"Duke Qi..." Emperor Hongzhi laughed, with a bit of interest in his eyes, and said, "What's wrong with Duke Qi?"

The old woman was hospitable and immediately laughed: "This Duke of Qi is the great master of Xishan Academy. No one in the world knows, no one knows... The students he brings out are all selected from thousands of miles, and they are all really capable. Therefore, if anyone in our Nantong Prefecture is lucky enough to be recommended into Xishan Academy, it means that the ancestors have accumulated virtue, and even if they are exchanged for Jinshi, they will not be exchanged. 綄本神网站 www.xinwanben. com"

Scholars are not changed...

This... sounds like an exaggeration.

Fang Jifan touched his nose, is that an exaggeration? How do you listen, are you trying to harm me?

Wang Guang, who was at the side, was immediately displeased.

What is a Jinshi, it is a Wenqu star, a title on the gold list, you wild women, don't you understand?

But he didn't dare to make a sound, and he didn't dare to say anything.

But Wang Shouren was by the side, but he had a different idea in his heart.

The scholars of Xishan Academy are indeed no worse than the Jinshi named on the gold list. When the Jinshi comes out, he must first become a scholar, or become an observer of politics. After a few years, he finally gets a job, and most of them are small officials. The salary is frighteningly low. Although he has become an official and lord, in reality, he is just at the bottom of the ranks.

On the other hand, once the scholars of Xishan Academy are released, they are also respected. If they have a thesis or other achievements and get a degree, they will be even more popular. When it comes to ordinary officials, if you offend them, you will be offended. What can you do, behind him are countless classmates, his seniors, some are academicians, and some have already entered the court as officials. Fang Jifan?

Emperor Hongzhi smiled. He had also met many scholars from Xishan Academy, and he couldn't help nodding: "Yes, the scholars trained by Xishan Academy know both business operations and astronomy and geography. , it is they who are most lacking.

The old woman became more interested in talking, and continued with a red face: "Yes, yes, the people in Xishan Academy are the most amazing. Let's say that there is a family next door to us, surnamed Chen, and his son was recommended to Xishan Academy last year. The academy was opened, it was very lively at that time, people all over the street went to congratulate it, as if they won the first prize, and I heard that they are studying medicine now."

As she said that, the woman seemed to think of something, her expression changed, and she complained again: "Speaking of which, the old man's son is not up to date, and he knows how to play all day long. Although he is in school, he is very naughty."

Emperor Hongzhi heard an important point from the woman's words, and he couldn't help but wondered: "Why, there are people going to school next door?"

It's fine for one or two families to enroll, after all, it is accidental.

But if a large number of people are enrolled, the nature is different.

The old woman felt that she was not surprised, and said: "If you don't go to school, what is the use of the child? They are the darlings of the parents. Is it impossible to teach them to do coolies when they grow up? Not to mention the neighborhood in this area, it is the whole Nantong Prefecture Who doesn't know that children should go to school to have a future, if not, they are going to be laughed at behind their backs, and people are alive to fight for it. Just like our child, going to school costs a lot, But gritted your teeth, why don't you send it in, otherwise, you'd be ashamed to be a human being, let alone it's not for the children?"

Emperor Hongzhi was shocked.

Even Wang Guang, the magistrate of Luzhou, was shocked.

He thought that Nantong Prefecture didn't have a single Jinshi. Compared with his own Luzhou, it was like a sky and an underground. How could he have thought that... this place... was a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger.

He is a magistrate and a local official, so he naturally knows that it is unimaginable to send children to school regardless of whether they are rich or poor.

Did the people in Nantong Prefecture take the wrong medicine?

Emperor Hongzhi was speechless for a while, and he was speechless for a long time. His face was full of horror, and then he muttered to himself: "They are all parents too. Do parents in Nantong Prefecture have parental love? And the parents in Luzhou Prefecture, don’t they have parental love?”

No... of course that's impossible. xinwanben

These two places are both in Nanzhili, although they are separated by several states and counties, but the change in people's hearts will never be so great.

But... why are the two places so different, so different?

But Emperor Hongzhi couldn't figure it out.

At this time, he no longer cared about the old woman, turned his gaze, and said to Xiao Jing as if ordering: "Go, ask the neighbors one by one, and return immediately, I will wait here."

At this time, Xiao Jing was so hungry that his chest was pressed against his back, and he heard His Majesty asked him to ask one by one, crying loudly in his heart, but how dare he neglect, he could only obediently say yes, and flew away up.

The old woman finally realized something strange, and couldn't help saying: "You...you...are not... from the academy, right?"

Emperor Hongzhi glanced at her, his face became gentle again, and said with a slight smile: "You don't have to be afraid, old man, Ji Fan, give her a few taels of silver."

Fang Jifan felt a little aggrieved, why did it sound like His Majesty deliberately dismissed Xiao Jing who brought the money to His Majesty, and then beat his Qiufeng.

Although Fang Jifan complained in his heart, he naturally didn't dare to hesitate. He immediately took out a stack of banknotes from his sleeve and took out a stack of banknotes. He looked at them carefully and found that they were all hundred yuan bills. Fang Jifan looked up at Hongzhi

The emperor glanced at him with a perplexity on his face.

Emperor Hongzhi watched from the side, and couldn't help rolling his Adam's apple. This guy...is so rich that he carries a wad of hundred taels of silver with him.

Fang Jifan finally took one and put it on the table, and generously said to the woman: "This is my reward from Taishan, you go and order some tea."

When the old woman saw the banknote, her face turned pale with fright. She wanted to reject it, but she couldn't bear it. She hesitated for a while, and was afraid that Fang Jifan would take back the banknote, so she put it in her pocket: "Yes, Yes. My lord... my lord waits for all generations."

Fang Jifan really wanted to complain about her, this 'lord' is the son of heaven, he is the emperor of all generations, I don't care that you are a prince of all generations.

After waiting for more than an hour, Xiao Jing came back out of breath, his legs were trembling, his face was tired, and he panted and said: "I have inquired, I have inquired, I have inquired, the neighbors, There are also a few neighbors next door, there are so many students, almost every household has children of the right age, and they all go to school."

Emperor Hongzhi got up suddenly, and walked around with his hands behind his back. He suddenly looked at Wang Shouren and said, "This...is this hope? Hope! Wang Qing's family, do you remember what you said to me back then, when Qing was in Ural, To make these Tatars surrender is to give them hope. I have been thinking about what is hope and what is hope, but now, I seem to see hope here, but I still don’t understand what hope is. May I tell you?"

Wang Shouren has always been taciturn. Wherever His Majesty goes, he just follows. Others were silent, maybe they simply had nothing to say, but he was silent, as if he was thinking about something all the time.

At this time, after listening to Emperor Hongzhi's inquiry, Wang Shouren still had a troubled expression on his face, and said calmly: "Hope is nothing more than something that people can reach out and touch. In the past, the enlightenment of the Ming Dynasty only emphasized virtue, not skills, and everyone was learning stereotypes." , this stereotyped essay is useful if it has fame, but it is useless if it does not have fame. Therefore, except for those who pass on poems and books to their families, the rest of the people can't see anything from this stereotyped art. Hope, then why do they want to learn? Besides, learning costs money. It is extremely difficult to support a scholar. No matter how much parents in the world love their children, it is impossible for them to pursue a dream for their children. For his fame and fame, he supported him to study hard. Ordinary people have no hope, so naturally, they have no hope for literacy and reading."

"But in Nantong Prefecture, it is a different scene. The academy here not only studies benevolence, righteousness, etiquette, and I am not saying that benevolence, righteousness, etiquette, and integrity are not important. I teach my disciples and always emphasize 'conscience' to them. Words, this conscience, are inseparable from people's virtues. But teaching these alone is not enough to make people willing to go to school. When you go to school, you should not learn stereotypes, but skills, such as poetry, engineering, agriculture, etc. Medicine, arithmetic, and when Confucius was around, he always emphasized the six arts of a gentleman. He believed that a gentleman should have a skill that can stand in the world before he can stand on the ground. Counting, but now, the world is different, so it is impossible to live with the past."

After a pause, Wang Shouren continued: "The knowledge learned in the school can give people a skill, so that these poor children can be freed from poverty and have a better way out. Rich and noble children, after learning Go, in the future, you can use this to revitalize your family business and shine on the lintel, then... As His Majesty said, among the parents in this world, who doesn't love their sons, and who is willing to let their children be mediocre like myself? Stereotypes are useless for them to learn, but the really useful knowledge can bring great benefits to their children, so why don't they flock to it, even if they sell everything, they will definitely support their children."

"I think this is hope. In the past dynasties, I have never given hope to the poor family, but I hope that I can educate them and let them know the honor and disgrace, but I don't know that the children of the poor family are the best at calculating and know the pros and cons. Let them sell everything and learn that useless thing, even if His Majesty holds a knife around their necks, they will not learn it. But if they learn something useful, they can save their children from their own harm in the future. If they are in trouble, they will lose their own lives. They don't need to be urged by the court repeatedly, and they don't need the encouragement of the local officials. They will naturally enter the school. This kind of education is like water control. It’s a matter of course.”
