Chapter Ninety-Seven: Twenty Dollars
"Come here, Mr. Ma is here, what are you doing here? Don't get out of the way yet! ”
The students who gathered around Zhou Han suddenly turned into birds and beasts and scattered. Immediately about three steps away from the table, the students who had mocked Zhou Han had stiff sarcastic smiles on their faces, while some of their classmates had a faint sadness.
Is it a reward!?
Or something else, or something else......
"Zhou Han?" A smile appeared on Ma Zhou's tense face, "The dean appreciates the submission you wrote, and I read it for the teacher, and it is indeed very good!" ”
As soon as the words fell, there was an uproar all around, in their opinion, Zhou Han, who had always been poor and needed help from others, was actually appreciated by the dean?
It's incredible!
And many of them have helped Zhou Han in the past, but at this moment, their doubts are coming and going.
It's like you can mercifully give a beggar a cold porridge for one night, but you can never admit that he is more talented than you, even if he can kneel in the cold wind all the time, you will only think that this is the persistence before the death struggle.
Vulnerable! With a single finger, his stiff body could be easily pushed down.
And now Ma Zhou, as Tingtao Pavilion, the gentleman of the Royal Academy of Medicine, has the authority to prove: Zhou Han, this poor man is better than you.
How could the rich children who have always been arrogant endure this humiliation, and Zhou Han, a poor scholar, is even more knowledgeable than them!
How is this possible? Although they are not as vast as those families, they also have a lot of precious classics at home.
In ancient times, the number of books in the family was often a testimony of knowledge, so they really couldn't accept the sentence "Zhou Han successfully submitted his book and was appreciated by the dean".
Although he didn't scold explicitly, the cold rejection in his eyes had spread all over his eyes.
They are waiting, waiting for what Zhou Han's submission is about?
Listening to the tension of the atmosphere of Tao Pavilion, it is like a flood that is about to burst the embankment, if it is not reinforced, it will be a monstrous wave!
"This ...... It's true? Zhou Han clenched the scroll's iron-like hand, and finally let go.
On the line stapling on the blue cover, there are two clear finger prints in the lower right corner, staggered and aligned.
"Yes, your submission is very close to the topic set by the dean, but it ...... Your writing is too rough and needs to be polished......"
Ma Zhou said softly, his eyes were firmly fixed on Zhou Han, as if staring at a jade that had not yet been carved, as long as the flaws on the outside were removed, he would eventually release the unique light of the jade.
Just as Duanmu Zigong asked Confucius how to deal with poverty and wealth, Confucius replied: "Poor and ambitious, rich and courteous." ”
Ma Zhou comforted Zhou Han's agitated mood at the moment for a while, and then praised: "A gentleman, such as cutting and learning, such as grinding." In a certain opinion, you are precisely the uncarved piece of jade!
By the way, this is the dean's reward for you, no...... No, it's 20 yuan, the dean of the dean who wrote the letter is very appreciative of it, and you deserve the other 10 yuan, this is a pure gold made by the government! ”
At the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, the right to issue currency was not nationalized, and as long as you had a copper mine, you could apply to the government to mint copper coins. However, the copper coins minted by private individuals are often mixed with a large amount of zinc, iron and other impurities, and are shoddy.
Therefore, the market is generally worth seven or eight hundred yuan, and some even fifty or sixty yuan. And the government casts a lot of conscience, which is basically the role of the court officials and the emperor's relatives and relatives, so it is also called pure gold.
Before Ma Zhou's words were finished, a middle-aged eunuch came over from the corridor, holding a small wooden box, and struggled to move the wooden box in front of everyone.
The lock of the wooden box clicked open, and the yellow and clear copper coins inside were piled up, looking at all the scholars and ...... in the Tingtao Pavilion Ma Zhou, the teacher.
"Too ...... It's a lot, and I remember that a cow in the West Market is only worth fifty-six yuan, which is ...... It's almost the equivalent of a cow, or two sheep! A man whose family sells livestock was shocked.
"No, no, the price of grain in Chang'an this year is a bucket of rice worth 30 yuan, and 20 yuan can be used for a sentence for how many years......"
Most of the onlookers had shops in the East and West Markets, so they compared the value of 20 yuan with the items they were familiar with.
In the end, I found out that the twenty yuan was too much, too much......
"Thank you, sir, for the compliment." Zhou Han nodded, his heart trembled so much that he could even hear the beating of his heart, and his mind was in chaos,
"Sir, since Brother Zhou's writing is so wonderful, I want to observe one or two, I don't know if it?" Several gorgeously dressed men took a step forward, arched their hands, and asked together.
These scholars were only two steps away from Zhou Han, and Ma Zhou could even feel the biting chill, and they were clearly distinguishable from the scholars who were gathered around before.
"Don't worry, it will be made public later." Ma Zhou frowned, although public submission is a conformist rule, but the meaning of voluntary unsealing and forced unsealing is very different.
Seeing that the scholars still did not retreat, but their faces were a little hesitant, his frowning brows deepened again, and he snorted coldly in his nostrils, and said: "Everyone, when it should be made public, I will naturally let you see it, are you just half an hour away now?" ”
As soon as the words fell, the scholars suddenly became ugly, and they took a step back unwillingly, and some of them still regretted a little in their hearts why they wanted to be the first bird.
"That's it! Ladies and gentlemen, this time I came not only to send these twenty times to Zhou Han, but also to inform one thing......"
With a warm smile on his face, Ma Zhou swept softly to the scholars of Tingtao Pavilion and said, "The dean has promulgated the new regulations of the academy.
From today onwards, all students of our college will be free to eat and stay in the restaurants in Qujiangfang, and from now on, scholarships, grants, poverty subsidies, etc. will be set up to encourage you to study hard and forge ahead......"
As soon as these words came out, whether it was the rich man who had just played the role of ridiculing Zhou Han or other poor scholars, a strong sense of college identity suddenly surged in his heart.
"The first assessment of the castration, I have never figured it out, and I don't understand it until today...... The dean is sharpening us, how can there be plum blossom fragrance without experiencing the wind and cold! ”
"The dean is indeed really well-intentioned, if those who have no talent, but can't stand the slightest setback, whether they are practicing medicine or serving as court officials, then it will be really a big disaster for the sick and the people!"
