The west of Handan City near the tributary of Fushui is a society, because it is located in Handan, people are used to calling it Handan Society, and because it is the Taifu of Chu State who presides over the society, and some people call this society Taifu Society.

Unlike other clubs, there is no need to be constrained to enroll in the club, no matter who it is, as long as the boy is brought in, as long as he is of the right age, he has no physical illness and no head disease. Of the 80,000 households in Handan, about 10 percent of the 400,000 people are school-age children, and even if you subtract the girls and the children of the noble who are not willing to be with the children of the common people, there are nearly 20,000.

The 20,000-strong school has never existed in ancient times, but now this school is built in the western suburbs of Handan. Before Chunpinghou joined the club, he heard the sound of the children's reading aloud, and when he joined the club, he found that the students were reciting the ...... It turned out to be "Sima Law":

"The ancients were based on benevolence and righteousness. If you don't get the right to do so. The power comes from the war, not from the Chinese. Therefore, killing people is peaceful, and it is okay to kill them; Attack its country, love its people, and attack it; Stop the war with war, although it is okay to fight. Therefore, benevolence sees relatives, righteousness sees words, wisdom sees fear, courage sees body, faith sees faith ......"

(In ancient times, people took benevolence as the foundation and handled national affairs in a ceremonial manner, which was the regular way.) When the formal means do not achieve the goal, the method of contingency must be used. The conjures were motivated by the necessities of war, not by faithfulness and charity. Therefore, it is permissible to kill a man and bring peace to the masses; It is okay to attack a country out of love for its people; It is possible to stop war with war, even if it is to start a war.

Therefore, charity brings people close; Justice is pleasing to men; The use of wisdom makes people rely on it; Courage leads to imitation; Honesty leads to trust. In this way, the internal can be loved by the people, so as to defend the land and the country; Externally, it can have a deterrent power to defeat the enemy...... ）

Zhao Liang listened and listened, and suddenly trembled, and this tremor could not be suppressed. And he was constantly trembling, and he couldn't tell whether this trembling was out of excitement or fear.

"Mu Ling has seen Xiangbang." Que Guanzi didn't greet him in person, it was Mu Ling who came out to greet the guests, and he was a little strange why Chunpinghou didn't get out of the car.

"Yes." Zhao Liang in the carriage choked for a moment, and then got out of the car to greet Mu Ling. "I came in a hurry, and I didn't bring the gift of meeting, please take the jade pendant as the fee for Mr.'s carriage and horses."

Zhao Liang untied a string of accessories hanging from his belt. With weekly gifts, gifts must be given when visiting the door. Zhao Liang gave the accessories to Mu Ling without refusal, he smiled and said, "Xie Xiangbang." The society has survived to this day thanks to the help of Xiangbang. ”

Such a large school society does not teach all the Five Classics, and it is in 'vicious' competition with the school society in Handan City, so it is naturally hated by people. After Zhao Yan's death, the book club was immediately attacked by some people, and Zhao Liang specially sent people to send 100 gold to attack the people of the book club as birds and beasts.

"No, no." Zhao Liang returned to normal, he smiled and remembered what he had just heard: "It's because of this to kill people, and it's okay to kill people; Attack its country, love its people, and attack it; Stop the war with war, although it is okay to fight. ”

Zhao has this book society, which is the blessing of Zhao Guo. Teaching children in the art of war, and waiting for students to grow up is the pillar of Zhao. ”

Zhao Liang didn't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, and pointed out the art of war. Mu Ling smiled dryly, and he said: "The system of the book club comes from the Chu State, otherwise, it will not be ......."

Mu Ling explained, at this time, Zhao Liang had already moved forward, and he had no choice but to follow. Through the windows, Zhao Liang could see the students sitting in the school room and the gentleman in front of the blackboard. The students who memorized the texts were attentive, and the students who practiced calligraphy looked at them curiously. And in the distance of the school, some people were actually practicing archery. He forgot for a moment that he had come to see the Crane Crown, and instead walked over to the students who were practicing archery.

"The school is all Chu system?" Zhao Liang asked as he walked, looking kind.

"Yes, yes." Mu Ling replied. "Admission to school in the art of war is the intention of the widow. Widow Junyun: A man should be a soldier. Sima Fa is not the law of Sun Tzu, its heart is benevolent, its words are prudent, and its intentions are right. Although the art of war is ancient, it should also be known. ”

"Great goodness!" Zhao Liang couldn't forget the trembling when he heard the student recite "Sima Fa". He then sighed and said: "I heard that all counties in Chu Kingdom have established schools, and children between the ages of eight and eleven, regardless of gender, can be enrolled, but is it? ”

"Yet... Neither is it. Mu Ling replied. There are many princes in the Chu State, and all the counties and towns run schools, but the societies are not the same as the societies, and the number of students is also uncertain. For example, Chen County has more than 30,000 students, more than 1,000 classrooms, and 2,000 gentlemen. In Ruxi County, there are only 3,000 students, only 100 classrooms, and more than 200 gentlemen. ”

The political turmoil in the Chu State was even more chaotic after the implementation of the Ao system, and the situation of the county schools was the embodiment of the political turmoil. But even so, Zhao Liang still couldn't help but shake his head. The king of Chu allowed children from all over the country to go to school for free, and when these students who knew the art of war and knew archery grew up, the world would probably be the world of the Chu people.

Thinking of this, Zhao Liang was no longer interested in watching the students shoot arrows, but turned around and walked towards the residence of the crane crown. At this time, a student with a bow shouted from afar, 'Weng! Then he jumped and ran. This is a child of a short soldier in Zhao Liang's personal entourage, and when he was shouted by his son, he was at a loss and looked at Zhao Liang with some concern.

"Nothing." Zhao Liang smiled lightly, "It's okay for your father and son to get together." ”

"Haha......" The lord is so generous, and the servants all laugh. The short soldier honestly touched the back of his head, and was soon dragged away by his son.

"I don't know anything." Zhao Liang asked. "There are so many societies, and it will be ...... after the completion of the business"

"Don't worry." Mu Ling smiled. "There are four courses taught by the society, one is Zhao language, the second is nature, the third is practice, and the fourth is martial arts. It is not to make people generals, ministers, officials, and officials, but only to teach people to be people and to do business. ”

"For karma?" Zhao Liang was puzzled, and he was also puzzled by those courses.

"The lesson of nature teaches the method of calculating and interpreting the changes of all things in heaven and earth; Practical lessons, teaching skills, farming, etiquette. When students become successful, the home of a businessman can be a businessman, the home of a hundred workers can be a hundred workers, and the home of a farmer can be a farmer. Mu Ling replied.

"So, how can you learn?" It turns out that after studying, businessmen are still businessmen, hundreds of workers are still hundreds of workers, and farmers are still farmers. Zhao Liang thought that these people would be the pillars of the country after they became successful, but they didn't expect that they would still be ordinary people after they became successful.

"What does Xiangbang think is learning?" Mu Ling asked rhetorically.

"To learn for oneself...... "Studying is of course to get ahead, there were 3,000 disciples of Confucius, many of whom were ministers and officials. Zhao Liang wanted to say it, but he felt that it was wrong. There are many scholars in the world, and if there are hundreds of thousands of students in a country like the Chu State, and more than 100,000 people become careers a year, wouldn't the world be in chaos.

"The widow thinks that a person who reads can be a gentleman, a loser, and a lawsuit, but he must not learn to be a good man." Mu Ling smiled. "Therefore, Chuguo Primary School does not need to be restricted, and the tuition fee of the middle school is extremely high, and you cannot enter without the recommendation of nobles and scholars, and the same is true for universities."

"So it is." Zhao Liang instantly understood the intention of this education system: after the industry is completed, the common people are still the common people, and the nobles are still nobles. In this case, why did the king of Chu spend money to enroll the children of the common people? What's the point?

"I don't know why you came forward?" The crown of the crane is gray-haired, and after a few years, not only is he not old, but he is strong.

"It's for the survival of the Zhao Kingdom." Zhao Liang got straight to the point. "The Qin people attacked Zhao, and the Zhao State survived. Liang thought that if the king of Chu did not save him, Zhao would die; If Zhao dies, the state of Chu may die. ”

"You knew this was the case." Crane Guanzi naturally understood Zhao Liang's intention. The Zhao army was defeated in Pingyang, and the general was killed in battle, and the whole city of Handan panicked, and some capable merchants and nobles all ran to the north.

"This Liang's sin is also." Zhao Liang knew what the crux was, and he paused: "However, Zhao Guo is in danger, please ask Mr. to present his feelings on his behalf." ”

"The king of Chu is not a benevolent person." What is Zhao Guanzi Zhao Ren, he saw Zhao Liang paused, and it was not good to be cold again, so he naturally talked about Xiong Jing. "King Qi broke his promise and abolished the marriage, and Zhao Guo ...... several times"

"Liang's sin too! The sin of the beam too! Zhao Liang paused again. Liang should not be confused by small profits, but should send troops to attack Qin in order to recover Yecheng. However, today the Qin people want to destroy Zhao, Zhao Chu's lips and teeth are interdependent, and his lips and teeth are cold, so he implores the king of Chu to send troops to save Zhao. ”

"It's hard." Crane sighed. "The state of Chu has gone through great battles, many soldiers have died, and the warehouse is empty, how can you save Zhao?"

He had heard early on that the corn in the last year of the Chu State was supported by the Qi State. Although Xiang Yan robbed Qin's Ao Cang, how much grain can Ao Cang have? The real warehouses of the Qin State are in Xianyang and Yancheng. The warehouses there are as dense as forests, and there are hundreds of millions of stones of corn stored.

"Please ask the king of Chu to send out the boat." Zhao Liang also knew the truth about the state of Chu, so he retreated to the next best. "If the state of Chu sends out a boat division, it can prevent the Qin people from transporting grain from the big river, and the danger of Handan will be solved."

"The Qin people transported grain not by boats, but by four-wheeled vehicles." Crane Guanzi Road. "What is the use of the Chu Junzhou Division in the Great River?"

"Or can you go ashore and disturb the Qin army's grain road?" Of course, Zhao Liang knew about the Qin army's four-wheeled car. This kind of car can hold 70 or 80 stones, which is three times that of a double-wheel car.

"I heard that the Qin army was transporting grain from Hedong Road and going north from Baicheng." The news of the crane crown is not very well-informed, but he knows the way of the world. The Qin army on the South Road transported grain either from Hedong Road or Henan Road (that is, the Yellow River Water Transport), and the Chu State Boat Division was in Daliang, so how could it transport grain from Henan Road? Most likely, it is Hedong Road, and then from Baicheng out of Taihang to the north.

"Sir, sir, how do you know that the Qin army is transporting grain from Hedong Road?" Zhao Liang was surprised.

"The Qin army's grain is out of Baicheng, Gongyi and Chaoge must be heavily guarded, and the Chu army's boat division is only tens of thousands, how to disturb it?" Que Guanzi said, and finally forced his gaze at Zhao Liang: "The king asked the king of Chu to send troops, and wanted to make the king of Qin angry with Chu, and kill Chu to save Zhao?" ”

"Far from it! Far from it! Zhao Liang was sweating profusely in an instant, and his vest was wet.
