Chapter 168 I'm Your Mr. Waiting

Li Wenmin stood under the sun in deep thought.

The sun was getting hotter and hotter, but he didn't seem to notice it.

When he was young, his family background was not good, and his father loved to curse, so that he offended many people.The neighbor's children often bullied him and discriminated against him for this reason.The adults also scolded him...

At that time, he was at a loss, thinking that his father was wrong, but no matter how wrong his father was, he was still a father.

Under such circumstances, he suppressed his anger in his heart and studied hard.When he succeeded in studying, the anger that had been pent up for many years also broke out.

He feels that many people look down on him, so why should I look down on you?

He likes to use his talents to crush those people, and seeing those people's embarrassment is filled with the pleasure of revenge.

He wanted to be an official, the bigger the better, but his temper hit a wall everywhere in the officialdom.Until Ye Niang was scolded by the other party in a dispute with Shangguan, he made a bold move, thus ending the first half of his life.

The life in exile was not easy. There was not enough food, no warm clothes, no books to read, no pens, inks, papers and inkstones, it was like being in hell.

A while ago, he was singled out to oversee the construction of the county school, and only then did he see a glimmer of light.

But the dawn is just the dawn, what he wants to see is sunshine.

He took a deep breath.

Then went to the county.

"Mingfu, Li Wenmin asks to see you."

Yang Xuan was preparing to go back to the backyard for lunch, and nodded upon hearing this.

Cao Ying was a little curious, "This person argued with the old man at the time. Since Mr. Lang suppressed him with a few poems today, he should do things well. What is he doing here? Don't you agree?"

The old thief said with a smile: "Maybe I thought of a poem, and I think the three poems that can beat Langjun, I came to find a place."

People who rely on their talents and let go of them tend to be more competitive than ordinary people.

"No!" Yang Xuan said firmly, "He doesn't have that talent."

Except for the first of the three poems, the other two are famous.If Li Wenmin's talent can surpass these two famous works, he won't be wasted in the officialdom.

Li Wenmin came in.

Everyone in the hall was looking at him.

Li Wenmin saluted.

"I have seen Ming Palace."

"What's the matter?"

Yang Xuan asked.

"This old man wants to ask Ming Fu, if this old man teaches outstanding students, will he ever return to his homeland in full glory?"

Homecoming?

Yang Xuan nodded, "Of course."

Li Wenmin asked: "If the Ming Palace is promoted in the future, can I bring this old man with me?"

The order of the two questions is reversed, but it confirms the fact that the scholars are cunning.If he first asked if he could follow Yang Xuan in the future, Yang Xuan would most likely refuse.

But he first asked if he could return home one day.

After Yang Xuan agreed, it was difficult to refuse the second question.

Naturally, a professor of county studies can't return to his hometown, only a higher level can do it.

"Do you want to follow me from now on?"

"Yes."

Yang Xuan smiled, "I will watch you."

Whether you have the ability to follow me, let's wait and see.

Li Wenmin cupped his hands, "The old man resigns."

Don't pat your chest, don't break big rocks, but leave calmly.

"This man is interesting."

During lunch, Yang Xuan mentioned Li Wenmin.

"He just wants to be an official." Yi Niang said casually.

"How do you know?" Cao Ying asked.

Yiniang glanced at Zhang Siniang, "Where I was before, those people were more motivated than those in the officialdom. He somehow said that he followed Mr. Lang, what is his purpose? Mr. Lang is not a beauty... I'm sorry Ah sir."

Yang Xuan was arranged by her, so he could only smile.

Yiniang raised her eyebrows at Zhang Siniang, implying that such a well-informed gentleman, what are you waiting for if you don't hurry up and hook up?
"As a criminal, how difficult is it for him to get ahead? The only way to be an official is to be an official. With his bad temper, only someone who can convince him can make him submit. After surrendering, he will be dependent. Such people Ah! I've seen a lot in the past."

Yiniang concluded: "This kind of people seem to be full of thorns and extremely tough, but they are actually the weakest and very dependent."

Yang Xuan: "..."

Cao Ying: "..."

Old thief: "..."

Yiniang looked at everyone, "Isn't it right?"

"Okay!"

Yang Xuan felt that it was not a fluke for Yiniang to become a master of Gongdou, only from this analysis, she can see that she has excellent vision.

After dinner, Cao Ying asked: "Mr. Lang, the school is completed, and the regulations for recruiting students should also be finalized."

"There is no discrimination in teaching." Yang Xuan's attitude was very firm, "Anyone who is suitable will be accepted. But there is one thing, if you don't study hard, go home."

"You broke the law." Suzaku said after a long absence.

Wang Lao Er raised his hand.

Yang Xuan asked: "What's the matter?"

"I'm going to study!"

"Good thing." Yang Xuan felt that this was really a good thing, "Lao Cao will teach you in person, and I will teach you when I am free."

"Okay!" Wang Laoer was very happy.

Poor baby, I thought reading was very interesting, and I was very happy.After a few days, Yang Xuan could almost imagine Wang's second child's despair.

He waited unkindly.

Cao Ying stood up, "The old man will teach you something first."

The two went elsewhere.

Yang Xuan went to the lobby.

"Put up a notice that anyone with a child between the ages of eight and ten can be sent to school."

"for free."

"Take care of a meal."

Zhen Siwen looked shocked, "Mingfu, this is not opening a school, this is charity."

"You know what!" Yang Xuan was writing the notice, while struggling with the fact that his words did not match his poems, "What do you rely on for the long-term peace and stability in northern Xinjiang? It depends on talents."

"Isn't this the way it has been for thousands of years?" Zhen Siwen felt that Yang Xuan's words were a bit mysterious.

"But why can't it be better?" Yang Xuan thought of the astonishing things in another world, "Take it and post it. By the way, some people can't read. Sven, you arrange for someone to recite it."

"Yes."

Notices were posted outside the county premises.

Immediately, people poured in.

"What do you say?"

"I do know a word."

"What word?"

"Book."

Zhen Siwen coughed dryly, "Listen well."

The crowd fell silent.

"The Ming government has issued an order. From today, within three days, anyone with children aged eight to ten at home, except those who are stupid, can be sent to the county school to study."

"Don't go, don't go!"

"That is, eight and ten years old can help take care of the children, and can cook and do housework. What books should I read?"

Zhen Siwen shouted: "Shut up."

After the silence, he continued, "No money."

whispering sound!
A woman carrying a bamboo basket shook her head, turned around and left.

Outside the next door, King Wei was watching a play.

"He's crazy to think of some kind of county school." Huang Ping thought it was funny, "Most of the people in this place are criminals. Dragons breed dragons, phoenixes breed phoenixes, and rats can make holes. The children of these criminals have heard about it since they were young. Ran, what a good person."

King Wei said lightly: "The common people are ignorant. They only know how to farm and work to earn money, and let their children go to school. This hinders them from earning money. Who will go?"

"The imperial examination is a single-plank bridge. How many people can pass it? If they can't pass the imperial examination, those who are powerful and powerful will be fine. They can be an official if they find a shade, or they can be in charge of affairs at home. But for the common people , This book is worthless. Those Yeniangs are not fools, how could they take their own children into this bottomless pit." Huang Ping shook his head.

King Wei glanced at Huang Ping, "How were you back then?"

"..."

Huang Ping was a little ashamed, "The old man failed in his studies, but fortunately the king did not give up, and this is where he can display his talents."

Zhen Siwen shouted over there; "We still have lunch!"

King Wei and Huang Ping turned around and ran when they saw the woman who was disdainful to turn around, raised their right hand while running, and shouted: "My family Erlang is nine years old, do you accept it?"

Zhen Siwen asked: "Are there any fools?"

"Really take care of a meal?"

"Of course it's true."

"Not stupid. My family's Erlang is the smartest, and he never fails to coax those newcomers." The woman was very proud.

"receive!"

Huang Ping was a little melancholy, "The old man was coaxed by the children in the city last time."

It's really embarrassing to be so old.

What will such a child learn in school?

Huang Ping gloated and looked forward to it.

"The concubine came to write a letter." Wei Wang said quietly: "There are some things that need you to go back."

The old man is over!Huang Ping only felt his legs go weak, and said in a trembling voice, "Your Majesty, can you change someone?"

……

Yue Er's house was diagonally across from the county house. After hearing the notice, he went back and called the two children.

"Dalang is nine years old, and he happens to be going to school. Erlang has to wait another two years."

His wife Zhang came over and asked, "What study?"

Yue Er was exiled to Taiping and married the woman Zhang who was a prisoner. The old husband and young wife gave birth to two sons.

"There is a county school in the county, and it is said that the Ming Fu personally drafted the textbook, and the old man wants to send Da Lang there."

Mrs. Zhang said dissatisfied: "Da Lang can help me with my work now..."

Yue Er smiled apologetically, "I still have lunch."

"I'm afraid it's a meal made of dead cows and horses?"

Mrs. Zhang said with disgust, "I won't go."

She grew up in Taiping with little knowledge.But Yue Er is different, Yue Er knows the importance of reading, "Lady, Dalang has read the book, and he will not be able to be an official in the future."

"What kind of official? Dreaming!"

Mrs. Zhang turned around and left, cursing as she walked, "Da Lang likes to be lazy all day long, if he goes to study, he will definitely not do the work at home later."

Yue Dashu jumped up, "I just want to study!"

"Dream!" Mrs. Zhang scolded, "Little bastard, I will kill you when I turn around!"

"Then you fight!" Yue Da bookishly hummed.

This kind of family who exiles prisoners, the tutor is like this, the children argue with Ye Niang, and the incidents of scolding Ye Niang happen from time to time.Mrs. Zhang had no choice but to beat him many times to no avail, and then drifted with the tide.

Yue Er scratched his head, thinking that the child should go to study, but he was also worried that his wife would have a seizure, so he was in a dilemma for a while.

The next morning, after Yue Er got up, he said he was going to find a job.

"Don't break your waist!" Mrs. Zhang was weaving at home.

"I know." Yue Er took the two children out of the house, wandered around a few times and arrived at the county school.

Today, there are quite a few people outside the county school, and everyone brought their children to talk about it.As soon as the children were left alone, they would fight outside the door, some howling and others cursing.

"Mingfu is here."

Those parents rushed over immediately, and after finding their children, they rewarded their buttocks with a few [-] cents, and then shouted: "Be good, or the lunch at noon will be gone."

The child nodded vigorously, almost drooling, "Aye, can we really eat at noon?"

Now it is generally two meals a day, just breakfast and dinner.Yang Xuan is young and never hungry, so Yiniang made three meals.

"Wait, there must be."

The child eats a meal in the school, so that the family saves a meal, which can save a lot throughout the year!

Anyone can settle this account.

Yang Xuan came with Cao Ying.

"I have seen Ming Palace."

Yang Xuan nodded and said to Cao Ying, "These are the seeds of the future."

Cao Ying was somewhat disapproving of the education plan, "Your Majesty, after you succeed in your studies, you will be able to accept the best talents from all over the world in the imperial examination every year, and they will be used by you."

"Do you think that I bought a reputation by setting up a county school?"

Cao Ying laughed dryly, "Don't dare."

This is the default.

Yang Xuan said softly: "Old Cao, think about it carefully, from Chen Guo to Datang, who is the master?"

"Emperor and family."

"What did Chen Guo die in?"

"The rich and powerful are greedy."

"Why can they be greedy? Why doesn't the king cut off their greedy hands?"

"The emperor can't shake them." Cao Ying looked at Yang Xuan in astonishment, "Mr. Lang, do you want... you want to replace their talents with your own?"

"The things they take in the imperial examination are what they are good at. Therefore, most of the children who pass the imperial examination every year are the children of powerful and high-ranking officials, and very few are the children of ordinary people. Lao Cao, these people are elected as officials, who will they speak for?"

"for myself."

"That's right! Generation after generation, the power has been monopolized by the nobles of the family, and the king can only watch them plan for themselves, at the expense of the public and private. How can this Great Tang be good?"

"Lang Jun wants to..."

"Something else will be taught in the school. I'm looking forward to that day."

"But those aristocratic families will rise up to oppose it, and if it is inappropriate, they will even rebel."

"Do you think I will get along well with them after I succeed?"

"Lang Jun wants to overthrow them?"

"no?"

"too difficult."

"But if Datang's Guozuo wants to extend and become strong, the only way to get rid of these vampires, otherwise it won't be long before it will repeat the same mistakes as Chen Guo."

"This..." Cao Ying thought about it carefully, "Rise and death are determined by fate!"

"Bullshit!" Yang Xuan said contemptuously: "Anyone with some brains knows that Chen Guo died at the top because he was too greedy and exploited the people too much, so that the people have no means of living. In order to whitewash the nobles, those people say it is God's will.

The people are like this, if you don't give me a way to live, then I will cut off your way to live.

Those idiots think that they are high above them, like gods overlooking all living beings, but they forget that they are so tall because they ride on the heads of the common people.

When the people are not happy to be ridden by them, they just dodge, and these people will fall to pieces! "

Cao Ying was shocked, "Where did Lang Jun think of this?"

"I figured it out myself." Yang Xuan was already studying the history of that world systematically. He saw the rise and fall of those times, and he was thinking about the truth inside.

The Tang Dynasty is very similar to the Song and Ming Dynasties. The upper classes are singing and dancing to raise peace, but the crisis is already brewing. When the time comes, those proud upper class people will become sacrifices.

"This is the learning of emperors!" Cao Ying's voice was unrecognizable, and he glanced at Yang Xuan with almost frightened eyes.

This is Godsend!
Only those who are destined to understand the learning of emperors!
Li Wenmin came out.

"I have seen Ming Palace!"

"let's start."

Sign up soon!

Immediately start class.

"not going home?"

"Aye!"

"Auntie!"

The children yelled a few times, except for one who choked up, the others were very happy.

"This is my son of Taiping, with rough skin and thick flesh, even his temperament is tougher than others." Yang Xuan praised cheekily.

"Yes!" The magistrate of Taiping County praised without blushing.

Li Wenmin cupped his hands: "The first lesson will be taught by Ming Fu."

It's a planned thing.

Yang Xuan walked into the classroom and sat down on his knees.

"I have seen Ming Palace!"

The children stood up and saluted under the leadership of Mr.

Yang Xuan shook his head, "When you enter here, you will have no official position, only learning. Sir, you can also teach your career to solve your doubts! Today I will teach you the first lesson, and I will be your sir."

Mr. took the children to salute again.

"Meet sir."

Yang Xuan said, "There are all kinds of knowledge in the world, what should I learn first? Learn to be a man first! Let you know why you study first."

"Hundreds of goodness and filial piety come first..."

Yang Xuan spoke slowly, and the children below listened carefully.

……

Yue Lao Er went out with two children, and only the youngest one was left when he returned home.

"Sent to the county school."

"You are crazy!"

Yue Laoer squatted at the door, letting Mrs. Zhang spray wildly behind her.

"What can I learn by going to the county school? Can I learn to be good? I won't go tomorrow." Mrs. Zhang roared angrily, and went back to continue working.

In her eyes, being able to survive is the kingly way, and everything else is crooked.

Everyone understands the word alive differently.The rich and powerful feel that they must be stimulated to live, so they are extravagant and lustful.For Mrs. Zhang, as long as the two children are fed every day, even if the food is poor, this is life.

People are never different, like heaven and hell.

That's why class changes are called carp jumping over the dragon's gate.

In the afternoon, Mrs. Zhang sat on the steps to rest with back pain, and Yue Er took over and continued to work.

Knock knock knock!
There was a knock on the door.Ye Niang was making a fuss today, Yue Sanshu was a little afraid of being beaten, so he was honest for a long time.Hearing a knock on the door at this moment, Fei Ye rushed to open the door.

"Brother!"

It was Yue Dashu who came back.

He was carrying a cloth schoolbag, and Mrs. Zhang just sneered when she saw it.

Yue Dashu approached and saluted.

"Auntie is working hard."

Zhang was stunned.

Yue Dashu put down his schoolbag, washed his hands, and went inside.

The Yue family's livelihood is weaving, and the couple take turns to work, from morning to night, just to feed the whole family.

Yue Er was weaving, saw the boss coming in, just about to ask a question, Yue Dashu saluted, "Aye, you have worked hard."

Yue Er: "..."

Mrs. Zhang was leaning against the door, also puzzled.

Yue Dashu stepped forward, "Aniang, I'm going to light a fire."

The children of the poor have long been in charge of the house, and Yue Dashu has learned to make a fire and cook early, but the craftsmanship is not good.Moreover, children are playful, and they would not do things if they could do nothing in the past.

What happened today?
Yue Er and Zhang's heads were full of confusion, and they were not in the mood to do their work, so they got up and followed to the outside of the kitchen, watching the boss skillfully kneading noodles.

After all, Mrs. Zhang couldn't bear it any longer, and asked, "Da Lang, who asked you to work?"

Yue Dashu said: "Today the Ming Palace gave us a lesson."

"What did you say?"

"The Ming government said that filial piety comes first, and the reason why people are human is because they know filial piety."

"Ming Fu said that there is a big, big world outside of Taiping, and there are many interesting things, but if you want to see these things, you have to study hard."

"The Ming government also said that filial children can only make progress in reading, and unfilial children will only read books full of crooked ways..."

Yue Dashu raised his head, his eyes sparkling, "Aye, Auntie, I want to make progress!"
