Chapter 749: Everything that can be said is said by the teacher
When Qi Jingshan was the most senior official, he was the minister of Taichang Temple, and he was one of the nine ministers. Even though his importance in the court was not as important as that of the cabinet minister or the minister, his achievements were more in writing books and establishing Talking about it, not being an official. In addition, he has a stable character, or he is highly respected. At this time, this seems to be the final word, and it immediately attracts the attention of more than one person.
Therefore, even though it was only a few days ago that Lu Wan and Liu Zhiyuan came to visit and found out that the wedding banquet of their closed disciple was actually put into this form by these two people, I was still furious at that time. The two juniors who were quite young scolded him severely, but this did not prevent Mrs. Ge from standing up for Zhang Shou at this time.
Seeing that Qi Jingshan's words aroused quite a reaction, he ignored Chu Ying who was blowing his beard and glaring at him, coughed heavily and said: "Well, although Jiuzhang is young, he has great ambitions to help the world. Therefore, some people say that he is a good teacher, but I would like to ask here, is he a good teacher? As a third-generation disciple of Gemen, everyone is a hero!"
These rather arrogant words came from the mouth of Ge Yong, who was both a master of Confucianism and a master of arithmetic. Although some people disapproved of it and some secretly slandered it, there was no one who criticized it in person.
Of course, a person with a (dead) bone (correction) spirit (emotion) will not appear at Zhang Yuan's wedding banquet today.
But Ge Yong didn't seem to notice Zhang Shou's slightly red face, and continued to say calmly: "And he invited so many talented people from all over the world through today's wedding banquet. Firstly, he knew that all of you were famous, and now It’s rare that we are all in the capital, so I invite you all to gather together, and I plan to take advantage of this opportunity when all the scholars from all over the world gather in the capital to hold several lectures.”
This is undoubtedly something that plays into the minds of many people. Although academies in various places have sprung up like bamboo shoots after a rain in recent years, and it is common for a hundred schools of thought to contend, cross-regional lectures are only qualified for a few top celebrities in the world. Moreover, if someone is not good enough, they can easily be plotted against by their enemies.
Especially in a place like the capital where dignitaries gather, no matter how great a literary name is, it may not be able to match the power. That is to say, sometimes when the cabinet officials are relatively open-minded, they will tacitly allow academic officials such as the Imperial College to invite celebrities from all over. Lectures. But people who have such an honor are still very rare in the world.
Most of the time, temples tend to favor official schools, and even if they do not suppress private schools, they do not particularly promote them.
Forget about those who are truly famous all over the world. Those who are neither famous nor famous are the most embarrassing, because even if you try all means to give a lecture, the number of people who come to listen may not be as many as the people who organize for you, and not as many as you. There are many students, relatives and friends, and the final influence is even more pitiful, and it may even become a laughing stock.
Even if they used to only think of Zhang Shou as a junior boy, if he can really organize this event, they can't help but be grateful, let alone treat him as a junior. So, in a moment, After the silence, someone couldn't help shouting: "Teacher Ge, where is this lecture place? It can't be in a public school, right?"
"Why can't it be placed in the public school?" Ge Yong snorted and said with a cold face, "The auditorium of the public school can accommodate the largest number of people, second only to the Imperial College. Of course, if you want to give lectures in the Imperial College, then Of course, I will listen to you. My Jiuzhang family doesn't bother to compete with the Imperial College. People who want to be rich and prosperous in the world can still have some connections in the capital."
Even Zhang Shou himself felt his mouth twitching when he heard the words "disdain". And when he saw that many people heard Ge Yong's meaningful words "have connections", their expressions became very strange. It was so subtle that he wanted to sigh even more.
The two words "capital" mean that not only is it difficult to live in, but the threshold of the Imperial College is even higher. How many great Confucians have taught in the past few decades? If ten fingers together are not enough, just add toes... And how many people in the world are known as celebrities, named mountain chiefs, who write books and teach people? If they have connections in the capital... If they have connections, they would have become officials long ago!
Those who are devoted to teaching students but unwilling to become officials... most of them will not be able to become officials. Did not look at the famous founder of Wang's mind theory in history, Mr. Yangming, who once studied things to the point of selflessness. When he was young, he was so Aren't you also determined to make progress in the officialdom?
After all, the scholars these days are talking about cultivating oneself, managing one's family, governing the country, and bringing peace to the world. Those who are tired of officialdom and then retire and engage in education are the best among celebrities. The reason why people are dissatisfied with them, such as Yueshan, is not Because you have never been an official before?
As for him, who came from an unjust background, his career as an official was like riding a rocket. In fact, it was the same... The only difference was that he had too many backers and was a bit too strong!
Zhang Shou, who obviously had no idea, seemed to turn into an enlightened and wise academic leader when Ge Yong said this. So the only insider among Zhang Shou's students, Lu Sanlang, who was accompanying the last one, was really He enjoyed watching it. However, he soon discovered that it was not easy for him to be a spectator.
Because, in order to increase his persuasiveness, Ge Yong directly turned the topic to him: "Look at my disciple Lu Gaoyuan. When he was in the capital, everyone scolded him as a playboy who was ignorant and incompetent. But now What? Now he is the representative of the emperor’s eloquent words and the return of the prodigal son. Not to mention him, the same goes for Zhang Dalang, the Duke of Qin!"
"What is knowledge? It is not just writing books and sayings, but applying it to the world. Isn't it knowledge? Zhang Dalang and his colleagues can go around Xingtai and Cangzhou, and many people who were already running out of food will be full all of a sudden. So. , even if he knows nothing about arithmetic, I am still very satisfied to have such a disciple!"
Zhang Chen is not qualified to sit at the main table today, and his father has gone to Zhao Guogong's mansion to act as the bride's wedding officiant. Therefore, compared to Little Fatty Lu, he does not feel that he has a chance to show his face in front of those so-called celebrities, and he Don't really care either.
However, Ge Yong praised him in public like this. Even though Mr. Zhang has always been an arrogant person, he couldn't help but show a flush on his face. Especially when everyone in the four seats looked at him with eyes filled with envy, jealousy and hatred, he couldn't help but The waist is straight, like a proud rooster.
Of course, he also thanked Ge Yong over and over again in his heart.
Ever since he was a child, he has been praised more times than in just over a year! Moreover, now it is no longer his mother who thinks he is good at everything, but people like the emperor or Ge Yong who praise him. This big shot is like a great master! Hey, even if he got into trouble before and was severely beaten by his father, it was still worth it!
After praising Lu Sanlang and Zhang Chen by name, Ge Yong did not stop there. He also included Zhang Wu, Zhang Lu and other nobles, several poor families such as Deng Xiaodai and Qi Liang, and some from Jiuzhangtang Yan Liang and others. Students who studied and worked in a down-to-earth manner were greatly praised by him.
Therefore, while many people were grateful to Mrs. Ge, they also secretly felt grateful to Zhang Shou - if Zhang Shou hadn't often talked about these students in front of Mrs. Ge, how could he have done so based on Mrs. Ge's status?
Remember their names?
However, when Zhang Shou faced the admiring looks of the students, his face was calm, but his heart was full of confusion.
He did often praise his students in front of Ge Yong - completely different from his harshness in front of them, but those were all praises accumulated over time, little by little. He never expected that a busy man like Ge Yong would actually
He was able to remember it all, and he didn't expect that people would say it at such a critical moment, just to put some money on his face.
Others think that a teacher like him is a good teacher that students dream of, but he thinks that having a teacher like Ge Yong is a great blessing... Is there any teacher in the world who can think about his students all day long like Ge Yong?
Think about what anxious students are anxious about?
But Teacher Ge's performance today is far from over. He looked at the so-called wise men in the room with a look of hatred on his face.
"Aren't most of you in your hometown willing to educate and support the underachievers? Then when you get to the capital, why can't you help the underachievers in the public schools? Are you looking down on them?"
"Students in the public school are indeed polarized. Either they are the wealthy students in Banshan Hall, or they are the remaining children from poor families who are not young but illiterate, or they only know a few words and have no other knowledge. Among them, there are
It is true that most people are not outstanding talents, but the reason why ordinary people are ordinary people is precisely because they do not have the opportunity to come into contact with the world's sages."
"And if there are, who knows that there won't be one or two people among them who, because of the inspiring lectures of wise men and women from all walks of life, suddenly become ambitious and work hard, and finally stand out and turn into butterflies?"
"I have said before that the meaning of Chapter Nine is that the lecture will be held in the auditorium of the public school. As for the audience, it is the same as the lectures given by Chief Yue Shan and others before. It is more oriented towards examination exams, but it is not
It is said that all those who do not have the reputation of being a civil servant will be excluded."
"Who can guarantee that among those who have no fame and seem to be doing nothing now, in ten, twenty, or fifty years from now, will someone stand out and be famous all over the world? Therefore, the nine chapters are intended for the future.
This time I invite you to give lectures, and the people who come to listen to the lectures are still the same as the previous lectures given by Chief Yue Shan and others. Those who listen to the lectures only need to register first."
"However, firstly, it is intended to open up lecture places to those who have a good background, such as scholars and scholar supervisors, and secondly, it also intends to open up lecture places to those who have no fame but have good attitudes. Of course, the second type of people need
For interviews, speculators who come here with a utilitarian heart and just listen are definitely not welcome."
"As for public school students, other than Jiuzhang Hall and Banshan Hall, no matter which class they are, they can come to listen if they are willing, but they can only stand outside the auditorium and listen, without taking up a quota. I think if you come like this, no one will feel like you are
Your lectures are just playing the piano to others, and you let them take up your valuable lecture slots, right?"
With a quick glance, Ge Yong saw that most of the people at the main table had calm expressions, and he naturally understood the reason why these people were so calm and relaxed. Those who could sit at the same table with him were either highly respected, such as old friends like Chu Ying and Qi Jingshan, or people who had been there before.
For example, Lu Wan and Liu Zhiyuan are high-ranking officials, and the remaining three are also the kind of people who are not easy to express their opinions.
However, at the table further away, many people showed extremely excited expressions, and some even nodded gratefully to him, as if they were eager to agree immediately. But as to whether it was a false statement, that was only
These people themselves know it.
Therefore, Mrs. Ge immediately changed the topic and said: "Of course, if you find talents during the lectures...you can choose the talents and teach them, leaving a good story!"
Although this last sentence sounded like a joke, many people couldn't help but look at Zhang Shou and others. A student's apprenticeship is just like a teacher accepting a student. It depends on fate. For example, Ge Yong and Zhang
Shou, don't these two people who are obviously incompatible with each other become teachers and students?
Moreover, Zhang Shou did not stop giving Ge Yong face outside, and Ge Yong did not stop protecting Zhang Shou in front of others. This is a virtuous circle. And Zhang Shou accepted a lot of students, even if most of them were mediocre, but
Because of Lu Sanlang and a few others who stood out, and because the current prince admired Zhang Shou so much, Zhang Shou became a famous teacher in the eyes of countless people outside!
If they can find one or two talents among the people in the capital, and take them as students, they may not be able to achieve success in the future! Not all of the officials and nobles in the capital are valued by their families, and not all of them are valued by their families.
If someone can establish a relationship with Zhang Shou, maybe someone is still looking for an opportunity.
Moreover, among those talented people from small families, maybe some of them are just interested in their academic studies? Zhang Shou has set a good example for raising a noble son from a poor family!
Moreover, the students recruited in the capital have far greater chances of getting ahead than in examination centers in devilish places like Nanzhili and Jiangxi and Zhejiang. Maybe Zhang Shou, who facilitated this, and even Ge Yong behind it, will be happy to see it.
To increase their influence, they secretly provide certain help? If it weren't for the purpose of winning allies, why would Zhang Shou put forward such a suggestion, and how could Ge Yong support it clearly? The most important thing is, what if His Royal Highness the Prince also came to attend the lecture?
Woolen cloth?
Running a school of thought is not something that can only be achieved if someone from the school serves as a Beijing official. After all, there are so many Beijing officials, and the vast majority of them are poor and powerless officials. And the once famous censor may also be defeated by one move.
If you miss, you will be beaten forever. Therefore, except for those famous schools, the inheritance of most so-called local sages and schools is very worrying.
So, at this moment, as the first person praised loudly that this was a grand event, there was an endless stream of echoing voices. Even though there were a lot of people who remained silent, obviously watching or disapproving, but this
At least it was a pretty good start. And as the two former bosses, Lu Wan and Liu Zhiyuan, started to lend their support... the wedding banquet felt like a symposium!
The teacher said everything he could say, so Zhang Shou simply kept thinking about it secretly while wearing a perfect smile. When these guests disperse tonight, they will spread the word. Anyway, it was not him who planned it, it was him.
Planned... Of course, this matter is not harmful to him at all. It is just to make some elders in the court hate him. Anyway, those who should be hated have already hated him!
Zhu Tingfang, who was mixed in at the wedding banquet, heard everyone agreeing or complimenting him. Although Zhang Shou responded appropriately, it seemed a bit perfunctory. He finally got the hint. It seemed that Zhang Shou was rarely fooled by others!
