After becoming the protagonist of abuse

After getting the news from Yang Yan, Luo Xi thought about it carefully, and went to meet those literati in person to see if he could find two available people.

Yang Yan simply said, "Then I will go with you."

Anyway, for the sake of reputation, although Yang Yan is not very satisfied with this group of people, he can't go to jail directly, but finds a fairly clean courtyard and puts him under house arrest.

At the gate of the courtyard, two guards stood upright, saw the two opened the door directly, and one of them was assigned to lead the way for Luo Xi and Yang Yan.

In the hall, a group of literati were discussing something, about a dozen of them.

Luo Xi asked casually: "What are they discussing on weekdays?"

The guard said solemnly, "Discuss how to escape from here, and planned to bribe us a few days ago."

Luo Xi raised her eyebrows, a little disbelieving, "How much are they willing to pay?"

These days, if a literati wants to be famous, he cannot do without various banquets, and it is best to go to other places for study tours and debates, which can cost a lot.The aristocratic family has a large number of people, and after sharing it like this, many children of the aristocratic family will look glamorous, but in fact they don't have much money.

The guard said disdainfully, "They said that they will support His Majesty in the future, and they will definitely remember our kindness. They might as well give us a parent officer. Your Majesty has already collapsed. Who knows if their promise can be fulfilled? Besides, I have no worries about food and clothing here. ,Parents, Antai, why bother to do such a thing that will kill your head."

I knew that if I painted big cakes to fool him, and used benevolence and righteousness to suppress him, the actual benefits could not be seen at all.

Besides, if he had to come and see, he had never heard of the sons of the clan that those literati wanted to support, so how could they compare to their family's prefect?It's a pity that the prefect didn't proclaim himself emperor, and he couldn't speak bluntly.

Yang Yan twitched his lips, "How long have you been discussing, why haven't you acted yet?"

The guard bowed his head, hiding the embarrassment in his eyes, "You gentlemen have already acted, but we stopped them and sent them back to the room."

Of course, what he didn't mention in detail is that due to the huge gap between his own strength and his action plan, many literati couldn't even climb over the wall and were directly arrested by them.That day the captain was upset again, so he simply blew up their plans and made several literati faint.

Yang Yanman nodded casually, "Oh, evil intentions never die."

In the hall, someone had already noticed their arrival, and immediately glared at Yang Yan's words.

Luo Xi coughed lightly, "This is called repeated defeats and repeated battles."

If Yang Yan was called arrogant and contemptuous, then Luo Xi was a typical example of adding fuel to the fire. Instead of comforting them, it made them even more angry.

"I've heard about Mr. Luo's talent for a long time, but seeing him today, I'm sure he's extraordinary." Immediately, some people started to feel strange.

"Thank you." Yang Yan replied lightly.

"I'm talking to Mr. Luo, but you, Yang Yan, are a martial artist, so why do you talk?"

Yang Yan stared at the flushed person in the crowd, smiled slowly, simply took Luo Xi's hand, and deliberately shook the hands of the two tightly clasped, with a bit of showing off in his tone, "Just this, enough not enough?"

The man finally remembered what was going viral in Luoyang city: the two or three things that Luo Xi and Yang Yan had to say, and his face turned blue.

Luo Xi took Yang Yan's hand, went straight through the crowd and sat down at the main seat, "It's because I didn't entertain you well, so I came to visit you today."

Everyone made professional smirks and greeted each other a few words. The person who stood up at the beginning, that is, Yao Ge with the hottest temper, was silently squeezed to the back by the crowd.

Luo Xi deliberately blurred the intention of these people, and asked gently, "I am very moved to learn that you all intend to come to my place to study and discuss with local scholars. I wonder what your plans are next?"

Everyone in the hall looked at each other in blank dismay. Are you willing to discuss with them?

Yao Ge sneered, and immediately wanted to fight the case and asked to leave here, but the people around him held his shoulders tightly, so as not to let him hurt himself.

Facing Luo Xi's gentle and cold eyes, watching Yang Yanshi playing with the dagger from time to time, the people around Yao Ge were sweating, and they scolded Yao Ge over and over again in their hearts, trying to stay calm, "Since you are here, Mr. Luo Here, then we will naturally obey Mr. Luo's arrangement."

How can they have the confidence to make demands when they are all on their territory?Who knows if Luo Xi was fishing on purpose, or if he turned around and killed the person who made the request?

It's fine for Yao Ge to kill himself, who knows if Luo Xi will be angry?

"I have a lot of waste to do here, and I just need your help, especially when many children are just dying, and the kindergarten must be well established." Luo Xi just pretended not to see the actions of the people behind.

"But a child from a local family?" someone asked in front of him.

Everyone secretly breathed a sigh of relief, teaching the children of the aristocratic family is not too embarrassing, and they are worthy of their status.

"It's just an ordinary urchin." Luo Xi said calmly.

Yao Ge's face turned green. He was about to stand up when he was pushed down by the people behind him.

Song Zhen, who was frowning at the side, raised his head and said, "Since you are a student, you should educate the people. Mr. Luo has made a good arrangement. We have no objection, and we can take office at any time."

The few people sitting beside him hurriedly followed suit.

The people in the back counted one by one, and they basically agreed, leaving only a few diehards who did not speak.

Luo Xi was still gentle, "It's okay if you don't want to, since it's not to come to my place to study, then I don't want to stay longer, so I will see off the guests directly."

Seeing some people look happy, Yang Yan raised his chin, "Before you leave, settle the bills for these days."

The guard silently stepped forward and distributed several bills to those who did not express their views.

Yao Ge glanced at it, and almost passed out without a breath.

For an ordinary family, one tael of silver is more than enough for a month of life for a family of three, and they can live well. Yang Yan dared to offer 500 taels of food for half a month for one person!

Forget it, in addition to food, there are also accommodation, clothing, pens and paper, guards... all kinds of ingeniously designed items, about 6000 items are listed, and the total size adds up to [-] taels.

Those who knew knew that they had been arrested and were trapped for half a month. Those who didn't know saw the expense, and they probably thought they had gone to some blessed place to enjoy themselves.

Song Zhen gasped, "Then I'll wait..." No matter how rich they were, they couldn't throw out 6000 taels all at once.

Luo Xi said calmly, "Everyone is willing to build this place, but it's just a mere daily expense, so what if I bear it all by myself?"

Such righteous and awe-inspiring words made Song Zhen feel a toothache, and had to thank him.

Immediately someone pressed the bill, "I see outstanding people here, and I have benefited a lot from being here. I am willing to share the worries of the prefect."

Yang Yan glanced at it, and the guard removed the bill in front of this person.

The people in the back learned from each other, and they struggled to open their mouths. Even Yao Ge said something with a pale face.

Luo Xi didn't mind these people's insincere words, so she chatted with them with a smile, then turned around and took Yang Yan away.

When the two of them walked away, Song Zhen leaned on the chair, covered in cold sweat, raised Yao Ge with his forehead, "Be careful with Mr. Yang, this man is not easy to talk to."

"I won't say anything about Luo Xi. After all, he was raised by a famous teacher from a decent family, but Yang Yan was just a dandy in the past, and now he is just a martial artist. Why should I wait for courtesy?" Yao Ge was furious.

"Then he is also a warrior who has commanded an army of [-]." What Song Zhen didn't say was that killing you is easy.

Looking outside the door, Song Zhen couldn't help sighing, unlike his father Song Dagong who was ambitious in trying to support the new emperor, and also different from other people's enthusiasm, he didn't have that kind of thought, he just wanted to protect himself.

It's just that in this troubled world, this wish is extremely difficult.

The bookstore under Luo Xi's name was desperately printing. After everyone worked in shifts for a whole month, the foundation of the academy was finally ready. As for the faculty, the professors of etiquette and the four general books were basically from those who were coerced and lured by Luo Xi. literati.

As for the key thoughts, calculations and martial arts, Luo Xi focused on arranging his own manpower, and resolutely refused to give the enemy a chance to infiltrate.

The vigorous construction of the academy and the repair of a large number of buildings have also amazed many people, and the news that the academy will be opened here has also spread.

Half a month later, the main channel of the state capital posted a notice: "Huguang Elementary and Middle School Opening Announcement"

At the same time, the first page of the newspaper was given over to this announcement, explaining the details clearly, repeatedly emphasizing the importance of reading, and listing various rewards for excellent grades and future development space.

In the teahouse, a group of people were dumbfounded listening to the storyteller talking about the newspaper.

"Should all school-age children go to school?"

"Or the children of the Xu family, the Song family, and the Yao family to teach?"

"Elementary school doesn't charge tuition? The half-year tuition of middle school is only ten taels of silver."

"Can you become an official after college? Then my son can also..."

There are those who are impatient and go out to buy newspapers and study the content by themselves, and those who are quick-witted and suddenly realize the rare opportunity, and are already thinking about how to tell their children to strive to become a blockbuster in the academy.

There are people who are elated by this, and there are naturally people who are cynic and unbelieving.

"Look at that young man from the Zhou family. He has been studying for 20 years and has never been in the field. Now even if he wants to be an accountant for a shop, he still asks his grandpa to worship his grandma everywhere. Until today, he has nowhere to go. If it’s taken, it’s our turn.”

"What's the use of reading it? It's just to know a few words. Reading it over and over again will only make your mind crooked. Every day you think about going out and doing things, and you don't want to do things down-to-earth. It's best not to read this book. Our family My ancestors never read books, so don’t they live well now?”

Not only the people near the government office started to make noise, but in every village, they were beating gongs and knocking on doors from door to door, asking them to come near the village ancestral hall and wait for the orders of the officials.

"But labor?"

"Could it be this year's tax?"

The farmers and women whispered, and from time to time they glanced at the brand-new official uniforms of the officials standing in the front, revealing a bit of envy in their words.

The little official in front was also unambiguous, and directly took the notice and pasted it on the wall, and said loudly, "The prefect has an order that all school-age children, from seven to 15 years old, must report to government schools and enter elementary and middle schools according to their age and knowledge. and university."

There was no need for other people to ask, the little official consciously introduced the content of the notice briefly, and stopped when his throat was dry.

Li Zheng took out broken silver from his bosom and stuffed it into the hands of the little official, "Master, our 15-year-old son, the boy has to work in the fields, and the girl has to be busy with housework to get married. Can you see if you can-" —”

The little official didn't charge any money, and said bluntly, "My father-in-law, there is no harm in learning more. Anyone can do those jobs, but once these learning opportunities are missed, they will be gone."

Li Zheng was hesitating, a little moved, who doesn't want to be an official?

But how many officials and masters can there be in the world?Those of them who plan food in the fields are children who have studied, how can they compare with the children of those officials?But there is hope, after all, it is good.

A peasant woman hurriedly pushed through the crowd and squeezed to the front, showing a cautious smile, "Master, I have two sons and a daughter. It's good for this man to learn something, but the daughter has to take care of the family."

As she said that, the peasant woman pulled the girl next to her and squeezed her wrist tightly, "Big girl, don't you think so? You definitely don't want to read those books, you want to help your parents with work at home, don't you? Work now It's easy, and I will find a good husband's family in the future, I am your mother, how can I treat you badly?"

The girl next to her was pale, she bit her lip, but she refused to speak.

The peasant woman pushed her and said impatiently, "Say it quickly."

The girl's eyes were red, tears were about to drip, and her voice was extremely low, "Yes, I didn't want to—"

The little official smiled but said, "Then you have to take good care of your daughter. The prefect said that all the colleges will be allocated to the college. If there is one person missing, that family will receive [-]% of the grain tax this year. If two people are missing, then [-]% will be paid." There is no upper limit on the tax. Especially the daughters of each family have to count the number of people."

The prefect is benevolent, their tax revenue last year was only [-]%, if these people don't want to go to school, the tax revenue will be doubled directly.

Last year, due to natural disasters and man-made disasters, when the prefect distributed food, he also deliberately went from house to house to register the names to ensure that no one was missing, and the food was distributed according to the head. Now, these unscrupulous people cannot escape.

The little official emphasized, "How much work can she do for the family as a girl? If the [-]% tax is suppressed, the whole family may not be able to survive the winter. And it does not matter whether it is male or female. If they perform well in the academy, they can earn money. Not uncommon."

The peasant woman didn't take the latter sentence to heart at all, she just felt a little pained, but she still squeezed out a smile, "What you said is that I am just such a daughter, and my two sons are not as caring as her, so naturally I have to feel pain." She. Even if she wants to stay at home and work, I have to drive her to school, how can I let her be delayed. "

The servant next to him comforted, "If you learn well, the prefect needs a group of female officers, and Miss Luo also needs playmates around her. In the future, maybe she will be able to rise to the top, not worse than your son."

In case it soars into the sky, it is also the fate of the girl.

The girl came over to thank her with red eyes, and finally asked the little official for the newspaper, holding it in her arms, as if holding hope in this life.

Luo Xi was very busy, so busy that she had to drag Luo Zhi over to help her, and told her to find someone quickly.

Luo Zhi blinked, took the post and wrote the invitation letter, widely inviting women from famous families in Huguang to hold a banquet in the government office.

Seeing that the situation of the Luo family is very good, and Luo Xi is the prefect here, no one will not look at Luo Zhi and give Luo Zhi face. As long as they receive the invitation letter, those who can rush over will come, and those who have not received the invitation letter are cheeky, and Relatives went to the banquet together.

Some hope to be able to become sisters with Luo Zhi, some come here with the important task of family friendship, and some hope to get to know the men of the Luo family through Luo Zhi. , with a perfect smile on his face, or picking up flowers or preparing to write poems and paintings, striving to express his best side.

Luo Zhi came out last, but she didn't lead everyone to the garden. Instead, she chose the exposed hall and set up the tables and chairs.All the women turned their eyes to Luo Zhi, waiting for her to speak and announce the start of the banquet.

Luo Zhi caressed the hairpin ring, showing a gentle smile that was very similar to Luo Xi, "Thank you, sisters and sisters, for your support. Today, I will thank you all, and accompany me to sort out the materials."

Those who can enter here are women from aristocratic families. In the future, most of them will manage small courtyards or clansmen, and take care of account books. These things will not be difficult for them.

The maid at the side brought ten boxes of rosters.

The flower in the girl's hand was scared away, she covered her mouth with an embroidered handkerchief, this, this is completely different from what she thought!

Luo Zhi smiled slightly, "Now the college is about to start, but the admission list and the entrance examination have not yet been prepared. My ability is limited, so I can only ask you sisters to join me."

The roster has been issued to each woman's hands.

Luo Zhi said, "Everyone, please."

The originally lively atmosphere suddenly became quiet, and no one wanted to leave. They had prepared for a long time to be able to enter here today.Even if it's different from what they imagined, they can't leave now.

Ning Wan took a look at Luo Zhi who had already begun to correct official documents and organize the roster, and felt a little envious in her heart. She was not allowed to enter her father's study, let alone touch official documents.Biting her lip, she turned to the first page of the roster.

Luo Zhi saw everyone's reactions in her eyes, and silently memorized the names and faces, especially those who took the initiative. These people would also be her first team members.

Song Zhen is also very busy, and he is getting too busy.

At first, he didn't know Luo Xi's bold words and ambitions, and thought that Luo Xi's saying that the academy students were just ordinary urchins was just modesty, even if they weren't the children of aristocratic families, they were at least the children of officials.

In the end, when he saw the student, Song Zhen realized that Luo Xi was right.

These are real urchins with mud spots on their trousers, dressed plainly, and some of them have never even seen a pen and paper, let alone received proper family education, and have never read a book through a page.

That's all, Luo Xi has built many academies at one time, and the students have their own places to go, but the number of teachers is far from enough.

What's the matter?From Luo Xi's point of view, this matter is easy to handle, that is, one teacher has seven classes a day, and several academies take turns running.

Song Zhen scolded Luo Xi several times in his heart, feeling that his arms and legs were running thinner, teaching those children to doubt life.

He is not easy to get close to the children in the female class, but most of them are calm and obedient, and they especially cherish the opportunity to study. The children in the male class are really difficult to take care of. They like to fight and have many questions on weekdays. They like to chase him and ask questions. .

Every day, I had to cast aside Luo Xi's behavior of treating people like donkeys, and the faint dissatisfaction in Song Zhen's heart gradually disappeared. Watching the rapid growth of students in each class, he suddenly remembered a sentence that Luo Xi occasionally said.

At that time, Luo Xi said at the opening ceremony of the college: "Ten years later, you will be the pillars of the local area, and before that, I will provide you with learning opportunities."
