Chapter 617 Be a hero and start learning culture...

"Zhang Heng, Zhang Shun, I have heard your brother's name for a long time. It is a great fortune to meet you today! Please accept my brother's respect!"

"Get up quickly!"

Seeing that Lu Junyi brought the Zhang brothers here and was about to kneel down on one knee as soon as they met, Li Yan supported the two of them, and he couldn't help but laugh.

What is this inexplicable sense of déjà vu?

Looking closer, Zhang Shun, who had just rescued the drowning scholar, was only eleven or twelve years old. He was slender, with delicate features, and still childish. His elder brother, Zhang Heng, was around seventeen or eighteen years old. .

Both of them looked excited, with a bit of reverence in their eyes, Lu Junyi smiled and said: "Brother Yi helped the boxing gym, wiped out Wuyou, and has already gained a good reputation in the world. At that time, the Zhang brothers heard that it was my brother who recruited each other. I didn't even know it was to save Judge Gongsun, so I came here in a hurry."

Suo Chao also praised: "At that time, I left the capital, and I waited all the way north to Jizhou to catch up. Unexpectedly, Judge Ding made a slap in the face, and the Zhang brothers noticed it, otherwise they would be lost. He is a first-class good man, forcing Judge Ding to avoid his edge."

Li Yan clasped his fists together: "Since that's the case, the two of you are so loyal and helped each other. I should be the one to thank you!"

Zhang Heng hurriedly said: "Brother, what is this? You destroyed the Wuyou Cave, and all the heroes in the world are in admiration, not to mention rescuing Judge Gongsun, the bird court is unfair..."

Suo Chao covered his mouth and said with a smile: "Anyway, we finally meet again today, it's really a happy event!"

Everyone said: "Let's go! Eat meat and drink!"

In the past, it would be time to go to Huixian Tower for free prostitution, but now Suian Academy also hired a cook, and immediately arranged for it.

A big round table was set up in the backyard, and everyone sat with chairs, looking at the scenery of the Bian River and the bustling city in the capital. If there hadn't been the tragedy of jumping into the river before, the mood would be very comfortable.

The back kitchen was busy, and while waiting for the dishes to be served, Li Yan chatted with the Zhang brothers and asked, "You two brothers have come to the capital, are you planning to make a living in the water transport?"

Zhang Heng smiled wryly and said, "Brother Shi Qian introduced us to the job, but it's a pity that it's not smooth, I'm afraid we'll have to go back to Xunyang River..."

Li Yan said solemnly: "What exactly happened? If we encounter injustice, we will help each other!"

The others also nodded, Zhang Heng said with a smile: "Brother is really warm-hearted, it's not unfair, but I'm used to following my own will, and I can't bear the constraints, so I want to go back to Xunyang River to be happy!"

Li Yan knew very well that after this man returned, he was afraid that he would formally engage in the Jiangshang murder business, so instead of directly persuading him, he looked at Zhang Shun: "Where's Zhang Erlang?"

Zhang Shun, who was still young, was somewhat reluctant to part with the prosperity of the capital, but he said without hesitation: "I will go wherever elder brother goes!"

Zhang Heng patted his brother on the shoulder, lost his smile, and sighed: "It's a pity that you go back with me, and you have been a boatman on the Xunyang River for generations..."

Zhang Shun didn't feel sorry for this: "So what? Our brothers are so watery, isn't it because they were born to live on the river?"

Zhang Heng shook his head: "That's all for me, how old are you, how do you know that you are waiting for your life? Since you have come to the capital, you should study hard, and in the future, you will be able to honor your ancestors if you get a name in the exam!"

Zhang Shun didn't appreciate it, and muttered: "I don't like reading, and I get a headache when I see the words... Besides, if there is a bright future in reading, that person just now doesn't have to jump into the river!"

Zhang Heng was furious, and slapped it on him: "What nonsense are you talking about! All the high-ranking officials read books. If you saved someone who jumped into the river, do you look down on reading?"

Li Yan also said: "Famous ministers in the Han and Tang Dynasties are mostly capable of both civil and military skills. Even if they are not for the Jinshi exam, they should still study."

Zhang Heng nodded again and again, looking at the lecture room not far away, his eyes lit up: "Just now I heard from brother Lu that my brother opened an academy, and my younger brother has been smart since he was a child, how about leaving it to my brother to teach?"

Zhang Shun felt very uncomfortable, he was born with a fair skin, and his water-based talent was even better than that of his brother, but in terms of reading, he was never on par with his intelligence, the elder brother's words are unconscionable...

Li Yan was a little surprised. His previous sources of students were all contacts accumulated during the past half a year of practicing medicine. He didn't even meet the Zhang brothers for an hour, which was too casual: "You want to entrust Brother Ling to me?"

But Zhang Heng felt that he was too witty: "Those gentlemen in private schools look down on people like us and refuse to teach them with heart. How can they compare with my brother?"

"That's not true..."

At this moment, a voice came faintly from behind, everyone turned their heads, and saw Zhu Wu standing not far away, with an inexplicable and strange expression, as if excited beyond words, and as if they still couldn't believe it.

Li Yan beckoned and said: "The visitor is a guest, so there is no need to be so special, Zhu Xuezi also come and sit."

Zhu Wu was unwilling to sit down before switching to him, but now he couldn't wait, and asked: "At the beginning of human beings, nature is good, nature is similar, learning is far away... Is this a textbook specially written by Lin Langjun for children?"

Li Yan was slightly taken aback, a little embarrassed.

Due to his professionalism, he was very unimpressed with Wenchao Gong. In the Tang Dynasty, let alone poetry and songs, he had never plagiarized an article by an ancient person.

As a result, in the world of Song Dynasty, they also started copying textbooks...

Although "San Zi Jing" is an act of enlightenment for the benefit of children all over the world, I still feel a little awkward, especially when someone asks if it is his work, I can't say that it is a Liangzhou businessman. In the end, Li Yan can only nod: "Yes, this book is called "San Zi Jing", and it is specially used by beginners."

Zhu Wu was moved: "Mr. Lin is really too low-key. How can such a good enlightenment book be kept secret?"

He originally saw Li Yan showing off his photographic memory in Taixue, and thought he was a boastful talker, but now he has changed his mind greatly, and he stood up and bowed his hands: "Now I know what Lin Langjun said in Taixue. , The content of this "Three Character Classic" is easy to understand, but not superficial, and it is easy to read, which is much better than "Rabbit Garden Book"!"

Jiang Jing was originally talking to An Daoquan, so he couldn't help coming over at this time. After learning about the "Three Character Classic", his eyes brightened: "Brother, why don't you promote this teaching material, and the reputation of my Suian Academy will be spread all at once!"

Li Yan shook his head: "This "Three Character Classic" is not suitable for large-scale dissemination at present. It agrees with the essentials of Mencius. If it is seen by scholars, it will be refuted and cause unnecessary trouble."

For later generations, they are used to Confucius and Mencius and said that the height of Mencius is similar to that of Confucius, but in fact, Mencius was only one of the sages of Confucianism at first, until Han Yu praised Mencius and created the theory of Taoism, which shows that Confucianism is passed down from generation to generation. The last generation was handed down from Confucius to Mencius, and the status of Mencius was highlighted.

But Han Yu does not represent the views of all scholars. There are still many people who oppose Mencius. For example, Sima Guang doesn’t like Mencius, but admires Xunzi and Yang Xiong, saying that they are the king’s way. There are not a few people who agree with him. "At the beginning of the book, "at the beginning of human beings, nature is good, nature is similar, and habits are far away", which refuted Xunzi's concept.

Therefore, if a person with no status in the literary world like Li Yan, if he promotes teaching materials and guides children to believe in Mencius' theory, those scholar-bureaucrats who oppose him will definitely attack him. As for the enlightenment effect of "San Zi Jing", it is secondary... …

Zhu Wu felt a little regretful when he heard this: "Many doctors in Taixue can talk about Confucianism all day long, but few people are willing to write such easy-to-understand teaching materials for children. It would be a pity if they don't spread it. .”

Li Yandao: "The road has to be walked step by step. It is very good to use it as Sui'an Academy's own textbooks. I will use "Rabbit Garden Book" as a comparison. What really enlightens children is "San Zi Jing" and "Hundred Family Surnames". " and "Thousand Characters"."

Zhu Wu has studied "Thousand Characters", but has never seen "Hundred Surnames". This is indeed a product of the Northern Song Dynasty, but it is not widely circulated at present, and the Taixue has not cited it as a textbook. If it is replaced by others, it must be There was a question mark, but when Li Yan said it, there was an inexplicable convincing force.

At this time, Li Yan also faded away from the embarrassment of being a copyist, and looked at Zhu Wu with an amiable smile: "Since Zhu students love the "San Zi Jing" so much, are you willing to take up the post of teaching students in the academy?"

Zhu Wu was unwilling to teach "Rabbit Garden Book" before, and he had no resistance to the new enlightenment textbook "San Zi Jing", but he hesitated: "But now I am related to the Taixue case, and I am suspected of murder. Can it be a teaching?"

Li Yandao: "Since Judge Ding put you with me, he meant for me to arrange it. What's more, this case is not only the bribery and fraud of Taixue, but also has something to do with Mingzunjiao, right?"

Zhu Wu's complexion changed slightly: "Sir, do you know Ming Zun's teaching?"

Li Yan's voice sank: "Mingzun Sect and Maitreya Sect are two major religions that are strictly prohibited by the imperial court. There are many unruly things in the religion, and they often persecute the people in order to achieve success. I hate such behaviors. of."

"The harm of this teaching in places like the capital is not as harmful as the previous Wuyoudong, but if we talk about the whole country, it is higher than Wuyoudong. Today's Taixue case is causing a lot of trouble, and the people should also Know who is behind the scenes to fuel the flames."

Zhu Wudao: "But Mingzun's disciples are quite cruel, I'm afraid..."

Li Yan looked at everyone: "Have you ever been afraid?"

Lu Junyi took the lead in laughing: "A man stands upright, we swept away the rats in the Wuyou Cave, can't these cult thieves be wiped out?"

Everyone agreed.

Li Yan nodded: "Very good, but Mingzun's disciples are more threatening than Wuyoudong. Next, besides practicing martial arts, you also have to study literature."

Lu Junyi's smile froze instantly.

Li Yan looked at the group of heroes who shrunk their heads: "Even if you love to practice martial arts, you still need to practice Chinese for an hour every day. I will teach you personally. You don't have to be a great scholar in the literary world, but you should think twice about everything and have both five virtues." , the talent of a general!"
