Studying indoors all year round, many scholars are not diligent and do not distinguish between grains.

The process of transporting grain and materials this time is not life-threatening, but it is just an opportunity to increase a long-distance trip, and you can also take the opportunity to travel thousands of miles.

Only by fully contacting the customs and customs of various places and understanding the people's livelihood will we have better measures for government and observe the people's feelings when we enter the official career in the future.

A poem by the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty: There is Yan Ruyu in the book, and there is a golden house in the book. Let countless scholars, indulge in calligraphy and painting, and think that reading can solve everything, which is not conducive to the prosperity of literature and Taoism.

In the Spring and Autumn Period of the pre-Qin Dynasty, there were hundreds of schools of thought, which one did not travel around the world.

Yang Lin's call was quickly spread throughout the Great Song Dynasty by the Di newspaper, and all the scholars in the academy were eager to try.

This trip not only has the feelings of family and country for the country, but also has no worries about food and clothing, and the court takes care of the food.

The most important thing is that the Ministry of Officials and Taixue jointly ordered that the future college entrance system will focus on this performance when examining students.

Once it involves the official career, it is not a trivial matter in the people, even the pampered children of rich families have to give up the handsome scholars, the pretty maids, and prepare to report to the provinces.

The yamen of the various ministries in Bianliang were very busy, and this was an overwhelming wave that swept the entire Great Song Dynasty, which brought great trouble and was a huge test for the new policy.

"It has been half a year since we divided the world into 13 provinces, and the power in the hands of the governors and governors of each province has been greatly improved compared with that of the local officials in the past. Now is the time to test them, and whether the students can make overall plans and make proper arrangements is the manifestation of the ability of officials. "Bai Shizhong twisted his beard.

Yang Lin nodded frequently and added: "You can select honest officials from Bianliang, inspect everywhere, and record wind reviews. ”

Bai Shizhong's eyes lit up and asked, "Choose from the ministry?" ”

"No high-ranking officials, no guard of honor, no fixed rank, open and secret visits." Yang Lin suddenly thought of the Duwei Mansion, this spy agency, which had been idle in West Lake for a while, and it was time to take it out and use it.

A knife is a knife, and if you don't use it for a long time, it will inevitably rust.

"Let that Yin Muhong do it." Yang Lin and Bai Shizhong glanced at each other and said with a smile: "I will write to him personally." ”

"Do you want to... Report to Your Majesty and do this again. Wang Chaoli next to him smiled cautiously and stepped forward to interject.

Yang Lin stroked his forehead, inhaled and said, "It wasn't for Shi'an's timely reminder, I really forgot about it..."

As he spoke, he patted Wang Chaoli on the shoulder a few times, patted his shoulder and slipped down a little.

Out of the Ming Hall, Yang Lin returned to the outer courtyard of Zhaodefang and called a few disciples.

In the garden of the outer courtyard of Zhaodefang, there is a winding corridor in front, and there are rockery ponds on the left and right, but it has not rained for several days, and the weather is too sultry, although it is not cool by the pool. Yang Lin took off his official uniform, only wore a light shirt and trousers, and shook his fan while giving a lecture to the disciples who were standing respectfully below.

At this time, the relationship between the disciple and the teacher is very close, often even more than ordinary relatives.

Yang Lin pointed to the fake stones everywhere and said, "Find a few shady places and sit down." ”

Ma Kuo asked with a grin, "Master, do you want us to go to Yunnei as well?" ”

Yang Lin glanced at him and said with a smile: "Zichong is right, since you are my disciples, you should set an example." ”

After speaking, he pointed at Yuwen Xuzhong and Cai Qian with a fan, and said, "Shutong and Yu Zhi will stay and help me write official documents and deal with some government affairs." ”

These two are good politicians, Cai Qian wrote good articles, full of splendor, Yuwen is smart and capable, they are his two big secrets, and they are people who can't do without it temporarily.

"I won't keep you for the next few days, go to a banquet with friends, don't just rush to transport grain on the road, my original intention is not to use you scholars as donkeys. It is better to travel thousands of miles than to read thousands of books, and when you come back, everyone writes an article and submits it. ”

Several disciples hurriedly got up and said goodbye, and Yang Lin also stood up and took out a secret letter in his sleeve.

Wu Lan, a sailor in the South China Sea, talked about something in the letter, which made Yang Lin very concerned. Yizhou is the Taiwan of later generations, and their sailors are preparing to go to Yizhou, as one of the strongholds to annihilate the Cham pirates, Yang Lin of course supports it.

However, what is the situation in Yizhou now, I don't know it, if there is a strong enemy and it causes a big war, the focus now is to support Yunnei with the whole country.

Even Yang Lin didn't want to be sideways at this time. After all, in Jiaozhi, the imperial court still maintains a war of more than 100,000 horses.

Although a country is strong, it will die if it is belligerent, unless there is enough capital, and greater benefits can be obtained through war.

The two major wars that are being fought now are both for the sake of border appeasement, and even if they are won, they cannot be converted into economic gains in the short term.

Even if the Great Song Dynasty is rich, it can't be reckless, it still has to be carefully calculated.

I think it's better to send someone to take a look and explore the truth and the truth...

---

The red sun broke through the clouds, and in the camp of the Jurchen army set up all over the mountains and fields in the east of Datong, countless tired and haggard military horses also poured out, cheering loudly towards the sun overhead!

This long-lasting bird rain has really tossed the tough Jurchen sons and daughters enough, and now they are finally waiting for the rain to pass!

Wanyan Lou Room, who led the advance to the city, had already led his troops out of the city and redeployed along the Sanggan River.

Between Yunzhou and Hongzhou, it was the supply line of the Jurchen army, connecting to Huining Mansion in Shangjing, and countless soldiers, horses, and money and grain supported Yunnei from here.

Wan Yan Lou looked at the road below, and a team of people and horses came over, this team of people and horses, all of them were Kefa Suo heads, wearing dirty leather robes, short and strong, rough and strong. The whole body was already full of fishy smell, and wallowing in the quagmire these days was even more filthy and embarrassing.

They are the Jin State Auxiliary Army of the Thirty Tatars of Mo Nan, Yelu Dashi and the Jurchen negotiated peace, and the bargaining chip was to cede all of Mo Nan.

If it weren't for the appearance of Yang Lin, in the past hundred years, these tribes in the south and north of the desert would have gradually become a powerful steppe empire. After the decay and depravity of the Jin Kingdom, these tribes will rise violently again, bringing the tide of destruction to the entire civilized world, killing the Eurasian continent, thousands of miles away.

And the orthodox Han civilization in the Central Plains also really died in the world for the first time, completely occupied by the Hu people, and established the so-called Yuan Dynasty.

Now these tribes have not yet become a climate, although they can bear hardships and stand hard work, they are fierce. But their equipment is extremely poor, and it is simply incomparable with the Jurchens who have completely inherited the Liao family's business.

In Monan, an iron pot is enough to become an heirloom treasure, which shows how much smelting is lacking there.

The best equipment of these Mongolian tribal armies is nothing more than a stinking leather armor with horns, arches and arrows. As a light cavalry and a ranger, he is barely qualified, and he really has to fight in battle, and he is an era away from Song Jin.

The reason is very simple, no matter how strong your Mongolian tribe is, it is only a person who is not afraid of life and death, and the arrows made of bones shoot out, and the armor on the opposite side cannot be broken, at most it hurts. And the opponent's blades and arrows are flying, and a big hole is suddenly opened in your body. As long as the opponent's military horses have a basic level, this battle can't be fought.

Therefore, the Mongols in Monan were quickly conquered by the Jurchens, and they recruited people from various tribes to come to fight.

Moreover, Mo Nan is now full of tribes, divided and scattered, a bit like Tubo in previous years, but it is much poorer than Tubo. They can't talk about organization at all, so at this moment, these steppe tribes, in the land of East Asia, are still just an inconspicuous role, and whoever is strong in the outside of the fortress will be attached to whom.

Hoping to follow the master, share a piece of carrion, and keep the tribe alive.

These steppe tribal armies are now obedient to the orders of the Jurchen soldiers, trembling. was called by the Jurchen army to be replaced, like a slave. All the way south, not only did he have to bear the heavy responsibility of sentry scouts, but also often went out to fight grass valleys for the Jurchen military horses. After searching the mountains and valleys, fighting a lot of lives, I worked hard to get a little grain and livestock. I had to give the Jurchen military horses most of it.

Wan Yan Lou looked at them, a trace of disdain flashed in his eyes, in his eyes, this was a group of walking corpses who did not know how to make progress, and they were not worth looking at at at all.

In fact, they now treat the Mongols the same way the Liao people treated the "Jurchen savages" in the first place.

In the history of later generations, Wan Yanliang, who was so happy, moved the capital of the Jin Kingdom all the way to Yanjing, and the degree of sinicization of the Jin Kingdom deepened rapidly.

In the same way, their domination over the Cypriots began to weaken. After the death of Wan Yan Liang, the Khitans involved an unprecedented scale of military rebellion outside the Sai. At that time, Jin Shizong Wanyanxi borrowed a large number of troops from the grassland tribes to participate in the pacification of the Khitans.

After the defeat of Xiao Saba's Khitan uprising, the Mongols, after the great war and being armed, gradually moved towards integration, just like the unification of the Jurchens by the Wanyan tribe.

After a few more years, a group of strongmen who defy the sky have appeared in these inconspicuous miscellaneous beards, who are not weaker than today's Aguta, Lou Room, Zong Han, Zong Wang...

There were about six or seven hundred knights in the eyes of Wanyan Lou's room, and they were a mixture of several tribes in Monan. In the past few days, they braved the heavy rain and went out in the mud for three or four days to gather grass and valleys, and then they had to return.

How many fish have slipped through the net in the clouds, for them to plunder and slaughter, and the captured grain and grass are very pitiful, at most two or three hundred stones of various grains, including grass seeds. Behind the slowly returning team were more than a dozen scrawny sheep and horses, which was the biggest gain.

While these knights were lazily riding back, some were still tearing and fighting for two women's clothes that were not very good in material and workmanship, and finally they simply rolled into the mire and fed each other with old fists, and no one cared.

Wanyan Lou didn't look at them at all, stared at the road in the distance, pointed to the east with a horsewhip, and said: "We have eaten the pursuit of the Song people in Ulzhou, these people are not cowards, and the reinforcements of the Song people will definitely be the first to come from here." ”

Around him, there were some Jurchen armorers in armor, sharp blades, and evil spirits.

One of them said: "It's just right to come, for a few days, and the beating is extremely aggrieved, just to vent their anger." ”

Wan Yan Lou's face froze, and he raised his head to the sky, looking at the canopy that finally became clear, and the hot sun overhead: "This year has been intermittent, and I have fought with the Song people a few times, and I always suffer some dark losses. If we lose the battle again, we will not think of going south to hunt for the boundless wealth and women. ”

"This time, we have to fight the momentum of sweeping away the Khitan, and only then can we really rise among the Jurchens."
