Chapter 13 Apprenticeship
However, because the school has not officially started, a senior senior came to replace the class on the podium, but it was no one else. It was the Thom Eyebrow who had had a conversation with Lin Fengjin yesterday. At this time, he had already introduced his name: Zheng Gong.
Lin Fengjin didn't care. The college had long issued a list of books, which was similar to textbooks, and students had to prepare them themselves. Students who had rich families could buy them, but those who had no money were provided by the college to copy them themselves.
At this time, most of the students in the classroom were copying books, because at least half of the outer disciples here were local Dong tribe students, so they would definitely not be able to buy ready-made books. The Legal Academy is not like a Confucian Academy, which requires studying the Four Books and Five Classics. The main textbooks for their outer disciples are the ancient books "Three Tombs" and "Five Classics".
Among them, "Three Tombs" tells the concepts and deeds of the ancient saints Fuxi, Shennong and the emperor. If you can read it thoroughly and gain something, you will teach the Legalist book "Shangjun Book". If you have gained something from Shangjun Book study, you can pass the exam to "enter the house" and become a disciple of the house.
Of course, Lin Fengjin would not copy books, so he opened the book "Three Tombs" casually. At first glance, he felt that his head was big. His ancient characters were vividly displayed on the paper, as bright and boring as the hoof prints of a thousand grass mud horses. Fortunately, at this time, the thick-browed brother Zheng Gong found that the classroom was in good order, so he aimed at it.
He glanced at Lin Fengjin's name and whispered seriously:
"Senior Brother Lin, what you said yesterday is very reasonable. I have been taught. But you are a little newcomer and may not know a few rules. So today I would like to mention you a few words. If you don't use an example, you won't be like this tomorrow."
Lin Fengjin smiled and said:
"Please give me some advice.
Lin Fengjin had thought he was targeted before, but after hearing the senior Zheng's serious statement, he knew that he had guessed wrong because it was impossible to wear small shoes to this extent.
First of all, the academy requires students to wear "school uniforms". Of course, this school uniform is not customized like now, but only requires wearing dark-colored long gowns. The purpose of this is to distinguish them from ordinary people and give students a sense of responsibility and superiority as scholars.
In addition, the academy also has five-sheets specifically for students, "leave book", "lecture book", "deye book", "food book" and "suzhai book". Among them, the lecture book records the situation of the mountain manager's lecture, the deye book registers the students' homework, the food book is used to collect money and rice, and the suzhai book is used to collect lamp oil and charcoal. Mingdao Academy also stipulates that all three people who visit the temple, listen to lectures, and provide classes need to be registered. They are absent three times and are "dismissed and stay in the service". Lin Fengjin did not fill in the five-sheet today.
Secondly, when scholars study in academy, they are not like in later generations. Those who have winter and summer vacations, children's Day, Youth Day, Weekend, Sunday and other holidays, only classes will be closed during the Chinese New Year. In addition, they will have one day off every ten days. You cannot take leave for more than three months.
Finally, in order to check the students' learning effect, the academy also has an examination system, which mainly tests two aspects: morality and academic performance. There are three small exams every month. Those who have good exams and scores in the top three in the class can receive a reward of money and accumulate points. If they accumulate to a certain level, they will be upgraded. Only those with high points can enter the entrance examination. The disciples who enter the room get the recommendation letter from the academy to participate in the imperial examination by the scores.
To put it simply, the recommendation letters of the academy are like extra points in the college entrance examination and are very abnormal. For example, the recommendation letters of Tianchang Academy, if you get the Western Rong, which has a relatively powerful force in the Legalists, you can add one or two hundred points at least, and you can add at least fifty or sixty in the Southern Zheng and Northern Qi.
The days that followed became monotonous, and Lin Fengjin was not suppressed by any bullying or anything like that. After all, this place was a pure academy rather than a gangster.
After getting in touch with him for a lot, Lin Fengjin even found that Zheng Gong, a big eyebrows, is not a top student, just because his family is poor and has a strong sense of self-esteem. He will be a little sensitive and suspicious when he looks at him for a few more times. In fact, he is also a person who is easy to get along with.
In response to this, Lin Fengjin made some corresponding actions to bring closer relationships. For example, at noon one day, he told Senior Zheng that he forgot to bring a meal and hoped that Senior Zheng would treat him to a meal. Zheng Gong was also generous, although his family was poor, he agreed in one bite, but of course he could only invite Lin Fengjin to eat vegetables and carrots.
Fortunately, Lin Fengjin also ate this simple meal with relish and did not dislike it. Then Lin Fengjin naturally had to give in to Senior Zheng and invited Senior Zheng. Senior Zheng hesitated for a while and went there. Lin Fengjin did not prepare any big fish and meat, but took him to the tavern next to the academy to deal with it. The principle of interaction between the two sides adhered to the three words "normal heart".
After a while, Lin Fengjin threw out his collection of books as bait. Although Senior Zheng has strong self-esteem, he cannot resist the temptation of books. Therefore, the relationship between the two gradually became good. Not to mention whether they have to sleep together! It is true that they have a close relationship.
I found that Senior Zheng also had a quirk, that is, he liked to take a bath and wash his feet alone, so he was often teased by his classmates as Zhu Yingtai, but everyone has their own personality, and it is no big deal.
But the rest of the people who were on the same journey with Zheng Gong were much narrower, especially Lu Ping with small eyes and Ou Qi next to him. When he saw Lin Fengjin, he didn't say anything at all and left with a high voice. In the words of these people, he just wanted to keep me in a bad mood. However, Lin Fengjin would not use his hot face to stick to other people's cold butts, and he wanted to deliberately please people.
As the days passed day by day, Lin Fengjin gradually came to the academy for more than a month. He was a human being for two lifetimes, so he was naturally good at talking to people and talking to ghosts. In addition, he had money and was not stingy, so he had a good relationship among classmates.
Although Lin Fengjin felt that studying was his hard work, he was very good at his best. At least he had the skill of memorizing by rote. He could not be said to be among the top in terms of homework, but he could finally make his move. Of course, that was compared to the disciples of the outer school. In addition, he had more knowledge from later generations, and some new things would appear in his words and deeds.
However, there is a saying that if you take too much, you will get rid of it. For people today, even if you are a profound scholar, you still lack insight. After Lin Fengjin's remarks are put forward, they are often criticized. Apart from leaving the teacher with an impression of "a rather strange thought" (please note that it is strange thought, not ingenious thought), there is no gain.
In addition, Lin Fengjin has another strange thing that people talk about, that is, his handwriting is really ugly. Perhaps because he used too many fountain pens and keyboards in his previous life, it was really difficult to hold a brush to write.
After the first month of monthly exam, Lin Fengjin barely struggled to squeeze into the top ten in the exam for external disciples. This was all due to his rote memorization. Why should we mention the top ten? Because in addition to the extra money and points rewards for the top ten in the monthly exam, those who enter the top ten in the monthly exam can also have the opportunity to intern.
Although it is said that it is a controversy among hundreds of schools of thought, in the final analysis, these schools of thought still rely on the political and economic systems of the five countries to realize their own value. In fact, it is very simple in the final analysis. Which theory of the ruling class is most useful, then it is certain that the power of which one will develop stronger.
The same is true for the Legalists. His fundamental purpose of teaching was actually to please the rulers at that time and to prove that his academic career was actually the most useful.
The fundamental of the Legalists is the "rule of law". Ruling the country with law determines that the students he trained are mostly good at criminal law. But in this regard, if you want to cultivate useful talents, experience is the most important thing. It is hard to imagine that a scholar who has no experience and memorizes the rules and regulations well can become a clear-headed Bao Qingtian as soon as he comes out.
Therefore, almost every Legal college attaches great importance to the implementation of "practice", which is what we call internship now. The reason why Lin Fengjin wanted to squeeze into the top ten outer courtyards was that he heard from Senior Zheng that Gongcao He, who was in charge of the criminal name of Fang Kang County, was also an old senior from the Legal family. The disciples in the top ten outer courtyards and the inner courtyards could go to Lord He for a tenth study every once in a while.
These people went there, called helping copy documents and sorting out warehouses. In fact, they compared what they learned and the case files in the prefectures and counties one by one, confirming what they learned, and can put forward different opinions.
At the same time, when copying documents, they will also allocate the work and food silver in portions, which can be regarded as a cost-effective job for work and study.
At the same time, Gongcao will also attach great importance to the opinions put forward by the students of the academy, because if a wrong judgment occurs, it will have a great impact on the performance exam once every three years. Even if it is a common mistake, Shangguan's comments may only be Zhongping and have no chance of being good. There is undoubtedly a scar on the way to be promoted.
The clerks in the punishment room also welcomed these students to come because these students were actually helping them with their work. Now that the five countries are competing for hegemony, the monarchs attach great importance to the administration of officials. Are there any unjust and wrong cases? There must be some, but relatively speaking, it is definitely not a common phenomenon. Therefore, clerks and others are not afraid of any shady scenes being knocked out.
On the second day after the exam results came out, Lin Fengjin received a notice that he would pack his parcel the next day and stay outside for five days, and he would bring some clothes and other things. When he left, he realized that this time, Lord He from Fangkang County had an urgent matter, so he had to go to Canggui in the neighboring county temporarily.
