Chapter 284: Rotten Wood Can't Be Carved

Your Majesty?

When everyone heard these two words, they instantly became excited, and they hurriedly looked at the end of the crowd.

A woman in a dragon robe walked slowly, looking forward to it, with a cold and noble temperament between her eyebrows.

"Your Majesty!"

"I didn't expect that I, a small businessman, would have the opportunity to see the holy face in this life!"

"Da Lang, Erlang, from now on, you will be born of the Son of Heaven!"

Everyone looked at the empress who was walking slowly, and various thoughts flashed through their minds.

That's when it happened.

The gentry standing at the front suddenly realized something, and fell to their knees in a hurry.

"Your Majesty!"

These gentry came from other places, and they didn't have the opportunity to see Her Majesty the Empress on weekdays.

Therefore, the moment I saw Her Majesty the Empress, my mind was blank, and I forgot to salute.

And the businessmen behind them didn't expect this.

However, someone took the lead, and the rest of the people quickly reacted and saluted in unison, moving in unison.

"The grass people wait to see Your Majesty!"

Wu Mingkong looked at the crowd kneeling down in front of him, his expression was cold, and he said lightly: "No courtesy." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Everyone got up one after another, stood on both sides, lowered their heads, and did not dare to look at Her Majesty the Empress again.

Wu Mingkong looked at these businessmen, was silent for a few breaths, looked at the cramped students, and slowly spoke:

"Starting today, Mingxiu Academy is officially established, and I will be the president of the academy, and the prime minister will be the vice president of the academy!

Your parents and elders sent you to the academy in the hope that your son will become a dragon and your daughter will become a phoenix, and I hope that you can study hard and live up to your parents' elders, I and Fang Xiang, and the expectations of the imperial court for you! ”

The voice fell.

The elders of the students were all excited.

Obviously, Her Majesty's words brought them great encouragement.

Although they haven't enrolled in school yet, they seem to have seen the scene of their son's high school champion.

The students, who were at a loss for the future, were equally thrilled to hear these words.

It seems that these wastes who only know how to eat and wait for death are also the pillars of the court and the people.

Of course, there is another film that still looks disapproving.

For them, eating and waiting for death is the main theme of life.

Since you were born in a rich family, you should enjoy it, what to serve the court, what to benefit the people, what does it have to do with them?

The lazy appearance of these people, Wu Mingkong naturally saw it in his eyes.

"A bunch of useless waste, lying on the ancestral merit book and eating moths waiting for death!"

"Such people, even if they let the saints teach them, they may not be able to make them change their ways!"

When Wu Mingkong saw them, he was inexplicably unhappy, but thinking of the silver they contributed to the Ming Xiu Academy, he still didn't make a fuss, just looked at Lin Wan'er behind him and asked, "When will Fang Xiu arrive?" ”

As agreed.

She and Fang Xiu each inscribed two words.

She inscribed "Ming Xiu", Fang Xiu inscribed "Academy", and after making a plaque, today's ceremony can be regarded as the end.

"Xiangye said that Yang Yuhuan's illness has not yet recovered, Xiangye has to take care of her, and he will come over as soon as he has time." Lin Wan'er told the truth.

Wu Mingkong was silent for a few breaths, and did not ask any more questions.

She knows about Yang Yuhuan.

After the imperial doctor saw it, he said that there was no cure and no cure.

Fang Xiu didn't know where to make some pills and fed them to the little maid before he rescued her.

The opening of Mingxiu Academy is indeed important, but it is really nothing compared to human life.

"In that case, I'll wait for him a little longer and let him not be in a hurry."

Wu Mingkong said lightly.

"Your Majesty, even if you wait until it's dark and dawn, Fang Xiang won't be in a hurry."

Lin Wan'er scolded in her heart, and responded: "The slave and maid understand, and the slave and maid will send someone to pass the word." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly heard the sound of a carriage not far away.

Everyone subconsciously turned their heads to look, and saw a boy in brocade clothes appearing at the end of the crowd.

"Who is that? looks so handsome. ”

The noble ladies present invariably came up with this idea.

Immediately afterwards, he saw the guards saluting: "Meet Fang Xiang!" ”

"Meet...... Square phase? ”

When everyone saw this scene, they were all stunned.

The handsome son-in-law in front of him is actually the prime minister, one of the two actual helmsmen of the imperial court?

So young? So handsome?

This...... How is this possible!

Everyone's eyes widened, looking at the richly dressed Fang Xiu in disbelief.

They never thought that Fang Xiu, the wise and powerful, decisive and strategist, would be such an image.

Even when they saw the guards saluting, they slowed down for a while before accepting this fact and saluting: "The ministers (grass people, etc.) pay their respects to Fang Xiang!" ”

Fang Xiu walked to the empress's side, looked at the people in front of him, frowned slightly, and lowered his voice: "Why are you so old?" ”

"Fang Xiang, they are the parents and elders of the students, and the students are standing behind."

Lin Wan'er knew that Fang Xiu had misunderstood, so she hurriedly opened her mouth to explain.

"I see."

Fang Xiu nodded, crossed the front of the crowd, and looked behind.

Seeing those loose and frivolous teenagers, his eyebrows furrowed...... It's similar to the student he imagined.

"Starting today, the Ming Xiu Academy will be officially opened, and His Majesty and Benxiang will come to the academy to give lectures in their spare time, in addition, those of you who are gifted will also have the opportunity to be selected by Benxiang and taught by Benxiang himself."

Fang Xiu looked at everyone and said with a flat expression.

As soon as these words came out, it instantly set off a wave of discussion in the crowd.

Being able to be taught by the Prime Minister himself is undoubtedly a rare opportunity, and I don't know if their children have this blessing.

When the students listened, they still looked the same.

Obviously, they didn't care about what Fang Xiu said.

In fact, Fang Xiu didn't care what they thought.

Most of the students who can be sent to study at Mingxiu Academy belong to two types of people.

One group of people is the son of a wealthy merchant, who thus obtains a qualification equivalent to a prison student and can participate in the imperial examination in the future.

Some of these students do have the ability to read and are willing to read, and some are forced by their parents and elders.

There is also a group of people who can't be taught by the gentleman in the house, and their character is really stubborn, and the elders in the family have high hopes for them, thinking that they will be sent to the Mingxiu Academy and taught by a more powerful gentleman.

Even if you can't change your evil and return to the right, you can get the false name of a protΓ©gΓ© of the Son of Heaven and satisfy the vanity of your parents and elders.

There is no doubt that the vast majority of these students are misbehaving.

For this part of the students, Fang Xiu's idea is very simple, if they can teach, they will teach, and if they can't teach, they will find a separate place for them, and let the society teach them to be people, so as not to bring down the atmosphere of the academy.

Her Majesty the Empress and the Prime Minister were already present.

Next came the first gentlemen of Mingxiu Academy, who appeared in front of the students and their elders.

There are more than 20 gentlemen in total, some of whom are long-established bachelors who have been well-read in poetry and books, and some are officials in the yamen.

There are also some readers invited by Fang Xiu from all over the country who have a certain amount of study and research on the "textbooks" of Zhenbao Zhai.

Most of these scholars have no fame.

Anyone who has a little fame will not be willing to waste time on these idle books that do not have the slightest benefit in the imperial examination!

But.

They do have a more or less understanding of mathematics, physics, chemistry, and biology.

Although the understanding is not thorough, and the level is only limited to junior high school to high school, even ordinary high school students may not be able to compare, but it is more than enough to teach these students.

Fang Xiu founded the Ming Xiu Academy, mainly to cultivate talents with a modern knowledge system, so he recruited them to be the masters of the academy.

After the appearance of the gentlemen.

Someone presented the best rice paper and the four treasures of the study.

Wu Mingkong stepped forward first to inscribe - Ming Xiu.

The inscription after Fang Xiu - Academy.

Thus, Mingxiu Academy was officially founded!

Mr. and the students walked into the college.

Their parents and elders were all scattered.

Fang Xiu and Wu Mingkong rode in the same carriage and returned to Chang'an.

Spacious in a carriage.

The little empress looked at Fang Xiu and asked, "Is that little maid's body better?" ”

Fang Xiu nodded and said, "There is no major problem at present. ”

"That's good."

The little empress said: "That little maid is innocent and cute, I still like her." ”

"It's cute, it's innocent...... Not necessarily. ”

Fang Xiu muttered in his heart, still without any expression on his face, and said, "Her illness this time has given the minister some warnings. ”

The little empress was slightly stunned, and asked curiously, "What warning?" ”

Fang Xiu said: "Be prepared for danger in times of peace. ”

Be prepared for danger in times of peace?

What do you mean?

Wu Mingkong's good-looking peach blossom eyes showed a touch of confusion.

Fang Xiu explained: "The imperial doctor of the Tai Hospital, although he is full of medical books and has excellent medical skills, but he has no way to deal with diseases that he has never seen, and the diseases in this world, after all, are only a few recorded in medical books, and most of the diseases are not recorded in medical books.

And these diseases need a large number of people to study and study, instead of not looking at them if they feel that they are not good, they don't care, they don't ask! Even if you don't see it well, you have to study it well!

The imperial physician of the Tai Hospital needed to diagnose the sick and could not spare time, so the minister planned to recruit Lang from the private sector to specialize in the study of diseases that were not recorded in the medical books, and he had to study them thoroughly! ”

When Wu Mingkong heard this, he probably understood what he meant, and asked, "This requires a lot of silver, where does the silver come from?" ”

Fang Xiu said: "This time, the Mingxiu Academy raised a lot of silver, which is enough to build another academy after the completion of the Engineering Academy and the Agricultural Academy, specializing in the study of medical skills, and the minister intends to name it Mingxiu Medical College." ”

Wu Mingkong thought about it, nodded, and said, "Just do as you say!" ”

............

Time passes.

In the blink of an eye, it has been seven days since the establishment of Mingxiu Academy.

The plaques of the inscriptions of the little empress and Fang Xiu have already been hung on the door.

In a seowon surrounded by bamboo forests.

A gentleman in a long shirt, holding a primary school math textbook, said loudly: "These numbers look unfamiliar to you, but you must also learn them, because they are the foundation!" Only if you can understand these numbers can you learn the following content! ”

As he spoke, he wrote the Arabic numerals, 1 to 9, on a wooden board with charcoal.

Every stroke is very serious.

The students at the bottom really didn't care.

Sleep sleep.

Quarrel of quarrel.

I didn't take this gentleman seriously at all.

The gentleman is not annoyed, just do his own thing.

After writing the Arabic numerals, he turned around, patted the table, and raised his voice: "Quiet! ”

When the voice fell, the students did not change in the slightest, and continued to go their own way, sleeping and slept, arguing and arguing.

When Mr. saw this scene, a nameless fire rose inexplicably in his heart.

He was originally just a poor talent in Huizhou, and by chance came into contact with the math book of Zhenbao Zhai, and found that many of the contents on it were very interesting, and some of the principles were the same as arithmetic, but they were simpler than arithmetic.

In the days that followed, he became obsessed with mathematics, often buying similar books from Jumbo Zhai and solving some of the above problems.

Later, the people of Zhenbaozhai found him and asked him if he would like to go to Chang'an to be a teacher, and he had two taels of silver a month!

Two taels of silver may not be anything to the vast majority of readers.

But for him, a poor scholar with four walls, it is indeed a huge amount of money!

Thus.

Without hesitation, he chose to carry his bags, came to Chang'an, and became a gentleman.

When he came here, he knew that the so-called Mingxiu Academy was actually founded by His Majesty and the Prime Minister.

The students here are all rich or noble, and none of them can be provoked by him.

Thus.

Even if no one listened to him, he didn't dare to say anything.

But.

Today.

Looking at the increasingly noisy class, he couldn't help but think of his two taels of silver.

Although he has no fame and is not a person who has read poetry and books, His Majesty and Fang Xiang invited him to be a gentleman, which must have a deep meaning!

In any case, he shouldn't be so muddy, he has to get by!

As soon as he thought of this, he mustered up the courage out of nowhere, slapped the table, and said angrily: "It's all quiet! ”

The sudden sound silenced the students.

The sleeping student was also awakened and looked at Mr. blankly.

"Your parents paid three thousand taels of silver to come here, not to let you sleep here, but to let you study hard! In the future, I will serve the court and benefit the people! ”

The gentleman hated the iron, slapped the table, and said loudly.

As soon as the words fell, a student stood up and said angrily: "You still know that my father and my mother spent three thousand taels of silver!" All the money you have taken is from my father and my mother, who gave you the courage to teach us a lesson here? ”

"That's it! If you are a jinshi, or a university scholar, that's it, not even a showman, you might as well be a private school gentleman invited by our family, why do you say that we don't study? ”

"I can't memorize the four books and five classics, I teach us some messy things all day long, and even let us study hard, it's a joke!"

"You said it yourself, these things you teach, the imperial examination? Can you earn money? ”

"Since we can't, what's the point of let's learn?"

The gentleman was dumbfounded by them, his mouth trembled slightly, and he could only repeat vigorously.

"Rotten wood cannot be carved, and rotten wood cannot be carved......"
