The cold fog that permeated the fields of Beicangzhou in the early hours of the morning was dispelled by the sun rising in mid-air, but when the sun shone on the body, people did not feel much warmth.

Now it is close to the wax moon, the temperature continues to drop, last night was a month of northwest wind, early this morning made people feel cold, compared to last night and cold three points. The sky was clear, but the water in the moat of Aojiabao had begun to freeze, and it would not be long before the entire surface of the water would freeze into a thick patch of ice. At that time, you don't have to lower the drawbridge, and you can ride directly through it.

Wu Haogu, who had a hearty conversation with Wanyan Xianye and Wanyan A yesterday, was already surrounded by guards at this time, and embarked on the return journey to Jiehe Shang City. He was going to rush back to Jiehe Shang City to preside over the entrance examination and graduation examination of the Yuntai Academy and the Knight Academy.

Different from the June college entrance examination that everyone was accustomed to in later generations, the triennial "college entrance examination" time in the Northern Song Dynasty was in the spring, usually in late February.

Therefore, the local liberation examination and the entrance examination of various government schools are generally held in autumn and winter, and Yuntai School Palace is no exception. Entrance exams and graduation exams are held from the end of November to the beginning of December.

In this way, students who did not pass the release test were given the opportunity to apply for the Yuntai Academy, and at the same time, the graduates of the Yuntai Academy were given the opportunity to take advantage of the "exemption" treatment to take the examination of the Ministry of Rites.

Of course, such an arrangement is only meaningful for candidates who happen to encounter the entrance examination or graduation examination and the imperial examination. This year happens to be the year when the triennial Liberation Examination is held, and next spring is the time to hold the Ministry of Rites Examination. Moreover, it is the first imperial examination competition after the reform of the imperial examination, which is naturally very important.

The current Wu Haogu has changed his attitude of despising liberal arts and sciences many years ago, and has begun to attach importance to this world-renowned "right way to take scholars". Therefore, as early as after the end of the last imperial examination competition, the "imperial examination course" began to be opened in the law school of Yuntai Academy. That is, professors with experience in the imperial examination are specially organized to study the content of the next Zuobang imperial examination, and then conduct targeted training for the students of the law school.

In order to ensure that some of them can be left in the next imperial examination.

This is a promotion rate that is even more awesome than the promotion rate of later generations! And he is also the most honorable civil official from Zuobang Jinshi!

With the "promotion rate", the Yuntai Academy of Law can truly become the number one university in the world, thereby enhancing the popularity of the entire Yuntai Palace. In this way, we can recruit rich people from all over the world to pay the high tuition and sponsorship fees...... A big competition in the imperial examination can be related to the fortune of the Yuntai Academy in the next three years, but Wu Haogu can't help but pay great attention to it!

Wan Yan Xian also drank a few more pots of wine last night, and now he is still asleep. Zhao Zhongge, who was responsible for entertaining the two finished faces, walked side by side with Wu Haogu. It's not to send each other, but there are some unclear things to ask Wu Haogu.

"Xuan Shuai, how do you want to use those Jurchens?"

"Utilization? How is it exploited? Hearing Brother Zhao Zhong's question, Wu Haogu just smiled and said, "It should be help, our doctoral group likes to help the barbarians enter the summer the most, and this is called the world to return to benevolence." ”

"Yes, yes, it's to help ......" Zhao Zhongge nodded and said with a wry smile, "Then how can we help them?" ”

"Of course, it's to help them get back to themselves!" Wu Hao Gu Dao, "No, it's not a revenge, but a weekly salute, enter China, and then you can return to the world." ”

"Weekly salute?" Brother Zhao Zhong still didn't understand, "We can't do the Zhou Rite here, can they still do the Zhou Rite?" ”

"We're past the stage of the weekly salute." Wu Haogu said with a smile, "But their Jurchens, as well as the Broken Leaf Town that Yelu Dashi and they take, are just right to perform the Zhou salute." ”

The so-called weekly rites are not to engage in any red tape, and the connotation of weekly rites is not etiquette, but a kind of feudal order.

In other words, to perform the weekly rite is to promote feudalism! It is not the so-called "great unified feudal dynasty" feudalism that was indiscriminately buttoned in later generations, but the standard feudalism of the Western Zhou Dynasty, the real feudal statehood, and the feudal state at all levels.

This feudal system was of course outdated for the developed coastal areas of the Great Song Dynasty, which had already begun to cross into the maritime colonial empire. This is not to say that one point cannot be adopted, but it cannot be implemented as a major political system.

However, feudalization was still necessary for the birth of the Jurchens, for the town of Shaye, and even for the places newly annexed to the Great Song Dynasty, such as Anxi, Beiting, Hexi, and Shuofang, and the Song-style bureaucracy was not suitable for the situation there.

"Don't do the Song system, but do the Zhou ceremony?" Brother Zhao Zhong already understood a little, "Xuan Shuai, do you want the Jurchen country to slowly become like the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period?" ”

"Hehe," Wu Haogu smiled, "It's the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and it's stronger than the Great Song Dynasty a few years ago!" If there were no us, the Great Song Dynasty would not be as good as the Seven Heroes of the Warring States. ”

Brother Zhao Zhong was a little confused again.

Wu Haogu continued: "If they perform the Zhou ceremony, our Doctor's League Academy and the commercial market will be able to gain a foothold on their territory!" Academies and commercial markets can also participate in feudalism. Brother Zhong, do you understand? ”

The academy presided over by the doctoral group is different from a university like Yuntai Academy, and the academy of the doctoral group is not a university, but a semi-religious organization. A bit like temples and churches, it is entirely possible to become a semi-religious and semi-feudal lord.

The merchant market, on the other hand, follows the path of the European free city - the so-called free city is actually a feudal lord, who receives fiefs from the big lords, exercises self-government, and bears certain feudal obligations, such as money, food, and troops. Some free cities grew bigger and became commercial republics. The current Jiehe Commercial Market, Jingdong Commercial Market, Nanxin Island Commercial Market, and Jueying Island Commercial Market are almost the same way.

"I see," Zhao Zhongge nodded, "Then where should we establish a commercial market and a academy?" ”

"The market must be on the coast, along the river." Wu Haogu said, "The land of Suzhou Anfu Army must be taken, this does not need to be a Jurchen nod, it should be the land of the imperial court...... In addition, you can also get one near the Ratein Mansion, one at the mouth of the Yalu River, one at the mouth of the Liaohe River, and one at the mouth of the Tongjiang River if conditions permit. ”

The territory of the province is in the homeland of the Bohai Kingdom, and the core area is about the vicinity of Vladivostok in later generations. That's a military location! And there is also a certain economic value, sea cucumbers and furs can be obtained. The commercial value of the estuaries of the Yalu River and the Liao River is even greater, second only to the Suzhou Anfu Army.

As for the territory mixed with the estuary, although it does not have much economic value, it is worth laying out a "since ancient times".

In addition, there are many savage tribes in the area of the Tongjiang River, which are very ideal sources of mercenary soldiers. As long as you establish a stronghold at the mouth of the Mingtong River and have the ability to sail along the Mingtong River, you can continue to recruit wild people from the backyard of the Jurchens who are likely to be Jurchen as soldiers at a relatively low cost!

In a twelfth-century maritime empire, the need for cheap mercenaries was almost limitless. Because there are so many places that can go "since ancient times".

"As for the academy," Wuhao Gudao said, "where there is a commercial market, there must be an academy...... The academy and the commercial market can become one. In addition, there must be a large academy in the capital of the Jurchen Kingdom, and the noble children of the Jurchens must become students of the Doctoral Academy.

Only in this way can the doctoral group gain a firm foothold in the Jurchens, and the Jurchens will be led to the right path of Quy Nhon. ”

"Xuan Shuai," Brother Zhao Zhong suddenly heard something from Wu Haogu's words, "Are you worried that the Jurchens will become another Khitan in the future?" ”

Another Khitan? Wu Hao Guxin said: It's good to do this! The Jurchens are much more fierce than the Khitans, and they do not have the eyes and vision of the Khitans.

If the Doctor Group can't guide them, they don't know the importance of controlling the Obstruction Grassland! If the grassland develops uncontrollably and barbarically, it will be a disaster for all mankind.

……

"Zhuqing, I have just received the secret music of Wu Haogu, the envoy of Hebei Xuanfu, the secret envoy of the Jurchen Alliance, and now I have arrived in Jiehe Shang City!"

In the Chongzheng Palace, the official Zhao Ji threw out a "good" that made the important ministers present frown a little as soon as he opened the scene.

In fact, everyone knows that the Jiehe side and the leaders of the Jurchen tribes have a good relationship with the Hushui Wanyan Department.

But after all, Wanyan is a subordinate of Da Liao, and it seems that it is very inappropriate to always hook up with the Great Song Dynasty!

"Moreover, Wu Haogu said in the secret recital, let the alliance of the Jurchen tribes be a vassal to my Great Song Dynasty!" Zhao Ji then smashed out another "bomb". "What do you think?"

"No!"

Prime Minister Su Zhe hurriedly spoke, "Your Majesty, I can only communicate with my birth girl in secret, and I must not accept their submission openly. Otherwise, not only will they have a bad relationship with the Khitan, but even the Goryeo people will be enemies of our Great Song Dynasty. If Goryeo and Khitan become one, the land of Yanyun will never recover. ”

Zhao Ji frowned deeply, and then looked at Deputy Prime Minister Zhang Shangying, Zhang Shangying also played: "Your Majesty, the old minister also thinks it's inappropriate." The Jurchen tribes have always submitted to the Khitan for more than 100 years. If we rashly accept them as vassals, it will be tantamount to tearing up the alliance of the Yuanyuan. And it is also our initiative to betray the alliance......"

"But the birth of the Jurchen came thousands of miles to join him, if I don't allow it, won't it chill the hearts of the real people?" Zhao Ji frowned and said, "The Military Machinery Division said that the Birth Nuzhen has 4,000 outfits and 16,000 light horses, which is actually the strongest domain in Haidong. If you can collect it for your own use, you can make a big help to the Northern Expedition to Yanyun in the future. And after recovering Yanyun, he can also entrust the affairs of the northern kingdom to the Jurchens...... Don't you think it's okay? ”
