Similar to the debate frenzy set off by the Hundred Schools of Thought Palace because of the Hundred Schools, the Hundred Schools of Sons in the Song Dynasty also began to prepare because the second session was approaching.

Liangzhejiang Road, Jiangxi Road, Fujian Road, Jiangnan Road, and the scholars and scholars from all over the Great Song Dynasty compiled their previous works into volumes, and prepared manuscripts for debate according to the topic of this time.

Just when this trend became more and more intense, a piece of news spread throughout the entire Great Song Dynasty like an earth-shattering shock.

Zhu Zi, the president of Yuelu Academy, announced in public that Yuelu Academy, Bailudong Academy, and Suiyang Academy will jointly hold a debate on the theme of "Confucianism", and invite people from all over the world to participate.

"Confucianism?"

In the living room on the third floor of the doctoral building, Yao Ruoyu, Xu Xuanrong, Tang Daoyuan, and Bai Junru sat on one side of the square table.

After listening to the news that Tang Daoyuan had just learned, Yao Ruoyu smiled and said: "What a 'Confucianism', it seems that this three-family game is Zhu Zi who benefited from it and got the right to host this time!"

Bai Junru did not have the relaxed mood of Yao Ruoyu, and said in a deep voice: "Zhu Zi, as one of the four representatives of Confucianism in contemporary times, his science is famous all over the world, and there are countless supporters.

Tang Daoyuan's face sank like water, and he said solemnly: "Weichen still has some friends in the Song Dynasty, you can invite them to ......"

"No need," shaking his head, Yao Ruoyu smiled a little confidently, "Confucianism, I really don't know if Zhu Zi is a brain-dead or a fool, such a topic has already limited the identity of the participants, if I were a Legalist scholar, would I participate in the debate that clearly discusses Confucianism, or can I come here to allow hundreds of schools of thought to participate?"

Tang Daoyuan and Bai Junru were both stunned when they heard this, and after thinking about it, they both showed a sudden smile.

"Maybe it's because of his identity," Xu Xuanrong stuck a piece of cut pulp with a bamboo skewer and said with a smile, "After all, it's a Confucian family, and they are arrogant and arrogant, thinking that everyone in the world will follow them." ”

Tang Daoyuan was silent, his status in Confucianism was second only to Zhu Zi, if Zhu Zi was arrogant, how could this old man be.

"So just ignore them and continue to do our job," Yao Ruoyu looked at Bai Junru and said with a smile, "These days, the students in the school palace have a strong debate atmosphere, which is very good, but after all, it is not counted on paper, after a while, some students with excellent grades can be selected and assigned to various places for internships." ”

"Internship?" Bai Junru had never heard of this word, and asked with a surprised expression.

"It's work!" Yao Ruoyu smiled, "Serving as a small official in the yamen in various places can be regarded as the unity of knowledge and action, what does Lord Tang think?"

"It's a great move. Tang Daoyuan said with a smile.

Bai Junru thought about it for a while, and also understood the meaning of the internship, and immediately smiled: "The old minister is a scholar of the palace, and I have thanked the prince." ”

"Now that the topic of this debate has been decided, the next thing is mainly to list the list of participating schools, which have the experience of the previous session, and this time it will be much simpler. ”

Then Yao Ruoyu looked at Tang Daoyuan and said with a smile: "But the work here has been done, and the propaganda work cannot be relaxed, you can communicate more with Minister Song, and arrange for the Senate Mansion and the Qincha Mansion to spread the news of this grand meeting." ”

Different from the Song, Yuan, and Man, Yao Ruoyu and others from later generations paid great attention to the word "propaganda" in governance.

In the early years, the Dawen Daily, founded by Xu Xuanrong, updated national events daily, and not only the high-level officials of Wenbang would read it every day, but also some high-ranking officials of neighboring countries would also read one or two.

Therefore, compared with the Song Dynasty, which relied on Confucianism to educate the people to be loyal to the country, the Dawen city-state relied more on a sense of identity to gain the loyalty of the people.

Since the rise of the invincible record, the construction of schools to educate the people, the construction of cities to pay attention to the people's livelihood, this kind of things through the propaganda of Dawen Daily, subtly made the people's sense of identity with the Dawen city-state continue to increase.

After handling all kinds of things one by one, Bai Junru and Tang Daoyuan said goodbye and left, leaving only Yao Ruoyu and Xu Xuanrong.

After being quiet for a moment, Xu Xuanrong suddenly smiled and said, "Then the goal this time is to set Zhu Zi, right?"

"Yes," Yao Ruoyu rubbed his thumb and middle finger gently, and the corners of his lips overflowed with a cold and piercing sneer, "I was still thinking about which Confucian, but since he came out on his own, then I'm sorry for this Confucian!"

Xu Xuanrong smiled lightly.

Yao Ruoyu is a person who holds grudges, or rather, there is no one among the more than 20 people in the Ministry of Literature and Art who does not hold grudges, they are not humble gentlemen who repay grievances with virtue in this era, and it is their consistent style to retaliate with a tooth for a tooth.

At that time, Confucianism helped the king of Shu to plot to seize the Sichuan Shu that everyone had just conquered, although relying on the hundred pulpits, Yao Ruoyu successfully got the help of Wang Anshi and others, and dismantled the plans of Confucianism, Shu King and others, but it does not mean that they did not keep this matter in mind.

Before, because of the weakness of Wenbang, Yao Ruoyu and the others did not dare to openly confront Confucianism, but now that they have Sichuan and Chongqing, they have a combat power close to the level of six and seven realms, so it is naturally time to take revenge.

Taking a sip of herbal tea, Yao Ruoyu smiled and said, "This matter will be handed over to Kai Kai to complete, you still have to bother with the hundred pulpits here." ”

"With Minister Tang and Bai Saijiu here, what kind of mess can be born?" gave him a blank look, and Xu Xuanrong smiled.

"I'm afraid that the Confucian sect will tear up their faces and harden it, it's not that they haven't done it back then, grandma is a bear, Lao Tzu remembers it," Yao Ruoyu pouted, "Sect Master Xi and the Five Spirits Fanyi Sword Formation will make a special trip over, plus you and Wang Liangchen, the four seven realms are enough to calm the field." ”

Xu Xuanrong snorted, saw Yao Ruoyu touch his chin, and said with a smile: "What's the matter, what don't you dare to say?"

Seeing through her thoughts, Yao Ruoyu smiled, clenched her fists to her lips and coughed, and said, "This, I may have to go out for a while." ”

"Oh, how long?" asked Xu Xuanrong.

"I don't know, I'm going to travel around China, maybe I'll go to all over the place. Yao Ruoyu replied.

Xu Xuanrong first hummed, then seemed to think of something, frowned slightly, turned his head to look at him, saw him smiling, and suddenly said, "You want to ......"

Yao Ruo smiled foolishly: "Almost, the theory is almost deduced, but I don't know what will happen when I put it into practice." ”

"Okay, anyway, the overall situation here has been decided, no matter how Confucianism is, it can't turn the storm up, if your theory can be realized......" Xu Xuanrong's lips overflowed with a slight chuckle, "If you turn against Confucianism in the future, you will have a killer weapon to deal with them." ”

"I hope there won't be that day!" Yao Ruoyu sighed lightly.

"Who can say for sure? Xu Xuanrong said with a smile.

*——*——*——*

Sizhou is located in the southeast of Chongqing Road, bordering Jinghu North Road and Qiangui.

The Miao and Tujia people who have lived here for generations have fierce temperaments, are extremely xenophobic, and do not interact with the outside world at all.

In the early years, when this place was still under the rule of the Great Song Dynasty, Xu Jingmiao didn't have much time to manage them because she had to deal with the Jin State and the Nanban, so the officials who arranged here were also very wise and never interfered in local affairs, but only stayed up to a certain level of seniority to transfer or be promoted, which can be regarded as well water and not river water.

Of course, I think that I can do well water without river water, but I can't stand that group of Miao people and I don't have this plan.

In the early days, there were often Miao people who went to the villages and towns near the mountains to commit crimes, either to grab things, or to pull out knives and cut people if they disagreed, and when the government was about to arrest them, they would pat their butts and run back to the mountains, and the local officials did not dare to offend these local tyrants, so they could only pinch their noses and pretend not to know.

However, after Wenbang occupied Chongqing Fu Road, Xu Jingmiao finally had the energy to deal with these people.

First of all, Qu Feng, the original governor of Fuzhou, was transferred here to serve as the state pastor, and he was equipped with a thousand veterans of a hundred battles who had participated in the battle of Jin, and at the same time, Yao Ruoyu also specially transferred Gongsun Zhan, Yue Jun, and Li Shuyi to serve as Qu Feng's guards, so as not to accidentally assassinate this powerless official.

When Qu Feng was still serving as the governor of Fuzhou, he was known for his image of an iron-fisted governor, and since he took office, the big and small bandits and robbers in Fuzhou have been swept away, and it is no exaggeration to say that the security in Fuzhou was even several times better than that of Chongqing.

Qu Feng did not live up to Xu Jingmiao's high expectations, only half a year after taking office, he had already won over seven or eight tribes, and then caught a Miao person entering the city to rob the city, led the officers and soldiers into the mountains, and took the Miao people out of the tribe alive.

At that time, there was still a lot of trouble in this matter, and the Miao tribes, which had always been united, gathered a large number of people and killed them in a mighty way.

As a result, when they arrived at that village and town, what was waiting for them was more than 1,000 elites under Qu Feng's command, led by Gongsun Zhan, Yue Jun, and Li Shuyi.

Gongsun Zhan and Yue Jun have already stepped into the Six Realms, Li Shuyi's qualifications are slightly worse, but he is also a martial artist at the level of the Five Realms generals, Qu Feng relies on his own way of being an official, and also with the help of the power of the Dawen Kingdom, he can become a powerhouse at the level of the Five Realms, with the four of them in charge, and there are thousands of elites who are the weakest of the three realms, and they directly killed the group of Miao people.

Since then, the Hmong people have run rampant in the local area. Of course, Qu Feng did not suppress the Miao people on this, but referred to the principle of equality of the Dawen and all ethnic groups, and still treated the Han and Miao ethnic groups equally.

By now, Qu Feng had basically taken Sizhou under his control, and more than ninety percent of the tribes had surrendered and signed an agreement with him, promising to join the Dawen city-state and obey its orders.

Because of this, Qu Feng estimated that in a few years at most, he would be able to be transferred to the Sixth Ministry, and his position at that time would be at least at the level of deputy minister, which can be called a bright future.

These things were learned by Yao Ruoyu from the shadows of the Qincha Mansion along the way before he was about to enter the Sizhou territory.

After discussing with Xu Xuanrong that day, he left Yuzhou alone that night and traveled along the river in a flat boat. He doesn't deliberately control the direction, but just moves along with the river at will.

It has been three or four days since he entered Sizhou, visiting the local scenic spots, and quietly sneaking into the mountains to inspect the tribes. Today was his last day here, and after lunch, he would go to the pier to take a boat to the next stop.

The local fat intestine rice noodles in Sizhou are extremely famous, but the spicy is really spicy, Rao is Yao Ruoyu has already told the store in advance to be light, the rice noodles are still surprisingly spicy, even if Yao Ruoyu is a strong man at the princely level of the Seven Realms, it is also so spicy that it is spicy.

Finally cleaned up the whole bowl of rice noodles, Yao Ruoyu wiped his mouth, and then his expression was a little distorted, and he exhaled a spicy hot breath, and sighed: "Spicy and spicy is terrible." ”
