The three of them went into the house to sit down. This was Yang You's study. The room was bright and the layout was elegant and simple. There were books everywhere. Yang Yuanqing recognized at a glance that these were his books.

Yang You blushed and said apologized: "My nephew is fond of books as much as he lives. He can't live without books for a day. These are all lent to me by Aunt Pei."

When Yang Yuanqing heard that he called Minqiu Aunt Pei, the title was quite interesting. He couldn't help but laugh and said, "Most of my books are posing, I don't have time to read them. Your Highness likes them, so just take them to read them."

"Thank you, Uncle Second!"

Pei Ju smiled beside him and said, "Yuanqing, I also discovered that Fengzhou has a lot of books, but there is no book engraving club. Yesterday, I took Your Highness around Jiuyuan County, but I didn't find a bookstore. We were very disappointed. We discussed and just opened a bookstore. Yuanqing, what do you think?"

Although Pei Ju was half-joking, Yang Yuanqing found that Yang You's eyes were flashing with anticipation. When he first met him, the depressed expression between his eyebrows and eyes was wiped out, with the curiosity and excitement that was unique to young people.

Yang Yuanqing smiled and asked Yang You, "Your Highness thinks this place is better, or Chang'an?"

Yang You said without hesitation: "I can go shopping here and go horseback hunting outside the city. However, Chang'an, my footprints cannot reach twenty feet. I prefer Fengzhou."

"Yuanqing, I'm waiting!"

Pei Ju said impatiently: "I want to open a bookstore, do you think it's OK?"

Yang Yuanqing was helpless and could only smile bitterly: "Grandfather opens whenever he wants it, and I can't stop you. If you need money, go to Minqiu and need a store, you can go to the county government directly."

Pei Ju was actually just joking. When he saw Yang Yuanqing take it seriously, he smiled sly and said, "I'm just talking. I don't have time. Every day I have to go to the county government to teach official affairs, teach His Highness, and teach his county school. I'm so busy all day, hey! I don't have a penny in my salary."

Yang Yuanqing laughed, "It's not easy for grandfather to want a salary! I'll tell Cui Junsu and pay it according to the salary of a first-rank official."

At this time, Yang You whispered: "Second uncle, I also want to go to the county school to study."

Yang Yuanqing's smile disappeared. He glanced at Pei Ju. Pei Ju nodded, saying that he could, and looked at Yang You again. Seeing that his eyes were full of pleading and expectation, Yang Yuanqing knew that he was too lonely, and the county school was basically teenagers about twelve or twelve years old, and they were the same age as Yang You. After pondering for a long time, Yang Yuanqing said slowly: "I am mainly worried about the safety of Your Highness. If Your Highness really wants to study, then you must absolutely obey my arrangements in terms of safety."

Yang You nodded in a hurry, "I must obey my second uncle's arrangement."

Yang Yuanqing stood up and smiled and said, "I'm going to the county school now, so your highness will go with me!"

....

Wuyuan County School is located in the south of the city. It was founded when Yang Shidao was the prefect. After several years of development, it has expanded from more than 100 people to thousands. In addition to Wuyuan County scholars, there are also scholars from Guannei and Longyou counties, accounting for nearly half of them. The youngest is eleven or twelve years old, and the largest one is in his early twenties. The county school has free food and accommodation, and there is also a monthly subsidy of five hang-in money.

The county school covers an area of ​​hundreds of acres, including schools, school houses, library buildings, rooftop viewing platforms, martial arts learning halls, riding and shooting grounds, etc. There are thousands of various buildings, divided into three parts: Qingmeiyuan, Baiheguan and Qiuju Hall, which are actually divided by age.

Yang Yuanqing brought Yang You and dozens of guards to Qingmei Courtyard. There were all teenagers under the age of thirteen. When they walked to a school, they heard the sound of reading aloud from inside.

Looking out the window, the school was spacious and bright, with more than a hundred teenagers sitting on the ground, and the young were similar to Yang You. Yang You bit his lip. He had never seen so many children as old as him. His eyes were shining brightly. How eager he was to play with them and read together.

On the mat in front, Li Gang sat cross-legged, with a serious face, staring at the book in front of him with concentration, and a bamboo whip was placed next to it.

He was tricked into Fengzhou by Yang Yuanqing, and he was extremely dissatisfied. He refused to accept any official position given to him by the county government or the general administration. In the end, he reluctantly accepted to come to the county school to teach and educate people, becoming the oldest and oldest man in the county school.

At this time, the school supervisor went in and said a few words to Li Gang. Li Gang's eyes were a little surprised, and he stood up and walked out quickly. He glared at Yang Yuanqing, but ignored it and bowed to Yang You, "Why is Your Highness here?"

Yang You glanced at Yang Yuanqing and said timidly: "Uncle Second is allowed to come here to study."

Yang You called Yang Yuanqing's "second uncle", which made Li Gang feel a little uncomfortable, but Yang Yuanqing actually allowed Yang You to come to the county to study, which was something Li Gang could not have thought. It seemed that Yang Yuanqing was a little bit conscientious, but he ignored Yang Yuanqing and nodded to Yang You, "Okay! You are studying here, no different from ordinary students."

Yang You was so happy that she knelt down, kowtowed respectfully to Li Gang, and gave a ceremony to apprenticeship. Yang Yuanqing smiled and said, "I'll ask you for everything."

Li Gang snorted coldly, ignored him, held Yang You's hand and went straight in.

Yang Yuanqing shook his head helplessly. Li Gang has a tough and stinking temper. It is probably difficult for him to be loyal to him, but it is not bad for him to train a group of talents for himself.

Yang Yuanqing thought of Su Wei again. It is said that when this man came, he proposed to be the chief minister of the General Administration or the prefect of Wuyuan County. In short, he was unwilling to be a subordinate, so Yang Yuanqing had to grant him the title of King of the Dian, the ambassador of the six counties in the north of Guanbei, and respect him as the cabinet master. In comparison, Li Gangyao has much backbone than him.

However, Yang Yuanqing needs Su Wei's reputation, and character is not important for the time being. Moreover, Su Wei is indeed very talented. He can quickly establish a system for himself in the future.

Yang Yuanqing looked out the window again and saw Li Gang leading Yang You to a table, let him sit down, and gave him a book, pen, ink, paper and ink. Yang You, like other young men, began to read with concentration.

When Yang Yuanqing saw all this, he showed a knowing smile on his face. Although he was the emperor's grandson, he was a child who longed for freedom and companions in his bones. It's a pity that he couldn't enjoy this kind of ordinary life for long.

Yang Yuanqing turned around and said to the supervisor of the school and the chief guard in charge of Yang You's safety: "No one is allowed to disclose his identity. In addition, two people with the strongest martial arts skills must be sent to follow him. Except for studying in the school, no place in other county schools must stay here at night. If you don't stay here every morning, come here every morning, and you must not be careless about safety."

"I understand!"

....

The residents of Jiuyuan County are returning one after another. This time, they are not as hasty and embarrassed as they were when they fled. Everyone is very calm and gets up after they have cleaned up everything. The women, children and the elderly all come back on a boat, saving the fatigue of the journey.

People came and went on the streets of the county town, half of the shops were opened, and business was also found in the restaurants. A team of Sogdian merchants leading camels appeared on the streets, and Jiuyuan County was regaining its former prosperity at an unprecedented speed.

Yang Yuanqing and his group came to the General Administration Office and turned over and dismounted. Du Ruhui had already heard the news and greeted him, "We all guessed that the General Administration would definitely come back first."

"Why?" Yang Yuanqing asked with a smile on his way up the steps.

"If you don't arrange the matter in Fengzhou, how can you leave? It's not that easy to be a hand-off manager."

Yang Yuanqing smiled slightly, "I never thought of being a hand-off manager. Wouldn't you come back now?"

In the room, the two of them sat down, and Du Ruhui asked with concern: "Is it enough for the general manager to bring only 30,000 people to the east?"

"As long as food is guaranteed, 30,000 people are enough. I will fight Liu Wuzhou first, so there will definitely be a source of troops. After fighting Liu Wuzhou, I will probably have 100,000 troops in my hand, and then I can attack Taiyuan with all my strength. I wonder if Xue Ju can support me for three months."

Li Yuan left 50,000 troops in Taiyuan, commanded by Li Yuanji, and also deployed 30,000 troops in various counties in Hedong. In addition, the Taiyuan city walls are tall and strong, so it is not easy to defeat them. Yang Yuanqing knew all of these, but he could not retreat because it was difficult to defeat him. If he could take down Taiyuan, it would become his most favorable base camp for attacking Hebei.

"But I heard that Liu Wuzhou had also attacked Taiyuan and fought three battles with Li Yuanji's army, two wins and one defeat, suppressing Li Yuanji in Taiyuan City. It can be seen that Liu Wuzhou's combat effectiveness is not weak, and the general manager must not underestimate the enemy."

"I understand this."

Yang Yuanqing picked up the teacup, took a sip of the tea slowly, and asked, "What's wrong with Liu Wenjing?"

Du Ruhui smiled bitterly, "He has been on a hunger strike for two days. He said he would either let him go back or starve to death and never surrender. This person is even harder than Li Gang."

Yang Yuanqing pondered for a moment and asked, "Have he ever written a letter to Li Yuan?"

"No, but when he first came, he wrote a letter to his family. The letter was still here and I didn't send it to him."

"Take it to me."

Du Ruhui received a letter in a moment, which was written by Liu Wenjing to his wife. The content was very simple, that is, he was already in Fengzhou and everything was fine, so that his wife and family would not be afraid.

After reading the letter, Yang Yuanqing pondered for a moment, and then ordered the personal soldiers beside him, "Go and find Jia Zhengyi."

Soon, the clerk Jia Zhengyi walked in, and he stepped forward and bowed, "I'm not going to see the general manager!"

Yang Yuanqing handed the letter to him and smiled: "Add a line of words at the back, Fengzhou is rich, the people are stable, and the officials are honest. It makes scholars all over the world yearn for it. This is a pure land in troubled times!"

Jia Zhengyi is the best counterfeiter in the world. In Jiangdu, he counterfeited Zhang Jin's handwriting and gave the Zhang family the order. Jia Zhengyi thought about it for a moment, then picked up the pen and waved it.

"Master, it's OK!" He handed the letter to Yang Yuanqing.

Yang Yuanqing wrote a letter and read it once. It was perfect. Jia Zhengyi had reached the point of imitation from the style of writing.

Yang Yuanqing secretly praised in his heart and handed the letter to Du Ruhui and said, "Send someone to send this letter to Liu Wenjing's family and tell Liu Wenjing that since he refused to serve me, I would not force him and let him not go on a hunger strike. In a month, I will naturally send him back and never break my promise."

Du Ruhui took the letter and gave a thumbs up and praised: "The manager is indeed extremely clever!"

Yang Yuanqing smiled proudly. He was looking forward to Li Yuan's expression when he saw the letter.

...

Two days later, Yang Yuanqing led 5,000 cavalry to Yulin County and began his Eastern Expedition.
