The night is low, and the yellow-thorne-topped roof of the southern foot of Yuntai Mountain belongs to the ancient Wuhaozhuang. It is now renamed Yuxianzhuang. The lights are alienated. The subordinates are female envoys, coming and going.

The reason was no different. The owner of this place, Wu Haogu, who had not been here for more than two years since he bought the courtyard, finally arrived. He also brought a wife and concubine, a saint of the Ming Cult, a female crusade, Oliga, a sage of the crusade, and a large group of maids, all moved into this not-too-spacious courtyard. It immediately gave the place a feeling of glory.

Although Wu Haogu also has a newly built mansion on the edge of Suchenggang on Yuzhou Island, it is now occupied by Er Su and their students' families and will become part of Yuntai Academy in the future.

According to Wu Haogu's vision, Yuzhou Island in the future will be a Confucian holy land, just like the Christian Vatican, and it will even be more important than the Christian Vatican. Because Yuzhou Island, which has an area of ​​dozens of square kilometers, is not considered large, but is also a county. If you plan carefully, it is more than enough to set up a base camp for Confucian mission.

The main part of Yuzhou Island is Yuntai Mountain. It is not a mountain or high mountain, but consists of fifty-eight mountains that are not tall or large. Between the peaks, there are also small valleys distributed between the peaks. There are very few flat land, which is a small narrow area around Sucheng Town and Sucheng Port. The widest part is about three and a half miles long, about seven and eight square kilometers long. It is still very possible to arrange it carefully.

Of course, the academy is the main body, including five major blocks, including administrative districts, teaching areas, sacrificial areas, residential areas and storage areas. They will occupy about two square kilometers. In the future, they will be surrounded by city walls to form a Confucian school city.

Sucheng Port will be the second only to the Academy, including four parts: port area, commercial area, shipyard and storage area. Of course, embankments and defense facilities will also be built, and the area is expected to reach two square kilometers.

The remaining less than four square kilometers will be divided into three parts: water storage lake area, horse farm area and vegetable farm area.

The function of a water storage lake is to supply water to the Academy and the Port Area. There is no shortage of rainfall on Yuzhou Island, and there are streams everywhere, but there are no large rivers and lakes. If there is a long-term drought, it is prone to water shortage. If the island has a large population, it will be difficult to drink water. Therefore, a water storage lake is a must.

The purpose of building a horse farm on the island is not to raise many horses, but to train doctors in the academy - doctors must not only learn how to ride horses, but also learn the skills of archery, fencing and array combat. Therefore, there must be a relatively spacious training ground.

The vegetable farming area is a place that provides vegetables, poultry and eggs for the Academy and Port Area. In the future, the grain and meat on Yuzhou Island will definitely rely on sea transportation and supplies, and fish can be eaten by the sea, which is not a problem. It is best to replenish vegetables, poultry and eggs nearby, so some vegetable fields must be retained on Yuzhou Island.

In addition to being a holy land of Confucianism, there is also an industry with a lot of wealth on Yuzhou Island - Yunwu Tea. Yunwu Tea has existed in Yuntai Mountain for a long time, and Haizhou itself is also an important tea producing area. However, the brands of Haizhou tea and Yunwu Tea have not been well developed for a long time, so it is not as famous as the tribute tea in Fenghuang Mountain, Fujian. However, in terms of the quality of tea, Yunwu Tea growing on Yuntai Mountain is definitely the best. It is no worse than the tribute tea in Fenghuang Mountain, Jianzhou. Now there is Wu Haogu, the "advertising master", and Su Dongpo, a popular fan, and the sage king Song Huizong himself helped to praise it, so he can definitely make a famous tea.

In addition to hyping Yunwu Tea in China, Wu Haogu also plans to link the spread of tea with the spread of Confucian culture. If tea, tea sets, milk tea, tea culture and so on are sent out, will there be an additional industry to support Confucian missionary in the future?

The spread of Confucianism certainly requires confusing thoughts (Neo-Confucianism is good), and requires an armed doctor, but it cannot be without the support of money. It is not possible to rely solely on Wu Haogu to pay privately. He does have money, but he is a living person with birth, old age, sickness and death. In the future, he is gone, will his heirs still be willing to use his own property to support the spread of Confucianism? Of course, it is impossible.

Moreover, although the expansion of the scale of the Confucian tutoring group must be a bottomless pit. Therefore, it is impossible to rely on the financial resources of a consortium or a family to support it. The Confucian tutoring group must have its own financial resources - it is probably impossible to collect tithes taxes when studying Christianity, and selling indulgences. It is a feasible source of financial resources to collect tuition fees for running schools and apprentices, but it is not large enough. If the fees are too high, no one will come, so it cannot support a huge tutoring group.

Then it is imperative to develop affiliated industries and business territory... In addition to education and tea export, Wu Haogu could also think of exporting traditional Chinese medicine and manors affiliated to overseas Confucian academies. If possible, a city-state affiliated to the academies or even a doctoral group country must be established!

In short, the spread of Confucianism must become a profitable industry in order to continue to develop.

Just as Wu Haogu was guarding the hall of Yuxianzhuang, thinking about the major events of Confucian communication and development, while waiting for his mentor Su Dongpo and five Sumen disciples to come to the banquet, the family banquet to entertain Su Dongpo and several Sumen disciples had already been set up.

The family banquet was placed in the flower hall of Yuxianzhuang, with mixed water and land, and it was all carefully prepared Kaifeng dishes. It was not the common food sharing system for a few people in the banquets of scholars and officials, but two large square tables were arranged, with a few women alone, Wu Haoguze, Su Men master and apprentice, and Mi Youren.

Under the command of Pan Qiaolian and Ximen Qing, seven or eight female envoys were already putting cold vegetables, dried fruits and candied fruits in place one by one. Because they could see Su Dongpo, the "male god", Pan Qiaolian seemed a little excited. She was a fan of Su Dongpo, and she could recite all the lyrics filled in by Su Dongpo. However, when she thought that her own official had entered Dongpo's disciple now and was still a great talent who could discuss the truth with the great scholars, Pan Qiaolian became even more happy and excited.

Ximen Qing was a little worried. Today was obviously a family banquet, Pan Qiaolian and herself were Dalang's wives and concubines, Su Dongpo was Dalang's old mentor, Su Jun's fifth disciple was Dalang's senior brother, and Mi Youren was his apprentice. But what happened to Madam Mo and Madam Ao? Why are they here too? Is Dalang's concubine team going to expand again...

Outside the flower hall, there were suddenly sounds of boots, but a group of people walked towards it. Pan Qiaolian jumped up from the chair and greeted her with a smile. Ximen Qing, who was originally standing behind Pan Qiaolian, also put away his jealousy, attacked Mo and Oliga, and greeted her together.

After the door of the flower hall was pushed open, Wu Haogu, who was wearing Confucian uniform, walked in with Su Dongpo talking and laughing. Behind them, there were five Sumen disciples and Mi Youren.

Pan Qiaolian hurriedly greeted her, Yingying was blessed and greeted her with a crisp voice: "Official, Mr. Su..."

Wu Haogu nodded and introduced to Su Dongpo with a smile: "Teacher, this is the inner son Pan Shiba, this is Sister Ximen who married with Pan Shiba."

Su Dongpo had long heard that Mi Youren had been with Wu Haogu's wife and concubine, so he nodded at them.

As he spoke, Wu Haogu suddenly waved to Mo Madam and Oliga again: "Mo Li, Oliga, come here too."

us?

When Madam Mo heard this, she was stunned. She didn't know what role she was going to play in this family dinner tonight? Do she want to perform singing and dancing to entertain her?

In addition, she didn't know what role she was around Wu Haogu? She definitely wasn't a concubine, nor was she an outer room, but she had to be honest... but she had followed her all the way to Haizhou and moved into Wu Haogu's back house.

Oliga was quite open-minded, she was not as entangled as Mo Madam. She was just the daughter of the head of the Eastern Roman mercenary, and she was not a nun who dedicated herself to God. Even if she slept with her wealthy master Wu Haogu, there was nothing wrong with it. Wu Haogu was not a hateful Saracen...

So the girl from the Balkans jumped up and walked forward without performing a blessing, but performed a curtsy, pulled up her long skirt, bent her knees, and said in Latin: "May the Lord bless you, my dear sir."

"What she said is..." Su Dongpo asked blankly.

"She spoke Latin," Wuhao's ancient saying, "meaning 'May God bless you, respected sir'."

Of course, Wu Haogu couldn't understand Latin or Greek. He took care of Oliga in advance and said this.

"God?" Su Dongpo still didn't understand.

What is God?

"God is the God of the Western Cross, and they are called the Lord or Gad." Wu Haogu explained, "The Nestorians here are a branch of the Western Cross, and Araha Heavenly Lord is God."

"Oh." Su Dongpo nodded. He knew Nestorian. It was a bit similar to Taoism (Nestlory in Chinese learns Taoism), and it seemed to be from the West during the Tang Dynasty.

At this time, Madam Mo also came up and spoke in Persian: "May Mingzun give you happiness and light."

"Are you Madam Mo?" Su Dongpo recognized Madam Mo, "Are you a Cross?"

"No," said Mo Madam, "the slave is a Persian, a Persian Manichaeus."

She had no nerve to say that she was a saint because she felt that she had been a little bit bad by Wu Haogu and became less and less "saint".
