Gan Qi replied with a smile: "Originally, there were only more than 1,000 people, but recently there are more and more than 3,000 people, and they can't sit down, and many people who are listening to the lecture have no place to stand." ”

Wang Anshi directly showed a look of shock on his face, but he was also a little disbelieving, and asked, "Can there really be so many people listening to a lecture in one academy?" ”

A private school in a college is the most remarkable, and there are a lot of three or five hundred people. Even in places like Jiangnan, where the literary style is at its peak, a academy cannot exceed the number of two or three hundred people.

Three or four thousand people listened to the lecture together, and such a scene had never been seen in history. There is no such a big place to accommodate these people, can the academy still be built like a palace hall?

This is how one can believe.

Gan Qi knew that Wang Anshi didn't believe it, in fact, Gan Qi himself couldn't believe it, now in the theater, whenever he wants to speak, all the tables, chairs and benches must be moved out, and then after being crowded, there are still many people who can't enter, so they can only wait outside the theater, waiting for other people's notes to watch.

Wang Anshi didn't believe it, and there was no way, Gan Qi had to smile and said: "Wang Zhizhou will go with him tomorrow, and he will know." ”

When Wang Anshi first entered the capital, he didn't know much about Gan Qi's recent affairs in the capital, but he just inquired a little on the side of the street, and when he was suspicious, Wang Anshi didn't think much about it, and only said: "It's okay, I'll go to Nancheng tomorrow." ”

"I don't know where Wang Zhizhou lives in Beijing? In which inn or in which inn? Tomorrow morning, I will send someone to pick up Wang Zhizhou. Ganchi said.

Wang Anshi waved his hand and replied: "Don't be so troublesome, just leave an address, early tomorrow morning, I will go to Nancheng by myself." ”

Gan Qi didn't get entangled, and said directly: "Outside the Nancheng wharf, there is a pear orchard spring, after Zhizhou goes out of the city, just ask around, you can find it, and tomorrow I will wait there for Zhizhou." ”

Wang Anshi nodded, got up, and said goodbye: "Then I'll see you tomorrow and say goodbye." ”

"Zhizhou walks slowly." Gan Qi sent a few steps.

Wang Anshi went out, but there were many accidents in his heart. The most unexpected thing is that Gan Qi is so young, Wang Anshi didn't say it to his face, but when he knew that Gan Qi was a young man who had not reached the crown, he was actually very surprised. In addition to the surprise, there was curiosity, especially curiosity about how there were thousands of people in the academy who listened to the lecture together, and why thousands of people could go to Gan Qi to listen to the lecture.

After curiosity, it is natural to have the idea of finding out. Even not long after Wang Anshi came out of the Beijing Times, he was already looking for someone to ask some more things about Ganqi.

The more I asked, the more surprised I became, Wang Anshi only heard about Wen Yanbo's resignation on the way to Beijing, and only then did he know that Wen Yanbo's resignation had something to do with this young Gan Qi.

After listening to Gan Qi's stories, Wang Anshi was surprised, and only then did he understand why thousands of young students in Bianliang went to Gan Qi to listen to the lectures, and he was even more curious about Gan Qi.

Early in the morning of the second day, when the genius was bright, Wang Anshi got up and went out of the city.

It's just that Wang Anshi went too early, and Liyuanchun found it, but this Liyuanchun is not what the academy looks like, with doubts, Wang Anshi sat at a roadside stall and ate some simple breakfast.

The little guy who was waiting next to him also asked, "Master, didn't you come to the wrong place?" It doesn't look like a seowon either. ”

Wang Anshi looked up at the plaque again, and said, "Liyuan Spring, that's right." But this name really doesn't look like a academy, Liyuan, isn't it a sideshow? ”

Wang Anshi put down a bowl of noodle soup, and saw that at this time, in the direction of Bianliang City, a group of young Confucian students walked quickly, and after a while, the stall buying a piece of noodle soup was full of people, and the stall owner also greeted many young students: "It's all here, it's early today." ”

Then a bachelor replied: "If you are not afraid, you will not be able to enter, hurry up, wait for me a bowl, eat enough to listen to the lecture." ”

Originally, it was singing in the morning and talking in the afternoon, so in order not to affect the business, Gan Qi changed the time.

The stall owner also smiled and said, "My senior official is still early, so he must have just gotten up." ”

"It should be so, to study and study, it is a word, if Mr. Gan got up earlier than me, then it should not be."

After Wang Anshi finished eating the noodles, he took the initiative to stand up, gave up his seat to the students who had just arrived, listened to the words of many students, and said to himself: "This young Mr. Gan, you can't be underestimated, you were snub yesterday." ”

The little guy on the side replied when he heard this: "Master, you are a Jinshi in the second year of Qingli, the first name of the second class, from the order of the fifth grade, to see a young man, how can you still be lazy?" ”

Wang Anshi's face was straight, and he said: "You people, you have been in a small place for a long time, you have no knowledge, and you have ever seen people who sacrifice their lives for righteousness?" If a person can be respected by many people, he must have something extraordinary, and he must have a precedence in hearing the Tao, but he must not underestimate others, and he cannot judge the level by his age. In the future, if I really become an official in Tokyo, you should also learn how to deal with people, and you should not bring the atmosphere of a small place to Tokyo. ”

Wang Anshi's words seemed to be teaching his subordinates. In Changzhou, it's not the same as in Tokyo. In Changzhou, Wang Anshi is the governor of a state, and these subordinates in the family see everyone with a lofty posture, and everyone sees them, and they are also courteous and respectful.

But when you enter Tokyo, it's different, and if these subordinates still have such a high-minded attitude, it will definitely be a bad thing.

"The master is right, in the city of Tokyo, naturally it is not comparable to Changzhou, and the little ones dare not be arrogant, and they will definitely not cause trouble for the master." This little guy is also very smart.

Wang Anshi nodded, and on the road in the distance, a steady stream of students came. Wang Anshi's complexion gradually changed. Three or four thousand people, I thought it was Gan Qi talking to himself, with the element of boasting.

At this time, Wang Anshi knew that what he said was true.

The tables, chairs and benches in the theater began to move outside, and even many students went in to help move them.

In a few moments, the students entered the theater early to take their seats and stood and waited. The morning sun has risen, but there is still a steady stream of people coming outside the door, and then beating their chests and sighing, saying that next time they must come earlier.

At this time, Gan Qi came slowly, but he also went to the stall opposite the theater first, and said: "Uncle Seven, serve me two bowls of noodles, one bowl is not enough." Give them two bowls as well. ”

The stall owner smiled and said: "Big official, old man, I will change a big bowl for you, and add a big piece of mutton to you, one bowl is enough for you to eat." ”

"Thank you, Uncle Seven." Gan Qi sat down and waited, raised his eyes and looked at Wang Anshi, who was driving not far away, and hurriedly got up and left.
