Chapter 25: The person who came from Wuwei

Zhou Mengchen didn't think that he could do it all at once.

Even this year, during the spring plowing chaired by Zhou Mengchen, corn planting is a very small part, with few seeds. There are not many people familiar with corn. Moreover, food is the most important thing for people. No one can do anything randomly about the food rations of the people.

What is cultivated in spring? It is not just an economic issue, a food issue, but also a question of the people's hearts. How can we neglect it?

The people didn't think much, but they replaced their crops that they had planted for thousands of years with unfamiliar wheat. If it was not good, the people's hearts would be in turmoil.

Zhou Mengchen had to serve as the governor of Datong for at least three years. In these three years, Zhou Mengchen was very satisfied.

Zhou Mengchen said: "If you want to get the best, you can help me to open up the court. There is another thing. Please apply to the court at the same time. That is the military weapon supervision."

Yang Jisheng said: "Military weapon supervisor?"

Zhou Mengchen said: "Yes, military weapon supervision. The court has always had a tradition of letting the guards build weapons. But today is different from the past. I have seen the Datong military weapon manufacturing. I can only say it is terrible. There is no way to use it. If you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your weapons. If you want to compete with the Tartars, all kinds of weapons must be prepared. Moreover, I know that the Beijing military weapon supervision capacity is not enough, and I am afraid that it will not be able to support Datong. Moreover, Datong has more coal and Shanxi has more iron. If you establish a military weapon supervision here, you will naturally be able to supply the front line."

"I have no objection." Yang Jisheng pondered for a while and said, "But you have to be careful. Now, your people are in the control of Datong inside and outside. You want to establish a military weapon surveillance, do you also need to make cannons? In this way, where is the court----"

After hearing this, Zhou Mengchen said, "I have prepared for a long time. What I mean is that although this military weapon supervisor is under my command, it is under the supervision of Beijing military weapon supervisors. I will not establish it in Datong. It is south of the Sanggan River and is not far from Beijing."

"If the court is worried, you can assign the military weapon supervisor."

Yang Jisheng also knew that the military weapon surveillance was Zhou Mengchen's private place. However, in Yang Jisheng's opinion, Zhou Mengchen's statement was nothing.

In fact, Yang Jisheng was not worried about Zhou Mengchen's rebellion. It was nothing else. Zhou Mengchen was a civil servant. At least in the Ming Dynasty, there was never a traitor who was born in a Jinshi. It was just that Datong was in an extraordinary state after all. Unlike the previous system of division between the small and small, they could not balance each other. Zhou Mengchen's power was a bit imbalanced. It violated the principle of the court. This made him unable to help asking more questions.

Yang Jisheng said: "I will feel relieved if you have this intention."

Yang Jisheng left after circling in Datong for several days.

The one who left with him was also the King Dai. When the King Dai left, he was very grateful to Zhou Mengchen. After all, the difference between Datong Prefecture and Yanzhou Prefecture was too big. The King Dai no longer had to worry about living a good life. The King Dai left with great gratitude. Even though many of the King Dai's property were taken away by King Raoyang, when he left, he still pulled the road for a large cart.

Moreover, some real estate was left to the local government, namely Zhou Mengchen.

It also made Zhou Mengchen have many houses at once.

These houses will soon become useful.

There is nothing else, and the person who is invincible is here.

When Zhou Mengchen's letter reached Wuwei, Wu Tinghan was overjoyed when he saw it.

Now his sons have grown up and his grandson has also been hugged. What thoughts do he have? It is nothing more than to carry forward the qi and prevent the mind from learning.

However, there are no high-ranking officials in Qixue. Apart from him, only Luo Qinshun was the only one. However, Luo Qinshun and Wang Tingxiang were both Qixue, but they were not necessarily all along the way. Moreover, Wu Tinghan had never heard of any outstanding figures among Luo Qinshun's disciples.

Among the disciples of Xinxue, there are those who have become second-level assistants, some of them have become Minister of War, etc.

With these big guys, Xin Xue is in Jiangnan and open academies in the country. As a result, there are more talents, and only he teaches Qi Xue in a small place Wuwei. However, there are Xin Xue students in Wuwei State, and what he does is just a drop in the bucket.

Wu Tinghan has always wanted to build a Qi Academy in Wuweizhou.

It’s just a pity that there is no money, and there is no background.

After all, this academies seem to be established by the people. But it would be a big mistake for anyone who really thought that the people of the Ming Dynasty could establish a academies casually. As for having no money, it is normal. When Wu Tinghan became an official, he was honest and stopped being an official. He relied on his homeland to have enough food and clothing, but supplying a academies was not something Wu Tinghan could do.

When Zhou Mengchen mentioned that he wanted to establish a college in Datong, Wu Tinghan immediately agreed. In fact, Wu Tinghan was not very satisfied. After all, Wu Tinghan also knew where Datong was.

He knew that Datong had a thin literary style, and even if he opened a college, it would probably be difficult to cultivate any talents. However, in the current situation of Qixue, it would be good to have a new academy, and the rest could only be considered.

Wu Tinghan mobilized his connections and sent his son, Wu Guoshang, to the north with more than a dozen Qixue disciples.

They headed north along the Grand Canal, and the trip was more than three months.

It was only after Zhou Mengchen cleaned up Datong.

Zhou Mengchen was overjoyed and welcomed Wu Guoshang and his group at the gate of Datong City.

Wu Guoshang followed his father to the capital and met Zhou Mengchen. When he saw Zhou Mengchen from afar, he felt a sudden change in his heart, thinking that this uncle had changed a lot. He used to be mostly bookish, but now he has a momentum of not being angry but powerful.

Zhou Mengchen killed forty-three generals in one breath, and died directly and indirectly in Zhou Mengchen's writings as many as hundreds of people. Zhou Mengchen's temperament changed a little without realizing it. But Zhou Mengchen himself did not know it.

When Wu Guoshang saw Zhou Mengchen, he immediately bowed and said, "I have met uncles." Some of the people behind Wu Guoshang had to call him uncles, while others called him uncles. For a time, Zhou Mengchen had many younger generations.

Zhou Mengchen said, "Okay, it's good to come."

Cheng Dawei followed Zhou Mengchen and led his junior brothers to salute, "Greetings to Senior Brother."

Zhou Mengchen didn't know that this was the formal formation of the Northern Qi lineage, which was written in later history.

He exchanged a few greetings with Wu Guoshang and asked Cheng Dawei to take him down to greet him.

Then an order was announced at the Governor's Office, that is, all the clans of Datong must go to school in Datong Academy. If they cannot graduate, their qualifications for military service will be disqualified.

The so-called sacrificial servant refers to the children of officers and generals. If these people have the right to inherit, they can inherit the ranks of their fathers and grandparents. If their fathers and grandparents do not have ranks of their fathers and grandparents, or if their ranks of their fathers and grandparents do not belong to him to inherit, they will have another way out, which is to join the army.

To join the army by shepherds, it is naturally much better than ordinary people joining the army, and they become officers as soon as they come in.

With the decline of the garrison system, many vocational positions have no privileges. More and more people join the army with the sect. Generally speaking, there are no restrictions.

He was even encouraged by the court.

After all, the imperial court lacked military talents. The martial arts examination once every three years cannot be supplemented. However, there are no fewer low-level officers needed by the Nine Borders of the Ming Dynasty every year, and martial arts cannot be supplemented at all. Those who dare to join the army by sacrificing their own people generally have trained at home.

It is easier to use than the lower-level officers who are born in ordinary soldiers.

It was just a knife from Zhou Mengchen, which made many generals in Datong secretly dissatisfied.

After all, in the Ming army, there was always a trend of despising culture, as if the more illiterate they were, the more they could play. Those who didn’t know a person’s words were as if they had a combat bonus. Anyone who reads the Four Books and Five Classics always slaps and turns, this is not enough, that is not enough. They are always so unhappy. They always feel that people who have read books don’t know how to fight.

However, Zhou Mengchen had just killed forty-three generals.

For a moment, no one dared to say this in front of Zhou Mengchen. So they dragged left and right, and then they found someone to say it in Zhou Mengchen's name. The implication was to let Zhou Mengchen take it back and do not harm their children.
