After hearing the concubine say a few words, Fang Yingwu said "Oh", got up and went out to meet Master Wang. If he went out late, he would be treated as if he was being treated poorly.
Seeing that Fang Yingwu's clothes were not neat and tidy, and not seeing his daughter appear at the first time, Master Wang naturally realized that his sudden visit this morning probably interrupted the young couple's interest.
After entering the main room, Fang Yingwu asked Mr. Wang to sit down. While waiting for Sister Lan to tidy up inside and come out to serve tea, he greeted: "Long time no see, Old Taishan. I must have nothing to do without going to the Three Treasures Hall today."
When he mentioned his intention, Master Wang became anxious and said, "My job is gone, so I came here to ask you for help!"
"Don't be anxious, Old Taishan. If you have something to say, speak slowly. Can the sky still fall?" Fang Yingwu said with a smile.
"You have been studying hard at Xianggong Shang during this period, ignoring foreign affairs, and you don't know the situation? The new academic officer suddenly came to Linchun'an County a few days ago, reorganized the county school, and held the annual examination. This time
The Grand Master has taken a serious action, and more than a dozen scholars have been designated as the sixth class and will be eliminated as Qingyi!"
Clothes represent a person's status. Qingjin is a scholar, while Qingyi is nothing. At most, he is a candidate. As for whether he can be a candidate, only God knows.
Fang Yingwu was slightly surprised. During this period, he had been in seclusion. He was immersed in Juanju Academy. He could be said to be deaf to what was going on outside the window. He only focused on writing eight-legged essays, but he had no idea that such a sensational thing had happened in the county.
Originally, the annual examination was mostly a formality, and the results were divided into six grades. The sixth grade was unqualified. Sometimes it was the presiding officer, sometimes the magistrate presided over it. Generally, a few scholars who had no intention of becoming famous were pointed out as unqualified. But this
Grandmaster Li really showed his sincerity and actually killed more than a dozen people in one breath.
The Tixueguan is in charge of the academic affairs of a province. His task is not only to preside over a township examination and various prefectural examinations, but also has the important task of supervising the school. It is indeed within his duties to eliminate the unworthy county students. It only depends on the personal leniency of the great master.
How's it going?
"But what does this have to do with you?" Fang Yingwu asked in surprise. Master Wang Shu was just an old boy, and he couldn't be eliminated from the selection of scholars. He didn't even have the qualifications.
Teacher Wang slapped the armrest of the chair bitterly, "Why doesn't it matter? All the students who have been laid off will be dealt with in social studies!"
"What does Fashe Study do?"
Speaking of this, Master Wang was on the verge of tears. "The Grand Master reviewed the registers of the county's government-run social schools again, selected a dozen or so that had failed to improve, and dismissed all the existing private school teachers. Then he would
The eliminated students will be sent to social schools to serve as new teachers while studying. If they achieve success in the future, they can also be reinstated as students..."
Fang Yingwu couldn't explain how he felt, so he asked again: "Old Taishan, are you among those being dismissed?"
Master Wang nodded sadly. He was really sitting at home behind closed doors. Misfortune came from the sky. He felt that he was really unjust, even more unjust than Dou E. This great master moved his little finger, and his iron rice bowl of more than ten years was about to disappear.
Already.
Since Taizu, every fifty schools in all parts of the world have been required to establish a social school as a basic school for educating people's hearts. However, the conditions in different places are different, and the implementation of policies is also different. Due to limited financial resources, it is difficult for most areas to
reach intensity.
There are more than 50 social schools in various townships in Chun'an County. Most of them are very small, with only three or two rooms and a few desks. In addition, several acres of government land are allocated for school fields. Although they are simple, they also provide facilities for many children from poor families.
Channels of enlightenment.
Huaxi Social School, where Teacher Wang has been teaching for more than ten years, is one of the government-run social schools in Chun'an County. Back then, he was also a poor boy who failed the exams many times and could not survive. However, with the help of Wang, a wealthy family member in the same village, he
I got a position as a teacher in a government-run social school, and I had enough to eat from then on.
Originally, it was good to live an ordinary life like this, but unexpectedly something bad happened, and this time he was also included in the dismissal list - Teacher Wang also wanted to pass this position to his children and grandchildren.
After introducing his situation, Master Wang looked expectantly at his cheap son-in-law. He had no connections and no money. He wanted to keep his iron job, so he had some hope with Fang Yingwu.
Fang Yingwu pondered for a moment, and then praised selflessly: "What the Grand Master has done is very good! Get rid of the incompetent teachers who are dawdling, and select candidates with higher standards to take over, and at the same time give them hope of recovery.
, this is a good thing!
The standard of social studies teaching will definitely be much higher than before. It can be said to be a huge benefit to our hometown. The schoolchildren who want to make progress will benefit a lot! Running water does not rot and door hinges do not have beetles. If it can be implemented in the long run, it will be a great achievement.
Good governance!”
Eight-legged essays are very good at training logic and formulaic skills. Fang Yingwu couldn't help but think from a high position, take a far-sighted view, and talk eloquently, pointing out the significance of the great master's move. But as he was talking, he noticed Master Wang's expression.
No, it’s getting darker and darker...
Only then did he remember that Lao Taishan was among the group of dismissed teachers. He said that he was an "incompetent teacher who was dawdling around" and inadvertently included him. His class stance just now was very problematic...
....
Sister Lan came in with a hot teapot and poured tea for her husband and father, resolving the embarrassment at this time.
After a moment of silence, Fang Yingwu scratched his head, considered his meaning and said: "In the entire Huaxi area, my father has been a talented scholar for more than ten years, and my father has more outstanding talents.
Moreover, there are not even a few children. As for me, it is more of a speculation. So the results of Huaxi Social Studies are really not good. You, the old man, are really not very good at this private school..."
"Do you want to say that this is my mistake?" Master Wang Shu finally couldn't help but burst out, blowing his beard and glaring.
Fang Yingwu recalled that he was rejected by social studies on the first day he traveled through time. He couldn't help but secretly sighed. He, an old man, was quite self-aware when it came to misleading others.
"Well, I am indeed not very thoughtful, but Huaxi has always had no literary style, and no one cares about learning. Sociology is just a decoration. How many years can't you blame me if you haven't produced anyone? Besides, do you want to help me or not?
!"
Fang Yingwu laughed, "I just said a few words casually, Lao Taishan said something serious!"
Wang Lan said good words and begged: "My father has no other property. If he loses his position as a social studies teacher, the family will inevitably be in danger of hunger and cold in the future. I am really helpless, please lend a hand."
Fang Yingwu thought about it and put aside his preconception that he knew that Grand Master Li Shishi would rebel forty years later. What he was doing now could definitely be regarded as conscientious and conscientious, and he was actually following the rules of an official.
Not slacking off in the prefecture, but personally checking in with the county, this is a sign of hard work; adopting a method of anonymity and treating candidates equally, this is the elimination of personal relationships; eliminating unqualified students and teachers, this is the courage to do one's job.
But the favor is here... Fang Yingwu sighed and said to Master Wang and his daughter: "I have never met the Grand Master, and I am just a little boy. What do you want me to do?
Also, if I am not a scholar in this Taoist test, it is all in the hands of the Grand Master. You asked me to clear the joints. If I offend the Grand Master and make me lose my reputation as a scholar, will I have to pay for it?"
Sister Lan looked worried when she heard this. After comparing her thoughts for a moment, she felt that her husband's reputation was more important.
She then turned to Master Wang and said, "Father, it's better to forget it this time and look for a plan slowly in the future. It's an important time for my husband to strive for fame, so don't create extra problems."
However, Master Wang said with full confidence: "I know that a good son-in-law must have a way."
Fang Yingwu helplessly hinted: "Why rush, just endure it for a while. The Grand Master is an imperial envoy of the imperial court. It is impossible for him to stay in Chun'an County for a long time. He will leave eventually."
Master Wang's eyes lit up, "What do you mean..."
"After the Grand Master leaves, Mr. Wang will not have the final say in the county. Then we can find ways to intercede with Mr. Wang! Trying to bring the Grand Master's bad luck now is like adding fuel to the fire. It is not cost-effective.
.”
Master Wang relaxed and nodded repeatedly: "Okay, okay, that's all I need to say, now I have nothing to worry about."
Fang Yingwu couldn't help but joked: "You have actually thought of it a long time ago, are you just waiting for my words?"
Although Li Ti learned to leave, he will still be the academic official of Zhejiang within three years. With Wang Zhixian's temperament, I really don't know if he dares to modify Li Tixue's measures without authorization. However, Fang Yingwu will certainly not ruin the scenery at this time.
This worry comes from seeking trouble.
Wang Lan left her father to have lunch, then turned around to light the fire and cook. Fang Yingwu and Master Wang continued to chat: "The Grand Master dismissed more than a dozen students in one breath, how can others tolerate this?"
"There are a lot of dissatisfied people, especially when almost all of the employees being laid off this time come from wealthy families. They may not be motivated and have been living on their fame, but to be deprived of their fame all of a sudden, of course, is hard to bear!" Wang
The private school teacher sighed.
Although Mr. Wang also suffered the same fate and temporarily lost his iron job, Grandmaster Li's style of not fearing the powerful and treating everyone equally still awes him and he has to praise him as a good official!
Even Fang Yingwu was confused. How could the future great rebel be such an honest and upright person?
Could it be that he was stimulated by something in the future and his personality changed drastically and went to extremes, so he went back to rebel with Prince Ning? Or maybe he is now at the end of the top three and serves as an academic official in Zhejiang, so he must have suffered all kinds of criticism, so he is holding back
Are you angry and want to show your achievements to others?
But Fang Yingwu vaguely felt that it was not that simple. Otherwise, why would Mr. Shang's attitude be so playful when he mentioned this person?
Fang Yingwu suddenly discovered that he had made an oversight. When he was living in the study room, he was excited at first because he could gain seniority by Mr. Shang's side. Later, he was so excited by the eight-part essay every day that he forgot to ask Mr. Shang about the great master.
tone of voice.
He was sure that Shang Xianggong must know something.
Fang Yingwu chatted with Master Wang for a few more words. Suddenly, he saw a villager running out of the hall panting. The other party Yingwu shouted: "A team of senior officials have arrived in Xiahuaxi and are looking for you, my young husband. Over there."
The folks sent the message over here!"
Fang Yingwu was surprised and said: "High official? What high official?"
The man replied: "I don't know, I just heard that he is wearing a red robe!"
Red robe? According to the imperial system, only official uniforms of the fourth rank and above are crimson. Currently, the only official in Chun'an County who can wear crimson uniforms is Li Shishi, the fourth-rank Zhejiang inspector and deputy envoy Siti Xue.
The great master in the mouth of scholars.
Master Wang was almost shocked. The great master with extremely noble status actually came to visit him? His cheap son-in-law is not an ordinary person, not an ordinary person!
Fang Tongsheng reacted the fastest and jumped up immediately, shouting inside: "Stop cooking! Prepare to boil water for tea! I'll go to the small pavilion in the woods behind the mountain and wait!"
Sister Lan hurriedly came out, frowning and said: "The pavilion has not been cleaned for three months, and the ground is very dirty. How can anyone sit in it?"
Fang Yingwu dug out a straw mat for summer use from the cabinet, "It doesn't matter if the ground is dirty, just spread it with a straw mat to cover it up. Bring a wet cloth with you and just wipe the railings a few times! I'll go right away!"
The small pavilion that had been built for more than half a year was finally put to use, Fang Yingwu thought as he walked.
