Take the farm down to earth

Chapter 383 Layout
At the end of the song, everyone within a radius of [-] meters was immersed in the sound of the piano and couldn't get out for a while.

Some young students could not wait to bow down to Shi Zhongkui immediately, begging him to accept themselves as disciples.

As the sound of the piano was accepted by the public, the rumor that Shi Zhongkui was also a master of the "Shangshu" also spread throughout the entire capital along with the piece of silk cloth.

Now the number of people coming to visit has increased again.

It's a pity that no matter whether he is a nobleman, a powerful man, a famous family or a noble lady, Wang Buli blocked all of them from the gate.

And the more people who have heard Shi Zhongkui's piano music, the less willing they are to force their way in.

After three days like this, around 10 o'clock every morning, the streets near the house will be full of curious scholars and famous actors in Goulan.

Since you can't see anyone, come to listen to the piano music and play it yourself or play it in the Goulan, which can also attract many literati.

As long as it can bring benefits, the flattery of Goulan in the market will also indirectly help Shi Zhongkui expand his reputation.

After another seven days, when Shi Zhongkui began to wonder if Liu Xiu had left the capital, he suddenly looked into the sky with a feeling.

I saw a cloud of purple air slowly appearing, and I immediately understood that it was either Wang Mang or Liu Xiu.

After playing a song, he flew up into the air incognito, took a closer look, and easily saw a young man in his twenties, shaking his head regretfully with a few friends, and then squeezed towards the gate of the house.

I want to see the annotations on the "Shangshu" on the silk cloth hanging out today.

But I didn't expect to change the usual today, and the silk cloth was written with a topic.

Wang Buli shouted loudly to the scholars who showed curious expressions, "Everyone, my master is meeting friends with literature today, if anyone writes an article that suits my master's liking, please come in and talk about it.

And my master did this only to learn from each other. "

Some people who were still dissatisfied at first thought that Shi Zhongkui was just trying to gain fame, so they nodded and showed a satisfied expression.

But those who are really willing to answer the questions are only some humble scholars, even young students who are so downcast that they have no books to read.

The rich and nobles have no shortage of scriptures, nor lack of learned teachers, so they naturally want to let people weigh Shi Zhongkui's details first.

This is exactly what Shi Zhongkui wanted.

Liu Xiu's family was in the middle of nowhere, and he specialized in studying "Shangshu", so he immediately stared at the silk cloth like other students.

Moreover, Shi Zhongkui also thoughtfully asked Wang Buli to put pens and ink and rolls of blank bamboo slips at the door of his house, and even put five sheets on the desk.

Such a thoughtful gesture immediately made these poor students feel good about him.

Not surprisingly, Liu Xiu and seven other students who were used as a cover entered Shi's house.

Shi Zhongkui, as the leader of the six yuan, not to mention how strong his knowledge is, at least he is better than most people in this era in terms of knowledge.

After all, the later the dynasty, the more difficult the imperial examination.

Just like the Chinese college entrance examination, the questions in the 8s and 90s are definitely not at the same level of difficulty compared to the questions written after the [-]s.

Even in the imperial examination questions after the Yuan Dynasty, the purpose of the examiners' questions was no longer to test knowledge, but to make things difficult for students.

The more remote the question, the better.

When the eight students saw that Shi Zhongkui was so young, they still had doubts and uneasiness in their hearts.

But it was just an exchange all morning, 8 people asked questions, Shi Zhongkui answered, and soon some people fell to their knees, sincerely wanting to worship Shi Zhongkui as their teacher.

Shi Zhongkui sighed in his heart.

After answering more than 8 questions, it was soon discovered that among the eight people, many of them could not even recite the complete Analects of Confucius and Mencius.

Even if Liu Xiu went to Beijing to study for 4 years, he could not recite the complete "Shangshu".

It's not that these people are stupid, but that they want to learn. Even if the teachers who master the knowledge teach, they are not apprentices, and they often only teach part of it.

Of course, Shi Zhongkui also found that the Four Books and Five Classics he learned in the Great Zhou Dynasty were quite different from the classics of this era.

If you think about it for a while, you will know that the complete scriptures of future generations are gradually formed after countless additions and subtractions by ancestors.

But Shi Zhongkui couldn't be troubled by this. It can be said that the capital is definitely the place where the scriptures are most concentrated.

At night, I secretly went to various academies, schools, and aristocratic families to walk around. It only took about ten days, and I could easily use the space farm to copy all kinds of scriptures with my mind.

Even Shi Zhongkui discovered that even if it is the same scripture, there are differences on the bamboo slips handed down from different families.

In the past ten days, Liu Xiu and others really realized that what Shi Zhongkui had learned was boundless.

And he is not stingy at all, as long as you ask, he will answer.

In more than ten days, everyone has copied the complete "Shangshu" and "Spring and Autumn".

At the same time, classics such as "The Analects of Confucius" and "Mencius" are also asked and answered.

It made the 8 students spend most of their time just keeping records these days.

Of course, in their hearts, they already regarded Shi Zhongkui as a real mentor.

It's a pity that Shi Zhongkui is unwilling to accept these people as disciples.

Not to mention that seven ordinary students are of no use to him. Although being Liu Xiu's emperor teacher sounds nice, Shi Zhongkui is unwilling to be tied up with him.

Just being a counselor and helping Liu Xiu raise troops to fight for the world is enough to influence Liu Xiu and the future emperors of the Eastern Han Dynasty to turn to Taoism.

After three months like this, Shi Zhongkui also tested Liu Xiu three times.

On a snowy day, Shi Zhongkui left a volume of military books and a jade pendant for Liu Xiu. Shi Zhongkui disappeared in the capital on the pretext of traveling around in an ox cart driven by Wang Buli.

And the book of war and the jade pendant had already left their imprints. From now on, Shi Zhongkui could appear around him anytime he wanted to find Liu Xiu.

Liu Xiu, who got the book of war alone, also understood at this time that his teacher was definitely not just as simple as a university student.

Then think about dozens of large and small peasant armies such as Red Eyebrow, Green Forest, and Bronze Horse rising up one after another, and a large number of powerful landlords also took advantage of the momentum and began to turn against Mang. Liu Xiu and Shi Zhongkui dismissed Wang Mang's various actions.

I vaguely guessed in my heart that my teacher probably chose me.

In an instant, Liu Xiu became excited.

Fortunately, he quickly thought of Shi Zhongkui's words about waiting for the right time, forced himself to calm down, and immediately decided to pack his bags and return home.

Although the branch of my own family belongs to the distant branch of the side concubine, but no matter what, it is much stronger than fighting alone.

Moreover, there are many children in Nanyang's family. At the beginning of the army, these people were the ones who could be trusted.

In addition, if you want to seek big things, if you can't even handle the dominance of the family, you don't have to think about fighting for the world.

After bowing respectfully to the disappearing ox cart, Liu Xiu carried the book of war on his back, packed his luggage and went back to his hometown.

But what Liu Xiu didn't know was that when Shi Zhongkui saw him return to Nanyang, he also found a place in Nanyang to buy several hills and a large piece of wasteland.

He also bought dozens of servants and used millet to attract refugees to open up wasteland secretly.
