Guozi Studies, Tai Studies, Four Disciplines, Law, Calligraphy, and Arithmetic.

All belong to the Guozijian and are called six schools.

During the Wude period, the Wenguan was placed in Menxia Province, and after His Majesty ascended the throne, it was changed to the Hongwen Museum, gathering more than 200,000 volumes, placing bachelors and professors and apprentices, and surveying the collection of books.

His Majesty set up a literature museum in the palace of the king of Qin, recruited talents to treat people from all over the world, and studied the classics, and did not abolish them after ascending the throne, and placed them in the same province.

This is the previous six schools and two halls, but since last year, His Majesty has promoted arithmetic to the arithmetic hall, promoted Li Chunfeng, Wang Xiaotong, Lu Zhi and others to fill the second arithmetic hall, and imitated the practice of the second hall by the current dynasty Zaifu concurrently served as a scholar, which can be regarded as a complete confirmation of the name of the "three halls".

Among the Guozijian, there is another engineering science, in which the doctoral assistants are all part-time by the Shaofu Supervisor and the Cheng Ling who will be the supervisor, which can be regarded as making up for the gap of the "six learnings".

These are really not news to the people of Chang'an, after all, this is the capital of the Tang Dynasty, at the feet of the Son of Heaven.

"I know the six schools and three halls, but I'm used to it, and it's a public income and a saint who is going to change my school again!"

"Good, good...... How to change it? ”

The man named Hu Laosan ate a bite of mutton soup with a shortbread, and then whispered with a mysterious face, but Ma Zhou not far away could hear it clearly through the noisy sound:

"I've heard of it...... The sage intends to build two more Taixue schools and recruit more students to them. ”

"How do you make more moves? Can the ministers agree? ”

"Hey, the sons and grandchildren of the prime ministers are all studying in the country, who will study with you? Isn't it a self-defiling lintel? ”

"This is also true, but there are only so many ministers of Chang'an who are above the fifth grade, and it is still ...... to learn too much."

For the people of Chang'an, the education of future generations has always been a problem, and they can neither directly send their children to official schools like officials, nor can they afford to go to private schools, which are quite expensive.

And now that the sage has opened the imperial examination, everyone knows that as long as you have the knowledge to take the imperial examination to high school, you can go straight to the streets of Chang'an, but you have to have a place to study.

Therefore, the news of Hu Laosan also attracted the discussion of the locals in the restaurant, even if their children do not reach the threshold of too much learning, but it is not important to look at the discussion.

According to the express provisions of the Guozijian, the students of the Guozi are the descendants of the third grade or above; Tai students, take the descendants of more than five grades, and the other four schools also have their own thresholds.

This is only the six schools, not to mention the "three halls" with higher specifications, especially the literature museum set up by His Majesty when he was the king of Qin.

Ma Zhou's helplessness to the people around him can also be regarded as empathy in a sense:

He was born in poverty, and he had no name to enter the official school or have the wealth to seek private education, and finally had to go to Lei Zegong as a guest to make a living.

It is also for this reason that Ma Zhou is grateful for today's life from the bottom of his heart.

If it weren't for His Majesty's promotion, he might still be drinking and drinking in the Razor Mansion now.

If it weren't for the imperial examination, how could he win the hope of the third famous family with ten years of hardship?

This is the reason why he is now willing to follow His Majesty's order to promote the reform of Taixue.

The restaurants were all in high spirits when they talked about the government school, but when they talked about the entrance threshold, they were depressed one by one.

Hu Laosan finished eating the mutton soup meatloaf, and finally wiped the residue of the Hu cake puff pastry at the bottom of the plate on the side of his mouth, and then said:

"But what if Your Majesty orders all the sons of good families to enter Taixue?"

"Really!?"

"No way!"

"How could it not be? In the past two years, the saint has first destroyed the Turks and then exterminated the miscellaneous beards, neither adding to the endowment but also merciful to our people......"

"Hey, what does this have to do with your errands in West Market?"

A simple sentence stirred up a thousand waves, obviously it was just gossip, but the restaurant had already automatically divided into two sides to attack and abuse each other because of this news.

Ma Zhou quietly observed on the side, until the people on both sides felt that the boredom had dissipated, and then he left with a lingering checkout.

The closer the Chinese New Year gets, Ma Zhou is getting busier and busier, even with the help of Zaisuke behind him, and His Majesty is still standing behind the two.

But it is a matter of Taixue, and now His Majesty's attention to the imperial examination is blind and visible, and Taixue is in a sense the first to get the moon near the water, and it is no wonder that opposition is endless.

However, no matter how busy he is, Ma Zhou will also find time to sit in the West Market, or try roasted mutton, or eat cakes and soup, or come over at noon to eat all kinds of snacks with a full stomach.

The people who linger in the West Market are all ordinary people, and in their casual conversations after tea and dinner, Ma Zhou feels that he can also look at the current dispute over the Taixue restructuring from a more perspective.

"What kind of rounding and fasting, I'm afraid it's just a reason for the official school to change money!"

"You haven't seen it yet, so how can you say that it's a move to make money?"

"Even if it's not, you and I can't afford to study official education, so I really think I have a lot of money?"

"If you don't say more, let's just say that what's the use of learning that arithmetic? It's enough to be able to count money, and no matter how much you read, it's not a waste of money? ”

"Then you can live if you can only speak and write, why do you still want to be literate?"

Ma Zhou turned a deaf ear, and just raised his hand to signal:

"Shopkeeper, another bowl of mutton soup!"

As the time entered the end of November, Ma Zhou, who had not been working in the imperial city, heard two more things.

The "field fertilizer cart" of Dunyifang was accidentally dumped, and a cart of "fertilizer water" was accidentally spilled in front of the house of the university scholar Xu Jingzong, and it was frozen before it could be cleaned up, and it is said that Xu Jingzong did not come to the court for three days.

There are rumors that this matter is related to Sun Wuji, the head of Qi State, but Xu Jingzong dismissed it as a rumor, saying that he had no entanglement with Qi Guogong, and it was rumored that this rumor was the act of a villain.

For the people of Chang'an, even if this matter is not suitable for gossip after dinner, after all, it is a bachelor and a relative of the emperor in the current dynasty, and it can only be regarded as convenient to spend tea time polishing out a rumored version of grievances and hatred to entertain people.

But soon another incident easily took away all the attention of the people of Chang'an:

Denglai has a maritime merchant into Kyoto, and the saint to offer treasure and wealth 30 cars of praise, after sweeping the east and west markets, loading 100 cars of wealth and goods to return to Denglai.

Originally, this was nothing, after all, Chang'an has no shortage of big businessmen.

But this Denglai maritime merchant did not shy away from telling others that he was originally a sinful person, but he went to sea at the behest of His Majesty, and accumulated wealth at the age of one, so he offered his wealth to repay the kindness of the saint.

This kind of experience made the whole of Kyoto unprecedentedly restless, and the streets and alleys of the restaurants and tea shops were all talking, after all, everyone is a common person, since this Terai maritime merchant can succeed, then he is not ......

Many people regretted it, after all, the opening of the sea order was theoretically the first place to post in Kyoto, but everyone was disdainful, and they didn't expect to be preempted by the Shandong people!

Many prodigals have made up their minds:

Instead of spending time in Chang'an, it is better to go to Nadenglai next year to go to sea, and maybe you can come back with tens of millions of family assets!

And that's the much-rumored East China Sea, and the family property that can be earned by the body of Denglai Maritime Merchants, so how can we not find the Xianzhou Penglai in the East China Sea!

This night, many Chang'an prodigals had a dream.

In the dream, they are brightly dressed, driving a huge ship to chop the wind and waves, playing with the treasures in the cabin, and the shadow of Xianzhou Penglai is faintly visible on the bow of the ship, but it is out of reach.

And at this time, on a huge ship in the East China Sea, Liu Renliang carefully turned the thousand-step mirror against his eyes and patiently searched.

In the dark night, a red flame like a bean was reflected in the thousand-step mirror, which lifted his spirit a little.

The cylinder mirror in his hand was not put down, Liu Renliang raised his left hand and pressed down the palm, and then judged it according to experience, and compared four fingers.

The adjutant next to him, who had been working together for more than half a year, understood the meaning of the direction and distance indicated in the gesture, and immediately began to convey Liu Renliang's order.

The giant ship silently adjusted its direction in the dark sea, and then went straight in the direction chosen by Liu Renliang.

Seeing that the light of the bean fire was gradually visible to the naked eye, and the dark outline of the island was gradually revealed, Liu Renliang breathed a sigh of relief, put away his thousand-step mirror with great importance, and carefully put it in the silk bag on his chest.

Looking down at the Japanese people standing beside him with envy in their eyes, Liu Renliang said casually:

"Inujo messenger, since you have arrived on the opposite island, then the island is also close at hand, and the day when you return home is near."

The dog Mita shovel learned Tang etiquette, crossed his hands and saluted:

"The general can come and go freely on the sea, which can be described as a god."

"And there is no way to return home, but I want to help the general succeed."

Liu Renliang didn't eat this, and his expression was indifferent:

"It is your duty to keep you."

Inugami Mita's expression became more and more respectful, but he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

He didn't dare to complain to the Tang General in front of him, after all, he had seen with his own eyes how this general could easily manipulate this huge ship to split the wind and crush the enemy ship along the way.

He just missed his identity as a Tang man a little bit.

The emperor of the Tang Dynasty was quite generous, and after reaching an agreement with the two envoys named Pei Shiqing and Du Ruhui, he moved into the mansion that night.

Every day he is amazed at the strength of the Tang Dynasty, and every day he is amazed at the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty.

Especially after spending money on a Turkic slave, such days are more relaxed.

In the face of Fanshang, he could also puff up his chest proudly, and contemptuously called a "barbarian", seeing that the other party dared to be angry and did not dare to speak.

In front of the soldiers who conquered Guhun and triumphed, he would also crowd on the straight street, shouting "Wan Sheng" with the people around him.

He was intoxicated with this life, until Pei Shiqing, the envoy who knew the Japanese language, came to the door again, saying that the general of the Tang Dynasty was ready, and it was time for him to fulfill the contract.

So, just as when he came, Inugami Mita Shovel left Chang'an step by step with the mission and set off to "go" to the Wa Kingdom.

Well, go.

After 30 years of empty consumption, I know that Chang'an is also my hometown.

Inugami Ota spade feels that he is getting closer to the kingdom in his heart - isn't this homesickness a clear proof?

Liu Renliang was too lazy to guess what the people around him were thinking.

There was still a little time to go ashore, so he simply went back to the cabin and began to peruse the map by the light.

"Regular, to the opposite island?"

As soon as Liu Renliang turned around, he saw the sleepy-eyed Li Shiyun wearing a robe and entering the cabin.

"Brother Mao Gong."

The two are both secretaries of the Manna Palace, and they are only five years apart.

Now that they are both in the sea division, under Li Shixian's intentional pandering, the relationship between the two has quickly become acquainted.

Because of the nautical charts in the cabin, the Japanese were strictly forbidden to enter.

There was no one else around, so Liu Renliang simply told the truth:

"Now that I am closer to the kingdom of Wa, the more uneasy I become......"

It's just that at the beginning of the words, Li Shiyun over there was full of surprise:

"When you are commanding the tooth boat, you are waiting for leisure, but at this time, you are looking ahead and backward?"

"It's different......" Liu Renliang still wanted to defend, but Li Shiyun directly squeezed him aside and pointed at the chart with his hand:

"You and I set out from Laiju in September, crossed the Bohai Sea to Baekje, traveled south to Jeju Island, and then sailed eastward, and now we are about to reach the opposite island."

"The hard work has come to this, how can there be any reason to give up?"

Liu Renliang nodded slowly, but still had some doubts:

"If this trip doesn't work out......"

A stunned look appeared on Li Shiyun's face: "Why not?" ”

"After all, there are many victories and losers, and it is a common thing for soldiers to ......"

Shaking his head, Li Shiyun said earnestly:

"Rightly, if you say that I am not as invincible as you are in naval warfare."

"But if it's a land war, you're far inferior to me."

After that, Li Shiyun didn't give Liu Renliang a chance to refute, and instead said:

"This Jeju Island and the island are good, but they are a good name."

On the map, Jeju Island is located south of Baekje and was originally named Joro in Bae's records.

The island where the giant ship was about to arrive was located south of Silla, and Pei Shiqing originally remembered its name as Dusima.

The names of these two islands were originally remembered by Pei Shiqing based on their sounds.

Liu Renliang disliked it and thought it was really uncomfortable, so he thought that Jinghai was for the sake of "helping the poor", and changed the names of the two islands on the table, for which Li Shimin expressed "kindness".

Seeing that Li Shiyun insisted, Liu Renliang didn't say anything anymore, nodded and said:

"In that case, we will rest for a day on the opposite island, and then we will set off again."

Li Shichang is full of confidence, but at the same time, he is still a little unconvinced.

The envoy reported his views in Chang'an, in which the ceremony of sacrificing prisoners was repeated several times, which made Li Shiyun quite yearning, after all, he was also there when he broke the Turks last time and captured Jieli.

But as a result, Li Jingjia Qinghai said, and the first battle to destroy Tuyuhun added another achievement.

He invited himself to learn from the sea master to Laizhou, and so far he has not succeeded in leading the ship.

But the situation of this Wa country is different, now the lord is weak and the minister is strong, it is a good opportunity to decide the first war, and this battle is still on land, which is what he was best at before.

Leaving Liu Renliang to continue pondering the map, Li Shixian, who had lost his sleepiness, got out of the cabin again.

The sky was already slightly white, and the island was more clearly visible in the distance, a strange but equally promising land.

Inugami Ota Shovel saw that the general in front of him seemed to be in a good mood, so he said carefully:

"General, after the island, it is the Wa Kingdom, and now that the Su I clan covers the sky with one hand, it is better to sail at night like this......"

Li Shiyun shook his head:

"If you want to be Tang Min, why are you afraid?"

"Going up and down, it is called the expedition, since the king of the Japanese is orthodox, then the Su I clan is a chaotic minister and thief."

"Be the leader of the Tang Dynasty warriors, knock on the main door to recruit the widows, destroy the thieves, and eliminate the traitors."
