Chapter 062: Bacon's Essay "On the Quest for Knowledge"
Sitting in front of Yue Heng was Huo Zhangyuan, the most powerful man in the Qijun Mansion, this seventy-year-old literati old man, wearing the gold and silver silk brocade robe of a fifth-level scholar, his face was full of majesty and made people dare not look directly, and the staff in his hand did not leave his body, although his face was old, he still spoke with a neutral atmosphere.
Although the overall status of the literati is not as good as that of other professions, this is mainly due to the fact that they have not made many achievements in the battlefield army.
In fact, the state still maintains the ancient tradition of state affairs, and many civil officials are in high positions.
Moreover, in basic education, except for the Chu State Xue Palace, which is controlled by the supreme commander of the Chu State, all other low-level palaces and courtyards are basically run by literati.
The same is true of the Qijun Academy, Huo Zhangyuan, as the head of the Qijun Academy, is also the head of the Literati Academy and the chief teacher.
Yue Heng didn't dare to have the slightest disrespect, at least sixteen runes were bred in the Huo Zhangyuan Divine Palace, this kind of person is a very powerful help on any battlefield, one person can resist a hundred demon beasts and demon generals, and when they reach the level of their fifth-level scholars, the combat power of the literati will be greatly improved, and they can even surpass the martial artists of the same level.
Huo Zhangyuan looked at Shi Jian, and looked at Yue Heng's expression a little complicated: "Yue Heng, although it was recommended by the Qi County Ministry of Culture and Culture that you came to enroll, I will not treat you specially." You're going to get ordinary accommodation, you're going to be taught the same as everyone else, and no matter how much you've accomplished in the past, the county school won't recognize you, and you'll still have to start with the basics, you know?"
The student understands that the student has made up his mind, and after entering the county academy, he will definitely ignore the affairs outside the window, and only read the books of the sages, and will definitely not take the initiative to cause trouble. ”
Huo Zhangyuan was stunned for a moment, but immediately laughed: "How can a scholar not listen to what is going on outside the window? But for you newly enrolled children, concentrating on hard study is indeed the best way to gain a foothold. ”
Yue Heng said with a smile: "Students are just expressing their attitude towards admission, and they will definitely focus on learning." Reading history makes people wise, reading poetry makes people wise, calculus makes people precise, arguments make people good at argumentation, and students know that knowledge can shape people's character, and they must not read dead books, but live and learn to apply. ”
"Well said!"
Huo Zhangyuan's face was solemn, these four sentences surprised him greatly, even Instructor Zhu and Wen Xinyue, who sent Yue Heng over, opened their mouths in unison, not knowing how to evaluate it.
Yue Heng smiled slightly, this is an excerpt from Bacon's essay "On Seeking Knowledge", which many people know.
"Cui Shilang of the Ministry of Education said that you can be eloquent and ambitious, and you really live up to your reputation, I am very much looking forward to your excellent performance in the county academy, you follow Mr. Zhu down. By the way, Mr. Zhu, you will help Wen Xinyue go through the admission procedures of the Martial Arts Academy by the way. ”
Huo Zhangyuan's attitude has always been so peaceful, Yue Heng's literary talent is indeed beyond his expectations, but that's it, there are more than ten or eight genius children recruited by Qi County every year, and many of them can't adapt to the environment here, and it won't take long for them to become obscure and become an extremely ordinary member.
Watching Yue Heng leave, Huo Zhangyuan sighed slightly in his heart: "I hope that this talented person who will not lose himself and lose every year is too much......"
Instructor Zhu handed him the rune stone slip infused with Yue Heng's identity information, and the three of them rode the beast soul individual mobile vehicle made by the craftsman academy and traveled briskly on the winding road of the palace.
Along the way, Instructor Zhu introduced the structure of the entire Qijun Mansion, which was built on a branch of the Qibi Mountains, from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain, and was mainly divided into three important areas.
The first floor is the first floor of Shizhu Square, which is the largest area, including the study halls of all the students of the three major colleges, the martial arts training ground, the commercial street, the Fuxi magic circle with various public functions, the basic course teaching points of the three major colleges, etc., which is a low-level area with many people and a bad environment.
The second floor is the place where the intermediate and advanced courses of the three major occupations are trained, and only the second-level students and above can enter the literati side, and the library pavilion, the rune research and application center are all established on this floor, and some advanced skills and research and development centers for warriors and craftsmen are also here.
The third floor is the core of the Qijun Mansion, where there are meeting rooms for senior instructors, a small high-intensity skill testing ground, a Fuxi Dharma Circle Research Center, a spiritual master passage, and so on.
"Mr. Zhu, can you also research and design this magic circle by yourself?" Yue Hengda asked with interest.
"Of course, only a small half of the existing Fuxi magic circles in the world were obtained from the ruins of the ancient Fuxi temple, and most of them were explored, improved or newly created by literati according to these magic circles. In the Zhongyuan World, the study of magic circles is a particularly important task, and a country's ability to master the basic magic circle determines its victory rate on the demon beast battlefield, as well as its overall defense power!" Instructor Zhu said proudly.
Yue Heng was awe-inspiring, it turned out that the literati's runes were more or less just the embodiment of the literati's individual combat effectiveness, large-scale defensive warfare, tug-of-war and positional warfare, or relying on the help of the magic circle, this was actually the era of fighting for resources.
"Mr. Zhu, what is the Spirit Master Passage?" Wen Xinyue asked curiously.
Instructor Zhu liked this beautiful little girl very much, and he said with a smile: "Although there are only three academies on the surface of the county academy, the entry and cultivation of low-level spirit masters is very important, and some of them also have basic education and cultivation in us, in order to ensure their safety, the existence of the spirit master channel is necessary." ”
The two of them suddenly realized, and they all sighed that the spirit master is indeed a scarce profession sought after by everyone, and it is a special treatment wherever they go.
The individual mobile vehicle stopped in the area of Xinjin Tongsheng, according to Instructor Zhu, there are a large number of standard buildings built here according to the direction of Fuxi Bagua, because he can't see the whole picture, Yue Heng can only roughly recognize the different directions.
He was about to ask clearly, but Instructor Zhu smiled strangely: "Yue Heng, welcome to the Qi County Academy, your cultivation will start from now on, and the entrance hall is the first lesson you will take." I'll take Wen Xinyue to the Martial Arts Academy first, good luck to you!"
Yue Heng could only watch Instructor Zhu drift away, and then looked at the area of the Literati Academy's school building where people came and went, and sighed, even if there was a sea of fire in front of him, he had to move forward.
"Stop, you're new here?" Two old students wearing second-level cadet literati robes stopped Yue Heng, their eyes were full of banter instead of welcome.
Yue Heng saluted and said, "Yes, the two seniors are good." ”
The two seniors glanced at each other, and the tall man said, "Okay, hand over your Chunjing, and you can go." ”
Yue Heng sneered in his heart and asked, "Senior, what is Chunjing?"
The short man immediately turned his face and said unhappily: "Pretend to be stupid, right? If you want to have a foothold in the county academy, Chunjing is an indispensable preparation, after coming in, you can honestly clean the school for the seniors, and serve tea and water for a year!"
Yue Heng laughed: "I am a child of a poor family, my family is surrounded by walls, and I can only afford to buy fifteen poems and rubbings of the Book of Songs, the two seniors are too difficult for me, where do I have the money to prepare for spring worship?"
Hearing Yue Heng say that he was not prepared at all, the two seniors were dumbfounded, and the other seniors who were passing by laughed when they heard this, and they didn't come over to help, they simply stopped and watched the three of them confront each other.
The tall senior who had lost face became angry, stepped forward and grabbed Yue Heng's chest, and said viciously: "Boy, entertain our brothers, right? You say that if you don't have money, you won't have money? As long as you are admitted to Tongsheng, how can your mansion there not give you a gift? Don't talk nonsense about new students! Brighten your eyes a little, this is Qicheng Mansion, not your poor and remote rotten place!"
Yue Heng was still not angry, he let the tall man grab his collar, and said with a smile: "No matter how bad the poor and remote place is, it is also a county government, and the senior is only a second-level student, so it seems that he is not qualified to make a big deal about a county government, right?"
The onlookers were secretly surprised when they heard this, but they didn't expect this freshman to be quite stubborn, so he didn't eat this set at all, but instead seized the loopholes in the old student's words and made a sharp rebuttal!
"You!"
The tall senior was furious, pushed Yue Heng hard, and accidentally tore his shirt, and the greedy beast Qiankun bag fell down at once, falling between Yue Heng and the tall senior.
"Wow! You kid keeps saying that he is a poor student, but why do you have a Qiankun bag on your body? Is this no money? Find a dead boy!" The tall senior pulled out the long sword at his waist, and a faint blue light flashed on his body, which was a prelude to activating the Divine Palace rune!
Yue Heng took a quick look around, no one else had any malicious actions against him, most of them looked at the Qiankun bag in surprise, he knew it in his heart, and said lightly: "I dare to swear to the Fuxi gods, I am an out-and-out poor student." As for this Qiankun bag, it is a gift from others, if you like it, senior, then take it. ”
"This ......"
Where does a tall senior dare to take this Qiankun bag?
When he was newly admitted to the hospital last year, he was bullied by the old students, and he took away some of his money, and he didn't eat for three days in pain.
Later, I learned that this is the tradition of the county school, and every year when the new children are admitted to the hospital, they will be scared and cheated by the old students, called Chunjing, more or less, so that the new children can be given a dismount, so that those arrogant freshmen obediently bow their heads and walk around.
But the Qiankun bag is not a rare and difficult to buy poem, nor is it a small amount like ten taels of silver He Yi, the price of a minimum Qiankun bag is more than a thousand taels of gold, and most of them are priceless, and most of them are directly traded for monster materials or beast souls, because no one will dislike this kind of space storage bag too much.
"Hua Wenfeng, the new students are filial to you, go and get it!" a familiar old student shouted with a grin.
"That's it, hey, hey, this is a Qiankun bag! What a good Chunjing, what a good opportunity, Brother Hua, don't you want it?" the other person followed.
The short senior pulled the placket of the tall senior Hua Wenfeng's shirt and shook his head quietly.
This Qiankun bag can't be taken, Yue Heng dares to swear to the Fuxi gods, then he shouldn't tell lies.
He said that the Qiankun bag was given to him by others, so others must have a reason to give him such a valuable gift, it doesn't matter if he robbed him of the Qiankun bag today, maybe the mysterious person who gave him the Qiankun bag tomorrow will come to the door!
This kind of mysterious person who casually gives away Qiankun bags, but he is a good-looking guy?
