Chapter 570: Living is worse than dying

PreviousBack to directoryNext
 Taiping College was founded in the third year of the founding of the Su Dynasty. Su Hanlin personally managed and founded it and served as the first president of the college, so it is also called Dayu Royal College.

There are two nine-story holy towers in the college, east and west.

One tower is named Wen.

One tower is named Wu.

The Wen Pagoda contains over 108,000 books, covering everything from agriculture and weaving to cultivation, the four seasons, astronomy and geography, and everything in between.

The Wu Pagoda contains nine thousand volumes of martial arts techniques.

All the martial arts and martial arts skills that Zhang Tufu and other founding marshals looted and looted when they conquered the world are here.

Someone once said that if you can understand the Nine Thousand Martial Arts of the Martial Pagoda, you can expect to become a saint.

The Twin Towers of Civil and Military Affairs are the foundation of Taiping College.

The pagoda is divided into civil and military affairs, and learning is also divided into civil and military affairs.

The college is bounded by the north-south central avenue, with the liberal arts college to the east and the martial arts college to the west.

Of course, this boundary is only the boundary between civil and military college buildings, not the boundary between students' studies.

Students can practice essays or martial arts, martial arts or essays. As long as they can complete the homework assigned by their teachers and teachers on time, they can learn anything.

It has been fifty-five years since Taiping Academy was established, and it has sent batch after batch of useful talents to the empire. Many of them are now important ministers of the country, including many first- and second-rank ministers in the court, and many who have fought on the battlefield.

General.

Taiping College has become a national treasure of the Su Empire.

In recent years, the civil and military ministers in the court have called for Su Hanlin to expand the college, but Su Hanlin refused.

It's not that Su Hanlin doesn't want to expand the college, on the contrary, he wants it so much that he can't even dream about it.

But the expansion he wanted was completely different from the expansion the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs wanted.

The expansion that the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs wants is only to expand the size and area of ​​Taiping College and expand the teaching staff of Taiping College, so as to recruit more students and cultivate more talents.

The expansion he wanted was to expand the college to every state, then to prefectures, counties, and even villages.

He wants everyone in the Su Empire to have the opportunity to study, and everyone has the opportunity to practice martial arts. He wants to tap out what everyone is good at, or their innate talents, so that they can all

For the use of the empire.

If this move is achieved, not only will the overall quality of all the people of the Great Su Empire undergo a qualitative leap, but the empire will also have an inexhaustible supply of outstanding talents in all fields.

With a two-pronged approach, the Great Su Empire will surely soar into the sky and reach a height that has never been reached by any previous dynasty.

However, this plan is too difficult to implement.

First of all, there must be extremely strong financial support.

At the beginning of the founding of Dasu, the entire territory was in ruins, and the people were wailing everywhere. They had no roof to cover their bodies, and no food to eat. The national treasury was so poor that it could not even spend one thousand taels of silver, not even the money for grain seeds that the people urgently needed.

Not out.

It took more than twenty years to finally catch a breath of relief, and the national treasury gradually became full.

Nowadays, the national treasury is already rich and has sufficient financial resources, but it still needs to solve another problem, and this problem is the real obstacle that hinders Su Hanlin from implementing the college expansion plan.

However, Su Hanlin has already started to eliminate this obstacle, and a bloody storm that has never been seen since the founding of the Su Dynasty is about to start.

But no matter how many people died, Su Hanlin's determination never wavered. He firmly believed that this would be a change that would benefit the future.



Wherever there are people, there are rivers and lakes.

There are many people in Taiping College, with more than 30,000 teachers and students combined.

This is a world that is not big, but not small either.

Where there are rivers and lakes, there are grievances and grievances.

If there are grievances, there must be ways to resolve them, otherwise the world will be in chaos.

There can be no chaos in the world.

Taiping Academy cannot be in chaos.

Wensheng fights with literature, and martial arts fights with force. This is Taiping Academy's method of resolving grudges and disputes.

Simple and crude, but very effective.

Of course, you can also go to the Discipline Academy and ask the Supervisor in charge of dogma to seek justice for you.

The selfless supervisor will uphold the principle of fairness and justice, investigate everything clearly, and then make rewards and punishments clear, and will never show favoritism.

However, going to the Discipline Academy is usually ridiculed and despised by classmates, so few people go there.

As a student of the martial arts academy, Li An has always been shameless about going to the Discipline Academy to find the supervisor to make decisions, so he has never been there.

Even if you are often bullied by others, you still don't bother to do it.

He likes to use his fists to make the other party shut up, admit his mistakes, and apologize. If his fists can't do it, then he grits his teeth and endures until his fists are strong enough, and then regains the lost dignity.

Although he likes to talk with his fists, he is not an impulsive person. On the contrary, he has a calm personality, knows restraint and tolerance, and his mind is far more mature than his peers.

But today he was impulsive because someone pointed at his nose and cursed:

The soldiers in the southern border are all soft-footed shrimps, and they will be defeated by the rebels and big-toothed dogs.

The people in the southern border deserved to starve to death. Who allowed them to just idle around and not know how to work hard?

Otherwise, if the family has a grain store, there is nothing to worry about if there is a drought.

Starving people to death is a big joke!

Li An was furious when he heard this, because he was from the south, and his parents died of starvation due to drought. Both of his parents were hard-working people, and they were definitely not idlers.

Even until the moment he died, his father still clung to the only handful of grain left in the family, hoping that God would rain soon.

Li An survived by relying on this handful of grain seeds, but instead of planting them in the ground, he put them in a pot.

Without water, it can only be cooked over fire.

A handful of grain seeds, thirty grains.

He ate ten pills, gave twenty pills to his sister, and then led his sister to leave home and escape north.

Unfortunately, they didn't go very far, and the brother and sister fainted from hunger on the roadside.

Fortunately, he was rescued by a noble man and did not starve to death on the roadside.

The nobleman rescued the two brothers and sister, and accidentally discovered that they had good cultivation qualifications, so he settled them into Taiping Academy.

This may be God's mercy, which gave the two brothers and sister a way to survive.

But he didn't expect that this way of living would be cut off today, just because of his impulse, but he had no regrets.

It's about the reputation of your parents. As your son, you should defend it to the death!

It's just that he can't worry about his sister.

Once he left, she would be the only one left alone in the world.

How should this little and weak woman spend her days in the future?

"Alas -" The more Li An thought about it, the sadder he became, but he could only lament helplessly and silently pray in his heart, hoping that God would show mercy and bless his sister's safety and health.

"Haha, Li An, how does it feel to be trampled under my feet like a dead dog? Isn't it beautiful? Haha——"

Arrogant joking voices were laughing wantonly above Li An's head.

Li An gritted his teeth with hatred, but was unable to refute, because the screamer's stinky feet were stepping on his head and trampling him to the ground.

His true energy had been exhausted in the previous battle, and he was like a dead dog at this moment, being trampled on the ground without any resistance.

"Zhong Youwu, whether you want to kill or behead me, just say hello to me, don't talk useless nonsense!" Li An shouted, his voice was strong and fearless.

"You dare to speak harshly when you are about to die! Let you speak harshly! Let you speak harshly——"

Zhong Youwu was angered by Li An's unyielding tone, and immediately raised his foot and kicked Li An hard on the head.

The hard soles of the boots broke Li An's head in two blows, and blood immediately splattered everywhere.

Li An was very stubborn, clenching his teeth, and didn't even say a word.

There were many students watching the theater gathered under the arena of life and death. They were still cheering and applauding at first, but when they saw this bloody and cruel scene, their cheering suddenly stopped, and they all showed unbearable expressions.

"Li An, please surrender quickly, why should you suffer this fate?"

"Lee An, there is no shame in surrendering in the life and death arena."

"Li An, if you keep the green hills, you won't have to worry about burning them. You just have to be soft for the time being."

Some of Li An's classmates or people who knew him couldn't bear to see him continue to be humiliated and tortured by Zhong Youwu, and they all began to persuade him to surrender to Zhang Youwu.

"Haha——" Li An opened his blood-stained mouth, laughed wildly, and shouted: "You only have one life, and if you die, you will die. Why should you be afraid! I'm afraid of breaking your spine, but living is not as happy as dying!"

Everyone in the audience was horrified when they heard this, and a sense of admiration arose spontaneously.

Zhong Youwu, on the other hand, was so angry that his face was livid, especially after feeling the change in the atmosphere in the audience, he couldn't help but get furious.

What makes him angry is that he is obviously the winner and controls Li An's life and death, but it feels like Li An is the winner and he is the loser.

How could he endure this?

"Since death is a happy death, then go and die!" Zhong Youwu looked ferocious and roared at Li An.

His feet became more and more ferocious, and he kicked Li An fiercely. The sole of his foot hit Li An's ribs, and you could hear the clear sound of bone cracking.

"Oh, it's just a matter of bowing down and being submissive, why is it like this?" Someone in the audience shook their heads and sighed, not understanding the meaning of Li An's stubbornness.

"Haha, throughout the ages, the pride of the poor has been the most contemptuous." Someone shook his head and sneered.

But as soon as he finished speaking, someone immediately retorted: "People have high and low status, how can pride be said to be high or low? If a person loses his pride, even if he is alive, he is nothing more than a walking corpse."

"Hmph!" The man was displeased and snorted, looked at Li An who was being beaten on the stage, and sneered: "Li An's arrogance is so unreasonable, it's just vanity.

That’s all.

Is what Mr. Zhong said wrong?

At least half of the responsibility for the troubles in the Southern Territory lies with the people and generals of the Southern Territory. If they argue for words, how can they be slaughtered by the big-toothed dogs and kill several cities, and how can the rebels capture almost half of the Southern Territory?

If our Central City had not sent troops to support in time, the southern border would have fallen into the hands of the thieves long ago.

As a Southerner, Li An is understandable in safeguarding the reputation of Southerners, but if he dares not face the facts and admit his own shortcomings and mistakes, it is vanity and hypocrisy.

Talking about being arrogant is ridiculous."

"Southern Territory - well, it's really disappointing." The person who had refuted it before did not refute it this time. Instead, he shook his head and sighed, agreeing with that person's statement.

People around him also shook their heads.

"Brother! Brother! Brother—"

An urgent call came from the direction of the entrance to the martial arts arena, and it approached the ring at an extremely fast speed.

Everyone turned around and saw a round-faced girl shouting and rushing towards them.

"It's Li Ran."

"Li An's sister is here."
