"Thank you father, the child is waiting for his father's letter in the capital. The child took his leave. ”

Zhang Bin bowed deeply to Zhang Zai, got into the carriage with Zhu Niang, eight veterans guarded on both sides of the carriage, the tiger flicked the horsewhip, and the group went to Hengqu Town.

At the gate of Hengqu Academy, Zhang Zai frowned and pondered: "Yes! Why do people see the top of the sail returning in the distance when the ship is sailing in the water, and then slowly see the hull? Is it a fallacy to say that place? Is the earth really round? ”

Zhang Bin's move is, of course, to divert his father's attention, but Zhang Bin is not very sure how effective it can be, but it is not without purpose. Because in history, Zhang Zai's guanxue is also called qixue.

Zhang Zai believes that the world is composed of two parts, one is the visible and the other is invisible, and both parts are composed of "qi". It's just that "qi" has two ways of existence, one is condensation and the other is dissipation.

Compared with other Confucian schools, which focus on ideology and theory, this academic viewpoint is already very pragmatic and close to all things in nature.

And Guan Xue has always "emphasized empirical evidence and light words", Zhang Bin believes that the question he threw out will have a certain effect, at least Zhang Zai will be interested, and he does not expect to be able to attract Zhang Zai's attention from the well field system at once, at least it can also distract Zhang Zai's attention a lot.

………

………

"Childe, the villain has already inquired, Zhang Zai wants to implement the well field system, but the field is not enough, so he asked Zhang Bin to take the land deed of 500 acres of fertile land at home to Shangzhou Zhen'an County to buy 1,000 acres of land to practice the well field system." In the guest room of Hengqu Academy, Wang Yan, who had just taken the medicinal soup but still had a somewhat pale face, listened to the report of an entourage with a gloomy face.

"I thought Zhang Bin would be my opponent, but I didn't expect to be as stupid as his father and dig his own grave." Wang Yan sneered, remembering that he was humiliated by Zhang Bin in front of everyone yesterday, and he was so angry that he vomited blood, he couldn't wait to break Zhang Bin's body into ten thousand pieces, a cold light and resentment flashed in his eyes, and he gritted his teeth and said: "You take my name card and go to Zhen'an County, Shangzhou, no matter which piece of land Zhang Bin falls into, you will go to the landlord in advance to help Zhang Bin fulfill his wish." ”

Although the entourage didn't understand why his son-in-law wanted to help Zhang Bin, he didn't dare to ask more, took Wang Yan's name sticker, and left in a hurry.

………

………

Zhang Zai has been kind and charitable for many years, and the people in the town have always admired him, Wang Yan came to smash the field of Hengqu Academy, and the people in the town are all the same enemy, and Zhang Bin's words made Wang Yan vomit blood has spread all over the town overnight, and the people in the town are all very happy.

Therefore, Zhang Bin and his entourage passed through Hengqu Town, and when people looked at the carriage again, their expressions were different from yesterday, and the voices of praise were naturally one by one.

In the carriage, Zhang Bin listened to the praise of the people in the town, lying in the arms of Zhu Niang, feeling the softness at the back of his head, smelling the faint fragrance, a pair of slender white hands gently rubbed the temples on both sides of his head, closed his eyes slightly, and couldn't help but secretly say: "The life of this noble lord is really comfortable!" ”

Zhang Bin asked people to prepare another carriage, and the snake slave master and servant were tied hand and foot and placed in another carriage, and the eight veterans took turns to go in and watch, which could be regarded as a benefit for the eight veterans.

At this time, Huang Mazi chased up from behind, came to Zhang Bin's carriage, and reported in a low voice: "Son, one of Wang Yan's entourages left Hengqu Town by small road, and the direction is Shangzhou Zhen'an County!" ”

Zhang Bin still squinted his eyes and said: "Wang Yan is a young and handsome man recognized by His Majesty the Emperor and everyone in the world, you can't be underestimated, you haven't shown any flaws and are suspected by the other party!" ”

Huang Mazi hurriedly said: "Don't worry, the villain has not shown up, and Wang Yan's entourage knew about it through the mouth of a third unrelated person." ”

………

………

Zhang Bin and his entourage walked out of Hengqu Town and drove all the way to the direction of Zhaofu in East Nanjing.

Jingzhao Mansion is Chang'an City, the ancient capital of thousands of years, and the center of gravity and center of the Northwest Roads, and of course the richest place in the Northwest.

Eight hundred miles of Qinchuan Plain, boundless, Zhang Bin and his entourage passed, the fertile fields and villages on both sides of the official road could not be seen, and the convoy of merchants was also endless.

In the evening, a gentle drizzle fell from the sky, and the city wall of Jingzhao Mansion finally appeared in the field of vision of Zhang Bin and his party, and the city wall did not look very old.

Zhang Bin knew that today's Chang'an City was actually rebuilt in the early Song Dynasty.

The scale of Chang'an City in the Sui and Tang dynasties was even larger than that of Tokyo City in the Great Song Dynasty today, and it was the largest in the world in terms of city size, population and commerce at that time.

However, after the devastation of the five dynasties and ten kingdoms at the end of the Tang Dynasty, after the smoke of war, it was three in and three out by the Tubo army, and finally turned into rubble by a fire by Zhu Wen.

And now the Jingzhao Mansion of the Great Song Dynasty is actually rebuilt on the rubble.

However, although there is no prosperity and scale in the Sui and Tang dynasties, it is still the center of Guanzhong and even the entire northwest, when Zhang Bin and his party are still five miles away from the city, the official road has become a street, the roadside is full of shops and vendor stalls, and the houses behind the shops are even more lined up.

As the flow of people entered through the West Gate, the noisy sounds and scenes came to the face.

Pedestrians rub shoulders on the streets, children chase and fight, and vendors shout one after another.

"What a flower." Although Zhang Bin had been to Jingzhao Mansion before, and even been to Bianjing City, his memory was different from his personal experience.

In the past few years, with the increase in land annexation of large and small nobles and officials, the taxes of ordinary people have become more and more inexplicably heavier, but compared to the collapse of the order in the troubled times of the five dynasties, it can be called a paradise-like life.

But only Zhang Bin knows that if it is according to the original historical trajectory, in more than 40 years, the people of the Great Song Dynasty will experience darker and more difficult days than the five dynasties of troubled times, and unlike the Qin, Han, Sui, and Tang dynasties, which were destroyed in civil strife, the catastrophe of the Great Song Dynasty came from the nomadic alien races in the north.

Compared with the Western Xia Kingdom and the Liao Kingdom, the Jurchen people who rose between the white mountains and black waters in the northeast were more barbaric and brutal, and after the Jurchens, the cruelty and murder of the Mongols made the Chinese people live a life that was inferior to pigs and dogs for a long time.

Thinking of the dark history of Jin and Yuanmeng's rule over China in history, Zhang Bin couldn't help but tremble, and secretly thought: "If the weak Song Dynasty is no longer weak, naturally there will be no such history, but any dynasty has a time when it becomes weaker, perhaps only by turning the Jurchen and Mongolian people, and even other alien races that can threaten China into a part of China, can we truly avoid that dark history." ”
