Chapter 390

After Yu Junting left Tongren Province, Yu Laosan and Yu Laosan were sent to Gedore by Ye Xiaotian. Zhang Yutong, as a new official, had not officially taken up his post yet. He had to wait for the imperial edict to be issued before he could take charge of the affairs. Thus, Tongren entered a rare period of peace.

The Taoist temple under construction had already entered the final stage. However, Taoist Chang Feng, who was once famous in Tongren, had already fled with his tail between his legs. This Taoist temple had become the focus of the Taoist priests in Tongren.

Although Yu Junting was not in Tongren, there were still many Taoist priests visiting the Yu family. They all wanted to become the owner of this grand Taoist temple. However, perhaps because they had received orders from Yu Junting beforehand, all the Taoist priests were denied entry.

At the same time, the Taoist temple, which had already entered the final stage, only needed to be painted and redecorated. However, some parts of the temple were demolished and rebuilt. Some attentive people discovered that the parts that were demolished and rebuilt were places that had a distinct Taoist temple style. This huge Taoist temple was likely to be used for other purposes.

Ye Xiaotian did not care about these things. His civil school and martial arts group did not stop building despite the series of storms. At this time, they had already officially started operating. Children of suitable age selected from Gedore's village, as well as children from Tongren City who volunteered to enroll in the civil school and martial arts group, had already entered the civil school and martial arts group according to their wishes.

Grand Elder Ye, who was also the principal of the civil school and the president of the martial arts group, had frequently appeared at the civil school and martial arts group these two days. When teaching had just started, there would always be some problems that had not been considered beforehand. With him around, whether it was financial or material difficulties, they could all be solved quickly.

In the martial arts group, inside the Guan Di Temple. Looking up at Second Brother Guan, who was stroking his long beard and holding a sword in one hand, standing majestically on the altar, Ye Xiaotian said, "Lao Mao, Yunfei, you have seen the civil school and martial arts group. What do you think?"

Mao Wenzhi rushed to answer, "Very good, very imposing! Those children are also very obedient. "

Ye Xiaotian smiled and said, "I plan to let you and Yunfei work in the civil school and martial arts group respectively. What do you think?"

Hua Yunfei was slightly startled but he did not speak. Instead, Mao Wenzhi could not help saying, "Ah? You want us to work in the school? This … I'm illiterate and I don't know martial arts. It's not appropriate for me to be a scholar or a martial artist. What can I do?

Ye Xiaotian laughed and said, "In the literary school, there will be teachers who will educate the students with their words and actions, so that the sincere will be enlightened, the muddle-headed will be encouraged, and the stubborn will be reformed. In the Martial Group, there are also martial masters who will impart martial arts to you. All you have to do is to be a supervisor! "

"Wu," Mao Wenzhi, "Mao Wenzhi". "Mao … what?"

"Mao" Ye is Mao, Guan Mao "s Ye, Ye, said. Ye Mao, Ye and said, Ye Ye. Ye Ye.

As soon as Mao Wenzhi heard this, his face turned bitter. "What's the point?" Didn't Big Bro say you will find me a job in the yamen? I've already told Little Miss Ye, and she's also very happy. Why is she suddenly being transferred to learn how to be a traitor … "

Ye Xiaotian shook his head and said, "You fool. I want you to go to the civil school because I trust you. But it is also because it is a good job! That's why I'm giving it to you. If you don't want it, don't come back and beg me when Little Miss Ye gets angry at you for not knowing what's good for you! "

Hua Yunfei remembered that Ye Xiaotian had already decreed that from next year onwards, all the tribes in the mountains would have to follow the example of the Gedorao tribe. They would choose the children of the tribal chiefs to leave the mountains and enter the civil and martial schools to learn. Then, he remembered that Ye Xiaotian was gradually pushing for more seedlings to leave the mountains. He immediately understood the significance of this.

Hua Yunfei immediately said, "I will do it!"

Mao Wenzhi looked at Hua Yunfei and saw his face flushed with excitement. He immediately said, "Then I will do it too! Big Bro is still thinking about me! Who cares if it is a traitor, I will do it! Although I am a little unreliable, I am very obedient. Whatever Big Bro says, I will do it! "

Ye Xiaotian smiled and said, "Good! Then from today on, the two of you will go to the civil school and the martial school respectively. Mao will stay in the civil school and Yunfei will go to the martial school. This way, you can settle down and wait until the end of the year to get married. Then you can make time to have a baby son, haha … "

When Ye Xiaotian finished, he looked at Hua Yunfei and said, "Your archery skills are superb. It is a waste to just be a supervisor. At the same time, you can be an archery instructor. Not only will you teach in the martial school, but you will also teach in the civil school. The art of archery will be learned by the children who study the civil school!"

Hua Yunfei said, "Big Bro, don't worry! I will do my best! "

Nodding his head, Ye Xiaotian took out three sticks of incense and lit them. Bowing to the statue of Guan Yu three times, he placed the incense sticks into the burner and walked out.

As soon as Ye Xiaotian stepped out of the temple, Mao Wenzhi came up to him and said to Hua Yunfei, "Yunfei, tell me quickly, what are the benefits of bringing a bunch of brats to the school?"

Hua Yunfei laughed, "Mao Wenzhi, do you remember when we went to the civil school, big bro brought us to the Dong River Shrine?"

Mao Wenzhi said, "I remember. I thought it was because of the Dong River in front of our door, so we built a shrine to honor the Dragon King. But from what big bro said, it seems like it's to commemorate a certain mister?"

Hua Yunfei smiled, "It's Mister Dong River! Mister Dong River is the title of a person. His name is Lu Xiufu, a famous loyal minister of the Song Dynasty. Take a look, what kind of temple is built in this school? "

Mao Wenzhi said, "The Guan Yu Temple, Second Master Guan, I know that!"

Hua Yunfei said, "Since ancient times, there have been many brave generals who were not inferior to Second Master Guan. Why did they only build a temple for Second Master Guan? It's because everyone knows of his loyalty. And that Mister Dong River is also famous for his loyalty! "

Mao Wenzhi blinked his eyes and said blankly, "So what?"

Hua Yunfei pretended to be mysterious and said, "No matter if it's the students from Tongren or the children of the tribal chiefs sent from the mountains, in this civil and martial school, ability is secondary. The most important thing is for them to learn loyalty and righteousness!

Loyalty to whom? Loyalty to whom? The students who graduate from here, what kind of people will they become in the future? We are the supervisors here, so we are their teachers. Although Guizhou values martial arts, it doesn't matter if it's civil or military, we still respect the teachers. When the time comes … hehe! "

Mao Wenzhi blinked his eyes again and said blankly, "So what?"

Hua Yunfei opened his mouth and said weakly, "Old Mao, you're not young anymore. After you get married at the end of the year, you should be more diligent and have a fat son. It's not too late …"

Mao Wenzhi said, "You don't have to worry about this. Maybe I'll have a fat son before I get married. Haha … Don't beat around the bush. Hurry up and tell me, what are the benefits of bringing a bunch of brats to school? "

Hua Yunfei: "…"

…

While Ye Xiaotian was leisurely touring around Tongren City, training his "Emperor's Disciples", the Emperor of the Great Ming Dynasty in the Forbidden City was dealing with state affairs in the Golden Throne Room.

Today's news was basically all good. At the beginning of the year, the soldiers of Sichuan's Jianwu Institute were arrogant and disobeyed the rules. They demanded monthly rations in advance. Commander-in-chief Shen Sixue was furious and used forceful methods to suppress them. As a result, a mutiny broke out.

The rebels burned down the Commander-in-chief's office and Shen Sixue escaped with injuries. The Inspector of Sichuan, Lao Zun, did not succeed in suppressing the rebellion and urgently reported to the court. Emperor Wanli had no choice but to send elite troops into Sichuan to suppress the rebellion. Although there were not many rebels, it was difficult to exterminate them due to the steep mountains. It was only now that the rebellion subsided.

Hearing this, Wanli's expression softened and he issued an order: "Commander-in-chief Shen Sixue is still in the capital waiting to be consulted? Remove his name from the people! Behead the leader of the arresting army, Fan Tailong, Li De, and 12 others. Spread the news to all the troops as a warning to others. The rest of the rebels are to be sent to the Northern Frontier and are never allowed to return! "

Shen Shixing took the opportunity to report another good news: "Yes! I also have a memorial. Previously, the leader of the Duoyan Sanwei, Tai Ning, led his troops to capture Shenyang and other places. When he attacked Kaiyuan and Tieling, he was defeated by Li Chengliang. Following that, there was Deng from the west who captured Liaoning and Shenyang. He was also defeated by Li Chengliang! "

This was another good news and Emperor Wanli's expression became even better. He immediately issued an order to commend them. Seeing that the Emperor was in a good mood, Shen Shixing immediately took out his secret memorial and said: "Your Majesty, I have another one. In the mountains of Guizhou, there have been mountain people living there since ancient times. For thousands of years, they did not care about the changes in the world. They did not rebel or obey, they lived and died on their own.

But now, there are mountain people coming out of the mountains, willing to follow the Emperor's teachings. They are registered and are under the control of the government. The magistrate of Tongren, Zhang Duo, sent Prefect Ye Xiaotian to pacify them. Prefect Ye treated the mountain people well and was loved by them. Therefore, the five mountain people who came out of the mountains elected him as their leader.

With His Majesty taking over the government and the mountain people submitting to him, it is a great joy. Tongren was originally under the rule of a chieftain, there are more local officials than lower officials. This Ye Xiaotian is from the capital, a lower official in Tongren, unexpectedly he is supported by the mountain people and is willing to make him a chieftain. Based on Prefect Ye's background, if he becomes a chieftain, his heart will be loyal to the imperial court and will be grateful to Your Majesty. "

"Oh?" Emperor Wanli thought for a moment and asked: "What does the ministers think?"

The Shaanxi Patrol Imperial Censor Li Boxian came out and reported: "I think that the border officials should be chosen carefully. Once a chieftain is appointed, it will be hereditary, it will not be easy for ten thousand years, we should be especially careful. This Ye Xiaotian's character and ability are still unknown, it is not appropriate to rashly appoint him. "

The Zhejiang Imperial Censor Gong Maoxian came out and retorted: "What you said is absurd! There are five things in this world: Your Majesty can rely on few confidants, few foreign and foreign troops, few common people's wealth, few scholars' opinions on justice, and few people's ability to manage the world.

The current local officials in Guizhou are all important officials from the Han and Tang Dynasties, their inheritance has been passed down for at least several hundred years, at most thousands of years. No matter what happens in the Central Plains, although they are vassals, it is difficult to say that they are loyal. But Prefect Ye is different, he is from the capital, originally he was a lower official. Now that the mountain people are willing to serve him as their master, Your Majesty should follow the will of the people. This Prefect Ye will be grateful to Your Majesty's kindness, he will be loyal to Your Majesty! "

Li Boxian coldly said: "What you said is only speculation, how can it be based on evidence? How can you appoint a thousand year chieftain for a common people without careful consideration? "

Shen Shixing coughed and said: "This Prefect Ye used to be the Gourd County's Warden, the County Magistrate. In Gourd County, he solved a great drought, wiped out the mountain bandits who have been entrenched in the area for many years, cracked down on smuggling, corruption and other cases; he can be considered a capable official.

After this Prefect Magistrate was appointed to Tongren, together with the local virtuous and virtuous gentry, he established a Yi Yuan, set up a martial competition, and taught students to serve the country. Cultivating literature and teaching martial arts, on the surface they are two different things, but in essence they belong to the administration of culture, the way of education. Therefore, this official thinks that he should be conferred a title, to avoid hurting the heart of a loyal official! "

Li Boxing only came out to play along and sing a different tune; besides, Grand Secretary Shen's position was high, his words were persuasive; therefore, listening to this point, he only smiled faintly and did not refute; he retreated back to his class.

Wanli swept his gaze over the crowd of officials; seeing that the other officials did not have any objection, he said, "In that case, summon this Prefect Ye to the capital to see the Emperor. After the memorial is submitted, confer the title of Tushi!" Personally summoned by the Emperor and conferred a title, this could be considered a different kind of disciple of the Emperor.
