Chapter 678: The Days of Northern Xinjiang
In the northern part of Dayong, the grassland is vast, the land is vast and sparsely populated, and there is no rice and flour that can be grown, and there is no formed pillar industry, so it has never been valued by the imperial court.
Throughout history, many civil uprisings have occurred from here.
As soon as a natural disaster occurred and their cattle and sheep were left to eat, they would rebel and then invade the Central Plains, bringing decades or even centuries of war.
From the beginning when Song Qing wanted to develop the education industry when he was a child, Northern Xinjiang has always been within the focus of education in his planning.
He felt that since he had come here, he should at least ensure that he had peace in Dayong during his life.
Peace is the only way to make money, and peace is the only way for him and his family to live and work in peace and contentment.
If there is a war...... He could make money, but at that time it was disaster money, and he didn't want that kind of money that didn't work out.
When he first arrived in northern Xinjiang, he ran into a lot of walls.
The children there are accustomed to being free by nature, and they are stubborn and untamable.
Adults there, savage xenophobia.
After he got there, he first contacted the local parents and asked if he could come and spend money to set up a college, and the government would come forward to let the children go to school?
The parent official told him, "There is no one here who obeys the government. ”
The people there are all self-made by the tribe and only listen to their own tribal leaders.
And the officials sent by the imperial court tried their best to embezzle the food and salary given by the imperial court, and never cared about anything.
How comfortable and comfortable that little day is.
Song Qing also wrote to Yin Zhaolin to report on this matter at that time, but did not receive a response.
Later, I thought about it, I should have been stopped by the Wang family, which was still powerful at the time.
Song Qing still did not give up on running a school, he tried his best to convince the leader of one of the largest tribes.
The leader's name is An Musa, he has a long-term vision and knows that children need to be disciplined, so every day according to the children in the tribe let them learn from him, and whoever doesn't learn will be beaten severely.
He is also very ambitious, although he allows his children to learn, but what he learns is definitely not the Confucian culture of the Central Plains, but all the offensive and predatory culture of their tribe.
He had a clear goal, which was to train these children to be warriors, ready to plunder everywhere in the future when supplies were scarce.
Song Qing went to An Musa to discuss, saying that he wanted to build a academy here, and he would contribute money and efforts, and only he could let the children go to school.
Of course An Musa disagreed, let a weak scholar from the Central Plains teach their children, then when their children grow up, won't they all be so weak and weak?
In order to convince him, Song Qing tried to compete with him, and wanted to have a duel with him, simulating a war, and whoever won would listen to whomever he would.
There are only ten people around Song Qing, most of them are teachers, Wenwen is weak, and there are one or two who can fight, but it is only to the extent of protecting himself.
And An Musa's side is full of brave and good soldiers.
He felt that Song Qing's request was insulting him, so he agreed, planning to teach these scholars who didn't know the height of the sky a good lesson.
An Musa also sent ten people to confront Song Qing and others.
An Musa also instructed them, and after catching people, they were crippled and beaten, leaving a life for them to suffer in the future.
At the beginning of the competition, Song Qing and the others introduced An Musa's men into an extremely rare forest.
Because most of the northern Xinjiang is desert and grassland, the woods are difficult to find, and there are no materials in them.
In this place, Song Qing and the others had already explored the route for half a month in advance, but An Musa's people were completely unfamiliar with it, and Song Qing had the first advantage.
Then, Anmusa's men were caught in a storm and trapped in the woods for the night.
The next day, exhausted, they searched for Song Qing and them in the woods.
They finally found someone and immediately went in pursuit.
But they were brought into some thorn bushes by Song Qing and them.
An Musa's people were stabbed by thorns, and it didn't take long for them to feel itchy and unbearable, and they all collapsed.
At this time, Song Qing and the others came out from not far away, tied them up one by one and sent them back to An Musa's hands.
An Musa saw that his people were injured like this, and Song Qing's people were unscathed, angry and incomprehensible.
At this time, his people shouted: "It's all their luck!" It's not that we are not as strong as them! ”
Song Qing was not in a hurry to explain anything, and quietly watched these people make a fuss.
When they quieted down, they told An Musa that everything was not a strategy, but knowledge.
They agreed to compete near the forest because they didn't understand the climate change of the forest.
Song Qing sent people to find out the climate near the forest in advance.
An Musa's people shouted again: "What does it look like to the climate?" Who doesn't look at the climate? ”
Song Qing politely waited for them to finish before continuing to explain.
For example, when you see dark clouds, you know that it is going to rain, and when you see the moon halo, you know that it is going to be windy, and this kind of simple thing can no one can fool them.
But looking at the climate is a very deep knowledge, there are a lot of exquisite, snakes, insects, rats, ants, flowers and trees, their changes are much more sensitive than the changes of the human body, these are to have enough knowledge to see.
For example, this rainstorm, didn't they see it?
After looking at the weather, they set the time for the competition on the eve of the rainstorm, and deliberately led them in to make them exhausted from the rain.
The next day, he deliberately led them to the thorny bushes.
The thorn is also very rare, it looks like a normal thorn, but it can secrete a paralyzing toxin.
Those of them who had lived in the grassland for a long time could not tell the difference, but some of Song Qing's men specialized in herbs and could be identified at a glance.
It is useless to say that reading is useless, and knowledge is useless, but now you can see?
An Musa's subordinates who said it were speechless.
Do they still want to go to the Central Plains?
The Central Plains is vast and rich, and talented people are everywhere.
Being able to read the weather and recognize herbs is considered pediatric.
At that time, it is estimated that they will be wiped out before they can fight.
After a long silence, An Musa suddenly burst out laughing, and immediately gave Song Qing a big gift to receive the guests, telling everyone in his tribe that Song Qing would be their guests here in the future.
Later, a school building was built, a college was established, and children were allowed to attend classes...... Everything went very smoothly.
Not only the children of that tribe came over, but even An Musa went to listen every day.
Song Qing and his gentlemen taught them astronomy, mathematics, poetry, calligraphy, etiquette, and how to better raise livestock and deal with various natural disasters.
Everything is going in a good direction.
Some older people have better understanding and concentration than children, learn things quickly, and when they learn, they go to other tribes to teach others.
Of course, there are also things that don't go well...... Some children are accustomed to being free and loose, and suddenly let them learn these things, and they are very rebellious, and often play tricks on gentlemen.
An Musa scolded them, but made them rebel even more, and many gentlemen were annoyed by them.
At the same time, greater danger is approaching......
