Chapter 32 Yuanjiang Academy
"Master Ji, Master Ji! This time, I was kind of miserable by you. Matsudaira Motoyasu smiled helplessly, he was now on the same front as Guo Jia.
"Hey, hey, don't say that." Guo Jia didn't care about this, because he could see that although Matsudaira Motoyasu had a sad helplessness on his face, there was a faint excitement in his eyes.
"Takechiyo, it's time for you to go back. Look outside, it's almost dawn. Guo Jia handed the last cup of tea to Matsudaira Motoyasu.
Matsudaira Motoyasu took the tea in Guo Jia's hand, raised his head and poured it in one breath, compared to the tea in Yuanjiang, it was still delicious in Owari. Guo Jiamu sent Matsudaira and Motoyasu to leave, and slowly cleaned up the teacups on the table.
"I didn't expect to turn a city lord of Yuanjiang Country against me in a few words, and I also obtained such important information. Master Guo Jia is really amazing. Takigawa Kazuyi was shocked, and he watched Guo Jia and Matsudaira Motoyasu's every move throughout the whole process.
"Lord Guo Jia, do you want me to send someone to investigate Oda Nobuyo." Takigawa Kazuyi remembered the name, this person was Guo Jia's uncle.
"By the way, let's keep an eye on Nobuyuki." Guo Jia nodded, his eyes dark. He still planned to take precautions and spoil a pot of soup for free by a rat droppings.
Okazaki Castle may not be compared to Nakono Castle or Inabayama Castle, but it still has its own characteristics, and there is something else that has not been seen in other castles.
And on the second day when Guo Jia and the others came here, they went to the streets of Okazaki City early in the morning to wander around, since they came here and things were done, why not play here and enjoy the scenery of other countries.
And there are also things in Okazaki Castle that Guo Jia didn't expect, such as the academy.
In this troubled world, people can't eat enough and don't have enough clothing, everything depends on God's mercy, and maybe this war will spread. If there is a fight on that day, everything will disappear here, so many of the residents of the city let their children go to farming or learn some trades, where will people go to read and write.
And what is the most scarce thing in this troubled world? It is a talent, a resourceful talent. The hard-working martial artists are already rotten on the street, but there are very few people who have learned the knowledge of the art of war since childhood.
Of course, Guo Jia also thought about running an academy training class in Naguye, but the problem came again, the money for running this kind of academy is enough, but where can the people who teach and educate people go to find it? Do you want Niwa Nagahide and Hirate Masahide to do it? Guo Jia had just become a daimyo and these people couldn't go there to teach yet.
Besides, if Guo Jia gritted his teeth and stomped his feet, would they go? Who will send their own children here? This is a troubled time, and people in this age want to get ahead, and there will be people who will send their children over.
But in Okazaki City, there is such a place, and Guo Jia only has one sentence in his heart: "Wow! This Takechiyo is really good at making trouble! ”
"Teng Jilang, if you have the opportunity, do you want to study or do you want to be a ronin?" Guo Jia looked at the private school from a distance and asked the person behind him.
"My lord, if I hadn't heard about you, I would have gone to study, but I heard about you from my father's mouth, so I want to keep doing this." Teng Jilang said excitedly, his eyes were so excited when he looked at Guo Jia.
"You're a man who can talk. Come on. Let's go over and see, and if we have the chance, we can also set up a academy in Furuno. Guo Jia smiled and slowly walked towards the academy.
"Huh? Are you going to visit that academy? Looking at Guo Jia's course of action, Teng Jilang opened his mouth and asked.
"Well, since that Furuno plans to open a academy, let's go and learn other people's things first." Guo Jia nodded, and led a dozen of them to the gate of the academy.
This academy is not large, at most it is only more than 200 square meters in size, that is, the area of six or seven rooms of ordinary people's houses. The surrounding fence is very high, about two or three meters high. The walls are all made of green bricks, which is not a material that ordinary people can use, because this kind of masonry material is hard and has excellent fireproof performance, and generally this kind of masonry is used to build the main city tower.
The gate is vermilion, which looks like a wooden material, and it should have been dyed with paint, and on the plaque of the door is four large characters "Yuanjiang Academy". The internal environment is not clear, it doesn't look too bumpy, Guo Jia has basically determined that this academy is the official handiwork of Yuanjiang.
Guo Jia glanced back at the ronin who followed behind him, their expressions were all shocked, after all, there was no such magnificent courtyard in the entire Ancient Wild City. In comparison, this academy does not even have such an atmosphere as the castle tower of Okazaki Castle.
"Let's go? Go in and take a look? Guo Jia spoke to the people behind him. When he saw the person behind him nodding, he approached the gate of the academy directly.
It wasn't until he got close that Guo Jia realized that the gate of this academy was so beautiful. The door was painted vermilion, and not only that, but the door was regularly inlaid with brass nails, and on the left and right sides of the door was a brass relief of a fierce snake biting the door knocker, which reminded him of a similar building in his hometown.
Guo Jia unhurriedly picked up the door knocker and knocked on the relief twice, and the crisp impact sound came, which made people feel comfortable.
Before everyone could enjoy the pleasant knocking, a crack less than half a man's width opened in the door, and a rough sound came from the gap. Sounds like a soldier who has stood guard for years.
"What are you going to do?" The people in the crack of the door saw Guo Jia and his party.
"Oh, we saw that there is a academy here, and we thought about sending our own children to study as well." Guo Jia said softly, he was not afraid of revealing himself, because there were not a few people with children at his age, and most of the ronins behind him were in their twenties and thirties, and it was normal for them to send their children over.
"Huh? Then just send your children here, what are you doing here? ”
"Aren't those of us parents looking to see what the famous Yuanjiang Academy is like? Damn Oda Kakuka! Look what he's done since he took us from the city! At this time, Guo Jia was really angry with hatred when he spoke, and his words stunned the ronins behind him.
Yes? Why did Master Guo Jia say that? How can he scold himself? Didn't I hear that the residents were happy since the castle belonged to Owari, how could it be?
Doubts rose in the hearts of the ronin, but the doorman's response explained Guo Jia's words.
"Oh! You are from the city, and you should be a tyrant near the city because you are gorgeously dressed. I didn't expect our Yuanjiang Academy to spread its name so far. Wait a minute, I'll report to the head of the house right away. ”
After the doorman finished speaking, the door closed again, Guo Jia was a little puzzled, why a college could be so mysterious? Isn't it just a visit? Why is this happening?
"Master Guo Jia is very capable." It is estimated that Tengjiro, who has been called a monkey since he was a child, is also as smart as a monkey. He instantly understood the meaning of Guo Jia's conversation just now.
In his words just now, he told the doorman of this academy that he was from the Enjiang Kingdom, because Owari was homeless after seizing the castle, and he could only send his children here, so he came to this famous Enjiang Academy.
"Don't call me by that name, listen, you can call me Fengxiao for a while, don't add two words." Guo Jia moved out the name of the ancient Guo Jia.
"Yes."
After explaining this, Guo Jia waited with them for the return of the doorman. It was a long wait, and it took nearly half an hour for the doorman to open the door and let Guo Jia and the others enter.
"Hello parents, I am the dean of Yuanjiang Academy, and this time let me introduce you to our Yuanjiang Academy."
The person who spoke was a middle-aged man, without a little beard on his face, with clear eyebrows and gentle eyes, at first glance, he was a person who had read since childhood, and Guo Jia had seen a few people with this temperament, one was Takenaka Hanbei and Akechi Mitsuhide, who was also Mino, and the other was Niwa Nagahide.
"That's hard work for you, Headmaster." Guo Jia bowed slightly, and he had to do a little bit like a play.
"Okay, good, no hard work, no hard work." It is very useful to see this person being bowed by Guo Jia like this.
"I'll tell you about the origin of this Yuanjiang Academy. As you know, these are troubled times, many children have lost the opportunity to get ahead because they can't study, and there are also many children who can't discipline because their parents are fighting outside the home and becoming officials, and finally become bandits or commit crimes, which parents don't want to see. And one of our adults in Yuanjiang Province didn't want to see this, so he sent someone to set up such an academy. ”
"Well, what do you call this brother?"
The dean looked at Guo Jia, and he was even happier to see that Guo Jia was curiously looking around and listening to his introduction.
"Oh, just call me Bonghyaka, my name is Wasuka Bongtaka." Since Guo Jia plans to be incognito, it is good to directly apply the surname of Bee Suga Xiaoliu. "This is Yoshiro Beesuga, my younger brother. This is Wasuka Koroku, my eldest brother. "Wasuka is a not-so-famous village near Nakono, so Guo Jia is not afraid of this person at all, after all, even he only knew the identity of these people after investigating in advance.
Guo Jia introduced the ronins who followed him one by one, and these people also learned from Guo Jia's fake smile.
"Oh, it's Bong Hyo-kun! I don't know how old your kids are. Let us know and arrange the right course for your child. ”
"My child is three years old, it doesn't really matter, the key is my eldest brother's! As you know, the head of the academy, the castle was taken away by the Oda family's livestock, and now we are living in a difficult situation, and our entire village has run away, and we are now settling outside Okazaki Castle. But a group of us young people have decided to join the army, and we can't discipline our children by ourselves, especially the eldest brother's! It's already ten years old, and if you don't study, this life will be ruined, just like the dean said. Guo Jia said so eloquently that even the dean of Yuanjiang Academy couldn't help nodding.
"Feng Xiaojun! I can understand your thoughts, alas, if I weren't a scholar, I don't know martial arts and don't have much strength, otherwise I would have joined the army and fought a long time ago. ”
"Dean, you can't be like this, if it weren't for you, Yuanjiang Academy wouldn't exist, you are Yuanjiang's benefactor to his parents!" Guo Jia patted the academy leader's ass for a while, and suddenly made this person's tail.
"Feng Xiaojun, let's not talk about this yet! Let me continue to tell you about our college. When the time comes, if you want to send your own children over, can you arrange it yourself? ”
"Okay." Guo Jia looked at the person in front of him, thinking in his heart, how good it would be if this kind of life was in that ancient field! For the sake of a touch of scholarly fragrance in troubled times, he should be brought over.
