""Rabbit Garden Book"...Is your brother really trying to recruit children to imitate him?"
In the lecture room, watching the teaching materials being brought in, Jiang Jing, who was holding the account book, came over and took a look and found that it was "Rabbit Garden Book".
Li Yan nodded: "The original source of students for our academy is to cater to children between the ages of six and ten. Compared with the entry threshold of "The Thousand Character Essay", "Rabbit Garden Book" is more suitable for young children."
Jiang Jing hesitated to speak: "But..."
Li Yan laughed: "But "Rabbit Garden Book" is despised by scholar-bureaucrats, right? Don't worry, we are not a mainstream academy, we just treat it as a rural private school."
During the Northern Song Dynasty, the common textbooks for children's enlightenment were not "Hundred Family Surnames" and "Essential Teachings for Enlightenment" which had not yet been fully circulated, but "Rabbit Garden Book" and "Thousand-Character Essay".
Mentioning "Rabbit Garden Book", Li Yan recalled that during the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period, there was a Prime Minister Feng Dao who served in the Later Tang, Later Jin, Later Han, and later Four Dynasties. He served ten emperors successively, during which he also professed his vassalship to Emperor Taizong of the Liao Dynasty.
Known as the "Elder of the Ten Dynasties".
Ancient literati were very disdainful of him out of the concept of loyalty to the emperor. For example, Ouyang Xiu called him "shameless" and Sima Guang denounced him as "a traitorous minister". However, in modern times, many people regard Feng Dao as an official tumbler.
There is an interesting story about this man. It is said that he always likes to look back when walking. Some people ridiculed him and said that if Feng Dao walked in a hurry, a copy of "Rabbit Garden Book" would fall from him, so he had to look back from time to time.
, he never leaves his elementary school textbooks, so he is obviously uneducated.
This story comes from the "New History of the Five Dynasties" compiled by Ouyang Xiu. Its authenticity is open to question, but it is so damaging that a certain Duke of Zhou in the Tang Dynasty expressed that he was seriously offended.
But it has to be said that during the Northern Song Dynasty, "Rabbit Garden Book" was often despised by scholar-bureaucrats due to its superficial content. Even if they were able to learn "Tu Yuan Book" when they were enlightened, it did not prevent them from looking down upon it when they grew up.
To be honest, when Li Yan flipped through this "Rabbit Garden Book" that has been lost to later generations, he found that although the threshold was much lower than "The Thousand Character Essay" and was more suitable for young people to get started, the content was indeed not very good. Fortunately, he bought it
The purpose of entering "Rabbit Garden Book" is actually to prepare for another textbook...
Jiang Jingze was very worried that once discrimination is formed, it is difficult to change. As soon as "Rabbit Garden Book" was published, the enlightenment level of the academy dropped. How many parents in Bianjing are still willing to send their children to...
Just as he was thinking about it, An Daoquan walked in and handed over a list: "Brother, the first batch of students has been confirmed. According to your decision, we will first take a class of thirty people."
Li Yan took it calmly, and Jiang Jing craned his neck to look over, unable to hide his surprise: "Have you recruited the first batch of students so quickly?"
Li Yan laughed: "Are you wondering why they came to this little-known little academy? It's actually very simple, because this is Sui'an Academy!"
Zhu Wu, who was also busy in the lecture room, pricked up his ears. Hearing Jiang Jing's deep thoughts, he suddenly said: "It turns out they came here because of my brother's reputation as a miracle doctor!"
An Daoquan smiled and said: "These students are all patients that my brother has seen before. They can study in the academy and recuperate their bodies. Why not?"
Li Yan said: "Winter is tough. Children from rich and powerful families are prone to die early if they don't receive timely treatment when they get sick. Let alone ordinary families who send their children to study and can also be cared for. This is killing two birds with one stone."
Zhu Wu was a little moved when he heard this, but Jiang Jingze had long been used to it: "So that's the case. No wonder my brother wants to name the academy Sui'an. This will really reassure the parents."
Li Yan looked at An Daoquan: "How is the cook doing?"
An Daoquan nodded: "Brother, do you still remember the Cao Zheng I told you about last time? He knew that after the academy was opened, he introduced many people to it, all of whom were experienced chefs in Tiexue Tower."
Li Yan said: "Our small academy is equipped with a chef from the main store, and the salary is really good. However, as for wages, it is impossible to pay according to the level of Tiexue Tower at that time. It has to be paid according to the market price."
An Daoquan thinks it's good: "Of course, they have nothing to do now, so recruiting workers is a timely help. General Hou's guild is now in trouble, and everyone may be pushing him away. Maybe they will be expelled..."
Jiang Jing said coldly: "That's right. The chamber of commerce that colluded with Wuyou Cave has already been shut down. If it hadn't been for... hmph, anyway, if this chamber of commerce was resurrected, how could it be worthy of those who died tragically in Wuyou Cave?
Common people?”
Zhu Wu's eyes also flashed with a fierce look. His friend Chen Yu, who was from the same hometown, was killed by Wuyou Cave. Although it was only the knife that was used in the last move, the person holding the knife was the culprit, but there are also everyone in Wuyou Cave.
Get it and kill it.
Fortunately, the cancer had been dug out by Judge Gongsun, and Lin Chong in front of him was also involved...
Thinking of this, Zhu Wu's eyes flashed: "It's a pity that this person does not have the courage of Judge Gongsun after all... But Judge Gongsun ended up like that, why should he ask others to be like him..."
While Zhu Wu was thinking a lot, Jiang Jing looked at the account books, calculated silently, and breathed a sigh of relief.
Now the academy is small, the rent is cheap, and the staff is sparse. If it recruits thirty students, it can break even according to the normal monthly training schedule, which is beyond his original imagination.
However, another question arises from this. Jiang Jing asked: "If the source of young children can be guaranteed, should we recruit a few more teachers?"
Zhu Wu hurriedly avoided his sight. Ever since he was assigned to guard by Ding Run, these people were not afraid of him as a murder suspect. He was very capable of doing various chores. He didn't want to teach those children to read "Rabbit".
Garden Book".
Li Yan did not look at him at all: "I have told Judge Ding before that we can recruit students from the Imperial Academy to teach in the academy, but now the controversy in the Imperial Academy is getting worse..."
Just in the middle of his words, his ears twitched slightly and he walked out quickly: "Something happened again later!"
Jiang Jing and An Daoquan followed, but Zhu Wu did not go and lowered his head.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Behind the academy is the Bian River, and he has already guessed what happened.
Sure enough, when Li Yan arrived with Jiang Jing and An Daoquan, Lu Junyi, Suo Chao and Hua Rong were standing on the shore, looking ugly.
When everyone looked towards Hanoi, their expressions became heavy.
"Alas, another imperial student jumped into the river..."
"Hehe, another Imperial Prince jumped into the river~"
On the diagonally opposite shore, Gao Qiu, surrounded by the Imperial City Secretary, was also watching the excitement. He was indifferent to the people who fell into the water. Instead, he was observing the crowd gathered on the shore and was secretly proud.
In the past few days, with the fermentation of Taixue's eulogy, not only the entrance of Taixue, but also a large number of people were surrounding it every day, and the Taixue students who paid bribes were also cleared out one by one.
Some of them bribed PhD students to obtain qualifications for promotion. In fact, even if they were eliminated, it would be considered a minor issue and they should never be hired.
But some students were very unjustly accused and were not given any valuable gifts at all. Some were even considered within the confinement scope, but were still beaten to death with a stick.
After these people cried out that they had no way out, they were filled with shame and anger. Unable to bear the blow, they jumped into the Bian River.
Gao Qiu was very happy to see it.
Two years ago, he was still one of these ordinary people struggling to find a way out for themselves.
Today, two years later, he is already the emperor's favorite minister and the imperial city's chief minister. His concern has completely shifted from the life and death of the people to what Zhao Ji wants.
Facts have proved that the officials strictly ordered the Yushitai to dig deeper into this matter, which was extremely wise. Now the debate in the capital is all about fraud, and no one spreads rumors of matricide anymore. The high pursuit of nature is so beautiful that I can't wait to dance more every day.
.
Once he was in a happy mood, he looked across and raised his lips: "That's Lin Chong's Sui'an Academy? How did it open so quietly?"
The subordinate hurriedly said: "Let me remind you, Lin Chong did not invite anyone, not even his father came."
Gao Qiu sneered: "Instead of taking the exam to become an official, a young man came to run an academy. I really don't know what to say!"
Think about how this gifted person is wasting his life, and then look at yourself. In addition to completing the work of the Imperial City, you also have to learn calligraphy, painting, poetry and poetry, practice sumo wrestling, and practice Cuju... let alone ordinary times.
Even the winter solstice holidays are fully booked!
Gao Qiu was jealous, and a little arrogant, he looked away and called: "Let's go!"
They had just left, and the Bianhe River changed again. The hands of the student who jumped into the river were exposed and fluttering, and there was a faint cry for help: "Help...Gululu..."
Everyone was regretful before that no one rushed to rescue people who were determined to seek death. The water in this section was still very fast and there were many boats, so it was really inconvenient to save people.
But seeing the student struggling for his life, Lu Junyi immediately shouted loudly: "Don't panic, I'll save you!"
Li Yan also moved, but his eyes fell not far away, and he said: "No need, there are people who are proficient in water properties, let's not go up and cause trouble."
Lu Junyi followed his gaze and saw a white line passing through the water, and suddenly reached the river.
"Wow!"
With the sound of splashing water, a young man with fair skin appeared, hugged the student tightly and walked towards the river bank.
Everyone couldn't help but clapped their hands and praised: "What a skill!"
Lu Junyi was even more delighted when he saw him: "Isn't that Zhang Shun? Brother, I recognize this young man!"
Suo Chao also recognized it and explained: "At that time, we went to rescue Judge Gongsun, met the Zhang brothers, and got a lot of help from them, which gave Judge Ding a headache... But now that I think about it, we might as well not let Gongsun go.
When the judge comes back, he will become a wanted person for nothing!"
Lu Junyi said: "Not to mention the sad things, I went to find the Zhang brothers and introduce them to my brother!"
By the Bian River, Lu Junyi went to look for someone excitedly.
In the lecture room, after Zhu Wu finished his work seriously, he put away the "Rabbit Garden Book".
Just as he was about to leave, he accidentally saw the rough paper spread out on the desk of the podium covered with writing. The writing was similar to the door plaque, and was obviously written by Lin Chong.
He glanced at it casually for a few times, then his expression suddenly became serious, and he read softly:
"When humans are born, their nature is good. Their natures are similar, but their habits are far apart..."
