206. Mobilize the masses (a very, very long chapter)(1/2)
After Wang Qilin came back from the meeting, he felt something was wrong with Heidou looking at him.
He asked, "What's wrong with you? What's the look of this?"
Heidou gave him a contemptuous squint: "Uncle, you are not really powerful, you are not powerful at all!"
Wang Qilin was a little overwhelmed: "What do you mean by saying this? Have you drunk? Have you got drunk? Have you got itchy butt and want to be beaten?"
Hei Dou stood up and said loudly: "You are not invincible at all!"
Wang Qilin asked, "You just want to get beaten, right?"
Hei Dou shrank his neck back and asked, "Then are you invincible in the world?"
Wang Qilin said, "I'm not."
Hei Dou was very angry: "Then why did you beat me?"
Wang Qilin said: "Then can you beat me?"
Hei Dou said, "I can't beat it."
Wang Qilin asked coldly: "Then why did you mess with me?"
Black bean blinked and stopped talking.
Wang Qilin sat beside him and asked, "Zhugulidou, are you very idle and bored recently?"
Hei Dou said, "Yes."
He has been bored for a long time, and since he met his uncle, there have been no children to play with.
Wang Qilin suggested: "This way, I'll send you to a fun place where you can make friends, learn the skills to eat in the future, and have plenty of time there every day. Not only will you not be bored, but you will also feel that you don't have enough time!"
Hei Dou nodded quickly: "Okay, okay, are you talking about this in heaven? Why is it so good?"
Wang Qilin smiled slightly: "No, I'm talking about official schools!"
There are two types of teaching and learning in the New Han Dynasty, one is official school and the other is private school.
Most of the teachers in official schools are scholars sent by the court, and their teaching is more serious and rigorous, because the educated children are their own disciples and have the opportunity to become officials in the future. Once officials or famous scholars are found under their command, they will be honored.
The educational level of private schools is mixed. Excellent private schools are local literati hired at high prices. Ordinary private schools can find a literate person to teach their children to study. The latter is just an enlightenment education. As long as their children can write names and recognize numbers, they will not be able to sign and seal them when they are arrested by the government in the future.
Those who have the conditions will send them to the official school, but there is no saying that school districts are in the new Han Dynasty. Selecting students in the official school depends on their talent and the recommender.
Therefore, in this era, the class barriers were tight, and scholars were born with the opportunity to study. The children of rural people did not even have the opportunity to introduce them unless they had the money to make friends with scholars. How could they study?
Wang Qilin is a real-powered official in the county, so he naturally has to send his juniors to the official school. The chief principal of the county's official school is the teacher Meng Zhongxian.
The relationship between them is average, Meng Zhongxian is the confidant of Li Ying's faction, but he wants to send his nephew to school, so Meng Zhongxian will never dare to refuse.
Power suppression.
When Wang Qiaoniang learned that her younger brother was going to send her son to school, she was excited and asked, "Xiaoqi, is it a little early?"
Heidou hurriedly shouted: "It's not too early, I'm going to go to school, I'm going to go to school!"
There are many friends there, where you can learn the ability to have enough food in the future. It is not boring, it is where the gods live!
Wang Qiaoniang's thirsty attitude made her eyes wet with her son. She hugged her son and said, "Okay, okay, Dou grows up and is going to study."
Hei Dou: "Wait, don't you go to school? Why do you still have to study?"
He suddenly felt a little panicked.
Wang Qiaoniang didn't take his words to heart, so she first changed him into a new jacket, changed him into a new shorts and shoes, washed his hair and face, and finally spitted into her palm, stroking him like a calf's tail that had been licked by an old cow.
She happened to make a new green shirt for Wang Qilin, so she asked him to put it on, muttering: "Go to Confucius' place to be solemn, Xiaoqi, go and wash your face again. The weather is hot now, you see that your face is oily."
Wang Qilin thought about it and took away the Qingshan and changed his official uniform.
He is the seal of the Tendering School. This identity is very powerful to the outside world, but it is not a good thing for the child.
If he wants Heidou to make friends, he cannot reveal his identity.
Otherwise, either some parents want to make friends with them and let their children approach Black Bean, or some parents are afraid of their identities and not let their children approach Black Bean.
In addition, children like to form cliques, and their identities are related to ghosts and gods. This will create a lot of rumors for children, and they are prone to exclusion of black beans because of this.
The uncle and nephew were completely renewed, and then they took a bag of pastries to the study.
The study room is not so much an official school, but a kindergarten in the New Han Dynasty. It bears the responsibility of enlightenment education. It learns until it is seven or eight years old before it is sent to do formal studies. At this time, it is officially considered a child.
The lower study room of the official family is in the west city of the inner city. There is a school club with a strong learning atmosphere. Those living here are those who are knowledgeable or famous. Ordinary people cannot live in. Many families want to buy a house for the atmosphere here, but they can't buy it at all. They can't afford to have money.
Although the business was already booming at this time, scholars were arrogant and still looked down on businessmen.
So when the Li family got rich, they sent Li Ying to study and then became an official.
For ordinary people, becoming an official is always the best way out.
After the meeting of all the staff, the yamen invited all the officials to go to Dingshenglou for a meal. In this way, Wang Qilin brought black beans to the study room in the afternoon. At this time, it happened that the parents were sending students to school, and there were people coming and going, which was very lively.
However, most of the ones sent to study are older children, and the youngest ones must be five or six years old. Few people like Heidou are over three or four years old. Occasionally, they see a fool with a snot and a dull look.
Wang Qilin always felt that Heidou was a stupid child. Today, he realized how clever Black Dou was after seeing someone’s three or four-year-old child.
Those children are simply born with a dull force. Some of the stupid force makes him mistakenly think that he was scared by a ghost and lost his soul. He subconsciously wants to shout for his soul to his child.
This is an occupational disease.
There is a unique courtyard in the study room, and an old man who is guarding the door is shaking his head with a book.
Wang Qilin knocked on the door and said, "The old man is polite. Who is in charge of school here? I want to send my child to school, what should I do?"
The old man looked at him from head to toe and said, "It's Dr. Meng who manages academic research. If you want to send your child into the study, you have to get his consent."
Wang Qilin asked, "How can Dr. Meng go?"
The old man put down the book and asked, "I'll ask you, do you have fame and fortune?"
"I have never had any fame and fortune."
"Where did you go to school?"
“I haven’t been there.”
The old man shook his head and said, "Then I advise you to die. Your child cannot enter the official school. You can find a private school to let him study. But he is still young, so you don't have to worry. You can wait ten or eight years before sending him to read the text and write."
Wang Qilin smiled. He regarded himself as a nouveau riche from the countryside. He said, "Thank you for your advice, but I still want to meet Dr. Meng. Oh, please accept this."
He understood the truth that the King of Hell could not understand when he saw the little ghost, so he took out a silver baht from his arms and handed it to the old man.
The old man's face turned red, and he said, "Kong said, Chengren Meng said, "She said, "She said, "There are words from all men, and money is like dirt, and benevolence and righteousness are worth a thousand gold."
Wang Qilin asked, "But money is like dirt, and that a thousand gold is also dirt? Such kindness and righteousness are worth a thousand gold. Doesn't it mean that benevolence and righteousness are no different from dirt?"
A middle-aged man dressed as a scholar came in with a book in his arms. When he heard the words of the two, he laughed and said to Wang Qilin: "You young man is really interesting, but you are sophistry, you are bullying our gatekeeper and not good at speaking."
Wang Qilin apologized with fists.
The middle-aged man asked them what was going on. After he figured it out, he took away the silver zhu and said, "You are not good at studying, you have said that wealth and honor are what people want. If you don't get it by your way, you won't get it by your way. If you don't get it by your way, you won't get it by your way."
The concierge shook his head and said, "Mr. Su is a knowledgeable person. I admire him very much. But Mr. Su, a gentleman loves money and gets it well. This money is not from the right way..."
Mr. Su laughed again: "What is the right way? Confucius said that wealth can be obtained. Even those who hold whip can do it. If you cannot, according to what I like, the Master and the Master were willing to do inferior jobs that opened the way for others to hold whip."
The concierge was puzzled, but he didn't expect Confucius to be such a master.
Mr. Su handed him the Yinzhu, and this time he picked him up and brought Wang Qilin into the door.
Wang Qilin felt a headache. This official school would not be like this all day long, right?
He looked down at Heidou, who was already dizzy.
Dr. Meng is a thin old man with gray hair and short beards. He has a serious face and a gaze like a torch. When the people around him see it, they all avoid it.
The two sides happened to meet at the inner door of the school, and the concierge greeted and said, "Hello Dr. Meng, there are two fathers and sons here who want to see you."
Dr. Meng glanced at Wang Qilin with a deep face, and also glanced from above and down. Then he said seriously to the doorman: "Do you say there are two fathers and sons here, are they two fathers, two sons, or two fathers and sons?"
Wang Qilin felt that this person's mind was not very right.
The concierge was obviously familiar with his style and smiled embarrassedly: "It was a father who brought a son to see you."
Dr. Meng swept his hands and signaled him to leave, and asked Wang Qilin, "Where is the origin of a gentleman?"
Wang Qilin said: "Dawang Village, Paifang Township..."
"Can you have fame and fortune?"
"No."
"Where can young students go to school?"
Wang Qilin shook his head. He understood the purpose of the doorman's previous question.
Seeing him shook his head, Dr. Meng smiled without objection and asked again: "Where are you living now?"
Wang Qilin said: "I live on Jixiang Street."
Jixiang Street is the main street running through Jixiang County. Posthouses and yamen, Dingshenglou and Yicuilou are all on this street, which is also the Fugui Street in the county.
Dr. Meng shook his head and smiled, "If I guess well, you are smart and have a good business, right?"
