Chapter 112: The Pawn Wife (8)
It is very difficult to paint on embroidered cloth, because of the brushstrokes and lines, embroidery is always not as elegant as painting, and it is difficult to express the artistic conception of the person or environment.
Songhe students did not have this concern at all, and each embroidery thread was split into twelve strands, as thin as a cow's hair.
Therefore, the expression is very detailed, whether it is the hair of the characters, the texture of the clothes, the feathers of the birds on the trees, whether it is the light or the environment, it is just right to lifelike.
The nearby table, pen, ink, paper, inkstone, the clumsy clumsy clay jar in the corner, the leisurely frolicking fish and bowl lotus in the jar, the white wall and tiles, the trees and flowers, all have a realistic texture.
It looks more realistic than painting.
These scenes become the background for the students' paintings, and the more beautiful the scenery, the more vivid the characters are.
"It's a shadow of Western painting." The dean stroked the embroidery and said. If this is the homework of the students of Songhe Academy, he will definitely give a first.
Liu Yun smiled and didn't say anything.
"Huh?" The dean suddenly saw a withered yellow grass outside the Songhe Academy, which was at the edge of the vibrant Songhe Academy, with a little withered yellow color, which was very inconspicuous.
But the dean's eyes were fixed on the withered grass for a long time, saying that it was withered grass, but in fact there was only one grass root, which looked like it had been eaten by cows and horses.
The dean suddenly let out a long sigh, he didn't know about the drought in Qingshan Town.
The land is cracked, the crops are dead, the cattle, horses, and livestock are dying of thirst, and the people are starving and have no food, so that even the withered grass is used as food.
And Songhe Academy, as a representative of the Northern Academy. The environment is quiet and the style of learning is strong. In the meantime, rockery and flowing water, bonsai strange stones, lone pine and cold plum, everywhere reveal the elegant taste of the scholars.
However, it is not easy to maintain these landscapes in an arid environment, and dozens of truckloads carry water from hundreds of miles away every day to supply the needs of the students, teachers and plants of the college. At Songhe Academy, I didn't feel the impact of the drought at all.
Compared with the scene of withered and yellow grass and fields, Songhe Academy is a rare oasis.
That withered grass seemed to be only a lonely plant, but in fact it was boundless, far more than Songhe Academy.
What was she trying to do with this withered grass embroidered on the edges?
Do you want to advise like the advisors of the ancients? Do you think Songhe Academy shouldn't be so extravagant, absorbing the people's fat and people's ointment?
The dean summoned Liu Yun and asked her about her intention to embroider withered grass on the edge.
Liu Yun said: "When I was in Qingshan Village, I was dying of starvation because of famine, and I was able to see the sun tomorrow with the help of my brother. ”
The dean stroked his beard and smiled, originally thinking that Liu's self-made cleverness and wanted to criticize the academy, but she always spoke so unexpectedly, like this, it would be very interesting to see the sun tomorrow.
"I think about what my brother taught me when I was a child, that if you are poor, you will be good to yourself, and if you are good, you will help the world. I also heard that Songhe Academy, as the leader of the Northern Academy, cultivates the pillars of the future. Now let them rescue the disaster, it should be regarded as an advance drill for the officials, otherwise it will really come to a critical juncture, and the knowledge learned in the books may not be able to cope with the emergency.
Again, I saw that one of the mottos of the academy is the unity of knowledge and action, and if the students are involved in disaster relief and feel the suffering of the people, the articles in the palace examination will also have a sense of heaviness. Whether there is a real solution for disaster relief or just talk on paper, you can see at a glance.
Finally, I think that the more this time comes, the more Songhe Academy should play its role as an example. Although the literati are elegant, it is good to have a good taste, but in order to help the people affected by the disaster, Songhe Academy has no intention of taking care of anything else, so that the reputation of the college is more beneficial to the students of the college and the reputation of the college. ”
"That's a good point." The dean smiled brightly: "Then if I don't do it, how will you stay?" ”
Liu Yun also smiled: "I can't do anything to you, and I don't have a position to ask you to do anything." I just watched the academy develop and the people survive, and the two would achieve each other like a semicircle, so I acted as an intermediary.
If it is done, my painting of Songhe students will be worth a hundred times, and there is one more allusion in your celebrity rumors, and the students of the academy will not only cultivate compassion, but also have more knowledge. And the people of Qingshan Town will live. If it doesn't work, at most I'll scrap an embroidery drawing, and it won't affect me.
Although I don't want to put the lives of the people of Qingshan Town on you, you will not feel good listening to my words and watching the people you have the ability to save die in vain. If you're going to turn your ears away from what's going on outside the window and concentrate on reading only the books of the sages, then I'm not going to say it. ”
"It's really sharp-tongued, but what are you going to let the students of Songhe Academy do?"
"I'm short-sighted, and I can only come up with a few rough suggestions, and I don't know if it's right or not."
"You say."
"The biggest problem for the people now is that they don't have food, but the academy can't buy food directly and give it to them. Getting something for nothing will encourage laziness, and people must learn to help themselves. Therefore, if there are any major projects that need to be carried out in Songhe Academy, such as the expansion of the academy, such as digging a canal to divert the river, or building a house, you can start now.
But I think we should put the people's interests first. The students of Songhe Academy can use what they have learned to measure the trend difference of the river, so that the river can be cut and straightened or the canal can be dug for irrigation, which is a good thing for the future. At this time, as long as you give three meals a day, you can attract many people.
In times of famine, human lives are almost gone, and everything is made for a bite to eat. Therefore, the students of Songhe Academy should send a part of the patrol in the village to severely punish illegal phenomena. Otherwise, the folk customs of Qingshan Town will definitely regress due to the famine.
Also, many of the students of Songhe Academy are from big families in the town and other places. The matter of communicating with the rich businessmen in the county to help the victims is handed over to them, and it doesn't take too much, and a bowl of porridge a day is a life-saving grace.
The location of Songhe Academy has attracted the attention of the world, and the dean doesn't want others to see Qingshan Town in a certain year, a great drought, cannibalism and other words when they look at the county chronicles here.
In addition, there was a drought and famine here, and the Songhe Academy could use its influence to write to the imperial court to reduce taxes.
If the climate returns to normal next year, the people's food will also be a problem. Songhe Academy can act as a guarantor and borrow grain seeds from the government for the people. Songhe Academy has a prominent reputation, which can not only ensure that the people cannot afford to be exploited by the government, but also because of its special status, the people dare not default. ”
"That's all I can think of, and if we work together, we will be more thoughtful."
The dean pointed at her and smiled, "I didn't think too much about it, and I don't know how long you've been thinking about so many things." You are a woman, and you have so much knowledge just through your brother's enlightenment when she was a child, but it's really not simple. ”
Liu Yun said: "I am an ordinary person, and I also say it from the position of the people. You are a great Confucian, and when you think about the people, you must not be as thoughtful as the people themselves say what they want. As for the professional issue, if the government is robbed of its functions by you, will you think that you are overstepping your authority, I can't intervene. ”
"Since you have thought so much about our academy, this dean will fulfill your reputation as you wish."
Liu Yun immediately saluted: "Then thank you Dean." ”
"You, you." The dean pointed at her and smiled, appreciating her interest in achieving each other's fame.
In the end, I know that to give face to the dean, I am not the kind of pedantic person who Geng Jie does not know how to be flexible.
