In the past two days, Mr. Jingyuan's life is not as moist as before, since Li Yang went to Mr.'s house to visit his wife, as long as Mr. Jingyuan returned home, his wife would reprimand him, suspecting that he didn't care about anything else except fishing all day long, and the old couple who had been in peace for many years had no less quarrel for this, which completely broke the original peaceful life

Seeing Mr. Jingyuan's indomitable appearance, Li Yang casually handed over the wine jug: The student dared to ask Mr. What he wanted to do in his life

Jingyuan took the wine jug and took a sip: Ten years of cold windows are just for one day to become Feihong - famous in history

Li Yang: The students do not agree with Mr.'s words, only one or two of the tens of millions of people in the cold window of ten years can become Feihong, so if they can't become Feihong people, won't they live, or like Mr. who lives in seclusion in the countryside and fishes in the mountains

Jingyuan: Then what do you say?

Li Yang: In the eyes of students, life is the process of unremitting hard work, and it is good to dream big, but it must also be realistic

Jingyuan: Then tell me how I can't help the country

Li Yang: Mr. to serve the country does not necessarily have to be an official or a soldier, the common people do what they should do can also serve the country, take the farmers as an example, as long as they work hard to plant the land, to harvest the grain will pay taxes for the country, this is a way to serve the country, and businessmen like me exchange goods from the north and south to ensure the people's living needs, earn profits at the same time, the country will create a 10% tax

Craftsmen make things that the people need through craftsmanship, which not only facilitates the needs of life but also provides some employment opportunities, and the stability of a country requires countless such people to pay silently, but Mr. Fishing students really can't see what you have achieved for the country

They are not as talented as Mr., and they can only do their best for the country in their own way, but Sir, you have the talent to govern the world, and you really only think about how to waste your time, which is disloyal to the country

Jingyuan: Then if I go to the academy to teach, even if I am loyal to the country, you will inevitably talk too much about the Li family

Li Yang: Dare to ask who Mr. is teaching

Jingyuan: Of course, it's a student, so you still need to ask

Li Yang: Sir, you also said that the ten-year cold window is only for one day to become Feihong - famous in history, so why don't Mr. go out of the mountain to let go of the shackles and teach a group of talents that can be created, even if the students can't become Feihong once, they can also cultivate virtue with literature, and cultivating virtue with literature is also the original intention of students to establish this academy

Li Yang's insight made Mr. Jingyuan have a trace of admiration for him, he didn't think about educating a group of people with lofty ideals before, but none of the private schools he had stayed in before were to his liking, and he didn't have so much money on hand to run his own academy, although he had nothing to do with the young man in front of him, but the two could be said to coincide in some views and ideas, the reason why Mr. Jingyuan didn't refute what he said, it was because all the words Li Yang said were close to Jingyuan's heart

Jingyuan: Then the head of the Li family, then tell me how I am unjust

Li Yang: This old saying says that marrying a man and dressing clothes, as a man, you have to shoulder the responsibility of supporting your family, but Mr. does have nothing to do but care about himself, completely ignoring the teacher, a person lives only a few decades, Mr. now lives as a person for half a life, even if Mr. does not live for himself, but at least he has to live for his family

Doesn't Mr. want to let his wife enjoy the blessings in the second half of his life, Mr. lives a lifetime, even if he has achieved something, this is something that no one can control, to cherish the people around him, don't regret it when the sun sets

Jing Yuan sighed helplessly: "What you said is light, Master Li, but I am also a two-class jinshi, and I can't make people laugh when I teach for things outside my body."

Li Yang: Mr. teaches to educate people, not to make money, so why should Mr. care about other people's opinions

Jing Yuan looked at the calm lake and hesitated for a while: Jing Yuan, the head of the Li family, does not ask for brocade clothes and jade food, just a cup of tea and light rice, and asks the head of the Li family not to bother

Li Yang: I think you just stay too long and make people lazy

After speaking, Li Yang got up and stood up from the straw mat, he threw the fishing rod in his hand into the lake with all his strength, and when he was about to pack up his things and leave, Jing Yuan looked over: Why don't you fish for luck and the future of Zhejiang, Master Li

Li Yang: I can't catch the luck of Chang Tan Lake and the future of Zhejiang, so I don't need to continue to waste time here, if I stay for a long time, people will only play things and lose their minds, and every hour of my time is precious, unlike Mr. who can spend his time in the mountains and wilderness

After saying that, he was about to leave with his things, but before leaving, he still stopped for a moment: if Mr. figured out that he could come to the Li Family Manor in Alan County to find students at any time, the door of Alan Academy would be open for Mr

This time, Li Yang was completely dead set on inviting Mr. Jingyuan to teach in the academy, seeing that the academy was about to be handed over in 10 days, it can't be because Mr. Jingyuan didn't come to teach Alan Academy, the notice of Alan Academy's enrollment has been posted to the ten villages, and in the past two days, Li Yang and Han Juzheng have been looking for a new Mr. Teacher for Alan Academy, there are several Xiucai who are more outstanding in writing and meaningful to teach in Alan Academy, but Li Yang's requirements for Mr. Teaching are relatively high, and he feels that Xiucai is still a little low in terms of knowledge, The teacher of Alain College must at least be a man

In this era, Xiucai is the lowest level of merit among literati, and scholars must first pass the county examination to become a child before they are eligible to go to the state capital to participate in the college examination, and only after passing the college examination can they obtain the fame of Xiucai

The imperial examination is held once every three years, as long as the show is qualified in the imperial examination, it will become a lifter, if you are lucky, you can produce a lift person among the 50 show talents, if you catch up with the people who take the exam this year, you will not be able to get 100 show to raise a person, and the examination will not only enlarge the lintel, but even the family members will follow the light, and the proportion of laissez-faire officials is much higher, which is much higher than 7 grade officials and eight grade officials, so it is definitely a rarity to lift people to be idle at home

This old saying says that money is not everything, but no money is really impossible to get, it is really to Kenjin, that is a penny is difficult to defeat a hero, this Mr. Jingyuan's wife because he refused to go to Alan Academy to teach, he was sick and bedridden after a few days of sulking

Mrs. has always been the pillar of the family, this time Mrs. Jingyuan was frightened when he was bedridden, so he quickly ran to the city and invited a Lang Zhong to see a doctor for his wife, Lang Zhong took a pulse It turned out that his wife was sick and was caused by a rush to attack the heart, and this disease could not be cured if he got it, so he could not be angry slowly, and once he was angry repeatedly, the condition would become more and more serious and even endanger his life

Lang Zhong prescribed a prescription for Jing Yuan and told him to go to the pharmacy in the city to grab the medicine according to the prescription, and the 6 pairs of medicines in the morning and evening can be effective after drinking, and then I will come to prescribe some tonic medicine for Mrs. Zun's diagnosis and treatment to consolidate it

Jing Yuan took the prescription and saw that there were a lot of precious Chinese medicines on it, and he sighed in his heart: Lang Zhong's medicine is probably a lot of money

Lang Zhong: A pair of 300 yuan, and Mrs. Zun's body is weak, you can stew some chicken soup for her to make up for it

Jingyuan heard that the six pairs of medicine cost nearly 2 taels of silver, and the sweat instantly flowed down his forehead, and then his wife raised her hand to a wooden box with a pale face, and she was out of breath and told Jingyuan that the money was in the box, and when Jingyuan opened the wooden box and checked that the copper money in it was only 500 yuan, which also had to give Lang Zhong 200 yuan for medical treatment and prescription money, and the remaining 300 yuan was not enough to catch the medicine

Shi Niang asked slowly: Is there enough money?

Jing Yuan looked at his wife's appearance and tears instantly welled up in his eyes, and he held back his tears and comforted his wife: Madame has enough money - I will go to the city to get you medicine, Madame, you must wait for me to come back

Master: Then you should be careful on your own road

Waiting out of the house Jingyuan can't hold back tears, there can be more than 100 families in Pingtian Township, Mr. Jingyuan in order to treat his wife this time he put his old face out, more than 100 families were all borrowed by him to only make up more than 400 yuan, most of the people who live in Pingtian Township are unwilling to lend him money, the neighbors and neighbors have known that he doesn't do anything for so many years, if it weren't for his wife to run the house, he may not even be able to eat

At this time, Jingyuan began to think about those friends he had, but even if he remembered that he hadn't been in contact for a few years, and now he didn't know where people lived, Jingyuan was crying along the way, wiping his tears with his sleeves, he remembered what Li Yang said, "You must cherish the people around you, don't regret it when the sun sets", and he began to fear that he would lose his wife who had been with him for many years

Thinking that the woman had not enjoyed a few days of happiness with himself for so many years, he began to blame himself in his heart, regretting that he had wasted so much time, and when he went to Taizhou City to visit his former friends, many of them had moved to other places, and they had not moved away for many years, and they had to borrow money if they met and chatted a few words, and they would euphemistically say that they were also short of money, and they really couldn't help, which was okay, and there were so many who not only did not help, but also took the opportunity to mock Mr. Jingyuan for how he had mixed up over the years, and he didn't even have 2 taels of silver

Mr. Jingyuan is a stubborn person, he has never been so chilling as he is today after living for decades, the last friend in Taizhou City is the prefect Sun Yuanwu, he will definitely be able to help himself with this, but when he arrived at the state capital yamen, he lingered at the door for a long time, after all, Sun Yuanwu is the local magistrate in charge of Taizhou, if he asks for help in major matters, it is reasonable, but it is a little difficult to borrow more than one or two silver from the prefect

But thinking about what Mrs. was bedridden and didn't care about shamelessness, he took a deep breath and mustered up the courage to go to the palace to visit Mr. Sun, when Mr. Sun knew what happened to Mr. Jingyuan, he took him 10 taels of silver without saying a word, and told him that you don't have to pay back the money, but Mr. Jingyuan is a principled person, he can only give 2 taels of silver, and said that he will definitely pay back this money in the future

Seeing Jingyuan's situation, Sun Yuanwu not only sighed: Why do you say this, my student asked you to teach before, but you didn't go, and you just found a job to make a living

This incident also made Jingyuan realize that I have lived in vain for half of my life, neither won fame nor saved family wealth, and I have suffered so many years of sins with my wife, and I will not be able to live in such a mess in the next life

Sun Yuanwu listened to Jingyuan's words and made him feel very pleased: How good it is that you thought about it earlier, I will take some supplements back for you to make up for your sister-in-law, and I am preparing a carriage for you to send back

Jing Yuan hurriedly shook his hand: No-no need for me to walk back

Sun Yuanwu: It's all this time, you are still seeing me, my sister-in-law's illness is more important than anything else, okay, Brother Jingyuan, hurry up and grab medicine

Jingyuan was moved to tears and bowed to Sun Yuanwu: Jingyuan has thanked him here

After catching the medicine in the pharmacy, Jingyuan bought a chicken in the bazaar according to Langzhong, and when he returned home, he quickly lit a fire to boil medicine for his wife, Mr. Jingyuan has cooked at home over the years, when he killed the chicken, his hand holding the knife not only trembled, but the neck of the chicken did not dare to start for a long time, he grabbed two wings and pressed the chicken to the ground, and cut off the head of the chicken as soon as he closed his eyes, and almost chopped off his own hand with this knife

When the medicine was ready, Jing Yuan poured the decoction into the bowl and then brought it to Mrs. with both hands, he picked up a spoonful of the decoction and put it to his mouth, blew it, and waited for it to cool down, and after giving it to Mrs., after drinking the medicine, Jing Yuan dragged a chicken leg for Mrs. and filled it with a bowl of soup, and when he put the chicken leg in Mrs. 's mouth, "Madam, you have to get better quickly, don't leave me alone."

Although Jingyuan's stewed chicken soup is not so delicious, she is still very happy in her heart, and after eating something, this person is more energetic than before: Old man, don't just look at you and eat it

Jingyuan heard this, nodded again and again, "Okay, I'll eat", although the last said so, but he did only hold a little soup, not a family, I don't know that firewood and rice are expensive, these two days Jingyuan is taking care of his wife, almost every day has to spend thirty or forty yuan to buy some meat-vegetables-fruits or something, the less money in this pocket, alas, the more it is not resistant to spending, check the remaining copper coins at home, there are still 320 yuan left, thinking that winter is coming soon, and the family is preparing food and vegetables for the winter, which makes Jingyuan feel the pressure of life all of a sudden

On this day, Li Yang was in the yard wiping his armor and polishing his saber, and from time to time he would pick up the wine jug and take a sip, humming a little song in his mouth, and he would gesture twice when he was interested

At this time, a family member ran in: A person from outside the young master's manor who calls himself Mr. Jingyuan wants to see you

As soon as Li Yang heard this, he quickly put the armor and saber into the house, and then took the family all the way to the outside of the manor, Mr. Jingyuan stood in front of the door with his hands behind his back and was looking around, Li Yang quickly greeted Jingyuan and bowed his hand to Jingyuan: Mr. came to the humble house, and the students were not far away

This time, Mr. Jingyuan didn't have the arrogance he had before, and he also bowed back to Li Yang: Jingyuan, the head of the Li family, has figured it out

Li Yang: It's good that Mr. has figured it out - the student will take you to the academy to have a look

After speaking, Li Yang made a gesture of please to Jing Yuan, "Mr. please" Jing Yuan also replied with a gesture of please, "Lao Li, the head of the family leads the way", Li Yang and Jing Yuan just walked for a while, and a few of them came to the plateau on the back foot, and the guards in front of the door knew that they were here to find the young master: Deputy Patriarch Gao-Deputy Patriarch Yuan, my young master just went to Alan Academy with a person who called himself Mr. Jingyuan

As soon as the plateau people heard the name Jingyuan, wasn't that the teacher who Li Yang invited three times without moving, and they also wanted to see where this Mr. Jingyuan was sacred, so several people rushed to Alan Academy together

When Mr. Jingyuan saw the scale of the academy, he was dumbfounded, he didn't expect that the scale of Alan Academy would be so large that it could accommodate 600 students to teach at the same time, and the general private school could have thirty or fifty students, and the teaching and learning environment of Alan Academy was definitely first-class among private schools, and the architectural style of the academy looked even more elegant and elegant

After taking Jingyuan to visit the academy, Li Yang asked: Sir, do you think there is anything wrong with the academy?

Jingyuan: It's very good - it's very good, but you have to prepare some sand boards for practicing writing, and the sand must be fine sand, preferably sea sand

Li Yang: Okay, no problem, I'll let you get it in a while, so is there anything else wrong?

Jingyuan: There's nothing else to do - I don't know how the head of the Li family wants Jingyuan to teach

Li Yang: I dare to ask Mr. what can be taught in the academy

Jingyuan: literacy and literacy - poetry and famous sentences - how to make articles and simple calculations

Li Yang: I don't know if the academy can teach more comprehensively

Jingyuan: Then it belongs to the six arts, rites, music, shooting, royalty, books, and numbers

Li Yang: The six arts are good - Alan Academy teaches the six arts

Jingyuan: If the Li family teaches according to the six arts, the academy will have to invite a few teaching gentlemen

Li Yang: That's fine, I'll ask someone to help me inquire about this tomorrow

Jing Yuan: Jing Yuan, the head of the Li family, has two proud protégés who can teach music and mathematics, and Jing Yuan wants to invite the two of them to the academy, and I don't know if the head of the Li family can allow it

Li Yang: That's good, sir, your two students, you see how much the monthly salary is appropriate for them

Jingyuan thought for a while: Give three taels of silver a month, if you give it to Shao Jingyuan, I'm afraid that he won't want to come

Li Yang was very refreshing: Okay, it's decided

At this time, Gao Yuan and a few of them rushed over, and as soon as they met, Li Yang introduced Gao Yuan and others to Mr. Jingyuan: Mr. Jingyuan, they are all my sworn brothers

Jingyuan heard that he threw his hand at everyone: Xinghui-Xinghui

Later, Li Yang introduced Mr. Jingyuan to Gao Yuan and a few of them, and Gao Yuan and a few of them bowed to Jingyuan together: Our brothers have heard of Mr. Jingyuan's name for a long time, and today we will see a fortunate meeting

Li Yang looked at the plateau: Why did you come here?

Gao Yuan: A few of us took our brothers to the Ten Villages for a turn, and just now we passed by the seaside of Xilan Village to see that the cornerstone of the fortress has been built

Li Yang: The progress is very fast, by the way, the weapons needed by the trapping camp and the fire line camp have been cast, so you can take someone to get them

Yuan Kuai: I just happened to meet General Long, who will come to the manor in the evening

Li Yang: I guess he ran out of money, and Yuan Kui asked his brothers to work hard and help me go to the beach to get a few bags of sand back

Yuankui: How many bags do you need?

Li Yang: 10 bags should be enough

Yuan Kui: Okay, I'll just let someone get it for you

Gao Yuan: Yuan Kui, let's go and get the supplementary weapons first

Jing Yuan saw that on the plateau, they were all wearing iron armor and swords on their waists, and he guessed that these people were all generals who led the troops, but how could they be respectful to a businessman, and who was this Li family master who actually forged weapons by himself

Li Yang deliberately found a better house for Mr. Jingyuan in Alan County for him to live in first, and after a while, in order to build a better room for him and his gentlemen, such as pots and pans, wardrobes, beds and other daily necessities are readily available, if you sent these things to him before, he would definitely not want them, but now he understands a truth: dignity is worthless in the face of reality

Li Yang was an anxious son and wanted Jingyuan and his wife to move to Alan County tonight, and Jingyuan also wanted his wife to enjoy the blessings of Shangqing as soon as possible, so he did not postpone this matter, Li Yang personally drove a carriage to pull Jingyuan to Pingtian Township to pick up his wife, and when he came to the thatched house where Mr. Jingyuan lived, as soon as he entered the house, he knew that his wife was sick in bed
