Chapter 138: Igniting Hope.
At this time, in Qinhuang Town, there were many scholars gathered here to prepare to enter the capital, and Qinhuang Town was only more than a hundred miles away from the capital of the Great Qin Empire.
The scholars who arrived in Qinhuang Town were not in a hurry, they all wanted to touch the light of Emperor Taizu, hoping to get a good score in the exam.
Some places in Qinhuang Town that had a relationship with Emperor Taizu have become places where people rush to go, such as Taizu Academy.
Although Emperor Taizu relied on force and killed the enemy all the way to earn a huge Great Qin Empire, in fact, before the Nanyue Kingdom occupied Qinhuang Town, he was still a student in the academy.
Although the scale of this academy is very small, it can actually only be regarded as a private small academy of the Qin family, and the scale is similar to that of today's Minghe Academy, occupying a small courtyard.
But this small academy has changed very unusually with the rise of Emperor Taizu, and even the name of the academy has been changed to Taizu Academy.
Although this academy has long ceased to be opened, many people come here every year to pay homage to the golden body of Taizu in the Taizu Academy, and ask Emperor Taizu to bless himself with good luck and the title of the gold list.
Yang Dewen didn't know about this, but he also knew the relationship between Qin Huangzhen and Emperor Taizu, even if he did, he wouldn't believe that he could bless good luck by visiting Taizu's golden body.
If it is really so effective, then everyone comes to pay homage to the golden body of Emperor Taizu, then wouldn't everyone who reads can go to high school and be named on the gold list.
The Taizu Academy still maintains its original original state, except for the construction of a statue of Taizu in the courtyard of the academy for people who come to visit to worship, nothing has changed, and there are leaks everywhere in the thatched hut that seems to be a little dilapidated.
The simple desk and bench seem to tell the hardships of Emperor Taizu's study.
In order to protect the Taizu Academy, the imperial family ordered the construction of a fence and sent royal staff to be responsible for the management and maintenance, and visitors who wanted to enter the academy needed to pay a maintenance fee of 100 yuan, and no more than 100 tourists could enter every day.
In normal times, the quota of 100 people is basically enough, but there are too many scholars who have gone to the capital to take the exam recently, and every scholar who has passed through Qinhuang Town wants to go to the Taizu Academy to pay homage to the statue of Taizu.
In order to compete for the top 100 places every day, some scholars even queued up at night.
Yang Dewen was also interested in visiting, but when he saw the flow of people surging in front of the academy, he was not interested at all.
"This son, do you want to go to Taizu Academy to pay homage to the statue of Taizu? I have a place to enter the academy, only five taels of silver each, if you buy more than five places, you can get a discount. A young man stopped Yang Dewen and his party who were about to leave and said.
"Scalpers!" Yang Dewen thought with some surprise in his heart.
Yang Gewen never imagined that in this era, there would be ticket sellers, and the matter of collecting tickets from tourists had already surprised Yang Dewen very much.
The problem that can be solved by a few taels of silver is of course not a problem for Yang Dewen.
After spending dozens of taels of silver, I finally entered the Taizu Academy, except for a statue of Taizu God that can be worshipped, there is really not much to visit.
"So many people want to spend so much money to come to the academy to visit, what is there to look at in such a broken academy." The little girl Miao Miao muttered indignantly.
"If one day, Miao Miao's name can resound throughout China, the thatched hut you lived in Yangshan Village will also attract future generations to visit. This is called the celebrity effect. Yang Dewen said with a smile.
"Resounding across the land of China, how is this possible? Even if it was Emperor Taizu, he only resounded throughout the Great Qin Empire. Miao Miao said unconvinced.
"Emperor Taizu is the founder of the Great Qin Empire, of course, only the people of the Great Qin Empire will come to pay homage to him, if one day, the Great Qin Empire can dominate the entire land of Shenzhou, then the people of the entire Shenzhou will also worship Emperor Taizu.
If you can invent something that is enough to change the world, then no matter how many years have passed, the rear wheel will always miss you, and it is impossible to forget you if you want to. Yang Dewen said softly.
"Enough to attack the world, what is the world?" Miao Miao raised her cute little head and said incomprehensibly.
"You can understand it as the world, and the world is the world." Yang Dewen explained helplessly.
"But how could I possibly change the world? So the soaps or soaps you invent now, as well as the Supreme Leisurely Wine, can be regarded as changing the world? Miao Miao said a little boringly.
"Of course I don't care about this, whether there is soap or not, it doesn't have much impact on our lives, and of course it doesn't change the whole world.
If you want to change the whole world, you can only conquer the world if you keep learning and make great achievements in a certain aspect. Yang Dewen smiled and shook his head and said.
"I don't understand! Can you say something specific? Miao Miao grabbed her head and said.
"It depends on what you are interested in, for example, do you want to fly freely in the sky like a bird, if you can let yourself and everyone fly freely in the sky, then will this change the world?" Yang Dewen patiently explained.
"How can this be? How is it possible for a man to fly into the sky like a bird? You're bullying me, big villain. Miao Miao said angrily.
"As long as you are willing to use your brain, learn more, observe more, imagine boldly, and carefully verify, everything is possible, maybe you work hard, and it is impossible to achieve it in your hands, but as long as someone is willing to continue to think, learn, and try, one day it can be achieved.
When the time comes, the heavens will fly like birds, and what will it count? We can even fly to the moon, go to the sky and the earth, and go to the sea to catch turtles, all of which can happen, and it is only a few hours from Mingzhou to the capital. Yang Dewen said with a firm expression.
A person who has crossed over from the highly developed 21st century with high technology can be sure that human beings will eventually be able to fly into the sky and the moon, so when he said these words, he was very calm.
As for when it can be realized, it is not something he can control, but as long as the spark of hope is sown, there will be a time when it will be realized, so Yang Dewen doesn't mind drawing a big pie for the people of this era.
