Even Wang Zhen saw it, looked blankly at the box soldier barracks in the distance, and said, "Jiulang, it's a little difficult to do." ”

Song Jiu bowed his head and was silent, thinking for a long time, feeling dazed, and couldn't help but look up at the sky, Cao Han not only slaughtered the people after going down to Jiangzhou, but also demolished many city walls in a fit of anger, so that Jiangzhou could not be protected in the future, the southern end of the city wall was demolished, and the end of the sky could be clearly seen. Song Jiu had an idea and said, "Let's go." ”

……

"It's so cool." Guo Er said while wiping his sweat with his sleeve.

The three of them went all the way to the south, came to the foot of Lushan Mountain, and then turned to the Wulao Peak on the east side, and entered Lushan, as if the temperature had dropped sharply by ten degrees Celsius.

"Kuro, where are we going?"

"The No. 1 Academy in the World!"

That is, the White Deer Cave Academy, but now it is called Lushan Guoxue. Bailu Cave is not a hole, but a valley under the Wulao Peak, the front has the Wulao Peak to care, the side has Zhuoer Mountain, Houping Mountain and Guyi Mountain are encircled, there is a stream in the middle, through the canyon, into Pengli Lake, overlooking the valley from a high place is quite like a hole. Originally, it didn't have much fame, Tang Li Bo Li Shi lived in seclusion here to study, Li Bo likes to raise reindeer, he raised a white deer is very humane, Li Bo often hangs a money bag on the antlers, writes the things to buy into the money bag, the white deer himself goes to the grass market to purchase, the people in the grass market also know that this is the white deer raised by Li Bo, will take the copper money, according to the note written on the goods on the back of the deer, the white deer itself and returned. After the things were bought, it became the most peculiar bright scene in Jiangzhou at that time.

Later, Li Bo served as the assassin of Jiangzhou, and built some pavilions here. Flowers and trees are planted all over the place, and this is what makes it a famous place. At the end of the Tang Dynasty, the army was in chaos. Schools were destroyed everywhere, and many scholars who went to Lushan to take refuge in seclusion often came to Bailu Cave to study knowledge. During the Southern Tang Dynasty, the Li family formally established a school here. It became the first academy in the world. Chai Rong also established Taiyi Academy in Songshan, but he was just an imitation of the Southern Tang Dynasty.

But at this time, the real first academy in the world is not Taiyi Academy, nor is it Bailudong Academy, but Hezhou, which is not only physical, but also many high-class students are very proficient in Confucianism, nearly 3,000 students, Confucianism is also a major subject, but although Song Jiu repeatedly washed away his imprint. The personal imprint is still very heavy, and it is not recognized by scholars and Confucian scholars all over the world.

Song Jiu won't fight, and it doesn't make much sense to provoke some lip fights.

The three of them stepped into the valley.

The mountain peaks are bright, the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant, and the scenery is very beautiful.

Not far away is where the White Deer Cave Academy is located, and the three of them turned over and dismounted and walked in.

Wang Zhen said: "This is also the first academy in the world." ”

Although Cao Han was very brutal in Jiangzhou, he himself often read and even wrote a few passable poems. During the Jiangzhou tragedy, he ordered not to harm Jiangnan Guoxue. Therefore, the college building was not destroyed.

However, he invisibly hurt the college.

The cruelty of his subordinates scared away some of the students, and there was also supply, and there were hundreds of students at the peak of Jiangnan Chinese Studies in the past. These people also need to eat, drink, clothe, and live, pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, and all kinds of buildings also need to be repaired. It costs a lot of money a year. The money was paid by the Southern Tang Dynasty, and now it is impossible. The second is the donation of the local gentry. Are there still gentry in the surrounding area now? Yes, businessmen from Jiangbei. Will they donate to Jiangnan Sinology?

Without money, the students were hungry and cold, scattered and fled, and now there are only a few dozen students left in the academy.

In fact, in terms of architecture, it is not as luxurious as Hezhou Academy.

If there are only a few dozen people in the large academy, it seems cold and deserted, and the silence is terrifying.

Song Jiu glared at him fiercely, he couldn't underestimate the White Deer Cave Academy, as long as this brand didn't fall, with a little support from the imperial court, he would be able to regain its former glory immediately.

After walking for a while, one of the disciples came to them and asked, "What are you doing here?" ”

"We're here to visit the head of Myeongki." Song Jiu arched his hand.

The apprentice hesitated for a while, if it was before, the three of them came inexplicably, visited the cave chief, and would have blasted out, but now it is difficult to say, he looked at Song Jiu, Song Jiu will not have the temperament of the king, but he has been on the top for a long time, his bearing is calm, and he is definitely not an ordinary person.

"You are ......"

"I'll tell him when I see Myeongdong." Song Jiu said in an almost commanding tone.

The light was not early, Jiangzhou was very timely, and in the evening, the four gates were closed, and the three of them could not enter the city.

The apprentice hesitated again, and finally worriedly took Song Jiu inside, which was an elegant courtyard in which a Confucian student in his forties was studying, and there was a woman in the back who was sewing clothes, about his wife.

Song Jiu made a gesture, Guo Er and Wang Zhen met, and the two of them stood by the door, even the apprentice stopped outside. Song Jiu arched his hand and said, "But Mingdong is long?" ”

The apprentice looked at Song Jiu's salute, although he didn't know the identity of Song Jiu, and he didn't have any malice when he thought about it, so he put down his heart, but he was still standing outside and watching.

Ming Qi stood up and looked at Song Jiu.

Song Jiu said happily: "I heard that the two major academies are proud of the world, but I didn't expect that there would be today. ”

He came to Ming Qi to do something, but it was a win-win situation, but he still didn't have much of a good impression of the Confucian Song Jiu. This kind of thinking is based on the consequences of the chaos of the literati of the Song and Ming dynasties.

Ming Qi said slowly: "No, Your Excellency is talking about Taiyi Academy, here is different from Taiyi Academy, there are many officials, and they have not departed from the world, and Confucianism is not Taoism, what is important is to enter the WTO, how to get out of the world." Taiyi Academy's approach is biased, they are supported by the imperial court, but if they are high, sooner or later they will not be as good as this small Chinese Academy that has broken down in the country. ”

Song Jiu is strong, and he only reasoned from Ming Qi.

"Now that you have joined the WTO, why did the Southern Tang Dynasty break?"

"The lord of man is dim, what can I do? If the lord of the country has the wisdom of the lower half of His Majesty of the imperial court, and the Khitan is forced to take the north of the imperial court, it may not be so easy to take down the Southern Tang Dynasty. Mingqi replied calmly again.

"Since the Han Dynasty, Confucianism has been dominant, why can't every dynasty last long?" Song Jiu sneered again.

"Prosperity must decline, this is the way of heaven."

"This is a Taoist theory."

"Since it is home, where is the avenue where the family has no foothold? Confucianism to this day. How many theories of Taoism, interpretation, law, name, vertical and horizontal, yin and yang, and miscellaneous are mixed in, why can't Taoism be mentioned? ”

Song Jiu felt that he was grinding his mouth with Mingqi. He's doing something stupid, but he can do it just as well. One force will drop ten times, and learn from Zhao Kuangyin.

He took out the sigil from his bosom and placed it in front of Mingqi, let him take a look, and quickly put it into his arms.

Ming Qi wanted to give a salute, Song Jiu said: "Go in and talk." ”

Walking into the house, Ming fluctuated, Song Jiu pulled him back, and Ming Qi said: "It turns out that Song Gong has come to Jiangzhou." The people of Jiangzhou were saved. ”

Putting aside a thousand things, Song Jiu's Zhizhou is obviously more powerful than Zhang Ji, some of Song Jiu's deeds, the people of Jiangzhou may not be very clear, but it is impossible for Ming Qi not to know the Tao, he is in tears, and he said: "Your Majesty, why didn't you send Song Gong to Jiangzhou earlier." ”

"Myeongdong chief, I don't want to disclose my identity for the time being."

Zhilu said. Zhilu Dao. ”

Song Jiu sighed in his heart, people are poor and short-minded, just as Ming Qi said, Jiangnan Sinology is in the WTO. But why so cringe? Seeing the scene of the tall White Deer Cave Chief, Song Jiu couldn't help but have a deeper understanding of the word "family and country".

Ming Qi said again: "Please take a seat." ”

Then he told his wife to serve tea.

"Don't use it, I'm here to get down to business."

"Please."

"You said that the people of Jiangzhou were saved. Are the people of Jiangzhou still the people of Jiangzhou in your heart? ”

Finally, Ming Qi asked, what kind of people are the people of Jiangzhou now. I'm afraid even Zhao Kuangyin can't say it clearly.

"When the officers and soldiers killed the people, you were the cave chief. Why don't you take students to dissuade them? ”

"Song Gong, don't I want to go and dissuade me? On that day, the officers and soldiers were brutal, many people in Jiangzhou fled out of the city, and the officers and soldiers were still chasing and killing behind, and all the people in a radius of hundreds of miles, except for the people who could hide in secret places, were all killed, I don't know if it was tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of people...... "Ming Qi said this, and he cried loudly.

How many civilians were killed is probably a mystery, and no one dares to find out. After Ming Qi finished speaking, he said: "But I am not you, that is, you are in Bashu, and you also used Guan Kou Zhai to make a gambling contract, and used your life as a bet, so that General Wang did not dare to kill, but it can only be said that there are fewer kills, and the officers and soldiers did not kill people later?" ”

Song Jiu was silent.

"Myeongdong Chief, I have always wondered about one thing, why do the people of Jiangzhou resist so much? At that time, Li Yuguoshu arrived in Jiangzhou, and the rebellion of the military and people in Jiangzhou was no longer righteous. Besides, great reunification is also beneficial to the people, and you ask yourself, is it a good thing that the country is divided and wars are endless? Besides, I'm ruled by a foreigner, so I can't figure it out. ”

"Gong Song, this old man knows a little bit. When the officers and soldiers came, the officials in Jiangzhou City were ready to return to the imperial court, but some relatives of the military academy Hu Ze and the general Song Deming died in the battle of the Anhui River Estuary, and the two did not accept it, not only they, including many soldiers and soldiers had relatives who died in that battle, so they agitated, killed the assassin Shi and refused to return to the city, General Cao took the officers and soldiers to suppress, the two sides fought, and sacrificed each other, as more and more people died, the hatred became deeper and deeper, and it was irresolvable, which led to the tragic battle. ”

Song Jiu definitely opposed the Jiangzhou tragedy, but he was not very in favor of the Jiangzhou people's desperate resistance, he had a period of military career, at this time the Song Dynasty soldiers were still relatively simple and unpretentious, and their feelings were deep, so many Song soldiers died in Chenzhou, Pan Mei was angry and wanted to slaughter the city, but fortunately under Li Chao's dissuasion, Pan Mei withdrew the order. But Ming Qi must have thought that the rebellion of the military and civilians in Jiangzhou was a heroic act, but he didn't dare to say it directly.

"Maybe that's the reason, but the tragedy happened, and I can only make amends."

Start with a clear start.

"I want to ask you to ......" Song Jiu changed his words: "In this way, I brought a few hundred taels of silver over to make a coil, and I will hand it over to you tomorrow, it seems that the funds in the academy are embarrassed, so I will solve the food of the students first, and after I take over, I will allocate a batch of money to you." This academy is the cultural base of the south, and it cannot be allowed to fall. ”

"Thank you, Duke Song."

"No thanks, Jiangnan returns, the people of Jiangnan are the people of our dynasty, Jiangnan education is the education of our dynasty, education is the top priority of the country, I am not for you, but for the country. But before I take over, I would like to ask you to do a few things for me......"

……

"Myeongdong Chief, why do you have time to enter the city today?" Chen Qiu said.

"Chen Kongmu, I am helpless, the academy is embarrassed, and many students have no intention of studying, so they go their separate ways."

"Myeongdong chief, it's useless for you to look for me."

"Chen Kongmu, don't worry, it's not difficult for me to ask you to do something, can you ask Jiang Zhizhou to allocate a hundred hectares of land for the academy to be used as a study field, so that the teachers and students of the academy can solve the life crisis." Mingqi said.

At this time, he remembered what Song Jiu said yesterday.

"Mingdong Chang, how is the Chen family at the foot of Lushan Mountain?"

"Song Gong, he is a descendant of Chen Shubao in the south of the Yangtze River, after the end of the Tang Dynasty, some Chen clan people took refuge at the foot of Lushan Mountain, because they are far away from the city, and they are Jiangzhou Wang surnames, many people are Tang officials, and more than 2,000 members of the Chen family were lucky not to be killed. When Zhang Zhizhou returned to Jiangzhou, he used Chen Qiu, a descendant of the Chen family, to serve as a Confucian official. ”

"The hole of the dossier...... Myeongdong Chief, when you enter the city early tomorrow morning, you ask him to help in the name of Xuetian, and ask Zhang Ji to allocate land to the academy. ”

"Gakuta?"

"It is the exclusive cultivated land allocated to the academy, and there is a school field, which can solve the food and vegetables of some teachers and students of the academy, and also allow students to get some exercise, rather than talking on paper. I will solve this problem after I take over, but you will ask Chen Qiu first. There are two situations, the first he agrees, and the second he will not agree. ”

"I still don't quite understand."

"I came to Jiangzhou for two days and heard some news, but it was limited, and I will be of great use to this Chen Hu. But I'm also afraid, recruiting Jiangbei people and businessmen to come over, it would have been right, I have also done similar measures in Guangnan, but the nature of Jiangzhou has changed now. If Chen Qiu is wrapped up with them and accepts bribes, his clansmen's location is not far from the academy, and your fame is still there, so he will easily agree and give you a face. Then you don't do anything, so as not to startle the snake. ”

"No, it won't."

"Just in case. I know that Lu Dao will not, his family is in Jiangzhou, seeing the miserable situation of the people in Jiangzhou, there is a grudge in his heart, there are more than a dozen senior state officials in the state government, most of them are from Jiangbei, even if there are bribes, most of him can't get it, there is hatred in his heart, because he is from Jiangzhou, he will usually be excluded, and he has resentment. But in the face of the situation in Jiangzhou, he had no choice but to dare to be angry and dare not speak, in order to seek the safety of the whole clan. ”

"I know that if this is the case, he will not agree."

Ming Qi looked up at Chen Qiu.

"Chief Myeongdong, it's too late for me to protect myself, how dare I promise you. But don't worry, I'll tell you about it, it's just that there is too much land, that's a hundred hectares ......."

"Sure enough, I'll show you a letter." Ming Qi took out a letter from his bosom.

Chen Qiu opened it and looked at it, shocked. (To be continued......)
