Chapter 63: The Town of Servants
After selecting the entourage, Ling Hao also integrated the current diners around him by the way, and saw if he could bring them into the Luoyi Academy Palace for testing when the time came.
Anyway, my identity is here, and I am not afraid that Luoyi School Palace will not accept my group of people when the time comes.
"How is it?, are you ready?" Ling Hao asked casually.
"Childe, all of them have been settled. Yan Nantian hugged his fists.
"Very well, tomorrow, we will leave for Luoyi. Ling Hao nodded and walked into the study with his hands behind his back.
In the study, there was a map showing the respective regions of the Seven Kingdoms and the location of Luoyi.
"Hmm...... Can you only approach Luoyi after passing through Yishui?" Ling Hao glanced at the direction on the map.
Yishui is actually called the Yi River in later generations, is one of the tributaries of the Luo River, a tributary of the south bank of the Yellow River in China, originating from Taowan Town, Luanchuan County, at the southern foot of the Bears Ears Mountain, flowing through Song County, Yichuan, winding in the southern foot of the Bears Ears Mountain, the northern foot of the Funiu Mountain, passing through the Yique and entering Luoyang, northeast to Yanshi into the Luo River, and the Luoshui merging into the Yiluo River. The total length is 264.88 kilometers, and the basin area is more than 6,100 square kilometers. The Yihe River and the Luo River supported one wing of the Heluo culture, and the "Yiluo civilization" was praised by some Western historians as the "two-river civilization of the East". The Longmen Grottoes, a world cultural heritage site that became famous in later generations, are located on both sides of the Yi River.
Yishui, called Luanshui in ancient books, originates from the Dullun Ridge in Sanhe Village, Taowan Town. "The Classic of Mountains and Seas" contains: "The mountains and rivers of the vines and canals come out of the water". "Huainanzi" contains: "Yishui goes out of Wei Mountain". Manqu Mountain or Shangwei Mountain are the ancient names of the Stuffy Mountains. "Geographical Chronicles" said: "Out of Bears Ears Mountain". In later generations, after many investigations and explorations by generations of geologists, the mountain structure and geological characteristics of the Stuffton Ridge belong to the Funiu mountain system, so the so-called "out of the Bears Ears Mountain" is wrong. The Yi River flows west-east along the northern foot of Funiu Mountain and the southern foot of Bear's Ear Mountain. From the source to Tangying Village, Tantou Township, exit into Song County, through Yichuan, Longmen, Yanshi, in Guxian Town Yang Village into the Luo River (Luo was called Yiluo River, and then into the Yellow River).
Yishui flows from west to east, and the north bank flows through Houshiba, Huangzhuang, Wangzhuang, Xianggongzhuang, Xitian Village, Dongtian Village, Ningzhuang, Qianwang, Wangqi, Zhenzhuang, Tongzhuang, Zhaozhuang Street, Dongzhuang, Yuetan, and the south bank flows through Xima Village, Xijian, Kangzhuang, Baita, Heilongmiao, Yangwan, Xinmin, Yuancun, Dongshiba, Caodian, Mendian, Xipengdian, Gaoya, Zhaozhai, Banzhai, Wangchagou, Duanwan, Miaowan, Renzhuang, Guxian, Annan, Zaozhuang, Yangcun. Yanshi section of Xima Village to the village of Yang and Luo River estuary is 37 kilometers long, accounting for 10.7% of the total length of the Yi River of 347 kilometers, the basin area of 565 square kilometers, accounting for 59.9% of the total area of the county, the widest part of the riverbed (Dongshiba) is 3.2 kilometers, the narrowest place (Antan) is 0.38 kilometers, and the longitudinal slope out of the dragon gate has changed from a few hundredths to about 13,000. The riverbed is composed of pebbles and sediment, and has good water permeability. Due to the small drop, the sediment deposition is the largest, and there are many sandbars in the river, which cannot be navigated.
The upper and lower forms of the Yishui River are different, from the source to the bottom of the temple, there are many bends and large drops. From the bottom of the temple to the temple, from west to east, form a 40-kilometer-long wide valley area, to the mouth of the two rivers in Miaozi, there is a right-angle turn, change to flow from south to north, to the ancient city of Tantou, form a 50-kilometer-long canyon area, the slopes on both sides of the bank are steep, the river trough is narrow, move back to twists and turns, the water potential is turbulent, and there are multiple levels of water falling. After passing through the ancient city, it turns at a right angle to flow from west to east, and the water potential is gentle, forming the Tantou wide valley basin.
Of course, this is the result of the research of later generations, in this high-martial world, Yishui is an important passage through both sides of Luoyi City.
It can be said that as long as the Yishui River is monopolized, the connection between the two banks of Naluoyi will be severed......
Ling Hao suddenly had an idea in his heart...... If he can find a way to divert Yishui in the future, will he be able to cut off the connection between the two sides of Luoyi?
Well, this should also be included in your own plan...... There will definitely be a day when it will need to be used.
Thinking of this, Ling Hao couldn't help but show a hint of a smile, the time and place are favorable, and he must master it......
At the same time, in the Luoyi School Palace, everyone looked at the thick mist formed by the Jiuli capital, and many people's expressions became extremely shocked, and their mouths were almost open enough to stuff a duck egg.
"Sure enough, it's very valued by Luoyi, rhubarb, you see, I'm not wrong, right?" Shang Li looked at Ji Qing with a grin.
"Look at the bachelor's expression, he is even more surprised than when he saw the young lady's Luan Feng assets before. ”
"It seems that we can enter together this time, rhubarb, it depends on whether your martial arts can catch up with me in the future. Wei Baiqi patted Ji Qing on the shoulder.
"Don't worry, Brother Wei, I won't embarrass the Shang Mansion. Ji Qing agreed.
"Three, Mingyuan's test is over. The previous bachelor finally completed his task this time, and at this moment, he walked up to Shang Li and his party to comment:
"Meng Shangji, as a noble daughter of a family, has both the assets of Luan Feng, and has the law of burning her body like ashes, and she can choose any doctor to practice after entering the school. ”
"Wei Baiqi is the best haw and leopard asset, and he can be regarded as a talent, and he is allowed to enter the school. ”
"As for Ji Qing...... are not allowed to enroll. ”
"Huh?" the three of them were stunned for a moment.
"Wait, didn't you still marvel at the appearance of Jiuli's capital just now, why are you ...... now" Shang Li was puzzled for a while.
"Well, it's normal for you newcomers not to know any of this. ”
"I'm amazed because of ...... Five hundred years ago, the Jiuli capital, which had exhausted the power of the Zhou royal family and almost exhausted the resources of the school palace, appeared again. "Pen in Chinese
"This ...... How difficult it is for me to practice my Jiuli skills!" Ji Qing was stupid when he heard this, but he didn't expect that he was not the first person with this kind of qualification?
"As early as hundreds of years ago, Ji Yuanxuan, the eighth son of King Zhou Yi, was also the same as Ji Qing, and was the capital of Jiuli. ”
"King Yi loves this young son, and makes the school palace do its best to cultivate him and help him break through, for this reason, the treasury of the royal family and even the entire school palace is burned, and it is just for him to practice to the ground lock nine times, and there is no hope of breaking through the heavenly seal to death. ”
"It also caused a series of big disputes because of favoritism. ”
"Since then, a rule has been set up in the school palace, and when you meet Jiuli's capital again, you must meet a condition......"
"What conditions ......?" Hearing this, Ji Qing already felt that his future was very slim.
"Bachelor can be blunt. ”
"At the beginning, it took Ji Yuanxuan a full year to break through to the second level of the ground lock, if you want to enter the school, Ji Qing, you must prove that your talent is stronger than Ji Yuanxuan, if you can also rely on yourself, it will only take a year to break through to the second level of the ground lock......"
"I can make an exception for you to enroll, and even grant you a request!"
"A year, during this period, the Academy Palace will not provide any support, it is too difficult for a strong man. Shang Li's face gradually became a little unnatural when he heard this.
"It's not easy for Rhubarb to practice martial arts, how can such a goal be accomplished within a year?" Wei Baiqi also argued with reason.
"I'm sorry, this is the rule of the Academy, only in this way can he prove that his Jiuli talent and talent are higher than Ji Yuanxuan, and even more outstanding than Ji Yuanxuan!"
"Privilege will always be the power that belongs only to the pride of the sky!"
"A year?" Ji Qing was stunned.
Ji Qing really didn't expect this kind of thing to happen, if nothing else, he could only go down the mountain.
"But now that I'm down the mountain, how should I live......"
"Hey, Rhubarb, I'll be waiting for you on the mountain!" Shang Li shouted to him.
"Don't worry, I'll find a way to get you into school within a year!"
"Miss, don't worry, I will also do my best to break through to the ground lock within a year, and enter the school palace to tell you a story!"
"Well, that's our agreement!"
"Definitely, definitely!"
In fact, at the beginning of the construction of the Luoyi School Palace, there was no intention of setting up a market town at the foot of the mountain, so the children of the nobles who entered the school palace in the early days had to bring enough daily necessities, because there was no market town around the Luoyi School Palace that could be used to trade goods.
However, as time went on, more and more people were turned away because of their poor qualifications, or the children of the nobles brought a large number of diners when they entered the school, and these people consciously stayed at the foot of the mountain.
The palace will also uphold the heart of preaching and teaching, and occasionally send scholars down the mountain, regardless of country, to give lectures to the public in the square.
Over time, these people gathered together and slowly formed a special group, and these people can also be counted as students outside the school palace, and they are called "service students".
Because of this inconvenience, it also attracted a group of shrewd businessmen to come here to sell goods and trade goods, and soon a market town was slowly formed here, called "Gongxue Town".
However, people from all over the world are mixed in this market town, and because of the extremely high prices, an orderly order has never been established, and it is not uncommon for people from all over the world to fight in the streets in the town, which is of course also the result of the fact that the town has not been able to establish effective order and normal management.
Fortunately, Ling Hao had given Ji Qing a lot of money before, but under the high price index in Shixue Town, he always felt that the money would be insufficient one day......
