Guide Prefecture is an important town in Hezhou, Wu Kingdom, which controls the important gateway of the Yellow River Wharf. Hezhou is adjacent to Jianzhou, but most of the areas are along the entire Yellow River, so it is named Hezhou. There are many plains in the prefecture and agriculture is relatively developed. In addition, the Yellow River flows through its territory, and trade and fishery are also good. The overall economy is of the upper and middle level in Wu Kingdom.

However, in contrast, Hezhou's trend of commerce is relatively strong, which has led to the fact that the students in the state have made much worse in their ideological achievements. Most of them are Confucian businessmen, and they rarely concentrate on their thoughts and academics. Therefore, Hezhou is also the worst state in the entire Wu Kingdom, among the national examinations and imperial examinations every year.

Guide Prefecture is the worst in Hezhou. Because it directly manages the Yellow River Ferry, most of the merchants who come and go use it as a transit point, and commercial trade is particularly developed. Merchants from other countries often arrive here through the Yellow River waterway. The resulting trade trend makes it difficult for local students to calm down and study hard. Simply put, it is too utilitarian.

Today, it happened to be a poetry meeting in which scholars and juren competed with literary talent in Guide Prefecture. When the gentlemen of the Prefecture were worried about what to use, suddenly the prefect of Guide Prefecture Huang Hezhang hurried to Fang Zhengye, the Grand Secretary of the Prefecture, for help.

"Fangyuan Head!Fangyuan Head... Our mansion has to come again today to trouble you!"

Although Huang Hezhang, the prefect of Guide Prefecture, was also a literary position as a Grand Secretary, he did not have the qualifications of Fang Zhengye after all. Fang Zhengxin, the grand tutor of this dynasty, and was an authentic Legal Confucian scholar.

"What happened? Huang Magistrate. Why should you be so polite? But today our court is preparing a poetry meeting for the students. If things are not urgent, can you postpone it?"

Fang Zhengye is actually a child who is not doing his job properly in the Fang family. He has been uninterested in the formulation of legal decrees since childhood. Instead, he hopes to combine the teachings of the Legalists and Confucians, and realize his Dharma by opening academies and teaching the Legalists' spirit of the rule of law.

This is the difference in understanding and practice of the same type of Tao. The same spiritual thoughts of the rule of law, in the view of Taifu Fang Zhengxin, the path he wanted to follow was to hold an official position in the Wu Kingdom, master the laws, implement the rule of law, and formulate various laws to make the people abide by the law. This was his purpose.

However, Fang Zhengye does not think so. The "law" he understands is law and discipline. The way he wants to follow is not to maintain law and discipline, but to promote legal awareness. Simply put, Fang Zhengxin's "law enforcement thought", while Fang Zhengye wants to do the "law universal spirit".

It is also the law of law, and law enforcement is to maintain laws and regulate the behavior of the people through existing laws. It will naturally be simpler and more efficient. It is exactly what every country in Tianren Continent is doing now, but relatively speaking, the "legal universal spirit" that Fang Zhengye wants to pursue is thousands of times more difficult. The literacy rate of the people in Tianren Continent is less than one-tenth, let alone popularizing the law to them.

The popularization of law here is not simply to let the people not kill or commit murders. Instead, to let the people realize in-depth what the "law" is. It is not just a rigid dogma, but a great tool that can protect the lives and property of the people.

Not to mention the people of Tianren Continent at this time, even on the earth of later generations, how many people in China can truly understand the law? They can abide by the laws on weekdays and not commit crimes that hurt others and themselves. However, it is very difficult to truly understand and know the law and how to use the law to safeguard their rights and interests. It is very difficult to live in this society with dignity.

This is also why the social status of lawyers is so high in countries such as the United States on Earth. This is the value of the law, and it is also the important significance of publicizing the law. If every citizen deeply understands the law and knows to use the law to protect their rights and interests, then the risks and difficulties of criminals when committing crimes will be more than ten times higher, which is also the great significance of publicizing the law if it is implemented.

It is precisely because of the difficulty of popularizing the law that Fang Zhengye's literary skills have been very difficult to improve. Now his ability is very limited. For those ordinary people who don't even know the big words, he has no way to explain to them how to use the law to protect their rights and interests.

Therefore, Fang Zhengye can only choose to teach these scholars and juren in the palace to pass on the idea of ​​Dharma.

"Poetry meeting? Haha! Just right, just right! The head of the Fangyuan, our residence came for this matter. For some reason, the late spring cold occurred on the banks of the Yellow River from yesterday. Early this morning, the water surface of the Yellow River, which had just melted for a while, was frozen again."

The prefect Huang Hezhang was overjoyed when he heard this and hurriedly said, "I came to the palace and invited the students from Fangyuanshou and the government to come to the Yellow River Wharf to have an ice-breaking poetry meeting. Use ice-breaking and thawing poems to break the ice-breaking surface of the Yellow River!"

"Oh? Icebreaking Poetry Club? Great Good! Great Good! Huang Magistrate, you are here just right. The gentlemen in our court are worried about what to use as the theme of the poetry club! In this way, killing two birds with one stone, they will use Icebreaking as the theme of the poetry club. I will invite the gentlemen and students to the Yellow River Wharf!"

The head of the court, who was originally worried about the theme of the poetry meeting, was immediately overjoyed when he heard this. The two hit it off and then brought the fifty-three juren and more than a hundred scholars from the court to the Yellow River wharf in a mighty manner.

The merchants who were anxiously waiting for the ice to melt on the bank of the Yellow River, naturally shouted excitedly when they saw the prefect of Guide Prefecture Huang Hezhang, the head of the prefecture, bringing Fang Zhengye and a large group of the prefecture students.

"That's great! Now, it seems that there is no problem in breaking the ice surface of the Yellow River."

"Yes! I believe that today I can see another huge ice-breaking poetry meeting. The last time seemed to have happened two years ago! At that time, a caravan was in a hurry to cross the river, so the prefect of Guide Prefecture invited the students from the prefecture. They were also thick river ice, but under the ice-breaking and thawing poems of more than 100 students and gentlemen, it shattered and broke. After the river water melted, the channel was immediately unobstructed..."

"I originally thought that after the genius Su Lin came, he could see his poems in the country. Unexpectedly, when the students from Guide Prefecture came, I'm afraid... there would be a struggle for poetry!"

...

The merchants naturally started to talk, and Su Lin and Ye Hongye also turned their eyes. Su Lin looked at the students of Guide Mansion, nodded, and said to Ye Hongye beside him: "Old Ye! It seems that we don't need to take action this time. Since these students of the government office come to hold the ice-breaking poetry meeting, we will wait to cross the river."

"Hey! Prince, didn't you just say you wanted to write an icebreaker poem? I remember that after the prince's examination, he didn't write a poem anymore? Why not take this opportunity to show off his skills? There are so many merchants on the shore now. If Prince wrote the icebreaker poem on the spot, he would definitely spread your talent all over the country!"

Grand Secretary Ye Hongye said with a smile, fearing that the world will not be messed up, but Su Lin glared at him and said with a smile: "Old Ye, you think that my enemies are not enough! Is my name not enough? Although I don't write many poems, every time I write a poem, I have to attract a lot of hatred!"

"The debt is too much to suppress you! Prince, anyway, you have offended the great families of the current dynasty, the Zhao family, the Ran family and the Xiang family. Are you still afraid of these little shrimps? Moreover, with the poems written by these little shrimps, at most, from Dafu and Mingzhou, how can you break through the river dozens of miles? In the end, you are going to take action by the prince?"

Ye Hongye is now eager to see Su Lin write poems, because Su Lin basically writes poems in the country. If he can observe them on the spot and experience them carefully, he will gain great results.

"Good it off! Lao Ye, you see that the prefect and the capital of the court are coming. It is obvious that they have to look at the performance of the students in their court. If I write the ice-breaking and thawing poems about the country, wouldn't it be slap the entire college students in the face? Those students may not care, but the head and prefect of the court of the court should not offend them! Besides, there are only one poem about leaving the county, each of which only writes a poem about leaving the county, and its power is enough to shake the surface of the Yellow River, which is more than ten kilometers wide. What's more, there are several grand clerks and prefects with a Grand Secretary’s Literature! We don't have to worry about the ice-breaking matter! Just be as a viewer to watch the excitement..."

Su Lin waved his hand, pulled Ye Hongye and hid among the merchants and watched the fun. He didn't plan to stand up now, not because he was afraid of offending others, but now there was no need to stand up and write poems in front of so many students in the government. This is a thankless thing. Su Lin and these students in the Guide Mansion have no grudges and no hatred, so there is no need to be so unlucky with others.

If it wasn't possible to break the ice and cross the river before, Su Lin would have to go there by himself without anyone else. But now, a student from a courthouse has the experience of breaking the ice, Su Lin naturally would not force himself. On the contrary, he wanted to carefully observe and observe what kind of poems are there to be considered as ice-breaking and thawing poems. (To be continued...)
