Chapter 226 The saint’s reputation rises.

The prelude to the event has been set, and all this happened during the two months when Ang Lee made a fortune.

The people who did the work have already gone to Qing State.

And the Northern Qi Dynasty has not been peaceful these days.

Of course, this quietness is not a bad thing, but rather a sign that the people are jubilant and excited.

The reason is naturally that they know all the truth.

Cangzhou County was compensated to Qing Kingdom after the country was defeated in the previous war, but the national teacher Li An took Cangzhou County back without any soldiers, which was really a great contribution to the court.

This news has spread throughout the country due to the deliberate spread of people with ulterior motives. The happiest people among them are the people of Cangzhou County which was previously occupied by Nanqing.

Although these people became people of Nanqing in the past year, they always wanted to return to Beiqi.

Under the rule of Northern Qi, although they did not live very well, with the addition of the national teacher, they at least had hope. Besides, there were no harsh national policies before, and the taxation was acceptable to them. In addition, after so many years of peaceful life, they had already accepted the rule of the Zhan family from the bottom of their hearts.

The people are simple and honest. No matter how good the world is, there is no place like their own country where they can feel more belonging.

At some point, the people of Northern Qi once again recalled the various magical qualities of the national teacher Li An, and the visions he experienced when he returned from the north were once again discussed and recounted by the people.

I don't know where someone took the lead again, but Ang Lee's reputation became even greater than before, and the title of saint was brought up again.

The news bombarded one wave after another. When it came to mid-October, the court issued an announcement: the disciples of Li An, the national teacher, cultivated new grains, and now they have harvested a good harvest! The yield of the new rice variety per mu has reached more than 1,000 kilograms. Regardless of whether it was carefully nurtured by a dedicated person or whether it was due to the fertility of the land, people were excited and boiling!
As the imperial court announced that the new grain would be promoted nationwide and grain seeds would be provided to the people free of charge, this hot atmosphere became even more boiling and lasted for a long time!
"This batch of grain can only be used to make seeds. Even so, it is still not enough if we want to promote it nationwide!"

"Then we will strive to popularize it throughout the country next year, and strive to let the people have their first real harvest before the end of next year!"

"is teacher!"

"Thank you for your hard work!"

Looking at the three disciples who had become darker, Li An was deeply moved.

He couldn't throw the baby out with the bathwater because of what happened to the Xu brothers. He should focus more on running the Baijia Academy and the Royal Military Academy and train more talents.

"We are not tired. As long as we understand what our work means to the world, we will not feel tired!"

People always have their own values ​​to realize. This is a process of self-realization and self-satisfaction.

If you say it's simply for the sake of leaving a name in history, that would be tacky.

If there was no strong inner drive pushing them forward, Li An would be the first one to doubt that they could accomplish this task in such a short time.

"You are all good kids. Strictly speaking, you have surpassed the teacher!"

"Teacher, we still have a lot to learn from you!"

"Yes, teacher, please don't say that."

Seeing that the three of them had returned to last year's planning and discussion, Li An sighed with relief. Looking at the red clouds in the sky outside, he gradually felt that the world seemed to have changed a little because of his arrival!

In Wanshizhai.

"Stop doing so many unnecessary things."

Li An was talking about the saint's title. Wang Shisanlang, who was sitting opposite him, smiled softly and said, "I learned the words of the famous master taught by the teacher. I did this just to make it easier for me to act in the future."

Li An did not argue any more. What happened was a foregone conclusion. If he said more, it would seem pretentious.

"What's the situation in Qing Kingdom? Has any news been sent back?" The Black Ice Guard was in charge of external affairs, and he had left no means or channels to contact them, while the Embroidered Uniform Guard was in charge of internal affairs, and they became the bridge of communication between the two.

"The news has come back, and things are going well. If I'm right, Fan Jian will be very busy now." At this point, Shisan Wang rarely mentioned something off topic: "I wanted to ask before, how did the Fan family get their names?"

“This is pretty casual huh?”

Maybe it's just some people's bad taste in naming?

There is no need to say much about Fan Jian, it is just the literal meaning. Fan Xian's name also has its own meaning. According to some regions in China, it means to be disliked.
"Let's not talk about this anymore. Names are just symbols. Send the message out. Since you've already started, then add more strength and add more fuel to the fire."

"understood."

The two of them had a rare moment of leisure and didn't want to talk too much about business at the moment. They just sat on the chairs and drank tea by themselves, feeling so comfortable!
After chatting for a while, Li An turned the topic to Wang Shisanlang.

"You have been with me for a few years. How do you feel about this? Have you ever thought about going back to Dongyi City to meet your master?"

Shisan Wang looked at Li Ang's face and found that there was basically no change on his face, as if time had no effect on him.

"He looks quite like my master."

Li An nodded: "There is no need to rush to do things. You can go back to Dongyi City when you have free time."

"Sir, do you want me to go to Dongyi City for something?"

"Well you won't have any friends if you keep chatting like this!"

Having said that, Li An still took out a letter that he had prepared long ago from the space and handed it to Wang Shisanlang, saying: "It's not a big deal. The main thing is to ask you to return home, and delivering the letter is secondary."

"But I still have a lot of things to do. Why not use a carrier pigeon to deliver the letter?"

"This letter must be delivered to Si Gu Jian personally."

"I understand." Wang Shisanlang nodded and a cheerful smile appeared on his face.

To be honest, he also missed Jianlu, where his master and fellow brothers, as well as the deceased Yun Zhilan, lived.

He was originally a sword fanatic, and had been following Li An since he was ordered to become a master. Although he was in a high position now, it was not what he pursued. Not only was he busy with official duties and dealing with many things every day, he didn't have many opportunities to practice swordsmanship and fight with masters, but he never complained about anything.

It’s just right to take this opportunity to return to Dongyi City.

The first is to visit the master, and the second is to be able to practice and fight with my fellow brothers again!

He had been learning two sets of sword techniques from Li Ang for a long time, and he was itching to get his hands dirty, so he decided to go back and surprise his fellow brothers!
He didn't know that, in fact, with his current strength, he had already surpassed his brothers and became the strongest under Si Gu Jian. After reaching the upper limit of cultivation, he actually gained more insights into the realm, which could not be achieved by practicing hard.

Si Gu Jian also practiced top-level martial arts, but he attached great importance to talent and character, and emphasized the importance of paying attention to the meaning rather than the form.

However, Li Ang's sword skills are completely opposite. He starts from sword moves and the moves in those skills are naturally very exquisite!

And Shisan Wang, who not only practiced the Si Gu sword technique that emphasized intention over form, but also learned two sets of exquisite sword moves from Li Ang, his strength was already incomparable!
"By the way! What's going on between you and Haitang Duoduo?"

puff!
The tea gushed out of Wang Shisanlang's mouth.

"Ahem! It's just a simple contact between official business, it's all business!"

"Ah yes yes, you are right!"
