Chapter 46: Rescue Zhao

To the west of Handan City is a school society near the tributary of the Fushui River. Because it is located in Handan, people are used to calling it the Handan Academy. Because the person who presided over the school was the Taifu Academy, some people also called this school society the Taifu Academy.

Unlike other schools, there is no need to be a training for admission to the school. No matter who it is, you can enter the school as long as you bring a boy. As long as you are a suitable age, you will have no physical and head disease. Among the 80,000 households in Handan and 400,000 students of school age account for about 10%. Even if girls are subtracted and those noble children who are unwilling to be with the children of the common people are deducted, there are nearly 20,000 children.

A 20,000-person school has never existed in ancient times, but now this school is built in the western suburbs of Handan. Before Chunping Hou entered the club, he heard the sound of the boys' calligraphy. When he joined the club, he found that what the students recited was... it turned out to be:

"In ancient times, benevolence was the basis and governing it with righteousness was called righteousness. If righteousness did not obtain the intention, power would come from war, not from the middle-aged people. Therefore, killing people to calm people, killing them; attacking their country, loving their people, attacking them; stopping wars, even if fighting is possible. Therefore, benevolence sees relatives, righteousness sees wisdom, reliance, courage sees the body, trust sees faith..."

(In ancient times, people took benevolence as the foundation and handled national affairs in a manner that was etiquette. This was the formal way. When the formal way could not achieve its goal, they should use the method of contingency. Contingency was due to the needs of war, not loyalty and benevolence. Therefore, it is possible to kill a person and make the masses peaceful; it is possible to attack a country and protect its people from protecting its people; it is possible to stop war with war, even if war is launched.

Therefore, being kind and loving will make people close; upholding justice will make people convinced; using wisdom will make people rely on; practicing bravery will make people follow the example; adhering to honesty will make people trust. In this way, you can get the love of the people internally and defend the country; you can have deterrent power externally and defeat the enemy...)

As Zhao Liang listened, he suddenly trembled, and this trembling could not be suppressed. And he could not tell whether this trembling was out of excitement or fear.

"Muleng has seen the Xiangbang." Wu Guanzi did not greet him in person, but Mu Ling came out to welcome him. He was a little surprised why Chunping Hou didn't get off the car.

"Yeah." Zhao Liangning in the carriage choked for a moment before getting off the carriage and greeted Mu Ling. "When I came, I was rushed and did not bring the greeting ceremony. Please use the jade pendant as the fee for the carriage and horse."

Zhao Liang took off a string of accessories hanging on his belt. With Zhou rituals, he had to give gifts when visiting him. Zhao Liang gave the accessories Mu Ling without refusal. He smiled and said, "Thank you Xiangbang. The school has been established and has been entirely dependent on Xiangbang's help."

Such a large school does not teach the Five Classics, and it is also "vicious" competition with the school in Handan City, so it is naturally envious. After Zhao Yan's death, the book club was immediately attacked by some people. Zhao Liang specially sent someone to send a hundred gold coins to the queen of the prime minister, and the people who attacked the book club were scattered in birds and beasts.

"No, no." Zhao Liang returned to normal, and he laughed and thought about what he had just heard: "So, killing people can help others, killing them; attacking their country, loving their people, attacking them; stopping war with war, even if they can fight."

The Zhao State had this bookstore, which was a blessing for Zhao State. He taught boys with military tactics, and when students grew up, he became the pillar of Zhao."

Zhao Liang didn't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, but pointed out the art of war. Mu Ling smiled dryly, and he bowed: "The system of the book club comes from Chu, otherwise, it would be impossible to achieve..."

Mu Ling explained that at this time, Zhao Liang had already walked forward, so he had to follow. The hut was Xinxin. Through the windows, Zhao Liang could see the students sitting in the school room and the gentleman in front of the blackboard. The students who recited the text were attentive, while the students who practiced calligraphy looked over curiously. In the distance of the school room, some people were actually practicing archery skills. He forgot that this trip was coming to see the archery skills, but walked towards the students who practiced archery skills.

"All the school and society are in the Chu system?" Zhao Liang asked while walking, with a kind look.

"That's right." Mu Ling replied. "It's the meaning of a nun to enter the school with military tactics. The nun said: Men should know about military tactics. Sima's law is not the law of Sun Tzu. His heart is kind, his words are cautious, and his intention is correct. Although the military tactics are ancient, they should be known."

"Great kindness!" Zhao Liang could not forget the trembling of the students when he recited the "Sima Fa". He then sighed: "I heard that all counties in Chu State have school clubs. Boys aged eight to eleven can enter school, regardless of gender, regardless of gender, no matter how they are, right?"

"However... it is not the case." Mu Ling replied. "The Duke of Chu has a large family, and all counties and towns have schools and clubs. The school and clubs are not the same, and the number of students is uncertain. For example, Chen County has more than 30,000 students, more than 1,000 school rooms and two thousand teachers, which is called many. For example, Xi County has only 3,000 students, only 100 school rooms and more than 200 teachers, which is called fewer."

The Chu State was in chaos, and after the Ao system was implemented, the situation of the school and society in various counties was a reflection of the chaos. But even so, Zhao Liang could not help but shake his head. The King of Chu allowed children across the country to enroll for free. When these students who knew military tactics and craftsmanship grew up, the world might be the world of the Chu people.

Thinking of this, Zhao Liang no longer had the interest in watching the students shoot archery, but turned around and walked towards the residence of Feng Guanzi. At this time, a student holding a bow shouted "Weng!" from afar, and then jumped over. This was a short-lived child who was following Zhao Liang. When his son shouted, he was at a loss and looked at Zhao Liang with some concern.

"Nothing happened." Zhao Liang smiled slightly, "It's good that your father and son are together."

"Haha..." The master was so generous, and all the followers laughed. The short-soldier touched the back of his head with a simple and honest look, and was quickly pulled away by his son.

"I have something unknown." Zhao Liang asked. "There are so many academic societies, after you have completed your career..."

"Don't worry about the generals." Mu Ling smiled. "There are four lessons taught by the school society, one is Zhao's speech, the second is nature, the third is practice, and the fourth is martial arts. It is not to make people a general, a prime minister, an official, or an official, but only teach people and careers."

"For career?" Zhao Liang was puzzled, and he was also puzzled by those courses.

"The lessons of nature teach planning and explaining the changes of all things in the world; the lessons of practice teach skills, farming, and etiquette. Students can be successful, merchants can be merchants, and farmers can be farmers." Mu Leng replied.

"In this way, why do you learn?" It turned out that after studying, merchants were still merchants, and hundreds of workers were still farmers, and farmers were still farmers. Zhao Liang originally thought that these people would be pillars of the country after they became careers, but he did not expect that after they became careers, they would still be common people.

"What do Xiangbang thinks is learning?" Mu Ling asked back.

"To learn, I need to..." Of course, studying is to make a name for itself. At that time, Confucius' disciples were 3,000, many of them were ministers and officials. Zhao Liang wanted to say it but thought it was wrong. There were many scholars in the world, and like Chu State, there were hundreds of thousands of students and tens of thousands of people who had achieved careers a year. Wouldn't the world be in chaos?

"I think that those who study can be masters, but they can be defeated by the officials, but they must not be good at studying and become officials." Mu Ling smiled. "Therefore, the primary school in Chu does not require a limited education, and the tuition fees for middle school are extremely high. No noble people can recommend them to others, and the same is true for universities."

"It's actually like this." Zhao Liang instantly understood the purpose of this education system: after the career is completed, the common people will still be common people, and noble people will still be noble people. Since that is the case, why did the King of Chu spend money to enter the common people's children? What's the point of doing this?

"I wonder what you are coming?" Feng Guanzi's hair was gray. After a few years, he not only did not become old, but also looked strong.

"He came for the survival of Zhao." Zhao Liang was straightforward. "The Qin people attacked Zhao, and Zhao was alive and died in a daze. Liang thought that if the King of Chu was not saved, Zhao would be destroyed; if Zhao was destroyed, Chu might be destroyed."

"Your Majesty must have known this." Yu Guanzi naturally understood the purpose of Zhao Liang. The Zhao army was defeated in Pingyang, and the general Hu Zhe died in battle. Suddenly, the whole city of Handan was panicked, and some capable merchants and nobles ran north.

"This is Liang's crime." Zhao Liang knew the crux of the matter, so he paused and said, "However, Zhao State is in danger, please confess your love."

"The King of Chu is not a kind person." After all, Feng Guanzi was a Zhao man. When he saw Zhao Liang silenced his head, he couldn't help but look cold again, so he naturally talked about Xiong Jing. "The King of Qi broke his promise and even abolished the marriage. Zhao State has several times..."

"Liang's crime! Liang's crime!" Zhao Liang paused his head again. "Liang should not be confused by small profits, but should send troops to attack Qin to restore Yecheng. However, today the Qin people wanted to destroy Zhao, and Zhao Chu relied on each other, his lips were lost and his teeth were cold, so he begged the King of Chu to send troops to rescue Zhao."

"This is a difficult problem." Wu Guanzi sighed. "After a great battle in Chu, many soldiers died, and the warehouse was empty, how can we save Zhao?"

Guanzi talked about a very realistic problem. He heard very early that the last year of Chu State was supported by Qi State. Although Xiang Yan robbed Ao Cang of Qin, how much grain could Ao Cang have? The real warehouse of Qin State was in Xianyang, Yongcheng City. The warehouses there were as dense as forests, and the corn stored was hundreds of millions of stones.

"Just ask the King of Chu to come out to the boat." Zhao Liang also knew the truth about Chu, so he retreated to the second best. "If Chu comes out to the boat, it can stop the Qin people from transporting grain from the river, and the danger of Handan will be resolved."

"The Qin people did not transport food with boats, but with four-wheeled chariots." said Zhu Guanzi. "What is the use of the Chu army's boat troops in the river?"

"Can you also land on the shore to attack the Qin army's rations?" Zhao Liang of course knew that the Qin army's four-wheeled cart. This kind of cart can be loaded with seven or eighty stones, three times that of the double-shaft cart.

"I heard that the Qin army transported grain from Hedong Road and went north from Baixing." The news about Yu Guanzi was not very well-versed, but he was aware of the roads in the world. The Qin army transported grain from the south either Hedong Road or Henan Road (i.e. the Yellow River Water Transport). The Chu State Zhoushi was in Daliang. How could he transport grain from Henan Road? The most likely one was Hedong Road and then went north from Baixing to Taihang.

"Sir, how did you know that the Qin army transported grain from Hedong Road?" Zhao Liang was surprised.

"The Qin army's food supply route is out of Baixing, and the common city is in Chaoge. There must be heavy troops guarding the Chu army. There are only tens of thousands of boat troops. How can we harass it?" said Yu Guanzi, and his eyes finally looked at Zhao Liang: "Your Majesty asks the King of Chu to send troops, and want the King of Qin to vent his anger on Chu and attack Chu to save Zhao?"
