If there is one of the quietest places in Langyuan City, it must be the high white wall located in a large area in the northeast corner of the city.
There is also a large circle of green trees inside the high wall, which are tall and strong, about two feet beyond the high wall. With their obstruction, even if you stand on the tallest tower in the city and look out, you won't be able to see much of what's going on inside the walls.
At the door is a porch decorated with white jade, with three vigorous characters carved on the stone: Jiangwuyuan.
Zhang Yanlai had heard about the name of Jiangwu Academy since the day he arrived in Huangtian Territory. The reason is that Hua Gou told him that six out of ten martial arts masters wandering on the wall were from the Wushu Academy. From that time on, Zhang Yan had many assumptions about Jiangwu Academy.
Because there is no such concept as sect in the wilderness. Most of the martial artists in the world came from martial arts schools in various countries. The remaining 30% to 40% were trained by martial arts families or by learning martial arts at home. Therefore, the Jiangwu Academy has a unique weight and status in the Huangtian Territory.
Just look at the Nanyuan Kingdom. In the more than 300 to 400 years since its founding, all five emperors have attended the Wushu Academy. Even two of the emperors, who were both warriors and had reached the Tongqiao realm, had false titles in the Martial Arts Academy.
In addition, if you really think about it, Nanyuan Kingdom's Military Academy was not established after the founding of the country. But it was inherited directly from the previous dynasty. Also inherited are a series of systems and rules from the Martial Arts Academy. Therefore, Nanyuan Kingdom's Jiangwuyuan actually existed much longer than Nanyuan Kingdom itself.
After Zhang Yan agreed to Li He's suggestion and was willing to accept Shi Xuan's recommendation to enter Jiangwu Academy as a "guest teacher", he curiously read a lot of books to learn about Jiangwu Academy. In addition to what was mentioned above, he also discovered something very interesting. That is the largest gathering and production place of warriors in Nanyuan Kingdom. It can be said to be the core place of Nanyuan Kingdom, right? But the position of president of the Wuyuan Academy was not decided by the emperor of Nanyuan Kingdom. Instead, the previous generation of dean designated the successor. The emperor could only assign one judge to Jiangwu Yuan to be responsible for daily affairs, while major matters were decided by the president.
This is interesting. Such an important core place, but the emperor of Nanyuan Kingdom did not really have it in his hands?
"The water in the martial arts academy is probably unusually deep." Zhang Yanru thought in his heart.
Today, Li He came to the gate of Langyuan City Martial Arts Academy with Zhang Yan. Since it was a recommendation, Li He, as the adjutant and confidant of the recommender Shi Xuan, naturally had to come with him. Not only to give face to the Wushu Academy, but also to help Zhang Yan calm down the scene.
"Mr. Zhang, shall we go in?" After verifying his identity with the guard at the door, Li He turned around and called out to Zhang Yan, who was looking up at the big characters on the porch.
"Okay Master Li."
Not long after entering the door, he saw an old man in black robe with a long beard walking towards him quickly. Before he could get closer, Li He calmly reminded Zhang Yan: "That person is Xiao Shu, the judge of Langyuan City Jiangwu Academy. He is from the Xiao family of Junwu."
Just two simple sentences were enough to make Zhang Yan smile and deal with it carefully.
Court ruling. That means that the person assigned here by the emperor is also from a military family, or a big family, the "Xiao family". So it seems that he should be considered half of the army? No wonder he would come out in person.
"Hahaha, Mr. Li, I haven't seen you for many years. How are you?"
"Thank you, Senior Xiao, for your concern. Li He will just hang out with the military commander. I heard that Senior has made great progress recently. I guess he is not far from a breakthrough, right?"
"It's very early! I don't know how many years it will take before we can really break through. By the way, this is the Mr. Zhang mentioned in the letter from the military commander, right?" Xiao Shu exchanged a few words with Li He and then moved towards the side. Zhang Yan handed over his hand, not intending to neglect Zhang Yan at all. You can tell at first glance that he must be a good communicator.
Li He heard the introduction and said: "Yes, Senior Xiao, this is Zhang Yan, Mr. Zhang. He is a scholar who is highly praised by the military commander!"
"Well! Marshal Shi made it very clear in his letter. Mr. Xiao Shu is really ashamed to have such achievements at such a young age! Sir, Xiao Shu is so polite here!" Xiao Shu actually turned to Zhang as he spoke. Yan bowed again, the etiquette was very formal, and it was a great gift for a peer to meet for the first time.
"The court judge doesn't have to be like this. Zhang Yan is a junior who was promoted by Commander Shi. But he is really ashamed to mention it in front of the court judge. The court judge has really disgraced Zhang Yan!"
Zhang Yan also quickly returned the gift. He was confused. Because the Judge Xiao in front of him seemed a little too formal and polite, which made him uncomfortable.
Only Li He smiled and said nothing, but he understood in his heart what Xiao Shu meant by being cautious.
Everyone who is knowledgeable in miscellaneous studies! Moreover, several useful things have been produced, and they are gradually being imitated and promoted in the military. Looking at the entire Nanyuan Kingdom, there are no such people in the martial arts academy. Now, because of Shi Xuan's relationship, the Langyuan City Military Academy was able to set this precedent. As the judge and actual contact person, Xiao Shu naturally had to take care of all aspects. When you first meet someone, be polite as much as you can. It's not strange to be polite to many people. After you understand Zhang Yan's temper, you will naturally know how to get along with him.
"The dean happened to be in retreat recently, so I can't see Mr. Zhang for the time being. However, I am responsible for daily affairs and it will not affect Mr. Zhang's employment. I will take him to go through the formalities first, and then take him to his residence to see Look, if you have any dissatisfaction, please speak up. Our Langyuan City Military Academy will definitely allow you to study here comfortably without being disturbed by trivial matters."
By saying this, it was obvious that Xiao Shu was hinting at something. It also meant to reassure Zhang Yan.
Zhang Yan is naturally a follower of good deeds. I went to complete the formalities and received four sets of robes that were similar to the black robes worn by Xiao Shu, with only some minor differences. This is what he wears in the Martial Arts Academy, considered "work clothes". In addition, I also received a lot of things, such as waist badges, standard private seals, keys to independent courtyards, etc. and a blank copper strip for a teaching report.
The first things are easy to talk about, but the blank copper strips at the back are very particular.
"Mr. Zhang can go back and think about it first, and draw up a rough outline of what he plans to teach in the academy. Then he can clearly explain the practical and theoretical uses of these things, and finally write down the assessment methods. Then we will wait. The dean will consider this, and if it is feasible, Mr. Zhang can start classes in the hospital."
"What will happen if we can't pass?" Zhang Yan asked curiously.
"Can't pass? Haha, Mr. Zhang is a master of general studies. You can pass whatever you teach. But... if you really can't pass the dean's test, you don't have to start the class. After all, Mr. Zhang The appointment is for guest teaching. It is not included in the main subject. But that would require you, sir, to share some of your knowledge or research findings with the Jiangwu Academy."
"I understand." Zhang Yan knew it in his heart.
