He saw more people on the street than he had seen before when he came to Jiuyuan City. Looking at the people next to him, most of them were adults with children.

He set up a shop in Jiuyuan City, but he rarely came here. He hadn't been to Jiuyuan City for more than half a year. Hearing that something had happened in Jiuyuan City, he packed some goods and came over to take a look and take care of the accounts.

Collect the money you earned.

He stuck his head out of the car window and asked the passers-by in front of his car, "May I ask this brother, what are you doing here?"

The person he asked was in his thirties and dressed like a farm boy.

The farm man is not alone. There is a woman of about the same age as him, a boy and girl in their teens, who appear to be traveling as a family.

The peasant man turned his head and saw that although Jia Hongkang was dressed richly, he had a kind face, and felt comfortable in his heart. He smiled and replied, "We are going to Jiuyuan Academy to register my boys and girls."

As he spoke, he looked at a pair of teenage children next to him.

The two children looked curiously at Jia Hongkang and his caravan.

Jia Hongkang knew that Jiuyuan Academy was opened by King Lin two years ago. Its low tuition fees attracted many students to study in Jiuyuan City.

No matter how low the tuition fee is, it is still a large expense for ordinary people. Add in the consumption of pens, ink, paper and inkstones, and ordinary people are often unable to do so.

The farm boy and his family in front of me are all wearing coarse cloth. Although they are not mended and starched, they are living a decent life. But sending a pair of children to study?

Can you afford it?

He had heard that Jiuyuan Academy had opened a women's academy, but he didn't know the details.

Jia Hongkang asked, "Does Jiuyuan Women's Home also accept such older children?"

He originally thought that Jiuyuan Women's College was similar to the women's school in the capital, and was specially opened for wealthy families.

The farm boy is a good talker, "All the girls from seven to fifteen years old are accepted by the girls' academy. Girls in Jiuyuan City don't have to pay for food when they enter the academy. Only boys have to pay more, and those who can't pay can be used for work."

Worth living.

The shopkeeper hasn’t been to Jiuyuan City for a while. Our Jiuyuan City has changed a lot now..."

Suddenly there was a gentle sound of horse bells coming from behind.

The peasant man looked back and said to Jia Hongkang, "Shopkeeper, please move the carriage to the side. The guards are back. They should have gone to fight the barbarians."

Before he finished speaking, he only heard cheers from behind.

Jia Hongkang asked Handlebar to pull over, and Handlebar hurriedly drove the carriage to the side of the road. He was also curious about what was going on. After the carriage stopped, he jumped down and looked towards the road.

I saw a group of people on horseback coming from a distance. They were all wearing armor. They were not riding fast, and the horses were running forward at small steps.

"What a majestic horse." Chariot Shi praised. The guard's horse was a head taller than his carriage horse.

The peasant man explained to them, "This is Mr. Lu's third bodyguard. Look, the leader is Mr. Lu. I don't know how many barbarians they killed today."

The guards' cavalry came running over. There were about thirty people, all of them dusty and full of evil spirits.

There are human heads hanging on almost every horse, varying in number. The faces of the heads are covered with cloth, and only the hair of the heads can be seen in a strange and dirty style, which is a barbarian hairstyle.

Jia Hongkang looked at the head, feeling a little uncomfortable in his stomach and couldn't help but look away.

People around him clapped their hands, and the farmer followed suit, and his two children followed his example.

This is the origin of the reputation of the strong folk customs in remote areas? Jia Hongkang thought.

"Good kill!" cried the peasant man.

When the cavalry team passed by, the peasant man became a little excited and said to Jia Hongkang, "The shopkeeper doesn't know that these barbarians have come to our Linzhou territory.

Commander Ruan found sweet potato seeds, and we finally had enough to eat, but the barbarians started making trouble again.

These barbarians killed everyone they saw and robbed everything they saw. In one village, more than a hundred people were killed and only a dozen people were left. Finally, they found a way to survive by defecting to Jiuyuan City.

Commander Ruan knew about it and sent his bodyguards to kill the barbarians, which was regarded as avenging those people. Whenever there were barbarians making trouble, the bodyguards would go out and kill the barbarians.

Let the girl at home go to the academy in the hope that she can learn some martial arts..."

The peasant man wanted to continue talking, but the girl next to him pulled down his clothes, "Dad, we can't make it in time."

The farm boy thought about it, but that was not the case, and smiled sheepishly at Jia Hongkang, "I'm sorry, shopkeeper, we should go sign up."

"No, it's me who delayed me, brothers. Go quickly. See you later." Jia Hongkang's face became even more kind after hearing the good news.

"Hey, see you later." The farmer's family hurriedly walked in the other direction.

Jia Hongkang knew about the barbarians going south. The change of general troops at the border half a year ago allowed a group of barbarians to find an opportunity to sneak into the territory of Daqi.

Those who came to this area should be from this group of barbarians. If so, it makes sense for the people in Jiuyuan City to hate the barbarians.

There is a garrison in Linzhou. The garrison does not go to fight the barbarians, but the guards of King Lin...

Jia Hongkang said to the handlebar, "Let's go."

Jia Hongkang said to the handlebar, "Let's go."

Just as he was about to put down the curtain, he glanced around and saw two people cleaning the road on the side of the road.

The two of them were good-looking, wore the clothes of the young master, and had their heads tied up as Taoist priests. He recognized them at a glance as both of them were subordinates of King Lin.

He didn't pay much attention to the two men cleaning the road. Linwang's men behaved a lot strangely, and they often went to the blacksmith shop to work for a day for free.

Jia Hongkang was surprised at first, and then laughed, "What fun is sweeping the floor? I didn't know that King Lin found so many people with weird quirks."

The three carriages soon arrived in front of a shop. Jia Hongkang got out of the car. Manager Lin in the shop saw that his boss was coming and hurriedly greeted him out of the shop. "Boss, how was your journey?"

Jia Hongkang said, "It's okay, we didn't encounter any big trouble."

A waiter came out of the shop, said hello to the owner, and directed the carriage into the backyard to unload the goods.

Jia Hongkang stepped into the shop.

The main seller in his shop is the Four Treasures of the Study, so he was very happy to hear the news that both men and women from Jiuyuan Academy were buying them.

Regardless of whether the academy charges money or not, buying paper and pens will always cost money. With more students, the business in his shop will increase accordingly.

The fact is that there are two or three people in the shop who are choosing a complete set of the four treasures of the study, and the assistants are taking care of them.

Manager Lin said to Jia Hongkang, "Master, let's go to the backyard and have a rest."

Jia Hongkang waved his hand casually, "No need for now. I think the changes in Jiuyuan City are not small. What are they?"

Manager Lin said with joy on his face, "My boss is asking, it sounds like it will be a great thing for our shop."
