Chapter 339 Only Reading is High

"Rich families don't need to buy fertile land, there are thousands of bells in the book. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoThere is no need to raise a hall to live in peace, and there is a golden house in the book. Don't hate to go out with no one, there are many cars and horses in the book. Don't hate unscrupulous matchmakers when marrying a wife, there is Yan Ruyu in the book. If a boy follows his life's aspirations, he reads the Six Classics to the window. ”

Emperor Zhenzong's poem "Persuading Students" to read and make progress, although it has a distinct utilitarian tendency, it quickly spread among the people in a short period of time, which shows that it really hit the hearts of the people of the Great Song Dynasty.

Although in the mouth of the readers of the Great Song Dynasty and the Great Song Dynasty, reading the book of sages and sages is a reason-aware and extremely noble thing, but it is true that most of the readers are going to the fame and fortune mentioned in Emperor Zhenzong's "Persuasion Poems", and most of the readers actually have obvious utilitarian tendencies in their hearts.

Of course, there are some people who do study with the intention of preaching, but most of the scholars actually regard this reading of the books of the sages as a stepping stone to the upper class, nothing more than a stepping stone to the pursuit of fame and fortune.

It is precisely because Emperor Zhenzong's "Persuasion Poem" said what this scholar thought in his heart, and it was immediately sought after by the people of the Great Song Dynasty as soon as it was made, which shows that fame and fortune are what everyone wants to pursue.

However, Emperor Zhenzong's "Persuasion Poems" said that this book has its own fertile land, mansions, chariots and horses, and beauties, although everyone wants, but it is superficial.

In fact, this reading and scientific examination really aims to improve social status. In the era of the Great Song Dynasty, which was the official standard, there was no doubt that officials were the group of people at the top of society. The students passed the reading and scientific examination, and once the carp with the title of the gold list jumped over the dragon gate, they thought that they could become officials and truly entered the ruling class. And once you enter the ruling class, naturally this fame and fortune will naturally come.

Zhong Hao is now considered to be the ruling class, and his social status is naturally at the top. In fact, this house, fertile land and other things, after he became an official, it was actually very easy for him to want to own, and there were many ways to obtain it. He is not a saint, if the power in his own hands can be without harming the interests of the imperial court, he does not mind seeking some benefits for himself. Therefore, in fact, Zhong Hao was not so excited about the house given to him by Gao Deli.

But after all, this is the intention of his two apprentices, and there are not too many gray things such as requests and bribes, so Zhong Hao naturally accepted their intentions.

Although it can't be said that his two apprentices didn't give him this gift because of their status as jinshi, Zhong Hao can still feel that at least most of it is because they are grateful for teaching them skills and making their lives change.

………………………………

After three rounds of drinking, Gao Deli looked at his son Huzi, and couldn't help but think of asking Zhong Hao to guide Huzi's knowledge.

At that moment, Gao Deli asked Zhong Hao: "Master, how long have you been in Qingzhou this time?" ”

Zhong Hao listened to Gao Deli's words, and couldn't help sighing: "Alas, I'm afraid I won't stay long, people are in the officialdom, and I can't help myself." The master still has an errand arranged by the official family, and in a few days, I will go to Dengzhou! ”

When Gao Deli heard Zhong Hao's words, he couldn't help but be a little disappointed. Originally, he also wanted to ask his master to give him some guidance on Xiaohuzi's knowledge! There are not many Jinshi in this Great Song Dynasty, and there are not many opportunities to get a Jinshi to guide knowledge.

In the era of the Great Song Dynasty, ordinary children from poor families were born scholars, but they rarely had the opportunity to get the guidance of a teacher who was born as a jinshi. If you can get a jinshi to guide you to some tips, it will really benefit these readers.

In the Great Song Dynasty, most of the teachers were scholars who had studied for a few years, but had not made much progress in the scientific examination, and could not even pass the solution test.

Generally, those who can pass the test are rarely teachers! After all, for them, since they can take the solution test once, most of them are confident that they have taken the solution test again. They have to prepare for the scientific examination, and they really can't get by until they have to, and they rarely go to private schools to teach students.

In their opinion, even if the opening of the museum can make life a little better, it is not worth wasting so much time to study. Most of them feel that even if it is a bit of hardship now, but once they carp jump over the dragon gate and be able to be named on the gold list, they will have everything at that time, and there will be no shortage of fame and fortune.

Another point is that even if it is difficult for these scholars to cross the dragon gate in the scientific examination and there is no progress, it is rewarding to study and prepare for the exam with peace of mind. Because since the time of Emperor Zhenzong, in order to encourage the people to study, there is a rule that if the person who has taken the examination has passed the examination five times, but has not been able to pass the provincial examination, then the imperial court will give the same Jinshi background. Therefore, in the eyes of these readers who think that they can pass the exam, they naturally have to study hard and strive to take the exam several times. As long as you can pass the solution test, even if you can't pass the provincial test, as long as you pass the test five times, you can still get a fellow jinshi background.

Moreover, although the Great Song Dynasty does not have the fame of children and talents, and the lifting of people is also a one-time thing, but the imperial court still has some preferential treatment for those who have taken the examination and the solution test.

Therefore, for these readers who consciously can pass the exam, they are also full of motivation for this reading and scientific examination. It is precisely because of this that most of the people who can pass the exam feel that the hardships are also cost-effective, so few go to the museum to accept apprentices.

Even those who can pass the examination are reluctant to open a museum, and this can rely on the middle jinshi to naturally open a museum to accept disciples. To be able to pass the Jinshi examination is naturally to rise and fall in the Huan Sea, only those who are frustrated in the officialdom or idle at home will occasionally teach the students' studies.

Why is it so easy to get out of the Jinshi family of poetry and books? Among them, the reading experience and test-taking skills that have been passed down from generation to generation in the Jinshi family are very crucial.

You must know that this year is not as developed as the information of later generations, and there are not so many exam experiences and reading notes that can be downloaded from the Internet.

There are very few ordinary people who can get together the Four Books and Five Classics, let alone any reading experience and test-taking skills. If you just bury your head in hard study and don't know the tricks of taking the scientific examination, compared to those children of the family, you will get half the result when you participate in the scientific examination.

Therefore, if an ordinary scholar from a poor family can get a Jinshi to guide him in learning or scientific examination, it will really be of great benefit.

It was precisely because this opportunity to get Jinshi's guidance was so rare that Gao Deli heard that Zhong Hao had only been in Qingzhou for a short period of time, but after thinking for a while, he still pleaded: "The apprentice has a reluctant request, and I hope the master will forgive me." Master, if you have time to spare, can you help guide you as a disciple of Sun Huzi's knowledge? ”

Zhong Hao listened to Gao Deli's words, pondered for a moment, and said: "I have been in Qingzhou for these days, and it is no problem to have time to point out the tricks of Huzi's scientific examination, but it is best to teach these tips to Huzi when he participates in the scientific examination, and it is too early now." As for this matter of learning, the guidance of three or five days seems to be of little use. I might as well let Huzi study at Songlin Academy as soon as possible! ”

Gao Deli said with a bitter face: "I'm afraid that at Huzi's age and current level of knowledge, it is very difficult to take the Songlin Academy!" ”

When Zhong Hao heard this, he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. This matter is indeed a bit troublesome, although Xu Shanchang still attaches great importance to himself, but he is notoriously not favoritism, if Zhong Hao goes to intercede, I am afraid that he will be able to turn his face immediately.

Zhong Hao felt that he could only think that there was a way to help Xiaohuzi go through Xu Feng's door. Zhong Hao didn't mean to let Xu Feng help intercede, but to let Xu Feng train Xiaohuzi. Now is not the time for Songlin Academy to enroll students, if you want to take the Songlin Academy exam, I am afraid that Xu Shanchang will personally take the school examination. Zhong Hao felt that although it was not easy to ask Xu Shanchang to let Xiaohuzi enter Songlin Academy directly, it should still be possible to get Xu Shanchang to agree to the school examination Xiaohuzi.

That's why Zhong Hao wanted Xu Feng to guide and train Xiaohuzi. After all, Xu Feng knows his father Xu Shanchang very well, and his knowledge is not low, let him think about what Xu Shanchang might take the test and what type of students he likes, and then let him point out Xiaohuzi, so that when Xiaohuzi takes Xu Shanchang's exam, he can do what he likes and strive to be admitted to Songlin Academy.

Zhong Hao thought of this, and immediately said to Gao Deli: "Little Huzi enters the Songlin Academy, I'll try to think of a way!" ”

Gao Deli was overjoyed and hurriedly said: "Then thank you master!" As he spoke, he said to Xiaohuzi: "Huzi, don't hurry up and thank your master!" ”

Huzi listened to Gao Deli's words, and hurriedly said: "Huzi thanked Shigong!" ”

Zhong Hao smiled and waved his hand: "It's all your own people, you're welcome!" ”

……………………………………

After talking about Huzi, Gao Deli and Gao Defu couldn't help but talk to Zhong Hao about their feelings after parting.

In the past three years, Zhong Hao has not been in Qingzhou, and he has never asked about the quality of the business of this "natural residence" and how much it shares. As for those dividends, they were all given by Gao Deli, and the money was also given to Feng's.

Of course, Gao Deli is naturally sincere to Zhong Hao, a master who is an official outside, and this account book is done clearly, and he has never missed his master's thirty percent of the dividends. Every time he sent dividends to Feng, he would let Feng's go through the account books.

In Gao Deli's view, there is no "natural home" today without his own master, and he is grateful in his heart, and naturally the master's dividends are indispensable. Besides, his master is an official, and it's too late to make friends and give more dividends, so Gao Deli will naturally not be stupid enough to deduct those dividends, so that this official master is resentful.

Today, taking advantage of this opportunity, Gao Deli seriously reported to Zhong Hao about the business development and income of 'Natural Residence' in recent years.

The business of "Natural Residence" has been very good in recent years, and now it has opened three more branches. The business of these three branches is also mainly engaged in stir-fried vegetables, and the business is really good. As for the shochu workshop, for the sake of the secrecy of the brewing process, it is still managed by Gao Deli himself, and there is only a workshop in this "natural residence" head office. As for the drinks in the branches, they are all uniformly rationed by the main store.

Gao Deli told Zhong Hao about the situation of this "natural residence" in the past few years, and called Xiao Bolt again, asking him to bring the account books of the past few years and let Zhong Hao check it.

Zhong Hao raised his hand to stop Xiao Bolt from taking the account book, and said with a smile that he believed in Gao Deli and didn't need to look at any account book.

I'm afraid that there is a fairly thick stack of account books in the past three years, and I'm afraid that if you look carefully, you won't be able to read it in a day or two! After a while at this banquet, they would definitely not be able to see any doorway, so why let their apprentices feel that they didn't trust them.

Gao Deli finished talking about the business of "natural residence", and told Zhong Hao about some important things and interesting stories in Qingzhou in the past few years.

Zhong Hao was more interested in what Gao Deli said about what Fan Gong was in charge of Qingzhou.

Gao Deli said: Because many of the victims who poured into Qingzhou during the diversion of the Yellow River, although some of them returned to their hometowns when their father-in-law Fu Bi presided over Qingzhou, there were still many who stayed in Qingzhou. Because of the surge in the number of people, the local food prices in Qingzhou have skyrocketed, and "hunger is expensive". According to the regulations, the people of Qingzhou pay taxes and have to pay grain to the state government, and then the state government will transfer the grain to Bozhou, where it is located. Fan Gong learned that the price of grain in Bozhou was much lower than that in Qingzhou, so he sympathized with the people's feelings, asked the people of Qingzhou to replace grain with money, and then sent people to Bozhou to buy grain on the spot and hand it over to the transit envoy. This not only relieved the people of the suffering of fatigue, but also stabilized the price of grain, and returned the excess money for grain purchase to the people, and the people were grateful.

There was another time, when Princess Fan was in Qingzhou, there was a kind of "pink eye" that spread badly in Qingzhou, and it was difficult to cure, and the people were in pain. Regardless of his old age and infirmity, Fan Gong personally went to the people to collect home remedies everywhere, and invited those famous doctors to the state government to discuss the formula for the treatment of "pink eye". Later, the Liquan water of the Nanyang River was finally used to make the "Qingzhou White Pill" that could treat the pink eye. The people of Qingzhou are grateful to Fan Gong, and they cover the pavilion on the "Liquan", and record the deeds of Fan Gong with a stone tablet in the pavilion.

The pavilion on the top of this Liquan in Qingzhou is called "Fan Gong Pavilion", and now it has become a place for people to pay tribute to Fan Gong. Zhong Hao felt that in the past few days, he must also go to see this "Fan Gong Pavilion" and pay tribute to Fan Gong.

After Gao Deli and Gao Defu told some of the things that had happened in Qingzhou in recent years, they couldn't help but ask Zhong Hao's experience in the past few years.

Zhong Hao naturally couldn't help but talk about some of the things in Jingqiang Village that he presided over on the bank of the Guye River in the northwest and some experiences of going south with the Western Army to quell the rebellion.

Huzi couldn't help but listen to Zhong Hao tell these things again, he felt that listening to his master tell about these war things he had personally experienced was much more enjoyable than listening to those storytellers.
