However, because Governor Feng has managed Longyou over the years, Longyou has a much stronger foundation than Liangzhou.

At least as far as the Qiang and Hu are concerned, their food source is no longer just cattle and sheep in the pasture.

In addition, the livestock carrying capacity of pastures has been increased, as well as the standardization of breeding and the construction of green storage towers.

Therefore, in this cold winter, the life of the Hu people in Longyou was many times better than that in Liangzhou.

In the past, the Qiang Protector's Office led by King Feng Gui was a gold-eating monster.

Now that Pingxiang doesn't have this monster sucking blood, it can even provide some food for Liangzhou's emergency response.

However, no matter whether it is a wealthy family in Liangzhou or Pingxiang, the food they can provide is not unlimited after all.

These grains are only used to help Liangzhou Governor's Mansion survive the most urgent period.

We still have to find ways to solve the remaining food gap from other places.

This is why Qishan Road becomes busy a month in advance.

After landing in Xi County, Li Ming and Ma Tian met with Feng Huwei, and at the same time gathered together with other cavalry teams heading to Liangzhou and began to set off for Pingxiang.

Many of the companions were the Hu cavalry from Pingxiang.

There are three roads from Tianshui to Liangzhou.

However, whether it is the south road that passes through Dadou Bagou or the middle road that passes through Hongchiling, the mountains are blocked by heavy snow at this time, making it difficult to pass.

Only the northern route, although it requires a detour and supplies are difficult, at least does not require climbing over mountains.

A few years ago, we learned a lesson. The Yunnan horses from Shu suffered a lot of damage because they could not stand the soil, water, and climate of Longyou.

Therefore, Feng Huwei was very careful along the way. Whenever he arrived at a field, he would immediately instruct his men to wipe the sweat of the horses, rub their backs, and then put blankets on them.

Even so, after crossing the river, some horses still fell down.

"Boss, this won't work! No matter how careful we are, this horse comes from Shu after all and can't stand the soil and water of Liangzhou."

"If this continues, even if we can reach Guzang, most of our horses will be lost..."

For people in a horse team, the horses they get along with day and night are their partners.

I know that if I keep moving forward, I don’t know how many friends will fall, but I can’t grit my teeth and move forward.

This feeling makes people extremely anxious.

"I don't know! Don't I know?"

Guard Feng watched the fallen horse being carried away, his face already extremely ugly.

When I heard this, I turned around and yelled:

"You know everything, don't you know? But why do you still issue a death order to transport grain to Liangzhou?"

"What does this mean? It can only mean that the monarch has reached the point where he has to transport food at any cost!"

"Is it the king who is more important or the horses? Are you confused by lard? You can't tell the difference?"

"If you have all the time to nag here, why don't you make more preparations? If you can save one more horse, that's better than standing talking! Get out, get out!"

While he was talking angrily, he flew over with his feet and kicked the talkative subordinates into flight.

Martin, who saw this scene from a distance, said with some emotion:

"The soldier brought out by Feng Junhou actually has such knowledge. It's really not simple!"

Although he was a little reluctant to admit it, Li Ming still had to nod:

"So in my opinion, this is the confidence of the person who dares to take exams to select officials to govern Liangzhou."

Regardless of whether they are willing to admit it or not, even when it comes to taking exams and selecting talents, those who have the upper hand and advantage are still the rich and powerful families.

Because the rich heritage of aristocratic families is far beyond what common people from humble families can compare with.

Not to mention those gray-headed Guizhou heads.

Although the governor Feng put forward the limitations of the art of arithmetic, don't forget that the number among the six arts of the gentleman (ritual, music, shooting, imperialism, calligraphy, and number) is actually the art of arithmetic.

Therefore, the arithmetic foundation of children from aristocratic families is better than others.

As long as someone teaches the children of aristocratic families to learn the arithmetic skills of Nanxiang, it will be much easier than others.

If that person had not prepared at all and had taken the exam to select talents, I am afraid that the entire civil service officials in Liangzhou would be controlled by the children of aristocratic families.

But what now?

He actually wanted to learn the arithmetic skills of Nanxiang from a warrior who had retired from the army.

In the past, when young people from poor families wanted to study, they would be extremely lucky and meet a great Confucian to give public lectures.

Or just put down your dignity and beg to read books from aristocratic families.

What now?

Over in Nanxiang, the classics compiled by the imperial court were printed all over the streets.

You can borrow it for free even if you don't have any money, and it's the kind of book that's bound on fine paper.

As for the classics annotated by aristocratic families...you won't let me read them, you just annotated them into a flower, so what does that have to do with me?

Along the way, especially what he saw and heard in Nanxiang, Li Ming developed a sense of fear towards that legendary figure.

This sense of fear comes from his status as a child of a noble family.

Li Ming doesn't understand what dimensionality reduction attack is.

But he understood that in the face of all the new things in Nanxiang, the family's long-standing methods were as childish as those of children, with no power to resist at all.

In other words, because of Nanxiang's relationship, the gap between children from aristocratic families and those from poor families is constantly getting smaller.

There are even gray-headed Guizhou heads chasing behind the poor disciples.

If the aristocratic family doesn't take advantage of it, take the exam to gain a foothold.

Then, given time, those who catch up may become children of aristocratic families.

When the man who established a school in Nanxiang said he wanted to educate the Cangtou, Guizhou and barbarians, who could have thought of today?

What is foresight? This is what it means!

"Hello! Hah!"

Feng Jishi, who was far away in Guzang, sneezed twice in a row. He rubbed his nose and murmured, "The sun is so bright, how can I catch a cold?"

Wuwei Valley Water, flowing through Guzang, is the largest water flow in Wuwei County besides the big river, and is also one of the best irrigation water sources in Wuwei County.

Spring is just around the corner, and when spring comes, spring plowing is about to begin. Spring plowing is the most important thing of the year.

Therefore, Governor Feng wanted to go out of the city to inspect the flow of the valley water.

Not far away, Shuangshuang and Ah Chong had taken off their thick coats, but their bodies were still tightly wrapped, and they were chasing Laifu.

Laifu is a dog of rules and regulations. When Governor Feng went to Nanzhong, one person and one dog even sang to each other along the way.

It's just that when Wen Quan met a naughty child, he couldn't reason with him, so he could only run away with his tail between his legs and run around.

"Shuangshuang Chong, your mother is calling you to come home for dinner!"

A distant voice came. Secretary Zhang had his legs together, sitting sideways on the mule, and was shouting this way.

No one from the father and son answered.

When Secretary Zhang saw this, he was immediately furious. He got off the mule, walked over, and picked up a naughty child in one hand.

Then he walked to the water and said loudly to Governor Feng who was squatting by the water:

"Brother-in-law, it's time to return to the city."

Governor Feng waved his hand and replied:

"Don't make any noise, I'm checking the hydrological conditions!"

As he spoke, the goose feathers on the water suddenly sank, and Governor Feng quickly picked up the fishing rod and lifted it!

A fish three fingers wide was pulled out of the sparkling water and thrown to the shore.

They both said "Wow" and pointed at the jumping fish and shouted: "Fish! Fish!"

As he spoke, he twisted his little body, trying to escape from Aunt Zhang's clutches and catch the fish.

"Don't go! It's fishy!"

Secretary Zhang shouted loudly, "If you make trouble again, I will tell your mother when I get back that you are disobedient!"

General Guan Da is the only person in the house who can suppress the little witch. After hearing this, they both immediately became obedient.

"Brother-in-law, hurry up and leave. There is an official document coming from Hanzhong this morning. I have something to tell you."

"Okay, okay!"

Feng Jishi had no choice but to stand up, take the two pairs from Zhang Xingyi's hand, and the two of them turned around holding a child in their arms.

Other things will be taken care of by your attendants.

"What Liangzhou needs most now is food. If Hanzhong doesn't send more food, what's the use of sending more official documents?"
