Chapter 42: Kang Jiaoyu
Wu Xiucai glanced at Zhang Luo.
I didn't expect a person from a rural guardhouse.
You can also understand the imperial court’s previous wishes.
Wu Xiucai admired Zhang Luo even more in his heart.
There were many academy movements in the history of the Ming Dynasty.
It appeared once during the Hongwu period.
Later came the Jiajing period.
In order to prevent Mingjian Academy from becoming more active.
Emperor Jiajing issued two consecutive decrees.
Private academies are not allowed to be opened in name.
And at the same time, the existing academies were burned down.
Wu Xiucai said helplessly:
"Several ministers, ministers, and ministers at that time all stayed at Quanzhou Academy."
"These private academies have roots in the imperial court."
"How could it be affected by the imperial court?"
Zhang Luo understood now.
Emperor Jiajing’s Book Banning Movement.
In fact, it can be considered a failure.
In the current imperial court, Xu Jie, one of the cabinet ministers, is a scholar of psychology from the southeast.
He has a leading position in the Southeastern Literary School.
In addition, Xu Jie's party members.
Gao Gong, Zhao Zhenji and others all consider themselves disciples of Wang Yangming.
The biggest reason why Emperor Jiajing strictly prohibited academies.
The purpose is to curb the spread of Yangming’s philosophy among the people.
But helplessly, the Xinxue school took root in the court.
It cannot be shaken easily.
Zhang Changwei asked:
"Can people from Quanzhou Academy also participate in the imperial examination?"
Zhang Luo explained to Zhang Changwei:
"It should be okay, as long as you pass the child test."
"You can choose not to study in a government or county school."
"Be able to take the provincial examination as a student member."
"There should be many Confucian scholars who have followed this path."
Wu Xiucai nodded in agreement and said:
"Zhang Luo is right, today's county schools are weak."
"All the students from well-off families went to Quanzhou Academy."
"Quanzhou Academy sometimes invites people from nearby to teach."
“It can be described as a cultural event in the county.”
"If I hadn't stayed in the county school, I would still have received salary every month."
"I almost want to go to Quanzhou Academy."
Zhang Luo was surprised in his heart by the prosperity of academies in the southeast region.
Even if Japanese pirates are rampant along the coast.
However, the academic culture in Fujian is still very prosperous.
Private academies founded by these wealthy businessmen.
It's not just an ordinary reading school.
It is also a gathering place for grassroots academics.
A large number of gentry and literati would gather here.
Since the early Song Dynasty.
Famous local Confucians began to give private lectures.
At first I just looked for places with a lot of people.
Let’s talk a little bit about it to some common people.
But it’s been a long time.
These Confucian scholars who claim to be the successors of Confucius and Mencius.
I feel like it's disrespectful to say this.
So I accepted invitations from some wealthy people.
He went to their private school to give lectures.
After the mid-Northern Song Dynasty.
Often a Confucian master would appear giving lectures in the school.
There will be people from all over the place crowding towards the school.
This posture is no worse than the performance scene in the 21st century.
For example, Mr. Yangming also gave lectures at Guiyang Academy and Jishan Academy.
Start every lecture.
The whole place was crowded with all kinds of people.
The scene was packed with thousands of people.
Even some people who cannot read will want to join in the fun.
It is common for scholars to hear news about lectures.
They will even come from Lin province.
Then I simply lived next to the academy.
Wait until Mr. Yangming gives his lecture next time so that you can sit in a seat near the front.
Quanzhou Academy is also such an academic place.
Although the structure of the school is smaller than that of the upper academy.
But it also has all the internal organs, surpassing the local county schools.
It has a lot of cultural influence in the entire Quanzhou Prefecture.
This is the time of crisis.
The newly arrived teachers will also need to undergo county school restructuring.
No wonder so many people just ran away without even giving up their money.
If it's really because of the examination, I don't have the qualifications to be a student member.
That’s really all the decades of reading in vain.
While the three were discussing.
The new edict that Wu Xiucai was talking about had already appeared in front of the dormitory door.
The newly appointed Kang Jiaoyu.
The current situation is quite bad.
Yesterday when the city gate welcomed the new prefect.
Because it's too rigid.
The one that was abused by the new prefect was called "rockery".
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the new prefect is mocking him for standing like a rockery.
Now the whole Jinjiang County knows that there is a "Kang rockery".
Kang Jiaoyu was born in Nanzhili, Jiangsu Province.
I just passed the Provincial Examination last year and passed the Juren Examination.
Currently he is considered a newcomer to the official career.
So it's a little more straightforward.
Today, Kang Jiaoyu, who has an upright personality, cannot stand the ridicule of the new prefect.
has decided to give up this teaching position.
I plan to resign from the county government.
He had just planned to go to the county government office to submit a dictionary.
I saw two strange figures, Zhang Luo and Zhang Changwei.
Full of doubts, I followed him to the dormitory.
Wu Xiucai saw Kang Jiaoyu.
It's like he has no soul.
Immediately, his body trembling, he saluted the teaching and said:
"Students pay homage to the Master."
Zhang Luo also pulled the confused Zhang Changwei along.
Together we saluted Kang Jiaoyu.
Kang Jiaoyu returned the gesture symbolically.
Then he asked Wu Xiucai in a serious tone:
"It's time to study now."
"Why are you still staying in the dormitory and not going to study in Mingwen Hall?"
Wu Xiucai hurriedly picked up a few scriptures and planned to go out.
Kang Jiaoyu asked again:
"Who are these two people? How can they enter the county school without permission?"
Zhang Luo did not expect to meet this resolute academic officer again so soon.
Yesterday when I saw him for the first time at the city gate.
Zhang Luojue felt that his character was very similar to that of Hai Rui, a Ming minister from the Jiajing Dynasty.
"Where did you two come from and why did you break into the county school?"
Kang Jiaoyu asked again.
The tone became more and more severe.
Zhang Luo replied respectfully:
"The grass-roots people come from Zhenhaiwei."
"I plan to take part in the Children's Examination, and I came here to ask Wu Xiucai to recommend me."
I heard Zhang Luo say that he was a child student taking part in the children's examination.
Kang Jiaoyu's serious cheeks relaxed a little.
He serves as the magistrate of a county.
Responsible for various educational affairs in a county.
Although I have already planned to quit.
But Kang Jiaoyu still had to fulfill his responsibilities.
I want to comfort Zhang Luo, a junior, not to relax.
Kang Jiaoyu said:
"Are you planning to go to the county government office to submit a bond?"
"It just so happens that I have to go to the county government office."
"You go with me."
"I'm just testing your skills on the way."
Kang Jiaoyu speaks very convincingly as a judge.
Zhang Luo has not even passed the child examination now.
Not even a scholar.
Even the culturally prosperous Jinjiang County.
Only four or five people pass the provincial examination in a year.
Zhang Luo once read Fan Jin's text on the examination.
I always wonder why I just won the election.
You can go crazy with joy.
If you look at it now, you can see past and present.
There are very few people who can become Jinshi.
When passing the exam, don’t talk about ancient times.
It can be considered that he has defeated many students in the 21st century.
Kang Jiao's edict is to promote people.
He is also an official in charge of education in a county.
It's normal to check Zhang Luo's homework.
Kang Jiaoyu also saw that although Zhang Luo was a commoner.
But he is tall and has energetic eyes.
I plan to explore Zhang Luo's background.
Let’s see what shortcomings Zhang Luo has.
Let Zhang Luoneng study attentively.
Kang Jiaoyu had just entered the officialdom.
I believe that as an official, I naturally have to do my job well.
He is still the magistrate of Jinjiang County.
Take advantage of this moment.
Teach young people well.
