After Yu Chunfeng was captured, the law enforcement team of the inner factory also followed the lead and found several gangs' cottages under his control. They removed these cancers that were harmful to the party overnight and efficiently notified various stations to indicate that they were entrenched in Guyang Town.
All the bandits have been wiped out.
With the guarantee from the internal factory, the caravan that had been dormant for two months became active again, bringing vitality to the surrounding area. The straight road, which had been stagnant for several months, became busy again. Su Wen couldn't help but sigh that the new policies of the Liang Dynasty were implemented well.
, indeed brought about vigorous business development.
Nangong's trauma medicine and Qingshan Academy's secret medicine for internal injuries were more effective than Su Wen imagined. The day after the convoy left Guyang Town, Su Wen felt that his chest fracture had basically healed. He could only feel it when he turned his body violently.
Pain sensation.
Of course, the secret medicine is only one of the reasons. As an extraordinary person, his own recovery ability is far superior to ordinary people.
The extraordinary power of the military path also provides additional recovery capabilities. Even without the blessing of external medicine, the body can return to normal in three to five days.
What really hindered his body's recovery speed was the extraordinary power Yu Chunfeng left behind when he fought with him. It took Su Wen a lot of time to remove the aura that had seeped into the wound.
After passing Shannan Province, you will reach Gyeonggi Province. Daliangcheng, the capital of the Daliang Dynasty, is located in Gyeonggi Province.
Even though there is only Sannam-do across from Gangnam-do to Gyeonggi-do, the distance is not close.
The Liang Dynasty had a vast territory, but when Taizu founded the country, in order to simplify the administration, he only divided the world into fourteen provinces and established fourteen military governors. As a result, after the death of Emperor Wu, five of the fourteen military governors rebelled.
, Emperor Jing who succeeded to the throne spent a lot of effort to successfully quell the rebellion, and then abolished the Jiedushi envoys, replaced them with governors, and divided each province into prefectures. From the beginning of Emperor Jing to the present, there have been fourteen prefectures and forty prefectures in the country, according to the geographical boundaries.
The division and expansion of territory have turned it into fourteen states and fifty-six states.
The direction of the territory expansion of the Daliang Dynasty was basically on the Guannei Road and the Longyou Road, which were the areas where the Hu people went south. For many years, the Daliang Dynasty had been at its peak in national power and had always had the upper hand in the confrontation with the Rouran people. The Longyou Road and the Guannei Road
The territory has more than doubled, and the territory outside the customs is even wider.
If the current emperor had not focused on the New Deal since he ascended the throne and lacked enthusiasm for opening up new territories, the Rouran people would have breathed a sigh of relief and had the courage to go south to disturb the border.
"Gyeonggi-do is really prosperous..."
After entering Gyeonggi Province, Su Wen also discovered that the heart of the entire empire was as vibrant as Jiangnan Province.
He originally thought that Jiangnan Road was the most prosperous area in the Liang Dynasty, and Wuning City was the representative of Jiangnan Road. However, Yongzhou City made Su Wen feel that Wuning City was nothing more than that.
And Yongzhou City is just the companion capital of Daliang, and it is still more than three hundred miles away from Daliang City.
However, Yongzhou City was the place where Emperor Taizu and Emperor Wu prospered, and it was also the place where countless princes and nobles made their fortunes. When Taizu ruled the world, Yongzhou City briefly became the capital of the empire.
In the end, because the population was too large to accommodate, and the geography was not dangerous enough, Taizu finally decided to build another capital city. It finally took twenty years to build the current Daliang City and move the capital city.
Yongzhou did not decline because of the move of the capital. Taizu moved the capital, but left the Taixue and the Taimiao in Yongzhou. This place became the place with the strongest literary style in the Liang Dynasty. Even during the six emperors from Emperor Wu to Emperor Xiaomin, they promoted talents.
The ceremonies were all held in Yongzhou City.
However, during the reign of Emperor Xiaomin, there was an unprecedented and shocking case of cheating in the college entrance examination during the talent promotion ceremony. At that time, seven families with five surnames united with the examiners from three provinces to monopolize the admission quota. All the disciples from various academies and poor families failed the examination, which made people angry and angry.
In the end, thirty-six academies jointly protested. Seventy-two chiefs and deputy mountain chiefs, and eighty-one extraordinary beings at the peak of Sequence 5 and Sequence 4 descended on the Daliang Palace, frightening the frail and docile Emperor Xiaomin to death.
Emperor Xiaomin had to compromise in the face of these aggressive academic tyrants, promulgated an edict and granted the academies rights. In the end, the extraordinary masters of thirty-six academies carried out a round of brutal suppression on seven families of the five surnames.
More than half of the heads of the seven families committed suicide and executed the officials involved in the fraud case; all the candidates who had cheated had lost their extraordinary powers and were prohibited from entering the Daliang officialdom in any way for the rest of their lives.
However, Emperor Xiaomin, who had mediocre political achievements and always showed himself to be kind and weak, because of the excitement generated by this talent promotion ceremony, established a cruel law that surpassed all previous emperors: Anyone who dares to cheat in the talent promotion ceremony will be punished by the ten tribes!
This is a crime more serious than treason and assassinating the king! When people of later generations saw this torture law, they all lamented that Emperor Xiaomin also had a ferocious side in his heart.
Only those who know what Emperor Xiaomin went through can understand how frightened and frightened this weak-tempered emperor was because of this incident, and would want to use such a method to prevent the possibility of such frightening from happening again.
…
When the carriage entered Yongzhou City, Qingli thought of this allusion and told Su Wen as a Legalist hell joke.
It is said that Emperor Xiaomin learned from the painful experience and legislated for the Ceremony of Talent Recruitment. Legal scholars, who had clearly gained the upper hand in the court at that time, were the first to jump out and object. They felt that this law was too harsh, more serious than rebellion, and very unreasonable.
.The deans of various legal schools at that time also expressed that this law was indeed inconsistent with the spirit of law.
However, the good old Emperor Xiaomin was also angry. He got angry and went directly to the Ancestral Temple in Yongzhou City. He invited Taizu's armor and sword, put them on and went into battle, preparing to invite Taizu's heroic spirit to come and kill those who opposed it.
When the people of the Legalist school saw that Emperor Xiaomin was going to fight for his life, they had no choice but to give in. They said that the emperor kept his promise and had great determination to defend the purity of the ceremony. It was really the blessing of the world and the blessing of the students, so they forcibly found a way for themselves.
"So, the Legalists' adherence to the law is the same bottom line as the Magicians' moral bottom line... very flexible."
Qingli finally said this.
Su Wen deeply agreed. But he didn't dare to tell Qing Li what he had in mind. In his opinion, Confucianism is the one who can flexibly grasp the moral bottom line. Su Wen even felt that if necessary, he could become a moral vacuum and act arbitrarily.
.
Of course, Su Wen felt that he could still uphold morality and righteousness before the need turned into a moral vacuum.
"Chief Qingli Shan, Mr. Su, we have arrived at the guild hall."
As soon as the carriage stopped, Manager Xu rushed to the door and whispered.
Because steward Xu and the accompanying extraordinary servants were there to clear the way, Su Wen and his party arrived at Yongzhou City a few days earlier than expected.
After Qingli and Su Wen took the matter together, they decided to leave the candidates in Yongzhou City to rest for a few days. They also used these few days to let the candidates have a good discussion with the candidates who came here from various places to take the exams.
Although a large number of candidates have gathered in Daliang City at this time. But those who can gather in Daliang City at this time are basically the children of aristocratic families with rich pockets who hope to build relationships and obtain information from the examiners. Although cheating is a major crime among the Shi Clan, it can be
Inquiring about the examiner's information does not involve examination questions. It only involves trying to figure out the examiner's temperament, academic background, writing style, favorite article taste, etc. It does not count as cheating.
The students from the academy disdain being a coward, and the students from a poor family have no connections, so they prefer to stay in Yongzhou City to meet friends through writing, compare notes on writing skills, and make more friends.
Qingshan Academy does not have a guild hall in Yongzhou City. In the original plan, there was no idea of staying in Yongzhou.
But along the way, Guanshi Xu accidentally mentioned to Qingli the benefits of going to Yongzhou City, and Qingli became interested. He himself didn't care about this, after all, he was not participating in the big exam.
But now he represents the entire academy, and he knows that it is very rare for students to have the opportunity to communicate and learn. With a heartbeat, he decided to stay in Yongzhou City for a while and invite some candidates from other colleges to communicate and learn with students from Qingshan Academy.
experience.
Su Wen naturally had no objection to this.
Along the way, he listened to Zhang? He said a lot about Yongzhou City. He said that this place not only had a prosperous literary style, no less than that of Jiangnan, but also had many brothels and dollhouses.
Su Wen was not interested in the smoky place, but when Zhang Xie explained that the Brothel House was actually a famous place where scholars exchanged poems and prose, and Goulan was also a place where artists with both virtue and skill performed, he wanted to follow him.
Go and admire the writing style of poets and poets, and observe the exquisite skills of artistic masters.
The students of the Xu family who invested in Jiangnan Road spent a lot of money. Not only did they buy guild halls in Daliang City where there was a lot of land, they also bought guild hall properties in Yongzhou City.
However, in order to accommodate the candidates and students of Qingshan Academy, the Xu family also purchased a new property, which was more than twice the size of the previously purchased hall, and was only used to entertain the candidates of Qingshan Academy. The Xu family made no secret of their affection for Qingshan Academy.
preference.
However, the candidates in Jiangnan Province did not feel that they were being discriminated against. Almost everyone knew that the Xu family did this because they loved their family and wanted to recruit Su Wen from the academy as their son-in-law, so they tried to please Qingshan Academy in every way.
According to the news circulated everywhere in the Xu family, everyone knew that Xu Bancheng had taken a fancy to this young man before Su Wen became famous and wanted to recruit him as his son-in-law. If it hadn't happened that he happened to encounter a duel between Dong Zhizhang and Liu Sandao in the city, which triggered Su Wen's awakening
Wenqi. In order to give Su Wen a better extraordinary future, the Xu family agreed to let Su Wen study under Dong Zhizhang and go to the academy to further his studies, and then hold a new wedding banquet.
Such a statement has no logic and is not consistent with the facts.
But... there are quite a lot of people in Wuning City who believe this. Because most people don't know what the true meaning of transcendence is. Those who know the facts are also influenced by the continuous benefits of the Xu family.
I became a supporter of the Xu family and felt that Su Wen and the eldest daughter of the Xu family were a match made in heaven.
Su Wen didn't even know that under the Xu family's crazy offensive, Qingli and Qingbai didn't object to his marriage to the eldest daughter of the Xu family, and were even happy to see it happen.
Only Qingsong said that Su Wen's marriage was naturally his own decision. If Su Wen couldn't make up his mind, it was a matter between Master Dong and his former teacher. It had nothing to do with them as students. The only thing he could do was to support Su Wen.
