Chapter 86: The Yellow River Breaks

Are you saying that Zhang Yuan also set up an assessment system in Taixue? ”

There were faint candles floating in the dark palace, Liu Che sat on the upper seat, Zhang Tang bent down and stood below, and there was no one else in the hall.

"Yes, Your Majesty.

Taixue Ling seems to regard himself as the master of Taixue, and he doesn't take you seriously. ”

Zhang Tang's answer did not make Liu Che feel angry, but made Liu Che feel a little too deliberate, and the displeasure in his heart was also aimed at Zhang Tang.

"You just need to tell me what happened, and you don't need to make a judgment for me, you know?"

Feeling Liu Che's fierce eyes sweeping over his body, Zhang Tang couldn't help but tremble, and then couldn't help but kneel on the ground.

"Your Majesty, the minister is dead."

Liu Che has always been accustomed to making his own judgments, and he doesn't really want to do anything to Zhang Tang, at least when he is still useful.

"Alright, get up.

Go back and monitor Taixue's every move, since I have already let Taixue over to Zhang Yuan's hands, I don't have to care about this. ”

Zhang Tang dared to stand up and make a promise, and walked out tremblingly.

Liu Che closed his eyes and smiled playfully.

"Annual exams, quarterly exams, monthly exams? Interesting. ”

Du County Taixue.

Sure enough, as Zhang Yuan thought before, some students came to be officials and study knowledge, not to study scriptures.

Of the four hundred and thirty-two students, even in the midst of all the previous events, in the end, more than a hundred students were left without bowing under the disciples of various doctors and lecturers.

Naturally, it is more difficult for them to complete the assessment than ordinary people, but it is only some, because every day there will be doctors and lecturers giving public lectures in the front hall.

Even if Zhang Yuan is out of the exam paper, the test is nothing more than the content of the Five Classics, and there is no way to change this.

If you want to change, the first thing you have to do is to be the enemy of Dong Zhongshu.

The Taixue that Dong Zhongshu wants is the Taixue of Confucianism, not Legalism or Taoism.

He can tolerate Zhang Yuan adding three disciplines of arithmetic, heavenly officials, and historiography to it, but he will never allow "Tao Te Ching" or "Han Feizi" and "Shang Junshu" to appear in the assessment content of Taixue.

Zhang Yuan believes that the only consequence of doing this is that he will be taken off.

These more than 100 students, it is not that they are better than others, but the most important thing is that the doctor of the Five Classics cannot help him more, and may even cause some unnecessary stumbling and trouble because of the teacher's inheritance.

"Teacher, since the students know that the students have entered your door, this is the forty-second person who wants to come to the door to apprentice."

Yan Yi stood beside Zhang Yuan with a calm face, watching his teacher holding a copy of Daya from the Book of Songs and singing with relish.

It seems that he doesn't care about his own problems, but Yan Yi is also a person who doesn't talk much, and he fell silent after saying this.

Zhang Yuan sighed lightly, those who want to come to apprentice want to develop in their careers in the future.

There is a doctor in Taixue, and he still accepts apprentices, who still worships under the doctor of the Five Classics, then he will become a fool.

"You go and tell them, and they say I don't take students.

If they are blocked at the door like this, their usual performance score is not estimated to be too high. ”

"Is the latter sentence also truthful?"

"Yes."

A naked threat made the people who wanted to come to the apprenticeship disperse at once.

It seems that the threat of being ordered to quit school is relatively big, and Zhang Yuan has nothing to teach them, so accept so many students and occupy the proportion of the Taixue Ling Mansion all day long.

Yan Yi went out to drive away those students, and came back honestly to stand beside Zhang Yuan, waiting for Zhang Yuan's orders at any time.

"Do you think I haven't taught you anything since I took you in?"

Zhang Yuan felt a little embarrassed, so he turned around and asked Yan Yi.

"The students have already learned a lot, and if they want to learn the contents of the Pentateuch, they have already bowed to the Doctor of the Pentateuch."

"Then you also want to be an official?"

"The eldest husband was born in the world, and he reads the books of the sages, if he doesn't ask for his life for the people, why bother to go through such a situation."

Zhang Yuan didn't know his student very well, but he didn't hide it when he looked at him, and directly said his heart's wishes, and felt that this son could do it.

You must know that just now I drove away a bunch of Taixue students who wanted to be officials.

"That's true, but I can't teach you much about being an official.

Now as an official, he either holds a three-foot Qingfeng and turns around Mobei for thousands of miles, or he has a honey sword or a three-inch tongue.

I can't teach you either of these things, and the only thing I can teach you is to work hard in the fields, and only by being such an official can you say that you are for the people. ”

Zhang Yuan thought about it and pointed out a way for Yan Yishu.

"The teacher wants me to engage in farming?"

"Yes, this road may be hard, or you may not get much fame and fortune, but it is the most down-to-earth road.

When the people are fed, they will not rebel, and the world will be at peace.

If the people are able to have surplus food while they are full, they will have extra energy to do something else, and the economy will be revitalized.

If there is a surplus of food in the world, even if the imperial court levies conscription or sends troops to fight, the people will not waver, and they will still stand firmly on the side of the Son of Heaven.

No matter what dynasty, as long as the people can eat their stomachs, it is a prosperous age. ”

Yan Yi didn't understand these things, the most important thing was the word economy, which he had never heard of or seen.

However, he can interpret Zhang Yuan's general meaning, and the most important thing is the last sentence.

"But the students never had any of these experiences."

"There is nothing to learn, otherwise what do you want me to do as a teacher?"

"Students listen to the teacher's arrangement."

Zhang Yuan was about to continue to say something, but there was a sudden panic outside the door, so he got up and went over to take a look.

This door is not outside the door of the Taixue Ling Mansion, but outside the door of the courtyard where Zhang Yuan lives, which means that the panic is inside the Tai Xue Ling Mansion.

When Zhang Yuan went out, he found that some officials who were too learned were talking there, and when they saw Zhang Yuan coming out, they immediately fell silent.

"What are you arguing about?"

Zhang Yuan asked out loud.

"Back to the Taixue Order, I just got the news that the Yellow River burst its banks in Dongjun.

The sixteen counties were affected by the disaster, and we were discussing whether to reduce the needs of Taixue students, and the imperial court should need grain and grass for disaster relief at this time. ”

When Zhang Yuan heard this, his brows furrowed.

He knew about it, and remembered it very well.

Liu Che has not had a few poems handed down at all, two of which were written because of the bursting of the Yellow River, how could Zhang Yuan not remember it clearly.

Although his face was ugly, he was still very relieved that the officials in Taixue were able to think of reducing the amount of money to support the disaster area.
