This time it is really going to develop (Stop scolding 555...)

Gu Shouzhi's heart is complicated.

As his life in the feudal territory progresses, he observes from the perspective of a bystander.

He felt that Chen Mu might not be a qualified county magistrate, but he was the most suitable magistrate for the border.

The people here have been suppressed for too long and need a leader to break the current deadlock.

He didn't know whether his choice was right or wrong.

Just because the future is an unknown that is difficult to determine.

The Cave Heaven Paradise is actually just the beginning. If you can protect it once, you may not be able to survive the second time.

Besides, a person's realm can advance by leaps and bounds, but how easy is it to bring an entire county forward together?

What's more, enemies and opponents won't give you much time.

"Qidao Mountain in Qidao County is not an ordinary sect on the mountain. Although it is only a side branch of the Dao sect, it also has inheritance. The strength of its sect is much higher than that of the Yuhe Sect."

In the pavilion in the courtyard of the government office.

Chen Mu poured tea for Gu Shouzhi. After hearing this, he said with a smile: "Many debts do not overwhelm you, and the same goes for enemies. If you are afraid of one more enemy every time and make yourself timid, you may not be able to get out of it for the rest of your life. Liuyang County No matter whether it’s Qi Daoshan or Qi Daoshan, once it comes, it will follow, if it’s reasonable, we’ll talk, and if we don’t, we’ll fight.”

Gu Shouzhi looked at the tea cup. The tea soup was rich and fragrant, and it reminded him of his teacher again.

I seem to have said something similar back then, don't be afraid if there are too many enemies, just talk to them if you're reasonable, and if they're not being reasonable, use your fists to make them reason.

At first, Gu Shouzhi thought this was somewhat paradoxical.

But in the end, his teacher seemed to have really done it. As long as he punched, there would be no unreasonable enemies.

The Chen Mu in front of him seemed to be the same to him, but his methods were crazier and his heart was more ruthless.

Of course, Gu Shouzhi could understand. After all, people are different and face different situations. If Shen Mu hadn't been ruthless, he might have fallen.

A scholar is a gentleman, but he does not necessarily have to be a good Bodhisattva, so he understands Shen Mu's murder and doesn't have too many thoughts.

The living conditions between counties have always been one of intrigue and intrigue.

In fact, this is the case not only in Dali, but also in all the dynasties in Dongzhou and the counties within.

In an era when monks were prosperous, it would not be too rigid to establish a dynasty that would be superior to many sects.

Gu Shouzhi took a sip of tea and looked at Shen Mu with a helpless smile.

"Every time I see Master Shen, he is so confident. He is really incomparable."

"Of course, temperament must be taken care of."

"Hmm..." Gu Shouzhi didn't understand a bit, but it wasn't the first time. He automatically ignored the change of topic and said, "Master Shen, the competition conditions for the Academy have been announced in the capital."

"Oh?" Shen Mu was stunned. He didn't expect that the conditions for running for the Academy would come down so quickly: "Let's talk about it."

"You have to be mentally prepared. The conditions are very harsh and it is not easy."

Chen Mu shrugged indifferently. He never found it easy from beginning to end, but the academy must be built. This was an important step for the future development of Fengjiang.

In Gu Shouzhi's hand, a page of yellow paper appeared out of thin air.

No words can be seen on the yellow paper, but a golden seal is very eye-catching. If you look carefully, you will find four large characters engraved on it: Chuanshengxue Palace.

Gu Shouzhi waved his hand, a faint halo of light flickered, and then the words began to flash one by one, and then he opened his mouth and read:

"The second academy of the Dali Dynasty, in theory, all major counties have the right to fight for it, but in the end, Dali Capital and the Wendao Academy still gave the selection conditions.

First, the list of counties in Dali requires the top five.

Second, the Dali Luck Ranking needs to be in the top five.

Third, there must be at least ten people with literary talents and a talent for reading.

Fourth, the county must have meritorious deeds.

The above are the conditions for competition. Only when the above requirements are finally met can the final competition take place."

Gu Shouzhi explained the information in general.

He looked at Shen Mu, feeling a little worried in his heart. This condition is really not simple. He must be in the top ten in terms of comprehensive strength ranking and Dali's accumulated luck, and there must also be ten literary geniuses who are born with the talent to read. These few It's difficult enough.

As for the final merits and deeds, there are ways to solve them.

If you have money in your pocket, you can still get it by subsidizing the military or providing some relatively precious things to the capital.

Therefore, the most important ones are the first three.

Chen Mu had previously relied on the luck brought from Xuzhou County to be at the top of the luck rankings for a day, but now it seems that it is still not enough.

The county rankings are based on overall strength. If you want to go up, unless you dare to challenge directly and the other party is willing to give up their ranking to you, it is almost impossible.

aside.

Chen Mu was still very calm after hearing this, which was no different from what he had guessed before.

In fact, if you think about it, you will know that for such a big thing as establishing a Xuegong Academy, the normal logic is to choose the best county to build it.

So he had already been mentally prepared.

It must be a clash with the strongest counties in Dali.

…

…

After the grain was harvested, it was distributed to each household.

Although after even distribution, you don’t get much.

But it still moved the people of Fengjiang County.

At least after this, the common people will gradually start to distance themselves from the Yamen and gradually become closer to each other, and they will also begin to have confidence in Shen Mu, the county magistrate.

The so-called generation of support starts with trust.

After the first harvest was over, the deadwood did not stop, and they immediately started the second land renovation and planting.

According to his calculations, it would take at least two or three more good harvests to get through this winter safely.

Of course, this is just to solve the problem of food and clothing.

nowadays,

He began to consider the next stage of county development.

This time I am really ready to start.

Because Gu Shouzhi got the news from the capital, the announcement of the second academy in Dali was earlier than expected.

And now that the major counties have been announced.

That means that from now on, the competition for the 'Academy' has begun.

The goal is very clear, to hit the county rankings and luck rankings.

Chen Mu briefly analyzed it and found that the fastest way to gain luck must still be the old routine, and he is also working on it.

The competition for the county list is a bit complicated.

If the ranking conditions were strictly based on the Dali Dynasty, many more comprehensive factors would be required.

The economy of the county, the number of talents in the county, the size of the sects supported, whether there are mountains and rivers to worship, the strength of the local government offices and county magistrates, etc.

Almost all of the above must be taken into consideration.

Shen Mu listed them one by one, thought about them all night, and finally put 'economy' at the top of the list.

The reason is simple: the economy determines the superstructure.

If you want to be awesome, you must first have money!

However, ordinary people's money is naturally not profitable.

…

Thousands of miles away.

Dali ‘Yuncang Port’.

Huge cloud ferries are slowly moored.

The ferry on the clouds is naturally not in the sea, but swimming above the clouds.

A flying boat supported by countless exquisite array combinations.

This is a common large-scale transportation method used by many people when traveling far away.

Especially across continents, even the most advanced monks cannot fly by themselves.

Taking a cross-continental ferry is the best option.

Of course, the same goes for shipping goods across continents.

Many monks stepped off the ferries from various major dynasties and entered Dali one after another with customs clearance documents authorized by Dali officials.

"Uncle Chang Feng, if we use the Zhangtian Shrinking Earth Talisman, we can get there in half a day, right?"

"What the hell!" Liu Changfeng looked at the naughty female disciple angrily: "Yuncang Port is nice and the scenery is nice. Why are you going so early if you stay for two more days?"

The female disciple stuck out her tongue and said, "Why is uncle so cruel to others? Besides, where is the scenery in Yuncang?"

"Shut up, I just said yes."
