dressed as a scholar

These days, Fang Yu can be said to be relaxed in the academy. After Dean Wang came back, Chen Guangyin didn't dare to come in front of them to dislike others, so he could devote himself to giving lectures.

Last time, Qiu Qingfeng and Fang Yu were quite satisfied with the performance of the students in this classroom, but the way everyone participated in giving in the assembly also reflected many problems. In order to further encourage everyone, he went to find some rice. .

According to legend, during the palace examination of a certain dynasty, an emperor once used three boxes of rice from different origins and different qualities to test candidates. It was the first time I encountered such an exam, and I didn't know how to answer the questions for a while.

Candidates can only tell whether the rice is good or bad when they look at the rice. The rice is full, the rice is empty, and the rice is moldy.

The emperor saw that the so-called talents who had been selected from all levels could only make beautiful pillows for beautiful articles. After inspection, he found that these candidates would cite scriptures and classics, but they didn't know the people's livelihood. Longyan was furious and temporarily closed the scientific examination, and changed For recommendation system.

Taking history as a guide, Fang Yu also brought some students from Daogu's exam room to see if this group of Huahua Taisui understand the people's livelihood and customs.

The students in the classroom saw the two baskets of rice on the podium table, and all of them gathered around to watch before ringing the bell, not knowing what kind of weird exam questions the master was about to ask, first let everyone participate in the assembly competition, Yue came up with a ghost idea, how to eat and drink Lazarus for ten days without asking the family for money, and the person with the most money left after ten days won.

Everyone finds it fresh and interesting, and cut down their clothes and diet for a while, but they are born from rich and noble families and are frugal, and they still spend fifteen cents for a breakfast meal. Some people persisted for one day, some persisted for two days, and there was only one The ruthless man ate steamed buns for four days in a row, and no one persisted after that.

Naturally, this class was not completed satisfactorily, and was scolded bloody by Fang Yu.

But from this, I understand a few truths. One is that wealth is hard to come by. If they do not have the support of their parents at home, they will not survive for a few days; You have to make money to live your life.

After learning the truth, Fang Yu immediately gave everyone fifty coins to try to make money without relying on family connections. After ten days, whoever has the most money will win.

The students were not reconciled, and started to recruit children again. This time Fang Yu contacted the parents of the students, and it was true that they had cut off their food and only had [-] Wen left.

In this way, these students really set their minds to try to make money. Some people copy books after class, but because they have a bad reputation for playing fun before, and they don’t have any fame themselves, so they can be regarded as able to read and write. The number of students who copy books for others is half that of the average student, making ends meet.

There are also people who bought melons and fruits to set up stalls without losing their face, but because they couldn't bear the face and couldn't sell the things, they lost all their losses.

In short, there are various methods and methods, and finally the whole army is wiped out...

Fang Yu went with the flow and lost his temper as a matter of course, once again scolding everyone bloody, and then asked everyone to write down their experiences and reflect on the reasons for their failure.The experience handed in did not falsify, all of them were sincere and summed up the reasons for the failure.

Fang Yu is satisfied with such keywords as thin-skinned, no money-making experience, fame, and no understanding of the market.

Another sub-lesson was not in vain.

The students saw that there was something new and new, and they were somewhat looking forward to it, but also complained in their hearts, for fear that Fang Yu would come up with some bad idea again.

Seeing that the teacher came into the classroom slowly after ringing the bell, everyone hurried back to their seats.

"I must have come to look at these two baskets of rice just now."

Fang Yu said unhurriedly: "This is the topic today, everyone talks about what they see and think. Is there anything you want to say?"

Sun Yuan said: "A basket of good grains, a basket of bad grains."

These days, Fang Yu has been put in a lot of trouble. After two months of fighting wits and courage with his young wife, Sun Yuan also became alert. He failed to complete the two big classes a few days ago. Today Isn't the master's question just about his advantage: "Looking at the appearance of the rice, as far as the students know, the two baskets of rice are of the same variety, both of which are the best pearl valleys in Yuncheng. The characteristics of this valley are The grains are round and large, the husks are light and easy to remove, and the cooked rice is sweet and delicious."

"Most of the rice fields in the students' homes are planted with this kind of rice, and the harvest has been quite good this year."

Fang Yu didn't comment: "Is there anyone else to say?"

"Pearl Valley is of good quality and looks good, and it is quite popular in the city. The price is [-] cents a catty."

"Hey, I don't know about other things, but this kind of rice is what the students eat at home. Compared with the other rice, pearl rice is bigger and more filling."

The rest of the students couldn't answer much, and they naturally didn't pay much attention to a bowl of mediocre rice on weekdays.

The answer given by the student was within Fang Yu's expectations: "Then do you know why one basket is good and the other is bad? I forgot what I taught you these days? The answer is too one-sided."

"It must be the bad weather. In case of a disaster, the rice in the same field can be good or bad."

"But they are all in Yuncheng, and the weather is not too different."

The students talked a lot: "I also ask the master to answer."

"Sun Yuan is right. These two baskets of rice are indeed of the same variety, that is, Pearl Valley. In the past, most of the Pearl Valley came from the Sun family's Pingling Village. In the past two years, some wealthy people saw that the price of Pearl Valley rice was high. The income from the output is also large, so I made up my mind to spend a lot of money to buy pearl valley seeds for sowing.”

"Because of cherishing the expensive grain seeds, intensive cultivation in spring will help the grains to be filled with fertile things, but things are extremely reversed. The soil is too fertile and the rice is often empty."

Fang Yu slammed the ruler: "This matter is not a secret. You can hear about it if you inquire a little, or even without inquiring. Why? It shows that none of you care about farming and farming. You talk about your ambitions, you want to get fame and become an official, and you talk loudly, but is there a person who really puts his heart into caring about the people's livelihood?"

"If you are really able to be officials in the future, you will be busy doing things for the people. You call your parents officials, Lord Qingtian, are you flattering? Wrong! That's because being an official is what the people think about and think about." Concern, this can be exchanged for a parental official! Today you close your eyes and listen to the matter of Minsang and you still don’t understand it. I really teach you to write beautiful articles and enter the official career. When you become an official in the future, you will have a way to solve the people’s farming and sang. difficulty?"

Everyone lowered their heads and were embarrassed to speak.

Fang Yu continued: "Don't think that I don't know what you are thinking. The family is rich and not in the countryside. It is common sense that I don't know the facts about farming and mulberry. But you are the only ones who don't know about farming and mulberry. These children from rich families, even many scholars who were born in rural households, don’t care about farming at home, and just concentrate on studying during the day.”

"I'm not saying these things to you to make you feel complacent that everyone is the same, nor to reprimand that it's wrong to study hard. I want to tell you that if you can thoroughly understand Minsheng Minsang under the pressure of reading only sage books, Wouldn't it be of great benefit, ahead of many candidates!"

Everyone's heart was moved by Fang Yu's words: "The master taught me the lesson."

"The reasoning is always just empty talk. You listen to it today and forget it tomorrow. I also came here as a student. I don't know what's in your mind."

"After the holiday at the end of the year, go back and have a good year. In the spring of next year, all the people in the classroom will be together. Although I will go to the countryside to experience farming, I should let you get down to earth, otherwise you will be weak in the bones after staying in Fuwo for a long time. .”

As soon as the words fell, the students unanimously spoke out in surprise.

"Where can I experience this? Could it be going to my own field?"

Fang Yu picked up the teacup and blew the tea foam, took a sip slowly, and then snorted coldly: "Let you go back to your own land, that's not just a loophole for you. Don't worry, the master also has land at home. There will be a space for you to experience, and there is Zhuangzi in the countryside, and you will live and eat in Zhuangzi at that time, and it will not be short of you."

Everyone was bitter, but they didn't dare to resist and refute.

"Master is very considerate."

"Let's end today's class here."

Fang Yu stood up holding the teacup, then turned to Sun Yuan and said, "Take back those two baskets of rice. My family is a big farmer. When you ask about farming and mulberry, you don't know anything. You are the most disappointing to me." Yes, go back and reflect on yourself."

Sun Yuan picked up the two baskets of rice, bitter in his mouth: "Yes."

There are still a few days before the academy will be on vacation. There is no preparation for the quiz this year, and the students and the teacher are very relaxed. Fang Yu arranged another big class, and he will be very relaxed for the rest of the day, letting the students in the classroom Writing poems and scriptures can go on vacation.

The students have also gotten used to his teaching mode which is different from other masters. First, he gives a topic, everyone practices it, and the master guides everyone to complete it.

Although Fang Fangyu’s class often has to put down his face to do some things, and it seems unreliable to see that it has nothing to do with reading, but they can talk endlessly when they finish writing their thoughts and feelings after a whole process of big homework I wrote down a lot of sentiments, which are definitely feelings that the previous masters did not have.

For this reason, although a group of students who often change their teachers are often dissatisfied with the topics assigned by Fang Yu, no one has ever clamored to change their teachers to other classrooms in private, even if Fang Yu proposed to send everyone to the countryside. To experience farming and mulberry, there is still some faint anticipation after the wailing on the lips. It is an unprecedented experience to be able to farm in the countryside with all the classmates and even the master.

Fang Yu finished class early today, came back to the master's room to pack up his things, then sneaked away through the back door and left early.

Recently, he found that Qiao Hezhi especially liked to take care of the affairs of the book and tea room, so he went over to take a look at the current time, maybe he could go home with him.

Go out from the back door of Hande College and walk through a small street, turn the corner on the main street, and you will arrive at the Book and Tea Room.

Just now at the intersection of the street, he saw the family's carriage, and as expected, Xiao Qiao was right there.

He walked over with joy in his heart, and his eyes jumped when he reached the street corner.

Standing in front of the counter in the lobby on the first floor was a white-faced man in his twenties, with a tall and straight figure. This time, Qiao Hezhi, who was opposite him, was talking about something. He could only see the stars shining in his eyes, and the smile on his face could not be concealed. , It was a pleasure to talk.

He strolled over and wanted to see who it was, but his eyes widened when he reached the door of the shop, but the two of them went upstairs together after talking.

"Master is here!"

Fang Yu glanced at the shopkeeper at the other end, leaned over to the counter and asked, "Who is that person who was talking to the little boss just now? It seems that he has never seen him before, and he came to contribute?"

The shopkeeper said: "The business of the bookstore is booming. A few days ago, some manuscript managers thought that they could hire another manuscript reader so that they could be busy. The one just now is the new Mr. Wu. Master doesn't know about this?"

In this way, Fang Yu has some impressions. Earlier, Shuchazhai did say that he would hire one more manuscript reader. Qiao Hezhi pointed it out to him. He handed over the matter to Qiao Hezhi to take care of it, and then put the matter behind him.

"I know about this, but I haven't seen this person yet, did he just come here today? Did Xiao Dong's nod?"

The shopkeeper said again: "It's been a while since I've been here, and it's been ten days since I should have said nothing. The young owner said that Mr. Wu is very familiar with the style of the manuscripts in the bookstore, and the drama publications selected for the shelves are selling very well."

Fang Yu smacked, this young man is quite good at choosing people, looking for a young and good-looking one, no wonder he is so keen to come here.He murmured: "It's only been a few days since I have such great supernatural powers, and I have only selected a few articles, so they can be printed and sold?"

"This, this villain doesn't know."

As soon as the words fell, I heard a voice from the side: "Why are you here?"

Fang Yu raised his head and looked at Qiao Hezhi who was going downstairs, with a smile on his face: "Come here to see if you are here, let's go back together along the way."

"Let's go then, I'm really hungry." Qiao Hezhi ran over joyfully, the smile on his face remained unchanged when he was talking with people just now: "Let's go to the restaurant at the west entrance of the city and have a bowl of mutton soup."

"What's so happy today?" Fang Yu turned his head and glanced at the smiling person in front of him: "It's rare for you to ask to eat out these days."

Qiao Hezhi only smiled, and grabbed Fang Yu's hand and went straight to the carriage outside: "Hurry up, there's no room for it to be late."

The two ate enough soup and rice together and returned to the house. It was already dark. Fang Yu also likes to take a hot bath in winter to help him fall asleep. Otherwise, the winter nights would be extraordinarily long, and he would toss and turn on the bed unable to fall asleep.

When he came out of the clean room, he saw that the charcoal had been burned in the room, but Qiao Hezhi was nowhere to be seen.

Before he could open his mouth, Xue Zhu came in with soothing soup and said: "My husband told me that he is resting in Xiaotongyuan today."

"Why does the charcoal at the other end need to be warmer?" Fang Yu said dissatisfiedly, and then said: "You put out the charcoal at this end, I'll go over..."

"The husband said that the lord is resting here, so there is no trouble."

Fang Yu paused, and laughed angrily: "It's fine if I don't come here, and I'm not allowed to go there, because he thinks I'm in the way or he wants to go to heaven."

He paced around the room, finally lifted the quilt and got into bed: "If you don't go, you won't go."
