Guide to Traveling through the Northern Song Dynasty.

Chapter 77 0073 [Lu Tixue]

It was useless to guard them all at the tiger's mouth. Seeing that the officers and soldiers were not going to attack directly, Yang Ying ordered the bandits to take turns to defend, and in the evening he called all the chiefs to discuss matters.

Among the nine chairs, Yang Ying sits in the middle, with four chairs on both sides.

The son of the former village owner Yang Jun, who is 19 years old this year, sits in the third place.He was taciturn, kept silent, and was filled with fear.He is afraid of officers and soldiers, and also afraid of his uncle.

"Why is Killing Tiger's Mouth called this name?"

Yang Ying looked confident: "Even if the tiger comes, it will die there. The officers and soldiers this time are better at fighting than before. But if they are good at fighting again, are tigers as good as tigers? Can they grow wings and fly over?"

"Father is right, the officers and soldiers will have nothing to do if you guard the mouth of the tiger!" Only his second-in-charge son cheered.

Yang Ying continued: "The food has already been moved up the mountain, and we can afford it. The officers and soldiers can't afford it. The officials are reluctant to part with the food and grass. If they drag him for a month, the magistrate will definitely urge the soldiers. The officers and soldiers were urged by the magistrate, how can we Don’t risk your life to attack? As long as they attack, they will definitely die a miserable death. When the time comes, we will take advantage of the situation and fight back, and none of the officers and soldiers will be able to escape!”

"Father has a good plan!" The son continued to cheer.

"Brother, good plan!"

The Sidang family said: "Consult with Yang Ying first. I will send people to pretend to surrender and pretend that the stronghold is on fire. The officers and soldiers will definitely take the opportunity to attack the stronghold, and then they will cover up and kill them. The two of us will not fight with the officers and soldiers. Yang Ying's people will fight. 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 seek refuge in the government to fight for a family."

The fourth master said, "I have a way."

The official's surname is Lu Mingrong, and he is the chief officer of the Lizhou Road Tiju Academic Affairs Department, referred to as Lu Tixue.

The fourth family wandered around and quietly went to find the fifth family in the middle of the night. Both of them were old people and had already made a plan to abolish the establishment.

Li Tongpan sighed and said: "The dog is also a fighter who fought against the thieves. He was wounded in many places all over his body, and he almost died there."

The next day, Zhu Ming stood still and waited for Zhang Guangdao to sneak around and attack.

"Is there a new solution to this?" Lu Tixue asked.

Li Tongpan said: "It's the master book of Xixiang County. It was originally used to recruit rebels, but now it has surrendered and rebelled. It has been arrested by the magistrate of Xixiang County."

In the darkness, the fourth master whispered, "Do you believe in the government?"

Sidangjia went to Yang Ying and explained his plan to surrender.

After several teams of officers and soldiers passed through the tiger's mouth, they immediately threw falling rocks to block the officers and soldiers back and forth, and then the whole army killed him by surprise.

On the fourth day, Zhizhou arranged opera.

"I listen to my brother!" Wu Dangjia said with admiration from the bottom of his heart.

……

"Idiots believe it," said the fifth family disdainfully, "We have done a lot of beheading business, and if we are caught, we will definitely beheaded. What keeps the property, what kills Yang Ying and there is a reward, these are all tricks used by those officers and soldiers! "

Yang Ying thought about it and felt that this matter is feasible.He was also afraid that the Sidang family would really surrender, so he arranged for his confidants to set up an ambush and put the Sidang family members behind.At the same time, let the fourth master follow him alone, and cannot directly command his subordinates.

Li Tongpan said: "This son is both civil and military. He should be a scholar of the Eight Elements. I also ask Lu Tixue to recommend one or two."

Professor Gong said: "Not only do you have a thorough understanding of the three classics, but you also have new interpretations of the scriptures. Take the sentence 'A gentleman cherishes virtue, while a villain cherishes soil. A gentleman cherishes punishment, and a villain cherishes benefits'. Nazhu successfully interpreted it as The word 'public and private'."

The fifth master remained silent.

Yangzhou City.

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

If you want to be a professor (principal) of state studies, it will be more strict.One must be a first-class Jinshi, or be in the top ten in the national examination, or be in the top five in the state examination and be a Jinshi, or be an outstanding graduate of Taixue—this kind of background can be admitted to the Imperial Academy in the Ming Dynasty.

Immediately afterwards, it was agreed that people would be sent to tie ropes to go down the cliff to find officers and soldiers to feign surrender that night.

Lu Tixue savored it and praised: "Excellent solution."

I'm going to have dinner with the student envoy today, so let me just say it by the way.

"It's good to hold it, this kind of traitor deserves to be killed!" Lu Tixue said bitterly.

Lu Tixue asked curiously, "How do you know that he has mastered the three classics?"

Professor Gong (Principal) took the opportunity to say: "Since Xueguan Lu asked, I would like to recommend a scholar of the Eight Elements. This person's surname is Zhu, and his character is Chenggong. He is fifteen years old, but he has already mastered the Three Classics."

And this Lu Tixue, however, specializes in supervising state school teachers!

That afternoon, Lu Tixue inspected Yangzhou State School with a sense of alcohol.

"You have to pretend to be a little bit, and deceive the government and Yang Ying," said Sidangjia, "you have to pretend to be fighting at night, so that they can't see clearly. Maybe you can kill the officers and soldiers again, and take advantage of the chaos." Kill Yang Ying."

Not only does the promotion of learning give more power, but even the state learning teachers in each state have more gold content than the Ming and Qing dynasties.State school teachers in the Song Dynasty had to be Scholars.In the Ming Dynasty, all state school teachers were Juren and Gongsheng.

Si Dangjia asked: "What if it is true?"

Li Tongpan also said: "The sage makes people shine with his visibility; now he makes people shine with his faintness. Can Xueguan Lu know how Zhu Chenggong explained it?"

From April to August every year, it is the time for Tixue envoys to visit the states.Lu Tixue first went to Xingyuan Mansion, and then went down the river to Yangzhou by boat.

Li Tongpan said with a smile: "This son's explanation is: the way of great learning is to show the virtue of oneself, and to apply it to the world. There are few people who don't follow it."

A few days ago, a senior official came, and even Li Tongpan, who was busy urging taxes, also went with Zhizhou to accompany him attentively.

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

For the first three days, I have been traveling in the mountains and rivers, and the prefect, the judge, and the professor accompanied me all the way.

Li Tongpan was also impatient with being pestered by his son. After Li Hanzhang returned to Yangzhou, he said good things about Zhu Ming every day, and he boasted that there was nothing in the sky.

Wu Dang asked hurriedly, "What method?"

Moreover, Lu Tixue's performance assessment has a lot to do with this.

Lu Tixue knew what he meant, and he was asking him to recommend Zhu Ming to study in Taixue.If he only recommends to study in the state school, Li Tongpan can make the decision himself, but to study in the Taixue, he has to mention the study and test the teaching.

"There is such a thing?" Lu Tixue was quite surprised.

"Is there such a thing?" Yang Zhizhou was taken aback, he only knew that there was a thieves in Xixiang County, and the magistrate captured and killed Master Zhu.

Yang Ying talked nonsense again, nothing more than bandits must win, officers and soldiers must lose and so on.

Hospitality expenses are reimbursed by the government, and Yangzhou's annual public money (hospitality expenses) is fixed at 4000 guan, and it can also be used for usury.Wang Anshi and Cai Jing's commercial laws were also used by local officials to lend money, forcing merchants to borrow money from the government.

Li Tongpan said with a smile: "A few days ago, Gouzi went to a classmate's house as a guest, and found that child prodigy in the countryside."

Li Tongpan continued: "This son not only has profound attainments in Confucianism, but also has both civil and military skills. There were bandits who plundered the village, and he single-handedly killed dozens of bandits. Fortunately, the dog survived."

The leaders followed suit, but at any rate they were not completely silent.

Anyway, he was just recommending, so why not give Li Tong a face?Approval or not, Taixue has the final say.

"If I really can't keep it, I will lead my troops to kill Yang Ying, maybe I can make meritorious service and save my life." Wu Dangjia said.

If it was placed in the Ming Dynasty, the post of Xueshi was generally held by the Deputy Envoy of Inspection.However, the Department of Tixue in the Song Dynasty was an independent institution and directly obeyed the orders of the Ministry of Rites.

There were a lot of child prodigies in the Song Dynasty, but they were either well-learned in "The Analects" and "Mencius", or they were talented in poetry at a young age.And you can't talk about the three classics, you are no longer a child prodigy, you can be called a Confucian.

The Sidang family said again: "The officers and soldiers who have come back here are different from the past. I am afraid they can fight very well. They must defend, and it is best if they can defend. Then Yang Ying will die."

Let's put it this way, if any state school teacher in Yangzhou takes out any one, he can beat the county magistrate in terms of academic qualifications.If they were transferred to local officials, they would at least start as county magistrates, or serve as chief registrars near the capital, and they would be promoted super fast.

"Since there are such geniuses, I will definitely try it myself." Lu Tixue immediately agreed.

Lu Tixue can do it all the way, but his knowledge is not comparable to that of Xiangzhi County.Awakened by this solution, he linked the three scriptures in an instant, and clapped his hands in praise: "What a genius! Even the famous Confucianists in the world, I'm afraid there are not many who can explain a sentence of the three scriptures like this."

The more Jinshi admitted in his jurisdiction, and the more scholars who went to study in Taixue, the better the examination results, which will be more conducive to future promotion.

Hearing this plan, Wu Dangjia was so impressed, he exclaimed: "You are so smart, I am really convinced."

Lu Tixue asked: "Have the thieves been wiped out?"

Lu Tixue was watching a play while drinking, and asked about the situation of the scholars in Yangzhou.

The next day, he went to Xixiang County by boat himself.

In name, it was to inspect the county schools, and by the way, to inspect the Eight Elements Scholars, but in fact it was to visit the mountains and rivers.

Lu Tixue was already tired of studying in several capital cities on Lizhou Road, and had never been to a rural place like Xixiang County.In the countryside, there are beautiful mountains and clear waters, so it's interesting to think about it.

At this moment, Zhu Ming is still suppressing bandits.

(Tomorrow it will be on the shelves at 12:[-] noon. Please make the first order, this is very important to Lao Wang, please family members!)
