Chapter 107 One Hand Can Hit Ten

Five days later, Qin Mu came to Jiangling County. Jiangling County is much more prosperous than the counties he saw on the road. Jiangling County is almost a city built entirely on the river. This river is not Yongjiang, but Jinjiang. Therefore, Jiangling is also called Jinling.

The Jinjiang River is turbulent, and the water is like the sea. Originally, Gangneung County was built on an oasis in the long river. However, after boats came and went, it became more and more prosperous and crowded, so the city was expanded and construction was carried out.

At that time, it was the current national teacher who served as the governor of Jiangling County. At that time, he was already a talented and strong man. He showed extraordinary talents. The piles are all 100 zhang long and short, with a total of more than 3,800 stone piles. The top of the stone pile is still 30 feet above the water surface, which can allow large ships to pass from below, and can also allow the flood to flow through calmly.

The National Teacher of Yankang and those skilled craftsmen and supernatural powers paved the road with boulders, used supernatural powers to stabilize, and expanded Jiangling City. This is a huge project. Tens of thousands of supernatural powers labored here for ten years to complete the new city.

There are some patios below the new city that can be illuminated, and the patios are used to drain water during heavy rains, and some docks are built under the city and communicated by nooses.

There are also large and small wharves on the edge of the city, where ships are often moored, unloading and loading.

This place is really prosperous, so it is also called the small capital. It was criticized by the scholar-officials at that time, saying that the governor of Jiangling County was suspected of conspiracy.

Some also say that the governor of Jiangling built a faucet on the Jinjiang River, which was a mischievous plot.

After the National Teacher Yankang completed this feat, he was summoned to the capital. Many people thought that the emperor was going to kill him, but they did not expect that the then Prince Yanfeng admired him very much. The Prince of Yanfeng was very talented. After he ascended the throne, he repeatedly promoted Yankang as the national teacher, and it didn't take long for him to be promoted to the national teacher.

Qin Mu also listened to Duke Tie talking about these interesting stories, and he didn't know whether it was true or not. However, Yankang's national teacher's talent, and his acquaintance with Emperor Yanfeng, made him admire these two people very much.

With him were some scholars from Jiangling County, some from poor and humble families, and some from wealthy and wealthy families. Qin Mu asked, most of these people came from elementary schools and universities in Jiangling County, and they were all children of the same family.

Qin Mu was surprised. He inquired about the primary school and university in Jiangling County, and then he knew the reason.

The primary school and university were established by Yankang National Teacher and have been extended to the whole country.

The national teacher said to Emperor Yanfeng: "When you are eight years old, from the princes and below, as for the children of the common people, they all enter elementary school, and they are taught in guidance, etiquette, the festival of advancing and retreating, ritual music, archery, number of books, and cultivation. , to build foundations. Observe their talents, teach students according to their aptitude, awaken the spiritual embryo, break the wall of the gods, and choose their children to enter the university."

The national teacher also said to Emperor Yanfeng: "In the next ten years and five years, all the sons of the emperor, the sons of the emperor, the sons of the princes, ministers, officials, and scholars of the Yuan, and the handsome and handsome of the common people, will all enter the university. And teach them to use supernatural powers, swordsmanship, righteous heart, self-cultivation, and the way of governing others, all night long in the ancient and modern supernatural powers academic. The scholars of the university are all disciples of the emperor, and they do not need to be attached to sects. As time goes by, the troubles of sects can be eliminated.

The national teacher also said: "After completing the university, you can enter the Taixue. The Taixue scholar, who is taught as an official and a general, studies the Taoist law, and governs the world, then the four seas will be peaceful, and the emperor can rest easy."

Qin Mu sighed in his heart, how could the country not be prosperous if Yankang Guoshi studied so much?

The living space of the sect of Yankang Country is squeezed by the primary school and the university, and there is no living space, so it is no wonder that there will be a rebellion.

On the boat, Qin Mu took out the "Suanjing" bought in Jiangling City from his baggage, studied it carefully, and wrote the Yuan decomposition formula on the paper with a charcoal pen.

Suddenly, a chubby scholar asked, "Did Brother Qin also go to the capital to take the exam?"

Qin Mu nodded and said with a smile, "Yes. I'm planning to go to the capital to make a fortune. Brother Wei is also going to take the exam?"

The chubby scholar named Wei Yong nodded and said with a smile, "It is my long-cherished wish to get a job title and enter the Taiyuan Academy to read books!"

Another scholar smiled and said, "Brother Wei, it is not so easy to get into the Imperial College. You are only fourteen years old, and you are still an elementary school scholar, so you cannot enter the Imperial College!"

Wei Yong sneered and said, "Is it a great scholar? It may not be able to beat me and Brother Qin!"

Many scholars laughed.

Qin Mu also showed a smile, most of these scholars who were on the same boat with them were going to the capital to take the exam, wanting to enter the Imperial College.

The universities in Jiangling teach basic swordsmanship and spells, which are not widely covered, while the Jingcheng Taiyuan College has a collection of millions of books, covering everything. School!

It is very difficult to enter the Taiyuan Academy. University scholars from all over the country break their heads in order to enter it. As for the elementary school scholars, they plan to go to Beijing, often wanting to enter the universities there. It is even more difficult for elementary school scholars to enter the Taiyuan College. Unless they are exceptionally outstanding, they may be hired out of the blue. There are very few primary school scholars who can pass the examination to enter the Taiyuan Academy every year.

The stern master took the helm and let the boat sail to the opposite bank.

Qin Mu noticed that this boat used a strange pill stove. There was flame in the pill stove. As long as the medicine stone was put in, the gear above the pill stove could be rotated by the spiritual power in the medicine stone, and the gear turned over with a huge ship wheel. Water, like a waterwheel, propels the ship forward.

And the stern only needs to be in charge of the rudder and the direction.

Qin Mu was amazed, how could such a strange thing be seen in the Great Ruins?

It didn't take long for the big boat to sail to the shore, he and many scholars disembarked, and as the crowd did not go far, they came to the market of carriages and horses.

Qin Mu looked around and became even more curious. He saw that some land boats, flying cars, cranes, earth dragons, and several building boats were being prepared for sale here. flare.

"Brother Qin, this way!"

Wei Yong stood under a building boat and waved to him. The ship went down the ship's ladder, and some scholars were walking on board.

Qin Mu walked over and looked up at the building ship, showing a look of surprise, Wei Yong was a familiar, and smiled: "The land boat is relatively bumpy, the flying car is too expensive, the cranes, the dragons, etc. are in the wind and the sun, or The building boat is comfortable to sit on, but the speed is a little slower. However, the selection of the Taiyuan Academy is still early, so let's take the boat to the capital."

Qin Mu said yes and said, "How about the price?"

Wei Yong took out a jug of wine and said with a smile, "You dress better than me, and you still care about the price? Sister fox, I bought you a jug of wine."

Hu Ling'er was surprised and delighted, stood up, thanked him earnestly, and then took the wine jug.

Qin Mu came to the boat boss to pay the shipping fee. The shipping cost from Jiangling to the capital required ten Dafeng coins, which was not too expensive. After all, Qin Mu was used to spending the past five days. What is the value of the Dafeng coins? He didn't have any concept of how many, only knew that his meals and lodging were a big coin to the other party, and he was overjoyed at the convenience.

Two people and one fox boarded the boat. It didn’t take long for the building boat to be full. A pharmacist and a boy started the pill furnace of the building boat. The medicinal power was turned into mana and supplied to the bronze beast sculpture at the stern of the boat. The big mouth of the bronze beast immediately spewed out. In the strong firelight, the building ship slowly took off, turned its direction slowly in mid-air, opened its sails and sailed away from Jiangling, heading north.

On the upper deck, passengers have their own rooms, and meals are provided on board, and they only need to spend the next few days on board.

Qin Mu stood on the boat and looked down, and saw that the building boat was rising higher and higher, and the speed gradually increased. The Jiangling City below had become smaller and smaller, but there were still strange things like flying cars, birds, and spaceships in the city from time to time. The things flew out and flew to other cities, and the boats came and went on the river, which was very lively.

"Yankang is a magical place."

Qin Mu admired in his heart: "Ling Yuxiu said that Yankang's Daoist magic powers are changing with each passing day, and now it seems that it is indeed the case."

He could see that Yankang Kingdom was applying Taoist magical powers to every corner of life, and ordinary people's clothing, food, housing, and transportation were slowly being changed, which is very similar to the way of the saints in the Da Yutian Demon Scripture. .

The way of the saints is only used by the common people. Yankang country has done a very good job.

He suddenly had a strange idea in his heart: "Could the National Teacher Yankang also be taught by me?"

Some of the scholars on the boat were practicing martial arts, and their cultivation was excellent, but what surprised Qin Mu was that they often practiced the same martial arts, spells, and swordsmanship.

Qin Mu was puzzled: "Isn't it easy to be caught by someone who cultivates the same magic and swordsmanship?"

In his opinion, although a martial artist is a basic realm, knowledge is also a foundation. Most scholars practice the same martial arts, the same spells, and the same swordsmanship. In this way, it is easy for others to catch flaws.

"I can hit ten of such warriors with one hand." Qin Mu shook his head secretly and continued to study the "Suanjing". There are ten volumes of "The Suanjing" printed by Yankanguo. He also sorted out a lot of formulas.

At night, Qin Mu came to the deck from the room, raised his head to observe the stars in the sky, then deduced it with the Yuan solution formula, and recorded the calculation on the paper.

The building boat floated for four days, and it was getting closer to the capital. Most of the scholars on the boat were going to the capital for the first time. Suddenly, a violent shock came, the building boat tilted in the air, and several scholars did not hold steady and fell from the boat.

These people didn't have the supernatural ability to practice flying, and they let out a long scream, and the screams continued for a long time. The building ship flew too high, and it would take some time for them to fall to the ground.

Qin Mu frowned, his legs were like two guns nailed to the boat, he was holding the drunk Hu Linger with one hand, and grabbed Wei Yong who was also drunk with the other, lest they be thrown off the boat.

Right at this moment, the loud laughter of Haha came from outside the boat, and an unimaginable giant python opened its big mouth full of barbs, bit the stern of the boat, and was tearing at it!

Everyone on the boat was shocked, the stern of the boat had been bitten off by the giant python. The scholars standing near the stern fell off the boat one after another, and a few were swallowed by the giant python!

There was still a person standing on the flat head of the giant python, dressed in a flower robe and painted with rouge and powder. It was very coquettish, but he was an enchanting man who was excitedly watching the panicked people on the boat.

The name of primary school and university existed in ancient times, and the definitive name was probably in the first century BC, in the Western Han Dynasty. It was recorded in the "Book of Rites of Dadai", "The ancients left the house at the age of eight, learned small arts, and performed small festivals. "Go to college with your hair tied, learn great arts, and perform great festivals." "Little Dai Li Ji: The Royal System": "The primary school is on the left of the south of the Gonggong, and the university is in the suburbs." Eastern Han Dynasty, "White Tiger Pass": " Entering elementary school at the age of eight and university at fifteen.”
