Chapter 437 Zhu Yunwen's involvement
Throughout January, in addition to the burial of Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Yunwen's accession to the throne, the most eye-catching thing is naturally the opening of Qingtian Academy, which has almost reached the point where everyone in Nanjing knows about it.
They were a little disappointed, because the scale of the academy was not as large as they expected, and there were only about fifty students in the entire academy, how could it cause such a big sensation? Not to mention the rest of the academies in Nanjing City, even the academies in some big cities are much more magnificent than Qingtian Academy.
But their doubts were solved in the next few days, because they saw that characters who they couldn't see at all on weekdays actually came to the academy in unison, not for anything else, just to ask their children and grandchildren for a chance to study in the academy.
Because when the academy opened in the first year, it was only a sparse gathering of about forty people, so there was no preparation for such a scene, and the people who came were all big shots, and the officials of the Ministry of Etiquette, although the officials were not big, but they were also above the six rank officials of their dean, which made many students at a loss.
As a result, he had to inform a few old men, and Li Yuanshan didn't say a word, came to those officials, and took their sons to his library.
After about half an hour, he came out with a dozen dolls.
As a result, Li Yuanshan came to the conclusion that none of these people met the admissions standards of the academy, and all of them were not admitted.
This can detonate the powder keg, where have those officials received this kind of anger, you are an old jinshi who has been out of breath, and you dare not accept our son? To make a gesture is to make a move.
Unexpectedly, at this time, Zhu Ying came over and saw that those officials who had waged their tails and begged for mercy in front of him in the past dared to shout at Li Yuanshan, but they just stood in front and said coldly Get out, and those officials immediately ran away without a trace.
In the past, the title of Zhu Ying's little demon king in the mixed world was not given for nothing. They didn't suffer much trouble when they went to the palace, but they didn't expect to meet them in the academy, and it seemed that they were very protective of Li Yuanshan, if they didn't leave, it might be a tragedy.
This is just a small episode, the three princes walk around the square of the academy from time to time, and when they encounter those who are arrogant and unreasonable, and want to forcibly send their children to the academy, they only need to go forward, and the matter will be resolved satisfactorily.
And they're having a belly full of anger right now. Seeing that his mother followed his father to the funeral and was unable to do anything, he had to vent this resentment on those unlucky officials, and anyone who talked back to them did not end well.
The worst thing is a fourth-grade official, he didn't expect that Zhu Song, who is gentle and elegant on weekdays, sent him directly to prison after he said a word, the black gauze hat can't be saved, and what he is thinking about now is how to keep his head.
With those lessons from the past. No one dares to be presumptuous in the academy anymore, all of them accept Li Yuanshan's assessment in a proper manner, and those who pass the test will enter Qingtian Academy as a student. Those who don't pass the test will go home in a proper manner.
So at the end of the day, Li Yuanshan had fully assessed hundreds of students, but only twenty of them passed the assessment and became students of the academy.
No one knows Li Yuanshan's standards. Some people who are poor and can't afford to pay a thousand taels of silver tuition have passed the assessment, and there are also rich second-generation people with a lot of money who have passed the assessment. There was even a beggar who passed the assessment.
But those who didn't pass the guò assessment are basically the children of high-ranking officials and nobles, and they are basically able to afford to pay, and it is a fool to put money and not make money, this is the evaluation of Li Yuanshan by those who were not admitted.
Li Yuanshan doesn't care about those evaluations, Hu Ye handed over the assessment task to him, he will use his own standards to admit them, those who can't get by with bad conduct, recruiting the academy will only be a disaster, why did the second ancestor who didn't even have the most basic etiquette when he entered the door?
And those students who have passed the examination have been taken by the students of the academy to go through the admission procedures, so they can only start classes when the academy opens.
This year's target for the college is 50 people, so after the first day of enrollment, there will be a succession of people to sign up until the college is full of 50 people.
Of course, there are some people who even Hu Ye can't refuse, for example, Zhu Yunwen sent Yun Zichen's younger brother Yun Zitai over, saying that he wanted Hu Ye to train and train well, and it was best to be as successful as Wang Lin.
For another example, because Ruan An was going to guard the tomb at the imperial tomb for a year, Zhu Yunwen sent a teacher to the academy, I heard that it was Zhu Yunwen's enlightenment teacher, and he was also an old pedant, but he looked very old-fashioned, and when he saw Li Yuanshan for the first time, he didn't look at each other with Li Yuanshan, and gave full play to the sentence that literati were light.
Hu Ye knew that this was Zhu Yunwen who began to meddle in the affairs of the academy, and he also saw the value of the academy, although there was no student from the academy who had joined the court as an official or contributed to the Ming Dynasty.
But the glider made by Wang Lin has become a beautiful scenery on the bull's head, and Zhu Yunwen is not a fool, knowing that the glider is likely to become a killer feature like a hot air balloon, with these things, even if someone rebels, he has a few more chances of winning.
In addition, several students of the construction department wrote letters to some officials of the Ministry of Industry, saying that the sewer layout of Nanjing City was unreasonable, and gave a more reasonable arrangement. As a result, the officials of the Ministry of Industry saw that it was really like that, so from the day Zhu Yunwen ascended the throne, Nanjing City also began a vigorous sewer renovation project.
Although there are no more outstanding expressions, Zhu Yunwen knows that this academy has only been established for a year, and the students here have already changed so much, and in time, they will definitely become the pillars of the Ming Dynasty.
Therefore, he must install his own people in the academy, his teacher and Yun Zichen's younger brother are just the first step, and there will definitely be one in the future.
Hu Ye also knows this clearly, this Zhu Yunwen and Zhu Yuanzhang have not come out of their shells, they think that the useful things in the world are their Zhu family, this Zhu Yunwen did not directly deprive himself of the dean, it is already a blessing in misfortune, and Hu Ye knows that he will not be the dean for a long time, and sooner or later he will be replaced by Zhu Yunwen's people, and even Li Yuanshan, the old men, will be replaced.
At that time, the entire Qingtian Academy will become the second Guozijian and become a private academy serving the Zhu family.
But this is not what Hu Ye wants to see, his purpose in establishing this academy is not to serve the Zhu family, but to spread new knowledge to the world, Zhu Yunwen's move has begun to eat away at Hu Ye's purpose, and he will definitely not allow such a thing to happen.
Then the simplest thing is not to let the people sent by Zhu Yunwen interfere in the affairs of the academy.
"Boy, what do you mean by that? The emperor sent me to the academy just so that I could teach the students of the academy, why didn't you even arrange a class for me? ”
Zhu Yunwen's teacher is called Zhao Yun, who is already in his seventies, with a white beard, and looks older than Li Yuanshan, but he eats and drinks well on weekdays, and his body is much tougher than Li Yuanshan.
"Master Zhao, it's not that I don't arrange courses for you, it's just that there are no courses that are suitable for you now." Hu Ye shrugged his shoulders, now the new semester of the academy has just begun, and the academy only has those five courses.
And this Zhao Yun can only teach Chinese studies, but after more than a year of cultural edification in the academy, this Chinese culture class is not accepted by the students at all, after all, people who come to the academy have no luxury to hope that the imperial examination will change their lives, so Li Yuanshan's Chinese studies class mixed with all kinds of strange things is more acceptable.
So after Hu Ye gave a lecture to Zhao Yun, he never arranged a class for Zhao Yun again.
"Boy, the emperor asked me to come to the academy, but I didn't give you a study of ink, if you don't arrange a course for me, I will go to the emperor to theorize."
After Zhao Yun snorted coldly, he stopped talking to Hu Ye, but returned to his room, and it seemed that he was going to make a small report to Zhu Yunwen.
As for Yun Zitai, as Yun Zichen's younger brother, he has Yun Zichen's arrogance, and he is also incompatible with the academy, thinking that studying with these students who are not born is an insult to him.
If it weren't for the heavy responsibility of Zhu Yunwen's eyes, he wouldn't have stayed in Qingtian Academy.
Hu Ye didn't bother to care about this thorn, wasn't Wang Lin a year ago also a thorn, and now he is so busy with his flying career that he can't even take care of it?
……
The academy began to get on the right track, and the new students also adapted to the environment of the academy, and they would no longer be scared half to death by the rats that could read, nor would they be frightened by the screams coming from Lou Yingyao's house in the middle of the night, nor would they be shocked by the gliders flying down from Niutou Mountain.
Therefore, Hu Ye thought that he could hand over the academy to a few old men to take care of, and he was still a general judge, or a Hanlin attendant, and there was other work to be done.
So at the beginning of February, Hu Ye had less time to go to the academy, and the general judgment yamen had accumulated a lot of cases to deal with, and the Hanlin Academy had accumulated a lot of official documents, which were deliberately left by Fang Xiaoru's house, otherwise with the energy of that house, he could completely help Hu Ye deal with it.
There were many cases in the Yamen, and Hu Ye had to ask Yin Changlong to help, and he was busy for several days before he finished the matter from Zhu Yuanzhang's grounding order to the present, but fortunately, Lu Chun was also very kind, and sent an extra master to help Hu Ye deal with it, otherwise he would have to be busy with Hu Ye.
The affairs of the general judgment yamen are easy to handle, at least Hu Ye has helpers, but the affairs of the Hanlin Academy are not easy to handle, because they deal with some things that Hu Ye can't read no matter how he reads, which also makes Hu Ye make annotations, saying that it is something that may become a teaching material in the future.
That thing Hu Ye just doesn't know anything, he can't read it, and he still makes annotations?
In addition to this, Hu Ye also has a job, that is, to follow Fang Xiaoru to find information for Zhu Yunwen to edit and revise the Taizu record. This is a more complicated project, Hu Ye thinks that he is about to die of exhaustion, and Fang Xiaoru not only does not help, but often reprimands Hu Ye. (To be continued......)
