Chapter 34—A Friend Comes from Far Away (2)
The carriage slowly drove into the cottage of Kotei, and the cobblestone road winded all the way forward.
Inside and outside the house, the sound of reading aloud came to my ears.
Zi said: When you learn it, you will learn it, and you will not say it......" This is a recitation of the Analects.
"The king of Chuzhuang killed Chen Xia Zhengshu, and "Spring and Autumn" derogated his text and did not discuss it; The Spirit King killed Qi Qingfeng, and called Chu Zi, why not? ......"This is reading and reciting "Spring and Autumn Dew".
"Guan Guan pheasant dove, ...... in the state of the river" This is reading the Book of Songs.
……………………
In the entire Jiating, almost every household, there is the sound of reading.
Lu Wen listened, extremely strange.
In these two households, some people are reading, which is reasonable.
But every household recites poetry? What the hell is this?
Could it be that the great harmony of the world predicted by the master was first realized in Jiating?
That's not right!
It's even more unreasonable!
As a scholar, Lu Wen knows too well how difficult it is for an ordinary family to cultivate a scholar!
Basically, 90 percent of the world's families do not have the ability to train a literate reader.
With doubts, Lu Wen stopped the carriage, and then bowed to the young man in the carriage and said, "Childe, I'll ask for directions......"
The young man was very excited now, and when he heard this, he also jumped out of the carriage and said, "Lu Sheng, you and I can go together......
He was influenced by his father since he was a child, and he liked and was close to literati.
Now, I heard the sound of reading from so many families in this Jiating, and I was naturally very happy.
A village with such a literati meant that he had access to many young scribes.
The two of them walked together to a bamboo hut, knocked lightly on the door, and soon a young scribe came to open it.
Seeing Lu Wen and the young man who were obviously dressed as Confucians, he was stunned at first, and then smiled: "The two of you also came to Jiating to ask Zhang Sheng for scriptures?" ”
"Huh?" Lu Wen said: "Isn't the driver from Jiating?" ”
"Yes...... I...... Yang Xun of Baling Fengyi ...... "The scribe is the first to do it."
"Taixue Lu Zihui ......" Lu Wen hurriedly returned the salute, Zihui is his cousin, which is given by his father's senior brother, the late Ram Master Wuqiu Shouwang, taken from the "Book of Songs": the end of Wen and Hui, Shu Shen is cautious.
The young man also smiled in return: "Tai student Wang Jin ......" It's just that he obviously thought about it for a while when he said his name, but Yang Xun didn't have the heart to pay attention to this.
He was intimidated by Lu Wen's identity as 'Wang Jin'.
Too student?!
He hurriedly bowed: "I've seen two Ming Gong!" ”
The country's too student, that is the future feudal two thousand stone officials!
To the end, it is also the state and county lord Bo, all post.
Not only that, behind every Tai student, there is a famous man who is respected by the world and respected by the world.
"The two Ming Princes are here to visit Zhang Sheng?" Yang Xun was a little restrained and a little trembling in front of Lu Wen and Wang Jin.
"Hmm...... I don't know where Brother Zhang's house is? Lu Wen asked.
"It's a hundred steps ahead, and there are a lot of bamboo huts at the door...... Yang Xun replied.
"By the way, Brother Yang......" Lu Wen suddenly asked: "Jun is not from this Jiating, how can he live in the Jiating Mansion?" And I'm here, I heard the sound of reading in almost every household in Jiating? What's going on? ”
"Don't dare to hide the ...... from the public," Yang Xun heard this, and said with a smile: "We are all scholars who are staying in the private house of Jiating......"
"Huh?"
Yang Xun then introduced the current situation of this Jiating for the two.
After listening to each other's introductions, Lu Wen and Wang Jin looked a little strange and looked at each other.
According to Yang Xun, in the Jiating, the situation like this has been maintained for two or three days.
The scholars who came here to borrow and transcribe the books were all arranged by Zhang Zizhong, who had not shown up so far, to live in these Jiating houses.
Ten cents a day is paid to the pavilion chief and the people for lodging.
In addition, the people must also be paid money for daily daily meals.
According to their respective financial resources, if they want to eat well, they should give more money, and those who are short of money can also eat hot meals.
The people were very happy when they got the benefits.
The scholars were also very happy to have a quiet, comfortable, and peaceful place to copy the scriptures.
If you really can't afford to pay for accommodation and food, it doesn't matter, there are multiple options to choose from.
First, do it yourself, have enough food and clothing, and build a bamboo shed on the floor of this pavilion or in the village.
It's just that the night is a bit miserable, and I have to be bitten by mosquitoes.
The second is to serve as a teacher for the children in the village, teaching them to learn and write.
According to Yang Xun, there are now seven or eight scholars in the pavilion who are willing to teach children to read for free.
Basically, the children under the age of fourteen in the entire pavilion would gather together every night and divide into groups to be taught by these lessons.
It wasn't these things that shocked Lu Wen and Wang Jin.
It's something hidden beneath the surface of these things.
Who doesn't know that literati doctors have been free and loose since ancient times?
Want to make these people obedient?
Hard!
It can even be said that it is difficult to go to the sky.
After all, there is no first place in literature, and there is no second in martial arts......
Perhaps, it is simple to make a literati obedient, but let these more than 100 or even more scholars obediently obey orders, obey the arrangement, and willingly enlighten the children of the people in the pavilion and teach them to read.
That's ......
At least, Lüwen knew that it was extremely difficult.
In particular, this Zhang did not have much fame before his death, and he lacked enough prestige in the local area.
"How the hell did he do that?" Lu Wen thought to himself.
But one thing is certain—this Zhang Sheng must have convinced all the scholars who came to Jiating.
Wrong, how can this pavilion be so orderly? So orderly?
You have to know that the literati and doctors of the day, once they get together, they either drink or debate.
If you drink too much wine, you will inevitably have conflicts, and even draw your sword on the spot, with white knives coming in and red knives coming out.
Debate is even more terrifying.
Being put to the foot of a wall, being ashamed of oneself, and fighting on the spot is a common occurrence in the world.
But from Yang Xun's words, it was never mentioned that the above two things had happened in this Jiating.
It seems that from the very beginning, order here has been quite stable.
Wang Jin was very happy.
The matter of this Jiating is much more interesting than that of him at home.
At this moment, I don't know who shouted: "Zhang Shengkai is talking......"
With a bang, the doors of every house opened.
Dozens of scholars, hurriedly holding the book and rushing out, Yang Xun didn't even care about talking to Lu Wen, he picked up his book and walked quickly, and said as he walked: "Two, I have to hurry up and grab a seat, if I go late, there will be no good seat, and it is not good to ask Zhang Sheng to ask Yila ...... in person."
"Huh?" Lu Wen was stunned.
Zhang Zi is important?
Well, he can write the twenty-eight meanings of the Spring and Autumn Period, and he does have the qualifications to speak.
It's just that...... You are running so fast and so actively, is this heavy lecture really so important? So interesting? So do you pay attention to it?
Lu Wen remembers very clearly, that is, on the day his father gave a lecture in his hometown, the local scholars were probably not as active as the scholars in front of him, right?
I am afraid that only on the day when Dong Zi was alive, when he gave a lecture in Maoling, those scholars who went to observe could have such an attitude and such an enthusiastic urgency......
However, how old is that Zhang Zizhong this year?
Less than twenty, I'm afraid?
Don't...... What did he write that can be compared to the twenty-eight meanings of the Spring and Autumn Period?
