Ji Yanran and Ba Chou had both heard Fangzheng introduce his "school" before, but even so, the most they could imagine was that it was similar to the courtyard of a large family.
But now... it was basically a city!!
"Most of the residents here fled here because of the war. They are now living here. Young children go to school here and learn all kinds of knowledge. We have a timetable. They have to learn certain subjects from morning to night. At other times, depending on the situation, they can form clubs.... "
Fangzheng accompanied the two as they walked and introduced the place. In fact, Fangzheng's school was basically an ancient version of a school city. His timetable was basically based on modern schools. In addition to basic knowledge, students could also form clubs to learn about astronomy, geography, medicine, music, and other hobbies.
The teachers were naturally invited by Fangzheng from all over the world. Apart from scholars like Ba Chou, there were also some women Fangzheng bought from various official houses.
Although the world always looked down on official women, to be honest, the women of the official houses could be regarded as a group of people with the highest level of education in this world. First of all, most of the women in the official houses were criminals or women from large families. They had received very good education since they were young. Secondly, the people the official houses received were not peddlers, but high-ranking officials and even foreign envoys.
In modern terms, the women in the official houses were actually the hostesses of Ginza. Even though they were all in the service industry, the people they met were the presidents of big companies, elites, white-collar workers, and the like. They were on a completely different level from the KTV hostesses who could only hang out with gangsters or nouveau riche.
Hostesses in Ginza not only had to be well-versed in English, but they also had to read all kinds of political and economic newspapers in advance every day. They had to be well-versed in the ways of various industries. Only then would they be able to strike up a conversation with their partners while they were drinking. Otherwise, even if they were bragging, they would not be able to hit the nail on the head.
It was the same for the women in the ancient court. Not only were they proficient in the four arts, but they also had a very unique and in-depth understanding of politics, economics, and connections.
This was also very normal. After all, if a certain person hugged a female official in his arms and then shouted, "Even if XX came in person, I wouldn't put her in my eyes." If this person was a natural idiot who didn't know anything, it was natural that he was just flirting with a blind person and wouldn't have any reaction. On the other hand, if one were to exclaim, "This XX is the favorite student of the King's favorite minister. I heard that even the current King thinks highly of him. Young Master, you're actually not afraid of him?"
Then, the other party could naturally continue boasting.
Therefore, no matter which profession it was, it would take a lot of time and effort to reach the top. Therefore, these maidservants became Fangzheng's main force in Xiao Yao Palace. They were good at cultivating manners, reading, writing, and the four arts. These were all necessary for the children. After all, no one knew better than these court ladies how to make a woman popular and how to attract a man's attention.
Ji Yanran and Ba Chou did not know much about the situation, but seeing the scene in front of them, they felt very emotional. But soon, Ji Yanran slightly frowned and looked at Fangzheng.
"Young Master Fang, please forgive Yanran's stupidity. Why don't I see any guards in this city?"
This question had been in Ji Yanran's mind since she entered the city. Normally, there would be people checking at the entrance and exit of a city. But here, there were no soldiers with weapons. Even on the streets, there were no signs of any troops. This made Ji Yanran very confused and puzzled.
Ba Chou, the bookworm, obviously didn't think so much. Hearing this, he just laughed.
"Zhuangzi once said that in the most virtuous world, there are no thoughts in life, no worries in action, and no hiding right or wrong, beauty or evil. There is an abundance of wealth without knowing where it comes from. There is an abundance of food without knowing where it comes from. Now, this free and unfettered land has the feeling of the most virtuous world. "
"Young Master Ba, you are wrong."
Hearing this, Fangzheng chuckled.
"The most virtuous world is just an ideal. It is normal for Master Ji to have doubts. Young Master Ba, perhaps you don't know, but the people here are all refugees who lost their homes because of the war. Although the refugees are pitiful, it doesn't mean that there are no bad people among them. People like them may look no different from others when they are homeless, but once they settle down, they will show their ugly side and give people a headache. "
"Exactly."
Ji Yanran nodded.
"That's why I am quite surprised that I don't see any troops … How many generals does Young Master Fang have? Can they handle this kind of trouble? "
"Generals … If you want to talk about generals, I don't have a single one."
"… Eh?!"
Hearing this, Ji Yanran and Ba Chou were stunned.
"Such a big city, but there are no generals of Young Master Fang?"
"Yes, that's right. Strictly speaking, this city is man-made by me, so there is only me. The others are all refugees and people I brought here."
"Young Master Fang, please don't joke like this."
This time, Ba Chou couldn't laugh anymore. Although this person was a science nerd, he wasn't an idiot who didn't understand the ways of the world.
"There are so many affairs in a city, if there are no trustworthy generals, how can they be handled?"
"I don't have that many people at the moment, so I have left the specific affairs to some capable people. As for the other aspects … I have my own arrangements."
"Have your own arrangements?"
"Robbing!!!"
Just as the two were puzzled, suddenly, a scream rang out. Everyone looked towards the source of the sound, only to see a man in ragged clothes running desperately on the street with a bag in his hand. But at this moment, two teenagers suddenly dashed out from the crowd and blocked in front of him.
"Stop right now!"
"Get lost, kiddo!!"
Facing the two teenagers, the refugee obviously didn't care about them. He held the bag in one hand while brandishing the long sword in the other. Facing this refugee, the two youths raised the long rods in their hands and swung them down forcefully. The two teenagers cooperated with each other, one in front and one behind, exerting force at the same time. The teenager in front struck the refugee's wrist with his stick, causing the refugee to throw away the long sword in his hand in pain. The teenager took the opportunity to strike the refugee's knee, knocking him to the ground.
"This is … ….?"
Ji Yanran was well-versed in both the pen and the sword, naturally it wasn't just for show. With her eyesight, she could obviously tell that the two teenagers were using a very unique type of stick technique.
"This is a place for learning, so most of the time, we let the students manage themselves, and they are one of them."
Since it was a copy of the school city, he might as well copy the whole thing. Thus, Fangzheng naturally copied the "Discipline Committee" system.
Seeing that they had subdued the criminal, the two teenagers excitedly walked over and attempted to capture him. But at this moment, Ji Yanran frowned.
"Not good!"
Before her voice faded, the guy who was crying on the ground suddenly kicked away the teenager who was about to capture him. Then, he jumped up and tied up a girl beside him. Then, he took out a dagger from god knows where and held it against the girl's neck. The girl was so frightened that she started crying loudly.
"Kids are just kids, after all."
Ji Yanran frowned and shook her head. She looked at Fangzheng, but Fangzheng just chuckled.
"Don't worry, Grand Master Ji. What I said before was to let the students manage themselves most of the time, but in this situation … … I've already prepared for it."
"— — — — —!!!"
Just as Ji Yanran and Ba Chou were puzzled by Fangzheng's words, suddenly, a bird's cry rang out, followed by a roar. A huge golden-eyed white-fronted tiger suddenly rushed out from the bushes on the side of the street. It slapped the unlucky fool to the ground, then stepped on him. When the refugee saw the huge tiger, he was so scared that his legs turned to jelly, and he didn't move.
As for the onlookers, they didn't seem surprised at all. The girl who was originally captured also happily ran to the tiger and hugged it. The tiger also rubbed the little girl's face affectionately.
Seeing this, Ji Yanran and Ba Chou were stunned.
Fangzheng just chuckled and shrugged his shoulders.
"See, I said it's not a problem."
After being pounced on by the tiger, the guy no longer had the strength to resist, and was quickly dragged away by the two youths. After all, he couldn't even stand properly with such a big tiger in front of him!
If the tiger hadn't been merciful, that slap would have smashed his brains out.
"What will happen to that guy?"
Seeing the wailing guy being dragged away, Ba Chou couldn't help but ask. Fangzheng pondered for a moment.
"Street robbery, sentenced to ten years. He'll probably spend the rest of his life in the mines. Of course, if he performs well, his sentence will be reduced. As for the rest, don't even think about it … … Oh, right, the overseers are a pack of wolves. I don't think they'll be stupid enough to feed themselves to the wolves. "
"Young Master Fang's actions have really broadened Yanran's horizons … …"
At this moment, Ji Yanran was also speechless, while Fangzheng just chuckled.
"How is it? Does Grand Master Ji understand now? I don't expect everyone who comes here to have good self-management skills. But, I have my own way of dealing with it. I've already answered Grand Master Ji that there's indeed no one in this city who is my family warrior, but wolves, tigers, and leopards are more obedient than humans. Not only that, their ears and eyes are also much more sensitive than humans. If someone wants to do something bad here … … "
Saying this, Fangzheng blinked his eyes.
"Then he'll definitely regret it."
