The official documents sent from Huazhou to Beijing were delivered by the inn, and then the approval from Beijing took about a month. There was no express delivery from Tian Shoulou through an escort agency or a carriage. Jiang Anyi did not intend to wait for the reply from the court. He had to do a lot of things, and time was not waiting for me.

Jiang Anyi decided to inspect the county school, and the century-long plan was the basis for people. After a group of personal guards who followed him, Park Tianhao, Huang Zhu and others were all sent back to the army by Jiang Anyi. At the beginning of the war in Huazhou, the governor was killed. In order to ensure Jiang Anyi's safety, the emperor ordered him to select 300 personal guards in the army, but Jiang Anyi only selected 130. These people were all soldiers in the army, and they made many contributions to Jiang Anyi. Over the years, there were only 76 left in more than 100 personal guards, but the lowest rank was also the eighth-rank Xuanjie lieutenant. People like Park Tianhao who followed Jiang Anyong to participate in the war in Beimo were even higher. Park Tianhao was already a guerrilla general under the fifth rank.

These personal guards were all in a long battle, and after Jiang Anyi's careful training, they were all very skilled. Guan Pingzhong couldn't stop smiling. These people were all backbones in the army. The strength of the Anxi Camp has increased a lot. As for whether these people would let Jiang Anyi's power affect the Anxi Protectorate, Guan Pingzhong didn't care. Some things were not necessary to be too serious about the iron-killed soldiers.

According to the Marquis Zheng Li, there could be a hundred personal guards, Jiang Anyi symbolically selected thirty people from the army. These people were recommended by Jiang Anyong, Park Tianhao and others, and fought brave men in the Gobi clearance of horse thieves. The soldiers of the entire Anxi camp knew that it was a good thing to go to the government to make the adults a personal guard. Not only did they have a lot of money, but their martial arts grew rapidly and their official positions were promoted quickly. Even some 70-8-rank captains were moved.

Before returning to the guards, Jiang Anyi did something to help these guards get married and start a business. Each guard gave him 200 taels of silver to settle the family. The guards were a little reluctant to leave. Jiang Anyi treated them like brothers for many years, and experienced life and death together. The guards of Jiang Zhengluo wanted to get married, and the matchmakers of the Huiye Mansion were happy. This was a good business. However, most of these guards chose the maids in the Jiang Mansion. In addition to the sent by the women from Pingshan Town, they grew up in the Fuci Yangyuan, and some guards returned to their hometowns to obey their parents' arrangements.

Ning Hu also got married. After driving away the Western Regions Allied Forces, he went home to visit his relatives. His parents married Wang, a woman from the neighboring village, for him. Jiang Anyi sent someone to send a gift of 200 taels. A month after marriage, Ning Hu returned to Huiye Mansion and just caught up with Jiang Anyi to arrange for his personal guard to go to Anxi Camp. Ning Hu told Jiang Anyi that he was tired of military life and wanted to be a personal guard beside Jiang Anyi. So Ning Hu became the chief guard, Rao Ansi, Bai Yifei, and Wang Hao, the three of them were deputy. Mr. Zhang brought from his home and thirty people selected from the army to form the Jiangfu personal guard.

The people who visited the county to inspect the county were Rao Ansi, Wang Hao and forty personal guards, and more than 40 horses were riding on the official road, which was particularly eye-catching. The first stop was at Jimin Academy. The former mountain chief of Jimin Academy, Lu Wenwen, had already retired and returned to the Imperial College to become a doctor of Imperial College in the sixth rank. This gilded promotion made many people jealous.

Without informing Jimin Academy in advance, the group of people dismounted in front of the mountain gate. The students who were traveling were looking at the group of people dressed up in surprise. This year, the imperial examination was 16 people in Huazhou, and the world was shocked. It was a blessing that he could win three or five people in Huazhou's imperial examinations. It was a big deal that he could win three or five people in Huazhou. At once, he was a big shot and the emperor was looking at him. Ten of these sixteen students came from Jimin Academy, and the other six people had also studied on the Jimin Academy.

Jimin Academy became popular all of a sudden, as famous as Zechang Academy and Zhangyi Academy. With the Huangyang Academy in Lizhou and the Imperial College, scholars all over the world have five holy places. Zechang, Huangyang and Jimin are all related to Jiang'anyi. Jiang'anyi's deeds of helping and promoting education have been mentioned, and they are well-known in the Shilin.

The scholars don’t know who the Imperial College Priest is, and who is the chief of the academy, but everyone knows it when it comes to Jiang Anyi.

After Lu Wenwen left, Fang Shishu hired Ying Guohan, a famous scholar in Huazhou, to succeed as the mountain chief. The invasion of the Western Regions coalition forces did not affect Jimin Academy. The scholars in Huazhou who were in full swing for half a year had a leave of absence and returned home in glory. Ying Guohan is a native of Huazhou and attaches great importance to enhancing the reputation of Jimin Academy. Taking advantage of the opportunity of returning to the hometown, they invited them to the academy lecture hall to teach. There was a constant stream of students coming to listen to the lecture. Today, Yang Yufei, a Jinshi in Dunguan County, spoke the "Zigong Asking for Political Affairs" in the Master's words. The news was notified five days ago, and people came to listen to the lecture.

Jiang Anyi asked Wang Hao to take forty guards to rest at the foot of the mountain. He and Rao Ansi strode up the mountain. Although the two were dressed up, the academy was full of people today. In addition to the students in blue, there were also some waiters in brown clothes and squire in gorgeous clothes, and no one paid much attention to them.

When he visited the old place again, Jiang Anyi visited around. Over the years, Jimin Academy built several new buildings, a library and a temple, and there were more pavilions and pavilions in the mountains. The trees beside the road that he planted in the past were as tall as a cover. When he was going up the mountain, Jiang Anyi noticed that there were many more names for scholarship on the stone wall. No wonder Jimin Academy has accumulated a lot of talents and has achieved the current academic performance of 16 people.

When Jiang Anyi came to the lecture hall, he found that it was already crowded. Not to mention entering the lecture hall, even the corridor outside the lecture hall was full of students. At this time, the group separated the crowd and entered the lecture hall. Jiang Anyi noticed that a white-haired old man was next to a dark blue official uniform. It was estimated that the old man was the mountain chief Ying Guohan. The dark blue official uniform was written by an eighth-rank official. Yang Yufei was 62nd in the second grade this year and should be awarded the eighth-rank official uniform.

Most people were not crowded, and Jiang Anyi did not squeeze in. When he saw a bluestone outside the lecture hall, he leaned against the bluestone. The lecture hall began to preach, and the surroundings were quiet. The students held their breath and listened quietly. Jiang Anyi's ears and eyes were clear and the words in the lecture hall were heard.

"...There are three things to rule: enough food, enough soldiers and the people's trust. The country is based on the people, and the people's food is the most important..." Yang Yufei's preaching was in line with rules and explained the importance of the three, talking about the Master's belief that people's trust is the most important, and enough soldiers are the next. Only by obtaining people's livelihood can the world be stable.

"......If you leave food, you may starve to death. However, since ancient times, there have been deaths, which are not enough to cause trouble. The people believe in the court, and even if they do not have enough food, they can still share hardships. If there is no trust in the people, even if there is no external trouble, internal strife will arise. If the country is not stable, the people will not establish without trust."

The applause rang like thunder, and Jiang Anyi also applauded softly, which made the people around him roll their eyes. The warrior pretended to be able to hear the words from such a distance. Does he understand what it means? But when he saw someone applauding, he pretended to be a substitute and despised him.

Next was the time for the students to ask questions. Jiang Anyi was about to leave when he suddenly heard someone in the lecture hall whispering loudly, "The Master said that people are the most trustworthy, and the sub-sage once said that people are the most important, and the country is the second most important, and the king is the least important. I wonder if the gentleman thinks people are more important than the king? How should people's trust be established?"

When the lecture hall was quiet, Jiang Anyi stopped his legs. When he first entered Zechang, Mr. Su presided over the question. The question was "Yin has three lords, Wei Zi left him, Ji Zi was a slave, Bi Gan died of advice. Try to tell the difference between the three." At that time, he answered the three without distinction. If the king can advise, he would advise him, and if he could not advise, he would leave. He would leave him with useful body, he would do practical things for the country and the people, and the final result would determine the difference. In this reply, there was the meaning of "the people are the most important, the country is the next, and the king is the least". Unexpectedly, after more than ten years, I heard someone ask him again at Jimin Academy, and I wanted to hear how Yang Yufei answered it.

After a moment of quiet in the lecture hall, Yang Yufei's voice sounded, "The Book of Documents says that the people are the foundation of the country, and the country is peaceful. The king is ordered by heaven, and the king should follow the people's will and govern the country with benevolence; all officials are appointed by the king, and the herders on behalf of heaven and the people should love the people.

Like a son, the people should abide by the laws and regulations and serve the country. It is important to know that heaven hears and sees them all from the people. The king, the official, and the people will fulfill their responsibilities. God is happy to see them, and the world will be stable and the people will be trusted and independent."

Jiang Anyi frowned lightly. Yang Yufei's words avoided the question of who is less important. Of course, since the Sage said that the people are the most important, all the kings have been downplaying the meaning of this sentence. Jiang Anyi remembered that the people in Yuanhuajiang were surrounded by bandits and made chaos. It was because the people who had no food would cause trouble. How could the people who had no food have trust in the court? He couldn't help but say loudly, "The wise men once said that the granaries were full and they knew etiquette, and they knew honor and disgrace. Those in power should let the people have enough food and clothing, read books and recognize etiquette, and then the people would have trust."

Everyone looked at Jiang Anyi in a sideways. Ying Guohan’s vigorous voice sounded in the lecture hall, “I don’t know which gentleman is coming. Ying Mou is missing and welcomes him. Why don’t you ask to go to the lecture hall to talk.”

Jiang Anyi walked through the crowd into the lecture hall. Someone recognized him and shouted loudly, "It's Lord Jiang, the strategy has brought Lord Jiang." He immediately cheered everywhere, and everyone came forward to greet him. Jiang Anyi's reputation in the Shilin was as high as the sky, and was regarded as the master of the old master Fan Yanzhong. Moreover, he was indifferent to the aspirations of the young man. He was able to come to Jimin Academy, which was a grand event in the Shilin.

Ying Guohan, Yang Yufei and the Jimin Academy picked it up. Ying Guohan excitedly said, "Mr. Jiang is here to visit Jimin Academy. The teachers and students of the academy are very encouraged. It is a blessing for the academy. Please come from the academy."

After the ceremony, Ying Guohan said, "The adults said outside that the people have enough food and clothing, read and recognize etiquette, and the people are trustworthy. The adults served as the governor of Huazhou for six years. The government was harmonious, and all industries were prosperous. The people were convinced. Please tell everyone how to rule and how to convince the people?"

"The Master said that there are three types of people in power: enough food, enough soldiers, and the people trust the most. However, if there is no food, enough soldiers, and the people trust it, it is difficult to establish the people's trust." When people who were traveling in the academy heard that Jiang Anyi came, they gathered together, and the lecture hall was surrounded by three layers inside and three layers outside.

"Jiang ruled with enough food as the primary task. He was both scholars, farmers, industry and commerce, and was trusted by the emperor. The people of Huazhou were full of food and clothing. In the battles of Huazhou, the Western Regions coalition forces repeatedly invaded. The court moved the Anxi Protectorate to Huazhou. In the 17th year of Fengle, the Western Regions invaded, Jiang led 3,000 light cavalry to help retreat. This was the effect of sufficient soldiers, first with enough food, then with enough soldiers, and then with the people. Last year, the Western Regions coalition forces invaded, half of Huazhou fell, and the people were displaced. Then the Chaoting army drove away the people of the Western Regions, and the people returned one after another, and all industries were prospered again. The Anxi camp lacked enough troops and recruited troops from all directions, because the people trusted it, so how could this be done?"

"So the Master said that the people's trust is the most important. Only by first letting the people have enough food and enough troops can the people be established. Once the ruler can win the trust of the people, they can first go to the army and then eat when they encounter unscrupulous situations, and the people are not distracted from their morality. The ruler should take winning the trust of the people as the key, and then food and military preparations can be completed with one heart. This is a foolish opinion of Jiang's ruler, and we will encourage you."

The applause like a storm echoed in the lecture hall for a long time. Jiang Anyi remembered the purpose of this trip and added with a smile, "All you are scholars. You should know how to establish yourself with virtue, and then learn literature. Text carries the way, and literature enlightens the way, so that the people of Huazhou can recognize etiquette, know honor and disgrace, and the establishment of people's trust requires you to rely on you."

Jiang Anyi's speech at Jimin Academy quickly spread throughout Huazhou. The debate about the king being inferior to the people and the people being trusted first spread from Huazhou. Everyone in the twenty-seven states of Zhengzhou had to say a few words. Jiang Anyi did not expect that his remarks at Jimin Academy would spread so widely and cause such great controversy. He inspected county schools all the way to appease the people. Every time he went, he strongly advocated progress in studying and set off a wave of study and study in Huazhou.
