Guide to Traveling through the Northern Song Dynasty.

Chapter 315 0310 [Two kicks over the earthly road]

One after another, the gifts were carried to the Seven Star Academy, and they were all given by officials and rich families in Guizhou.

It seems that Ju Ming learned from this that he has seen all kinds of luxury items, so wealthy households often choose to present souvenirs.

Zhu Ming didn't bother to refuse, he only accepted Shu Xiu.

"What kind of wine is old wine? Why does everyone give away a jar?" Zhu Ming asked while looking at the gift list.

Cai Yi, Shang Yongzhi and other officials also came to congratulate. The former said: "The brewed wheat koji is a specialty product in Guangxi, especially in Guizhou. Gentlemen's families must brew it every year. They use it for weddings, funerals, and entertaining distinguished guests." liquor."

Shang Yongzhi said: "The previous reception was successful, so I drank old wine. There is also a kind of ancient hot spring, medicinal wine, which comes from the hands of barbarians in the mountains. It is reddish in color and can prevent miasma."

Ju Ming finds all kinds of native goods rare.

He actually saw the cucurbit silk, which is similar in appearance to the later generations, except that people in Song Dynasty called it Hu Lusheng.

There is also a Lusha, with eight pipes vertically and one pipe horizontally, similar to the pan flute, which is said to be a musical instrument of the Yao nationality.

Among the gifts, most of them are Yao goods.

In the Song Dynasty, the Yao nationality was mostly written as "Yi nationality" and "Yao nationality". The Shuyao people around Guilin have not yet been ruled by the government and do not need to pay taxes and serve, so they get along more harmoniously with the Han people.They often go down the mountain to sell goods, and the merchants transport them to the north to sell them, so they get what they need.

Asking Zhang Tong, Li Bao, Guan Sheng and others to move the gifts to the warehouse, Zhu Ming asked Zeng Xiaoduan: "How many local students are there?"

"There are already 76 people," Zeng Xiaoduan said, "the oldest is 28 years old, and the youngest is 13 years old. Some of them are even studying in state schools and county scholars."

On the same day, after celebrating the inauguration ceremony of the academy, Ju Ming started his first tour.

Not far away, it is on the other side of Seven Star Mountain.

Cai Yi and Shang Yongzhi led the team, and Zhu Ming led many students to visit Longyinyan by boat.

You can go straight into the cave by boat. The interior is tall and broad, and there are hidden dragon traces on the top of the cave.

Zhu Ming didn't see much of it, but Cai Yi insisted that it was in the shape of a dragon, and it had an enhanced effect of swaying water.After staring at it for a long time, Zhu Ming can only admit that it is a dragon, so that it can match the scenic spots.

There is a cave in front of you, and you can meet the temple halfway up the mountain.

The abbot was an old monk named Yizhen. He folded his palms together and bowed: "Longyin Temple is adjacent to Qixing Academy. From now on, Master Zhu Shan will often come to drink tea."

"It's easy to say." Ju Ming smiled.

He doesn't hate any religion, as long as he doesn't get too much secular.

This Longyin Temple is not bad, it does not build temples, nor does it annex land.They use caves as Buddhist halls and live by collecting incense money. There are only a few monks in total.

There is a Buddhist niche carved into the rock wall, and Zhu Ming went to do as the Romans do, and he also went up to worship a few times.

Then he went to visit other places. Monk Yizhen pointed to a corner of the cave and said, "There are trekking poles over there."

It is estimated that people often come to visit. Longyin Temple has prepared a bunch of trekking poles and provided them to tourists for free. Anyway, he has enough money for incense.

Zhu Ming and his students all went to fetch sticks, while Cai Yi and other senior traveling friends came prepared.

Zeng Gongyan and other places of interest have been visited one after another.

Fang Tingshi had a great time. He hadn't been here much before, and he seemed to be dragged into the water as a donkey friend.

Fan Zhiming asked questions. When Yuezhou collected the wine tax, he also liked to travel around, and he also wrote history and humanities into the book.

After climbing only one mountain, it became dark, and there were villages in the mountain, and everyone went to fill their stomachs.

The so-called village is no more than a dozen families.

But life is not bad, often entertain tourists, prepare meals to earn some extra money.Officials don't come to exploit, otherwise, if the prefect travels to the mountains, where can he find a place to eat and stay?

"Wow wow wow!"

As soon as Zhu Ming entered the village, the local dogs barked.

Dogs are also bullying and fearful. Seeing how many people they have, they only bark their teeth and bark from a distance, not daring to rush over and bite people.

Shang Yongzhi is very familiar with this place, and has sent his followers over to make preparations in the afternoon.They brought their own drinks and lit a bonfire in the village, and the villagers came over with baskets and food.

The accompanying people, some of whom knew folk art, also sang slang songs to add to the fun.

After eating, it was past eight o'clock in the evening, and the trip was not over yet. Cai Yi took Zhu Ming to go on a night tour of the Lijiang River.

These Guizhou officials really enjoy themselves.

They had already prepared the boat, and there were local courtesans on board, and many students crammed into the cabin, even those Tai students became happy.

Traveling in mountains and rivers can always make people forget their sorrows.

A few jars of old wine were brought out, everyone toasted and drank, and then began to carry out the wine order.

Half-drunk, Cai Yi said: "Today I have a good swim, and I have not yet written a poem. Now I will write a poem, and I will have it carved on the rock wall."

"Yes, yes, yes," Shang Yongzhi quickly echoed, and said triumphantly, "I have already carved six poems on the rock wall near Guizhou."

I am ashamed to say that if you engrave letters in tourist attractions, you will have to pay a fine after hundreds of years.

Only a few local students followed, and they all looked at Ju Ming at this time.

They had known that Mr. Zhu was good at rhetoric, and they had read the masterpieces in the past few days, and now they are waiting for Zhu Ming to reveal his hand.

Even the famous courtesan who sang the song looked expectantly.

Zhu Ming said: "Don't dare to ignore the good intentions of the gentlemen and use pen and ink."

The courtesan immediately got up to study the ink, holding a pen and paper and looking at each other happily.

Ju Ming took advantage of the wine and didn't bother to make big changes, just make do with it: "Born in nature, I went to Guizhou with a bamboo stick in my hand. The rice basket greeted the waning moon at dawn, and the song board sang late autumn in the wind. Kicked the road of the world with both feet. , carrying all the worries of the past and the present on one shoulder. Why should the village dog bark endlessly now that they are not fed by sighs?"

"Wonderful!"

The people next to him cheered.

No one cares that it is late winter at this time, not late autumn in the poem.

This is about having dinner in the village before, mixed with Ju Ming's life experiences, describing the feelings and scenes, combining reality and reality.

Mingmian is complaining about the village dog, but he is actually satirizing the traitor.

Fan Zhiming was probably drunk, so he tilted his body and said, "But I'm not that free and easy. As the deputy envoy of the regiment training, I'm still receiving the salary from the imperial court."

Cai Yi said: "Choose a good place tomorrow and engrave this poem on Qixing Mountain."

Zhu Ming had a good time playing today, got drunk with him, and fell asleep in the painting boat.

The next day, I returned to the academy and started to get busy with business.

He wants to write school rules and regulations, that is, gambling is not allowed, which is relatively loose, and will not interfere too much with students' words and deeds.

There is also the matter of class division. There are some underage students, and it is impossible for Ju Ming to teach in person.Organize them into elementary classes and let Tai students take turns to substitute for them.

There is also the determination of the schedule and subjects, and physical exercise cannot be delayed.

The set of gymnastics taught by Xue Daoguang is used as gymnastics for students to practice, and they have to do a set every morning.

For each class, the class leader is elected by the students, and the shift changes every month.The president of the student council is also elected to assist in the management of the school.These arrangements also exist in Taixue, and they were not thought up by Zhu Ming.

The property donated by wealthy families is managed by the students, and Ju Ming does not take it for his own use.

Even the school meals are not planned to hire a cook, and the students take turns to cook.Zhu Ming and the followers of the students can help, and those who are willing to study can also attend the lectures.

Teachers and students run the school together, the style of study is very free, pay attention to labor practice, and usually help with farming.

In the blink of an eye, it was New Year's Eve, and Zhu Ming celebrated the New Year with his students.

There was also a Lantern Festival in Guizhou, and Cai Yi and his gang of officials forced Zhu Ming to watch the lanterns.

At the end of the Lantern Festival, Qixing Academy officially started, and an official ship came to Guizhou.

The official who delivered the official document went straight to the prefectural and county yamen.

Song Huizong issued an imperial decree to officially abolish the Sanshe Law!
If the prefectural schools and county schools all over the country existed in the Yuanfeng period, they will still be retained.The official schools built after Yuanfeng, as well as the official affiliations of Biyong, Zongxue and Zhulu Tiju were all abolished.

That is to say, the four-level education system has retreated to the state of the Yuanfeng period, and Cai Jing's educational system reforms have all been abolished.

All the students were cleared, and the teachers returned to Beijing to wait for vacancies.

Taixue still implements the Sanshe method, and you can continue to take the Taixue exam, but no longer continue to recruit students.

The principals and teachers in Guizhou are stupid. They have not been dismissed, but it is worse than direct dismissal.

After the abolition, they can return to Beijing to fill in the vacancies.

Doing this now is tantamount to being left in Guizhou.Their students can no longer raise tribute, and all have to take the imperial examination, and their political achievements are judged by the number of Jinshi admitted.

After the news came out, a large number of scholars dropped out of school and went back to private schools one after another.

Because the subjects taught by the State School are messy, and the teaching is even more complicated than that of Ju Ming's Seven Star Academy.Mixed with courses such as "Tao Te Ching", "Nan Hua Jing" and "Lie Zi", these were forgotten to be cancelled.

After some scholars dropped out of school, they came to Qixing Academy to attend classes, and Zhu Ming's place became more and more prosperous.

It's just that there are not enough teachers, he and Fan Zhiming can't teach them well.

Moreover, there is a lack of school buildings and dormitories, and later students cannot live on campus.

Fan Zhiming was speechless to the court, and couldn't help complaining: "This time, there is no sign of giving up the law of three homes. How can the teachers and students of government schools adapt to it? Many decrees are suddenly revived and then abandoned. This is not the way to govern the country!"

Zhu Ming smiled and said: "The imperial court is short of money. The government and schools will return to the Yuanfeng system, and more than half of the schools in the country will be abolished, which can save countless money every year. And what is abolished is Cai Jing's political achievements. Of course, Wang Fu must do his best to promote it. Thinking, the emperor is to save money, and Wang Fu is to attack Cai Jing."

Guangxi is nothing, but the people in Jiangsu and Zhejiang are going crazy.

Although the Fang La uprising has not been completely suppressed, it is basically impossible to stand up. Even Fang La himself fled to the mountainous areas of Jiangxi and Fujian.

Therefore, Song Huizong couldn't wait to restore the Yingfeng Bureau, and Hua Shigang started it again.

In order to raise military expenses for Tong Guan, Chen Hengbo, the envoy of the economic system of the two Zhejiang provinces and the east of the Yangtze River, proposed to collect money for the economic system in Jiangsu and Zhejiang.

That is to say, to increase the tooth tax for selling wine, selling houses, and selling land, and to levy additional money for the boss outside the regular tax, as well as taxes on some other items.

The targets of the tax increase cover all walks of life, and merchants, landlords, citizens, and farmers should not even think about running away.

The people of Jiangsu and Zhejiang were miserable. They were looted first by Fang La, and then by the officers and soldiers.

What about the edict of guilt?
Tong Guan himself has returned to Tokyo, and asked his subordinates to continue chasing and suppressing Fang La's remnants.

Tong Guan agreed with the collection of economical money. After all, money is really needed for war.

But the sudden resumption of Hua Shigang's matter, even Tong Guan felt incredible, and advised Song Huizong: "The southeast people's rice cooker is not stable, so do this evil again?"

Song Huizong was furious, and Tong Guan was convicted because of this, so he had to double please the emperor.
