I

"The Tianchi Mountain is gloomy, and the scholars live in sloping bamboo huts. At three o'clock in the morning, after fasting, the apes offer fruits... The dust and dust have disappeared, and the true nature is revealed. There is no need to hang up the cassock."

This poem was written by Fei Yuanlu, the headmaster of Hanzhu Academy, when he visited Tianru Temple two years ago.

This temple is located at the foot of Jiuyang Mountain in the north of Hekou Town. It was built during the Wanli period, and all Fei clans donated a lot of money.

The eighth day of April is the Buddha's birthday. I heard it is the birthday of Sakyamuni.

The nearby faithful men and women were invited to go to Tianru Temple to bathe the Buddha. It's a pity that Wei Jianxiong was sent to Taihe County to search for books and missed a great opportunity, otherwise he would definitely have taken the opportunity to have a tryst with Chen.

The imperial examination of Guangxin Mansion has finally begun.

There were so many students applying for the exam that the examination room couldn't fit in, so they took the exam in batches on a county-by-county basis. This is a routine practice in Jiangxi and Zhejiang provinces.

For scholars, it is also a great opportunity to make money!

Each candidate not only needs a student from the county as a guarantor, but also a local student as a guarantor to participate in the government examination.

Linsheng is a student who can receive a salary, a scholar in the true sense. In one government examination, each person may vouch for more than ten candidates, and the living expenses for the year will be covered.

On the eighth day of April, Buddha's birthday, the Fucheng examination took place, and Zhao Han turned eleven years old.

Coincidentally, Zhao Han and Sakyamuni were born on the same day.

The entire academy is on holiday and there are many students taking exams. Many teachers also went to Fucheng to earn guarantor money as local students.

In the bamboo forest.

Xu Ying is memorizing "Mencius" silently.

Pang Chunlai held a cane and sat cross-legged in the center: "This method of setting up camp is nothing more than following two points. One is to consolidate oneself, and the other is to strangle the enemy. It is just about attacking and defending. Whether to attack or defend should be based on the actual situation..."

"Generally, when marching, you can camp in the mountains. If you are stationed at the foot of the mountain, you should also send people to occupy the mountains. In this way, you can prevent the enemy from sneak attacks. If you can back up the mountains and move towards the plains, with both offense and defense, it will be the best..."

"If there is a special military order, the main purpose is to suppress the enemy. Then the encampment location should be located at a water and land strategic point, which is equivalent to driving a nail into the enemy's back..."

"When camping, you must avoid water and fire. Especially in summer, you should not choose a humid place, otherwise it may be difficult for the seven armies to be flooded. In a place full of thorns, the enemy can easily sneak and conduct fire attacks. If there is really no place to choose, be sure to Clear away the thorns and weeds outside the camp..."

"Although we should be prepared for flooding, it is not possible without water. People rely on water to eat horse chews. The way to find water is to observe birds and beasts. Where wild horses, yellow sheep and flocks of birds gather, there is probably a water source nearby... …”

Zhao Han, Fei Ruhe, Fei Chun, and Fei Yuanjian are all sitting on the ground at this moment, listening very carefully. This is much more interesting than the Four Books and Five Classics.

After describing how to choose a camp, Pang Chunlai suddenly said: "Today we will stop talking about site selection, and tomorrow we will talk about setting up camp. I will test your arithmetic progress first."

"ah!"

Everyone except Zhao Han was wailing.

In fact, there is nothing terrible, it is just a mixed operation of addition, subtraction, multiplication and division.

I spent three fees slowly doing the questions, scratching my head and getting restless.

Pang Chunlai ignored these students and went to read ancient texts by himself. He liked Su Shi's "On Liuhou" and immediately shook his head and recited: "In ancient times, the so-called heroic people must have the integrity to surpass others. People can't bear to be tolerated, and ordinary people are humiliated. , draw your sword and stand up to fight, this is not enough to be brave..."

Xu Ying is still reading "Mencius" silently. He has a very good memory and can remember it by reading it silently four or five times at most. Then review it every day to deepen your memory and prevent you from forgetting it after too long.

Zhao Han had nothing to do, so he picked up the bamboo spear beside him.

He had practiced stabbing countless times, and not long ago, Wei Jianxiong taught him the art of blocking.

Blocking is much more complicated, and you must be both offensive and defensive. While blocking, you must be prepared to attack with different moves.

After practicing for a full quarter of an hour, Zhao Han turned around and found that Sanfei was still doing math problems. It seemed that the application problems in the lower grades of elementary school were difficult for them.

Finally, Fei Yuanjian held the papyrus and said, "Sir, I've made it."

Pang Chunlai took the piece of paper, looked at it, and nodded in approval: "Well done, you are making rapid progress."

Fei Yuanjian suddenly became happy. He was not as good as Xu Ying in endorsements and not as good as Fei Ruhe in fighting. He could only study arithmetic seriously so that he could find a sense of existence.

Zhao Han was also very happy and shouted: "Come here quickly and give me tricks."

To practice blocking, you can't do it alone, you have to have someone to fight with.

Fei Yuanjian is a loser. In the past, fighting relied on large numbers of people. During this time, he was practicing martial arts with Fei Ruhe. He raised a bamboo stick, and his attack was full of loopholes, but Zhao Han easily blocked it, and then he was hit in the shoulder by a counterattack.

"Again, there is something wrong with your center of gravity. Don't take too big a step forward." Zhao Han corrected his mistake.

Fei Yuanjian improved very quickly, and he made corrections through battles, without so many vain moves. After adjusting his pace, his shots became much more stable, but Zhao Han opened his weapon again, and his waist was hit by Zhao Han's counterattack.

While Fei Ruhe was doing the questions, he glanced towards the battle place, wishing he could join in immediately.

"Can't do it?" Pang Chunlai asked with a smile.

Fei Ruhe scratched his head and said, "Sir, this question is too difficult."

"nonsense!"

Pang Chunlai picked up his crutch and drew a line on the ground: "The main force of our army has traveled three hundred miles and marches fifty miles every day. The reinforcements march eighty miles every day..."

Fei Ruhe looked at the two lines on the ground and muttered, "If you had drawn the picture earlier, I would have made it earlier."

"Don't you know how to draw? Have I ever taught you?" Pang Chunlai scolded.

Fei Ruhe was anxious to fight, so he said, "Sir, if you ask the same question again, I will definitely be able to do it."

Pang Chunlai casually changed the content of the question, threw it to Fei Ruhe and said, "Take it and do it!"

Perhaps due to the attraction of eager to practice martial arts, Fei Ruhe seemed to suddenly have an idea. He drew line segments with bamboo branches and quickly completed the pursuit word problem.

He threw down the pen and paper, picked up his weapon, and laughed loudly: "I'll do it too!"

Fei Chun finally finished the questions and joined the battle group with a stick. The four of them divided into two groups for a big melee.

But Xu Ying, still not squinting, continued to read "Mencius" silently.

Pang Chunlai watched quietly. His eyesight was very poor and he could only see a few figures in the distance. But he was in a very happy mood, stroking his beard and smiling all the time, as if he had seen the day when the rebellion was successful.

This bad old man was very bad. When he was alone with Fei Yuanjian, he instilled all kinds of negative thoughts and tempted Fei Yuanjian to be hostile to his family.

Because his mother committed suicide, Fei Yuanjian deeply hated his tribe. Being induced like this by Pang Chunlai, his mentality gradually changed, and he only thought about seeking revenge from his tribe.

After a fight, everyone was exhausted.

Fei Ruhe sat down and gasped: "When we grow up, why not build a stronghold in Ehu Mountain. I will be the leader of the stronghold, Zhao Han will be the second master, Yuan Jian will be the third master, and Xu Ying will be the military advisor..."

"Master, what about me?" Fei Chun interrupted anxiously.

"As the shopkeeper, you will be in charge of the food, clothing and weapons in the village," Fei Ruhe said.

Fei Chun suddenly became happy: "Then I will be the shopkeeper." Then he became confused, "The northern foot of Ehu Mountain is our family, and most of the other places in Ehu Mountain belong to other branches of the Fei family. Who should we rob?"

Fei Yuanjian suddenly said: "Just rob the Fei family, rob the rich and give to the poor!"

"Yes, the Fei family has a great business, so it doesn't matter if they are robbed a few times." Fei Ruhe said stupidly.

Fei Chun came up with an idea: "Let me see, first grab Shitang Town, the paper mill there is very profitable!"

"Robbing them all, no matter which family they belong to." Fei Ruhe said, patting his big belly.

Qianshan Paper has a full range of paper categories, with dozens of types. Shitang Town only has the best paper, and there are several other papermaking bases like this.

In addition, there is also a tea production base, and Qianshanhe black tea is sold all over the world.

Zhao Han said in a joking tone: "What's the point of robbing the rich and giving to the poor? It's better to raise the flag and rebel."

Fei Ruhe was startled, stuck out his tongue and said: "That won't work, your head will be lost. There are so many good men in Liangshan, haven't they been recruited by the imperial court?"

"I'm just talking, haha." Zhao Han said with a smile.

Fei Chun whispered: "Brother, you can't say this nonsense. I heard that the nine tribes will be killed for rebellion."

"You're going to kill the Nine Tribes," Fei Ruhe said disdainfully. "When Prince Ning rebelled, if he really killed the Nine Tribes, my mother's family would have been gone. How can I still sit here and talk to you?"

Fei Ruhe's mother was from the Lou family in Jiujiang, the wife of King Ning.

Fei Chun patted his heart and said with lingering fear: "It would be better if we don't kill the nine tribes."

Fei Ruhe scolded: "What are you talking about? Is it possible that you really want to rebel?"

Fei Chun reacted suddenly: "Yes, I'm not going to rebel, so I don't care how many tribes he kills."

A few brats were talking nonsense, and Zhao Han smiled and sat down next to Master Pang.

Pang Chunlai said in a low voice: "I saw the Tang newspaper in the first month yesterday. The emperor ruled that Wei Zhongxian was guilty of treason, and it seemed that he was going to launch a large-scale imprisonment. Internal and external troubles, and court strife, it seems that the world is really in chaos."

Zhao Han shook his head and said: "If Jiangxi wants to be in chaos, it will have to suffer from severe disasters for many years."

"It's true. I'm afraid Jiangxi won't be in chaos," Pang Chunlai said. "In a few years, when you grow up, maybe we can go to the north."

"Let's talk about it then." Zhao Han was not in a hurry.

He had just turned eleven years old, and he was only twelve years old these days.

What can a little kid do?

The top priority is to seriously hone your skills and make some friends along the way.
