The newly completed Chongwen Academy is located in an alley on Gucheng South Street, this alley is called Zao Thorn Lane, and the entire alley is covered by the academy, which is named after the jujube trees planted in the alley.

Gao Junshan teaches one class to the middle and lower grade disciples and two classes to the senior students every morning. He knows that to promote the development of science and technology, it must be a gradual and long-term task, and after several years of hard work, gratifying results have been obtained, and there is still a long way to go to make a leap forward in science and technology at the end of the Ming Dynasty.
The academy in the political life of the Ming Dynasty, has a pivotal position, the three outlines and five constants, the heaven and earth monarch teacher, the relationship between teachers and students is comparable to that of father and son, through the academy, Gao Junshan has thousands of children, and the number of his children is still increasing, these children are the cornerstone of his future foothold in the country.
The days passed quickly, and it seemed that it was already May, and the weather was starting to get hot.
On this day, the prison army Zhang Dajing came to find Gao Junshan.
"General Gao, there is an urgent matter to discuss with you." Zhang Dajing said as soon as they met.
Gao Junshan was very polite to Zhang Dajing: "Lord Prison Army, if you have anything to say, just give orders, I, Gao Junshan, will never refute your face." ”
"That's right." Zhang Dajing said in a consultative tone, "There is a team from Yunnan that happened to pass by our Gucheng, and Shangfeng meant to let them enter Gucheng and strengthen Gucheng's defenses. However, there were not many of them, only 2,000 people, all cavalry. ”
Troops from Yunnan? Gao Junshan was trying to get acquainted with some border generals so that he could use them in the future, so he agreed without hesitation: "Okay, there are brothers from Yunnan who come to help defend it, this is what I can't ask for in Gao Junshan!" Invite them over! ”
Zhang Dajing didn't expect Gao Junshan to agree so happily, and his nervous mood relaxed a lot: "General Gao, they will arrive in two days, and I will definitely introduce you after they come." It's just that where does General Gao intend to place them? ”
Gao Junshan said: "This matter is easy to do, I will hand this matter over to Tian Junshi to arrange, you just wait for his notice!" ”
After receiving a clear reply from Gao Junshan, Zhang Dajing took his leave.
Two days later, Long Zaitian's 2,000 Yunnan cavalry entered Gucheng, and Gao Junshan held a banquet in his mansion to warmly entertain Long Zaitian and his family, and washed the dust for Long Zaitian.
Speaking of Yunnan, Gao Junshan's words box can be opened, from Kunming to Dali, from Dali to Lijiang, from Lijiang to Lugu Lake, and then to Yunnan's cross-bridge rice noodles, Yunnan's Pu'er tea, Yunnan's Baiyao.
The atmosphere of the banquet was very harmonious, Long Zaitian introduced his family to several ladies of Gao Junshan, when Long Zaitian's wife heard that the eldest lady and the third lady were pregnant, the intimacy was not to mention, because Long Zaitian's wife was also pregnant with a baby, and everyone had endless words.
After the banquet, Han Yuyan specially lent his sedan chair to Mrs. Long, and told her to be careful all the way, Gao Junshan asked Sun Kewang to personally send Long Zaitian and his wife back to the house, and sent a lot of gold and silver treasures to Long Zaitian, which moved Long Zaitian.
The next day, Long Zaitian also set up a banquet at home to entertain Gao Junshan's family, Gao Junshan's family has a lot of people, three wives and nine sons, including godson Sun Dahai, Ma Jin, Ma Wen, Li Dingguo, Liu Wenxiu five, plus two treasures, three treasures and four treasures.
Long Zaitian set up a thank-you banquet this time, and the banquet was lively again. At the banquet, Gao Junshan toasted Long Zaitian with a wine glass, and then said, "Brother Long! You have to take your men and horses around the countryside near Gucheng, the people here are all rich, fuck you said that we are stationed here, and the court will not pay us silver, what do we rely on to eat? ”
Long Zaitian was already three points drunk, and said with a smile: "I understand this, I won't go to fish it myself without money?" I'm guarding so many people and horses to eat dry food, right? ”
Gao Junshan fanned the flames and said: "That's right, you see that my sister-in-law is in need of nutrition now, you can't let her be hungry, this is our man's responsibility!" ”
Long Zaitian said: "Brother Gao, don't worry, I will take someone out tomorrow." ”
Having said this, Gao Junshan also felt that he had almost drunk it, so he got up and said goodbye: "Brother Long! That's all for today, we should go back too, you see this bunch of people, big and small. ”
Long Zaitian still wanted to stay in Gao Junshan to drink two more glasses, but his wife secretly pushed him, and he came to his senses: "Yes, yes." My brother and daughter-in-law are also pregnant, so it's time to go back. Next time, next time I'm feasting Brother Gao, let's drink and have a good time! ”
"Farewell, farewell!"
"I'm not far away!"
When Gao Junshan returned home, he ordered Tian Fang to send people to spread bad words about Long Zaitian, saying that Long Zaitian connived at his subordinates to disturb the neighbors.
