Chapter 830 Famous Teachers and Apprentices (II)

@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

Zhuangyuan Building is famous for high-end catering in the capital, Miaoyou Street, this street from the street to the end of the street, Qingyi sè is a high-end restaurant with its own characteristics, most of the dignitaries and nobles are here to drink and pay customers, and its price is naturally admirable.

Usually in the temple right street even if the high-end champion building, at the time of this big competition, naturally by the want to beg for the head, and not bad money of the people, a table has risen from the usual three taels of silver, to ten taels. But don't be too expensive, since last year, the exam-taking lifters have arrived in Beijing one after another, here is full every day, a table is hard to find, in order to get what you want, it is not uncommon for the lifters to bid for a hundred taels of a table. However, it is the first time in many years that such a large amount of money has been contracted!

How much does a three-story restaurant cost for a day? The boss didn't see through, but based on the number of tables in the champion building, two seats were opened in the morning and evening, and it would be almost 6,000 taels. Even if there is a discount, it will not be less than 5,000 taels, and the money of Jiangsu and Zhejiang is not bad, which makes the people of the capital jaw-dropping.

Upstairs and downstairs, there are more than 30 tables of rich dishes, and more than 330 juzi or gongsheng, who are not from a province, including Nanzhi, Zhejiang, Fujian, and even Jiangxi, but they all have one thing in common, they are all from Suzhou Fuxue, which is why they can gather together today.

Sitting on the main seat like the moon held by the stars, he looked upstairs and downstairs with a silent smile, looking at the close disciples who were making mistakes, laughing and joking, toasting at the table, and mentioning the ears and punishments. I finally realized the pride and pride of Tang Taizong Li Shimin who said that 'the heroes of the world are all in my hub'.

There is a way to be a tree for ten years and a tree for a hundred years. I am afraid that when he was still the prefect of Suzhou, he advocated education reform, broke the four chronic diseases of the Ming Dynasty official school system, such as seniority, hypocrisy, regional households, and weak teachers, increased capital investment, invited famous teachers and Confucians, implemented assessment and elimination of students, and opened enrollment to non-Suzhou students and treated them equally.

However, he did not get carried away, knowing that he had a first-mover advantage in order to bring together the elites of the southeast. But he knows very well that this cannot be replicated, because at that time, there was only one college in the country, Suzhou Fuxue, which was committed to cultivating outstanding candidates at any cost. As for the official schools in the rest of the provinces, they are just places where the students are named and the professors eat at home. Those famous academies were deeply influenced by Yang Ming's painstaking efforts, and most of them abandoned the teaching of science, and talked about the metaphysical emptiness that had nothing to do with the society and the common people all day long, or turned into criticizing the government and expressing their true meaning, which was not to govern their careers.

Those students who study hard and are eager to enter the official career through the imperial examination are so eager to have a special school to guide them in their knowledge and help them take the exam!

On the one hand, there is a strong demand for education, and on the other hand, there are government schools and academies that cannot provide qualified education, and the huge contradiction between supply and demand makes the Suzhou Fuxue that was born out of thin air suddenly become a huge magnet, attracting students from all over the world to come and worship under his mén.

At that time, the southeastern provinces supported the study tours of their own students...... Because Xiucai did not have money to study at the official school, and the government had to give rations, which was the so-called 'food house'...... In October of the second year of Hongwu, Zhu Yuanzhang ordered the establishment of government schools and county schools in all prefectures and counties across the country, giving food to students, and increasing the number of meals for teachers and students. Since then, all students who enter the prefecture and county schools will be paid by the state, and the students will be exempted from paying taxes. At that time, the dynasty was founded and there was a lack of talents, so Emperor Taizu Gao increased the number of students and gave special favors over the years. In the third year of Xuande, I felt that there were too many and too many students in Xuande, which had become a burden on all prefectures and counties, so I created a quota and reduced the number of students for a while. This reform offended many people, who were agitated for the restoration of the old system at the first opportunity.

In the first year of Jingtai, the new emperor ascended to the pole, and in order to win the hearts of the people, the quota of students was cancelled. Later, three years after Chenghua, the number of students was fixed again. In the past ten years, Zhengde has once again liberalized the number of students, and since then it has been unacceptable. Many people sharpen their heads and drill into the prefectural school, because as soon as they enter the school, they put on a five-sè silk shirt with wide sleeves and soapy edges, which is equivalent to jumping the dragon mén. Even if you can't get into the Jinshi exam for a lifetime, as long as you occupy the number of students, you will still be exempted from classes and enjoy the food rationed by the imperial court.

Up to now, the huge and bloated team of students has become one of the 'three redundancies' that plague the Ming Dynasty's finances...... The other two are 'redundant officials' and 'redundant clans'. In order to alleviate the heavy financial burden, the government has stipulated that the rice must be collected in person every month, and cannot be collected on behalf of the person, and it will not wait for it to expire. For the government at all levels, which was deeply affected by the anti-Japanese war and the general financial constraint at that time, the students of this school were willing to go to Suzhou to study, of course, it was unwanted.

Shen Mo took advantage of the huge benefits brought by the opening of Suzhou, as well as the prestige he established after the 'food crisis', to forcefully implement this reform in Suzhou, and put people who did not want to carry the burden on their backs. At that time, this caused a huge opposition, and those expelled students scolded him, saying that he was 'unworthy of being a parent official in the house', and Nanzhi's school platform also ignored him, saying that he 'acted recklessly and destroyed the ancestral system', which attracted the reprimand of the Ministry of Rites.

If it weren't for the fact that the halo of his 'six champions' at that time had not faded, the emperor and the cabinet wanted to set an example of a scholar, and did not pursue this matter, but only let him restrain a little, I am afraid that the reform of Suzhou Fuxue would have died a long time ago.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Now the situation is very different from that time, as the southeastern provinces regained tranquility, a huge amount of silver poured in, the big families became rich, and the government became rich...... Although their origins are still from this province, they are deeply influenced by the upbringing of Suzhou, and it is really hard to say which side they will be emotionally on.

Although Shen Mo's goal was to build Suzhou Fuxue into the first real university in the country, he never had the idea of continuing to monopolize it, because the scholars' academic status was bound to the household registration and they had to return to their hometown to take the exam. So if the provinces don't want to continue to lose students, they will have countless ways to achieve their goal, and even he can't stop it.

Therefore, when he was in Nanjing last year, he took the initiative to propose to those lords, hoping that they could vigorously build schools and cultivate talents from their hometowns and provinces just like cultivating their own children. Although everyone may not have taken it to heart at that time, if Shen Mo had spoken before the examination was held, he would not have been regarded as a muffled eater.

Now, the results of the examination must have spread throughout the southeastern provinces, and Suzhou Fuxue took the examination with 330 people, and 97 people ranked first, accounting for two-thirds of the southern list. Whether it is the test rate or the ranking, it is far ahead of the country. It's bound to make those people look like rabbits.

In fact, today, the reason why he no longer shy away from this teacher-student relationship is that in addition to intercepting Li Chūnfang's Hu, there is also an important purpose, that is, to let those guys who don't see rabbits and eagles know that there is another more sincere and solid teacher-student relationship beyond the relationship between Mén students and the lord! As a result, we made up our minds to build a school.

While Hu Silu was thinking about it, Shen Mo heard the students calling him, and when he came back to his senses, it turned out to be Xiǎo Er who sent a plate of rock sugar soft-shelled turtle. I saw that the plate was green and yellow, the oil sauce was tightly wrapped in the fish pieces, and the head of the soft-shelled turtle was raised high...... Shen Mo is a person who has come over, so he naturally recognizes this famous dish of Zhuangyuanlou as 'dominant'!

The one who dominates is also the champion. Can a scholar resist the yòuhuò of this color head? But there is only one champion in each subject, and if each person has a head, this color will be boring. Therefore, the rules of the champion building, no matter how many people there are, as long as they eat together, there is only one rock sugar soft-shelled turtle, and the lifters will use various ways to compete for this 'leader'!

It is precisely because of the addition of the element of competition that the lifters who want to get this color will naturally do their best, often jīng color, some special jīng color, will also be passed on as a good story, become part of the charm of the champion building. Therefore, everyone who comes here knows that whenever this plate of soft-shelled turtle is served, the highest cháo of the banquet atmosphere will also arrive.

As a rule, it is the most honorable person in the room who decides who will be the leader. Of course, this is a difficult problem to choose, just that one turtle head, who to give or not to whom, will offend a large number of people, so the final result is a competition, and the winner will have it!

But this time the situation is more special, after all, there are still most of you here, and there is no middle rank...... Even if these people can think of the answer, they won't say anything, after all, they haven't even been admitted to the Gongshi, so what kind of face do they have to grab this top?

It is necessary to take into account the feelings of these people, and it is better to be elevated, and have some educational significance, so as to reflect his character as a teacher...... After all, it is better to gather with profit, and not to indoctrinate these guys who have not yet entered the officialdom when they are still enthusiastic, and when?

Shen Mo thought about it for a while, and suddenly a couplet popped up in his mind, and after thinking about it again, it couldn't be better, so he said shamelessly: "I have a couplet here, you can check it." ”

The students all held their breath, and all the upstairs fell to the railing, lest they miss a word.

"This uplink is...... The sound of the wind, the rain, the sound of reading, the sound is in the ears. After Shen Mo finished speaking, he blushed a little, but fortunately, after drinking some wine, Xiǎo's face was already red.

'The sound of the wind and rain, the sound of reading, the sound of ...... ears' began to think, this is a so-called overlapping word pair, but it is not complicated, for those who love this way, it can be said that it is not difficult. However, the absolutes that Shen Mo did in the past have long become popular legends and are widely spread in Jiangnan, so no one thinks that this 'Holy Hand of the Center' is a horse that has lost its footing, but thinks that he has another deep meaning.

But what does he really mean? It's hard to guess. It can't be cold, so the students threw bricks one after another......

Kazutoshi Motoda is right: 'Mountains sè, water sè, smoke sè, sèsè are all empty'.

Shen has always been right: 'Pine Ming, Bamboo Ming, Zhong Chime Ming, Ming Ming has a way'.

In addition, there were seven or eight people who came out, but they were not very happy, because they all felt that this was not in line with the teacher's mind, nor was it in line with the artistic conception of Shanglian.

At this time, the silent fellow villager mén gave birth to Luo Wanhua, and said a lower link, "family affairs, national affairs, world affairs, everything cares", which immediately won the applause of the house, and everyone said that it was solved and there was no need to be right.

But whether it is or not, the teacher has the final say, so everyone looked at Shen Mo, and listened to him quietly: "Yes, it's all very good, but my generation of scholars is learning the study of saints, and I have the heart of helping the world." Yín's poems are not good at carving insects, making an entertainment ear, how can you compare the level of talent and learning? Then he changed the conversation and said: "But I personally like it the most, the sound of the wind and rain, the sound of reading, and the sound of the ear; State affairs, family affairs, world affairs, everything cares! As he spoke, his gaze swept over the crowd in the audience: "This is also my expectation for you!" ”

Hearing the teacher's words become serious, the students also put away their smiles, and Ju Jīng listened to him: "Everyone here has been studying hard since Xiǎo has been studying hard until now, and has experienced countless hardships and tribulations. What is the purpose of studying so hard? ”

After a short silence, someone whispered: "The title of the gold list ......"

"I can't hear you." Shen Mo said lightly.

"Gold List Title!" The student spoke up.

"What is the title of the gold list for?" Shen Mo asked, "I want to listen to the truth." ”

The hall was silent, and no one answered for a moment.

"If no one says it, then I'll tell you for you." Shen Mo said loudly: "There is a way, there is a golden house in the book!" There is a Yan such as yù in the book! There are thousands of bells in the book! If you study and get a jinshi, you can glorify the mén frieze, you can get ahead, you can get rich, and you can go to many houses. Right? ”

Of course, no one dared to say yes, but there must have been people who thought so.

"If you have such thoughts, please don't call me 'teacher' again!" Shen Mo suddenly raised his voice and said, "I don't recognize such a student silently!" ”

The lobby was extremely quiet, only his serious voice said: "You should all know that now the state affairs are like a snake, and there are difficulties in all directions, and it has reached the point where we have to reform the old and make new ones and turn the tide." In this matter, we must bear extremely arduous responsibilities and endure unprecedented hardships. If you want money and beauty, I advise you to go into business, and if you want a comfortable and comfortable life, I advise you to go home and buy a landlord, and don't expect to get these from officialdom. As my student, you must have this consciousness of 'worrying first and worrying, and then enjoying and happy'! As he spoke, he raised his glass and said, "If you are still willing to follow me, make this one!" In the future, we will share weal and woe, and we will be comrades! If you don't want to follow me and drink this cup, if there is any illegal dereliction of duty or corpse vegetarian meal in the future, don't expect me to remember the teacher-student relationship! ”

"Cheers!" The students raised their glasses and drank the wine in the glass, as for whether it was sweet or bitter, only they knew -
