"Teacher, you shouldn't accept Cai's "New Meaning of the Three Classics", "Speech", "Yi Jie", "Analects of Confucius" and "Mencius' Interpretations"."

When Wu Haogu and Mi Youren and Ximen Qing left Cai’s mansion together and halfway to the Wu family, Mi Youren frowned and talked to Wu Haogu, as if he was blaming his teacher.

"Isn't it just a few books," Wu Haogu was a little distracted. "Yuanhui, if you think it's not good, just don't look at it."

At this time, the imperial examinations in the Song Dynasty were also affected by the struggle between the old and the new parties. When the old party was in power, they used poetry to win scholars, and after the new party came to power, they would change to the classics to win scholars, which made the scholars all over the world at a loss.

The meaning of the classics is to make a fuss, which is similar to the imperial examination in later generations that used an eight-part article to determine the future of the candidate.

What kind of classic meaning should be used to recruit scholars? It is naturally the theory of Wang Anshi, the founder of the New Party, Jing Gong Xinxue. It is mainly the "Three New Classic Meanings" and "Legends", among which the "Three New Classic Meanings" are "Poetry Meanings", "Book Meanings", and "Zhou Li Yi Meanings". In addition, the "Yi Jie", "The Analects of Confucius" and "Mencius Meanings" written by other new party elders are also the meanings that may be used in the imperial examination.

The essence of these meanings is to use Wang Anshi and other important members of the new party to understand the ways of Confucius and Mencius.

According to the views of the old party figures, he believed that Wang Anshi and the new party's practice were to replace the teachings of Confucius and Mencius with their own ideas, so he was extremely disgusted.

"What's so good?" Mi Youren sighed, "These are all new books learned by King Jing. They are the current Shilin clan, and the annotations of King Jinggong's son-in-law Cai Yuandu. Of course, they are powerful tools in the imperial examination. But after we have learned the knowledge of the Cai clan, we are almost the same as the Cai clan."

What? What? You can join the party after taking a few books? Isn’t the threshold for joining the party too low?

Wu Haogu asked uncertainly: "We...we are the new party now?"

"No, not yet." Mi Youren said, "If we can go to high school after reading the scriptures commented by Cai's family, we will undoubtedly be disciples of Cai's brothers, and we will be members of the new party."

It turns out that there are still thresholds for joining the party. You must be a Jinshi or a civil servant rank to reach a certain level before you can join the new party. Otherwise, you will be a lackey of the new party at most.

"Oh," Wu Haogu breathed a sigh of relief, "Then are you in a hurry? You and I are not in high school yet."

"Isn't this a big competition soon?" Mi Youren frowned, "If you get a high school student, you have to go to the Cai Mansion to say thank you and hand over the disciple. In the future, Cai Jing will be the whole party."

Wu Haogu thought: This is a problem. Cai Jing is a treacherous minister. If he joins the Cai party, wouldn’t he become a treacherous minister?

Mi Youren was still saying: "In fact, if the emperor is strong and strong, it would be okay to become Cai Jing's party... There are people above, so it is easy for officials to be an official. But the health of the official family is not very good now. What if the empress dowager comes to the court again, what should I do?"

Empress Dowager Xiang is the backstage of the old party. If he is allowed to rule from behind the curtain, he will definitely denounce all the people in the new party. At that time, Mi Youren and Wu Haogu might also follow him and fall in love with melons.

Moreover, Mi Youren is a person from a noble circle, so he naturally tends toward the old party. Now he may be labeled as a new party, so he is naturally very nervous - don’t make trouble until the end of the day!

However, Wu Haogu was not worried about this because he knew that Cai Jing was extremely prosperous in Huizong. Moreover, Empress Dowager Xiang didn't seem to have been away from the curtain for too long, so he probably wouldn't live long... Most of the time he couldn't reach his high school, Empress Dowager Xiang had already passed away.

"Don't worry," Wu Haogu said with a smile. "It's not easy to get a Jinshi. I'm afraid I don't have such knowledge as a teacher. I don't want to do this subject anymore. You should work hard or have hope. You should get the Jinshi first and talk about other things later. Besides, even if you pass the Jinshi, you are probably an official who joins the military or a chief clerk. What's there to be afraid of? After a few years of work, King Duan will always take charge of the rule?"

Mi Youren thought for a while and nodded, "The teacher is right... It's better to get the Jinshi first. However, Jinshi is not easy. It's not easy to rely on self-study alone. It requires a famous teacher to teach it."

"Famous teacher?" Wu Haogu frowned, "Where can we find a famous teacher?"

Wu Haogu did not think he could take the route of the imperial examinations at first. In fact, he has not taken this right path now. He is following the evil path of doing business and flattering, but when he reached a certain level, he began to think that a Jinshi status was very useful.

Even if he was the last official Jinshi (there was a special Jinshi in the Song Dynasty, which was used to appease the poor and poor who failed many exams, and was not a real person, and generally would not be given to officials), it would greatly facilitate his future schooling and socializing in the officialdom.

Of course, he would not be able to go to high school by looking for the right path, even if he got the "secret book for imperial examinations" given by Cai Jing. But if Song Huizong wanted to help cheat, he could still get the Jinshi.

However, Wu Haogu’s articles must be able to pass on! Otherwise, the penis of Song Huizong would not be easy to open.

"Teacher, let me think about it." Mi Youren thought, "There are some famous teachers in the Imperial College and the Imperial College... the gentlemen from folk academies are not good, and what they have learned cannot cope with the imperial examination."

Wang Anshi's "Three New Classics" has hit folk academies very hard, because folk academies often represent various schools, such as Guanxue, Luoxue, and Shuxue, each with their own understanding of the ways of Confucius and Mencius.

Moreover, everyone's research on the ways of Confucius and Mencius is based on research since the Han Dynasty and Tang Dynasty. However, Wang Anshi's "Three New Classics" launched by him negates the research since the Han Dynasty and Tang Dynasty, which is called "the predecessors passed down and not everything is used." This also negates the research results accumulated by a large number of folk Confucian academies over the years.

Regardless of who is right and wrong, if you want to take the exam, you have to study Wang Anshi's knowledge. Therefore, the Imperial College, Imperial College, local government and state schools have become the best place for Jinggong New Learning to learn "exam-oriented".

However, Wu Haogu could not go to Taixue and Fuxue. It was not that he could not get in, but that he did not have this skill.

"Teacher," Mi Youren thought for a while and said, "I'll help you think of a solution. When you come back from Liao Kingdom, I will definitely help you find a gentleman who can teach you."

"Okay, one word is certain."

...

"Fangzhen?"

Zhang Dun was listening to Ji Yi and Zhang Yi's reward in his study. While listening, he unconsciously tapped the desk with his fingers.

This condition is actually not something that cannot be considered... Although Zhang Dun is a civil servant, he really understands military affairs. He knows that the more things he does in war, the better. Therefore, he cannot recommend the Yan Yun family who wants to surrender.

Moreover, the Song Dynasty liked to play a glass of wine to pardon military power, but wanted to "pardon military power", and had to first turn people into their own subordinates. Not to mention a glass of wine, even a jar of wine could not be pardoned.

We can first use the Yanyun family as the governor of the Song Dynasty, and then negotiate terms for the military power... Don’t the generals who were pardoned from the military power at the beginning of the country live quite freely now? We can’t enjoy all the glory and wealth!

In comparison, the five-generation military commander of Tang Dynasty was not that good? A group of soldiers had a military chaos every few days, and they might be asked to kill someone at any time!

Zhang Dun thought of this and said to Ji Yi: "Yizhi, do you understand military affairs?"

"I don't understand very much." Ji Yi shook her head.

He knew enough, including Ming Cult, Confucianism, business, flattery, and a few foreign languages. He also knew about navigation. If he had to understand military affairs, he would not be able to do it.

"Well," Zhang Dun thought for a while, "Then find someone who knows what he knows... that Tong Guan understands military affairs, right?"

"I understand." Zhang Yi said, "He is Li Xian's apprentice and has been on the front line of the Western Army for many years."

"Okay!" Zhang Dun nodded, "Just ask him to go and have a look... Since those people want to be the commander of the town, they must have the ability to be the commander of the town."

Of course, you need to have strength if you want to be a Jiedushi. And the combat power of these Yanyun clans cannot be seen by the two laymen Ji Yi and Wu Haogu.

...

At this time, Wu Haogu had already returned to his house with Ximen Qing.

Wu Haogu lives in a large house now, and there are many people living in it, but they all live in the main courtyard and the West Triple Courtyard. He is the only one in Wu Haogu’s East Triple Courtyard, Ximen Qing and Xiaopinger.

Xiao Ping'er was not at home, so he probably went to Pan Qiaolian to report. Wu Haogu didn't care much, so he ordered his servants to get some wine and food, and drank with Ximen Qing in his inner living room. While eating, Wu Haogu also asked about purchasing land in Haizhou and Xuzhou.

"How much land do you want to buy?" Ximen Qing asked.

"A thousand hectares."

"One thousand... acres?"

"Not acre, it's hectares."

"That's... 100,000 acres?" Ximen Qing was a little surprised, "That would cost a lot."

"Money is not a problem." Wu Haogu's answer was very domineering. He was facing various problems now, and he might be regarded as a traitor. The only thing that didn't have a problem is money... isn't it money!

"Money is not a problem," Ximen Qing looked at Wu Haogu, "Then it's no problem... I'll write a letter to my eldest father and ask him to think of a solution."

"Sister," Wu Haogu said again, "What I want is to connect the land, at least part of it must be connected to it."

Selling 100,000 mu of land was not a problem in the Song Dynasty. The Song Dynasty did not suppress annexation, so land transactions were naturally very active. However, it was a bit difficult to buy large areas of land. Because of the frequent transactions and inheritance of land, the land ownership was fragmented, and small pieces of land could be bought.

"You must have the land of Xu and Haizhou?" Ximen Qing frowned, "Can the land on Hebei East Road work?"

Because Hebei East Road is often flooded, there are many open spaces, so it is not difficult to find large areas of land.

"I don't want Hebei, but the land of Huaiyang Army, Lianshui Army and Mizhou is also OK." Wu Haogu said three more places.
