Similar to the debate frenzy that was launched by the Yitong Academy because of the Hundred Schools of Life, the various schools of thought in the Song Dynasty also began to prepare as the second session approached.

Liangzhe Road, Jiangxi Road, Fujian Road, Jiangnan Road, and scholars from all over the Song Dynasty compiled their works from previous years into volumes, and prepared manuscripts for debate based on this topic.

Just as this tide became more and more intense, a piece of news spread throughout the Song Dynasty like a terrifying thing.

Zhu Zi, the president of Yuelu Academy, announced in public that Yuelu Academy, Bailudong Academy and Suiyang Academy will jointly hold a debate on the theme of "Confucianism and Reason" and invite literati from all over the world to participate.

"Confucianism?"

In the reception room on the third floor of the Doctor's Building, Yao Ruoyu, Xu Xuanrong, Tang Daoyuan and Bai Junru sat on one side of the square table.

After hearing what Tang Daoyuan had just learned, Yao Ruoyu laughed and said, "What a 'Confucianism'. It seems that Zhu Zi benefited from this game and got the right to host this time!"

Bai Junru did not feel as relaxed as Yao Ruoyu, and said in a deep voice: "As one of the four contemporary Confucian representatives, Zhu Zi's Neo-Confucianism is famous all over the world, and he supports countless princes. The other party's move is clearly to compete with our Hundred Schools of Thoughts!"

Tang Dao was as deep as water, and said solemnly: "I have some friends in the Song Dynasty, so I can invite them..."

"No need," shook his head, Yao Ruoyu showed a confident smile, "Confucianism? I really don't know whether Zhu Zi and the others are crazy or idiots. Such topics have already limited the identity of the participants. If I were a Legal scholar, would I go to participate in the debate about Confucianism, or would I come here to allow hundreds of schools of thought to participate?"

Tang Daoyuan and Bai Junru were both stunned when they heard this, and after thinking about it carefully, they all smiled suddenly.

"Maybe it's limited by identity," Xu Xuanrong used a bamboo stick to insert a piece of cut flesh and smiled, "After all, he is a great Confucian scholar, and he believes that everyone in the world will obey him."

Tang Daoyuan remained silent. His status in Confucianism was second only to Zhu Zi. If Zhu Zi was arrogant, then this old man would be the same.

"So you just ignore them and continue to do our job well," Yao Ruoyu looked at Bai Junru and smiled. "There are many trends in debates in the palace these days, which is great, but it's not countable to talk on paper. In a few days, some students with excellent grades can be selected and assigned to various places for internships."

"Internship?" Bai Junru asked in surprise before he heard this word.

"It's a job!" Yao Ruoyu smiled, "To work as a minor official in various yamen, it can be considered a unity of knowledge and action. What does Lord Tang think?"

"This is a great thing." Tang Daoyuan nodded and smiled.

Bai Junru thought for a moment and realized the meaning of the internship. He immediately smiled and said, "Old minister thanked the prince for the scholar of the school."

"Since the topic of this debate has been decided, the next step is to list the participating schools. With experience from the previous session, it will be much easier to handle this time."

Then Yao Ruoyu looked at Tang Daoyuan and smiled and said, "But the work here is done well, and the publicity work cannot be relaxed. You can communicate more with Minister Song and arrange for the Senate and Qincha Mansion to spread the news of this grand event."

Unlike Song, Yuan, and others, Yao Ruoyu and others from later generations paid great attention to the word "propaganda" in governance.

The Dawen Daily, founded by Xu Xuanrong in the early years, updated the national events every day. Not only did Wenbang senior management read it every day, but some senior officials from neighboring countries would also read it one or two.

Therefore, compared to the Song Dynasty relying on Confucianism to educate the people to be loyal to the country, Dawen City-state relies more on a sense of identity to gain the loyalty of the people.

Since its rise, it has achieved invincible results, building schools to educate the people and teaching the people, and building cities to focus on people's livelihood. Through the publicity of Dawen Daily, these things have subtly enhanced the people's sense of identity with Dawen City-state.

After dealing with all kinds of matters one by one, Bai Junru and Tang Daoyuan said goodbye and left, leaving only Yao Ruoyu and Xu Xuanrong.

After a moment of quietness, Xu Xuanrong suddenly laughed and said, "Then the goal this time is set by Zhu Zi?"

"Yes," Yao Ruoyu rubbed his thumb and middle finger gently, and a bit of cold sneered from the corners of his lips. "I was thinking about which great scholar to choose. Since he emerged from his own, I would be sorry for this great scholar if I didn't choose him!"

Xu Xuanrong smiled gently.

Yao Ruoyu is a person who holds grudges, or in other words, no one of the more than 20 people in the Literature and Art Department does not hold grudges. They are not humble gentlemen who repay kindness in this era. They are their usual style of doing things for tooth.

When Confucianism helped the King of Shu to seize the Sichuan, which everyone had just captured, although Yao Ruoyu successfully obtained the help of Wang Anshi and others and dismantled the plans of the Confucian Sect and the King of Shu and others, it did not mean that they did not remember this matter in their hearts.

Before, because Wenbang was weak, Yao Ruoyu and the others dared not fight head-on with the Confucian Sect. However, now they have Sichuan and Chongqing and have combat power close to the level of the six masters and seven realms, so it is naturally time to take revenge.

Taking a sip of herbal tea, Yao Ruoyu smiled and said, "This matter is left to Kaikai to complete. You should worry more about the Baijia Forum."

"With Minister Tang and Bai Jijiu here, what kind of trouble can arise?" Xu Xuanrong smiled at him with a blank look.

"I'm afraid that the Confucian Sect will break up and make you tough. They did it back then. Grandma, I remember it," Yao Ruoyu curled his lips, "Sect Master Xi and the Five Spirits Fanyi Sword Formation will come here specially. In addition, you and Wang Liangchen, the four seven realms are enough to calm the ground."

Xu Xuanrong nodded, saw Yao Ruoyu touching his chin, and laughed: "What's wrong? Is there anything I dare not say?"

After seeing through her mind, Yao Ruoyu smirked, clenched his fist and coughed, saying, "This, I may have to go out for a while."

"Oh, how long?" Xu Xuanrong asked.

"I don't know, I plan to travel to China. Maybe I will go to every place." Yao Ruoyu replied.

Xu Xuanrong nodded first, then seemed to think of something, frowned slightly, turned his head to look at him, and saw his smile, he suddenly said, "You want to..."

Yao Ruoyu smiled and said, "It's almost the same, the theoretical deduction is almost done, but I don't know what will happen if I put it into practice."

"Okay, anyway, the overall situation here has been decided. No matter how Confucianism does, it will not cause any storm. If your theory can be realized..." Xu Xuanmeng chuckled a little from the corner of his lips, "If you turn against Confucianism in the future, you will have a killer weapon to deal with them."

"I hope there will be no that day!" Yao Ruoyu sighed softly.

"Who can say it correctly?" Xu Xuanrong smiled sweetly.

*—*—*—*—*

Sizhou is located in the southeast of Chongqing Road, bordering Jinghu North Road and Qiangui area.

The Miao and Tujia people living here for generations are fierce and extremely xenophobic, and do not interact with the outside world at all.

When this place was still under the rule of the Song Dynasty in the early years, Xu Jingmiao had no time to manage them because he had to deal with the Jin Dynasty and the Southern Barbarians, so the officials arranged for it were wisely never interfering in local affairs. He just had to wait for a certain degree of qualifications to transfer or be promoted, which could be considered as if the well water did not interfere with the river.

Of course, we thought that we could not interfere with the river, but we could not resist the Miao people without such a plan.

Earlier, Miao people often went to villages and towns near the mountain to commit crimes. They either rob things or slashed people with disagreement. When the government was about to arrest them, they patted their butts and ran back to the mountains. Local officials did not dare to offend these local tyrants, so they could only pinch their noses and pretended not to know.

However, after Wenbang occupied Chongqing Fu Road, Xu Jingmiao finally had the energy to deal with these people.

First, he transferred Qu Feng, the former governor of Fuzhou, to serve as the prefect of the prefecture, and equipped him with a thousand old soldiers who had participated in the battle against Jin. At the same time, Yao Ruoyu also specially transferred Gongsun Zhan, Yue Jun and Li Shuyi to serve as Qu Feng's guards, so as not to be assassinated by this powerless official.

When Qu Feng was still the governor of Fuzhou, he was known for his image as an iron-fisted governor. Since he took office, all the bandits and bandits in Fuzhou have been cleaned up. It is no exaggeration to say that the public security in Fuzhou was even several times better than that in Chongqing Prefecture.

Qu Feng did not disappoint Xu Jingmiao's high hopes. After only half a year after taking office, he had won over seven or eight tribes. Then he caught the Miao people robbed the city and led the officers and soldiers into the mountains and captured the Miao people from the tribe.

At that time, this incident was still very troubling. The Miao tribes, who had always been united, gathered a large number of people and killed them in a mighty manner.

As a result, when they arrived at the village and town, the more than a thousand elite soldiers who were waiting for them were Qu Feng's command led by Gongsun Zhan, Yue Jun and Li Shuyi.

Gongsun Zhan and Yue Jun have entered the sixth realm one after another. Li Shuyi’s qualifications are slightly worse, but she is also a martial artist at the level of the fifth realm. Qu Feng relies on his own way of becoming an official and can also use the power of the Dawen Kingdom to become a powerful person at the perfect level of the fifth realm. With four of them in charge, there are thousands of weakest elites with the three realm, who directly killed the Miao people into a defeat.

Since then, the local trend of Miao people rampant has disappeared. Of course, Qu Feng did not suppress the Miao people, but instead treated the Han, Miao and other tribes equally according to the Dawen policy of equality.

As of now, Qu Feng has basically taken over Sizhou, and more than 90% of the tribes have surrendered and signed an agreement with him to agree to join Dawen City-State and obey his orders.

Because of this, Qu Feng estimated that he would be transferred to the six ministries in at most a few years, and his position at the time was at least at the level of deputy minister, which was a bright future.

These things were learned by Yao Ruoyu from the shadow of Qincha Mansion along the way before he was about to enter the Sizhou territory.

After discussing with Xu Xuanrong that day, he left Yuzhou alone that night and rode along the river in a small boat. He did not deliberately control the direction, but just followed the river.

It has been three or four days since he entered Sizhou. He has visited the local scenic spots and has quietly sneaked into the mountains to inspect the tribes. Today is his last day here. After lunch, he will go to the dock to take a boat to the next stop.

The local fat intestinal rice noodles in Sizhou are very famous, but they are really spicy. Even if Yao Ruoyu had told the store in advance that it should be light, the rice noodles were still surprisingly spicy. Even if Yao Ruoyu was a powerful man in the seventh realm, he was so spicy that he was so spicy that he was so spicy that he was so spicy that he was so spicy that he was so hot that he was so hot that he was filled with tears.

After finally cleaning the whole bowl of rice noodles, Yao Ruoyu wiped his mouth, and then his expression was a little distorted and spit out a spicy heat, sighing: "Spicy and spicy are so terrible."
