Xiang Lang knew that Governor Feng had always been on good terms with the Li family - of course, not the Li family clan in Shu.

It is the six-bedroom Li family in the former Shu region, the current Li family in Pingxiang, and the Li family in Longxi.

The relationship between the two Li families and Feng Jishi is well known.

Governor Feng mentioned two people with the surname Li, and most likely they came from these two families.

In Xiang Lang's view, over the years, the Li family in Pingxiang and the Li family in Longxi have made a lot of contributions to the Han Dynasty.

Now, let alone two quotas, even ten or eight extra quotas would be taken care of, and he would pretend not to see anything.

It was as if he was pretending not to see Ma Su, who was being somewhat secretive, trying to sneak into the examination room without attracting the attention of Governor Feng and himself.

It wasn't until Ma Su's figure disappeared behind the screen wall that Xiang Lang said:

"After the exam, you should be able to regain your original name, right? I finally don't have to be ashamed of Ji Chang who is in hell..."

Feng Jishi smiled softly and looked at Xiang Lang teasingly:

"I'm afraid Xiang Gong is thinking too much. Ma Youchang is afraid that he won't be able to regain his original name so soon."

Xiang Lang was stunned, obviously he didn't expect that Governor Feng would say this:

"Junhou...what does this mean?"

Governor Feng did not answer, but turned his head and glanced elsewhere.

Xiang Lang followed his gaze and happened to see the Wu delegation standing in the distance watching the ceremony.

He understood something in his heart, but also couldn't believe it, so he asked in a low voice:

"Is it possible that kings and princes have plans for Wu?"

Governor Feng said "tsk":

"Isn't Mr. Xiang joking? The Han Dynasty and the Wu Kingdom are brothers. They respect each other's throne. How can there be any plan?"

When Xiang Lang heard this, he was startled and looked at Governor Feng with doubtful eyes: Although what you said is true, I always feel that something is wrong.

"The big man promised to give Wu war horses, so Wu was willing to exchange war ships; but now that he has a cavalry army, he still needs cavalry generals."

"So I want to exchange the method of commanding the cavalry army for the Wu people's skill of handling ships. Is it fair?"

Governor Feng said leisurely, "I'll have to send some students over to study, right?"

When it comes to talent selection through examinations, Governor Feng can accept people who are not from a school to participate - as long as you have talent.

In the two Han Dynasties for hundreds of years, wasn't this how people were recruited?

But when it came to being sent to Wu to learn shipbuilding or sailing, Governor Feng only believed in his own students.

"It's just that most of those students are young and have little understanding of world affairs. Therefore, I want to send an old man who is old and prudent and good at changing things to lead them to the Kingdom of Wu."

Apart from anything else, just because Ma Su comes from the "Jingzhou Ma family", he is also one of the most suitable candidates.

When Xiang Lang learned about Feng Yong's plan, he was overjoyed. If he hadn't been in front of a large audience, he would have almost thanked Governor Feng.

"Young people of a certain generation often thanked their rulers."

Governor Feng looked at Xiang Lang and said meaningfully:

"Mr. Xiang, you know that I have invested countless amounts of money and food for more than ten consecutive years to build Nanxiang College today."

"The students who come out of the academy are all my treasures. If anyone dares to mess up this matter, don't blame me for being ruthless."

To Feng Yong, every student who graduates from Nanxiang College is a precious talent.

At the same time, they are also the bargaining chips for Feng Yong to start planning for the unification of the world, to compete with the world's aristocratic families, and to rebuild the official system.

As long as these students are there, Dahan will have some initiative in selecting talents.

It would not be possible to unify the world, but in the end let those aristocratic families steal the fruits of victory in disguise.

Without these students, even if the world is unified, the officials who govern the world will still have to come from aristocratic families that monopolize intellectual resources.

In that case, what's the difference between having the fruits of victory stolen by a noble family?

How can the majestic ghost king work in vain?

The current Governor Feng can be regarded as a very important minister of the Han Dynasty and a powerful general on the frontier.

He was even the first person under the Prime Minister of the Han Dynasty to hold a heavy army.

It makes him say that he is "cruel and ruthless", the meaning of which is self-evident.

Although Xiang Lang is older,... the thing about high position and power is not about who is older.

Isn't it true that the Prime Minister of the Han Dynasty is more than ten years younger than Xiang Lang?

Thinking of the battle at Jieting and seeing Feng Jishishi's expression, Xiang Lang felt a chill in his heart and said quickly:

"Don't worry, Lord, I will definitely make it clear to Youchang when the time comes."

Governor Feng nodded and then smiled:

"It would be best if you come forward to the public."

Governor Feng felt that he and Ma Youchang could certainly be regarded as gentlemen's friends!

The friendship between gentlemen is as light as water. Since the other party is unwilling to reveal his real name, he has also been unwilling to take the initiative to come to see him in the past few years.

Then don't be ignorant and run away to find trouble.

Xiang Lang secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he heard Feng Jishi's words, and couldn't help but have a somewhat complicated look in his eyes.

Before Liangzhou was recaptured, the person who led the governor of Liangzhou from afar was Wei Yan.

It stands to reason that after regaining Liangzhou, the possibility of Wei Yan being appointed governor of Liangzhou is much greater than that of Feng Yong.

Letting Feng Yong take over as the governor of Longyou and Wei Yan as the governor of Liangzhou seemed to be the most appropriate arrangement at the time.

Therefore, the Prime Minister's final decision really surprised many people.

Although many people have no objections on the surface, they may not be murmuring in their hearts.

After all, just because he is too young, Feng Yong cannot convince the public.

Who would have expected that in just a few years, Liangzhou would develop water conservancy projects, reclaim wasteland, build pastures, and open workshops, all livestock would be prosperous, and both Qiang and Hu would serve as slaves.

Even the examination in Liangzhou was not resisted by the aristocratic families, and even the children of the aristocratic families participated.

If Wei Yan had been appointed governor of Liangzhou back then, it would have been difficult for Liangzhou to be as prosperous as it is today.

Thinking of this, Xiang Lang felt even more emotional.

Thinking again of the way Feng Jishi looked at the Wu envoy just now, Xiang Lang couldn't help but say:

"The Lord has been busy taking exams these days. This envoy from the State of Wu has visited me several times and wants to know about the Lord..."

Governor Feng showed his teeth and smiled slightly:

"There's no rush. It's not us who are in a hurry anyway."

Xiang Lang said hesitantly:

"For fear of damaging the goodwill between the two countries, it will be difficult for His Majesty and the Prime Minister to explain."

Feng Yongyong answered, his eyes flickered, and he asked:

"Who among the Wu people who disturbed Mr. Xiang should be blamed?"

"It's Lu Hao who is the reason."

"No one else?"

"Yes, there is also a man named Qin Bo who came to my door and gave me two gifts, which were quite substantial."

Hearing this, Governor Feng smiled even more:

"Forget it, Mr. Lu. I don't want to deal with him. It's too tiring. But after the exam, Mr. Xiang can inform Qin Bo and say that I can see him."

After hearing this, Xiang Lang had a puzzled look on his face:

"Lu Zizhang is the person in charge of the Wu mission. The prince did not talk to him, but instead talked to Qin Bo? Why is this?"

"Mr. Lu is a gentleman, and he is also very knowledgeable. I am not knowledgeable enough, so why dare I say anything in front of Gong Lu? How is this different from using an ax in the class, Ying's sect?"

Governor Feng coughed and said, "Besides, isn't there Mr. Xiang now? Mr. Xiang is knowledgeable and knowledgeable, so he can have a good chat with Mr. Lu for me."

The confusion in Xiang Lang's eyes became more intense: If you are knowledgeable, you are knowledgeable. Why do you have to add a gentleman in front?

However, doubts were doubts, but Xiang Lang was relieved to hear that Feng Jishi was finally willing to have formal talks.

In this matter, although the big man is not the one who is anxious, there is no way to keep delaying it like this.

Governor Feng was busy with affairs and could avoid seeing him.

But Xiang Lang was sent to Liangzhou by the imperial court. On the surface, he represented the Han Dynasty. He was not working in Liangzhou and was just an idler. He couldn't just say he didn't see him and just see him.

It was quite satisfying for the Wu people to ask for help from the big Han people, but it was really annoying to have Wu people come to their door every day and nag about how good Han and Wu were.

Governor Feng and Xiang Lang stood on top and whispered to each other, and no one else could hear what they were saying.

But when Lu Hao felt the eyes of the two guys drifting here intentionally or unintentionally, he always felt that something was not quite right.

But he quickly put this feeling aside, because what really frightened him was the scholars filing in.

When the last scholar disappeared from the school gate, then the school door creaked and finally closed with a "bang".

Lu Hao, who had always looked gloomy, actually trembled slightly and his face turned a little pale.

Even when Xiang Lang came over and said something to him, he didn't hear it at all.

Until Qin Boy pointedly said something in his ear:

"Lu Shangshu, Xiang Gong just came here specifically to say that Feng Junhou promised to provide good horses. Why does Shangshu look unhappy?"

Only then did Lu Hao suddenly wake up, but when he saw him, he forced a smile:

"I'm just worried."

"Why should the minister worry?"
