Chang Feng and others went out of the capital and first joined up with two hundred regimental soldiers.

According to the rules, a small person who went out of Beijing from Liupin to 100 households did not have the right to lead the regiment and battalion soldiers to protect along the way.

Huai En thought of an ingenious method: I sent Liu Jin to the Confucian Temple to deliver sacrificial things, all of which are valuable, wouldn't it be very reasonable to send regimental battalions to escort them?

In fact, Huai'en sent these two hundred regiments of soldiers to prevent the concubine party from changing his mind, and intercepted and killed Chang Feng halfway to vent his anger.

Everyone boarded the official ship in Tongzhou, went south along the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal, and spent 12 days to reach Dezhou.

The journey was uneventful. The group disembarked in Dezhou, changed horses and headed for the southeast Qufu.

Since entering the territory of Tai'an, Chang Feng has discovered a phenomenon. Every three or five miles, a sign is erected in the field by the roadside, and the word "Kongtian" is written on it.

This has been the case for dozens of miles south.

Chang Feng, who was riding on the horse, was a little strange: "Kong Tian, I know, it is the land of the Yansheng Prince's family. But let's come all the way, is it possible that half of Tai'an's fields along the way are all from the Kong family? ”

Liu Jin explained to Chang Feng the terrifying scale of Kong's farmland.

The properties of the Confucian family are divided into three categories: the "sacrificial fields" and "learning fields" allocated by the dynasties.

The land owned by the Confucian family (obtained by mergers of successive dynasties).

The dowry "fat powder field" brought by the Duchess of Yansheng in the past dynasties.

Among them, the sacrificial fields and school fields do not need to pay a penny of taxes.

During the time of Song Zhezong, he gave the Holy Prince's Mansion a hundred great tilts; The emperor of the Jin Dynasty gave 200 large tilts to the sacrificial fields; Yuan Chengzong gave fifty great tilts; Ming Taizu gave two thousand tilts.

Ming Chengzu, Ming Xuanzong and other emperors successively gave 600 sacrifices.

In this dynasty, the Kong family sacrificed the field alone, and the total scale reached 2,600 great tilts.

One big is three inclinations, and one hundred acres are poured.

In other words, the Confucian family's sacrificial fields reached a staggering 780,000 mu.

Coupled with the study field, self-purchased field, and fat powder field, the fields owned by the Kong family in Tai'an are as large as one million acres.

In Tai'an, more than half of the land belongs to the Kong family.

Chang Feng was dumbfounded when he heard this: "The land owned by the Kong family is as good as the vassal king." ”

Liu Jin smiled: "Yes." This dynasty treats the Kong family favorably. The degree of application and reliance of the Holy Father of Yan is also according to the example of the vassal king. It's just that there are no protectors. ”

Xu Fatzi complained on the side: "It's good to reduce the table of world cultivation!" Sixty generations of great wealth have been preserved. ”

Liu Jin's face changed: "Lord Shizi, when you get to Qufu, don't say the words 'Shixiu Descending Table', it's a big taboo!" ”

"When the scholars who went to worship the hole heard these four words, they must not eat you alive?"

Xu Fatzi nodded: "I know, I know." I'll just talk to you two privately. ”

Liu Jin said again: "The Kong family is in our Ming Dynasty, but in fact, their status is higher than that of the vassal king!" ”

"Even if he is a civil official, he is also a disciple of Confucius. When you arrive at Qufu City, you have to dismount. When you enter the Temple of Confucius, you have to kowtow. When I saw the Holy Father, I wanted to make a move. ”

"The vassal kings of the Ming Dynasty often had their lords removed because of crimes. The title of the Kong family can be hereditary for tens of thousands of years. ”

The crowd moved on. Along the way, I met many scholars who went to the Confucian Temple to participate in the sacrificial ceremony.

Suddenly, he saw a young man of fifteen or sixteen years old, dressed in a robe and wearing a square scarf, lying on the side of the road.

The cloth shoes on his feet were worn out, revealing their toes.

Chang Feng hurriedly dismounted and asked the young man: "Housheng, what's wrong with you?" ”

The young man replied with a faint breath: "I was born late and was seriously ill. ”

Chang Feng asked, "Huh? What is a serious illness? Can't be cured? ”

The young man replied: "This disease is a good doctor, and the name is 'hunger'." The doctor only needs a few wheat cakes and a platinum of water. ”

Chang Feng was amused by the young man. He hurriedly instructed Xu Fatzi: "Take a string of pot helmets, and then take a water bladder." ”

As the saying goes, a boy of fifteen or sixteen eats Lao Tzu to death. The young man had an excellent appetite.

The dry food brought by the battalion soldiers of the Daming Regiment was pot helmets.

It is a round cake made of wheat flour and salt, which can be threaded with a rope. When eating, it is roasted on the fire, and it is crispy, crispy and fragrant.

Eat and drink some water, and you will feel full. The Ming Dynasty version of the compressed biscuit belongs to yes.

The young man "clicked" and gnawed six pot helmets in a row.

Three pounds!

A big-bellied man like Xu Fatzi eats three in one meal.

Such a good amount of food made Chang Feng and others dumbfounded.

After eating the pot helmet, the young man drank half a bag of water, and the "serious illness" was immediately cured.

The young man respectfully gave Chang Feng: "Lord Xie gave a helping hand in the late life." ”

Chang Feng thought that this was a poor scholar who went to the Confucian Temple to participate in the sacrifice. He took out a few small pieces of broken silver, about seven or eight cents, from the leather that hung from his saddle.

"In the next life, there are still more than 150 miles to reach Qufu. Take it and wrap it in a platter. ”

The young man hurriedly said, "Thank you, sir." There is money in the late life. ”

Xu Fatzi said on the side: "Don't be poor and sour and polite. Do you have the money to starve on the side of the road? ”

The young man took out two silver bills in the shape of ten taels directly from his backpack, and the silver bills were white with golden dots.

"Well, it's not?"

Chang Feng frowned: "Later life, this is the gold and silver that the emperor rewarded officials and nobles." Where did you get that? Didn't you steal it? ”

The young man said: "This is given by the emperor to my father!" ”

Chang Feng was even more strange: "What's your name?" Lingzun is? ”

The young man reported to his home: "Late Wang Shouren." ”

"The word Bo'an."

"No. Yangming."

"My father is the Hanlin Academy, Wang Hua."

Chang Feng was a little strange: "Wang Hua, why does this name sound familiar?" ”

Liu Jin reminded on the side: "Wang Hua, the first place in the first-class palace examination in the seventeenth year of Chenghua, the champion and the first!" ”

Chang Feng patted his brain: "I remembered!" I was only fifteen years old. My father told me all day long that he should study hard, and in the future, like Wang Hua, the champion Lang, Qionglin Yan will sit in the chief. ”

Turning his head, Chang Feng said to Wang Shouren again: "You are actually the son of the champion prince, disrespectful and disrespectful." ”

"But how did the son of the champion fall to the side of the road with starvation?"

Wang Shouren said: "I was born in the capital in my later years and walked all the way to Qufu to sacrifice Kong. The dry food I bought at the inn yesterday was distributed to a few poor people halfway. ”

"There is no village in front of here, and there is no store in the back. I heard that it will take another twenty miles to walk before there is a place to eat. After two hours of hunger, he fell from hunger. ”

Chang Feng was shocked: "Walking? More than a thousand miles from the capital to here, you came here? ”

Wang Shouren nodded: "Only by walking to sacrifice holes can we sharpen the will to do scholarship in the future." ”

Xu Fatzi said: "No wonder your shoes are showing your big toes." Feelings are frayed, oh no, sharpened. ”

Wang Shouren said: "I'm ashamed, I'm ashamed, I'm insulting to Sven in my later life." It's been more than three months since I walked this way, and four pairs of shoes alone have worn out. ”

Chang Feng smiled: "I originally planned to let you get into the carriage behind us, and you will have a ride." ”

"I'm afraid that I will spoil your sincerity in sacrificing holes. In this way, this string of pot helmets, you can hold a bag of water. ”

Chang Feng left the pot helmet and water bladder to Wang Shouren, he mounted his horse, and the group continued on their way.

In his opinion, the young man just now was just a nerd with a missing brain.

That's right, Wang Shouren at this time is indeed a nerd who learns the "Four Books" and respects Cheng Zhu Lixue.

How could Chang Feng have thought of it. In the future, this person not only changed the history of the Ming Dynasty, but also changed the entire history of Chinese thought.

Even the enemy of China, the Japanese chief Togo Heihachiro, carried a waist card all his life, with the book "Bow your head and worship Yangming all your life".
