Chapter 291 Teacher Mengxue

A blackboard and two white chalks made of lime are the new jobs of Du Jingsu in Changping County.

He was also a little prodigy in his hometown since he was a child, and at the age of twelve, he was the first in the college exam, and he became the only hope of the family. But since then, with the addition of Enke in the past 20 years, there have been a total of eight township examinations, and the results have all been lost to Sun Shan.

In the past 20 years, he sent away his parents who were full of regret, married his wife, had a pair of children of his own, and at the same time, he constantly sold the 130 acres of land he had divided from the family property for the imperial examination. Until there was a thatched hut left, and the wife had to make a living by pulping and washing clothes for others. At the age of thirty-two, his children had already reached the age of twelve, and he realized that his life had been ruined by the imperial examination.

It wasn't until the year before last that he saw the list of recruiting Mr. Meng Xue in front of the county government of Changping County, and what moved him the most was the salary of one or two silver a month in the back. At that time, there were not many people who signed up for recruitment. Most readers are reluctant to go, but those who are willing to go are bitter who don't know how to read.

After six months of bizarre training, Du Jingsu, a talented man, returned to Changping with a lot of strange books and tools.

This year, the first batch of children he brought with him are about to complete the third year of study according to the textbooks of Mengxue, and are preparing to take the entrance examination for the county school at the end of the year. When these children came in, the youngest was six years old, and the oldest was nine years old, and now they are basically the same age as they were in the college exam.

Therefore, he does not teach new content to the children now, but prepares the content of the exam according to the syllabus of the prefectural school.

More than 100 children, the same teaching as a compound class. The children were divided into groups of 10 according to the 1234 taught by the arithmetic school. Each group has its own team leader.

"The 12345 group prepared a notice from the lieutenant governor to the people. It is necessary to clarify the procedures for the collection of summer grain. Where does the government collect it, what documents do it have to carry, and what do it keep after it is collected? Who is eligible for exemption. Write in the format of the official document given to you by the teacher. ”

Du Jingsu tapped on the blackboard, on which were his beautiful chalk words. At first, he didn't get used to it, but within a few days he was able to develop a good chalk hand, and the ability to wake up a sleeping student with a chalk head.

This is very different from the private school I went to.

What made him excited was that he was specially invited to the Royal Academy of Administration to listen to a lecture by His Majesty the Emperor. His Majesty the Emperor seemed to be in the same posture as he is now, standing in front of the blackboard with a chalk. It reads teaching and educating people, and the merit is in the eight words.

Unlike others, when others were still immersed in the glory of being able to meet His Majesty the Emperor face-to-face, he had already begun to record every sentence of the Emperor General with the pencil placed in front of him.

"The biggest change in Mengxue is to cultivate talents for all kinds of industries, rather than taking the road of imperial examinations."

"Therefore, the enrollment of county schools is based not only on overall results, but also on the scores of a certain subject."

"In the future, Daming will continue to increase the number of Mengxue, until we want to ensure that every Daming doll will complete three years of Mengxue."

So he knew that his opportunity had come. If Mengxue is to develop, it will definitely need a lot of talents, and Mengxue is the most important thing for His Majesty the Emperor, as long as he can teach Mengxue well, maybe there may be a different prospect.

He has been failing for years.

When he had such a dream, let alone a friend, he didn't dare to reveal a word even his wife. Fortunately, Meng Xue also provided a courtyard for teachers like himself at the back of the school, and the eldest son could also do a little work of sprinkling and ringing bells to subsidize the family, and his whole person almost pounced on these children like his own imperial examination, and his wife did not complain at all.

"Six, seven, eight, ninety, and ten, your team is standing up and asking everyone to copy these words, don't make a mistake."

There are reference textbooks in the county school, but Du Jingsu is different, he re-summarized the key points in it. Twenty years of imperial examinations have made him very clear that the things in the examination are those things, and it is nothing more than that the person who makes the test questions needs to change a little trick.

Ten groups were arranged, and the rest was the key class of thirty people he drew from here. These are all dolls that he thinks have a future.

"Fang Zhengming, did your father agree? If your father doesn't agree, I'll go to him again. ”

Fang Zhengming is the youngest in the class, only ten years old this year, but he is the most optimistic one for Du Jingsu. I have no choice but to make a living from a steamed bun shop in Changping County, and the business is very good.

According to Fang Zhengming's mother, what does Shangmeng do in school? Where does the Fang family have the fate of the champion. Wasted a few years in vain, if it weren't for the county's compulsion, otherwise their family's steamed bun shop tax would be doubled, Fang Zheng would go back to serve steamed buns tomorrow morning.

"My mother can't do it, I have to work as soon as I get home. My father said it badly, and my mother agreed. ”

"That's fine, it's just this month's work, you can survive it."

"Sir, can I pass the test? I don't want to smell the lard stuffing anymore. You don't know, every night the steamed buns are prepared for the dough on our kang, and I don't even have a place to sleep. ”

"Remember, I don't dare to say this in the future. No matter what, your mother used buns to pull you up, if you don't have buns, you can still go to school? Be sure to remember the good of the bun, and also remember the good of your mother. ”

"Then you gather the rest of the people. Let's take a look at the new topics of arithmetic. ”

"Sir, sir, I see that kid next door to my house is now reciting contemporary texts and poems. Why do we focus on arithmetic? ”

Du Jingsu smiled, he felt that this time he would definitely be able to take the lead in the entire Changping County and even Beizhili.

"You too, so will I, can this thing be superior?"

"Come, you see, this is a topic that the gentleman made up himself based on the textbook. Zhang San rode a horse from the capital to Luoyang, Li Si rode a carriage from Luoyang into Beijing, rode a horse for 300 miles a day, and rode a car for 200 miles a day, after the two met, Zhang San continued to move forward............"

"We need to know why we are taking this question."

"I've included all of these kinds of questions in the range of questions. According to the primary arithmetic compiled by Master Xu Guangqi, we must be clear about the relationship between speed and distance............"

The sound in the classroom spread outside, and also reached the ears of Wang Chengen and Kong Shangqian, who were standing by the window.

Others can get used to Kong Shangqian, but Wang Chengen won't get used to him. Since his master said that he would let him go through Mengxue in Changping and Beizhili in the past few days. After Wang Chengen received the order, he went directly to the Four Seas Restaurant and found Kong Shangqian, who was drunk before breakfast was finished.

I couldn't help but say, I called the guys from all over the world and dragged Kong Shangqian to the stone floor in the middle of the house, and a bucket of water was directly poured on the heads of Kong Shangqian and his nephew Kong Deyi.

"Who are you!" Kong Shangqian was still irritable at first, wiped his face, and shouted at the guys from all over the world.

Wang Chengen, who was dressed in a royal python suit, walked in front of Kong Shangqian.

"Our Wang Chengen."

Of course, Kong Shangqian knew who Wang Chengen was, and he was sweating profusely, and he woke up a lot, and quickly got up from the ground.

"Our family is on an errand in front of His Majesty, and this time His Majesty the Emperor has a will for you."

Hearing this, Kong Shangqian didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly said to his nephew Kong Deyi:

"Please help me prepare the eucalyptus, I will take the order." Kong Deyi snorted, his head should not be clear.

Wang Chengen smiled and didn't embarrass him.

"It's not a holy decree, it's just His Majesty's dictation, you just kneel and listen to it."

After listening to the holy edict that let him tour Beizhili Mengxue and see His Majesty seven days later, Kong Shangqian was even more puzzled. As the Confucian family pays attention to official learning, it is also the proper meaning of the question, but he summoned himself to Beijing on the cusp of this storm, just for this?

There are countless doubts in his heart, and there is also a trace of expectation, and more of a fear of the unknown.

"Thank you, father-in-law."

According to the rules, he pulled out his sleeves, and was going to give Wang Chengen a little thanks, but he didn't expect that his sleeves were empty.

Wang Chengen also saw his predicament, but he didn't care. Instead, he said to the shopkeeper who had already rushed over:

"Your Majesty said that Mr. Kong is staying at the Four Seas Inn, and Mr. Kong's expenses in the past few days are all counted in the palace, but remember it."

Only then did he turn to Kong Shangqian and say:

"In the past few days, Your Majesty is afraid that you are not familiar with Beizhilimeng, so he specially arranged for me to accompany you, and tomorrow, I will wait for Mr. at the door of the inn."

After that, he didn't wait for Kong Shangqian to speak again, and he walked away.
