Chapter 435 What happened to the disciples of Sumen 2
This sentence was a sentence that Cai Dao tried to wake up after seeing Zhang Lei.
Of course, he also wanted to get together with these disciples to talk about words, but let these disciples follow him all the time, after all, they are already old, and after all, outsiders and themselves will have a feeling of being under the fence.
After hearing this, not to mention a few other people, even Su Shi felt congested!
The bearded man knew that he was a big mouth, and he had always been a big spender and could not accumulate family assets, and it was precisely because of this that he was repeatedly driven out of the capital by the rulers of the two parties, the reformers and the conservatives. Speaking of which, Wen Yanbo and Lu Gongzhu were able to transfer him directly to Hangzhou this time, which can be regarded as mercy. Su Shi himself knows this.
In fact, it's not that Wen Yanbo and Lu Gongzhu don't want to deal with Su Shi more severely, but because the previous incident of Taixue students was too big and the consequences were too serious, if they dealt with Su Shi because of this, then even those students who had always supported them and opposed the change of law would turn against each other.
After figuring this out, Su Shi's brain suddenly became infinitely bigger, and he thought, instead of this, Zhang Lei and the others would return to their hometown after they got together with him for a while, and they also opened this new school in their hometown. On the one hand, it can benefit the fathers and villagers in his hometown, and on the other hand, he can also have several opportunities to expand the prestige of Su Men and his own disciples.
Why not?
Besides, if you really have the financial support of this big fat man, there will be no worries about opening students. Of course, it is not so easy to open a new school like Cai Dao that popularizes education and benefits ordinary people. Because, Cai Dao's concept of running a school is too much beyond those more famous colleges in the Great Song Dynasty, so that it is simply a deviant measure for those Confucian students.
Cai Dao is still young, and the name of the academy is the name of Cai's Academy, and others will not put their beaks in it. But Su Shi is different, as a leader in the literary world, if he really has to do it with his disciples, and then has the strong support of money in the hands of money, his influence will be expanded geometrically in the entire Great Song Dynasty.
However, money gave Su Shi an idea and easily solved this big problem. When Zhang Lei and a few of them left Beijing, they could go to Nanfeng, Jiangxi to visit Zeng Gong, you know, most of the students in Cai's school also followed Zeng Gong to his hometown in Jiangxi. There, Cai Dao personally sent someone to fund, and Zeng's School had already begun teaching.
How to establish a new school, and the related teachers, fell on the Zeng School.
This big fat man naturally visited Zeng Gong, and he also saw with his own eyes that those children taught by Cai Dao could actually be a gentleman.
Nowadays, the scale of Nanfeng Zeng's School has greatly exceeded the original Cai's School in the capital, and it is far beyond the four official academies of the Song Dynasty. When Qian left, there were already more than 20,000 students in Zeng's Academy, and now, the number of students in this academy must have exceeded this number.
After all, Zeng Gong did this in his own hometown, and Nanfeng Zeng's influence in the local area was naturally much greater than Su Shi's influence in Hangzhou.
After hearing about this, Su Shi and Zhang Lei, after they heard it, they couldn't wait to have their wings on their backs, and immediately flew to Nanfeng to see with their own eyes, and Su Shi planned to resign and return to his hometown. However, money persuaded Su Shi down, because other people are okay to say, but doesn't Su Shi have a younger brother?
At that time, Su Zhe was implicated by Su Shi and failed to enter Beijing to become the prime minister. Even the previous petty official was temporarily dismissed, and he is still wasting his time in the local area.
Therefore, the matter of returning to his hometown to benefit the township can be entrusted to Su Zhe to do.
Moreover, in addition to Zeng Gong, there were already people who had been pioneers before them.
This person was Chen Shidao, who was later known as one of the six scholars of Sumen.
Or Cai Dao's reason, Yuanyou's place, Sun Juezhishi returned to his hometown, Su Shi went to Hangzhou, and there was one Fu Yaoyu who recommended him as a professor of Xuzhou Prefecture. However, because of the case of Taixue Student, he had doubts about the conservatives' attitude, and he was even more disgusted with Wen Yanbo and Lu Gongshu, so he was naturally unwilling to accept this official position at this time. When his teacher Zeng Gong returned to his hometown, he specially sent someone to invite this disciple to Nanfeng to meet him.
Inspired by Zeng Gong, after serving in Zeng Gong's school for a period of time, Chen Shidao finally put down his literati shelf and took the initiative to accept the Cai family's funding, and with the help of Cai Dao's men and some students of Cai's school, he also returned to his hometown to open Chen's school, although his fame and prestige in Pengcheng were not as good as Zeng Gongzhi's in Nanfeng.
But after all, he is Zeng Gong's apprentice, and he has also been vigorously touted by Su Shi, and the number of students in this Chen Academy has also exceeded the 10,000 mark in a very short period of time. What's more, Chen's School still has an advantage that Zeng's School does not have, that is, Pengcheng is a key place between the north and the south throughout the ages, and the number of people in Pengcheng City alone has greatly exceeded the Jianchang Army that governs Nanfeng County.
Later, with the financial support of money and Ding Youcai, Zhang Lei, Huang Tingjian and Chao Buzhi returned to their hometowns to establish their own academies.
Now, thanks to Cai Dao's recommendation, among the four scholars in Sumen, Zhang Lei is the first to take office as a local magistrate. Zhao Xu's arrangement can be regarded as a justice for this good official and honest man.
And Zhao Xu is also preparing to re-recruit Huang Tingjian to return to Bianliang City to serve as the official post of national history editor. However, after Cai Dao found out, he dissuaded Zhao Xu, and wrote a letter to Huang Tingjian in person, telling him about the matter, and explaining the reason in the letter.
Because, in the first year of Yuanyou, Huang Tingjian participated in and wrote part of the article of "Shenzong Records", and the official position he held at that time was the reviewer of "Shenzong Records". In the future, this "Records of the Divine Sect" will be a weapon for several of them to attack the conservative ministers. At that time, he will inevitably be recruited into Bianliang City to be held accountable.
If that's the case, it's better to stay in the village for a while. At that time, if Zeng Zhao turned around for him, the punishment would be at most the removal of all his official positions. Today's Huang Tingjian has long fallen in love with the academy he opened, and he doesn't want to be an official in the back of the court at all.
Zhang Lei's idea was also like this at first, but after Cai Dao recommended him to Zhao Xu, he was afraid that he would have such an idea, so he asked Qin Guan to write a letter, and Li Qian personally went to Qian County to persuade him.
After hearing the tragic situation on Hedong Road, Zhang Lei decided to accept this new appointment.
……
"Alas! ......" After Cai Dao finished telling this experience of being a student in Sumenji University that he knew, Zeng Zhao couldn't help but let out a long sigh, "Dao'er! The old man understands what you mean. But even if the old man goes to fight for this official book, is favored by the official family, and gets this official position, but, with the old man's temper, the official family may not necessarily adopt the old man's opinion! ”
Cai Dao's meaning is this, if Zeng Zhao is allowed to become the secretary of the Ministry of Officials, he will be able to use the power in his hands to make those good officials suffer less.
"Naturally, it is. Your status in the hearts of the official family, not to mention Zhang Dian and my two elders, even your younger brother and Yang Wei can't compare. This is a fact, but when Cai Dao said it, Zeng Zhao couldn't help but smile bitterly, he personally suffered no worse than others, but it was because he was not relegated to Lingnan that he was treated differently by Zhao Xu.
Don't look at what Cai Dao said just now, but in Zhao Xu's thoughts, the land of Lingnan is still the place of smoke and miasma that no one can enter, and Zhang Dian, Zeng Bu and the Cai brothers were also suppressed by the conservatives because they defended the last wishes of the first emperor. After he took the government, he naturally had to compensate them for a thing or two.
"Great-grandfather, do you remember Shantao?" Cai Dao gently spit out a person's name.
It's just a name, but Zeng Zhao immediately understood why Cai Dao asked him to fight for the position of the secretary of the ministry, and he looked confident. If, according to the actions of Shantao. Zeng Zhao thinks that the official position of the official secretary is really nine out of ten.
Shan Tao, a native of the Western Jin Dynasty, one of the Seven Sages of the Bamboo Forest, was a capable general under Emperor Wu of the Jin Dynasty. And Shantao is most famous for his actions in the position of the secretary of the ministry.
The people of the time called it "Shangong Notice", which is a summary of the style of this famous man who has sat in the position of the official secretary for more than ten years.
The so-called "Shangong Notice", to put it in detail, is that whenever there is a vacancy in the imperial court, Shantao will always pre-select a few virtuous candidates, and then, after he saw the edict of Emperor Wu of Jin, he realized which person Emperor Wu of Jin was inclined to, and then, he will play this person together with his own candidates, and comment on these people in front of Emperor Wu of Jin.
