At the beginning of the sixth year of the orthodoxy of the Zhou State, the spring was cold, the Huangzhou Governor's Mansion in Shannan, the Xiyang City of Huangzhou was bustling, and the official road in the northern suburbs of the city, Kong Yingda sat in a four-wheeled carriage and looked at the large farmland outside the car window.

"Lang Jun, the little one has already registered in the state journal, and the formalities have been completed, will you go directly to the state to study in a while?"

"No, let's go to the lodgings and freshen up first, it's rude to go to see the doctor."

"Lang Jun, are you used to sitting in this four-wheeled carriage?"

"The four-wheeled carriage in Shannan really lives up to its name, and it walks very smoothly, but the road needs to be smooth to have such an effect, right?"

"Lang Jun is right, the little one inquired, when this four-wheeled carriage appeared in Shannan, it failed to be promoted because it could only be walked on a good road, and now the official roads between the states are leveled, and the four-wheeled carriage is constantly improved, and more and more talents are used."

"I heard that this was promoted by Gong Guogong back then?"

"The little ones are also mentioned like this, but they can't be verified."

"I've heard people say that when the Duke of Yi Guo was the assassin of Bazhou, in order to suppress the bulging disease, he went around killing schistosomiasis, what did the schistosoma look like?"

"Lang Jun, Bazhou has now been renamed Huangzhou, and the governor's office has also moved to Xiyang City, as for schistosomiasis, I haven't seen the small one, I heard that this insect is born in the water, once people and animals mistakenly enter the epidemic water, the Gu worm will penetrate the skin and enter the body, and it is very small."

Kong Yingda didn't speak again, quietly looked at the scenery outside the window, he was twelve years old this year, with his father living in Qingzhou, I heard that Liu Zhuo, a famous scholar and one of the two Liu, was running a school in Huangzhou, Shannan, and came to Xiyang City, Huangzhou, Huangzhou, to study.

The official road went all the way to the south, crossing a river, Kong Yingda pointed to a wheel-shaped object by the river and asked, "This is... Waterwheel? ”

The old servant in the same car nodded: "Yes, this is a waterwheel, and there are many more along the banks of the river." ”

"What's this watermill for?"

"There are many uses, such as rice licking, rice milling, etc., and replacing manpower and animal power with water power."

"I see."

Kong Yingda has lived in the north for a long time, and when he came to this Jingchu land, many customs and customs have not been seen, since he followed the official road, crossed the Dabie Mountain from Gwangju to the south, and entered the boundary of the Huangzhou Governor's Office, what he saw and heard became more and more different from his hometown.

First of all, the accent and dialect, what he says is not very understandable to others, and he does not understand what others say, of course, if he talks to the stationman reluctantly, it is nothing more than a different accent, but if he speaks to the locals, he is blind.

The carriage soon came to Xiyang City, looking at the bustling crowd at the city gate, and then looking at the magnificent city wall of Xiyang City, Kong Yingda was a little puzzled: "This Xiyang City seems to have a large population?" ”

"Lang Jun, Bazhou... The number of households in Huangzhou today is said to be more than 30,000, not including merchants who come and go from the south to the north, as well as people who temporarily live in Xiyang with their families. ”

Because you have to queue up to enter and exit the city gate, it seems that it will take a while before it is your turn, so the old servant began to introduce it, talking about the changes in Xiyang City.

Xiyang City was originally relatively small, and later the east side expanded out of the new city called Dongcheng, but more and more people settled down, and the governor's office wanted to move to Xiyang City, so in the original east and west of the north side, the new city was expanded again.

Therefore, now Xiyang City is divided into north and south cities, and the south city is divided into east and west ends, even so, Xiyang City is now crowded, after all, the official offices of the governor's office will not occupy a small area, and the officials and their families who have moved in are not a small number.

"I have heard that the Duke of Yiguo will be Bazhou... Huangzhou has been governed by a prosperous industry and gathered many people, and now it is better to be famous. ”

Kong Yingda sighed, and soon entered the city, came to the courtyard rented by the old servant in advance, took off the suit, and hurried to freshen up, changed his clothes, and then rushed to the state school to meet the state doctor Liu Zhuo.

There are many gentlemen in Huangzhou Prefecture, and there are also several state doctors, but the people who study are all rushing to Liu Zhuo, Kong Yingda is no exception, according to legend, this is more "exquisite", so the number of etiquette should not be less.

The state school is located in the old city of Xiyang, that is, the west end of the south city, not very far from the residence, Kong Yingda soon came to the front gate of the state school, got off the car and dressed up, and walked to the gate.

As soon as I entered the door, I saw a statue standing in front of me, Eguan Bo Belt seemed to be a great Confucian, it was really strange to see the four gilded characters on the plaque on the forehead, Kong Yingda quickly straightened his clothes again, and respectfully made a big salute.

"This brother, doing such a big gift, is it not a descendant of the first teacher?"

Kong Yingda turned his head to see that it was a young man of the same age, with a dignified face like a crown and jade, dressed in a somewhat strange blue dress, he raised his hand and saluted to report to his family: "In the next letter, Kong Yingda is the first teacher and the descendant." ”

"Sure enough, Xiao Yu in Xialanling."

"Lanling Xiao Clan? Listening to the accent of Brother Tai, it is none other than Liang Guojiangling..."

"Exactly, Brother Kong is here to meet Dr. Liu?"

Xiao Yu turned his words around vaguely, he is here to study now, not to put on a show.

"Exactly, I don't know Brother Xiao?"

"Go together, go together!"

The two hit it off at first sight, and under the guidance of the state school miscellaneous servants, they first registered Kong Yingda's name, went through the "admission procedures", and then walked towards Dr. Liu Zhuo's lecture hall.

Talking all the way, the two of them are only eleven or twelve years old, but they are crepe in their conversations, like little adults.

Xiao Yu is eleven years old, one year younger than Kong Yingda, but he seems to know a lot about the state school, so he began to enthusiastically introduce it.

"Did Brother Kong bring books with him here? From Hebei to this thousands of miles away, I don't want to bring much, it doesn't matter if I don't bring it, the state school has a library, in the opinion of the younger brother, the collection of books is enough. ”

"Library? Could it be a library for people to flip through books? ”

"Exactly, students can read books in the library, and students can also borrow books from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. after registration, without interruption at noon."

"Eight o'clock? Where do these eight points come from? ”

"Ah, it's the clock, twelve hours a day, subdivided into twenty-four hours, eight o'clock in the morning is about the hour... Hey, the state society sent someone to explain, Brother Kong will know sooner or later..."

Xiao Yu sold it, but it didn't stop: "Also, the library has a permanent light at night, of course, only in the reading room, if you want to read all night, you have to occupy a seat, otherwise you won't be able to grab a place." ”

The more Kong Yingda listened, the more confused he became, and before he had time to digest what the other party said, Xiao Yu revealed new news: "There is a full set of "Hualin Quanlu" in the library, which is compiled and published by the study society, and each book is well-bound, and you have to go early every day, otherwise it will be borrowed." ”

"Is there a complete set of "Hualin Everywhere"!" Kong Yingda was interested when he heard this, but what made him even more confused was another word: study club? Publication? Each one? Binding? Finished borrowing? Why can't you understand it?

"Na, the books are all in one volume, but the books published by the study club are bound into volumes, called books, which probably means volumes..."

"May I ask what kind of school club it is?"

"Studying for a club? Let's just think he's a bookstore... This publication is printed, not handwritten, or... Hey, the state society sent someone to explain, Brother Confucius will naturally understand..."

Xiao Yu kept talking, Kong Yingda understood every word, but the combined vocabulary was completely unfamiliar, just walking, came to a school outside, and heard a person inside lecturing from afar, full of anger.

Seeing someone approaching, a handyman at the door stepped forward and asked, "Two Langjun, are you here to listen to the lecture or are you looking for someone?" ”

"Listening to Dr. Liu's lecture, I wonder if this is Dr. Liu's lecture office?"

"Exactly, I wonder if the two Lang Jun are state students?"

Kong Yingda raised her eyebrows when she heard this: "So what?" Isn't it? ”

"Whether or not students can listen to Dr. Liu's lectures, if they are not students, they only need to register in the state school in advance, but only state students can ask questions in the classroom." The handyman's tone was very calm, "By the way, this Lang Jun will have to wear a school uniform next time he comes, so that Dr. Liu can distinguish it." ”

"I see." Kong Yingda nodded, he came to see Dr. Liu today, but since the other party was lecturing, he would listen to it by the way.

However, when the two of them, under the leadership of the handyman, entered the school through the side door, they were stunned when they saw the black and oppressive human head inside: there is no place!

Everyone sat quietly, listening to the speech of the first middle-aged man, no one looked at the side door that made a movement, Kong Yingda and Xiao Yu were neither advancing nor retreating, just in a dilemma, suddenly someone in the crowd beckoned to Xiao Yu.

Xiao Yu grabbed a straw like a drowning man, pulled Kong Yingda and squeezed in the direction of the man, and said apologetically to others from time to time, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry." ”

It was easy to come to that side, but it was a young man of the same age as Kong Yingda and Xiao Yu, seeing that he was barely able to vacate some places, Xiao Yu didn't care so much, and pulled Kong Yingda to sit down quickly.

The young man knew Xiao Yu, arched his hand and whispered to Kong Yingda: "In Xiayu Wenli, I don't know what Brother Tai is called?" (To be continued.) )
