Be a master through ancient times

"...When I went yesterday, I paid two taels of silver to join the society. After they collected the money, they grabbed me and asked me several questions. At that time, I thought, oh, it's not bad, the rules are quite strict, I guess the atmosphere inside is also very good. Even if there are no talented scholars like you, Brother Chu, it shouldn’t be much worse, right?” Zhang Wenhai finally regained some energy after a night’s sleep, and at the moment he is explaining to everyone what he said yesterday. wonderful experience.

"As soon as I entered, oh, there was a scholar with an upturned nostril glaring at me. Immediately, I was stunned. It seemed that I didn't know him. How could there be a festival? There was a misunderstanding, so I was very angry. I greeted him, and then asked him, Brother, did I offend you? The man snorted, then squinted at me, and said what, their Taoyuan Academy is a clean place to discuss articles, Not all cats and dogs can go in." Zhang Wenhai held his head high, imitating the scholar's expression with a special charm, which made everyone present laugh.

Zhang Wenhai looked even more excited.

"I was not happy when I heard this. Isn't this obviously mocking me? So I said, who are you talking about? The man said, talking about you! I just laughed. You are a cat and a dog. I didn't expect this Taoyuan The academy can accept even non-human things. The man was so angry with me, he just pointed at me tremblingly, unable to say a word. Hahahaha..." He smiled wantonly, not at all afraid of being criticized by others. Seeing such a wild look.If it were him before, if someone said that, he would probably be so angry.But he has followed Brother Chu for many days, and he has already understood the truth that it is better to make others angry than to be angry himself.

"Brother Zhang, what next?" Chang Xiao was in high spirits, and Fu Mingan looked at him with wide, curious eyes. These two children were in their second year of middle school, and they liked this kind of slap in the face very much.

"Then someone came to talk me out of the fight, saying don't make a fuss when we meet for the first time. I thought it was the same reason. My father taught me to be forgiving and forgiving, so I didn't bother with him. But that person is very petty, and he is about to walk out as soon as he flicks his sleeves. I kindly asked him to discuss knowledge with him, but he got angrier and walked faster!" Zhang Wenhai looked puzzled, he really didn't understand Why is this person so small-bellied.

Chu Ci glanced at him, thinking that Wen Hai had learned to pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger.

Zhang Wenhai continued: "As soon as he left, the person who led me into the club came over. He said that he had already talked to the president, and now the president wanted to see me. The president was in the pavilion. I just saw him , I thought someone called my father here, and I looked old. The person who led me into the club said that this was President Liu. I thought this club was full of young people, but I didn't expect there to be such an old man. , but I quickly remembered what Brother Chu said, learn to be old and live to be old. After I figured it out, I greeted President Liu. The rules for joining the club, how much is the monthly membership fee, and how much is the membership fee for each club opening.”

Chu Ci was also a little surprised, he didn't expect the head of a company to be so down-to-earth, talking about money.

"After chatting for a long time, everyone finally arrived. Then they said that they would write a poem first, and they also said that it was summer at this time, so they wrote a poem with the title of "summer". After he finished speaking, the others thought hard Gone, but I stayed where I was. Do you know why I don't think about it?"

Zhang Hu had a flash of inspiration and said, "Young Master Zhang, it's because you've made up your mind, right?"

Zhang Wenhai chuckled: "I didn't think about it at the time, but I just found it strange. You said that he has no restrictions on rhythm, rhyme, and time. When the competition will be held, how will it be counted? I thought about it." After a while, seeing other people's usual appearance, I also felt that they probably didn't stick to trifles. Then I also thought of a song."

Chu Ci originally recognized Zhang Wenhai's level of poetry writing, but after recalling the few poems he saw yesterday, his face immediately turned ugly, and his level dropped a bit fast!

"The few poems you brought back yesterday, and your poems in it?"

Zhang Wenhai hurriedly waved his hands: "No. All the poems I got back were good poems that were judged on the field. They didn't like the poems I wrote, saying that the writing didn't make sense." After he finished speaking, he laughed again .

Fu Mingan didn't understand what he was laughing at, and after hearing what he said, he became very angry: "How can they be so rude? Even if the writing is really bad, they shouldn't speak up. And I have read the poems written by Brother Zhang, It's better than Mr.

After he finished speaking, he immediately covered his mouth with his hands, and looked at Chu Ci timidly with wet eyes.Chu Ci patted his head, and said: "There is no gold, no one is perfect, your husband, I am not very talented in poetry, and Wen Hai's writing is indeed better than mine. I am not afraid of others saying, Because that's what it is."

Fu Mingan felt relieved, and secretly made up his mind that he would also be an upright person like his husband in the future.

After being praised by two people for a while, Zhang Wenhai was overjoyed, and the anger of being called bullshit disappeared.

"It wasn't until noon that day that President Liu asked me to wait and write down the poems I thought of. Some people said that I hadn't thought of them yet. I was shocked at the time. I couldn't think of a poem for two or three hours. How did he pass the county test? I found out later that he never passed the county test..." Zhang Wenhai curled his lips. He thought that the academy was full of well-educated people. Except for a scholar, the rest are all children, or those who like to pretend to understand.

This point was particularly reflected in the afternoon talk.One by one talked high-spirited, as if all major events in the world were under their control, but Zhang Wenhai found that their knowledge was extremely shallow, not to mention compared with ordinary students, even compared with the Ming An boy who had not yet entered the exam, they were much worse .He was tortured all afternoon without saying a word.The most hateful thing was that before he left, he heard President Liu say to the person who brought him in that this newcomer was useless except for some money.He was so tired that he didn't even bother to argue, he just wanted to go home early and sleep.

After hearing Zhang Wenhai's tragic experience, everyone in the room laughed.After Chu Ci finished laughing, he had an idea in his heart.

……

After arriving at Dianmao in Qianya, Chu Ci ordered someone to ring the bell, preparing to gather everyone for a meeting.

The officials who heard the bell came to the conference room quickly, and one by one rushed to sit down at the back, fearing that they would be criticized by Chu Ci later.Chu Ci, who was outside the door, saw the chaos inside, so he coughed twice, and then the inside immediately fell silent, and sat down obediently in their respective seats.

"Everyone came at a good time. Last time, we asked everyone to go to various counties to study and research. We have all completed. I have also read all the things you handed in. The writing is very detailed, and some problems that have arisen have also been analyzed. This is very good." Chu Ci first praised their work, but the people who were accustomed to Chu Ci's style did not dare to relax, because they knew that after the red dates, there would be a big stick.

Sure enough, Chu Ci spoke again: "But everyone also understands that just doing these things will not solve the current problem. From the things you submitted, we can see that there are not many outstanding students in our Zhangzhou Prefecture. But this is not the case. It shows that the students are not studying hard, but there are still few opportunities for them to study and discuss. Some things can be learned in class, but some things cannot.”

The people below were discussing a lot at this time, and they didn't know what Chu Ci wanted to say again.If they are not in the classroom, is it possible to ask them to go outside?

"Everyone has also experienced the rural examination. Naturally, it is clear that the examination questions in the provincial examination are different from those in the county examination. In addition to the Four Books and Five Classics, there are more about current affairs. If the rural examination is still closed as usual If you only read the books of sages and sages, you may not pass the exam at all." Although what Chu Ci said was harsh, it was true.Most of them didn't realize it until later.If they can understand this truth earlier, I am afraid that the time for winning the exam will be shortened.

"What about your lord's opinion?"

"Chu remembers that when he was studying at the county school in Xijiang Province, a teahouse was opened near the county school. Every once in a while, a storyteller would come to tell the more important things that happened in Wei. We students usually go out every day. Go, but will spend money to buy a copy of the content, and then discuss with friends in the society and exchange ideas. Because of this, Chu will not be a blind man. Don’t say anything else, just talk about the recent Apart from the government, who else has paid attention to the news from the provincial capital? This is a major matter for the court, but our local students don’t know anything about it. Is this reasonable?"

The question Chu Ci raised was very realistic, and he was also reminded of Zhang Wenhai's entry into the fake agency.It is actually a good thing for these people to be able to set up a society, but they can't get the right guidance, they are just arrogant.And most of the students who have the ability to be admitted to Xiucai Juren are studying in the academy, except for Shuowang Day, it is impossible for them to come out to join any academy.This has led to the fact that those who sit and communicate are half-understood, and those who can understand have no chance to sit and communicate together.

Wang Ming thought for a while and said, "Master Yiti Xue, you mean that you want them to set up a society in the school and discuss more important national affairs on weekdays?"

"It's all right. But without supervision and guidance, I'm afraid it will become a mere formality." This is what Chu Ci is worried about. At the beginning, their Yuanshan Society was organized because of Chen Zifang's experience. Unlike other societies, they only talked about it. Some arty things, on the contrary, made some students unintentional to learn.

"Then, each society should send a teacher to guard them, so that we won't be afraid of them acting recklessly." Someone suggested.

Chu Ci shook his head again: "School clubs are all started when school is over, why do you let the master hang around the students after school? If the official asks Mr. Qi to stay and run errands after you leave the office every day, what can you do?" willing?"

But just because you are a higher-level department, you can't just add ugly things to the lower-level departments. There is a good saying that the upper level speaks, and the lower level breaks its legs.If you add extra work to your teacher, what if he is in a bad mood and doesn't want to teach?In the end, it was the students who were killed, which was contrary to the original intention.

"Then what should we do?" The officials sitting at the bottom were all frowning, and seemed to be thinking of a solution seriously.In fact, most people don't care about whether these students can learn something. Anyway, the students from Zhangzhou Prefecture have not passed the local examination. They don't think that just forming a society will make them better.

But there are also a small number of people who are seriously trying to find a way. They feel that it is very lucky to have a boss who is as diligent and hardworking as Chu Ci.

After a while, Zhou Qing said: "Master Tixue, I have learned about the habits of various schools in Zhangzhou Prefecture these days. They usually read and endorse in the morning, and explain their meaning in the afternoon. After the lecture, do it." Homework until the end of school. Can we do this and put these things to be discussed in the classroom to deal with. This will not waste the time of the masters, and the students will be guided when they discuss."

Chu Ci glanced at Zhou Qing with approving eyes, and then said: "Master Zhou's idea is very good, so that both aspects can be taken into account. I hope other adults can be like Master Zhou, and when they encounter problems, they can think hard to solve them. Now that this problem has been solved, there is another one. That is, compared with students, masters have more experience, but their information is not smooth about some matters related to government affairs. In this way, what is said in class is all superficial, so what is the benefit to the students?"

The praise that Zhou Qing received just now inspired everyone. Not long after Chuci finished asking the question, someone suggested a solution.However, Chu Ci rejected several methods in a row, so no one said anything more.

Chu Ci was a little helpless, and was about to raise his own ideas, when he saw a hand raised up below. The person who raised the hand seemed not very confident, so he raised it and then put it down.

After seeing the person clearly, Chu Ci said, "Master Jiang, I just saw you raised your hand and put it down, but what's your opinion? You might as well say it for everyone to hear, it doesn't matter if you're wrong."

Mr. Jiang was punished by Chu Ci last time, which made him a little embarrassed when he saw Chu Ci. Now that he was called on the spot because he couldn't control himself, he wanted to beat himself.

But when the fight came back, the boss called, there was no reason not to return, so he stood up and said, "Master Hui Tixue, this high opinion is not worth mentioning, and the subordinate officer just thought about it randomly, and he was afraid that he would not be able to make it to the stage, so he called Everyone laughed."

"But it doesn't matter."

"Then let me tell you. Just then, when your lord raised the question of the source of the news, the next official remembered that if you want to talk about major events in the court, where the news is the best, it must be the Yamen in various places. Whenever there is a major event in the court, they will Immediately fly pigeons to spread the news to the government offices of various places, and every few days in the government offices, there will be a report from the imperial court, and all the affairs are included. Can we borrow it and copy it, and then distribute it to each government office? A school, let them have a look?"

Mr. Jiang's brother-in-law works in the magistrate's yamen, and he has the authority to get in touch with these things, so Mr. Jiang's news is better than others every time.

After listening to him, Chu Ci was amazed in his heart. Sure enough, the wisdom of the ancients is infinite. As long as a little pressure is applied, many novel ideas can be produced.No, the embryonic form of the Education Newspaper came out!
