Chapter Sixty-Seven: Mao Nicai
Zhang Tang smiled when he saw Zhang Yuan, and didn't ask any questions.
Du County is actually not very large, even before, the population did not reach 100,000.
Compared with the prosperous places of Maoling-eup, Changling-eup, and Yangneung-eup, it is still a lot worse.
It was because of the small size of Du County that Liu Che was able to directly give up such a city without causing too many objections.
"Doctors, now you think that this Du County is a place for Taixue teaching, but what is missing?"
Han Ying and Zhang Sheng will definitely not object, Zhang Yuan's question is actually asking the other three doctors, of course, the most important thing is Hu Wusheng.
Obviously, although he himself said that he was not very familiar with Dong Zhongshu, from the matter of Taixue, it was clear that this old guy was Dong Zhongshu's spokesperson in Chang'an.
Otherwise, if Dong Zhongshu sent a letter to Chang'an, someone would immediately start to add fuel to the fire?
"Taixue can make one person in charge, the old man will definitely not go to farming in the future, and when the time comes, it will depend on Taixue's money is not enough to operate, you don't let us old guys go out of the city to dig wild vegetables to eat."
Hu Wusheng said to Zhang Yuan angrily, very reluctantly.
Although the city was not deserted, there were a lot of weeds growing everywhere, Zhang Yuan squatted down and played in the grass until he found a wild vegetable.
"Does the Doctor know the name of this grass?"
Hu Wusheng glanced at it and said.
"There are thousands of types of plants and trees in this world, even Shennong can't recognize them all, how can the old man recognize them?"
Zhang Yuan pulled out the wild vegetables and said with a light smile.
"This grass is called Mao Nicai, which is a famous wild vegetable in the Guanzhong area, and many families who can't eat eat on it.
Dr. Hu doesn't even know Mao Nicai, and you still want to go out of the city to dig wild vegetables to eat.
With all due respect, an old guy like you will only starve to death if you are put outside the city, or you will be poisoned, and you will still dig wild vegetables?
Ladies and gentlemen, I said at the court meeting yesterday that the original intention of our generation to establish Taixue was to establish a heart for heaven and earth, a life for the people, a continuation of learning for the saints, and peace for all generations.
What does it mean to make a living for the people? And how did the people settle down? What are these wild plants growing between heaven and earth for?
Don't think that if you enter Taixue and become a teacher, you only need to impart knowledge.
Since Dr. Taixuezhi is to continue his studies for the sake of the saints, he must know how to teach students according to their aptitude and understand the principle of teaching students to be people first and then do things.
I, Zhang Yuan, don't talk nonsense, and after I go back today, I will write a note to Your Majesty asking for Hu Wusheng's "Spring and Autumn" doctorate to be relieved. ”
Hu Wusheng listened to Zhang Yuan's words, and was not angry, and said with a sneer.
"If the old man is not a doctor, who can hold this position?"
"Sun Hong, the Duke of Zichuan, can be appointed as a doctor, and besides, there are many disciples under Xiahou Shichang, what is the difficulty of choosing one person to be a doctor?"
Zhang Yuan mentioned the two of them again and again, and Hu Wusheng knew that Zhang Yuan had really done his homework.
Hu Wusheng is the successor of Gongsun Hong's doctorate, and Xiahou Shichang is the only person who can be called a Confucian in the world, and there are countless disciples, and many scriptures are from his disciples.
"In the future, Taixue will allow one person to conclude the matter of Taixue, and the old man will not say more."
Seeing that Hu Wusheng was soft, Zhang Yuan let him go for the time being.
At least because Hu Wusheng is such a person, he can't ruin the relationship with Dong Zhongshu.
These people are very bad, and there is a Zhang Tang in front of him, reminding Zhang Yuan all the time how terrible a person can be.
"Patriarchs, if you look at Du County today, the preliminary plan is like this.
I also hope that you can let your family first demolish all the buildings in the northeast corner of Du County, and after I return to Chang'an, I will ask Your Majesty to send craftsmen to build Taixue. ”
The patriarchs of several families have spoken up to promise.
Zhang Yuan didn't let them contribute, for the time being, he just made a contribution, and it was nothing compared to letting them move back to Du County.
Everyone knows that Taixue is now in Du County, and in the future, if the people of Du County want to enter Taixue to study, it will be much more convenient than people in other places.
Zhang Yuan did not go back to Chang'an with such a group of people, but rode his horse to Lantian Mountain.
This time, Zhang Yuan brought some good things with him, all of which were the Five Classics copied by Hu Wusheng and other doctors on paper by themselves.
Printing is also a big deal, and when Taixue officially recruits students, it can't let those students copy it slowly.
As for the engraving, these manuscripts are particularly precious, and Zhang Yuan also asked these doctors to sign their names and affix seals, and then they will be passed down from generation to generation directly at home.
Zhangfu is now involved in the coal mining business of Shu County and the share of papermaking, which has become quite wealthy.
These people in the family are also making more and more money every month, and everyone is full of energy.
There is no such thing anywhere else, and once the slave sells himself, he will never have any money, and the tenants will have to pay the master's house.
Exploitation is never-ending, and it can also be said that greed has no bottom line, and this sentence is particularly precious when placed there.
Therefore, even if the technology spreads the technology of the paper made by Zhangfu in the future, the quality will definitely be the best, and everyone knows that the more you sell, the more money you can make, and you will naturally be attentive.
It was the height of summer, and many of the children of Zhang's Mansion were wandering in the melon fields.
Watermelons are not only loved by people, but also by those birds and animals, so many melon sheds were built in the fields, so that these half-sized children watched here.
Seeing Zhang Yuan riding a fast horse towards his home, many boys immediately got up and ran behind the butt of the war horse.
Zhang Yuan looked at it and could only envy that these children had really good energy, all of them had ADHD, if they could be idle, they would definitely not be able to lie down on the chair.
arrived at the door in an instant, and Lao Zhao immediately greeted him and helped Zhang Yuan lead the horse.
"Family master, the villain thought that you would stay in Chang'an for a while this time."
Everyone in the family also knew that Zhang Yuan was going to become a big official.
"Well, I'll stay at home for a day, and I'll rush back to Chang'an early tomorrow morning."
After walking in, Zhang Yuan took out the five manuscript Confucian classics from his arms.
"Lao Zhao, you're going to be busy next."
Lao Zhao took the five classics and asked with some surprise.
"Master, do you want the villain to carve the contents of these books on wooden boards, and then print and revise them into a book?"
Zhang Yuan nodded.
"Yes, and you can only do it alone, this batch of books is extremely important, and the printed products must be unified, and it doesn't look like it was made by one person."
"Then the villain will go and prepare."
"Okay."
