Military training is just an appetizer, the real course is yet to come. These more than 1,000 children did not come to serve in the army, but to do academics is their main business. After the end of the military training, the official class is considered to begin.

Su Ren slept at home, and he was the most tired of the military training in ten years, not only to train the ten students assigned to him, but also to bring those forbidden soldiers who he invited to train the students to become his students. After being busy during the day, he had to accept the harassment of Gongsun He and others at night. Even those who are beaten with iron can only sleep for two hours a day, and there are times when they fall.

After teaching the others everything they knew about the training, Su went home, collapsed on the bed, and fell asleep for three days.

"Sir! Sir, something is wrong, go to the academy and have a look! ”

Su Ren got up from the bed, anything can happen, but nothing can happen in the academy. Sitting on the edge of the bed, he was stunned for three seconds: "What's wrong?" What's wrong? ”

Han Qing shook his head: "It's not clear for the time being, but Mr. Dong is scolding, and it sounds like you're scolding!" ”

"Scold me? What are you doing to scold me? I'm tired for ten years, can I sleep in? Muttered as he got dressed.

"I don't think you're sleeping too late."

"And what else?"

Han Qing didn't speak, just helped Su Ren get dressed. Running out while dressing, before entering the courtyard of the academy, Dong Zhongshu's voice penetrated into his ears. Han Qing is right, the old man is scolding him, and the advantage of dragging words in classical Chinese is that you know that he is scolding you, but you don't understand what you are scolding, and you don't even have a chance to talk back.

Seeing Su Ren coming, Dong Zhongshu's scolding was even louder, and he couldn't wait to eat Su Ren in front of everyone, but the Wen Party couldn't stop it after pulling it three or four times. Su Ren gave Han Qing a look, and Han Qing hurriedly sent the old man to the room with Wen Dang.

Kong Dingguo and Gongsun Hong shook their heads and sighed. The bushman said, "What's this! It's not a big deal to be illiterate, I'm not literate yet! ”

Su Ren was inexplicably said, and hurriedly grabbed Kong Dingguo and Gongsun Hong. Kong Dingguo is a descendant of Confucius, the absolute representative of Confucianism, and has a deep attainment in the Four Books and Five Classics. Gongsun Hong was relatively old and more mature, and he only began to study Confucianism at the age of forty, and he had high attainments in just a few years, which was recommended by Kong Dingguo to Su Ren.

"What the hell is going on?"

Kong Dingguo laughed twice: "Although there is no class of teaching, at least you have to be literate, right?" If you are illiterate, how can you do knowledge? ”

Su Ren was stunned and looked at Kong Dingguo. Gongsun Hong motioned to Su Ren to look at the side. It wasn't until this time that Su Ren came up with the idea that there were thirty or fifty students standing in the place where Dong Zhongshu was standing just now lowered their heads and said nothing: "What's the matter, these students made mistakes and made their father-in-law unhappy?" ”

Gongsun Hong sighed: "Don't be happy, they are the illiterate people that Mr. Kong said." ”

"What?" Su Ren was blindsided all of a sudden, and there seemed to be 100,000 alpacas running wildly in his heart. What is illiterate is illiterate. What do such people do in the academy?

Gongsun Hong said again: "These are illiterate, and there are more than 100 people who can only write their own names. ”

Su Ren wanted to cry without tears, and almost vomited blood. When I first recruited students, I relied entirely on my own experience. In his understanding, illiteracy has basically been eliminated in the world, and everyone has received at least nine years of compulsory education, and the worst is that they have graduated from primary school. But he forgot that this was the Han Dynasty, the Han Dynasty 2,000 years ago, and forgot that literacy was not something that could be done with money.

Su Ren wanted to scold, but when he saw those quail-like guys, he couldn't help it. A slap on his face, hot and painful. This joke was a bit big, not only slapping himself in the face, but also slapping Emperor Liu Che's face by the way. At the beginning, Liu Che's passionate speech was all about dogs, not only did not play a good role, but was ridiculed by the world.

came in a hurry, walked back silently, and said nothing. Wherever they passed, people automatically gave way to a way. Looking at Su Ren's back, those doctors and lecturers had already made up their minds to pack their bags and go home.

Dong Zhong was still scolding on the bed with relief, and it was a blessing that the old man was not angry to death. Seeing Su Ren coming in, he twisted his head to the side and ignored him. Wen Dang came over and patted Su Ren on the shoulder: "Mr. Chun Yu has already seen it, it's no big deal." ”

Su Ren saluted, Wen Dang sighed and walked out with Han Qing.

Su Ren knelt in front of Dong Zhongshu's window with a puff and kowtowed respectfully: "Father-in-law, the kid is wrong!" The kid didn't expect such a thing to happen, the father-in-law was angry and beat the kid for a beating, so don't be angry. ”

Dong Zhongshu snorted, but still didn't look at Su Ren.

"We opened the academy to impart knowledge, since they can't, as a teacher and professor, the kid thought about it, we can divide all the students into batches, we can teach them to read if they are illiterate, and those who are literate will be taught from the most basic Analects, and those who can't write articles can teach them to write articles, and those who can write articles can teach them to learn."

"Our academy has just been established, and the outstanding sons and nephews of various families will not be sent here, as long as we can cultivate a group of people, more people will enter the academy in the future, and the boys have also thought about it, and when they become teachers, they can also be treated classified, those with poor qualifications will be put down by the county professor Mengtong, and those with acceptable qualifications will be put down in the county to open the academy, so layer by layer of training, a hundred years, no, the people who enter our academy within ten years will not be in this situation, and there will be more talents emerging in my Han to serve His Majesty."

Dong Zhongshu finally turned his head, glanced at Su Ren, and sighed: "Hey! Since ancient times, it is not an easy thing to establish a sect, and now the old man is also guilty of this situation, all the people in the world who do learning are all big families, and the poor people have insufficient food and clothing, how can they have time and money to do learning? Thousands of people poured in at once, and the old man was overwhelmed by the joy in front of him, get up! ”

Su Ren slowly got up and came to Dong Zhongshu's side: "Please ask my father-in-law to explain to all the doctors and lecturers about this matter, even if it is hard, the kid must ensure that the academy continues." ”

Dong Zhongshu nodded: "That's the only way!" ”

This big and small turmoil finally came to an end under the handling of Su Ren and Dong Zhongshu. The original plan that the campus was full of talented people was in vain, and in line with the statement that there is no class in teaching, Su Ren came to a thorough examination in the academy. In fact, these blank paper people have one benefit, and that is cleanliness. Let you portray them in them, and they will follow the path you have chosen for them.

The exam questions were set by Su Ren himself, and some of the questions from the doctors were selected. Not to mention that the effect is very good, some illiterate people know the carpenter skills well. Some of the five big and three rough ones have quite a lot of experience in leading troops to fight. Some people can talk to you for half an hour when they see a painting, and their mouths are not dry. Of course, there are also the most outstanding, that Du Ling Zhang Tang is a talent, not only familiar with the law of the Han Dynasty, but also writes more prison documents than the old officials.

Dong Zhongshu shook his head and sighed: "Except for one jailer, the rest are useless!" ”

Wen Dang smiled: "It's better than nothing, no one can say, after six years, what will become of these children, and it is unknown whether there will be one or two talents." ”

According to Su Ren's method, the students were divided into subjects. The illiterate are grouped together, starting with literacy. Teach some Analects, Poetry and the like. Those who can write articles will study different subjects according to their personal situation. Those who have the talent of Confucianism learn Confucianism, and those who have the talent of soldiers learn from soldiers. Anyway, everyone can find their own place in the academy.

For this matter, it was busy for another whole month. When everything landed, what to do, and how to do it had their own way, Su Ren could finally take a break. Although the academy did not start well, Su Ren also knew in his heart that as long as he could persevere, there would always be a day when he would become the highest university in the Han Dynasty. What is too learned from the family, all of them are behind.

Su Ren is also a teacher in the academy, and he is unparalleled in the world in arithmetic, so he is responsible for the arithmetic class of all students. For the ancients, not to mention arithmetic and being able to count was a happy thing. From zero to nine, ten Arabic numerals Su Ren taught for three whole days, and there were still people who didn't understand what they all represented. When an eighteen-year-old kid holds two numerical models of six and nine and says eighteen, Su Ren has the intention of killing.

In this flash, an important day has come.

The Cold Food Festival is a big day to worship ancestors, so the college has a three-day holiday for students to go home to worship their ancestors. Originally thought that out of the gate of the academy, these boys were eager to run wild for a while, but who would have thought that no one would be willing to take off their college uniforms, even if the weather was already hot, they were reluctant to take off the heavy cotton clothes that they were sweating after walking a few steps.

Of course, the Su family also has to worship their ancestors, but how to sacrifice and who to sacrifice has become a problem. Worshipping the ancestors, you must add the name of your parents, but maybe your parents will live well in the next life, isn't this a curse for your parents? To worship the teacher, there must be this person. After thinking about it, Su Ren, as usual, slipped out alone on this day.

Spring is already strong, the willow trees by the pond have sprouted, and the gravel road after a winter walk is not as sluggish as it used to be. Han Qing also did not worship his ancestors, it was not that he had no ancestors to sacrifice, but he could not sacrifice. Han Xin was executed for rebellion, and he has not been rehabilitated until now, and worshipping a rebellious criminal is guilty of the same crime as rebellion in the law. So last night, Han Qing secretly made a small sacrifice in the back mountain and it ended.

The two walked side by side, breathing the mountain air, and Su Ren suddenly asked, "You have been in Chang'an for a year, right?" ”

Han Qing nodded: "It's been more than a year, and I came with Mr. every year before last." ”
