Chapter 142: Yang's Academy

Early the next morning, under the service of the maid, Jing Ci was ready early. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Wearing an off-white embroidered peony skirt, wearing a red gold-inlaid silk jacket, there are not many accessories on the bun, and the makeup is more rigorous, a little less playful, a little more rich, especially solemn.

Jing Ci walked out of the mansion with the accompaniment of the young girl, stepped into the carriage, and accompanied Jing Ci to the house, as well as the mother-in-law of the courtyard, Aqi. Ah Qi is an old man in Yangfu, and the eldest sister arranged for her to patrol with Jing Ci, which has her own intentions.

"The Yang School is a clan school, and now the students in the school are half of the Yang clan, and the other half are the children of the poor family who are diligent in studying. As long as there are people in the school, they will be used by the Yang family to become officials in the future. ”

"How many students are there today?"

"Fifty-five in the book house, thirty-one in the study hall, a total of eighty-six. Students receive enlightenment in the study room, and after completing their studies, they can pass the assessment, and then enter the study hall to continue their studies and prepare for the examination. Mama Aqi patiently explained.

"With so many people, the annual expenses must be a lot of money...... Are there enough teachers and teaching materials? ”

"Since it is a clan school, it is naturally impossible for the expenditure to be funded only by our government, Siniang forgot, isn't there also the long line and the last line."

As he spoke, the carriage had stopped in a blink of an eye.

The school is located in the southern corner of the city, surrounded by low-rise civilian houses, only this school is built majestic, and there are two large pots of chrysanthemums on both sides of the main entrance.

The school manager had been waiting at the door for a long time, and when he saw Jing Ci, he hurriedly stepped forward to salute, "Liu has seen Siniang, and I am waiting for Siniang." ”

"Steward, please."

The steward then introduced Jing Ci into the house, bypassing a large shadow wall carved with bamboo patterns, and inside was a courtyard with some flowers and plants, and there was a house on the left and right, which was taken care of by the gatehouse. The courtyard is not deep, and a wall blocks the inside, and there is a moon cave door on the wall, and there are three steps in front of the door.

"Siniang, please." The steward led the way in front and led Jing Ci up the stone steps and into the Moon Cave Gate.

Inside the moon cave door is a passage room, which can be described as a middle courtyard, with some antique porcelain as decoration on both sides, and then go inside, and enter again. The structure of the house is almost the same as that of an ordinary house, consisting of the main house and the east and west wings. The doors and windows of the main house are built extremely high to maximize the lighting, and the doors and windows are decorated relatively simply, which has the simplicity of a scholar.

"The cold comes and the summer comes, and the autumn harvest is hidden in the winter. Leap into adulthood, Lu Lu tunes the yang ......"

There was the sound of reading aloud in the room, and the voice was quite childish, and the children were reading very seriously.

There is a passage on the east side, and from then on, there is another courtyard, which is relatively closed, and there are impassioned arguments from time to time.

Jing Ci couldn't help but stick his head inside, and found that they were all nearly twenty-year-old scholars, and the master listened carefully to the students' remarks in high spirits, nodding from time to time.

"Presumably this is the study hall."

"Exactly, they're all great young people. Siniang, South Hall, please. The steward invited Jing into the south room.

The room is relatively simple and simple, without too many luxurious decorations, and the handyman brings tea.

The steward began to introduce the basic situation of the school to Jing Ci, as well as the assignment of the tasks of the instructors. Not long after, several gentlemen, ranging in age from thirty to forty years old, came in to salute, and the steward introduced them as instructors for the initiation of the students.

After a while, the two older masters walked in and saluted, and Jing Ci got up to return the salute.

"I have a general understanding of the situation in the school, and I will report to the eldest sister when I go back. It's the end of the year in a blink of an eye, all the masters and gentlemen have worked hard for the school for a whole year, Siniang is here on behalf of the Yang family to thank you, "Jing Ci blessed the body, very sincere, several teachers hurriedly stepped forward to make a gesture of support, Jing Ci got up and said: "The eldest sister has specially prepared some year-end gifts for you, and please smile." ”

"The eldest lady is so thoughtful every year."

"Thank you for the kindness of the eldest lady, the fourth lady has worked hard."

…………

In the school place, there is no need to cause unnecessary onlookers because of the owner's inspection, which disturbs the order of the school and the mood of the students and instructors, so Jing Ci saw that the hour was almost up and got up to go home.

Walking out of the door of the school, the noisy voices around pulled people back into the chaos of the world.

There seemed to be someone shouting next to the house not far away, and out of curiosity, Jing Ci walked over unconsciously.

"How can there be such a reason! The rent is rising every year, and it doesn't let people celebrate the New Year! ”

"That's it! Even if it's a princess, it's not like this, how can we live like this, we don't care about the life and death of the people. ”

"The loss is still a princess with the blood of the Son of Heaven, and she is not sympathetic to the people's feelings at all!"

The public sentiment is quite turbulent.

"Everyone, be quiet—" the man in brocade robe yelled.

Jing Ci stopped far away, it was Xue Chongjian.

"I know that everyone is not having a good time, now that the border is unstable, Chang'an has been affected in all aspects, and the Princess's Mansion is no exception, so I'm sorry, the rental price quoted just now is the regulations of the Princess's Mansion."

"What are the regulations, the princess's mansion does not send troops, why do you want to increase our rent?"

"That's right! The Prime Minister's Mansion has not risen, why did Princess Taiping's Mansion rise? It's not fair! ”

Xue Chongjian looked at the menacing peasants, but he was speechless, they were right, his mother's decision to increase the rent this time was indeed unreasonable, and even many regulations in the house were too exploitative, but no matter how he dissuaded his mother, his mother couldn't listen.

Xue Chongjian sighed, turned around and got on the horse.

As soon as he turned the horse's head, he saw Jing Ci not far away.

The two nodded in agreement.

The two gradually got closer, and there was nothing to do next, so Jing Ci simply invited him to sit in Changque Tower.

…………

Changque Tower.

"At the end of the year, Xue Erlang is back to managing every day."

"Each other, you are not small, you are dressed today...... It's a little different. ”

Jing Ci chuckled, "I'm just helping the eldest sister run errands and inspect the school, so naturally I have to dress more maturely and solemnly." What about you? Just now, I saw that those tenants seem to have a lot of criticism about your house. ”

Xue Chongjian was helpless, "My mother has been busy with the affairs of the royal family in recent years, and she doesn't know much about the people's feelings, so I will communicate with her well when I go back." ”

Jing Ci nodded.

After eating a few pastries, she looked up at him and said hesitantly, "Xue Erlang, what do you think...... What kind of monarch is a wise monarch? ”

Xue Chongjian was slightly surprised, and came to his senses for a moment, "The way to be a king begins with determination, determination and then planning." Mingjun must at least learn the way of being a king first. Throughout the ages, there are no more than four kinds of Ming Jun. First, the founding hero, like Qin Shi Huang, who swept the world. Second, the king who created a prosperous era, such as Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, who created the prosperous era of the Han Dynasty. Third, the master of Zhongxing, such as Liu Fuling, Emperor Zhao of the Han Dynasty. Fourth, it is the king of the country to be revitalized. ”

"Qin Shi Huang was tyrannical, and the laws he enacted were very cruel and cruel, is it considered a Ming monarch? Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty first treasured the golden house, then favored Wei Zifu, and then had Mrs. Li, and in the end, the three women did not have a good death, so is he a Ming Jun? ”

"No one is perfect, and monarchs are no exception, even if they are lacking in some aspects, but we cannot ignore their ability to govern the world and their eloquence, they do have the ability to govern the country and secure the country, don't they? The society of the country is prosperous, and the people can live in peace. ”

Jing Ci couldn't help but nod.

I couldn't help but think of Li Longji and Princess Taiping.

"Do you think Princess Taiping will become Mingjun?"

"Don't talk nonsense!" Xue Chongjian looked quite flustered, she was really not afraid.

Jing Ci knew that he had lost his words, so he quickly lowered his head and pursed his lips.

Xue Chongjian looked left and right, fortunately there were not many people around, this girl never knew how to hide her thoughts, he shook his head helplessly.

The two sat down for a while and went home together. After going out, when they were separated, Xue Chongjian stopped Jing Ci, "You are doing things for the eldest lady now, it's better to be cautious in everything, don't be reckless." ”

"yes, I see."

"If you need help, send someone to find me."

"Cheng, Jing Ci thanked Xue Erlang here." Jing Ci smiled at him, looking very cute and smart.
