Chapter 1161 Scourge
More than a dozen literati originally felt that their talents were underappreciated, so they took the opportunity of Wuhou Temple to complain and show their sense of superiority. But in front of my eyes, someone said that I wrote a poem, and then you guys hurry up.
This is a slap in the face!
"Disrespectful!"
"If you can't do it, you must be severely punished today!"
"The woman seemed calm."
Xincheng is very calm, even expectant.
I encountered countless beautiful scenery along the way, but Jia Pingan refused to write poems, and just enjoyed it slowly with her.
Xiao Jia is finally going to write a poem.
The brothels in Chang'an City are eager to see through, so they hope that Master Jia can go to his own place to write a poem, but in the past few years, Jia Ping'an seems to have exhausted his talents, and there is no one.
Some people outside said that Jia Pingan was immersed in the officialdom, immersed in fighting, and those intrigues and quarrels wore away his poetic talent.
Xincheng looks forward to it.
Jia Pingan thought for a while, and glanced inside with his hands behind his back.
"Where can I find the ancestral hall of the prime minister? It's outside the city of Jinguan."
The beginning of these two sentences is free and easy, without any sense of craftsmanship.
The thin-faced man said stiffly, "It's just ordinary!"
"The green grass on the steps reflects the spring scenery, and the oriole with every leaf is empty."
"It's still normal." The face of the thin-faced man flushed a little.
Xincheng said in a low voice: "Since the spring scenery, the air has a good voice, and there is no word to pay tribute to Marquis Wu, but it makes people feel very sad."
This is the highest state of poetry.
Those tourists thought that there was no good poem, but after hearing these words, they rushed up one after another, staring at Jia Pingan with bated breath.
A group of people are looking forward to hearing good verses today.
Jia Ping'an turned sideways and smiled when he saw Xincheng looking up at him slightly.
"Three visits frequently trouble the world's schemes, and the two dynasties help the veterans."
The two lines of poem actually summed up Marquis Wu's life.
The thin-faced man was stunned, the sentence was still ordinary but he couldn't say it anymore.
Those tourists all exclaimed.
Shu people are like this. They feel good, and when they feel comfortable, they will yell out loudly.
It's not Pao Ge's temperament to hide something.
Xincheng was shocked, but it was Jia Ping'an who thought of it.
Xiao Jia is young and the emperor is not in good health. If things go on like this, Xiao Jia will probably be a veteran of the two dynasties...
"Death before leaving the army will make the hero burst into tears."
Jia Pingan nodded slightly.
There was silence.
The thin-faced man turned around, and the literati were all dumbfounded.
A person’s chance of encountering a famous piece in his life is about the same as buying a lottery ticket. For example, Wuhou Temple has been built for many years, but so far there has not been such a famous piece as Jia Pingan’s reciting.
More than a dozen literati feel that they have won the lottery.
Actually witnessed the birth of a famous poem face to face.
But they appear as antagonists.
"Good poem!"
A tourist shouted: "It's hard to get it!"
"Although I don't understand poetry and fu, I am deeply moved when I hear it. I can't help but think of Marquis Wu's life."
"Who is this person? He can write a famous novel..."
"Could it be a celebrity?"
"Maybe he is a son of a noble family."
"The sons of the nobles never mix with the common people, you want to eat farts!"
"Then who is he?"
Tourists rushed over, and Jia Pingan hurriedly led Xincheng in.
Xincheng was behind him, looking at his back, his eyes were full of fascination.
After they walked for a while, a literati shook his body and cursed: "This is a poem written by Duke Zhao in Chang'an. This man actually fooled us."
Shu is remote and information is inconvenient, but this literati still remembers this poem.
A group of literati cursed loudly, so angry that they wanted to vomit blood.
…
The local celebrity Qiu Xin spoke with a few companions with a cold face.
"Xinxue School has let the word out that there will be more enrollment next year. Many people in the local area are tempted. It is said that even officials and officials want to send their children... This is digging at the root of my waiting."
Smiling Shi Xun said: "This old man also knows about this matter. It is said that this is an order from Chang'an. They feel that they have established a firm foothold in Yizhou and are going to expand."
"A group of cheap dog slaves, it is said that Chang'an is flourishing, but this is Yizhou!" Dou He curled his lips in disdain.
"The old man should put pressure on this matter."
Shi Xun smiled kindly, "Put pressure from the official side!"
Qiu Xin said dissatisfiedly: "Do you think the Governor's Mansion dares to touch Jia Pingan's bad luck?"
Dou He sneered, "There are many like-minded gentlemen in Yizhou. If we join forces, whoever dares to send his son to Xinxue Academy will just isolate him."
"This is a desperate plan! Drain from the bottom of the pot."
"no?"
"OK!"
"First kill the chicken to make an example to the monkey, and don't kill the monkey to make an example to the chicken!"
…
Jia Shun joined the army as a facao from Yizhou Dudufu, but in fact each state has its own set of troops, and his status as a facao in the army is not obvious.
But Jia Shun, who is also one of the important components of the Dudu Mansion, is satisfied with the status quo.
The only worry is the future of his son Jia Yun.
"You used to study in the state school, and the imperial examination was hopeless. As a father, I often thought about what you would do in the future. It is okay to be a minor official, but as a minor official, you have to suffer and climb step by step at the bottom, and your father usually scolds you. You, but I don't want you to suffer such hardships..."
Jia Yun did not expect that his father, who used to be strict in the past, would say such kind words today. He lost his composure and said, "Aye, did you drink too much?"
Snapped!
After being slapped on the back of the head, Jia Yun became more at ease and grinned, "Aye, should I go into business?"
"Be a fart!"
Jia Shun had a straight face, "It's embarrassing for the descendants to do business, and now I have a good idea for my father. The new school is accepting registration recently, but there is no entrance exam. You have the foundation, so you can enter naturally."
"New?"
Jia Yun's youthful heart, can't help but say happily: "They say new learning is interesting."
"It's for you to learn skills, it's not fun!"
Jia Shun slapped him again, "Go change your clothes, and I will take you to sign up for my father later. By the way, don't change into new clothes... I heard that my father doesn't judge people by rich or poor. If you wear new clothes, If they don't make it right, they will think that a dude has come... Hurry up!"
The father and son set off later and went straight to the school.
The school is built in the city, quite spacious, but the buildings are simple.
"Aye, this class is not as good as the county school."
Jia Yun was a little disappointed, worried that this was a poor settlement.
"What do you know? Someone from Chang'an came to Yizhou and said that the new school does not need luxury, but solidity and durability. What else... flashy things will only confuse the teachers and students."
Jia Shun quite agrees with this point of view, "Think about it, when you are in a luxurious place all day, do you read textbooks or luxury? Children who are not determined will naturally be attracted by luxury, and then compare each other... how can this be done?" Did you study well?"
Jia Yun was not convinced, "Aye, when we were in the county school, the classroom used to be the courtyard of a rich family. It was quite luxurious, but no one was distracted."
He felt that his father was getting old, and he was becoming more and more conservative.
Entered the school, there is a gentleman who is registering.
"name."
"Jia Yun."
"..."
After completing the registration of personal information, the master said: "The exam will come in five days. Since you have studied in the state school for a long time, it is no problem to pass the test. But the ugly thing is that there is no distinction between officials' children and ordinary people's children in the school. Every morning Practice, those who fail to pass the test will be punished. Second, the school manages one lunch every day. If you are spoiled and feel uncomfortable eating, it’s okay to be hungry..."
When going out, Jia Yun asked: "Aye, why do you feel like the army?"
Jia Shun beamed with joy, "That's the way it should be. This kind of strictness can teach talents and children with perseverance. Good! Good! Good!"
From the perspective of an adult, such strict rules will naturally feel distressed for children, but when thinking of the benefits brought by it, all distress is suppressed.
Jia Yun went to find his former classmates to brag about.
"I'm going to study in Xinxue School."
Everyone is envious.
"I'm not allowed to go at home."
"If you learn well in Xinxue School, there will be no shortage of recruiting places when you come back."
Jia Yun returned home triumphantly.
Two guests came to Jia Shun's room.
"Your son has a bright future."
"yes!"
Jia Shun felt that this was a compliment to himself.
The visitor smiled and said, "You are from Confucianism, and Jia Yun is also from Confucianism...remember your own background."
Another man said impatiently: "I stood in the wrong place, I forgot my origin, and I should go back and experience the hard times back then."
The two immediately got up and said goodbye.
What is the meaning of this?
Jia Shun stood up, "Dare to ask you two..."
A man said without turning his head: "Have you heard of it, Mr. Qiu?"
Qiu Xin?
This Yizhou celebrity is not simple. The Qiu family is a wealthy family in Yizhou. It is okay to say that they are a powerful family in Yizhou, and they have a huge influence on Yizhou.
"There are also you sages."
Isn't it just the Qiu family?
Jia Shun subconsciously wanted to obey, but when he thought that his son would lose the best path in life, he laughed and said: "This old man is only for the sake of the child, not because he likes to learn new things..."
"You should think clearly."
The two left.
Jia Shun's heart was burning hot, but he didn't say anything when he got home.
On the fifth day, when Jia Yun was about to stop, Jia Shun hesitated.
"Walk."
Given the two options of being suppressed and his son losing his future, Jia Shun chose the latter without hesitation.
"Aye, I will definitely pass the test today."
Jia Yun is full of confidence.
"good."
Jia Shun came out of the school, and saw many parents waiting outside, and a few men watching the crowd, actually recording...
In an instant, Jia Shun felt a chill in his heart.
Xinxue School has not been in Yizhou for a long time, and the students who just entered the school are just children from ordinary families, and others are watching with cold eyes...
But then the feedback from the students and parents came out, which turned out to be surprisingly good.
New learning allows children to learn real skills.
And there is a way out for the child... As soon as they come out, the state and county will recruit. If this is the state and county officials, they will wait for the first batch of new students to come out.
The Governor's Mansion did not express its position...Yizhou is stable, but what stability brings is conservatism. The anti-Xinxue forces here are extremely strong. If the Dudu Mansion stands up and expresses its support, who will be the troublemakers of those wealthy families?
Among the applicants in the second year, the children of officials appeared.
This matter caused quite a shock.
This year is the third year.
Jia Pingan came with Xincheng.
"Look, this is the school of Yizhou Xinxue. It is very large and recruits many students every year. After another five years, those students will leave the school one after another. They will become officials, businessmen, and leaders in all walks of life... Ten Years later, when we come to Yizhou again, what you will see is full of vigor."
Everywhere along the way, Jia Ping'an would visit the local Xinxue school, and was very satisfied with the expansion momentum of Xinxue.
"The money still played a role?"
Xincheng was thinking of the tens of millions of dollars he got from the math auction invention.
"A lot of that money has been handed out this year. New schools will be built everywhere, and lunch will be subsidized... You have never seen such poor families in Xincheng, who can't get enough to eat. Some families have a pair of pants, and whoever goes out wears them..."
"So poor?" Xincheng's eyes widened in disbelief.
"Yes, there are poorer ones than this."
Jia Ping'an is well-informed about such things, so he is not surprised. He just has an anxiety that he wants to change everything.
Xincheng said after a while: "So... I spent a lot of money in the past... I will donate some money and food when I go back..."
Xu Xiaoyu couldn't help but said: "Mr. Lang donates a large amount of money and food to the nursing home every year."
"Why is no one talking about it?" Xincheng was surprised.
Wang Laoer said: "Lang Jun ordered to go quietly, and don't say anything, and don't say anything on weekdays."
Xincheng was really shocked.
"I was born in a poor family, and I know the torment caused by these poverty... Those children from poor families dream of changing their situation, but where is the way out? Now the Tang Dynasty can only give them a way out of reading. But the cost of reading It's not small, and studying hard for many years may not necessarily pass the imperial examination... It was a waste of time and money..."
Jia Pingan thought of many things.
"That's why you insisted that Xinxue reduce the tuition fees for poor children?"
Xincheng's eyes were full of admiration, "There is also a hearty lunch, so that even if the child goes home to eat poorly, he can still stand up and grow strong..."
It turns out that this is the real world, and Chang'an is just a corner.
"What can you gain by studying Confucianism? Even if a wealthy family cannot pass the imperial examination, there are other ways out. But what about the common people? If they cannot pass the imperial examination, can Confucianism make them earn money or make them stand out?" ?both are not."
"Practical learning!"
This is Jia Pingan's biggest motivation to promote new learning, "Why do those gentry and wealthy families have the upper hand? Isn't it because they can read, but the common people can't? If you don't read, you are blind and foolish. Smart people look at fools and open-minded people. Blind, full of natural superiority."
"But once the new school pushes common people to study, the so-called sense of superiority will disappear, and the common people will despise them... What are they left with? Power and money."
Xincheng said: "But their power and money will be gradually deprived with the promotion of new learning..."
"Finally a check and balance."
"They have monopolized the right to education, which is why they have survived for hundreds of years."
Monopoly is always the biggest obstacle to social progress and the biggest enemy of social justice.
The emergence of new learning has effectively attacked this monopoly, and the once high-ranking face has changed, becoming anxious and angry.
"Jia Shun's son went in."
"Can you dissuade?"
"Good advice."
"Find his faults and get him down."
Jia Shun went to check the room on the second day, and was a director as usual.
"Jia joins the army!"
Someone came in from outside.
"Chang Shi ordered you to go."
When seeing Chang Shi, Jia Shun still wondered if something good happened.
"Last year you favored criminals, now someone is coming to sue..."
Jia Shun was cold all over.
"This... long history, this evidence was not found at the time..."
He felt that he was wronged.
"Let's go home first, this old man will write about Chang'an later..."
Then it’s dismissal.
Jia Shun returned to the duty room in a daze.
There was someone waiting in the duty room, one of the two men who came to stop him that day.
The man said in a deep voice: "If you take one wrong step in many things, you will be wrong all your life, and you will bring disaster to your children and grandchildren."
Jia Shun stood outside the gate of the Dudu Mansion with tears streaming down his face, and suddenly turned around and shouted: "I was wronged, this is their revenge for sending my son to school, these despicable people..."
Jia Shun is gone.
"Jia Shun sent his son to the school of Xinxue, which is against the people of Yizhou."
The murderous declaration spread throughout the city, and then spread outward.
Jia Pingan, who was preparing to continue traveling in another place, also got the news.
“Those people said in a murderous manner that this was killing monkeys to make an example to chickens. Many people dare not send their children to school, and even the families of children who passed the test repented and said they would never go to school again.”
Xu Xiaoyu found out a lot of information, but none of the local snake Sun Qian gave details.
"Then Jia Shun joined the army as a member of the judiciary, so he is reasonably proud, but the group of people behind this matter is even more proud. The leader is Qiu Xin. The Qiu family has been a famous family in Yizhou for hundreds of years. With those people, even the Dudu's Mansion has to do it for him." sideways glance..."
Awesome!
This is a local snake, and the Xinxue School, which is crossing the river, is naturally invincible.
"Jia Shun's case was framing, and his judgment in that case was absolutely correct, but Qiu Xin and the others... no, they didn't bother to take action, but they got the evidence of framing, and then turned the case over. This is why Jia Shun broke the law..."
Damn it!
"The local rich are really lawless."
Local wealthy family... Later generations are called Tu Huangdi, and no one dares to mess with it.
Sun Qian sighed: "It's not just this, someone let the word go, saying that Jia Shun may have taken money... Taking bribes and breaking the law, this is a heavy responsibility plus exile... Jia Shun is so pitiful, this monkey will ruin his family."
"The surname is Jia!"
Jia Ping'an smiled, "Perhaps the Governor's Mansion will feel guilty and correct this matter."
Sun Qian's eyes widened, "Don't dare to think like that! The Governor's Mansion also has to be afraid of these local wealthy families. If you offend them, the Governor's Mansion will have no peace in the future... Even if you want to do something, how can you do it without their support? Government order I'm afraid it won't work if you leave the Dudu's Mansion!"
This is the local wealthy family!
Local governance has been the model of the government plus local wealthy families since a long time ago...Of course, what was called the gentry later. The so-called wealthy family has actually become an uncrowned king.
Jia Ping'an smiled and said: "Yizhou is a good place, but the smog is... not good!"
Sun Qian muttered, went out and found Xu Xiaoyu.
"Let Mr. Lang not meddle in his own business, otherwise I'm afraid you won't be able to leave Yizhou."
This is a serious warning.
Xu Xiaoyu smiled and said, "I'll tell you later."
But then Xu Xiaoyu and Wang Laoer were dispatched.
Two days later, the two of them came back.
"Five people were seriously injured, and more than ten people were tortured..."
The confession was very neat, and Jia Pingan just glanced at it, and said: "The local tyrants are indeed the local scourge!"
