Commander Peng walked around the location of the health school several times and was almost furious. He didn't like anyone, and even his own son was kicked several times for blocking the road.
This is not just his matter, Peng Qing's, but also Eunuch Zhang's. The two of them had agreed in advance to use this opportunity to recruit students to seize a batch of places, then sell them for money, and finally split the stolen goods in half. Even if it is not possible this time
It’s nice to have all the spots in hand, but half of them would be great too.
According to Commander Peng's estimation, if it works well, it is possible for each person to earn hundreds or even thousands of taels of silver, and in addition, he can also gather a group of contacts.
Although the Bianzhen area is relatively poor, with so many military attaches here, they can squeeze out some money. After all, scholars with great reputations are worth spending money to obtain, and it is rare to have a large number of places.
In the past few days, Commander Peng has collected money from several people in advance and received more than 200 taels. The situation is very gratifying.
But if the governor and Fang Yingwu are allowed to continue doing this, he will not only spit out the money, but also make people laugh! The joke is that he does not know what he can do!
Thinking of this, Commander Peng couldn't help but said bitterly: "What's so great? I'll go to nearby Mizhisuide to invite a few scholars to set up a social school!"
His natal relative quickly advised him: "Mr. Peng, please listen to my advice and don't think so. If the social studies were easy to run, someone would have done it long ago. If there is a way to deal with things here, you can't do it, and you will still make trouble in the end."
joke!
Not to mention that Fang Yingwu may participate in the college examination next year, and he may be taken care of if he joins his sociology department. Even from Fang Yingwu's own perspective, he is a scholar from Zhejiang, a major province in the imperial examination!
This is much more valuable than the scholars in the northwest border. This is a golden sign. There is really no one within a few hundred miles that can compare with it.
Not to mention Yansui Town, even the nearby Mizhi Suide has not produced a Jinshi in recent decades. The number of people who have graduated can be counted on one hand. Where can you find a better teacher than Fang Yingwu?
Even if you find a better one, others will not believe that the level of scholars in this area is higher than that of Fang Yingwu. The scholars in Jiangsu and Zhejiang who can be selected as scholars are extremely perverted. Besides, you have not heard other recent rumors.
What?"
"What other rumors are there?" Commander Peng asked. He was surprised. Everyone seemed to know a lot of rumors recently, so why didn't he know about them?
The relative answered truthfully: "There are rumors in the city that this sixteen-year-old scholar Fang Yingwu is a child prodigy. He must have a bright future at such a young age.
Moreover, he is the scholar selected by the academic officer of Zhejiang Province, and the next provincial examination will be hosted by this academic officer. Therefore, it is not a problem for him to win the exam. Even in the further examination, with his background and talent, he will be very good.
Be sure of it!"
Commander Peng pretended to be disdainful and said: "Even if he can win the Jinshi, it will be of no use to the local people. Besides, he won't win the Jinshi right now. A group of people are flocking to him, and they won't lose face."
The relative shook his head and explained: "Scholars pay great attention to relationships and connections, such as teachers, fellow students, fellow students, and so on. Without such connections, you will not be able to enter the circle of scholars.
If Fang Yingwu becomes a Jinshi scholar in the future, he will have a great future. Then wouldn’t those who join the social sciences today be all students and disciples of Fang Jinshi? With this relationship, there will naturally be conditions for integrating into the scholarly community.
If local people are interested in studying, where can they find such a beautiful thing? Looking at the local area, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is unprecedented. There is not even a scholar, let alone such a person to cling to.
It's true that Futai is a scholar, but Futai can't put down his arrogance. He doesn't have the time. Only scholars like Fang Yingwu who came to Yulin by chance can run schools and recruit apprentices in large numbers.
If you miss this opportunity, if you want to gain a connection with Qingliu next time, you will have to wait until Yansui Town produces one of your own as a Jinshi. I wonder if we will see it in our lifetime?"
The more he heard others talking about Fang Yingwu's benefits, the more he felt distressed. He sneered and said, "Looking at what you said seems to be true, are you sure that Fang Yingwu will become a Jinshi in the future? Don't wink.
Show it to the blind man!"
"That doesn't matter, haven't you heard some other rumors?"
What the hell are there rumors? Are there rumors all over the city that only he, Peng Qing, doesn’t know about? Commander Peng suddenly lost his temper and became furious!
He cursed loudly: "Just say what you say and let it go! Don't let rumors spread!"
The relative knew that Commander Peng had a bad temper. Although he was unhappy when he was scolded, he could only endure it because of the power of the commander. He said cautiously: "There is also news that the master of Fang Yingwu is the former Chief Assistant Shang Xianggong.
His father was a member of the Imperial Academy. In particular, his maternal grandfather was Wang Shu, the governor of Jiangnan, who came from a wealthy scholarly family in Sanyuan, Shaanxi. Wang Shu's son founded the best academy in the province.
Even if Fang Yingwu doesn't get Jinshi in the future, as long as he joins the community and learns from Fang Yingwu, he can call himself the disciple of Shang Xianggong and Fang Shuchang in the future? Can he have a little relationship with Mr. Wang Shu of Sanyuan?
With this kind of connection, you can be considered as having a family lineage, which is better than being alone with nothing at all. Maybe you can join the Miyuan Wang family and go to Sanyuan Academy to study. Isn't this much better than living in a small world in Yulin City?"
Commander Peng wanted to scold but couldn't. Although he was still extremely angry, he didn't know what to scold. He didn't want to admit that he was a short-sighted frog in the well.
From the beginning, Commander Peng did not realize Fang Yingwu's wealth at all. In his eyes, Fang Yingwu was just a poor scholar with a little background and was trapped by reality. In Yulin City, which was far away from the emperor, he was completely
He was no match for him. But he didn't expect that Fang Yingwu would be able to bring his advantages into full play and realize them.
It is said that Fang Yingwu borrowed money from Ambassador Sun just to set up a social school. This kind of social school is not as troublesome as official Confucianism. It does not need to deliberately select a site, let alone build a school palace according to the regulations of left temple and right school.
There is no need for a school dormitory or anything like that.
As long as a place and a private school teacher can be found, the social school can be opened immediately. It is very simple. Fang Yingwu rented two courtyards from the Guandi Temple in the city, and then hung up the plaque of Yulin Social School, and it was opened.
Such a grass-roots social school was completely overrun on the day it opened. Countless parents showed up uninvited, crying and shouting that they wanted to send their children to school.
As the saying goes, if the mountain is not high, it will be famous if there are immortals; if the water is not deep, if there is a dragon, it will be spiritual. This is a humble house, but I am virtuous.
As for Commander Peng’s official Confucian school opening ceremony today, of course no one paid attention to it. The entrance to the school has been blocked by Governor Yang and Fang Yingwu. If you can’t get into the Health School in the end, it will give Commander Peng the face to attend the opening ceremony.
What is the purpose of ceremony?
Ambassador Sun, who came to help, stood at the entrance of Guandi Temple and watched various prominent figures coming and going.
Deputy Commander General Yue arrived, four at the guerrilla level, and seven or eight at the Qianzong level. Ambassador Sun was dumbfounded as if he were in a dream.
He also witnessed with his own eyes that the money lent to Fang Yingwu was recovered after only half an hour of opening, and that Fang Yingwu, who was the private tutor, was merciless.
No wonder Fang Yingwu vowed to repay him twice as much money after today. According to this trend, it will not be a problem to earn dozens of times today. After his eyes were opened, Ambassador Sun was extremely emotional, education is really a huge profit industry.
"Wrong!" Fang Yingwu corrected: "This is called knowledge is power!"
However, he said that Commander Peng could only watch as the Yingwu area was bustling with activity again, while his own area was deserted. After much deliberation, he couldn't think of anything he could do.
After all, he was just the commander of the actual Tutu Guard Station, not the governor of the feudal frontier, so he went to the guarding officer Zhang Eunuch for help.
The Yansui garrison eunuch Zhang Xia and Eunuch Zhang were actually not very greedy for money. He had his reasons for wanting to plunder the money this time.
Eunuch Zhang had been stationed in Yansui Bian Town for several years, and he really didn't want to endure the hardship. Especially because he had participated in the war and was promoted from guarding young prisoner to guarding eunuch. With his success and fame, he had no intention of staying in Yansui Town for a long time.
He didn't want to go back to the capital, he just wanted to leave the difficult border town and move to a place where life was comfortable in the mainland. It happened that Eunuch Zhang had recently caught up with the popular eunuch Liang Fang who was next to the emperor and Concubine Wan Gui, but Liang Fang As a man who is greedy for money, he needs a sum of money to operate.
Hearing that Commander Peng came to complain again, Eunuch Zhang said helplessly: "Things like fame and fame are originally a matter for scholars. You and I are both outsiders. Even if we intervene forcefully, how can we screw them? The governor holds the king's orders. Flags and edicts are not vegetarian either."
Commander Peng asked stubbornly: "No matter what, we have to try again, and we can't let Fang Yingwu get all the benefits."
Eunuch Zhang sighed, "Forget it, I'll write another letter and ask Governor Yang about his attitude."
When this letter was delivered to Governor Yang, Fang Yingwu happened to be there, reporting his behavior and some ideas for future exams to Governor Yang.
Seeing the letter from Eunuch Zhang, Fang Yingwu said proudly to the messenger: "Go and tell Commander Peng a few words. If you can ask him to preside over the construction of the academy, he will have burned incense for several lifetimes and returned it." What do you think?
A mere warrior who doesn't want to train and serve the country, but also wants to meddle in literary affairs? He is like a shameless clown, extremely ridiculous! Commander Peng himself also said that in this world, strength is respected, and he has not the slightest bit of literary talent The strength?"
Eunuch Zhang was also a cultural eunuch who had studied in the palace's inner library since he was a child. He felt a little inferior to genuine scholars and did not want to continue to struggle with this matter.
He then called Commander Peng over again and told him: "Actually, what Fang Yingwu said is right. Even if I complain to His Majesty, how can I make excuses? Education and fame are the exclusive domain of literati, and we must take them from the hands of literati. If you grab these, you will be laughed at by everyone in the world and laugh at us as toads who want to eat swan meat."
Even the last hope was unreliable, and he was humiliated by Fang Yingwu for nothing. When he returned home, Commander Peng was still furious and smashed two blue and white jars in one breath. According to the price in the 21st century, his descendants The loss is estimated to be hundreds of millions of yuan.
