In Zhang Liu's house, Emperor Hongzhi no longer mentioned the affairs of the court, and all he asked about was some things about the workshop in the clouds.

These things were not handled by Xie Zhi himself, but he still knew about them.

No matter what Emperor Hongzhi asked, he was able to answer them one by one.

After chatting about a few incense sticks, Zhang Liu's grandson Huzi came back from the school.

Since the establishment of the school, the children in the village have learned more or less.

Huzi is not a shy person, knowing that Xie Zhi and the others are not afraid at all, he walked directly to Xie Zhi's side, and shouted with a smile: "Zhixian." ”

Xie Zhi also smiled slightly, and replied, "What did you learn in the school today?" ”

Huzi replied: "Qianziwen, Mr. Zhang is sick, and the teaching has found a new Mr. for me, this gentleman is not like Mr. Zhang, who will be beaten if he can't write a word, and I will point out when I can't write well, only if anyone points out that he can't correct it many times, he will be beaten, and I like this gentleman very much." ”

Child, I definitely don't like a gentleman who waives a ruler at every turn, and of course, what you learn with such a gentleman is more solid.

Naturally, Xie Zhi didn't need to discuss Mr. Huzi's stern questions with Huzi.

Xie Zhi asked again, "Is Mr. Zhang sick?" Is it serious? ”

Before Huzi could answer, Zhang Shi, who had gone to the market to buy something, came back, and replied to Xie Zhi's question: "This time, Mr. Zhang is very sick, and Tang Jiao also invited Langzhong from the county to take a special look, so it will take more time." ”

When I'm older, I don't worry less about the things in the school, and I can get tired and sick when I'm tired.

Xie Zhi replied: "Since this is the case, then let Mr. Zhang raise it first, and when he is empty, he has to go and see Mr. Zhang, and it is thanks to Mr. Zhang that every village in the cloud can build a school." ”

Although Xie Zhi had planned to build a school, it was because of Mr. Zhang that this matter was put on the agenda.

Immediately afterwards, Xie Zhi asked again: "Are there many people who go to school every night?" ”

When he mentioned this, Huzi came to his senses and said excitedly: "Zhixian, it's the villain's turn to teach at night tonight, and Zhixian is going to take a look." ”

His son was also happy to show his face, and replied to Huzi, and said: "In the first few days, there were indeed few people, even if they went, they were just watching and playing, and then they gradually liked it, especially some of the arithmetic taught in the night school was very useful, and everyone liked to learn." ”

For Zhang Shi and other common people, some simple writing and arithmetic are the most practical.

Xie Zhi was also satisfied with this result, and didn't ask any more, and said: "Well, it's so good, learning something can always be useful, and if you get a deed in the future, at least you can see it clearly, and you don't have to worry about being deceived, Brother Zhang, you go and get busy." ”

There are also Emperor Hongzhi and a few courtiers here, and it is not appropriate for Xie Zhi to greet Zhang Shi all the time.

Zhang Shi didn't forget to take his son with him when he left.

At Huzi's age and temperament, only naughty and mischievous remained.

How could Huzi not give Zhang Shi any face, but wanted to stay, and said: "I still have something to say to the magistrate, Dad, go get busy." ”

Huzi refused to leave, and in front of Xie Zhi and others, Zhang Shi rolled up his sleeves and waved his fist at Huzi.

It is estimated that such a situation is often staged, and Huzi has already cultivated an agile skill, and when Zhang Shi raised his hand, he hid by Xie Zhi's side at a fast speed.

What can Xie Zhi do at this time, can he push Huzi out?

He could only smile and say to Zhang Shi: "Let Huzi stay, let him pour tea." ”

Since Huzi was needed to work, Zhang Shi no longer blindly called Huzi away, and admitted: "Okay, Huzi greets good guests." ”

"Got it!" Huzi answered, took the teapot directly from Xiao Jing's hand, and said, "I'll come!" ”

Someone came to pour tea, Xiao Jing was still happy, and unceremoniously gave this matter directly to Huzi.

Huzi held a teapot and filled each person's bowl with tea.

After the tea was full, Huzi asked beside Xie Zhi again: "Zhixian, tonight's night school will be taught by the villain, you haven't said whether you want to go and see it?" ”

Looking at Huzi's stunned appearance, Xie Zhi couldn't bear to refuse.

Alas, after all, he is too kind-hearted.

Xie Zhi smiled and replied, "It's okay to go, isn't there a big drama in your village tonight?" People from ten miles and eight villages have come to watch the play, and there are probably not many who go to night school, right? ”

This is really the truth, when there is a lack of entertainment projects, not to mention a big show, I am afraid that even a quarrel between neighbors can be watched by many people, right?

Huzi replied: "Mr. said that Xi Wen needs to be persistent, no matter what the situation is, it can't be interrupted, and no matter how late the night study will continue after the play tonight." ”

This is a good habit, Xie Zhi directly agreed this time, and replied: "In this way, then so-and-so must go." ”

After talking so much to the Zhang family's father and son, he couldn't snub the other people at the table.

Xie Zhi picked up the bowl and beckoned Huzi and shouted, "Go, go and fill each bowl with tea." ”

The boat and car were tired along the way, and the thirst was certain.

Huzi didn't say a word, so he took the teapot to store water.

After pouring a few glasses, the pot ran out of water.

Huzi held the pot, opened the lid of the pot and looked at it for a long time, and said, "There is no water, I'll go get it again." ”

After Huzi went out, Emperor Hongzhi spoke and asked, "The cost of each village school will not be less, right?" ”

That's a lot of money in the cloud.

Xie Zhi smiled slightly, and replied: "The centennial plan is based on education, civilization is the necessary foundation for development, although it is impossible for everyone in this school to become officials, but they can quickly learn etiquette, which is also an important part of education." ”

In front of these courtiers, there were some things that could not be said.

Everyone in the common people can read, then the scholars will be rotten on the street, and the special status of civil officials can slowly weaken and decline.

The most important thing is that the laws and policies of the imperial court, and even how the imperial court is, do not need to be publicized by the scholars at all, they can understand it.

The imperial court is not at all afraid of the demagogy of these civil officials behind their backs.

In this way, the problem of civilian-government groups huddling together for heating can be completely solved.

Emperor Hongzhi has always been in favor of this school issue.

Soon, Huzi came back with a teapot, and after coming back, he said: "Zhixian, Ah Duo also wants to enter the school, but unfortunately Mr. doesn't let her in, every day she and a few girls lie at the door to listen, and finally have to be found back by her family, can you let them go to study too?" ”

Xie Zhi is used to equality between men and women, and he really didn't think of this problem for a while.

This school has been set up, but those who can go to school are all men, but girls are not qualified for this.

Xie Zhi patted his head and said: "I forgot about this matter, how can I study by gender, and I discussed it with Wang Zhixian, it is necessary to run a women's school." ”

Before the words fell, Gu Pu on the side retorted and said, "Isn't it a joke in the world for women to enter school." ”

The Three Platforms and Five Constants have long been ingrained, and Xie Zhi will not refute them or cause this trouble.

If he had said anything about the theories of later generations, it is estimated that none of these people here would approve of it.

Xie Zhi smiled and said: "There is no distinction between high and low in reading, and how can there be any gender?" ”

Before Gu Pu could argue again, Huzi came forward and said, "What does the magistrate say about the things in the clouds that have nothing to do with you?" ”

Gu Pu couldn't tell his identity, nor could he deal with a child, his face was flushed, he looked at Emperor Hongzhi, and looked forward to Emperor Hongzhi to speak.

Although it is not easy for them to reveal their identities, as long as Emperor Hongzhi speaks, then this matter will be much easier.

But for a long time, I didn't see Emperor Hongzhi speak, but Xie Zhi said: "Since you are in the clouds, you are a guest, and you can have different opinions, and you have to discuss this matter with Wang Zhixian." ”

Now the magistrate in the cloud is not him, and if he has any ideas, he has to agree to Wang Shouren.

Huzi didn't say anything more, nodded in response and said no more.

Xie Zhi didn't say anything more, and Gu Pu couldn't hold on to this issue, even if there were different opinions on this matter, it was not the time to discuss it here.
