Chapter 39 Donations for Education

Dozens of scholars were incense, but none of them were of faith.

For Liu Qing, it is to make data and accumulate the total number of incense stickers.

Now the total number of incense stickers has accumulated in the thousands.

According to convention, it is speculated that when the number of incense stickers breaks through to 10,000, the system should reward him with a new magic skill.

Similarly, it is customary to speculate that the new Divine Skills rewarded by the system will also be more powerful than the previous Divine Skills.

He's looking forward to this.

It would be even better if we could attract more idlers to come and do data through the mouths of these dozens of readers.

He's ready to show.

But still explain to those who read:

"I'm just a messenger under the throne of the Lord of the Land, a mouthpiece of the Lord of the Land in this world, not a god, and I can't show miracles."

"And what will you do?" Someone asked.

"I can talk." The black starling said calmly.

There is something strange about this answer.

INTERVIEWER When did speaking become a skill?

But when you think about it, it's not surprising.

Because this one speaks of a bird, not a man.

Birds can speak human words, and that's skill.

He also has the ability to organize language and easily talk to people, which is a stunt.

At least none of them had ever seen such a bird.

"Can you sing?" Someone asked curiously.

"No, it won't." Black Starling replied very dryly.

Originally, Liu Qing couldn't sing, but it came to this black starling, and the black starling's voice was weird, and the singing was even more ugly.

He used to sing a song while flying, and he sang disgustingly.

He didn't want to be ugly in front of these people - it was a real ugly thing.

"And do you know how to write poetry?" Someone asked again.

After all, he is a reader, and he is more interested in poetry and music.

The black starling looked up at the sky, stretched out his paws and walked a few steps inside the cage, and then said indifferently: "I understand a little." ”

Write poems or something, you don't have that ability, but it's okay to plagiarize a few poems.

Everyone is interested: "Then you write a song." ”

The black starling shook his head: "Don't write." My poems are all famous poems that can be passed down through the ages, and it is too disrespectful to write them so easily. ”

"And how are you going to write?" Everyone is more interested.

"A new school is being built outside the temple, which is a good deed of teaching and educating people. If you scholars have the heart to donate 100 taels of silver to the school, so that those students can have a better reading environment, then I will recite a poem. Black Starling said.

One hundred taels of silver for a poem, the price is a bit expensive.

However, starlings write poems, which is something that has never been done for eternity.

If you can witness this, it will be an adventure.

The readers looked at each other and couldn't make up their minds for a moment.

Some people come up with this money, and some people think it's a little too expensive.

Liu Laosi was a little embarrassed next to him, and felt that the bird that the ancestor was looking for was a little too greedy, and it cost money to read a poem, and it cost a hundred taels of silver.

He snorted and said, "If you want to listen to the gods' envoys recite poems, then my Liu family will pay for it." ”

Liu Qing was very unhappy in her heart, thinking: "The Liu family's money is my money, where can I allow you to call the shots?" ”

said coldly: "No, the Liu family built a school, that's what the Liu family should do." They donate money, that's their merit and can't be confused. I don't need money for a bird, but I have to read my poems to those who have merit. ”

When those who read the book heard the word "merit", their hearts moved.

Donating money to help students is indeed a meritorious thing.

Take a hundred taels of silver to listen to a poem, no matter what kind of famous poem it is, they don't think it's worth it.

It's kind of interesting to listen to a bird reciting such a poem, or if the bird composed it himself.

But they will also feel a little more expensive.

It's not that I can't afford that money, dozens of people are here, and all of them have money in the family, and it's enough for one person to come out with one or two taels of silver.

They are afraid that if they do such a thing, they will be laughed at by others.

However, if you take a hundred taels of silver to help you study, and a spiritual bird recites a poem, this is a good story.

When it is preached in this way, all of them have face.

Then a leading person came out and spoke: "Donating money for education is also a good deed, one hundred taels of silver, I am willing to donate ten taels." ”

So saying, he took out two minas.

With him taking the lead, and one person is out of tenth, and the rest of the people are very enthusiastic.

There are those who give ten taels of silver like him, and there are also those who don't have much money in their hands and can only donate half a tael.

No matter how much it was, everyone gave money.

In the end, it was weighed, and it was more than 120 taels.

Everyone is a decent person, and when the money is taken out, there is no reason to take it back.

This more than 120 taels of silver became the money donated by these scholars to Deshan School.

Liu Laosi was very surprised, he didn't expect the school to receive donations.

At the moment, it was said that after the school was completed, a merit monument would be erected at the gate and the names of these people would be engraved.

Hearing his statement, everyone felt that the money was worth it.

The money has been donated, so it's time for this black starling to chant a poem.

The black starling was also not stage frightened: "What kind of poem do you want me to compose, let's make a question." ”

In this way, people who have received compulsory education still have some famous stories in their memory.

He felt that if he took out a random article, he could shock these sour talents.

Someone asked: "This time you are writing a poem for us to donate money to school, so let's make a poem to persuade students." ”

Liu Qing was suddenly depressed.

This topic is too positive, and he remembers only two songs about persuasion.

It has been passed down through the ages, but how poetic it is, in terms of his shallow level of poetry appreciation, he feels that it has not reached that point.

- This doesn't shock anyone at all!

But the proud gesture has been made, and people have come up with the question, and others have also come up with the question, so you can't help but accept it.

can only say: "Since it is persuasion, this is a good topic, I don't think one song is enough, it is better to make two." ”

Everyone was surprised and delighted, this bird just knows how to make poems, and actually buys one and gets one free.

So they applauded.

In their expectant gaze, the black starling paced a few steps in the birdcage and read out two poems:

"The dynasty is Tian Shelang, and the twilight is in the Tianzi Hall. There will be no seeds, and men should be self-reliant. ”

"The lights of the third watch and the fifth watch of the chicken are when the boy is studying. The black hair does not know how to study early, and the white head regrets studying late. ”

It's all big vernacular, there is nothing literary to speak of, but it is also catchy, and the plain words contain great truths.

and closely related to the topic of persuasion.

It is a bit of an exaggeration to say that it is a masterpiece of the ages.

But at least above the level.

The dozens of people who read here asked them to write poems of this level with this topic, and most of them felt that they did not have that ability.

And now in front of them, it is only a starling who is making these two poems above the standard.

That's shocking enough.

I was impressed by these readers at once:

"Good poetry!"

"It's so well written!"

"It is worthy of being a divine envoy, only the existence favored by the gods can have such talent, right?"

Listening to their praise, Liu Qing was very depressed:

"It's not my strength, but if you come up with a reliable topic, I can copy it a hundred times better than this!"
