The Wang family and other wealthy businessmen who plundered the people were properly dealt with.

Liu Jian didn't want to go on a killing spree, nor did he want to lose the hearts and minds of many people, so he ordered these people to wear shackles in the street, beat each of them with thirty big boards, returned the money and treasures collected to the people, and asked the Wang family to take the lead in accepting the punishment.

Make money of 10,000 guan.

In the eyes of Liu Jianjun and his ministers, they were tolerant enough, but these people were willing to sacrifice their lives rather than their wealth. After collecting 10,000 yuan of money, many wealthy households left with their families in the name of doing business and delivering goods.

Come to Yuzhang.

The Wang family and his son did not leave. They thought that if their daughter leaned against Li Xiaofei's big tree, she would be exempted from the death penalty, so there was nothing to fear. Once the emperor and Li Xiaofei left, the Wang family would be the real owners of Yuzhang City.

Liu Jian stayed in Yuzhang for thirteen days, and finally received good news from Zhou Dapeng. Zhou Dapeng set out from Chenzhou and captured Tanzhou. Not only that, he also divided his troops to capture the counties on the road to Yuzhang.

As a result, all the south of Dongting Lake belonged to the Southern Navy, and Cui Ju's territory was only the Hubei area in the nine counties of Jingxiang.

The situation was excellent, but Zhou Dapeng sent someone to send back the memorial, telling the court not to rush northward, but to first stabilize the newly recovered Yuzhang and reach Tanzhou.

Liu Mingge left Yuzhang City without knowing when he carried the giant sword on his back. Before leaving, he gave Li Xiaofei a copy of Huayang Sword Jue.

Li Xiaofei flipped through it for a few times before throwing it aside. Liu Mingge snorted, "If you don't practice this sword technique now, no one will save you in the future! This is your life-saving technique in the future!"

Li Xiaofei looked at it and said, "Isn't this just an ordinary Taoist classic? It is said to be a sword art, but there is not a single word related to swordsmanship? I wonder how many people you, Mr. Liu, have tricked with this sword art?"

"Looking at mountains is not mountains, looking at water is not water! You should memorize this sword art first! By the way, I will leave the rebuilding of Nanyang Academy to you!"

"Me? I only know a few hundred words. You want me to rebuild the academy? Mr. Liu, can you be more reliable?"

"I believe you, only people who have read little can have good ideas. People who have read too much and are not enlightened are often dull. Asking them to rebuild the academy will piss me off!"

"Come on, Mr. Liu, I think you don't want to pay! You want to beat my rich man!"

"Why do you have to say it? Do you just say build it or not build it?"

"I, Li Xiaofei, a dignified man, will never be threatened by a crazy old man like you! The so-called majesty cannot yield!"

After a while, Li Xiaofei was stepped on the ground by Liu Mingge and kept saying, "I will build it, I will build it, I will build it, can't I do it? Don't let anyone see it, I will still command the three armies!"

"Haha, yes, I would have just told you if you would build it. As expected, you built it. Yes, you built it! Hahahahaha!"

Knowing that Liu Mingge had taken advantage of him, but unable to refute, Li Xiaofei cursed in his heart.

Liu Mingge let go of Li Xiaofei and said, "Remember, the academy should be built as soon as possible, and the sword skills must be practiced day and night. If you practice the sword skills for eight hours every day, you will definitely be successful!"

Li Xiaofei thought about Liu Mingge's words, practicing for eight hours a day, whether he had to eat or sleep, or do anything else. Just when he was about to refute, Liu Mingge had disappeared.

The day after Liu Mingge left, a bunch of people came to Li Xiaofei's house, some of whom were familiar to Li Xiaofei, and many more were strangers.

As soon as Li Xiaofei came out, everyone clasped their fists and saluted, "Hello, Dean!"

Li Xiaofei touched his head and pinched his nose, "What happened? How did I become the dean? You? Cai Guishan? Yuan Xin? Ruoyun? And a few others, who are you?"

"Mr. Liu came to me a few days ago and asked me to be Mr. Chuanwu of the academy. It was hard to refuse his kindness, so I agreed." Cai Guishan, wearing a long gown and holding a white paper fan, made Li Xiaofei dumbfounded.

"It's hard to refuse such kindness. It's probably Mr. Liu who got hold of you."

handle!"

"The dean can't curse people behind their backs. Mr. Liu came to visit me three times specifically! If it weren't for the sake of his sword madness, why he didn't come out?" There was also a tall, thin old man with slumped shoulders, dressed in red, looking like a groom.

The official has spoken

"I alarmed the old man. It seems that Mr. Liu has worked hard. I dare to ask the old man his name!"

The old man slapped me with his backhand, "Old sir, old sir, I am a thirty-two-year-old Chu Wen genius! You, the dean, are too bullying!"

Li Xiaofei knew the weight of this slap. When it was slapped, a strong wind blew up Li Xiaofei's hair, but when it came to his face, it only felt like a gentle caress. It seemed that this person's kung fu was unfathomable.

Since he is an expert, Li Xiaofei could only greet him with a smile, "Hello Mr. Chu, I'm sorry for my poor eyesight, but Mr. Chu is also here to teach martial arts?"

"No, I'm here to teach the Book of Songs! I'm not good at martial arts!" Chu Wentian took out a silk book and showed it to everyone.

There was another person with unusually bright eyes and unusually long fingers. He immediately pointed at the silk book and said, "I'm afraid this was taken from the cemetery of the nobles of Chu State! It's a rare treasure! I, Blind Man Wu, have never encountered such a well-preserved silk book in thirty years of treasure hunting."

Li Xiaofei was even more stunned, why did Mr. Liu even find a tomb robber? "Mr. Wu must be here to teach Qimen Dunjia!"

"No, no, no, Dean Li, I'm here to teach the art of brewing under the orders of Mr. Liu!"

"Okay, okay, I understand. Mr. Wu has traveled far and wide and must have learned a lot about wine-making techniques."

"Ashamed, I have only drank wine from many dynasties, but I have never made wine myself. This time, Mr. Liu asked me to make wine according to the ancient method without using grain, and I can only leave after one hundred thousand kilograms!"

"Then Mr. Wu should have already figured out a solution. Even though Li doesn't drink, he will still take a jar and keep it when the time comes!"

"I tried seventy-eight kinds of wild fruits and tubers to make wine, but I couldn't get it right. Maybe I can find the most suitable wine-making materials in the academy for another ten years!"

Li Xiaofei smiled awkwardly, but before he could reply, a scholar-looking person next to Wang Ruoyun said, "Dean Li, you haven't invited us into the room for so long, I'm afraid it's a bit rude!"

Li Xiaofei hurriedly stretched out his hand to signal, "Please, everyone, please, it's early in the morning, and there are so many distinguished guests here. Li will definitely prepare a banquet for you all!"

The scholar unloaded the box on his back, "Master Li, we are not here to make a living. I think today is an auspicious day for building the academy, so we can start construction today!"

Li Xiaofei looked at this man, who had good features but some thick arms. He said that he was a versatile man in both civil and military affairs. As he walked to the living room, he asked, "Is this gentleman here to teach the Book of Changes? May I ask his name?"

The scholar took out a piece of pork from the box, "To tell you the truth, I made a living by killing pigs and selling meat in Xiaguanliang, and I was entrusted by Mr. Liu to teach the Spring and Autumn Period!"

Li Xiaofei almost stopped standing, "Why did Mr. Guan decide that today is an auspicious day?"

"Hey, the sun is shining brightly today, the people are here, the time is right, the place is right, and the people are all here. What else is it if it's not an auspicious day? Do we have to choose an auspicious rainy day to start work in the rain?"

Li Xiaofei nodded, "Sir, your experience is indeed different! Okay, there are a few others who could please report your family status so that Li can make arrangements!"

"Chen Wenyuan, a tofu shop in the west of the city, was asked to teach arithmetic by Mr. Feng Liu!"

"Xiong Dawan of Dawan Village collects firewood for a living, and is ordered by Mr. Liu to teach herbal medicine collection!"

"Danyang thief Lu Zhaixing was ordered by Mr. Liu to teach calligraphy!"

"Guo Dabao, a fisherman from Chaisangkou, was ordered by Mr. Liu to teach painting!"

"Wang Ruoyun was ordered by Mr. Liu to teach Chu Ci to female students!"

"Yuan Xin was ordered by Mr. Liu to teach driving skills!"

"Mr. Shi Erbang Fengliu, the stonemason at Sanchakou

Ordered to teach music!"

"Gao Sheng, a gambler from Jiangkou Town, was ordered by Mr. Liu to teach etiquette!"

Li Xiaofei was no longer surprised, and he wouldn't be surprised if a beggar was ordered to teach business next.

Li Xiaofei knew that although Liu Mingge's behavior was contrary to common sense, he must have his merits.

Li Xiaofei also put a lot of thought into entertaining these twelve people and asked his subordinates to specially add many dishes.

Unexpectedly, the dishes and rice prepared for thirty people were not enough.

It wasn't that these twelve people had big appetites, but that Chu Wentian alone ate 90% of the food for these thirty people.

Everyone looked at Chu Wentian. Guan Liang touched his belly, "This is wrong. How can you eat so much?"

"I'm afraid it's not Mr. Chu who is an expert in this world who has magic!"

"Maybe it's just a cover-up!"

Chu Wentian reached into his mouth and spit out everything he had eaten before.

Everyone couldn't help but vomited. Li Xiaofei took a closer look and saw that the stuff Chu Wentian vomited was as big as a millstone.

"Mr. Chu, I'm done with it, I'm done with it!"

Chu Wentian ignored him and ran out to rinse his mouth. After gargling, he threw two mice out of his sleeves.

When the mice hit the ground, they swelled up to the size of a chair. The two mice ran to the pile of things that Chu Wentian had vomited out and ate them. In a short time, they had eaten up every drop of the pile of things.

Everyone clapped their hands and marveled, Chu Wentian touched his beard, "This is a giant rat! It can swallow food a hundred times larger than itself. By chance, Chu understood some of the secrets of this giant rat, so he was able to swallow dozens of kilograms of food!"

But for Chu, one steamed bun is actually enough. Eating so much is a waste! If Mr. Li’s food was wasted today, Chu will compensate you at double the price. Today, Chu is just letting you see what Shuoshu is!

"

Wang Ruoyun immediately began to recite, "You are a big rat. You are a big rat. You have no food for me. If you are three years old, I will take care of you."

Everyone nodded and clapped their hands, "I'm afraid we will never forget the method taught by Mr. Chu. We will never forget it when we learn poetry like this. Wonderful! Wonderful!"

Guo Dabao picked up a chopstick and dipped it in wine to draw the two giant rats on the ground. Shi Erbang also took his chopsticks and tapped the five tones of Gong Shang Jiao Zheng Yu on the dishes.

For a moment, everyone began to show off their skills, with only a few watching from the sidelines.

Li Xiaofei frowned. Such a group of people are difficult to discipline. How can he, a dean with no talent or virtue, convince the public?

Then I thought about it, since it was Mr. Liu who told me, and everyone already recognized him as the dean, there was nothing to worry about. No matter how crazy these people were in front of Liu Mingge, they probably wouldn't be able to get crazy.

After the presentation was finished, two new tables of food were served. Everyone had been hungry for a long time, but this time they actually finished the meal.

After entertaining everyone and choosing a place to live, they went to choose a location for the academy. There were different opinions when choosing a location. Later, Chu Wentian chose a high ground and moved the soil first, so everyone had to follow him.

Li Xiaofei was going to use his troops to carry materials to build the academy, but unexpectedly, each of the twelve people came with their own people: those who burned bricks, those who dug earth, those who fell trees, and those who made winches.

Li Xiaofei's original idea was not in use. Li Xiaofei was curious about how Yuan Xin could invite people to come. After asking, he found out that all the people Yuan Xin had treated outside the city had come.
