Huang Mu specifically reported the situation to Gao Baoshan. Although they did not understand the reason why Zhang Jian wanted the wasteland, Gao Baoshan decided to test the other party, especially when he made himself suffer the old hatred of Twenty Army Sticks, so he had to vent his anger.Zhang Jian found Li Shenzhi, the squire of Lu Si, who strongly supported Dasheng's reclamation, and the shareholders also contributed money, which relieved everyone's worries.

Now Naige took his students to survey the wasteland and happened to be standing on the military field, so he was caught by Gao Baoshan's men.No matter how Naige explained, Gao Baoshan refused to communicate due to the language barrier until Zhang Jian came in person to explain the situation and begged Gao Baoshan to be noble and let him go.

Soon after, the Eight-Power Allied Forces entered the city, and the Queen Mother and the Emperor were forced to hunt westward in a hurry. They learned from the pain and issued an imperial edict on the way, and then issued a series of edicts to open up channels of speech and accept advice and seek talents. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that there seemed to be another intention to implement a new policy.Liu Kun came to Zhang Jian to discuss reforms and asked him to write a charter and submit it. Zhang Jian proposed three reforms. He always believed that the integration of the old and the new was the best, so he named it - Reform Pingyi -.

The students of Yingzhou Academy expressed their dissatisfaction and became restless due to the invasion of foreigners. Only one student named Jiang Daomin remained calm and composed.Jiang Daomin took his classmate Jiang Qian to find Zhang Jian for answers, hoping that the other party could answer his questions.Zhang Jian told them that the destruction of the world is in danger of the destruction of the country, and protecting the country is something that kings and ministers should consider. Protecting the world is closely related to everyone. What's more, the two palaces still exist and the country is not destroyed. The students only need to study hard and save the country. As long as the cultural context and morality are continuous, the world will naturally not be destroyed.

In Zhang Jian's view, people should not mourn when their hearts die, and the country should not mourn when its people die. The so-called subjugation of the world means the subjugation of the people. There are only two things that lead to the subjugation of the people. One is moral decay, and the other is poverty of livelihood. Poverty is due to the lack of industry, and moral decadence is due to lack of education. That's why he decided to set up industry and provide education in return. He encouraged students to work with him to save the country after graduation. Jiang Daomin and others were deeply inspired.

In order to resolve the military field matter as soon as possible, Zhang Jian led his people to negotiate with Gao Baoshan in person, and frankly stated his intention and sincerity. Unexpectedly, Gao Baoshan asked for a price of 10 taels per mu for both wasteland and farmland, and he could only rent it for two years first, and the subsequent rent would be negotiated after the expiry.Obviously, no one could accept this condition at all, and the negotiation came to an end. After Zhang Jian returned, he felt that Gao Baoshan was not sincere in negotiating business, and suspected that someone was instigating him behind the scenes.

Shen Yuhe came to see his daughter with money. When he heard that Zhang Jian was reclaiming wasteland, he was definitely not optimistic about it, but Wu Daomin believed in Zhang Jian's ability.Seeing his daughter supporting Zhang Jian so much, Shen Yuhe couldn't say anything else. Originally, he wanted to give Zhang Jian a banknote, but he was afraid that Zhang Jian would invest all the money in reclamation, so he simply gave it to Wu Daomin.

Everyone continued to prepare for land reclamation locally, even if the conditions were difficult. Naige told them the history of land reclamation from the sea in the Netherlands, which gave everyone confidence.On the other hand, Huang Mu was sowing discord around Gao Baoshan, saying that Zhang Jian would definitely not retreat despite the difficulties and would come back sooner or later. He analyzed Zhang Jian's profit from it with a villain's heart and encouraged Gao Baoshan to raise prices.

On the other side, Jiang Zhili, Shen Lanjun, and Liangzu were spreading lime in the fields. The three of them were talking and laughing when suddenly a group of people rushed up and pushed Jiang Zhili to the ground without saying a word, cursing and telling them to get out.Liangzu talked to the other party in a good voice, but these people were unreasonable at all. They claimed that the wasteland was owned by an owner. They occupied the fields and benefited from it, and the local people had no way of living.

Jiang Zhili was so angry that he started to argue with them. One of them became angry and raised a stick to hit someone.Liang Zu had quick eyes and quick hands, and stood up to block a stick from the two of them.Upon seeing this, Jiang Zhili hurriedly went to find the doctor, and happened to meet his father. Jiang Mengsheng also immediately told Zhang Jian the news.
