Daqin: You have a son to help Su

Chapter 115 Chapter 115: Movie Emperor Wang Meng, Jiuyuan County's Education Policy
Wang Meng got off the carriage in a relatively secluded place, and walked towards the village with a disheveled face and difficulty. When he saw the first villager, he slumped on the ground.

"My fellow, fellow, are you alright?" There were more than one villager who was digging the channel, and when they saw Wang Meng collapsed on the ground, several of them gathered around to help.

"Water...water..." Wang Meng said with his throat hoarse now, pretending to be weak.

In fact, except for the first batch of immigrants brought by Wang Meng, the other immigrants basically didn't know him, and these people in front of them were naturally not among the first batch of immigrants.

Hearing these words, someone immediately stepped forward and handed Wang Meng the clear water he carried with him. Wang Meng picked it up and took a few sips, then quickly covered it and returned it to him.

After waiting for a while, Wang Meng imitated someone who hadn't drank water for several days. His expression was a bit unfinished, but he persuaded the person in front of him: "Water is very important, please take it."

This set of performances, Wang Meng has been somewhat familiar with it, it can not only express his refugee status, but also express the kind side of his nature.

Hearing what Wang Meng said, the man put the pottery filled with water and said with a smile: "We have dug several wells in the village. It is very convenient to draw water."

It's just that the abundance of water in the north still requires people to be relatively economical. After all, there is still too little rain, so they can only rely on groundwater.

"That's good, that's good," Wang Meng stood up and looked around. A channel was being dug here to bring water from a tributary of the Yellow River to irrigate the fields.

This year there is no such channel, and each irrigation is transported by manpower and animal power. The efficiency is low and the corn fields cannot be fully irrigated.

"Which county did you come here from?" Hearing that Wang Meng was definitely spoken by old Qin people, the people around were still a little enthusiastic and began to ask about Wang Meng's hometown.

After all, in ancient times, geographical relationship was the most important relationship besides kinship relationship. If they were born in the same county, they were basically allies in the court.

Wang Meng had investigated this village. Most of the people in this village came from Hanzhong County, and it was in the northern part of Hanzhong County. Naturally, they spoke a Qin accent.

"I'm also from Hanzhong County. I immigrated last year and missed my homeland, but I couldn't survive. I couldn't live anymore. I became a seller in Henan..."

While talking, Wang Meng looked a little sad, as if it was real, and then continued: "After the man brought me to the northern part of Shangjun, he immediately let me off the horse. I can only walk here."

The honest and honest farmer has never seen someone with such good acting skills, and he was taken aback by Wang Meng's words. In order to increase his credibility, Wang Meng continued to fool: "I have a close relative who also came to Henan, I don't know which village? I am going to join him first, and wait for the young master to send him to the field."

Speaking of this, most people believed Wang Meng's words. After all, this is human nature, and Wang Meng's words did not have too many loopholes, so they naturally expressed their understanding.

"My fellow, why don't you sit down first, wait until Xu Li comes, let's talk to him, and see if you can find your relatives."

After the people who came to help Wang Meng left this sentence, they all went to work. After all, the progress of digging the channel slowed down, and it was not only their village that was damaged, but two other villages were waiting for them!

Looking at the villagers who were working hard to dig the channel, Wang Meng nodded in satisfaction.Sure enough, we old Qin people are hardworking, Wang Meng thought to himself.

Near noon, Xu Li, who was temporarily in charge of managing the village, came here with lunch. Because the supplies were not particularly sufficient, the lunch for excavating the channel was only a meal of corn porridge.

But most of the people are very satisfied. After all, in their hometown, they only have two meals a day, morning and evening. When they come to Jiuyuan City, they also have lunch. This is already very good.

After Xu Li heard what happened to Wang Meng, he also gave him an extra bowl of corn porridge, but Wang Meng's dress was so authentic that Xu Li didn't recognize that the man in front of him was the Jiuyuan County Supervisor.

However, Wang Meng's every move, even if he imitated the person in distress, still had the feeling of having read a book, which made Li Xu a little curious.

We must know that in this era, knowledge is basically monopolized. Regardless of the family studies passed down from generation to generation by the nobles, scholars also pay attention to schools of thought such as Confucianism and Taoism, and they will not spread them casually.

Even though Confucius put forward the view that there is no distinction between teaching and learning, how can a person who can only barely eat and wear have time to study various theories?
When he came to Wang Meng, Xu Li tentatively asked, "Is this fellow literate?"

Hearing this question, Wang Meng raised his head in doubt. Was it because he wasn't acting realistic enough?How did it get noticed?
But who is Wang Meng? He immediately figured out how to deal with it, and said in a somewhat frightened tone: "Yes... yes, I am fortunate enough to have been a book boy for the children of the third elder in the village, and I have learned some words."

For the sake of authenticity, Wang Meng also specially emphasized the pronunciation of the book boy's identity, emphasizing that he had read the book, and showed a feeling of being flattered.

This made Xu Li believe it all at once. It seems that the person in front of him has only studied some enlightenment children's education, and has never seen anything in the world. Even a small official like himself is so afraid.

"That's a good relationship! Young Master intends to promote education in Jiuyuan County. You, who have studied for a few years, can just help educate children." Xu Li remembered that when the county magistrate Xun Yu announced the matter, he looked beautiful. His face was also full of joy.

As expected, the children in Jiuyuan County will basically learn Xunzi Confucianism in the future.

Naturally, Wang Meng knew the news, and Xun Yu had argued with the young master about this matter. The young master was planning to develop in an all-round way, talking about Confucianism, law, Taoism, agriculture, Mohism and so on.

But Xun Yu thinks that Confucianism and Law should be given priority, and agriculture and Mohism can be studied at the same time. There are no professional and responsible students for other schools in Jiuyuan County. If people who don't understand are forced to teach, it will only be counterproductive.

In the end, the young master also felt that Xun Yu's words were reasonable, for example, Taoism was too illusory, and it required a certain amount of life experience to learn.

Relatively speaking, Confucianism's 'morality', Legalism's 'law', Mohism's 'universal love' and craftsman skills, and agricultural knowledge of farmers seem to be the most practical.

Wang Meng looked at the little official in front of him. After learning that he could write, he could think of the son's policy. It seemed that he was indeed a good official.

But everything in this village must be understood clearly.The construction of the village led by Xu Li, whether each household has a house to live in, whether they can eat and wear clothes, and the conditions of the fields in the village are all the criteria for Wang Meng's inspection.

"My honor!" Wang Mengsi bowed in disbelief, trying to imitate a person who knows some culture, but doesn't know how to bow.

It can be said that Wang Meng's every move is already very quintessential, coupled with his magnificent appearance and figure, if in later generations he can act much better than someone who can only read one, two, three, four.
