Chapter 94 Jia Yu Village (515)

May twenty.

At the beginning of the month, there was a monthly exam in the academy.

At that time, Chen Heng and Xue Biao had not yet returned, so they could only be counted as absent from the exam.The master in the academy didn't care too much.Now that there are so many students, there will always be accidents or people asking for leave.

Jia Yucun deliberately chose the third day when the two returned to the academy before calling them into the lecture hall for a make-up exam.

The time is all in the afternoon, and the exam lasts for five days.The questions are also brand new, and even a little more difficult than the content of everyone's exams.It can be regarded as a small punishment from the academy for these leave-seekers.

Chen Heng studied very hard on a daily basis, so this level of difficulty naturally did not bother him.But it was miserable for Xue Biao who took the make-up exam together. All his thoughts these years have been spent on studying painting with Master Xu.

Having not touched the book for nearly half a month, Xue Biao had to think about many topics in his mind for a while before writing.

Chen Heng, who finished ahead of schedule, was seeing his friend's anxiety in his eyes.Not to mention that he doesn't sympathize with his friends, it's also very interesting to watch the other party make trouble occasionally.

Chen Heng turned his gaze, and there were four other people gathered in the distance in the empty lecture hall.

The head of the mountain sat in the center, holding the latest newspaper in his hand.Jia Yucun was sitting beside him, and Master Xu and Master Jin were standing behind them.

The status of the former two is naturally needless to say in the academy.On the contrary, the two masters Xu and Jin have now been promoted to promotion officials, equivalent to the deans of academic affairs in later generations, and they are also in charge of the new lecturers and guests.

The four of them were surrounding the newspaper in novelty, discussing the content on it.

Because of the distance, the masters deliberately lowered their voices.Chen Heng didn't hear very clearly, so he could only observe from his demeanor.

The head of the mountain has the most amusing demeanor. He turns a newspaper over and over again, strokes his beard from time to time, and looks like he can guess that the other party must like it very much.

Jia Yucun's beard looks the best when trimmed.As the second in command of the academy, he listened more to Xu Jinhou and Jin Shenzhi.The latter two seem to have different opinions, and they are playing tricks on each other.

Chen Hengcai watched the excitement for a while, and Pei Huaizhen saw the monkey holding back a smile, and pointed at him on the spot, "Since you have passed the exam, why don't you come over and hand in the paper?"

Oops, found out.Chen Heng shrank his head, quickly picked up the paper and walked towards the masters.

"You came just in time." Jia Yucun greeted Chen Heng to come to his side, "The two masters are discussing about your newspaper."

After listening to Jia Yucun's narration, Chen Heng understood the argument between Master Xu and Master Jin.

The former thinks that this is very good now, and the life of the market is what ordinary people are willing to see.The latter hopes to turn the newspaper into a larger and more professional "Jing'an Wenshe".

Chen Heng didn't think so much, he just wondered: "Why can't you write them all?"

Newspapers are starting to run now, and what they lack is content, high-quality content, and a lot of content.

There is no time to pick and choose right now, as long as it is a good thing, put it on top, and first seize and expand your audience.

Now a piece of fertile uncultivated land is waiting for them, it is not the time for intensive cultivation at all.

Chen Heng predicted that within four months at most, people in Yangzhou would also come out to run newspapers.In eight or nine months at the most, the "Jing'an Daily" circulated from Yangzhou will first set off a trend of non-governmental newspapers in the coastal provinces.

In our land, there are not many fools and fools.

Besides, money is touching, no one can refuse the temptation of money, unless the money is not enough.

Pei Huaizhen was a little surprised by the answer, and stopped slightly for a while, he nodded and smiled, "You did a good job." He thought about it, and regretted, "It's just that the name is ugly."

When the head of the mountain said this, the other three teachers nodded in unison.

"It's a little less elegant." Jia Yucun pointed to the two characters of "Jing'an" on the newspaper, "If it's called Huaiyang, I think it's good."

"Since the word "Daily" exists, I think it can be called Shenghong." Master Xu also commented.

Being buried by the teachers for no reason, Chen Heng was stunned on the spot, a little dumbfounded.

The head of the mountain, Pei Huaizhen, didn't let him go, and pointed at his students, "Go back and read the Book of Songs and Songs of Chu, don't go out and embarrass the academy."

"Yes." Chen Heng saluted helplessly, handed in the test paper, left Xue Biao, who was frowning, and ran away quickly.

After running halfway, Chen Heng was stopped by someone from behind. Looking back, it turned out to be Jia Yucun who was chasing him out.

The two met on the road, before Chen Heng saluted, the other party patted him on the shoulder and said, "Come with me as a teacher."

Confused, Chen Heng was taken all the way to Jia Yucun's residence.Jia Yucun asked the students to find a place to sit, while he went to find something on the bookshelf.

After a while, Jia Yucun walked up to Chen Heng with a few books in his hands, "Take it back and read it carefully."

Chen Heng took it over and saw that it was really the Book of Songs, Songs of Chu, Tang Poetry and Song Ci, etc.

"Master, I don't think the name Jing An is that bad." Chen Heng argued a little.

Jia Yucun was noncommittal, showing a playful smile, and said: "It can be better, can't it?"

The thin Jia Yucun sat at the table with his robe lifted up.His residence is a combination of the study and the residence, with only a bookshelf as a partition in the middle.There are also several pairs of calligraphy and paintings without seals hanging in the gap.

An ordinary room, but the owner made it a bit elegant.

Looking around at Chen Heng, thinking about Jia Yucun's elegant and easy-going performance in the academy for two or three years, he couldn't help being curious.

How did such a person become what he was later?

Jia Yucun saw the silly student in a daze, so he asked with a smile, "Sit down and have a cup of tea?"

"Ah, good." Chen Heng thought that the teacher was inviting him, so he nodded in agreement.

A small oolong made it rare for the teacher and student to get together.

But sitting and chatting, there must always be some topics to talk about.Jia Yucun is well versed in this way, and commented on the topic in the life of poets in the past dynasties.The topic unconsciously turned to the books Chen Heng usually reads.

As soon as he heard that Chen Heng had read "On Salt and Iron", Jia Yucun was very happy and praised him repeatedly for his studiousness.

"Master, have you ever been to Hangzhou?" Chen Heng looked around, but noticed a painting of "West Lake Broken Bridge" on the wall.

Jia Yucun pinched his beard and smiled, "Before I came to the academy as a teacher, I also traveled to great rivers and mountains."

As soon as this was mentioned, Jia Yucun got a little excited, got up and took a lot of playthings from the bookshelf, and showed them to the students one by one.Now Chen Heng is not Wuxia Amon, and he often follows Xue Biao to gain knowledge, knowing that the proud things that Jia Yucun brought out are not too valuable.

Chen Heng didn't underestimate these things, but he felt that Jia Yucun was definitely not a person who lived a luxurious life, so he was even more curious.

He couldn't help asking: "It must cost a lot of money to travel."

Jia Yucun nodded, and explained to the students with a smile, "Being a teacher for the children of rich families." Without losing his humor, he said, "Do you understand, the title of Jinshi is better than some scholar, too. many."

Chen Heng himself is a scholar, so how could he not know the gold content of Jinshi.In some poor places, if a scholar can be produced, it is something that the county will celebrate with drums and gongs.

"It sounds like an interesting experience." Chen Heng was also a restless person in his previous life. When he had nothing to do, he liked to go out with a bag on his back and travel around by himself.

With this experience, he is very aware of the experience of going to one place and working part-time to see the scenery.It's fun and fun, but when it comes to hardships and shyness on the road, it's also indispensable.

A penny beats a hero.

Only when you are truly poor can you know the embarrassment.

Jia Yucun smiled, looked at Chen Heng in plain clothes, and sincerely advised: "You don't want to learn to be a teacher. It is not easy for a farmer to study, and he is not as good as a rich man who can do whatever he wants."

As soon as he said this, Jia Yucun immediately remembered a student he had taught.

The beloved son of the Zhen family in Jinling was once one of his students.It was the first time in Jia Yucun's life that he saw the life of a powerful family, which shocked him greatly.

Until now, when Jia Yucun thinks back on that experience, he still has mixed feelings in his heart.

I have studied hard for more than ten years, and I was cautious when I was an official, which is not as lucky as a child's reincarnation.

This is the smell of rich wine and meat, is there a frozen bone on the road?

Jia Yucun concealed the unwillingness in his heart, but his expression suddenly turned serious, and he asked Chen Heng, who was from the same background as himself, "Have you written your latest policy?"

Chen Heng nodded, wondering why Jia Yucun's mind changed so quickly.

"Hurry up and show me." Jia Yucun said in a deep voice.

　I don't know why, but every time I look at Jia Yucun, I always think of Shengtian son-in-law Qi Tongwei, and the phrase "I'm afraid of poverty."

　　What a pity, what a pity.By the way, thank you everyone. With everyone’s support, our order has reached 1400. Hahahahahahaha, congratulations.
