Chapter 390: A Thousand Golden City Bones
(Thank you for the support of the two of you, yes, thank you!) οΌ
There was a trumpet sound from the front, which was a call to pause and rest.
Yang Xiong, as the person in charge of the march, was very attentive, and he strictly followed the marching system that was set, and every hour he walked, the team had to rest for a while. Wu Shi Tong and Lu Mill lifted the curtain to replace the charcoal fire, and brought two bowls of cinnamon and jujube yam soup and a plate of dense oranges. Yang Min is the sixteenth grandson of Yang Zhen, a famous minister of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and his father Yang Shangxi is an important minister of Sui, the first commander of the hussars of the Great Sui Sect, and guarded Tongguan in the early days. Later, he served as the secretary of the Duzhi Shangshu, the Shangshu of Henan and the military department of Taiwan, the history of the Puzhou Thorn, the history of the Yingzhou Thorn, the secretary of the military department, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites and other important positions. Kaihuang died ten years ago, and his last official position before his death was the history of Puzhou Assassin, which won the trust of the emperor.
Puzhou has always been an important town of the imperial court, an important passage between Guanzhong and Hedong, and controls the Pujin Bridge, for the imperial court, compared to Tongguan for Guanzhong and Henan. Historically, only the important ministers of the clan guarded this place. Although Yang Shangxi is a distant relative of the royal family, he is also a member of the clan and is very trusted by the emperor. In the end, in Puzhou, he was very benevolent, reintroduced the water, erected embankments, and opened thousands of hectares of rice fields. After his death, the emperor embellished the dynasty for him, and later sent Yang Hong, the king of Hejian, to succeed Puzhou. Later, Yang Shangxi's son Yang Min was transferred to Puzhou Governor Shi from the Zongtuan Hussars last year, and during Yang Hong's absence in the state, he acted as the assassin of Shi. Yi Feng passed, and Yang Min acted as the acting assassin. Come and greet you in person and treat the soldiers and horses.
Yi Feng drank a few sips of cinnamon jujube yam soup. I peeled another dense orange and tasted it, and then handed half of it to Yuwen Yubo. Said: "Only Huainan has fruits, if in Huaibei it is orange, this orange must be from the south of the Yangtze River, very sweet, you can also taste it." This Yang Min is very good at things, and he can sit in Puzhou at this age, which shows the emperor's trust in him. You eat slowly, sleep for a while, and I'll get out of the car and go to the activity. β
After getting off the car. Li Mi immediately greeted him, "What does Your Highness command?" "Li Mi is now doing things by Yi Feng's side, he is very humble, and he works hard and earnestly, although he is just a small Taisun Mansion Xiafang Economic Bureau, but there is nothing good to be high and far-reaching, he is down-to-earth, and he has the trust of Yi Feng. trusts him the most, so that he is always with him, acting as Yi Feng's personal secretary.
"The Dharma Master will help me invite Zhaoren to come."
Liu Wenjing, as Yi Feng's secretary general, actually followed him all the way behind his carriage. See you at any time, see Li Mi coming to invite, hurry over.
Liu Wenjing is a burly figure. With a handsome face, he can be regarded as a beautiful man. Just in his early thirties, he is full of energy. Witty, the most anxious and wise, although he defected to Yi Feng for a short time, he has won Yi Feng's trust and has become an important confidant and adviser, and is Yi Feng's inseparable right-hand man. After Yi Feng was promoted from King Zhao to the grandson, Liu Wenjing was also promoted from the chief bookkeeper of the palace to the school secretary of the Menxiafang Economic Bureau.
Yi Feng got out of the carriage, left the official road, and walked towards the wilderness covered with a thin layer of snow, followed closely by Liu Wenjing, Li Mi, Wei Chigong and other flag guards.
After walking dozens of steps, Yi Feng stretched his waist, took a few breaths of cold air, and bent down to grab two handfuls of snow in his hand and kneaded them into snowballs, upside down. He narrowed his eyes and looked into the distance, and casually asked, "Is that thing done?" β
Liu Wenjing, who was following closely, knew what he was asking, and hurriedly replied, "It's all done." Sanwen Sanyan, six bachelors, as well as Du Yan, Wang Qi and other eight housekeepers, had already rushed to Hefen Academy yesterday with His Royal Highness's handwritten letters and gifts. β
Let the six bachelors and eight housekeepers go together, this is a very grand standard etiquette, they are going to Longmen Hefen Academy to welcome the grandson Xima Wang Tong, the teacher of Yi Feng, a generation of Confucianism. Wang Tong Wen Zhongzi, in the Hedong Confucianism among the prestige is very high, although very young, but the prestige of Confucianism is not low at all, he once sent an edict to Chang'an to see Yang Jian, the monarch and ministers played to Yang Jian is very satisfied, but unfortunately not for the nobles and ministers, in the end only gave him an ordinary county order position, the emperor later made an exception to let him do the Shu King attendant, but the disappointed Wang Tong soon returned to his hometown, a mind to write a book and say, teach and teach apprentices, in Longmen, soon gathered a large number of disciples, more than 1,000 people came here all year round to listen to the lectures, The original Yi Feng had gone south to Hedong many times to listen to lectures. Before Yi Feng entered Beijing last time, he was in a hurry, so he didn't go to Longmen to visit, but just sent someone to send 10,000 yuan to fund the school.
And this time, the emperor granted Wang Tong's grandson the official of washing horses, and Yi Feng had already thought about inviting him to Youzhou. In Yi Feng's heart, Wang Tong is more important than Li Gang and others, not only because he has listened to his classes and has a teacher-student relationship, but also because of his high reputation, but also because now under Yi Feng's command, there are already many Wang Tong's protΓ©gΓ© disciples, such as Wei Zheng, such as Du Yan, Wang Qi, Wen Yanbo, etc., in addition, Fang Xuanling, Dou Wei, Jia Qiong, Yao Yi and even Chen Shuda, Li Jing, etc. are also half of his students, Yi Feng is very much looking forward to using Wang Tong's relationship to catch all his outstanding disciples, especially Fang Xuanling, Li Jing, etc.
Sent six scholars and eight people to go, just as his representative, first sent gifts and handwritten letters, in fact, Yi Feng will personally rush to Hefen Academy, the college he paid for today, personally visit Wang Tong, and invite him to go out of the mountain.
"The generation of Confucianism in the text must be combined with etiquette, this time I take over Youzhou, and I have to use these Confucians and their disciples to help me govern the place well. By the way, what is the reaction of the other great Confucians, and do they have any replies to my invitation? β
"His Royal Highness is now the prince of the country, such a courtesy corporal, the great Confucians from all sides are quite appreciative, and the invitations sent to Confucians everywhere have also been replied to, among which His Highness has been paying more attention to the consent of Hebei Erliu has also just been sent this morning. They were very interested in His Highness's plan to promote education and promote Confucianism, and they were willing to go out to help His Highness. β
"That is, as soon as His Highness's plan is thrown out, which Confucian in the world will sit and live? Hebei University is planned to be so large, once completed, it will immediately become the center of attention of the people of the world. You must know that joining Hebei University is not only famous but also very beneficial, not only with all kinds of financial help, especially the will that His Royal Highness invited to His Majesty before leaving, which is even more tempting for the Confucian scholars. Li Mi also said on the side. The will he said was that after Yi Feng asked Yang Jian to ask Youzhou to run Hebei University, he specially invited a special purpose for Hebei University, that is, Hebei University could recommend 100 outstanding students to the imperial court every year to participate in the imperial examination of the Great Sui, and at the same time, Northern University could also recommend outstanding students to the imperial court to be selected. These two items alone are enough to tempt any student, and they are enough to tempt those Confucians.
After the founding of the Great Sui Dynasty, the imperial examination system began to be implemented, and the emperor was customized for seven years, and every year the states recommended three tributes to enter the Beijing examination, and those with excellent results were called Xiucai. In the eighteenth year of the emperor's reign, that is, last year, he issued an order to take separate examinations, and set up two subjects, Zhixing Xiujin and Qingping Ganji, which were recommended by the Beijing officials above the fifth grade and the local governor and the assassin history. At this time, the imperial examination was still only in its infancy, and even the two most important subjects of Jinshi and Ming Jing in later generations were not yet available, and some were only two somewhat inexplicable subjects. But for many students, this narrow path is already the only way for them to become officials.
Learning and excelling is a very common concept. Although many of the Confucian scholars are dedicated to teaching and do not want to become officials, it does not mean that they do not want their students to become officials. Their ideas must be passed down by the students.
A state only recommends three places for reference, but Yifeng's Northern University has a hundred places. What's more, Northern University also has the qualification to directly recommend outstanding students to the imperial court as officials. This has made the gold content of Northern University surge, coupled with the many preferential treatment of Northern University for teachers and students previously proposed by Yi Feng, it is difficult to think about it.
"Now it's not only Hedong Wen Zhongzi, Hebei Erliu, Bao Kai, Xiao Qi and other famous Confucians in Beijing responded, but the children of the Kwantung scholars in this pass heard the news, and they all jumped, it is reported that there are already many scholars who are about to go to Youzhou to sign up for school. Our team has received hundreds of requests from students to follow us these days. β
"One stone stirs up a thousand waves, okay, that's what you want." Yi Feng is happy, although it is said that there are not all talents among the scholars, and there are many pedantic guys who die reading, but after all, there are too few readers in this era, and each one is very precious, especially if it is encircled for reading, it will envelop the scholars, and even equal to a large number of landlords.
"Well, for the scholars who came here, no matter where they came from, register them first, and then arrange for them to provide tent food, these people are very precious, and they can't be slowed down." Easy air duct.
Li Mi said with some hesitation: "Will it be too much, I also went to see those people, there are few people who can really be educated, most of them are just the sons of landlords and farmers who have read some books in the countryside, I talked to them casually, and found that most of them have not even read the Analects, what kind of talents can they be." β
"Have you ever heard of buying horse bones, scholars, we have to give preferential treatment, scholars have preferential treatment, we have to set an example, so that the world's scholars are convinced, so that those real scholars will come and be used by me." Yi Feng doesn't care about making a gesture and spending some money, these are all worth it, after all, no matter what, the class of scholars, in ancient times, no matter what dynasty, could enjoy some privileged treatment.
