Spring and Autumn I Am King

Pei Zezhi's Pei, there are Po and lotus. ——"Chen Feng. Zepi"

Although Yecheng is not the southern state of Chen, the climate in the north was still warm at this time, and lotus flowers could grow. After Zixia and the others passed the main entrance of the academy, they saw a small half-moon lake surrounded by a stone railing by the Zhangshui River. The lotus leaves covered half of the lake. The waves rise and fall.

This is Gongshuban and other craftsmen to divert the water from the Zhanghe River. They built a "Panchi" at the main gate of the Linzhang Academy, which is the meaning of "Sile Panshui, thinly harvest Qiqin" in the poem. The circular Pan Pond can only be built by the learning of the princes, but the Linzhang Academy is nominally the public learning of the Jin state, so no one can say that it is inappropriate to dig this pool.

After passing the Panchi, and then ascending a short hill, it is the main body of the school.

Under the bright light of the morning sun, there is a green meadow next to a spacious stone avenue. A few peach trees are planted at a distance on the meadow. The peach trees are full of branches, and they are skillfully spread among the hills. pole.

The slate under his feet was unfinished, and the unevenness on the top was just enough to prevent slipping. Zixia looked at the black and white school palace building above the grassy **** that was not tall but stretched for an unknown number of rooms. White walls and blue tiles, roof ridges and beams are painted with grass and moiré patterns, and the overall style is clear and generous.

"It really deserves to be the bridge of Kaidi Kangzhuang, and the high-level mansion respects it..." The young and mature Zixia also admired this scene sincerely.

Walking to the front of the mountain gate, the plaque on the front of the gate "Linzhang Academy" is handwritten by Zhao Shangqing. Fortunately, Zhao Wuxi knows that the characters are ugly.

After entering the school, the number of people gradually increased, and many scholars dressed in common clothes walked around it. Some people were discussing something together in groups of three or five, and some people were leaning against the bar and reciting poems and books under the eaves. There are also people sitting in the room and burying their heads in their studies... When the "Mr." in the school wearing long-sleeved dark clothes passes by, the students will consciously step aside and bow to say hello.

Zhao Shangqing took a very polite attitude towards the gentlemen hired by the Academy, and named many famous scholars as "doctors", and "received the honor of doctors", that is, they had corresponding titles and salaries, and allowed them to "discuss without treatment". , "If you don't take office, you should talk about state affairs", such as Zhou Zhichang Hong, Wei Zhijun Boyu, Jin Shi Zhao, etc., all of them are representatives, and they are also the banners of the Academy to recruit scholars.

Zixia did not join the students. His eyes were completely attracted by the largest building in the Academy.

...

The library, which was built at a huge cost, is tall and divided into three floors. Each floor has twelve pavilions. The surrounding halls and pavilions are facing each other. The trees are shady, the environment is elegant, and the atmosphere is full. It is called "Shiqu Pavilion".

The reason why it is called Shiqu Pavilion is because of its architectural features. Skilled craftsmen built a canal with ground stones around the pavilion. After that, Zhao Qing used the silk and silk that should have been used to build the palace to collect the "Spring and Autumn" of various countries, as well as the silk books, bamboo slips, and oracle bones collected by various private individuals, and collected them in Shiqu Pavilion, finally making this place a collection of books. The Holy Land of Knowledge of Ten Thousand Volumes!

In this era when knowledge has not yet completely moved down, historical books and classics are the carriers of knowledge. Whoever masters the books has the right to speak in the academic world, and whoever can become the center of attracting young scholars.

In the past six months, it is the Shiqu Pavilion that has attracted scholars from all over the world to come here. They only want to enter the pavilion for a view. However, although the Linzhang Academy does not refuse visitors, the Shiqu Pavilion has qualification restrictions: only the officials of the Zhao family, or those who have been registered in the Academy and have studied for more than half a year, can enter the Vipassana books!

This restriction is obvious. Shiqu Pavilion and Linzhang Academy were originally opened by Zhao Wuxi in order to attract talents. If you want to gain knowledge, you must first serve Zhao's family, or you can honestly register at the Academy, and you will get through it. Just half a year.

Unfortunately, Zi Xia happened to belong to the former. As a descendant of the "Fortune Teller" who served the Zhao family from generation to generation, and even a letter of introduction from the elders of the family, he was fully qualified to enter the pavilion.

Of course, it is only possible to visit the first floor, the second floor and the third floor of the three-story building, and higher qualifications are required to go up.

Taking off his shoes and wearing only his clothes, Zi Xia and the boys who came to visit the school followed the clerk who guarded the Shiqu Pavilion.

What catches the eye is a bright light. The Shiqu Pavilion is very well-lit. Although it has only been built a few months, it gives people a sense of vicissitudes and oppression brought about by time. Go over the threshold.

As soon as I stepped inside, I smelled a breath: the breath of paper and ink, the breath of knowledge.

For a time, they seemed to be in the ocean of knowledge, not only Zi Xia was stunned, but those Meng Tong were even more stunned.

The little official who led them in explained with a smile: "The more precious books are basically placed on the second and third floors. If you want to go up, you need the permission of a few 'Mr. Linzhang'. There are many extremely precious books. If you want to watch it, you even have to get your permission!"

Zixia nodded, regardless of whether this kind of regulation was necessary or not, but the importance of knowledge alone made him feel very comfortable...

But there is no need to go up to the second or third floor. Just looking at the first floor, Zixia's heart gradually became excited.

There are too many books here!

In the wide space, there are not many bookshelves neatly arranged. The bookshelves are arranged according to subjects and years. All the books Zixia can think of are displayed on them, nestled in one place at different heights. "Poetry", "Book", "Law", "Music", "Spring and Autumn", there are everything, there are thousands, tens of thousands of them. Just like countless past kings and sages for countless years, they are watching him silently.

And it is worth noting that the first floor of this Shiqu Pavilion is all paper books!

Paper, this is undoubtedly Zhao's greatest honor to the scholars in the world. In Lu, with the new method developed by the public transport class, paper gradually changed from a luxury item to a daily necessities, and under the inclination of the policy, it became a fast and violent one. Speed ​​has replaced silk books, and it has also forced bamboo slips into a dead end. The craftsmen who make bamboo slips have changed their professions to do the work of logging and retting bamboo.

Now this trend has blown into Jin and Linzhang. Originally in Wen County, there were already scribes who specially copied the contents of bamboo slips onto paper. However, in Shiqu Pavilion, what is surprising is that rolls of books are constantly being moved out from the outside, with the pungent smell of ink on them, and the words on them are very old-fashioned, not like they are written, but a mold drawn in...

"It's impossible to re-record so many bamboo slips and silk books by copying books alone. Could it be that Shiqu Pavilion has some clever ways to produce books?"

Zixia has doubts in her heart, but this should belong to Zhao's and Shiqu Pavilion's inhumane secret, at least it hasn't been made public yet. Anyway, after the ingenious Lu Ban, Jinlu has more and more new things. In the army, Zhao has a powerful engineering tool that can send hundreds of pounds of stone. In the private sector, there are umbrellas, kites, and water-driven tools Stone mills and waterwheels, powered by water, do not run on their own without humans and animals, and their efficiency is ten times higher than in the past...

So even if Lu Ban created some new equipment that can produce thousands of volumes of books per day, Zixia would not be surprised, but would be delighted by it, feeling that he was born in a good era. Because he has heard the past of his father's generation, Guangguang learns a field of divination, and wants to find a bamboo book to study, but it is difficult to go to the sky, so most of it is taught by the family, and he can receive more knowledge than his father's from a weak age Thanks to Zhao Qing and Lu Ban for inventing paper.

He also heard that Zhao Shangqing also named Lu Ban a "Zhongdafu". As the youngest "Mr. Linzhang" in the academy, he also brought a group of workers to the academy. He held classes three times a month from time to time. Hundreds of craftsmanship skills such as gold, torque, construction, and ditches. Their discipline is called "Engineering Examination", and the scholars inside the school are referred to as "Engineering". Because Lu Ban and other workers were promoted and respected one by one from the bottom by Zhao Wuxi, they are very supportive of Zhao's regime and often self-confidence. He is called "the loyal dog of Shangqing", so he has another nickname, called "engineering dog"...

Letting the low-status Baigong enter the academy, he was juxtaposed with the erudite and elegant gentleman, and it also caused criticism from some scholars who thought highly of themselves, but Zhao Wuxi's remarks made them shudder.

"Linzhang Academy is not for people to only cultivate morality, to put in empty words, it is better to see actions, but everything is related to the reality of the world. The scholars of the Academy cultivate the knowledge that is applied to the world, and these Knowledge, as long as it is beneficial to the country and the people, there is no distinction between high and low! In the future, not only will hundreds of labor unions settle in the Academy, and promote the Daitian method for me in Lu, so that millions of people in Jin and Lu can have enough to eat. The farm official Fan Chi will also be hired as Mr. Linzhang, and let the old farmers and old gardens of Lu country be Linzhang scholars, and start the agricultural department! Those of you who claim to be gentlemen, don’t underestimate Baigong and old farmers, they cultivate Dao is also the way of Shennong and Dayu!"

Dao is not vain, learning is valuable and effective. The spirit of the school, which is in a difficult time, and the "gentleman Confucian" school of Confucian disciples who talk about morality, form a clear boundary, and also make Zixia be moved.

In history~www.readwn.com~ Zi Xia, who was a backward student of Confucius, did not abide by the way of Confucius like Yan Hui and Zeng Shen did. He was an original and therefore heretical thinker. The issue he is concerned about is not "self-restraint and restoration of ritual", but the current politics that keeps pace with the times!

On this historical line, Zhao Wuxi's sentence "to be used by the world" made him enlightened, so Zixia did not go south to worship Confucius, but came to the Linzhang Academy...

Now, after strolling around in Shiqu Pavilion, he made up his mind. After returning, he told the elders of the Ming family to temporarily stop doing divination for Zhao, and instead came to the school to practice for a few years. He feels that here, he can meet many people who are stronger than himself, and his character can learn more things by interacting with people who are stronger than himself. This is the premise of continuous improvement...

Walking out of Shiqu Pavilion in this mood, the sky outside the pavilion seemed to be a little brighter. Zixia was about to visit other parts of the Academy to learn about the main subjects in the Academy, but was attracted by a debate. force……

A voice said loudly: "Everyone knows that Xu Ying is actually Zhao Qing's sister Ji Ying, and Zhao's willingness to marry her sister at the expense of the world is indecent!"
