Tamsui River, Taipei County

Countless wooden rafts have been built along the banks of the river, and the slow water squeaks and spins against the recessed wooden buckets, and the clear water is poured into the tank and flows in all directions.

Not far away, is the newly completed Taipei Academy, large scale, covers a wide area, into the academy, is a vast front yard, has been paved with blue bricks, standing everywhere with giant trees, the front is bulldozed by craftsmen, written with some inspirational classical words, on the left and right, are built rows of wooden houses, is the daily rest and accommodation of students.

Looking back, looking ahead, there are dozens of lecture halls that are taller and more majestic than wooden houses, and at this time, the sound of reading is coming from it.

"At the beginning of human beings, nature is good" entered the school, and I saw hundreds of students sitting behind small tables, basically around six years old, all looking at the front attentively, and the one who lectured on it was Xie Lingyun.

What does this mean? Does anyone know? ”

“”

Xie Lingyun put down the hand-copied textbook in his hand, turned down the lecture hall and said with a smile: "At the beginning of people, their nature is good, what they say is that people are born in the world, and their character is good, understand?" ”

"Yes~~~~~," replied the boys and girls in a loud voice.

"Sex is close, Xi is far away"

"Sex is close, Xi is far away"

The establishment of Taipei Academy completely deviated from the normal thinking of the common people, and the first article alone, that women can be enrolled, set off heated discussions in the entire county.

It is said that a woman is virtuous if she is not talented, marrying a wife and giving birth to a child, Gu Xianggong, standing quietly in front of the husband's door, handing tea to warm the bed.

This is a true portrayal of this time, whether it is an ordinary family or a child of a large family, everyone's concept is wrapped tightly by this kind of thought, the low status of women is well known, and the academy was first established, it was smashed in the old ideas, and it was immediately opposed by many people.

Taipei County is now on the right track, just waiting for spring sowing and transplanting, and women, inheriting the Chinese virtues, in the government to bring silkworms, began large-scale breeding industry, just a few months, has harvested three silkworm cocoons, according to the cycle, can harvest cocoons eight times a year, and the entire textile and silk production industry has also been driven.

In response to the huge village houses, several silk houses have been opened in exchange for their own needs, and in response to this change, the Taishou Mansion has made a promise not to charge any taxes for a year, so that everyone will be ecstatic, and the production progress will be accelerated, with a view to earning more goods in the year.

And the admission of girls to school, because of this, has been opposed by many people, but for many people, the right to say whether these adopted children will stay is in the hands of Xu Yanzhi.

At present, the ratio of men and women in the valley is extremely imbalanced, for this, Xu Yanzhi after the calf Zhou Tao and they attacked the head of the barbarian, he started a transaction with the bone and tooth department, the goods were exchanged for the women of the tribe, and then married the Han people, although these women are not black, but it is better than nothing.

Moreover, as long as she intermarries with the Han people, it is forbidden for the woman to tattoo the tribal totem on her face, and the household registration is also changed to Han nationality.

With the addition of these women, there are happy events in the entire Taipei County every day, so that the women of those tribes are also full of curiosity when they come into contact with the traditional wedding of the Han people for the first time.

For women who newly marry into the Han family, there are extremely harsh laws in the county, for example, no beating and scolding, no abuse, once reported or caught, they will be sent to work in the salt factory for three years, if the circumstances are serious, the criminal law is heavier, for the whistleblower, there are also money rewards, so that the extremely precious copper coins and silver flow into the county, but also after Xie Yu's approval, anyway, it is the gold and silver left by Sun En, and when it enters the island, it will be collected back after all.

Now, the whole county has shown a thriving meaning, and in the streets of each planned wooden house village, there are many shops, some are making utensils, some are doing small crafts, there are salt shops operated by the government alone, and there are also new wineries opened by the people, of course, all the wine in the winery is made from wild fruits in the island, and if you want to make grain, there must be no way.

There was a famine on the mainland, and in a few months, the ships going to Ninghai transported back more than 100,000 people, and for these new arrivals, Xu Yanzhi deliberately concentrated a few miles away from the salt works, and the new land movement and logging army began to shout overwhelmingly.

With a loud golden sound, the school was out, and suddenly, thousands of students rushed out of the school, of different sizes, tall, short, fat and thin, laughing and playing in the square.

Xie Lingyun was followed by a somewhat demented child, with snot, tugging at his clothes, not leaving an inch.

This child's name is Ah Xiao, and he is a child of the common people who has just fled from the land, and the family is in full swing these days, and the child is sent to the school.

Although Ah Xiao is a little stupid, he can still distinguish who is good to him and who is bad to him, stupid people have stupid blessings, and when Xie Lingyun saw it, he took it with him.

Outside the school, several scholars gathered together to talk and laugh lively, including Yao Qing.

When everyone saw Xie Lingyun come out with Ah Xiao, they all bowed down and said, "Son, good!" ”

"You're welcome, you're welcome, what's the matter, these children" Xie Lingyun waved his hand, letting everyone be polite, and as he was talking, a girl with two pigtails jumped over happily and shouted: "Mr. Dean, Mr. Dean, what is knowing is knowing?" ”

When Xie Lingyun heard this title, he was secretly ashamed in his heart, on the day of the completion of Taipei Academy, Xu Yanzhi stood in front of the gate of the academy seriously, and appointed him as the president of the academy in front of the black and oppressive people, and he didn't turn his back on him.

This is a privilege that can only be borne by the great Confucianism who is rich and full of cars, and he was deducted from his head by this Taishou at once, so he learned that he had, but it didn't reach the point of overpowering the crowd, speaking of prestige, hey! In the county, he is really a child of the Xie family, with this reputation, the status of the scholar is already high, and when he puts on the dean's hat, he is really everywhere he goes, and he is faced with grand greetings.

The beginning of the days was really a little unaccustomed, slowly, but let him feel a responsibility, every day through the wooden house village road, those people saw the bow, see the waist, the respect of the face, as if to give him a great motivation, every day to do learning, courtesy to others, can't help but let the people of the Xie family on the Xie family on the high three points.

Xie Lingyun smiled and touched the girl's head, looked at the other party's pink little face, and then reached out and pinched his face and said: "Knowing is knowing, that is, you know what you know, you don't know what you don't know, you don't know what you don't know, understand?" ”

The girl tilted her head and smiled: "It seems to understand, but Daddy said that it is useless for girls to study, is this true?" ”

This kind of thought, before Xie Yu told him, also existed in his brain, and the most impressive was the grandmother Xie Daoyun in the clan, the family of the mansion, teaching their children to be knowledgeable and rational since childhood, many ladies are not only full of poetry and books, but also proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, just like this grandmother, read too many books, understand too many principles, so that she is like a celebrity, full of arrogance, and no one can be tolerated in her eyes, of course, except for Wang Xianzhi.

Since Sun En broke the Huiji, Wang Ningzhi died, and all his children were killed, so that this talented woman was also lonely all her life, living alone in the county's mansion, and rarely returning to Jiankang.

The ending was very sad, so that Xie Lingyun often heard it, and he couldn't help but sigh.

Thinking of this, Xie Lingyun shook his head and said, "Don't listen to what your father said, girls and boys have to study, so that they can understand a lot of truth." ”

The girl nodded and ran away happily.

Hong Xiu smiled from the pile of scholars: "Childe, these children are really well-behaved and studious, they are really endless questions!" ”

"Exactly, today a child asked what it means that the bird flies against his hometown, and the fox must be the first hill to die." Yao Qing also smiled and said.

Everyone laughed and asked, "How do you answer?" ”

Yao Qing said with a smile: "The bird flies thousands of miles, and eventually has to return to its hometown, the fox dies on the hill, and the fox dies with its head towards the place where it was born, which is the meaning of the ancients preaching and missing their hometown." ”

Xie Lingyun nodded, this sentence is from "Nine Chapters: Shijiang", which has the same meaning as Yao Qing's explanation.

Then the boy turned and asked, "If the fox goes out and happens to be killed by the hunter, how can he face the place where he was born?" After Yao Qing finished speaking, everyone laughed.

"I'm so ashamed that I can't answer and read poetry in vain!"

Xie Lingyun said with a smile: "Children's thoughts are strange, how can they claim to be in vain if they ask like this, they will be able to reach it, and if they reach it, they will know it slowly." ”

Yao Qing nodded and arched his hand: "It's this Li'er, it's this Li'er!" ”

Hong Xiu scratched his head and said, "Brother He Shan, most of the children are illiterate, why did you start teaching such a classic sentence." ”

Yao Qing turned around and wondered: "Brother Boyuan, how can Xiao Ke teach this, now that I think about it, it should be the child's family." ”

"Huh~ It seems that there are also people who read poetry and books among these people." Hong Xiu turned around and said: "Childe, there are thousands of students in the academy, just rely on us, so it is better to select some literate scholars among the people and introduce them into the academy, which can not only solve the problem of lack of manpower in front of us, but also give us leisure time to write classics that are not available in the county." ”

Xie Lingyun nodded, but his brows were slightly furrowed, hearing the sentence that the bird flew against his hometown, and the fox would die on the hill, it was obvious that some people were homesick, and now, the whole island strictly forbids the people to return to their hometowns, and they are cautious about each ship.

But after a long time, it is inevitable that something will happen, and it seems that this matter should be discussed with Xu Yanzhi as soon as possible to find a solution.

"Don't worry, my uncle will come in a few days, he will solve it, we will teach these children every day, and make the most time to remember the books and copy them into books, which is the first thing." Xie Lingyun said.

"Yes!" Everyone answered in unison.
