Sui Dynasty: I, Yang Guang, am both scrupulous and stable

Chapter 167 Luoyang son
"Motsuka Zai, my father said that the schools will be established into an alliance. From now on, most of the students in the school will be children of aristocratic families. Wouldn't this become a place where everyone knows each other and makes friends with each other?"

Facing Yang Guang's question, Yuan Xiaoju simply smiled and nodded slightly.

From his point of view, this school was just a move of the private schools of many prominent families into one place. The royal family hired the best classrooms and used the best teachers and conditions to train their children.

I was a little worried at the beginning, but after I figured it out, there were royal subsidies, and I could recruit a lot of young talents under my command, so why not do it.

Yang Guang mentioned at this time that he didn't know what Yang Guang meant, he just nodded and smiled.

Seeing his attitude, Yang Guang was even happy in his heart. He had to let them have such an attitude. The school must have been a gathering place for nobles at the beginning, and it was impossible for ordinary people to squeeze in.

Even if there are a few people who squeeze in, it must be those businessmen who spent a lot of money and came in through the door, but everything will slowly change after the assessment system is implemented.

A good school can make a lot of money, so people who come to study from other places, the money from merchants, and the large amount of subsidies from the court, in order to maintain the ranking, they will definitely continue to look for good students, and even spend money to grab students. .

They may not run schools anymore, but once a school is set up, it is not so easy to be replaced. If you don’t run a school that others have left behind, you will continue to run it. This kind of famous and profitable thing will definitely be done by prominent families in various places. Will continue to do it.

This is a trap, a trap that is very friendly to the nobles in the early stage. When you fall into the trap, the soft bamboo will not kill you, but it will make you miserable and unable to climb out.

Yang Guang then followed Yuan Xiaoju with confidence, and Yuan Xiaoju enthusiastically introduced the various facilities of Luoyang Academy to everyone.

"This is an ordinary classroom. I have equipped each room with twenty seats, where the teacher can give lectures. I have prepared fifteen such classrooms, which are the most basic."

"Here, here is the large lecture hall, which can accommodate a hundred people at the same time. If it is crowded, it can be more. This kind of lecture hall is reserved for famous masters like Master Wang to come over, so that students can gather together and experience study."

"This is a medical school. His Majesty said that he must set up a medical school. He also said that Mr. Sun Simiao and Mr. Sun would come in person for a while. Because the medical school in Luoyang didn't know how to do it, Mr. Sun would also bring the doctors from Daxing City. Help, and His Majesty has ordered that arithmetic must be added as a subject, all students must learn it, and all the necessary tools must be prepared."

It was obvious that Yuan Xiaoju had put a lot of thought into it. Yang Guang praised: "Yuan Zhongzai is really thorough in everything he does. I can seem to see many young men in Luoyang City reading loudly in the school."

"Hahaha, Your Highness is ridiculous. What I did was just my duty."

At this time, there was a loud noise at the door of the school, and several people walked out.

Yuan Xiaoju asked the attendants around him: "What's going on outside?"

"There are some young masters coming from outside. We look familiar to them all and they are all famous young masters. I heard that the school is about to open, so I wanted to come and take a look."

Yuan Xiaoju laughed: "I didn't expect them to be so impatient." Then he waved his hand and said, "Master Wang, Your Highness the King of Jin, we might as well go out and meet the talented people in Luoyang City."

Wang Long was in high spirits and made a respectful gesture of invitation to Yang Guang. Yang Guang returned the greeting and walked out together.

When he walked out, a group of craftsmen were hanging the plaque of the school. Yang Guang became curious when he saw the bright words "Luoyang Central South University Hall" on the plaque.

"Zai Motsuka, why do you call it Central South University Hall?"

"The name inscribed by His Majesty, in the middle of the Central Plains and south of the Yellow River, is the Central South University Hall."

"Father is really concerned about school affairs."

Yuan Xiaoju immediately flattered him: "Your Majesty has done his best for the young people of the Sui Dynasty. As ministers, we are deeply moved when we see him. We can only repay Your Majesty by working hard to promote the school."

Yuan Xiao is like a good person, flattering him from afar.

A dozen young men stood at the door and dismounted from their horses. All of them were well-dressed, but no one was dressed worse.

There were very few young princes in the city who didn't know Yuan Xiaoju. When they saw Yuan Xiaoju, they came up to say hello. More than a dozen people bowed their hands together and saluted. It was a good scene.

Yuan Xiaoju introduced to Yang Guang and Wang Long with a smile on his face: "His Royal Highness the King of Jin, Master Wang, this is Yang Jiangchuan, the son of the Wu family of Yang Cheng, the magistrate of Luoyang County, and these two are Huang Menying and Wu Weixin who are involved in politics in Luoyang. Young Master, Huang Shaoqian, Wu Shida..."

These young masters were introduced one by one. When these people heard their names, they immediately saluted: "The common people have met His Royal Highness King Jin and the Master Wang."

There is no problem for people who have not become officials to call themselves ordinary people.

Yang Guang said there was no need to be polite.

Yuan Xiaoju asked with a smile: "What are you doing here today?"

The leader, Yang Jiangchuan, was vaguely the center of the group. He stepped forward to answer Yuan Xiaoju's question: "Yuan Zhongzai, we heard that the school is about to recruit students, and my wife has also been recruited into the school. I wanted to come today." Take a look at the Central South University, and my father asked me to come and see if there is anything we can do to help." It is a good thing that the young master is enthusiastic about practical things, and his energetic appearance is very gratifying to see. .

In this era, these young men enjoy the best education and the best conditions. Needless to say, the outstanding ones among them are all outstanding people and noble class. However, no matter where they are, capable people and idlers always coexist. It must be the same for those coming into the school now.

At the beginning, these capable people will soon emerge, and their performance and performance will be judged on the same dimension. Neither the capable nor the incompetent can hide.

This is also one of the reasons why they are keen on the school. For this group of people, this is nothing less than a good thing. It is not better than not knowing, being startled by a comparison, and a comparison can better show their abilities, so Yang Jiangchuan is like this Young people who were very confident in their abilities were very enthusiastic about setting up this school with the imperial court.

Otherwise, the people recommended from all over the country will be mixed, and there is no guarantee that a powerful person will only be a loser, and he will have to succumb to a loser.

After two or three years of school selection, these most capable young men will be selected. Then the number of these people will be reduced. In order to maintain their grades, the school will naturally have to find a way.

Yuan Xiaoju looked at a group of young people and said, "Just now we were inside listening to the excitement outside. What were you doing?"

"Reporting to Genzukazai, I am composing poetry. Normally we get together to write poetry and drink when we have nothing to do."

"Very good, very good. Since you are here, why not come to the hall and have a look together? If you can write a poem that will be passed down, you will live up to the beautiful scenery of today."

A group of young people followed them back to the school. They were very curious about such a new school. The older ones were eighteen or nineteen, and the younger ones were only thirteen or fourteen. A group of people were looking around and studying in the school. .

Looking at the enthusiastic young people, Wang Long felt happy and said with a smile: "Since so many people are here today and they are in the school, I want to give you the first lesson."

The famous Master Wang was willing to give lectures, and everyone was naturally excited. As soon as he shouted, they all gathered together. A group of people sat on the floor in front of Wang Long. Wang Long held a book in his hand, which he opened and closed again.

He looked at the sky, at the group of people in front of him, and then at Yang Guang and said, "If you don't want to talk about the knowledge in the book today, I have something I want to talk to you about."

"Master Wang, I wonder what's going on?"

"I want to ask young people, why do you study?"

After asking this question, Master Wang found a big stone and sat down, waiting for the young masters' answer.

The young masters did not expect that it was not a question of knowledge, nor was it just a talk about metaphysics. So you looked at me, I looked at you, and whispered to each other for a while, but no one answered.

Yang Jiangchuan was the first to answer again. He stood up straight and said: "Master Wang, I study for fame and fortune. My father at home said that a man should be a real man, either wearing armor on the battlefield or writing in the temple. I have to choose one of the two. For example, I am in good health. If I was weak, my father would let my younger brothers practice martial arts and ask a master to study literature for me. This is what my parents expected and I will keep it in mind."

Master Wang nodded: "Everything in the world is bustling for fame and fortune. To put it bluntly, it is a good thing to see clearly. Don't think it is vulgar to do it for fame and fortune. Who in the world does not love fame and fortune? Reading is for fame and fortune, let alone It is for those who have a right heart and conduct to seek fame and fortune.”

"Being an official, being corrupt and perverting the law, and being a businessman, is like reading a book into a dog's belly. You must remember that seeking fame and fortune is not a bad thing. Speaking like this will make you more upright. In the future, you will gain fame and fame in the world. Gao Gao Standing on top of the temple, he still stands upright and speaks loudly."

Master Wang's words silenced the discussion among the students who originally thought Yang Jiangchuan's words were so straightforward.

Master Wang looked at the others. After hearing this, the others also began to talk about their purpose of studying. It was indeed fame and fortune that came and went.

Finally, Master Wang looked at Yang Guang, his eyes full of meaning. How could he, who admired Yang Guang so much, not want to hear Yang Guang's true words.

"His Royal Highness the King of Jin, can I ask you, what do you think about studying?"

When Yuan Xiaoju heard this, he couldn't help but feel happy. This is a good question. This is a trap. There are so many common people who are seeking fame and fortune. If Yang Guang opens his mouth and says it is for fame and fortune, he, as a Jin king, will seek fame and fortune all over the world. The greatest fame and fortune.

I couldn't help but sigh, it would take these scholars to play word games, and I thought, could it be that this prince is also a member of the prince's party?

Yang Guang was helpless and could not escape the problem in the end.

He sighed and said, "Master Wang, do you want to hear the truth?"

"think!!"

"Well, saying it may make you feel a little empty, so I ask you and Mrs. Wang not to laugh."

Yang Guang said calmly.

"Reading should be done for the rise of China."
