Chapter 3 Tianxia Academy

There are lamp posts on the left and right sides, making the inner room of the study clearly visible.

There is nothing else in the inner room. There is a bookshelf against the wall, with three rows of screens in the middle. Each screen is covered with notes. If you look closely, you will see that each note has a personal name written in small characters.

Attached to what the person did, or Zhu Kui's own evaluation.

He walked to the last screen, pulled out the embroidery needle on the cloth, and gently pinned the note about Liyang Prefect in his hand.

Then he returned to the screen in the front row, looked at several notes on it about Ma Jun, looked for it, and pulled out a note that said "Ma Jun, Lianyungang Chariot".

He came to the bookshelf, took out a small brocade box marked Ma Jun, opened it, and put the note in his hand back.

After finishing all this, he clapped his hands, thought about it for a while, and then backed out again and locked the door again.

Only he and his sister have the key to this door. Even Shu Shu'er and Zhao Ying'er don't know about it. For example, he often goes out on weekdays and the inner room needs to be cleaned. Others can't believe it. Only the little sister helps with cleaning and occasionally tidying up for him.

.

It's not that he favors one over the other, but that the younger sister is more clear-minded than Shu Shu'er and Zhao Ying'er, asking less and doing more. The latter is smarter, but also a little more scheming.

In the past two years, Zhu Kui organized the large merchants in Moling to propose the expansion of Moling City, aiming to build it into the first city in Jiangdong, surpassing Wujun County.

At one time, most of the construction work was completed, and Moling City built a large wharf on the bank of the Yangtze River, which was only completed half a year ago.

In addition, the city wall was greatly modified, and the main city gate was changed to the south gate. At the same time, an outer city wall was built from north to south, starting from the pier on the edge, to surround everything. The city wall was seven feet wide and two feet high, and was made of lime and mud.

, very strong.

Lime and mud are what Zhu Kui mentioned. He vaguely remembered that houses in his previous life were made of cement, and cement is lime. Although he didn't know what kind of stone ground the ash into, he told the masons to take various stones and crush them. After several searches, it turned out that

The city wall made of cold water stone ground into gypsum is stronger than water made from glutinous rice. Although the city wall has not yet been completely completed, it can still vaguely resemble the prototype of a giant city.

Two years ago, Tianxia Academy was built. It was originally outside the city, but now after the city wall was expanded, it is now included in the city.

The academy covers an area of ​​ten acres. At the gate is a pair of stone lions as tall as two people, a vermilion gate, and a shining copper ring. Zhu Kui led two tigers, big and small, and three people on horseback to the gate.

There was a middle-aged man with a broken hand in front of the door, dragging a chair and gesticulating with a branch. When he saw Zhu Kui coming, he jumped up quickly, came to the front, knelt on one knee and said, "Lord."

This man was a former personal guard of Zhu Kui. His hand was broken due to the war, so he arranged a job as a janitor at the academy, which was considered a job and also provided a subsidy to his family.

"Has County Magistrate Ma come to teach?"

"Gentlemen, one day at a time, today is really the county magistrate's teaching time. He really loves the people like a son, and even in his busy schedule, he does not forget to teach the children. The class should be over in half an hour." The man with a broken arm said

Looking into the academy, Shang Ke could hear the sound of reciting, and turned around and said, "My lord is here, why don't I call the county magistrate."

"Are the other three gentlemen here?"

"The three gentlemen have all gone out and should go to the lake. They all drove a carriage just now and said they would come back in the evening." The man with the broken arm took the lead and led Zhu Kui and the others inside.

The so-called three teachers are three famous idle hermits in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, namely Wang Lie, Guan Ning and Bing Yuan.

Wang Lie, courtesy name Yanfang, was born in Taiyuan. His young teacher was Chen Shi. He was known for his righteous deeds and did not want to be an official like his teacher. He liked to travel around the world and educate people. The most famous example is that he once persuaded a cattle rustler to change his ways. Make a new start and become a person who can make money without knowing anything...

Bingyuan, whose courtesy name was Genju, was a native of Zhuxu, Beihai. Xun Yu called him a strange person of this generation and the best scholar.

Guan Ning, whose courtesy name was You'an, was also a native of Zhuxu, Beihai. His reputation for cutting seats and cutting off meanings has been passed down through the ages.

All three of them were invited back by Zhu Kui in the name of teaching and educating people, and they taught two hundred children. They were famous people like Hua Xin, Zhi Cai, etc. They liked fame, and they were all people who liked fame, and they were determined to be like Hua Xin. Zheng Xuan is a great scholar of Confucian classics.

Zhu Kui gave them a guarantee that in the future, all the books he collected would be read by three people. If they wanted to write a book, he would also provide all the help. All the paper printing would be supplied. Thousands of books would be produced, and the loss rate of the works would be minimized in the future.

You must know that from the Spring and Autumn Period to the Eastern Han Dynasty, many famous hermits wrote books, but most of them were lost halfway. This is also because of the difficulty of printing. Bamboo slips cannot easily print thousands of copies compared to paper. Since the Tang Dynasty, the preservation rate of documents has been much higher. Most of them have been passed down to this day.

Two years ago, after half a year of distributing books, Zhu Kui discovered that someone had repeatedly received books and then stolen and sold them to others. He had originally planned to stop distributing books, but he happened to use this opportunity to exchange the ancient unique copies for the right to permanently receive books.

A large library was built behind the academy, and Zhu Kui manages it in a library model. Currently, only those who have contributed to the construction of the library are allowed access to the library.

After Zhu Kuiping retreated from the broken-backed man, he walked slowly and lightly around the academy lobby. The teaching hall was ten feet long and wide, and it was still very spacious to accommodate two hundred students.

Ma Jun stood on a huge sand table, holding a book in his hand. He was teaching "Yan Zi Chun Qiu", the life and thoughts of Yan Ying, a doctor of Qi State.

And there were two hundred ten-year-old boys in the hall. Each of them had a sand table in front of them, and the same book "Yan Zi Chun Qiu". Ma Jun read one sentence, and the boys followed one sentence.

He was shaking his head and head, obviously enjoying it.

The sand table was used for calligraphy practice. Zhu Kui was very surprised at first. He was fully capable of supplying paper for these students to practice calligraphy. However, Ma Jun, Guan Ning and other four of them strongly requested that the sand table be built for calligraphy practice, which was the foundation for calligraphy building. .

The so-called practice of small characters training form, large characters training bone, just practice writing small characters on paper, you can only get the shape, but not the bones. Practice large characters on the sand table since childhood, connecting the shapes with bones, and your handwriting will be beautiful when you grow up.

At this time, Ma Jun also noticed Zhu Kui outside the window. The two of them gestured to each other. Zhu Kui pointed to the backyard and made another gesture, indicating that he was waiting for him behind after class.

In the backyard, two young and strong men guarded the half-foot-tall wooden cart and covered it with a piece of linen cloth to show its privacy.

"Lord." The two strong men were obviously core members of Wang's business firm and knew a lot of things, so they knew Zhu Kui.

"Yes!" Zhu Kui nodded and asked the two of them to lift the linen cloth.

"Wow!"

After the cloth was removed, a repeating-null vehicle model was revealed, with three wheels, a small wheel at the front and two large wheels at the back. There was a wooden board at the bottom with a huge dragon-shaped bow on it. The dragon's head on the top had majestic teeth. lifelike.

Behind the dragon-shaped giant bow, there is a row of sophisticated crossbow devices, with ten giant arrows mounted on them. The arrows are shining silver and are three fingers thick.

The car body had been polished from top to bottom, and it felt as smooth as skin. Zhu Kui asked the two tigers, big and small, to come forward and watch. The two brothers also praised them in unison. The two tigers even touched the sharp arrow with their hands, and drew it with just a light touch.

It's broken and bleeding is oozing out.

"Lord, the arrows of this company of crossbows are so sharp, it seems that ordinary armor can be easily penetrated. If there are enough numbers, even the heavy armored cavalry will not dare to rush into this formation easily." Erhu put his bleeding finger in his mouth

Li Suiyun said.

After hearing this, Zhu Kui shook his head and reminded: "Although elite soldiers and powerful armor can defeat the enemy, it is not the whole story of war. We must remember that in order to achieve victory in battle and capture in attack, we need the cooperation of multiple parties.

Only by being well prepared in terms of leadership, logistics, terrain, weapons, morale, etc. can we improve the winning rate. What is more important is that there are people outside the world and there is a sky outside the world. Thinking and overthinking every battle is what a general should do."

"Only the king and his ministers must love each other, trust each other, not hold back the soldiers on the front line, and even change the generals before the battle. It means that from the king to the soldiers, everyone must be united, and then there will be a sure way to win."

A voice came from far away, and when I looked back, I saw that Ma Jun had finished teaching and came to see Zhu Kui.

"Huai Ming, when will you come back? Didn't you go to the Sheriff's Mansion?"

Zhu Kui stood up, bowed, and replied: "I came back yesterday, and the trip went well. I haven't seen Hong'er and Wu'er for two days. I have been with them since I came back to talk to my third uncle about passing the house."

, I’m so tired and worried.”

Ma Jun tied up his thin beard and glanced at the repeating ballista chariot. His heart moved slightly: "I didn't expect that the ancestor's repeating ballista chariot was actually built. So today, he is here..."
