didn't dare say that.
Lu Chenyang chuckled and whispered, "Yes, there will be everything."
Yan Xing looked at him without saying anything, then turned and left.
There are many mountain roads in Lingnan, so the lack of horses doesn’t have much of an impact now.
Lu Chenyang thought for a while and decided to start with weapons.
Lu Chenyang began to search through boxes and cabinets for something. Zhao Xi came back from outside and saw him. "What are you looking for, sir?"
Lu Chenyang said, "I have a book called 'Qiuyuan Miscellaneous Talks'. I remember I brought it with me, but why can't I find it?"
This is a miscellaneous book that Lu Chenyang got by chance. But it records a kind of iron tool with very high hardness.
Lu Chenyang wanted to ask local craftsmen to figure out how to make weapons.
Now that there are more people and horses, the weapons must also keep up.
Zhao Xi always paid attention to every detail of Lu Chenyang's affairs, and she helped him find it immediately. Lu Chenyang touched her head happily.
"What would I do without you?" Lu Chenyang was generous with his praise.
Zhao Xi smiled so much that his eyes narrowed together, and he looked so proud.
Lu Chenyang took the book and went to find the craftsman.
There are blacksmiths in Yanquan County, and there are many of them.
After all, Yanquan County used to be a place where people would fight over anything, and many people in the underworld carried weapons.
Lu Chenyang explained the contents of the book to the craftsman and said, "Don't be afraid of trouble, just try a few more times. But you must record the heat and formula of each attempt so that it will be easier to try again in the future."
The craftsmen looked at each other in bewilderment: "Sir, we can't read."
Lu Chenyang: "...Learn!" He gritted his teeth and said, "Let your apprentices learn first, and then let your apprentices teach you. Everyone must learn to read!"
Craftsmen: “…”
They were certain that Lu Chenyang was definitely the incarnation of Wenquxing, and only Wenquxing would be so persistent in making people study.
So Lu Chenyang started night reading. The craftsmen worked during the day and had to go to the county school to study for an hour after dinner.
They only learned common characters and mathematics, and not only artisans but also soldiers had to learn. Anyone above the age of ten who could not read had to come to school.
The entire county school is full, so we can just sit outside. Yanquan County is big anyway, and the weather is hot now, so it's just right to sit outside.
Then, when there were not enough scholars, Lu Chenyang pulled students over to do hard labor, under the pretext of teaching them so that they could review their lessons and study together.
Anyway, they just had to learn. Lu Chenyang used a cramming method to make them start reading and writing.
Studying is always boring no matter when. In order to encourage them, Lu Chenyang would visit the place where they studied from time to time.
When Lu Chenyang sees someone doing well in their studies, he will praise them.
Needless to say, the effect was fantastic. Those who had been praised by Lu Chenyang were full of energy, like they had been given a shot of chicken blood, and they studied very hard. Others also wanted to be praised by Lu Chenyang, anyway, they were motivated to study.
Lu Chenyang was also worried.
