Chapter 323 The First Academy in the World

Even Wang Zhen could see it, and stared blankly at the camp of the wing soldiers in the distance, saying, "Jiulang, it's a bit difficult."

Song Jiu lowered his head and said nothing. After thinking for a long time, he felt confused. He couldn't help but look up at the sky. After Cao Han went to Jiangzhou, he not only massacred the people, but also demolished many city walls in anger, making Jiangzhou unable to protect themselves in the future. The city wall at the southern end was demolished, and the end of the sky was clearly visible. There were green peaks, standing like jade, and there was no place for Mount Lu. Song Jiu had a sudden inspiration and said, "Go."

...

"It's so cool." Guo Er said, wiping his sweat with his sleeves.

The three of them headed south to the bottom of Mount Lu, then turned to Wulao Peak on the east side, and entered Mount Lu, as if the temperature had dropped sharply by ten degrees Celsius.

"Kyuro, where are we going?"

"The No. 1 Academy in the World!"

It is also called Bailu Cave Academy, but now it is called Lushan National Studies. Bailu Cave is not a cave, but a valley under Wulao Peak. It is protected by Wulao Peak on the front, Zhuoer Mountain on the side, and Zhuoer Mountain is surrounded by Houping Mountain and Guyi Mountain. There is a stream in the middle, passing through the canyon and pouring into Pengli Lake. Looking down at the valley from a high place is quite like a cave. Originally, it was not very famous. Li Bo, a Tang Dynasty man, lived in seclusion here and studied. Li Bo liked to raise deer and reindeer. The white deer he raised was very human. Li Bo often hung a purse on the deer antlers and put the things he wanted to buy into the purse. Bailu went to the Cao Market to purchase it himself. People in the Cao Market also knew that this was the white deer raised by Li Bo. They would take away copper coins and put the goods on the back of the deer as written on the note. The Bailu returned by himself. After buying the things, it became the most unique bright scene in Jiangzhou at that time.

Later, Li Bo served as the governor of Jiangzhou. He built some pavilions here and planted flowers and trees. This became a famous scenic spot. At the end of the Tang Dynasty, the war was in chaos and schools were destroyed. Many scholars who went to Lushan to live in seclusion often came to Bailu Cave to study and study. During the Southern Tang Dynasty, Li officially established the academic hall here, and thus became the world's number one academy. Chai Rong also established Taiyi Academy in Songshan, but he was just imitating Jiao Southern Tang.

But at this time, the real No. 1 academy in the world was not Taiyi academy or Bailudong academy, but Hezhou, which was not only materialistic. Many students in high school were very proficient in Confucianism, with nearly 3,000 students, and Confucianism was also majoring in subjects. However, despite Song Jiu repeatedly washing away his mark, his personal mark was still very heavy and he did not receive the recognition of scholars and scholars in the world.

Song Jiu wouldn't fight, it doesn't make much sense to just mess with verbal battles.

The three of them stepped into the valley.

The mountains are bright, the birds sing and the flowers are fragrant, and the scenery is very beautiful.

Not far away is the Bailu Cave Academy. The three of them turned over and got off the horse and walked in.

Wang Zhen said: "This is also the number one academy in the world."

Although Cao Han was very cruel in Jiangzhou, he himself often read books and even wrote a few poems that could be passed. During the Jiangzhou tragedy, he ordered not to hurt Jiangnan National Studies. Therefore, the academy architecture did not cause any damage.

However, he invisibly hurt the academy.

The cruelty of his subordinates scared away some of the students and students, and there was also supply. In the past, when Jiangnan National Studies was at its peak, there were hundreds of students. These people also had to eat, drink, wear and live, and they also needed to be repaired. They also needed to spend a lot of money and silk a year. One was paid by the Southern Tang Dynasty court, but now it is impossible. The second was donation from local gentry. Are there any gentry in the surrounding area? Yes, will merchants from Jiangbei donate money to Jiangnan National Studies?

Without money, the students were hungry and cold, and they scattered and fled. Now there are only a few dozen students and apprentices left in the academy.

In fact, in terms of architecture, it is not as luxurious as Hezhou Academy.

If there are only a few dozen people in the big academy, it looks deserted and quiet, so quiet that it makes people feel terrible.

Song Jiu glared at him fiercely and could not underestimate Bailu Cave Academy. As long as this brand does not fall, the court will provide a little support and the former glory will be restored immediately.

After walking for a while, a student came over and asked them, "What are you doing here?"

"We'll come to visit the head of the Mingqi Cave." Song Jiu bowed.

The student hesitated for a while. If the three of them had come in no way before, and had visited the cave chief, they would have been slammed out long ago, but it is hard to say now. He looked at Song Jiu. Song Jiu would not have the temperament of a turtle, but he had been in the upper position for a long time and had a steady temperament. If he was careful, he would definitely not be an ordinary person.

"You are..."

"I will tell him when I see the head of Mingdong." Song Jiu said almost in an orderly tone.

It was not early, and Jiangzhou was extremely fast. When it was evening, the four gates were closed and the three of them could not enter the city.

The student hesitated for a moment and finally brought Song Jiu to worry. This was an elegant courtyard with a Confucian scholar in his forties studying, and a woman behind him was sewing clothes, probably his wife.

Song Jiu made a gesture, Guo Er and Wang Zheng understood each other, and they were guarding the door, and even the student stopped outside. Song Jiu bowed and said, "But the Ming Cave is the eldest?"

When the student saw Song Jiu performing his tribute, he did not know Song Jiu's identity and thought he had no malice. He only let go of his heart, but he was still standing outside watching.

I stood up tomorrow and looked at Song Jiu.

Song Jiu said happily: "I heard that the two major academies are proud of the world, but I didn't expect that they would be today."

He came to work in Mingqi, but that was a win-win situation, but he still did not have much favorable feelings for Confucian Song Jiu. This idea is based on the consequences of the chaos and entanglement of literati in the Song and Ming dynasties.

The Ming Dynasty said slowly: "No, you are talking about Taiyi Academy. It is different from Taiyi Academy. There are many officials who have not separated from the secular world. Moreover, Confucianism is not Taoism, and it emphasizes access to the world. How can it be separated from the secular world? Taiyi Academy has a biased approach. They are supported by the court, but they are superior to the top. Sooner or later, they will be inferior to this small Chinese Academy where the country is destroyed and the family is destroyed."

Song Jiu is strong and will only be reasonable in the future.

"After entering the world, why did the Southern Tang Dynasty be destroyed?"

"What can I do if the lord is dark? If the lord is half wise and the court has the force of the Khitan in the north, it may not be so easy to take over the Southern Tang Dynasty." Mingqi replied calmly again.

"Since the Han Dynasty, Confucianism has been the only one. Why can't every dynasty last forever?" Song Jiu sarcastically said again.

"The prosperity will lead to decline, and this is the way of heaven."

"This is a Taoist theory."

"Since it is a family, where is the great way that has no foothold? From the time of Confucianism to this day, how many Taos, teachings, laws, names, yin and yang, and other theories have been mixed with. Why can't Taoism be mentioned?"

Song Jiu felt that he was doing something stupid with Mingqi, but he also had a way to defeat him and learn from Zhao Kuangyin with one force.

He took out the seal talisman from his arms and placed it in front of Mingqi, let him take a look, and quickly put it in his arms.

I will salute tomorrow. Song Jiu said: "Go in and talk."

Walking into the house, Ming ups and downs, Song Jiu grabbed him and Mingqi said, "It turns out that Song Gong has come to Jiangzhou, and the people of Jiangzhou are saved."

Putting aside the whole story, Song Jiu's magistrate is obviously more powerful than Zhang Ji. Some of Song Jiu's deeds may not be clear about Song Jiu's deeds, but it is impossible not to know about it tomorrow. He cried and suppressed the heavens: "Your Majesty, why didn't you send Song Gong to Jiangzhou earlier?"

"Myung-dong, I don't want to disclose my identity for the time being."

"Know. Know."

Song Jiu sighed in his heart, "A man is poor and his ambition is short. As Ming Dynasty said, Jiangnan Chinese studies are world-wide, but why are they so timid? Seeing the big, high-rise and high-rise white deer, Song Jiu couldn't help but have a deeper understanding of the word "family and country".

Mingqi said again: "Please sit down."

Then he ordered his wife to serve tea.

"Don't use it, I'm talking about the serious business."

"Please say it."

"You said that the people of Jiangzhou are saved. Are the people of Jiangzhou still the people of Jiangzhou in your heart?"

Finally, he asked the people of Jiangzhou today, and I am afraid that even Zhao Kuangyin could not explain clearly.

"When the officers and soldiers killed the people, as the cave chief, why didn't you take the students to dissuade them?"

"Mr. Song, don't I want to go and dissuade me? That day, the officers and soldiers were brutal. Many people in Jiangzhou fled out of the city, and the officers and soldiers were still chasing them from behind. Around hundreds of miles, all the people who could hide in secret places were killed. I don't know if it was tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of people..." When he said this from the morning, Hu Tao cried.

How many people have been killed is probably a mystery, and no one dares to investigate. After Mingqi said that, he said, "But I am not you. Even if you are in Bashu, you also use Guankou Village to make a bet and bet with your life, which forces General Wang not to dare to kill people. But it can only be said that he killed fewer people. The officers and soldiers did not kill people later?"

Song Jiu was silent.

"Mingdong Chief, I have something that I have never understood. Why did the people of Jiangzhou resist so much? At that time, Li Yu's letter of state arrived in Jiangzhou, and the military and civilians of Jiangzhou had no right to resist. Besides, the unification is also beneficial to the people. Ask yourself, is it a good thing to split the country and endless wars? Besides, our dynasty is not ruled by foreigners, so I have never understood it."

"Duke Song, this old man knows a little. When the officers and soldiers came, the officials in Jiangzhou were preparing to surrender to the court, but some relatives of the military academy, Hu Ze and the Ya general Song Deming, died in the battle of Wanjiangkou. The two did not accept it. Not only them, but many soldiers, had relatives who died in that battle, so they mobilized to kill the governor and refused to return. General Cao brought the officers and soldiers to suppress them. The two sides fought and sacrificed each other. As more and more people died, the hatred became deeper and deeper and unresolvable, which led to the tragic battle."

Song Jiu certainly opposed the Jiangzhou tragedy, but he did not agree with the Jiangzhou people's rebellion so desperately. He had a period of military career. At this time, the soldiers of the Song Dynasty were still relatively simple and unpretentious, and had deep feelings, so many Song soldiers died in Chenzhou. Pan Mei was furious and wanted to massacre the city. Fortunately, under Li Chao's dissuasion, Pan Mei took back the order. But tomorrow it would definitely think that the resistance of the Jiangzhou military and civilians was a heroic act, but she didn't dare to say it directly.

"Maybe it's the reason. However, the tragedy happened, so we can only make up for the loss."

Nodded from tomorrow.

"I want to invite you..." Song Jiu's words said simply: "Let me do this, I brought hundreds of taels of silver to do money. I will hand it over to you tomorrow. It seems that the academy is in a difficult situation. Let's solve the food for the students first. After I take over, I will allocate a batch of funds to you. This academy is a cultural base in the south, so it cannot be allowed to fall down."

"Thank you, Duke Song."

"No need to thank you. Jiangnan returns. The people of Jiangnan are the people of our dynasty. Jiangnan education is the education of our dynasty. Education is the top priority of the country. I am not for you, but for the country. But before I take over, I want to ask you to do a few things for me..."

...

"Mingdong is the eldest, why are you free to enter the city today?" Chen Gong said.

"Chen Kongmu, I am helpless. The academy is in a difficult situation. Most students and students have no intention of studying and go their separate ways."

"Myongdong, it's useless to find me."

"Chen Kongmu, don't worry, what I want you to do is not difficult. Can you ask Jiang Zhizhou to divide 100 hectares of land to provide school fields for the academy, so that the teachers and students of the academy can solve the life crisis." Mingqi said.

At this time, he remembered what Song Jiu said yesterday.

"Mingdong is the longest, how about the Chen family at the foot of Mount Lu?"

"Duke Song, he is a descendant of Chen Shubao in Jiangnan. At the end of the Tang Dynasty, some Chen clans moved to the foot of Mount Lu. Because they were far away from the city and had the surname Wang in Jiangzhou, many of them were officials of the Tang State. The Chen family was lucky to have not been harmed. When Zhang Zhizhou returned to Jiangzhou, he used Chen Gong, a direct descendant of the Chen family, to serve as the official of Confucius."

"Kongmu, who is in charge of the archives... the chief of Mingdong, you enter the city early tomorrow morning, and you ask him to help in the name of learning field and ask Zhang Ji to distribute land to the academy."

"Study field?"

"It is the exclusive arable land allocated to the academy. With the academic field, it can solve the food and vegetables of some teachers and students of the academy, and it can also give students some training, rather than just talking about it on paper. I will take over this problem and then solve it, but you first ask Chen Gong. There are two situations. He agrees in the first situation, and he will not agree in the second situation."

"I still don't understand."

"I came to Jiangzhou for two days and found out some news, but it was limited. I would be of great use to Chen Gong. But I was also afraid. It was not wrong to recruit merchants from Jiangbei to come. I have done similar measures in Guangnan, but Jiangzhou has now changed its nature. If Chen Gong is wrapped up with them and accepts bribes, his tribe's place is not far from the academy, and your fame is still there, you will easily agree and give you a face. Then don't do anything to avoid alarming the snake."

"Won't."

"Just be on the verge of in case. I know, it won't be. His family is in Jiangzhou. When he sees the tragic situation of the people in Jiangzhou, he has grudges in his heart. There are more than a dozen senior provincial officials in the state yamen, most of whom are from Jiangbei. Even if there is a bribe, he will most likely not get it. He has hatred in his heart. Because he is from Jiangzhou, he will usually be excluded and resentful. But in the face of the situation in Jiangzhou, he has to dare not speak out, in order to seek peace in the whole clan."

"I understand. If this is the case, he will not agree."

Mingqi looked up at Chen Gong.

"Mingdong is the leader, it's too late for me to protect myself, so how dare I agree to you? But don't worry, I will tell you, it's just that there is too much land, that's one hundred acres..."

"Sure enough, I'll show you a letter." Mingqi took out a letter from his arms.
