There were four capitals in the Song Dynasty, namely Kaifeng Prefecture in Tokyo, Yingtian Prefecture in Nanjing (Shangqiu City), Luoyang in Xijing, and Daming Prefecture in Beijing.
These four capitals are very close to Kaifeng Prefecture in Tokyo. Now the territory of the Song Dynasty has expanded several times. Some ministers in the court pointed out that the concentration of the capitals in the Central Plains area is not conducive to the imperial court's control of the vast territory;
It is proposed to change Youzhou to Beijing, Chang'an to Xijing, and Jiangning Prefecture to Nanjing.
This proposal was approved by many ministers, and the imperial court was discussing the establishment of three additional capitals.
It has not yet been finalized. Yingtian Mansion is still Nanjing. It was in Nanjing that Yang Yi and his party abandoned the ship and landed. Nanjing is extremely prosperous because it is located on the bank of the Bian River. Like Kaifeng in Tokyo and Luoyang in Xijing, they are both big cities with a population of over one million. The most attractive thing about Nanjing is its education, and Yingtian Academy is the most famous in the world.
Yingtian Academy is one of the four major academies in the Song Dynasty. It was founded by Yang Cui, a Shangqiu native in the Five Dynasties and later Jin Dynasty. When the Song Dynasty was founded, students from Yingtian Academy participated in the imperial examination, and as many as 50 or 60 people passed the imperial examination. Literati and scholars came here in an endless stream from far and near to seek scholars.
Yan Shu, Fan Zhongyan and others successively taught at Yingtian Academy, which made the academy unprecedentedly prosperous. Today, it has nearly 4,000 students;
It is particularly worth mentioning that the four major academies of the Song Dynasty were all academies run by the government and the private sector, so the teaching in these academies did not have too many utilitarian factors like Taixue. The style of study was open and the academic atmosphere was strong. There are so many talented people that the reputation is still lasting thousands of years later.
Qing Niang yearned for these academies very much. When they arrived at Yingtian Mansion, Yang Yi simply asked her and Adela to change into men's clothes. Then he took them to Yingtian Academy for a tour;
When Yang Yi and others were enjoying the play in the academy, they discovered that a professor was explaining "Qingqing Notes" to students.
That¡¯s right. It was "Qingqing Notes" that Shisanniang compiled and recorded Yang Yi's encyclopedic knowledge of physics, chemistry, medicine, machinery, etc. It was originally printed in Hangzhou together with Shen Kuo's "Mengxi Bi Tan". It also includes previous poems and lyrics by Yang Yi and Qing Niang.
This discovery made Yang Yi very happy. A world-famous academy like Yingtian Academy actually discusses encyclopedia knowledge. This is definitely of epoch-making significance. Even though this is just a supplementary course for the academy as a Confucian classic, with this beginning, Future development will be unlimited.
Yang Yi wanted to reveal his identity and teach the students a lesson, but he held back in the end. There are still opportunities, and there will be opportunities in the future.
After visiting the academy and fulfilling Qing Niang¡¯s wish, Yang Yi began his real inspection tour.
" Two carriages and ten guards, dressed in casual clothes, walked around in the bright spring light. Every day, they would chat with some farmers in the fields. Or you can inquire about some workshops and shops to learn about the people¡¯s livelihood information at the lowest level.
As soon as you get something, record it, summarize and classify it, and then report it to the court. This happens every day. You can understand the local people's sentiments while enjoying the spring scenery.
On this day, we entered Haozhou territory. The wilderness on both sides of the road is flat and vast, and the wheat seedlings are green. Children's childish nursery rhymes were heard among the cottages: There are four or five chimneys in two or three miles. There are six or seven pavilions. Eighty or ninety flowers.
This nursery rhyme is so heart-warming that even the kid next to the car pricked up his ears to listen.
A wine flag was fluttering in front of a clump of green bamboo. Xiao Yi came to the car and asked, "Sir, it's almost noon. Can we rest here and have some food before leaving?"
"Well, let's take a break."
In front of the restaurant is a large courtyard, with a large banyan tree shading the ground beside it. Inside are several spacious tile-roofed houses. On the side of the tiled house is the kitchen and on the west side is a low horse stable.
There are already several tables of customers in the wine shop, and there are several large carts parked in front of the courtyard. The carts are probably filled with medicinal materials, and you can smell a faint medicinal fragrance.
Seeing a guest coming to the door, the shopkeeper of the wine shop personally welcomed him out, bowed repeatedly, and invited Yang Yi and his entourage in with great enthusiasm.
Seeing that there were still a few empty tables under the shade of the tree, Yang Yi did not enter the store, but took Qing Niang and Adela to sit under the shade of the tree.
"Shopkeeper, you don't have to say much, just choose a few of the wines and dishes in your shop." Yang Yi interrupted the chattering shopkeeper and said.
The shopkeeper replied happily: "Okay, sir, please wait a moment and drink some tea to take a breath. The food and wine will be served soon."
After the shopkeeper finished speaking, he trotted to the kitchen. Adela couldn't help but said: "Sir, since entering Haozhou, I have seen that most of the cars carrying medicines are medicine, which is really strange."
Yang Yi took a sip of tea and said with a smile, "Adela, have you heard of the miracle doctor Hua Tuo?"
"Of course I have heard of it. Hua Tuo was a miracle doctor in the late Han Dynasty. ThisWhat does it have to do with Haozhou? "
"Of course it is related. Haozhou is the hometown of Hua Tuo. Perhaps due to Hua Tuo's influence, Haozhou not only has a long-lasting medical tradition, but also was a large medicinal material distribution center in the Song Dynasty. Medicinal materials from the east, west, south and north were gathered here for trade. There is a large-scale medicine market in the city, so Haozhou is also known as the medicine capital."
Adela looked at the carts of medicinal herbs and said suddenly: "I see, I was just talking, why did I see so many carts transporting medicinal herbs when I entered the ground of Haozhou?"
Before the food and drinks were served, another group of people came in from outside. Two young men of seventeen or eighteen years old, dressed in bright clothes and carrying hunting bows on their backs, were followed by twenty or thirty domestic servants, all wearing black attire. , looks quite tough.
The group of people came at high speed, and when they arrived in front of the wine shop, they suddenly stopped their horses, causing a lot of smoke and dust. Qing Niang and Adela had to take out their brocade handkerchiefs and cover their noses.
The guards across the table were immediately dissatisfied with the new group of people, and they all became cold-faced, but they didn't dare to make any mistakes without Yang Yi's instructions.
The two young masters walked in while talking and laughing. When they passed Yang Yi's table, they were stunned and stared at Qing Niang and Adela.
The taller one on the left spoke first: "Tsk tsk, Brother Zheng, I really didn't expect to meet such a stunning beauty in this roadside shop today, and there were two of them at once, haha! Although I didn't hit him today The prey is worth it."
¡°This was said so unscrupulously, coupled with his cannibalistic gaze, it was really arrogant.
The young man in green shirt on the right also laughed and said: "Brother Wei said it is true, these two beauties. My surname is Zheng, and my single name is Yiqiu. As the saying goes, meeting means destiny. How about I and Brother Wei accompany these two beauties for a few drinks? ?¡±
He sat down without ceremony as he spoke. As for Yang Yi, he was ignored by the two of them.
"Bold"
The guards at the next table stood up one after another and were about to beat them up. Yang Yi waved his hand in time to stop the guards, and said to the two people sitting down calmly: "Zheng Qiu, right? And this one, why don't you name them together?" It¡¯s fine if you report it up or down.¡±
"What's good?" The young master named Zheng Qiu interrupted Yang Yi and snorted disdainfully: "Who do you think you are? Are you the one who randomly called me my name? If you are wise, get away quickly. Otherwise, I will be stolen. Master¡¯s hand.¡±
"My lord Wei Feng, you two beauties, you are so polite." The young master who called himself Wei Feng didn't even look at Yang Yi. Speaking of the pair, he yelled at the waiter in the shop: "Young waiter, you are blind. You've caught your eye and pretended not to notice that I'm here? Why don't you bring me some good wine quickly?"
Although Qingniang and Adela were not panicked, they could not help but frowned. Qingniang looked at Yang Yi and called out as if asking for help: "Brother Yang"
At this time, the waiter hurriedly brought a jar of wine. He said weakly: "You two gentlemen, everyone here is a guest. There is room over there, why don't you two?"
"Get out!" The young man named Zheng Qiu grabbed the wine jar on the waiter's hand and kicked it. Kick the second brother out.
Yang Yi's faint smile slowly faded, and he said to the two of them: "I don't want to cause trouble today. If you two get out now, it's still too late."
"Hey! Let's get out? Hahaha. Brother Wei, did you hear that? It's the first time on this Haozhou ground that I heard someone tell us to get out. It's really new." Zheng Qiu finished with a laugh. Flying kick again, towards Yang Yi.
Yang Yi stood up suddenly. Before anyone present could see his movements clearly, they heard a "click!" Zheng Qiu let out a shrill scream and fell to the ground. He covered his right foot with both hands and rolled back and forth, screaming. The shouting made people¡¯s eardrums numb.
All this happened so fast that everyone in the venue was stunned for a moment. Yang Yi clapped his hands and said: "Why? Why do you have to get my hands dirty? Brother, don't be stunned, go get me a basin of water." Come wash your hands."
"Brother Yang!" Qing Niang saw Zheng Qiu screaming and rolling on the ground, and she was kind-hearted and couldn't bear it.
"Don't worry, Qing Niang. If you seek medical treatment in time, you can just lie down for a few months and it won't be a waste."
When Wei Feng came to his senses, he immediately jumped up like a cat whose tail was stepped on and shouted: "I've gone against you, I've gone against you, why are you still standing there, beat me, beat me to death! Beat me!"
The two men brought with them a total of thirty people. Because they were returning from hunting, many of them carried bows and arrows on their backs. After Wei Feng shouted, a group of people immediately took out their weapons and rushed towards Yang Yi and others.
Yang Yi protected Qing Niang and Adela behind him, and even took advantage of the opportunity to fly up with a kick. Wei Feng only shouted that his men would start beating people, and seemed to have forgotten Yang Yi's threat. Things proved that he left his back to the enemy. This is the most stupid behavior.
Yang Yi is hereHe kicked him hard on the butt, sending him flying a foot away. When he fell to the ground, his front teeth accidentally hit a stone, and blood spilled out. The two front teeth were gloriously laid off from then on.
This girl is quite fierce. Regardless of the pain of breaking her front teeth, she quickly got up with a wolf-like sound in her mouth, took off the bow and arrow from her back and was about to shoot at Yang Yi.
Yang Yi grabbed the table leg and was about to smash it over when a white shadow jumped out from the table like lightning and threw Wei Feng to the ground. The white teeth were about to bite Wei Feng's throat.
"Xiao Bai, no, no," Qing Niang shouted at the right time. Xiao Bai heard Qing Niang's voice and finally stopped biting. The sharp fangs pressed against Wei Feng's throat, frightening him so much that he went limp and almost urinated. incontinence.
At this time, the courtyard was in chaos. Although Yang Yi's guards only had ten people, they were all elites with martial arts skills. They rushed into the group of servants like a whirlwind;
The group of warriors looked at Tiaoqiang, but when they met these guards, they were like fallen leaves swept by the autumn wind. A few of them fell to the ground with broken bones and unconscious ones. No one was intact. Screams filled the courtyard.
Yang Yi put down the table, walked towards Wei Feng, patted Xiaobai on the head and said: "Xiaobai, okay, go back to Qingniang."
Xiaobai whined a few times, sprayed saliva on Wei Feng's face, and then ran back to Qing Niang.
Yang Yi said calmly to Wei Feng, whose face was covered with blood: "You actually wanted to shoot me with a bow and arrow. Based on this, it's natural to take your life. For the sake of my Qing Niang's face, I will spare you today." One life, get out of here."
Wei Feng stared at him fiercely, without saying anything else, he helped Zheng Qiu, who had a broken right foot, and called the servants to go out quickly.
"You're dead!" After getting on the horse, Wei Feng said a few words and then rode away.
