The cold fog that filled the wilderness of Beicangzhou in the early morning was dispelled by the sun rising in the air, but when the sun shone on the body, it didn't feel much warmth.

It is now close to the twelfth lunar month, and the temperature has been falling continuously. Last night, the northwest wind was blowing for a month. It made people feel cold early this morning, and it was three more minutes colder than last night. The sky was clear, but the flowing water in the moat of Aojiabao has begun to freeze. In a short while, the entire water surface may freeze into a thick piece of ice. At that time, you can ride a horse and pass directly from it without putting down the suspension bridge.

Yesterday, I had a chat with Wanyan Xie and Wanyan Alihe and had a free time talking about Wu Haogu. Now, surrounded by guards, I set out on my way to Jiehe Market. He was going back to Jiehe Market to preside over the admissions examinations and graduation examinations of Yuntai Academy and the Knights College.

Unlike the June college entrance examination that people used to later generations, the three-year "college entrance examination" time of the Northern Song Dynasty was in spring, usually in late two months.

Therefore, local trials and admission exams for various official schools are usually held in autumn and winter, and Yuntai Academy is no exception. The admission exams and graduation exams are held from the end of November to the beginning of December.

This gives students who have not passed the examination and apply for the Hontai Academy, and also gives the graduates of Hontai Academy the opportunity to take the Ministry of Rites to take the examination with the "exemption" treatment.

Of course, such arrangements are only meaningful for candidates who happen to meet the imperial examination and graduation examination. This year is exactly the year for the three-year examination, and next spring is the time for the Ministry of Rites to be held. Moreover, it is the first imperial examination competition after the Su Che version of the imperial examination reform, which is naturally very important.

Wu Haogu has changed his attitude of despising the liberal arts and imperial examinations many years ago, but has begun to pay attention to the world's most eye-catching "right way to win scholars". Therefore, as early as after the last imperial examination competition, he began to offer "inferior examination courses" in the Law School of Yuntai Academy. That is, he specially organized professors with experience in the imperial examinations to study the content of the next Left List imperial examination, and then conducted targeted training for students of the Law School.

To ensure that some of them can take the left-hand high school rankings in the next imperial examination competition.

This is an even better promotion rate than the admission rate in later generations! And it is also the most honorable civil servant who is from the left-ranking Jinshi!

With the "promotion rate", Yuntai Academy Law School can truly become the world's number one institution, thereby increasing the popularity of the entire Yuntai Academy. Only in this way can we recruit wealthy students in the world to pay high tuition and sponsorship fees... A major imperial examination competition is related to the wealth of Yuntai Academy in the next three years, and Wu Haogu cannot help but pay great attention to it!

Wanyan Xie and Wanyan Alihe also drank a few more pots of wine last night, but they are still asleep and still not getting up. Zhao Zhong, who is responsible for entertaining two Wanyan brothers, went hand in hand with Wu Haogu. It was not to send him off, but to ask Wu Haogu for some unknown things.

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

"Use? How to use it?" 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. This is called the world's Guiren."

"Yes, yes, it's help..." Brother Zhao Zhong nodded and smiled bitterly, "Then how can we help them?"

"Of course, it's helping them to restrain themselves and restore rituals!" Wu Haogu said, "No, it's not to restore rituals, but to perform Zhou rituals, enter China, and then the world can be benevolent."

"Performing the Zhou ritual?" Brother Zhao Zhong still didn't understand, "We can't do the Zhou ritual here, can they still perform the Zhou ritual?"

"We have passed the stage of performing the Zhou rituals." Wu Haogu smiled, "But their Jurchens and the Saiye Town that Yelu Dashi and others took were just enough to perform the Zhou rituals."

The so-called Zhou rituals are not about red tape. The connotation of Zhou rituals is not about etiquette, but a feudal order.

In other words, the practice of Zhou rituals means promoting feudalization! It is not the so-called "unified feudal dynasty" feudalism that later generations have been labeled as a random feudal dynasty, but the standard feudalism of the Western Zhou Dynasty, the real feudalism of the founding of states and the division of feudalism layer by layer.

This feudal system is of course outdated for the developed coastal areas of the Song Dynasty, which have begun to enter the marine colonial empire. It is not that it cannot be adopted at all, but that it cannot be implemented as a main political system.

However, for the birth of Jurchens, Suiye Town, and even for places such as Anxi, Beiting, Hexi, Shuofang, and other newly surrendered to the Song Dynasty, feudalization was still necessary, and the Song-style bureaucratic politics was not suitable for the situation there.

"If you don't have the Song system, you will perform the Zhou rituals?" Zhao Zhongge already understood a little, "Shishuai Xuan, do you want the Jurchen country to slowly become like the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period?"

"Haha," Wu Haogu smiled, "Even the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, it is stronger than the Song Dynasty a few years ago! Without us, the Song Dynasty would be worse than the Seven Heroes of the Warring States Period."

Brother Zhao Zhong is a little confused again.

Wu Haogu continued: "Our doctoral academies and markets can only gain a foothold in their territory after they performed the Zhou rituals! The academies and markets can also participate in feudalism. Do you understand, Brother Zhong, do you understand?"

The academies hosted by the Doctorate are different from those of the Yuntai Academy. The academies of the Doctorate are not universities, but semi-religious organizations. They are somewhat like temples and churches, and can completely become semi-religious and semi-feudal lords.

The market takes the European free market. The so-called free market is actually a feudal lord. They receive fiefs from the great lords, exercise autonomy, and assume certain feudal obligations, such as paying money, grain, and military forces. Some free markets become larger and become commercial republics. The current Jiehe Market, Jingdong Market, Nanxin Island Market, and Jueying Island Market are almost the same.

"So that's it," Zhao Zhongge nodded, "So where should we establish a shopping mall and academy?"

"The market must be located along the coast and along the river." Wu Haogu said, "The land of Anfu Army in Suzhou must be taken down. There is no need to give birth to a Jurchen nod. It should be the land of the court... In addition, you can also get one near the Luobin Mansion, one at the mouth of the Yalu River, one at the mouth of the Liao River, and one at the mouth of the Qiantong River, and one at the mouth of the sea wherever there is conditions."

The territory of the Bohai Kingdom is located in the former land of the Bohai Kingdom, and the core area is approximately near Vladivostok in later generations. It is a military important place! It also has certain economic value, and can obtain sea cucumbers and furs. The commercial value of the Yalu River and the Liao River estuary is even greater, second only to the Anfu Army in Suzhou.

As for the territory of Huntong Jiangkou, although it does not have much economic value, it is worthwhile to issue a point "Since ancient times".

In addition, there are many savage tribes in the Huntong River area, which are very ideal sources of mercenaries. As long as you establish a stronghold at the Huntong River mouth and have the ability to sail along the Huntong River, the energy source will continue to be at a relatively low cost. It is likely that the Jurchen savages from the backyard of the Jurchen people will be recruited from the Jurchen people to serve as soldiers!

A twelfth century marine empire had almost unlimited demand for cheap mercenaries. Because there were too many places to circle around "since ancient times".

"As for the academies," Wuhao Ancient Road, "where there is a shopping mall, there must be a school... The academies and a shopping mall can become one. In addition, the capital of the Jurchen Kingdom must also have a large academies, so that the noble children of the Jurchens can all become students of the Doctoral College.

Only in this way can the Doctorate Party gain a foothold in the Jurchens, and the Jurchens will be led to Guiren's right path."

"Shishou," Zhao Zhongge suddenly heard something from Wu Haogu's words, "Are you worried that the Jurchens will become another Khitan in the future?"

Another Khitan? Wu Haogu thought to himself: It would be great if this is the case! The Jurchens are much more fierce than the Khitans, and they do not have the eyes and vision of the Khitans.

If the Doctors cannot guide them, they have no idea of ​​the importance of controlling the Zubu Grassland! If the Zubu Grassland develops uncontrollably, it will be a disaster for all mankind.

...

"You guys, I have just received a secret message from the Hebei Xuanfu envoy Wu Haogu, and the secret envoy from the Jurchen tribes alliance, and now I have arrived in Jiehe Commercial City!"

In Chongzheng Hall, the official Zhao Ji threw out a "good news" that made the priests present frown at the beginning.

In fact, everyone knows that Jiehe and the leaders of the Jurchen tribes have always had friendships with the Wanyan tribes of the Tiger Water.

But after all, Wanyan tribe was a subordinate of the Great Liao Dynasty, and it seemed a bit inappropriate to have sex with the Great Song Dynasty!

"Also, Wu Haogu said in the secret memorial that the alliance of the Jurchen tribes could be made to pay tribute to our great Song Dynasty!" Zhao Ji then smashed another "bomb". "What do you think?"

"No!"

Prime Minister Su Che hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, our court and the Jurchens can only communicate secretly and must not accept their surrender openly. Otherwise, they will not only get into evil with the Khitan, but also the Goryeo people are enemies of our Song Dynasty. If Goryeo and Khitan are united, the land of Yanyun will never be restored."

Zhao Ji frowned deeply, and looked at the deputy prime minister Zhang Shangying again. Zhang Shangying also reported: "Your Majesty, the old minister also thinks it is inappropriate. The Jurchen tribes have always surrendered to the Khitan for more than a hundred years. If we accept their surrender rashly, it is equivalent to tearing down the Chanyuan Alliance. And we took the initiative to defeat the alliance..."
