It was still early, so people were prepared a little, and Dia Bird took the ice leopard and more than a dozen guards to the road and galloped. On the evening of the fourth day, they arrived in Huangxi. After a night's rest, another afternoon, we arrived at the ferry, and the boats at the ferry had a livelihood by ferrying back and forth, as well as official boats of several zhang size.

The official boat is on time, and it also costs money, but the trip is long, and the retrograde journey to Huangzhong, where the current is still slow, and the school of Da Da Erhu is located in Huangzhong.

After driving hundreds of miles, it was natural for them to take a spacious official ship that could take horses, and they could also rest.

The ice leopard went to the official ship to register, threw a string of money, asked for a manger to tie the horse like an ordinary person, opened a cabin, and rested while waiting for the passengers to be full. It was slowly getting dark, and there were a lot of merchants coming and going, and it was gradually full, and there were still people loading and unloading goods before the ship left. Diao came out after resting for a while, and came out to see a crowd of merchants, the goods piled up, a boom erected on the shore, still hoisting the goods, the hull of the ship slowly draught, and the heart was extremely proud, and he couldn't help but find the ship order to talk. He knew that it was not easy to build a ship, and such a large ship must have invested a lot, so he asked how the ship made the ship profitable, what the merchants were selling, how to check the customs defense, and whether there were more merchants in Dongxia or more merchants in Gaoxian.

The ship order analyzed a lot of things from his pomp, but saw them carrying weapons and documents into Gao Xian, suspecting that he was an important figure in Gao Xianguo, swallowing and spitting, although he was secretive, he still revealed a lot of news, he said that most of the merchants who took the official ship were merchants of the Eastern Xia Kingdom, because of the official ship insurance, and the merchants who went to the Eastern Xia did not use the official ship to load, and transported things such as forests and trees on a raft to the most provincial, but when the ship returned, it was often full, and the merchants of Gao Xian and some nobles who went to the Eastern Xia Kingdom only took the official boat.

When the hour came, the boat was about to leave, and the ladder was put away, and seven or eight more men arrived.

Knowing that the ship was full and leaving, one of them stood below and shouted: "We are sent by the imperial court, and we are in a hurry, and we have documents here to prove it, and I hope that our colleagues on the ship will be accommodating." ”

The ship's order had to let the crew lower the ladder, and when they climbed up, they asked for paperwork and guides, but at this glance, they seemed a little regretful, and said, "What dispatcher? Is this also called a deporter? Mr. who went to Huangzhong Tonghao School to teach, this is also called a dispatcher? ”

One of the leaders sternly retorted: "Why don't you call a deporter?" Lord Chuanling, we are all students who graduated from Whampoa in the Northern Plains, and we were sent by the government...... What is it called if you don't call a dispatcher? ”

The boat commander sneered while letting people collect the ladder: "Aren't you here to earn work points so that you can participate in politics?" Why don't you want to earn work and go to a good school? ”

Diao also felt that the boat order was unreasonable, and walked over with the ice leopard.

The next words of the boat order made him suddenly: "Tonghao School was built by us Dongxia with their assistance, and it has been several years, and they have sent Mr. to them, sent books, and taught their children, so you have traveled thousands of miles to contribute to other countries in order to earn work?" ”

Dia Bird interjected and said: "Lord Chuan Ling has said it, why can't you teach Gao Xian's children, Dongxia and Gao Xian have the same origin, and Tonghao School is a Dongxia court aided ......."

The ship order was silent, and he must have been deceived by his illusion, thinking that he was a high-ranking person and a slanderer.

Dia Bird took advantage of the situation to lead these young gentlemen inside, and greeted with a smile: "Students of Duhuangpu? Lonely, cough, not simple. Don't be discouraged by other people's words. Going to Tonghao School is also contributing to the Eastern Xia Kingdom, but the way to contribute to the country is different, isn't it? Welcome. ”

The eldest in his thirties, bowed down and said, "Sir's right. I've been there for several years, and this time I'm going back to my hometown to report on my work, and I'm bringing a few students from Whampoa with me by the way. ”

Diao looked behind him, and saw that there were not all students, two of them were domestic slaves, so he asked, "The scale of the school is not large, why are they old-fashioned?" ”

The head gentleman sighed and said, "Sir doesn't know anything. As the ship commander said, most of the gentlemen are reluctant to go, and they regret it, this time Mr. Xiong greeted the above, doubled the work points, and gave the fifth-level lord in two years, which recruited some gentlemen in Huangpu, they didn't know that now Gaoxian and Dongxia are interconnected, and it is with them that the two countries will come and go closer and no longer war. ”

Dia Bird nodded.

The gentleman said: "Actually, I am Mr. Xiong's township party, and I went to Dongxia to find an errand to meet Mr. Xiong, and my family members were also taken over, and the treatment was still good, and Gao Xian people also had a good impression of us." You're a high-profile person. ”

Diao smiled: "It's authentic. ”

The ice leopard squeezed people and found a place, and everyone sat down and waited for the crew to carry away and salute.

A student felt that Dia Bird was a little familiar, but he didn't know where he had seen it, so he took the initiative to say, "Has Mr. been to our Whampoa?" How do you look familiar? ”

Diaobird admitted: "I've been. I should have gone to see my classmates. You don't know, before Tonghao School, Gao Xian had other schools, I studied in them, and then a few classmates went to Dongxia to teach in Huangpu, and I often went to see them. ”

His lies are not clever, and the students only have to ask him who he is and he is stuck.

But the student apparently believed him, and excitedly said, "The student knows." Gao Xian's previous school was Liuhe, and our king had studied in it, so shouldn't Mr. be a classmate with him. ”

Dia Bird nodded calmly.

A few students immediately found a topic and began to talk to Dia Bird.

Dia Bird paid attention, but the one who sat furthest away was a little indifferent. He was about to ask this man.

A student told him, "Thexue Chan is your high-ranking person. He came to our Huangpu to study, and he took prosperity as his own responsibility, but he didn't like to talk much. ”

Dia Bird asked rhetorically, "Thexue Chan?" ”

He nodded slightly and said: "My uncle has become a native of Dongxia, and has made a lot of contributions, he often sends people to cross the river and persuade my parents to move over, my father is a hundred households, how can he ignore the king and run away?" However, he knew that Gao Xian had a school, and the students who came out of the school were all extraordinary, so he sent me to my uncle's house, and from there I entered Whampoa. ”

Dia Bird was taken aback and said to himself, "Is this okay?" ”

He asked tentatively, "Then what did you study in Whampoa?" ”

Thexue Chan said: "Political science. It is a good thing that a hundred schools of thought in Huangpu are contending, but politics and science are chaotic, and many of them are contrary to the holy precepts, so students specialize in Confucianism and want to use Confucianism to rejuvenate the society. ”

Dia Bird breathed a sigh of relief and said in his heart, "Damn." This Confucianism has a big reputation, but it is not as practical as the mainstream of our political science, so it is good for you to study Confucianism all over the country. But he was not at ease, and said tentatively: "What do you think of the relationship between Dongxia and Gao Xian?" ”

Thexue Chan said: "Since Mr. is also a Gao Xianren, the students know everything, and the students believe that the reason why the two countries are divided is because the female father-in-law is in chaos, if the female father-in-law is willing to marry the king of the Eastern Xia Dynasty, Dia Bird, and teach her husband and children, why is there today?" And Dia Bird, but it is not right, the ancestor has been kind to his family for several generations, and now he is the king of the earth, and he cannot abide by the etiquette, which is really rebellious......"

Someone among the students retorted: "The daughter-in-law is willing to marry the king of Eastern Xia, Dia Bird, husband and child, our king is the orthodox heir, how can you say that you are rebellious?" ”

Thexue Chan debated: "Throughout history, the emperor of the Central Plains did not say that he would inherit his husband, so he should choose one of the children of the clan and make him succeed to the throne. ”

Dia Bird was happy.

It seems that he has learned these things in his studies in Huangpu in this life, he nodded and agreed: "Be polite." However, in front of the people of Dongxia, you can't say anything about it, although what you said is reasonable, it seems rude. ”

He added, "If you think so, can you talk about a topic that we all care about?" What will happen to the two countries in the future? ”

Thexue Chan pondered slightly, and said affirmatively: "Because of the geographical advantage, the Eastern Xia is attached to the Central Plains, and gradually appears to be richer and stronger, but this is all temporary, after all, we occupy the orthodoxy and righteousness, once we are enlightened and successful, and make a difference in benevolence, we can recall the original people, and then the two countries will be united if they are not in harmony." ”

Some students sneered and retorted on the spot: "Our Eastern Xia country will not change its momentum of being rich and strong, and we will overwhelm it with strength and unify the two countries." ”

Dia Bird stopped and said, "All right. All right. In this way, who is strong and who is weak, and who unifies whom, is the most hurtful and angry, so let's not talk about it. ”

He turned his face away and asked the older gentleman, "Sir, in the academy, have you ever met outstanding students?" Are these outstanding students worthy of being made? ”

The older gentleman suddenly had a bright face and said, "Yes." ”

He said: "The female father-in-law has taken in a lot of poor adopted sons, these people know how to read, and there are many of them, but our Mr. Xiong values a child named Li Hu the most...... It's just that he, too Tao, is not obedient, alas, the stricter Mr. Xiong's requirements, the more heaven he goes. ”

Dia's beak was halved.

The ears of the ice-drilling leopard, which had been careless, also stood up suddenly.

Dia Bird said: "There are hundreds of students in the school, this child, you can name this child?" ”

The gentleman said, "Half the city knows it, how much more about how many years I have been coaching?" He is one of the many adopted sons of the public of Gao Xian, in fact, these adopted sons are just a name, their parents receive some subsidies, and they are still children of poor families, but he is not, he does not know that his parents are walking on thin ice, although he is only eight or nine years old, he is smart and domineering, and his knowledge is also outstanding. When he enrolled, there were more than a dozen of the oldest students in the school, and each noble student gathered around a group and assigned to each other, but after a few years, no one expected that it would be an eight- or white-year-old child who finally became the king of the school...... He took the students to eat the meals around the school building, and dared not to give money, and drove people away if the teacher was not good. ”

Thexue Chan asked, "Can he beat those big children?" ”

The gentleman shook his head, sighed, and said, "Those big kids will just stand and be beaten by him." ”

Several students were stunned and asked, "Why?" ”

"That's what it turned out to be," said the gentleman. Even his father-in-law's nephews and nieces were pressed by him. There is still a gap between the husband and the student, and no one knows how it ended up like this. The father-in-law often came to the school, but every time the father-in-law came, he looked very good, and the father-in-law also liked it, and took him to dinner...... Perhaps, it was these few meals that gave him confidence. ”

Several of the students nodded.

Thexue Chan sneered and said, "Why should such a student praise him for being outstanding? I think it's the black sheep? ”

The ice leopard immediately glared.

Others don't know, Mr. Na said: "What if an eight- or nine-year-old child has no teacher in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and what if an eight- or nine-year-old child is better than an adult in writing and martial arts?" ”

Thexue Chan interrupted, "This is impossible? ”

The gentleman also sneered and said, "Don't be presumptuous if you haven't seen it." In fact, he is not so bad, when he sees students from poor families, he gives everything he has, and when he sees the teacher who makes him respect, he is respectful. A year ago, there was a rebellion in Huangzhong, the defeated rebels wanted to capture the school, and used the children as a threat, even Mr. Xiong put on armor and held a long sword, not to mention the children, but this child turned the tide. ”

The students asked: "How did he turn the tide as a child?" ”

The gentleman said: "The boy told the gentlemen that these people attacked the school, definitely not to fight the trapped beasts, but to take the children as hostages, so that they could easily cross the river and surrender to Dongxia. Instead of wasting time here, it is better to break through to the east immediately. They'll pass by like a tidal wave. ”

Thexue Chan asked, "How did a child of him know that the rebels wanted to coerce them into hostage so that they could cross the river and surrender?" ”

Without waiting for everyone to answer, the ice leopard looked at it with an idiot's eyes and said coldly: "Anyone with military common sense knows it." The academy is not a military location, but the rebels are targeted to capture it, and there must be a purpose, what is this purpose other than coercion? Huangzhong is a high-ranking town, and coercing the children has nowhere to go, naturally in order to cross the river. It seems that this gentleman is right, he is at least smarter than an adult like you. ”

Dia Bird hurriedly reprimanded: "Shut up." Just you have military common sense? ”

The gentleman said, "Yes." So many people didn't think that even the leader of the rebels didn't think much about it, but he was a child who could see it clearly and feel the psychology of the rebels, and it would definitely not be something in the pool in the future. ”

Diao asked rhetorically, "Couldn't it have been taught to him?" ”

He knew about it, but he always suspected that it was Cao Xin who was preaching.

The gentleman said: "The gentlemen are all from our Dongxia, and there are some young people who have entered martial arts, but they are in chaos, including Mr. Xiong, who just want to defend with a sword, if they have a good idea, they have to teach the children first?" ”

Diao questioned again: "Couldn't it be taught by someone outside the school?" ”

The gentleman shook his head and said, "The incident happened suddenly, and it was during the school day, and the courtyard door was closed, who could come to sue him?" I know, sir, is not convinced. Don't talk about you, we can't believe it from our own experience. When he grows up in the future, he will definitely be famous. ”
