Crossing the Tang Dynasty to farm
Work related
by? "
The master gritted his teeth and said: "The gentlemen who entered the school have to accept it before they can teach. Many of them lost to Mr. Tang Pin. They volunteered to teach for a year, which really polluted the scholars."
The court official was dumbfounded and didn't dare to ask any more questions. The gentleman shook his sleeves and spoke angrily to Mr. Tang Pin and Mr. A Niu. He didn't even look at him as an official. He was not too busy making connections, as if staying in this school was more important than going to the imperial city to become an official.
The third class is a biology class. Students are asked to learn how to farm, observe the growth of food, study the fruits of fruit trees, and also study animals. It includes a lot. In the eyes of court officials, this is free-range. Good book Instead of reading, I went to learn how to farm.
The gentleman seemed to be a highly educated scholar, and the court officials stepped forward and asked, "Why do you let the students come to farm?"
The gentleman said with a dark face: "Mr. Tang Pin suggested that scholars should sit in the school and attend classes. The villagers will plant the fields and arrange them. When the food is researched and the stomach is full, it can be regarded as useful for reading."
The court officials listened to the freshness, and said: "The usefulness of scholars? Isn't it for the country?"
The master said: "If you can only write a few words, memorize a few articles, and recite a few temple poems, what effect can it have on the country? Apart from reading and literacy, you must put what you have learned to use. If there are no literate people to grow food Records, you don’t know the growth requirements of the grain. In the past year, the school has recorded many kinds of grains, distinguishing the habits of the grains, and is sure of the environment and time required for the growth of the grains. Now the villagers follow this record Come and plant the land, and after a few years, there will be more results.”
Court officials were surprised: "Let scholars come to study grain? This has never happened before."
The gentleman said: "Yes, it was all brought up by Mr. Niu. Even if he defiled the scholars, he would show it off. With this kind of credit, it is not too ugly. At most, he would go out and say that he is a teacher who teaches biology."
The officials of the imperial court looked into the crops studied by the students, and even recorded the amount of water they poured. Several students surrounded the crops to observe. The officials didn't know each other. A villager passed by and pointed to one of the crops and said, "The number two plant is dying, please water it more."
The student raised his head and said, "This is a peanut. It's delicious when it grows on a drier sandy ground. The research on No. [-] is to see how dry it can be."
The court officials said goodbye to the students. It was noon, and the students all went to eat after school. Some ran to the village. The court officials walked forward to the busiest places. Floating over, the court officials bought several meals, and they all nodded their heads. Behind the small commercial street is a row of big houses. There are villagers walking in and out, and they pull out a lot of goods. The court officials want to take a look inside , was stopped at the door, many products are only produced in Fugui Village, and everyone is not taught, all commercial secrets, even officials can't see them.
The court officials went to the small commercial street and saw the students picking up a bowl of rice, so they began to help the merchants to count the goods and count the silver to keep accounts. The rectangular plate made a crackling noise, and the merchants and villagers all smiled and watched the students keep the accounts. After finishing the accounts, they put them all away, wrote their names on them, and said that they would collect business according to this record every month. tax.
Datang's business has always been ignored, it can be said that business is looked down upon by others, but here, there are still officers and soldiers guarding, collecting business tax from merchants, the government has to do something, they have to look after it, and goods are pulled If you don't go out, the officers and soldiers will come to help, and if the transaction is large, you can also invite officers and soldiers to testify.
☆、Can't support officials
Under the influence of silver, the business was approved by the government. When Tang Pin paid the commercial tax at the beginning, it was not simply to send silver to the emperor, but to seek protection and let the court strongly support the development of business. It was obviously very successful. The court initiated The business tax received a lot of money, which also improved the status of the merchant a lot.
Going to the villagers' homes in Fugui Village, the court officials saw that the villagers were eating. There were meat slices in the children's bowls, dried mutton hung in the kitchen, a dozen chickens were raised at the door of the house, and eggs were piled in the basket. The elderly eat stewed pork, and the middle-aged people carry big bowls of grilled rice, all of which are dry rice. Now that the autumn harvest has just passed, there is nothing to do to wait for the winter, but now it is different. The villagers still have a lot of things to do. Grains piled up at home will only get moldy, and only when they are made into commodities can they be exchanged for silver.
They are all dressed in woolen cloth, and no child walks barefoot. The court officials have gone to several houses, and they can eat meat and dry rice to eat all they want. Children can read a few articles from their mouths. If you are ten years late, you have to send them to school. Children in this village are free, but lunch is not included, and children in other villages are free of charge. Students in the city have to pay tuition fees to study, and those in the collar city are even more expensive. , have surpassed the schools in the capital.
The court officials looked up into the mountains, and saw a large area of tea trees and fruit trees, and countless chickens walking around in the mountains. It is said that the chickens are free-range and fed with food. They grow very quickly, and they are also an income of precious villages. , In the middle of Fugui Village, there is a large family with the largest courtyard in the village. It is said that it is the home of Mr. Tang Pin. The court officials did not go forward, and the emperor forbids anyone to enter, even the court officials.
A woman came out with a child in her arms, holding a basket with medicinal herbs in it. A woman in shabby clothes came and took the basket. She thanked the woman and turned to leave without seeing him. When the money arrived, the court official stepped forward and asked the woman who took the medicine, "What kind of medicine is this?"
The woman said: "The daughter of the village head's family specializes in treating women's illnesses. This is for medical treatment. My family is poor, so I can come to receive it for free. This is the third time. I don't charge a single coin. The autumn harvest has just ended. She doesn’t accept the food from the family, so I’m really sorry.”
The imperial court official asked, "Free medical treatment?"
The woman said: "Yes, sometimes I will go to ten miles and eight towns to deliver medicines. They are all good medicines. If you take them, you can cure the disease, which is amazing."
The court officials did not stay long, and walked leisurely up the avenue with their hands behind their backs. They had seen the wealth of Fugui Village, but they could not understand it at all, but it did not affect the mood of the court officials. People who have clothes, can read and write, walk well, have money in their pockets, and have medicine for sickness, the palace can't do this.
On the avenue, a businessman had too many products, and the three young men couldn't push them. A small pit cost them a lot of effort. Seeing the court officials with a few officers and soldiers, the businessman ran over and said: " My lord, can you help me? If you don’t get in this car, if you don’t leave, it will be too late to go back, and you can’t see the way.”
The court official was stunned, looking at the calm expression of the businessman, as if this matter was very common, just like asking the villagers for a favor, the court official nodded and asked the officers and soldiers to push the car up together, the businessman thanked, and the court official asked : "Do you usually call for help like this?"
Only then did the businessman look seriously at the court official and said, "Isn't your lord an official from the local area?"
The court official shook his head, and the businessman smiled embarrassedly: "I'm sorry, my lord, we are used to asking the official for help. Usually when we see the official on the road, we will call over to help. The official doesn't care. Sometimes the official also listens to us. The officers and soldiers will take the initiative to help us when they help to pull the goods, and I didn’t see clearly for a while, so please don’t mind.”
The court officials waved their hands to let the businessman go first. The businessman thanked again with a smile, and rushed to the city gate with the goods. The court officials brought the officers and soldiers back to the palace. To wait a while, the court officials asked where the honest and upright lord was, so they went over to have a look.
Just in the backyard of the official mansion, there is a large yard, thousands of female workers are busy, and the official is among them, discussing with them, looking at the newly pulled wool, and also looking at the woolen cloth. Seriously, the officers and soldiers will also help when moving the cloth.
The court officials stood at the door and watched for a while, but did not go in. This is not a place for him to enter. When he returned to the living room, the housekeeper served the dishes first, and asked the court officials to eat first. The dishes were different from the ones I ate yesterday, they were never eaten before, and they smelled delicious. After taking a bite, the court officials were in a very complicated mood. The officials are higher than the officials in the imperial court, and they are guarding in the rich city, but they have endless official duties. This year's hungry people have just left, and there is no poverty after the relief in the rich city.
The first 20 hungry people were rescued by Fugui City, which caused a great disturbance in the court. The boss of the official lord fled, and other officials resigned and went home, but the lord Guan persisted. This pressure, no Ordinary people can afford it. Now that they are eating good food and good food, they can’t be idle. The tasks that come down from the court can be important, and everything can make a group of officials lose their heads. There was no silver reward, and the court even reached out to the official for silver.
The court officials ate a few mouthfuls, no matter how delicious the food was, they couldn’t take it anymore. They went back to their room and wrote down everything they saw and heard today until late at night. The court officials didn’t stay long. Seeing the court officials pack their luggage and return to Beijing, the official was taken aback. Could it be that he encountered problems in Fugui City?
The court official shook his head and said: "Fugui City is not something that officials like me can understand. I am afraid that I will make mistakes if I read too much. As an official of Fugui City, my lord has to obey. Everything is beyond my cognition. Everything is wrong." It is even better than what the emperor said, there is no need for me to stay any longer, so I will go back to the palace and report to the emperor, the prosperity of the country and the people of the Tang Dynasty are just around the corner."
Sending off the court officials, the official still has a lot of things to do behind him, so I didn't take him seriously. Ah Niu's iron making was very successful, but I don't know what else Ah Niu is dissatisfied with. Up to now, he still said that he needs to study. The first batch of weapons was delivered, and the output was very high. They were first tested in the surrounding army. In order to keep secret, the weapons were delivered by officers and soldiers, sandwiched in food, and sent to the army together.
The amount of wool sent is increasing, the carpenters are making machines day and night, and there are not enough workers. Almost all the women in the collar city come here. As long as you have money, as long as you don’t commit a serious crime, you can go to work, but you don’t have freedom and you have to be guarded.
I don't know how many times the old man has asked someone to ask about the whereabouts of A Niu. The old man misses his grandson and wants A Niu to go home. Tang Pin is always listless now. He hopes that A Niu can finish it soon. When I asked the question, it made the official even more bitter. The papers went up to ask the emperor to send more officials, but the emperor only gave one sentence, that there was no money to support the officials, which made the official almost slap the table.
Tang Pin counted the days, Ah Niu had been away for three months, and he only came back three times, and they all left after staying for five days. Made into sauce, and fried dried chili, put a little in the meal, it can also appetize, and it will be warm in winter, but everyone has never eaten it, so my aunt endured tears and ate it. After eating it a few times, she called out Delicious, new varieties are always not accepted by everyone at the beginning, so Tang Pin plans to grow them himself to eat.
My aunt made a lot of snacks for the official to bring to A Niu, and Tang Pin also wrote a letter to A Niu. In the past three months, Tang Pin wrote down everything he had learned and read, hoping that A Niu could Come back as soon as possible, and at the same time, I am a little worried, afraid that the emperor will not let him go, and it will be over if he locks up A Niu.
In order not to worry Tang Pin too much, the official will sometimes reveal some of Ah Niu's situation. The imperial court is preparing to move the iron-making place to the imperial city after the Chinese New Year, and the imperial court will take care of it. Ah Niu will come back. It means that Ah Niu has to make good iron.
Tang Pin moved a chair and sat in the courtyard, eating grapes brought by others, drinking tea, staring at the blue sky and white clouds in a daze, two servants stood guarding at less than one meter away from Tang Pin, Tang Pin Sitting up and falling asleep, I saw A Niu in my dream, and A Niu led him to gallop on the prairie on horseback, just the two of them, running freely, Tang Pin didn't want to wake up, and felt that it was better in the dream than in reality.
When I woke up, I had tiger skins on my body. My aunt took it out from his room to cover it. I was afraid that Tang Pin would catch a cold and get sick, so my aunt sat beside me and embroidered. Tang Pin looked interesting, so I watched my aunt embroider for an hour , Aunt got up and went to the kitchen to cook.
Tang Pin said: "Isn't there a servant?"
"The servant's workmanship is not as good as my aunt's." My aunt said: "You are too thin, if you don't mend it, you will be afraid of freezing when it snows."
Tang Pin pulled his aunt to sit down and said: "Let the servants do some things. There are many things at home, but they are tiring enough. I can't do everything by myself. If there are not enough people, please hire more."
Auntie patted Tang Pin's back and said: "How can servants be more careful than Auntie? This kind of life is very good, and I don't feel tired at all. Auntie is in charge of this house, and all the money is in Auntie's hands. If there are not enough people, I will hire them. It’s just about life matters. Auntie doesn’t want to leave it all to the servants. You and A Niu call me Auntie, and A Cai and A Hua call you Niangqin. This is what a aunt and Niangqin should do, and Auntie is very happy. "
Tang Pin went on to say: "Four children and grandpa, plus me and A Niu, if my aunt comes here with her own hands, she won't be exhausted. A Cai and A Shu are both grown up. Take care of them and let them do it by themselves. I don’t even need to take care of my servants. Ah Hua is about to be sent to school, and I have to try to take care of myself in the future. Grandpa is in good health. He stays in the school all day long, just pay attention to his health. He A Niu can take care of himself, so my aunt can have more time to do what she likes, whether it is brewing wine or embroidery, or practicing medicine, but don’t spend all her time on us. Aunt is a capable woman. You shouldn't be stuck at home, now women are starting to go out of the house to earn money, women shouldn't just hide at home."
My aunt burst into tears, she took Tang Pin's hand and said, "Auntie knows that you love me, but my aunt really doesn't feel tired. All the women in the village envy my aunt. I have met quite a few people, and I only see a piece of the house, but there is no place where women hang around like this. My aunt is the No. My aunt treats people according to her heart."
Tang Pin smiled, smiling very happily. Unexpectedly, my aunt had already had an idea in her heart. The population of Datang is small, and they will not live long. If women are locked up again, they will only be trapped in one family. The development of Datang is very worrying. You, in the agricultural Tang Dynasty, the status of women was the highest in an era of thousands of people, but this was not enough.
☆, Mrs. please
Tang Pindao: "Auntie doesn't have to think that she is a woman and give up a lot of ideas. Ahua will follow Auntie in the future and become a female doctor who treats people. I don't worry about Ahua getting married in the future. Auntie can also teach Ahua as much as she wants. No matter when, women's diseases must be healed."
The aunt nodded and said: "Yes, no one has ever thought of letting a woman treat a woman's disease. Male doctors always don't like to treat women. They don't explain some things. Women are even more afraid of letting a male doctor see a doctor. After practicing medicine, my aunt discovered this problem, and many women died of illness at this point."
"Is my aunt interested in teaching more people to learn medical skills?" Tang Pin said: "The girls in the village are always opposed by the gentlemen when they go to school, and they are also sorted to one side when they are sent to school. Usually, they can memorize some articles and write a few big characters at most. , the gentlemen are not willing to teach female students, but female students also have the right to study. If my aunt is willing, I would like to ask my aunt to teach female students in the school, from literacy to medicine, and arithmetic. I can teach you, Auntie, what do you think?"
My aunt smiled and said, "Okay, my aunt has long wanted to teach female students, but she was afraid of being gossiped about. Ah Hua is going to go to school, but no gentlemen are willing to teach. My aunt can be considered to know some words. It’s okay to teach children, but when a better female teacher is hired, my aunt can go to the school to teach female students.”
Tang Pin stood up and said, "Thank you, aunt, then I will invite aunt to the school to teach tomorrow. There are now about [-] female students in the school, and none of them have learned to write. It may be difficult to teach. Auntie will do her best."
The aunt also stood up and said: "Ah Hua, let's take it to school tomorrow, and take the little guy too. By the way, I can let the female students know how to take care of their children."
After the agreement was made, Tang Pin went to the kitchen with his aunt to cook. Tang Pin made a lion head. There were more men in the family. Both A Cai and A Shu liked to eat meat. Settle the bill, I am very busy and tired all day long, I have to make up for it, Tang Pin soup, marinated pork head meat is the old man's favorite, add a little wine, the old man can sit and eat all night, and the servants will eat by themselves Yes, there are two kitchens at home, my aunt occupies one, and the other is managed by the servants.
After hearing Tang Pin's words, the old man looked at his aunt and said, "Go, the school is looking for a female teacher, and now all women come out to earn money, if you look down on women, how can you live a good life in the future."
Tang Pin was shocked by what he said. He looked at the old man in surprise. The old man just drank some wine, took a bite of the lion's head, squinted his eyes and hummed softly as if enjoying himself. The old man has been in the school for more than two years. Usually, after picking up the children, I would stand outside the classroom and listen to the gentlemen's lectures, listening to the children's innocence and asking questions, which is more or less useful. Old hands are hard, writing is too difficult, but the old man still likes to attend lectures, which gentleman teaches which class, which student learns the best, the old man knows all about it, and sometimes borrows some books to read, most of which are incomprehensible , but the old man likes this, and thinks that a person can be considered a learned person when he is old.
Without Principal Aniu, Tang Pin directly put his aunt into the school as a teacher. Because of this incident, the gentlemen objected collectively. The reason is very simple. From ancient times to the present, there has been no school that teaches female students. Yes, not to mention that no school has ever hired a female teacher. This is an insult to learning, a mockery of scholars, and a bad reputation for women. The gentlemen scolded Tang Pin and severely reprimanded him. Instead of compromising in a few words, he said very strongly that if the place officially accepts female gentlemen and invites female gentlemen to attend classes, the gentlemen will leave here.
This matter also attracted the attention of the official. After mediation, it was still not resolved. Tang Pin insisted on letting women go to school. The gentlemen were unwilling to teach, so they invited female gentlemen to teach, but the gentlemen insisted on not allowing women to enter. Learning has always been learned by men, and women should have children at home and take care of the family, instead of running to school like men.
The two sides did not compromise, the gentlemen went on strike, Tang Pin took his aunt to class to teach female students, the matter suddenly became very troublesome, many parents came to understand, and the official lord even said good things on both sides, for the sake of To prevent the students from missing their studies, the gentlemen called all the parents and asked the parents to bring back the female students, while opposing Tang Pin's approach.
After three days of class suspension, the official ran over early in the morning and sat on the top of the university hall, watching the parents arrive and the students gathered around the back, and many villagers came to see with concern. On one side, Tang Pin and his aunt were sitting on the other side. The gentlemen didn't give Tang Pin a good look, and they all didn't want to get close to Tang Pin.
The start of the meeting was also mentioned by Tang Pin. For the meeting, all relevant personnel are invited. Everyone doesn’t understand this, so they just follow suit, but it’s easy to understand. This issue is related to everyone’s power. The official patted the table with a headache and asked everyone to be quiet Come down, very good, very obedient.
The official said: "Since ancient times, there have been no schools to teach and accept female students, and female gentlemen have not been invited. Women are always at home, but now it is a little different. There are more commodities and more profitable businesses. I only invite woolen cloth." Thousands of female workers, I have to say, women have also started to come out to earn money, but this matter of knowledge cannot be talked about with money, so please come here today and express your opinions together.”
As soon as the words fell, the parents and the villagers started to discuss enthusiastically. Soon, two teams were formed. Those who agreed to stand on Tang Pin's side, and those who disagreed, stood on the gentlemen's side. Tang Pin turned his head to look , I was shocked, there must be tens of thousands of people, there are people from ten miles and eight villages, if everyone has work in their hands, maybe people from the whole city will come, some of them are here to watch the fun , Some came for their own children, and some came to express their own opinions.
The students in the school were all standing in the middle, afraid of which side they would be on. The official pointed at the students and asked, "Why are you standing in the middle?"
The student said: "We haven't listened to the clearing order yet, so we don't choose sides."
Master Guan widened his eyes and said, "What reason do you want to hear?"
The student said: "Mr. Tang Pin said that every new problem has its two sides. Sometimes it is right and sometimes it is wrong. You can't just listen to one side."
Master Guan waved his hand and said, "Just listen quietly, and wait until you understand, then choose a side to stand on."
The gentlemen were the first to attack, and their dissatisfaction with Tang Pin had accumulated in their chests for some time: "It's too casual, how can we add women to the place of learning."
"Study quietly and serve the country. With women around, how do you let students study quietly? This is not to destroy people's children."
Those who were against started to yell at Tang Pin for being reckless, which would damage the reputation of scholars, while those who supported this side also started to yell back, women can earn money, the two parties quarreled for an hour, and the official's head twitched A group of scholars and gentlemen, thousands of students, plus nearly tens of thousands of parents and villagers, a single word from each person will make people's brain hurt.
The old man stood on Tang Pin's side. The villagers in Fugui Village were very sensible and they all had their own ideas. They were divided into two, with half opposing and half supporting. Look at this side, then turn your head to look at which side, and quickly choose which side to stand on.
At first, Tang Pin thought that only a few people would support him. In everyone's thinking, only men can learn knowledge. Before this idea changed, they would not support Tang Pin. But Tang Pin was wrong. Some of them were I think what Tang Pin said is correct. Some women in the family earn more money than men, and they think women can also go to school. There are also some families that only have daughters and girls are not allowed to go to school. What hope is there for the family? The parents whose daughters are studying in the school are on Tang Pin's side. The gentlemen usually don't teach the female students very much and let them write and read by themselves. But after staying for a long time, they can see the students reading and writing every day. , I still learned a little more or less. In the eyes of parents, this is a great thing, and I can brag about it to others.
There are also a few girls who are outstanding and can help the family settle the accounts, but my aunt stood up boldly. Since my aunt is a doctor practicing medicine and surrounded by a group of women, in this case, my aunt even more There is a reason for women to go to school, and a group of women are all on the side of the aunt. In general, the number of people on the two sides is about the same, and there are reasons, but no one can persuade everyone.
Tens of thousands of mouths spoke together, and no one could hear anyone's voice. The official patted the table vigorously, which made everyone quiet, and took out the note written by Tang Pin early in the morning. It was really ugly, the official The master recognized it for a long time, finally understood, and said: "Both sides have elected representatives to speak. It is useless for you to argue like this. No one can hear clearly. Let the representatives speak in turn."
This is good. Among those who have the same opinion, the person who can speak the most is selected. The representatives are quickly selected. There are about [-] people on both sides. Those who oppose are all male representatives, and those who support are mostly female representatives. The merciless scolding of the gentlemen, in fact, it's okay to hear too much, Tang Pin has long been used to it.
The old man changed his sitting position and yawned secretly. Tang Pin ate his snacks and drank a large cup of tea. The mother's quarrel was too exhausting and drooling, and the scolding continued until noon. It didn't stop, the school was very humane and asked everyone to take a break and have a meal before continuing the meeting.
☆、Competition to determine victory or defeat
Tens of thousands of people went to the small commercial street to eat, and Fugui Village made a fortune. The students had long been eating in the school. In order to be the representatives of the morning and afternoon, the students also worked very hard, not looking for Tang Pin , It is to find gentlemen and discuss various reasons for persuasion. The paper is full of things to say, and it is very serious.
People always have a high enthusiasm for these things. After eating, the people who came back started to quarrel again. The gentlemen started scolding regardless of their image, let alone the villagers, they scolded very happily, yes, It's just that I am very happy to scold. This kind of scolding in front of officials and scholars has never happened in thousands of years, so I must behave well.
The meeting in the afternoon was much more rational. Everyone was prepared at noon, and they also summed up the problem. After all the quarreling, there was a lot of discussion. Tang Pin was very happy to eat the fruit. Quarrels between tens of thousands of people are rare everywhere, okay?Besides, A Niu is not here, so he always wants to find some fun in life.
Tang Pin didn't say much. In fact, if you talk too much about this kind of problem, everyone can see the good and the bad more clearly. You are telling all the things from ancient times to the present, and then telling the current facts. Anyone with a discerning eye will know it at a glance. Good or bad, the gentlemen insisted from the beginning, and then there was no reason to speak.
The students also felt that women could not go to school at the beginning, but when they went home to eat, they were scolded by their mothers. Half of the income of the family came from their mothers. Things are faster, and calculations are more flexible than those used in school, which makes the students somewhat suppressed. Besides, this is a family. At night, when the family sits together to discuss life, the more women speak out. More and more, it's nice to get into everyone's minds.
Of course, this kind of discussion has no final result. Some thoughts cannot be changed in a short while. Tang Pin didn't want everyone to accept it at once, otherwise there would be no such meeting. When I entered the school, I just sorted the female students into a corner, and my aunt led the professor alone, while the other students went to class normally.
The pressure on my aunt suddenly increased. The official had neither support nor objection. .
Women in this era want to stand on a high ground, not lazy than men, but work harder. Female students are also much easier to teach than male students. Almost all of them are completely obedient. Auntie is still very good at writing. No, I will let A Cai teach. Whatever the gentlemen teach, my aunt will teach female students.
Gentlemen always dislike Tang Pin and Auntie. Seeing them walk away angrily, without even saying hello. This is the behavior in the school. After leaving the school, everyone is no longer a gentleman. All will still give a smile.
Some wealthy families inquired clearly about the school’s teaching of female students, and some very insightful families sent their daughters to school with tuition fees. The school has been in operation for almost three years, and the first batch of students who entered are now Fuguicheng The well-known scholars here are not because they have memorized many books, but because they are all first-class masters in arithmetic, they are also good at writing, and they have a wide understanding of things. Then there is the dull nerd who can do business, settle accounts, farm, and raise chickens.
This is the most ideal scholar for the peasant family, okay? Not everyone can succeed in the exam. Poor families simply cannot afford a scholar who can study for ten years and then take the exam for seven or eight years. Most people still stare at their own. Food and silver, not to get impractical things.
The word "practical" appeared in the school, and everything was for the purpose of practicality, not for fame. Tang Pin never asked to teach students for the purpose of test for fame, which made the gentlemen scolded again.
In fact, when Datang was still understanding things, many things that Tang Pin took for granted were inconceivable to them. This is a very serious problem. Tang Pin spent a lot of time proving the correctness of many things. There is no talent, or the emperor deliberately made it difficult, and issued a decree to let all the students who have completed three years of study go to the capital academy.
This made Fugui City lively again. The gentlemen sighed with sad faces, fearing that the students would frighten the people of the Imperial City when they arrived at the Academy in the capital. Instead of learning from ordinary reading, they learned a lot of miscellaneous Something, can this be a scholar?
The official's expression changed, and he always had the urge to slap the table for the emperor's imperial decree. If the emperor ordered to move the Fugui City to the imperial city, the official's expression would not change a bit, and he became numb when he was too frightened. Some people are happy and others are happy. Sorrow, joy is that my child can enter Huangcheng Academy, Huangcheng Academy only accepts about a hundred students a year, and they are all the most powerful students, most people can't get in.
And in Fugui City, a hundred or so students go there at once, which can greatly improve the reputation of Fugui City. Many family members, including children, feel that the ancestral grave is smoking, and some feel worried that their business depends on The children who go to school are doing accounts. If there are no children, the cash register at home will not collect it. This is a very serious problem.
Some parents have called the official early, hoping to send their children to the Imperial City Academy as soon as possible. Some parents have suggested that they do not want their children to enter the Imperial City Academy. There is a school at their doorstep. Why should the child go to the Imperial City? Teenagers, half-grown and young, don't worry, and the family's business is inseparable from children.
The official, one head and two elders, honestly reported all these problems to the imperial court. The emperor looked at the document with a bad expression, and slapped the table heavily and said: "How can we let girls go to school, return female teachers to professors, and ask questions?" Can women also come to study in the imperial city? I don’t think much of scholars.”
The Queen listened to it, smiled and said: "There are always novelty things happening in Fugui City, so don't be angry, Your Majesty, the writing is very good, and the girls are going to study for three years soon, and it's Tang Pin who will teach them personally, so it's not a bad idea." It will be worse than other students, and the emperor did not say that women will not come to the imperial city, so it is right to ask this question."
The emperor said: "The empress wants me to agree to let girls come to study in Huangcheng Academy? Not to mention that I don't agree, even the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty will not agree, and Huangcheng Academy will not accept girls."
The queen patted the emperor and said: "Your Majesty, don't forget that many businesses in Fugui City are now run by women. If women in Datang don't raise their status and stay at home, many businesses in Datang will be reduced, and business taxes will be reduced." It will also decrease. Nowadays, strong men are needed on the battlefield, strong men are needed in the fields, and strong men are needed to make iron. It can be said that the whole Tang Dynasty needs strong men, but there are too few strong men in the Tang Dynasty. There are countless casualties on the battlefield. I really can't find a manpower. If it wasn't for the fact that Fugui City started to use women first, Fugui City doesn't have such wealth now. No matter how good the man is, no matter how powerful the man is, he can't always take care of it. Women are also labor, and the emperor can't stay at home. Do you think it's a waste?"
The emperor sighed and said: "As far as the current Tang Dynasty is concerned, there are fewer mature men. As the queen said, let women raise their status and come out of the house, and the development of commerce will be fueled. The commercial tax will also increase. To be enriched, but for thousands of years, men were outside and women were at home. Now, letting women come out to earn money and learn to study, isn’t it just embarrassing men? What kind of face does a Tang man have?"
The queen shook her head and said, "Do you want to let the woman enter the imperial city?"
The master gritted his teeth and said: "The gentlemen who entered the school have to accept it before they can teach. Many of them lost to Mr. Tang Pin. They volunteered to teach for a year, which really polluted the scholars."
The court official was dumbfounded and didn't dare to ask any more questions. The gentleman shook his sleeves and spoke angrily to Mr. Tang Pin and Mr. A Niu. He didn't even look at him as an official. He was not too busy making connections, as if staying in this school was more important than going to the imperial city to become an official.
The third class is a biology class. Students are asked to learn how to farm, observe the growth of food, study the fruits of fruit trees, and also study animals. It includes a lot. In the eyes of court officials, this is free-range. Good book Instead of reading, I went to learn how to farm.
The gentleman seemed to be a highly educated scholar, and the court officials stepped forward and asked, "Why do you let the students come to farm?"
The gentleman said with a dark face: "Mr. Tang Pin suggested that scholars should sit in the school and attend classes. The villagers will plant the fields and arrange them. When the food is researched and the stomach is full, it can be regarded as useful for reading."
The court officials listened to the freshness, and said: "The usefulness of scholars? Isn't it for the country?"
The master said: "If you can only write a few words, memorize a few articles, and recite a few temple poems, what effect can it have on the country? Apart from reading and literacy, you must put what you have learned to use. If there are no literate people to grow food Records, you don’t know the growth requirements of the grain. In the past year, the school has recorded many kinds of grains, distinguishing the habits of the grains, and is sure of the environment and time required for the growth of the grains. Now the villagers follow this record Come and plant the land, and after a few years, there will be more results.”
Court officials were surprised: "Let scholars come to study grain? This has never happened before."
The gentleman said: "Yes, it was all brought up by Mr. Niu. Even if he defiled the scholars, he would show it off. With this kind of credit, it is not too ugly. At most, he would go out and say that he is a teacher who teaches biology."
The officials of the imperial court looked into the crops studied by the students, and even recorded the amount of water they poured. Several students surrounded the crops to observe. The officials didn't know each other. A villager passed by and pointed to one of the crops and said, "The number two plant is dying, please water it more."
The student raised his head and said, "This is a peanut. It's delicious when it grows on a drier sandy ground. The research on No. [-] is to see how dry it can be."
The court officials said goodbye to the students. It was noon, and the students all went to eat after school. Some ran to the village. The court officials walked forward to the busiest places. Floating over, the court officials bought several meals, and they all nodded their heads. Behind the small commercial street is a row of big houses. There are villagers walking in and out, and they pull out a lot of goods. The court officials want to take a look inside , was stopped at the door, many products are only produced in Fugui Village, and everyone is not taught, all commercial secrets, even officials can't see them.
The court officials went to the small commercial street and saw the students picking up a bowl of rice, so they began to help the merchants to count the goods and count the silver to keep accounts. The rectangular plate made a crackling noise, and the merchants and villagers all smiled and watched the students keep the accounts. After finishing the accounts, they put them all away, wrote their names on them, and said that they would collect business according to this record every month. tax.
Datang's business has always been ignored, it can be said that business is looked down upon by others, but here, there are still officers and soldiers guarding, collecting business tax from merchants, the government has to do something, they have to look after it, and goods are pulled If you don't go out, the officers and soldiers will come to help, and if the transaction is large, you can also invite officers and soldiers to testify.
☆、Can't support officials
Under the influence of silver, the business was approved by the government. When Tang Pin paid the commercial tax at the beginning, it was not simply to send silver to the emperor, but to seek protection and let the court strongly support the development of business. It was obviously very successful. The court initiated The business tax received a lot of money, which also improved the status of the merchant a lot.
Going to the villagers' homes in Fugui Village, the court officials saw that the villagers were eating. There were meat slices in the children's bowls, dried mutton hung in the kitchen, a dozen chickens were raised at the door of the house, and eggs were piled in the basket. The elderly eat stewed pork, and the middle-aged people carry big bowls of grilled rice, all of which are dry rice. Now that the autumn harvest has just passed, there is nothing to do to wait for the winter, but now it is different. The villagers still have a lot of things to do. Grains piled up at home will only get moldy, and only when they are made into commodities can they be exchanged for silver.
They are all dressed in woolen cloth, and no child walks barefoot. The court officials have gone to several houses, and they can eat meat and dry rice to eat all they want. Children can read a few articles from their mouths. If you are ten years late, you have to send them to school. Children in this village are free, but lunch is not included, and children in other villages are free of charge. Students in the city have to pay tuition fees to study, and those in the collar city are even more expensive. , have surpassed the schools in the capital.
The court officials looked up into the mountains, and saw a large area of tea trees and fruit trees, and countless chickens walking around in the mountains. It is said that the chickens are free-range and fed with food. They grow very quickly, and they are also an income of precious villages. , In the middle of Fugui Village, there is a large family with the largest courtyard in the village. It is said that it is the home of Mr. Tang Pin. The court officials did not go forward, and the emperor forbids anyone to enter, even the court officials.
A woman came out with a child in her arms, holding a basket with medicinal herbs in it. A woman in shabby clothes came and took the basket. She thanked the woman and turned to leave without seeing him. When the money arrived, the court official stepped forward and asked the woman who took the medicine, "What kind of medicine is this?"
The woman said: "The daughter of the village head's family specializes in treating women's illnesses. This is for medical treatment. My family is poor, so I can come to receive it for free. This is the third time. I don't charge a single coin. The autumn harvest has just ended. She doesn’t accept the food from the family, so I’m really sorry.”
The imperial court official asked, "Free medical treatment?"
The woman said: "Yes, sometimes I will go to ten miles and eight towns to deliver medicines. They are all good medicines. If you take them, you can cure the disease, which is amazing."
The court officials did not stay long, and walked leisurely up the avenue with their hands behind their backs. They had seen the wealth of Fugui Village, but they could not understand it at all, but it did not affect the mood of the court officials. People who have clothes, can read and write, walk well, have money in their pockets, and have medicine for sickness, the palace can't do this.
On the avenue, a businessman had too many products, and the three young men couldn't push them. A small pit cost them a lot of effort. Seeing the court officials with a few officers and soldiers, the businessman ran over and said: " My lord, can you help me? If you don’t get in this car, if you don’t leave, it will be too late to go back, and you can’t see the way.”
The court official was stunned, looking at the calm expression of the businessman, as if this matter was very common, just like asking the villagers for a favor, the court official nodded and asked the officers and soldiers to push the car up together, the businessman thanked, and the court official asked : "Do you usually call for help like this?"
Only then did the businessman look seriously at the court official and said, "Isn't your lord an official from the local area?"
The court official shook his head, and the businessman smiled embarrassedly: "I'm sorry, my lord, we are used to asking the official for help. Usually when we see the official on the road, we will call over to help. The official doesn't care. Sometimes the official also listens to us. The officers and soldiers will take the initiative to help us when they help to pull the goods, and I didn’t see clearly for a while, so please don’t mind.”
The court officials waved their hands to let the businessman go first. The businessman thanked again with a smile, and rushed to the city gate with the goods. The court officials brought the officers and soldiers back to the palace. To wait a while, the court officials asked where the honest and upright lord was, so they went over to have a look.
Just in the backyard of the official mansion, there is a large yard, thousands of female workers are busy, and the official is among them, discussing with them, looking at the newly pulled wool, and also looking at the woolen cloth. Seriously, the officers and soldiers will also help when moving the cloth.
The court officials stood at the door and watched for a while, but did not go in. This is not a place for him to enter. When he returned to the living room, the housekeeper served the dishes first, and asked the court officials to eat first. The dishes were different from the ones I ate yesterday, they were never eaten before, and they smelled delicious. After taking a bite, the court officials were in a very complicated mood. The officials are higher than the officials in the imperial court, and they are guarding in the rich city, but they have endless official duties. This year's hungry people have just left, and there is no poverty after the relief in the rich city.
The first 20 hungry people were rescued by Fugui City, which caused a great disturbance in the court. The boss of the official lord fled, and other officials resigned and went home, but the lord Guan persisted. This pressure, no Ordinary people can afford it. Now that they are eating good food and good food, they can’t be idle. The tasks that come down from the court can be important, and everything can make a group of officials lose their heads. There was no silver reward, and the court even reached out to the official for silver.
The court officials ate a few mouthfuls, no matter how delicious the food was, they couldn’t take it anymore. They went back to their room and wrote down everything they saw and heard today until late at night. The court officials didn’t stay long. Seeing the court officials pack their luggage and return to Beijing, the official was taken aback. Could it be that he encountered problems in Fugui City?
The court official shook his head and said: "Fugui City is not something that officials like me can understand. I am afraid that I will make mistakes if I read too much. As an official of Fugui City, my lord has to obey. Everything is beyond my cognition. Everything is wrong." It is even better than what the emperor said, there is no need for me to stay any longer, so I will go back to the palace and report to the emperor, the prosperity of the country and the people of the Tang Dynasty are just around the corner."
Sending off the court officials, the official still has a lot of things to do behind him, so I didn't take him seriously. Ah Niu's iron making was very successful, but I don't know what else Ah Niu is dissatisfied with. Up to now, he still said that he needs to study. The first batch of weapons was delivered, and the output was very high. They were first tested in the surrounding army. In order to keep secret, the weapons were delivered by officers and soldiers, sandwiched in food, and sent to the army together.
The amount of wool sent is increasing, the carpenters are making machines day and night, and there are not enough workers. Almost all the women in the collar city come here. As long as you have money, as long as you don’t commit a serious crime, you can go to work, but you don’t have freedom and you have to be guarded.
I don't know how many times the old man has asked someone to ask about the whereabouts of A Niu. The old man misses his grandson and wants A Niu to go home. Tang Pin is always listless now. He hopes that A Niu can finish it soon. When I asked the question, it made the official even more bitter. The papers went up to ask the emperor to send more officials, but the emperor only gave one sentence, that there was no money to support the officials, which made the official almost slap the table.
Tang Pin counted the days, Ah Niu had been away for three months, and he only came back three times, and they all left after staying for five days. Made into sauce, and fried dried chili, put a little in the meal, it can also appetize, and it will be warm in winter, but everyone has never eaten it, so my aunt endured tears and ate it. After eating it a few times, she called out Delicious, new varieties are always not accepted by everyone at the beginning, so Tang Pin plans to grow them himself to eat.
My aunt made a lot of snacks for the official to bring to A Niu, and Tang Pin also wrote a letter to A Niu. In the past three months, Tang Pin wrote down everything he had learned and read, hoping that A Niu could Come back as soon as possible, and at the same time, I am a little worried, afraid that the emperor will not let him go, and it will be over if he locks up A Niu.
In order not to worry Tang Pin too much, the official will sometimes reveal some of Ah Niu's situation. The imperial court is preparing to move the iron-making place to the imperial city after the Chinese New Year, and the imperial court will take care of it. Ah Niu will come back. It means that Ah Niu has to make good iron.
Tang Pin moved a chair and sat in the courtyard, eating grapes brought by others, drinking tea, staring at the blue sky and white clouds in a daze, two servants stood guarding at less than one meter away from Tang Pin, Tang Pin Sitting up and falling asleep, I saw A Niu in my dream, and A Niu led him to gallop on the prairie on horseback, just the two of them, running freely, Tang Pin didn't want to wake up, and felt that it was better in the dream than in reality.
When I woke up, I had tiger skins on my body. My aunt took it out from his room to cover it. I was afraid that Tang Pin would catch a cold and get sick, so my aunt sat beside me and embroidered. Tang Pin looked interesting, so I watched my aunt embroider for an hour , Aunt got up and went to the kitchen to cook.
Tang Pin said: "Isn't there a servant?"
"The servant's workmanship is not as good as my aunt's." My aunt said: "You are too thin, if you don't mend it, you will be afraid of freezing when it snows."
Tang Pin pulled his aunt to sit down and said: "Let the servants do some things. There are many things at home, but they are tiring enough. I can't do everything by myself. If there are not enough people, please hire more."
Auntie patted Tang Pin's back and said: "How can servants be more careful than Auntie? This kind of life is very good, and I don't feel tired at all. Auntie is in charge of this house, and all the money is in Auntie's hands. If there are not enough people, I will hire them. It’s just about life matters. Auntie doesn’t want to leave it all to the servants. You and A Niu call me Auntie, and A Cai and A Hua call you Niangqin. This is what a aunt and Niangqin should do, and Auntie is very happy. "
Tang Pin went on to say: "Four children and grandpa, plus me and A Niu, if my aunt comes here with her own hands, she won't be exhausted. A Cai and A Shu are both grown up. Take care of them and let them do it by themselves. I don’t even need to take care of my servants. Ah Hua is about to be sent to school, and I have to try to take care of myself in the future. Grandpa is in good health. He stays in the school all day long, just pay attention to his health. He A Niu can take care of himself, so my aunt can have more time to do what she likes, whether it is brewing wine or embroidery, or practicing medicine, but don’t spend all her time on us. Aunt is a capable woman. You shouldn't be stuck at home, now women are starting to go out of the house to earn money, women shouldn't just hide at home."
My aunt burst into tears, she took Tang Pin's hand and said, "Auntie knows that you love me, but my aunt really doesn't feel tired. All the women in the village envy my aunt. I have met quite a few people, and I only see a piece of the house, but there is no place where women hang around like this. My aunt is the No. My aunt treats people according to her heart."
Tang Pin smiled, smiling very happily. Unexpectedly, my aunt had already had an idea in her heart. The population of Datang is small, and they will not live long. If women are locked up again, they will only be trapped in one family. The development of Datang is very worrying. You, in the agricultural Tang Dynasty, the status of women was the highest in an era of thousands of people, but this was not enough.
☆, Mrs. please
Tang Pindao: "Auntie doesn't have to think that she is a woman and give up a lot of ideas. Ahua will follow Auntie in the future and become a female doctor who treats people. I don't worry about Ahua getting married in the future. Auntie can also teach Ahua as much as she wants. No matter when, women's diseases must be healed."
The aunt nodded and said: "Yes, no one has ever thought of letting a woman treat a woman's disease. Male doctors always don't like to treat women. They don't explain some things. Women are even more afraid of letting a male doctor see a doctor. After practicing medicine, my aunt discovered this problem, and many women died of illness at this point."
"Is my aunt interested in teaching more people to learn medical skills?" Tang Pin said: "The girls in the village are always opposed by the gentlemen when they go to school, and they are also sorted to one side when they are sent to school. Usually, they can memorize some articles and write a few big characters at most. , the gentlemen are not willing to teach female students, but female students also have the right to study. If my aunt is willing, I would like to ask my aunt to teach female students in the school, from literacy to medicine, and arithmetic. I can teach you, Auntie, what do you think?"
My aunt smiled and said, "Okay, my aunt has long wanted to teach female students, but she was afraid of being gossiped about. Ah Hua is going to go to school, but no gentlemen are willing to teach. My aunt can be considered to know some words. It’s okay to teach children, but when a better female teacher is hired, my aunt can go to the school to teach female students.”
Tang Pin stood up and said, "Thank you, aunt, then I will invite aunt to the school to teach tomorrow. There are now about [-] female students in the school, and none of them have learned to write. It may be difficult to teach. Auntie will do her best."
The aunt also stood up and said: "Ah Hua, let's take it to school tomorrow, and take the little guy too. By the way, I can let the female students know how to take care of their children."
After the agreement was made, Tang Pin went to the kitchen with his aunt to cook. Tang Pin made a lion head. There were more men in the family. Both A Cai and A Shu liked to eat meat. Settle the bill, I am very busy and tired all day long, I have to make up for it, Tang Pin soup, marinated pork head meat is the old man's favorite, add a little wine, the old man can sit and eat all night, and the servants will eat by themselves Yes, there are two kitchens at home, my aunt occupies one, and the other is managed by the servants.
After hearing Tang Pin's words, the old man looked at his aunt and said, "Go, the school is looking for a female teacher, and now all women come out to earn money, if you look down on women, how can you live a good life in the future."
Tang Pin was shocked by what he said. He looked at the old man in surprise. The old man just drank some wine, took a bite of the lion's head, squinted his eyes and hummed softly as if enjoying himself. The old man has been in the school for more than two years. Usually, after picking up the children, I would stand outside the classroom and listen to the gentlemen's lectures, listening to the children's innocence and asking questions, which is more or less useful. Old hands are hard, writing is too difficult, but the old man still likes to attend lectures, which gentleman teaches which class, which student learns the best, the old man knows all about it, and sometimes borrows some books to read, most of which are incomprehensible , but the old man likes this, and thinks that a person can be considered a learned person when he is old.
Without Principal Aniu, Tang Pin directly put his aunt into the school as a teacher. Because of this incident, the gentlemen objected collectively. The reason is very simple. From ancient times to the present, there has been no school that teaches female students. Yes, not to mention that no school has ever hired a female teacher. This is an insult to learning, a mockery of scholars, and a bad reputation for women. The gentlemen scolded Tang Pin and severely reprimanded him. Instead of compromising in a few words, he said very strongly that if the place officially accepts female gentlemen and invites female gentlemen to attend classes, the gentlemen will leave here.
This matter also attracted the attention of the official. After mediation, it was still not resolved. Tang Pin insisted on letting women go to school. The gentlemen were unwilling to teach, so they invited female gentlemen to teach, but the gentlemen insisted on not allowing women to enter. Learning has always been learned by men, and women should have children at home and take care of the family, instead of running to school like men.
The two sides did not compromise, the gentlemen went on strike, Tang Pin took his aunt to class to teach female students, the matter suddenly became very troublesome, many parents came to understand, and the official lord even said good things on both sides, for the sake of To prevent the students from missing their studies, the gentlemen called all the parents and asked the parents to bring back the female students, while opposing Tang Pin's approach.
After three days of class suspension, the official ran over early in the morning and sat on the top of the university hall, watching the parents arrive and the students gathered around the back, and many villagers came to see with concern. On one side, Tang Pin and his aunt were sitting on the other side. The gentlemen didn't give Tang Pin a good look, and they all didn't want to get close to Tang Pin.
The start of the meeting was also mentioned by Tang Pin. For the meeting, all relevant personnel are invited. Everyone doesn’t understand this, so they just follow suit, but it’s easy to understand. This issue is related to everyone’s power. The official patted the table with a headache and asked everyone to be quiet Come down, very good, very obedient.
The official said: "Since ancient times, there have been no schools to teach and accept female students, and female gentlemen have not been invited. Women are always at home, but now it is a little different. There are more commodities and more profitable businesses. I only invite woolen cloth." Thousands of female workers, I have to say, women have also started to come out to earn money, but this matter of knowledge cannot be talked about with money, so please come here today and express your opinions together.”
As soon as the words fell, the parents and the villagers started to discuss enthusiastically. Soon, two teams were formed. Those who agreed to stand on Tang Pin's side, and those who disagreed, stood on the gentlemen's side. Tang Pin turned his head to look , I was shocked, there must be tens of thousands of people, there are people from ten miles and eight villages, if everyone has work in their hands, maybe people from the whole city will come, some of them are here to watch the fun , Some came for their own children, and some came to express their own opinions.
The students in the school were all standing in the middle, afraid of which side they would be on. The official pointed at the students and asked, "Why are you standing in the middle?"
The student said: "We haven't listened to the clearing order yet, so we don't choose sides."
Master Guan widened his eyes and said, "What reason do you want to hear?"
The student said: "Mr. Tang Pin said that every new problem has its two sides. Sometimes it is right and sometimes it is wrong. You can't just listen to one side."
Master Guan waved his hand and said, "Just listen quietly, and wait until you understand, then choose a side to stand on."
The gentlemen were the first to attack, and their dissatisfaction with Tang Pin had accumulated in their chests for some time: "It's too casual, how can we add women to the place of learning."
"Study quietly and serve the country. With women around, how do you let students study quietly? This is not to destroy people's children."
Those who were against started to yell at Tang Pin for being reckless, which would damage the reputation of scholars, while those who supported this side also started to yell back, women can earn money, the two parties quarreled for an hour, and the official's head twitched A group of scholars and gentlemen, thousands of students, plus nearly tens of thousands of parents and villagers, a single word from each person will make people's brain hurt.
The old man stood on Tang Pin's side. The villagers in Fugui Village were very sensible and they all had their own ideas. They were divided into two, with half opposing and half supporting. Look at this side, then turn your head to look at which side, and quickly choose which side to stand on.
At first, Tang Pin thought that only a few people would support him. In everyone's thinking, only men can learn knowledge. Before this idea changed, they would not support Tang Pin. But Tang Pin was wrong. Some of them were I think what Tang Pin said is correct. Some women in the family earn more money than men, and they think women can also go to school. There are also some families that only have daughters and girls are not allowed to go to school. What hope is there for the family? The parents whose daughters are studying in the school are on Tang Pin's side. The gentlemen usually don't teach the female students very much and let them write and read by themselves. But after staying for a long time, they can see the students reading and writing every day. , I still learned a little more or less. In the eyes of parents, this is a great thing, and I can brag about it to others.
There are also a few girls who are outstanding and can help the family settle the accounts, but my aunt stood up boldly. Since my aunt is a doctor practicing medicine and surrounded by a group of women, in this case, my aunt even more There is a reason for women to go to school, and a group of women are all on the side of the aunt. In general, the number of people on the two sides is about the same, and there are reasons, but no one can persuade everyone.
Tens of thousands of mouths spoke together, and no one could hear anyone's voice. The official patted the table vigorously, which made everyone quiet, and took out the note written by Tang Pin early in the morning. It was really ugly, the official The master recognized it for a long time, finally understood, and said: "Both sides have elected representatives to speak. It is useless for you to argue like this. No one can hear clearly. Let the representatives speak in turn."
This is good. Among those who have the same opinion, the person who can speak the most is selected. The representatives are quickly selected. There are about [-] people on both sides. Those who oppose are all male representatives, and those who support are mostly female representatives. The merciless scolding of the gentlemen, in fact, it's okay to hear too much, Tang Pin has long been used to it.
The old man changed his sitting position and yawned secretly. Tang Pin ate his snacks and drank a large cup of tea. The mother's quarrel was too exhausting and drooling, and the scolding continued until noon. It didn't stop, the school was very humane and asked everyone to take a break and have a meal before continuing the meeting.
☆、Competition to determine victory or defeat
Tens of thousands of people went to the small commercial street to eat, and Fugui Village made a fortune. The students had long been eating in the school. In order to be the representatives of the morning and afternoon, the students also worked very hard, not looking for Tang Pin , It is to find gentlemen and discuss various reasons for persuasion. The paper is full of things to say, and it is very serious.
People always have a high enthusiasm for these things. After eating, the people who came back started to quarrel again. The gentlemen started scolding regardless of their image, let alone the villagers, they scolded very happily, yes, It's just that I am very happy to scold. This kind of scolding in front of officials and scholars has never happened in thousands of years, so I must behave well.
The meeting in the afternoon was much more rational. Everyone was prepared at noon, and they also summed up the problem. After all the quarreling, there was a lot of discussion. Tang Pin was very happy to eat the fruit. Quarrels between tens of thousands of people are rare everywhere, okay?Besides, A Niu is not here, so he always wants to find some fun in life.
Tang Pin didn't say much. In fact, if you talk too much about this kind of problem, everyone can see the good and the bad more clearly. You are telling all the things from ancient times to the present, and then telling the current facts. Anyone with a discerning eye will know it at a glance. Good or bad, the gentlemen insisted from the beginning, and then there was no reason to speak.
The students also felt that women could not go to school at the beginning, but when they went home to eat, they were scolded by their mothers. Half of the income of the family came from their mothers. Things are faster, and calculations are more flexible than those used in school, which makes the students somewhat suppressed. Besides, this is a family. At night, when the family sits together to discuss life, the more women speak out. More and more, it's nice to get into everyone's minds.
Of course, this kind of discussion has no final result. Some thoughts cannot be changed in a short while. Tang Pin didn't want everyone to accept it at once, otherwise there would be no such meeting. When I entered the school, I just sorted the female students into a corner, and my aunt led the professor alone, while the other students went to class normally.
The pressure on my aunt suddenly increased. The official had neither support nor objection. .
Women in this era want to stand on a high ground, not lazy than men, but work harder. Female students are also much easier to teach than male students. Almost all of them are completely obedient. Auntie is still very good at writing. No, I will let A Cai teach. Whatever the gentlemen teach, my aunt will teach female students.
Gentlemen always dislike Tang Pin and Auntie. Seeing them walk away angrily, without even saying hello. This is the behavior in the school. After leaving the school, everyone is no longer a gentleman. All will still give a smile.
Some wealthy families inquired clearly about the school’s teaching of female students, and some very insightful families sent their daughters to school with tuition fees. The school has been in operation for almost three years, and the first batch of students who entered are now Fuguicheng The well-known scholars here are not because they have memorized many books, but because they are all first-class masters in arithmetic, they are also good at writing, and they have a wide understanding of things. Then there is the dull nerd who can do business, settle accounts, farm, and raise chickens.
This is the most ideal scholar for the peasant family, okay? Not everyone can succeed in the exam. Poor families simply cannot afford a scholar who can study for ten years and then take the exam for seven or eight years. Most people still stare at their own. Food and silver, not to get impractical things.
The word "practical" appeared in the school, and everything was for the purpose of practicality, not for fame. Tang Pin never asked to teach students for the purpose of test for fame, which made the gentlemen scolded again.
In fact, when Datang was still understanding things, many things that Tang Pin took for granted were inconceivable to them. This is a very serious problem. Tang Pin spent a lot of time proving the correctness of many things. There is no talent, or the emperor deliberately made it difficult, and issued a decree to let all the students who have completed three years of study go to the capital academy.
This made Fugui City lively again. The gentlemen sighed with sad faces, fearing that the students would frighten the people of the Imperial City when they arrived at the Academy in the capital. Instead of learning from ordinary reading, they learned a lot of miscellaneous Something, can this be a scholar?
The official's expression changed, and he always had the urge to slap the table for the emperor's imperial decree. If the emperor ordered to move the Fugui City to the imperial city, the official's expression would not change a bit, and he became numb when he was too frightened. Some people are happy and others are happy. Sorrow, joy is that my child can enter Huangcheng Academy, Huangcheng Academy only accepts about a hundred students a year, and they are all the most powerful students, most people can't get in.
And in Fugui City, a hundred or so students go there at once, which can greatly improve the reputation of Fugui City. Many family members, including children, feel that the ancestral grave is smoking, and some feel worried that their business depends on The children who go to school are doing accounts. If there are no children, the cash register at home will not collect it. This is a very serious problem.
Some parents have called the official early, hoping to send their children to the Imperial City Academy as soon as possible. Some parents have suggested that they do not want their children to enter the Imperial City Academy. There is a school at their doorstep. Why should the child go to the Imperial City? Teenagers, half-grown and young, don't worry, and the family's business is inseparable from children.
The official, one head and two elders, honestly reported all these problems to the imperial court. The emperor looked at the document with a bad expression, and slapped the table heavily and said: "How can we let girls go to school, return female teachers to professors, and ask questions?" Can women also come to study in the imperial city? I don’t think much of scholars.”
The Queen listened to it, smiled and said: "There are always novelty things happening in Fugui City, so don't be angry, Your Majesty, the writing is very good, and the girls are going to study for three years soon, and it's Tang Pin who will teach them personally, so it's not a bad idea." It will be worse than other students, and the emperor did not say that women will not come to the imperial city, so it is right to ask this question."
The emperor said: "The empress wants me to agree to let girls come to study in Huangcheng Academy? Not to mention that I don't agree, even the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty will not agree, and Huangcheng Academy will not accept girls."
The queen patted the emperor and said: "Your Majesty, don't forget that many businesses in Fugui City are now run by women. If women in Datang don't raise their status and stay at home, many businesses in Datang will be reduced, and business taxes will be reduced." It will also decrease. Nowadays, strong men are needed on the battlefield, strong men are needed in the fields, and strong men are needed to make iron. It can be said that the whole Tang Dynasty needs strong men, but there are too few strong men in the Tang Dynasty. There are countless casualties on the battlefield. I really can't find a manpower. If it wasn't for the fact that Fugui City started to use women first, Fugui City doesn't have such wealth now. No matter how good the man is, no matter how powerful the man is, he can't always take care of it. Women are also labor, and the emperor can't stay at home. Do you think it's a waste?"
The emperor sighed and said: "As far as the current Tang Dynasty is concerned, there are fewer mature men. As the queen said, let women raise their status and come out of the house, and the development of commerce will be fueled. The commercial tax will also increase. To be enriched, but for thousands of years, men were outside and women were at home. Now, letting women come out to earn money and learn to study, isn’t it just embarrassing men? What kind of face does a Tang man have?"
The queen shook her head and said, "Do you want to let the woman enter the imperial city?"
