"It's okay, although these people are here to monitor us, they are also responsible for our safety."
Haishan's pupils are clear, standing beside Torre, his handsome face is slightly tired from the long journey, but more excited.
"Tomorrow, I will have an audience with the Holy Majesty, and I will also go to the Daxia Academy to give lectures. When the time comes, you must pay attention to the things I teach you, and don't lose your sense of proportion."
He exhorted seriously.
"Okay, how many times have you said this, I'm stupid, but I'm not stupid!"
Torre scratched his head, with a little impatience in his tone.
"Well, since you understand, then I can rest assured..."
"Are the books in this box also treasures dedicated to the emperor?"
Torre looked at the boxes made of rattan. The reason why rattan was used instead of wooden boards was because wooden boxes tended to get wet when walking along the waterway, and rattan boxes were much dry.
"Of course not."
Haishan smiled twice: "There are countless books in the Daxia Palace since the founding of the country for thousands of years. Naturally, I won't read these things."
"Then these are?" Torre couldn't help asking.
It can be seen that my elder brother attaches great importance to these things and takes care of them himself.
"I wrote the book!"
He opened one of the rattan boxes, and solemnly took out a book from the box. Under the bright moonlight, Torre saw the words "Sea Mountain Digest" written on it.
"I was eager to learn since I was a child. At first, I just memorized it by rote and didn't seek to understand it. Later, as my tribe went south to plunder, others robbed gold, silver, jewelry, horses, cattle and sheep, but I brought back baskets of books from the Central Plains."
"Three years of hard study, I secretly went to the Central Plains to study. In the first two years, I listened to the lectures of those masters. In the second two years, I discussed with them. In the last two years, I met scholars in the Central Plains. No one is above me in knowledge."
"At that time, I was eighteen years old, and I already had the feeling of being alone and seeking defeat in terms of learning."
Haishan sighed, raised his head, his clear pupils reflected the moonlight, and looked at the tall palace at the end of his line of sight.
In his eyes, there is ambition and fighting spirit that Torrey has never seen before.
"After that, I thought hard for a whole year, summarizing and sublimating the knowledge I learned in my youth. Finally, I realized the most important shortcoming of these scholars in Daxia."
"What's the shortcoming?" Torre asked hurriedly, his eyes brightened.
"Practice what you have learned!"
Haishan paused and nodded heavily:
"Those scholars in Daxia pay attention to theory, but they don't pay attention to reality, and they talk too generally. In fact, this is not right. Applying what you have learned is the most important part of learning!"
"After understanding this point, I returned to the Northland and worked hard for nearly ten years.
Over the years, the achievements in the barbarians have been summed up one by one in the past ten years. Later, after the war ended, I reflected day and night, summed up the achievements made in the past ten years, and came up with this "Sea Mountain Digest""
"Although it is a digest, this book has a total of 308 volumes, which is vast. It contains astronomy and geography, farming and animal husbandry, mining and metallurgy, construction, art of war, literature and history, calculation and calculation...etc. To put it bluntly, it is enough to lead Daxia by an era!"
Torrey was silent.
Thousands of miles away, the moonlight was as bright as his hometown, and it fell on Haishan. He was not tall, but he was unusually tall and straight, like an unyielding fighter.
Only then did he realize that the war did not kill his elder brother.
If you can't defeat Great Xia by force, then you must defeat it intellectually, at the strongest place in this self-proclaimed civilized and orthodox country!
My elder brother chose another battlefield and participated in the battle alone, facing the city full of literati in the imperial capital of the enemy country.
…
Early the next morning.
Under the leadership of Jin Yiwei, Haishan came to the Jinluan Hall to meet the Emperor Heng.
Submit the letter of surrender and present the gift.
As for the follow-up compensation and the treatment of the barbarians, this cannot be concluded overnight. It takes a period of wrangling and arranging the interests of all parties in order to have a relatively satisfactory result.
Haishan has a deep understanding of the etiquette and traditions of the Central Plains.
The process was methodical and smooth.
However, what made him feel a little nervous was that in the main hall, there were always two or three master masters hiding in the dark, blocking themselves with qi machines.
And there are more secretive eyes peeking at places that I can't detect.
Is the emperor a little too vigilant, obviously he is just an ordinary person without cultivation. Or do you want to put pressure on yourself so that you can embarrass yourself in public and humiliate the barbarians
Haishan was full of thoughts.
Naturally, he didn't know how much psychological shadow Ke Qiao's incident had brought to Manchu Wenwu and even Jiang Heng.
Fortunately, those gazes weren't too hostile, they just made him feel a little nervous.
However, he was able to become the chief of the eighteen barbarian tribes at this age, and even after the defeat, he still had a high prestige among the tribes.
Haishan is definitely not as ordinary as his appearance shows.
The morning meeting went well.
At the end of the meeting, Haishan euphemistically expressed his desire to go to the Daxia Academy to give lectures.
"Hahaha!"
The atmosphere gradually became cheerful, and the ministers and princes of the DPRK and China burst into hearty laughter.
Where is Daxia Academy
Similar to the ancient Guozijian, it gathered the top batch of Confucian scholars and the best students in the whole country.
Even today's sage, the incomparably mysterious Princess Eldest Princess, by chance, also has a nominal lecturer position in the Great Xia Academy.
And what is the impression of the northern barbarians among the Central Plains people
barbaric, vulgar...
Such a barbarian actually said that he would go to the Daxia Academy, the holy land of Confucianism and Taoism, to give lectures and discuss Daoism... It is really a joke in the world.
However, Haishan has a special status, being the leader of the barbarian tribe.
This requirement itself is not out of the ordinary.
Jiang Heng waved his hand, "Since Aiqing is eager to study, I will agree to this matter!"
…
The fact that the great leader of the barbarian tribe was going to the Daxia Academy to study and discuss Taoism quickly spread in the capital.
In the restaurant, people were talking about it.
"A mere savage, actually thinking about writing a biography, this is really the best joke I've heard in the past ten years!"
"It's ridiculous. If it is said that the barbarian is physically strong, then I can barely agree with one or two, but if it is said that the barbarian can be a scholar, wouldn't it be... that a sow can climb a big tree!"
"Why do you look down on sows!"
Most of the people in the market are vulgar.
Expressing his inner disdain in unpretentious language, he has already bought melon seeds excitedly, and is waiting for tomorrow to see how this barbarian from the north will be embarrassed and doubt life.
However.
The next day, just after noon. An explosive news came from the Daxia Academy Palace.
Haishan, the leader of the barbarian tribe, sat down with Zhao Gou, the dean of the Daxia Academy, to discuss the Tao, and they won a big victory.
This person is full of knowledge, he applies what he has learned, and he doesn't fall into the stereotypes. I am not as good as him... These are the original words of the head of the Grand Master's academy. When these words came out, the entire imperial city set off a huge wave!
