My whole family traveled across time with an encyclopedia

Chapter 314: Treating people with a knife
"We have investigated. Although we don't know how the palm thunder is made, it is definitely not as scarce as Chang Yuan said!"

"This palm thunder is simply a weapon for siege. As long as you use the palm thunder, you will be invincible in conquering the city."

"It's just that Chang Yuan is so ignorant of praise. We went to communicate with him in person and promised to donate tens of thousands of tons of food, but he still refused."

"But if the thunder in the palm is in the hands of this person, it will be a matter of time before he takes over the world. It is useless for us to cooperate with others."

"Humph, what's the matter? Although this palm thunder is powerful, it is not without its weaknesses. From the previous battlefield analysis, the palm thunder is afraid of water. If they use the palm thunder, we can easily solve it with just a ladle of water. .”

"It sounds easy to say, but I'm afraid it won't be easy to implement."

"But no matter what, the thunder in the palm is very powerful, but it is not without its weaknesses. Since Chang Yuan does not know how to praise and rejects us, then we don't need to hang him on this person. Our families work together to give food to food. If you want money for money, I won’t believe it. How can Liu Jianxing not be able to defeat Chang Yuan?"

The reputation of the White Lotus Sect is too bad. It is impossible for these aristocratic families to blatantly cooperate with each other, and the three princes of Nanchen are not able to use them one by one.

They made the city a mess, and the people fled one after another. It seemed that the one who still had some ability was Liu Jianxing. Liu Jianxing had been an official in the court and had dealt with members of these clans.

"As soon as we arrived, Liu Jianxing treated us warmly and was much more knowledgeable and interesting than Chang Yuan."

"Although Liu Jianxing was not well-known in the past, looking at his decisive actions of rebelling, I am afraid that he is a deeply scheming person. If we cooperate with him, we may lose more than we gain, so we have to be careful."

People from several aristocratic families are related by marriage to each other. There is me among you, and you among me. Although there are frictions, they will temporarily cooperate regardless of past grudges when encountering major events.

After leaving Taixi County angrily, several people went directly east and transferred to Liu Jianxing's place, where they were warmly received by Liu Jianxing.

They received a cold reception from Chang Yuan, but Liu Jianxing treated them with courtesy, and many people's hearts unknowingly turned towards Liu Jianxing.

"It doesn't matter, as long as the food is in our hands, even if Liu Jianxing wants to do anything, he will be unable to do anything. Now that he has agreed to us becoming king, then our scholars can manage his various territories separately. If he has anything The trends cannot be hidden from us.”

On Chang Yuan's side, they wanted to obtain scholars through the imperial examination and enter Chang Yuan's management. On Liu Jianxing's side, as soon as they proposed that they wanted to support the other party as king and provide food and transport talents, Liu Jianxing immediately agreed and even selected them. Give them a list of officials needed in various places and let them recommend talents themselves.

Such considerate behavior, when compared with Chang Yuan, the balance immediately fell.

……

After making a talent training plan, Ning Changrong began to search for suitable students.

Priority was given to selecting among their own people, and many of the children sent to Ning Qingxi for training were selected. However, there were some children who worshiped their fathers, wanted to go to war, and were unwilling to become civil servants in the future. Ning Changrong did not make any strong demands. .

The children he selected included children of civil servants and soldiers, orphans, talented people, better farmers, and even his own countrymen.

Ning Daniu's son Ning Daguang was also selected.

But Ning Daguang relied entirely on his own ability, and Ning Changrong didn't let anything go.

The reason for careful selection is that this group of people will receive free education without any fees. If they learn well, there will be monetary rewards.

A preliminary plan of 2+1+2 was made. The first two years were used to learn literacy and arithmetic, the third and fourth years were used to learn government affairs processing, and the next year was their internship time. While studying, they followed local officials. Government affairs.

Only in this way can we cultivate a group of people who are loyal to them as quickly as possible.

If things go on like this, talents will continue to emerge.

Compared with those veterans whose thinking has been fixed, this group of children obviously have great potential that can be tapped.

Students need teachers, and Ning Changrong himself has a lot of things to deal with. It is impossible to train them from beginning to end in person. He can only take the time to visit, so they need to find a suitable teacher.

But Ning Changrong didn't need to worry about this matter. He only needed to report the matter and someone would handle it.So Ning Changrong's previous invitation with money, if the money didn't work, started to use the method of invitation with sword.

……

"Brother, we have checked. There is no one at home. We have communicated with the people on the river. As long as we take the people with us, we can go back on the boat."

"action."

The leader gave the order, and then the group of people climbed over the wall and rushed into a house.

Dong Zhongren was sleeping soundly when he was suddenly awakened by something hanging around his neck.

On his neck was a knife that reflected light in the moonlight. After seeing the situation in front of him clearly, he said calmly,
"Who are you? Why did you break into my house without permission?"

"Are you Dong Zhongren, the Imperial Academy's sacrificial wine drinker?"

The superiors asked them to invite those who could read back. When these people thought about it, who had the skills to teach scholars?

The scholars who came out of the Imperial Academy's Jijiu Cult were all high-ranking officials, so they decided to hire the most powerful ones directly.

"It's true that I am Dong Zhongren, but now I am no longer the Imperial Academy's sacrificial wine."

The man in black frowned, "What do you mean?"

Dong Zhongren nodded. He really didn't understand when he had offended someone and broke into his house at night.

"I was deposed by the new emperor a few months ago."

Just because he said on the spot that the people were in poverty and it was not appropriate to recruit troops.

"Okay, okay, since you have been a priest in the Imperial College, that's fine. We are here today to ask you to teach people to read and be officials. Are you willing to come with us?"

Even though Dong Zhongren had a calm mind, he was still made to twitch by this tall and thick man in black.

Is this how you invite people?Breaking into someone else's house at night and inviting them with a sword?
Thinking of the young and old at home, Dong Zhongren held back his thoughts and said, "You invite people, but you don't even tell me who you are. How can I agree?"

The man in black scratched his head and looked around, "Didn't I say that?"

The two people on the left and right shook their heads, "Brother, it seems I didn't say anything."

The man in black said to Dong Zhongren embarrassedly, "Maybe I forgot, but let me tell you now. Our boss is a wealthy family in the north and wants to hire someone to teach the children to read."

As soon as he heard it, he knew that he was not a serious family. Otherwise, how could he use a sword to invite people?And the north side, isn’t that a land of bandits?

The man in black said again: "Don't worry, our employer is very generous. If you are willing to teach with us, we can give you 50 taels of silver per month."

Oh, 50 taels is really a lot. Based on his current salary, it only amounts to more than [-] taels per month. But now that he has been dismissed, naturally he has no salary.

Seeing that Dong Zhongren was silent, the man in black thought that he was unwilling and said hurriedly: "100 taels! This is the highest price. 100 taels of silver a month is a good thing that you can't find even with a lantern."

Is this a matter of money?Dong Zhongren really didn't know whether the man in black in front of him was really stupid or just pretending to be stupid.
