He told the third prince that he wanted to go to Ciqing Palace every other day instead of once every three days. When Zhang Shou got up early the next morning, he was still holding on to the memorial he had finished all night and planned to leave the city on his way to the public school.
By the way, he went to the General Affairs Department to submit the memorial. However, after washing and changing clothes, eating breakfast, saying goodbye to Wu, and about to go out, he found that the familiar team of guards was still in front of his door.
This is not a temporary measure, but a protracted war?
Yesterday morning, when such a group of people appeared and seemed to have stayed all night, he was still suspicious. But when he went to Ciqing Palace to teach, after hearing from the fourth prince that the second prince might have been killed in a shipwreck, he became suspicious.
He felt that this arrangement should be the emperor's good intention. But now looking at this situation, he clearly planned to stay there for a long time, which made him feel very strange.
And when he was about to board the car and set off, another group of people came galloping towards him. When they approached him, the leader shouted, and all the people behind him jumped off their horses, and then quickly came to him and saluted.
I can't help but feel even more ridiculous.
"Scholar Zhang, Han Lie, the leader of the humble cavalry battalion, has been ordered to serve as your retinue from now on."
Zhang Shou was really a little confused. He was not a particularly important person, so was this kind of treatment a bit too much? He glanced at Ah Liu next to him, and saw that he seemed to have an expression that his job had been taken away - of course, others
It was difficult to detect clues from the young man's face, so he smiled and said, "Thank you for your hard work. But, these other people in front of my house are..."
The next moment, he got an expected answer: "These are also people from the Ruiqi camp. Starting from the night before yesterday, all the princes, elders, ministers and other important ministers in the capital have sent extra guards to their homes to guard them. Starting today, they will be traveling
They also sent guards, ranging from garrison at home to guards traveling, with a total number of guards ranging from twenty to forty. The emperor gave special instructions yesterday evening. The second prince's ship would sink for no reason, and the safety of the important ministers was the top priority.
, don’t be negligent in the slightest.”
But I don't seem to be such an important minister... Zhang Shou wanted to say this in his heart, but when he said it, he felt that it was a bit contrary to the emperor's good intentions, so he could only thank him politely.
Speaking of Ruiqiying, as the emperor's own army, it is said that the emperor would even practice in the Xiyuan martial arts field when he had nothing to do. He was indeed well-trained. When he went out yesterday, he asked his family to send hot soup and tea, but no one was willing to accept it.
Not to mention the reward. Therefore, even if there were only ten people under the command at this time, Zhang Shou, who was sitting in the carriage, still felt that he was really showing off.
And when he went to the General Affairs Department to deliver the memorial and left the city to arrive at the public school, Prince Zhan Shi Liu Zhiyuan went to Ciqing Palace to teach the third prince in the morning, but Lu Wan bumped into him as he got out of the car.
On the top, the two of them looked at each other and saw the ten mighty and majestic guards behind each other. They couldn't help but look at each other for a moment.
One was a former Minister of the Ministry of War who had already served as an official, and now he was serving wine at a public school, while the other was just a bachelor's degree lecturer in the Hanlin Academy. The accompanying guards were exactly the same!
Of course, they were surprised, but the two people who were a generation apart in age had a tacit agreement not to exchange this issue. Lu Wan said hello and went in first, letting his carriage go ahead to collect and transport books. Although the Lu family and his son were rich
All of them were quite lucrative, but after Lu Sanlang used his money to annex bookstores in the capital, Lu Wan simply used his car to transport books, leaving a good reputation.
Compared with those arithmetic classics, the first three volumes of Zhang Shouna's "New Edition of Gurdjieff's Arithmetic" as an arithmetic enlightenment are very popular. Even if you don't want to take the Jiuzhangtang exam, it is very good to give your children an arithmetic enlightenment. Especially nowadays
Since both father and son generations of emperors were very interested in arithmetic, this kind of investment that did not cost a few dollars was very beneficial to a well-off family.
The Lu family's carriage left. Zhang Shou couldn't help but be stunned when he saw that Ah Liu was about to send the coachman to the stables behind to store the carriage. Han Lie, the leader of the team, actually separated four people and planned to follow them together.
The other party seemed to see his doubts and explained solemnly: "Assassins have always used unexpected means or hidden in unexpected places. Among them, the chassis of a carriage is very easy to hide people.
Moreover, they tampered with the chassis of the carriage, or tampered with the horses, causing the horses to be frightened when the carriage was driving, or the shaft and chassis of the carriage broke..."
Zhang Shou listened blankly as the other party told him a lot of security tips. He felt that it was the same as checking whether there was any tampering in the car, and ruling out various mechanical failures and the possibility of bombs. Faced with this profession, he did not hesitate.
He nodded and said: "Then it's all up to you, Ah Liu, you don't have to go, as long as they keep an eye on you."
This time, Ah Liu finally stared at the crowd with some dissatisfaction. After the four people escorted the subtle-looking coachman and drove away, he whispered: "I will check it too!"
Knowing that Ah Liu was talking about whether the carriage had been tampered with or not, and that he would check it carefully, Zhang Shou glared at the person and said, "Wouldn't it be easier for you to have someone share the burden for you?"
But hasn’t the lunatic drilled through the whole house and set up layers of security measures, is it necessary? As for going out, unless others use crossbows... Even if they use crossbows, I may not be able to wipe out all the enemies, but
Isn’t it easy to run away with you on my back? We don’t need so many people!
Ah Liu thought so in his heart, and he couldn't help but feel that Han Lie and the other six people were in the way. However, when he entered the public school and saw that the six people stopped immediately, they were only patrolling and guarding outside the wall. He was a little unhappy just now
The mood immediately disappeared. After sending Zhang Shou to Jiuzhang Hall, he started wandering around the public school as usual.
People who come here to study, except for technical classes such as typesetting classes, ordinary students are only divided into beginner classes, intermediate classes and advanced classes. Those who are illiterate go to the junior class and learn from the elementary school readings "Three Character Classic", "Thousand Character Classic" and "Hundred Character Classic".
Family Name" began to learn to read and write.
Those who are proficient in writing generally take intermediate classes based on their qualifications and progress. There are only two courses, Chinese and Mathematics. In Chinese, in addition to the elementary school books, some relatively simple passages and entries are selected from "The Analects" to understand the principles.
As for mathematics, it starts with addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. Those who are proficient in words and have real qualifications will go to advanced classes and directly study the entire Analects of Confucius.
Of course, if someone stands out among the beginner and intermediate classes, they can also be promoted directly to the advanced class.
Because most of the students in public schools are from the common people or even poor people, and they have to take care of family or farm work on weekdays, they only have one day of class every seven days. There are 14 classes for the junior class with a total of 700 people, and seven classes with a total of 140 people.
Intermediate classes with ten students are undoubtedly the mainstream in public schools. In this way, there are two junior classes and one intermediate class every day, with a total of 120 people coming to class.
As for the advanced class, the number of people is no less than that of the junior and intermediate classes. The reason is very simple. Although there is a hard standard of being under fifteen years old, poor families cannot afford to study, but they learn in private schools or from their elders.
Although many people have learned to read and write, and have also read some classics and history, there were many people who were unable to make a living due to lack of money in the past. The entire Gyeonggi Province actually recruited a total of eighty people in two classes!
Because classes start every day and a free lunch is provided, the premise is that there is an assessment every half month, and if you fail, you will be dismissed. The eighty people are still working regardless of rain or shine, and they are actually the most diligent group in the entire public school. But their goal is
This is what Zhang Shou lamented when he talked to Liu Zhiyuan and Lu Wan in private.
Because almost everyone in the advanced class has worked hard and vowed to pass the county examination and the prefecture examination, pass the examination, and be admitted to the examination hall in the future! Although Shuntian Prefecture has always had more places for scholars and candidates, compared with the imperial examination devil province Nanzhili
It is much easier than in Jiangxi, but this ease is relative. The three people do not think that free classics and history courses in public schools are better than teachers from well-off families.
After all, since Lu Wan and Liu Zhiyuan will not teach in person, unless they are people with special qualifications, it will be difficult to surpass those from scholarly families. Therefore, the three of them have very different opinions on their future in the imperial examination.
cautious.
As for Ah Liu, he only has a rough grasp of writing, so he has no interest at all in the advanced classes that teach the Four Books. He also doesn't understand the lectures in the typesetting class, the statistics class, and the law class, so instead he
He stayed in front of the intermediate class where basic mathematics was being taught for a long time. Because Xiao Cheng and Xiao Peanut were also here.
The person who is in class here today is none other than Lu Sanlang. He and Qi Liang take turns attending the East Palace. They are responsible for answering questions for the Third Prince and others when Zhang Shou is not around. However, when explaining to ordinary people at this time, Xiao
Fat people are less patient.
Someone who has full points of talent in arithmetic, facing a group of guys who can't even memorize Jiujiu songs, it's like the pointer is beating the podium, with such a fierce look, even the spectators are watching the fun.
Liu couldn't help but raise eyebrows as he watched. Seeing that Lu Sanlang ordered several people to carry them on their backs, and when two people stumbled and couldn't carry them on their backs, he flexed his fingers and started counting.
Sure enough, he had just counted to three when he saw Lu Sanlang become furious: "You are not six or seven-year-old Mengtong. The younger one is eleven or twelve years old, and the older one is fifteen or sixteen years old. You can all read. It's that simple."
You can learn something after listening to it once, but you went back and reviewed it for seven days, and there are still people who can't memorize it? Have you paid enough attention?"
"Although the public school does not charge tuition, on the day you come to class, no one will subsidize your income from farming and working! If you don't come here to study today, there will be one more strong laborer in the family, but you
If you come to study, your income will be gone in one day! Without this money, the rest of your family will have to work to make up for it, so why don't you study hard?"
Ah Liu originally thought that Lu Sanlang would curse in anger, but when he heard that the man was still reasonable in his anger, he couldn't help but smile slightly, and he remembered the scene when Zhang Shou taught those urchins in the village.
Dozens of children in the village memorized Tang poems, memorized Jiujiu songs, and learned to read and write, but in the end, the ones who were able to catch Zhang Shou's eyes were Qi Liang and Deng Xiaodai. Even so, most of the children in their teens learned how to read and write.
With the simplest reading and writing, each person can write one hundred and eighty words in addition to his or her name.
For this purpose, Zhang Shou even asked him to cut down two bamboos, split the bamboo joints and tubes, and make many literacy signs with bamboo signs.
And the words Lu Sanlang used to teach people now were exactly the same as what Zhang Shou once said when he taught the urchins in the village. Of course, every time Zhang Shou scolded them, the adults in the village would always grab their children and put them away.
People are beaten until they cry for help, and for punishment and rewards, urchins often learn hard--of course cheating is inevitable.
He did not continue to see how Lu Sanlang punished the students, and quietly withdrew. In order to recite Jiujiu Ge, countless urchins in the village had to endure the ruler, and he was no exception. He did not want to experience that kind of unforgettable experience.
Experience it a second time.
Although the classroom was warmer, Ah Liu walked around and determined that the classes in the two classes of Jiuzhang Hall would probably continue for a long time as before, and those in Banshan Hall welcomed their first teacher, Mr. Tang.
At this time, under the suppression of Lu Wan, who was attending the class in person, he rarely took the class seriously. He slipped out quietly without alerting the patrolling guards.
However, he did not carelessly search for rivals in the outer city, or subjugate various religions, as he had done a few months ago. Instead, he stepped on the walls and roofs of the nearby houses and shops to make sure there were no suspicious signs, and then went there again.
The Sutra Sutra Hall, which was still under construction, checked the progress and found several scholars who were inquiring.
As for the content of the inquiry, it was the book lending system that Zhang Shou had previously made known in the Imperial College.
The one who stayed here to supervise the work was an old family member of the Lu family. Probably because there were so many people asking questions these days, he pointed to the notice board beside him impatiently and said angrily: "Write them all down."
It’s on top, and it’s clearly written on how we will run the business in the future and how we will borrow books!”
He originally wanted to put on airs, but suddenly he noticed that there was a young man not far away looking at him quietly. It was Ah Liu. When he recognized the other person, sweat broke out on his forehead. His originally very arrogant attitude immediately changed a lot, but it was Ah Liu.
He said sincerely: "The master generously donated money to build such a sutra calculation hall, and will also lend out many classics and history essays when the time comes. This is all because of Bachelor Zhang's face..."
Not interested in hearing anyone praise Zhang Shou, Ah Liu turned around and left. When he finally returned to the public school after visiting Xinglong Tea House, it was already almost noon. During such a daily inspection, he did nothing but listen.
While watching, I also put two steamed buns, three steamed buns and a bowl of soy milk in my stomach, but at this time I missed the next lunch.
Well, originally there was a kitchen in the public school, but now the kitchen only has the function of heating. The small restaurants in the food street near Xinglong Teahouse have provided meals for the teachers and students of the public school. Students
The food is all steamed buns, steamed buns and flower rolls, just steam them and heat them up.
The teachers, including Lu Wan, Liu Zhiyuan and Zhang Shou, had one meat, one vegetable and one soup, which was stipulated by Liu Zhiyuan. The rich guys in Banshan Hall could order according to the menu. But only he... could
Enjoy double meals for students and teachers.
However, when Ah Liu came to the gate of the public school, what he met was not those who came to deliver food, but a large group of sharp-armored guards from the Rui Cavalry Camp. Compared with the guards from Zhang Shou and Lu Wan before,
There were actually dozens of people at the moment. Guarding among these people was a carriage that looked very low-key. But Ah Liu recognized it at a glance.
That was clearly the carriage that the Third Prince, the Crown Prince, rode in when he came to attend a public lecture last time!
With a big frown on his face, he walked forward directly. The face that passed through the palace unobstructed was easily swiped this time. He came to the carriage very smoothly, and before the curtain could be opened, he felt a little suspicious.
Di asked: "Didn't His Highness the Crown Prince say that he would not leave the palace often to avoid wasting manpower?"
