Chapter 12 Examination Assistants (1)
Flowers and collections are the brothers' greatest encouragement to Yunming! Looking forward to it)
Quanzhou official school is the Southern Song Dynasty when two adjacent academies were connected, and it is one of the highest institutions of learning in Fuzhou and Zhejiang provinces. After several years of education, students from private schools in counties, prefectures, and prefectures can enter the higher level of academies, and only those with excellent grades or those recommended by the gentry can enter the government schools for further study.
Shang Yu had only studied in a private school for a while, and he had never even entered a private academy, so at this time, he and Shen Fu entered the largest institution of higher learning in Quanzhou City, and suddenly felt different.
The area of the government school is about dozens of square meters, and the study hall building is also as many as dozens, a total of nearly 10,000 students from all walks of life, although it is just past two o'clock, there is still a little time from the third quarter of an hour, but the inland of the government school continues to go inward The students are already dense, so that Shang Yu can't help but be startled.
"The official school of Quanzhou Mansion is the best in the world, and even most of them have not been compared with it! Shang Yu, I heard from my cousin that you once studied in a private school, how is it compared to here? Shen Fu couldn't help but ask amusefully when he saw Shang Yu looking stunned.
Shang Yu withdrew his gaze from the surrounding students, and said with some uneasiness: "Young Master! I've only been in a private school for two years, and I haven't even entered a college, so where can I ever come to a government school? Don't make fun of me. ”
"My Central Plains culture, a long history, countless literati and writers were born from this, there are hundreds of schools of thought in ancient times, these studies may not be learned overnight, but if you want to focus on the doctorate, now you have to come to Quanzhou to study! I don't think you've ever been here either. Shen Yan said with a smile, but there was no sarcasm in his words about Shang Yu.
"Young Master! Was it difficult for you to take the test today? Shang Yu couldn't help but ask when he saw that Shen Fu's conversation was different from that in the mansion at this time.
"Hey! This kind of test examination is not difficult for me, the difficulty is that after the real big exam has achieved fame, I will inherit the ancestral business, be the forever shrinking rich man, I can't do big things, there are tens of thousands of dumps of land, but I can't revitalize it, I can only keep it and collect rent, I feel extremely upset when I think about it! Shen Fu directly said what he was worried about at this time.
"Young Master, if you can double the grain production of the land, then you can quickly accumulate funds, my family originally lived in a mountain village, and I have a little income from land cultivation, I hope to help Young Master!" When Shang Yu heard what Shen Fu said, he suddenly remembered that Liu Xingyu had taught him the way to increase grain production.
No one in the village believed it, and his mother didn't allow him to do that, in order not to make his mother angry, Shang Yu never tried, but Liu Xingbao showed all the means before leaving, which made Shang Yu believe what he said, so he said it at this time.
"Huh! Fertilizing and planting diligently, I still know these basic common sense! But the best place to grow rice in our house is rice! Yields cannot be increased! The rules of the clan are not allowed to sell land, hey! I'll tell you what to do, or deal with this test! Shen Fu said this, but he took Shang Yu through several courtyards and came to a study hall.
Shang Yu saw that Shen Fu was not interested in what he said at all, so he didn't say anything more, and when he looked up, he saw a plaque hanging on the study hall above his head, with three big characters "Shang Shutang" written on it.
"This is the most well-known and expensive place in the official school, and it is also the most expensive place in the library, which is full of professors of the prefecture and prefecture who are respected in the official school, but there are no such characters as the mountain chief and the scholar here! If I am not recommended by my uncle, I will not be able to enter this school even if I have money, and the people who teach in these schools are all made up of retired officials from my court, which is different from those who are indiscriminate and underground in other schools. Okay, you won't understand all this, so let's go inside with me and prepare for the exam! When Shen Fu said this, he took Shang Yu's hand and walked inside.
Shang Yu was carrying more than a dozen catties of books and the four treasures of the study room behind him, and was pulled inward by Shen Fu, but he thought in surprise: "It turns out that there are so many students in Fuxue Middle School, and most of the people who teach courses are people with great fame, it seems that the seemingly knowledgeable Mr. Xiucai in my private school is not qualified to serve here at all!" ”
"Young Master! You're taking the exam inside, I'll just wait outside! Is it possible to bring a scholar inside? Shang Yu suddenly thought of such a question and couldn't help but ask Shen Fu.
"Of course you can, the 10,000 taels of silver donated every year are donated in vain? Although this study hall is large, each of our students has a separate practice room, and only when the common topic needs to be told by Mr. will enter the teaching hall on the third floor, not to mention taking you a scholar, even if I bring more people here, no one will stop me! ”
"Although it is a trial exam today, as long as it is not a person with a meritorious name, it will not matter! Look at those students, they are all equivalent to my identity, the richest man or the son of an official eunuch in Quanzhou and various prefectures, although this building is big, there are only dozens of us! When Shen Fu said this, he couldn't help but feel complacent.
Shang Yu couldn't help but stumble again, and whispered: "Ten thousand taels of silver, that's enough for me to squander my life!" It's actually your one-year scholarship! And such a book hall is only set up for dozens of people, which is really beyond imagination! Speaking of this, Shang Yu couldn't help but think of the idea that he wanted to get rich in business, and sighed in his heart that he didn't know when he would reach the level of Shen Fu.
At this moment, a loud laugh suddenly came not far ahead.
"Isn't this the man who said wildly and wanted to become the richest man in the Central Plains? Why, after seeking fame, will he go home and become the rich man of the land? A hoarse voice came from behind him.
Shen Fu's face changed, and he hurriedly said to Shang Yu: "Let's go quickly!" The son of the richest man in Suzhou speaks harshly, we don't have to be as knowledgeable as this villain! As he spoke, he seemed to be very afraid of the people behind him.
"Brothers! Hurry up and stop that guy, I haven't settled accounts with him about the last time he robbed my powder! I didn't catch you in the first two attempts, Shen Wansan, you don't want to slip away this time! Another shrill voice came not far behind him.
When Shang Yu heard this voice, he couldn't help but look back, only to see several well-dressed young men rushing towards Shen Fu with expressions of seeing prey.
And two students also appeared in front of them, and they also stopped at the stairs, and they stopped Shang Yu and Shen Fu on the stairs with front and back attacks.
"Young Master! What's going on? Shang Yu saw this kind of scene and had a bad instinct, and immediately asked Shen Fu, feeling strange in his heart, why did those people call Shen Fu Shen Wansan?
"It's nothing, these people haven't forgotten about it!" Shen Fu couldn't help but say with a wry smile, and he turned around helplessly.
"Brother Zeng, haven't you forgotten the day before that month? That powder head is really good, and her tea work is top-notch! Shen Fuqiang said with a smile.
"Phew! Every time you show off Sven in the three alleys to don't show me up, take advantage of the absence of the professor of Fuxue, brothers, beat him up for me! A slightly chubby young man with a sneer on his face said loudly.
"Howler! Zeng Gongzi, this time he will never let him slip away like the previous two times. ”
Several young men in front and behind were rolling their arms and sleeves on the ground, and they were about to step forward and move.
Shang Yu couldn't help shouting at this time: "Stop! If you want to be rude to our young master, don't blame the little ones for being rude to you! Although it was not clear why this was the case, as Shen Fu's scholar, it was impossible for him to ignore the actions of these people.
Moreover, Shang Yu is a child who grew up in a mountain village, although he is not very old, but he works in the mountains and fields every day, and his body is quite strong, and his strength is by no means comparable to these pampered men.
