Chapter 498: About the Jixia School Palace
"Can I just open the altar and preach?" Zhuangzi listened to it and couldn't believe it.
He heard that there is an unwritten rule on the side of the Jixia School Palace, that is: you must go to the Jixia School Palace first, and get acquainted with the "gentleman" who lives there. And then! Recommended by the gentleman, let the official leaders make arrangements and arrange a lecture time for you. The Jixia School Palace and the official will give you some proper publicity.
Otherwise! Not many people come to listen to you.
Which green onion are you? Isn't it?
With Mr. and the official publicity, the other students of the Jixia School Palace will pay attention to you and take you seriously. In addition, if your husband recommends you, your husband will also save face and will bring his students to listen to your class. Otherwise? He recommended you and you lectured without an audience, and didn't you lose his face?
This is the unwritten rule of the Jixia School Palace.
Just like publishing books in modern society, as long as you are recommended by a number of people, your published book is at public expense, and you can also get manuscript fees and royalties. Otherwise! You can only publish it at your own expense.
That's it!
Thereinto! The cat inside is greasy, you can imagine.
When you go to the Jixia School Palace, you have to worship Mr. first, take refuge in Mr., and become a student of Mr. And then! Have a good relationship with your husband. And then! The gentleman will help you recommend. Needless to say, there is no fame and fortune in it, so Mr. is too lazy to that idleness.
To put it bluntly, if you don't give money to others, people won't bother to recommend you. As long as you give the silver, it doesn't matter if you are famous or not in the future, you can get a quick spot first! If you are really famous, he will gain both fame and fortune.
Of course! This only refers to certain people, and does not represent the entire gentleman of the Jixia Academy. There are many gentlemen who still value the ability of students who apply for apprenticeship.
Zhuangzi is still worried, who will he go to after going to Jixia School Palace? To whom did his apprenticeship go to? You don't know the place well, and you don't even have a place to eat when you go there. You'll have to find an inn to stay in, and then! When someone gives a lecture, you go and listen to the lecture. And then! If they say it well, you will send your apprenticeship to the past and wait for their reply.
If they reply that they won't accept you as a student, and you still don't have anything to eat, you have to come back to another teacher's class another day, and you have to apply for a teacher's job again.
And also! Suppose you don't like what that gentleman is taught. Even! You still look down on others, you don't bother to worship others as teachers, you have to wait a little longer.
If that's the case, the problem arises again.
If you don't accept it, if it comes out, it will be difficult for you to get mixed up in the Jixia School Palace.
But? This is rare. The gentleman of Jixia School Palace is worried that no one has paid homage to the teacher. As long as you vote, you will generally receive it. Anyway! To feed you and don't want him to pay for it, this fee is paid by the treasury of the Qi State. The more students he has under his name, the greater his reputation and talent.
If you look down on a certain gentleman, and you don't vote for someone else's apprenticeship, and it reaches the ears of other people's disciples, other people's disciples will pay attention to you, and you may be squeezed in the future.
If you have an acquaintance in the Jixia School Palace, you can inquire first, and then you choose to worship the teacher. Or! Introduced by acquaintances. Such! You're missing a lot.
Tian Gongzi saw Zhuangzi's happy look, and he snickered in his heart.
I thought: It's up to you? Just by the way you look at that skinny riba, I'm afraid? Not many people take your classes? Don't be embarrassed and can't run!
You still don't know the rules of the Jixia School Palace? No one introduced, no three or five gentlemen brought their students to cheer you on, how many people can listen to your class?
And also! There are few people in the Jixia School Palace, and many people who talk about Confucianism. And then there's the master! Since Hui Shi came to Jixia School Palace, there have been more people who talk and more people who quibble with others. And Taoism, unless you preach "Huang Lao", if you preach the Tao of "Yang Zi" (Yang Zhu), no one will listen.
What kind of Tao are you talking about in Zhuangzi, you are the inheritor of Yang Zhu, what are you talking about if you don't talk about Yang Zhu's Tao?
Now! What the people in Jixia School Palace are most reluctant to talk about and listen to is "Yang Zhu's Taoism" and Mo Poultry's Slippery Ink Studies.
Yang Zhu's theory of "not pulling out a dime" has been scolded by the world, and not many people have the patience to listen to you finish the theory. And the Mo poultry's slippery ink study has made the Mo family fall apart. Then the Mo family of the earth was defeated in the hands of his fowl slippery, who else wants to listen.
"Yes! Who are you? You are Zhuangzi! You can go to the Jixia School Palace tomorrow to preach your Taoism. I'm telling you! I was ordered by the king to be in charge of the Jixia School Palace, and to select talents for the king!
As long as you can have a hundred student seats in the Jixia Academy, you can stay in the capital and become an official. If you can have more than 10 gentlemen in the Jixia Academy, you can serve in front of the king.
I'm telling you! As long as you have that ability, you can gain a foothold in the Jixia School Palace, and your Zhuangzi's reputation will be even louder! With the influence of the Jixia Academy! Your Taoism will soon spread all over the world, and talented people from all over the world will come to worship you under your door! ”
"Then Zhuang Zhou thanked Tian Gongzi first! Tomorrow, any day! Anytime! Zhuangzi was a little moved and saluted Tian Gongzi again.
Although he knew that Tian Gongzi had prejudices against him and despised him, he was able to go to Jixia School Palace to preach so quickly, and he still felt that he was very smooth.
Another purpose for him to come to Qi was to go to the Jixia School Palace and preach there. I want to preach to the talented people of the world in the Jixia School Palace, and preach to those gentlemen in the Jixia School Palace.
That's fine! Don't go to the apprenticeship first, just start speaking, Zhuangzi feels more face-saving. If you first submit to someone else, and then come out of the other person, it is inevitable that the husband will become jealous.
"So be it! I'll go back and arrange it! Time! I don't count! If there is a newcomer to give a lecture tomorrow, why can't you arrange for the two of you to give a lecture at the same time? Isn't it? It's okay to say the same, but there are fewer seats, isn't it? Well! ”
Tian Gongzi never thought that Zhuangzi would take going to Jixia School Palace to preach seriously? He thought that he would let Zhuangzi look foreign. Outcome! Zhuangzi also greeted it.
I thought: That's good! Don't be on that day, there is not a seat, so what is it called a shame? You are embarrassed in front of me and I am the only one to see, you go to the Jixia School Palace, what you lose is not for one person to see, a few months later, everyone in the Great Zhou world will know that no one listens to your Zhuangzi preaching in the Jixia School Palace!
"Rong'er!"
Tian Gongzi turned to Rong'er and said, "I saw your sister Qing'er outside just now, and I saw that something was wrong with her, so I came over to see you." What's wrong with her? It's like crazy! ”
"Sister Qing'er?" Rong'er exclaimed.
"Where did she go? Did she get into trouble? ”
"Don't worry! I've arranged for someone to sneak along! Who made her your sister? ”
"Thank you, Tian Gongzi! Thank you! ”
