Yang Xuan came in and found that the atmosphere was not right.
"I met the deputy envoy."
The scholars saluted.
Zhuang Qin knew that Li Wenmin had a mean temper, so he took advantage of the situation and complained, "This gentleman said that it is useless to study those classics."
If these words reach the ears of those knowledgeable people, I am afraid it will trigger a debate and turn Li Wenmin into a scumbag.
The scholars were stunned when Yang Xuan opened his mouth, "It's useless to talk about such things. Now that you're here, you can communicate with the students."
Zhuang Qin was stunned, "Deputy envoy..."
Qian Shi was now sure that Zhuang Qin's purpose in coming to Northern Xinjiang was impure!
Yang Xuan seemed not to know this, "What? Do you want to discuss some knowledge?"
Zhuang Qin said subconsciously: "I don't dare!"
After saying this, he realized that he was embarrassed.
But looking at the expressions of those scholars, it was clear that they thought it was normal.
Several of Yang Xuan's poems were widely circulated outside. These scholars thought that they did not have such talent, so they came forward to discuss knowledge with Yang Xuan. Wouldn't that be humiliating themselves?
Yang Xuan nodded, "I'm just here to take a look, you can take your time and take a look."
He had a lot of things to do these days, so when he was about to come in, there were other officials outside asking for instructions.
"Deputy envoy, the price of food dropped by three cents today."
"Harvest!" Yang Xuan said as he walked out: "Tell Mr. Liu that the Jiedushi government will provide money to raise the price of grain. It will be a good harvest. If we can't have a good harvest here, the farmers there will not make money."
He opened his mouth to decide the honor and disgrace of countless people in northern Xinjiang, but he seemed calm and unhurried, which made the scholars feel relaxed and fascinated.
This is what we should do!
Tan Jin took them to the classroom.
"This is a scholar from Chang'an. He came to the state today to study and discuss knowledge with you and others."
Qian Shi found that these students had different identities. Some had thick and dark faces, which indicated that they were from poor families, while others had fair and tender skin, which indicated that they had been pampered since childhood...
But everyone was wearing green shirts, and there were no accessories in sight.
Northern Xinjiang actually allows civilians to study in the state?
The scholars were astonished.
Zhuang Qin found a student who seemed to be from a poor background and knelt down opposite him.
"Zhuang Qin!"
"Lin He."
The two of them saluted each other, and after sitting down again, Zhuang Qin asked: "What kind of force did I hear the professor talk about just now..."
"That's the knowledge taught by the deputy envoy." Lin He was very respectful.
"May I ask what is the use of learning?"
"Know the origin of the world."
"That's right..." You are exaggerating too much... Zhuang Qin smiled.
"Look at that!" Lin He stood up and walked to the edge of the podium. There was a homemade fan there. He pulled the rope and the fan rotated rapidly, and everyone felt the cold breeze.
"This is what you can do with the knowledge of the deputy envoy professor. You can also get a lot of things, including food, clothing, housing and transportation..."
"Isn't that the art of craftsmanship?"
Zhuang Qin smiled a little happily.
Lin He came back and sat down with bright eyes, "Why are you studying those classics?"
"If you know how to be a human being, how can you govern the world if you don't learn how to be a human being? How can you assist the king of Zuo?"
Zhuang Qin said: "At the beginning, Emperor Wu once said that the knowledge of our ancestors could make the Tang Dynasty last for thousands of years. Later, we attached great importance to classics and imperial examinations."
"Ten thousand years?"
Zhuang Qin: "..."
Lin He began to fight back, "What does it mean to be a good person? Be polite and honest, and explain the rules clearly and thoroughly.
Since childhood, my parents and relatives have been teaching me how to behave.
When studying, teachers will also teach by words and deeds, is that enough?
You have to think about how to be a human being. You can eat well, but this is northern Xinjiang."
Zhuang Qin sneered, "So what?"
Lin He pointed outside, "In Northern Xinjiang, you have to survive first before you can talk about how to be a good person.
The Northern Liao cavalry are rolling, go talk to them!
According to the teachings in the classics, talk about the value of peace and talk about the consequences of resorting to militarism...who will listen to you!"
Before Zhuang Qin could speak, Lin He continued to retort, "Learning to be a good person, learning to behave like a dog, only knowing about self-interest, learning to forget about family and country, what is the use of such a person?"
Mao Nansheng said: "Don't we need to learn how to be a human being?"
Now that the imperial examination is booming, how many people make a living by relying on those classics. If you dare to say that you shouldn’t study it, those people will become enemies of Northern Xinjiang!
"Should!"
As expected, he is a tough-tempered person!
Zhuang Qin smiled secretly.
Lin He sat up straight, "If you learn it, learn it. Why study hard?"
"The knowledge of the sages is profound and profound, why can't we study it deeply?"
"Those who sweat a lot and forget about food and sleep to study how to be a human being are scholars. The deputy said they are philosophers.
And what should others do? Learn how to do things!"
Lin He said, "The scholars in the world don't think about doing things, but instead think about being a human being. How will these people do things after they become officials?"
"Learn!" someone said.
"I didn't study when I had the opportunity to study in school, but I waited until I became an official to study again." Lin He said angrily: "I want to ask, why do the people in the world deserve to be sacrificed to these ignorant idiots? Practice!"
Well!
This seems to be correct!
Qian Shi's heart moved.
"Ignorance!" Mao Nansheng sneered, "The knowledge of the sages was profound and profound..."
Lin He pointed outside, "Those knowledges may be able to create magical weapons, allowing me, the son of Northern Xinjiang, to have fewer casualties and be able to resist foreign enemies?"
"No!" He pointed to the ground, "But the deputy commander's knowledge can!"
"That kind of knowledge can increase the income of farmers and fill the stomachs of our soldiers and civilians in northern Xinjiang? No!"
"But the deputy envoy's knowledge is great!"
Lin He stood up and looked at the scholars, with disdain in his eyes for the first time, "The deputy envoy said that this world is a jungle, and a group of beasts are looking for food in the forest."
This is Yang Xuan's concept, which he has been instilling in his students.
After he finished his work, he returned to Zhouxue. Just as he was about to go in, he was stopped by Li Wenmin.
"Deputy Ambassador."
"Um?"
Is Lao Li drifting?
Li Wenmin looked intoxicated and pointed inside. "Deputy envoy, please listen to the voices of my students in Northern Xinjiang."
"...The biggest problem with me in the Central Plains is that I put being a human being first. In fact, there is nothing wrong with that, but the terrible thing is that a group of people who only know how to be a human being are in charge of the Tang Dynasty.
They will abandon other knowledge, and they like to use the principles of life to deal with everything.
But those beasts are bloodthirsty and cruel. Are you stupid or bad if you talk to beasts about the principles of life?"
Yang Xuan narrowed his eyes slightly. These words were an expanded and subtracted version of a passage he once said to the students.
Being able to increase or decrease indicates that the student has a thorough understanding.
"Before you learn to be a human being, you must hold a horizontal sword in your hand and have the ability to prevent foreigners from bullying you. Otherwise, that is not learning to be a human being, that is... learning to be a fool!"
These words are shocking!
These words represent the three views of Northern Xinjiang students.
The world is a jungle... The historical knowledge he had learned flashed through his mind, and Qian Shi discovered that it turned out to be true.
Countless invasions by foreign races, countless killings, and countless casualties inflicted on the Central Plains.
In those days, what about the intellectuals who taught people how to behave?
Either he will be killed in vain and his wife and daughter will be humiliated. Or he will run away with the powerful people and run away! All the righteousness he has learned will be lost.
Qian Shi blurted out, "If you want to learn to be a good person, you must first fill your stomach and be able to protect your home! Otherwise, you will be too ambitious and seek your own death!"
A professor came over and said, "Deputy Ambassador."
Yang Xuan asked: "But something happened?"
"It's time to practice."
Yang Xuan nodded and walked in.
"I met the deputy envoy."
The scholars were disgraced, but the students of the state school were in high spirits.
Yang Xuan smiled and said: "If you have a solid warehouse, you will know etiquette; if you have enough food and clothing, you will know honor and disgrace.
You should learn how to be a good person, but with a powerful enemy on your side, the country still puts learning the principles of how to be a good person first when recruiting scholars. What message is this spreading?
This is telling people all over the world that it doesn’t matter if the Tang Dynasty dies, as long as we can be human beings.
Who is more important, a human being or a living person?"
Zhuang Qin said: "Deputy Envoy Yang, today is a prosperous time!"
"A prosperous age? How many displaced people did you see when you went all the way north? They were ragged and hungry, and they were willing to sell their children for a meal. Is this a prosperous age?"
Yang Xuan needs these people to give Beijiang and him a living advertisement, but he must conquer them first.
Zhuang Qin, Jin Yiwei came to report. This person has a complicated background and has some relationship with the mirror.
This was to ruin the reputation of Bei Xinjiang. He Lianyan suggested killing him, but Yang Xuan said it would be better to keep him and slap him in the face!
"Nowadays, outside the Tang Dynasty, there is the Northern Liao Dynasty, and the Southern Zhou Dynasty is the enemy."
"Deputy envoy, isn't Bei Liao about to be defeated?"
Yang Xuan shook his head, "You have to know how many constraints there were on He Lianfeng's personal expedition, so that he had to leave the most elite army in Ningxing.
Otherwise, if he goes to war on the front foot, the ministers on the back foot will take over his lair.
If He Lianchun can sort out the internal conflicts in Bei Liao, then Bei Liao will expand rapidly.
By then, the entire Tang Dynasty will hear the bloodthirsty roars from the north!"
"I see!"
Yang Xuan's words made the scholars realize that what they heard was just a piece of skin. Under this skin, there were many unknown undercurrents.
"Internally, land annexation is everywhere in the Tang Dynasty, but the princes in the temples are turning a blind eye. You will see more and more refugees. When countless people are wandering between starvation and rebellion, this Tang Dynasty will
It’s dangerous.”
Yang Xuan didn't want to talk too deeply to them, "What should we do while we wait?"
Lin He stood up and blushed, "There are also landless refugees in our northern Xinjiang. The deputy envoy led his army to break through the southern city of Gui, which shocked the northern Liao Dynasty, and then ordered the people to go to the north to farm. This is called looking for external solutions to internal conflicts.
If there is no land inside, let’s look outside.
The world is so big! There is no shortage of land!"
"Looking for solutions outside?" Qian Shi clenched his fists, his heart racing.
He looked at the scholars, most of them were like this.
The people of the Tang Dynasty were full of enthusiasm, but the meat-eaters ruined the culture, so that everyone was proud of studying and ashamed of joining the army.
Yang Xuan looked at Lin He with a smile, and Han Ji outside the door whispered: "Write down this student's name."
Jiang He'er nodded and looked for the professor to ask questions.
Inside, Yang Xuan said: "The state school is just practicing, you can come and take a look."
The subsequent drills were conducted in accordance with military drills.
Qian Shi volunteered, "Deputy envoy, can we follow you and practice together?"
"You guys?" Yang Xuan smiled, "That's fine."
Run first.
Not long after the beginning, Qian Shi started to feel a little overwhelmed.
Halfway through, most of the scholars fell behind.
But look at those students from the state schools, they are still running calmly.
Next came formation drills, as well as sword and gun practice.
After finishing, the students hurriedly went back to class.
None of the scholars could stand. Regardless of their restraint, they sat on the ground panting like an ox. If they had to worry about face, they would probably lie on the ground and stretch out their corpses.
"Why!"
Qian Shi stopped Lin He, "Don't you want to rest?"
Lin He said: "The enemy will not let you rest!"
Qian Shi was stunned, "You are a student!"
Lin He said: "In front of foreigners, I am a man!"
Qian Shi stood there blankly.
Someone whispered, "But Deputy Envoy Yang doesn't obey His Majesty's orders!"
Lin He turned around and looked at him, "Your Majesty's order? Last time, Your Majesty ordered Zhang Chumao to come to Northern Xinjiang and wanted him to take charge of Northern Xinjiang.
This man led a large army to attack, and when he encountered the enemy's vanguard, he collapsed at the first touch.
I dare to ask, if I had listened to His Majesty’s orders, who would Northern Xinjiang belong to today?
Who doesn’t know that His Majesty wants to clean up Northern Xinjiang?
If you ask the people in northern Xinjiang, who doesn't know that Pei Jiu died unjustly?
But His Majesty is still obsessed with cleaning up Northern Xinjiang.
Deputy Ambassador Yang worked hard to maintain peace in northern Xinjiang, but in Chang'an's eyes, nothing could compare to the Purge!
If His Majesty's order is followed, then Deputy Envoy Yang should leave Northern Xinjiang.
So, let me ask, who can take charge of Northern Xinjiang? Who can resist the Northern Liao army? Find me someone."
"There are countless generals in Chang'an!"
"Has the general you mentioned ever fought in a fight? Has he ever defeated a powerful enemy?"
Well!
The Tang Dynasty has been fighting between Northern Xinjiang and Southern Xinjiang.
This is a consensus that southern Xinjiang is not as good as northern Xinjiang.
The military envoy of Southern Xinjiang was Zhang Chumao, who was regarded by the soldiers and civilians of Northern Xinjiang as a fool who was the leader of the defeated army.
So, who can take charge of Northern Xinjiang?
"Last time, His Majesty wanted the Minister of Dali Temple to take over as Deputy Envoy of Jiedu. So, who would he send to take over? Let the Minister of Dali Temple, who has never killed anyone in his life, take over, or which of his confidants?"
"Lin He!"
The professor frowned inside the door.
"Come here!" Lin He finally said: "The deputy envoy once said that only the people have a say whether the government is doing well or not.
I, Bei Xinjiang, think the deputy envoy is good, but he thinks it is not good.
What did he think the good people had done? They made the world miserable and displaced people everywhere.
What's this……
Foolish king!"
"Lin He!" The professor's voice was stern, but no matter how he looked at it, he agreed with this sentence.
Foolish king!
The students in Beijiang actually shouted the slogan "Hunjun".
God!
But Qian Shi felt...it made sense!
Suddenly cheers came from outside. "We have captured the prisoner. Look, he is still a general!"
Everyone couldn't help but follow the cheers and walked out.
A group of Northern Liao prisoners came over dejectedly.
The people on both sides looked at them with contempt.
This is the Northern Liao army that makes Changan afraid!
But in the eyes of these northern Xinjiang people, they have become lambs to be slaughtered.
Who brought all these changes?
Qian Shi and others couldn't help but look at Yang Xuan and others at the other end of the long street.
Yang Xuan had just come out and was about to go home.
"Deputy envoy, they took a group of prisoners."
A general reported.
"Well done!" Yang Xuan nodded.
The group of prisoners came over.
Pu Tong knelt down, trembling all over.
"What are they afraid of?" asked a scholar.
Tan Jin said: "Are they afraid of the deputy envoy?"
"This is from Beiliao!"
Tan Jindan said calmly: "We are from Northern Xinjiang! We are from the Tang Dynasty! According to the deputy envoy, we, the Tang Dynasty people, should hold our heads high and let the foreigners bow their heads!"
"Let them build the road!" Yang Xuan said.
"Thank you, Deputy Ambassador Yang!"
"Long live Deputy Ambassador Yang!"
The captives were overjoyed.
Zhuang Qin's trip was considered a complete failure, and he couldn't help but sarcastically said: "I want to be the emperor!"
"Shut up!"
Zhuang Qin was drunk and said in shame: "Who?"
"I!"
Qian Shi stood up and walked up to Tan Jin, "I want to stay in Northern Xinjiang!"
Tan Jin was stunned, "Why is this?"
This is not included in the content arranged by the boss.
"I also want to stay in Northern Xinjiang!"
Scholars came up one by one.
Qian Shi said: "Follow Deputy Envoy Yang to defend the country and guard the borders, which scares the foreigners!"
