Chapter 230: Running a school is more important than money
"It will not cost less to set up a volunteer school for the children of poor families, and the impact will be too great, has the old master considered it?" Zhou Dingcheng asked in a deep voice.
"Of course, I thought about it, but I had all kinds of concerns, so I never did it, and I originally wanted to set up a college to recruit talents, so that these talents could help me fulfill this wish, but unfortunately most of these people were keen on fame and fortune, and they couldn't jump out of their own small circle. Now, let's come forward, at least we can get started. Chen Musa said indifferently.
Besides, I was slightly stunned, could there be hidden worries and troubles in the establishment of a voluntary school? Isn't this a good thing that everyone in the world is happy about?
Zhou Dingcheng glanced at him and said with a smile, "This matter is not as simple as you think, no one will say anything if you are engaged in righteousness in that remote mountain town, and they will praise you for your righteous deeds, but there will be many troubles waiting for you in Suzhou." ”
Besides, he looked at him dumbfounded, and then looked at Chen Musa, not understanding why he caused a lot of trouble.
"Everyone understands what Brother Ding Cheng means, the first government does not like the registered officials or squires to do things that are too out of line, which will compete with the government for fame, that is, with the court. You worship Su Dongpo, you should know that the Wutai poetry case is because Dongpo is too famous, and he has already competed with the imperial court for fame, of course the imperial court can't allow it, and Emperor Shenzong wants to use this case to beat him. As for some traitors and villains in Yushitai who want to use this to frame Dongpo, it's another matter. After a pause, Chen Musa explained:
"Dongpo was unharmed because Emperor Shenzong had no intention of putting him to death. At that time, the people involved in this matter did not understand the origin of the matter, and in the end, it was Dongpo's younger brother Su Zhe Su Cigong who understood it and tried hard to persuade his brother. Dongpo's fame is not only his greatest wealth, but also the source of his life's ups and downs. ”
Besides, he smiled and said: "I was worried about this, there is no need, even if I ride a black horse and a red rabbit horse, I can't catch up with the shadow of Dongpo." ”
Now I am worried about how to keep Zhu Yunming's reputation, compared with Dongpo, I am completely a person in the two worlds of the Upper Nine Heavens and the Lower Nine Heavens.
"This is just a generalization, and it certainly doesn't refer to you. I said that you came to do this, there is a reason in it, guess what?" Chen Musa asked with a smile.
"Oh, I know, the teacher is because I'm also a protégé of Master Lian, so I won't attract the eyes of the government if I come to do it. "And when you think about it, you understand.
"Exactly. If you do this, are you going to meet Master Lian tomorrow?"
"Of course, I was going to see you tomorrow, but since you're here, the students have saved a trip. Besides, he said with some embarrassment.
It is really rude to let the teacher take the initiative to see himself, especially since Chen Musa is a person in science, and the most important thing is to be polite.
"You don't have to worry about me, I don't treat you like other disciples. "Chen Musa: Yes, it is really informal.
"Yes, like a son, I don't think you will be like this to the little prince. His father isn't here, and there's no one to take care of him, so you can just let him pass on to you as a son. Pomegranate suddenly spoke, and there was a sour taste in her words.
Everyone laughed secretly, this Miss Pomegranate is too, how can she eat the vinegar for no reason.
For the performance of pomegranates, only two Yahuan know the internal causes, and in the days of disappearance, what Chen Musha thinks about and thinks in his dreams all involve besides, he can't say a few words during the day, he has to sigh and don't know where he is, what is the situation, etc. Pomegranate, who has always been the protagonist of the family, has heard a lot, and naturally she can't help but be jealous, and she likes it too, but being dominated by such a noisy guest, she naturally has resentment in her heart.
Chen Musa said angrily to her: "If he is willing to do it, of course I am very happy." ”
Everyone laughed, only laughing awkwardly, not crying, not knowing what expression to show.
A maid smiled and said: "Miss, you are the same, I am not worse than the master." ”
Pomegranate Jun blushed and said: "Eat your meal, no one will sell you as a dumb person if you don't speak." ”
Everyone laughed again, but Zhou Dingcheng was secretly surprised in his heart: he didn't know why Chen Musa valued him so much, besides, the time after entering his door was still short, it was impossible for him to attach so much importance to it, could it be that Chen Musa had a deep understanding of the details of the situation?
Moreover, there is a great secret hidden in his life, far greater than the hidden treasure in the middle of nowhere. As for what it was, he didn't know. It is said that only one or two people at the top of the Qinwang faction knew about it. His status in the rivers and lakes is not low, but he actually belongs to the bottom in the Qinwang faction, and he is basically a thug.
This time, the Qinwang faction can be said to have done its best for the sake of the matter, and even he felt shocked when he looked at this battle, and felt that there must be a mystery in it. He and Murong Yanran are just one of the way, and they are also top soldiers, and a large number of people have not had time to rush to Fengyang, and the matter is over.
After a while, Chen Musa continued: "If you go to see Master Lian tomorrow, you will propose to Master Lian that you want to set up a righteous school, it may not be appropriate for others to mention this matter, you go and say that Master Lian will definitely accept it and like it." ”
"What is the reason for this? Master Lian has a lot of protégés, so why must it be appropriate to talk about it?" asked Pomegranate puzzled.
"If someone else says it, Master Lian is afraid that he will think that he is selling his reputation and reputation, and he will even wonder if he is practicing selfish selfishness in the name of running a righteous school, and maybe he will give it no. Even if you don't block it, you probably won't agree with it, and things will naturally not be done. Besides, it's different from others, because what the Kuang family has always done is to cure diseases and save people, and there is this tradition. Chen Musa explained.
"Oh, there is still this benefit to practicing medicine and being a doctor. Pomegranate said as if she didn't understand.
Besides, I still can't understand that there is no benefit at all in running a righteous school, where is there any selfishness and self-interest.
Zhou Dingcheng smiled: "Besides, you are still young, and you don't know a lot about things in this world." As the saying goes, if you don't make a profit, you can't afford to be early, and if you don't seek fame or profit, why can't others doubt yourself if you do such a thankless thing with your own money? During the Song and Yuan dynasties, in some places, the powerful and powerful forces were greater than the government, and they started by doing good deeds. Needless to say, during the two Jin and Sui dynasties, it was no longer the imperial court and local officials who were really in power, but the local heroes. Since the founding of the country, this dynasty has been guarding against microscopic problems and strictly controlling such matters. ”
Besides, if you don't understand the reason for this, can you do a good deed and be able to draw an equal sign with the local heroes? It seems that the Ming Dynasty really did not pay attention to the era of serving the people wholeheartedly.
However, Buddhism does not have the saying "everyone is for me, I am for everyone", Confucianism also pays attention to courtesy, righteousness, benevolence, wisdom and faith, and benevolence and righteousness are not also serving others and selfless dedication. Once the things in the books meet the reality, there is still a big distance.
However, considering the Ming Dynasty's strict defense of princes, relatives and military attachés, it is not difficult to understand this matter. It is estimated that the imperial court treats the self-aggrandizement of local heroes and the possibility of rebellion of military attachés as the same kind of thing, and does not allow the slightest sign to be exposed.
"After Lord Lian agrees, you still have to contact the Zhou family brothers, it is estimated that after meeting Lord Lian, you will also have to meet with the Wen Bin brothers, and you will also encourage them to join, so that the Zhou family can also contribute some money, the key is not in the money, but in the fact that the Zhou family is the leader of the local squire, and the Zhou family joining represents the approval of the squire, so that there are no worries. Chen Musa analyzed.
"Is there anything else the squire has to say?"
"Of course I said. For example, if you run a righteous school, whether those squires will donate money to you, whether they will agree with it, and if you don't donate money, will you be scolded. Also, if we do it in Suzhou, whether Nanjing will do it, who will do it, and whether the squires in Nanjing will have any rumors to make it, this is something that must be guarded against. Zhou Dingcheng explained.
Besides, I touched my head and was horrified, if I had to think about everything so much, I just didn't do anything. However, he also understands that the world is so big that there are no surprises, and the old master and Zhou Dingcheng are naturally more knowledgeable than him. So, did my father take these into account, so the reputation of practicing medicine in Suzhou has always been tepid, which just fits the identity of a local famous doctor.
The world is full of knowledge, and the practice of human feelings is the article. In this regard, he knows that he is still a layman.
"There won't be much of a problem in Nanjing, if there is, your senior brother can help you suppress it. If it really goes well here in Suzhou, you can also join hands with your senior brother to continue to do this in Nanjing. Chen Musa said.
"Well, if the Zhongshan Wangfu comes forward, it can save a lot of gossip, but I'm afraid that they won't come forward. Zhou Dingcheng said in a deep voice.
"That's why we need to start in Suzhou first, so that they can give them a reason, otherwise, they will have too many concerns. Chen Musa muttered.
Even if the matter is settled, I thought that all I needed to do was money to do this kind of thing, it seems that money is only a small problem, and the personnel aspect is the main thing.
"Teacher, is it good that Brother Wen Bin is in charge of this matter?" and suddenly thought that he was actually not suitable for making a big name.
"No, they are not suitable for such a thing, otherwise there will be a backlash on the squire's side. Only you are the best fit. Because Ling Zun has been in the local area for many years, the name of benevolent medicine is all over Wuzhong, your son inherits his father's will, and no one can pick out the thorns when doing this kind of thing. Chen Musa said.
"What are you afraid of, I have you behind you. Seeing that the situation was a little rebellious, Pomegranate hurriedly instigated.
"It's not that I'm afraid, and I don't have anything to be afraid of, but I just feel that I am a little soft-spoken, and I am a little self-conscious to do this kind of thing. Besides, he laughed.
"It's nothing, you just put up a name, and the actual things are supported by us old guys in the back, especially Master Lian will help you a lot. ”
Besides, after hearing Chen Musa say this, I was sure in my heart, it seems that I am really famous, and I don't need to bow down to everything like in the mountain town.
In that mountain town, the number of scholars is almost extinct, and he is very good at what he does, but in Wuzhong, where there is a lot of humanities, he is really afraid that he will not be able to do a good job.
