Chapter Eighty-Four: Changhe Academy
Changhe Academy was built by Lu An on the edge of a mountain outside the north of the city, which is not too remote, but it is very quiet and a good place to study.
However, since Lu An released the information of Wuling's new book, the silence here has been completely broken, if you have to describe it, the carriages and horses are crisscrossed, and the bustling is the truest portrayal of Changhe Academy in recent days.
"This is really hot!" When Lu An arrived with Sun Shao and the others, he found that what Guo Jia said did not seem to be enough to summarize the grand occasion here. The current liveliness of Changhe Academy is not too much to describe as crowded, which makes Lu An can't help but think of those famous tourist attractions during the holidays in later generations, and it seems that the current Changhe Academy is similar to that kind of situation.
"Uh-huh! If I monopolize a restaurant here, I think I can make a lot of money! Lu An couldn't help but think with some bad taste.
"Lord, there are too many people, our horses can't get by! Is it for the soldiers to clear a way! Sun Shao was also amazed by the scene here, and then said with a slightly wry smile. At this time, the road to the academy was lined up from here to the gate of the academy, and it was impossible to ride a horse to the academy.
"No, put the horse aside, leave two people watching, let's walk over!" Lu An shook his head and spoke softly. It's rare to encounter this kind of grand scene, and he doesn't want to reveal his identity and let others point fingers at him.
Leaving two soldiers to help them take care of the horses, Lu An and his party followed the flow of people towards the academy.
"Oops! Did you also come to Wuling Academy to sign up? A young student on the side, who seemed to be chattering, kept walking forward with the flow of people, while speaking to the people around him.
"Hmmm! I want to come to study, and I heard that Changhe Academy only charges a small tuition fee and will teach carefully! If you have good grades, not only will the tuition be free, but you can also receive the new book of Wuling, which has been passed down all over the world, and I don't know if it's true or not. A student in a cloth shirt said with some apprehension. From his patched clothes, it can be seen that he must be a student from a poor family.
"Of course it's true, our Lu Taishou posted a notice, enter the Changhe Academy without looking at the identity, no matter how rich or noble, no matter what kind of scholar, only charge a cost of five yuan, after entering the school, you can borrow a new book of Wuling for free every day, and you can borrow it again after returning it, and if there are people who are puzzled on the way, there are also people who are full of learning to start classes every day and explain to us!" A young man replied proudly. "Brother, how do you know so clearly?" Someone on the side asked.
"Of course, I am from Wuling, and before we Lu Taishou announced the new book of Wuling to the world, I had already entered the Changhe Academy to study, and to this day, I have been in the Changhe Academy for half a year!" The young man replied with a smile.
"He, it turned out to be Senior Brother, dare to ask Senior Brother, is it true that Wuling is said to distribute fields to every common person?" When the students next to them heard this, they immediately became solemn and asked them the questions in their hearts.
"Of course it's true, our Lu Taishou, after taking office, in order to benefit the people, first unified the list for all the people of Wuling, re-registered, including those who rented fields for the big families, and then began to distribute according to the population, to ensure that every family can get a piece of land, in addition to Lu Taishou also lightly taxed, anti-corruption, and meritocracy, to this day, the entire Wuling has been extremely rich, not under Xiangyang!" As the young man spoke, the pride on his face was involuntarily revealed, and he was proud to be a member of Wuling.
"Although this is the case, but Lord Lu has some radical means, he has suppressed the family, and even forcibly bought their fields, and also set up a law, using coercive means to control the market price of all things in Wuling, destroying many businesses of the family, now the whole world is disgusted with him, in the future, Lord Lu is afraid that it will be bad, until now Lord Lu has few talents under his hands is the best proof, you must know that the talents in the world are mostly from those century-old families!" A person on the side shook his head, as if he was not very optimistic about Lu An.
"Hmph, those wealthy families deserve it, what one of our Lu Taishou does is not for the sake of the people, the powerful family does business, it is mostly a monopoly, squeezing money and food from the people, how can we Lu Taishou let them do whatever they want! Even if you offend those families, you have to seek benefits for the common people such as us, such righteous acts, it is even more weighty, and now Lu Taishou has founded the Changhe Academy, so that our poor students can also read a lot of books, and it is a pioneering act, if we learn something, if we don't serve Lu Taishou, it is simply a pig and a dog! As the young man spoke, a wave of indignation erupted out, and there was a lot of contempt for those big families.
"Brother Tai's words are too extreme! The family does business, and there is no force for you to buy it, you can not buy it! What you like and I want, why should Lu Taishou be suppressed repeatedly, if it continues for a long time, I am afraid that it will be unpopular and lose in this troubled world. At this time, a soldier dressed in a gorgeous dress stood up and said lightly.
"You are the so-called people in the world, today you are here to study, I don't care about you, but the family is strong, annexing the land, oppressing the people is well known, Lu Taishou is dedicated to the people, has already won the hearts of the people, and we Lu Taishou Shengming reincarnation, Wen Tao Wuluo, not only in the political moves, but also in the martial arts strategy, at the beginning of his tenure he eliminated the demon cow cave for many years for the disaster Wuling, some time ago he completely subdued the Wuxi barbarians, completely pacified the surrounding troubles, the words of defeat, It's just the wishful thinking of your and other families. The young man's eyes were bright, and he was sneering at the words of the scholar in the fancy clothes. Hum! The scholar of the family was speechless, but he refused to show weakness, so he snorted coldly at the moment and stopped speaking. Senior brother, don't worry about him, you see that he was born in a family, and now he also wants to come to study for the new book of Wuling? It can be seen that they also have that ability, so let's tell us more about the things that need to be paid attention to in the academy! Some poor scholars on the side hurriedly pulled the young man past and persuaded him.
"Hehe, in fact, there is nothing to pay attention to, it's good to go to school, but you have to follow the rules after entering the academy! This is the most important thing, otherwise you will be expelled even if you enter! The young man smiled and spoke.
"What rules?"
"First, you must not be a traitor or commit illegal things, and second, classmates can exchange knowledge, but there must be no fighting, and everyone is equal in the academy, that is, no matter what identity you have outside, there are only classmates or teachers inside, no other identity, and there are some details, anyway, as long as you behave rightly, you will not break the rules." The young man briefly said some general information, so that these students have a basic understanding of Changhe Academy.
"Oh, by the way, there are still some things to inform you, the academy will select the best ones from all the students every other month, not only exempt all tuition, but even reward silver money and a few new books of Wuling, and in the academy, there are often some jobs posted, if you are shy in your pocket, you can do it, you can get some money to make a living, and even use it to pay tuition!" The young man suddenly thought of something again, and spoke again.
"There is such a good treatment, that is, as long as you read the book well, you will have no worries at all?" Some poor scholars were surprised. If you get to that point, you can still make money while studying, and even get the world-famous new book of Wuling, which is simply unheard of.
"I don't dare to do that thought of choosing a few of the most outstanding students from so many students, but what is that job?" There are also some poor scholars who are more rational and know that they are hopeless, but they care about those jobs.
"Well, there are a lot of these, some of them are to help the students clean up the chores, and help the academy maintain order and order, etc., in addition, if you feel that you have some talents in your chest, you can take on the more difficult ones, go to the yamen to help for a few days, and help those county officials to do something." The young man explained.
"It's really intimate, I can earn some change for my livelihood while studying, Lord Lu is really thoughtful."
"Of course, Lu Taishou is dedicated to creating such beautiful conditions for me and other poor students, if I can't read some books with my heart and wait for future returns, it will be really shameless to live in heaven and earth."
"When it is!"
