Two hundred and fifty-eighth chapter [Hundreds of struggle]

The weather is so good. After the Chinese New Year, the girl Chun came with her green skirt dancing. She was so cold that she couldn't get out of her hands a few days ago, but the weather became warm in the blink of an eye. Now the fire kang in the Bai family is no longer burning, it's too hot, and Bai Yue almost burst into nosebleeds.

Only more than a month before spring plowing, a new type of agricultural tool called "gongshu Plough" is being quietly spread from Lao Qin. It is simple to manufacture, saves animal power and manpower, and will like it as soon as you take a look at it. Now it has even been passed on to a marginal power like Chu, and some people have even taken it to Bashu.

There are still capable people in Gongshu. Now the road to Shuzhong is not something that people can walk on. There are not only poisonous snakes and beasts on the road, but also humming compatriots and savages. It is hard to say whether there are any cannibal tribes. Bai Dong has heard of the story of the Taurus Scheme and the Beauty Scheme. This is the feat of the little baby Ying Si. Some people say that he used the Beauty Scheme to deceive the King of Shu in the future, and sent five strong men to dig the mountain road. Some people say that he used a Taurus Scheme that could suck the King of Shu by himself. Who knows that there is no way to prove it now.

The most convenient way to enter Shu is to do business and detour the Chu State; the children of Gongshu are extremely experienced in traveling around the world, so they will naturally come up with the shortest route. Bai Dong just didn't expect that the children of Gongshu would collide with Xu Xing, a farmer in Bashu.

After asking the true inventor of Gongshuo Plough, this Master, who devoted his life to promoting agricultural affairs and thought that the principle that the world had enough food would be without dispute, he admired Bai Dong even more. The farmer was the purest, and he knew that the more advanced the farm tools, the more grain it harvested, the better. He did not understand the terrible terror of the grain in later generations. Naturally, he could not guess Bai Dong's true intention.

Xu Xing came to Liyang with the children of Gongshu. Before him, Master Yan Jian and Shen arrived, Master Meng and others had arrived. In the pre-Qin period, the Masters were inconvenient. Although the Masters had long heard of the name of Fengming Academy, they had never seen it with their own eyes. This time, except for Old Yan Jian, who had been to Lao Qin for "on-site investigation", he brought a bedding scroll. Meng Ke and Shen said that they still had the idea of ​​taking a look first.

Everyone came to Bai Dong's name and wanted to get close to this wise man who independently invented new characters. But no one knew what the atmosphere of Fengming Academy was. What is the teaching environment? Can it accommodate the theories of hundreds of schools? When a hundred schools of thought meet, they like to argue with each other. Which one will the students learn in the future? The Legalists can quickly strengthen the country, but unfortunately they all taught people who pursue profit and cool people; Confucianism teaches benevolence and righteousness, but few domineering methods; the craftsmen are clever but not political affairs, and they still lack the foundation; the farmers are still uncontested, but you can't only know how to farm? I just don't know what Bai Zi thought.

Bai Dong seemed to have no concerns from all the masters. After meeting them, he was not in a hurry to talk about the future division of the hundreds of schools of thought. Even the enrollment test questions that the masters were most concerned about were not mentioned. The first thing was to arrange their residence.

Lao Yan Jian and the others thought they were going to stay in the courtyard, but when they met Bai Dong, they realized that the only students were staying in the courtyard. What they had obtained was a villa, which was just outside the academy, not called a palace, but was called a "villa" by Bai Dong.

Wonderful, this word "视" is the best used. The soil in the wild is not hustle and bustle, but it is quiet and quiet. Walking into these single-family buildings, you will see the solid wood floors laid on the ground, the light colored walls and tiles, and the bright Baishi windows with a good view. And when you open the window, you can see the fragrant grass outside. Just after the Yuan Dynasty and the beginning of spring, you will see the green wood growing?

Looking at the new buds thrust on the willow tree outside the window, Lao Yan Jian shook his head and wanted to recite a new poem. Unfortunately, his lifelong effort was spent on the classics and was not familiar with the new poems. He couldn't recite it for a while, and his face turned red. Fortunately, his grandson saved the scene. He recited a very average oil poem, which made the scholars laugh. Just when he was about to recommend Bai Dong to give one, the wine sent by the Bai family quickly arrived. The wine was about to be fine wine of about twenty degrees, and the food was unique. A portion of malt sugar pulled into the river and lotus root made everyone laugh. Meng Kewensi was the fastest and immediately gave the name "Dushidao" for this dish.

After eating the Bai family's meals, Confucian disciples who have always pursued the pursuit of "eating fine meat and fine meat" must also praise them. From Confucius' generation, Confucianism has never called for frugality. Wearing straw sandals and cloth clothes was a thing of the Mohist family, and they were despised by great scholars back then.

What is ritual? Food and fish are rituals and carriages are rituals. The Qingxi water drawn by bamboo tubes in Fengming Villa and the thing called "flush toilet" are rituals. It completely solves the indecent problem of famous scholars who have to scoop water in the water tank and squat on the pit and wipe their butts with bamboo chips. Look at how thoughtful Bai Zi is? Not only did he set up the bathroom alone in the room, but even clean the toilet after the toilet. Moreover, the tray paper is different from what is sold on the market. It is soft and fragrant. Not to mention serving the buttocks, it is better to wipe the mouth even if it is used. Meng Ke wiped a fish five or six times, which made Xu Xing stare at him. The farmer and the Mo family are the closest to the school, and they are both schools that advocate frugality, but they can't stand this style.

What satisfied all the scholars most was Lao Qin's attitude. At the "Welfare Works Meeting", Ying Quliang and Taima Li Jiang both arrived. It would be fine if it was just Ying Quliang. Taima Li Jiang is a special figure of Lao Qin, and her appearance represents the old Lao Yinglian.

This is the face of the two generations of monarchs. Moreover, when we met Ying Quliang, we did not sit together like the kings of other countries. When the king was on the table, everyone sat on the same white round table, without having to share wine and dishes, and everyone's food was mixed in the same bowl. This novel way of eating together made the scholars feel a sense of "at home" intimacy, and suddenly it became less strange. Everyone was talking and laughing, as if they were reunited with relatives. Who said that this lady was the rare Si Chen hen in history? Isn't this a woman next door? And she was also a beautiful woman...

Li Jiang also seems to like this kind of banquet. People all say that she is arbitrary and a woman who is not easy to deal with. If the world wants people to change their views on her, the first thing is to change the world's academic sect to make changes to her. Now it seems that the effect is very good.

Looking at Bai Dong, Li Jiang felt very proud. The female dean of the No. 1 Academy of Qin is more likely to become the female dean of the No. 1 Academy in the future. Do you think that wild girl can succeed?

As a daughter-in-law, she still has to give in to her mother-in-law. With her efforts, Bu Rongyi's dream of being a dean was shattered and she took Xiao Yingsi back in anger. Li Jiang thought she was a winner now, and since the banquet started, she had been looking at Bai Dong with the winner's smile. She was about to carry forward her victory and let this boy know that the first person who would think of such a good thing in the future is the Madam, not the Madam of the Country.

"My teacher Confucius once said that those who teach should have the heart of the world and cultivate talents in the world. I pity our Confucians, but we never thought that women should be taught. In the past, although there were daughters from the noble family who had obtained literature, they were only learned from family. Fengming Academy was willing to recruit female students in the world first. This is the original intention of "to do all the teachings of the world, and there is no difference in teachings"... I am ashamed, my Confucian disciples were snatched away by your kid. I should punish you two cups, and I respect the Grandma and your kid. With Grandma as the head of the academy, this move will definitely guide the Tianxia Academy so that all the women who are learning in the world can get the teachings, which is really a great kindness..."

"Master Yan, you should drink less. It's better to respect you, just drink one drink."

Bai Dong looked at Lao Yan Jian with laughter and tears, thinking to himself, don’t you just want to drink a few more glasses of my house? This is a ‘high wine’ of over 20 degrees. You are already in your 90s, so how can you drink so much?

"No, if you want to drink, you have to drink. How can you not drink alcohol? You kid are feeling distressed?"

Old Yan Jian glared back when he wanted to persuade his son and grandson. He drank two big glasses in a row, and had more than two taels of wine. He was not blushing and was not dazzled. He touched the corner of his mouth and said, "Although your kid has a good idea, both this woman and a man can enter school. How should he take the same exam method? Even women from a noble family have far less books than men. If the exam questions are average, it is unfair to these female students. According to me, it should be divided into two categories: "male test" and "female test".

"The test for men and women is easy to solve, and the content of the entrance examination questions is the key..."

Shen Dao looked at Wei Yang, who had been silent since the banquet: "Is it based on the Legalist topic, or Confucianism, military sect, Mohist, or even farmer? Fengming Academy is not as controversial as Jixia Academy. Students come to school, not to argue. According to Master Ben, they should be based on one theory, and the hundred theory is only for the benefit of the hundreds of schools. Just like Wu Qi back then, although he was born in Confucianism, he had military sects and the ability of the Legalists, but his real foundation is still in the military and legal schools. Wei Zi is the leader of the admissions department of the academy. I wonder what you think?"

"Shenzi is a interesting person. Weizi is a Legalist. Will he support other families? The academy wants to teach students, not officials in the court. It is better to take my Confucianism. As Shenzi said, Wu Qi takes military affairs as a war and governs with Legalism as a means, but his foundation lies in my Confucianism. The academy students should do this. If there is no Confucianism, benevolence and righteousness, I am afraid that if I have all the means, I will take the wrong path..."

Old Yan Jian and Meng Ke have always been steady, so naturally they don’t want to argue with Shen Dao at this time. Qi Diaojian is like a fire. He doesn’t care about Ying Quliang and Li Jiang sitting there, and immediately objected.

"Haha, if Confucian education is useful, why are there still disputes in the world? Since the three families divided Jin and Tian family replaced Qi, various countries have successively reformed the law. All the people they use are famous scholars of my Legalism. Why didn't anyone ask for a Confucian master?" Wei Yang could not help but join the debate.

ps: Sometimes when I think about writing more words, I will become verbose, that is, "water". When I am modifying this chapter today, I find a lot of words that can be deleted. You may not believe it. It was originally nearly five thousand words, but I deleted more than a thousand... Light and darkness is not about sticking gold on my face, but just to alert myself... (To be continued...)
Chapter completed!
