The disciples of the outer fang may not all be students with good grades, but they are not in Hezhong Hebei, only for coolies, and they are running together on the same line. The disciples of the outer fang are uneven, and some of them have good family conditions, and even invite their husbands to teach alone at home, which is not comparable to the kind of open-faced education by the riverbank. And this time, the selection of students is mainly based on grades.

This leads to a consequence, that is, most of the disciples from the outer fang who choose the middle school are from good backgrounds and have some education, and if they are divided into classes immediately, the fifty students in class A will at least let the outer disciples occupy forty-five people. But Song Jiu was worried. Their family is good, but the disciples in Hezhong have a poor family background, and they are limited to under the age of eighteen, and they are in contact every day, what will happen?

Horses and donkeys have a place to tie up, not far from the river embankment, and they can be tied casually. Even they had the money to let the people build horses for them, but Song Jiu didn't dare to imagine the consequences, so he said: "This school is not a academy, nor is it a state institution, it cultivates students who can bear hardships and stand hard work, and can be independent, and then put some knowledge into practice, if you think you are here for vacation, please go back." Also, copy the fifteen division rules outside, and if you can do it, you will come tomorrow, and you are not allowed to ride a horse or a donkey, you are not allowed to take servants, you are not allowed to show off your wealth to other students, and the fifteen division rules, I will expel those who violate them. If you feel that you can't do it, don't come early. The number of places is limited, and I would like to free it up for students who are actually coming to study! ”

Song Jiufei was Song Jiu last year, and this year Song Jiu is a seven-rank official, and the one who dared to raise the bar with Song Jiu only promised to copy the teacher's rules.

Fifty students copied the teacher's rules on paper with a brush, but Song Jiu was pondering.

Zhao Kuangyin said that he was too learned.

Song Jiu also briefly talked about practicality, but didn't say much. In fact, he can give more advice, and it is Zhao Kuangyin's business to listen to it or not. I didn't say much about it. That Taixue was destined to be an aristocratic school. It can't be helped, in this day and age. Each person's starting point is bound to be different. But Song Jiu didn't want his own academy to become like that in the future. But he can still stop it. In the future, once the academy is established, it is open to expanding regional enrollment, and even there are students from other states and counties, what will I do when the time comes?

Students are selected based on their grades, and only rich children are chosen, and how many children from poor families can go to school. What is a qualification? Moreover, most of these students come here to keep their family business, and their children will settle accounts and manage accounts. will be truly reassured. Therefore, their minds can only be focused on accounting and arithmetic, and they will not heed the call of the state. This is something that the imperial court may not like.

There are many problems, and Song Jiu faintly regrets choosing students based on his grades this time.

And he found another trouble for himself, and that was the textbook.

The two doctors and Zhu San don't have to worry, this group of students don't need to teach a thousand characters, but some are taught by textbooks, literacy has Zilin, speaking texts, and there are nine classics of scripture and righteousness, in addition to the nine classics, there are rams, Gu Liang, Mao poems, etiquette, erya, Chinese, etc. The annotation excludes Kong Yingda's "Five Classics of Justice". There are also hundreds of well-known commentaries on the scriptures. Historical books are mainly historical records, Han books and Later Han books, but there are dozens of related historical books. There are others, such as the Kaiyuan ceremony. The Ming law not only has to know the law of the Song Dynasty, but also the Han and Tang dynasties. Their laws can also be used as a reference in judging.

Not to mention a year, they will not worry about the teaching materials for a lifetime.

Song Jiu can't do it, he must start from scratch.

But he also has a way. Gathering the 40 remaining students will not be able to learn as they did last year. Arithmetic, in particular, was created from scratch last year. It must be taught from the basics. This year, this level will be skipped, and I will not teach thousand-character essays, nor will I teach arithmetic in the first and second grades of primary school.

Song Jiu did not release it, but it was also written, which could be distributed to the people in the river as an enlightenment textbook, so that they could learn, or teach their own children, or teach in the open air on the river embankment, but they would not be brought to the school house to study. It is then written from the equivalent of the third grade of elementary school. Including accounting and personality, there is no need to make up the abacus, there is an abacus oral decision, and everyone who knows it will be able to fight. Song Jiu turned out last year's lecture notes, used this handout as an outline, and asked students to participate in the writing, and then Song Jiu summarized and revised them.

The heat faded away, and when night fell, the autumn insects began to sing. However, there is a lot of rain, and it falls from time to time for a day, and the rain at the end of summer will not make the people stop to rest. The people of this age are especially capable of suffering.

However, it affected the progress of the project.

As soon as it rains, the cement building must be draped with a straw curtain, and there are many cloudy days and few sunny days, the road surface in front is just a little dry, and the sky is dark again, and tears are flowing. There were many people working and walking around, making the river island muddy everywhere, and even fewer people came to see the excitement.

At this time, the imperial court sent two gentlemen.

The age is not very old, one is a student in the first year of Jianlong, called Huang Cheng, the word is Yin, and the other is a student in the second year of Jianlong, called Chen Taizhi, and the word is Xin. In his thirties, he served as a scribe as a student, and he was more honest and loyal.

In fact, the imperial court also got the wrong direction, and what was learned in the school was that the object would be able to calculate, and now Song Jiu didn't dare to say that he wouldn't learn the scriptures and the Ming law, but it was a supplement, and the former was the master. You don't have to be a doctorate, everyone who can pass the examination can teach. On the contrary, Song Jiu was afraid that if he got some great Confucianism, there would be a conflict at that time.

Dr. Yan and Dr. Zhang looked at the backs of the two gentlemen, very dissatisfied, and said, "The court is thin." ”

"Dr. Yan, Dr. Zhang, the court is not thin, but there is no great Confucian willing to come."

"Song Jiu, let's set up a academy quickly."

"It's not okay to set up an academy, the imperial court is about to start construction Taixue, you said that those great Confucians are willing to go to the academy, or are they willing to go to Taixue."

The two were speechless.

"But it's so good, if you come to the big Ruduo, two, what is the chief of the mountain and the deputy head ......of the mountain?"

Hearing this, the two of them obviously came to their senses, and Dr. Zhang said, "Jiulang, how old is the mountain chief of Taiyi Academy?" ”

"I don't really know...... You are, oh, rest assured, I won't fight for this mountain chief, but Dr. Zhang, you are also dangerous, once you become a academy, even if there is a Taixue, the imperial court will forcibly transfer two or three heavy Confucians. Dr. Zhang, are you a well-known Confucian in the world? Even those Wenchen who were transferred to the capital by Houshu seem to be much more famous than you. ”

Dr. Zhang was frustrated.

Cui'er, who was choosing vegetables, bowed her head.

"Dr. Zhang, I didn't say you, we've been fighting for more than a year. It's noisy, it's noisy, but there's one thing you don't admire. That is, people have to be brave enough to face reality. Whatever the mountain grows, that's it. I don't think you should think about it, that deputy mountain chief can dream at night. ”

"The deputy chief of the mountain is not bad, the deputy chief of Taiyi Academy gave a lecture in Xiangguo Temple last time, which caused countless scholars to come to listen to the lecture."

"Little girl, choose vegetables, can Taiyi Academy compare with this academy?" Dr. Zhang said angrily.

Song Jiu Ha Dale continued to tease and said: "Even if it can't be compared, in my opinion, the deputy mountain chief is also dangerous." Wakadai College. Will the imperial court only transfer one heavy Confucian? Maybe three or four will be transferred, and you guys, don't fight, don't dare to fight! ”

Cui'er eats and eats.

But Song Jiu's personality is calm, this is a condensed tragedy of the times, is Taiyi Academy important, or is this academy important? At least he has contributed dozens of capable scribes to the country, what about Taiyi Academy? I won't talk about the significance of popularizing science.

Dr. Zhang left Song Jiu speechless and said, "I won't talk nonsense with you. Go and teach. ”

I went to school with a copy of the Analects.

Dr. Yan sat in the kitchen and thought about it, and said, "Jiulang, no matter what, we are also the founders of the Future Academy. ”

Song Jiu pointed to the late peach tree of the old Yang family in the south. There were many peaches hanging on it, and he said, "It was the Yang family who planted the trees, but it was the rich people who ate the peaches." The Yang family couldn't eat a few peaches by themselves, so they sold them for a few dollars. ”

"That's right. The person who picks the peaches is not necessarily the one who carries the peaches," Cui'er came to the spirit.

Dr. Yan glared at her fiercely and said, "I picked the old man's peaches." I also picked Song Jiu's peaches! ”

But not necessarily, maybe with Zhao Kuangyin's current mentality, he will take the academy very seriously, not as much as Taixue, but if Taixue becomes the plaything of the children of the aristocracy, it will regard the academy more seriously than Taixue. Taiyi Academy has a great influence in the hearts of scholars, and it may not be able to affect the feelings of Zhao Da and Zhao Er. If it is mainly based on the arithmetic accounting of the physical grid, it is the great Confucian who comes to take charge, and the deputy mountain chief will also be produced among the three of them, and Song Jiu's position is more stable than Yan Zhang.

It's still early, and Song Jiu won't think about it.

Walking out of the kitchen and looking at the classroom, Su Xiaohao was taking the second class of students to teach arithmetic, and Wang Daji was leading the third class to teach accounting. Dozens of students were nervous at first, but fortunately, when Song Jiu went south last year, they let them study by themselves, and they had been honed, and they only stumbled and couldn't speak clearly for a few days at first, but now they can start to speak in an orderly manner. But because of the thin foundation, he can't draw inferences from one another, and the quality of the lectures is not as good as Song Jiu's.

Cui'er put down the dish in her hand and followed Song Jiu's side.

Song Jiu looked at her and asked, "Cui'er, what do you want to ask?" ”

"Why hasn't Tsing Yi come back yet?"

Song Jiu scratched his head and said, "I don't know, there is something to delay." ”

Lu Qingyi's time is not short, this is to Hezhou, either to Lingnan, or to take the waterway slowly, one to come and go for two months is enough. But what can happen? The entire people of Jianghuai are recovering their vitality. The Southern Tang Dynasty and the Song Dynasty faced each other across the river, although the two sides were tightly blocked, but they did not invade each other and were peaceful for a long time. This is also the advantage of the founding of the country, as long as there is peace, the land is vast and sparsely populated, and the people will be able to recover their vitality immediately. In addition, the entire Jianghuai water conservancy is developed, and most of it is a plain area, so it can be said that the most prosperous place in the Song Dynasty is the Lianghuai.

Or if you don't want to go back to Beijing and guard your mother, then you should also write a letter, after all, he is a servant who has been trained by Han Xizai, and he is not a person who does not know etiquette.

Ten days later, Lu Qingyi came back, but he came back relatively late, and only returned to the capital in early August.

Cui'er complained: "Tsing Yi, why did you come back!" ”

Tsing Yi drooped his head and looked at Song Jiu, and said for most of the day: "Jiulang, I want to ask you to do me a favor." ”

"Say it."

"My father fled to Jiangnan and was separated from my mother, and my mother remarried a family surnamed Bi in Hezhou, and later, with the help of Mr. Han, I found out about my mother's whereabouts, and my father was critically ill in bed at that time, so Mr. Han quietly sent some money to my mother."

Song Jiu nodded, it is not a scandal to remarry in the Song Dynasty, Fan Zhongyan's mother was also forced by life to remarry a family surnamed Zhu, Wang Anshi's student Li Ding's biological mother remarried three times, and gave birth to three sons, including Foyin and Li Ding, all of whom are famous figures. However, the former is beautiful news, and the latter made Su Dongpo a scandal. In particular, the Jianghuai war is endless, not to remarry, but whether it can be married.

Tsing Yi continued: "I went to Hezhou and found my mother, but I didn't expect that the money sent by Mr. Han was obtained by the Bi family's wife, and not a penny was given to my mother, and the family was very harsh on my mother. Can I implore Jiurou to come forward for me and send someone to redeem my mother, I am willing to be a cow and a horse to repay Jiurou's great kindness. ”

Saying that he was going to kneel.

Song Jiu finally understood why Lu Qingyi had taken so long to come back, and when Tsing Yi went over to negotiate, the family did not agree, or took the opportunity to blackmail, so it was delayed. However, this matter is a bit difficult to handle, the concubine is not a person, it is property, and it is really worthless to say that she is worthy, and she can even exchange a woman for a few dollars. said that she was worthless, if the other party did not let go, no matter how much money she paid, people would not sell it, then the government would not be able to force her. But this matter is not too difficult to do, Song Jiu thought about it, pulled Tsing Yi up, and said, "Tsing Yi, don't worry, I will ask someone to redeem your mother." ”

"Then thank you Jiulang."

"No thanks, since you're back, study with peace of mind."

"Jiulang, I saw a manuscript on the road," Tsing Yi took out a booklet from his arms, Song Jiu flipped through it, and Cui'er shouted from the side: "How can this be?" (To be continued......)
