Chapter 55: The Country Bumpkin From the Capital

"When a person is born, his nature is good. Natures are similar, but habits make them different..."

"The sky and earth are dark yellow, the universe is vast and boundless. The sun and the moon wax and wane, and the stars are lined up..."

Walking on the country path, Ning Qingxuan heard the sound of local farmers' children reading aloud in a nearby school built by Shenzhou.

The sound was so beautiful that Ning Qingxuan even stopped for a moment, closed her eyes and listened carefully.

"Nothing can make me happier than spreading the Kingly Way, letting the children of foreign countries read the Three Character Classic and the Thousand Character Classic for enlightenment, so that they can learn the Way of the Saints and cultivate benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and trustworthiness."

The general stood aside with a smile on his face, but Ying, who was watching all this through Yi Xin Pure Land, and the Son of God next to him could not quite understand Ning Qingxuan's feelings.

Ning Qingxuan didn't care either.

To spread the sage and kingly way to foreign lands, to civilize other ethnic groups, to make them speak Huxia, write Huxia characters, wear Huxia clothes, to change their customs, and ultimately to completely integrate them into the Huxia nation - this is the highest romance that belongs only to the Huxia nation.

This has been true throughout history.

Although those children did not speak the imperial official language fluently, with a strong accent, and even had many wrong pronunciations, it did not matter. Ning Qingxuan believed that after a few years or more, this land would become no different from the mainland of Daxia.

In this world where the productivity of ordinary people is severely lacking and children are basically counted as part of the labor force, these children should originally help with housework.

There will also be no parents like the people in Shenzhou who try their best to make their children read and learn to read.

In fact, when Yang Xingshu ordered schools to be established everywhere in Qushui County and required all children to enroll, the people of Qushui County were resistant for a while.

But soon, these resistances disappeared as the imperial officials distributed various agricultural tools and production machinery and equipment.

The children are all learning it, which will naturally influence the adults in turn.

To this day, many adults in Qushui County have begun to learn the imperial official language actively or passively.

These people have even begun to imitate the dress of the Shenzhou people and put on clothes that are completely different from before.

Isn't it just changing clothes, changing lifestyle, and learning a new language?

Only a fool would not want to pay this price to live such a wonderful life as we have now.

Qushui County is changing spontaneously with great enthusiasm of the local people, taking on a new look every day.

While strolling on the newly built road outside the city, Ning Qingxuan saw a group of caravan members who might have come here for the first time and looked at everything in a curious way.

Especially when they looked at the farmers operating mechanical farm tools and happily working in the fields, the caravan boss's face showed unconcealable greed.

A local mother and daughter passed by, and the girl pointed at the boss and said crisply:

"Mom, that uncle is so scary!"

The mother quickly pulled her daughter aside and said, "Ignore them. They are country bumpkins from the capital."

"Oh, I see. It's the country bumpkin uncle from the capital~"

Obviously, since the mother and daughter were communicating in their original language, the caravan members could naturally understand them.

Looking at the caravan boss with a livid and unsightly face, the Son of God in the distance almost laughed so hard that he rolled to the ground, holding his stomach.

After laughing enough, the Son of God patted Ning Qingxuan on the shoulder with a happy face: "Little guy, this is so funny. A country bumpkin from the imperial capital... Hahahahahaha..."

"What are you laughing at?" Ning Qingxuan glanced at the Son of God, "Aren't you also a country bumpkin fox from Inazuma?"

Miko: "?"

The shadow in the Pure Land of One Heart: "????"

Although Ning Qingxuan was arguing with the Son of God, Ying felt as if he had been stabbed for no reason.

"Damn it! What's wrong with Inazuma?"

Although he said this, after following the general's gaze to see the new look of Qushui County, Ying's heart was already wavering.

The shadow that had been peeking at the screen at a high intensity knew clearly what this place looked like in the past. It was a barren place that was far inferior to the countryside outside Inazuma Castle.

But in just a short period of time, the entire Qushui County has undergone earth-shaking changes. After Ying asked himself, he found that even if his sister was still alive, she could not do better than this.

What made Ying even more sad and angry was that the general actually agreed with Ning Qingxuan's words and did not hide his contempt for the Son of God.

To look down on the Son of God is to look down on her. General, please wake up!

I am your mother! You unfilial daughter!

——Inside Ying's heart, a groundhog roared.

…dividing line…

Esdeath is very active.

She even only rested for one day in the imperial capital before she once again led an army of 50,000 and marched towards Qushui County in a mighty force.

During this process, Esdeath, just like in the original plot, used her authority to summon the imperial weapon users within the empire.

However, this time, Esdeath asked the imperial weapon users who received the conscription order to meet up directly in the direction of Qushui County, and after suppressing the rebels together with her, return to the imperial capital for hunting and night raids.

In Qushui County, in the other palace where the Crown Prince Ning Qingxuan was temporarily staying, Yang Xingshu was reporting to Ning Qingxuan:

"The news spread quickly. Many people in Qushui County have already learned that Esdeath is about to arrive."

"It didn't cause panic among the people, did it?"

"No."

Yang Xingshu smiled confidently, "Ordinary people rarely have the opportunity to come into contact with imperial weapon users.

Although they know how powerful these people are, they don't have a direct impression of them.

They can't imagine that Esdeath is actually a strong person who can fight against an army alone."

"The Dragon Flame Army's thunderous actions to wipe out bandits in various places during this period have already left the people in the county with an impression that they are invincible. They believe that the Empire has the strength to repel the enemy."

"In addition, I have dispatched a reconnaissance team to hover over the Esdeath Army 24 hours a day. We know their route very well."

"According to my plan, the plain in the south of Qushui County will be the best place to annihilate the enemy. It is also close to the territories of several other nobles next door. After destroying the enemy, the Longyan Army can easily take over these pieces of land as well."

Ning Qingxuan was not worried about this battle at all.

He was more concerned about another thing: "Are there any news about the Imperial Dimension Array Shangri-La?"

"There is news."

Yang Xingshu nodded. "Intelligence shows that this imperial device is in the hands of Minister Ernest's son, Sheila.

Lan Yingci's spies also have clues about Sheila's whereabouts and are searching for him with all their might.

However, this guy can teleport with the imperial device, so the process is more difficult."

"It's good to have clues. After this battle, hand over the clues about Silla to me. If there are any difficulties with Lan Ying Ci, I will do it myself."

"Here——!"
