Fortunately, the army was only stationed outside the city and did not enter the city at all. Moreover, it brought its own food and fodder, so there was no need for Suzhou to supply it.

This made Cheng Shou really feel that the Song Dynasty and Xixia were two different skyscrapers.

In the end, he was uneasy and sent three hundred sheep. Then the Duke of Shu threw him six golden coins, saying that this was called imported money, and he would use this in foreign trade in the future. One gold coins would be used to pay for the mainland's ten-spoke treasure banknotes or ten pieces of silk.

The city guard quickly thanked him, and then realized that this was... This is true. The Duke of Yangshu, who was working hard, would have to pay for it?

Su You told him not to care about these things, and then he was relieved to find that the level of Chinese studies in Suzhou City Shou was quite high.

After inquiring again, it turned out that during the chaos in the late Western Jin Dynasty, most of the Confucian families crossed the river and established the Eastern Jin Dynasty south of the Yangtze River, but many still came to Hexi.

There was a song at that time - "Qinzhongchuan, blood was gone, only Liangzhou was lying on the pillars."

The great scholars who came here were Zhang Gui, Guo He, Guo Yu, Song Xian, Qi Jia, Ma Ji, Duan Chenggen, Yin Zhongda, Zong Qin, Zhao Rou, and Liu Bing... Finally, they established a school of Confucianism - the Hexi School and Wuliang Literature.

Li Qing, who had been determined to assist Bingchang since childhood, grew up, was actually a descendant of Li Guang, who once dominated the country and called himself the "King of Xiliang"!

Ganzhou, Suzhou and Jiuyuan are also the three main cultivation sites for Confucian officials in the Western Xia.

The current Suzhou City Guard is Qi Huan, the descendant of the Qi family in Jiuquan.

Too fantasy...

According to Qi Huan, at that time, there were thousands of students under the great scholars of Hexi. Hexi was not as Su You imagined, but belonged to a cultural desert.

Even though the Northern Wei Dynasty moved away most of the people, the Confucians in Hexi kept their sects here.

Li Yuanhao's behavior aroused them very much, so none of Hexi Confucians did to serve as officials.

The Han system was promoted but still not recognized by them.

Fortunately, I didn't make a breakthrough, and when Liang Zuo died, everything changed back.

After Bingchang took power, only Li Qing was willing to serve in the office, but even the Li family in Liangzhou did not agree with his behavior.

Because of the rebellious actions of the Xia royal family, especially the haircut order, had already ruined their few characters.

Su You felt that he had not been abandoned by God at this moment. He really didn't know that Hexi still had such a Confucian vein.

To fool the monks and Taoist priests, Su You still lacks some skills. He often has to follow the paths of Daxiangguo Temple and Tianshi Mansion to achieve his goal, but to fool the Confucians into their journey, hahahahahaha...

There is also a school in Suzhou, but it is very dilapidated. Qi Huan and Su You found a room, and the two began to sit down and talk in detail.

Confucianism in Hexi has been isolated from the Central Plains for nearly a hundred years, and I don’t know how far the Confucianism has developed.

It doesn’t matter, Su You’s own lineage of Confucianism holds a high banner of retro.

Verifying the past is a huge topic of the Confucian school. Nowadays, Confucianism and Guanxue, and the three schools of science and engineering are constantly exploring and exploring.

The discussion between the two gradually became Qi Huan's advice and Su You answered.

The Confucian problem is mainly social problems, and social problems are all complex problems. Even if it is the first Confucian word, we must explain the origin and the whole story clearly. If we extend it, we will involve all aspects.

Su You still chose the logic of In Ming that Qi Huan should be relatively familiar to explain. It is complicated for the Confucian school of reason and Confucianism.

It also involves subjects such as mathematics, literature, astronomy, geography, history, etc. Some things are obviously beyond the scope for Qi Huan.

So Suyou has to give a more detailed explanation.

Before he knew it, the oil lamp had been lit in the room. Qi Huan felt that what he was facing was not the Duke or the Conqueror of Xia Kingdom. This was a saint!

At least Qi Huan felt that the person in front of him was the one who cleared away the fog created by various Confucian schools in history and was closest to the original meaning of the previous Confucianism!

The truth of nature and human nature! For Qi Huan, who has been immersed in classics for a lifetime, it is simply a deafening sound of jade and gold.

It was not until Juan'er rolled her eyes and asked the young master to have food that Qi Huan realized that it was dark.

He said ashamedly: "I didn't expect that Confucianism in the Central Plains is already so subtle. The students dare to ask the teacher to stay for several days, and wait for the students to call their fellow Hexi to listen to the teachings together."

Su You smiled and said, "Shame, I don't know that there are still Confucian scholars in Hexi. I'm so happy today."

"Next, Hexi will promote culture and education. I hope that Brother Shi can do his part and promote the glory that the ancestors of Hexi have created."

"I hope to collect the works of the ancestors of each family as much as possible and bring them to Xingqing. We will organize them together into a monograph and present them to His Majesty for the imperial examination."

"A school of Neo-Confucianism emphasizes adapting to local conditions and reasonably. The situation in Hexi is somewhat different from that of the Central Plains. Therefore, there must be many thoughts on the governance of Hexi in the works of the ancient Confucian scholars, which are worth learning from."

"Just just talked to Brother Shi. Hexi's ancient style is quite similar to our Shu studies and Guan studies. Just like the fish I saw yesterday, the Kongs saw different things, and the same sounds made together, complementing each other..."

Qi Huan waved his hands repeatedly: "Pearls and jade are in front of you, how dare you get a false reputation? The gentleman is so embarrassed that his students are."

Su You smiled and said, "There is another thing. Now that the senior management of Xia State has cleaned up all the people. I lack knowledgeable political talents in my hands. I will ask Your Majesty for someone. Your Majesty asked me to wait a few years first and let the generals act as the governor first."

"There will be problems like this. The separation of military and political affairs is my goal. Therefore, I don't want to go back to the old path. If all the wise men are willing to make some contributions to the people on this land, we can try it."

Qi Huan was secretly happy. Hexi Confucians are finally about to enter the political arena. They are not very interested in the barbarian regime, but it does not mean that they are not interested in the orthodox Chinese in the Central Plains.

He stood up and gave a big gift: "So I will gather my fellow workers and bring my ancestors' manuscripts to Xingzhou to listen to the teachings."

Su You also stood up: "I really didn't expect that Hexi has been fishy for hundreds of years, and my way is still not alone! Let's go, the sky is big, the earth is the biggest, the food is the most important, and filling the stomach is the most important!"

During the meal, Su You explained to Qi Huan several major Confucian schools in the Song Dynasty, as well as the inheritance, changes and differences between various schools.

Experts can tell if there is any one at once. After listening for an afternoon, Qi Huan already knew that the young man in front of him was definitely a great scholar-level figure.

And not only Confucianism, but also astronomy, geography, music, art, poetry, literature... are almost all-round.

Even industrial, commercial, water conservancy, farming and animal husbandry are experts, dare you believe it?!

After leaving Li Shuan to ask Qi Huan to cooperate with the survey and exploration, Su You went to the sandbank with dark circles.

After passing Suzhou, the scenery changed. The Qilian Mountains were getting farther and farther away from the main road, and the desert and the next door were getting closer and closer to the main road.

Fortunately, I walked along the small oasis and river on the edge of the Gobi Desert for two hundred miles and encountered a larger river.

Shule River was called Mingshui in ancient times.

This river flows to Dunhuang together with its main tributary Danghe, which is now Ganquan Water, and once formed a huge lake in the north of Dunhuang.

However, the lake has now shrunk into Crescent Lake, and the disappearance of the water directly led to the decline of the ancient city of Dunhuang.

However, Shazhou near Dunhuang is still prosperous due to trade relations. It is still 600 miles away from Suzhou, and there is also a city in the middle, Guazhou.

Guazhou is famous for its products. It is close to the Gobi Desert and has the water source of the Shule River. What is different in the Central Plains is that it produces various melons, pears, peaches, apricots, grapes, and dates, and millet and wheat are commonly planted.

Because of the existence of saline-alkali land, the livestock here is also very strong, and cattle and sheep have excellent local varieties, and there are also many camels.

Guazhou is the most prosperous city on the Silk Road after Gansu, Su, Liang and Lanzhou. Now there are mainly Han people and Dangxiang people, and there are more Han people than Dangxiang people.

This is because this is a city where the Han and Tang Dynasties immigrants stationed troops, and agricultural technology has always occupied the mainstream, which is suitable for the survival and reproduction of the Han people.

In fact, today's common people, in addition to Bianjing, Shuzhong, Liangzhe, the cultural popularity of the two Zhejiang people is also very popular, and they are also the origin of civilizations in the Central China, which is not so sensitive to the concept of the country.

Especially in the Hexi area, regime changes are too frequent, so the people are good at adapting to the "conquered" life.

The minerals here contain gold, silver, copper, iron, lead, zinc, etc. There is no coal, but it is the main gold production area in Hexi.
