Cultivation: When you do things to the extreme

"Grandmaster?"

Liang Xiao waited for a moment, but still remained silent when he saw Wuhua, and finally couldn't help but call out again.

Wuhua then turned around and looked him up and down: "Your Highness, are you still going?"

"this……"

Liang Xiao also hesitated after hearing this: "What's wrong, Master?"

Wuhua shook his head and said quietly: "There are crouching tigers and hidden dragons here. The poor monk is not good at cultivation. I'm afraid I can't guarantee the safety of His Highness!"

Only then did Liang Xiao understand what he meant, and he hesitated even more. But after thinking about his situation and what he had seen along the way, he finally gritted his teeth and said, "I've come here, so leaving like this is unreasonable!"

"All right!"

Wuhua heard this and stopped trying to persuade him. He only said to the groom: "Don't hurt yourself or others rashly from now on."

"..."

The groom was speechless and only watched Liang Xiao's reaction.

Liang Xiao was also serious: "Master is right, there are crouching tigers and hidden dragons here. Don't act rashly until you are at the critical point of life and death!"

"yes!"

The groom just nodded after hearing this.

"Let's go!"

The three of them returned to the car and continued to move forward.

Liang Xiao also opened the academy rules and introduced them to Wuhua while comparing them with the outside world.

"Master, where we are now is still on the outskirts of Guobei Academy."

"In the peripheral areas, excluding official roads, most of them are acres."

"The fields in Guobei County are now owned by Guobei Academy."

"Guobei Academy allocates it to the people for farming, so the acres are divided into three categories: civilian fields, academic fields, and courtyard fields!"

"The land is farmed by the people, and the yield per mu is 800, 70% of it goes to the academy, and 30% goes to the farmers. In addition, no taxation or labor is done."

"Studying the fields and farming can yield a thousand catties per acre. Because of the cultivation of literary talent, it can even reach a thousand and five. The harvest goes to the academy, but the students who farm can get credits."

"Farming in the courtyard yields three thousand per mu, as well as spiritual rice. It is the property of the teacher, but students can also redeem it with credits."

"..."

Liang Xiao looked at the book in his hand, and his expression became more and more exciting the more he looked at it.

"The yield per mu is three thousand, and there is also spiritual rice. This..."

In the end, I don’t know how to express my words.

Wu Hua also frowned, turned her rosary gently, and said nothing.

Seeing this, Liang Xiao couldn't say much and could only continue to read the manual.

The carriage moved forward slowly, but within a moment, a large number of farmers appeared in the rice fields on both sides of the road.

They were harvesting rice, and there were a large number of carriages and horses parked on the left and right, many of which were already loaded with goods for shipment.

Liang Xiao glanced at it and frowned again: "Why is there no one harvesting the outer civilian fields? Could it be that these fields are different and have different maturation times?"

"If that's the case, in terms of quality, it should be Mintian with the lowest quality who matures first, right?"

"No, no, farming cannot be calculated like this. Civilian fields are of low quality and mature slowly, so harvesting is late, while academic fields are of high quality and mature quickly, so harvesting is early."

"..."

As he spoke, Liang Xiao's pupils shrank and turned pale with shock: "In that case, isn't that farmland the one with the most output and the highest quality?"

"The yield per mu is three thousand, how many seasons a year?"

Liang Xiao hurriedly looked through the book in his hand, but could not find any relevant introduction, which made him even more panicked.

Seeing this, Wu Hua also sighed: "With this technique of mulberry farming, a county in Guobei can support tens of millions of people."

"No wonder over the years, Guobei Academy has opened its gates widely, recruiting students, and even openly accepting refugees and relocating distressed people from various places. Now the population of Guobei County is probably no less than one million!"

"With a base of millions of people, even if ten people draw one ding, with one order from him, Guobei County can pull out one hundred thousand elite soldiers!"

"Coupled with all kinds of motivation, students from all over the world come here admiringly, the number of students in Guobei Academy, the number of cultivators..."

"Qualifications and qualifications. With these qualifications, even if the practice is difficult, you can still find a way!"

"The way of spiritual practice is based on incense. How much incense can a million people provide?"

"No wonder Guobei Academy and Mingxiao Yinshan Temple have developed so rapidly in recent years."

"This is the foundation of the emperor and the foundation of Taoism!"

"..."

Wu Hua's words were faint, Liang Xiao felt heavy, and he didn't know how to respond.

After a moment, he came back to his senses: "No, even if there is no shortage of food, how can one county accommodate a million people, let alone retain so many acres of land, where will the people live..."

Before he finished speaking, he was startled by something. Regardless of his appearance, he lifted the curtain and stuck his head out.

In the distance, where the official road ends, there is a stretch of buildings.

There are many tall buildings and busy traffic, but there are no city gates.

As a prince, Liang Xiao was born in the palace and was accustomed to seeing the prosperity of the capital. He originally thought that except for the famous mountains, rivers, caves, heavens and blessed lands, there would be no scenery that moved him.

But now, just looking from a distance, there is an indescribable shock.

Just when he was stunned and lost his mind.

A man rode past and then stopped: "Tuck your head back. How old are you? You still do this kind of thing. Don't you know it's dangerous?"

Liang Xiao: "..."

…

Half a day later, the carriage entered the city, Guobei County.

It is even more dazzling, with novelty everywhere.

The three of them parked the carriage and walked to a restaurant.

The waiter came to receive them and gave the three of them a booklet: "What do the guests want to eat? Our store has polished rice, medicinal wine, spiritual fish, and rare meat provided by the academy. The quality is guaranteed, so you can be honest!"

Liang Xiao looked at the book in his hand: "What is this?"

The waiter smiled and said: "The menu, with pictures and text, was made by asking the academy students to draw wonderful pictures!"

"oh?"

Liang Xiao opened it and took a look. It was full of pictures and texts, and the dishes were lifelike.

"good."

Although it felt novel, he was born as a prince after all, so he didn't show too much discomfort and calmly started to order: "Let's have some sweet and sour carp."

The waiter nodded and asked again: "What kind of fish do you want, sir? We have ordinary lotus carp fed on polished rice husks, and spiritual fish lotus carp raised in the college's salmon pond."

Liang Xiao glanced at the menu: "This spiritual fish actually costs ten gold pieces, and there is a limit to the quantity?"

"The spiritual fish raised in the Manyu Pond are very nutritious and can help with spiritual practice. The price is high, so the limit is natural."

The waiter explained: "If the guest is an academy student and uses credits to purchase, there is no limit to the quantity, or there is the academy's Wenqi money, Mingxiao Temple, Yinshan Temple, Qingping Temple, and Faming Temple's incense money, etc. There are no limits on purchases, and there are even discounts.”

"credit?"

"Wen Qi Qian!"

"Incense money?"

Liang Xiao and Wuhua looked at each other, then took out a gold ingot and said, "Just one."

"Okay, please wait a moment, sir."

"Wait!"

The waiter was about to leave, but Liang Xiao stopped him: "Where can I exchange the literary money and incense money? Do I have to go to an academy or worship at a Taoist temple?"

"No need."

The waiter was also very skilled at this: "The guest left our restaurant, walked straight forward, crossed three streets, turned left and went forward... In this way, you can see a bank, which is an academy. If the guest has money, Silver and other objects, as well as rare treasures and Taoist scriptures, can be brought in and exchanged for Dharma money!"

Liang Xiao and Wu Hua looked at each other, and then took out an ingot of gold ingot: "Can the store exchange some for me?"

The waiter was not surprised, and said with a chuckle: "Yes, small amount exchange is also a transaction, but the ratio is a little lower than that of the bank. I wonder what the customer wants?"

"Change it."

"Okay!"

After a while, a small bunch of Dharma money was handed into Liang Xiao's hands.

Liang Xiao looked at the copper plate in his hand that was no different from ordinary copper coins: "Is this Dharma money?"

"That's right, I'm honest with you, and the goods are genuine."

The waiter nodded and said: "It contains literary aura, incense, and magical power, which can help with spiritual practice. If you don't believe it, you can find any practitioner to check the authenticity."

"..."

Liang Xiao glanced at him, and then handed the money to Wuhua who was standing aside.

Wuhua looked at the magic money in his hand, his eyes changed, and then he nodded: "It's really clever."

Liang Xiao then turned around and looked the waiter up and down: "Do you also know about cultivation?"

The waiter smiled: "Everyone in Guobei County knows this."

"..."

Liang Xiao was silent again after hearing this.

Although the cultivation of the Dharma was manifested in the world at this time, it was not a shocking secret, but it was not accessible to everyone. Generally speaking, one had to obtain fame or become a disciple of Taoism and Buddhism to have a chance to understand it.

But in Guobei County... an ordinary waiter can talk about everything.

It is shocking to see a leopard in a tube and see the big from the small.

But he was too shocked and numb, so Liang Xiao did not lose his composure.

until the dishes are served.

"Um!?"

After Fang took a sip of the spirit wine, Liang Xiao changed color and his eyes were full of shock.

Wuhua noticed in front of him: "What's wrong?"

"This wine..."

Liang Xiao looked at the wine glass in his hand with some disbelief: "It seems to have increased my mana a little bit."

Wuhua also frowned when he heard this.

It is not uncommon to increase the spiritual objects of the Dharma. Each great sect has related methods and produces various spiritual objects of increasing the Dharma. For example, the Douzhaiguo from Bailong Temple is a famous spiritual object of increasing the Dharma.

But these magic-increasing spiritual objects have basically no effect on the people of the Tian family royal family.

Because he possesses dragon energy, all people's thoughts are confused and they automatically reject magic power.

Not to mention increasing magic and spiritual objects, even practicing magic and cultivation can't do it.

Liang Xiao also tried to cultivate his magic power by reciting Taoist scriptures like other practitioners.

But as soon as he read the scriptures, he felt that there were many distracting thoughts, and he could not calm down at all. Let alone develop his magic power, it would be fine if he did not go crazy.

This is a helpless matter for the Tian family. From ancient times to the present, countless emperors have tried to change their destiny against heaven, but in the end they could not break this iron law.

But now...

This sip of spiritual wine actually increased his magic power.

Although there is only a little bit, it is insignificant, almost nothing, but mana is mana.

What does a zero to one breakthrough mean?

Liang Xiao was frightened and restless.

"Your Highness...be patient!"

Wuhua felt heavy, but still calmed him down.

The two of them were distracted, and the delicious food tasted the same.

…

After a while, the two of them walked down from the restaurant, joined the coachman, and headed to the main courtyard shown on the map.

"With that concrete thing, building tall buildings for people to live in, even a county can accommodate millions of people while retaining farmland."

"This thing is truly an important weapon of the country!"

While sighing, the two finally arrived in front of the main courtyard.

But it was blocked.

A young man dressed in the same attire as the patrol student before stopped them: "Aren't you academy students?"

The two looked at each other and then nodded: "No!"

"Do you have an invitation?"

"No!"

"Is there any proof?"

"This... doesn't happen either!"

Looking at the three people who had nothing, the young man shook his head and said softly: "If you are not an academy student and do not have an invitation card to prove it, you are not allowed to attend classes. You can go and register for admission, or send a greeting card. After passing, you will have your own admission." Reception.”

"this……"

Liang Xiao hesitated for a while, but finally did not dare to reveal his identity and could only ask: "Where can I sign up and what are the requirements?"

The young man raised his hand and pointed: "Over there, turn left, the admissions office. There is no demand, but there is an admission assessment. According to the results, colleges will be assigned."

"Admission examination?"

Liang Xiao murmured, then nodded: "Thank you!"

"Need not."

…

Bid farewell to the young man, turned left, and soon arrived at the "Admissions Office!"

As a result, I saw huge crowds of people and long queues.

There are young and old, men and women.

In addition to the common people dressed in different styles, there are also martial arts warriors carrying swords on their backs, as well as outsiders wearing monks' robes.

There are Taoist priests, monks, nuns, wealthy young men in brocade robes, ladies and gentlemen, and there are ragged, skinny homeless beggars, and lonely common people.

"..."

Seeing this, Liang Xiao was also silent.

He didn't need anyone else to explain, he knew where these people came from.

Over the years, Guobei Academy has adhered to the purpose of "education without discrimination", opened its doors to a wide range of students, and even ignored the reaction of the court, openly accepting refugees from all over the country, as well as three religions and nine streams, escaped slaves and prostitutes...

All in all, as long as you are a human being and have never done evil, you can enter the gate of Guobei Academy.

Even, not everyone can do it!

Such practices caused great confusion.

Let's not talk about anything else, let's talk about prostitutes. Every year, countless women from brothels try their best to escape to Guobei Academy.

Most of the eight beauties from Qinhuai and the top ten from Jiangnan entered Guobei Academy.

Other courtesans in brothels followed suit and tried their best to escape.

I don't know how many brothels lost all their money because of this. They went to the academy to ask for someone, but they were sent back. They were even accused and their property was confiscated.

In addition to prostitutes, there were also beggars. Several beggar gangs were directly wiped out. The beggars in Jiangsu and Zhejiang were all moved to Guobei, either to go to school or to work in farming. Begging was no longer allowed.

This brought a large population and a large number of students to Guobei Academy.

But it also aroused resistance from various forces, tit for tat, and embarrassment.

So much so that Li Jianxian came to the door many times with his sword and fought with people to the death, as well as Mingxiao Temple and Yinshan Temple...

There are competing interests and a lot of confusion.

For now, Guobei Academy still has the advantage.

After all, Li Liuxian's flying sword is very powerful, Stone Dharma King's thunder method is even more terrifying, and there are Yinshan Dao's Yin soldiers and ghost generals. It is really difficult for all forces to match, and they can only avoid the edge.

Even the True Lord Evergreen could only comfort him and acted as a peacemaker several times.

In this way, Guobei Academy did not restrain itself, but intensified, causing a large number of people to flow into Guobei County every day.

The method of the soul is to cultivate the truth through falsehood!

Population means food, means practice, means everything.

What is the difference between Guobei Academy's actions and those of other forces?

If the "Iron Triangle" hadn't been so powerful, this academy would have been razed to the ground long ago.

Of course, these have nothing to do with Liang Xiao at the moment.

Now he only has one thing to worry about.

How long will it take to wait in such a long queue?

…

This queue lasted from afternoon to evening.

Classes in the academy have ended, but Liang Xiao is still queuing, his legs and feet are numb.

You should know that although he has not practiced law, he has also practiced martial arts, and his physique is not bad.

But while waiting like this, I still feel painful and suffering.

On the other hand, others were silent and had no complaints.

Like this, I don’t know how long...

"Finally we're here!"

Liang Xiao breathed a sigh of relief and walked into the admissions office with Monk Wuhua.

In a separate room, a woman in hospital uniform received him.

"Name?"

"Liang...Xiao Liang!"

"Gender age?"

"Male, eighteen years old!"

"Home address?"

"This... Jinyang Mansion."

After registration, the woman asked: "Which major are you going to apply for?"

"Which subject?"

Liang Xiao looked surprised: "I'm not sure, can you please explain it to me?"

"Call me senior!"

The woman glanced at him and explained: "Our academy has four major subjects: civil, martial arts, Taoism and Buddhism. Literature has Confucianism, engineering, agriculture, medicine and other subjects. Wushu has categories such as fighting, military, physical education, and generals. Taoism and Buddhism have Mingxiao. Guan, Yinshan Guan, Qingping Guan, Faming Temple’s four main traditions, which subject do you choose?”

"this……"

Liang Xiao thought about it for a while: "The liberal arts major is basically as the name suggests, but the martial arts major is a bit unclear. Miss... can senior sister explain a little bit about it."

The woman didn't care and continued: "Martial Arts is just as the name suggests. Fighters major in martial arts fighting methods, fists, feet and palm skills, and body movements. Soldiers major in martial arts and weaponry. Technique, you know the dean’s flying sword, it belongs to the martial art of war and sword control!”

"oh oh!"

Liang Xiao nodded repeatedly: "What about the general? What's the explanation?"

"The body is trained, and the outer body is trained horizontally. The vajra is indestructible and can defeat demons!"

"General is the method of commanding troops as a general. He majors in the art of war and battle formations, and devotes himself to the battlefield."

"..."

The woman's introduction finally gave Liang Xiao a general understanding of the various subjects offered at Guobei Academy.

But he was still a little undecided: "Sister, I don't know what to choose. Can you give me some advice?"

The woman glanced at him: "Just choose whichever subject you like, or whichever area you are more talented in, you can also consider it."

"this……"

Liang Xiao hesitated for a while: "Can I learn them all?"

"Can!"

The woman was not surprised when she heard this: "As long as you are willing, you can study one subject and then another, until you have completed all the subjects. Guobei Academy, there is no distinction between teaching and there are no restrictions."

"this……"

Liang Xiao was just trying it out. He didn't want to have such a result, so he became even more embarrassed. Finally, he said: "Then I want to learn the sword control method from Dean Li first."

"Can!"

The woman registered and continued to ask: "Now we have two ways to enroll. First, there is no tuition fee, but you have to take on a lot of work, work-study, and work in the academy. Second, there is a fixed tuition fee and no part of the work, but there are still Credit requirements, quantitative academy assignments must be completed each month.”

"this……"

Liang Xiao thought about it for a while: "Can I see the first requirement?"

"Can!"

The woman took out a book: "This is the content introduction. In addition, no matter how you enroll, you must leave a blood mark when enrolling. It is related to the curse. If you use it as evil after completing the course, the college will Send law enforcement disciples to get you."

"bloodstain?"

"Spell?"

Liang Xiao's eyes narrowed and he was a little at a loss.

The woman didn't care either: "It's up to you whether to accept it or not."

"this……"

"Your Majesty... Young Master, you can't do that!"

Liang Xiao hesitated and was speechless, while the groom beside him kept trying to stop him.

However, Liang Xiao gritted his teeth and nodded in agreement: "I accept."

"Um!"

The woman nodded and took out the registration page.

"Go in and take the admission assessment. After the assessment, take the certificate to register. After the admission, you will be assigned school uniforms and student slips. Especially the jade slips are proof of identity and credit records. Don't lose them, otherwise you will be in trouble." It will be difficult to move within the academy."

"Is there still an assessment?"

Liang Xiao was startled: "Isn't it true that everyone regardless of education can enter the school?"

The woman smiled: "There is no distinction between education and distinction, but before enrolling, we must know your level, and then assign you according to your actual situation. If you don't know anything, we will assign you directly to the nine main colleges. You can learn Do you know how to keep up?"

"This...I understand, thank you senior sister!"

Only then did Liang Xiao understand. Regardless of the groom's anxiety, he stood up and walked towards the assessment office.

"Master!"

The groom was shocked, but had no choice but to look at Wuhua, hoping he would say something.

However……

"Name."

"No flowers."

"Gender age."

"Male, eight out of twenty!"

"Home address?"

"I am a wandering monk with no fixed abode."

"What subjects should I apply for?"

"Liberal Arts, Agriculture!"

"Okay, let's go take the test."

Wuhua picked up the form and walked to the assessment office, leaving the groom alone, stunned.

…

A moment later, at the entrance of the Admissions Office, Liang Xiao looked at the assessment results in his hands and remained silent.

Name: Xiaoliang, affiliated to the college - the Third Primary School Affiliated to the Middle School Affiliated to Shushan University, coursework: Martial Arts and Swordsmanship!

Wuhua was beside him, also holding a copy of the assessment results.

Liang Xiao silently put away his share and showed a smile to Wuhua: "The master is knowledgeable and knowledgeable, and the Buddhist teachings are profound. I must be able to enter the nine main courtyards, right?"

"Well, the main academy of agricultural sciences!"

Wuhua nodded and said calmly: "In addition, they also hired me as a guest teacher at Jingxin Zen Academy."

Liang Xiao: "..."

In the silence, Wuhua said again: "His Royal Highness has been smart and well-read since he was a child. He was admitted to the elementary school just because he had little exposure to the practice of cultivation. The martial arts and swordsmanship department is the combination of Taoism and martial arts, and the art of flying swords, so This is the result. Your Highness, don’t worry about it. After enrolling in school, if you work hard, you will be able to enter the middle school soon, then enter the branch school, and then be promoted to the main school."

Liang Xiao: "..."

The academy system will become the main means of development in the future, so I will introduce it in more words. In addition, friends invited me to go fishing in the afternoon. Two chapters into one, updated in advance. I will come back tonight. If I still have the strength, I will try my best to write more.
