Chapter 41: The Down-and-Out County School

The county school is located in the west of the city.

It is located on the edge of the Chenghuang Temple in the county.

It is not far from the place where Zhang Luo and his party stayed.

When Zhang Luo walked to a place not far from the county school.

It was found that there were several horse-drawn carriages parked at the side gate of the temple of the City God.

Zhang Luo recognized that this was the carriage he saw outside the city yesterday.

I saw the side door of the temple wide open.

A few subordinates pulled out a curtain.

The carriage was kept inside.

At the same time, it also blocked the way to the county school.

Zhang Luo hurriedly grabbed Zhang Changwei and said:

"Slow down, there's a carriage of the ladies of the government in front."

"We'll wait for them to leave."

Sure enough, Zhang Luo saw the shadow of a beautiful woman from a distance.

The shadow shines on the curtain.

The woman of the eunuch's family, in front of the pavilion.

They can't be followed.

But in the Ming Dynasty.

At the same time, feudal etiquette and religion were serious.

All sorts of things happen for women to be free.

The southeast region has the most prosperous cultural atmosphere.

The variety of ideas is also the most open-minded.

There are even places where girls' schools have appeared.

A small number of scholars also shouted slogans for emancipating the mind.

The middle of the Ming Dynasty was such an era of self-contradiction.

Feudal conservative, free thought.

In this period, they collided with each other.

It's a pity that all this will go with the decline of the dynasty.

In the end, it was destroyed in the flames of feudal war.

Zhang Luo came back to his senses.

Just as a gust of wind was blowing.

Rolled up the curtain in front of him.

A pretty face was revealed.

Zhang Changwei on the side hurriedly covered his eyes and lowered his head.

But Zhang Luo didn't have this habit.

Still looking ahead.

The servants hurriedly closed the curtain.

The girl seemed to feel the gaze from afar.

Turning his head and looking at Zhang Luo for a moment.

Then the curtain was reopened.

A word popped up in Zhang Luo's heart: "Beauty."

In a few seconds, the convoy in front of it began to move slowly.

The figure of the beautiful woman gradually faded away.

I waited for another half pillar of incense.

The prefect's convoy has already left.

The two of them came to the county school at this time.

The county school was a county-level teaching institution in the Ming Dynasty.

It's a very imposing building.

Zhang Luo saw the sage gate at the gate of the county school.

This gate represents Confucius and other Confucian sages.

It represents that after this gate is the land of the stars.

This kind of sage gate.

Only ancient temples and official schools can be had.

The sage gate of Jinjiang County School is stone and silver.

It's very atmospheric.

Walk through the Gate of the Sages.

Behind it is another ancient gate.

It was filled with weapons.

Since the Tang Dynasty, weapons have been erected in front of the official office.

The more weapons there are on the door, the higher the rank.

The Ming Dynasty's instrument door has completely become the appearance of the door.

It is used to warn idlers and others not to enter.

The hall in the middle is the main hall of the prefectural school.

This is used for important events.

There is also a tall statue of Confucius inside.

The house next to the main hall is used as a place for lectures.

On the left side of the room hangs a silver plaque.

It reads the words "Myeongbundo".

In the middle are enshrined some Confucian sages.

Such as Zhu Xi, Cheng Yi and others.

The one on the right is the dormitory in the school.

In the back are kitchens, warehouses and the like.

Zhang Changwei pulled Zhang Luo towards the dormitory on the right.

Zhang Luo observed as he walked.

I feel that this big Jinjiang County School is a bit bleak.

The sun has fully risen.

But Zhang Luo didn't hear a trace of reading.

I didn't even see a few students.

Although the overall reading is very clean.

The building also looks novel.

But Zhang Luo always felt a little less angry.

In the history of Jinjiang County, there have been great poets like Ouyang Zhan.

The cultural heritage is very sufficient.

Every time there is a temple test.

The number of Jinshi among Fujian students is in the forefront.

In addition, Fujian is also a famous province for imperial examinations.

It stands to reason that Jinjiang County should not be so bleak.

Xiucai dormitories are marked with plaques.

Zhang Luo and the others quickly found the student that Zhang Ah Gong said.

Freshmen can also be called Xiucai.

Zhang Luo saw him for the first time.

found out that this Xiucai surnamed Wu was already in his thirties.

As the saying goes.

should be regarded as an old talent.

In his thirties, his hair was half-white.

There are also signs of baldness.

Wearing a Confucian costume with holes.

Slender and short appearance.

It looks like a penniless down-and-out household.

Zhang Luo didn't expect it.

A talent who was admitted to the children's exam.

It looks like this.

"Wu Xiucai, this is the clansman my father mentioned to you."

"Brother Zhang Luo, this is Wu Xiucai."

Zhang Luo pretended to be respectful.

made a standard scholarly salute to Wu Xiucai.

Seeing Zhang Luo so sincere.

Wu Xiucai nodded and said:

"Zhenhaiwei finally has good seedlings after so many years."

"I'm also happy for Ah Gong Zhang."

After speaking, he helped Zhang Luo sign the letter of guarantee.

Then he took out a small seal and stamped it and handed it to Zhang Luo.

I got what I was expecting.

Zhang Luo asked slowly:

"Wu Xiucai, why is this Jinjiang County School so cold, and I haven't seen a few people?"

Wu Xiucai seems to have been touched in a sensitive place.

He sighed violently several times.

whispered:

"It's all the work of the newcomer Kang Jiaoyu."

"There aren't many people in Jinjiang County."

"He's going to get a pass exam."

"Anyone who doesn't pass will be assigned a new membership."

"As soon as you do this, all the people in the county school will run out."

"Only we poor talents are left."

"Just counting on a few taels of silver to live."

"Otherwise, I would have run away if I had changed."

saw Wu Xiucai's such a decadent look.

Zhang Changwei stood up and said:

"How can this Kang Sect do this?"

"The county school is full of veritable talents!"

Zhang Changwei rebuked the teachings.

Wu Xiucai did say:

"Kang's edict is also for the sake of the county."

"Clean up the atmosphere in the county school."

"But Jinjiang County has been learning for a long time."

"It's not like adding one or two exams will solve the problem."

Zhang Luo asked puzzledly:

"Wu Xiucai, what is the reason why the county has learned to this point?"

Wu Xiucai sighed and said:

"The talents in Jinjiang County who have some skills are all studying in Quanzhou Academy."

"When I came to the county school, I was a poor talent who was counting on Luyin to live."

"When the last priest was there."

"I also understand that Jinjiang County School is not as good as Quanzhou School."

"Let everyone learn on their own."

"For more than ten years, two people in the county school have passed the township test and become lifters."

"And there is one in Quanzhou School almost every few years."

"So if you choose, you will definitely go to Quanzhou Academy."

Zhang Luo and Zhang Changwei glanced at each other.

Shook his head.

I really didn't expect such a big county school.

It ended up in such a field.

But Zhang Luo was not surprised.

Fujian has a strong scholarly atmosphere.

Rich people like to read and run schools.

This Quanzhou school in Jinjiang County.

Established with the Northern Song Dynasty.

It can be regarded as a double heritage of culture and history.

Zhang Luo activates the knowledge in "Ancient History".

It was found that there was a book ban movement in the Ming Dynasty.

So he asked:

"The court today did not have a will."

"Don't you let private schools run schools?"

"This Quanzhou Academy is so bold?"
