"Have you heard it? Mr. Dongpo has been reinstated as a bachelor of Longtu Pavilion and has been promoted to Chaosan Doctor!"

"Of course I heard that the scholars in Yuntaizhuang and Sucheng Town are all spreading."

"Is this a big use? Is it time to be a Hanlin Bachelor or a Zhongshu Sheren in the next step?"

"It seems that no, I heard that the official has taken a fancy to Mr. Dongpo's erudition and wants to ask him to preside over the Yuntai Academy."

"Yuntai Academy? Is it here in Yuntai Mountain?"

"Yes, you don't know yet? It's in Yuntai Mountain... It seems that it was proposed by Mr. Han that a school in Haizhou would be set up to be responsible for the major events of spreading the teachings of Confucius and Mencius."

"Yeah, spreading the Great Way, isn't that the same as the saints back then? This is an important matter!"

"By the way, I heard that when the great edict of appointing Mr. Dongpo to preside over the Yuntai Academy arrives, Yuntai Academy will recruit students!"

"Yes? I know how to recruit?"

"It seems like an exam..."

Within twenty or thirty days after the Er Su brothers received the imperial edict, many students and scholars who came here came to Yuntai Fairy Mountain. They filled the guest rooms in Yuntai Village without entering. They also lived in the large and small inns in Sucheng Town and the Faqi Temple near Yuntai Village. They all came to study with scholars who came to study spontaneously.

Everyone under the Dongpo school also warmly welcomed the scholars who gathered. Not only did they live in Yuntaizhuang, but they also arranged for Sumen's children or bachelors and gentlemen to come out to teach in person every day. They also spoke, saying that they wanted to pass the exam to select students to attend Yuntai Academy.

Now the scholars on Mount Yuntai were talking about it. This Yuntai Academy should be an official school at the first level of Imperial Academy, Martial Arts, and Imperial Academy? Isn’t the Jixia Academy in Qi State the State of the Warring States Period the official school opened by the King of Qi?

So, are students from Yuntai Academy the same as those of the Imperial Academy, martial arts, and Imperial College students who have the opportunity to be appointed as officials?

If you can be appointed as an official and enter the Dongpo school, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!

"Brother Congbin, you are familiar with Lu Shun, do you know what kind of knowledge you want to take?"

Fan Zhiwen has been doing very well in Yuntaizhuang these days. Lu Haowen, who came with him, is now staying in Yuntaizhuang and is still a "sir". He has not been worshipped by Dongpo. His father is a scholar and he doesn't have to worship Su Dongpo anymore. However, he also gave lectures with Mr. Dongpo's disciples. He talked about the great way of Neo-Confucianism (he is also a Neo-Confucianist), which is to preserve the laws of heaven and destroy human desires, etc.

Oh, by the way, not everyone in Dongpo's school will come out to give lectures.

Among them, Wu Haogu, the most knowledgeable one, has never been on the podium. He just came to Yuntaizhuang occasionally to listen to lectures and see how others teach students so that they can prepare for themselves on the podium in the future. He is preparing to open a "small path" in the future, specifically teaching students how to get all evil money... I don't know if anyone comes to learn it?

However, the bachelors and gentlemen under Mr. Dongpo taught in Yuntaizhuang very much, including poetry, songs, paintings, Confucianism, which made the students who listened to the lecture a little confused. They didn’t know what to take during the Yuntai Academy admissions exam in the future? That’s why people often ask about Fan Zhiwen, who has a good relationship with Lu Haowen.

"Taking Confucianism plus a talent," Fan Zhiwen really knew. He frowned and replied, "Confucianism examines the Five Classics and Theory, which is similar to the imperial examination. Talents can be selected as martial arts, poetry, songs, painting, calligraphy, mathematics, creation, medical skills, foreign languages, etc. As long as you know the same, it's fine."

"how so?"

"Yes, we are scholars, so it's fine to take pictures of poetry, songs and calligraphy. These martial arts, painting, mathematics, creation, etc. are all inexperienced paths."

Fan Zhiwen shook his head: "You don't even look at what kind of person Mr. Dongpo we are going to worship?"

"That's right. Isn't Dongpo's pork and Dongpo's elbows created by Mr. Dongpo? He is a big road and a small road."

"That's true...but what kind of path can we take out?"

Everyone is a little embarrassed. As scholars, they are good at poetry, songs and calligraphy, but can they really show their ugliness under the school of Dongpo? And everyone will choose poetry, songs and calligraphy at that time, so wouldn’t they have to keep improving?

"Brother Congbin must choose swordsmanship, right?" Someone remembered the black cloud sword that Fan Zhiwen brought by his side.

"Uh," Fan Zhiwen smiled bitterly, "We are just for self-defense, not for exams..."

In fact, he can't even take the swordsmanship exam! Although the ancestors of the Fan family left behind the Black Cloud Sword, they didn't leave the swordsmanship notes. Why don't they keep the swordsmanship? Is it a mistake for their own children? So Fan Zhiwen couldn't learn swordsmanship. Now he can only worry about the future entrance exams!

...

"Chongdao, what are you talking about?"

"I said that building ships is also a big deal. There is a naval school under Yuntai Academy."

"The boat is opened under Yuntai Academy, Naval Academy? East Gate, are you kidding me? Since ancient times, how can the boat boss go to school?"

At this time, Wu Haogu was drinking tea and chatting with Wu Yanen, the old man from the Wu family in Haizhou, in the most luxurious house in Qushan County.

In a month in Haizhou, it was not the first time he had come to Qushan County to visit Wu Yanen, and he had been familiar with the old man.

Today, he did not let Ximen Qing accompany him, but brought Pan Qiaolian and Ao Niangzi. In the Wu family's guest hall, Wu Haogu made a request that Wu Yanen had never expected, and wanted to ask Wu Yanen to serve as a professor at Yuntai Academy, and teaches "the study of navigation" and "the study of shipbuilding". Wu Haogu also told Wu Yanen that the subordinates of Yuntai Academy would have a sailing school! Specializing in teaching maritime transportation, shipbuilding and naval battles!

"Mr. Tinghai," Wu Haogu was very sincere, calling Wu Yanen's name, "You should know that the purpose of the imperial court setting up the Yuntai Academy was to spread Confucian Taoism outside... This matter is beneficial to all of us. Now, the island countries in Nanyang have all passed on the Tianfang Sect and Brahmin Taoism, which naturally excluded us Han people's maritime merchants. Therefore, Confucian going to sea is very beneficial to sea merchants like Mr. Tinghai.

To go to sea, the Yuntai Academy must have its own fleet and sailors... and the fleet cannot be equipped with merchant ships, but must be warships that can move quickly. In order to better build ships and train sailors, I feel that it is necessary to open a school.

And Mr. Tinghai is the one who can serve as a professor of ship administration. I hope Mr. Tinghai will not refuse."

Wu Yanen saw that Wu Haogu was serious and his old face became solemn.

The knowledge of maritime transportation, shipbuilding and naval warfare is the foundation for the Wu family's maritime merchants to settle down on the sea! How can they be easily passed on to others?

However, the skills of sailing, shipbuilding and naval battles are not unique to the Wu family. Wu Haogu and Su Dongpo have a way to play. If they get help from others, wouldn’t the Wu family in Haizhou be useless to be villains?

Now, Wu Haogu and the Wu family in Haizhou have a good relationship. There is no need to have a quarrel, right? Otherwise, let’s deal with it.

Just as Wu Yanen thought of this, Wu Haogu spoke again: "Mr. Tinghai, I am not going to steal the business of the Wu family in Haizhou in Xiahe Yuntai Academy. I have heard of the strength of your Wu family in the northern seas. My official has heard of it. If my official's Republic of China really wants to enter the sea, it may not necessarily open up the situation if he spends millions of dollars. If he invests so much money elsewhere, he can make tens of millions of dollars."

This is actually to be honest. How much money can be compared with real estate in Kaifeng Prefecture? It is not just a direct discovery of the new continent, but a trade between Goryeo, Japan, Haizhou and Mingzhou. Even the coastal areas of Liao cannot be inserted there. The Han Han tyrants in Yanyun were controlled by them, and the Wu family did not dare to turn against them, otherwise they could put pressure on the Song Dynasty and Goryeo through diplomatic channels, saying that the Wu family in Haizhou was a pirate.

"If you want people and boats in the east gate, just open your mouth." Wu Yanen smiled, "Why do you have to run a school so much trouble?"

"Because your ship and people cannot meet the requirements of your official!" Wu Haogu also told him, "If you want someone to ask for a ship, your Wu family in Haizhou, Ji Yizhi's Pingjiang Ji family, and Aladdin Chamber of Commerce can all ask for some.

But sailing is also a way! The sea is so vast, the overseas countries are as numerous as cows, and there are so many wealth coming and going from the sea... How can we not pay attention to the way of sailing? Mr. Tinghai thinks that now my maritime merchants and pirates in the Song Dynasty have all learned the way of sailing? They can dominate the world, let me come and go?"

"this……"

Wu Yanen frowned, still a little hesitant. Because he knew Wu Haogu's ability to do business... What kind of person in the painting is the best person in the profiteering business is right! If Wu Haogu really squeezes into the sea, he doesn't know what tricks he will play with.

"Mr. Tinghai," Wu Haogu looked at Old Man Wu and suddenly laughed, "Do you know the "Republic Trade Agreement"?"

"I know." Wu Yanen nodded.

Wu Haogu Yixiao: "Do you want to build a Wu family's autonomous commercial city?"

"What?" Wu Yanen was stunned, "How is it possible? My family is a businessman, how can the court be..."

"It's not about the court's affairs," Wu Haogu waved his hand quickly, "The world is so big that it is not only the land of the Song Dynasty that there are harbors."

There were actually two "free markets" on the land of the Song Dynasty, and they were all related to Wu Haogu! One is Jiehe Commercial City, the legitimate "free market", and the other is Tianya Town "Shiyi" or "Business Agreement", the essence is actually the same.

In addition, in the future, Donghai County where the Yuntai Academy is located may also have considerable autonomy... However, the market that Wu Haogu planned to bring to the Wu family was not on the land of the Song Dynasty.

"What the East Gate is talking about..." Wu Yanen asked.
