Chapter 202 The Great Confucian
His Majesty Li Er stopped Ren Zhongliu's suggestion of moving a stool into the school, and stood outside with his hands folded, watching everything in the school through the bright glass.
What I have to say is that a 17-year-old child is teaching a group of children ranging from 7 to 8 years old to 12 or 13 years old. This scene is very inconsistent, and Fang Jun does not have any artistic temperament...
The furnishings in the school are different from most schools nowadays.
The long desk shared by several people has been eliminated, and instead a single high-legged desk is used. The students do not sit on the floor and kneel, but each student has a stool with a backrest. Sitting on it is very relaxed and avoids long hours. Poor blood circulation caused by kneeling and sitting.
Fang Jun did not sit on the floor and give lectures like ordinary private school teachers, but stood alone in front of a slightly wider high-legged desk, and behind him was a black-painted wooden board hanging on the wall.
Fang Jun smiled gently and asked, "Have you ever forgotten what you learned yesterday?"
The students answered loudly: "No!"
Fang Jun nodded in approval and said: "Very good! In that case, let's pick up the books and read aloud what we learned yesterday."
The students in the hall opened the books in front of them one after another, which surprised His Majesty Li Er again.
Everyone actually has a book?
This guy is really willing to spend money...
In this era, reading is a very luxurious thing, and it is not something you can read if you want to. The most direct reason is that books are too expensive!
Paper has not been improved. It is either extremely expensive rice paper or bamboo paper of extremely poor quality. Both of them are difficult to meet the widespread popularity of books. Because "copying books" has become a very elegant thing. In fact, it is more helpless and helpless. Since I can't afford it, I have to borrow it and copy it...
Another is the expensive cost and cumbersome process of engraving.
Why can aristocratic families have a monopoly on education, and almost all talents come from them, while few children from poor families can succeed?
The reason is that the cost of education is too high, and children from poorer families simply cannot afford it!
Education is monopolized by aristocratic families, producing talents from generation to generation, but children from poor families have no chance to read and read. How can they compete with those children from aristocratic families? As one goes and the other goes, aristocratic families are increasingly controlling social resources. Officials all over the world are motivated by this. Family friendships, marriages, alliances... They form powerful alliances one after another, safeguarding their own interests while abandoning the country. Regardless of interests.
They are so powerful that they ignore the decrees of the imperial court and even manipulate the results of court discussions!
Because almost all officials are their "own people"...
Since His Majesty Li Er ascended the throne, the stubborn diseases of the aristocratic families have become more and more obvious, which has directly led to the widening gap between the rich and the poor, serious land annexation, and increasingly acute social conflicts. His Majesty Li Er dreams of breaking down the stubborn barriers built by these aristocratic families and supporting the rise of poor scholars. Only in this way can the court and the world be balanced, instead of being dominated by aristocratic families.
Balance is the most perfect state.
But how easy is this?
The aristocratic families knew where their advantages lay. They tried their best to suppress the poor students, monopolized educational resources, and did not give the children of ordinary families the opportunity to study and study. If you don’t study, you can’t understand, how can you compete with them?
In fact, the most fundamental reason is that the cost of education is too high. It is so high that even the emperor cannot make everyone in the world study...
Therefore, when Fang Jun just said, "In Fangjiawan, the tallest, most spacious, and brightest house will always be the school!" His Majesty Li Er was very excited and agreed with this sentence. Fang Jun can With your own efforts, let the children in Fangjiawan have books to read and have great courage!
But when Fang Jun said another sentence, "No matter how hard it is, students cannot be punished, and no matter how poor, education cannot be poor," he was a little scornful. You can certainly say this for a mere Fangjiawan, but how much money would it cost for the entire Guanzhong and the entire Tang Dynasty?
Standing and talking doesn’t hurt your back!
However, now that every child has a book in his hands, His Majesty Li Er cannot but admire that this guy is really willing to spend money!
His Majesty Li Er was soaring in his thoughts, but was brought back to reality by the loud sound of reading in the school.
"In the beginning, human beings are inherently good by nature, similar in nature, but far apart in habits. If you don't teach, your nature will change. The most important thing to teach is to be specialized..."
His Majesty Li Er was a little confused: "What kind of book is this?"
Not only can he strategize and command thousands of troops, but he can also mount a horse and charge into battle. He is also familiar with classics and history. However, after thinking about it, he can't think of any book that contains such a passage.
Three words and one sentence, all rhyming together, it is catchy to read, the language is popular, smooth and easy to remember, and it also contains the truth...
How could I not have any impression?
Could it be...
His Majesty Li Er looked at Ren Zhongliu behind him.
Ren Zhongliu naturally understood what he meant, smiled slightly, and said proudly: "As your Majesty thought, this "Three Character Classic" was written by Fang Shilang."
"Will there be a book?"
His Majesty Li Er's eyes were burning.
"Of course, Your Majesty, please wait a moment." Ren Zhongliu excused himself and left, going to the office room next to him. After a while, he took out a pile of bound books and gave one to His Majesty Li Er. Princess Gaoyang asked for one. The rest were given to Li Junxian: "Take it back and give it to the children of the clan, and read it. It is a very good enlightenment book."
Li Junxian didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Although he was also very curious about what this book was about, he was on duty, so how could he carry a pile of books everywhere?
"Can I ask Ren to send me to a certain mansion?"
"Oh!" Ren Zhongliu slapped his forehead and said apologetically: "I forgot that General Li is on duty. No problem. I will send someone to the general later."
Li Junxian said gratefully: "Thank you very much."
His Majesty Li Er stood outside the school, holding a book in his hand. The more he read, the more frightened he became, and the more he read, the more admired he became! Turning to the end, it ends abruptly when "Tang Gaozu, the rebel leader, eliminated the rebellion of the Sui Dynasty and established the foundation of the country", which is quite unfinished.
This "Three Character Classic" is easy to understand and draws on classic materials, including literature, history, philosophy, astronomy and geography, human ethics, loyalty, filial piety, justice, etc., and the core ideas include "benevolence, righteousness, sincerity, respect, and filial piety." Children While reciting the "Three Character Classic" for enlightenment, you will understand common sense, traditional Chinese studies and historical stories, as well as the principles of life and doing things contained in the stories.
The sentences are short, concise and catchy.
Is this made by a coward who has never studied?
This is simply the level of a great Confucian! Even among those well-known scholars, probably few can write such a book!
So shocking!
His Majesty Li Er can almost guarantee that once this book is published, it will become popular all over the world and become the best book for children's enlightenment!
By then, Fang Jun's name will also be well-known to every household, and he will be able to earn the title of "Great Confucian"!
Is this kid really a genius?
Or do you know it from birth?
Half an hour passed by in an instant. Even the most noisy Princess Gaoyang was unusually quiet. She stood obediently beside His Majesty Li Er, reading the "Three Character Classic" carefully, and occasionally glanced at the room where Fang Qiu was scolding Fang Qiu in the school. Jun......
When Fang Jun finished his lecture, His Majesty Li Er raised the book in his hand and asked: "Is this the book that I said I would give as a gift to you earlier? It is indeed good, I am very satisfied!"
Fang Jun was startled and said quickly: "Your Majesty has misunderstood..."
Are you kidding me?
Just point to this "must-have artifact before traveling through the Tang Dynasty" to gain prestige and achieve your own reputation. How can I give it to you in vain?
Why don’t you give it to a prince?
When Princess Gaoyang saw that Fang Jun was ignoring her, she frowned and said sarcastically: "I don't know how to praise!"
Fang Jun didn't dare to talk to her, because almost every time the villains ended up in a quarrel, he was bullying his daughter in front of His Majesty Li Er, and with His Majesty Li Er's protective character, he might get beaten...
"Your Majesty, please follow me."
Fang Jun led His Majesty Li Er and others around the school and into a small courtyard on the hillside.
Fang Quan, the steward of Zhuangzi, was leading a few craftsmen to tinker with something in a pond. He used a few short and thick wooden sticks to pound the contents in the pond into a sticky paste. When he saw Fang Jun, he hurriedly came over to greet him.
"Erlang, have you just finished class? Oh, there are still guests here! Please come in and sit down for a while, and bring the little ones to make a pot of tea for you. We just arrived at the Yuqian Longjing, and you are so lucky!"
Now Fangquan has more than 2,000 people under his jurisdiction, which is more impressive than the magistrate of a lower county, and his whole spirit is different...
Preoccupied with showing off, he ignored Fang Jun's blinking eyes that were almost convulsing. When he noticed it, he was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized, he quickly made up for it: "Ah! This... the tea is good tea, but it's a pity. , this amount is too small, only a dozen...seven or eight...two or three kilograms? Ahem, it's only two or three kilograms, but it's a little too little to give away..."
< br>
Fang Jun glanced at him. Fortunately, he reacted quickly enough and didn't see a big Pixiu behind him who wanted to take all the good things home and couldn't eat anything?
His Majesty Li Er unexpectedly kicked this guy from behind and said in a cold voice: "You're such a coward and you've learned to be stingy? You're getting more and more worthless! When you leave, bring the tea to someone!"
Fang Jun was almost heartbroken. He didn't dare to be dissatisfied with His Majesty, so he could only glare at Fang Quan fiercely.
This Mingqian tea is picked before the Qingming Festival. It is less infested by insects, has tender buds and leaves, green color and fragrant aroma, and has a mellow taste and beautiful shape. It is the best tea. At the same time, due to the generally low temperature before the Qingming Festival, the number of sprouts is limited, the growth rate is slow, and the yield that can meet the picking standards is very small. Even in the later generations when tea gardens are everywhere, there is a saying that "tea before the Qingming Festival is as valuable as gold."
Not to mention that the tea gardens in Hangzhou were extremely small at this time, and the output was even less.
Today I was beaten by His Majesty Li Er...
Fang Quan saw this person kicking his Erlang very naturally. The gesture was very casual, and it was obviously not the first time... What made him even more stunned was that Erlang, who had always had a bad temper, didn't even look displeased... …
Who can make our Erlang so afraid?
Changsun Wuji, Cheng Yaojin, Yuchi Jingde, Li Ji... I'm afraid even my husband's husband can't do it!
There is only one person in this world - His Majesty the current emperor!
Fang Quan's calves are a little sprained, Emperor...
Fang Jun ignored this old man who was so complacent that he had lost all his wealth, and led His Majesty Li Er straight into the main room.
Rather than saying it is a main house, it is more appropriate to say it is a workshop.
As soon as he entered the door, Fang Jun showed his latest scientific research results to His Majesty Li Er——
Countless square lead blocks are densely placed in the hall, with exquisite workmanship and neat stacking.
Each lead block is cast with an inverted character.
Fang Jun waved his hand and said proudly: "This is the super gift package that I want to give to Your Majesty - printing!" (End of this chapter)
