  Chapter 60 County Magistrate Inspection (Part 2)

   Not long after, I saw a group of people walking in from outside the school. Walking in the front was Jiang Dao, the magistrate of Tangyin County, nicknamed Jiang Dadao. He had a square face with Chinese characters, eyebrows as rough as a brush, and dark skin.

Although Jiang Dadao is of medium stature, his shoulders are wide and his back is thick, and he is very majestic. If he wears armor, he may have a bit of momentum, but he wears a civil service uniform, which is really nondescript. In addition, he likes to dance when he walks, which is similar to the elegance of the former county magistrate. The temperament is too far away.

Jiang Zhixian was followed by the county lieutenant, Xuezheng, Du Baozheng, etc., surrounded him like stars holding the moon. Li Daguang followed the magistrate as the leader of the school. He was so tall that he had to bend over and kneel down. He is tall, with a flattering smile on his face, and he speaks flattering words, which makes Jiang Zhixian laugh straight away, and praise Li Daguang from time to time, which makes Li Daguang even more elated and his eyes shine.

   "Why does this county magistrate look like a big horse monkey?" Some student said something, which attracted the students to snicker.

  Yao Ding gave the students a stern look, causing everyone to lower their heads in fright.

  Yao Ding stood beside the team with a dark face, motionless, and did not go up to greet the magistrate Jiang, but watched the magistrate enter the school coldly.

  Although Li Daguang was satisfied that Yao Ding gave him the chance to please the county magistrate, Yao Ding was the real master of Lushan Academy after all. Without Yao Ding, Lushan Academy might not be able to support it.

  He quickly waved to Yao Ding, "Master Yao, I have something to ask!"

  Yao Ding walked forward slowly, bowed and saluted, "Yao Ding sees Jiangzhi County!"

   This magistrate of Jiang County looks like a rough man, but judging from the annihilation of the whole army in Tangyin County's Fajie Examination last year, Yao Ding knew how small-minded this county magistrate is.

  So when Li Daguang proposed the absurd plan that all the students wear weapons to meet the magistrate, Yao Ding did not object.

   "I have heard about Master Yao's name for a long time, and this county is also looking forward to seeing it. Master Yao is indeed doing a good job. Lushan Academy is quite prosperous!"

   Lushan Academy has a large number of people, the team is neat, and everyone wears swords. This is prosperous in the eyes of Jiang Zhixian. Yao Ding sighed in his heart, so he reluctantly said: "Jiang Zhixian has won the prize!"

   "Not bad! Not bad! The school is also well built, but..."

  Jiang Zhixian looked at the playground, and frowned slightly, "It seems that the school ground is too small, how do you usually train martial arts?"

  Li Daguang said hastily: "We are pulling out to the temple for training, where it is relatively wide and can be used for a battlefield."

  Jiang Zhixian heard that he actually said to open the battlefield, and immediately grinned, and patted Li Daguang's shoulder heavily, "You are very good at talking! But this county likes it."

  Li Daguang quickly smiled flatteringly and said, "Should I give Jiang Xianggong a drill now?"

In the team, Wang Gui made a nauseous and vomiting movement, while Tang Huai slapped his nose, as if the smell was too stinky. Indeed, Li Daguang's flattery was too blatant, and he actually called the magistrate Xianggong, which is a special title for prime ministers and first-level officials. It's too much to call a high official, let alone a gentleman.

  Li Yanqing also frowned. He didn't expect Fourth Uncle to be such a person. He couldn't usually see it, but he was fully exposed in front of the county magistrate.

   County magistrate Jiang was very pleased with what he heard. He waved his hand, "Practice another day! The county will go to several other townships today to inspect. Where are the students who are going to take the county exam this year? Pull them out for the county to see."

  Yao Ding suddenly understood that the magistrate Jiang came to inspect the townships this time, probably for the school, and other townships as well. It seems that this person plans to force his way from this year.

Yao Ding beckoned, more than 20 students came out of the team and lined up in a row. Jiang Zhixian stepped forward and said with a smile: "You are all the talents of our Song Dynasty! Taiwei Tong often said that scholars should If you can enter the court, you will also be able to go to the battlefield. In the capital, I saw those scholars who were rushing for the exam were not working hard, and they didn't know the grain. They only drank and ate.

So the county decided to start with children, study poetry and books diligently, and practice martial arts hard, so that every student can be strong in martial arts and stable in literature. Therefore, the county will announce two things. This year's county exam will increase the number of martial arts Weight, as long as you pass the martial arts exam, it doesn't matter if you miss the academic exam. "

After he said this, the faces of several students who were preparing for the exam turned pale. They were not physically fit, so they hoped to get a little more points in the exam, but now it's the other way around. There are still nine days before the county exam. Is there still time to practice martial arts? ?

Jiang Zhixian raised his voice again and shouted: "The second thing is about the boy's association. The boy's association can be written or martial. It used to be literary, but now it is martial arts. From now on, the county will hold a boy's martial arts meeting every April. Each school will come to two Ten people, I have something to say first, if you don’t participate in the Boys’ Association, you are not eligible to take the county exam, and if you don’t go to the county school to study, no matter whether you want to take the imperial examination or go to the state school to study, it is absolutely impossible! "

  The county magistrate had to rush to other township schools, and hurried away after a lecture. The students went back to their classrooms, noisy and lively.

  Even the students in Baihutang didn't care about studying, and got together to talk about the murderous words of the magistrate just now.

   "This is a challenge to all schools!"

Wang Gui waved his arms excitedly and shouted: "In the past, everyone boycotted the Boys' Martial Arts Association. In the end, the Boys' Association was forced to cancel. Then last year, the county student members failed to pass the exam. Now the Boys' Association has to be linked with the county school exam again. Jiang Dadaotie I am determined to turn Tangyin County into a county of military equipment, and if this continues, there will be no more scholars in Tangyin County in ten years."

Everyone responded to Wang Gui and knocked on the table loudly. Yue Fei frowned, and said to Li Yanqing who was standing by the wall: "Actually, I think what Jiang Zhixian said makes sense. If martial arts can rule the country, this is the pursuit of a real man. He enforces martial arts, which is actually good for the students. When the Jurchen barbarians come to kill them in the future, they will be able to resist and protect themselves."

  Yue Fei never forgot what Li Yanqing said back then, Jurchen barbarians like tigers and wolves began to rise in the Northeast.

Li Yanqing folded his arms in front of his chest and leaned lazily against the wall. He looked at Wang Gui and said indifferently: "This matter has to be divided into two parts. Although the magistrate's approach is conducive to allowing students to practice literature and martial arts, civil and martial arts Both are perfect, but his original intention is to get promoted, like his predecessor, to use force to create new ideas, I am very worried about the outbreak of war, Tangyin County must be the county with the most ruthless conscription, and the county school students are inevitable."

   "Would that be the case?"

"Will!"

Li Yanqing said sharply: "Didn't you hear that? What did he call the scholars who came to Beijing to rush for the exam? In his bones, he looked down on scholars. In his opinion, we students are just a reserve force. This is the root cause of everyone practicing martial arts."

  Yue Fei was silent, he had to admit that Li Yanqing saw things more thoroughly than himself.

  At this time, Li Er came forward with a sad face and said: "Brother Qing, what should I do? My martial arts skills are not good, I'm afraid I won't be admitted to the county school."

  Li Yanqing comforted him and said: "It doesn't matter if you are good at martial arts, as long as your father is good."

   "Why?" Li Er didn't respond.

  Li Yanqing patted his chest with the back of his hand, and said with a smile: "The son of Du Baozheng won't be able to go to the county school yet, and it would be embarrassing to spread it out, so you don't have to worry at all, your father is more anxious than you!"

Li Er finally understood and left happily. Yue Fei also smiled contentedly. He remembered something and said to Li Yanqing: "Master let us have a look at the previous test questions. I want to find time to go there in the next two days." County bookstore, let's go together!"

  Li Yanqing nodded, "I happen to be going to the bookstore too, so tomorrow!"

  Yue Fei glanced at Wang Gui who was giving a generous speech, and asked with a smile, "Do you think they will go?"

  Looking at Wang Gui and Tang Huai, Li Yanqing shook his head and said with a smile, "Even if we run to the county this time, we will never get rid of them."

   Zhou Lao Gao asks everyone for votes!
