It is said that the Song Dynasty learned the lesson of the Tang Dynasty's feudal town separation, in addition to abolishing the system of jiedu envoys and reducing the rights of military generals, and at the same time changed the first-level administrative division to roads. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info Song Taizong Zhidao three years (997 years) set the ruling area as 15 roads, and by the fifth year of Song Huizong Chongning (1106), the road-level administrative area has increased to 23 roads. This Shandong Jeju is subordinate to the 23rd Road Zhongjing East West Road, and the rest of the states and counties that belong to the East West Road include Yingtianfu (Nanjing), Xiqing Mansion (Yan), Xingren Mansion (Cao), Dongping Mansion (Yun), as well as Xuzhou, Shanzhou, Puzhou, Gongzhou and other places.

This Shandong region has a long history, beautiful mountains and rivers, outstanding people, it is the hometown of Confucius and Mencius, and the natural literary style is prosperous. Far away in the Eastern Han Dynasty known as Mr. Kang Cheng master Zheng Xuan, the Eastern Jin Dynasty calligrapher, known as the "sage of calligraphy" Wang Xizhi, near the father and son champion of the Liang Hao Liang Gu, as well as Jinshi and the first, the official to the prime minister Wang Dan Wang Xianggong, is now the four bachelors of Sumen, the brilliant Chao Puzhi, that is also the people of Zhucheng in Mizhou, Shandong.

There is a teacher surnamed Liu in Juye County School, it is said that during the Yuanfeng period of Shenzong, he was weak to raise people in high school in the year of the crown, and then traveled to study the world, and made friends with many literati and scholars, but after that, he fell into the name of Sun Shan in the examination, so he was disheartened and taught here.

There is a school workshop in the city seat of Juye County, Jeju Governor's Office, which was built during the reign of Shinjong, and the Jeju state school and the county school are located here. Now Liu Jiaoyu is about fifty years old, although his human nature is a little arrogant, and he is also strict with his students, but he is knowledgeable and well-known, and he is highly respected in the county school.

Liu Fuzi has a habit of teaching, every lesson is to lead students to read it once, and then let the students read it by themselves to familiarize themselves with the content of the article. After the student reads it two or three times, he leads the reading word by word to correct the student's mistakes, and then asks the student to read it twice, and then shouts "one, two" and asks the student to read it silently several times, and then begins to let the student recite it one by one, and if he can't memorize it, he will be hit by the board.

On this day, Liu Fuzi still taught according to the old rules in the "Historical Records? When the students read the "Treatise on the Qin Dynasty" after the "Records of the First Emperor of Qin", he read it again after the students read it, and then let the students read it themselves. After a cup of tea, the students had already recited it four or five times, and Liu Fuzi began to ask the students to endorse the book. At present, Liu Fuzi teaches 234 students, of which three or five are good at coursework, and they can only recite the middle part of the "Treatise on the Passage of Qin". But the rest of the people will not wait until they stand up and memorize four or five sentences, and then stand up and memorize one or two sentences, and forget about the following.

Mr. Wang then mentioned all the more than 20 students, but who knew that none of them could memorize the whole text. There are no obscure words, and the articles are not too long, all the students have not memorized them, and the senior students have only memorized half of them. He couldn't help but feel a little nostalgic for the first class of students he taught in Tokyo, who was not very smart but was humble and studious. Especially one of his own proud disciples, not to mention the well-read and strong memory, the articles are full of flowers, the words are beaded, and it is even more rare to be knowledgeable, and there are always amazing words. After careful calculation, he should come to Jeju in two or three months, and he is looking forward to sitting down with him.

Comparing the two sides, Liu Fuzi feels that the current class of students is stupid and stubborn. Due to the hot weather, Liu Fuzi's face was flushed, and the sweat brush on his head was dripping. In a fit of rage, Liu Fuzi reached out and grabbed the ring ruler, pouted his beard, and knocked the ring ruler on the teaching table twice. This is a sign that Liu Fuzi is about to beat someone.

"You say, your head is full of paste, and you can't memorize it." Because of his anger, Liu Fuzi's tone also became high.

"Since I can't memorize it, I stretched out my hand and put it on the teaching table. I can't carry it, so I'm going to hit them one by one!"

Students, you look at me, I look at you, I feel a little ashamed, but I also hope that some students can memorize the article. But after waiting for a long time, no one memorized, so the students had to put their hands out and put them on their desks.

Liu Fuzi watched the students take the initiative to stretch out their hands, and his heart was anxious and angry. He shouted again: "Still no one recites the next part?" ”

"As long as there is one who can memorize it, I won't beat you!"

After waiting for a while, no student stood up and took the initiative to recite. As soon as Liu Fuzi gritted his teeth, raised the ring ruler above his head, and was about to hit the first student's hand. At this moment, I only heard shouting outside the window: "Master Liu, wait!" I'll carry it!" This voice is not very majestic, a little immature, but it also has a kind of tenacity.

"Qin Xiaogong according to the solidity of the letter, the land of Yongzhou, the monarch and the minister stick to the Zhou room, there is a sweep of the world, including the four seas, and swallowing the eight desolate hearts......" did not wait for Master Liu to agree, the people outside the window took care of themselves silently, and the voice of endorsement came from far and near, and passed on to the classroom.

“…… However, Qin is a small place, to the trend of ten thousand times, the order of eight states and the same column, more than 100 years; Then take Liuhe as the home, and Cuihan as the palace; One husband is difficult and seven temples, dead people's hands, for the world to laugh, why not? Benevolence and righteousness are not applied, and the offensive and defensive forces are different. The person outside the window continued to recite the first part after reciting it.

"Qin destroyed the Zhou Dynasty, and the sea, and the princes, and the south called the emperor, in order to raise the four seas. …… The proverb says: "The past is not forgotten, and the future is also the teacher." "It is to take the gentleman as the country, look at the ancients, test the world, participate in the personnel, observe the reason of prosperity and decline, judge the appropriateness of power, go to order, change due to time, so it is protracted and the society is safe!"

At this point, the ancient text sprinkled with more than 1,000 words was completely memorized, without any mistakes or breaks, Old Master Liu put down his hand that half raised the ring ruler, and looked at the figure who had already walked into the hall in surprise. The person who came looked at him was about eleven or twelve years old, not tall, his face was slightly flushed, but his eyes were bright, Shi Shiran stood in the school.

Old Master Liu was surprised to see that this young child could recite this entire article, and after a second examination, he found that the young child was in front of the public, and he was not nervous in the face of many adults, not only did his good feelings increase greatly, but even his gloomy mood due to his disappointed performance towards the students also faded, so he asked knowingly: "You memorized the book?"

The young boy heard Old Master Liu's question, and immediately bowed to Old Master Liu, and said respectfully: "But it was recited by the kid, and the talented boy Meng Lang has no form, and I hope the old master will forgive!" ”

Seeing that this young child behaved so moderately, Old Master Liu bowed his head slightly, habitually brushing his long hair, which made people unable to see joy and anger. In fact, Old Master Liu was very happy in his heart, and he asked with a look in his heart: "I am only half a hundred years old this year, how can I be called "old"? ”

Hearing Master Liu's question, the young boy calmly responded: "Master's body is healthy and his longevity is boundless, isn't he "old"!"

Liu Fuzi just asked casually, embarrassed the young child, but he didn't expect the young child to be so quick in thinking and dealing with it properly. "What's your name, and have you read any books before?"

The young boy bowed down and saluted: "Mr. Yu, the boy's name is called Lingguan, and the name was taken by the young master. ”

Old Master Liu couldn't help frowning when he heard the Lingguan mention the word "young master", and he was overjoyed when he heard that the Lingguan had learned some articles, and he immediately started to love talents. "I see that although you are young, you are smart and studious, and you are willing to accept you into the school, I wonder if you would like to enroll in school?"

Since the establishment of the imperial examination system in the Sui Dynasty, countless scholars from poor families have taken this opportunity to carp and jump into the dragon gate. Although the founding emperor of the Northern Song Dynasty was the world immediately, he also attached great importance to literature and education, and had already set the ancestral motto of ruling the world with scholars and doctors during his reign, and even the Emperor Zhenzong of the previous dynasty personally inscribed the "Persuasion of Learning", so there was a very prosperous reading style in the Song Dynasty.

However, for most people, it is still a luxury to get ahead by studying for the imperial examination. Not to mention that the imperial court has restrictions on the status of those who participate in the imperial examination, nor does it say that it is difficult to study and worship famous teachers, even the cost of studying is also a big burden, not to mention the limited number of places in the local schools, and it is very difficult to enroll.

threw an olive branch to the spirit officer, and the old master Liu returned to the appearance of a master outside the world, waiting for the little spirit official to kowtow to the master.

When the spirit officer heard that Old Master Liu wanted to admit him to study in the hall, he was a little surprised at the moment, and knew in his heart that Master Liu took a fancy to his diligence and studiousness, but in his heart he was unwilling to learn from Master Liu. At that moment, he hurriedly confessed to Master Liu: "Master Liu is a scholar and a man, with countless peaches and plums, and it is a blessing for a boy to be able to follow Master to study." However, the spiritual officer is inconvenient, so he can only thank the master for his kindness. After that, he expressed his gratitude to Mr. Liu.

Over there, Old Master Liu was waiting for the spirit officer to enter the school to apprentice, but he didn't expect to be rejected in person, and his face was a little unhappy. Why is that? Don't you like to read?"

"Like"

"But because of your status as a slave?"

"It's not".

"But it's because it's hard to get out?"

"It's not".

Old Master Liu was surprised in his heart, and continued to ask questions, but he couldn't ask a reason, and he couldn't help frowning.

Seeing this, the little spirit official hurriedly said: "The spirit officer was originally an orphan, and he was taken in by the young master, and he should repay the young master with a grass title ring." Born in the world, he should know how to repay his kindness, so he dare not leave. ”

Master Liu, who was rejected and lost face, disliked the young master in Lingguan's mouth even more in his heart, and said angrily at the moment: "I keep saying that I am for the young master, in order to repay the kindness, but I don't know which character made you sacrifice so much?"

"Old Liu, don't be ashamed! Even digging into my corner! As soon as Mr. Liu's words fell, someone answered at the door.

The little spirit official was overjoyed when he saw the visitor, and Old Master Liu also turned his anger into joy when he saw the visitor, and laughed and said, "It turned out to be you kid!" ”
