Making money, taking exams, and raising a family in rural imperial examinations

Fang Shanyuan is actually an out-and-out ancient man. He is old-fashioned and stubborn, full of the serious character unique to scholars of this era.

But it doesn't mean that he is absolutely static and easy to bully.

At the beginning, Lin Ze was promised to teach in a private school, although it was largely for money, but after arriving in the private school, he was also extremely troubled by the mischievous temperament of these children picked out by Lin Ze.

But during the time spent together, he still likes these children who are smart and willing to study hard, although they are escaping. From the bottom of his heart, he really regards these children as his own students, not just to complete the teaching task.

At this moment, someone is pointing fingers at his students, saying that children cannot be taught, and rotten wood cannot be carved, how can Fang Shanyuan bear it?

Teachers are the ones who don't want to hear people say that their students are too bad. If you don't say Fang Shanyuan, if you are someone else, you can't stay angry in front of so many people.

Compared with Lin Ze, a modern person who likes to speak the vernacular, the reserved ancient people are no worse when they scold others.

The sentence "Ru Cao's supernatural powers are unfathomable, but Hu Busheng is poor and blue", the angry Master Zhong on the opposite side almost fainted.

I stopped dragging the text to sell ink, and directly slapped the table three times in a row and said angrily,

"Bastard! You, where did you come from? How dare you humiliate me in public. I have been teaching for many years, and I am full of peaches and plums. I have never seen such an unreasonable and unreasonable junior!"

"Senior is serious, how dare this junior humiliate you in public? My student is unteachable, and senior has a great reputation. What's wrong with us suggesting that you ride the wind and go straight to the Nine Heavens? The junior has short-sightedness, and let the senior tell me to wait." Vision, let me, rotten wood and indestructible students, study hard."

Fang Shanyuan is also a poisonous tongue when he is serious.

Lin Ze didn't care about his reputation, he was not afraid at all, anyway, he gave up the imperial examination, even if he argued with others, the imperial court wouldn't get rid of his fame, and he had no reason to tolerate others pointing at his students.

Mrs. Zhong was speechless, and his head and eyes were dizzy with anger.

Seeing this, the friends at the same table stood up and were about to fight back again, and the atmosphere was tense.

"It's a joy at the banquet. If you have something to say, it's better to come back later to refute it. Then everyone will be happy to compete..."

Fortunately, the party was about to start at this time, and Han Yuanqing, who replaced the teacher and called everyone to maintain order, stepped forward to appease.

at the same time.

Mr. Jiang was also walking from the door, accompanied by a young man with a good bearing.

Seeing this, everyone could only give up temporarily, waved their sleeves and sat down again, staring.

I secretly thought in my heart that I was going to wait for the debate and exchange, and then teach this junior who doesn't know the rules, it's really annoying!

"Brother Lin, I will trouble you later..."

After Fang Shanyuan sat down, he whispered to Lin Ze.

He came back to his senses after the impulsiveness was exhausted. Today they did everything under the name of Lin Ze. Just now he impulsively offended the opposite Mr. Zhong. When Lin Ze shows up later, Mr. Zhong will definitely bite Lin Ze. Ze does not let go.

But... so what.

Lin Ze tapped the table with his fingertips, and smiled lightly, "The princes and generals are kind, and those who come have no fear."

Isn't it just a quarrel, who is afraid of whom, today these people clearly have no intention of letting him leave easily.

……

The appearance of Mr. Jiang immediately quieted down the noisy restaurant lobby, which shows Mr. Jiang's status and prestige in the county.

But today everyone is more interested in the handsome young man next to Mr. Jiang.

Because the young man was able to walk side by side with Elder Jiang, and the attitude of Elder Jiang was not only kind to him, but also courteous. The whole Qingshan County could not count the number of Elder Jiang who could do this on the palm of his hand.

Who is that young man?Everyone was extremely curious.

Soon, Mr. Jiang walked to the main seat in the middle and answered everyone's doubts.

"...This is the new county magistrate of our Qingshan County, Duan Wensai Duan County Magistrate, Wen Sai is not only our new county magistrate, but also my teacher's closed student, hahaha, that is, my junior brother, and more importantly He was the number one scholar appointed by His Majesty last time."

"The county town that Wensai arrived at just the day before yesterday came here today to praise us before the rest is over. Later, everyone has to show their skills and let me, a junior from the capital, take a good look at the talents of Confucian scholars in our small county town. .”

Mr. Jiang was all smiles, and when he talked about Duan Wensai, his tone was very admirable and proud.

At the same time, I also presented the news that the carp jumped over the dragon's gate to the Confucian scholars sitting here. Duan Wensai is from the capital.

What does the capital represent?The capital city represents the rich and powerful, and if you get ahead in the imperial examinations in the future if you get connected with the rich and powerful, you will be on a rocket launcher and go straight to the sky if you enter the officialdom.

And Duan Wensai was the number one scholar hand-picked by His Majesty in the last term, and the number one scholar was sent down to a small county like them to be a sesame official, which is quite different from those appointed by Juren.

Ordinary people are officials, people call it gold-plating to increase experience, and once the three-year term is over, they will definitely be transferred back to the capital to serve in the court.

So the point of Jiang Lao's words is already obvious.

He doesn't like and can't accept the rules in the officialdom, but he doesn't hate the officialdom if he thinks that the officialdom is dark, so stop others and don't go. Everyone has their own way, and it all depends on who is suitable for which one.

Everyone is a sensible person. Hearing the words, he immediately complimented him.

"County magistrate Duan is really a young talent. It is admirable that he won the honor of Enke in less than a year."

"Magistrate Duan is so capable, we people in Qingshan County will be blessed in the future..."

Don't look at the stubborn and old-fashioned appearance of these Confucian scholars present, but that is all false. When it comes to fame, fortune and future, they are all human beings, and they can change their faces faster than their faces.

Li Sheng and a group of half-grown children were stunned.

In their impression, the gentlemen and Confucian scholars are not like this, they should all be arrogant and not bow down for five buckets of rice.

Even saints cannot escape reality.

Fang Shanyuan sighed at this person's constant scene, and took the opportunity to teach the students around him,

"Remember: the prosperity of the world is for profit, and the hustle and bustle of the world is for profit; although people are driven by the word 'profit', they must not forget their original intentions. Of course, they must adapt to the situation and not be too stubborn. rule."

After a few days of school, the students who didn't have enough ink in their stomachs looked distressed:

The most painful thing about Mr. Fang's lectures is that if he likes it, he will learn it. The questions are too difficult, Mr. Fang!

Everyone decided to look at Mr. Lin, who understood them best. The 12-year-old stared at Lin Ze, trying to figure it out.

Lin Ze raised the corners of his lips, acting as an interpreter as everyone wished,

"Mr. Fang means to tell you: For most people, they like money and fame, and there is nothing that money and fame can't solve; if a box of silver and reputation is not enough, then you can give him another box."

The students suddenly realized that this is the case, so you understand it!

Fang Shanyuan: ...Where is the wall, let me die.

Zhang Yu tilted his head silently, indicating that this is not my husband-in-law.

Fortunately, the attention of the people around is on the unexpected appearance of County Magistrate Duan at this moment, and no one has heard the ideological education class of Zeyu Private School, otherwise the masters present will definitely swarm up and attack their table Of.

Here, Mr. Jiang continued to happily talk a lot of nonsense similar to the headmaster's routine before announcing the theme of this exchange banquet.

"I heard a very interesting speech a few days ago, so... Today, the theme of our exchange meeting is: There is no discrimination in education."

After the words fell, the audience fell silent again, not quite understanding why Mr. Jiang would use this as a topic.

This is a big leap from previous years' exchange topics. The topics that everyone exchanged at each gathering were basically poems, songs, or current affairs. related to the test.

But what is the purpose of communicating without knowing the theme of teaching without class?

Mr. Jiang raised his hand to signal that everyone was not in a hurry, and explained slowly with a smile,

"I know that everyone has doubts about the theme of this year's exchange. In fact, I originally planned the theme to be about water control and current affairs in southern Fujian, but a few days ago, I heard a certain talented person talk about the definition of "education without distinction"..."

"And the recent actions of this talented man who made the argument have also caused a lot of noise in our Qingshan County. It has been highly controversial, and it has even involved the image of our Confucian scholars. Therefore, the old man invited him today to discuss with everyone. One or two... Lin Xiucai, I wonder if you can share your new theory with everyone?"

In the end, Mr. Jiang looked directly at Lin Ze with a smile on his face and sharp eyes.

Hearing this, everyone also looked at him one after another, some frowning in thought, some sympathizing with him, and of course gloating.

Mr. Jiang's move was clearly intended to make things difficult for him.

Novel remarks are not easy to be accepted by everyone, and Lin Ze's words and actions directly challenge everyone's three views of the world. It is conceivable that it is difficult for one person to persuade so many Confucian scholars present in the verbal battle.

However, if successful, the rewards are not small.

Lin Ze glanced at the old man surnamed Jiang who smiled like a Maitreya Buddha, and silently gave his middle finger to him. This old man really thinks highly of him!

But the book of war has already been written, and in front of his wife and students, how can he not accept the reason to retreat.

"Since Mr. Jiang opened his mouth, then Yuntang is not talented and has made a fool of himself."

Lin Ze flicked the corner of his clothes, got up and walked to the field, with half of his hands on his back, full of aura.

"There is no class in teaching comes from the Analects of Confucius, which originated in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty. At that time, rituals and music collapsed, and the princes were in power, and they set up their own official schools one after another, calling them "Xiang Gong". Children can receive education..."

"However, in the hearts of Confucius and Confucianism, educating the people is the main purpose of strengthening the country's power. Therefore, education without discrimination came into being."

"Since ancient times, there have been various interpretations of this saying. In Lin's view, this sentence is as simple as the literal meaning: education should have the opportunity to learn regardless of status. Scholars, farmers, workers, businessmen, and even Craftsmen are slaves, and those who learn without being cheap, because there is no discrimination in teaching."

After finishing speaking, Lin Ze stood quietly on the spot, allowing everyone to raise questions and refute.

Everyone looked at each other, Mrs. Zhong who had quarreled with Fang Shanyuan before stood up first, sneered,

"Lin Xiucai's explanation is somewhat reasonable, but the old man feels that he is afraid of exaggerating the truth, and his mouth is quite high-sounding. Since there is no distinction between education, why did the old man hear that Lin Xiucai's private school has as many as 200 years of schooling for the children of merchants? It is nearly ten times more than other private schools, so what is Lin Xiucai's explanation for such a profit?"

It seems that these people have checked their details and came prepared.

Lin Ze looked around at the people who were staring at him, raised the corners of his lips, and in the eyes of everyone who was envious and jealous, he raised his hand and shook his index finger, revealing a beating smile,

"Master Zhong, right? You haven't done enough homework. As the principal of Zeyu Private School, let me re-populate you personally. 200 taels is only half a year's repair at Zeyu Private School, and 400 taels for the whole year. If Plus food, accommodation and other miscellaneous expenses, I think the annual cost of a student is about 500-600 taels."

hiss~

After the words fell, everyone present took a deep breath, this guy really has the face to say it!
