Wei Shui pulled Shen into the house, and Zhao Dingyuan hurriedly took the time to see his sister and nephew who he hadn't seen for a long time. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info Since leaving the Ke house, the natural enemies seem to have regained their greedy and lazy appearance, and when they are free, they find a corner that they think is good, curl up, and fall asleep.

"Second Master, you just said that our academy should be different from other places? I don't understand this very well, can you be more elaborate? The two sat opposite each other, and Shen Zeng hurriedly asked the doubts in his heart.

Wei Shui also wanted to explain this matter to him, but the matter had to be explained clearly little by little.

"Mr. Shen, in your opinion, what is the context of Shaoxing?" As soon as Wei Shui opened his mouth, he threw out such a question that everyone knew to women and children, which made Shen Zeng stunned. However, this one did not bother him.

"Shaoxing's cultural context is naturally very prosperous. Not to mention the previous dynasties, it is my Ming Dynasty, this Shaoxing literati and scholars, talented Confucians, are also as many as the stars and nights, countless! ”

"That's right!" Wei Shui nodded and agreed, "Here in Shaoxing, it is said that the cultural context is prosperous, of course it is good." Down to Penghu, shame not to train his son with poetry and books. Eager to learn, respect teachers and friends, the sound of string recitation, than the house to hear. Most of the people who grew up in Shaoxing were influenced by it and had the spirit of a scholar. But it's not all good. ”

Shen Zeng didn't know why, and hurriedly said, "I want to hear about it." ”

"You think, so many talented people gather here. As a result, the annual Shaoxing government test can be called a single-plank bridge squeezed by thousands of troops. Isn't that scene more than spectacular? It's just tragic! Maybe in another place, people will be cold for ten years, and no matter how bad it is, the children's test will always be passable, right? But when I got here, passing a children's test was almost as difficult as lifting someone in the family. Therefore, if you are born here, it is not good to get ahead in the imperial examination! ”

Shen Zeng nodded when he heard this. Hearing Wei Shui say this, he also felt that the imperial examination here in Shaoxing had invisibly increased a lot of difficulty. The same students, placed elsewhere, may be able to win the lift. But in Shaoxing, it is very likely that you will not be able to pass the government examination and the hospital examination. However, since you have decided to set up a private school, what's the use of worrying about this?

Wei Shui saw Shen Zeng's doubts, and the corners of his mouth smiled slightly, but he said something that surprised Shen Zeng: "Since the scientific examination is not easy, then you might as well not go to the scientific examination." ”

"This ......" Shen Zeng's eyes widened at that time, "Don't go for a scientific expedition?" This...... Second master, I really don't understand. If you don't go to the scientific examination, what's the use of studying? ”

"Hey, Mr. Shen, you're cheesy, aren't you?" Wei Shui squinted his eyes and said with a smile, "Confucius takes benevolence, Mencius values righteousness; And Lao Zhuang did nothing, and Mozi said that it was profitable. All the sons and hundreds of schools of thought say that they have attained the Tao of the Holy King, but their ways are different. Why? All the sons of Gai read the books of the sages and imitated the methods of the holy kings to help the world; However, their emphasis is different, so the method of obtaining is different, and the way of obtaining is different. Therefore, the sages of the ancients who read the books of the sages wanted to get a piece that could be practiced in the world! Mr. Shen, this is the meaning of reading the books of the sages. In addition to being an official, there are still many ways to go, so why bother to hold the road of entering the imperial examination to the black? ”

"But, I really don't know, what else can I do without scientific research?" Shen Zeng still didn't understand, "It's not the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States period anymore, and there is no such thing as a hundred schools of thought." I am the only one who respects Confucianism and believes in the Cheng Zhu Lixue of the Song Dynasty, which ...... Isn't there only one way to go? ”

"Ouch, your brain, that's really ...... Is...... Would it be nice to take a turn? Wei Shui felt that it was really difficult to reason with the person opposite. However, now that the situation has to convince him. Rubbing his head, Wei Shui decided to communicate with him in a different way, "Mr. Shen, let's think so." You see, you're not from Zhejiang. Go to Zhejiang as an official, but what are the difficulties? ”

"Well...... Shen Zeng didn't know why Wei Shui suddenly jumped to this topic again, and after thinking about it for a while, he hesitated and said, "If you talk about difficulties, of course there are." When I first arrived in Xiaoshan County, I didn't understand the local dialect of Zhejiang. And when he first arrived, he was not as slippery as those little officials, and he was often played by them for no reason. ”

"That's it!" Wei Shui patted the case and said, "Mr. Shen, you think, thousands of miles of officials, how many people are like you, who are in a different place and have difficulty understanding the language of the locals. How many people like you will be teased by the local officials for no reason? Ten years of cold windows, once successful, who doesn't want to show their intelligence and talent? Who wants to be toyed with by a few unlearned villagers? Our private school does not need to be able to raise people and enter the ranks of eunuchs, but only need talents who are familiar with the case and the local language. Whether it is a criminal name, money and food, or knowing soldiers and being good at war, you only need to know one of them, and you can travel the world freely and support the bureaucrats. Wouldn't this be a smoother path than the scientific examination? ”

Shen Zeng listened with straight eyes, although at this time in Shaoxing, there were already many scholars who were willing to work as scribes in the government, but it seemed that it was not so easy to let the officials of the government and the opposition use such a person to support the curtain. However, listening to it, it makes sense.

"Will this work?" Shen Zeng asked uneasily.

Wei Shui smiled: "Mr. Shen, you can rest assured." The method I am talking about is a typical example of the predecessors planting trees, and the descendants enjoying the shade. It has to be ten or twenty years before it can really show its benefits! Just think about it, the children in this school have the friendship of fellow villagers. In the future, if one person can support the bureaucracy as he envisioned, he will inevitably promote his classmates. And if there are ten people who succeed, it is not difficult for hundreds of people to be recommended to the scene. When it really comes to Wei's vision, no one in the officialdom will not invite Master Shaoxing, and Master Shaoxing will be used for officials. Everyone is in the same vein and well-informed, so they are more able to play in the officialdom and win in the official career. Moreover, it is not impossible to enter the court from the staff! ”

Shen Zeng was already stunned by Wei Shui. He didn't dare to imagine how big Wei Shui's heart was. At this time, if you don't hesitate to ponder Wei Shui with the worst thoughts, you can even hear a trace of ambition from his mouth.

No one in the officialdom does not invite Master Shaoxing, and Master Shaoxing must be used for officials? Communicate with each other in the same vein? At that time, Da Ming, is it still the Ming of the Zhu family? I'm afraid that I have already become the master of Shaoxing, right?

However, Shen Zeng still had doubts about Wei Shui's idea. Wei Shui's thoughts, can he hide from the adults in the temple who play tricks all day long? Can you still hide from His Majesty the Emperor, who has been an emperor since childhood? The so-called Master Shaoxing may just be a very good dream for Wei Shui.
