A great man of the Northern Song Dynasty

Chapter 692: More friends than enemies

"Mangshan Academy?"

Yang Yan was excited when he heard the word Mang Shan, and so were others.

"Waiting for the imperial edict, will we be considered part of the Mang Mountain lineage from now on?"

The man in front of him, who was rumored to be a descendant of Mangshan lineage, was living a cheating life from Xiongzhou to Bianliang, and the biggest honor guard behind him was his miscellaneous studies.

The thirteen students all looked at him with admiration, and a sense of honor arose spontaneously.

Shen An said: "Yes, from now on you will be of the Mangshan lineage."

Shen An had never accepted a disciple in the name of the Mangshan lineage during the Song Dynasty, but now he was making an exception.

The students were as excited as if they had been beaten to blood. Shen An struck while the iron was hot and said: "The academy must have a territory. You are not young anymore, and you have to go through the things you should bear. In this way, when a certain person goes to the palace for Please ask the officials for instructions regarding the academy, and you can go find a place later..."

Young people like to take responsibility and feel that they can do anything, so Yang Yan accepted the order without hesitation.

"Tai Zhao, how big of a place do you want? Can it be done here?"

He pointed at the Shen family.

The Shen family is not small and can accommodate dozens of people.

Shen An said calmly: "It's not big enough. Let's arrange the place according to 500 people in advance."

"Five hundred people?"

The students became excited.

When they left Taixue, they felt the wind rustling and Yi Shuihan felt tragic. They felt that for a long time, everyone would be fighting alone. But I didn't expect Shen An to have such a big appetite.

"Five hundred people is just the beginning, go ahead."

Shen An never felt that Taixue was his ultimate goal, where he would be restricted and his will would not be fully reflected, and he would be somewhat constrained.

Leaving Taixue is not the end of the world. The method he left behind has become popular all over the world. Those people can no longer mythologize Confucianism. Confucianism has truly become a tool rather than something close to a religion.

And the screening method he left behind will ensure the success rate of Taixue. With this success rate, no matter how good the people who come after him are, they can only succumb to him.

Shen An couldn't help but want to laugh when he thought of this.

This visit went smoothly, and Shen An was brought in immediately.

Zhao Shu was waiting for him curiously, and Zhao Xu was also there.

"Why did you leave Taixue?"

"Tai Xue... is a constraint."

Shen An said calmly: "In Taixue, I gave them the method of studying the sea, so half of the people in the world scolded me for being deviant and apostate, insulting the gentlemen, and turning Confucianism into something to be tested in the imperial examination, instead of studying hard. The profound knowledge of pondering..."

"Where's the other half?"

Zhao Shu felt that this young man was very interesting and fearless. There was a man who could stand up to the world's literati.

"Other people will thank me, because it is the method of Ti Hai that allows them to find a shortcut to study. The two sides will conflict and lead to contradictions. This is already obvious in Taixue. This is also the reason why I withdrew. The reason for studying too much."

Zhao Shu sighed, "Why? After all, many people in Taixue support you."

"Yes." Shen An said firmly: "But miscellaneous studies require undivided attention and unfettered thinking..."

Zhao Xu said: "Dad, you need to concentrate on miscellaneous studies."

Zhao Xu said: "You have been exposed to it, what do you think of miscellaneous studies?"

When he asked this question in front of Shen An, he actually had a stance.

Zhao Xu said: "Miscellaneous knowledge is practical."

Four words are enough.

"practical."

Zhao Shu looked at Shen An and said, "Xue Xue has no strategy for governing the country?"

"No!"

Shen An answered seriously, feeling gradually happy in his heart.

Zhao Shu's meaning is very simple. You can practice miscellaneous knowledge in the world, but you can't have the idea of ​​​​interfering with government affairs.

Shen An's answer was decisive, Zhao Shu nodded and said: "In that case, you can go on your own."

Shen An said: "The official family, I want to build an academy in the city. You see..."

Zhao Shu waved his hand, and Shen An almost jumped up with joy. The joy when he left was overflowing.

Zhao Shu waited for him to leave and said, "He built the academy in the city and it cost a lot of money to buy the place. Do you know why?"

This is a test.

Zhao Xu said: "Building in the city means not hiding anything, being open and selfless."

Zhao Shu nodded and said: "I was thinking that those people were expecting Shen An to fight back, but he left the Imperial Academy and started over again. I'm afraid no one could have imagined this, right?"

Zhao Xu smiled and said, "I didn't even think of having children."

"This is violent!"

Zhao Shu sighed: "Young people have bad tempers, but that's okay. From now on... if the academy can teach good students, they can also appoint officials as appropriate. Do you understand the truth behind this?"

Zhao Xu asked: "Dad, during the Qingli New Deal, there were many opponents, but those who supported it were in twos and threes. Think about it, Shen An is a person who refuses to follow the rules, and the students he taught may not be good. If we want to innovate again, these students... and students from Taixue will be the strongest supporters of the New Deal."

It was a bit risky for him to say these words, but Zhao Shu said: "You have grown up, okay."

Zhao Shu did not express his position on the New Deal, which is a positive signal.

Shen An was stopped when he was about to leave the palace and was taken to the political hall. It was Han Qi who received him.

Han Qi looked more solemn today, "Xue Xue has graduated from Taixue, what are you going to do?"

This guy actually cares about this?

Shen An said: "Open an academy."

Han Qi raised his head and said for a long time: "That's fine, but it costs a lot to open the academy. I have three hundred coins here, take it!"

Well!

Shen An was a little confused, thinking what did Han Qi mean? You actually stand on my side, this is unscientific!

After leaving the check-in room, Shen An still felt a little dizzy.

Three hundred dollars is not much for Shen An, but the meaning of this money is exciting.

Is Lao Han still brooding over the failure of the Qingli New Deal?

When Shen An returned home, Zhuang Laoshi had been waiting for a long time. He asked with a confused look on his face: "Lang Jun, have you graduated from Taixue?"

"right."

Shen An was so hot that he shouted when he came in: "Go get some ice water!"

At this time, if you drink a glass of ice water, it will freeze all the way from your mouth to your stomach. It feels so good.

Zhuang Laoshi actually didn't go, but called someone else.

Huh! This old man used to like to compete for performance. What happened today?

Shen An asked suspiciously: "Do you want to resign?"

The servants of the Shen family are all hired. Both parties bind each other according to the terms of the contract. After the term is over, if both parties are satisfied with each other, they will sign another contract.

There is actually no difference between this and the employment system of later generations. The only difference is probably that there are no five insurances and one housing fund.

Zhuang Laoshi hurriedly denied: "It's nothing, Mr. Lang, I just...want to ask, after leaving Taixue, will our family be dormant for a while?"

Dormant for a while is a euphemism. According to Shen An's understanding, Zhuang Laoshi wanted to ask if the Shen family was going to be in trouble.

"The villain will never quit his job. Now that he has come to the Shen family, unless Mr. Lang wants to drive the villain away, the villain will continue to work..."

Zhuang Laoshi said seriously: "The villain is just thinking that Mr. Wang is a good man and has done so many good things for the country and the people, but why are there still people who want to make things difficult for you? I also know some people. If necessary, I will help you." When they are called, they will make a fuss, no ambiguity."

Shen An looked at him calmly and suddenly patted his shoulder, "You are interested. As for hibernation, our family does not need to hibernate. We can do whatever we want, no taboos."

Wherever the Shen family needs to hibernate, Shen An is eager for someone to knock on the door, just in time to let Chen Luo, who has been enjoying himself since the wedding, stretch his muscles.

The stability of the family is the greatest support. Shen An was in a happy mood. When the ice water was delivered, he drank it in a few sips and grinned at the cold.

Zhuang Laoshi felt that Shen An's words were meant to comfort him, and he frowned a little, thinking about how to break the situation.

Bang bang bang!

The door was suddenly banged hard. Zhuang Laoshi shivered and shouted: "Here comes someone!"

Wen Xiaozhong came out, and so did Chen Luo and Yao Lian.

Chen Luo was newly married and looked good. He said with a smile: "Some people in the neighborhood said that Lang Jun was kicked out of the Imperial Academy and lost his only real job. From now on, he will be an empty shelf... Now someone is really looking for him. Trouble."

Wen Xiaozhong was ready. He walked over and slowly opened the door. With a move of his right hand, a short blade dropped down.

There was a big man outside the door. He refused to come in when the door was opened. Instead, he shouted: "My husband-in-law said that it is a good thing for Shen An to open an academy, but the academy costs a lot of money. It is not easy for my husband-in-law to think about Shen An, so he started from home." I rummaged around in the corner of the warehouse and swept out three hundred pieces to use in Shen An's academy."

Wen Xiaozhong turned around and looked at Zhuang Laoshi, wondering who this husband was.

There was a carriage outside. The big man carried two bags at a time and finished transporting them in a few moves. Neighbors looked on to see if anything was going on, and couldn't help but praise: "What a great effort."

"May I ask who your husband is?" Zhuang Laoshi asked cautiously, pointing inside and signaling Chen Luo to report to Shen An.

The big man's voice was loud. He raised his head and said, "My Mr. Han."

"Xianggong Han?"

Zhuang Laoshi looked at those bags and suddenly felt that they were not filled with money, but poison.

Didn't Han Qi have a grudge against Lang Jun? Why did he suddenly change his attitude?

Chen Luo came back at this time, and he said with a smile: "My husband said thank you to Prime Minister Han. When the academy opens, Prime Minister Han will be regarded as a benefactor."

The big man smiled and said, "That's good. I'll take my leave."

He drove the carriage away, and the neighbors outside murmured: "Didn't they say that Shen An lost his official position before? But now Han Qi has sent people to deliver money, and they are talking about the academy. It can be seen that Shen An is still in the heart of the emperor. !”

This is how people are, once you achieve success, many people will look up to you. But when you fall from a great height, these people burst out with schadenfreude and elation from the bottom of their hearts.

Naturally, the neighbors were gloating about the misfortune, but as soon as the idea came to mind, Han Qi sent money.

"Then Han Qi is said to be very stingy."

"He is the son of a maid, and he earns his own money, so naturally he is stingy."

"Doesn't that mean the Shen family is still proud?"

"Just proud."

"Hey, here comes the carriage again."

A carriage came slowly, with a servant riding a horse beside it.

"I've seen the imperial edict."

Wang Chongnian laughed so hard that Shen An's teeth itched and wanted to punch someone. UU Reading www.uukanshu.net He held up his hands and said, "The king is studying and can't leave the palace today, so he asked someone to send some money, saying it was to contribute to the new academy."

King?

The neighbors were dumbfounded.

"This king is still on good terms with Shen An, why is he dormant? The Shen family is doing well!"

"This is the prince. If he supports Shen An as an official in the future, even if Shen An is temporarily in decline, he will still get up again in the future."

"The carriage is here again..."

A carriage came slowly, and a big man accompanying it shouted: "Mr. Shen, the prince is here. He wants some good wine!"

Zhao Yunrang, who had been dormant for a long time, came and told the people of Bianliang in the most domineering manner: I support this boy Shen An!

Shen An was smiling, but there was warmth in his eyes.

I have more friends than opponents!
