Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 202 The Great Confucian
His Majesty Li Er stopped Ren Zhongliu's suggestion of moving a stool into the school, and stood outside with his hands behind his back, watching everything in the school through the bright glass.

What I have to say is that the picture of a 17-year-old boy teaching a group of children from seven or eight years old to twelve or thirteen is very inconsistent, and Fang Jun doesn't have any literary temperament...

The furnishings in the school are different from most schools nowadays.

The long desk shared by several people is canceled, and it is a single high-leg desk. The students do not sit on the ground, but each has a chair with a backrest. It is very easy to sit on it, avoiding a long time The blood vessels caused by kneeling and sitting are not smooth.

Fang Jun also did not give lectures on the floor like ordinary school teachers, but stood alone in front of a slightly wider high-legged desk in front of him, and behind him was a black-painted wooden board hanging on the wall.

Fang Jun smiled gently and asked, "Have you ever forgotten what you learned yesterday?"

The students answered loudly: "Never!"

Fang Jun nodded approvingly, and said, "Very good! If that's the case, then everyone, pick up the books and read aloud what you learned yesterday."

The students in the hall opened the books in front of them one after another, which surprised His Majesty Li Er again.

Everyone has a book?
This guy is really willing to spend his money...

In this era, reading is a very luxurious thing, and it is not something you can read if you want to.One of the most direct reasons is that books are too expensive!

The paper has not been improved, either expensive rice paper or extremely poor quality bamboo paper, both of which are difficult to satisfy the mass popularity of books.Because, "copying books" has become a very elegant thing, in fact, it is more helpless, since I can't afford it, I have to borrow it to copy...

The other is the expensive cost and cumbersome process of woodblock printing.

Why can aristocratic families monopolize education, and almost all talents come from them, while children from poor families rarely get ahead?
The reason is that the cost of education is too high, and children from poor families cannot afford it!
Education is monopolized by aristocratic families, and talents are produced from generation to generation, and children from poor families have no chance to read and write. How can they compete with those children from aristocratic families?One goes up and down, more and more aristocratic families control social resources, officials all over the world are based on this, family friends, marriages, alliances... They form one after another powerful alliances, safeguarding their own interests, but abandoning the country Regardless of interests.

They are so powerful that they ignore the government's decrees and even manipulate the results of court discussions!

Because, almost all officials are their "insiders"...

Since His Majesty Li Er came to the throne, the chronic diseases of the aristocratic family have become more and more obvious, which directly led to the widening gap between the rich and the poor, serious land mergers, and increasingly acute social conflicts.His Majesty Li Er dreamed of breaking the stubborn barriers built by these aristocratic families and supporting the rise of poor scholars. Only in this way would the court and the world become more balanced, instead of the aristocratic families dominating one family.

Balance is the most perfect state.

But how easy is it?

The aristocratic families know where their advantages are. They try their best to suppress the poor, monopolize the educational resources, and do not give the children of ordinary families the opportunity to study and study.If you don't study, you can't understand, how can you compete with them?

In fact, the most fundamental reason is that the cost of education is too high, so high that even the emperor can't make everyone in the world have books...

Therefore, Fang Jun just said, "In Fangjiawan, the tallest, most spacious, and brightest house will always be a school!" His Majesty Li Er was very excited and agreed with Fang Jun's ability to Let the children of Fangjiawan have books to read with their own efforts, and they have great courage!

But when Fang Jun said another sentence, "No matter how hard it is, students cannot be poor, and no matter how poor, education cannot be poor", he sneered a little.If you are not in charge of a family, you don’t know how expensive it is. You can say that for a mere Fangjiawan, but how much money will it cost in the entire Guanzhong and the entire Tang Dynasty?
Easier said than done!
However, now that the children have a book in their hands, His Majesty Li Er has to admire, this guy is really willing to spend the money!

His Majesty Li Er's mind was leaping, but he was brought back to reality by the sound of reading in the school.

"At the beginning of human beings, the nature is good, the nature is similar, but the habits are far away. If you don't teach, your nature will change. The way to teach is to specialize..."

His Majesty Li Er was at a loss: "What kind of book is this?"

He can not only strategize and command thousands of troops, but also mount a horse and hold a spear to charge into battle. He is also familiar with classics and history books, but after thinking about it, he can't think of such a passage in any book.

Three words and one sentence, rhyming in the same pattern, catchy to read, popular, fluent, easy to remember, and contains the truth...

How could I not have an impression on myself?

Could it be...

His Majesty Li Er looked at Ren Zhongliu behind him.

Ren Zhongliu naturally understood what he meant, smiled slightly, and said proudly: "Just as your Majesty thought, this "Three Character Classic" was written by Fang Shilang."

"Is there a book?"

His Majesty Li Er's eyes were burning.

"Naturally, Your Majesty will wait a moment." Ren Zhongliu pleaded guilty and left, went to the next office room, and after a while, he took a stack of bound books and gave one to His Majesty Li Er, and Princess Gao Yang wanted one. The rest was given to Li Junxian: "Take it back and give it to the children of the clan, read it, it is a good enlightenment book."

Li Junxian didn't know whether to laugh or cry, although he was also very curious about what was written in this book, but he was worthy, how could he walk around with a stack of books on his back?
"Can I ask Ren to send me to a certain mansion?"

"Oh!" Ren Zhongliu slapped his forehead and said apologetically, "I forgot that General Li is on duty, no problem, I will send someone to take it to the general later."

Li Junxian said gratefully: "Thank you."

His Majesty Li Er stood outside the school, holding books in his hands. The more he read, the more shocked he became, and the more he read, the more he admired him!Turning to the end, it stops abruptly when "Tang Gaozu, the uprising teacher, eliminated the chaos of the Sui Dynasty, and established the foundation of the country", which is quite unsatisfactory.

This "Three Character Classic" is easy to understand, with typical materials, including literature, history, philosophy, astronomy and geography, human ethics, loyalty, filial piety, etc., and the core ideas include "benevolence, righteousness, sincerity, respect, and filial piety." Children While reciting the "Three Character Classics" for enlightenment, you can understand common sense, traditional Chinese studies and historical stories, as well as the principles of life and doing things in the connotation of the stories.

The sentences are short, concise and catchy.

Is this made by a fool who has never studied?
This is simply the level of a great Confucianism!Even those well-known and well-educated Confucian scholars probably can't write such a book!

It’s too shocking!

His Majesty Li Er can almost guarantee that once this book is published, it will be popular all over the world and become the best reading material for children's enlightenment!
By then, Fang Jun's name will also be known to every household, and the proper title of "Great Confucianism" cannot escape!

Is this kid really a genius?
Or know it from birth?
Half an hour passed by in a flash, and even Princess Gao Yang, who loves to be noisy the most, was rarely very quiet, obediently standing beside His Majesty Li Er, reading the "Three Character Classic" carefully, and occasionally glancing at the room where Fang Qiu was slammed. hansome……

After Fang Jun finished his lecture, His Majesty Li Er raised the book in his hand and asked, "Is this the book that I said I would give to XX earlier? It's really good, and XX is very satisfied!"

Fang Jun was taken aback, and quickly said: "Your Majesty misunderstood..."

Are you kidding me?
Just pointing to this "Must-Have Artifact Before Traveling Through the Tang Dynasty" to gain prestige and achieve your own reputation, how can you give it to you for nothing?
Don't do it to a prince!

Seeing Fang Jun ignoring her, Princess Gao Yang pursed her lips and said sarcastically: "I don't know how to flatter you!"

Fang Jun didn't dare to talk to her, because almost every time the villains ended in quarrels, he was bullying his daughter in front of His Majesty Li Er, and with His Majesty Li Er's protective character, he might get beaten...

"Your Majesty, please follow my servant."

Fang Jun led His Majesty Li Er and others around the school and entered a small courtyard on the hillside.

Zhuangzi's steward, Quan Quan, was leading a few craftsmen to tinker with something in a pool, using a few stubby wooden sticks to mash the things in the pool into a sticky paste. When he saw Fang Jun, he rushed up to meet him.

"Erlang, have you just finished class? Hey, there are still guests! Please come in and sit down for a while, and bring the younger ones to make a pot of tea for you. You just arrived at Yuqian Longjing, and you are lucky!"

Now Fang Quan has more than [-] people under his jurisdiction, and that scale is even more arrogant than a magistrate in a lower county, and the whole person's spirit is different...

Patronizing on showing off, but ignoring Fang Jun’s eyes that were blinking and blinking, and he was about to blink convulsively. When he noticed it, he was taken aback for a moment, and then suddenly realized, and quickly corrected: "Ah! This... tea is good tea, it’s just a pity , this amount is really too small, only a dozen... seven or eight... two or three catties? Cough cough, it's only two or three catties, but it's a little less, and you can't give it away..."

Fang Jun just glanced at him, but luckily he reacted quickly enough, didn't he see a big Pixiu who wanted to go home with all the good things behind him, and only ate but didn't pull?

His Majesty Li Er suddenly kicked this guy from behind, and said coldly: "Gua Counselor has learned to be stingy? It's getting more and more worthless! When you leave, bring some tea with you!"

Fang Jun was so distressed that he didn't dare to be dissatisfied with His Majesty, so he could only stare at Fang Quan viciously.

This Mingqian tea is picked before the Ching Ming Festival. It is less infested by insects, with tender buds and leaves, green and fragrant color, mellow taste and beautiful shape. It is a good tea.At the same time, due to the generally low temperature before Qingming, the number of germination is limited, the growth rate is slow, and the yield that can meet the picking standard is very small. Even in later generations who are full of tea gardens, there is a saying that "tea before Ming Dynasty is as expensive as gold".

Not to mention that the tea gardens in Hangzhou are extremely small at this time, and the output is even less.

Today, His Majesty Li Er beat me to the wind...

Fang Quan saw this very naturally kicked his own Erlang, the posture was very casual, obviously it was not the first time he kicked... What made him even more dumbfounded was that Erlang, who has always been grumpy, didn't even show any displeasure... …

Who can make our Erlang so afraid?
Changsun Wuji, Cheng Yaojin, Yuchi Jingde, Li Ji...I'm afraid my housekeeper can't do it!
There is only one person in this world——His Majesty the Emperor!
Fang Quan's calf is a little cramped, the emperor...

Fang Jun ignored this old man who lost his money because of his complacency, and led His Majesty Li Er straight into the main room.

It is more appropriate to say it is a workshop than the main house.

As soon as he entered the door, Fang Jun showed His Majesty Li Er his latest scientific research results——

Numerous square lead blocks are densely placed in the hall, with exquisite workmanship and neat stacking.

On each block of lead, there is an inverse script.

Fang Jun waved his hand, and said proudly: "This is the super gift package that I want to give to His Majesty—printing!"
