Datang: Only by resisting the decree can we become stronger

"Oh, since you gave Youle one last year, but not Gao Yang, this Gao Yang has been grinding this matter by my side every day."

"It's almost making my ears callous!"

"I really have nothing to do with this girl."

Hearing what Li Shimin said, Li Qiu naturally obeyed.

……

After coming out of Chang'an City, Li Qiu rode directly to the Youzhou Xuanjia army camp outside the city.

He found Luo Liang and informed him of the imperial court's military order.

When he heard that he could finally return to his hometown of Youzhou, Luo Liang's expression also showed joy.

After all, he left his hometown and had been stationed in the ice and snow outside Chang'an, where the conditions were difficult, and he suffered a lot.

At this time, Li Qiu lowered his voice and told him very seriously: "After the army returns to Youzhou, remember not to relax your drill."

"The Youzhou Army, which focuses on law and order and guarding the city, and the Youzhou Xuanjia Army, which focuses on iron cavalry, must not be gradually confused."

"The strength and glory of the Youzhou Xuanjia Army must be maintained."

"This army, I want to make it the trump card of Youzhou and the trump card of Datang."

"Even in the long river of history, our Youzhou Xuanjia Army will become a famous iron cavalry!"

Hearing Li Qiu's words, Luo Liang also nodded solemnly in response.

"Besides, I will write you a letter to Zhang Yungu, Song You and Fan Xing."

"At the moment, the Youzhou Xuanjia Army's nearly 3 people are far from enough."

"You have to vigorously start recruiting and practicing like last year."

"Before next summer, we must increase the number of Youzhou Xuanjia Army to at least [-]!"

Upon hearing Li Qiu's words, Luo Liang was also taken aback.

"Sixty thousand?!"

"My lord, the refugees sent to our side this year are all old people, women and children."

"Those young men have already been conscripted by the imperial court."

"The nearly 5 people we recruited before have done everything we can."

"Now it's going to be a bit difficult to recruit another [-] elite soldiers."

"Besides, the Turks have surrendered to my Tang Dynasty, my lord..."

Before he finished speaking, Li Qiu told him with unquestionable eyes, "Execute the military order!"

"This matter, Zhang Yungu, Fan Xing, Song You, and you must do it for me!"

……

Two days later, the army led by Luo Liang finished gathering outside Chang'an City, not far from the Furong Garden.

Waiting for Li Qiu's order, he returned to Youzhou.

It has been almost half a year since they followed Li Qiu out of Youzhou.

Seeing that they can rush back to reunite with their families before the New Year's Eve, the soldiers are still quite excited and looking forward to it.

On the other hand, in Furong Garden, more than 200 children from Furong Academy are about to bid farewell.

The scene of this scene has been staged here three times.

If this group of them left, the current Furong Academy would have less than 300 people from the original 400 people.

Seeing that the time had come, this group of children dressed in the uniforms of Furong Academy and carrying simple bags bowed down respectfully to Li Qiu, Luo Kexin, Wu Jue, Ma Zhou, Sun Simiao and others.

"Student, please bid farewell to the dean and teachers."

"The rules of the academy, the students will remember them in their hearts."

"The teacher's teaching, the academy's kindness of nurturing, students will never forget."

Looking at the clear eyes of this group of children, their immature and extremely familiar faces.

Now that they are about to leave, including Li Qiu, there is a reluctance to part in their hearts.

In the blink of an eye, this group of children has lived together in this Furong Garden for several years.

They have also grown from the runny-nosed children to sensible and filial children.

Afterwards, Li Qiu, Ma Zhou, Sun Simiao and others helped the group of children to stand up and watched them line up in a neat line and leave one by one.

Under the rising sun, among the group of children, some people could not help but shed tears of parting and missing.

Especially some of the girls among them ran back reluctantly, and threw themselves in front of their most familiar teacher, Wu Jue, with tears streaming down their faces.

There are also more boys with tears in their eyes, and while sticking to the strength that belongs to men, they still can't help but look back again and again.

I want to take a last look at the home where I have lived for several years, and my eyes are full of lingering.

In the end, the group of children left.

It finally disappeared from everyone's sight.

At this moment, Ma Zhou, who had the shallowest tear ducts, was also blinded by the wind and sand.

The eye circles were red, and the tears couldn't help but squeeze down.

If you want to say that the person who has the most contact with these children in the entire Furong Garden is Ma Zhou.

As the general manager, he taught the children while taking care of their lives.

During this year's crisis, it was Ma Zhou who led them in person and built the extremely sturdy courtyard wall a few meters high bit by bit.

Together, they created those city defense equipment, rolling logs and rocks.

In the heart of Ma Zhou, who has not yet married a wife and had children, but is already quite old, these students are like his own children.

Don't look at Ma Zhou who disciplined this group of children the most strictly on weekdays, and even broke several rulers.

But the relationship between them is also the deepest.

Sticks make filial sons, strict teachers make good apprentices, and Ma Zhou is also for the good of the children.

However, before Ma Zhou felt lost for a few days because of the children's departure, the Furong Academy was full of voices and lively again.

There is no other reason, but because the Furong Academy issued an announcement to the entire Tang Dynasty to enroll students for the first time since the academy was built!

Three or four years ago, Li Qiu first took in those poor children, and then built the Furong Academy for them.

Now that a few years have passed, these children have gradually grown up, left the Furong Garden, and rushed to the next stage of their life.

There are only less than [-] students left in Furong Academy, and there are too many free resources.

In the past few years, Furong Academy has really changed from an inconspicuous private bookstore to a well-known existence in the entire Tang Dynasty.

Books, chess, tea, etc. produced under the name of Furong Academy are spread all over the country.

What an honor it would be if someone's children could enter the Furong Academy to read and write, and worship Peking King Li Qiu as their teacher?

What's more, there are now sensational rumors among the people.

That is, children who graduated from Furong Academy with both ability and political integrity, and excellent character and learning can directly cross the threshold controlled by the gentry.

He was able to directly serve as an official in 21 states including Youzhou under the rule of King Beiping.

This kind of rumor was undoubtedly a huge breakthrough for Datang, whose entire social resources and promotion channels were firmly controlled by the aristocratic class at that time.

Dimensionality reduction strike.

So as soon as we got this news, it can be said that the entire Tang Dynasty was in turmoil. Not to mention Chang'an City and its surrounding areas, even in Guanzhong, Shandong, and even in the Jiangnan area, parents rushed to Furong Garden with their children.

However, the public announcement of Furong Academy also clearly stated that this time the academy will enroll around 1000 students.

Between eight...12 years old.

Prioritize the orphans of the soldiers who died in the Tang Dynasty, then the children of the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, and finally consider others.

Each child will be interviewed and selected on the basis of merit.

Food and shelter are provided for free.

At the same time, Furong Academy still continues the previous rigid rules, but the children of powerful families, officials and generals, and the children of rich and wealthy families will not be accepted.

Li Qiu personally checks this point, and it is useless for anyone to come through the back door.

As soon as the news came out, it attracted cheers and heated discussions among the people.

There are countless people who praise Li Qiu.

Especially in the army, in the hearts of the many soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, they were even more grateful to the King of Peiping, the great general Li Qiu, for this move.

Regardless of whether the children of their family can succeed in the end, they have to remember Prince Li Qiu's kindness in their hearts for the rest of their lives!

Subsequently, a feast before the New Year's Eve was staged outside the Furong Garden.

The queue of children who came to participate in the interview formed a long dragon with nine bends and eighteen bends directly outside the Furong Garden.

Even if you watch it from the city wall, it is quite spectacular.

Now, the four hundred students in Furong Academy have also grown up.

After several years of training and learning, both ability and work efficiency are quite outstanding.

What's more, there are Ma Zhou, Wu Jue, Sun Simiao, and many teaching organizations and work assignments in the academy.

On the whole, the enrollment of Furong Academy is still very efficient and orderly.

According to past experience, this year's enrollment is also divided into two steps: internal and external.

The outer layer, the main job is screening.

Like those who do not match their identities, are too old or too young, have obvious diseases, incomplete limbs, evil faces, and bad conduct.

Totally excluded.

For this checkpoint, Furongyuan also received a lot of help from Changsun Wuji, and directly ordered Jingzhao Mansion to send officials to maintain order here.

And check the household registration and other information of the children who come to the interview.

It is extremely difficult to cheat and get away with it.

Only those who are strictly screened by the first level will enter the interview inside.

In the interview session, apart from Li Qiu, Sun Simiao, and Ma Zhou, Wei Zheng, Wei Ting, Tang Jian, and Chai Shao were specially invited this time.

Chai Shao couldn't stand Li Qiu's stubbornness at all, so he was moved here.

The main responsibility is also simple, that is, to see people.

Look at this kid's behavior, morality.

Today, Furong Academy is not as old as it was a few years ago.

With a great reputation, there will naturally be those who sneak in and have bad conduct.

So you have to keep a close eye on it.

For these people, like Chai Shao and Li Jing, they are absolute experts.

Li Jing was too busy with the Minister of War, so Li Qiu had no choice but to turn his mind on Chai Shao.

As for Tang Jian, he is also a man of family background, well-read poetry and books, and he must not be underestimated just because of his appearance.

What's more, today's Tang Jian is the Minister of the Household Department, and his status is also outstanding.

The most important thing is that after this trip to the grassland, the relationship between Li Qiu and Tang Jian is very good.

The two of them have very good tempers, they are lazy, and they will never take an extra step if they can lie down.

And the same as these fame and fortune, the two of them don't care much in their bones.

Therefore, as soon as Tang Jian heard that Li Qiu was relaxed and had good wine and food, he ran over cheerfully.

As for the tedious and troublesome things in the court, Tang Jian was eager to find an excuse to get away.

It was beyond Li Qiu's expectation, because the work efficiency in Furong Garden was too high.
