Prodigal Son of the Ming Dynasty

  Chapter 251 is different

  Zhu Houzhao obviously didn't know that the establishment of the imperial examination system, that is, the son of a **** he scolded, was inseparable from his ancestors.

  Seeing Zhu Houzhao's bewildered expression, other scholars immediately began to ignore him.

  How do you look, like a bluffing little liar.

  Zhu Houzhao is actually happy, just ignore it, I don’t care about you guys? Treating the Five Classics, hum, don’t let me be the emperor, when I ascend the throne in the future, the first thing I will do is let you scholars study the Ninety-Nine Classics, and it will be too late to teach you to cry!

  In fact, Zhu Houzhao has come here to attend several evening classes, all of which start in the evening, sometimes taught by Wang Shouren, sometimes by Tang Yin, and sometimes by Xu Jing.

Wang Shouren's class is the most interesting, because as soon as this Mrs. Wang arrives, there will be a lot of quarrels here. Well, the guys who flattered themselves that they were lackeys of the Fang family would also argue with them on behalf of Mrs. Wang.

  Zhu Hou looked at them all like fighting roosters, fascinated, and wished to cheer for them. After all, he is a person who fears the world will not be chaotic.

  Tang Yin's class made people drowsy. He talked about poetry, painting, and analyzed some exquisite rhetoric from ancient times and modern times. What he said were all beautiful things, but it made people feel boring.

  Xu Jing lectured on his astronomy and geography, but Xu Jing was rather pitiful. As soon as he took the stage, the scholars had already left. There was only a group of schoolchildren sitting there obediently, unable to leave.

  But as long as it is Xu Jing's class, Zhu Houzhao always sits behind happily every time. On the contrary, he is very interested in this matter of astronomy and geography, and listens very seriously.

Xu Jing is actually a very interesting person, and the Xu family has sorted out a large number of books from the Southern Song Dynasty, and most of them are customs, astronomy and geography. Heart, so there are a lot of anecdotes when you make it with your own hands.

  For example, in the Southern Song Dynasty, the eating habits of foreign merchants in Quanzhou. For example, in the Song Dynasty, a large number of seagoing ships went to sea. What customs did the countries pass along the way?

  Obviously Zhu Houzhao also knew that the road to Shu was difficult, but what was the difficulty was just an ignorant concept, so Xu Jing described many details through the notes of his predecessors.

Zhu Houzhao found that Mr. Xu's lectures were really interesting. Sometimes, he would suddenly realize that this is the case. No wonder seeing the ancients fighting in a certain place, a few hundred people in the district could stop tens of thousands of troops. related to the terrain. If Xu Jing didn't explain the terrible terrain in detail, Zhu Houzhao had only summed up a few words about the steepness of the mountain from the military book so far, and then passed it in one stroke, but now he has many preliminary concepts in his mind.

  He even listened to Xu Jing's class, and finally understood why he lost the bet with Lao Fang!

  Milu's hiding place, he thought it was in Longquan village, but Lao Fang killed him in Shijian village, and he just realized now that it has something to do with the terrain, the terrain shown in the map is not comprehensive enough after all.

  Of course, Zhu Houzhao came here so diligently because he believed in Fang Jifan's evil, and believed that he could completely change his father's impression of him.

  But... it seems that nothing has changed.

   But it doesn't matter, you have to trust Lao Fang, if this guy fools me, I will grab his disciples and beat him up.

   At this moment, someone said: "Mr. Wang is here..."

   With Wang Shouren as the leader, Tang Yin and Xu Jing also arrived.

  Looking at the sun, the teacher is probably still sleeping, and they dare not disturb the teacher.

  As for the three of Ouyang Zhi, they were too honest, they were criticized all over the Imperial Academy, and even Mu Xiu was called to sort out the imperial edicts.

  As soon as they appeared, many scholars surrounded them.

  Wang Shouren nodded to them one by one.

  Scholars are like this, even if they are people who come to make trouble, when they first meet, they still have to greet each other, bow to each other, and say politely.

  Liu Jian watched from afar with a thoughtful expression on his face...

  A small Hanlin editor is so sought after... This reminds him of Wu Shizhong from yesterday!

  Thinking of Wu Shizhong, he couldn't help but lower his eyebrows. He really wanted to see what kind of bewilderment this Wang Shouren could instill in people.

  As for His Royal Highness...

  As soon as he saw His Highness the Crown Prince approaching happily, Liu Jian couldn't help feeling worried. He said to Liu Jie beside him, "Your Highness the Crown Prince...doesn't seem to be learning serious things."

  Liu Jie remained silent for a long time before he asked, "Why did father say that?"

Liu Jian sighed and said: "If His Royal Highness reads the four books, he will feel drowsy; if he studies the classics of sages, he will look unhappy; if you let him study hard, he will appear distressed, but you see He is now smiling, if he is serious about learning, would he be so excited?"

   "..." Liu Jie didn't know how to answer, so he said, "Father, do you want to go up and have a look?"

  Liu Jian shook his head and said, "It's right here."

  This place is next to a tea house, so there are a few tea tables in front of the door for leisurely people to sit and drink tea. After all, not everyone likes to drink tea in a noisy shop.

   Asking someone to serve tea, Liu Jian took a sip.

   Liu Jie on the side said: "I heard that the specialty here is dried potato, would you like to try it, father?"

  Liu Jian couldn't help showing a smile, and said: "I don't know why, but my father is interested in anything that is stained with potatoes. Go and ask the buddy to get it."

   On the other side, everyone thought that as soon as Wang Shouren arrived, he would start studying in school.

  Unexpectedly, Wang Shouren said, "We have a rest today, since we don't have to go to night classes, we might as well take advantage of these few days to rest, and let's take a few different classes."

  The readers fell silent.

  Those scholars who came to mess things up were even more depressed.

   After all, he has been scratching his head, and even prepared to ridicule Fang Xue's principles, but what's going on now, why don't you go to the school to debate?

   As he spoke, Wang Shouren winked at Xu Jing who was on the side.

  Xu Jing is very resentful, having such a junior brother makes his status plummet all of a sudden! In particular, it makes people grit their teeth. My mentor looks down on me and doesn't let me teach knowledge. I am a second-class Jinshi anyway, but let me teach astronomy and geography. After all, astronomy and geography are just miscellaneous studies. I am not knowledgeable enough.

   There is no way, the teacher's order must not be violated!

  As for this junior...

  Xu Jing smiled at Wang Shouren. He slept in the same room as Junior Brother Wang. This Junior Brother Wang has a weird temper and is good at martial arts.

  Xu Jing then went to give orders, and then distributed a **** to every scholar.

  Zhu Houzhao held a **** in his hand, as if holding a sword, and was very excited.

At this time, Wang Shouren said loudly: "Those who came to the night class a few days ago, if you want to know it, I often say, empathy, if there is no empathy, then no matter how simple the way is, how can you know how to do it?" Unity is nothing more than a departure from the original intention of reading. The sage seeks benevolent government, and benevolent government is conscience, but conscience alone is useless, so you follow me."

  So Wang Shouren walked ahead, and not long after, he brought a group of excited scholars to a barren field.

  I saw here that a group of farmers were cultivating land. They held up hoes and worked hard to turn the land. Although the weather is already cold, the farmers are already sweating profusely.

  Wang Shouren didn't say anything, took the lead with the hoe, and started digging the land silently with the farmers.

   "What... what does this mean? We are here to study, why do we do such things?" Many people hesitated.

  The person who came to find fault complained even more.

  But Wang Shouren didn't care about their gossip, but just started to reclaim the wasteland silently by himself. He didn't rush, obviously he had experience in this reclaiming, and he seemed very familiar with it.

  A scholar finally stepped into the field and said, "Since the master reads, the students should try it too."

  Someone took the lead, and then many people joined in one after another.

  Although Wang Shouren didn't understand Wang Shouren's intention, Zhu Hou looked interesting and soon joined in.

  He wanted to show off his usual bow and horse kung fu, so he screamed and smashed the **** into the ground hard. Suddenly... his arms went numb, and his brain buzzed.

   Powerful, great, the knowledge of land reclamation is actually more than bow horse.

  So he learned to be good, and began to draw back his strength, took a deep breath, and tried to master the rhythm slowly.

   Other scholars are not so comfortable. Many of them can’t distinguish the five grains, they don’t work hard, and even find it hard to carry a hoe.

   But the role of example is infinite after all.

  Wang Shouren silently set an example, and even those who came to find fault joined the farming.

  After a stick of incense, many people were exhausted and out of breath. At this time, Wang Shouren straightened his waist and said, "The sun is about to rise, go get the bamboo hat, don't burn people."

  The farmers in the distance also looked at these scholars with strange postures curiously, and they were amused.

Not only the bamboo hats were sent, but also a sweat towel for each person, which was very unremarkable. These scholars scrambled to put it on their necks. It was not because of the hot weather, but because the plowing continued, and the sweat fell from their foreheads. If you don't rub it every now and then, you will feel uncomfortable all over.

  Zhu Houzhao's physical strength is good, but soon, he also began to be out of breath.

   At this time, Liu Jian had gradually walked to a distance, he did not get too close, watching a group of scholars sweating profusely in the field, he couldn't help... stunned.

  They... this... is... plowing?

   "Father...Father..." Liu Jie had already caught up.

  He was about to say something.

  But seeing that his father didn't say a word, he looked incredulous.
