On this day, Wu Zhi was leisurely drinking tea in the luxurious office of the college, and suddenly a small servant came to report that an old man outside the college had come to visit Wu Zhi.

Originally, in the name of Wu Zhi, many people came to visit every day, but most of these people came out of curiosity, Wu Zhi had received it a few times before, and found that most of them were idle eggs and came to ask questions or find inscriptions, and over time, Wu Zhi disappeared for the visitors he didn't know.

But today, this Wu Zhi heard that he was an old man, and the little guy also said that this person had an elegant temperament, and in line with the traditional virtues of respecting the old and loving the young, Wu Zhi had to go out to take a look.

In the afternoon, there were a few thick clouds floating in the sky, covering the sun, just right, not sunburning.

Wu Zhi walked to the gate of the college, next to the hut at the gate, the master of the gatekeeper was wearing a wide and thin Confucian robe, he was lying on the rocking chair and fanning the fan, he was twisting his white beard, and he was happily talking to the people in front of him.

The person in front of the janitor happened to be blocked by a marble pillar at the gate of the academy, so Wu Zhi didn't see the person's face, but he thought that the person was the old man's guest.

Seeing Wu Zhi coming, the janitor stood up from the rocking chair and showed his big white teeth to Wu Zhi from a distance.

This doorman is a retired Dutou, surnamed Hu, who has been a messenger in the yamen of Qingzhou Mansion for most of his life, and has served more than a dozen governors, and the people of the entire Qingzhou City know him, and he knows them all, and he has a very good reputation as an errand boy, and he is fair and righteous, and never bullies others, so after the college opened, Wu Zhi invited him to be this idle doorman.

"Big official, when will we call Professor Xue to fight the landlord for two more rounds? I've already prepared Pu'er tea for you! ”

"Hey! Hu Ye, since I taught you to fight the landlord, you have become more and more sophisticated, I don't dare to fight with you, if you continue to fight, my private money will be lost! ”

Wu Zhi and Lao Hu gag, fighting the landlord is naturally the three-person landlord of the later generations, with the king to fry the kind, Wu Zhi is bored in the college, and if he has nothing to do, he will pull the old professor and Lao Hu to play two together, and the card is specially made by Liu An for Wu Zhi. It's not a big game, five copper plates, a small bet!

"Hey, hey!"

Old Hu Le laughed, and suddenly thought that there were guests in front of him, so he hurriedly introduced Wu Zhi to him.

"Oh, big official, this old Mr. Zhou, he said that it was your old friend......"

"Friends?"

At this time, Wu Zhi was about to walk to the gate, and when he heard that it was an old friend surnamed Zhou, Wu Zhi thought about it in his heart.

Suddenly, Wu Zhi's eyes lit up, his face was happy, and he immediately accelerated his pace and walked towards the door.

After approaching the gate, the figure behind the stone pillar finally walked out.

It is an old man in gray, with gray hair, kind eyebrows, very rich, and long eyebrows hanging down at the end of his eyebrows, like an old birthday star.

"Mr. Zhou, it's really you!"

Seeing this person, Wu Zhi shouted in surprise and bowed.

The old man who was called Mr. Zhou by Wu Zhi was none other than Zhou Dunyi's eldest son, and Zhou Shou, who was sentenced to Mizhou!

"Eh, the elder brother doesn't have to be polite, I haven't seen him for many days, the demeanor of the elder brother is even worse, simple and calm but without losing the demeanor of a famous family, he deserves to be the head of a hospital!" Zhou Shou helped Wu Zhidao.

"Mr. Zhou has won the award, I am just an ordinary man, where do I dare to call a famous person in front of you? I think you're getting more and more Dao Bone Immortal Wind! Wu Zhi waved his hand again and again.

Since the torch of the Hundred Schools of Revival Movement was handed to Zhou Shou, Wu Zhi has only cared about opening the academy to teach students, and as for those academic things, they have all been handed over to Zhou Shou to improve, publicize, shout, and struggle for it! Wu Zhi only mixes it up once in a while.

After Zhou Shou's unremitting efforts, the revival movement of the hundred schools of thought has become more and more recognized by people, and it is not only prevalent in Shandong, but also a large number of literati in Shanxi, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Huaihai, Sichuan, Shu, Lianghu and other places have begun to discuss this topic.

One of the most outstanding results is that in addition to Wuzhi's local daily newspapers, many specialized academic newspapers have also emerged in various places, and even those colleges that used to teach Confucian classics have also begun to learn from Qingzhou College to teach some hundred disciplines.

The most popular is arithmetic, and now most of the literati in the government and the opposition have been influenced by the ideas of the Hundred Schools of Movement, and Wu Zhi heard that the Ministry of Rites has been discussing whether to include arithmetic in the scientific examination content below the county school.

In this, Zhou Shouju has made great contributions, so Wu Zhi naturally respects him in every way.

"Hahaha! Okay, you and I are New Year's friends, so there's no need to praise each other so much, but don't say it, since this resignation, my mood has been much smoother, and I am very energetic every day! ”

"Mr. Zhou, please inside!"

It was inconvenient to talk next to the gate, and after Wu Zhi invited Zhou Shou into the academy, he asked while walking: "Last time, I heard that Mr. said in his letter that he wanted to resign from the government, could it be that the official family has already given permission?" ”

"Well, yes! I'm nearly sixty years old, and it's time to retire and recuperate. ”

Zhou Shou is the official initiator and leader of the Hundred Schools Revival Movement, and now the movement is unfolding like a flower, and it has also caused a lot of influence in the Bianjing government and the opposition, not only Murong Yanda because he promised Wu Zhi, but also kept brainwashing others in the court, and even Cai Jingjing publicly said that the revival of the Hundred Schools is beneficial in the future.

This is not surprising, it is true that Cai Jing is a traitor to the country, but after all, he used to be a member of the new party with Wang Anshi, and he has all kinds of radical and innovative in his bones.

The revival of a hundred schools of thought is a thing that breaks the tradition, which is naturally in line with Cai Jing's wishes.

However, the revival movement in the political situation of the Great Song Dynasty has such an effect, then as the leader of this ideological movement Zhou Shou, the status will definitely rise, before Zhou Shou resigned, it seems that under the operation of Cai Jing, the imperial court has issued him to be promoted to the right minister of the Western Mansion, as the crown prince Taibao.

Zhou Shou's qualifications are there, and this promotion can be described as a very popular minister, which is coveted by many people, but Zhou Shou just wrote three times after the imperial court order was issued, resigned from all official positions, and even stopped doing the Mizhou general judgment!

In his words: "The old minister does the revival of a hundred schools of thought, aiming to serve the country and benefit the people, not for his own selfishness." Today, the court is not stingy with promotion, but the emperor's grace is mighty, and the old ministers are sincerely afraid and beg for grace. However, the world has thousands of tongues, in order to avoid unwarranted criticism by the court, in order to protect the reputation of the old minister, the minister can only resign to prove his heart......

Although it is a little pedantic, Zhou Shou did what he said, and now he really resigned, and Wu Zhi felt respect in his heart after hearing it.

"Mr. Gao Feng Liangjie, Wu Zhi admires!"

"What is the high wind and bright festival, I didn't receive the title of Taishi in the end, alas, I have to receive it......"

Taishi is the title of Zhengyipin, and countless middle-level officials have worked hard all their lives to be able to get a Shangshu position and burn high incense, but although Zhou Shou's tone is full of sighs, people who don't know still think that this old guy is fake Qinggao!

But Wu Zhi knew that Zhou Shou didn't, he didn't even want the position of prime minister with real power, how could a prince take it in his eyes, the reason why he was not good to resign was because to resign again was to lose the face of the official family, not the way of a courtier...... After all, he is the son of a saint, and his ideological realm is not comparable to mortals.

"That's fine, I, Qingzhou College, have reserved the position of chief dean for Mr. early!"

Zhou Shou was fooled by Wu Zhi into becoming the red flag bearer of the revival of the hundred schools, and now Zhishi naturally wants to come to Qingzhou College as the dean, which Wu Zhi has already discussed with him.

"Good! Then I'll do it! Zhou Shou laughed.

"That's nature." Wu Zhi smiled, and then he said again: "By the way, can Mr. bring his family to Qingzhou this time?" I have already prepared a mansion for my husband in Qingzhou, and my husband can move in at any time. ”

"Brother Lao is bothered, since my wife died and my children became a family, the old man has been living alone, no need to bother." Zhou Shou was a little stunned, as if he recalled his wife, looked at the academy, he continued: "This academy is magnificent and unique, it really deserves to be your handiwork, if it is convenient, you can sort out three houses for me in the academy, I have an old servant, and a few cars of calligraphy and painting." ”

"Don't worry, sir, I'll immediately ask someone to sort out a small courtyard."

Looking at Wu Zhi with satisfaction, Zhou Shou didn't say any more polite words.

"By the way, there's one more thing."

As he was walking, Zhou Shou suddenly stopped, and his expression became a little embarrassed.
