Chapter 107 One hand can hit ten

Five days later, Qin Mu came to Jiangling County. Jiangling County was much more prosperous than the counties he saw on the road. Jiangling County was almost completely built on the river. This river was not Yongjiang, but Jinjiang, so Jiangling was also called Jinling.

The Jinjiang River was turbulent and the water was as wide as the sea. Originally, Jiangling County was built on an oasis in the vast river water. However, later, the ships came and went, and it became more prosperous and crowded. So the city was expanded and construction was built.

The current national teacher who served as the prefect of Jiangling County at that time was already a talented and powerful man. He showed extraordinary talent and gathered many skilled craftsmen and countless magical people to build deep stone stakes on the river. Each stone stake was a hundred feet long and short, totaling more than 3,800 stone stakes. The top of the stone stake was still thirty feet away from the water surface. It could allow a large ship to sail from below, or allow a flood to flow calmly.

The Yankang National Master and those skilled craftsmen and those who are supernaturally capable of paving the road with huge stones, using supernatural powers to stabilize and expand Jiangling City. This is a huge project. Tens of thousands of supernatural powers worked here for ten years before completing the new city.

There are some patios below the new city for lighting. Patios are used for drainage during heavy rains, and some docks are built under the city and communicated by nooses.

There are also large and small docks beside the city, and ships passing by are often parked here to unload and load goods.

It was really prosperous, so it was also called the Little Capital City. It was criticized by the literati at that time, saying that the prefect of Jiangling County was suspected of rebellion. The newly built Jiangling City cut off the empire's dragon veins and asked the emperor to kill him.

Some people also say that the Gangling Prefecture Prefecture built a leader on Jinjiang, and had a bad intention.

After completing this feat, Yankang National Master was summoned to the capital. Many people thought that the emperor was going to kill him, but they did not expect that the Prince Yanfeng at that time admired him very much. Prince Yanfeng was very talented and strategy. After ascending the throne, he repeatedly promoted Yankang National Master, and not long after he was promoted to the national master.

Qin Mu also heard from the shipwreck talk about these interesting things, but he didn't know whether it was true or false. However, the talent of Yankang's national teacher and the Yanfeng Emperor were highly regarded by these two people.

The people on the same boat with him were some scholars from Jiangling County, including poor people from poor families, and scholars from wealthy families. Qin Mu asked about it and found that most of these people were from elementary schools and universities in Jiangling County, and were all children of the same family.

Qin Mu was surprised and asked about the elementary school and university in Jiangling County, and then he knew the reason.

Primary school universities are set up by Yankang National Teachers and have been promoted nationwide.

The national teacher said to Emperor Yanfeng: "At the age of eight, from the princes and the children of common people will all enter primary school, and teach them to guide, etiquette, advance and retreat, rituals and music, shooting, calligraphy, practice, and foundation building. Observe their talents, teach according to their aptitude, awaken the spiritual fetus, break the wall, and select children to enter university."

The national teacher also said to Emperor Yanfeng: "In his fifteen years, from the emperor's son, all sons, and the sons of the emperor, the ministers, officials, and the handsome men of the people, they all entered the university, and taught them the supernatural powers, sword skills, correct their minds, cultivate themselves, and govern others. The ancient and modern supernatural powers and academics were all students of the emperor and did not need to rely on the sect. Over time, the troubles of the sect can be eliminated."1

The national teacher also said: "After graduating from university, you can enter the Taixue School. The Taixue scholar will teach you the way of being an official and a general. If you study the Tao and govern the world, you will be peaceful and the emperor can rest assured."

Qin Mu was deeply moved. How could the country not prosper when Master Yankang studied like this?

The living space of Yankang Kingdom was squeezed by primary schools and universities, and there was no room for survival, so no wonder it rebelled.

On the boat, Qin Mu took out the "Suanjing" he bought in Jiangling City from his bag, studied it carefully, and wrote down the Yuan-solving fraction on paper with a charcoal pen.

Suddenly, a broad-minded scholar asked, "Did Brother Qin also go to the capital to take the exam?"

Qin Mu nodded and smiled, "Yes. I plan to go to the capital to have a future. Brother Wei is also going to take the exam?"

The broad-minded scholar named Wei Yong nodded and smiled: "It is my long-cherished wish to pass the exam and enter Tai Academy to read a lot of books!"

Another scholar smiled and said, "Brother Wei, Imperial Tai Academy is not so easy to enter. You are only fourteen years old and are still a junior school student, so you can't enter Tai Academy!"

Wei Yong sneered: "Is the great master a great man? He may not be able to beat Brother Qin and me!"

Many scholars laughed.

Qin Mu also smiled. Most of the scholars on the same boat with them went to the capital to take the exam and wanted to enter the Imperial Academy.

Jiangling University teaches basic swordsmanship and magic, and it is not widely available. The Beijing Tai Academy has millions of books, including all kinds of things. Almost all the martial arts and magical powers of all sects in Yankang Kingdom gather here. It can be said to be the highest institution of learning in the empire!

It is very difficult to enter Tai Academy. In order to enter it, university scholars from all over the country have broken their heads. As for elementary school scholars, they plan to enter Beijing, and often want to enter the universities there. It is even more difficult for elementary school scholars to enter Tai Academy. Unless they are particularly outstanding, they can be recruited in an extraordinary way. There are very few elementary school scholars who can pass the assessment every year.

The ship takes the helm and lets the ship sail to the opposite shore.

Qin Mu noticed that the ship used a strange alchemy furnace. There was flame in the alchemy furnace. As long as the medicine stone was thrown into it, the spiritual power in the medicine stone could be used to push the gear above the alchemy furnace to rotate. The gears carried a huge ship to overturn the water, like a water truck, pushing the big ship forward.

The shipman only needs to be in charge of the rudder and control the direction.

Qin Mu was amazed. Where could he see such a strange thing in the big ruins?

Not long after, the big ship sailed to the shore, and he and many scholars disembarked, and as the people did not go far, they came to the carriage and horse market.

Qin Mu looked around and became even more curious. He saw that some land boats, speeding cars, cranes, earth dragons, and several building boats that were ready to go were emitting smoke, and the smoke was mixed with fire.

"Brother Qin, here!"

Wei Yong stood under a building boat and waved to him. The boat got off the ladder and some scholars were walking onto the boat.

Qin Mu walked over and looked up at the tower ship, showing a look of surprise. Wei Yong was a familiar person and smiled and said, "The land boating is bumpy, the speed is too expensive, and the cranes and the earth and dragons are so hot that they are exposed to the sun. It is still comfortable to sit on the tower ship, but the speed is a little slower. However, it is still early to select Tai Academy, so let's take a boat to the capital."

Qin Mu said yes, saying, "What's the price?"

Wei Yong took out a pot of wine and smiled and said, "You are wearing better than me, and you still care about the price? Fox girl, I bought you a pot of wine."

Hu Ling'er was surprised and happy. She stood up and thanked him seriously, then took the wine pot.

Qin Mu came to the boss of the ship and paid the ship. The ship's ship from Jiangling to Beijing requires ten big coin coins, which is not expensive. After all, Qin Mu has been used to being big in the past five days. He has no idea about the value of the big coin. He only knows that he will give him a big coin to the other party when eating and staying, and he is so happy about the convenience.

The two of them boarded the ship with one fox. Not long after, the boat was full of passengers. The pharmacist and the boy started the boat's alchemy furnace. The medicine was turned into mana and supplied to the bronze beast sculpture at the stern. The bronze beast's mouth immediately spewed out a strong fire. The boat slowly flew into the air, slowly turned its direction in the air, spread its sails and sailed away from Jiangling, and headed north.

On the trekking boat, the passengers each have their own rooms, and the boat also provides food and drink. You can just spend it on the boat in the next few days.

Qin Mu stood on the boat and looked down. He saw that the tower ship was rising higher and higher, and the speed gradually increased. Jiangling City below had become smaller and smaller. However, you can still see strange things such as speeding cars, birds and spacecraft flying out from time to time in the city, and the boats came and went on the river, which was very lively.

"Yankang is a magical place."

Qin Mu exclaimed in his heart: "Ling Yuxiu said that Yankang's magical powers are changing with each passing day, and now it seems that this is true."

He could see that Yankang Kingdom was applying Taoism and supernatural powers to every corner of life, and the food, clothing, housing and transportation of ordinary people were slowly being changed, which was very similar to the way of the saints mentioned in the Great Ethics Demon Sutra.

The way of the saint is only used by the people every day. Yankang State did a very good job.

He suddenly had a strange thought in his heart: "Is National Master Yankang also from my Demon Sect?"

Some scholars on the ship were practicing martial arts, and their cultivation was excellent. But what surprised Qin Mu was that they often practiced the same martial arts, magic and swordsmanship.

Qin Mu was puzzled: "Will it be easy to be caught by someone by practicing the same magical and sword technique?"

In his opinion, although warriors lay the foundation, erudition is also the foundation. Most scholars practice the same martial arts, the same magic, and the same swordsmanship. In this way, they can easily be caught by others.

"I can beat ten such warriors with one hand." Qin Mu shook his head secretly and continued to study the "Absolute Sutra". There are ten volumes of the "Absolute Sutra" printed by Yankang Kingdom. He has finished reading it, and he has also sorted out a lot of the Yuan-solving formulas on the paper.

At night, Qin Mu came to the deck from the room, looked up at the astrological signs in the sky, then used the meta-solving formula to deduce it, and then recorded the calculation on paper.

The boat was floating for four days and gradually approached the capital. Most of the scholars on the boat went to the capital for the first time. They couldn't hide their excitement and they lay on the side of the boat gang and looked out. Suddenly, a violent shock came, and the boat tilted in the air. Several scholars fell from the boat without grasping it.

These people did not practice the magical power of flying, and let out long screams, and the screams continued for a long time. The tower ship flew too high, and it would take them a while before they fell to the ground.

Qin Mu frowned, his legs nailed to the boat like two guns, carrying the drunk fox Ling'er in one hand and grabbing Wei Yong, who was also drunk with the other hand, so as not to be thrown off the boat.

At this moment, a loud laughter came from outside the ship. An unimaginable giant python opened its big mouth covered with barbs, biting the stern of the ship, and tearing it hard!

Everyone on the boat was shocked. The stern of the boat had been bitten by the giant python. The scholars standing near the stern fell from the boat one after another, and several scholars were swallowed by the giant python!

There was still a man standing on the flat head of the giant python, wearing a flower robe, with rouge and powder. He was very charming, but he was a charming man, looking excitedly at the panicked people on the boat.

Note 1: These passages quoted Zhu Xi of the Song Dynasty, and the hut was slightly adapted. The name of elementary school and university was found in ancient times. The name was determined in the first century BC. The Western Han Dynasty. The "Book of Da Dai Li" recorded that "In ancient times, when he was eight years old, he went out to the house and learned small arts and walked in small details." "Book of hair and went to the university, learned big arts and walked in large details." "Book of Little Dai Li·The King's System": "Elementary school is on the left of Gonggong South, and the university is in the suburbs." "Baihu Tong": "Enterprise school at the age of eight, he entered the university at the fifteenth."
