Chapter 20 The Great Confucian of the Shangguo Part 2
"Not much to say, I have to let this great gentleman come to my house to study."
Wei Shao, the prefect of Qingliang Prefecture, knocked on the armrest of the rosewood chair and said softly, "In recent years, the prefecture has passed the imperial examination, and the imperial examination has always failed in literature and education. It is also difficult for him to be the prefect."
Academic officer Chun Yuquan frowned:
"Under what name and what treatment will he be recruited?"
"With his status as a doctor of Confucian classics, five taels of spindles per month should be enough, right?"
Wei Shao raised his eyebrows, but Chunyu Quan smiled bitterly:
"Sir, Mr. Chai Da's name is now resounding throughout Qingliang Mansion. He is also famous throughout Liangzhou. Yesterday, old friends in Tingdu told me that Mr. Chai Da's three hundred thousand has caused quite a stir in the capital.
sensation."
"I heard that the current Holy One likes to read it with three hundred thousand in his spare time. He said it is a good idea without burning his brain. He plans to have the imperial court publish it and spread it throughout the world."
"His Excellency, the Grand Priest Jiu of the Imperial College, also said that it doesn't take much more than that. As long as Mr. Chai Da can publish another classic, he will immediately become a great scholar of the Shang Dynasty."
"Even if he doesn't do anything, as long as he has three to five years of accumulation, with only three hundred thousand, he will be the most famous scholar and scholar in the dynasty!"
Just as he was saying this, Tong Zhijian, holding a scroll, ran in angrily:
"It's a big deal. Mr. Chai Da of Haoran Academy in Fengcheng published his masterpiece Zhongyong. The Shinto official immediately sent it to the court. His Excellency the Grand Priest Liquor and several great scholars settled it. He is the best in history. Mr. Chai Da is the number one great scholar in the world!
"
The academic officer of the prefect stood up at the same time, took the brand-new book with the scent of ink, and started reading it. He was fascinated not long after, and the magistrate and magistrate also read it with gusto.
More than half an hour later, the sound of the government officials practicing woke up the four of them. Wei Shao tapped the writing with his fingers and sighed:
"Mr. Dajiu clearly explained the principles of the world in one book. His Excellency Dajijiu said it well. It is actually the best book ever written!"
"...Sir, do you still want to greet Mr. Chai Da with five taels of bouquets of Confucian scholars?"
The academic officer raised his eyebrows, and the prefect Kai Shao cursed:
"What the hell, even if you don't like his position as an official, he is the greatest scholar in the Shang Kingdom. The Qingliang Mansion is too small to accommodate such a great master!"
Tongzhi Tongpan didn’t understand what was going on. When the two explained, they nodded at the same time:
“If we can invite Mr. Da to come to our school to give lectures for a few days, it will definitely be of great help to the students!”
"The third son in the scripture class of Haoran Academy, he was a rotten wood who failed to be a scholar before. In less than two months, he was selected as a scholar one after another, and he was among the top three in the examination."
"Mr. Chai Da's methods are so powerful that it doesn't take a long time, just a few days are enough. The scholars in the government will definitely have earth-shaking changes!"
"It's easier said than done. Now Mr. Chai Da has a name. As for money and silk, I don't even want thousands of taels of money in front of me. How can I invite him?"
The academic officer smiled bitterly and shook his head, while the prefect grinned widely. His five taels of monthly profit was really a slap in the face, a slap in the face!
Tongzhi Tongjian looked at each other, chuckled and said:
"If the mountain is not mine, I will be the mountain. Sirs, why do you have to invite Mr. Da to come? You can definitely take the students to Fengcheng. I don't believe that Mr. Da can refuse if he is sincere!"
The prefect's academic officer's eyes lit up at the same time. Really, why hadn't I thought of such a simple method before?!
In the classroom, the young children in elementary school were writing seriously. Chaitino watched as they walked and corrected their mistakes from time to time, with a smile on his face.
At the same time that the third son of the classics class passed the examination, Zhongyong, which had been revised for a long time, was officially released. Like Three Hundred Thousand, it does not require copyright, and everyone in the world can reprint it at will.
Sure enough, just as Chaitino had guessed, it immediately caused a sensation in the Shang Kingdom and also caused waves in neighboring countries.
Different from the Three Hundred Thousand Mongolian Studies, the Doctrine of the Mean is a serious scripture, and its principles are in line with human ethics. It is not an exaggeration to say that the Great Sacrifice of the Shang Kingdom is the first book in the history.
The awe-inspiring righteousness surged like the sea, and the entire academy felt like it was in the ocean. The souls of those who came and went were cleansed, and Chaitino's body was like a condensed form of righteousness.
Although he has never been able to reach the path of immortality, Chai Tiannuo estimates that he may be able to fight against the immortals with his physical strength alone!
Instructing the children to study hard, Chai Tiannuo opened the door and went to the scripture class. This was his headache. There was only one person in Haoran Academy, so it was really too busy.
The crowd of spectators outside the house hurriedly got out of the way and bowed their hands in greeting, but said nothing.
This was the instruction from the county school a few days ago, so as not to disturb Mr. Da’s thoughts.
Chai Tiannuo gestured with his hand. When he reached the door of the scripture class, he saw a man with a long beard leading seven students from the Fu School waiting in front of the door.
"Everyone is here, but you have something to do?"
When the visitor saw Chaitino arriving, he hurriedly raised his hands and saluted, and Chaitino returned the salute.
Chun Yushan explained clearly the origin of his identity, bowed to the end, and said with a wry smile:
"Mr. Da, the government is really helpless. You must also know that the imperial examination results in recent years are the worst in Liangzhou. I, the academic officer of Qingliang Prefecture and the head of the Prefecture School, walk on thin ice every day."
"I sincerely ask you, the university students, and the students from the government schools to give you a chance to make progress. Don't let mediocrity ruin the future of the talented people in Qingliang Prefecture."
These words were both sincere and helpless. Chaitino looked at the seven candidates lined up behind him who also bowed to the end, and thought for a while and said:
"Chun Da is sincere and sincere, I don't refuse. I don't have time to figure out the corresponding courses today. Come in and listen to what Mingyuan and the other three have learned. I can be considered adaptable."
"Thank you, Mr. Big!"
Chunyu Quan and the seven government officials' eyes lit up at the same time, and they followed Chai Tiannuo into the house.
Tao Mingyuan, Cui Fuping, and Shi Guangli had heard the sound long ago and hurriedly stood up and saluted when someone came in.
They were all acquainted with each other from the government school, and their classmate Shanzhang often bumped into each other. However, we were all old people at that time and had little contact with Shanzhang Liangcai.
It was already class time, and everyone remained silent. They just looked for seats and sat down. Chun Yushan, the head of the academy, sat down in the last row. It was a rare opportunity to listen to the lectures of a contemporary scholar, so he stayed shamelessly.
"It is said that if one does not cultivate one's body, one cannot cultivate one's own body, and one cannot cultivate one's own body. This is what I have learned from this statement."
Chai Tiannuo wrote the word "self-cultivation" on the blackboard and called Tao Mingyuan to explain.
Tao Mingyuan stood up and crossed his hands, thought for a moment and said seriously:
"There will be bias towards those who are in awe, and partiality towards those who are sympathetic... So as the old saying goes, no one knows that the son in the family is bad, and everyone is dissatisfied with the good crops in the field. This means that you cannot manage a small family well without cultivating yourself.
and family principles.”
"good!"
Chaitino nodded with satisfaction, chuckled and said:
"So to govern a country, one must first bring order to the family. The reason is that if you can't even handle family affairs well, how can you manage other things?"
"Being filial to your parents can be used to serve the king, being respectful to your elders can be used to serve the officials, being kind to your children can be used to benefit the people, and it is nothing more than this."
Chunyu Shan and the seven disciples were shocked. Where did these words come from?
When I came here, I deliberately read through Three Hundred Thousand and memorized the Doctrine of the Mean, but what I heard in the hall had nothing to do with it at all.
