Early the next morning, a group of reserve officials were sent to Xingluo City from the other side by Wuya boat.

For the imperial court, from the thirteenth year of the great cause, the county school has been opened, to now, the first batch of county students have been recognized by the Tsinghua School Palace and the school, under the imperial court, were arranged to the Tsinghua School Palace to continue their studies, but most of the people are assigned to the counties as small officials, accumulate governing experience, according to Yang Tong's ideas, the future will also set up a county school, after three years of study in the county school, students will go to the county school to study, and finally the best to study in the Tsinghua Palace, but only one Tsinghua Palace is obviously not enough, At least one university should be set up in Zhuo County, Daxing, Luoyang, Jiangdu, Xiangyang, and Shu County for students from all over the world to further their studies.

It took him five years to improve the township school and the county school, and it would take at least ten years or more to completely erect the entire education system.

There are more than 8,000 students who have graduated from the county school, which sounds like a lot, but among them are scholars in engineering, agriculture, commerce, law, and military, as well as scholars who are purely academic, and most of these people have joined the Ministry of Civil Affairs, the Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of Commerce, the Ministry of Criminal Affairs, the Imperial Department, the School Department, and the Ministry of War, and there are only about 2,800 people who manage the talents of the Ministry of Officials.

For Yang Tong, these people are enough for him to fill the shortage of officials in the Central Plains, but if it is enlarged to the whole country, it is far from enough.

"Holy Lord, the children of the family are indispensable, we can first attract a group of children of small and medium-sized families for my use... and then assign them to irrelevant worlds..."Seeing that Yang Tong was worried about grassroots talents, Fang Xuanling, who was sitting under him, couldn't help but suggest.

This time the Central Plains War! In addition to Yang Gongren, Wei Yunqi, Kong Yingda, Liu Zhenghui, Jiang Xingben and Qisiqing in the three servants shooting the nine Shangshu, Yang Shanhui and Li Jing, the secretary of the military department, went to Jiangjun and Guanzhong respectively to preside over the war

Xuan Ling, the secretary of the Ministry of Officials, Yang Shidao, the secretary of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, Wei Zheng, the secretary of the Criminal Department, Pei Renji, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, Ling Jing, the secretary of the Ministry of Commerce, and Du Ruhui, the squire of the Ministry of War, all went out with the king, and Yang Tong's strategist group can be described as a strong lineup and luxurious.

"The Maison definitely wants to use it, but not now." Yang Tong put down the official document and rubbed his temples: "Our Great Sui represents the interests of the poor and ordinary people, which is the foundation of our foothold and the foundation of the world. In this way, the absolute credibility of the government was ensured, and at the same time the majesty of the law was established, which was not to be touched! ”

Governing the country according to law, this is the core rule of Yang Dong's forces, and it is also the soul of Yang Dong's forces, and the reason why it can have a strong cohesion in Jizhou, Youzhou, Bingzhou, Yongliang and even the Western Regions is because Yang Dong's government has a strong credibility among the people, which is the bottom line that cannot be touched.

The family can't be destroyed, even if these big families collapse now, there will be in the future. Yang Tong also allows them to exist, but they must be constrained by the law, and like the five surnames Qiwang, Dugu Clan, and Dou Clan, a big family that can shake the foundation of the country, Yang Tong will definitely not compromise, otherwise, everything he has done before will lose all meaning, and in the future, even if he wins the whole world, it is still an unbreakable circle, what is the difference between it and the period of the Second Emperor of Wenwu?

"It's just that the Central Plains has always been the world of the Kanto family, and if our people want to gain a firm foothold, I'm afraid it's not easy." Wei Zheng sighed.

Under normal circumstances, Wei Zheng will not easily express his position, after five years of promotion and implementation, the investment cost of the legal system is more amazing than the investment in the rule of virtue, but the achievements are equally amazing, even Wei Zheng did not expect such an effect, unceremoniously said, as long as Yang Tong is still alive, even if the Central Plains are not obtained in this battle, but the princes of the world do not have a million army and twenty years of struggle, it is absolutely impossible to occupy Yang Dong's territory.

"It's okay! We still have the imperial examination......" Yang Tong leaned back on the chair, his fingers lightly tapped the armrest, and said with a smile: "Now the situation is getting clearer and clearer, which can be seen from the number and quality of students who participate in the scientific examination every day, and the prestige of my Great Sui is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. ”

"There are also the unsung heroes of the Black Ice Platform, they are all literate, all shrewd and capable, they have paid blood and sweat for the great cause of the unification of the Great Sui, and I can't treat them badly. When the world is peaceful, they can live in the sun. ”

"Holy Wisdom! The soldiers of the Black Ice Terrace should not live in the shadows for the rest of their lives. Ling Jing saluted.

"Enlighten the Holy Lord!" At this moment, a guard rushed from outside, presented a letter with both hands, and saluted: "The Xingyang army has caught a passenger ship from Chenliu on the canal, and there is a scribe on it, saying that there is something important to ask to see the saint, and let us give this letter to the saint." ”

Yang Tong took out the letter and looked at it and asked, "Where are the people?" ”

"Back to the saint, the person has been taken to the military camp five miles away, and is guarded by the Xiaoguo army brothers."

"Bring him to me."

"Whoa."

After the soldiers retreated, Yang Tong smiled at Fang Xuanling and asked, "Xuanling, Li Mi sent his Shangshu to ask Fang Xuanzao to see, what is the origin of this person?" What is the relationship with you? ”

The Fang family is quite famous in Qi County, from the Sixteen Kingdoms to the present, more than 200 years, the Fang family in Licheng of Qi County has been an official in politics, Fang Xuanling's ancestor has been the Taishou of Qi County and Pingyuan County, and his great-grandfather was the Taishou of the Song State of the Southern Dynasty, and his grandfather started from the state master book, and also did the Taishou.

When Fang Xuanling's father, Fang Yanqian, he married the daughter of the Li family in Longxi, a top scholar, and gave birth to his only son, Fang Xuanling. When he was young, he served as the king of Guangning in the Northern Qi Dynasty, and after the fall of the Northern Qi Dynasty, he also recovered the Northern Qi Dynasty with his relatives and friends, but he was unsuccessful. In the end, he was recruited by the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and when he arrived in the Sui Dynasty, he did enter Beijing as the imperial history, and moved to Daxing with his wife.

"He's a brother of the Weichen clan!" Fang Xuanling bowed and sighed long: "It's just that he is different from Weichen Dao, he has always disapproved of the Great Sui, and wants to assist the heroes of the Northern Qi Dynasty to build a new empire." ”

Yang Tong nodded, indicating understanding.

The Great Sui Dynasty was a continuation of the Northern Zhou Dynasty established by the Guanlong forces, and families like the Fang family mainly served in the Northern Qi Dynasty, but because Emperor Wen was not properly seated and needed the support of the Guanlong group, more than ninety percent of the officials in the court came from the Guanlong forces, especially the army was almost controlled by the Guanlong forces.

Although Yang Guang vigorously supported the Shandong Shi clan against the Guanlong group, and did not hesitate to let two surnamed Pei appear in the five nobles, Yang Guang's ascension to the throne was very short after all, which made the power of the big families in the hometown of Northern Qi quite weak in the court, such as the Taiyuan Wang clan, Xingyang Zheng clan, Fanyang Lu clan, Qinghe Cui clan, and Boling Cui clan, basically no one was able to serve as a high-ranking official in the imperial court.

On the other hand, some families who were once loyal to the Northern Qi Dynasty were bloodbathed with the fall of the Northern Qi Dynasty, which caused the major famous families in the homeland of the Northern Qi Dynasty to suffer heavy losses and failed to recover for decades. Everyone is scattered among the people and has become a local hero.

Wang Bo, Shan Xiongxin, Xu Shiji, Zhai Rang, Wang Bodang, Huang Junhan, Qin Qiong, and Cheng Yanjin are representatives of the old forces of the Northern Qi Dynasty.

It's just that the emperor's distrust and the exclusion of the Guanlong group almost made these old families and scholars of the Northern Qi Dynasty have no place in the imperial court and local officials. This also made the families of the Northern Qi Dynasty generally dissatisfied with the Sui Dynasty.

Soon after the founding of the Sui Dynasty, the old forces of the Northern Qi Dynasty did not regard the Sui Dynasty as their mother country, and they did not have any sense of belonging to the Great Sui, and because they did not receive fair treatment, their dissatisfaction was further expanded, so when they became the biggest victims of the three expeditions to Goguryeo, they immediately rebelled, making the old land of the Northern Qi the most troublesome place in the world.

Fang Xuanling and Fang Xuanzao are talented, but the two brothers have taken completely different paths.

The former may not have looked down on the Great Sui before, and he resigned to find the master, but maybe he also didn't look down on Wang Bo, Zhai Rang, Xu Yuanlang, Lu Mingyue and others, and heard about Yang Tong's maverick, so he re-entered the court and took the initiative to come to this side. And Fang Xuanzao's choice was more intense, he participated in Yang Xuangan's rebellion, and was forced to flee after defeat, and then heard that the military advisor Li Mi had a foothold in Wagang, so he rushed to defect, Li Mi also knew that he was talented, and he had been treated as a confidant.

About half an hour later, there was a sound of footsteps outside, and the guards reported at the door, "The Holy One, the person has been brought!" ”

"Bring him in!"

The door opened, and a middle-aged scribe with an elegant temperament walked in from outside, and he couldn't help but look up at the most dazzling throne, only to see a heroic man wearing a dark imperial robe, wearing a purple and gold crown facing the sky, and his hair like ink jade sitting on the throne, and hurriedly bowed and bowed, "The book under the throne of Wei ordered Fang Xuanzao to see the saint!" ”

Li Mi's King of Wei was sealed by Yang Qi, and since then he has been calling himself the King of Wei, neither respecting Sui nor opposing Sui. Yang Tong had not yet ascended the throne at that time, so during that period of time, Yang Qi represented the orthodoxy of the Great Sui, and Yang Tong did not care about the false name of 'King of Wei': "It turned out to be Mr. Fang, please take a seat." ”

"The Holy Lord has destroyed foreign enemies outside the territory, greatly boosted the majesty of our clan, and the lower officials are happy and convinced! Today, you can see the face of the sky, and it is really unparalleled in the world, and the dragon and phoenix among the people. "Yang Tong's contributions to his clan will not be erased by anyone of insight, and Fang Xuanzao is no exception.

As soon as he entered the door, he was intimidated by Yang Tong's momentum of not being angry and arrogant, when he was in Daxing City, he was fortunate to see Yang Zhao several times, and he thought that Yang Dong was similar to his father. However, after seeing the real person, I found that Yang Tong was more like Yang Guang back then, not in terms of appearance, but the kind of imperial spirit, which Li Mi could not reach.

Li Mi also has the posture of a hero, but compared with Yang Tong who is like an ancient king, he can only be regarded as a hero of a domain, but Yang Dong dominates the world, which makes Fang Xuanzao frightened, is it Yang Dong who takes the world?

Yang Tong interrupted his train of thought and said, "I read Mr.'s letter, and Mr. said that he came to discuss important matters with me on the order of King Wei, but I don't know what Mr. is referring to when he talks about important things?" ”

Fang Xuanzao's letter actually didn't say anything, he just used it to test Yang Dong's attitude, if Yang Tong abandoned himself and ignored him, it would mean that Yang Dong disdained to have anything to do with Li Mi, so there was no need for him to bother. If he receives him normally, it means that he can sit down and talk about everything.

From the current point of view, Yang Tong does not care about the fact that Li Mi acted against thieves in the name of the King of Wei of the Great Sui, it can be seen that Yang Tong is not a pedantic king who covets false fame, but a pragmatic person who governs the country and values profits.

Of course, the practical benefit promised by yourself must make the other party tempted enough. Otherwise, there is nothing to talk about.

And as far as he knows, Yang Tong has always been a lion mouth-opening figure.
