Chapter 148: Knowledge is Power
Commander Peng made a few circles around the site of Weixue, and his heart was about to explode. It's not pleasing to anyone, and even his own son has been kicked a few times for blocking the road.
This is not just a matter of him Peng Qing, but also a matter of Eunuch Zhang. Originally, the two agreed in advance to use the opportunity of this admission of students to hold a batch of places, and then sell them for silver, and Zuihou divided the spoils in half. Even if you can't get all the places in your hands this time, it's nice to have half of them.
According to Commander Peng's prediction, if the operation is good, it is possible for each person to earn a few hundred taels or even thousands of taels of silver, and in addition, he can also gather a number of contacts.
Although the border town area is relatively poor, so many military attaches are here, and they can squeeze out some silver. After all, the talent is famous and strange, it is worth spending money to win, and it is rare to have a large number of places.
In the past few days, Commander Peng has received more than 200 taels of silver from several people in advance, and the situation can be called very gratifying.
But if the governor and Fang Yingwu were allowed to do this, he would not only spit out the silver, but also make people laugh! Joke that he can't do it!
Thinking of this, Commander Peng couldn't help but hate and said: "What's the big deal, wait for me to go to the neighboring Mizhi Suide to invite a few scholars, and also run a social school!" ”
His maiden relative hurriedly persuaded: "Master Peng listens to my advice, don't think so, if social studies were easy to do, someone would have done it a long time ago." There are ways to deal with things here, you can't do haode, zuihou still want to make jokes!
Not to mention that Fang Yingwu may participate in the college examination next year, it is possible to be taken care of if he enters social studies. Even from Fang Yingwu's point of view, he is a talent from Zhejiang, a major imperial examination province!
This is much higher than the gold content of the scholars in the northwest borderlands, which is a golden signboard. Within a radius of several hundred miles. There's really no one else who can compare.
Not to mention Yansui Town, even the nearby Mizhi Suide has not been a jinshi in recent decades. The people who have been out can be counted on one hand, where do you go to find a more haode teacher such as Fang Yingwu?
Even if you find a more haode. But others will not believe that the level of readers in this area will be higher than that of Fang Yingwu, and the readers in Jiangsu and Zhejiang can show off their talents, and they are all extremely perverted. Besides, haven't you heard any other rumors lately? ”
"What other rumors can there be?" Commander Peng asked. He's surprised, everyone seems to know a lot of rumors recently, why doesn't he know?
The relative replied truthfully: "There are rumors in the city that this Fang Yingwu is sixteen years old and talented, and he is a prodigy-like figure, and he must have a bright future at a young age.
And his show is the Zhejiang Provincial School Officer, and the next township test will be presided over by this school officer. Therefore, it is not a problem for the rumor side to be in the matter. It's a further exam, and with his background and talent, he is also very sure! ”
Commander Peng pretended to be disdainful and said: "Even if he can get the Jinshi, what's the use of it to the locals, besides, it's not that he will be the Jinshi right now." A group of people flock to it, and it is not too embarrassing. ”
The relative shook his head and explained: "Scholars are very particular about relationships and contexts, such as teachers, fellow villagers, and the same year, and they can't enter the circle of scholars without this kind of connections."
If Fang Yingwu wins the Jinshi in the future, he will have a great future. Aren't the people who have entered social studies today all the student disciples of Fang Jinshi? With this relationship, there are naturally conditions for integrating into Shilin.
If the locals are interested in studying, where else can they find such good things? It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a wilderness when looking at the local area. There is not even a person who reads, let alone someone who can cling to it.
It's true that Futai is a reader, but it's impossible for Futai to put down the shelf. I don't have the time. In this way, it is possible for scholars who come to Yulin to run schools in large quantities and accept apprentices because of coincidence.
Miss this opportunity, and next time I want to cling to the clear stream relationship. I can only wait for Yansui Town to produce a Jinshi of my own, and I don't know if my generation will be able to see it in my lifetime? ”
The more you hear others talk about the benefits of things. Commander Peng felt very confused, and sneered: "Look at what you said as if it were true, you are sure that Fang Yingwu will definitely be a jinshi in the future?" Don't flatter the blind! ”
"It doesn't matter, haven't you heard some other rumors?"
What's the fucking rumor? Could it be that the city is full of rumors, and only he Peng Qing doesn't know? Commander Peng suddenly became angry!
He scolded: "Just say that if there is a fart, let it go!" Don't go through the rumors! ”
The relative knew that Commander Peng had a bad temperament, and although he was unhappy when he was scolded, he could only endure it because of the power of the command. Said cautiously: "There is also news that the business master of this party is the former chief auxiliary businessman, and his father is Hanlin Shuchang. In particular, his maternal grandfather was Wang Shu, the governor of Jiangnan, who was born in the scholarly family of Sanyuan, Shaanxi, and Wang Shu's son founded the most haode academy in the province.
Even if Fang Yingwu can't get into the Jinshi in the future, as long as he enters the society and worships Fang Yingwu's operator, then he can call himself the apprentice grandson of Shang Xianggong and Fang Shuchang in the future? Can you have a little bit to do with the Mihara Wang Shu Boss?
With this context, it can be regarded as having a source of teachers, which is better than a lonely person who has nothing at all. Maybe you can climb to the Sanyuan Wang family and go to the Sanyuan Academy to study, isn't this much better than living in a small world in Yulin City? ”
Commander Peng couldn't scold if he wanted to, although he was still very annoyed, but he didn't know what to scold. He didn't want to admit that he was a frog at the bottom of a well, who was short-sighted.
From the very beginning, Commander Peng didn't realize the wealth on Fang Yingwu at all. In his eyes, Fang Yingwu was just a poor scholar, with a bit of background and trapped in reality, and Yulin City, where Emperor Gao was far away, was not his opponent at all. But he didn't expect that Fang Yingwu could give full play to his advantages and realize it.
It is said that Fang Yingwu borrowed money from Ambassador Sun for the purpose of running a social school. This kind of social study is not as troublesome as official Confucianism, there is no need to deliberately choose a location, and there is no need to build a school palace according to the regulations of the left temple and the right school, and there is no need for a school house or something.
As long as you can find a place and a tutor, social studies can be opened immediately, and it is very simple. Fang Yingwu rented two courtyards from the Guandi Temple in the city, and then hung a plaque of Yulin Social Studies, so it was opened.
is such a grass platform team-like social science, and on the day of its opening, it was simply broken through the threshold. Countless parents came uninvited, crying and shouting that they would also send their children to school
As the so-called mountain is not high, there is a fairy name, the water is not deep, there is a dragon is a spirit, Si is a burrow, but I am Dexin.
As for today's official Confucianism groundbreaking ceremony on Command Peng's side, of course, no one cares about it. The entrance to the school has been blocked by Governor Yang and Fang Yingwu, if you can't enter the Weixue in the end, what is the use of giving Commander Peng face to attend the groundbreaking ceremony?
Ambassador Sun, who came to help, stood at the gate of the Guandi Temple, watching all kinds of people coming and going.
Lord Yue, the deputy chief soldier, came, four came at the guerrilla level, and seven or eight at the level of the thousand generals, which made Ambassador Sun stunned as if in a dream.
He also witnessed with his own eyes that after only half an hour of opening, he recovered the capital he lent to Fang Yingwu, and Fang Yingwu, who served as a tutor himself, was restricted.
No wonder Fang Yingwu swore that after today, he would pay back twice as much silver, and according to this trend, it would not be a problem to earn dozens of times today. After opening his eyes, Ambassador Sun was very emotional, education is really a profiteering industry.
"Wrong!" Fang Yingwu corrected: "This is called knowledge is liliang!" ”
However, he said that Commander Peng saw that Fang Yingwu's side was lively again, and his side was deserted, and there was nothing he could do about it.
In the final analysis, he was only the commander of the Shitu Guard, not the governor of the feudal territory, so he went to Eunuch Zhang, the lieutenant of the town guard, for help.
This Yansui town guard eunuch Zhang Yao Zhang Gonggong is actually not a very greedy person, and he has a reason to loot the silver taels this time.
Gonggong Zhang has been stationed in Yansui Border Town for several years, and he really doesn't want to suffer this hardship. Especially because of his meritorious participation in the war, he was promoted from a young eunuch to a eunuch, and he had no intention of staying in Yansui Town for a long time after his success.
He didn't want to go back to the capital, he just wanted to leave the harsh border town and change to a comfortable place in the interior to guard the town. It just so happened that Gonggong Zhang recently caught the line of Liang Fang, the red eunuch next to the emperor and Wan Guifei, but Liang Fang was greedy for money, and he needed a sum of money to operate.
Hearing that Commander Peng came to complain again, Gonggong Zhang said helplessly: "Fame is originally a matter of scholars, you and I are both outsiders, even if we interfere hard, how can we screw them up?" The governor held the banner of the king's order and the edict, and he was not a vegetarian. ”
Commander Peng stubbornly pleaded: "No matter what, you have to try again, you can't let the benefits be all the things that can be obtained by Fang Ying." ”
Gonggong Zhang sighed, "Okay, I'll fix another book and ask Governor Yang's attitude." ”
When the letter was delivered to Governor Yang, Fang Yingwu happened to be there, and he was reporting his behavior and some ideas for future exams to Governor Yang.
Seeing Gonggong Zhang's letter, Fang Yingwu said proudly to the messenger: "You go and pass a few words to Commander Peng, if you can ask him to preside over the construction of the school palace, he has already burned high incense for several lifetimes, what else do you want?"
is just a martial artist, don't you want to train to serve the country, but also want to meddle in literary affairs everywhere? It's like a shameless clown, ridiculous! Commander Peng himself also said that the strength of this world is respected, does he have the slightest strength in literature? ”
Eunuch Zhang is also a cultural eunuch who has studied in the palace since he was a child, and he is a little inferior in the face of genuine readers, and he doesn't want to continue to entangle in this matter.
He called Commander Peng again and instructed: "Actually, what Fang Yingwu said is not wrong. Even if I complain to Bixia, how can I be reasonable? Education and fame are the exclusive domain of the literati, and we have to snatch these from the literati, for fear that we will be ridiculed by the people of the world, and we toads who want to eat swan meat. ”
Even Zuihou's hope was unreliable, and he was humiliated by Fang Yingwu for a few words, and when he returned home, Commander Peng was still angry, and smashed two blue and white jars in one go. At 21st century prices, his descendants are estimated to have lost hundreds of millions of yuan. (To be continued.) )
