"There are tens of thousands of mansions in Anhui, and all the poor people in the world will be happy!" The song said thatched huts were broken by the autumn wind
Shuxiu means ten pieces of dried meat, which is ten pieces of dried meat. This is the apprenticeship ceremony that has been passed down since Confucius, which is equivalent to the tuition fee for school. At first, it was just to show respect for the teacher. After all, it is the right thing for a disciple to pay tribute to a teacher and give him a sincere gift. Yes, but if the ceremony is too heavy or too light, it will miss the middle way. Therefore, Confucius also expressed the principle of the middle way in formulating the apprenticeship ceremony.
Ten pieces of dried meat is not a very expensive gift. Even ordinary people can still get this gift as long as they make a little effort and live frugally.
However, after hundreds of years, this kind of ceremony gradually lost its original purpose. The disciples all brought heavy money and coins to their apprenticeships, so comparison became common and it was difficult for poor families to join the door of famous people.
Therefore, when Taixue was rebuilt, the emperor even planned to waive all tuition fees, cancel this form that had more symbolic meaning than practical significance, and directly cancel the material threshold for the admission of poor scholars. Unexpectedly, he met with opposition from everyone on the grounds that etiquette cannot be abolished.
The emperor thought at that time that this was indeed the truth. Giving people knowledge without any effort would only devalue knowledge to another extent, and people would not cherish what was given for free. In addition, the emperor He made everyone compromise too much on the restructuring of Imperial College, and he didn't want to go against everyone's will too much on such a trivial matter.
Although Shu Xiu still had to be collected, the emperor still kept an eye on it and took out Yan Hui and Zi Lu to use the allusion of Shu Xiu's apprenticeship to Confucius and imitate the ancient system. A luxurious home can offer lambs and wild geese, and a humble home can offer preserved meat, and In order to take care of poor students, there is no restriction on the type, weight and quality of meat, as long as it is not human flesh.
Despite this, Shu Xiu still blocked a large number of people from the opportunity to go to school. You must know that in these troubled times, food is extremely precious, let alone meat. Some people are reluctant to part with it, or even cannot afford Shu Xiu, and some people want to change it. Because of his poor family, he reluctantly traded corn and wheat with hunters and butchers for dried meat, and even went to the river himself to catch fish to provide for his children.
Take Jia Kui, for example. The bag he never leaves contains ten pieces of fish that he has caught and dried in the sun.
Jia Kui knelt down and bowed down to Yang Yi, the imperial scholar who was sitting in the seat, Pan Xu, the servant, and Han Rong, the doctor of Ming Dynasty, Chang Qia, the doctor of drama Miao Fei, Zhao Yan and others who were sitting on both sides. Everyone also followed suit. In return for the gift, Chang Qia, the doctor of drama, picked up a red-tung pen from the desk and handed it to Jia Kui from the assistant.
This Tongguan pen has always been used by ministers. The emperor used this as a gift from the teacher to his disciples, which undoubtedly placed great expectations on him.
Jia Kui accepted the Tong Guan pen with great care, bowed to Zhang Ji and others and left.
While offering wine, Yang Yi suddenly smiled at Zhao Yan and said, "It seems that there are many talented people in the Drama Department. There should be dozens of people who committed suicide this morning, right?"
Zhao Yan raised his brows slightly and did not answer for a while. He was from Langxie and was originally a minister in the imperial court. He was favored by the emperor because he once submitted a policy statement to the emperor and was elected as a doctor of drama.
Being a doctor is not an easy job. You must not only maintain your own moral character at all times, but also pay attention to academic cultivation. Otherwise, how can you be a teacher? I thought that after I became a doctor, I would preach and teach in the future, and I would be successful in the world. The family's reputation.
Unexpectedly, Yang Yi, who is also a doctor of Ming Jing, has the huge reputation of the Hongnong Yang family. In addition, the Ming Jing Department has the great scholar Han Rong, which leads to a large number of young students who come here to choose Ming Jing. The other four The department seems to be idle.
There are only a few dozen people in the drama management department where Zhao Yan works, which is not the smallest number. For example, in the business management department, only one You Chu was recorded in such a long time.
This is not a good thing. If this really results in a situation where the Ming Jing is dominant and the four subjects are in decline, then the emperor who advocates the simultaneous development of the five subjects and applying them in accordance with his aptitude will look very bad.
Mingguang Palace was originally a residence for the beauties of Yan and Zhao, and a place where Emperor Xiaowu entertained immortals. Its towers, palaces, and pavilions were naturally extremely exquisite and gorgeous, with countless corridors and pools. Taixue was originally based on Mingguang Palace.
It was built on the top of the building and roughly retains the original layout, adding a transcendent aura to this future number one university in the world.
Although most places are still under construction, the basic school buildings and other buildings have been hastily completed. Zhang Ji and Jia Kui took some detours and finally found a separate courtyard surrounded by low walls.
"Government Opera House A." Zhang looked at the wooden sign hanging at the entrance of the hospital and compared it with the name card issued to him, and said: "It seems that this is where I will live in Taixue from now on."
Jia Kui was a little excited. He and Zhang Ji walked into the courtyard together, each carrying a bookcase and a pile of clothes in their arms.
The yard is very spacious, with bluestone paving and jujube trees and mulberry trees planted in the corners. There is a room on the front and on the left and right sides. A middle-aged man is sweeping the ground with a broom in the yard with his head down.
The man noticed that the person was coming, looked up, and immediately greeted him with a smile: "I'm Bao Chu, the supervisor of the first theater hospital. I'm responsible for cleaning the house, preventing theft, preparing fires, etc."
Zhang Ji and others immediately handed over their names consciously. Bao Chu was Bao Chu's eldest brother. After Bao Chu was promoted to be filial and honest because of his filial piety to save his mother, he also used it to find many paths and became an imperial scholar.
of a hospital supervisor.
Bao Chu was illiterate, so he only glanced at the red seal at the end of his name. After confirming that it was correct, he greeted the two of them into a room in the middle.
There are several seats and low-level objects in the middle of the room. The room on the left is lined with high desks, lampstands, bookcases and other objects against the wall. It is obviously a place for writing. The room on the right is divided into two rows.
A bed, suitcases and other items.
Bao Chu said: "You two came just in time. There are ten people in each room in this courtyard, a total of thirty people. You two came early. You can choose the beds here, but you have to fold the mattresses every day.
Okay, you will be responsible for cleaning the house as well. If you need anything in the future, just call me, I live in a separate small room near the courtyard gate."
Zhang Ji and Jia Kui thanked Bao Chu and sent him away. They each chose a bed in a good location and placed their personal belongings.
Not long after, You Chu came over, and he said happily: "I didn't expect that the Imperial Academy would be so generous. Not only did they give out clothes, but they also gave me money."
"Money?" Zhang Ji asked curiously, and Jia Kui on the side also quietly listened attentively, "Why haven't I heard about this?"
"The supervisor of my hospital told me that His Majesty understands that it is not easy for the children of the Han family to study, so as long as they provide the certificates of the village chief and pavilion chief, proving that the family is indeed poor and unable to support themselves, they will be given three hundred yuan or more every six months, depending on the situation.
It ranges from five hundred yuan. Is this called a subsidy?" You Chu sat on an empty bed and smiled at Zhang Ji.
"De Jong, why don't you give it a try? But you have to tell your drama department teacher about this, and then ask the superintendent for confirmation. Only after he agrees can the money be released. The process is a bit troublesome."
"My family still has enough money to support ourselves." Zhang Ji shook his head and refused, and said with emotion: "His Majesty established the Imperial Academy, advocated education, and protected the Han family. He is indeed a wise king."
