Chapter II Exploiting Policy Loopholes

In this case, the Legalists took a unique approach and summoned their disciples to discuss it. However, in the name of "educating the barbarians", they began to give up the Central Plains and sent out all the outstanding disciples in the academy to seize the corners and open the academy in the border areas.

At that time, this move could be said to be a sign of voluntary giving up, but now it seems that it is deeply the essence of Go's "golden horns, silver edges, grass belly".

The Legalists were able to occupy the mainstream trend in the Western Rong at this time, and their influence was vaguely comparable to the Five Destiny Academy, which was due to this wonderful game of chess that year.

At this time, Lin Fengjin was going to Fangkang County, where there was a place where the Legal disciple Shen Dao responded to the call of the Legalists and successfully established the academy called Tianchang Academy, which was taken by the two core ideas of the Legalists, "The sky does not change its normality, and the earth does not change its principles."

Although the Legalists were actually forced out of the heartland of the Central Plains by Confucianism, they certainly would not admit this. Therefore, the slogan "Take the barbaric land on its own initiative and educate the barbarians" must be kept on their lips all the time, and even if it is superficial, they must do it. Therefore, there must be ethnic minority students in the academy.

However, if you really use conventional requirements to assess admission for minority students of appropriate age, you are afraid that the so-called education of barbarians will be just empty talk.

To be honest, the Central Plains culture at that time was indeed far ahead of the rest of the corner areas. The education received by the Han children was indeed better.

Therefore, when recruiting external disciples, the Legalists' requirements will be relaxed when recruiting external disciples. This behavior is similar to the policy that ethnic minority college entrance examination candidates can get extra points before Lin Fengjin travels.

It is precisely because of this that when Lin Fengjin sadly realized that all major academies lacked interest in their old childhood, he gained inspiration from various cheating methods derived from the college entrance examination in his previous life, so he chose the most effective and shameless one.

That is to change the household registration... Go to Tianchang Academy as the local Dongman identity--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

So Lin Fengjin is now considered a disciple of Tianchang Academy. Although the disciples strictly mentioned the two adverbials "not reported" and "outer gate", no matter what, he finally found his next home before school started. To be honest, such behavior is like a woman marrying herself at the age of 29:9. But it is also imperative, otherwise, she would have wasted her youth in vain.

***

Lin Fengjin did not bring many people when he went out. A book boy and four guards were necessary, and Lin De also wanted to follow him together-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In addition, when Lin De was seriously injured in his neck, Liu Zhi, who was taking care of him, was also taken with him because Lin De thought this woman was pretty good. Not to mention her gentleness and considerateness, her butt and waist looked easy to raise. After Liu Zhi ran away, she was also bullied and wanted to have a man to shelter from the wind and rain, so the two naturally hit it off.

Because many rivers have not yet been thawed, all the people can only ride on carriages. The Lin family was very familiar with all the roads. Knowing that there were no dangers along the way, they were very relieved to Lin Fengjin's safety.

Fangkang County was originally located in a remote area, and it was a bit chaotic and turbulent, but the Legal Academy had been in charge for a full thirty years and educated the people in the local area. Whether it was barbarians or Han people, the prestige was very high, so there were fewer bandits, so there were no need to worry about safety.

Therefore, Lin Fengjin started on March 14th with the old man's nagging and the concerns of his concubines. He entered Fangkang County on April 11th and learned from the Xuezheng Department of the county town that because of the abnormal celestial phenomena this year and heavy snow covered the road, the school start time of the inner disciples of the academy was extended from March 12th to April 15th, and the outer disciples were extended from April 15th to May 1st. If there is any extension, the punishment will be given based on the origin.

So Lin Fengjin slowed down his pace and started to travel along the way, and checked if there were any specialties that were convenient for doing business and earning travel expenses.

At this time, the government did not encourage going out to work or travel. Only officials have the privilege of going out. Otherwise, the people would have to open a "road guide", otherwise they would have to move around dozens of miles in a village. People who have never left the county and died in the countryside in their lifetime can be said to be everywhere.

Of course, at this time, the traffic is not developed and people are not allowed to move everywhere. So what should I do if I trade daily necessities? Usually it is a market, but the market is often opened on the 1st and 15th day of the lunar month. Besides, there are also roads where legs and feet are inconvenient to walk. What should I do if there is a shortage of oil, salt, fire, wax?

Therefore, some people have taken advantage of this business opportunity and have the profession of peddlers who traveled to villages and villages, similar to the popular convenience store now. They will bring some needles, paper, fire wax, and oil and salt to sell. The business is often very good, and the goods are delivered to the door. However, the risk is also high, mainly because of hard work, and secondly, danger is easy to encounter robbery.

Lin Fengjin and his group did not come for business, and they also like to explore the horizon. Fortunately, the guide Huang, who was hired, was also a "ground ghost". When his family was famine, he used to be a peddler. He worked in Fangkang County for ten years and was very familiar with the roads, so he did not follow the official roads. He took some relatively remote but beautiful routes.

When there were four or five days left before the academy, it was a sunny day. After Lin Fengjin visited Pearl Spring, a local scenic spot, he rushed a few miles away from the warmth of the sunset, and then missed the town where he stayed. In fact, this was nothing big.

Because although the Dong people and Han people live together along the way, the villages are scattered. According to the experience of Old Man Huang who was driving, there is a Dong people village three miles ahead. Dong people are simple and spending a little more time staying there for a night.

The terrain of Fangkang County is not a plain, but it cannot be described as steep or rugged. The rays of sunset are endless ups and downs. The surfaces of these hills with gentle lines are withered and yellow, but if you look closer, a little bit of new green has emerged from the withered and yellow solemnity.

On the hills behind him, there were farmers who were holding on to their fatigue, continued to wave their hoes in the faint smell of cooking smoke, and dug out terraces or tea gardens on this barren land. The life trajectories of his and his ancestors overlapped at this time, and this was the hard work day after day, and at the same time, they were strongly looking forward to the good weather this year, and then took away more or less harvest from the land in autumn.

Seeing this poetic and picturesque scene, Lin Fengjin did not feel any literati's feelings. He was actually a utilitarian at heart and liked to choose the fastest shortcut to reach his destination.

For the very realistic Lin, even if he recites poems and essays, he must have a strong purpose and benefits. He either uses it to win the hearts of beautiful women or win more reputations for himself. Therefore, he said to the old man Huang in front of him impatiently:

"The road seems to be endless, and the scenery is surprisingly monotonous. How long will it take to get there?"

Old Man Huang smiled and said:

"You will be here after turning this mountain, young master."

It only took a cup of tea to turn over this mountain. What appeared in front of Lin Fengjin was a village built on the mountains.

The buildings in this village are all in the form of small stiles, mainly made of wooden and covered with tiles, similar to the stilt houses in later generations.

Usually, people live upstairs, and the lower floors are kept to raise poultry and livestock. Some are from wealthy families, and there are also pounding nests, mills, etc. on the upper floors. There are fire pits in the main hall. Most of them have tiles with local characteristics above the houses, which look full of the flavor of foreign races.

After walking a few miles, the group of people had already arrived at a place not too far from the village. They could already hear wisps of sound coming from there. If they were carefully distinguished, it was the music mixed with horse bone Hu, wood leaves, gourd Hu, and bangzi.

However, the sound of the instruments under the setting sun did not feel melodious. On the contrary, when it fell into Lin Fengjin's ears that were several times more sensitive than ordinary people, it was filled with desolation, sorrow, and even indescribable despair, just like a person who knew he would die and howled a terrifying cry!

"Something is not right." Lin Fengjin frowned and said, "Old Huang, are the people in Dong eating very late?"

Old Man Huang said in confusion:

"No, unless they are singing or singing the master's opera, they will have a lot of flames at that time, barbecue and drink, singing and dancing at night. But now it is the spring plowing season. In order to save fuel, they must prepare supper before dark and finish the meal, and use the hot pot and stove to finish the housework."

Lin Fengjin nodded and stopped talking, but he still leaned on the carriage casually. Lin De, who was cold, black and thin next to him, moved his body quietly as if his arms were numb. For some reason, it seemed that something nervous in the air was quietly fermenting and growing quietly.

Only then did Old Man Huang realize that in the village in front of him, in which he had at least two or three hundred households, there was not even a trace of smoke rising!! (To be continued...)
