I, the ninth grade county magistrate, scare the empress to tears at the beginning!

Chapter 10: If we can get help from this person, why should the world be unhappy?
"Sister Youruo, keep talking, I still want to hear."

Ning Youruo nodded with a smile and continued: "I have occasionally heard other people mention it. It seems that my husband was very powerful back then. At a young age, he had already passed the Qingyun Trial and entered the palace exam. He has a bright future and a lot to do."

"I should have furthered my studies in the Hanlin Academy, and was expected to enter the cabinet in the future, but it's a pity..."

"What's a pity? What did Mr. Lu do?"

Jiang Linglong was extremely curious, why hadn't she heard of this?
Logically speaking, a talent like Lu Yuan should have some records.

"It's a pity that my husband made several remarks and finally angered the emperor. He was demoted to this place and no one cares about it..."

"What did Mr. Lu say?"

"I don't know the specifics. I'm afraid only the officials and the emperor at the time, as well as the husband himself, know. If you want to know, ask him yourself after he comes out of seclusion. He is very easy to get along with." Ning Youruo shook his head.

"On the contrary, my husband's talent in martial arts surprised me. When my father and I came here, my husband had a lot of hidden diseases in his body. My father said that it was difficult to cure with medicine and stone, but in the end he miraculously recovered. And that After that, Xianggong’s cultivation began to improve by leaps and bounds. In just 20 years, he had become a great master..."

"I was just a weak woman before, but under the guidance of your father-in-law, I have become as strong as I am now."

Speaking of this, she was quite proud.

Jiang Linglong blinked her beautiful eyes and thought to herself, this Lu Yuan's life sounds really legendary.

He became a Grandmaster in 20 years. This speed is unparalleled by many people in the world.

Even those legends reached this stage when they were 80 or [-] years old.

She herself, a self-proclaimed prodigy, started practicing martial arts at the age of six, and was born a genius at the age of 17. She was unable to reach the level of a grand master in the next nine years.

The difficulty of martial arts is as difficult as climbing to the sky. Every great realm is a natural chasm, and the difficulty of breaking through will increase exponentially.

But it just so happened that he was such a peerless genius.

Why did his father demote him to this place?

What on earth did he say back then?
"I'm afraid he has some complaints against Da Zhou in his heart."

"Otherwise, it is impossible for the Grand Master's strength not to be aware of the changes in the outside world and remain indifferent."

"I'm afraid he has longed to see the overthrow of the Great Zhou Dynasty..."

Lu Yuan is still popular among the people here, and they cannot go beyond Lu Yuan to gather troops.

In this case, the difficulty for her to convince Lu Yuan would undoubtedly increase greatly.

Thinking of this, Jiang Linglong couldn't help but sigh in her heart. This was getting more and more difficult than she imagined.

at this time.

There was a commotion on the ancient street below the teahouse.

Jiang Linglong looked down following the sound, and saw only boys who were no more than ten years old, holding swords in their hands, marching forward in unison with steady steps and neat formation.

There are only 30 people, and their momentum is so strong that even some armies cannot match it.

The key point is that these children are young and have strong energy and blood. They are not comparable to ordinary children, and they are not weak in strength.

"Sister Youruo, this is..."

Jiang Linglong was shocked in her heart and asked.

"Oh, they are the children from the nearby academy. After my husband came here, the court stopped everything here. The boys in Cangyun County were unable to participate in the Qingyun Trial, so my husband could only open an academy in the county. No. Get a penny and send people to teach them for free, so that they can advance both civilized and military."

"There must be about a dozen academies in the entire county, with tens of thousands of students. Judging from their clothes, they should be students from Zhulu Academy, but looking at them, it seems like something happened."

"More than a dozen academies? Not even a penny? Sister, didn't you say before that the imperial court didn't have any money? Where did the money come from to build so many academies and buildings in the county government?" Jiang Linglong couldn't help but ask. Doubts in my heart.

She had never seen it without taking a penny.

Being poor in literature and rich in martial arts is also a relative term.

Composition writing also requires resources. Not to mention books and teachers, no one can afford time alone. If everyone is studying composition, how much burden will the family bear?
She had personally experienced the Qingyun Trial Palace Examination and knew that it was not easy for these candidates.

At this moment, Lu Yuan is responsible for it alone...

This emptied her small coffers, and she could only barely survive for a few years, 20 consecutive years, which is unimaginable.

"It seems that my sister has been living in a boudoir for a long time and doesn't understand many things." Ning Youruo said without mercy, making Jiang Linglong blush a little. She had read thousands of books, so why did she look so ignorant.

"My husband was actually very poor at first. He only wore cloth for a few years. Later, he defeated the powerful families and wiped out the bandits and bandits. He returned all the money to the people and used it to improve people's lives and redistribute the land. , prohibit private annexation and occupation, and without aristocratic families, bandits and natural and man-made disasters, the people's lives will naturally become easier."

"The people were grateful for the good deeds of my husband, and they took the initiative to pay a lot of grain every year. Later, my husband took them to reclaim the wasteland in the mountains, and the place gradually recovered. Regardless of the value of the things in the county government, they were actually dug out of the mountains and built by the people spontaneously. It’s not mutual consent.”

"My husband had no choice but to build an academy so that everyone could study and practice martial arts. Gradually, it developed into what it is now."

"What the people want is actually very simple, nothing more than food and clothing. Many people like the life here. They have no desires and demands, no fighting or grabbing, and live and work in peace and contentment."

After listening to Ning Youruo's words, Jiang Linglong couldn't help but admire Lu Yuan. This person can really be called a great talent in the world. If she had such a person to help her, why would the world be unhappy?
Could it be that it was because of these comments that Lu Yuan was demoted in the first place?

Yes, this matter sounds beneficial to the country and the people, but it undoubtedly touches the interests of the noble families...

The father was probably helpless.

If it were me, I'm afraid I would have to think twice.

She asked again: "So, doesn't everyone here have soldiers?"

But she was secretly happy in her heart. If this was true, then Lu Yuan would really have done her a big favor.

As long as Lu Yuan is persuaded and millions of people from this area are summoned, they will be able to form an army with good foundation. With these foundations, the training time will be greatly shortened and the combat power will not be weak at all.

Of course, the premise of all this depends on Lu Yuan's intention.

From Ning Youruo's words, she felt that Lu Yuan was a good person. It shouldn't be difficult for her to be moved by emotion and reason, and persuade Lu Yuan, the great master, to help her train troops and regain the Great Zhou Dynasty, right?
"Not really. After all, this place has been stable for 20 years. No one cares about it. There are no disputes. Everyone practices martial arts just to strengthen their body."

"It's just that now, the world is getting chaotic. I don't know how many more years of stability we can live here."

As soon as Ning Youruo finished speaking, he saw a maid coming in a hurry. Seeing Ning Youruo, she quickly stepped forward and whispered in a low voice.

"I see."

Ning Youruo nodded and waved away the maid.

"Sister Youruo, what happened?"

Jiang Linglong asked, thinking of the pursuers from before.

"It's nothing serious. Don't worry. The outside world is not peaceful right now. I guess you know that there are a lot of desperate refugees coming here from time to time every day. In addition to refugees, there are also some troublemakers."

"No, something happened in the Great Zhou Dynasty, and all the princes were rebellious. The magistrate of the nearby county had recently surrendered to the King of Liang. He was trying to recruit troops for the King of Liang and was hunting strong men everywhere. He just happened to find this place. He was outside the city. Woolen cloth."

Ning You Ruoyun said calmly.

"Well, these children from Zhulu Academy are here to drive them away."

Jiang Linglong couldn't help but be stunned, looking at the young figure gradually disappearing at the end of the street, and said in surprise: "Huh? Them?"
