The Mu family's outer house, a small study across the courtyard.

The spring exams were supposed to be held in February, but the summer was delayed because of the Lanyu case, and it was called the summer list, and there were three days left to start.

Xu Hao sat alone at the back of the house, looking at the things in his hands, while looking at Zhou Peng, Zhao Hesong and others who were talking and laughing, obviously they were very nervous, but at this time, they had to look how calm and comfortable they were, didn't they know that their stiff expressions and postures were completely different from usual?

The other three are all friends of Zhao Hesong, and all four of them are northerners. In the face of Zhao Hesong's request, Mrs. Mu felt inconvenient and didn't want to accept too many outsiders to live in her house, but Xu Hao was very grateful to Zhao Hesong for coming to inform him of Zhang Yueyun's whereabouts that day, and took the initiative to rent a small courtyard outside Mu's house for the four scholars to live temporarily.

During the Ming Dynasty, there was a big gap between the north and the south in all aspects, the biggest of which was the reading environment. In the north, however, due to various reasons, there are very few people studying and becoming officials compared with the south.

As a person from the capital, Zhou Peng likes to socialize with Zhao Hesong and other four people, and often chats with candles together for several days, and everyone only reads books together for a few days, so they call each other classmates.

Feng Quan adhered to the habit of the southern Shilin to despise the northern Shilin, and was unwilling to deal with these vulgar northerners, so he accompanied Mu Ang to sit at the front at the moment, willing to be poisoned by Mr. Jiang Song.

Jiang Song's arrival was completely Xu Hao's whim that day, wanting to borrow Mu Ang's hand to fight poison with poison, please Feng Quan persuaded Mrs. Mu, who knew that Jiang Song, who was greedy for two hundred taels of silver a year, arrived, swept away the previous irresponsibility, and had to teach Mu Ang to become a talent.

Mrs. Mu is very satisfied with this, and recently added a hundred taels of silver to the bundle, and the rituals at each festival are never interrupted, which makes Jiang Song, who wanted to take a break and be lazy, like a chicken blood, chasing the disappointing Professor Mu Ang every day, and Mu Ang is miserable for this.

The personalities of the three young scholars are also different from each other, Zhang Xin is a typical northerner, his eyes are slightly small, he is used to squinting when he laughs, he is of medium stature, he has a bold personality and acts with a big grin, he seems to prefer to socialize with people than to read, and is good at talking; Yu Peng is tall, with a long face and a little short-sighted, very confident in his appearance, and pays great attention to appearance, but his reading qualifications are the worst, and he likes to pull everyone together to peek at the women in the village in his spare time, and often makes a point of discussion for this product, but unfortunately his inner delicacy and external performance are just inversely proportional, and there is really that bold little lady who takes the initiative to come forward to talk, but he will become stumbling because of shyness.

Zuihou a named Sun Tao, chubby and smiling like Maitreya Buddha, the shortest of the three, very easy-going personality and never grudge with others, the three of them are the best, but once they are calculated, they are very stubborn, and they value face the most.

Among the four people, Zhao Hesong's family is the best, and he is even smarter to take refuge in the Mu family in the morning, and those three are all from ordinary families, and each other's family backgrounds are half a catty and eight taels, they have been staying in the temple, relying on helping the monks do some trivial things in exchange for three meals.

Recently, because there were too many rituals in the temple, the three of them couldn't study with peace of mind, so they came together.

Xu Hao also likes to associate with them, without too much red tape, without identity restrictions, and going straight is like going back to college.

Xu Hao, who was discussing the Bagu article or something, couldn't interject, so he sat in front of Zuihou, and the things in his hand were handed over to him by Zhu Di for the first time, all of which were notices and other materials issued by the imperial court in the past year.

It is estimated that Zhu Di began to deliberately test himself. Xu Hao sighed, lowered his head and continued to look through. The information about the Blue Jade case was dense, and one of the names of the people caught his attention.

"I said that I haven't seen Yu Manting in the past few days, it turns out that his son has been stripped of his title and returned to his hometown with him." Xu Hao smacked his lips, another rival in love unfortunately died, thanks to himself, he was fine, otherwise wouldn't Mu Ningxue become a boy killer?

I didn't want to read any more, so I flipped through the notice, it was about diplomacy. Xu Hao lowered his head and studied for a long time, only to know that the Li dynasty had just been established last year, and this year he sent seven or eight envoys to Beijing to pay tribute, wanting to be recognized by the imperial court.

And the whole cause and effect of the founding of the country is unknown, anyway, it is the unscrupulous faint monarch who tried to start a war against the Ming Dynasty, and regarded the Ming Dynasty as a loyal minister of food and clothing, the general Li Chenggui raised his arms and shouted, those soldiers who knew the righteousness followed one after another, and the common people looked at the scenery, and then overthrew the mediocre and corrupt court, so Li Chenggui was elected by the people as a little king, and established a small vassal country of North Korea that was forever loyal to the Ming Dynasty.

The so-called Shida Doctrine, in which the word Shida comes from Mencius, is a Confucian diplomatic concept that originated from the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. "Small is a big thing, and faith is also; Big so keep small, benevolent! Therefore, North Korea even has a special affairs department, which is the first of the various departments of Licho.

Xu Hao understands that North Korea is a thousand-year-old subject country, and the helplessness of the three family slaves is deeply imprinted in the blood of the Korean nation, making the whole nation have a kind of paranoia that borders on hysterical self-esteem and self-improvement.

Although later generations hated many of the practices of North and South Korea, Xu Hao also pitied his arrogance and narrow-mindedness caused by finally surpassing China's economy and other aspects, and also admired the miracle of the Han River created by the efforts of the Korean people.

All in all, North Korea is a weak existence that can never match China, the geographical environment and population will always restrict the development of North Korea, and the most unfortunate thing is that the neighbors around them are too strong, if the North Koreans are placed in Europe, they may be able to become a hegemon in Europe, but in Asia all efforts of North Korea are doomed to be in vain, and they will always have to rely on the eyes of a great power to act and survive in the cracks.

In his early years, Xu Hao was influenced by public opinion, and he hated North and South Korea more than the Japanese country, but later with the enrichment of experience, especially after coming into contact with Korean variety shows, he became more and more aware of the helplessness and powerlessness of being a small country. For thousands of years, the history of tragic and epic humiliation has run through the entire Korean Peninsula, so much so that it is still necessary to rely on posterity to invent myths and legends to boost national pride, which is sad and lamentable! As long as someone can bring honor to South Korea, he can become a national hero in an instant, and the reality is destined that there will not be too many such national heroes.

After learning about all aspects of South Korea's various classes, Xu Hao became very sympathetic to the Korean people, and the big country is the big Korea, and the real big country doesn't need to boast about it. And in some places, Xu Hao also admires South Korea very much, but in fact, there is nothing worth learning from Japan? The most taboo thing to be a person is to be complacent, and the same is true for the state. South Korea has to compete with China in many areas, such as the Dragon Boat Festival or something, and he always laughs it off. Of course, the protection of the cultural heritage of the nation cannot be ignored, but that is not Xu Hao's business, people have crossed over.

Today's Ming Dynasty is like the United States in later generations, Lee's North Korea treats the Ming Dynasty like a son honoring his parents, and he dares not to be rude at all, Xu Hao, a document from North Korea, understands it at a glance, and the wording is almost the same as the official requirements of the Ming Dynasty, no wonder they all call North Korea Little China, it seems that Korean has not yet been invented at this time.

The Koreans were submissive, the Mongols were submissive, and the Jurchens were submissive, and it seemed that only the Wa were disobedient. Xu Hao vaguely remembered that Zhu Yuanzhang was also angry about the edict of the Son of Heaven in the country of sunrise to the Son of Heaven in the country of sunset, and ordered not to have any dealings with the Japanese country, and was disturbed by the pirates of the Japanese country and the Nanyang trade to ban the sea, so he has been haunted by it, and before he died, he listed the Japanese country as a country not to be conquered.

For Mao is not levy? Is it because he is afraid of repeating the mistakes of the Yuan Dynasty? Or do you want to requisition barren land that doesn't want to cost people and money? Or are you worried that it will not be easy to rule a territory that hangs in the middle of nowhere? I'm afraid it's all three.

Xu Haoxin said that if I were the emperor, I would order to adopt the strategy of using razing to defeat raze and drive away the wolf. Compared with my Ming Dynasty, North Korea is overwhelmed by the brutal Japanese and hates them to the core. It is better to import all kinds of materials from North Korea in the form of economic and trade aid, and grasp its economic lifeline with the lack of North Korean handicrafts, and then support the bureaucracy loyal to the Ming Dynasty, such North Korean nobles are really not too much, it is said that there has long been a "big party", which is equivalent to the leading party of later generations, everything in the Ming Dynasty is the most beautiful haode, and the subordinate people of the Ming Dynasty are the most glorious, praising the Ming Dynasty all day long, complaining about why North Korea can not be incorporated into the territory of the Ming Dynasty?

In any case, it is necessary to firmly control the government, and then let it build a large number of warships on its own, gradually occupy the coastal islands, and recruit the warlike Mongols and Jurchens as mercenaries, perhaps promising them to burn, kill, loot and occupy land at will after landing on the Japanese mainland.

In this way, without spending a single soldier, and constantly treating others in the way of others, I don't believe that the hundred-year-long Japanese rebellion will not cause the same harm to your Japanese country?

Xu Hao didn't think about conquering Korea and Japan or anything, because it was not realistic at all, European countries occupied more land, and after World War I and World War II, they were not all independent?

Xu Hao just thought about venting his anger, as long as the history books can be recorded as above, it is enough, and when the Chinese and Korean people study history in the future, they will also be excited to applaud, North Korea, with the support of China, can be regarded as a fierce killing, robbery and tossing of the Japanese, it is better than the current blind beating and anger.

Fantasy is not reality, and Xu Hao is not a dreamer, he feels that his idea can be tried, and the worst will be from Liaodong and even Korea and the Japanese kingdom to obtain huge trade profits.

It takes a lot of talents to do anything, so Xu Hao naturally set his eyes on a few young people who were talking.

There was a deep ill-will in his eyes.
