Chapter 214 Founding a School

The fourth update, 2100 monthly ticket updates, please subscribe.

Under Zhang Chao's intention, his three-character scriptures were spreading rapidly in Chang'an City. These days, the Zhang family invited dozens of copywriters to copy them day and night, and at least thousands of three-character scriptures were copied. Just copying books cost hundreds of stagnant coins.

These new versions of the Three Character Classic, which were added to the rules of the Zhang family, were posted everywhere like a fee. Qin Qiong, Cheng Yaojin and other military meritorious nobles, Zheng Family, Cui Family, Wang Family, and other Shandong gentry mansions, and even many Beijing governments that had never been visited have not been left behind.

Qin Qiong, Cheng Yaojin, Shan Xiongxin, Luo Shixin, Niu Jinda, Yuchi Gong and other people received it.

Zheng Shanguo, Zheng Yuanshu, Cui Shanfu, Cui Mingan and other people also received it.

Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Changsun Wuji and others received it.

Pei Ji, Xiao Yu, Chen Shuda, Feng Deyi and other senior officials also received it from the mansions.

Wang Gui and Wei Zheng from the Eastern Palace also received it.

"Xuancheng, do you think this book is really written by Zhang Sanlang?" Prince Zhongyun Wang Gui and Prince Xi Ma Wei Zheng rode together, followed by a group of guards in the East Palace.

Wang Gui was in his early fifties and his ancestral home was Qixian County, Hedong. He was a child of the Wang family in Qixian County, one of the two major branches of the Wang family in Taiyuan. His grandfather was Wang Sengbian, the Minister of the Southern Liang Dynasty. He was a person who competed for the world with Chen Baxian back then.

When Wang Gui was Kaihuang, he joined the Sui Secretariat and became the Taichang Zhilian Lang. Later, because his uncle was the counselor of the Han King Yang Liang, who rebelled, and Wang Gui was implicated and fled to Zhongnan Mountain and lived in seclusion for more than ten years. After Li Yuan entered the pass, he served as the counselor of the crown prince's office, and then went to the crown prince's Zhongsheren, the crown prince Zhongyun, and became the crown prince's important confidant.

The prince Zhongyun is the left son of Zuochunfang, Zuo Er, and the fifth rank.

Wang Gui, who was in his early fifties, had experienced the great cause of the Emperor and the Martial Arts and virtues of the Emperor, but he found that he didn't understand this new colleague Zhang Wenyuan very well.

I heard before that the prince asked Zhang Wenyuan to enter the East Palace to wash horses. He was surprised and also carefully inquired about the young man who was rushing to the extreme.

But the news he heard only made him even more confused.

Zhang Sanlang used to be a little novice monk who followed the monks and had been living in Zhongnan Mountain for more than ten years. But Wang Gui had never heard of such a neighbor before, but this was nothing. After all, it was so chaotic at the end of the Sui Dynasty, and Zhongnan Mountain was so big.

But this Zang San only appeared in September this year, but in just three months, she had gone from a little novice monk who went down the mountain to a now dignified Wu'an County, where the prince washed his horse.

This change is amazing.

I heard that Zhang San is good at cooking, medical skills, and economics, but he never thought that this young man in his early twenties could write such a good book. A three-character classic and a family motto of Zhang made Wang Gui respect him as a god when he first saw it, but he never thought that this was actually written by Zhang Sanlang.

Wei Zheng smiled after hearing what his colleague said.

Wei Zheng is in his early forties and is ten years younger than Wang Gui. Both of them are officials in Zuochunfang, the Eastern Palace. The prince Wei Zheng is from the fifth rank, one level lower than Wang Gui.

But Wei Zheng was as trusted by the prince as Wang Gui, and was trusted by him.

Wei Zheng is from Hebei and his ancestors have also been an official, but his parents died early when he was young, so his family was poor since childhood. Later, he became a monk and became a Taoist priest. However, Wei Zheng, a Taoist priest, did not refine elixirs to seek immortality, but he read books all day long and thought about the success of things in troubled times.

At the end of his life, he became an official under the command of Yuan Baozang, the chief of Wuyang County. Later, Yuan Baozang raised an army to respond to Wagang. When Li Mi saw that Wei Zheng was very talented, he recruited him to the account. Li Mi was defeated and surrendered to the Tang Dynasty, and Wei Zheng also followed him to Guanzhong. Later, Li Mi defected, and Wei Zheng took the initiative to ask to go to Henan to appease Xu Shiji.

Afterwards, Dou Jiande attacked Li Shentong and Xu Shiji. Wei Zheng followed Xu Shiji and others and was captured by Dou Jiande. He was a residence hall under Dou Jiande for a while. After Li Shimin defeated Dou Jiande, Wei Zheng entered the Tang Dynasty again. After entering the Tang Dynasty, Li Jiancheng used him to wash the horses for the prince and respected him very much.

Compared to Wang Gui's suspicion of Zhang Chao, Wei Zheng believed in Zhang Chao more.

Being a monk is nothing. Since the Wei and Jin Dynasties, many monks and Taoist priests have been famous for their time, with many proficient poetry, songs, and even painting music. Some famous monks and Taoist monks are even proficient in Buddhist scriptures, but also proficient in Confucian scriptures.

Wei Zheng found it not surprising that a hidden monk, Master Sanzang, taught a disciple who was proficient in medical skills and cooking skills, could write the three-character scriptures and the rules of the Zhang family.

He himself became a Taoist priest, and he was also very literary and knowledgeable about the past and the present.

He has read the Three Character Classic and the Zhang family rules. They are all easy to understand, but they are hard to hide their talents. Wei Zheng is now very curious about the newly-educated prince Xima.

"Shujie, not everyone can write the Three Character Classic, let alone every word of the Zhang family rules. Zhang Sanlang is so brave that he dares not use it, right?"

Wang Gui couldn't help but smile.

"What Xuancheng said is that I also heard of several poems that urge makeup, but fanned the poems, which were very talented, and it is said that they were also written by Zhang Sanlang."

"It's too common for people who can write the Three Character Classic to write a few poems."

In Wei Zheng's eyes, poetry is just a small path, classic annotations, etc. are the great path. If you can write the three-character classic, then writing poetry is naturally no problem.

"This Zhang Sanlang, who was given the title of horse washing, was better for him. He took a long vacation and had not yet entered the Eastern Palace. He thought he was a newlywed and wanted to get along with his wife more. Unexpectedly, he wrote the Three Character Classic and the Zhang Family Rules, and built a Bailu Academy."

Wei Zheng felt that Zhang Chao would not take office, so he hid at home and wrote the Three Character Classics and the Zhang family rules, and then created a Bailu Academy. This matter was somewhat in line with Zhang Sanlang's style of conduct.

According to his understanding of Zhang San, Zhang Sanlang acted a little unrestrained and was not limited to one style. He could always do some unexpected things, such as the pasta and cooked food sold by his family, and the fact that he spent millions to buy Shilihuanggou, etc.

You can never guess exactly when Zhang Sanlang suddenly came up with something new.

He knows how to cook, has medical skills, and can also go deep into the enemy's acupoints to persuade the enemy to turn against each other with his perfect tongue. He can also think of improving cooking methods at home, make iron pot stir-frying and braised cooked food, and even surprisingly write good books like the Three Character Classic.

Wei Zheng felt that Zhang Sanlang was more free and easy than him, and he didn't care about his identity or even his career. After becoming a Ministry of Works, he did not care about the net at all after three days of fishing and two days of drying the net.

The prince transferred him to the East Palace and promoted to the fifth rank of Xima, and he even took a long vacation. Not only did he not take office for a day, he had not even visited the prince yet.

Such a person is not like a young man, he can see through everything like an immortal who has lived for hundreds of years.

"The entire Chang'an City is now talking about the Three Character Classic and Zhang Sanlang." Wang Gui sighed. Zhang Sanlang, a wonderful hand in Hebei, and entered the city alone to persuade the enemy to turn against him. These made him famous in Chang'an City for a while. Even Zhang Chao's wedding was a sensation.

But those things and those names are not enough to compare with today. Those stories and the lively moments will always fade away, but a Three-character Classic can become famous throughout the ages.

"Zhang Sanlang, another scholar in Chang'an."

Wei Zheng didn't find anything strange about Zhang Chao's reputation and Zhang Chao's among the famous scholars of the Tang Dynasty. Those gentry children could claim to be famous by writing two poems. The three characters Zhang Sanlang, or the rules of the Zhang family, were just as simple as it could make him famous all over the world. This name is a real talent and literary name.

"Shujie, what I admire most is Zhang Sanlang's calm heart. He is so honored and favored by the prince, and he even set up a college at home."

"With this Three Character Classic and the Bailu Academy, the Bailu Academy will become popular before it is opened, and it will inevitably become one of the most famous academies in Guanzhong, the Tang Dynasty." Wang Gui predicted.

"With a mountain leader like Zhang Sanlang and the motto that must be famous throughout the ages, it is hard not to be popular in Bailu Academy." Wei Zheng also said with a smile.

"We have to speed up, otherwise we will not be able to catch up with the opening ceremony of the Bailu Academy in a while." Wang Gui also smiled immediately.

Today, they came to congratulate the opening ceremony of the Bailu Academy on the order of the prince. A three-character classic and a school motto have made the Bailu Academy famous throughout Chang'an City.

Although the prince did not come in person, he also sent two important officials from the Eastern Palace to come.

We rushed to Bashang as we were close to Zhangjiagou. On the way, we could see groups of people rushing there. Whenever we asked, they said we were going to Zhangjiagou to watch the fun.

"I heard that there is a juggling team in Zhangjiagou today."

"There are also beautiful karaoke dancers."

Wang Gui and Wei Zheng looked at each other in a little. Why did Zhang Sanlang turn the opening ceremony of Bailu Academy into a big drama?

"This Zhang Sanlang is really unexpected everywhere."

There were more than five or six thousand people coming to the empty field in front of Zhangjiagou Village. Many of them came to visit the academy to start school, but more people just heard that there were lively juggling and beautiful sings and dancers here.

As more and more people were coming, almost all the villagers in Zhangjia Village joined the ranks of maintaining order. Seeing this, the county magistrate also asked the clerks below to summon a group of strong men from the village to come forward to maintain the order.

In the middle surrounded by everyone, a dirt platform has been built. The dirt platform is not very high, and the newly piled soil is covered with wooden boards, which is quite stylish.

A row of wooden stakes were also made around the table, and a large circle of open space was surrounded by ropes. There were many tables and chairs in this circle, which was the VIP seat today.

Butler Zhang's face turned red today with excitement. He was appointed by Zhang Chao as an important task of hosting the scene.

Standing on the earthen platform, Butler Zhang couldn't help but feel a little dry when he looked at the crowed head.

"Zhangjiagou Private School, no, Bashang Bailu Academy, the opening ceremony has officially begun. Now, guests such as Ningmin County Magistrate Yang Mingfu, County Magistrate Zhao Shaofu and other guests will be invited to enter the venue and take a seat."

Today, people are still uncomfortable and cannot write. Alas, there are not many manuscripts left. To be continued.
Chapter completed!
