Zuo Ci and Yu Ji preached the palace named Tianshi Palace, some will make people mistakenly think that it is the Tao of the Heavenly Master, which is also deliberately done by the two, as far as Taoism is concerned, the foundation of Taoism at that time was shallow, one is the Taiping Dao, the other is the Dao of the Heavenly Master, all of which originated from the Taoist doctrine of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.

Zhang Jiao and Yu Ji had an intersection in their early years, Yu Ji used the "Taiping Qing Program" when he preached in Langya Palace, and when he arrived at Zhang Jiao, it became the "Taiping Sutra", in fact, there was no difference in nature, but Zhang Jiao set off the Yellow Turban Uprising, and Taiping Dao also became a crooked way in the eyes of outsiders.

Although Guo Jia entered Yizhou, the soldiers and many people under his command believed in the Taiping Dao, but if the two openly established the Taiping Dao, Guo Jia would definitely not agree, which is why Guo Jia renamed the Yellow Turban Army the Taiping Army, in the name of the Yellow Turban Army, it is a public anti-thief in the world, and it is a new force to become a Taiping Army in disguise, at first it is still a thief, but at least it is a nominal connection with the Yellow Turban, and Guo Jia definitely does not want to bear the black pot for what the Yellow Turban Army did before.

And people who have the heart to the Tao will be thrown into the Heavenly Master Dao, which is Hanzhong Zhang Lu to promote the five buckets of rice Sect, but in the bud was strangled by Guo Jia, now Zuo Ci preached in Jilijiao, with the name of a palace can make people mistakenly think that it is the Tao of the Heavenly Master, in fact, the doctrine they preach is still the "Taiping Qing Program" or "Taiping Sutra", a typical sheep's head to sell dog meat.

The layout of the palace is simple, quiet and peaceful.

Confucianism cultivates oneself, Buddhism cultivates one's mind, Legalism governs people, and Taoism governs the world. In fact, the rise of each school is essentially good, but the organization of the development school is misused or used for public gain, which has led to the decline of the school or the criticism of the world.

Guo Jia is conscientious and conscientious, and sometimes he is busy, in addition to falling in love with his wife and concubine, he also likes to occasionally listen to people lecture on the Tao, and listen to lectures with an open attitude, judging whether he is right or wrong, it is always beneficial.

Zhen Jiang took his sisters to visit the Taoist temple under the leadership of Yi Ji and do some prayers and blessings, while Guo Jia listened to Zuo Ci's sermon in the main hall of the Heavenly Master Palace.

“…… There is no mutual growth, difficulty and ease are compatible, the length is comparative, the high and the low are inclined to each other, the sound is harmonious, and the front and back are followed. ”

After listening to most of Zuo Ci's preaching, Guo Jia couldn't say much, but before he fell, he cheered up and gave Zuo Ci a salute to thank him for the sermon.

"It's better for the little prince to stay a few more days and try the food here in the poor road." Zuo Ci wanted to keep Guo Jia.

Guo Jia excused himself and said: "No, the autumn harvest has just passed, there are many political affairs, and it is rare for me to give myself a few days off to visit the mountains and rivers, hehe, by the way, Zuo Lao Dao, you used to teach children martial arts in Yingchuan, in the future, as always, how?" ”

Zuo Ci smiled faintly, nodded and agreed, the Taoist sect pays attention to physical and mental practitioners, and physical fitness is a compulsory course, helping Guo Jia teach some children martial arts, Zuo Ci doesn't think it's a big deal, he usually teaches the disciples, and there is no difference between having more children.

Turning around and about to go down the mountain to leave, Guo Jia joked: "I declare in advance, don't instill the concept of cultivation in those children I sent from an early age, I don't force them to take any way, and you don't beat around the corner to increase your own disciples." ”

Zuo Ci, who couldn't cry or laugh, sent Guo Jia out and said, "The little prince only allows the poor road to accept a maximum of fifty apprentices every year, and the poor road can only be carefully selected." ”

After Zhen Jiang and his two younger sisters, who were waiting outside, saw Guo Jia and Zuo Ci come out, Zhen Jiang first saluted Zuo Ci and Yu Ji and a group of Taoist disciples, and said goodbye: "Thank you for the hospitality, he said that if he has time, he will definitely come to visit again." ”

Zuo Ci Yu Ji returned the salute with a smile and watched Guo Jia and his party go down the mountain and leave.

Standing outside the gate of the Heavenly Master Palace, looking down at Guo Jia's back descending the mountain, Zuo Ci suddenly said: "Little Taigong, after all, it is still the life of Xiao Taigong." ”

Hearing this, Yu Ji, who looked solemn, looked up at the sky, and the sky reflected by the red glow was as delicate as fire.

"A few years ago, I was born with a vision, and I thought it was Dong Zhuo stealing from the Dragon Court, but I didn't expect the demon star to appear, the heart star was hit hard, and the imperial court was in danger, Dong Zhuo, his life was short, but the demon star was still bright, it seems that I was wrong back then, the real demon star turned out to be ......"

"The demon star is in the world, the people of the world are at fault, the main soldiers are in trouble, and the demons are dead. The fate of the little prince is impermanent, maybe there is a turnaround in the future, the dragon gas will flow to the southwest in the early years, when entering Yizhou, the little prince has the potential of the hidden dragon, after returning from Jingzhou, the dragon elephant is dispersed, but the dragon gas is still haunting the southwest, if the little prince does not have the emperor's order, either the descendants behind him have a hidden dragon, or, Yizhou, there are people who usurp the mandate of heaven dormant. "Guo Jia's life is an eternal and difficult problem in Zuo Ci's heart, from Guo Jia's childhood after seeing his face and asserting that it was Jiang Taigong's reincarnation, to now, Guo Jia is lying together, and the number of lives seems to have returned to the original point, but it is just longer than the life of Zuo Ci who believed that Guo Jia died early in his early years.

Yu Ji nodded thoughtfully, and said with a frown: "Mrs. Zhen is the wife of the little princess, but she is destined to be rich and noble, but she has no life to give birth to a hidden dragon, could it be that there are really usurpers around the little princess?" If that's the case, we still need to warn the little princess. ”

Raising a smile, Zuo Ci smiled and shook his head and said: "The secret of heaven must not be revealed, and the little prince will not believe what you and I say, the way of breaking the sky will only make the little prince suspicious and suspicious, and there is no benefit. ”

After returning to Chengdu, Guo Jia began to prepare for the spring examination next year, which was the second scientific examination he had implemented the imperial examination system, and he was not very optimistic about how many people would take the exam, but the preparation should not be careless.

After the autumn harvest, after collecting the tax grain, after statistics, although Guo Jia reduced the tax, but in fact, the grain tax collected this year was 10% higher than last year, because the peasant households that had been privately collected in the past were incorporated into the registered population, no longer exploited by the local wealthy clans, and the fruits of labor were not collected by the local tyrants, and the people who followed Guo Jia's Taiping army to Yizhou in the south also increased the number of peasant households this year, and the income was naturally more abundant than before.

This is a win-win situation, the people's income has doubled than before, the income of the government has not plummeted, it can be the same as before and slightly increased, it is a good start, now Yizhou has a registered population of more than five million, and there are constantly foreign populations to take refuge in Yizhou, which not only provides productivity, but also advanced technology and talents in the north.

In the early days of the reform of the law, Guo Jia was deeply pleased to have a good start, and only by strengthening the army and sufficient food could his rule be more stable, and it was also the basis for external expansion.

The 100 schools have been built, after the autumn harvest, the people find that their income has increased, not only self-sufficient, there is surplus food, some life pressure is not heavy, the people who can easily face the future are happy to see the children of the family go to the 100 schools to study, and seek to get ahead in the future, because in Yizhou want to be an official, relying on talent to learn, no need to be recommended, the annual spring test is the best stage.

Cai Yong played a very good role model as the most famous figure in the Hundred Schools, some exiled Beishi did not want to work for Guo Jia, but they also did not want to work in the field, seeing Cai Yong preaching and teaching in the Hundred Schools, so he also went to apply for the lecturer of the Academy, and those who passed the study could get the money paid by the Yizhou Government, although nominally they were not officials.

Hundred schools are just a starting point, Guo Jia does not expect to receive returns from it within a few years, education is originally a matter of merit in the present and benefits in the future, not overnight can have results, ten years of trees and a hundred years of people, only the accumulated work can gradually be effective.

Since last winter, Guo Jia purged the Taiping Army and suppressed rebellions in various places one after another, the new year can be described as smooth, the people live and work in peace and contentment, compared with last winter when officials were sent to take office caused by the Yizhou officialdom earthquake, there were more than 40 rebellions in a month, this year, there were less than five small-scale rebellions, and the damage caused was very limited, and now, Guo Jia will not show mercy to any of the original Yizhou scholars and wealthy people, because he is already the support of the people, worthy of the name of the Yizhou ruler, the people are ignorant, There is no culture, after a year of hard work, whether there is more or less food in their hands, whether the officials oppress them, this is an obvious fact, there is no need to judge the big right and wrong, people's hearts are flesh and blood, good and bad, and they know it.

When the pace of spring approached, Yizhou Mansion once again ushered in the visit of scholars from all over the world.

The last scientific expedition was in the winter of the previous year, when Guo Jia had to do it, because he needed to quickly promote a group of officials to replace the officials of the Yizhou Shi clan, and the second scientific expedition was in the spring after more than a year, and it will be carried out in this season in the future.

Because of the effect of the last scientific examination, talented people from all over the world also understood Guo Jia's intention, not to humiliate the scholars with their talents, but to use the scientific examination to select officials, this way is like a big wave of sand, whether the gold submerged in the sand can shine depends on their own ability.

At the same time, there is also a martial arts, Guo Jia sent ten martial arts children from the guards as a group of examiners, a total of 100 groups of examiners, can win a game, directly appoint the captain, can win three games in a row, directly appoint the chief, win five games in a row, appoint the centurion, win seven games in a row, appoint the small capital, win nine games in a row, appoint the majority of the commander, if you can win ten games, Guo Jia will test the art of war again, if you can pass the test, you can be a partial general in the army, command three thousand soldiers.

In the spring, everything recovers, the earth warms up, Guo Jia watched his son Guo Ye practice calligraphy in the house, but he leisurely tasted tea with tea.

This year, there are fewer talents participating in the scientific examination than last time, but there are also a lot, there are nearly 700 people, and the marking work is nearing the end, Guo Jia is waiting for their reply.

Qin Mi strode into the hall with his head held high, and after giving Guo Jia a salute, he said: "Lord, there are not many people who are particularly talented in scientific research this year, but there are two people who are brilliant and talented. ”

Guo Jia put down the teacup and said with a smile: "I'm afraid there aren't many people who can describe Zi Meng as talented, what are they called?" ”

"Fa Zheng, Huang Quan."
