Chapter 11 Reputation and Virtue
Zhang Yu stood in the middle of the lobby, his sleeves naturally dropped on both sides, and his demeanor was impeccable. He said very calmly: "Before the students can talk about the policy, they need a map of the territory of the Metropolitan Protectorate. ”
Liu Guang smiled: "It's easy. ”
He gave the order, and the assistant walked out, and after a while, he heard the sound of chains, and then a glass roof appeared above, and with the light and shadow, a map appeared on the floor of the lobby.
Zhang Yu took the teaching rod handed over by the assistant servant, and said somewhere in the upper reaches of the Dan River: "This is the pass of the Honghe River, and since the First World War sixty years ago, there have been 60,000 troops stationed here all year round to guard against the warlike indigenous tribes and gods hidden in the shadows in the depths of the land. ”
He took a few more steps to the side, and the pole followed the path of the Dan River for some distance, and finally clicked on a large blank space somewhere.
"This is the open plain, a great plain that stretches as far as the eye can see, and the gentle part of the Ansan Mountains to the east, where the valleys are vertical and horizontal, the terrain is fragmented, and it is deserted, but because the Tugofu has changed the climate, some places there have gradually become suitable for grazing and farming, so for the past 60 years, the indigenous tribes of the eastern Anshan Mountains have migrated here under the pretext of worshipping the ancestral gods. ”
When Zhu Anshi heard this, he guessed in his heart that his advice should be related to these natives.
Zhang Yu continued: "Because the area of Changyuan is too large, the population of the capital is not enough to digest it, and those natives are relatively peaceful, so in the early years, in order to avoid a war on two fronts, a pacification strategy was adopted for these natives, and it has continued to this day, but what the students want to say is that by next year at the latest, there will be a new indigenous tribe that will migrate here." ”
Liu Guang showed a look of concern and said, "Zhang Junzi, will there be any problems with this clan?"
Zhang Yu looked up at the three of them and said, "This tribe is called 'Chakzanu', which means 'hard claws', and it is a large tribe with at least 20,000 indigenous warriors. He emphasized, "It is also an indigenous tribe that the Metropolitan Protectorate has never been in contact with before." ”
"What?"
Zhu Anshi and the three of them were all shocked, those tribal warriors alone were nothing, after all, the stone spear bone arrows could not resist the fire cannon and steel sharp weapons.
However, the number of warriors of this tribe can already give birth to at least a hundred or more tribal sacrifices with supernormal abilities, and perhaps there may be one or two indigenous gods, and the combination of these three will be very, very impressive, which will pose a great threat to the rule of the southern territory of the Metropolitan Protectorate.
Zhu Anshi couldn't help but take a step forward and asked, "Where did you know this?"
Zhang Yudao: "Three years ago, I traveled and lived for a period of time at the junction of the Ansan Mountains and the lower reaches of the Dan River, and I know most of the indigenous tribes living in that area. ”
"In fact, this Strongclaw tribe had been migrating westward for many years, and had a number of conflicts with the local tribes along the way, but it was uncertain whether they would cross Ansan westward until I looked through the newspapers of these days and saw the appearance of a blue-striped native barbarian with a crest of feathers and a clawed sign on the territory of the Metropolitan Protectorate. ”
Zhu Anshi immediately called an assistant and said with a solemn face: "Go and bring all the newspapers in the capital for the past half month, and get a few more." ”
Liu Guang said at this time: "Zhang Junzi, looking at your self-recommendation post, three years ago, you should have only been fourteen years old, right?"
Zhang Yudao: "Yes." ”
In fact, he was twelve years old when he went out to travel, but he had been with the teacher for the first two years, and he had asked him not to talk about himself in front of others, so he skipped this paragraph.
Xin Yao helped her glasses and said, "Amazing." ”
Liu Guang asked curiously, "Zhang Junzi, how did you come up with the idea of going there at that time?"
Zhang Yu was silent for a moment, as if he was caught up in some memory of the past, and then he opened his mouth to speak.
"When the students were studying ancient naturalism, they found that in the 100 years since the arrival of the Metropolitan Protectorate, their understanding of the indigenous civilization here is still very limited, and the legends and origins of most of the indigenous tribes are on the other side of Ansan, so they came up with the idea of going there to investigate......
He goes on to describe some of the difficulties and dangers encountered in that area, and because of the "rhyme", his voice is very infectious, and his observation of things is very unique and detailed, even if you just listen to his narration, it gives people a sense of immersion.
The three of them didn't know much about Zhang Yu, but at this moment, they naturally made up the image of a young scholar with a fearless spirit and the courage to explore.
At this moment, the assistant walked in with a large stack of newspapers, and the three of them immediately went separately to verify, and soon found the news that Zhang Yu said.
Because these barbarians are not taken seriously, the accounts of them only appear in the marginal corners, and in fact they appear in the newspapers because these barbarians hunted a few spiritual creatures, and it is indeed easy to ignore the past if it is not particularly attentive or very sensitive in this regard.
The three of them immediately realized that Zhang Yu had actually sent an extremely important piece of information today under the pretext of admonishment.
And if you use it well, then you can seize the opportunity in the next metropolitan meeting!
After Zhu Anshi, Liu Guang and Xin Yao talked in a low voice, they said to Zhang Yu: "Zhang Shaolang, please wait for a while." ”
Zhang Yu clasped his hands together and said, "The student is waiting." ”
Zhu Anshi and the three of them came to a nearby conference hall together.
Liu Guang was very interested, and without waiting to sit down, he said: "Master Zhu, Master Xin, the news brought by Zhang Shaolang is very useful, just based on this, he can recommend himself through this time, I propose, this time the three of us will jointly recommend him as the master of the palace." ”
Zhu Anshi suddenly said at this time: "I don't agree. ”
Liu Guang showed a look of surprise, he thought about it, and suddenly laughed, "Could it be that Master Zhu is afraid that his reputation will be damaged? Actually, it is not necessary, I thought that in this matter, even the school palace side would give in, let alone our little reputation?"
"Not for that reason. Zhu Anshi's expression became serious, and he said: "Master Liu, Master Xin, this Zhang Shaolang can stay, and we can also compensate him elsewhere, but we must not grant him a school position!"
Liu Guang was very puzzled, and said, "Master Zhu, why? Can you tell me the reason?"
Xin Yao looked at Zhu Anshi quietly, as if she was also waiting for an answer.
Zhu Anshi said in a deep voice: "Two, in fact, we don't know this person, we just listened to his words that are difficult to distinguish between true and false, we don't know what his knowledge is, and we don't know anything about his character, just because he brought a piece of news, let him become a palace teacher?"
Speaking of this, he accentuated his tone and said, "You know, the palace master is to be taught by others, how can it be easily awarded to a person whose details are unknown?"
As a school palace under the jurisdiction of the Tianxia Rite Department, Taiyang School Palace also has some old atmosphere, and it is more important in morality, thinking that this is the foundation of a person's life, and learning is secondary.
Just now, he was infected by Zhang Yu's words, and his thoughts were the same as Liu Guang's, and he couldn't help but want to agree, but at this moment, he calmed down, but he felt that this matter was very inappropriate.
In the final analysis, Zhang Yu did not use his knowledge to convince him, but used a method that seemed to him to be more cunning.
He was now particularly worried that Zhang Yu was a villain with bad conduct.
If this is the case, the teachers and teachers who are responsible for the school examination will be less affected, but if this damages the reputation of the Taiyang Academy, or even worse, it will be too big.
Liu Guang argued with him: "But how important is this news, Master Zhu teaches you not to know, the Duhu Mansion has always adopted the strategy of suppressing the north and the south, and now only this Zhang Shaolang understands the language of the Jianclaw tribe, we have to communicate with this tribe, and we can't do without him, if we don't give a school position, I don't have a name, why should he contribute to my Taiyang Academy?"
Zhu Anshi said with a firm expression: "If he is a person who understands the righteousness and knows that the overall situation is important, then as long as we explain the stakes in this, then he will naturally contribute to us." If he is unwilling to do so, it just means that he is just an opportunistic villain, and then we must not condone such behavior! And since we already know the news, I don't believe that the school palace is so wise that in the face of an indigenous tribe, he can't think of a feasible way. ”
Liu Guangqi smiled, a crisis in the Duhu Mansion may be imminent, you are talking about morality with others at this time, aren't you confused in reading?
He couldn't even know what to say if he could solve the problem in the least costly way, but he complicated things.
It's just that all three of them need to nod and agree to this matter, and if one of them objects, it won't pass. There was nothing he could do for a while, so he suppressed the irritability that surged into his chest, sat down heavily, picked up the tea on the table, and poured a few sips.
Zhu Anshi looked at the two of them and said seriously: "I also know that this Zhang Shaolang is a talent, but the more such a person, the greater the harm when he reaches a high position, I don't want another Yao Hongyi to appear in the capital hall in the future." ”
Liu Guang was also silent, and just as he was about to say when, the assistant from before hurried over again, still holding a few newspapers in his hand. He looked over and said, "Where did you get the newspaper?"
The assistant bowed down and said, "Master Liu, this is a newspaper that only came out today, and the next officer thinks that the three teachers may need it, so he brought it on his own initiative." ”
Liu Guang nodded, sent away the assistant, was so interrupted, he forgot what he wanted to say just now, took the newspaper and swept his eyes, but the action was a pause, and then took a closer look at it carefully, the expression on his face became subtle, he looked up at Zhu Anshi, and said: "Master Zhu, I remember, this Zhang Junzi is called Zhang Yu, right? ”
Zhu Anshi was puzzled: "Yes, what's wrong?"
"I think Master Zhu should take a look at this. Liu Guang handed over the newspaper.
Zhu Anshi took it in wonder, opened the newspaper, and saw a realistic picture of a huge monster, a young man standing on an isolated island, and a boat was moving away into the distance.
"Newts?"
As an ancient naturalist, it was not difficult for him to recognize this monster, but when he looked down again, he was stunned.
The newspapers reported in detail that the Daifuku was in distress, and a young man stood up to imitate the sound of the newt cub, leaving alone to attract the attention of the monster and cover the entire retreat of the ship.
There is no artistic processing or personal feelings in the whole article, but it is simply a record of the whole thing.
But such a simple sentence is almost cold, and combined with the picture that is only black and white, it makes people deeply shocked.
Liu Guang looked at Zhu Anshi, who had not returned to his senses for a long time, and said in a solemn tone: "Master Zhu, I believe that a person who is willing to stand up and sacrifice himself and save others in times of crisis has an irreproachable character, at least I can't be like him." ”
"Don't say it...... Zhu Anshi's hand holding the newspaper trembled slightly, he raised his head with red eyes, and said: "This is a real gentleman, I almost made a big mistake! I am willing to work with the two teachers to jointly sponsor him as the master of the palace!"
