Chapter 037: Leisure (6)

After Lu Xiufu, the prime minister of the Southern Song Dynasty, threw the nine-year-old young emperor Zhao Yu into the sea, "hundreds of thousands of people died in the sea" in the coastal areas, and the Mongolian prime minister recorded that "more than 100,000 people floated on the sea in seven days".

And across the country, countless people have committed suicide for their beloved motherland in grief and despair after receiving the news of the official demise of the "country".

Lu You's descendants, Wang Jian's daughter, and many of the descendants of celebrities chose to die with the country; As for how many people in the country have committed suicide, the number of people cannot be specifically counted.

"Many families committed suicide, the city has no empty wells, and those who are in the forest are tired." This is a record in the history books, and you can see the whole leopard at a glance.

Corresponding to the martyrdom of the people who "committed suicide with their families", there were countless heroes in the Song Dynasty who took up arms to fight against the Jin soldiers and the Yuan army.

In the early years of the Southern Song Dynasty, tens of thousands of anti-gold warriors sacrificed their lives for the country! At the end of the Southern Song Dynasty, there were more than 500 well-known heroes of the Anti-Yuan Death Festival; There are countless unknown heroes, such as the guards of Lingxiao City in Sichuan, and the historical data has not found a specific name.

This is the Song Dynasty, a great era; The imperial court treats its own people well; The people are also willing to give their lives for the country without saying the same thing as a foreign race.

Liu Min's impression of the Song Dynasty in later generations was only limited to books, and now she stands in front of the door of the private school and listens to the sound of reading inside; A heartfelt excitement came over me.

Isn't the sound of reading in the Guandi Temple School in the wilderness beach the scene of Liu Min's hometown school when he was a child? But now most of the hometown schools are abandoned, and school-age children are accompanied by adults to study in schools in county seats, prefectures, and provincial towns, and the countryside is being abandoned little by little.

Liu Min was in a reverie in the north and south of the world, and Kuang Shicai spoke: "Sister, this is the private school in the wilderness beach; There are three more private schools in Oak Grove! ”

Liu Min was stunned, raised his eyebrows and said, "There are still three private schools in Oak Forest?" Then add this one to 4! ”

"That's right! Oak Grove is home to four private schools! Kuang Shicai said bluntly: "Oak Forest is a big village, plus a few Jiaozhuang people with a population of tens of thousands, it is the will of the imperial court to set up four private schools, not too much!" ”

Liu Min bowed her head and was silent, but her heart was like boiling water: no wonder the land area of the Northern Song Dynasty of 2.5 million square kilometers was only one-sixth of the 15 million square kilometers of the Tang Dynasty and one-tenth of the 2,560 square kilometers of the Han Dynasty; The territory of the Southern Song Dynasty established by Zhao was even smaller, with only 1.8 million square kilometers.

The Northern Song Dynasty and the Southern Song Dynasty created economic brilliance and scientific and technological achievements in a small land area, and the fundamental reason is that education starts from the child; The sound of reading in the Guandi Temple in the Wilderness Beach of Huayang County, Shudi is an example.

But this is not the case, Liu Min's original body cannot enter the private school to read and hyphenate; At a young age, she had to cook for the whole family, and she had to cut wood from the mountains to support the family.

I'm afraid this is the phenomenon that people's hearts are different and flowers are different red!

However, Liu Min, a doctor of medicine who paid attention to education for all soon after the founding of the Northern Song Dynasty, saw it in his eyes.

After the Northern Song Dynasty, the land of China experienced the Yuan, Ming, Qing, and Republic of China, but education did not retreat; During the period of the Beiyang warlords, the national illiteracy rate reached 90%; Time has developed, but some measures to benefit the country and the people have seriously regressed; It is no wonder that when the Eight-Nation Coalition captured the city of Beijing, an uneducated nation would naturally be beaten to the point that its head was blue and swollen.

Liu Min thought in his heart, looked at Kuang Shicai and said, "Outside the absenteeism, you can take us to the other three private schools to have a look!" ”

"It's easy!" Kuang Shicai pointed his hand forward and said, "Sister, please!" ”

Absenteeism no longer regards Liu Min as a child, but as an inspector sent by the imperial court.

It's no wonder who let Liu Min explain to Kuang Shicai so old-fashioned, "There is a surplus of fragrance in the court, Xie Cao, Zheng Lan, Yan Laurel Tree." There is no other situation at home, Tang poetry and Jin character Han articles. "What about that couplet!

There is more fragrance in the court, Xie Cao Zheng Lan Yan Laurel Tree. There is no other situation at home, even if the couplet of Tang poetry and Jin characters and Han articles is interpreted, Tao Gu and Dou Yi, who are rich and rich in the court, have to frown, but Liu Min is like flowing water in one go; This kind of talent can only be possessed by the Wenqu stars in the sky, and only the world can be respected in the heart.

After Kuang Shicai finished speaking, he beckoned to Li Erzhuo and said, "Erleng, don't go, beckon everyone to eat; After eating, continue to water the ground! ”

Kuang Shicai took Liu Min and the four of them to the oak forest, and Lu Chengyu was already waiting at the door of the "Renyi Private School".

Liu Min stared at Lu Chengyu in surprise, Lu Chengyu greeted him with a smile and said as he walked: "The house slave Lu Wang said that the younger sister went to the Hangzhuang Wilderness Beach, and the lower official guessed that the absenteeism would lead the younger sister to the Renyi Private School; I stood in this place and waited, and I really waited for it! ”

Liu Min smiled and said, "Lord Lu's unpredictable prophet?" The little girl, her grandfather, and uncle walked around the rice field, and saw the red bronze bodies of two men in the car who were not afraid of the scorching sun. So I went to the wilderness beach outside the absenteeism and saw the private school in the Guandi Temple, and the absentee said that there were several private schools in the oak forest, so I rushed over to feast my eyes! ”

Liu Min's words did not match her age very much, but yesterday she pulled Huo Renfu and Huo Buffalo, who were announced by Mr. Yunmeng, back from the Ghost Gate Pass in the Lu Mansion, and Lu Chengyu regarded her as a prodigy; Therefore, even if Liu Min's actions and words do not match his age, Lu Chengyu will not speculate and doubt.

Liu Min, under the leadership of Lu Chengyu, walked around all three private schools in the oak forest, and his feelings were indescribable.

Lu Chengyu said: "The reason why Oak Forest can't build four private schools is the practice of the imperial court's strategy of governing the country with culture!" ”

Lu Chengyu said this, chattering endlessly about the importance that Song Taizu attached to education and culture and the literati after he established the Northern Song Dynasty.

In the fourth year of Song Taizu Qiande (966 AD), the Song Dynasty fell to Shu; The Houshu palace maid was sent to the imperial palace in Bianliang.

One day, Song Taizu looked at the mirror box of the palace maid and found that the back of an old bronze mirror was engraved with the words "cast in the fourth year of Qiande".

Song Taizu was amazed and took the mirror to Prime Minister Zhao Pu; asked Zhao Pu: "How come there is a bronze mirror cast in the fourth year of Qiande now!" ”

Zhao Pu and the others couldn't answer, so Zhao Kuangyin immediately summoned the bachelors Tao Gu and Dou Yi to ask.

Tao Gu is the guy who wrote twelve words on the wall of the official residence when he was an envoy to the Southern Tang Dynasty, and some people scolded him as a shameless literati; But Tao Gu's talent is impossible to deny.

The twelve characters written by Tao Gu on the wall of the official residence of the Southern Tang Dynasty are: Xichuan dog, people's eyes, horse buns, and imperial kitchen rice.

No one can interpret the twelve characters, and Song Qiqiu, the prime minister of the Southern Tang Dynasty, pondered for several days and finally had a mystery, and said: "Xichuan dog is a single word, and the eyes of the people are a sleeping word; Ma Bao'er, that is, paw, is a lone word; Imperial kitchen rice, that is, official food, is a museum word. These twelve words are 'sleeping alone'. ”

After Song Qiqiu finished interpreting the inscription on the wall of Tao Gu, he said: "Tao Gu is not a gentleman, I have a way to make him reveal his original form." ”

So he asked the courtesan Qin Wanlan to pretend to be the daughter of the post man, the old clothes and bamboo hairpin, and sprinkled and swept the courtyard in the pavilion every morning and evening, which really lured Tao Gu.

Tao Gu presented the beautiful words "Good Spring", word cloud:

Good karma, bad karma, but what day, I have to sleep all night at the post office? Don't be a god.

The pipa is full of lovesickness, and there are few bosom friends. What year is it when the glue is broken?
