It was useless to defend all the people at the mouth of the tiger. Seeing that the officers and soldiers did not attack directly, Yang Ying ordered the bandits to take turns to defend, and in the evening he called all the leaders to discuss matters.

There are nine chairs, Yang Ying is sitting in the middle, with four sides in two rows.

The son of the former leader Yang Jun is nineteen years old this year and is sitting in the third seat. He is taciturn and never speaks, and his heart is full of fear. He is afraid of both officers and soldiers and his relatives.

"Why is this name when Killing Tiger's mouth?"

Yang Ying looked confident: "Even if a tiger comes, it will be dead. The officers and soldiers this time are better at fighting than before. But if they can fight again, can tigers be powerful? Can they fly over with wings?"

"Dad is right. If you keep the killing of the tiger's mouth, the officers and soldiers will have no choice!" Only his second son supported him.

Yang Ying continued: "The food has been moved up the mountain, so we can afford it. The officers and soldiers cannot afford it. The officials are reluctant to leave the food and grass. If they drag him for a month, the magistrate will definitely urge the soldiers to promote them. If the officers and soldiers are urged by the magistrate, how can they not risk their lives to attack? As long as they attack, they will surely die miserably. At that time, we will take advantage of the situation to kill them, and we will definitely not escape any officers and soldiers!"

"Dad is a good plan!" The son continued to support him.

"Brother, you have a good plan!"

The leaders followed suit, but at least they were not completely unlucky.

Yang Ying was talking nonsense again, and it was nothing more than a bandit who would win, and officers and soldiers would be defeated.

The leaders dispersed, half went to defend and kill the tiger's mouth, and the other half went home to rest and prepare for the battle.

The Fourth Head's House was wandering around and quietly searching for the Fifth Head's House in the middle of the night. Both of them were old people and had already formulated a plan to decree.

In the darkness, the Sizhuan whispered: "Do you believe in the government?"

"I believe it only by fools," said the fifth leader disdain, "We have done many beheadings, and when we are caught, we will definitely beheaded. Whatever protects the land and what kills Yang Ying, they are rewarded with heavy rewards, are all tricks used by the officers and soldiers!"

The Siding Family asked, "What if it is true?"

The five leaders remained silent.

The Fourth Head Office said again: "The officers and soldiers who came back this time are different from before. I am afraid they can fight very well. I must guard it. It is best to be able to defend it. I mean, if I can't defend it, I can't accompany Yang Ying to die."

"I really can't defend myself. I will lead my troops to kill Yang Ying, and I may be able to make contributions to save my life." The fifth head of the family said.

The Siding Family said, "I have a way."

The fifth head of the army hurriedly asked, "What method?"

The Fourth Head said, "I will discuss with Yang Ying first. I will send someone to surrender and act like a counterfeit village. The officers and soldiers will definitely take the opportunity to attack the village and then cover it up. We will not fight with the officers and soldiers for the first time, but only let Yang Ying's men take action. If the officers and soldiers are defeated, we will fight the officers and soldiers together and find another opportunity to deal with Yang Ying. If Yang Ying is defeated, we will kill Yang Ying and surrender to the government to fight for a background."

The fifth leader was so impressed by this plan that he exclaimed, and exclaimed: "Why are you so smart? I am really convinced."

"You have to pretend to be more like a little and deceive both the government and Yang Ying," said the Fourth Head again. "You have to choose to pretend to be angry at night, so they can't see clearly. Maybe they can defeat the officers and soldiers again, and kill Yang Ying in the chaos."

"I'll listen to my brother!" The fifth head of the family sincerely admired.

The next day, Zhu Ming held his troops and waited for Zhang Guangdao to attack him in surprise.

The Fourth Head went to Yang Ying to explain the plan to sue.

Yang Ying thought about it and thought that this was feasible. He was afraid that the Siding Family would really surrender, so he arranged for his confidant to set up an ambush and put the people of the Siding Family behind him. At the same time, he let the Siding Family follow him alone and could not directly command his subordinates.

Then it was agreed that people would send ropes to go down the cliff to find officers and soldiers to surrender.

After several teams of officers and soldiers passed through the tiger's mouth, they immediately threw rocks and blocked the officers and soldiers from front to back. Then the entire army caught him off guard.

...

Yangzhou City.

A few days ago, a high-ranking official came, and even the judge Li Tong, who was busy raising taxes, went with the prefect to accompany him diligently.

This official's surname is Lu and his name is Rong. He is the chief officer of the Lizhou Lutiju Academy Department, and is abbreviated as Lutixue.

If it were placed in the Ming Dynasty, the position of the Examination Envoy was generally held by the Censorate Deputy Envoy. However, the Examination Envoy in the Song Dynasty was an independent institution and directly obeyed the Ministry of Rites.

Not only did the scholars give more power, but even the provincial teachers in each state had a higher value than the Ming and Qing dynasties. The provincial teachers in the Song Dynasty must have been from Jinshi. All the provincial teachers in the Ming Dynasty were Juren and tribute students.

Especially in the Huizong Dynasty, Cai Jing presided over the education reform and had higher requirements for provincial teachers.

If you want to be a professor of state studies (principal), then it is even more strict. You must be a first-class Jinshi, or a top ten in the national examination, or a top five in the provincial government examination, or an outstanding graduate of the Imperial Academy. This kind of background can be entered into the Hanlin Academy in the Ming Dynasty.

Let me put it this way, if any teacher in Yangzhou takes out any of them, he can beat the magistrate to the magistrate in terms of education. If they are transferred to local officials, they will at least start as magistrates, or serve as chief clerks near the capital, and their promotion speed is super fast.

But this Lu Tixue specializes in supervising the state school teacher!

Every April to August, it is the time for the envoy of the Tixue to inspect the states. Lu Tixue first went to Xingyuan Prefecture and then took a boat to Yangzhou.

The first three days, I had been traveling around, the magistrate, the magistrate, and the professor accompanied him throughout the whole process.

The hospitality fee is reimbursed by the government, and the annual public money (entertainment fee) in Yangzhou is 4,000 jin, and it can also be used to lend money. Wang Anshi and Cai Jing's trade laws were also used by local officials to lend, forcing merchants to borrow money from the government.

On the fourth day, the magistrate arranged opera.

Lu Ti Xue watched the opera while having wine, and asked about the situation of scholars in Yangzhou.

Professor Gong (Principal) took the opportunity to say, "Since the official Lu Xueshi asked, I would like to recommend a scholar from Eight Lines. This person's surname is Zhu, his courtesy name is Chenggong, and he is only fifteen years old, but he has already understood the Three Classics."

"What happened?" Lu Tixue was quite surprised.

There were many prodigy in the Song Dynasty, nothing more than "The Analects of Confucius" and "Mencius" who were good at learning, or had poetry talent at a young age. If you can't talk about the three classics in absent manner, you are no longer a prodigy, you can be called a famous scholar.

Punishment Li Tong smiled and said, "The dog went to his classmate's house a few days ago and found the child prodigy in the countryside."

Lu Tixue said curiously: "How do you know that he is well-rounded with the Three Classics?"

Professor Gong said: "Not only can you understand the three classics, but you can also have a new interpretation of the scriptures. Then, take the sentence "A gentleman has virtue, a villain has earth, a gentleman has punishment, and a villain has blessing", and Zhu successfully interpreted it as the word "public and private".

Lu Tixue tasted it and praised it: "It's very wonderful."

Punishment Li Tong also said: "The wise man makes people clear because of their clarity; now he makes people clear because of their clarity. Can the Lu Xueguan know how Zhu Chenggong explained it?"

"Can there be a new solution?" Lu Ti said.

Li Tong smiled and said, "This son explained it as: The way of university is to be clear about one's virtue and impose it on the world and the country. There are few who have any disagreements."

Lu Tixue was able to learn all the way, but his knowledge was not comparable to that of the magistrate. He was awakened by this explanation and instantly linked the three scriptures, clapping his hands and praising him: "What a genius! Even the famous scholars of the world, I am afraid that few of them can interpret the three scriptures in a sentence in a comprehensive way."

Punishment Li Tong continued: "This son not only has profound Confucianism, but also has difficulty in achieving both civil and military affairs. A bandit robbed the countryside, and he killed dozens of bandits alone, and the dog son was lucky to survive."

"There is still this?" Yang Zhizhou was shocked. He only knew that Xixiang County was making trouble, and the magistrate captured Zhu Zhu's chief clerk.

Punishment Li Tong sighed: "The dog is also fighting thieves. He is injured in many places all over his body and almost died there."

Lu Ti said, "Can the thief be wiped out?"

Punishment Li Tong said: "But he was the chief clerk of Xixiang County. He was originally intended to recruit rebels, but now he surrendered and rebelled again. He has been captured by Xixiang County Magistrate."

"Just hold it, you should kill such a thief!" Lu Tixue said hatred.

Li Tongzong said: "This son is both civil and military, so he can be a scholar of the eight abilities. Please recommend one or two to Lu Tixue."

Punishment Li Tong was also impatient by his son. After Li Hanzhang returned to Yangzhou, he said good things about Zhu Ming every day, and he was so yelling that there was nothing in the sky and the earth.

Today I will accompany you to study and have a meal, so I'll just say it by the way.

Lu Tixue knew its meaning, so he asked him to recommend Zhu Ming to study at the Imperial Academy. If he only recommended studying at the State Academy, Li Tongzong could make the decision himself, but he had to study at the Imperial Academy, but he had to study at the Imperial Academy to take the exam.

"Since there are such geniuses, I will definitely give it a try in person." Lu Tixue agreed immediately.

Anyway, he is just recommending it, so why not give Li Tong a face? Whether to approve it or not has to be decided by the Taixue side.

Moreover, Lu Tixue's performance assessment is also closely related to this.

The more Jinshi students were admitted to his jurisdiction, the more scholars they went to study in the Imperial Academy, the better the assessment scores they were, and it was more conducive to future promotions.

In the afternoon of the same day, Lu Tixue visited Yangzhou Prefecture School with alcohol.

The next day, he actually took a boat to Xixiang County in person.

In name, he went to inspect the county school and inspected the eight-handed scholars, but in fact he went to travel around the mountains and rivers.

Lu Tixue is tired of playing in several prefecture cities on Lizhou Road and has not been to a rural area like Xixiang County. The countryside has beautiful mountains and rivers, so I think it is a different place.

At this moment, Zhu Ming was still suppressing bandits.

(It will be released on time at 12 noon tomorrow. Please order the first time. This is very important to Lao Wang. Please ask all your family!)
