Dozens of light horsemen in messy clothes flew across the ground covered with white snowflakes, and went straight to the north gate of the north gate of the north city of Jiehe Shang City. Most of these light riders in messy clothes are teenagers, and everyone looks elated and energetic, half of them are dressed by Han family children, and half are wearing Khitan-style robes, but everyone is wearing a Khitan snow hat on their heads.

The horsemanship of these teenagers was excellent, and all of them had uncastrated stallions under their crotches, and they ran like they were flying with their hooves spread, and they were jolting up and down violently. But the boys on horseback were as steady as they were on flat ground. A few of them also played equestrian skills, straightened up on horseback, looked ahead, and saw the red brick wall of the north city of Jiehe Shang City, as well as the colorful flags fluttering in the wind on the head of the city, and shouted excitedly.

"It's really a red wall! Is this rammed with laterite? Is the dirt on this side of the river red? ”

"Tie Niu, don't be ashamed of your dirt buns, Jiehe Commercial City is not a soil city, people are brick cities! It is made of thousands of red bricks! ”

"Grandma, a bear, big stone, you bully Tie Niu, I'm honest! The walls of this river are not high, but they are very wide, and how many bricks will be made of masonry? I'm afraid it's not enough to use up all the bricks in Shangjing, right? ”

"Hahaha, Tie Niu, you know how to go to the capital, right? There are many big cities in this world, and our Daliao capital is prosperous and rich, and it really can't be ranked! ”

"Big dog, our Shangjing can't be ranked, but Yanjing, where you live, can be ranked? Isn't Yanjing City also an earthen wall? ”

"Of course Yanjing can't do it, if you want to say that there are more big cities in the world, there are still more southerners. But none of those big cities can compare to the Boundary River. ”

"Is it because there is a red wall in the Boundary River?"

"The red wall is one, and that's repaired with red bricks! Not only does Jiehe Hebei City have red bricks, but the walls of Jiehe Henan City, which are many times larger than Beicheng, are all red bricks! And the houses in Jiehe City are also brick walls! They are as strong as mountains! Compared with the head of my family, Junzhou, the heavens and the earth have gone down, and I am afraid that the bricks of the whole Daliao are not as much used as a city!

This is not the most unusual, the most uncommon thing is that it has only been two years since the construction of Jiehe Commercial Market started. It's only been two years! And the high city was raised from the ground, and the money for the construction of the city was taken out by the merchants! ”

"What? It's all the money from the merchants? How can the merchants of the Southern Dynasty be so rich? It's really envious......"

These young men who were sitting on horseback, talking and laughing, drove their horses to the jurisdiction of the northern city of Jiehe Shang City in a blink of an eye, and the horses' hooves stepped on the road paved with stones, and a gust of wind swept through the yards on both sides of the official road where I don't know how much timber was piled up. The police patrols of several Jiehe merchant markets on duty next to these wooden piles didn't even bother to look at these northland teenagers galloping on horseback.

Needless to say, these are the children of the nobles of the Liao Kingdom who were fooled by the Raushzi Yuntai School Palace Jiehe Branch.

The nobles of the Liao State really can't be compared with the former alliance of the Liao Yuan now, and if they don't see them fighting and killing, it depends on them eating fasting and chanting Buddha and repairing temples. Most of the nobles of the Liao Kingdom who ran to Jiehe Shang City to take refuge are also like this, and it is rare to see them go hunting outside the city, only to see them either soaking in the Wanda tiles and Evergrande tiles, or going to the Daxiangguo Temple to burn incense. It's not like a barbarian at all,

However, the head of state on this side of the Jiehe River, who is obviously a painter of Bianliangzi, is now a martial artist, going out on a safari for three days and two ends, and also asking the public officials to take the archery test...... Recently, I was tossing a Rausch Shooting Grand Prix, and the prize for the first place was 10,000 silks! He's so willing!

The same thing he spent money on (in fact, it was spent by the city department) built the Jiehe branch of the Yuntai School Palace outside the west gate of Jiehenan City, and he was also recruiting students during this time, and he also had to take the archery and horseback riding exams...... A good reader who can ride a horse and shoot an arrow? That is, these young nobles of the Northland who have not yet lost their wildness are eligible.

……

I don't know when the children of the Khitan in the north began to be afraid of the cold, in the spring and summer they were in Shangjing, Zhongjing or their own head in the north of the mountain, and after the autumn wind rose, they went south to cross Yanshan, and lived in the most prosperous Yanjing City in the entire Great Liao Kingdom.

Therefore, Murong Wan and Wu Haogu also firmly seized this opportunity, and through Ma Zhi, the deputy envoy of the Nanjing Provincial Police of the Liao State, distributed 100,000 beautifully printed enrollment advertisements in the city of Xijin Prefecture.

It also played the signboard of "Dongpo disciple", and also shouted the slogan of "becoming benevolent for heaven and earth, taking righteousness for the people, going to the holy road, and opening peace for the world", and of course, there is also a discount for all tuition and miscellaneous fees......

All tuition fees and miscellaneous fees are exempted, and these noble children in the north don't care, although they are not rich, they still have a few dollars. As for the "four sentences of the doctor", they can't understand it, what really attracts them is actually the name of "Dongpo disciple".

Su Dongpo was an "international talent" in the late Northern Song Dynasty, not only in the Great Song Dynasty, but also in Liao, Goryeo, and even in Japan. And the reason why he was so unlucky and was demoted to Danzhou is actually related to his fame.

The apparent reason for his denunciation seems to be that he wrote in "Huzhou Xie Shangbiao": "Your Majesty knows that he is stupid and uncomfortable, and it is difficult to follow Xinjin; Observe that the old man is not troublesome, or he can shepherd the small people", but the fundamental reason is actually a dispute between schools.

Su Dongpo is a leader in the literary world, and he is also a scholar of Sumen Shuxue, and at that time he was a first-level figure with Ercheng and Zhang Zai. It has become a thorn in the side of the new party that wants to implement new studies and new policies, and has been beaten and punished.

However, as a result of his being evil, he was praised higher by Confucian scholars from various countries who did not know the truth, and he really became a talented and high-ranking Confucian. On the Liao side, the popularity was even higher, and almost every Confucian student regarded Sumen's learning as Confucian orthodoxy, and regarded Wang Anshi's new learning as pseudo-learning.

Therefore, the "Dongpo disciple" really has a great appeal among the children of the Liao nobles who have nothing to do in Xijin Mansion - anyway, it is idle, it is better to go to Jiehe Commercial Market to study, even if you can't learn anything, the name of a "Dongpo disciple" is worth it.

It is precisely because of this idea that the three well-known figures in the circle of the children of the nobles in Yanjing, the Heng Tent Imperial Family, the eighth grandson of Abaoji, Yelu Dashi, Xiao Tieniu, who was born in the other departments of the country, and Han Dagou of the Yutian Han family, each gathered a group of friends and went south to Jiehe, a city of merchants who were half Song and half Liao, to study.

These dozens of Liao teenagers who rushed to the door were finally stopped by the police patrols guarding the gate outside the open north gate.

It's not that you won't be allowed to enter, but you have to register your name, ask about your intentions, if you plan to live in the mayor of Jieheshang, then you have to apply for a household register, if it's just a short-term visit, then you can issue a personal card.

Just when the police inspectors registered and issued cards to them one by one, Xiao Tieniu, who was still debating with Yelu Dashi and Han Dagou just now, had already seen clearly the red bricks that formed the city wall.

"Grandma is a bear, it's really a red brick, how rich this Heshang City should be!"

About fifteen or sixteen years old, with a Guozi face, very white skin, the childishness on his face has not faded, but the very burly Yelu Dashi laughed heartily: "Iron Bull, isn't it just a few bricks?" Look at you, when your name falls to Sun Mountain, brother, I will send you ten catties of bricks to take back to Yanjing, and it is not in vain. ”

The young man named Xiao Tieniu was younger than Yelu Dashi, looking only twelve or thirteen years old, he was a little stunned, but after listening to Dashi's joke, he thought about it seriously, and said: "I don't want bricks, you can give me a few catties of Jiehe Wine Immortals!" I heard that it was the best wine in the world, and my father liked it the most. ”

Jiuzhongxian has achieved mass production at the Panlou Distillery in Jiehe Shang City, and this distilled liquor is extremely popular in the Liao Kingdom, to the point that it is difficult to find a liquor.

The young man named Han Dagou was the eldest of the three, about twenty years old, he was a native of Yanjing, and he was a descendant of the Han family in Yutian. The family bought a house in Jiehe Commercial Market and ran a lumber yard, which is considered the richest.

Hearing Xiao Tieniu asking for wine, he laughed on the spot: "Tieniu, you are really good at picking good things, and a few catties of wine in the immortal will cost tens of thousands of dollars in the Jiehe Commercial Market!" Big Stone didn't bring that much money, so I'd better ask for it. ”

This Great Liao Country is still poor! Tens of thousands of dollars (not 缗) are actually a lot of money.

"You don't need to ask for it," although Yelu Dashi is young, he seems to be the leader of this group of people, and when he saw the big guy, he was a little discouraged, and at this time he said energetically, "We all have to stay in the Yuntai Academy!"

Is it not just a Han school palace? If it's completely examined, we won't be able to get in. But those tricks have all said that the school palace is the route of Yunwen and Yunwu.

Today, let's enter the city, first go to the big dog's house to rest for a day. Tomorrow, I will go to the Yuntai Academy with Big Dog and Tie Niu to explore. Find out how well they are in the exam, and then come back to prepare for good students. ”

"Good!"

"It's on the big rock!"

This group of noble young people from the north responded violently, and they were all arrogant, as if they had been admitted to the Yuntai Academy and become Su Dongpo's disciples.

"That young man in white is good, I don't know what to say, but let dozens of people respond to him!"

Yelu Dashi probably wouldn't have thought at this time that Wu Haogu, the head of Jiehe Shang City, was immediately at a crossroads with Ximen Qing at the north gate of Jiehe Shang City, looking at this group of teenagers who came to Jiehe to study from afar. And I was attracted by the excellent performance of Yelu Dashi.

He and Ximen Qing went to inspect the No. 1 Horse Farm of the North Boundary River today. The horse farm was well managed, and the foals born from the cross-breeding of the first generation of Persian stallions with tall mares of Hebei, Khitan and West Pole breeds were now almost a year old, giving birth to thirty or forty horses in all, each of which was numbered on the butt and had its own file established for further crossbreeding. After watching the racecourse, I met this group of "little doctors" from the north.
