Chapter 1033 Family Affairs and Study
On the Double Ninth Festival, Empress Yu Wenjun of Daliang finally couldn't bear it any longer and took the opportunity to go out to climb mountains for fun and went to the Liang Mansion in the west of the city.
The emperor and the queen both arrived, and of course no one dared to stop them.
"Liang Qing's orchard is well-kept." Shao Xun pretended to pick up a pear, washed it and gnawed it.
"If your Majesty had come here a few days later, it would have been gone." Liang Fen said with a smile, and then sighed with emotion: "Ten acres of thin fields, several acres of orchards, and dozens of mulberry trees were all cultivated bit by bit in my spare time."
While talking, Liang Fen always looked inside worriedly.
Shao Xun saw him like that and stopped talking.
The two of them stared at each other, worried.
Shao Xun could only find something to say, and said: "Years ago, all the officials from all the counties in the world will come to Beijing. I have ordered all the officials to gather at Guangcheng Zesuyu Palace. This year's New Year's Day greetings will be placed there. There will be more people at that time Some celebrities and wealthy businessmen are attending the meeting. I want to have a chat with them to discuss the state affairs. What do you think of Liang Qing? ”
"In the later Han Dynasty, the emperor often played in the water and lectured on martial arts in Guangcheng Garden. It's okay." Liang Fen said: "That place is your Majesty's place of Longxing. You should go back and take a look."
Suyu Palace is large in scale and was built under the supervision of Shao Xun when he was a general. Later, Sima Chi, Emperor Xi of Jin Dynasty, gave it to his sister Sima Xiu. In the Jin and Liang Zen dynasties, Sima Xiu was still given a coat, which shows that the emperor of the new dynasty was more virtuous and cared for the orphans and widows of the previous dynasty.
Sima Mao was already quite old and lived in Suyu Palace most of the year. Occasionally, Sima Pi, Sima Li, Sima Que (who had been promoted to the prefect of Xiangcheng) and others came to visit.
After winter comes, I go to Guangcheng Palace where Yang Xianrong lived for a few days, soak in warm soup and eat some fruits and vegetables that are rare in winter. In the remaining days, he would go on an outing with the old and young people from the former dynasty in Guangchengze, go hiking to enjoy the autumn, or even come to Luoyang to live for more than a month. He lived a relatively comfortable life, so he was in good health.
Shao Xun also wanted to see her.
He now likes fresh and young bodies, but it doesn't seem right to ignore these old people at all.
Of course, the meeting is the main thing, and everything else is secondary.
"Why doesn't Liang Qing manage the property?" Shao Xun looked at the house that he might have picked up and asked.
"For most of my life, I only had one daughter and one grandson. The daughter is unfilial and the grandson is weak. Who will manage the property?" Liang Fen said in a calm tone.
"I can give you some money, food, and slaves." Shao Xun said.
Liang Fen sighed and said: "I don't dare to accept this reward without merit."
Shao Xun was waiting to say something more when he heard a jingle of rings and Yu Wenjun had already walked over.
Liang Fen bowed and drifted away.
Yu Wenjun said mysteriously: "Husband, what did I find? Sister Liang is pregnant and has given birth just a few days ago."
Shao Xun was shocked, but his expression remained unchanged. He glanced at Yu Wenjun and asked, "Whose son is this?"
"It is said that he was a scholar from Xizhou. My sister had a good relationship with him in his early years, and was later forced to marry King Yuzhang." Yu Wenjun said: "This man is so courageous that even the queens of the previous dynasty dared to get involved. I heard that he fell ill a few months ago. He is dead, probably—”
At the end of the sentence, Yu Wenjun hesitated a little, but in the end he didn't say anything bad. He just glanced at Shao Xun and said, "This boy is a little thin and weak. He is very pitiful."
Shao Xun was a little worried in his heart and wished he could go see his baby now, but he stood still with his feet still and sighed: "Giving birth at eight months will indeed make you weak. How about giving him some nourishing food?"< br>
Yu Wenjun looked at Shao Xun and said, "I have assigned this matter to you. My husband, you never cared about such trivial matters before."
"Liang Qing is diligent in governing the country, so I should show good care to his family." After finishing speaking, Shao Xun hugged Yu Wenjun and said, "The period of Qi Zang's longevity has passed long ago, and I want to harm the Queen."
Yu Wenjun blushed, looked into Shao Xun's eyes again, and said: "You used to call me Wenjun, do you just like the queen? Empress Liu Han, Tuoba Dai Kedun, and the empress of the former Jin Dynasty..."< br>
"It's nonsense." Shao Xun hugged Yu Wenjun tightly and whispered in her ear: "I love Empress Daliang alone, and I have loved her for twenty years."
The suspicion in Yu Wenjun's eyes gradually faded, and his face turned redder.
"Fu Bao is nineteen this year, and it's time to get married. It's not good to keep delaying it. Do you have a candidate for your husband?" Yu Wenjun held Shao Xun's hand and said softly while walking in the autumn orchard.
"When I go to Suyu Palace this winter, there will be many people coming, many of whom are young and handsome." Shao Xun said, "Let the Fu Bao choose by herself, and she will choose whoever she likes. My daughter, there is no need to wrong yourself."< br>
"Fu Bao doesn't like weak people." Yu Wenjun chuckled: "She said it's better to have a strong mind, be well-read, skilled in bow and horse, and good-looking."
"The requirements are so high?" Shao Xun took a breath of air.
"It's just an ordinary family. To have the eldest daughter of the emperor Tang Muyi, is this too much to ask for?" Yu Wenjun covered his mouth and said with a smile.
Fu Bao had no food, because she had been begging Shao Xun to reward her with Pingyang Shanglin Garden as Tang Muyi.
But Shanglinyuan is too big. Although it is mostly mountains, it is too big to go back for more than 200 miles. Shao Xun refused, and finally decided to lower it "a little": Cijing Fuyuan (the former site of Xuchang Palace) and the nearby grassland, 200 miles back. Yuli.
From an economic point of view, it is not as good as a food town, but this land is a garden under the name of the Shaofu. It has river ponds, bamboo gardens, farmland, orchards, vegetable patches, mulberry forests, pastures, and even houses and watersheds are ready-made. Yes, it’s not bad to make the decision entirely by yourself and give another three hundred to the farmer.
In the future, if she sends people to the south of the Yangtze River to open up barren mountains and build manors, Shao Xun will also provide financial, food and manpower support.
With such capital, coupled with Fu Bao's appearance, he can be regarded as above-average, he can get both people and wealth, and his career can be rocketed, so what if the requirements are high? "I will let people spread the news." Seeing that Shao Xun did not object, Yu Wenjun said: "When the noble lady in the capital heard about it, she must tell her father, brother, and husband to spread the news immediately. Next month, the whole Henan will know, and the winter months in Hebei I will know everything.”
"A bunch of talkative women." Shao Xun laughed and cursed.
"Isn't it true that my husband is so powerful that he can shine in all directions?" Yu Wenjun said with a smile: "If she were a princess of the Jin Dynasty, the young handsome man would probably have to run away quickly."
Shao Xun laughed.
These words made him feel happy. Whether a court is orthodox or not, and whether the Tian family has great prestige, will naturally be reflected in all aspects.
******
On the tenth day of September, Shao Xun came to Taixue in the south of the city again.
Before the founding of the People's Republic of China, he was reorganizing Taixue.
After the Zen Dynasty of Liang and Jin Dynasty, students were officially admitted and the school started in early February this year.
Because of the rush of time, there were not many students in the first batch, only a hundred people.
Even though he tried his best to take care of it, the hundreds of people enrolled were still mainly scholars, plus some warriors and children of wealthy businessmen.
Please...you...Collect_6Ⅰ9ⅠBookⅠ(Six\\\Nine\\\Book\\\!)
Taixue is not a primary education. In fact, it has a certain entrance threshold. These hundred people were admitted after screening and were collectively called "disciples".
You can take the exam (examination) two years after you enter school. It’s less than a year now, so naturally it’s not the exam season.
Taixue tried the Five Classics at most, but the content of the study was far more than the Five Classics. In fact, there were more than ten books. Traditional classics such as poems, books, etiquette and the Yi were not very popular among people at that time - the "Yi" may be an exception.
Because being an official at that time, the most important thing was family background and reputation.
Family background is innate and cannot be changed, but reputation is acquired and can be manipulated.
There are two main opportunities to become famous.
One is the well-known veteran commentator, which is more or less linked to family background;
The second is that the talk party becomes popular immediately and is praised and promoted by others, or it slowly becomes popular through long-term management of the persona.
The second method has much lower family background requirements, and ordinary nobles or children from poor families may also take this path.
But in casual gatherings, talking about Confucian classics will not make you popular. The mainstream ideology is also disgusted with Confucian things. They are closer to "relaxation," "nature," and "true temperament," that is, "go beyond the famous teachings and let nature take its course." , exploring the meaning of life, mysterious and mysterious.
Therefore, Confucian scholars strongly criticized this ideology because their status had been reduced too much and they were completely suppressed.
By the time of the Northern and Southern Dynasties in history, Confucian scholars would still vigorously criticize Buddhism and Taoism, because the craze for metaphysics had passed and the craze for Buddhism and Taoism had risen again, but Confucianism was still suppressed.
I don’t know what’s wrong with the children of the gentry, but most people just don’t like Confucianism, no matter whether they have studied it or not, no matter whether they are in the south or the north.
Shao Xun felt that after struggling for half his life, his prestige and fame were increasing day by day, and he could be considered a "well-known veteran". Maybe he could guide something through comments.
He thinks this form of gathering is very good, and there is no need to ban it, as long as the topics are more serious.
He is best at adapting to local conditions.
After results are achieved in this area, Taixue's teaching materials can be replaced, since students don't like to read them anyway.
As for basic education at the county and county levels, it is currently only promoted in areas inhabited by Hu people, such as Kelan, Pingyang, Xihe, Yanmen, Shangdang, and the counties on the other side of the river such as Shang, Diaoyin, and Xinqin. Each has a county, A county doctor, teaching twenty or thirty students.
It is absolutely impossible to promote it nationwide. If we do not meet this condition and cannot afford the price, we can only do it step by step.
On September 15, Shao Xun ordered the establishment of a Guozi school in Bianliang.
Unlike Taixue, which is open to all classes, Guozixue only recruits the children of noble officials, including the nephews and nephews of government officials, as long as they have a letter of recommendation.
The academic system is similar to that of Taixue, and there will be no major changes for the time being. The time is not yet ripe.
For the Shaw Dynasty, the foundation is still nobility, not gentry.
There may be some overlap between the two, but they are two concepts after all.
What he needs to do now is to protect Taixue and Guozixue so that these two new ways of selecting officials can be passed down steadily.
Compared with the ninth-grade official law, the imperial examination system of Taixue and Guozixue was still somewhat advanced. What he had to do was not to let it become a decoration. After all, this was the case in the Wei and Jin dynasties.
For now, scholars are not likely to oppose this system. Because it is the old system of Wei and Jin Dynasties, the degree of resistance is relatively small. In addition, the knowledge of ordinary people is completely inferior to them, and the quota of "disciples" is allocated. If it is less, the nobles will not feel a sense of crisis for the time being.
This kind of reform is relatively relaxed and pleasant, because it doesn't even reach the point of seeing the end of the world.
