Volume 3 Chapter 217 Rumors and Fame
The School of Physics on the bank of Yuyuan Lake is famous, and with Li Chunfang, Shen Lian and Yang Jisheng Jinbang High School, students continue to come and want to worship Yang Cong.
It's a pity that Yang Cong has already ordered someone to release his words, and his energy is limited, so he can't recruit more disciples.
So, what to do?
Find a relationship, find a way!
At this time, some people began to inquire desperately, inquiring about the specific situation of Yang Cong and the specific situation of the School of Physics.
With this inquiry, Yang Cong's reputation became even greater.
In the past, the scholars of the Ming Dynasty were only bored, talking about all kinds of rumors about Yang Cong, what defeated the Tartars, what exterminated pirates and pirates, what recovered Annam, what punished corrupt officials, and what opened up wasteland and expanded fields.
Some people think it's true, and some people think it's blown!
There are millions of scholars in the Ming Dynasty, and there are only tens of thousands of people who are really officials, except for those who are officials, and there are still certain connections in the imperial court, who really knows what Yang Cong has done.
Therefore, although Yang Cong was also very famous before, most of them were illusory names, and at least eighty or ninety percent of the people in the world did not know him so well, some admired him, some envied, some jealous, and even sneered.
In short, in the past, Yang Cong's name can be said to be in vain, most of the world's readers think that Yang Cong has nothing to do with them, and few people really understand him, most readers think that many of his rumors are blown out!
This time it was different, because the disciples he taught did not fail to participate in the imperial examination, and even three disciples passed the general examination and the palace examination, and they were among the best.
This, it has a lot to do with readers, because as long as you become a disciple of Yang Cong, you will be named on the ironclad gold list, and, if you are lucky, you may still be the top student in high school!
A soldier who doesn't want to be a general is not a good soldier, this is a widely circulated sentence in later generations, at this time, a similar sentence gradually began to circulate, a scholar who doesn't want to worship Yang Cong as a teacher is not a real reader.
Because you don't want to worship Yang Cong as a teacher, it means that you don't want to be named on the gold list!
Many scholars are racking their brains and desperately inquiring about Yang Cong's specific situation, hoping to find a way to worship Yang Cong's disciples.
After this inquiry, they found that the rumors about Yang Cong turned out to be true!
What defeated the Tartars, exterminated the pirates and pirates, recovered Annam, punished corrupt officials, and expanded the land are all true!
Is this still human?
This is simply God!
In the past, everyone really just regarded Yang Cong as a topic of nonsense when they were bored, but now, talking about Yang Cong's deeds has become a "necessary subject" for readers.
Now the way the reader greets slowly becomes, "Brother so-and-so, do you know Lord Yang Cong Yang, do you know how many earth-shattering things he has done?" ”
You have to answer yes, well, let's have a good talk.
You have to answer that you don't know, then get out, read Nima's hammer book, I haven't even heard of Yang Cong Yang's affairs!
Well, that's all for later, so I'll skip it for now.
In short, Yang Cong's reputation has really spread all over the circle of scholars, and there are not 100,000 who want to worship him, but hundreds of thousands.
Question, no matter how you inquire and how you trust the relationship, Yang Cong just won't accept apprentices, what should I do?
People who are impatient, or more frivolous, naturally give up, but there are also many people who have begun to find another way and begin to inquire about the situation of this physics college.
This inquiry, the opportunity came.
It turns out that there are still many schools in the School of Physics, except for Yang Cong, Tang Shunzhi, Luo Hongxian, Wang Xuan and others have not said that they will not recruit disciples.
Although these people are not as famous as Yang Cong, they are not close to Yang Cong, as long as they worship under their disciples, they are also a disciple of Yang Sect, not to mention whether they can be named on the gold list, at least they have more face.
As a result, many people began to find another way and wanted to worship Tang Shunzhi, Luo Hongxian, Wang Xuan and others.
Tang Shunzhi, Luo Hongxian, Wang Xuan and others really didn't say that they would not recruit disciples, especially Wang Xuan, his "demand" for disciples is quite large, because he is responsible for too many things, and the matter of building a steam engine is still very urgent, so naturally the more manpower, the better.
Of course, he will not recruit people indiscriminately, those who can't bear hardships and stand hard work, those who despise craftsmen, who just want to study, don't want to study things, he just wants those who can really bury their heads in studying the principles of learning from him.
Well, in fact, they didn't say that their disciples could no longer participate in the imperial examination, but the things they usually taught were mainly based on Gewu, the Four Books and the Five Classics or something, and they basically didn't teach them.
This kind of requirement is indeed a bit strange, and the things taught here are even more strange.
However, there are also many scholars who are the children of craftsmen themselves, or those who are already hopeless in the imperial examination and just want to find a way out, they don't care if they are strange or not, as long as they can enter the School of Physics.
Can the disciples of the Yang Sect still have no future, even if they can't pass the exam, they can't be named on the gold list, and there are other people who are not, Li Chunfang, Shen Lian, and Yang Jisheng are all powerful people who are ranked in the first and second ranks, can they have no future with them?
As a result, the popularity of the School of Physics is getting stronger and stronger, and the hardware school is even more overcrowded, and there are more and more students who come here.
They gradually discovered that during this time, the School of Physics seemed to be doing something big.
Mr. Wang Xuanwang often rolled up his sleeves and went into battle in person, tinkering with a steam engine.
Lord Yang Cong Yang is even more with a large group of laborers, and he is tinkering around Yuyuan Lake all day long, digging pits and burying stones, and he doesn't know what he wants to do.
Gradually, in addition to the fence, there was another circle around the perimeter of the physics school, which was a bit strange, that is, a foundation several meters deep, and then paved with stones, about a foot above the ground.
What is this Lord Yang going to do?
If you want to build a wall or a city wall or something, just dig a foundation, why fill so many stones, shouldn't the foundation be filled with big stones?
Someone who inquired about it, and finally inquired, it turned out that Lord Yang was going to build a "railway".
What is the railway, no one can inquire clearly, in short, this thing is related to the emperor, the emperor seems to have said something, and Lord Yang will do it so hard.
No one doubts this, because the plaques of the School of Physics are all inscribed by the emperor's imperial pen, and the relationship between Lord Yang and the emperor is not ordinary.
The relationship between Yang Cong and the Lu family is not a secret, he is the son-in-law of the Lu family, the Lu family moved from Chengtian Mansion, and the wife of the old lady of the Lu family, Li, is the emperor's nurse, and the emperor is good to his own nurse.
In other words, Yang Cong is the emperor's "brother-in-law".
Well, this "brother-in-law" is indeed a rumor, but the rumors are disturbing, who knows if it is true or not, in short, Yang Cong's reputation is getting louder and louder.
