Chapter 972 Chaoyang
Tuesday’s childhood was very ignorant and joyous. He can play for a long time seeing earthworms, or go up a tree to find bugs and have fun for a long time...
Father Zhou Yuanyuan worked for a merchant in West Market. He worked hard all day carrying bags, but his wages were more lucrative than others.
Because his father earns a lot of money, his mother, Qiao, weaves at home to subsidize the family and take care of the children by the way.
"Aye, I'm going."
The eldest brother Zhou Dazao worked as a waiter in a restaurant in Pingkangfang, but the thirteen-year-old boy began to learn how to support his family.
"Go after breakfast!"
Zhou Yuanyuan had a serious face, and his dark face showed the majesty of his father.
Mr. Qiao was bringing food in and out, and after Zhou Da sat down, he patted Zhou Da on the back, but his hand hurt from the shock. She said angrily: "I've been thinking about eating and drinking in restaurants all day long, what if the shopkeeper doesn't want you?"
Zhou Da said proudly: "Mother, I can read people's eyes and talk to customers. How can the shopkeeper not want me? If he doesn't want me, how many restaurants and businesses are there in Pingkang Fang? Difference."
Breakfast is steamed cakes, homemade pickles, plus a bowl of bacon and vegetable soup.
Sitting next to his father on Tuesday, Zhou Yuanyuan brought him a steamed pancake, "It's hot, blow it up and eat it."
"Um!"
Tuesday is nine years old, but because he is the youngest in the family, he has lived a carefree life since he was a child.
He picked up the steamed cake and blew on it, and took a bite after it cooled down a bit.
It's full of the smell of food!
I ate carelessly on Tuesday.
Zhou Da on the opposite side looked at him, and suddenly smiled, "Aye, do you think my younger brother is white, and looks like A Niang?"
Zhou Yuanyuan turned her head to look at her youngest son, nodded and said, "You are like me, and Erlang is like your mother."
Mr. Qiao sat down, wiped her hands with her apron, picked up a steamed pancake and said with a smile: "No, Erlang is so fair and clean, he will definitely find a wife in the future."
Zhou Dalala said: "Don't worry about this. When I get rich, I will find a noble girl for Erlang. Erlang, what kind do you want?"
Looked up on Tuesday, and said unhappily: "Brother, you haven't even found a lady yet!"
"I'm not rare!"
Zhou Dayang is proud.
Mr. Qiao said while eating: "Are you going to sign up today?"
Zhou Yuanyuan nodded, with a little helplessness on her dark face, "The school is not far away, and it is said that His Majesty made it by saving money and saving money, just to keep our children from being blind. The eldest is thirteen years old, past the age for their recruitment. , Erlang is fine, he is just nine years old. I think there is still one lunch every day, and Erlang is fine at home, so let’s try it.”
Zhou Da casually turned half of the steamed cake in his hand, and said casually: "Only those rich and noble families eat lunch, and this school even cares about lunch...they have a lot of money."
I don’t know whether it’s good or bad to go to school on Tuesday, but Aye said that he might not be able to choose.
It is best not to go.
Standing in the yard, looking at the big tree that he had climbed countless times, he became inexplicably melancholy on Tuesday.
It seems that the carefree melancholy is about to disappear.
Later Zhou Yuanyuan took him to Xunfangzheng.
Fangzheng is very lively there, with hundreds of people crowded.
"Squeeze your mother! Back off!"
Fangzheng's distraught voice came from inside, and then the Fangzu began to drive away.
"All lined up."
Most of the people who bring their children to sign up are mothers, and there are also grandfathers, so Zhou Yuanyuan, who specially takes half a day off to bring their children to sign up, is an outlier.
Tuesday saw a lot of teenagers, five or six year olds, even two or three year olds with a runny nose... There were also teenagers.
"The child was sent here because he couldn't even hold the pen steadily. This is because he wants His Majesty to help you with the baby? Get lost!"
"How old is this? What are you bringing here when you can work? Beast, go to work quickly, at least it will make Ye Niang feel lighter."
After some screening, many people were kicked out with resentful faces.
Finally it was Zhou's father and son's turn. Zhou Yuanyuan saw that Fangzheng was sweating profusely and looked tired, and worried that he would be careless.
Fang Zheng glanced at Tuesday, "It's Erlang!"
Nod subconsciously on Tuesday.
This nod was exchanged for Fangzheng's smile, "He's a good boy, I remember he was seven years old?"
Zhou Yuanyuan was taken aback for a moment, "Yes...it's seven years old."
Fangzheng Huang Jun smiled and said, "Seven years old is good!"
Zhou Yuanyuan is a coolie, but she knows how to look at people, so she said with a flattering smile, "Thank you, Fang Zheng."
Immediately register various information.
Because they are all neighbors, they can be said to know everything, so the registration is very fast.
After the end of the night, I still went home to play on Tuesday.
He climbed to the tree and looked at the outside world, suddenly feeling very melancholy.
I am nine years old!
Mr. Qiao came out to look for him, looked up and saw him on the tree, and cursed: "This is death! Why don't you come down quickly? Get down!"
Qiao slapped him with a broom, and the melancholy on Tuesday dissipated.
After the registration is the summary.
The Ministry of Officials came together with those who studied mathematics.
"There are quite a few people who signed up for Anshanfang. The number is too high. We need to screen."
Officials of the Ministry of Officials and teaching assistants of mathematics will screen together.
"Just a hundred people."
"This one is nine years old, screen it out."
"I don't need this one when he's eleven years old."
"this…"
After some screening, there were a few more people.
Officials from the Ministry of Rites and the teaching assistant of mathematics are discussing.
"Should we screen out this Tuesday?"
The teaching assistant glanced at these people, "They are all about the same, but this Tuesday is seven years old. My husband said that it is best to enter school at the age of seven, who can understand the rules and accept knowledge..."
Huang Jun smiled and said: "No, I heard that seven years old is the best, so those neighbors brought their children to sign up, and I let them go back when they were older."
Several people nodded, "Okay, so it's Tuesday."
Then post a list.
Zhou Yuanyuan returned to the workshop after a day of exhaustion, and saw the list as soon as she entered the workshop.
"Zhou Yuanyuan, your house is here on Tuesday!"
Zhou Yuanyuan is illiterate, but she remembers her own name and the names of her wife and children.
He saw the word "Tuesday" at the tail, and said happily, "Thank you, Fang Zheng."
He went home and took a piece of bacon to find Huang Jun's house to thank him.
Huang Jun was drinking, and when he saw him coming, he took him to drink two glasses, and said drunkenly: "Your Erlang is nine years old, there is a record in Wannian County, but the school doesn't know how to check it. Let Erlang remember his own age, don't be so **** wrong..."
Zhou Yuanyuan nodded, "Fangzheng don't worry, if Erlang is disobedient, I'll beat him to death later."
He raised his glass and said sincerely: "Thank you, Fang Zheng. If Erlang can achieve something in the future, he will definitely remember Fang Zheng's great kindness."
Huang Jun waved his hand, "I don't care about his reward? I just saw that Erlang is well-behaved and doesn't talk much. It would be a pity if such a child goes to farm and become a buddy. Anyway, he should study..."
He took a sip of wine and said comfortably: "This time I went to math school and met Duke Jia. Mr. Jia is a kind old man... he is more kind than those small officials. He said with a smile that being illiterate is not something to be proud of. Some people Blind eyes are not blind, and ignorance is blindness. Therefore, as long as the child can read, send it quickly... I just listened to what Jia Jungong said, and I saw that your Erlang was pleasing to the eye, so I changed his age for him... "
Zhou Yuanyuan said goodbye later, pulled down the bacon, Huang Jun stared, "I still care about this thing of yours? Take it away!"
Zhou Yuanyuan said shyly: "I have to be thankful! Otherwise, I feel uneasy, and feel flustered because of what I owe."
"Take it away." Huang Jun said lightly: "I don't care about it!"
Zhou Yuanyuan returned home, Zhou Da had already returned, rubbing his brother's head and making fun of him.
"You are going to study tomorrow, but you want me to buy you a new dress? See if there are any girls in the school, and if there are any, hurry up and coax them, maybe when you grow up, the girls will be willing to marry you... "
Tuesday was a bit dazed.
"Aye, read... read what?"
Zhou Yuanyuan didn't know either, "Mr. Jia said that being illiterate is blind, Aye is blind, so is your elder brother, and so is your mother. The whole family is blind, so there must be some eyesight. You went to Haosheng to read, come back and tell Aye about the school."
"Um!"
In the early morning of the second day, I was woken up early on Tuesday, and then changed into new clothes.
"Eat quickly."
On the first day, Zhou Yuanyuan wanted to take her second child there, but there were too many jobs in the store today, so she asked Mrs. Qiao to take the child to school.
After his father and brother left, Mrs. Qiao estimated the time and did some homework before taking Tuesday to school.
Tuesday followed her, feeling a little uneasy, "Aniang, why don't you stop reading, let's go home."
Mr. Qiao turned her head and said ferociously: "You, Aye, asked someone to study for you, and the family gave you money. If you don't study hard, you, Aye, will definitely punish you severely!"
Tuesday was scared, so he nodded, "Well, then I will study hard."
The school is brand new, and as soon as you enter, you can see an open space, which is said to be a playground.
The room on the left is bigger than the school. Two women are packing up the ingredients. On Tuesday, they saw a large fan of pig meat.
Hog meat is delicious!
Lick your mouth on Tuesday.
Huang Haitong stood outside the classroom to greet the students.
"Meet sir."
Qiao brought Tuesday to salute, then grabbed Tuesday's arm and said: "This child is naughty, but if you don't obey him, just beat him, and kill him."
Parents around are in agreement.
Huang Haitong smiled and said, "I won't hit the students, don't worry."
Mr. Qiao was in a hurry, "What if you don't fight! Don't be polite, sir, just fight."
In her mind, if she doesn't beat the child, she is herding the sheep. Compared with feeling sorry for their children, mothers are more willing to see their children learn knowledge and grow up.
Huang Haitong just smiled, "Go in."
Two classes, each with fifty students.
According to the arrangement, at present he must teach these two classes by himself, and let them study by themselves after teaching one class, practice calligraphy and recite or something. Then he went to another class to teach.
Waiting for the enrollment again next year, the number of teachers in each school will increase, and the corresponding number of students will also increase. According to Mr., it is better to teach one more.
There is no class for teaching!
Huang Haitong stepped onto the podium and wrote down his name.
"My name is Huang Haitong, and I will be your husband from now on. Now I call the roll, and those who are called stand up."
Students stood up following their names.
"Tuesday."
Get up nervously on Tuesday, "Here."
Huang Haitong glanced at him, "Sit down."
Sit down on Tuesday.
After the roll call is completed, textbooks will be distributed immediately.
The ink-smelling textbook was opened, and there was a line written on the title page.
"Read after me."
Tuesday looked up at Mr.
Mr. read very seriously: "I am responsible for the rise and fall of the world!"
Tuesday followed and said: "I am responsible for the rise and fall of the world!"
Then began literacy.
…
"A student of mathematics!"
Lu Shunyi's face was pale, "Your Majesty conspired with Jia Ping'an, they pretended to be at a loss, and then recalled those mathematics students, and they turned into Mr.
Wang Sheng stared out of the window blankly, and Cicada was neighing frantically, "The scary thing is... the new students become masters, and there will be more than ten thousand new disciples in Chang'an City. What's even more frightening is that they plan to teach every year. Enrollment... Ten years later, the city of Chang'an will be full of new disciples..."
Li Jing was trembling all over, "My family asked me to come to Guozijian to make a name for the gentry, but Wenzong, but I have been waiting in Chang'an for several years, but I have done nothing, and arithmetic is constantly expanding under our noses... We are extremely incompetent .”
"Ah Lang, someone is here." A follower came in, looking uncomfortable.
Later, the three of them appeared at Lu Shunyi's home.
Several old people sat at the top, looking at them coldly.
"The school is open, Mr. is not one of us, why didn't you report it?"
Lu Shunyi smiled wryly: "At that time, the old man wrote a letter back, but the family wrote back saying what books those mud-legged people read, it was just a gimmick made by the emperor to buy people's hearts..."
A few old people are indifferent, and the old man in the middle is as thin as a hemp stick, as if blown away by a gust of wind. He sneered and said, "You can't see the scene of Chang'an at home, why didn't you report it in detail, so that the family made a wrong judgment."
Another old man sighed: "More than ten thousand students! Is the emperor crazy?"
The skinny old man shook his head, "Not only ten thousand, but more than ten thousand every year. In ten years, Chang'an will be full of new students..."
The old man next to him smiled and said, "What new things do a group of traffickers and pawns learn? Is it scary for me?"
The thin old man frowned and looked at him, "Even if there is only one talent out of a thousand people, there can be ten in a year. Don't forget the new students recruited by the Ministry of Households and the Ministry of Industry."
Lu Shunyi's body trembled, "Xinxue students enter the officialdom, and then they will become a force. When they try their best to encourage the imperial examination to include a new subject..."
The skinny old man said indifferently: "Afterwards, we and the gentry will face the situation of being besieged and suppressed, and the emperor will manipulate the two sides to achieve a balance."
He sneered and said: "But we have been waiting for the gentry for many years, how can anyone stand shoulder to shoulder? It's just a bunch of mud legs, but the emperor wants to pull them up and let them fight with the gentry, so he can profit from it."
The three of Lu Shunyi looked at each other with solemn expressions.
The skinny old man felt wrong, "But what else do I not know?"
Li Jingdu's face was ugly, "When Xinxue first entered mathematics, he was called a rat crossing the street, and everyone shouted and beat him. At that time, Jia Ping'an didn't say anything, and he bowed his head and ignored how the outside world attacked him... But he It's not this kind of temperament that won't fight back."
Lu Shunyi felt that he had completely failed, and his frustration made him wish he could slap himself, "He kept silent because he wanted to gain a foothold in the new school. If he dared to fight us at that time, the gentry could have strangled him so-called new learning."
The skinny old man looked solemn, "So he silently waited for Xinxue to become stronger step by step..."
"Yes." Lu Shunyi said: "Xinxue has always been a rat on the street, since when did it start to change... I remember that when the Ministry of Households started scrambling for new students, more and more people signed up... When it was time Now, even those old men are sending their grandchildren to math school..."
Li Jingdu added: "He also took in a few dignitaries as disciples, and later became the prince's husband. Those people saw...the prince is actually learning new things, so what are I waiting for..."
The skinny old man clapped his hands on the desk, his beard and hair stretched out, "What a cunning boy!"
The old man beside him smiled wryly: "At the beginning he bowed his head, that was not his humility."
Lu Shunyi shook his head, "Jia Ping'an is not humble. He can sit and talk with the common people, and he is very friendly. But when he talked to me, the taste of looking down was like looking at a group of mountain people. It's superior..."
Wang Sheng became more and more angry when he thought about it, "When he lowered his head, his eyes must have been full of complacency! He lied to us!"
"You are stupid!"
The skinny old man got up and said in a deep voice: "The family has not heard the news yet, do you have a way to let the Confucians go in and become teachers?"
Lu Shunyi was surprised, "We encouraged those scholars not to be teachers, but now we have changed our course..."
The thin old man said coldly: "Do you think this is a trivial matter? This is a major matter related to the life and death of the gentry. Let alone changing course, even killing people is worth it!"
…
North Korea.
Jia Pingan also came today.
The empress sat on it, and the emperor looked in a good mood.
"Your Majesty."
After the discussion, Xu Jingzong got up and said: "Your Majesty, there are now more than a hundred schools in Chang'an teaching, and the people everywhere are praising Your Majesty's kindness... But I have hidden worries."
Li Zhi smiled and said: "Hidden worries? But Jia Qing's negligence?"
You performed well in this play, but why did you pull me in?
Jia Ping'an was speechless.
Xu Jingzong glanced at Jia Ping'an, and said proudly: "I found a problem. What can those students do after they learn it? Doing business, being a buddy, being a craftsman... If they can only do these things, those people may not be happy." .”
Many courtiers gathered in today's court meeting, and after these words, there was a commotion immediately.
Xu Jingzong's words are wrong!
Li Zhi said indifferently: "Does Xu Qing have any suggestions?"
This is standard acting!
Xu Jingzong said solemnly: "In the past years, the imperial examination officials saw a lot of people who pretended to be numbers. Why? It's because the prefectures and counties in different places are good and bad. I was thinking, why not let the new learning become a subject of the imperial examination? So different Talented people have entered the court... hahahaha!"
Cui Jian glanced at Jia Pingan, only to feel a little dizzy.
This was premeditated!
A courtier shouted: "Your Majesty, the new school is heresy, how can it be qualified to enter the imperial examination? It will only miss the world!"
Li Ji got up and said calmly: "When the imperial examination was held in those days, the first emperor went to Duanmen and saw the new scholars coming out. He said happily: "The heroes of the world have entered my nest! The heroes mentioned by the first emperor did not refer to the disciples of Confucianism. Why can't the new scholars come out?" Learned into the imperial examination? Whether they are talents... Dou Shangshu of the Ministry of Households is here today, and Yan Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry is also there. Both of them have many new students under their command. Please tell me. "
Dou Dexuan came out of the class, "The new students are good at calculation, and they are the pillars of the household department."
Yan Liben came out of the class, "The new students learn to build faster than anyone else, and they draw inferences from one instance and use their new knowledge to build...fast and good."
Li Zhi looked at the officials, "So, starting from this year, there will be a new subject in the imperial examination... a new study!"
Some people were pale, some were furious, and some smiled and nodded.
Dispersed.
Jia Pingan walked in front and heard cursing from behind.
"Jia Pingan, you must die!"
The sun shone on his body, and also on the house, countless rays of light bloomed...
New learning is like the rising sun.
The Tang Dynasty is like the rising sun!
My years of planning finally came to fruition today.
The courtiers who cursed Jia Pingan saw him turn around, then raised his right hand and waved it vigorously.
Go to your uncle!
…
Ask for a vote!
