For example, what Lin Fengjin presented to the county magistrate was a letter from a member of the Nanzheng Civil Service Department. For a military attache like the county lieutenant, it must be a letter from Habayashi Wei of the Ministry of War.
In short, Li Hu is actively expanding the relationship network for the Tian family. It is difficult to get a letter from the minister, minister, etc., but there are at least a few hundred officials in the entire Ministry of Personnel, and there are probably dozens of people who can hold power.
It is easy to get a free letter from these people. After all, it is just for a county official to take care of it, and it does not require a big official.
Note: In a ministry in Nanzheng, there is one Shangshu (similar to the current minister), who is the third rank; two ministers (deputy ministers), who are the fourth rank; two lieutenants, who are the fifth rank; and two Yuanwailang, who are the sixth rank.
Top quality.
Next, there are eleven people from Jiaku Lingshi, eight pavilion chiefs, and twelve Zhanggu people; four people from Sifenlingshi, nine people from Shulingshi, and four from Zhanggu; thirty-three people from Si Xunlingshi,
There are sixty-seven people in the history of Shu Ling and four in Zhang Gu; fifteen people in the history of Kao Gong Ling, thirty people in the history of Shu Ling and four in Zhang Gu¨
After taking care of the affairs in the county first, Lin Fengjin sent people to check the shops on the streets of the county town, planning to expand his own business first, and then the wretched Fu who went to inquire about the rules of the academy also returned and
I copied a copy of the rules in the academy and sent them up.
After Lin Fengjin read the rules of the academy, he decisively showed his true nature as a dandy and spent money like water. He decided to pay a high fine and rent a larger house outside the academy. As the saying goes, it is easy to move from frugality to luxury, and from luxury to luxury.
It is difficult to be frugal. Since you are already a rich second generation, you should naturally look like a rich second generation...
Among his group, Linde and Wuxiaofu will definitely stay, and Linde's wife Liuzhi will definitely not leave. Then she will have to buy a servant and a maid, so a smaller house can really be lived in.
No less.
Fortunately, it was very cold this year, and there was heavy snow in the south. Lin Fengjin came early and had enough time to prepare for these things. After looking for a local dental clinic, he found a place not far from the academy.
The house in Liangli was built by a scholar who came to the academy to study five years ago.
This person's family is also very wealthy. He bought hundreds of acres of land directly next to the most beautiful Qingxi River and built it. After graduating from school, this scholar returned to his hometown to prepare for the exam, and he probably will not come back again, so
Let the dental office help you deal with it.
It's just a bit embarrassing that this house is not very troublesome to rent, so it is only for sale and not rented, in order to save worry in a one-time transaction. The owner is not short of money, so it has been vacant since last year.
Lin Fengjin was not short of these few hundred taels at this time, so he rushed to check out the situation, and then confirmed it. Feeling very satisfied, he entrusted the dental office to apply for the paperwork.
This kind of large transaction still needs to be witnessed by the county for delivery, and usually it takes a few days to wait. Unexpectedly, after Lin Fengjin's post was submitted, the master who handled the matter heard the boss mention Lin Fengjin, the "dragon crossing the river"
"The famous name "Zhan Cha Kung Fu" was handed over, which made everyone in the dental shop panic. When they took the money (commission) from it, they were all very gentle and followed the lowest standards.
After settling his entourage, Lin Fengjin went to the academy with the recommendation letter purchased for more than three thousand taels of silver and the new household registration certificate (minority identity card) obtained from the county magistrate.
Official report. From a distance, you can see that the gate of the academy is made of blue bricks and small tiles, and the road is made of stone slabs, which is very neat and elegant.
After walking in, I saw the screen wall opposite, which was made of blue bricks and white tiles. It was very elegant. On it were written: Self-victory is called strength, self-seeing is called enlightenment. These ten words, one stroke after another, are very dignified, as if
It looks like it is flying out of the stone wall.
Before Lin Fengjin came here, he also temporarily reviewed relevant books and knew that these two sentences were from Han Feizi, which meant that only those who can defeat themselves are strong, and those who can recognize themselves are wise.
After walking through the second gate, I saw a plaque with the name of the academy hanging under the gatehouse in front of me: Tianchang Academy. The person who signed the name only wrote the word "kai". The person who wrote the plaque was He Qi.
He is the senior brother of Shen Dao, the founder of the academy.
This person is very famous today. I believe that when he wrote these four words, he probably never thought that he would be famous all over the world decades later, becoming the secretary of Xirong and the chief civil servant of Xirong.
, juxtaposed with the privy councilors in charge of the country's military forces, one civil and one military master holds great power!
At this time, Shen Dao, the founder of the academy, had already retired due to frailty and illness. His nephew Shen Ke was now the mountain chief/principal. Under the mountain chief, there were three deputy mountain chiefs and six hall directors.
Book fourteen people.
At this time, Lin Fengjin's goal was to find Liu Qingyao, the deputy director in charge of the general affairs of the outer courtyard, and go through the admission procedures with him. Under the guidance of others, Lin Fengjin walked around and came to a small
It can be seen that the owner here is quite elegant. He planted flowers and trees, moved bamboos and stones, and decorated the small courtyard.
But at this time! There were already five or six people in front of Feng Jin, and they were all outside in a tidy manner! Lin Fengjin could only wait, and then he saw a white stone standing next to him that said: "Full of Man"
The flowers and trees in the garden are still new, and the stones came from the far shore of Pinghu Lake. Bamboo shoots are sprouting in the neighboring house, and the ground is covered with layers of moss after mountain rain." These four very refreshing poems,
Liu Qingyao, the deputy mountain chief, is from Dongxia in the north. He smiles all day long. Although he is named deputy mountain chief, his job is like a housekeeper. He often receives guests and recruits students.
Lin Fengjin felt that the deputy mountain chief was easy to talk to and did not discriminate against an older boy like him. However, on second thought, the academy used such a deputy mountain chief to manage the outer disciples, which shows that most of them adopt a lenient and strict approach.
The way he went out was that he didn’t have high expectations for the outer disciples.
After completing all the necessary procedures, Lin Fengjin was finally considered an academy student, although he had to add the adverbials "Outdoor School" and "Tongsheng" in front of it. After the students arrived, they all studied as they came, so Lin Fengjin will go to school tomorrow.
Came to the academy to listen to a lecture.
After he went out, he happened to see several young people walking in with their trousers rolled up casually, hoes on their shoulders and shoes in their hands, talking and laughing loudly as if no one else was around. But Lin Fengjin looked more.
After a few glances, the one with the thickest eyebrows among the young people looked over, frowned and said:
"What's there to see? Have you never seen people working in the fields?"
Lin Fengjin shrugged his shoulders, smiled and said:
"I just think that in a quiet place like the academy, walking around barefoot would be a bit disrespectful to the elders."
Another young man with small eyes immediately sneered:
"My family is poor and we have to make a living by ourselves, but the mountain chief allows us to do half-farming and half-study! Some rich dudes who don't know how to farm, the smell of copper has ruined the purity of the academy!"
Lin Fengjin said calmly:
"If I remember correctly, after you walk past this place, you will see the statue of the late Saint Han Fei. Although I am not well-educated and not well-educated, I also know that I must cultivate myself, dress properly, and be sincere in front of the late Saint. If you walk by like this, you are not only
Not respecting your elders is also disrespectful to the knowledge you have studied. For such a simple thing, someone can use the name of the mountain leader to suppress others. This is a shameful thing. "
After Lin Fengjin finished speaking, he left. The students were furious and wanted to catch him to argue for a few more words. However, this guy had already left the gate, mounted his horse and whipped his whip. The young man with thick eyebrows was deep in thought.
After a while, he began to tidy up his appearance, while the rest of the people were cursing angrily.
It wasn't until I went back to inquire about Lin Fengjin that I found out that the survival and development of the academy were inseparable from funding. At this time, the academy advocated teaching without distinction. What's more, the academy also promoted the idea of educating barbarians? So it must be
You can't make a fuss about tuition fees.
Therefore, in addition to raising funds from the children of wealthy families, the funds for maintaining the operation of academies mostly rely on academic fields. At the beginning of the rise of academies, private financing for running academies mainly relied on private properties or properties donated by others.
.Therefore, if you want to open an academy, you not only need knowledge, but also money.
Fortunately, Tianchang Academy is located in a remote county, so the cost of starting it is relatively low, and Shen Dao is also a descendant of a large family here, so it can be maintained for forty years and still prosper. After the academy's academic field was reclaimed, it has long been
There was a profit.
Therefore, for some inner disciples whose families were extremely poor and who were indeed talented, the academy allowed them to farm and study while farming, similar to the current work-study program.
Moreover, this kind of half-farming does not require students to dig the ground, sow, and harvest. It is just a symbolic work, and the tenant farmers will naturally do the rest.
So being able to work in the fields is actually a status symbol in Tianchang Academy. As soon as Lin Fengjin came, he verbally offended these seniors who were favored by the academy. I'm afraid his life will not be easy in the future.
.But considering Lin Fengjin’s current personality, he probably won’t take this matter to heart.
The next day, Lin Fengjin came to the academy and followed the instructions of others and sat down in the teaching classroom at the outer door. The classroom was very neat, bright and spacious, with nearly a hundred desks of various sizes.
People's names are written on the rice paper pasted on it. This should be a measure to prevent random sitting, but about half of the seats are not occupied yet, so they must be on the way.
When coming to the academy, the most important thing for students is their studies. The daily study time is divided into four periods: after getting up, after breakfast, in the afternoon, and in the evening. Each period has prescribed study tasks. There are both self-study and discussion.
, and the teacher’s explanation is very scientific.
