Huishan is located in the southeast of Kaifeng 30 miles away, along the river boat only more than an hour to arrive.
"Huishan" is surrounded by mountains on all sides of a thousand acres of valley, just forming a "Hui" character, hence the name.
The Bianhe River splits the mountain like a silver chain, passes through the valley, divides the plain into two parts, one large and one small, and Huishan Village is located in the place where the river is located in a large valley.
The three of them stood on the boat and looked around, only to see that the mountains on the north and south lines were high and steep, sandwiching the plains and valleys in the middle, and the mountains were gentle and flat in the east and west.
Although it is winter, a little less verdant, but it does not reduce the beauty of the mountain at all, the north and south mountains are towering and steep, and the strange pine and strange stones are like two screen paintings that reflect each other.
On the west slope, looking at the flat valley and the long river in the distance, a forest courtyard can be faintly seen, and the pavilion is smoky, just like a fairyland.
The steward who came to settle with Fan Zhongyan introduced: "Huishan was the summer vacation place of the old family owner at the beginning, and at first only a house in Xishan was Caofu's. When the peach trees in the west mountain and the north and south screens are all in bloom in February and March of the following year, the whole Huishan is called beautiful and has nothing to say. ”
Tang Yi pointed to a row of big boats docked on the shore and asked, "Didn't you say that it was just a small village of one hundred and ten households?" Why are so many boats still parked? ”
The steward said respectfully: "So that the prince knows that the merchant ships going back and forth in Kaifeng are scheduled and cannot enter the city directly." In the past, they were all parked in rows outside the city and waited, blocking the river, and the merchants on the boat had nowhere to stay. ”
"After the old master went west, the young master didn't often come here to escape the summer. Fauber felt that it was a pity that such a good place was vacant, so he operated it a little, and repaired the port on the shore for merchant ships to dock and repair. ”
The steward continued: "The shipwrecks who often take the Jingshi waterway know that when they return to the mountain port, they usually stop their ships here first, send people to the city to line up, and then enter the city in a hurry. Later, when there were more people, Fubo added foot shops, miscellaneous shops, and iron shops around the wharf to facilitate the supply of ship merchants. ”
Tang Yi nodded, and said in his heart, Cao Fu is really good at business.
It's just that it's a pity that such a good place has been made a cargo terminal.
....
As he spoke, the boat came to shore, and the steward led everyone out of the boat. Tang Yi saw that there were really a lot of people on this shore, merchants with accents from all over the world gathered around the wharf, and several shops specialized in the business of ship merchants, and the business was not bad.
After the wharf, you will return to the mountain village, a dirt road leading to the west mountain, and the tenant farmers' houses are lined up along the road, although it is slightly dilapidated, but it is still neat.
The steward of Caofu sued for a crime and led Zhang Jinwen to find the village and the shopkeepers of the shops to settle the deal.
Zhang Quanfu asked his son Zhang Jinwen to follow Tang Yi into Beijing, and he had been idle during this time, and this time he happened to act as the housekeeper of the Fan Mansion.
Fan Zhongyan and the others were led by a servant of the Cao Mansion and went up the West Mountain along the dirt road.
The local people of Xishan named Wanghepo, the mountain is gentle, the high place is only more than 100 meters, but the vision is excellent, stand on the mountain and look at the water, and the beautiful scenery of the mountain is in full view. Otherwise, Cao Yu and his father Cao Xi would not have come here to build a house.
Fan Zhongyan was also very satisfied after seeing the house, the Cao family is a huge rich man in the capital, how can the garden for his own use be bad?
Cao Xi obviously put a lot of thought into it back then, and the whole house covers an area of ten acres, which is built in the middle of the hillside, hidden among the trees.
The study in the garden, the cool hall, the flower building, the treasure pavilion are all complete, the backyard leads the spring water to accumulate a small pool, the end of the water pavilion is graceful, as long as it is slightly rebuilt, it can be used as the academy.
Fan Zhongyan and Yin Zhu, the two old men, both liked this house very much, and discussed how to change it to meet the public use without losing the original beauty.
Tang Yi saw that the two of them were fighting enthusiastically, so he quietly retreated and explored around the courtyard wall.
He didn't have any interest in this house, later generations had seen the Ming and Qing Dynasty gardens that set garden art in Dacheng, and Tang Yi didn't feel anything about this kind of garden that could only be regarded as an average level.
Fan Yin and the others thought it was good, they hadn't seen it, and those big families in the south of the Yangtze River in the Ming and Qing dynasties had built gardens into flowers. Song Garden is just tiled in the past, at most it is an artistic conception, but the Ming and Qing gardens are three-dimensional, talking about one step and one scene, can it be compared?
He wandered around to see if he could build another house beyond this courtyard.
Disappointingly, however, the house was built on a flat plot of land on the mountainside, and it would have to be built on a slope if it was twice as wide.
Tang Yi flattened his mouth helplessly, "It seems that Minxue can only be built down the mountain." ”
"But it's okay to stay away from these old pedants, and save yourself from being pedantic."
...
Folk Studies.
Tang Yi wanted to run a private school for a day or two, and he suddenly had this idea from the beginning of fooling Fan Zhongyan to run the school. He wanted to set up a school that was not dedicated to Confucianism, but only taught for the livelihood of the people.
It can be said that from the first time he persuaded Fan Zhongyan to do something, he had the idea of doing something for this old man, and by the way, doing something for this era.
However, Tang Yi is only one person....
What can one person do? He can make a breakthrough at a certain 'point', but he can't change everything on the 'face' of the Great Song Dynasty, let alone affect the final flow of the 'line' of history.
So, Tang Yi thought of running a school, following the way of opening a new school in the Westernization Movement at the end of the Qing Dynasty, and cultivating a group of talents who jumped out of the thinking of the times. Only with more help around him can he have greater movements.
In later generations, some people said that what the Great Song Dynasty lacked most was iron and blood, and what was lacking was the domineering spirit of the ten thousand ethnic groups referred to by Jin Ge.
Some people say that the most lacking thing in the Great Song Dynasty is luck, if there is no big gold, it can be expected to die; If there is no Mengyuan, then the world can be dominated.
In the past, Tang Yi might have agreed.
However, after coming to the Great Song Dynasty for more than a year, Tang Yi didn't dare to say such crazy things anymore.
It was these basic sciences that the Great Song Dynasty lacked the most.
He chatted with the top celebrities of the Great Song Dynasty and tasted the people's livelihood with the people at the bottom. He found that there was no shortage of blood in this era, they just lived too comfortably, thinking that the whole world was like them, well-fed and warm, and happy.
However, the wealth of the Song Dynasty was in an extremely awkward position, unable to break through the bottleneck and advanced to the high-level, and was coveted by hungry wolves because it was too rich.
It is like a peak Qi refining cultivator with a heavy treasure in his hand, thinking that he is invincible during the Qi cultivation period, but he can't stand the siege of a group of Qi refining cultivators, so he has to use the peace to survive.
However, later, a monk named Jin Guo finally built a Dao foundation and snatched the treasure in his hand in an instant. Later, the Mongolian Jindan overhaul was born, and the Great Song Dynasty of Qi Refining finally lost its life.
So how can this be changed?
The whole army and the military are at a level that Tang Yi can't touch, and the only thing he thinks of now is to make the Great Song Dynasty richer.
Right! Richer!
In other words, increase productivity.
Only by improving productivity can the Great Song Dynasty break through the shackles of qi training and achieve foundation building, even Jindan overhaul.
Absolute strength derives absolute desire.
Only when the strength of the Song Dynasty transcends to a new level, and only when the land of the Central Plains can no longer satisfy the desires of the Great Song Dynasty, will the ruling class regain its covetousness for "the world". By that time, many of the problems that seem to be problems now will not be problems.
...
And wealth, concept, and basic science, these three conditions are the Zhuji Dan that broke through the bottleneck of the Great Song Dynasty.
Wealth, Tang Yi is accumulating. It takes a long time for this to precipitate, and the wealth may be large enough to leverage the entire social system.
Concepts and basic science can only be relied on by running schools....
