Looking at the sand and the low rammed earth walls, although there were crowds of people, people in various costumes, either leading camels or walking, calling each other in various languages.

The Confucian scholars... felt exhausted at this time.

Even though they traveled through many obstacles, even when they passed through the desert and grassland, although it was hard, they were still full of hope.

In their opinion, this place must be a wealthy place, but now...

There are no trains, not even exquisite cars and horses, and no comfortable tiles. There is no desolate place and nothing.

What you eat is a hard cake. If you take a bite, it is like a stone, and it is even water you drink... it is not cooked.

The local Kasha seemed to be ordered to entertain them, but there were too many Confucian scholars here. Although they were given food, they might not have a big banquet. Therefore, many Confucian scholars felt that their teeth were about to be knocked.

There was no tea here, so I had to drink the cold well water.

At this time, they were unkempt and looked like beggars.

It didn't take long for them to miss the days of the Ming Dynasty, all kinds of meals. Oh, if they could taste the soft rice, even if it was not fine rice, but brown rice, then... they wouldn't know how fragrant it would be.

They were sent to the local Tongwenguan.

There are hundreds of children enrolled here in Tongwenguan. They think they are all children from wealthy local families. They are babbling and learning Chinese. The teacher who teaches people is an old Confucian scholar. I heard that someone is coming again, but I don’t seem very enthusiastic.

At first, when he saw people from his hometown coming, he was particularly kind, caring and caring. But gradually, he realized something was wrong. Why did so many people come, in groups of three or three, and there were people every now and then. As many Confucian scholars came, he would not care about it.

For example, in this Tongwenguan, he was the only one who taught. Although it was hard work, he was very respected.

When the second, third, and fourth and fifth people came slowly, it was inevitable that there was a feeling of sleeping soundly under the bed.

But he couldn't say these words.

The new Confucian scholar was looking for this gentleman to find out the news.

Not long ago, Kasha of Egypt was dissatisfied with the Ottoman Emperor and believed that the emperor was dissatisfied with tradition, so he launched an army to rebel.

When many people heard this, they all took a breath.

But it was also heard that the Ottoman Emperor mobilized imperial guards from Serbia, Greece and Bulgaria, and quickly calmed down his judgment, and cut off the head of Egypt, crushing his body and extinguishing it ashes.

Immediately, the emperor issued a new decree to continue to promote Confucianism. Anyone who opposed it would be punished for his crime of treason. The emperor personally convened a lecture and ordered Confucian scholars to teach him.

Even more than 100 Jinshi were selected for the new imperial examination, including more than 80 Han Confucian scholars.

In Ankara, a Confucian scholar Chen Tong was named Ankara Kasha.

At first, there were many complaints, but soon the Serbs, as well as Bulgarians and Romanians, were willing to accept Confucianism.

When this gentleman talked about the Ottoman situation, he could do it casually.

As a scholar, there is still a view of the overall situation.

He continued: "These sub-men, like us Han people, are a minority. Most of them were conquered by the empire, and therefore, they were obeyed. For them, rather than being bullied by the emperors' own tribes, they would rather support our unification. Only by unification, regardless of the Han and Yi, would they have a foothold. In addition, Emperor Suleiman's civil and military achievements, even those who disobey, had to obey the surface.

This has given many Confucian scholars some confidence.

They will now continue their journey to Ankara, where they will display their talents.

The only drawback is that most of the servants who accompanied him had already escaped, and even the Book Children had fled a lot. It would be fine if there were no servants, but if there were no Book Children, it was a matter of falling from the sky.

Therefore, some Confucian scholars began to look for local Kasha and asked Kasha to give some book children to them.

…………

Two months have passed in a blink of an eye and the weather has become colder.

Zhou Tanzhi's pig farming workshop has begun to be built.

He had a group of right-hand men and began to cultivate a group of backbones, and slowly began to introduce pigs.

All pigs have been carefully selected, because breeding of pigs is also a huge problem.

Those strong pigs were retained, and as breeding pigs, they were just pitiful to those who were not strong enough, or were not lazy enough, and refused to lie down and slept after eating, and even humming loudly, they were sent to castrate.

This is a process of elimination. Only pigs who are the lazy, greedy, the least able to think, and the most unrestrained can leave their descendants behind. Anyone who has a little idea and is more diligent will have to lose their descendants.

This process is very bloody.

Fang Jifan didn't care much about these external news. The weather has been particularly cold recently. On such days, Fang Jifan slept until the sun was noon.

As a disciple of Fang Jifan and his current grandson, Zhu Zaimo is already an adult, at the age of seventeen. He is very tall and very strong. More than ten years of hard work have given him a little more unique temperament.

This child has different urination. He is always taciturn, but he is never shy about interacting with others. He is better at listening and rarely expresses his opinions.

The weather has been cold recently, but he cannot sleep in as freely as Fang Jifan. He went to the Empress Dowager and Empress Zhang to greet him early in the morning, and then he needed to greet Emperor Hongzhi. If he had time, he would come to the west to pay homage to his mentor.

Fang Jifan was always particularly happy every time he heard that the emperor’s grandson came.

Fang Jifan was very pleased that the emperor's grandson and his father were not very close, but they were so kind to him.

Today, Zhu Zaimo came to Fang Mansion again. In the reception room, Zhu Zaimo met Fang Jifan.

As the crown prince, Fang Jifan must bow to him: "Your Highness."

Zhu Zaimo turned his body slightly and said that he did not dare to accept it, and then gave a tribute to Fang Jifan.

Immediately, Zhu Zaimo sat down.

Fang Jifan sat down together, and then sighed: "Zaimo, why do you always come to be your teacher? This is not good. After all, there are some ways to come to this Western Mountain. I am afraid that you will work hard."

Zhu Zaimo only pursed his lips and chuckled, looking very gentle, and then said gently: "Mr., this is due, this is loyalty and filial piety. My teacher created a new learning..."

Fang Jifan waved his hand and said, "It's not created by the teacher. No matter what happened to you, you have to pour water on your teacher. It was created by your senior brother Wang Bo'an. What you hate most is to take the merits of heaven for yourself. If you are such a teacher, then are you worthy of being a human being?"

Zhu Zhu Zaimo smiled gently, and did not refute, but continued: "In the new study, although there is a new interpretation of the ways of Confucius and Mencius, only the heaven, earth, kingdom, and parents, in the eyes of students, cannot be abandoned. This is loyalty and righteousness, and the fundamental difference between the Ming Dynasty and the barbarians. Students are taught by their mentors, and how can they forget this great kindness and virtue? I am Huang Sun, so I should be a model for the people of the world, so that you can let the people of the world know what the court advocates and what they abandon, so that the so-called upward and downward effect. If it is a good thing, even people like students are unwilling to persist, how can you urge the people of the world to learn? Mentor, have you been feeling unwell recently? Recently, you have always been late, and at noon, and you haven't gotten up."

Fang Jifan began to hesitate and then smiled, "Ah...this is...probably, I always feel that my head hurts occasionally. If I don't talk about these, what books have you read recently?"

"I read Senior Brother Xu's masterpiece."

"Which Senior Brother Xu?"

"Xu Jing."

"Oh." Fang Jifan immediately cheered up: "This guy Xu Jing is in the Golden Continent. He has been in the past half of his life and has been unable to spend a few days with his teacher. Whenever he thinks of him, his teacher is so sad. When he thinks of others outside, he feels unable to eat and sleep well. What have you learned from his books?"

"It is mostly his experiences and knowledge of going out to sea, as well as many mountains, rivers and geography. Only after reading Senior Brother Xu's book can we know how big the world is and how small the people are. But it is precisely because of this that we can inspire people's competitive spirit. A real man cannot just look in front of him, but he must look at the world. This place in the world is where a real man makes great achievements. Otherwise, he will only stick to the small cave heaven and be good at the hands of a woman in the deep boudoir, and will live for a lifetime."

Fang Jifan nodded repeatedly: "Zaimo inherited the excellent character of being a teacher. Yes, you are right. Men are determined to be in all directions."

"The students also saw the situation about Luzon. The Spanish were near the Ming Dynasty and controlled by the largest island, Luzon. This Luzon state has paid tribute to our Celestial Empire since the Tang and Song dynasties. It was not until it was invaded by the Spanish. Many of our Ming dynasties were stopped. The students were at the bottom and could not allow others to sleep soundly under the bed. The Spanish repeatedly made rebellious rebellions against our Ming Dynasty. How could we keep them in this Luzon? The Luzons have suffered from the Spanish for a long time... If someone could take the opportunity to go to Luzon, they would negotiate with them on the surface, secretly contact the righteous men, and then form a navy. Luzon could be in charge of the hands of our Ming Dynasty."
