Yan Zhitui seemed to be in a good mood and didn't care about Xiao Han's attitude. Instead, he pointed outside and said with a smile.
"Go out?" Xiao Han was a little surprised, but soon he seemed to have thought of something, and nodded quickly: "It's good to go out for a walk!"
"Where are you going?" Yan Zhitui adjusted his robe a little, stood up and asked.
"Go..." Xiao Han hesitated for a moment, turned his eyes and asked: "Master Yan is the best teacher in the world, why don't I go to the school in Zhuangzi?"
"Go to your school in Zhuangzi?" Yan Zhitui chuckled, and looked straight at Xiao Han with his eyes that seemed to be able to penetrate people's hearts. He looked at Xiao Han with a hint of ridicule, so he could only bite the bullet.
Said: "If the children there knew that you were there, Master Yan, they would be crazy with joy!"
"Really?" Yan Zhitui blinked, and a childlike smile suddenly appeared on his face: "But how do I feel? If I go, you will be the one who is crazy about it?"
"Ahem..."
One sentence immediately made Xiao Han choke and cough violently, almost coughing out all the leaves in his lungs!
As people age, they become better! It’s true!
I just had a little thought, and people immediately understood it. How the hell can I play with it? Can't I be stupider, stupider, like Liu Hongji and Yuchi Dasha?
"Haha, let's go!"
Xiao Han coughed and almost shed tears. When Yan Zhitui saw this, he couldn't help laughing.
"Ahem, where are you going?" Xiao Han coughed and asked reluctantly raising his head.
"Go and rectify the name of your school!"
"You, you know everything?"
"If I can't even see through this little thought, wouldn't I have lived most of my life in vain?"
"Well……"
Xiao Han was speechless, and was just about to rejoice that Yan Zhitui didn't know that he had spread the news that he was visiting his home, when he heard Yan Zhitui snort again and said: "Also, I came to your place as a guest in an aboveboard and aboveboard manner.
, you don’t need to secretly send people to Chang’an to promote it?”
"Bang!!!" Xiao Han stumbled and hit the door frame, causing stars to fly.
Prepare a car and go to school.
The driver was still the old man. At this time, Xiao Han already knew the old man's name from Yan Zhitui.
"Afu? Big Afu?"
Thinking of this name that became almost a household name in later generations, even Xiao Han, who had just been severely beaten by Yan Zhitui, couldn't help but want to laugh.
However, before he could laugh out loud, he suddenly remembered that it was this old man who caught up with the mad bull in just a few ups and downs yesterday, and in the end, with his brute force, he knocked the mad bull down.
Shocking scene!
How cruel!
Not to mention that when a person gets old, his muscles and bones will become fragile? His strength will also disappear?
How could the old man in front of him be so cruel? Xiao Han had no doubt that even if he tied himself up with Lengzi and Xiaodong, he would never be able to beat him alone!
Wandering and thinking all the way, the ancient oxcart pulled a few people slowly towards the school.
In fact, it is more appropriate to call it a school than a school.
Because a school is mostly a house, and a school is a general term for a building.
At the beginning, in line with the "principle" that no matter how poor we are, we should not deprive ourselves of education, and no matter how hard it is, we should not torture our children, we would lock up all those naughty little ones.
Xiao Han spent the money to build this school into an extraordinary building!
The blue bricks and red roof, bright sorghum windows, high walls, and big green trees make many people who come to Zhuangzi for the first time subconsciously regard this place as a marquis mansion. For this reason, there are still incidents.
Lots of jokes.
Today, when Xiao Han and the others came here, it was during class time.
The sound of reading loudly came from the school, and when Yan Zhitui heard it, he asked the driver to slow down so as not to disturb the children inside.
"How many students are there here?"
Yan Zhitui, who closed his eyes and listened to the sound of students reading for a while and kept nodding to the beat, suddenly asked Xiao Han.
"Probably more than two hundred." Xiao Han replied with some uncertainty. Butler Lu had told him this number before, but he hadn't come for a while, so he didn't know if it had changed.
"More than two hundred students?" Yan Zhitui exclaimed, frowning and looking at Xiao Han: "There are so many children in your village?"
"No!" Xiao Han shook his head honestly, and then grinned: "There are only a few dozen children in Zhuangzi at most, but there are children from the surrounding Sanyuan County, Jingyang County, and even Chang'an County further away who come here to study.
, add up to more than 200 people.
Yan Zhidui said "Oh" and listened to the scholar for a while, then continued to ask: "How many beams are there here?"
"Shuxiu?" Xiao Han rolled his eyes: "It's usually a piece of pork. Those who are rich will give it money, and those who have no money can just pull a piece of linen cloth!"
"So casual?" Yan Zhitui was surprised again when he heard this, "Aren't you afraid that all the children around you will come over and make your school so crowded that there is no room for it?"
"Not afraid." Xiao Han muttered: "I wish there were more students, but Master Yan, you have also seen that even if there is no tuition fee, there are only so many children! Moreover, most of them are children and older ones.
, except for a few in Zhuangzi, almost none."
"Where are the older ones going..." Yan Zhitui was about to ask again, but something suddenly occurred to him. He was stunned for a moment, then shook his head with a wry smile.
Needless to say, Xiao Han knew where those older children had gone.
In this era, many places don’t even have enough food to eat! For such a family to support a scholar who only consumes and has no output is undoubtedly a dream!
Not every Zhuangzi in the world is as wealthy as the Xiao family Zhuangzi!
Not everyone can let their children come here to study and increase their knowledge without any scruples!
In some ordinary families, allowing their children to attend a few classes and be able to write their own names is already the best effort of their parents!
Perhaps, more than half of the children who are attending classes and studying here will follow the same path as their parents in the future.
They may pick up a hoe and spend their whole life working hard with their backs turned to the sky and their faces facing the loess.
Or you can learn a skill and live your whole life in an ordinary way.
Reading cannot change their lives.
"Your Majesty is going to reopen the imperial examination." After standing at the door for a while, Yan Zhitui suddenly sighed and said.
"When the imperial examination is rolled out, there will naturally be more scholars. By then, your school may soon be out of capacity."
"Haha, what's the point? It's just building a few more houses and hiring a few more gentlemen. I can afford this little money!" Xiao Han laughed heartily.
"Aren't you afraid of spending too much? As far as I know, you have a reputation for being stingy in Chang'an!"
"Hey, that's because outsiders don't understand me! Master Yan can't be like those people, right?"
