Chapter 946: Jiangnan Water Town, the Dispute between North and South

If you're not sure, then let someone look into it.

Anyway, their itinerary has not yet arrived in Jiangnan, so naturally there is enough time to confirm.

The matter was not brought up again.

However, the words of the two naturally let Shu Bei hear it.

Shu Bei's eyes couldn't help but show a hint of yearning for Annan.

This is the common sentiment of teenagers, because now Annan has become a place of meritorious service.

Shubei became more and more determined in his battlefield route.

Naturally, he paid attention to Annan, especially Xue Rengui, who was his role model.

Then it goes without saying!

Many of the younger generation have become famous in Annam.

Similarly, Shubei hopes that one day he will be able to do so.

Jiangnan Water Town

When I came to this land, I felt relatively deserted.

There is no way to do this, Shu An remembers that the development of the south will not be completed until at least the Song Dynasty.

That's when the South was able to become an economic center.

But now the south is still in a weak position, and you will not see the Ming Dynasty in later generations.

Because all the southerners were admitted to the imperial examination, and no northerners were on the list, the result was caused.

The south is still not stronger than the north, after all, the concept of hegemony in the Central Plains has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

Before that, no South had ever been able to counterattack the North.

So it feels a lot empty, but the interesting thing is that Shu'an, who has just arrived in the Jiangnan area, heard an interesting news.

"The northern scholars collectively fight the southern scholars."

"It is said that these northern scholars are here to pursue An Xuangong."

"But being ridiculed by the southern scholars, it was a fight."

....

A voice of discussion made Shu An a little helpless.

This is considered to be self-caused, but in the end, the results are all scholars from the north and the south.

But it's normal to think about it, after all, it's not that the contradiction between the north and the south has always been there.

This is a problem of regional differences, and their own families and people are not pleasing to each other.

In the end, the scholars didn't like each other!

And the south didn't know that it was because of the beautiful mountains and rivers, so it began to gradually gain the upper hand in the imperial examination.

At the beginning of the imperial examination, the north had some advantages.

But it was quickly reversed by the South, which undoubtedly led to more contradictions.

Even if Shu An faces such a contradiction, then he also has no opinion.

Coupled with this period of time, Shu'an has been silent for a while.

Naturally, then, the dispute between the north and the south between the scholars and the north began again and became the focus of attention.

"Looks like we're going to be able to get around the South."

Shu An showed a smile and said aloud.

"Let's hope they don't go too far with the competition."

"In the autumn of previous years, there were a lot of fights between the north and the south."

Li Xiuning's face also showed a lot of smiles, and he said out loud.

Obviously, I know a lot about the excitement of Chang'an before.

"Young people, there must always be some flesh."

"As long as you don't go overboard, then it's okay."

Shu An's voice continued to sound, and there was not much opposition to this matter.

After all, there is competition to have pressure, if there is no competition, how can there be the motivation for progress.

Undoubtedly, this period of time is the easiest period for Shu An and others to travel.

Because of the competition between the north and the south, the trouble is getting bigger and bigger.

Originally, some northern scholars were not ready to go to the south, but they all rushed to the north.

On the basis of the base, there must be more scholars in the north than in the south.

After all, the Central Plains is the place where the most families gather, and there are many Confucian inheritances of Confucius.

The inheritance is relatively complete!

It is reasonable that there are more natural scholars.

has traveled to many famous cities, and Shu An took Li Xiuning to a village in the countryside.

"This is a place where you once lived in seclusion."

Shu An said slowly, this season is already autumn.

But the south is still emerald green, and it can be said that this is a unique scenery in the south.

"This place is really nice!"

"It's even on par with the farms in Chang'an, don't you want to go back to Chang'an in the first place."

Li Xiuning observed the surrounding environment and couldn't help but say quietly.

"It's not, it's a coincidence that I live here."

"I still have a house in the village, I don't know if it's still there."

Shu An said with a chuckle on his face, the environment is only one reason.

Li Xiuning's eyes couldn't help but show a hint of curiosity, but he didn't ask immediately.

Because if Shu An wants to say it, then he will definitely say it.

And maybe the answer lies in this one village.

However, as Shu An walked into the village, some of the villagers seemed to recognize Shu An.

"Are you Uncle Shu?!"

"Yes, it's the old man, just come back and have a look."

"Uncle Shu, I didn't expect that after so many years, you still haven't changed much."

.....

Shu An's appearance has not changed much from when he entered and exited Chang'an.

Naturally, there is no difference between it and when I first left here.

Originally, some young and middle-aged people naturally recognized Shu An.

At the beginning, Shu Anke funded a lot of things for the villagers.

For these villagers, this Uncle Shu is a good person.

Naturally, I was impressed!

Shu An had been waiting for a lot of copper coins before.

One person gave some to the people of the village, though not much.

I can probably buy two or three taels of meat, but it still makes the people of the village happy.

Because the south is still relatively small under the care of An Xuangong, it is not as exaggerated as the north.

Therefore, Shu An will not be recognized in the village.

After all, this village is a bit remote.

Soon Shu An had already come to the place where he lived.

"Master, you're finally back!"

An old man said with an excited face, as if he couldn't believe it.

This old man's name is Ma Lou, and he was a middle-aged man twenty years ago.

Because of an accident and was rescued by Shu An, Shu An came here.

Ma Lou was injured because he fell off a cliff, and there was no Lang Zhong in the village.

Fortunately, Ma Lou was lucky and met Shu An and others, but this also caused Shu An to live for a while.

Later, when I came back from Bashu, I just thought of settling in Jiangnan.

That's why I'm back here!

In order to repay Shu An for saving his life, Ma Lou, an honest and honest person, began to help Shu An run errands.

Until Shu An returned to Chang'an!

Shu An gave Ma Lou a sum of money to support his hometown for the elderly.

After all, Shu An is not a ruthless person, but he is very generous to those close to him.

Even if Ma Lou was to repay the favor before, Shu Anke never thought about repaying the favor or anything like that.

"Ma Lou, it's been a long time, and you're fine."

Shu An's face was very happy and said loudly, he was naturally happy to see that the old man in the past was still alive.

At the beginning, Ma Lou was almost forty-five, and twenty years later it was sixty-five.

This age is not up or down, and it may not be alive, in this era.
