Chapter 16: Preaching, Teaching, and Resolving Doubts
For the people of Tao County, the past few days have been more fantastic than the past few decades of their lives.
First, the sky was clear and rainy.
Then there is the vision of heaven and earth.
In the blink of an eye, His Majesty the Emperor, who was almost unreal, was actually in Nanshan.
And even more incredible is ...... Tao County, there is really a saint.
No one knows exactly what happened in Nanshan.
The majestic Guards cut off all prying eyes.
People only know that after a conversation without knowing the details, countless fast horses rushed from Nanshan Mountain, carrying the order flag, to all directions.
Then, the news that "Mr. Lin" was going to open a lecture hall in Nanshan spread throughout the town.
And that's just the beginning.
The whole news is like a pebble, smashed into the quiet lake on this extraordinary day, causing endless ripples.
Soon, more news began to spread to the small county.
……
"The Imperial Forest Army has set up camp at the foot of the South Mountain."
"His Majesty the Emperor did not return to the city, but stayed at the foot of the mountain."
"Not only that, but I heard that several ministers of the DPRK and China who accompanied him were also waiting there, saying that they wanted to be the first batch of students."
"Students? Could it be that Mr. Lin...... Do you really dare to accept Your Majesty as a disciple? There were some who clearly did not believe it, though the man who said this had never seen the king.
"What's impossible? That's a saint......" someone exclaimed.
"But...... Is there really such a young saint? ”
In the small Tao County, after tea and dinner, there are many similar remarks like snow.
To this day, there are still people who can't believe what they see.
Until the Imperial Forest Army brought soldiers and horses and took a large number of tables, chairs and benches from the city in a grand manner.
Until, at the foot of Nanshan Mountain, barracks were really set up.
……
……
"Fortunately, I was prepared, otherwise I really wouldn't have been able to stop these people."
Leaving the mountain martial arts hall.
Lin Tuo, who switched his consciousness back to his body again, rubbed his face, then got up, looked at the Sand Table Continent, and couldn't help but muttered to himself.
Thinking back to Fang Cai's scene, he was really a little nervous.
Although several layers of foreshadowing have been arranged in advance, if you want to prove yourself in front of the monarch and the ministers, it is not something that can be solved by showing your face.
These people, after all, are not stupid.
After letting the Imperial Forest Army pass the word, the young emperor took several important ministers to visit the mountain, and Lin Tuo had to hold a shelf and have a conversation with him.
By the way, I used the prepared materials to teach them a lesson, which can be regarded as showing real talent and learning.
Lin Tuo even thought about it, if the other party was still not convinced, or didn't understand, then he would have another "vision of heaven and earth".
Fortunately, these back-hands are useless after all.
Emperor Chi and those ministers were far more intelligent than he imagined, and even if Lin Tuo only showed the tip of the iceberg, most of them didn't fully understand.
But without delay, they realized the preciousness of that knowledge.
"To learn a new knowledge, you must have a smart enough mind, and hopefully they can find enough smart people as soon as possible, well, or at least, find enough people to record it."
Lin Tuo's plan was very simple, to use the residual power of the gods to open a pulpit, so that the monarch of the Chi Kingdom would send over enough talents with the ability to learn.
After that, it is up to them to pass on the knowledge themselves.
In this way, we will promote the development of human society in the sand table.
It doesn't have to be successful, but you can give it a try.
"I only hope that this monarch can be more competitive, after all, with the current situation of Chi State, the safest way is to reform from the top down."
……
……
Facts have proved that this monarch is more competitive than Lin Tuo expected.
Also more serious.
In the next two days, there was no calm in the entire Tao County.
Probably with the intention of hollowing out this saint, with Lin Tuo's acquiescence, the monarch of Chi Guoguo waved his hand and immediately ordered the expansion of the school.
The entire Tao County, and even the entire Fucheng, were shaken.
In just two days, a piece of flat land was reclaimed along the dilapidated academy in Nanshan, and thousands of tables and chairs were transported here, lined up, which was spectacular.
At first glance, the seats opened up can accommodate at least 1,000 people at the same time.
At the same time, cars and horses are also pouring in from all over the country.
That's a myriad of people who came from all over the country.
Among them, there are Kyoto students and supervisors who have been mobilized from Kyoto day and night, and even scholars of various schools who have long been famous.
There are also students who heard the sage's sermon and rushed from various prefectures and cities in their own carriages and horses.
Some people are sole, and some are in groups.
No one wants to miss the opportunity to preach a saint, and whether or not they can learn something, even if they just participate in it, it is enough to remember the glory of a lifetime.
For the people of Tao County, sitting by the window of the teahouse and looking at the students from all over the country has become a very interesting thing:
"Could that be the Seventh Son of Mingzhou?"
"Dongliang Daru!"
"Nanjiang champion!"
"Even the little poet fairy of Kyoto is here?"
"That'...... Could it be the former prime minister who has gone into hiding? ”
Tao County is very small, but there is no shortage of knowledgeable people, with one after another, the "big man" who moved the country and the dynasty arrived, even the most calm people could not keep their composure.
Scholars in Tao County and the surrounding areas have already grabbed the position by taking advantage of the geographical advantages.
It must be known that the saint could not help but observe, and the emperor seemed to be happy to see this, although most of the good seats in the "front row" had already been allocated.
However, Nanshan is so big, even if you can't get tables and chairs, you can move a bench, a futon, or even sit on the ground.
In this strange and restless atmosphere, the time came to the third day.
It is also the day when Nanshan School opens.
……
The rising sun once again lit up the mountains.
Up and down the South Mountain, it is already crowded with people, and it is impermeable.
On the thousands of tables and chairs, there were already "students" who were old or young, or who held official positions, or who were well-known in the opposition.
Outside, there are dense crowds of people sitting on futons, unable to grab seats.
At the foot of the mountain, the flag of the Imperial Forest Army fluttered, majestic.
A gust of mountain wind blew, and the blank papers placed on those tables and chairs rolled up like snow waves.
The closest to the gate of the academy was occupied by the young emperor and the important officials of the court, and the atmosphere of this area was more solemn and solemn than that of others.
Everyone was seated.
Until the door of the academy was pushed open from the inside out, Lin Tuo slowly walked out of the courtyard, his eyes swept to the mountains and fields, thousands of students.
The mountain wind died down suddenly.
In the distance, the people who were talking in low voices fell silent for a moment, and the humble venue where tens of thousands of people gathered seemed to be heard by falling pins.
"Ahem." Lin Tuo looked at the dense human head, and incomprehensibly, pinched his thigh with his right hand behind his back, and stimulated it with pain to make himself as calm as possible.
At the same time, he also tried to use the vocal skills of the family martial arts to mobilize the ether to gather at the Adam's apple and amplify his voice as much as possible.
At the foot of the mountain, people who can't read the words can also hear what he dictated.
And then.
Under the gaze of countless eyes, Lin Tuo, dressed in a plain robe, slowly walked to the wall that was blackened by ink and dried.
This is the "blackboard" that he ordered people to prepare in advance.
"There are so many people here today, I hope to be sure to keep quiet, the first class does not accept questions, and there will be a question session after that, in addition, this class will be a long time, if you can't hold on, you can leave early."
In the eyes of tens of thousands of people, Lin Tuo's voice was calm, and he said this, which seemed a little strange to the ears of the people of Dachi.
After a pause, he heard Emperor Chi, who was wearing a Ming Huang dragon robe in the front row, carefully raise his hand and asked:
"I don't know what Master Lin is going to talk about today?"
Lin Tuo glanced at the well-behaved emperor and smiled slightly.
Immediately turned around, picked up a "chalk" made of lime, which was also prepared, and spelled out a "word" on the blackboard in Chi Guo's script one by one.
After writing, he turned around, faced tens of thousands of blank eyes, pointed to the two snow-white characters on the blackboard, and said with a smile on the sound trick:
"The first lesson, I'm going to talk about...... Science. ”
