Commander Peng was not a magnanimous person, and he claimed to be ill for almost a whole month. Although it was not known whether he was really ill or fake, the construction of Yulin Health School was indeed delayed because of this.
Faced with Commander Peng's laziness, Governor Yang had no choice but to bring Fang Yingwu in for discussion. "The place and manpower are easy to talk about. We have already started, and we can continue without the Peng surname, but the money problem is difficult to solve."
."
Fang Yingwu took the money and said: "The money will be provided by late students for the time being, and it will not be a problem until at least this year."
He continued to explain: "The social school run by Wansheng received donations from local celebrities to fund the education, and raised about a few hundred taels. However, a mere social school could not use that much, and the rest was used to build a health school.
It’s quite appropriate.”
Governor Yang was a little surprised, "There are actually so many? Then there is no need for Commander Peng for the time being. Just ask him to recuperate. You will continue to organize the Yulin Health School."
"Follow your orders!" Fang Yingwu sincerely wanted to spend the money. The money he got from this overnight fortune was a bit hot and too ostentatious. He was just thinking about how to deal with it, but Commander Peng pretended to be sick.
gave him a chance.
As a result, Fang Yingwu's thoughts were temporarily devoted to health studies and social studies.
The Weixue was in a busy construction stage, and Fang Yingwu was too lazy to be the foreman. With the power of the governor, he transferred Ambassador Guangyou Kusun to serve as the supervisor. He also promised Ambassador Sun that after the Weixue was completed, he would be the foreman.
The school's teachings are all about being a low-ranking official anyway.
On the social studies side, not everyone is recruited. Fang Yingwu's social studies is a preparatory school for further study for next year's college entrance examination, not an enlightenment school.
Fang Yingwu himself has no interest in being an enlightenment teacher. He spends a lot of effort to teach others from scratch that "human nature is inherently good" and "the universe is dark and yellow". Therefore, when recruiting students, only those who have a certain foundation are admitted. In the end,
At least he should be literate and able to read thoroughly, and he should not be more than twenty-five years old.
Under this premise, Fang Yingwu came up with a number of four-book questions, and those who could answer them in person could enroll in the school for free unconditionally. As a result, only ten people in the entire Yansui Town could answer the questions.
Others want to go to school and have to study hard, and they still spend money because they are convinced that they can't answer the questions, so they can't blame others.
In addition, there were a few people who couldn't even read the characters. Originally, Fang Yingwu didn't want to accept them. But their family was willing to pay a huge sum of money, so Fang Yingwu just turned a blind eye and accepted them.
He said: The income of several hundred taels of education comes largely from these people.
A total of sixty people were taken in. One-third were children of the officers and soldiers of the Yulin camp, one-third were children of military households in the guard station, and one-third were children of other camps and forts in Yansui Town and children of craftsmen households.
.
Therefore, Fang Yingwu took great pains to recruit students. After all, these people will be the first batch of scholars in Yansui Town. Countless pairs of eyes are watching, and every aspect must be taken care of, leaving people speechless.
But there is only one thing: not one of the officials' children who came from the Yulin Weiwei Office will be accepted. Fang Yingwu's attitude towards this is very tough. He will never accept anything.
Even the young masters of the commanding family had to be turned away. There was even a shameless social studies student who was expelled by Fang Yingwu for drinking with Mr. Peng, and someone else took the place.
It’s not that Teacher Fang resented Commander Peng for robbing him of his job; it wasn’t that Teacher Fang resented that Young Master Peng had framed him and twice arrested him into the Zhenfu Department; it wasn’t that Teacher Fang still remembered that when he first arrived in Yulin City, he was guarded by the Yamen
The department refused to accept it and almost had no place to live, so he ended up working as a clerk in a warehouse.
Only by contrast can you stand out. Only by comparison can you know what is good or bad. If you don't suppress your enemies, how can you show your style as a top student? How can you be a cultural authority without creating a group of people to be shunned? How can you make others realize it without making others regret it?
Is the identity of a social studies student precious?
Classes began as soon as the students were admitted. The social studies rule set by Fang Yingwu was to give lectures and write compositions every single day. After all, he was also a staff member of the governor, so it was impossible for him to attend classes every day.
The lectures mainly focus on explaining the Four Books, with a few sentences about the Spring and Autumn Period mixed in occasionally. I don’t know the level of Fang Da’s scholar, but it is enough to be a teacher in Yulin City. In other words, his level is not important. He can lead the sociology students to enter next year.
Just learn to be a scholar.
In addition, Fang Yingwu also established the first literary club in Yulin City and told students that participating in club organizations was a very fashionable behavior, and it had already become popular in Jiangsu and Zhejiang.
Of course young people enjoy drinking and partying, but their poetry and lyrics skills still need to be improved slowly and there is no rush.
During this period, Fang Yingwu often lamented that it was really a blank piece of paper for painting. If it were placed in the mainland, especially in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, how could a mere scholar be allowed to do whatever he wanted, and control the rising channels of the reading industry with a near-monopoly?
This possibility is only possible in the newly established border town of Yulin. Every move he made was groundbreaking. The first Confucianism, the first social science, the first batch of students, the first literary society
When future generations compile chronicles such as Yulin Wei Zhi or Yansui Zhen Zhi, when it comes to education and culture, they must highlight it. If there is a sentence: "The local talents have been raised since the governor Yang Hao, and the students will be able to respond to things."
"This can be regarded as a book of fame and ambition.
On this day, when Fang Yingwu was teaching the Analects to sixty students in the courtyard of Social Studies Middle School, he suddenly saw the governor-general appear at the door and waved vigorously at him.
Fang Yingwu stopped his lecture, put down his book, and asked, "What's the matter?" Director Fu followed him and ran to Fang Yingwu's side, saying in a low voice: "If there is an emergency, my master will ask Mr. Fang to go to the funeral home immediately."
Fang Yingwu then told the students: "That's it for today." Then he got up and left.
When they arrived at the Governor's Procuratorate, Fang Yingwu was not taken to the court, but directly to the study room in the inner courtyard. Governor Yang and Master Cui were both present, but there was no one else. From the looks of it, they wanted to discuss matters in secret.
Seeing Fang Yingwu come in, Governor Yang did not say any greetings, but told him directly: "I just received an urgent report from the defenders of Hongshi Gorge that Mantulu, the captive chieftain, wants to send an envoy to pay tribute."
Fang Yingwu suddenly realized that this was the case. It was not unusual for the north to send people to pay tribute in recent years. The theme of bilateral relations was invasion and tribute. It was a very strange situation.
However, there were some opportunities that could be exploited. Fang Yingwu did not answer, and instead asked Master Cui: "What is Mr. Cui's advice?"
Master Cui stroked his beard and smiled and said: "Brother Fang said when he was in Mizhi, there are arrogant and powerful generals inside, and there are rising thieves outside. So it is up to you to deal with the thieves. I have to be self-aware.
"
Governor Yang also smiled and urged: "There is no need to pretend to be humble. You claim to be among the people in the world. When it comes to understanding the Beilu, no one is better than you. If you have any ideas, just say it."
