When Lu Fan first walked into Zhixing Academy, his mood was full of excitement and apprehension, and he paid a lot for such an opportunity.

Lu Fan's background is not good, but he did not accept his fate, in order to change his fate, he has always carefully studied the scriptures and meanings, and he did not dare to slack off.

It's just that under the poverty of the family, after all, it is still affected, not to mention that he has no money to buy books, so he can only borrow other people's books to copy, that is, when the family is busy with farming, he also has to put down his studies and go home to farm.

Lu Fan's above, there are two elder brothers, but these two people don't have much interest in studying, and they don't have any opinions about their own situation, except for sometimes envying the luxurious life of those rich lords, that is, complaining that the government can't give them silver taels, so that they can directly withdraw money and grain like Xiucai, and work hard every day in the province, and at the end of the year, there is not much harvest, and most of them have to be handed over.

Yes, this Lu family is actually a tenant, and their ancestors also had land, but it has long been sold.

And whenever this happens, Lu Fan will comfort the two elder brothers, telling them that only by working hard to learn, having knowledge and skills, can they change their fate, and simply complaining is useless.

In this regard, the two elder brothers always scoffed.

However, his parents treated Lu Fan very favorably, although his family was poor, they also tried their best to meet Lu Fan's needs, but this also made the two brothers very envious, and they always looked for opportunities to send Lu Fan to prevent him from studying with peace of mind.

However, Lu Fan also knows that a family like himself has a thin income, but a lot of people, and the annual harvest can barely make ends meet, and if he wants to support a person to go to school, it is absolutely impossible to do it, because of this, he never refutes his brothers, but concentrates on reading when he reads. When doing farm work, he is also hardworking and concentrated.

Such a down-to-earth attitude has paid off after all, a year ago, Lu Fan just turned twenty, and he won the show, and since then, the carp has jumped into the dragon gate, and the whole family has changed.

Although, because of the change of the prince of the country, the rules of this show to grant land tax exemption are gone. But this gave the land, even if there was still a tax, there was not much land, but the status of the family was different, in essence, it changed from a tenant to a yeoman farmer, and the shock to the family can be imagined!

How many people have worked diligently all their lives for a piece of land that belongs to them, so that when they get the title deed. Lu Fan's old father, that is old tears.

Immediately afterwards, not only the two elder brothers' attitudes towards Lu Fan changed greatly, from the original dislike and exclusion. has become flattering and flattering, and he is also proud of it outside, that is, the clan and the sect elders who didn't care much about them have come over one after another to say hello to this family. They even sent men from the clan to repair their houses.

For a while, the life of a family. earth-shaking changes have taken place, everyone is satisfied, and Lu Fan has really been able to get out of work and devote himself to studying and learning, and will not be disturbed anymore.

Without the pressure of food and clothing, Lu Fan's mind about doing scholarship has also changed from simply seeking a background, and he has really given birth to the idea of exploring.

On the other hand, at this time, the new policy presided over by the Marquis of Dingguo, but also implemented, according to the law of the new policy, these people who have won the name of Xiucai, must do their own obligations, according to the above statement, that is, enjoy the country's financial subsidies, but also admired, they should give feedback, everyone should give at least ten general horns enlightenment every year, these are included in the assessment.

If it was in the past, even if such a rule was set, the officials below would not be regarded as the same thing, anyway, the emperor was far away, everything was what they said, and the local gentry and landlords could play a double reed, and they didn't worry about anything else at all.

But now it's different, after Qiu Yan took the throne, he implemented the law of the leylines on a large scale, communication became extraordinarily convenient, and there were special inspections to be established, and inspections everywhere were inspected, and there was no way to hide it, although there were also whispers, but even the family alliance had bowed their heads in front of Qiu Yan before, and they were local gentry who were not of the same mind at all, how could they resist?

Over time, it has become customized.

This can be described as unspeakably miserable and a great torment for many talents, but after Lu Fan immersed himself for a while, he was touched and noticed a trace of humane reasoning.

From that time on, Lu Fan had the idea of exploring the way of knowledge and action.

However, at this time, the way of Zhixing has become quite popular, and the influence of Qiu Xue is also growing, and the most direct expression is that there are more and more Confucian students and students who want to enter Zhixing Academy, and it can be said that it is difficult to enter the heavens.

It's just that this Lu Fan has a tenacity, after not having to worry about food and clothing, he seems to be wholeheartedly devoted to the pursuit of Qiu Xue, after studying for a while, he has completed this year's Mengxue task, and could have lived in peace, but he still embarked on the course of studying without hesitation.

The study tour at this time is different from Qiu Yan's study tour back then, not to mention that Lu Fan does not have Qiu Yan's skills and cultivation, but he is just a weak scholar, and he has never gone far away, and his knowledge is limited.

Today's world alone is completely different from what it was back then, and there is no longer stability and peace.

These instabilities do not come from the four sides, on the contrary, the peace on the four sides has long been quelled and restrained by Qiu Yan's decrees, but new crises are constantly coming from farther places, mainly from the west of Zhutuolan, now the demons are dancing wildly, I heard that it has become a human purgatory, and from time to time there are scale armor demons who cross the border to kill people, and it has become a big disaster in Jiannan Road.

Although Lu Fan was born in Hebei Province, he had already heard that the method of communication in the leylines made the flow of information between places faster and faster, which gradually opened the eyes of many people.

In this case, traveling abroad has become a very risky thing, even if the Marquis of Dingguo, with the help of the four-sided war, will promote the new army to all sides, and innovate the soldiers, so that the strength of the entire Da Rui's soldiers and military combat effectiveness have been improved, which can ensure the stability of the Quartet, but after all, it cannot expel the worries in his heart.

Under such circumstances, Lu Fan embarked on his journey.

Along the way, he has experienced a lot, and even encountered demons, and walked with Taoist priests, and his human roots were also praised a lot, more than one person said that he would accept him as a disciple, but Lu Fan did not have the idea of taking the transcendent road.

Of course, there are also encounters on the road, but Lu Fan is single-minded, and he has also held it, and it took half a year to arrive in the capital, and he didn't stop at all, so he went to Zhixing Academy non-stop, like a pilgrimage, but there are obvious differences.

Pilgrimage is to place one's thoughts on external objects and dedicate oneself, and what Lu Fan desires is to absorb enough nourishment from Zhixing Academy to supplement himself, improve his understanding, and enrich himself from the outside in.

The difference in this has created a fundamental difference, and what I see in Zhixing Academy is not blind flattery, but many arguments and arguments.

This is also normal, because of this time, the Zhixing Academy has long been famous, and it has become a holy place for students who are no less than several major academies in the Eastern Capital, and among the students who have come, there are many in various places, and they have long had a good reputation.

Such a person, of course, will not convince people lightly, when he comes to the capital, what he really wants to see is also the Dingguo Marquis himself, who wants to be valued by him and admitted to the court, and other people, etc., don't care about it at all.

This Zhixing Academy is also wonderful, the area of the academy was not small, and later the emperor ordered several expansions, and now it is comparable to several villages and towns, and it is divided into inside and outside, the inner courtyard is connected to the Sage Hall, Baibao Hall, and the viewing roof, which is a real attractive place, but it can not be lightly entered.

It's no wonder, after all, there are too many people gathered now, after all, if there is really no order and they rush up, then the inner courtyard is afraid that it will collapse.

Therefore, most of the people are still in this outer courtyard.

Fortunately, Zhixing Academy has its own set of rules, and the Marquis of Dingguo is busy with government affairs every day and has no time to take care of anything else, but he still has a set of teaching methods, and many of the knowledge of Zhixing are open and honest, which can be found in many places in the outer courtyard, and after exploring it by himself, they can debate with each other.

Every five days, Zheng Yun, the eldest disciple of Dingguohou, came forward to organize a big debate, and selected 100 people from it to enter the inner courtyard.

This result is very tempting, you must know that in the inner courtyard, not only is there a wonderful place where you can observe the heavens and feel the world, but also many great Confucians and grandmasters in the Hundred Treasure Pavilion, and it is a great thing to be able to find one person to ask for advice.

Not to mention, there are many insights of Qiu Yan hidden in the Scripture Pavilion, as well as other works of Confucianism, and it is faster to enter it than in the outer courtyard.

In addition, the mysterious Sage Hall is also valued by everyone, you know, the birth of this Sage Hall, but it caused a lot of waves, but correspondingly, it has also spread all over the world, so that the world's scholars know where Shilin is, and also know that Tongguò This Sage Hall can go straight to Shilin without too many qualifications.

It is for this reason that, after each debate, those who are selected to enter the inner courtyard will first come to the outside of this hall of sages to have a look and recite it with peace of mind.

It's the same today, Lu Fan and everyone arrived, this was the first time he entered the inner courtyard, and he always wanted to have a good life to investigate along the way, but in the end, he read and meditated, calmed down, and did not lose his manners, and followed the crowd to the outside of the Sage Hall.

Outside the Sage Hall, Qiu An was sitting cross-legged.

"This Qiu Daxia is not a simple character!"

"In the battle of Pinglian, Qiu An's hero became famous all over the world, although he was the character of the servant of the Qiu family, no one dared to underestimate him, and he knew that he was a peerless master. ”

"He sits here to protect the flesh of those who enter the forest in the hall. (To be continued......)
