Chapter 116: Taixue Begins Classes to Conquer Western Xia
A month later.
The Quanzhen Taixue School was fully completed and the first batch of students began to be enrolled.
Because the private school of the teachers and disciples has just been established, there are no students who have graduated yet.
Therefore, the first batch of students of Quanzhen Taixue are all the sons of high-ranking officials and nobles.
Among them, most of them are women, mainly because the content taught by Quanzhen Taixue is not the Confucian classics recognized by the current era.
In addition, Chen Daosheng did not have a great Confucian reputation, and the dignitaries only regarded Quanzhen Taixue as a private school for literacy and hyphenation.
In the end, Mrs. Lin did not resist her daughter and sent Lin Chaoying to Quanzhen Taixue.
On the first day of the introduction, Chen Daosheng taught the students the Quanzhen Dharma and performed a ceremony to lift the roof.
There were 26 students in total, of whom 19 were women and the other seven were men.
The family was afraid that they would cause trouble, so they sent them to Taixue and let Chen Daosheng take care of them.
The content of the Taixue professors is very miscellaneous, and the classics of Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism are not too specific, but they only teach students how to read and comprehend.
Of course, mathematics, physics, chemistry, biology and ideological character are still indispensable parts.
Today is Chen Daosheng's first class, the women in the lecture hall are sitting in the front row, and the few people in the back are the children of Jiao'er Langdang.
"This article in your hands is taken from Zhuangzi's leisurely journey, and please recite it aloud first. ”
"There is a fish in the North Underworld, and its name is Kun.
The Kun is so big that I don't know how many thousands of miles it is.
Turned into a bird, its name is Peng.
Peng's back, I don't know how many thousands of miles it is, flies angrily, and its wings are like clouds hanging from the sky.
It is a bird, and the sea will migrate to the south.
The Southern Hades, the Heavenly Pond also.
......”
"Just this kind of article, master, I would have done it eight hundred years ago. A man in the back row said disdainfully, and several like-minded companions next to him nodded approvingly.
"Reading, you can't die reading, you must learn to divide paragraphs, divide sentences, draw key points, understand the central idea of the article, and the students look up at the class board. Chen Daosheng tapped the lecture board on the podium a few times with a ring ruler.
Then continued: "This paragraph seems to be about the Northern Underworld, but it is actually a metaphor for the human dantian......
It is said that more than 30 years ago, there was a family sect on the rivers and lakes, the free school.
The magic of the town faction of the Xiaoyao faction can't actually be called the magic of the town faction, it should be said that it is the foundation building magic skill, which is the ancestor of the Xiaoyao faction who comprehended it from this leisurely tour.
It is called the Northern Shengong, which can absorb the internal force of others and melt into its own body.
Of course, if you practice this skill, you will not be able to enter the realm of a grandmaster for the rest of your life.
The division of the realm of martial arts, there is no unified statement in the martial arts, the old man's master, the true master of the sect has classified the realm, and the old man will explain it to you one by one later.
The ancestor of the Carefree School is extremely talented, and if the Northern Spiritual Skill is practiced by outsiders, he will not be able to advance to the realm of the grandmaster for the rest of his life.
Just because the exercises of the Xiaoyao School are in the same line, and the Northern Shengong is practiced to the extreme, you can practice the Xiaoyao School's Zhenpai Divine Skill "Heaven and Earth for a Long Time Changchun Gong".
After practicing this skill, the longevity will rise greatly, and the martial arts realm can be forcibly promoted to the realm of the grandmaster.
In the future, you only need to slowly read a lot of books and increase your knowledge, and you can stabilize your realm.
The best masters throughout the ages, you have never heard of a single one who is illiterate. ”
"Sir, what you said is so mysterious, aren't all those great Confucians all top masters. The muttering man asked.
Chen Daosheng was not annoyed when he was interrupted, someone asked a question, proving that he was listening carefully, and then replied: "The Confucianists who are really well-read can indeed be said to be masters.
Their realm was already sufficient, but they didn't start cultivating.
Take the scholars and Confucians in Chongwen Yuan as an example, they have already condensed their true intentions in their hearts, as long as they insist on condensing their internal strength every day, they will be able to break through the innate sooner or later, and the realm of grandmasters is not certain. ”
"According to what Mr. said, Mr. is very knowledgeable, isn't he a great master? The man seemed to be quite unconvinced, and deliberately provoked.
When Lin Chaoying heard this, he secretly said that there was a good show to watch.
Chen Daosheng nodded and said seriously: "Yes, old man, I should be regarded as the best in the world." ”
The man felt a little embarrassed, and Mr. was so embarrassed to continue talking about the bull than bragging.
"Well, let me show you, after all, there are some people among you who love martial arts, and there is nothing wrong with that.
Anyway, the more you love martial arts, the more you have to settle down and read more. ”
After that, Chen Daosheng, who was only one foot away from being promoted to the grandmaster, pulled the brush on the table, soared into the air, and flew into his hand.
Everyone saw that the gentleman's legs were not bent, and the whole person jumped to the top of the pillar, and did not fall immediately, but slowly descended like floating hair.
Chen Daosheng seemed to be writing wantonly on the pillar with the brush in his hand.
When they landed, everyone saw that there was nothing on the pillar.
"Sir, you forgot to dip in ink. A female student kindly reminded.
However, none of the students said anything, just by virtue of Mr. Yi's ability to easily volley more than a foot in the air and slowly descend, he must be a top master.
Forgetting about such trivial things as dipping ink doesn't affect anything in the slightest.
Chen Daosheng flicked his finger lightly against the pillar, and the entire pillar trembled violently, and a sharp sound sounded, and the sawdust was shaken off one after another.
Everyone saw six big words written on the pillar: Knowledge is power.
The font seems to be carved by woodwork, and the wood is divided into three points, vigorous and powerful.
This sentence was used by the old man to teach the disciples, and the old man has always kept it in mind, which can be called a six-character mantra, and you also need to keep it in mind. Chen Daosheng sighed leisurely.
"Students should keep this in mind. All the students responded one after another, and they were completely impressed by Mr. 's hand.
Thinking of the Pure True Heart Method obtained when entering the school, everyone couldn't help but feel a burst of fire in their hearts.
Only Lin Chaoying looked at the words on the pillar, and then looked at the leisurely tour in his hand, not knowing what he was thinking.
Don't look at everyone's enthusiastic appearance now, imagine that you will comprehend peerless martial arts from the book in the future, and you will be invincible.
By the afternoon, they knew the road was not easy.
"The ninety-nine multiplication formula is the cornerstone of mathematics and physics, and you must be proficient in it. ”
"Seven to seven, two seventy-four, three seven... Angelica sinensis, this is too difficult. ”
The students wailed.
Only Lin Chaoying did not complain, sweating profusely and reciting with difficulty.
。。。。。。
Since the lifting of the sea ban, the trade of the Great Song Dynasty has developed unprecedentedly, and there is a steady stream of gold and silver mining in the Iwami Silver Mountain, and the financial resources of the Great Song Dynasty have become stronger and stronger.
Through Tibet, a steady stream of war horses were purchased from the Western Regions and other places.
It's just that even the war horses in the Western Regions are not endless, and most of the war horses in Tubo are purchased from the Western Liao.
The Western Liao has only been founded for a short time, and it is still in a state of chaos, and there are not enough war horses.
The Tibetan dealers originally bought a horse from Western Liao for ten taels of silver and sold it to the Great Song Dynasty for thirty taels.
Nowadays, it costs 80 taels for a horse to be bought by a Tibetan dealer, and the price of selling it to the Great Song Dynasty has been forcibly raised to a sky-high price of 240 taels.
No matter how rich the Great Song is, he can't afford it.
Kaifeng Imperial Palace, above the court.
"Now the price of war horses is two hundred and forty-one horses, and I want to destroy the gold.
But if you want to destroy gold, you need enough horses, what do you have to do? Hua Kui, who was sitting on the dragon chair, asked lightly.
"Your Majesty, in fact, now that I am in the Great Song Dynasty, the people are safe, and the people are rich in food and clothing, and it is already a prosperous age.
Jin Guoguo is not long in the country, and there is no indelible hatred with my Great Song Dynasty, and there is no need to work for the people and lose money.
According to the old minister's view, it is better to send an envoy to the Jin country, so that the Jin country can make an alliance with my Great Song Dynasty and be together forever. Zuo Prime Minister Liu Yao came out of the ranks.
As everyone knows, Hou Baoliang and Yang Jian are secretly laughing.
"Lord Liu, can't you understand my words?
I said that I want to destroy gold, let you come up with a good plan, are you a good plan to destroy gold?" Hua Kui said coldly.
The ministers all heard the anger between His Majesty's words.
Liu Yao secretly scolded himself for being stupid, and said in a trembling voice: "The old minister lost his words, Your Majesty forgives you." ”
Hua Kui didn't pay attention to him, and continued to wait to see if these courtiers could come up with a good solution.
I saw Hou Baoliang come out and say: "Your Majesty, if you want to destroy gold, war horses are indispensable."
According to what Weichen saw, destroy the gold first and destroy the summer.
There are three benefits to destroying summer.
First, Jin Xia is an alliance, Jin is strong and Xia is weak, if we destroy Western Xia, we will cut off the arm of Jin Guo.
Second, the Western Xia blocked the road to the Western Regions of the Great Song Dynasty, and after destroying the Western Xia, the Silk Road could be reopened, and the matter of war horses was easily solved.
Third, the Great Song Dynasty attacked Western Xia from Yumen Pass, and even if the Jin State wanted to aid Western Xia, it could only lead its army into Western Xia from the Jinxia border. But there are many mountains and rivers in Western Xia, and the Jin State can't give full play to the advantage of cavalry at all, so it can only be slaughtered by me. ”
"Okay, this move is very good, if it is a big victory, Hou Cheng will remember a lot of credit. Hua Kui immediately made a decision and affirmed Hou Baoliang's strategy.
Lang Sheng preached: "The proposed decree is to make Yang Tianyou the general of Zhenxi, command the whole army and horses in the northwest, and choose a day to conquer Western Xia." ”
After retreating from the court, the holy decree departed from Kaifeng and was urgently transmitted to the northwest border.
All parts of the Great Song Dynasty were mobilized, and grain, grass, and equipment were continuously transported to Yumen Pass and Xiao Pass.
Taoism, as the state religion of the Great Song Dynasty, also saw this opportunity, after all, the expansion of the territory of the Great Song Dynasty also means that Taoism can spread Taoism in the name of righteousness.
Taoist disciples such as Longhu Mountain and Qingcheng faction all went down the mountain and went to the northwest to protect the border generals from assassination.
