After five day, Qin Mu arrives at River Tomb County, River Tomb County wants not to know many compared with him in these counties that on the road sees vividly, River Tomb County almost constructs a city in river completely, this river is not Surging River, but is Gold River, therefore River Tomb also called Gold Tomb. 五日之后,秦牧来到江陵郡,江陵郡比他在路上所见的那些县城要繁华不知多少,江陵郡几乎是完全建在江上的一座城市,这条江不是涌江,而是金江,所以江陵又叫金陵。 The Gold River flood is rapid, the appearance of the water fills the air like the sea, River Tomb County originally constructs above the oasis in endless river water, but afterward here ship came the ship toward, is even more prosperous, is very crowded, therefore the city expands, builds on a large scale. 金江大水湍急,水势弥漫如海,原本的江陵郡是建在漫漫江水中的绿洲之上,不过后来这里船来船往,愈发繁荣,很是拥挤,于是城市扩建,大兴土木。 At that time the one who held the post of River Tomb County Magistrate is now Imperial Preceptor, at that time he is talented expert, displayed the extraordinary talent, called many skilled craftsmen, innumerable Divine Ability Practitioner, laid the deep stone marker in the river, each stone marker had the hundred zhang (333 m) length, total more than 3800 stone marker. The stone marker top distance water surface also 30 zhang (3.33 m), can allow that the steamship rolls by from , can also make the big flood wind through calmly. 当时担任江陵郡府尹的正是当今的国师,那时他已经是才华横溢的强者,表现出非凡才干,召集了许多能工巧匠,无数神通者,在江上打下深深的石桩,每一根石桩都有百丈长短,共计3800余根石桩。石桩顶部距离水面还有30丈,可以容许大船从下方驶过,也可以让大洪水从容流过。 Eternal Peace Imperial Preceptor paves the way with the giant stone with these skilled craftsmen and Divine Ability Practitioner, is stable with divine ability, expands the River Tomb city, this is a vast project, thousands Divine Ability Practitioner toiled for ten years to complete the new town in this place. 延康国师与那些能工巧匠和神通者用巨石铺路,用神通稳固,扩建江陵城,这是个浩大的工程,数以万计的神通者在此地劳碌了十年才完成新城。 The below of new town has some courtyards to illuminate, when heavy rain the courtyard was used to drain water, moreover some docks construct under the city, is communicated by the hangman's rope. 新城的下面有一些天井可以照明,大雨时天井被用来排水,而且还有一些船坞是建在城下,由绞索沟通。 Near the city also has every large or small wharf, the ships of communication often here anchors, unloading cargo loading. 城边还有大大小小的码头,来往的船只往往在这里停泊,卸货装货。 Here is really lively, therefore is called Small Capital City, by then literary intelligentsia censure, was said River Tomb County Magistrate has the suspicion of plotting a rebellion, the newly-built River Tomb city has interrupted the dragon vein of empire, making the emperor put to death him. 这里实在繁华,因此又被称作小京城,被当时的士大夫非议,说江陵郡府尹有谋反的嫌疑,新建的江陵城截断了帝国的龙脉,让皇帝将其诛杀。 Also some said that River Tomb Magistrate has constructed dragon head on Gold River, conspires. 也有的说江陵府尹在金江上建了一个龙头,图谋不轨。 After Eternal Peace Imperial Preceptor completes this magnificent feat, was summoned toward Capital City, many people think that the emperor must put to death him, has not actually thought that then Crown Prince Yanfeng appreciated to it extremely. The Crown Prince Yanfeng outstanding ability and grand vision, after ascending the throne , to promote Eternal Peace Imperial Preceptor repeatedly, in a while then promotes him for Imperial Preceptor. 延康国师完成这个壮举之后,便被召往京城,许多人都以为皇帝要诛杀他,却没想到当时的延丰太子对其极为欣赏。延丰太子雄才大略,登基之后,屡屡提拔延康国师,没过多久便提拔他为国师。 Qin Mu is also listens to the boatman to mention these amusing things, does not know the genuine and fake, but the Eternal Peace Imperial Preceptor talent, entrusts with heavy responsibility with the Emperor Yanfeng judge, makes him admire to these two very much. 秦牧也是听艄公说起这些趣事,不知真假,不过延康国师才干,和延丰帝识人重用,却让他对这两人很是佩服。 What with his same boat is some River Tomb County scholars, has the impoverished scholar of family background lowly family/home, there is scholars of family background riches and honor rich and powerful family, Qin Mu inquired, these person of many were come from the River Tomb County elementary school, the university, was the same side juniors. 与他同船的是一些江陵郡的士子,有出身贫贱之家的寒士,也有出身富贵豪门的士子,秦牧打听一下,这些人多数是来自江陵郡的小学,大学,都是同门子弟。 Qin Mu is surprised, inquired that River Tomb County elementary school university, this knows reason. 秦牧惊讶,打听江陵郡的小学大学,这才知道其中缘故。 The elementary school university is Eternal Peace Imperial Preceptor supposes, has promoted the nation. 小学大学是延康国师所设,已经推广到全国。 Imperial Preceptor said to Emperor Yanfeng: „Life eight years old, from the nobility, as for the juniors of common people, all enter the elementary school, but teaching to guide, the etiquette and onset and retreat knot , the ritual music, archery and chariotingly, the book number and cultivation, builds the base. View its ability, teaches students in accordance with their aptitude, awakens Spirit Embryo, Breaking Wall divine treasure, may select the juniors to enter the university.” 国师对延丰帝说:“人生八岁,则自王公以下,至于庶人之子弟,皆入小学,而教之以导引、礼仪、进退之节,礼乐、射御、书数、修行、筑基。观其才能,因材施教,觉醒灵胎,破壁神藏,可选拔子弟而入大学。” Imperial Preceptor also said to Emperor Yanfeng: „And ten have five years, from Eldest Son of the Emperor and children, down to Duke, minister, doctor and Yuan gentleman suitable child, with pretty of common person, all enters the university, but teaching, practices self-cultivation and governs a person of say/way by divine ability, Sword Art and mind in the right way, all night ancient and modern divine ability academic. The university scholars, all are emperor disciple, does not need to attach to sect. After a considerable period of time, the trouble of sect may eliminate.” ( 1 ) 国师又对延丰帝说:“及其十有五年,则自天子之元子、众子,以至公、卿、大夫、元士之适子,与凡民之俊秀,皆入大学,而教之以神通、剑法、正心、修己、治人之道,通宵古今神通学术。大学士子,皆为天子门生,无需依附教派。天长日久,教派之患可除。”① Imperial Preceptor also said: „University graduation, may enter Taixue. Imperial Scholar, instructs for the officer for the say/way, grinds Dao Art poorly, governs the world, then all sea is peaceful, the emperor can have no more worries.” 国师又说:“大学结业,可入太学。太学士子,授业为官为将之道,穷研道法,治理天下,则四海太平,天子可以高枕无忧。” In the Qin Mu heart has endless emotion, Eternal Peace Imperial Preceptor so does scholarly research, how could isn't the country prosperous? 秦牧心中感慨不已,延康国师如此治学,国家岂能不昌盛？ The Eternal Peace Empire Sect existing space was extruded by the elementary school university, does not have the existing space, no wonder will revolt. 延康国的门派生存空间被小学大学挤压,没有生存空间,难怪会造反。 On the ship, Qin Mu takes out from the burden in «calculation canon» that the River Tomb city buys, reads carefully, at the same time writes 15 th of 10 th lunar month the solution fraction with the charcoal pen on the paper. 船上,秦牧从包袱里取出在江陵城买的《算经》,细细研读,一边用木炭笔在纸上写下元解分式。 Suddenly, physique wide fat scholars asked: „Brother Qin is also goes to Capital City to take the civil service exam?” 突然,一个体态宽胖的士子问道:“秦兄弟也是去京城赶考的吗？” Qin Mu nods, says with a smile: „Yes. I planned that goes to Capital City to wrestle a future, health/guard is the brother also takes the civil service exam?” 秦牧点头,笑道:“是。我打算去京城搏个前程,卫兄也是去赶考？” That physique wide fat scholars are called Wei Yong, nodded, says with a smile: „Was admitted to the academic honor, enters Imperial College to be well-read, is my long-cherished wish!” 那个体态宽胖的士子叫做卫墉,点了点头,笑道:“考取功名,进入太学院博览群书,是我的夙愿！” Also the scholars said with a smile: „health/guard brother, empire Imperial College is not that easily then can enter. Your age 14, are the elementary school scholars, cannot enter Imperial College!” 又有一个士子笑道:“卫兄,帝国太学院可不是那么容易便可以进的。你年纪不过14,还是小学士子,进不了太学院！” Wei Yong sneers saying: „Are university scholars then great? Also is not necessarily able to be victorious I and Brother Qin!” 卫墉冷笑道:“大学士子便了不起吗？也未必能够打得过我和秦兄弟！” Numerous scholars laugh. 众多士子哈哈大笑。 Qin Mu also shows the smiling face, is goes to Capital City to take the civil service exam with these scholars many of their same boat, wants to enter empire Imperial College. 秦牧也露出笑容,与他们同船的这些士子多数是去京城赶考,想要进入帝国太学院。 University instruction of River Tomb is Sword Art and magic technique of foundation, does not browse broadly, but Capital City Imperial College book collection 1 million, comprehensive, almost cultivation technique divine ability of various Eternal Peace Empire factions gather in this, it can be said that empire highest school! 江陵的大学传授的都是基础的剑法、法术,涉猎不广,而京城太学院藏书1000000,包罗万象,几乎延康国各门各派的功法神通都汇聚于此,可以说是帝国最高学府！ To enter Imperial College is very difficult, university scholars of land to enter breaks the head, is plans to go to the capital as for the scholars of elementary school, often is to enter there university. The elementary school scholars enter Imperial College, is more difficult, only if specially outstanding, may make an exception to employ. Every year can enter the Imperial College elementary school scholars through the inspection, few. 想要进入太学院很是困难,全国各地的大学士子为了进入其中打破头,至于小学的士子则是打算进京,往往是想要进入那里的大学。小学士子进入太学院,更加困难,除非特别出类拔萃,才有可能破格录用。每年能够通过考核进入太学院的小学士子,寥寥无几。 The boatmen operate the rudder, making the ship sail to opposite shore. 艄公掌舵,让船驶向对岸。 Qin Mu noticed that this ship used a strange pill furnace, in pill furnace to have the flame, so long as invested medicine stone, then can in the spirit strength with medicine stone promote pill furnace above gear revolving, the gear also to bring a giant ship wheel to turn the water, was similar to the waterwheel is ordinary, promoting the steamship to go forward. 秦牧留意到这艘船用了一口奇怪的丹炉,丹炉中有火焰,只要投入药石,便可以用药石中的灵力推动丹炉上方的齿轮旋转,齿轮又带着一个巨大的船轮翻水,如同水车一般,推动大船前进。 But the boatman only needs to govern the ship's rudder, the control direction then. 而艄公只需要掌管船舵,掌控方向即可。 Qin Mu expressed admiration, in Great Ruins where can see such strange thing? 秦牧啧啧称奇,大墟中哪里能见到这样稀奇古怪的东西？ In a while, the steamship drives the shore, he disembarks with many scholars, has not gone out along with the people far, arrives at the carriages and horses city. 没过多久,大船驶到岸边,他与诸多士子下船,随着众人没有走出多远,来到车马市。 Qin Mu looks, is more curious, those who see only here sale and rental is some land good boats, the speeding car, the Manchurian crane, the Land Dragon, the large ship that several been ready and waiting, braving the steaming smog, in the smog also to mix with the flame. 秦牧四下看去,更加好奇,只见这里租售的是一些陆地行舟,飞车,仙鹤,地龙,还有几艘正在整装待发的楼船,冒着腾腾的烟雾,烟雾中还夹杂着火光。 „Brother Qin, here!” “秦兄弟,这边！” Wei Yong stands under a large ship, waves to him. That ship disembarking ladder , some scholars step onto the ship. 卫墉站在一艘楼船下,向他招手。那艘船下了船梯,正有些士子走上船去。 Qin Mu walks, looks up this large ship, reveals the surprised color/look, Wei Yong is originally ripe, said with a smile: „Land good boat comparison jolts, the speeding car is too expensive, Manchurian crane Land Dragon anything's windblown and sunburnt, the large ship sits comfortably, is only the speed is slightly slower. However the Imperial College selection also early, we travel by boat to go to Capital City.” 秦牧走过去,抬头看着这艘楼船,露出惊讶之色,卫墉是个自来熟,笑道:“陆地行舟比较颠簸,飞车太贵,仙鹤地龙什么的风吹日晒,还是楼船坐着舒服,只是速度稍微慢一些。不过太学院选拔还早,咱们还是坐船前往京城。” Qin Mu say "yes", said: „Price how?” 秦牧称是,道:“价钱如何？” Wei Yong carries pot liquor, said with a smile: „You put on is also better than me, but also cares about the price? The Fox younger sister, I have bought the pot liquor for you.” 卫墉拎出一壶酒,笑道:“你穿的比我还要好,还在乎价钱？狐狸妹子,我给你买了壶酒。” Hu Ling'er is pleasantly surprised, the person stands, formally expresses one's thanks to him, then received the flagon. 狐灵儿又惊又喜,人立起来,正儿八经的向他称谢,然后接过酒壶。 Qin Mu arrived at the boatman place to pay shipping charge, needed ten great abundance coins from River Tomb to the Capital City shipping charge, poured is not expensively, after all Qin Mu these five days have been used to wastefully, were many he do not have any concept regarding the great abundance coins value, only know oneself ate meal the lodging is great abundance coins gives the opposite party, was glad to grin with ear to ear to the convenience. 秦牧来到船老大处付了船资,从江陵到京城船资需要十个大丰币,倒也算不上贵,毕竟秦牧这五天来大手大脚惯了,对于大丰币的价值到底是多少他没有任何概念,只知道自己吃饭住宿都是一枚大丰币给对方,对方便乐得合不拢嘴。 A two people of fox goes on board, in a while, this large ship then full Ke, had Apothecary and young lad starts the pill furnace of large ship, medicinal power is changed to magic power to supply to the bronze beast sculpture of stern, the big mouth of bronze beast spouts the strong flame immediately, the large ship soars slowly, transfers the direction in the midair slowly, opens the sail to drive away River Tomb, goes to the north. 二人一狐登船,没过多久,这艘楼船便已经满客,有药师与童子启动楼船的丹炉,药力被化作法力供应给船尾的青铜兽雕塑,青铜兽的大口立刻喷出浓烈的火光,楼船徐徐腾空,在半空中缓缓调转方向,张开风帆驶离江陵,向北方而去。 On the large ship, the ship guest has own room respectively, on the ship also provides the diet, so long as later several days passed on the ship can. 楼船上,船客各自有自己的房间,船上也提供饮食,之后几天只要在船上度过便可。 Qin Mu stands on the ship looks downward, sees only the large ship more to rise to be higher, the speed also gradually promotes, below River Tomb city became getting smaller, but can see that in the city has the speeding car, birds and spaceship once for a while and other strange things departs, flies to other cities, but the surface of the river embarks the ship toward, is very lively. 秦牧站在船上向下看去,只见楼船越升越高,速度也渐渐提升,下方的江陵城已经变得越来越小,不过还是可以看到城中时不时有飞车、飞禽和飞船等奇怪的东西飞出,飞向其他城市,而江面上船来船往,很是热闹。 „Eternal Peace is really the mysterious place.” “延康真是神奇之地。” In the Qin Mu heart acclaimed: „Ling Yuxiu said that Eternal Peace Dao Art divine ability changes with each new day, now looks like really so.” 秦牧心中赞叹:“灵毓秀说延康的道法神通日新月异,现在看来果然如此。” He can look, Eternal Peace Empire is applying the life Dao Art divine ability each corner, the basic necessities of life of average person in slowly was changed, this with Way of Saints that in Great Educational Heavenly Devil Scripture said is very similar. 他能够看得出来,延康国正在将道法神通应用到生活的每一个角落,普通人的衣食住行都在慢慢的被改变,这与大育天魔经中所说的圣人之道很是相似。 Way of Saints, only in common people daily expense. Eternal Peace Empire does is good. 圣人之道,只在百姓日用。延康国做得很是不错。 In his heart suddenly had the strange idea: „Is Eternal Peace Imperial Preceptor also my Heavenly Devil Cult?” 他心中突然有了奇怪的想法:“延康国师难道也是我天魔教的？” On the ship some scholars are studying skill in martial arts, the cultivation base strength is very splendid, but lets the Qin Mu surprise is, they often are practice same martial arts, magic technique and Sword Art. 船上有些士子在修习武艺,修为实力都很是出色,只是让秦牧诧异的是,他们往往都是修炼同样的武学、法术和剑法。 Qin Mu is puzzled: „practice same magic technique Sword Art, is this very easy then to be held the flaw?” 秦牧不解:“修炼同样的法术剑法,这岂不是很容易便被人抓住破绽？” In his opinion, although Martial Practitioner is laying the foundation Realm, but learned is also the foundation, most scholars practice is the same martial arts, same gate magic technique, same Sword Art, this was caught the flaw by others very much easily. 在他看来,武者虽是打基础的境界,但是博学也是基础,大多数士子修炼的都是同一种武学,同一门法术,同一种剑法,这样的话很容易被别人抓到破绽。 „Such Martial Practitioner, my hand can hit ten.” Qin Mu shakes the head secretly , to continue to read «calculation canon», Eternal Peace Empire printing «calculation canon» altogether has ten volume, he has read off, but Yuan resolving on paper he also reorganized much. “这样的武者,我一只手能打十个。”秦牧暗暗摇头,继续研读《算经》,延康国印刷的《算经》共有十册,他已经读完,而纸上的元解算式他也整理了不少。 Arrived the night, Qin Mu arrived at the deck from room, raises head the starlike image of observation space, then uses the Yuan resolving inferential reasoning, records the computation on the paper. 到了夜晚,秦牧从房中来到甲板,仰头观察天上的星象,然后用元解算式推导,又在纸上记录计算。 The large ship fluttered good for four days, has gradually edged from Capital City, the scholars on ship mostly were first time go to Capital City, was difficult to cover the excitement in heart, lay near the gunwale in abundance looks around outward. Suddenly, the fierce shake transmits, the large ship from the sky inclines, several scholars have not grasped steadily, drops from the ship. 楼船飘行了四天,距离京城渐渐近了,船上的士子大多是第一次去京城,难掩心中的激动,纷纷趴在船帮边向外张望。突然,剧烈的震荡传来,楼船在空中倾斜,几个士子没有抓稳,从船上跌落下去。 These people divine ability that does not have practice to fly, sends out the long pitiful yell, the cry for a very long time, the large ship flies too high, they must fall down after a period of time. 这几人没有修炼飞行的神通,发出长长的惨叫,叫声久久不息,楼船飞得太高,他们还要过一段时间才会坠地。 Qin Mu knits the brows, the both legs are similar to two spears/guns sew on the ship, carries is drinking drunken Hu Ling'er, holds same drinks drunken Wei Yong, so as to avoid they were flung to disembark. 秦牧皱眉,双腿如同两杆枪钉在船上,一手拎着喝得醉醺醺的狐灵儿,一手抓住同样喝得醉醺醺的卫墉,免得他们被甩下船去。 In this time, haha the big laughter from outboard transmits, the big mouth of python wide open arrange/cloth barb is hard to imagine, bites the stern, is making an effort to tear! 就在此时,哈哈的大笑声从船外传来,一条难以想象的巨蟒张开满布倒钩的大嘴,咬住船尾,正在用力撕扯！ On ship in people heart one startled, the stern had been cut by biting by that python. Stands drops in abundance from the ship in stern nearby scholars, several scholars were gobbled up by the python! 船上众人心中一惊,船尾已经被那条巨蟒咬断。站在船尾附近的士子纷纷从船上跌落下去,还有几个士子则被巨蟒吞吃！ On the flat head of that python is also standing a person, wears the flowered robe, puts on the rouge to powder the face, is very beautiful, but is actually an enchanting man, is looking on the ship excitedly the flurried people. 那条巨蟒的扁平的脑袋上还站着一人,身着花袍,涂胭脂抹粉,很是妖艳,但却是个妖娆男子,正在兴奋的看着船上慌乱的众人。 Note ( 1 ): These words quoted Song Zhu Xi's words, Pig Nerd reorganize slightly.
