Taiyuan Mansion is in the west of Jingzhao Mansion, about 800 miles to Jingzhao Mansion, the terrain here is dangerous, there are many lofty mountains and rivers, known as "the mountains and rivers in the surface", it has always been the great Ding soldier to rush.

Because of its important location, the selection of successive Taiyuan Mansion Yin are cautious, when Taiyuan Mansion Yin Zheng Shiyong is the pure minister of Emperor Chongde, his insight into the government is not indulgent, so the Taiyuan Mansion is well governed.

Jinju was originally the first state under Taiyuan Province, and during the alternation of Jianhe and Chongde, there was a rebellion between the two kings in Taiyuan Province, and the court suppressed it, and Jinzhou was one of the main battlefields. The destruction of a place by war is almost impossible to describe in words, and we can only weep when we see it......

The sage once said, "Where the teacher is, thorns are born." After the great army, there will be a fierce year" is yes! For the people, stopping the killing is peace, and no war is the prosperous era. - This point, Gu Chongan felt deeply here in Jinzhou.

"Lord Ge, the so-called inch of mountains and rivers and an inch of blood, that's it, right? Xiaguan has never been to Jinju, and he doesn't want the rebellion of the two kings to be so cruel back then, and the people of Jinju are suffering. Gu Chongan sighed and said to his secretary Cheng Gehong.

"Indeed, it is not easy for Dading to be peaceful today, and we, as court officials, should know this." Ge Hong stroked his white beard and said with a smile.

Ge Hong was in charge of the Jinju collection, and he came to Jinju with fifteen secretaries and provincial officials. You will stay here for a month, and you will be able to return to Jingzhao before the Midyear Festival. Among these officials, there are three secretaries, in addition to Gu Chongan, there are also Qi Mi and Chen Wenyu; The rest are all school scriveners and orthography, and they are all very young young people who have just been ordained.

As soon as Ge Hong's words fell, Qi Mi shook his fan and said: "Jinzhou has good scenery here, but I don't know how the culture and Taoism are here, there are books that can be hidden, and there are songs that cannot be recorded." ”

Qi Mi is only eight buckets high. Known as one of the "Five Virtues of Secretaries". It's quite indifferent, and I'm not interested in being compassionate at the moment, I just want to go back to Jingzhao as much as possible.

"Wouldn't you go and see it tomorrow? Anyway, this time there is a month, and there is plenty of time. Chen Wenyu said. I also have little interest in the mountains and rivers of Sheji. Is it good to copy books and songs at a leisurely pace?

Ge Hong still smiled and nodded. I think Qi Mi and Chen Wenyu's words are also very reasonable, he has an easy-going temperament and is very good. It is most suitable for collecting style with a secretary and a provincial official.

He had gone out with officials many times before, and he knew very well that after the secretaries and provincial officials were settled, the collection began in an orderly manner.

In the next few days, Gu Chong'an took a few school scholars and orthography on the west side of Jinju and began to collect valuable poems, books and lyrics, and at the same time record the local customs and customs to be examined.

The collection style of the Dading Dynasty was not like that of the previous dynasty, which was dedicated to collecting local folk songs and ballads, but including a qiē related to Wendao. This kind of activity is more like recording the customs and feelings of the people in a place and at one time, so as to provide the most original materials for historians to revise history. Therefore, the secretary of the ministry attaches great importance to the collection of style, and the officials do not dare to slack off in the slightest.

In the past half a month, Gu Chongting looked at the records handed over by several school clerks, and he was not in a good mood. This time on the west side of Jinju, there are not many valuable things, that is to say, the Wendao in the west of Jinju is not prosperous, and the life of the people is not good, which is the conclusion that Gu Chongan came to from the records.

Food and clothing are sufficient to know honor and disgrace, and Cangqiao knows etiquette. These words are still very reasonable, just ask a place that does not even have many books, songs, etc., how can the local people know the etiquette and reason? In the final analysis, the damage caused by the war to Jinju is still too great.

Gu Chong'an thought about this, his mood was a little heavy, and he said to a few school scholars: "I'll go out for a walk." ”

He didn't need to explain to them, he just thought that if the chief Ge Hong came to him, these school scholars would not be too embarrassed.

Jinju in June, like Gyeongzhao, is very hot. At this time, it was evening, and the heat of the day seemed to come out of the ground, and Gu Chong'an, who was walking on the streets of Jinju, felt particularly stuffy, and only when he walked to the mouth of the alley, there would be a trace of wind leaking out, and the stuffiness would be relieved a little.

Gu Chong'an walked aimlessly, wherever he went. When passing through an ordinary alley, he suddenly stopped, and watched the scene in the middle of the alley, and he walked slowly over.

"That's all for today, and when you come back tomorrow, I'll say the next thing." When Gu Chong'anfu approached there, he heard the old man say this, and he was still shaking a pu fan in his hand to dissipate heat.

As soon as he finished speaking, several children who had been sitting around him stood up, carefully placed the paper in their hands on the bamboo chair, bent down respectfully, and said in unison; "Thank you, Grandpa Kong, we will definitely come tomorrow,!"

These children, about eight or nine years old, were wearing coarse cloth clothes, and some of them were even patched, which showed that these were children of poor families. But what made Gu Chongan strange was that these poor children seemed to be different from the poor children he had seen before.

They respectfully bowed to the old man, carefully arranged the small bamboo chairs, and more importantly, the faces of these children were not humble and sad, but there was a kind of vitality.

When I saw them, it was as if the sun had just risen.

"Excuse me, old man, are you the teacher of these children?" After the children left, Gu Chongan gestured to the old man and asked.

It seems that this old man is teaching these children to solve their doubts, and there is no doubt that he is a gentleman. It's just that how can you teach in the middle of the alley? Is it because these little children are poor?

After listening to Gu Chong'an's question, the old man put on his long beard and said with a smile: "I'm not their teacher, where am I qualified to be their teacher, I just know a few words, and I happened to pick up a few books in the war, so I just said it for them." ”

He looked at Gu Chong'an, a little surprised in his heart. This middle-aged man is a Confucian man, he looks like a scholar, but his gestures are a little different, and he does not have the arrogance of a scholar, but is very humble, which makes people feel good.

"Sir, please be seated." The old man stretched out his hand to invite, he didn't know who Gu Chongan was, so he used the word "sir" to call him.

"Thank you, uncle, then the younger generation will be disrespectful." Gu Chongan made another gesture to the old man, and then sat down.

After sitting down, Gu Chongan exchanged a few words with the old man, and then said the doubts in his heart: "Old man, why are you studying here in the alley?" There should be a state school and a county school here in Jinju, why don't these children study there? ”

As soon as Gu Chongan asked this, the old man knew that he was a foreigner, and he knew that this person's family must be well-off, so he asked such an ungrounded question.

How can these poor children in patched clothes barely afford to go to county school or state school even for three meals? Only the children of the powerful and rich can go, where can ordinary people have such opportunities?

So, the old man explained to Gu Zhong in detail: "Mr. must have come from other places, so he is not familiar with the situation here in Jinzhou. Since the Rebellion of the Two Kings, there have been fewer and fewer county schools and state schools, and non-ordinary people can study them......"

This old man has read a few books and has been living here in Jinju, so he is very familiar with the situation here in Jinju, and it is best to talk in his life, so he told the situation of Jinju state school and county school one by one.

If someone passes by here, they will see such a scene: in front of a house, there are several bamboo chairs, among which an old man is talking slowly, and the middle-aged man opposite him is listening carefully, but the middle-aged man's face slowly changes, from the beginning of the comfort to the middle of the cautious, and finally the corners of the lips are pursed with anger.

"Old man, are all these things you said true? Is this the case for the whole of Jinju, or is this true for some counties? I didn't know that the county schools and government schools in these places were like this! Gu Chongan said in a deep voice.

From the description of the old man, he can clearly see the scenes: the pedantry and greed of Mr. County School and State School, after the rich and powerful students entered the County School and State School, they did not familiarize themselves with the books of sages, but played birds and crickets; The children of poor families looked at the doors and walls of the county and state schools, but they were not qualified to enter at all......

No wonder, no wonder the collection of books in these places of Jinju is so meager, and folk songs and ballads are so scarce, it turns out that it is not only because of the war, but the most important reason is the education of the officials here!

Because the constraints set by the county school and the state school are too high and the standards set are too harsh, the vast majority of the people's children have not been able to enter the county school and state school at all, so that the county school and the state school have only become the pockets of the powerful and powerful, and the ordinary people have no chance to know etiquette and reason.

If a county learns from a state like this, then the fate of a county and a state will be like this in the future. It's an extremely simple logic, but how many people will find out?

Gu Chongan is the son of a powerful person, and he never knew that this was the case outside of government schools at all levels.

But Gu Chong'an didn't have time to think of more, when he heard the old man continue: "I heard that the court officials will come here in Jinzhou to collect style, I think they will definitely not be able to collect many things. If they don't know the root cause of the decline of Jinju's Wendao, even if they copy Jinju's books and record Jinju's folk customs, what's the use? If it is not beneficial to the people, what is the use of sealing it as a record in the province of the secretary? ”

In the end, the old man laughed out loud, with a hint of mockery in his eyes.

When Gu Chongan heard these words, his face couldn't help but turn red.
