    The county faces the imperial capital Nanjing across the river. It is about a hundred miles away from Nanjing and can be reached by horseback in half a day.  Except for the alluvial plains in the lower reaches of the Chu River and along the Yangtze River, the county is mostly composed of basalt square hills and loess hills.  If you take the land route from Nanjing to Huai'an, Qingjiangpu, Haizhou, Sizhou and other places, you have to pass through it. Therefore, the commerce is also quite developed, and there are bustling cars and horses every day.  As the rainy season approaches, the sky is often filled with drizzle.  Zhang Zhinian was over fifty, his beard and hair were slightly gray. He was wearing a bamboo hat and a raincoat, with a fishing basket tied around his waist and a fishing rod in his hand. He braved the drizzle and came to Longchi in the southern suburbs of the county.  The crucian carp produced in Longchi in the southern suburbs has tender meat and is very delicious. It is famous far and wide, but the price is 30% higher than that of crucian carp from other places.  Zhang Zhi rolled up his sleeves and trousers. Because the pond was muddy, he even took off the worn-out "thousand-layer bottoms" on his feet and pinned them around his waist. No matter how you looked at him, he looked like a country man.  However, most of the farmers nearby knew him. When they saw him, they would always stop, step to the side of the road, bow respectfully, and call out: "Zhang Xundao." In the Ming Dynasty, each county had a "County Confucianism", which was  The highest educational institution in a county, the county school usually has one instructor and several preceptors.  Most of the edicts at the government level were Jinshi and were appointed directly by the imperial court.  The instructions, instructions, and instructions from the government schools and the county schools were mostly appointed by local officials who were not eligible for the Jinban or Gongsheng. ? Among them, the entrustment is to hire teachers, similar to the substitute teachers in later generations.  No matter it is a teaching.  The instructions and entrustments have nothing to do with local administration or litigation, and there is no oil or water to get involved in. "Being humble and frugal. Officials are humble and self-respecting" is their truest portrayal.  Their salaries are extremely meager, and as literati who have no power to restrain themselves, they deal with the Four Books and Five Classics every day, and they cannot let go of the airs of scholars. Most of them are not good at business; relying on their meager salaries, they can barely support themselves.  Therefore, he often had to leave his wife and children to take up his post alone.  He has lived a life of "separated wives and children" for a long time.  Even the parents in the hall are unable to support him.  Zhang Zhi took the fishing rod and came to the edge of the dragon pond.  I took out earthworms as bait, set the hook, and looked at a pool of misty rain and green spring scenery.  He tightened his coir raincoat tightly and chanted slowly: "Egrets fly in front of Xisai Mountain, peach blossoms flow and mandarin fish are fat. Green bamboo hats, green coir raincoats, no need to return in the slanting wind and drizzle." In fact, he is far from what is described in the poem.  Comfortable, his first wife stayed in his hometown to support his mother, who was over seventy years old. It turned out that his wife could barely maintain the family's livelihood by weaving, but six months ago, his wife fell ill due to overwork and has not recovered yet.  Zhang Zhi went to his colleagues one by one to borrow money.  But his colleagues received the same meager salary as him, and every family had difficult problems to learn, so how could they lend him money.  Zhang Zhi had no way to seek help.  Feeling hopeless and helpless, I was about to resign from my position as a tutor and go home to think of a solution.  In the end, a student from a relatively well-off family went back and begged his parents to support Zhang Zhi, and he was able to survive.  ¡° Nowadays, fishing in Longchi is not for recreation, but to supplement family income.  Zhang Zhi pretended to finish reciting the poem in a relaxed manner.  Only then did I notice that there were a lot more people fishing at Longchi today.  It was drizzling, and everyone was wearing hats.  Wearing a raincoat, it was impossible to tell who they were.  Zhang Zhi couldn't help but sigh in his heart, because the number of fish in the pond is always limited, and there are more people fishing here, so it is inevitable that there will be more fishermen. Next, Zhang Zhi found that the location he was in today probably had bad feng shui, and there were no fish for a long time after setting the hook.  He took the bait, and through the confused mist, he found that others were catching fish from time to time. He was so anxious that he picked up his own fishhook from time to time. The earthworms were still there, but why were there no fish to eat the bait?  He looked around, picked up the fishing rod, took the empty fish basket and moved it to another place, but still didn't catch any fish.  He wanted to be shameless and get under the ancient willow tree in the south, because he noticed that the man under the ancient willow caught the most fish, so this place should be the best.  It¡¯s just that the place where Guliu is located is narrow, and except for one area where the water surface is relatively clean, there are many aquatic plants growing there, making it unsuitable for fishing, so Zhang Zhi had to give up.  It was not until dusk was approaching that he caught two crucian carps. Thinking of the desolate situation at home, Zhang Zhi picked up the fish basket and stroked his beard that was wet by the rain. He couldn't help but sigh: "Jiang Han misses his returning guests, and the world is full of rotten scholars."  The clouds and the sky are far away together, and the moon is alone in the eternal night." "My heart is still strong when the sun sets, and the autumn wind is like a disease. There is no need to take a long way to save the old horse." "Li Yu, why is it you?" "Teacher, not only me, but also other classmates.  Here, my teacher, please accept my greetings." Who is the person standing up from the ancient willow, not his student Li Yu?  Zhang Zhi saw that he ignored the moisture on the ground and knelt down to worship him.  Those who were fishing by the Dragon Pond wearing bamboo hats and coir raincoats also stood up and bowed to him, then took their fishing baskets.?, poured the fish into his fish basket. "What are you doing?" Li Yu said: "Once a teacher, always a father. The teacher's family has difficulties, and the students and others are unable to help, and they feel guilty. These fish  , I am the only one who can repay my teacher, please come down, my teacher!¡± ¡°Please come down, my teacher!¡± ¡°¡± Zhang Zhina looked at the familiar faces.  His gray beard was trembling slightly, and he couldn't say a word. The drizzle at dusk made his eyes wet.  Zhang Zhi, surrounded by Li Yu and other students, braved the drizzle and walked in the mud, one foot high and one foot low, back to the county school.  From a distance, I could see some people surrounding the county school. Wang Baizhen, the instructor of the county school, was holding something in his hand and looked very excited. The other two instructors, Kang Zhuang and Wei Cheng, were kneeling on the muddy ground, crying and laughing.  Looks like crazy.  Zhang Zhi and a group of students were shocked and ran over quickly.  "Wang Jiaoyu, what happened? What are you doing?" "Zhang Xundao, just come back, just come back, come and take a look, our emperor is sage! The emperor is sage!" Zhang Zhi took the official document from Wang Baizhen's hand and looked at it carefully  It seems that, strictly speaking, this is an edict issued by the imperial court. The edict begins with the words "Lord of Heaven and Earth, Lord and Master" to point out the teacher's lofty status, details the teacher's contributions and hardships, and finally Zhang Zhi  His eyes were fixed on the words "Two stones for extra salary". The fish basket in his hand fell to the ground with a bang, and a basket of crucian carp jumped on the muddy ground.  "Is this true? Is this true?" Zhang Zhi murmured as if in a dream.  Wang Baizhen replied excitedly: "It is true, of course it is true. This is the will of the Holy One, the will of the Holy One." Although the teaching is an official, it has not entered the mainstream. Before, the monthly salary was only two shi meters, and sometimes the salary was 30 meters.  I haven't been able to get the full amount yet, and my life has been miserable. All year round, I can't even afford new clothes, and I can't even eat meat a few times.  Now the salary has suddenly doubled to four stones per month, which is almost as good as the county magistrate in the Ming Dynasty. Looking at the past dynasties, this has never happened before.  "A monthly salary of four stones, a monthly salary of four stones" Zhang Zhi repeated repeatedly. Like the other two instructors, he felt the emperor's grace and couldn't help but burst into tears. He knelt down in front of Jing and kowtowed three times and shouted long live!  After the people in Zhou Guan figured out the truth of the matter, they talked a lot, and most of them praised the emperor's act of benevolence for increasing the salary of academic officials.  The academic officials who teach and teach have always been respected by ordinary people. They spread knowledge and hope, but their salaries are very meager and their lives are very hard, which is in sharp contrast to their status. These ordinary people are  It¡¯s in their eyes; So now that the emperor has increased the salary for academic officials, most people think it¡¯s appropriate.  ??This time, all the academic officials in Da Qin will receive a salary increase. The entire Da Qin will set off a wave of respecting teachers and valuing education.  It is not difficult to imagine that touching scenes like this will appear in hundreds of states and counties, and tens of thousands of teachers will benefit from this and become grateful to the emperor.  Next, when the court wants to conduct training and assessment for all teachers, the resistance will be minimized, and Qin Mu will also have universal support for promoting the integration of mathematics and science teaching.  "The imperial court only invested three hundred thousand dragon coins in education every year.  ps: Thanks to book friends such as Ba Bajiejie, Entering the Bamboo, Desert Bookworm, Little Tiger in the Demon World, Wu Gou Shuang Yuehan, Foreverking, Dragon Boy, Niu Huitou, Mo Tianzhai, Yang Zixun Ge and other book friends for their monthly passes or  I would like to express my sincere gratitude to every friend who has given me support.  (To be continued)
