After five years of teaching support, Daming became an empire on which the sun never sets.

Chapter 77
Ying Tianfu, Kunning Palace.

"Niangniang." Queen Ma's personal female official Yue'er walked in and said, "Those Confucian scholars in the Hanlin Academy are unwilling to accept Niangniang's will."

It turned out that after seeing Qin Yu recruiting female students, Queen Ma planned to do her best.First, a pilot private school was set up in Yingtianfu to recruit women from Jinling City to study.

If the school can go smoothly, it will be promoted in all provinces and provinces in the future.

She didn't know that she would encounter difficulties in the first step. She originally wanted to select a few well-educated people in the Hanlin Academy to be pilot private school teachers. Unexpectedly, the Queen's decree went down, and those people in the Hanlin Academy refused to accept the order.

"I had expected this result." Queen Ma sighed.

"Those Confucian scholars are really annoying. After hearing the mother's will, one by one is like seeing a ghost. There is a lot of reason to speak, and opening and closing is the words of a saint, and I can't get in a word. "Yue'er said angrily.

"Those Confucian scholars are good at eloquence, how could you be their opponent." Queen Ma said.

"There are even Confucian scholars who said that even if they died, they would not accept the will of the empress. They also said that the empress would be suspected of interfering in the administration of the harem, saying that running a school is the foundation of the country, and the empress should not participate." Yue'er said, "Among them Those who opposed the most fiercely were Song Lian, who was demoted, and Gao Qi. Liu Bowen was there at the time, and although he did not directly object, he clearly disagreed."

"Song Lian, Gao Qi, Liu Bowen, are the three great Confucian scholars in the world." Queen Ma said, "The attitude of several of them has a great influence on the scholars all over the world. It seems that this matter can only be done temporarily."

"Is it really that hard to get women to go to school?" Yue'er sighed, "I heard that Niangniang wanted women to go to school, it was as if someone had dug their ancestral graves."

"No way, it's a rule that has been passed down for thousands of years that women can't go to school, and it's hard to change it in a short time." Queen Ma said.

Even though she is the queen, she can't do whatever she wants, just as those Confucian scholars said, running a school is the foundation of the country, and the queen is suspected of meddling in government affairs in the harem.When she assisted Zhu Yuanzhang before, she participated in a lot of political affairs, and she did a very good job. Now that she is the queen, she can't express her opinions casually.

"The reason why those Confucian scholars disagreed is, first, to defend the traditions that have been passed down for thousands of years. Second, they are afraid that if they accept it, they will be punished by the world's scholars, leaving behind a laughing stock through the ages. Confucian scholars value reputation more than life, so they say they would rather Death is not acceptable."

"Mr. Qin's place is a remote mountain village. It's easier to recruit women to school. The only opponents are simple villagers who haven't read a book. The opposition is not fierce. As long as there is a scholar in the village, he will stand up and oppose it to the end."

"And here is Yingtianfu, people's ideas are more solid, and the Hanlin Academy has gathered world-renowned scholars, and the opposition is like a surging wave."

"Is this the case? Empress is not someone who easily backs down." Yue'er said.

"Only wait for Mr. Qin to teach a few outstanding women." Queen Ma said, "If I have a Mu Guiying, who is invincible on the battlefield, and a female champion who is debating knowledge. If you are superior to the great Confucian scholars in the world, people in the world will have nothing to say. If I push forward vigorously, everything will come naturally.”

"Is Mr. Qin that powerful?" Yue'er asked.

"Let's put it this way, he can teach people like Su Qin, Zhang Yi, Sun Bin, Bai Qi, Li Mu, Lu Buwei, and Zhuge Liang." Queen Ma said, "It's just that he may teach women Baiqi and Li Mu in the future. .Because there are already two women who are his students."

"Listening to the mother, I want to be his student." Yue'er said.

……

Qin Yu took a class to the back mountain and passed a shady place.

Ahead was a cliff with a small mountain spring running down, tick-tock on the rocks.The surrounding area is covered with dense woods, extremely cold and humid, and there is no light all year round.

"It seems that this time we have to cut down dozens of big trees." Qin Yu said.

"Sir, why do you have to cut down so many trees?" Xu Miaojin asked.

"The villagers have been worrying about not having enough to eat." Qin Yu said, "For this matter, I have been thinking about a solution."

"Look at this place, it's very suitable for growing mushrooms."

"What kind of planting method?" Zhu Di asked

"Throw the cut down tree trunks here, and after a while, they will become rotten wood. There are already a lot of fungal spores on the trees, and they will grow quickly in a humid and shady environment."

"You can still make mushrooms grow?" Lu Heidan was surprised. "In the past, children in the village went to the woods to pick up mushrooms after it rained. Although they were delicious, they couldn't find many."

"Human interference can make them grow in pieces. Even if they can't be eaten, they can make up for a lot of food shortages." Qin Yudao.

"In addition, in order for it to grow edible mushrooms instead of red umbrellas, the soil under the edible mushrooms can be dug up, and there are a lot of their spore hyphae in the soil."

"Sir, what are mycelium and what are spores?" Zhu Yingrao asked.

"Spores are the reproductive cells of mushrooms. When they grow into filaments, they are mycelium. They are too small to be seen by the naked eye." Qin Yudao said, "If it is a straw mushroom with a short growth cycle, a large piece can be harvested in twenty days. Planting potatoes Although the output is high, there are few plants, and it takes a while to solve the urgent need. The school's food cannot be distributed to the villagers too much, and you are growing up. "

The meals at Lujia Village Primary School consist of rice and bacon every day, which is seen by the villagers and often envied.And Qin Yu also asked three village students to bring back a little every week, and the other villagers didn't get any points.One is to encourage the villagers to send more children to study, and the other is to help the poor. To solve the problem of food in Lujia Village, we have to start from the root cause.

"Sir, you know a lot!" The students looked at Qin Yu with admiration one by one.

"Being able to do practical things for the common people to keep them fed and clothed is what a scholar should do." Xu Da sighed after hearing this, "Only Mr. Qin can do this." He was used to seeing those in the courtroom before. Great Confucians, apart from writing articles, chanting poems and songs, and teaching people to be kind, they don't seem to have done anything practical for the common people.

"You are so right." Qin Yu agreed with his words, "As the old saying goes, self-cultivation, balancing the family, governing the country and the world, and the first task of pacifying the world is to feed the people and turn knowledge into food and food. wealth."

"Sir, we don't have to cut down fresh trees and wait for them to turn into dead wood. There are a lot of dead wood in the villagers' homes, so mushrooms will grow faster." Lu Fugui said.

"It makes sense." Qin Yu said, "After school in the afternoon, you should tell the patriarch to let him collect dead wood from each household and move it here together. Then make grooves in the wood and put fermented sorghum poles in it... Forget it, there are still a lot of things to pay attention to in the operation, I will direct them myself."

After that, the crowd started to work together, and many people were more powerful, and soon a dozen large trees were cut down nearby.Afraid that there would not be enough dead wood in the villagers' homes, they threw the trunks of several trees under the damp and cold mountain spring.

Lu Heidan and other students from the village found the place where edible mushrooms were dug up before, dug up the soil below, and piled it up beside it.

After being busy for most of the afternoon, only a few big trees were brought back together.Seeing this, nearby villagers also came to help.

Back to school the crowd started to get busy.Qin Yu drew the drawings of the water overturning car and marked the dimensions. Xu Da and the male classmates made wooden boards, tenon and mortise... The crowd had a clear division of labor, and the two girls were helping everyone by the side.

"Mr. Qin, tell us a story." Zhu Yingrao suggested when everyone was busy doing things.

It's obviously boring to work without talking, and the children like to listen to the teacher's stories.

"Okay, what kind of stories do you want to hear? Fairy tales, fairy tales, or fantasy, cultivating immortals? Or ancient martial arts, supernatural, two-dimensional? Sports, military, infinite heavens? Son-in-law, God of War, you can choose the same."
