Yesterday, during the Mid-Autumn Festival, I received the mooncakes sent by genge02 and The Pig Playing with Fire. I will finally check them today. Haha, thank you. By the way, the mooncakes you sent me are much more delicious than the ones with five kernels. Thank you very much!
Maybe, after all, it¡¯s just maybe, but I don¡¯t really agree
So there were three types of people who didn¡¯t understand this matter from the beginning. The first was Zhao Zhen. What on earth is this brother of the Liang family going to do? Why are there so many ideas that everyone can¡¯t see them all at once? If all the river construction, construction, construction, and farming are brought to the Imperial College, wouldn't it be a hodgepodge? What exactly do students need to learn?
The second is the court officials, Liang Feng is crazy! Where is the Imperial College? How can a place where sages and sages are taught calligraphy be mixed with inferior skills? Should the tablets of Lu Ban and Li Bing be used to enjoy cold pork? Is that okay? The imperial court encourages reading, but it does not encourage reading all books. There are restrictions. Confucian classics and words of sages are required reading subjects. Even the hundreds of schools of thought, Lao Zhuang, Xun Mo, etc. are only required to serve Confucianism. Under the premise that understanding and research is centered around Confucianism, don¡¯t talk about things that can¡¯t be put on the table!
The third is the parents of the students. It is said that these parents have two identities. First, they are court officials, which determines their position. Second, they are parents. Which parent do you think would be relieved to let their children study in this kind of school? What if that naughty kid ignores serious work and instead learns how to build houses, build rivers, and dig mines instead of reading serious books? Wouldn't that cost people's lives? It¡¯s true that Guangzong Yaozu is gone and it¡¯s embarrassing
"Where is Peng'er?" Tan Renjing, the official of Kaifeng Prefecture, asked his wife as soon as he got home.
"I haven't come back yet. I said I have something to do at school."
"Huh, what can he do? When he comes back, call me immediately." After saying that, he changed his clothes and went to the study to stay.
When Tan Peng, who was sweating profusely, jumped back home, his mother grabbed him aside and whispered: "When I call you back, go and greet him. Did you commit anything today?"
Tan Peng shouted with an innocent look on his face: "How can there be? My son studies hard in the Imperial College every day, how can he commit any crime?"
"Shh, keep your voice down. If you don't, it's okay. Mom, it's very unkind to see your father acting like this. Just be careful and go quickly." After saying that, she pushed him towards the study with a worried look on her face.
Tan Peng sneaked into the study room secretly and saw his father Tan Renjing studying. He came up and said respectfully: "Father, my son wants to greet you." Tan Renjing put down the book and stared at him and said: "You just came back from school?"
"Yes, just came back"
"What lessons are you going to teach today?"
"This morning Fan Zhi talked about the "Book of Changes", and in the afternoon the Master of the Court talked about "Spring and Autumn" and "The Analects of Confucius""
"Did you say anything else?"
"No," Tan Peng didn't know what his father was going to ask and was very confused.
Tan Renjing was worried and didn't know how to express his words. He pondered for a long time before speaking again: "I heard that you are going to open some new subjects in your school?"
When this was mentioned, Tan Peng suddenly became excited: "Exactly, what my father didn't know is that Master Juyuan has already handed over all the memorials. From now on, he will not only read scriptures and history, but also study hundreds of schools of thought. At the same time, he must There are martial arts, law, arithmetic, and oh, I heard there is also engineering!" At this point, Xiao Tan almost started dancing.
"Asshole, we're starting a new school, what are you calling us? Why are you so happy?" Tan Renjing's face sank, and Tan Peng's mood was cut off. Tan Peng was puzzled. He was yelled at for no reason, and he muttered unconvincingly: "It's a good thing to start a new school. My classmates are talking about it. I hope I can learn more principles and skills in the future."
"What is the ability to teach? The books of saints are the ability to teach. Learning the classics well is your future. In the future imperial examinations, shouldn't you take the test of articles on the classics instead of the test of how to use a sword, make a staff, build walls and build roads?" Tan Renjing couldn't bear it. Stop cursing
"Father, not necessarily. Our Lord Judge has said that in a truly powerful and prosperous era, it will not just respect one kind of knowledge, and it will not just benefit a group of people. Instead, all kinds of knowledge will be prosperous, and all kinds of talents will be respected. , when everyone's value is reflected, then a hundred flowers will bloom, that will be a thousand colors, and that will be a great era!" Tan Peng couldn't help but use the words Liang Feng usually instilled in him to refute his father's words and treat them as When I heard Liang Feng's words in class, everyone was really full of excitement and excitement, especially Tan Peng. In fact, he is not very interested in reading and writing. It is only for people who are particularly interested in marching, fighting, and wielding swords and sticks. , it simply opened a wonderful window for myself and saw a strange style.
Tan Renjing¡¯s nose was so angry that he was crooked. Isn¡¯t this Liang Juyi¡¯s fallacy? If this continues, what do you want my son to do? He's not an enlightened person, come on.He was educated with a set of sticks and sticks and studied hard in poetry and books before passing the examination. Naturally, he would not think of having to patiently debate and reason with his son, and he would not even bother to do so. In a rage, he conveniently picked up the words on the desk. He stepped up on the ruler, grabbed Tan Peng and started beating him. He beat and cursed: "I call you a hundred flowers blooming, I call you a thousand purples and reds, I call you a great era!" When people were angry, they struck hard. Although Tan Peng had learned He is a master of gun and stick skills, but how can he dare to go against his own father? He had no choice but to protect his head and tail and let the violence take hold. After a while, his father beat him until his nose was bruised and his face was swollen. As expected, it had the effect of letting a hundred flowers bloom.
When Tan Renjing got tired from the beating, he threw the ruler to the ground, spat and gasped: "From today on, you are grounded at home and you are not allowed to go anywhere!"
"Why? I want to go to the Imperial College!" Although Tan Peng was beaten, he remained stubborn and said with a runny nose.
"You are not allowed to go to the Imperial College. You will go to the Imperial Academy in the future. It's not like you can't afford a husband at home. I am also a Jinshi. If you don't understand, won't you ask me about it? You are not allowed to go!" Tan Renjing's unknown anger started again. , couldn't help but kick his son on the butt, staggered backwards, and walked away angrily.
This situation happened not only to Tan Peng¡¯s family, but also to nearly forty or fifty families one after another. It directly led to a spring season, and the depressed scene actually appeared again in the Imperial College.
Fan Zhongyan sighed and said: "Yutian, you see, it's so difficult to do something. There used to be about sixty people in the Imperial College, but now there are less than twenty. If this continues, what should we do? No, I want to write to the court and explain the reasons. "As soon as he became angry as a scholar-bureaucrat, he would immediately write an article.
Liang Feng smiled and said: "Brother Xiwen, don't be too busy writing. I still have a lot to do. Aren't there still a dozen students coming as usual?" He was very optimistic.
Fan Zhongyan frowned: "If we don't stop this wind, I'm afraid even these dozen people won't be able to survive. Oh, when you mentioned it to Xiaguan, Xiaguan didn't turn around. He was quite conflicted. Fortunately, we Knowing very well, I slowly realized what you meant, especially me. It can be seen that other people are like this, so why not follow the previous story, how about you have another court hearing? I will support you!"
"Hey, it makes such a big fuss every time, what's the point? We ourselves are not annoyed, the officials and the princes are also annoyed by Brother Xiwen, we have to make up our own minds, or we have to overcome the difficulties by ourselves and always ask for help, every time If you count too many, there will be no friendship at all. It¡¯s really not worth it. I won¡¯t say more, just a dozen or so. Let¡¯s teach them hard for two days. I¡¯ll go visit Mr. Xiaoxian and tell him first. "
Liang Feng was about to end the conversation when he suddenly remembered something. He smiled at Fan Zhongyan and said, "Brother Xiwen, I'm not worried about the students of the Imperial College, but there is another thing that may have to happen to you."
"What's up?"
"I'm afraid that the few celebrities and experts you sent to invite are already on their way. If they hear that our Imperial College is going to open a new school, I don't think they will be willing to come and you will have to explain it. Haha."
Wang Zeng saw Liang Feng¡¯s invitation, frowned, and asked to come in
"I have met my husband, but I rarely come to greet you. Please forgive me."
"Haha, it's better if you come less often, so that others won't gossip. I just wanted to talk to you." Wang Zeng smiled and motioned for him to drink tea.
"Please make it public"
"I was just going to ask you, what's going on with this engineering study?"
"Oh, it's like this. The student thinks that everything is about to flourish in the Song Dynasty. Scholars, farmers, industry and commerce are booming. The people need to live, travel, have something to do, and have food to eat. These can be done not only by studying, but also by farming. The rise of solving engineering will definitely lead to the development of some new technologies, and new inventions will be of great help to our country!"
"Of course, the Ministry of Works and the generals and supervisors will do these things. Your Imperial College only teaches students to study and write, so why do you need to do it multiple times?" Wang Zeng didn't take it seriously either.
"But last time the students built a Taoist temple for the eldest princess, they built a soundproof wall. The students were very curious, and they drew parallels and were very interested in this knowledge. The students thought, this is a good thing anyway, why not follow the trend and open a class?" What about engineering? Everyone has different personalities and interests. If everyone studies, they may not all be successful. It is better to let them choose a subject they like to study in depth. There is no way of knowing whether they will develop."
"Yutian, this is your opinion, but you are too naive. The officials sent their children to you because they wanted to use your Imperial College as a brand, and you have such good conditions. In the future, it will be easier than others to become an official. It's easier for you, but it's better for you. It's all-encompassing, how can people rest assured? Haha, I heard that you only have a dozen students left now, you know how powerful you are, right?"
"I know, that's why I came to ask my husband for help," Liang Feng said with a smile.
"Well, I can't help you with anything. To be honest, I am opposed to what you are doing. The officials are also hesitant, so I am going to??If it hasn¡¯t been approved yet, you might as well change your mind! "Wang Zeng tried to persuade him, saying that Wang Zeng was really worried about him. He was afraid that he would go crazy and make the Imperial College a different place and have a bad reputation. I'm afraid it would be difficult for him to do anything in the future.
How could Liang Feng not understand Wang Zeng¡¯s painstaking efforts? When he heard that the officials were also hesitating, he knew that his inference was good. Fortunately, he did not go directly to the palace to ask for help (To be continued)
