The news that Yang Cheng had asked the Li Dynasty to send troops to Lefu Island soon reached Kaesong.

Changdeokgung Palace, Injeongjeongjeon.

The early dynasty was about to begin, and some of the ministers had just arrived and were walking around the temple; Some came early, already standing in their positions, their faces restless.

People muttered and talked in private.

"The king of Zhou has to make an inch, and he actually wants us to send troops to arrest a small tribal chief."

"It is said that when he arrived in Hunchun, there were thousands of elite soldiers under his command. I didn't do it myself, but let us send troops to arrest him, which was obviously another attempt. ”

"What do you mean by that?"

"What's the point, he did it on purpose, so that he could show his authority in front of the Jurchen chieftains."

"Humph! I have long said that I should not sign a treaty, let alone go to Shenyang. ”

In the main hall, the relatively high position is the position where the important ministers of the court stand.

Jin Zidian is mixed in it, and the position is neither high nor low.

He glanced at everyone present, and sneered in his heart. The heart said, a bunch of fools who can only play tricks, if the Liaodong Army is really coming, they will definitely be the first to run.

Kim Jin, on the other hand, closed her eyes and seemed to be sleeping, but she was actually thinking about something.

This incident once again put him in a dilemma.

As soon as Li Liang walked into the main hall, he saw everyone in a mess, and his face sank.

Seeing this, the accompanying eunuch raised his voice to the maximum: "Open the dynasty!" ”

The scene suddenly fell silent,

The ministers knelt down in unison, and the mountain shouted long live.

Li Liang sat down in front of his throne, he looked at the crowd with a dignified look, and said:

"The ministers already know that the king of Zhou sent someone to inform the Huining Mansion and asked our country to send troops to Lefu Island to pursue a small tribal chief named 'Gahachan'. Before this person disappeared, he took advantage of the night to attack the king of Zhou, and fled after failure. ”

Lin Qingye stood up and played: "Your Majesty, the minister has a plan to play. The minister thought that this matter must not be agreed, our country is a subject country of the Ming Dynasty, not a subject country of the king of Zhou, and there is no obligation to send troops to encircle and suppress the tribal chiefs.

Even if it is to send troops, the reason should be to assist, not to send troops alone. ”

"Your Majesty, the minister does not agree with Lin Qingye's performance."

Cui Mingji came out and said: "The king of Zhou arrived in Hunchun thousands of miles to inspect, which shows that he attaches great importance to the border. If you refute his face at this time, I am afraid that I will suffer a catastrophe. ”

"Master Cui, why are you timid, you don't have the bearing and conversation that you should have as a human minister."

Lin Qingye stared at him and said angrily: "Last time, this time, don't you have a little bit of a man's blood?" ”

"Bloodshed, ask whose blood it is!"

Cui Mingji retorted: "Don't mention firearms such as birds, only talk about sulfur and saltpeter, if it is cut off from the sea by King Zhou and loses the annual transportation volume of 3,000 catties of the Ming Dynasty, what will I do to defend against the enemy?"

Speaking of this matter, Lord Lin should know better than me that when King Zhou was still the chief soldier of Jinzhou Town, he took advantage of Li Shi's rebellion to embezzle the share of 3,000 catties every year, and it was not until the signing of this treaty that he no longer embezzled it.

China's sulfur and saltpeter stocks are very small, and armor is extremely scarce. Do you want to be a meritorious step for King Zhou's subordinates, or do you want to sacrifice the army and the people to fulfill your name? ”

"You ......" Lin Qingye was so blocked that he couldn't speak.

Li Liang was also very unhappy in his heart, which king had his grievances.

was so pressed by a Ming Dynasty prince that he couldn't raise his head.

He glanced at Jin Jin, wanting to hear his opinion.

Jin Jin came out and said: "Your Majesty, there is a saying that 'people are doing it, and the sky is watching', and the king should not be angry about this trivial matter, just send a team of soldiers and horses to exterminate the little chief."

In fact, it is also a good thing that King Zhou arrived in Hunchun, which can increase trade between the two countries. The king could send an envoy to discuss further trade between the two sides.

With the favor of sending troops, King Zhou will not fail to make concessions, which can also benefit the people on the border. ”

Even Jin Jin, who is old and serious, said this, and Li Liang couldn't say anything more.

He thought for a moment and asked, "Who wants to be a messenger?" ”

Jin Zidian originally wanted to be listed, but when he remembered Yang Chengying's words, he held back again.

In front of him, there are a group of "old guys", including Jin Jin, and he must be cautious.

Jin Jin aimed at him and recommended to Li Liang: "Your Highness, Jin Zidian is just right." He had met the king of Zhou as a deputy envoy and got along well with him. ”

At this time, I didn't forget to poke and poke Jin Zidian.

Jin Zidian heard this, and he was not in a hurry, anyway, it was not Jin Jin who decided his fate, but the current king.

He said: "It is an honor to share the worries of His Highness." The minister heard that the king of Zhou was from Shenyang, and the food and clothing must not be good, so the minister asked His Majesty to allocate some food, clothing, etc., to the king of Zhou. ”

Didn't you imply that I was colluding with Yang Chengying? I made it clear that I would give supplies and that I could not go empty-handed.

In this way, in Li Liang's view, Jin Zidian belongs to the country wholeheartedly, and Jin Jin seems to be a little small-bellied.

Sure enough, Li Qi said: "This is what should be done, you will bring 30 cattle and sheep, 1,000 stones of rice, 1,000 pieces of clean clothes, and 500 catties of firewood to see King Zhou." ”

"The Lord's Order is grateful." Kim knelt down.

Li Liang also made Jin Jin's son Jin Qingzheng a general, led 1,000 soldiers and 300 sailors, and went to Lefu Island to capture Gahachan.

Jin Zidian took these supplies, as well as the salt, pepper and other things he bought privately, and went to Hunchun in a mighty way.

On the streets of Hunchun County, Yang Chengying was inspecting the schools in Hunchun County.

This school follows the Kannai Confucian tradition, and the temple and the school are combined into one.

The masters who teach here are all soldiers trained by Zukaffa and Bahana, and after being discharged from the army, they came here to run a school together with Kubai and others.

Due to the school's grass-roots construction, primary and secondary schools are all in one place.

However, there are not many students at the school.

Most of them were the families of the soldiers brought by Kubai and Tambu, and the older children were digging ginseng in the mountains to make money.

When Yang Chengying came over, Master Shuonuo was teaching the children to review their homework in the morning, when he heard a big movement outside, it was estimated that a big man was coming, and hurriedly ran out to greet him.

Seeing that it was the king who was coming, he hurriedly greeted the children: "Come on, the king is here!" ”

"Don't come out." Yang Chengying heard it from afar, so he said loudly: "During class time, no one is allowed to come out." ”

Shuo Nuo hurriedly let the children go back.

There was a child who arrived first, and out of curiosity, he poked out his head to see what was going on, but he was also pushed back by Shuo Nuo.

He saw that the children had returned to class, so he ran to the king's car: "The late Hunchun County School Master Shuonuo, meet His Royal Highness the King, Your Highness Wanfu Jin'an." ”

Hearing Shuonuo claim to be a late student, Yang Chengying laughed.

After getting off the horse, Yang Chengying asked, "How many children do you have here?" ”

"Back to the king, one hundred and thirty-three students. Among them, there are 83 middle school students and 50 primary school students. Shuo Nuo replied.

The "middle school students" and "elementary school students" here are not divided according to school age, but according to actual age.

In accordance with the provisions of the "Da Zhou Xuelu School Charter", children over the age of six are admitted to school, and the primary education (primary school) is five years, the secondary education (primary school) is three years, the senior secondary education (high school) is two years, and the higher education (university hall) is four years.

In areas with better development, children have school registration, and they are counted according to school age, and enter the corresponding level of school.

Like Hunchun County, which has just developed, it can only be calculated according to age, and the right is to eradicate illiteracy.
