Lin Muzhen responded respectfully, "Please give me two days, Your Majesty. My mind is full of the Three Character Classic and the contents of the program. I can't keep up. Please have mercy on me."

Everyone couldn't help but laugh.

Xiao Zhixing couldn't help laughing, "I'm sorry, I'm too impatient, but time doesn't wait for me. Three short years will pass in a flash. I want you to have a good idea of ​​what's going on so that you can start taking action immediately once you arrive in Beizhou."

"Since you don't have any ideas for now, let's discuss it again in two days. You all need to submit a supplementary policy paper."

Everyone agreed and started thinking quickly.

As for the Three Character Classic, they were afraid that they were not smart enough, so they sent letters via flying eagles to ask teachers, friends and relatives for advice.

This was tacitly agreed by Xiao Zhixing. With this holy book as the beginning, she could attract these people by coming up with some ideas for scriptures that needed to be co-created in the future.

Things like the Thousand Character Classic, Collection of Poems and Essays, Complete Works of Dasheng, plus a Hundred Schools of Thought, she didn't believe they could resist.

Feng Zhen'er sighed, "I don't want to go to Dongzhou alone, I want to go to Beizhou with the prince."

It's bound to be lively and interesting.

When Xiao Zhixing said goodbye to her, "Don't worry, we will see each other again soon."

She wanted to send Lin Rushu to Mengzhou, and Feng Zhen'er had to go east halfway. Ji Bai and Lin Muzhen, who were going to Beizhou to take up positions, could not go with them to Mengzhou.

So after twenty days, the team was reduced by half, with only Lin Rushu, Mu Wan, Nian Chenghan, Jiang Tan and others left.

During this period, with the wisdom of everyone, the Three Character Classic had already taken shape.

The outline became more and more perfect through discussions and revisions by everyone.

Ji Bai, Lin Muzhen, Li Wenxiu, Qi Wuyi, Bai Su, Jiang Pu and others will go to Beizhou first with this outline and the first draft of the Three Character Classic. Qi Danhe and Xiao Bei will cooperate with them to launch the preliminary plan.

The young men wished they could grow wings so they could go to the Northern Province immediately to implement their plans and realize their ambitions.

Watching them leave with a thousand soldiers, Lin Rushu said with a smile: "Your Majesty is not only good at military affairs, but also good at employing people."

It is such a huge plan, and they were allowed to carry it out. This bold use of people and unconventional approach is truly admirable.

Mu Wan nodded in agreement. Nian Chenghan had been observing them silently.

Xiao Zhixing was pleased, "Only good people can have leisure time. My dream is to rule without doing anything."

If she can lead the team well, it will be easy for her as the leader.

After all, it's just a state. She will just watch from the side and do the work of the chief helmsman. Let them do it and gain more experience so that they can be entrusted with important tasks in the future.

She doesn't take on too much and trusts their wisdom.

The ancients simply had a different understanding of the environment they were in, and people in the future will not be smarter than them.

Give them a direction and she expects them to create miracles.

At this time, they officially left Zhongzhou and entered Mengzhou. They could go to Ningzhou and Xiazhou to the west, and to Beizhou to the east.

Mu Wan and Nian Chenghan decided to go with her for another half a month.

That day, they still did not sleep in the town, but found a place to set up camp in the wild.

Mu Wan and Lin Rushu also wrote a plan outline for Mengzhou and Xiazhou based on their own understanding and the information they had consulted.

Xiao Zhixing was making additional revisions for them.

"Your Highness, a large group of people are coming from the east." The alert scout suddenly came into the tent to report.

Xiao Zhixing put down his pen and walked out of the main account, "Go check again."

After a while, the scout reported back, "It's a group of refugees and bandits."

Shi Jiaowu and others followed her closely.

The others heard the noise and came out of the tent, becoming nervous.

The Xiao family army was calm. They were used to marching in an army, and they kept their weapons with them even when setting up camp. They formed a defense in almost a moment.

Not long after, thousands of bandits rushed over under the light of the fire, and their excited faces changed color instantly when they saw the Xiao family army, fully armed and coldly waiting for them.

"No, retreat quickly!" The leading bandit shouted angrily and asked everyone to retreat.

Xiao's army would never give them a chance to retreat. They charged forward and surrounded them.

The leader couldn't help but yelled:

"Sir, we are blind and don't know the real you. We didn't mean to offend you. We are just starving. Please be kind and let us go. We will kowtow to you."

This person knows how to deal with current affairs.

Xiao Zhixing was puzzled, "You can't read?"

Didn’t they see that huge flag with the word “肖” hanging? Even if they didn’t see the military flag, were these fully armed cavalrymen blind?

Thousands of refugees armed with hoes, machetes and sticks dare to rob the regular army?

The leader burst into tears, "Wow, sir, we are illiterate and have been deceived. The person who told us the news said that you were just an ordinary merchant caravan. We were so hungry that we didn't find out more clearly. Please spare our lives, sir!"

Shi Jiaowu shouted, "Put down your weapons before you speak."

The leader did not dare to hesitate, and ordered everyone to drop their weapons. In the end, they were driven into a pile like chickens, and they had to squat with their heads covered.

The leader was brought over.

Xiao Zhixing asked him, "Look, you all have hands and feet. Mengzhou is also full of fertile land. You can cultivate the wasteland and grow anything to support yourself. Why do you want to become a bandit?"

The leader wiped away his tears and knelt down, "Sir, you don't know, this dog official wants to force us to death. We are good people. Since last year, there has been little rain and the harvest has dropped sharply. The dog official imposed heavy taxes. We couldn't afford it, so he took away our land."

"We had no choice but to secretly reclaim the wasteland, thinking that we could feed our family first. But unexpectedly, we were reported and the corrupt officials sentenced us for illegally reclaiming the land and wanted to arrest us and put us in jail."

"He burned all the newly planted fields and destroyed the seeds. My Lord, we really can't survive."

"This is the government forcing the people to revolt!"

Xiao Zhixing's face darkened, and Lin Rusu and others were also angry when they heard this.

Shi Jiaowu asked on his behalf, "What's the official's name?"

The leader said, "The dog official is called Wei Shi, he is the head of our Sanmenli, and it is said that he is also the brother-in-law of our county magistrate."

Arnold, who was an expert on the area, frowned and said, "This place belongs to Pantou County. The county magistrate is Xiao Renyi. He has been the county magistrate in Pantou for more than 20 years. His third wife's surname is indeed Shi. She is the daughter of the local wealthy merchant Shi family."

After saying this, he glanced at Xiao Zhixing and said, "It seems that County Magistrate Xiao is a relative of Lord Ping's family."

Xiao Zhixing understood that they were people left over from the Yin Dynasty, who had been entrenched in this place for more than 20 years and were like local tyrants. To be honest, they might be a distant branch of the Xiao family.

However, Xiao Zhixing did not listen to one side blindly. She ordered Ying Er and Bai Mei to go to Sanmenli and Pantou County to inquire about the news.

The group simply waited there for a day or two.

On the third day, Ying Er came back to report, "Wei Shi has been the head of Sanmenli for five years. He has been rampant, corrupt, and has taken no prisoners. He has caused widespread resentment in the area, and many people have moved away because they could not survive. Those who did not move away either endured it or were forced to go up the mountain and become bandits."

Xiao Zhixing frowned.

This place is adjacent to Zhongzhou, yet no one reported this incident to the court.

Apart from Xiao Renyi and Xiao Xin, who else is hiding behind them as a protective umbrella?

Later, Bai Mei also came back. "Xiao Renyi served as an official here for 23 years. With the position of a county magistrate, he became the local emperor of most of Mengzhou. It is said that the five counties in the southern part of Mengzhou are all his minions."

Xiao Zhixing's heart moved, and he summoned Anota alone, "Anota, what do you want to confess to me?"

(Oh my god, I’m stuck, help!)
