The heavens from Bailuyuan

Chapter 58
It was Guanzhong Academy that Mr. Zhu introduced to Bai Gui. In the 29th year of Guangxu, Fang Yun, the governor of Qin Province, renamed it the First Normal School of Qin Province. It is located at the west entrance of Shuyuanmen Street on the east side of the south gate of the provincial capital.

Guanzhong Academy was founded by Feng Congwu in the 20th year of Wanli.

It is a famous college in the Ming and Qing dynasties.

As soon as he walked to Shuyuanmen Street, Bai Gui saw rows of white wooden archways, hanging above his head, with the two big characters Jinshi written on it, and auspicious patterns such as carps transforming into dragons were embedded beside them, which were obviously Jinshi archways. .

The buildings on both sides of the road, the two-story pavilions, are all antique.

Along the way, students in robes can be seen, holding a stack of books, and there are three-dimensional photos placed at the corner of the street. At first glance, it turned out to be a photo studio. Through the glass door, you can see an old-fashioned photo studio on a wooden shelf. Camera, covered with a black cloth...

"Where is the normal school?"

Bai Gui stopped a middle-aged man in his 30s who was walking and asked him.

Shuyuan Street is very big, and he only knew the approximate location. Although he could go with some students, who knows if these students are from the normal school, it would be good to ask a few more people.

After asking a few people in a row, he calmed down, bowed to the last person, and walked towards the path he indicated.

Ask for directions, this kind of thing must ask a few more people.

Otherwise, if you meet someone with a bad heart, you will go the wrong way in vain.

After waiting for a while, I saw walls that were very different from other buildings, with stone pavement, white walls and black tiles. When I walked to the main entrance, I looked up and saw the plaque erected on the gatehouse, which read "The first "One normal school" in four characters.

The two large doors painted with tung oil opened wide, revealing the screen wall.

Walking through the Chaoshou corridor, you can see the main hall plaque with "Yunzhitang", which is taken from the four characters of "Yunjuezhizhong" in the Shangshu, and it is also the plaque hanging in the Zhonghe Hall of the Forbidden City, but Guanzhong just fits this Chinese character, so it is not against the system to hang it here.

In front of the hall, there is a half-acre square pond with clear water.

There are four couplets on the left and right of the lecture hall, all of which face the south, and there are six couplets in the dormitory of students in the east and west.There is also a towering rockery behind the lecture hall, with three peaks standing tall.

As soon as he entered the gate of the normal school, before Bai Gui had a closer look at the scenery here, he was ushered into the side room beside the lecture hall by Zhai Fu, and there were several elderly teachers sitting in it.

"The school has a fixed time to enroll students every year. You are recommended by Brother Meng Zhou, so you can sign up, but you also need to go through an assessment. I know you are familiar with the Four Books, so I will test you for a few Four Books questions, and there are also time essay questions. .”

"I won't test your Western studies."

The teacher wears glasses, looks very gentle, and said slowly.

He already knew the identity of the young man standing in front of him through letters. He is the chief of the case in Zishui County. Although there are differences in culture and education between Zishui County and the provincial capital, the chief of the case is not weak. He can also beat at least [-]% of the people.

But still need to test the school, so as not to provoke criticism.

Bai Gui heaved a sigh of relief when he heard that Western studies would not be tested. When Mr. Zhu wrote him a letter of recommendation, he was allowed to learn some basic Western studies during this period, such as Gezhi (physics, chemistry), language, foreign customs, agriculture and forestry. and other knowledge.

At the same time, he also vaguely knew why Mr. Zhu didn't recommend Zhou Yuan and the others to come here, but introduced them to the county school in Xianning County.The county school in Xianning County also teaches Western languages, after all, it is Fuguo County, the provincial capital.

Because he was the chief of the case in Zishui County, he seemed to be made things difficult in the normal school, so he was exempted from Western studies.It is even more difficult for the three Zhou Yuan and the others in Zishui County to step into the threshold here as transfer students.

However, if you hire a teacher who teaches western learning to learn basic western learning knowledge, it will be easier to enter the normal school...

It is difficult to enter a normal school only by relying on stereotyped essays.

Of course, people with fame and fame are counted separately.

"But after you enter Shiwuzhai, you will also enter the crash course in Japanese, and you will also need to know some Western learning."

The teacher said again.

"Yes!"

Bai Gui respectfully saluted, and then the teacher took out a blank piece of paper and wrote two four-book questions on it, asking him to solve the questions immediately, and finish writing the stereotype within one hour.

He has memorized the imperial examinations such as "Small Title Wen Fu" and "Big Questions [-] Selections", these two four-book questions, but after a while he figured out how to solve the questions, and he has the talent bonus of being very clever, so he wrote them down The article has reached the peak of his participation in the county examination.

This is innate talent.

You don't need to stick to words, as long as your skills reach a certain level, you can write.

It is no longer Jia Dao of the Kuyin sect.

It's a genius like Li Bai, the one hundred poems of Li Baidou's wine poems.Of course, the gap with Li Bai is still a bit big, but he is always above his own peak level.

An hour later.

"Not bad! The stereotyped essay is well written!"

The teacher looked at Bai Gui with admiration. Although the stereotyped essays are lonely now, those who can write stereotyped essays are also geniuses. The person in front of him is still a teenager. Although he has never been exposed to Western learning, his speed of learning is faster than ordinary people. People are much faster, and it is not difficult to make up for this gap in time.

Seeing that Bai Gui was a bit malleable, he thought about it and said, "The Japanese crash course is for students who are basically determined to study in Japan, and you are a special case to enter this class, but as long as you have excellent grades, the college will give you this opportunity. "

He stared at Bai Gui.

"Yes, sir! Thank you, sir!"

Bai Gui nodded, and glanced at Professor Xi gratefully.

This is insider information that he doesn't know. Although he will be able to inquire about it when he is studying in the normal school in the future, it will take a certain amount of effort and time to be foolish.

As for staying in Japan or not...

He hasn't figured it out yet.

At this time, if you go abroad for a trip, and then come back, as long as you have a little reputation, you will be hired as a teacher in the local school immediately. If you enter the government office and become an official, you will be promoted as fast as a rocket.

A doctor who has not yet obtained a doctorate can still be hired as a professor at the highest institution after returning to China.

This is the charm of studying abroad.

"Write down your name, place of origin, age, when you were enlightened, when you studied Confucianism, what books you read when you were in elementary school, and whether you read any practical books. You will also pay three silver dollars as an order for " The expenses of various newspapers such as Wanguo Gongpao, Current Affairs News, and Beijing News..."

After the teacher left, Zhai Fu smiled and reached out to Bai Gui for money.

"Three silver dollars?"

Bai Gui couldn't help but click his tongue, the cost of ordering newspapers is too expensive, three silver dollars can already buy a set of Four Books and Five Classics, a mere newspaper can be so expensive.

But he just thought about it a little bit, and he understood that at this time, newspapers and magazines had not produced a large number of printed advertisements. Subscribing to newspapers and magazines was a luxury, otherwise why so many great writers only needed to publish one article , as the retouching fee is so expensive, after all, the circulation of most magazines and newspapers is only tens of thousands of copies per issue.

PS: I always feel that it is a stand-alone codeword. If there is any follow-up reading, 1 will be deducted.

　Thank you for the 300 starting coins rewarded by a fake sheep.
