Many scholars who study indoors all year round are inattentive to their physical and mental health and do not distinguish between grain and grain.
This process of transporting food and materials is not life-threatening, but it just increases the opportunity for a long-distance journey, and you can also take the opportunity to travel thousands of miles.
Only by being fully exposed to the local customs and customs of various places and understanding the various aspects of people's livelihood, can we take better political measures and understand the people's sentiments when entering the official career in the future.
A poem by the Emperor of the Song Dynasty: The book has its own beauty like jade, and the book has its own house of gold. Let countless scholars indulge in the romance of calligraphy and painting, thinking that reading can solve everything, which is detrimental to the prosperity of literature and art.
In the Spring and Autumn Period of the pre-Qin Dynasty, there were hundreds of schools of thought, and none of them traveled around the country.
Yang Lin's call was quickly spread throughout the Song Dynasty by Di Bao, and all the scholars in the academies were eager to try.
During this trip, not only did I have the feeling of fighting for my country, but I also had no worries about food and clothing, and the court took care of the food.
The most important thing is that the Ministry of Personnel and Taixue jointly ordered that when inspecting students in the future academy admission system, this performance will be listed as the key point.
Once it involves official career, it is not a trivial matter among the people. Even the pampered rich children have to abandon their handsome bookboys and pretty maids and prepare their bags to report to various governments.
The various government offices in Bianliang were extremely busy. This was an overwhelming trend that swept across the entire Song Dynasty. It caused great trouble and was a huge test for the New Deal.
"We have divided the world into thirteen provinces. It has been half a year. The governors and governors of each province have great power compared with the local officials in the past. Now is the time to test them. The students are in a hurry. Can they make overall plans and arrange them properly?
, is the expression of an official's ability." Bai Shizhong said, twisting his beard.
Yang Lin nodded frequently and added: "You can select honest officials from Bianliang, inspect them everywhere, and record their reputation."
Bai Shizhong's eyes lit up and he asked: "Select from the Ministry of Officials?"
"No high-ranking officials are selected, no ceremonial guards are set up, no grades are determined, and there are overt and covert inspections." Yang Lin suddenly thought of the Duwei Mansion. This secret service agency has been idle in West Lake for some time. It's time to put it to use.
A knife is a knife. If it is not used for a long time, it will inevitably rust.
"Let that Yin Muhong do it." Yang Lin and Bai Shizhong looked at each other and said with a smile, "I will write to him personally."
"Should you... report it to His Majesty before we do this?" Wang Chaoli, who was next to him, smiled cautiously, stepped forward and interjected.
Yang Lin stroked his forehead and breathed in: "If Shi'an hadn't reminded him in time, I would have forgotten about it..."
As he spoke, he patted Wang Chaoli on the shoulder a few times, patted him on the shoulder and then moved down a little.
After leaving Mingtang, Yang Lin returned to the outer courtyard of Zhaodefang and called several disciples.
In the garden of the outer courtyard of Zhaodefang, there is a winding corridor in front and rockery ponds on the left and right. However, it has not rained for several days in a row. The weather is too hot and muggy. Even if it is by the pond, it does not feel cool. Yang Lin took off his official uniform and only wore
Wearing a light shirt and long trousers, he was waving a fan while giving lectures to the disciples who were standing respectfully below.
At this time, the relationship between the disciple and the teacher is very close, and often even exceeds that of ordinary relatives.
Yang Lin pointed to the fake rocks everywhere and said, "Find a few shady places and sit down."
Ma Kuo asked with a smile: "Teacher, do you want us to go to Yunnei too?"
Yang Lin glanced sideways at him and said with a smile: "Zichong is right. Since you are my disciples, you should set an example for others."
After speaking, he pointed at Yu Wenxuzhong and Cai Sui with his fan, and said: "Shutong Heyuzhi will stay here and help me write official documents and handle some government affairs."
These two are good political experts. Cai Sui writes good articles and is full of brocade. Yu Wenxuzhong is smart and capable. They are his two great secrets, and they are both people who cannot be separated for the time being.
"I won't keep you for the next few days. I'm going to have a banquet with my friends and say goodbye. Don't just carry food along the way. My intention is not to treat you scholars like donkeys. Traveling thousands of miles is better than reading thousands of books.
After coming back, each person will write an article and hand it in."
Several disciples quickly stood up and bowed to say goodbye. Yang Lin also stood up and took out a secret message from his sleeve.
Wu Lin, the navy of the South China Sea, talked about something in his letter, which made Yang Lin very interested. Yizhou is the Taiwan of later generations. Their navy is going to Yizhou as one of the strongholds to annihilate the Champa pirates. Yang Lin
Of course Lin supports it.
However, I don't know what the situation is in Yizhou now. If there is a strong enemy and a war breaks out, the focus now is to support Yunnei with the whole country.
Even Yang Lin didn't want to cause trouble at this time. After all, in Jiaozhi, the imperial court still maintained a war effort of more than 100,000 troops.
Although a country is strong, it will perish if it is warlike unless it has sufficient capital and can obtain greater benefits through war.
The two wars being fought now are both for border appeasement, and even if they are won, they cannot be converted into economic gains in the short term.
Even though the Song Dynasty was rich and powerful, they could not resort to military warfare. They had to be careful and careful in their calculations.
I think it would be better to send someone to take a look and explore the truth...

The red sun broke through the clouds, and in the Jurchen army camps spread over the mountains and plains to the east of Datong, countless tired and haggard military horses, covered in wet and muddy bodies, also poured out, cheering loudly towards the sunshine above their heads!
This long-lasting rain of birds has really tormented the powerful Jurchen Erlang enough, and now it’s finally time to wait until the rain has passed and the sky has cleared!
Wanyan Loushi, who was the first to enter the city, had already led his troops out of the city and re-defended along the Sanggan River.
Between Yunzhou and Hongzhou is the supply line of the Jurchen army, which connects to Huining Mansion in Beijing. Countless soldiers, horses, money and food are supporting Yunnei from here.
Wanyan Loushi looked at the road below, and a group of people came over. This group of people were all wearing rope heads, wearing dirty leather robes. They were short, rough and strong. They were already full of fishy smell. These people
As time went by and I wallowed in the mire, I became extremely dirty and embarrassed.
They were the Auxiliary Army of the Jin Kingdom under the 30th Tatar surname in Monan. Yelu Dashi negotiated peace with the Jurchens, and the bargaining chip was to cede all of Monan.
These grassland tribes who once submitted to Daliao were the predecessors of Mongolia. If Yang Lin had not appeared, in the next hundred years, these tribes in the south and north of the desert would gradually form a powerful grassland empire. In the Jin Kingdom
After decay, these tribes will rise violently again, bringing the tide of destruction to the entire civilized world, killing thousands of miles across the Eurasian continent.
For the first time, the orthodox Han civilization in the Central Plains truly perished and was completely occupied by the barbarians, establishing the so-called Yuan Dynasty.
Nowadays, these tribes have not yet matured. Although they are able to endure hardships and stand hard work, and are fierce in battle, their equipment is extremely poor, and they are simply incomparable to the Jurchens who have completely inherited the Liao family business.
In Monan, an iron pot can become a family heirloom, which shows the extent of the lack of smelting there.
The best equipment of these Mongolian tribal troops is nothing more than stinky leather armor, horned bows and bone arrows. As light cavalry, the rangers are barely qualified. If they really have to fight on the battlefield, they are a generation behind those of the Song and Jin Dynasties.
The reason is very simple. No matter how powerful you Mongolian tribe is and you are not afraid of life and death, you are just a human being. If you shoot an arrow made of bones, it will not break the armor of the opponent.
A big boss hole. As long as the opponent's army and horses have a basic level, this battle will be impossible no matter what.
Therefore, the Mongols in Monan were quickly conquered by the Jurchens, and they recruited people from various tribes to fight.
Moreover, Monan is now full of tribes, divided and scattered, a bit like Tubo a few years ago, but much poorer than Tubo. They are not organized at all, so at this moment, these grassland tribes are just a few in the land of East Asia.
An inconspicuous character, in a place beyond the Great Wall, whoever becomes stronger will be attached to him.
I just hope that I can follow my master, share a piece of carrion, and keep the tribe alive.
These grassland tribal armies are now obeying the orders of the Jurchen soldiers and fighting fearfully. They are called back and forth by the Jurchen army generals, like slaves. Along the way south, they not only have to bear the important task of sentry and scout, but also often go out to serve as Jurchen army horses.
After plundering the valley, searching the mountains and entering the valley, and spending a lot of life to open it, you can get a little grain, livestock, and most of it for the Jurchen army and horses.
Wanyan Loushi looked at them with a trace of disdain in his eyes. In his eyes, they were just a group of zombies who didn't know how to make progress and were not worthy of a good look at all.
In fact, they now treat the Mongols the same way the Liao people treated the "Jurchen savages".
In the history of later generations, Wan Yanliang, who was very happy with his achievements, moved the capital of the Jin Kingdom to Yanjing, and the sinicization of the Jin Kingdom deepened rapidly.
Similarly, their intimidation of the Hu tribe outside the Great Wall began to weaken. After Wanyan Liang's death, the Khitans launched an unprecedented military rebellion outside the Great Wall. At that time, Jin Shizong Wanyanxi borrowed a large number of troops from the grassland tribes to participate in quelling the Khitans.
People's actions.
After Xiao Saba's Khitan uprising was defeated, the Mongols, after wars and weapons, gradually moved towards integration, just like the Wanyan tribe unified the Jurchens.
A few years later, from these inconspicuous miscellaneous men, a group of powerful men emerged, no less powerful than today's Aguda, Lou Shi, Zong Han, Zong Wang...
The group of knights under Wanyan Lou's eyes was about six to seven hundred people, made up of several tribes in Monan. In the past few days, they had been out in the mud for three or four days in the heavy rain, hunting grass and valleys, and then they had to return.
There were so many fish that had slipped through the net for them to rob and slaughter. The food and grass they captured were very pitiful. At most, they were two to three hundred stones of various grains, including many grass seeds. There were still people rushing behind the slowly returning team.
A dozen skinny sheep and horses were the biggest harvest.
While these knights were lazily riding back, some were still fighting over two women's clothes that were made of poor quality materials and workmanship. In the end, they simply rolled into the quagmire and punched each other, and no one cared about them.
Wanyan Loushi didn't look at them at all, he stared at the road in the distance, pointed eastward with his riding whip, and said: "We have suffered the pursuit of the Song people in Yuzhou, these people are not cowards, the reinforcements of the Song people will definitely
Will come from here first."
Around him were Jurchen warriors wearing armor, sharp weapons, and full of evil spirits.
One of them said: "It's just the right time to come. I've been beaten so hard for several days that I can vent my anger on them."
Wanyan Loushi's face condensed, and he raised his head to the sky, looking at the sky that finally became clear and the hot sun above his head: "I have fought against the Song Dynasty several times intermittently over the past year, and I always suffered some secret losses.
.If we lose the battle again, we will never think about going south to hunt for the boundless wealth and women."
"This time, we must exert the momentum to wipe out the Khitan, which will be the real rise of our Jurchens."
