My life skills in Daming Liver

Chapter 225: Discussions of the Hawaiians

There are naturally places to stay in Quzhou City. With so many people, Su Ze and his party found two inns to live in.

The place where Su Ze and others stayed was called "Lanke Building". The name of this building comes from the Lanke Mountain outside Quzhou City.

It is said in "Shui Jing Zhu":

There once was a woodcutter who went into the mountains and saw two boys playing Go in the mountains. He sat on the sidelines and watched. When the game was over, the boys told him that your ax was rotten.

When the woodcutter returned home, he found that decades had passed, and this mountain was also called Go-Gen Court.

Now that we have come to this go game, it is natural to taste the local specialties.

While everyone was packing their luggage, Li Zhi asked his assistant to bring a chessboard and played against Su Ze with him.

[I found the chess room where I can learn the skill "Go", do you want to learn it? 】

Of course Su Ze chose to study, but his Lv1 chess skills were defeated by Li Zhi, and a big dragon was trapped and was dying.

"Ru Lin can calculate the heavenly orbit, but his chess skills are so poor, ahaha, it seems that calculation is not omnipotent!"

Su Ze smiled and said: "I once heard a story, a scholar surnamed Ke went to the mountain and saw a dog sitting in front of the chessboard. The scholar saw the dog pick up the chess piece, so he sat down and played chess with the dog."

"At the beginning, the dog doesn't fall for the golden edge, and doesn't fight for the silver horn, but only for the Zhongyuan. The scholar laughs at it."

"Ke Sheng is sweating profusely, and the fall will be slower."

"At the end of the game, Ke Sheng Dalong was broken and lost to the dog."

"This dog spouts people's words, claims to be an alpha dog, and hides without a trace."

Li Zhi only felt that the story was inexplicable, but thinking of Su Ze's Liao Zhai stories were also like this, he said narrowly:

"Ru Lin compares himself to a dog? Hahaha."

Su Ze smiled and said, "I'm afraid it's not as good as a dog!"

At this time, Lin Deyang came to report that everyone had packed their luggage.

Su Ze immediately swept the chess piece off the board and shouted: "A draw, a draw!"

Li Zhi also stood up with a sigh and said, "Ru Lin is really familiar with military books, so it turns out that he used delaying tactics."

[The game is interrupted, Go skill +5, Lv1, 5/100]

In fact, Li Zhi's Go level is around Lv5. Su Ze is going to buy a set of chess pieces to go on the road, and he should be able to torture him when he arrives in Nanjing.

Huang Maochong and Zhao Bingzhong couldn't wait to go to Quzhou Academy, and a group of people went to the academy in a mighty manner.

The closer you are to Quzhou Academy, the more scholars are wearing Confucian shirts, and you can see the banners hanging high on the academy from a distance.

"Ban Hai Ping Wo, this word is very well written!" Li Zhi couldn't help but commented as he looked at the flying banners.

Everyone also nodded. This pair of big characters can be written at this level, and the calligraphy attainments are far beyond ordinary people.

Li Zhi said with emotion: "In terms of writing, I'm afraid only Ru Lin can compete with this person."

Huang Maochong and Zhao Bingzhong looked at Su Ze. They had never seen Su Ze's calligraphy, but they didn't expect Li Zhi to think so highly of him.

Li Zhi said: "Ru Lin's handwriting is like a street paved with stones, with mangosteen hidden among them, it is as picturesque as calligraphy, it is truly the only one in the world!"

"This word flag seems to be the same way, to use painting to write?"

Sure enough, Zhejiang is also a place where people gather. Although Fujian's imperial examination is also good, it is still inferior to Jiangsu and Zhejiang in terms of cultural heritage.

When they got to the gate of the academy, they saw the mountain gate open, and the academy set up a pergola and straw mats. Many scholars were sitting on the ground like this. Everyone in Su Ze felt that it was new. They had never seen such a grand event in the literary world in Fujian.

Li Zhi said a little excitedly:

"When I was in Nanjing Guozijian, I heard that Mr. Yangming was giving lectures in Quzhou. All the scholars in Zhejiang lived in huts next to Quzhou Academy. Every day when Mr. Yangming opened the gate of the academy, they sat cross-legged On the straw mat, listen to Mr. Yangming's way of learning the mind!"

Both Huang Maochong and Zhao Bingzhong showed longing looks, they had never seen such a formation.

Su Ze thinks it's nothing. A popular video in later generations has tens of millions of viewers. In terms of the spread of ideas, the ancient times are far inferior to modern people.

Not enough. This also shows Wang Yangming's personal appeal back then. No wonder the emperor feared him so much and dared not let him enter the capital.

A living saint can be said to be a king's nightmare.

The scholars around heard the foreign accent of Su Ze and others, and proudly introduced: "Are you from Fujian?"

Su Ze nodded, and the young scholar said:

"It's really time for you to come. This essay meeting will only be held in the year of the examination. Did you also go to the North and South Beijing to be imprisoned?"

Su Ze and others nodded. The young man knew that they were all juren, so he said quickly:

"Fan Congming, the current imperial examiner from Quzhou Prefecture, Zhejiang Province, I would like to ask you all about your names."

"Su Ze, Yanping Prefecture, Fujian Province, was also selected last year. This is our senior in the examination room. These two are my fellow subjects."

After the three of them blew their names, Fan Congming said enthusiastically: "Brother Su, Brother Li, Brother Huang, and Brother Zhao, this academy meeting is not only a gathering of our Zhejiang scholars, but also welcomes scholars from all over the world to come and learn from each other. The purpose of learning is to inherit the legacy of Mr. Yangming's lectures."

"This meeting of the academy was organized by Xu Wenchang, the ten sons of Yuezhong, and he wrote the banner."

Everyone raised their heads and saw the fluttering banner again.

Everyone lamented that Zhejiang is rich in humanities, but only Su Ze was thinking about what kind of high price would future generations be able to fetch for such a large one-foot calligraphy work by Xu Wei?

Fan Congming was very enthusiastic. His companion had already occupied a seat in the academy. He enthusiastically invited the four of them to squeeze into the academy. This time, the seat was actually at the front. A group of people squeezed on the straw mat and looked at the academy. in the wooden platform.

The wooden platform was about the height of a person, and there were two worn-out futons on it.

Fan Congming said: "That is the futon that Mr. Yangming sat on when he gave lectures."

Even Li Zhi, who is usually the most deviant, straightened his back.

Su Ze secretly sighed, sure enough, when a person becomes a saint, everything he uses will automatically become sacred.

At this moment, a middle-aged man with a long beard and a gray gown stepped onto the podium. After paying respects to the crowd, he said:

"Xu Wei, I want to organize this literary meeting in response to your love. The theme of this lecture is 'Forbidden Seas and Peaceful Wolves'. If you have any suggestions for the peace of Jinghai, you can come to the stage to speak freely. If you disagree, you can also come to the stage. argument."

Everyone applauded. The issues discussed in the literary meeting of Quzhou Academy this time were all topics of daily discussion, and it was also a major issue related to the family and the country. Everyone felt that they could have something to say, so they all applauded.

Although Xu Wei did not win the exam, he has a detached status in the hearts of Zhejiang scholars. Even local officials like Hu Zongxian respect his talent. He sat down on the futon and said:

"Let's start today with Xu, who has ten strategies to calm the Japanese in Jinghai."

Su Ze listened attentively to Xu Wei's Ten Strategies for Pingwa, which were basically the same as what he had written in the county test policy theory, that is, rectifying coastal defense, organizing local regiment training, strengthening coastal defense, etc. It was nothing new for Su Ze, but Winning in all aspects.

Moreover, Xu Wei is familiar with the geography of Zhejiang, and also has an understanding of Japanese conditions in various places. The plan he said can be said to be watertight.

The Japanese pirates who can be recruited and surrendered are recruited, suppressed and used together, and the internal contradictions of the Japanese pirates are used to divide and disintegrate.

Although Xu Wei's method is nothing new, but his "Ten Strategies for Fighting the Japanese" is in the style of a declaration of war, and the writing style is so powerful that Su Ze wants to take up arms and rush to the front to fight the Japanese pirates.

Sure enough, a good pen can win 100,000 soldiers, and this article alone is enough to unite the scholars in Zhejiang to fight against the Japanese.

What Hu Zongxian should use later is Xu Wei's plan, basically following his strategy to fight against the Japanese.

This "Ten Strategies to Fight the Japanese" may also be a propaganda article for Hu Zongxian's policy of destroying the Japanese.

However, since it is a literary debate, it is impossible for everyone to agree with Xu Wei's statement. After a while, a scholar stood up. He squeezed through the crowd and walked up to the high platform. He worshiped Xu Wei again and again, and said:

"Wu Xiong, a member of Shaoxing Mansion, fought for tribute in Ningbo at the beginning of the Japanese Rebellion. The imperial court spent so much money every year to suppress the Japanese, and the people in the southeast would not be at peace. It would be better to reopen the tribute to Ningbo, and the Japanese Rebellion would resolve itself."

This statement immediately ignited the powder keg, and before Xu Wei could refute it, a scholar from Ningbo naturally stood up to oppose it.

The scholar stepped onto the stage and reprimanded loudly:

"Ningbo Juren Shen Kui, I don't think so! Ever since the Japanese pirates were allowed to pay tribute at the beginning of the country, the Japanese have brewed countless troubles in Ningbo, and the Japanese are greedy. My Ming Dynasty is a kingdom of heaven. How can I pay tribute just because the Japanese pirates succumbed? This example opened The borders are restless!"

Next, Su Ze saw a high-level literary meeting, which immediately turned into a large-scale online and offline quarrel scene.

Scholars in Ningbo and the vicinity of Ningbo stood up against the reopening of the tribute, against the re-payment of tribute by the Japanese kingdom, and strongly advocated continuing to fight against the Japanese.

Some scholars who are not from Ningbo support the reopening of tribute, using the imperial court to appease the Japanese pirates, and stop fighting with soldiers.

Su Ze looked at Xu Wei with a smile on the corner of his mouth and watched everyone quoting scriptures, arguing loudly until his face was red.

Then look at Xu Wei standing on the edge of the high platform, stroking his beard and watching the debate.

Su Ze knew that this was also in Xu Wei's plan. Since the theme of the literary meeting this time was "Banning the Sea and Pacifying the Japanese", it was to promote Hu Zongxian's next anti-Japanese policy.

And Xu Wei allowed them to debate, probably in order to make a final decision at the last moment and unify the anti-Japanese ideology in Zhejiang.

Sure enough, those who can leave their names in history are not ordinary people. Xu Wei is highly praised in history books, and he is considered the mastermind of Hu Zongxian's suppression of the Japanese.

Now it seems that this should be the case, public opinion first, first determine the anti-Japanese ideology of the whole Zhejiang, and after this discussion is over, reopening Ningbo to pay tribute is capitulationism.

Li Zhi whispered to Su Ze, "Don't Ru Lin want to go up and say a few words?"

Li Zhi knew that Su Ze had planned seven strategies for his brother-in-law to fight the Japanese, so that Fang Wanghai could rise to the top. He knew that he had a good strategy, but he didn't expect Su Ze to stand up at this time.

Fan Congming looked at Su Ze in surprise. He didn't expect scholars from other provinces to come up to debate?

You must know that the people who just took the stage are all famous scholars in Zhejiang, and new imperial examination candidates like Fan Congming can only listen to them from below.

Fan Congming said to Huang Maochong who was beside him, "Is Brother Su famous in Fujian?"

Huang Maochong smiled and said, "Brother Rulin is Xie Yuanlang of our department."

That's right!

Hearing that Su Ze is Xie Yuan, Fan Congming understood that the Xie Yuan of a province is the essence of literary talent in a province, so it is normal for Su Ze to want to debate on stage.

But Fan Congming still said: "How is Brother Su's level of debate?"

Huang Maochong thought of Su Ze giving lectures and arguing with Li Zhi along the way, and immediately said: "The eloquence is unparalleled!"

Fan Congming said with some concern: "I, a scholar in Central Zhejiang, have always been very eloquent. I'm afraid Brother Su will suffer."

Fan Congming only saw Su Ze stepping onto the high platform, and his aura suddenly changed.

With the blessing of the golden skill [Eloquence], Su Ze's charm reached 14 points after taking the stage.

When he was in the audience, Fan Congming only thought that Su Ze was a handsome scholar, but when he came on stage, Su Ze's demeanor made people think of those famous scholars who had been famous for a long time.

Xu Wei also looked at Su Ze suspiciously. He had seen all the famous scholars in Zhejiang, so why didn't he know Su Ze?

At this moment, Xu Wei seemed to see his teacher Wang Ji, the true second generation of the Wang family, and the personal disciple of Wang Yangming!

Su Ze cupped his hands and said, "Su Ze, a man from Yanping Mansion, Fujian Province, has met all of you."

Hearing that Su Ze was from Fujian, all the Zhejiang scholars on and off the stage made a noise.

Although the scholars from Ningbo and the non-Ningbo scholars were all out of their minds just now, but Su Ze, who is from other provinces, what qualifications do you have to speak?

If Su Ze hadn't been so tolerant, someone would have already booed him down.

But the Ningbo scholar opposite Su Ze felt a lot of pressure when facing Su Ze. At this moment, someone shouted from the audience:

"Su Ze Su Rulin! Is it Xie Yuanlang who wrote "The Peony Pavilion"?"

"Is that Su Ze who wrote "Liaozhai"?"

Fan Congming said in surprise: "Brother Su is the one who wrote "The Peony Pavilion"? I didn't think of it for a while!"

Huang Maochong asked: "Is "The Peony Pavilion" also sung in Zhejiang?"

Fan Congming said excitedly: "It's not just a legend, it's popular all over Zhejiang! Xu Wenchang also praised Brother Su as a famous opera master compared to Guan Hanqing!"

A province of Jieyuan, a famous opera artist, made Fan Congming instantly become Su Ze's fanboy, and many people in the audience also forgot the difference in region.

I only heard Su Ze say: "There is a saying in "Zuo Zhuan": the great Chu country, and the king comes to it. There are barbarians who conquer the South China Sea, so they belong to the Xia."

"In the pre-Qin period, without the merits of the ancestors of the Chu State, Fujian and Zhejiang would still belong to the barbarians."

Everyone was speechless when he said this. Su Ze made a map of Zhejiang and Fujian together, but they were indeed barbarians in the pre-Qin era.

Xu Wei looked at Su Ze, but didn't know what he meant by saying this suddenly.

Su Ze said: "Zhou You entrusted the Xia to educate the barbarians, so that our southern country will return to China and the south of the Yangtze River will not suffer from the southern barbarians. The ancestors have a hard way to get to today's territory."

"There are Japanese pirates in the south today and Ida in the north. Why don't you follow the example of the ancestors of the Xias and turn the barbarians into the Xias?"

The Ningbo scholar on the field heard his face pale and said: "Absurd! All overseas countries are all vassal states registered by the Taizu, how can they attack without authorization?"

Su Ze said loudly: "Confucius's "Spring and Autumn" is also, the princes use barbarian rituals to barbarize it, and barbarians enter China to make China."

"Wo Kingdom was a vassal with China's rituals, but now it invades our Daming sea area like a beast. It is obvious that it has left China and changed to Barbarians."

"Every Xia's defeating barbarians, why not?"
