The palace is divided into several main areas, including the Confucius House in the southeast and the Student House in the southwest, and a vast garden called "South Garden" sandwiched between them.

A wide artificial river leads water from the south of Jixia Xuegong - Shenchi Lake on the grassland, and after wandering around the scenery of the South Park, it flows into a large artificial lake in the north of the South Park, this artificial river is called Shen Canal, and this artificial lake is called Ji Lake.

The side of Jihu Lake is the most important building of Jixia School Palace-Jixia School. Jixia School, is the temple of the palace, all the ceremonies are held here, and it is also the most magnificent group of buildings in the palace, carved beams and paintings, columns, solemn and solemn.

There is a large square in front of the Jixia School, which can accommodate tens of thousands of people to participate in the ceremony, which is magnificent and magnificent!

To the northwest of Jixia School Palace is a small hill - where Yi Mountain is located, and Zou Yan's stargazing platform is at the top of Yi Mountain. The northeast is the teaching area, while the central area, that is, the north of the Jixia School Palace and Jihu Lake, are the four pavilions that the students call "the four seasons together"—Qingyang Building, Changying Building, Sushang Building, and Yuanying Building.

The whole Jixia School Palace, there are mountains and rivers, the scenery is picturesque, like a paradise, and like a place for the gods to live in seclusion......

It was early in the morning, and there were groups of students talking loudly along the way, or leaning on the covered bridge of the South Park to talk generously, or standing under the roadside trees arguing passionately, or boating on the Jihu Lake, sparkling, green shirts and tall songs......

It was when he was young, he was high-spirited, pointing out the country, and the dung was the marquis of ten thousand households!

Lu Yunzhou walked on the smooth stone road under Jixia, feeling quite strange in his heart, looking around curiously, looking at this historical place two thousand years ago, the famous Qi State Jixia School Palace.

Qi Yu seems to be very popular in Jixia Academy, and someone greeted Lu Yunzhou along the way and asked him how his injuries were.

"Qingyang, Changying, Sushang, and Yuanying are another name for spring, summer, autumn, and winter respectively, so these four buildings are called 'four seasons together', Qi Yu, do you still have an impression? ”

The voice of the little fat man Duan Heng sounded in his ears.

When Lu Yunzhou heard this, he looked around, and saw that the four high-rise buildings in front of him were built on a high platform, carved beams and painted buildings, ingenious workmanship, flying halls were cold, and heavy buildings were foggy, which was actually a rare "skyscraper" in this era, which was higher than the magnificent Jixia School seen on the road.

Although there are only two floors, with the high platform at the bottom of the pavilion, the height is equivalent to the fourth or fifth floors of the previous building.

"I didn't expect that the ancient buildings more than 2,000 years ago could already reach this level? If it were seen by those architects, historians and archaeologists in later generations, I am afraid that they would go crazy!" Lu Yunzhou admired in his heart.

"Qi Yu, do you know that the way you look along the way seems to be enough for those foreign tourists who have just arrived in Jixia for sightseeing. ”

Zhao Pu looked at Lu Yunzhou with an amazed face on the side, and said with a strange expression.

"Haha, Brother Zhao Pu is right, and the three of us are the accompanying visitors, who are responsible for explaining to the foreign guests, Lord Qi Yu, ha!"

The little fat man Duan Heng put his arm on Xie Ziyuan's shoulder and took over with a smile.

Xie Ziyuan couldn't bear to look directly at his face and glanced to the side, as if to say that I didn't know this person!

...

...

The four of them walked up the steps and walked into the Changying Building, only to see that in the wide hall on the first floor, many long tables were neatly arranged. In the center of the hall, there are three large tripods, and in the middle of the tripod are steaming and fragrant food. There were already many students eating, some of them gathered around and rolling up their sleeves and talking, and some of them were well-dressed and sitting upright, just silently bowing their heads to eat.

Zi said: Eat without speaking, sleep without speaking. Qi Yu, those who don't speak are all Confucian disciples. Zhao Pu glanced at Lu Yunzhou, who was looking curiously, and then explained.

"Oh", Lu Yunzhou nodded knowingly, and then asked, "So, which family and which faction are we?"

The little fat man Duan Heng laughed out loud: "Qi Yu, you even forgot about this, I'm afraid that Qi Shibo will beat you again." ”

Xie Ziyuan couldn't bear to look at him directly: "I've never heard Uncle Qi beat Qi Yu, but I heard that Uncle Qi is always beating you." ”

The little fat man Duan Heng's face fell, and he said in distress: "Don't mention it, it turns out that my father is the most barbaric!"

Lu Yunzhou said with a smile: "You'd better not let Uncle Duan know what you said, otherwise he will definitely beat you." ”

The first floor was already overcrowded, and several people took dishes and chopsticks from the cupboard on the side of the hall on the first floor, and filled the soup in the steaming three bottles in the center of the hall, and went up to the second floor to find a place. Lu Yunzhou was amazed in his heart, thinking that the routine of the ancient canteen and the school canteen in later generations was similar.

Xie Ziyuan said: "Qi Yu, Duan Heng and I are Confucian protégés, but the two of us are not confined to these, Master Xun said, 'Listen to Qi Ming', when eating, you talk, we just listen." ”

Zhao Pu said calmly on the side: "I have no sect and no faction, I am just a swordsman, and there are no rules." ”

Lu Yunzhou searched his memories to find out which one he should be, but he didn't gain anything, and only found some fragments of Qi Yu's poetry class.

The little fat man Duan Heng looked at Lu Yunzhou with a puzzled expression, and said: "Qi Yu, your father is in the position of the chief secretary, he is the highest foreign minister of Qi State, and he is also the representative of the Zongheng family of Qi State, if you don't work against your father, most of you will be from the Zongheng family." ”

said helplessly: "My father is a Legalist, and I am a Confucian disciple, I am always beaten by him because I don't agree with my father's philosophy, and I often don't talk speculation, but I recently hid in Ziyuan's house, but I lived quite comfortably, haha." ”

Zhao Pu sneered: "Lord Duan is the great manager of the Qi State, the supreme magistrate, but you are his son but Confucian, of course he beat you without discussion." ”

The four of them walked up to the second floor with a smile, and just walked to the staircase on the second floor, but they heard a voice not far away: "Soldiers, the major affairs of the country, the place of death and life, and the way of survival." What do you farmers who can only farm know?"

I saw a long table by the window in the corner of the second floor, a heroic-looking young man was knocking on chopsticks, arguing with a red face and a thick neck.

On the opposite side was a dark-skinned young man with a sad expression, who said-for-tat: "It is said that the soldiers and horses go first before the grain and grass are moved, and the ancestors and grandsons of your soldiers have all said: Feed grain for thousands of miles, and then the army of 100,000 will be raised! If the army wants to go out to fight, there will be no grain to go out? Doesn't it have to rely on our peasant families to farm the land to support the army? Why do you say that we don't understand? Wanton military recklessness will only lead to the inability of all the people in the country to eat, and this is the way to destroy the country!"

Lu Yunzhou looked around and found that the seats on the second floor were also full, except for the table where the two teenagers who were arguing loudly were still a few empty seats, thinking that the two were arguing so badly that no one wanted to sit down.

Xie Ziyuan was speechless: "Sun Fuwu and Chen Kexing are arguing again, where are we sitting?"

Lu Yunzhou searched the memories in his mind, and remembered that the heroic-looking young man was Sun Fuwu of the soldier's family, and the young man with a sad expression was Chen Kexing of the farmer's family.

Sun Fuwu, as soon as he heard this name, he was a fanatical admirer of Sun Wu!

The little fat man Duan Heng said helplessly: "Now only their table has a place, so let's go over and eat quietly, just don't disturb them." ”

Zhao Pu nodded calmly and said, "This is reasonable!"

Several people took the dinner plate and quietly walked to the table by the window and sat down, Sun Fuwu and Chen Kexing were arguing fiercely, and they didn't even look at them.

The four of them glanced at each other, all of them had smiles in their eyes, and they didn't care, and sat down quietly to eat.

I only heard Sun Fuwu say again: "What do you know, you peasants can not support the army, but when the foreign army comes in, then it will be called the real country! At that time, the grain you grow will only be cheaper for the people of the enemy country! If there is no army to protect the country, can you farm with peace of mind?"

Chen Kexing was unconvinced: "I only know that if we blindly oppress the people, causing the displaced people to rise everywhere, and there is starvation on the road, we will not wait for the enemy country to attack us, and we will be in chaos first." Our Qi country has not had a large-scale war for more than 20 years, but the army is expanding every year, the young and strong families are forced to conscript, the ploughland is full of old and weak women and children, the soldiers do not produce, sit and eat the mountains empty, the people work hard, but they can't eat, when the famine year comes, they can only break their bones for cooking, and eat for their children, so if this continues, what can the country do if it does not die?"

Lu Yunzhou was stunned when he heard this, and then listened attentively, thinking to himself, could it be that the Qi Kingdom had reached such a level?

He is a modern person, although he knows that the Warring States period is a troubled era where human life is like a mustard, but after all, he does not have a strong sense of substitution.

Duan Heng's expressions also became solemn.

Sun Fuwu argued: "You are less alarmist, my Qi country is a big country in the East, bordering the East China Sea, encouraging commerce and trade, and the people enjoy the benefits of fish and salt, and has always been the richest of the seven countries, how can it be as unbearable as you say?"

Chen Kexing sneered: "The Qi country is no longer the Qi country of the past, since more than twenty years ago, the Yan country almost wiped out my Qi country, and the Qi country has lost its glory. After Tian Xiang returned to the country, the Qi State was just surviving. But they still don't know how to recuperate and recuperate, but instead they have intensified their excesses and miscellaneous taxes, scraped the people's ointment, usury is rampant, and the people are miserable. ”

The atmosphere around suddenly quieted down, and the students in the hall on the second floor all turned their heads to look at Chen Kexing, who was talking generously.

Sun Fuwu blushed, gritted his teeth and said: "The hatred of destroying the country, my Qi country will definitely find Yan Guo to get it back, and when I enter the army in the future and lead the troops to fight, I will cut off Yan Gou's head with my own hands, I don't need you to say that I know!"

A student got up from his seat, straightened his clothes, walked up to Chen Kexing, saluted, and said, "Classmate Chen, Liu Kun of the Xiahuang Old School, I don't know what you think about the current situation of Qi State?"
