Chapter 169: It's Time to Move!
Su Lu carried a handwritten letter written by Wang Anshi and went to visit Cheng Yi according to the address given by Wang Anshi.
Cheng Yi was indeed almost packed up and was about to go back to his hometown in Luoyang. Hearing that Su Yi was visiting, he thought about it for a while and found that this name was a little familiar, and he should have heard it from his brother Cheng Yi.
Most of the scholars love to travel, Cheng Yi did not hesitate, and went out to welcome Su Lu into the house.
Cheng Yi was a little surprised when he saw Su Lu at first glance, because Su Lu was really too young, only a teenager, even if he grew up faster than his peers, it was still not enough to stand next to the sturdy King Kong.
"Brother Cheng." Su Lu called out in a hurry.
After entering together, Su Yi began to talk about feelings and dreams with Cheng Yi.
He is the same generation as Su Shi, Su Shi is the same generation as Cheng Hao, and Cheng Yi and Cheng Hao are siblings, rounding them up to be the same generation, Su Yi is not ambiguous at all, without saying a word, he first brought the relationship closer, and put a high hat on Cheng Yi, saying that his teachers Wang Anshi and Sima Guang are very optimistic about Cheng Yi!
Cheng Yi has never seen anything like this.
Su Lu told Cheng Yi about what he had seen and heard in recent days, saying that it was really sad that an old-timer worked hard to establish Jinshui Academy, but it was destroyed at the hands of unscrupulous descendants. The second son of the old-timer has the heart to change the predicament of the academy, but there is no one to help him!
Anyone with ideals, pursuits, and benevolent hearts will want to reach out to help when they hear that someone is in such a predicament, right?
He was going to spend a sum of money as a bursary to find out how many out-of-school teenagers were in the villages around Jinshui Academy, and give them free admission in the first year and tuition waiver in the second year according to the assessment results!
For the people of Gyeonggi, most of them are quite wealthy, and there is no shortage of this discount, and they must be willing to pay for their own money and send their children to better colleges, so it is basically guaranteed that this money can help those who really need it.
For example, those children who are not valued by the family can study for at least a year, so as not to be blind.
Cheng Yi was a little moved.
Cheng Yi is not a person who is detached from things and concentrates on learning, on the contrary, he cares very much about current affairs, the general trend of the world, and also wants to show his ambitions. As early as when he was eighteen years old, he once tried to go to the official family, pinpoint the disadvantages of the times, and peddle his own good prescription for governing the country, but unfortunately the official family did not pay attention to him.
The failure of the imperial examination in recent years made him a little uncomfortable, which made him have the idea of returning to his hometown and studying with peace of mind.
But now a half-grown teenager is talking in front of him? Talk about what you are going to do and what you can.
According to Su Lu? If Jinshui Academy can help 100 children a year, it will be 1,000 in 10 years? Behind these 1,000 children are a thousand families? A small change can affect the fate of thousands of people.
Is the power of the individual small? But sometimes it is this small force that pushes the whole society forward!
Ten years of trees? 100 years of tree people!
Cheng Yi said: "I'm okay with lecturing? I just don't know what you're talking about about the new course? ”
Su Yu flickered around, in order to say that Cheng Yi was moving. Seeing that Cheng Yi agreed, Su Yi immediately took out some of the textbooks he had prepared in advance and showed them to Cheng Yi: "Look, this content is simple?" If you are interested, you can choose one of the courses to teach? If you are not interested, you can only teach Confucius and Mencius. ”
Cheng Yi accepted the textbook.
Su Yi accepted it when he saw it, didn't flicker any further, and said goodbye to Cheng Yi to find someone else to help.
After running down on a rest day, many people knew about Su Lu digging people everywhere to revitalize Jinshui Academy.
In the face of Su Lu's all-out poaching offensive, there was only one small question in everyone's hearts: Where did Jinshui Academy pop up?
Su Lu, the leader, was slumped on the recliner in the courtyard at this time? Shaking his head and admiring the bright autumn moon in the sky.
Shen Lin sat next to him and looked at Su Chen's harvest in the day, which was the roster of the future masters of Jinshui Academy? I don't know how good these people are to teach, but the referee column is really breathtaking.
Isn't it great that ordinary people can talk to these famous big people? Su Lu can actually ask them to help recommend the master's candidate!
With these people to help speak, even if the other party doesn't think very much of Jinshui Academy in his heart? I'm afraid it's hard to refuse Su Lu's invitation, right?
Shen Lin only thought that Su Lu was unusual at first? Now it seems more than unusual.
Even people who are officials in the court may not have connections like Su Lu!
Su Lu didn't know Shen Lin's complicated thoughts.
Has he been paralyzed enough? Sit up and hold your cup of milk tea.
Seeing Shen Lin flipping through the roster over and over again with a complicated expression, Su Lu asked curiously, "It's been a long time, and you haven't finished reading it yet?" ”
Shen Lin saw that Su Lu's face was full of normal, and he didn't take his behavior of catching many big people in the court and the central government one by one to take it to heart, so he didn't say anything about his sudden pressure.
Since Su Lu dared to hand over the matter to him for arrangement, how could he not dare to take it.
Shen Lin said: "Ming'er, I'll go to Jinshui Academy, and I'll let someone come back to inform you of anything." ”
Su Lu likes a cheerful person like Shen Lin.
Su Lu nodded and said, "Okay, Ming'er, I'll let someone send you over, and you can help me keep an eye on the renovation of the academy first." The steward in charge of the renovation is our Xinglong Tan Company, and if there is anything that needs to be adjusted, you just have to tell them to do it. ”
After the two agreed, Shen Lin went back to the room.
When he returned to the room, Shen Lin didn't sleep, but sat by the window and watched the night outside.
The stars and the moon are bright, and the bright river is in the sky.
Shen Lin's hand rested on his lap, touching his unconscious lower limbs. He has had a leg disease since he was a child, and his knees are unable to exert his strength, and both his father and his aunt care about him very much, but he knows that what he wants is not this kind of care that treats him differently.
He wants to prove himself more than anyone else, and he wants to be treated as a normal person more than anyone else, instead of worrying about his thoughts everywhere and worrying about whether he can take care of himself.
What he wants is that when people mention him, they won't just say, "It's a pity that his legs can't walk."
It's good to be like Su Lu, he doesn't need to be treated differently.
Compared with Shen Lin's tossing and expectation, Su Lu had a good night's sleep without heart and lungs. His great work of copying books progressed rapidly, and by the beginning of August, he had completed a complete set of basic textbooks.
The textbook is not easy to print privately, so Su Lu quietly went through the back door again, and asked the Guozijian to speed up the review.
Guozijian was quite controversial about Su Lu's set of textbooks, and organized several rounds of manual review, focusing on the verification and discussion of many of the theories, and was surprised to find that many of the principles were really true!
The national festival wine was also alarmed.
Guozi Sacrificial Wine has a lot of research on arithmetic, and took a look at the arithmetic textbook sent by Su Chen, and found that the content was very cleverly integrated, and the arithmetic theory was arranged in an orderly manner from shallow to deep, and he was secretly shocked in his heart.
However, Guozi Sacrificial Wine quickly calmed down, and in a blink of an eye, he thought of how many people were standing behind Su Lu: Zhang Fangping and Wang Anshi of the Third Division were his teachers, and the Third Division was in charge of the country's finances, and it was normal to study well; In the middle of Zaizhi, Han Qi, Zeng Gongliang and others all treated him differently; Among the Hanlin scholars, Ouyang Xiu, Han Jiang and others also taught him for a whole year; For the rest, there are Fan Zhen, Sima Guang and others who also have a little hometown or teacher-student friendship with him......
These characters are taken out individually, and they are all very famous!
With these people here, it is not unusual for Su Lu to be able to integrate such a set of teaching materials. It's fine if they review it fairly and impartially, but if they have nothing to do and find something to pick and choose, maybe they will pick which of the big guys will be picked!
With such an idea, Guozi Sacrificial Wine privately instructed others to review the loose ones, close their eyes and let them go if they can close their eyes, and don't find fault if they can't find faults.
As soon as Guozi Sacrificial Wine made such a statement, the review speed was greatly accelerated. Anyway, there are a lot of things that everyone can't understand, so just close your eyes and let it go.
This set of books, there is someone behind it!
So Su Lu was surprised to find that the textbooks had just arrived at the Mid-Autumn Festival, and he could find someone to print them.
Su Lu couldn't help but run to Zhang Yunrou and sighed: "Look at this efficiency, it's amazing, it's amazing!" The imperial court is really capable of countless people, and this has finished reviewing my entire set of teaching materials! ”
Zhang Yunrou also felt strange. She was reading Su Lu's original manuscript, and there were many contents that she had never been exposed to at all, and she felt that it was both fresh and profound, and every time she encountered examples and exercises, she always had to stop and study for a long time.
She felt that she had learned fast enough, but she didn't expect that she couldn't keep up with the speed of Guozijian's review.
Zhang Yunrou said: "This is probably 'there are people outside the world, and there is a sky outside the sky'." ”
Su Lu resolutely refused to admit it. He said firmly: "There must be some of them who don't know how to pretend to understand!" ”
Su Lu told Zhang Yunrou that these people don't know how to pretend to understand, not to mention it, just talking about his cousin Su Shi Province when he tried to write a policy theory made up allusions can prove this! Those examiners didn't see the source of the allusions, and they refused to admit that they were lonely and unheard, so they praised his cousin's allusions well!
I remember a famous writer surnamed Zheng gathered with a large group of peers, everyone was talking, and the writer surnamed Zheng also pretended to be very gregarious and said that he liked the work of XX very much, and won a lot of echoes, and others said "I have also seen it" and "I also like it". It wasn't until these people blew a certain rainbow fart that the writer surnamed Zheng said: "I made it up by so-and-so." ”
Zhang Yunrou was stunned when she heard this.
Is that okay too?
Su Lu got cheap and behaved, and said happily: "Considering that they are not young, I won't expose them, just print them anyway!" ”
The teaching materials have been settled, and Su Lu is enthusiastically planning for the start of school, and he decides to set the first day of school on the second day of September.
Originally, Su Lu was going to be set on the first day of the ninth month, after all, how easy it is to remember the start of school on the first day of September, but unfortunately the fifteenth day of the first day of the new year must have a big court meeting, and he couldn't invite Wang Anshi and others to go over to support the scene, so he had to change it to the second day of the ninth month, which happened to be the rest day of the hundred officials in the court!
By that time, the academy had been renovated for more than a month, and it was estimated that it was almost repaired, and it was just in time to open its doors to welcome visitors.
Zhang Yunrou listened to Su Lu's decision, and her expression was a little strange: "...... Is it the second day of September? ”
Su Lu wondered: "Is there something wrong?" ”
Zhang Yunrou shook her head, indicating that there was nothing wrong. The two of them have already changed Gengti, and she knows that Su Lu's birthday is on the sixth day of the sixth month of June, and her birthday is exactly the second day of the ninth month. However, they have not yet married, and Su Lu has no reason to celebrate her birthday.
Su Lu happily invited Zhang Yunrou to go with him.
Zhang Yunrou took a bite.
Su Lu walked home, and always felt that his sister Zhang's performance just now was not right. He pondered for a while, then turned around to find his mother to find out what the second day of September was.
Su Mu listened to Su Lu's entangled expression, and said with a smile: "You, the family has done things for you, and you don't care at all." She didn't embarrass her son, and directly told Su Lu about Zhang Yunrou's birthday on the second day of September.
Su Lu suddenly realized: "So that's the case." ”
In these years, the girl's name and birthday are not easy to tell others casually, and naturally there is no reason to let foreign men celebrate their birthdays, no wonder he swallowed back when his sister's words came to his mouth just now.
Su Mu said: "You are still young, you don't have to be too grand to give gifts to each other, just get your heart." ”
Su Lu nodded: "I know." ”
Su Lu added "celebrating Sister Zhang's birthday" to the schedule.
Busy.
It is not only Su Lu who is busy, but also the DPRK and China have been very busy recently.
The first thing to be busy with is the acceptance of the new salt farm, the output of several new salt farms has been counted, not only the amount is large, but also the salt is white and delicate, far better than many salt on the market today! This can make salt merchants everywhere come alive, and they are eager to contract these new salt farms immediately!
The credit for the great success of the salt drying method naturally goes to Zhang Fangping as the third envoy, Su Jian as the initiator, and Su Song as the executor!
Basically, their promotion is stable.
Next, the court had to discuss who should continue to preside over the work.
Another thing he was busy with was Song Qi's offering of Shu wax.
The output of Shu wax is said, and many people's eyelids jump!
You must know that the oil extraction technology of the Great Song Dynasty has advanced by leaps and bounds, not only sesame, perilla seeds, and brassia seeds, which are common oilseeds, can be squeezed, but even almonds, cranberries, cangzi, and black cypress seeds without much oil have been squeezed one by one. But some of the oil quality is low, the smoke is very big when the lamp is lit, if the ordinary people are okay, the patience will pass, if you want to read under this kind of lamp, then you have to have great perseverance!
Now Song Qi said that this kind of wax from Shu is not only large in output and low in cost, but also belongs to the wax source of sustainable development.
Shudi is full of mountains!
Now, with a little use of these mountains, you can have enough candles to supply countless readers with lights to read at night!
coincided with the Mid-Autumn Festival, Zhao Zhen heard such good news, and was so happy that he directly lit the Shu wax offered by Song Qi at the palace banquet.
This group of meritorious men in Shu should also move their positions!
