Chapter 320: Reading is never a happy thing
The day after Li Ze returned to Wuyi, he personally went to Wuwei Academy on the banks of the Sushui River. Along with him were Yao Jing, the current county magistrate of Wuyi, Yang Kai, the future deputy head of Wuwei Academy, Xia He, the money bag, and Li Mi.
Zhang Hui was personally invited back by Li Ze, and Wuwei Academy, he has high hopes, maybe he doesn't need it now, but in the future, there will be more places to count on them.
Li Ze's instruction to Xia He was to meet all the needs of the construction of Wuwei Academy as much as possible. But after coming back, from Xia He's expenditure details, the construction funds of Wuwei Academy were unexpectedly small.
Xia He has always been respectful of Li Ze's meaning, and Yao Jing didn't have the courage to deduct anything, which made Li Ze very puzzled. Today, I just want to come and see for myself, what kind of fame Zhang Hui is doing.
Facing the Sushui River and the mountains extending from the Daqing Mountains at the back, the scenery of Wuwei Academy is naturally nothing. The Sushui River was originally a hidden danger during the flood season, but after two years of continuous management in Wuyi, this situation has long ceased to exist. The slopes on both sides of the raised embankment are green and shaded, and the gorgeous wildflowers are dotted among them, and near the river, pieces of stones transported from the outside are all over the bottom of the embankment, resisting the first wave of the river for the embankment.
And in the embankment, the weeping willows that have not been planted for a long time are hanging down, dancing with the wind, one or two trees are not unusual, but they are like extending out in pieces, and it has become a scene. On the embankment, a piece of bluestone slabs are paved with pavement, grass, wild flowers, bluestone slabs, weeping willows, coupled with green mountains and green waters, here, it has become an excellent scenery in Wuyi.
When Li Ze saw Zhang Hui, the great Confucian was standing shirtless on the half-section of the wall, wielding a wooden hammer and vigorously beating the rammed earth between the two splints with his son Zhang Xun.
To tell the truth, every time he sees Zhang Hui exposing his strong body of healthy flesh and labor, Li Ze feels a little playful, where is this a big Confucian who is full of wealth, this is completely a reckless man! Coupled with that beard, he looks more like a fierce general than Tu Lichun.
There are naturally a lot of people who built Wuwei Academy, and Yao Jing of Wuyi County knows that the festival marshal Li Ze attaches great importance to this academy, and more importantly, Zhang Hui is like a legend for all scholars, and being able to get in close contact with this person is only the wish of the vast majority of scholars in the world. Not to mention anything else, just say that a college with Zhang Hui as the head of the mountain has settled in Wuyi, and his status as a county magistrate will immediately rise several grades.
It is precisely for these reasons that when building Wuwei Academy, he naturally selected the best craftsmen to ensure enough manpower, so why did he need Zhang Hui to end up in person?
But that's the style of the chapter.
Not only him, Li Ze saw that on the construction site, there were hundreds of people who did not work often at first glance, some old and some young, the older ones were more than forty years old, and the small ones were only less than twenty, and they were also holding their trouser legs and rolling up their sleeves, working in different places.
Teachers are working, how can those of them who are students stand by and watch?
Because of these hundreds of scholars who went to work in person, Zhang Hui also sent away some of the miscellaneous laborers, leaving only those necessary masters.
However, in this case, the efficiency can be greatly reduced.
Which masters, where did they have the courage to command these scholars who usually seemed to them to be high-minded in the first place? The two sides have been running in for a while, and the situation is a little better.
Yao Jing carried his robe, jumped on tiptoe and bypassed the messy building materials on the ground, trotted under the earthen wall, looked up at Zhang Hui above, and said, "Mountain chief, mountain chief, the handsome man is here." ”
Zhang Hui put the wooden hammer in his hand, looked at Li Ze who was walking in the distance, smiled, lost the wooden hammer, and jumped off the wall in a hurry, not only scared Yao Jing back a few steps, but even Li Ze in the distance was also frightened, this wall has been built for most of it, but it is really not short, he doesn't want the Dana he took the trouble to get back and broke his leg before he officially took office.
"Give me a handsome return, I'll go wash and come over." Dropping this sentence, Zhang Hui walked around the low wall.
Li Ze, who was rewarded by Yao Jing, was a little stunned, the last time he saw Zhang Hui, he didn't pay so much attention to it, he suddenly turned his head and glanced at Xia He beside him, and suddenly understood. The way he is now, it is indeed not suitable for him to appear in front of Xia He. As for Li Mi when they met last time, Li Mi with a helmet and armor is probably not a woman in Zhang Hui's eyes.
Li Ze stood in the center of the construction site, looking at the scattered scene, and couldn't help but shake his head, if the master craftsman commanded the ordinary workers to do it, maybe the main body of the academy should be almost completed.
The people around him, who were obviously scholars, all put down the work in their hands, bowed to Li Ze, and after giving a salute, they went to do their own work again. Only a slightly thin man in his forties dropped the basket in his hand and walked in front of Li Ze.
"Mr. Chunyu, where is the need for you to do these things yourself!" Li Ze hugged his fist towards the person in front of him. This person's name is Chun Yuyue, and he is also a friend of Gongsun Changming, who is especially good at the law, and is the heir of the Dharma.
Chun Yuyue smiled bitterly: "I really don't want to do it, I have this time, how good it is for me to ponder the law!" But Zhang Madman is such a character, he is the chief of the mountain, he spoke, I can't do it! Fortunately, in the past two years, I have been in Chang'an, in order to feed my family, I set up a set to catch rabbits, weave nets to catch fish and shrimp, and this body is quite strong, otherwise I really can't cope with it. ”
Li Ze laughed, "Mr. Chunyu's family is still used to living in Wuyi?" ”
"I really want to thank Dashuai for saving Chun Yu Yue in the midst of fire and water! Don't hide it, my two young children, since they arrived in Wuyi, have grown more than ten catties of meat. Chun Yuyue arched his hand and said: "Chun Yuyue has nothing to repay, so he can only sell everything he has learned to Li Shuai." ”
"The law is the foundation of the land! Over the years, the laws of our Datang Dynasty are about to be abandoned, and Mr. Chun Yu will have to worry a lot in the future, not only to teach disciples here, but also to serve in my festival town shogunate, and please don't be tired! ”
"I'm glad I can get two salaries!" Chun Yuyue said half-jokingly.
As he spoke, Zhang Hui, who had changed his clothes, had already strode over.
Birds rely on feathers, people rely on clothes, this is really true, when the chapter passed back the clothes of the scribe, walking unhurriedly, the temperament of the great literati instantly conveyed everyone's heart, even the full face and beard did not seem to affect his temperament that seemed to be soaked in the bones.
"Mr. Zhang, why is this so?" Li Ze pointed to the tired and sweaty scholars and said: "I invited them here to study with peace of mind, to be taught, or to help us preach and teach and solve doubts. ”
Zhang Hui first saluted Li Ze, then turned around, and arched his hand at Xia He, so panicked that Xia He hurriedly returned the salute, but there were also Yang Kai and Yao Jing present, but Zhang Hui ignored them.
Seeing that Xia He was a little flustered, Zhang Hui explained with a smile: "Mrs. Xia, I don't give you a salute because you are a handsome lady, but because I respect you as a woman, and you can actually master the financial plans of the eleven states of Wuwei Festival Town, I have been in Wuyi for more than a month, I have seen a lot, and I have heard a lot of people, you can handle such a big trouble as wealth in an orderly manner, you are talented, and Zhang Mou respects people but does not respect people." ”
"Thank you for the master's praise, the little girl is ashamed." Xia He felt a little proud in his heart, and once again owed himself a salute.
Zhang Hui smiled, turned his head to look at Li Zedao, and said, "I don't approve of what the marshal said just now. What is the use of reading books? The key is to apply what you have learned. ”
took out a roll of paper from his arms and unfolded it in front of Li Ze, "This is the Wuwei Academy designed by Dashuai himself, but please forgive me, Dashuai has changed a lot, this piece is opened up as farmland, and in addition to studying, the students have to cultivate it themselves, and the food and fruits that can be eaten as much as possible are all grown by themselves." ”
Li Ze smiled bitterly: "No matter how difficult Wuwei is, this bit of food, Wuwei Festival Town can still afford it." ”
"That's not the reason!" Zhang Hui smiled: "If you are studying here, it is very likely that you will be an official in the future, right?" ”
"Yes." Li Ze did not hide it: "Wuwei Academy is the place I use to accompany talents. ”
"Dashuai, do you hope that all the officials you will come to in the future will be people who don't know what the crops are? One by one, the four bodies are not diligent, and the grains are not divided? If you don't start it yourself, how can you know the hardships of farming, how can you know the hardships of farming, how can you know how to sympathize with the people, and how can you know that a meal and a grain are not easy to come by? ”
After speaking the reasoning, Li Ze was speechless.
"Not only do you have to farm, but you also have to go up to the mountains to cut firewood in the future." Pointing to the remaining veins of Daqing Mountain in the distance, Zhang Hui smiled.
"Mr. is the mountain chief of Wuwei Academy, so naturally Mr. is in charge." Li Ze could only nod again and again.
Seeing that Li Ze had nothing to say, Zhang Hui was even more excited: "Dashuai, this is the school field, the students still have to practice martial arts, the six arts of a gentleman, besides, now in troubled times, it is also necessary to have a good body and a good martial arts, my students, must not become the kind of person who has no power to restrain the chicken, even if it is a civil official, if the enemy comes, he can also rush up with a knife." ”
"Everything depends on Mr." Li Ze smiled bitterly: "But sir, if you change it like this, there will be no place for students to relax and entertain in the future." ”
"They're here to read, so there's time for fun? Even if there is, it's still a ritual during class, but Dashuai, I've decided to cut it back considerably. Not enough time. ”
"In this way, the students will inevitably be too bitter!"
"Reading is a hard thing to do, a tiring thing. If you want to study, you can't be afraid of hardship. What books do you read if you are afraid of hardship? Zhang Hui was dismissive.
(Well, the last few words are my personal entrainment!) I am a teacher, even if I have left the front line now, but I hate very much what some experts say bullshit happy education, education has always been a hard thing, reading is never happy, not easy, people are inert, we study not for pleasure, but to change the fate of knowledge, so no matter how hard you have to endure. )
