Chapter 559 Big Stone

Dozens of light cavalry with messy clothes rolled over the land covered with white snowflakes, and headed straight to the north of the Beicheng of Jiehe Shangshi. Most of these light cavalry with messy clothes were young people, and everyone looked happy and energetic. Half of them were dressed in Han's clothes, and half were wearing Khitan-style robes, but everyone wore Khitan-style snow hats on their heads.

The equestrians are all excellent. Everyone has uncastrated stallions under their crotch. They run like flying when they spread their hooves, and they are bumpy up and down. However, the teenagers on the horses were as steady as they were on the flat ground. A few of them even showed off their horses, straightened their bodies on the horses, looked ahead, and saw the red brick walls of Jiehe Shangshi North City, as well as the colorful flags fluttering in the wind on the top of the city, and shouted excitedly.

"It's really a red wall! Is this made of red earth? All the soil on the Jiehe River is red?"

"Don't embarrass you, Tie Niu, don't be embarrassed. Jiehe Market is not a Tucheng, but a brick city! It's made of red bricks of countless thousands of pieces!"

"Grandma, you bully Tie Niu, I'm honest! Although the walls of this Zhenhe River are not high, they are very wide. How many bricks are they built with bricks and stones? I'm afraid that it's not enough to use up all the bricks in Shangjing?"

"Hahaha, Tieniu, you know how to go to the capital, right? There are so many big cities in the world. In terms of prosperity and prosperity in our Daliao, we really can't rank!"

"Big Dog, if we can't get a ranking in Shangjing, you can get a ranking in Yanjing where you live? Isn't Yanjing City also an earthen wall?"

"Of course, Yanjing is not good either. If you want to say that the world's big cities are more than the southerners. However, those big cities cannot be compared with the Jiehe River."

"Is it because the Border River has red walls?"

"The red wall is one, which is repaired with red bricks! Not only does the Hebei City have red bricks, but it is many times larger than the Beicheng City. The city walls of Henan City are also all red bricks! Moreover, the houses in Jiehe City are all brick walls! They are all as strong as mountains! Compared to the Junzhou in my family, the sky and the earth are gone. I am afraid that the bricks in the Daliao are no longer used by anyone in a city!

This is not the most strange thing. The most strange thing is that Jiehe Commercial City has only been two years since its construction started. It has only been two years! It has been a high city on the ground, and the money for building the city is taken out by merchants!"

"What? It's all the money paid by merchants? Why are these merchants from the Southern Dynasty so rich? They are so envious..."

These young men sitting on horseback and talking and laughing in a blink of an eye drove their horses to the jurisdiction of the Beicheng City of Jiehe Shang City. The horse's hooves stepped onto the rocky avenue, and rolled over the yards of piles of wood on both sides of the official road like a gust of wind. The police patrols of Jiehe Shang City who were on duty next to these wooden piles were too lazy to even look at these young men who were galloping on horseback.

Needless to say, these are the children of the nobles of the Liao Kingdom who were fooled by the Jiehe Branch of the Luoshizi Yuntai Academy.

The nobles of the Liao Kingdom are really not comparable to those in front of the Chanyuan Alliance. If they don’t see them fighting and killing, they will just look at them eating vegetarian food and chanting Buddha and cultivating temples. Most of the nobles of the Liao Kingdom who came to Jiehe Market to take refuge are like this. They rarely see them hunting outside the city. They only see that they either soak in Wanda Wazi, Evergrande Wazi, or go to Daxiangguo Temple to burn incense. They don’t look like barbarians at all.

However, the head of state on Jiehe, who was obviously a painting boy, is now a martial artist. He went out to hunt every few days and asked the public officials to take the archery exam... Recently, he was still struggling with a Lao Shizi Shooting Grand Prix, and the first place prize was 10,000 pieces of silk! He was really willing to do so!

He also spent money (actually the money from the Maritime Service) built the Jiehe Branch of the Yuntai Academy outside the west gate of Jienan City. He has also been recruiting students during this period and also has to take the exam for archery and horse riding... Who can ride a horse and archery? In other words, these young nobles from the North who have not lost their wildness meet the requirements.

...

I don’t know when the Khitans in the northern part began to be afraid of the cold. In spring and summer, they were in Shangjing, Zhongjing or Junzhou, the north of the mountain. After the autumn wind blew, they went south across Yanshan and moved into the most prosperous Yanjing city in the entire Liao Kingdom.

Therefore, Murong Wanwangyou and Wu Haogu also seized this opportunity and distributed 100,000 exquisitely printed admission advertisements in Xijin Prefecture City through Ma Zhi, deputy envoy of Nanjing Road Police Police of Liao Kingdom.

He also played the sign of "Dongpo's disciple" and shouted the slogan "For the benevolence of heaven and earth, to live in the people, to spread the great way for the holy world, to bring peace to the world", and of course there is also a discount for exempting all tuition and miscellaneous fees...

All tuition and miscellaneous fees are exempted from charges, and these noble children from the North don’t care. Although they are not rich, they still have these money. As for the “Four PhDs”, they don’t understand. What really attracts them is actually the name “Dongpo disciple”.

Su Dongpo was an "international talent" in the late Northern Song Dynasty. He not only had countless local fans in the Song Dynasty, but also had great reputations in Liao, Goryeo, and even in Japan. The reason why he was so unlucky that he was demoted to Danzhou was actually related to his fame.

The superficial reason for his derogation seemed to be that in "Huzhou Xie Shang Table", he wrote the words "Your Majesty knows that he is stupid and unhappy, and it is difficult to follow the newcomer; he can observe that he is old and does not cause trouble, or he can shepherd the common people." However, the fundamental reason is actually the dispute between the school.

Su Dongpo was the leader of the literary world and also a scholar of Suzhou and Shu. At that time, Zhang Zai was a person of the same level as Ercheng. He became a thorn in the eyes of the new party who wanted to implement the new learning and new policies, and was beaten up.

However, the result of his evil punishment was that he was praised by Confucian scholars from various countries who did not know the truth, and he really regarded him as a talented scholar. He was even more popular in the Liao Dynasty. Almost every Confucian scholar regarded Su's studies as Confucian orthodox, and regarded Wang Anshi's new studies as pseudo-school.

Therefore, the "Dongpo disciple" really has great appeal among the children of the Liao nobles in Xijin Mansion who are doing nothing, and they are idle anyway. It is better to go to Jiehe Shangshi to study. Even if you can't learn anything, the title of "Dongpo disciple" is worth it.

It was precisely because of this idea that three well-known figures in the circle of noble children of Yanjing, the Hengzhang Royal Family, the eighth-generation grandson of Abaoji, Xiao Tieniu, who came from the other family of the uncle, and Han Dagou from the Han family in Yutian, each gathered a group of friends and went south to Jiehe, a half-Song and half-Liao merchant city, to study.

These dozens of Liao teenagers who were rushing to the scene were finally stopped by the police guarding the gate outside the open north door.

It’s not that you don’t allow it to enter, but you need to register your name and ask about your purpose. If you plan to live in the mayor of Jiehe Shang, you have to apply for a household registration book. If it’s just a short-term visit, then you can just send a card.

Just as the police inspectors registered and issued cards one by one, Xiao Tieniu, who had just debated with Yelu Dashi and Han Dagou, had already seen clearly the red bricks that formed the city wall.

"Grandma, she's really a red brick. How rich is Jiehe Shangcheng City!"

Yelu Dashi, who is about fifteen or sixteen years old, has a face with a font of Zhang Guo, has white skin, and the childishness on his face has not yet faded, but has a very burly figure, laughed cheerfully: "Iron Niu, aren't it just a few bricks? Looks like you are greedy. When you lose your name, I will give you ten kilograms of bricks back to Yanjing, which is not in vain."

The boy named Xiao Tieniu is younger than Yelu Dashi. He looks only twelve or thirteen years old, and is a little stupid. After hearing Dashi's joke, he thought seriously and said, "I don't want a brick. Just give me a few kilograms of Jiehe Wine Fairy! I heard that it is the best wine in the world, and my father likes it the most."

Jiuzhongxian has already achieved mass production in Panlou Restaurant in Jiehe Shang City. This distilled white wine is very popular in Liao Kingdom, and it is so difficult to find a wine.

The young man named Han Dagou is the oldest of the three, about twenty years old. He is a native of Yanjing and a gangster of the Han family in Yutian. His family bought a house in Jiehe Market and ran a timber farm, which is the richest.

When he heard Xiao Tieniu ask for wine, he laughed on the spot: "Tieniu, you really know how to pick good things. A few kilograms of wine in Jiehe Market also cost tens of thousands of dollars! Dashitou didn't bring that much money, so I'd better invite it."

This Liao Kingdom is still poor! Tens of thousands of dollars (not corrupt) are actually considered big money.

"You don't need to ask for it," Yelu Dashi, although he was young, was like the leader of this group of people. Seeing that everyone was a little discouraged, he said encouragement words, "We all have to stay in Yuntai Academy!

Is it not only a Han Chinese school? If we have a complete academic exam, it would be fine if we can't get in. But those tricks have been said that the school is the route of merciful and military affairs.

Today we enter the city and go to Dagou's house to rest for a day. Tomorrow, Dagou and Tie Niu will go to Yuntai Academy together to explore. Find out how well they are in the exam, and then come back to prepare for their life."

"good!"

"Just by the big stone!"

These noble young men in the north responded loudly, and they were all arrogant, as if they had already entered the Yuntai Academy and became Su Dongpo's disciples.

"That young man in white is pretty good. I don't know what he said, but he actually asked dozens of people to answer him!"

Yelu Dashi probably wouldn't have thought that Wu Haogu, the head of Jiehe Market, was at the intersection with Ximen Qing, who was immediately open to Jiehe Market North at a crossroads. He looked at these young men who came to Jiehe to study from a distance. He was also attracted by the excellent performance of Yelu Dashi.
