Chapter 248: Down to the South of the River

Yang Fan and his party rented a big boat. Originally, Yang Fan didn't want to. After all, there are only a few people, so you can't afford to rent such a big ship. However, Zhu Qi said that it was to ensure the safety of the children of the clan, and it was more prudent to rent a single one. Yang Fan really wants to complain, if you want to be safe, then you can rent it yourself, and you have to forcibly pull Lao Tzu to do something.

As a result, Yang Fan had to pay off the money out of his own pocket. The disciple of this clan, Yang Fan knew that he was either the prince or the prince, and he didn't deliberately ask Zhu Qi, so he didn't think there was such a person. Xingzhi stood with him in the bow of the boat, discussing his plans for a few nights ago.

"Do you really want to build a college?"

"What? Does the gentleman think I don't have enough money? Yang Fan looked at the merchant ships coming and going on the canal and asked with a smile. Xingzhi glanced at a few large boxes in the cabin and said with a smile: "I'm not worried about financial resources." These big boxes, even if they are dozens, are enough. But what's the use of you? Isn't it possible to teach another batch of idiots who can only spray feces all over their mouths? ”

Yang Fan smiled and said, "Why did Mr. say this?" ”

"Do you think the academy has cultivated truly capable people? What's more, mixed into officialdom, it's not a group of corrupt officials. In times like this, why should you force it? Xingzhi put down the book in his hand. Reading on a boat is really not a good idea, and it is easy to get tired. He closed his eyes and muttered: "Heaven and earth are so big, if you can play the mountains and rivers, you love this, and someone would rather not enter the turbid world." It's a pity that when I was young, I was determined to serve the court and was able to make a difference, but when I turned around, I looked like this. ”

"Does the gentleman know how to farm?"

"No, it won't."

"Will the gentleman be able to rule the river?"

"No, it won't."

"Does that gentleman know how to collect and dispatch and lead troops to lead generals?"

"Naturally not."

Yang Fan smiled: "In this case, if Mr. is not an official, what is the pity?" ”

The canal is slow. But Xingzhi's chest rose and fell, and his eyes were unkind and asked, "What do you mean?" He could tell that there was some contempt in his words. Although he is very disdainful of being an official, some people dare to question his ability, and they are naturally a little unhappy.

"I'm talking about this. Don't be angry, Mr. Xing. This is an official, and the Four Books and the Five Classics can certainly arm our minds. So what do we need to arm our hands with? As I said before, if you read some of the Four Books and Five Classics, you can become an official, and everyone can be an official. Be a good officer, a good officer. Then you have to have a weapon that can arm your hands. ”

"Weapons? Is it a firebolt? ”

Yang Fan shook his head and said, "It seems that Mr. Xingzhi still doesn't understand." He turned his eyes to Xingzhi and said, "How many capable people will be able to match, and how many of their abilities are trained before entering the office?" And how many have read the sages before? A corrupt Confucian who is full of words, and after taking office, he became a mediocre official or even a corrupt official? ”

Xingzhi nodded, "So, the academy you want to run is ......"

"Now that we are all aware of such drawbacks, why not weed out those who are incompetent and incompetent before the imperial examination? In a place where banditry is rampant, and there are murders from time to time, the governor of the party who governs this place. You have to be good at solving cases and arresting robbers, not a person who reads poetry and books. casually uttered a few words about the chicken ribs of Huazao. Similarly, in a place where agriculture is underdeveloped, if the previous official does not know anything about farming, then what ability does he have to persuade farmers to teach farming? ”

"So, what do you mean. Is it that you want to set up a academy to exercise these things? ”

Yang Fan nodded. "That's right. Let a man be armed with both his mind and his hands. That's how you can make a difference. And that's what I'm going to do. Interested in joining? He smiled. The course I want to open in this academy, military command, and the number of arts and things will be taken care of by myself for the time being, and this agricultural matter, there is Xu Wendinggong's agricultural book, and then I invite some old farmers to explain, I believe that I can also understand some agricultural affairs, as for the criminal case, there is no good candidate, so this kind of course will not be opened for the time being. ”

"The old man was in charge of the Zongren Mansion back then, and he also had some opinions on the investigation of cases and the collection of evidence, I don't know if he should be worthy of a gentleman in the academy?" Zhu Qi walked out of the cabin, in fact, he heard the conversation between the two very early. I have to say that Yang Fan's idea still made his eyes light up and surprised.

"Lord Zongling?"

"What? The old man is not worthy? ”

Yang Fan smiled and said, "How dare you." Didn't you say that there was something important in Jinling? How? Do you want to teach and entertain at this time? ”

"Ahem. The old man will naturally schedule the time. How? Isn't it possible? ”

Yang Fan smiled: "I can't ask for it." "The boat traveled on the big river, all the way to the south, and there were a few people on the boat, and I felt that it was never easy. Travel can really make a difference.

……

……

Jingshi, there will be no missing Yang Fan, and the sky will fall. At dusk, the twilight is heavy. A few horsemen came from galloping. The walking was in a hurry, and the deep-set eye sockets seemed to have come overnight after not sleeping for several days. The horses were a few hundred meters out of the city, and finally they could not hold on to the continuous fast running, and their legs and stomachs twitched, and they tumbled to the ground, foaming at the mouth.

The man hurried into the city and shouted, "Urgent! ”

The Nine Cities Gate suddenly became nervous, and for a while, the capital became restless again. Houjin wild boar skin, which has not moved for a long time, is ready to move again. The fall of Jinzhou, the fall of Gaizhou, and the last place, the fall of Lushun, and the entire territory of southern Liaoning were swept away by lightning speed. The Dongjiang Army suffered heavy losses, and the remaining remnants of the horses retreated to Phi Island.

At this point, the large rear area of southern Liaoning, the base area of the enemy's rear, was swept away. In the battle of Da Linghe, the gloomy cloud on Huang Taiji's head was finally swept away in this battle.

Wen Tiren took the emergency report in a panic, walked into the Qianqing Palace, kowtowed and shouted, "Holy Lord!" Holy! Big things are wrong! The whole territory of southern Liaoning has fallen! Zhu Youzhen, who was still holding the fold in his hand, turned pale and said, "How can this be?" What about the Dongjiang Army? Didn't the year before last be a big setback? Why dare you attack again! ”

"Old minister, old minister doesn't know." He suddenly bowed his head and kowtowed, "The enemy generals are Kong Youde and Geng Jingzhong!" ”

"Kong Youde? Isn't that the culprit of the Dengzhou Incident? ”

"Exactly!"

Zhu Youzhen sat weakly on the dragon chair and muttered: "From now on, the east of the Ling River is no longer the king's land. He held the fold, his hands trembled, his eyes narrowed, and he said, "Pass." The military department Shangshu Zhan Cheng entered the palace. That's right, the intend. Ordered Sun Chengzong and Zu Dashou to supervise Liao and garrison Linghe City. ”

Suddenly, he saw the wooden box on the table. This agricultural book is the original trace. What Yang Fan brought back to Jinling was only a transcript. Zhu Youzhen picked up the book and suddenly found that there was a mezzanine in the wooden box. He lifted the partition.

It's a tip.

"Do you still want to be sympathetic to people's livelihood? Yang Fan, this time you made a mistake in judgment! His eyes were condensed, and his voice was a little gloomy. (To be continued)
