Gao pragmatic saw that Chen Ju's face was a little embarrassed, and knew that the heat was enough, so he put down the fragrant tea in his hand, smiled slightly, and said: "Ansu County has not been prosperous in recent years, and it is said that there are few names and surnames on the talent ceremony...... It's a pity that the kid has never been to Guixiang, and he doesn't dare to say no, but I don't know what Gong Chen thinks is that Guixiang is not prosperous in terms of learning style, what is the root of the problem? ”

Chen Ju didn't quite understand the meaning of Gao Shishi's words for a while, and thought to himself, I can't say that the county lord has no way to educate, right?

After a slight hesitation at the moment, he said cautiously: "Mr. Xiao Gao, the style of learning in the north is not as rich as that in the south of the Yangtze River...... Uh, I don't know if Mr. Kogao knows that there are a lot of horse thieves in Bazhou? ”

Gao Pragmatic frowned slightly: "I've heard a little, what?" Bazhou horse thieves also plundered Ansu? ”

Chen Ju smiled bitterly: "After all, Ansu is attached to Guo Baoding, and Baoding is the governor's station, and the heavenly soldiers gather, so it is impossible to say that horse thieves are plundering." However, Ansu is only one hundred and fifty miles away from Bazhou after all, and the fast horse arrives in one day, so it is always harassed by horse thieves every three or five times, and there are not many robberies and robberies, but robbing passing merchants and travelers and the like happen from time to time, and there are all kinds of lawlessness, and so on, so it is more difficult for students here to concentrate on learning. In addition, the slave and maid remember that when they were young in the township, the social studies were dilapidated, not only the classroom was open and leaking, but even the social teachers were often in arrears or even in short supply, and in recent years, they occasionally returned to their hometowns to visit relatives, which was the same as before. It stands to reason that the children are not responsible for the books and miscellaneous expenses used by the child, but it is actually difficult to do so due to the poverty of the county government. As for the county school, I heard that it is almost ......."

Gao pragmatically nodded: "That is to say, the style of study in Ansu is not prosperous, one is banditry, and the other is that the school funds for social studies and county schools cannot be guaranteed?" ”

Chen Ju was originally shocked when he heard this, and he was a little worried about Gao's pragmatic position, but when he glanced at this little Mr. Gao's face, he finally put his mind at ease and nodded: "That's roughly how it should be." ”

Gao Pragmatic showed a smile: "The trouble of the Bazhou horse bandits, if not a hundred years, but also decades, is not something that I can deal with as a white-bodied child, please understand this." As for the lack of funds for Ansu County's school and social studies, please rest assured that Chen Gong will repair a letter to Liang Xianzun on this matter, and ask him to pay more attention. ”

The trouble of Bazhou horse bandits has been around for a long time. The so-called horse bandits, commonly known as ringing horses or ringing horse thieves, if you want to investigate their roots, they may be traced back to the Ming Dynasty Hebei Ma Zheng, so I will not repeat them here. It is only said that during the Zhengde period, there was a Liu Liu Liu and Liu Qi uprising in Bazhou, and its rebel army with horse bandits as the main force even captured many prefectures and counties in Beizhili, Shandong, Henan, and Shanxi, and forced into Beijing three times. It can be seen from this that the trouble of the horse bandits in Bazhou is really a cold of three feet and not a day, and it is completely understood that Gao pragmatic said that he could not help Chen Ju about the matter of the horse bandits.

On the issue of funding for county schools and social studies, Chen Ju was really surprised and delighted when he heard Gao Pragmatic Answer! What is surprising is that this matter has nothing to do with Mr. Xiao Gao, he will actually pull down his son and give a "county order from the same jinshi" to personally repair a letter to say this, which is naturally selling face to himself, but he is just a little-known little person in the palace, where is it worthy of the nephew of the first favorite minister of the dynasty? What's weird here?

Happily, with this Mr. Xiao Gao's words, Liang Xianzun, who came to Gaofu and couldn't even see the teacher, still can't pick up the county school and social science? No matter how poor the county government is, even if the treasury is so clean that even rats don't bother to patronize it, as long as the county lord is a little concerned, how can a little school funding be guaranteed!

Thinking that he is here, his status in the palace is not high, he doesn't have much income, and he has to bring some money to the family every year for his old father and brother, and his hands are really tight, if his brother can save a sum of money by studying, it will be much easier.

Thinking of this, Chen Ju couldn't sit still, stood up, saluted respectfully towards Gao Shipra, and said: "The slave and maid thanked Mr. Xiao Gao for his kindness on behalf of my unsuccessful brother and the students of Hexian County. ”

Gao Pragmatic hurriedly got up and held him up, and said, "Eh, why does Gong Chen have to be like this, it's just a matter of raising his hands...... Besides, the kid is also helping Senior Brother Liang pick up the missing and fill in the gaps, after all, this situation is under his rule, if he can make the county's school style clean and vigorous, is it also his political achievement? ”

Chen Ju didn't listen, he finished this ceremony, Gao pragmatic persuaded a few words, and the two sides sat down again, and chatted for a while, Chen Ju saw that it was not early, thinking that he would go back to the palace to resume his life, and he didn't dare to stay for a long time, so he said goodbye and left. Gao Pragmatic saw that the purpose of giving grace had been achieved, so he didn't stay for long, but he still sent it away in person, which moved Chen Ju for a while.

In Chen Ju's opinion, with such a pragmatic background, he can still hand over such a frustration, he is really benevolent and natural, but it is a pity that he is just a little eunuch in the inner court, and he is doing some tea and errands on weekdays, I really don't know when I will be able to repay this favor? I had to write it down in my heart and save it for the next day.

Chen Ju was grateful and didn't say anything, but said that after Gao Pragmatic sent Chen Ju away, he went to his aunt to say goodbye as usual, and then went to the study to study. Although Gao Gong hesitated for a long time and didn't think about which Confucian he wanted to invite to be the western seat, he still personally arranged some schoolwork for Gao Pragmatic.

Of course, the highly pragmatic coursework is actually quite simple, and at the moment it is nothing more than endorsement, because the Ming Dynasty did not test the post poem [Note: I remember seeing the protagonist of the Ming Dynasty in a famous novel to test the post poem, this should actually be impossible, the Ming and early Qing Dynasty are not examined post poems, if I remember correctly, it should be until the Qianlong period to re-include the test post poems in the assessment. All exams are in the "Four Books" and "Five Classics", so the Four Books and Five Classics must be memorized thoroughly. As for the specific interpretation, they will be discussed in detail after they are familiar with it, which is one of the reasons why Gao Gong is so cautious but not in a hurry to invite Xixi. After all, there is no need to supervise the endorsement at all times - you will know if you care about it when you go home and check it. As for the future explanation, what if there is no Xixi? Isn't he a great Confucian in the world? Just kidding, has the wine of the country's priest been dry for nothing in those years?

Do you understand the wine of the country's priesthood? The president of the highest university in the country!

What's more, he Gao Gong is still the lecturer of Yuwang back then, and the current emperor! The emperor can teach everything, but he can't teach his nephew?

Of course, in fact, the reason why Gao Gong has such confidence in Gao Pragmatic's studies when he is so busy is not only the self-confidence of being an "emperor", but also from Gao Pragmatic's consistent excellent performance since enlightenment.

Gao pragmatic enlightenment is very early, more than three years old because of clear speech, fluent expression, the elders of the clan are happy to immediately enlighten him - here to say a little more, the ancients enlightenment time is uncertain, for ordinary people, save enough "tuition" can be enlightened. And for those who are not short of this little money, when they are enlightened, it mainly depends on the children themselves. After all, some children can speak earlier, and some children can speak slower, so you can't let a child who can't speak clearly be forcibly enlightened, right?

Therefore, the enlightenment time of children in large families is often based on the child's ability to express his or her meaning more clearly. For example, Li Bai said to himself, "At the age of five, he recites Liujia, and at the age of ten, he views a hundred schools." Although what Kaimeng learned in the Tang Dynasty and Ming Dynasty is quite different, it can be generally considered that Li Bai must have been enlightened at the latest when he was five years old, and in fact he was enlightened at the age of five quite early - otherwise, with Li Bai's temperament, he would not have taken it out to "show off". As for the Ming Dynasty, the most common time for enlightenment today is around seven or eight years old - which is very much in line with the time period of primary school in the later world.
