First Minister of Ming Dynasty

First Minister Section 560

There are still some, after all, Zhang Ximeng's proposition is more practical than Confucius's entry into the world.

There are also more people enrolled in the school, and the scope of coverage can still be wider, but that's all.

Wanting to have a radical change is basically a dream.

This is also the reason why Sun Yan took the allocation of funds as the main content of his education reform.

The difference between people is really not that big.

Especially those who are also Han people, a farming nation, also pay attention to education.

Thousands of years of inheritance, the probability of a genius appearing is almost the same.

The only difference is the amount of educational resources enjoyed.

Of course, education is also a very miraculous thing. Generally speaking, it is in line with the ratio of input to output, but like Lao Zhu did to the prince before, arranging the best imperial officials and carefully teaching them may not necessarily teach anything good. something to come!

It is also true that the relatively even distribution of educational resources is valuable.

Absolute fairness, no one can do it.What's more, there is the saying of teaching students in accordance with their aptitude.

But in some remote places, a middle school must be set up!

A middle school teacher should always be a sensible person!

If you have any questions, you can answer them. Even if you can’t be responsive and omniscient, you can guide students appropriately, lead them on the right path, assist them, and tap their potential.

That's it.

If you can't even meet this most basic requirement, don't blame Thunder's Fury.

A very interesting thing, after a thorough investigation, Cai Ben's situation was indeed found out.

He favored the students, and he encouraged more exams to block the students of Xiahezhai... But when things got to this point, it didn't mean that he just took someone's money and followed someone's wishes to do this.

He did this purely out of his own prejudice and more messy considerations.

This thing is fun, what should I do with him?

Is it handled according to national law?

It seems that the current law of Ming Dynasty does not support it...Of course, you can write to Lao Zhu. I believe Lao Zhu is willing to drop the butcher knife and chop off Cai Ben's head, or make him a human leather pillow and hang it outside the school.

But when this matter came to Zhongshu Province, Sun Yan thought about it again and again, and asked Xu Da and the officials of the Ministry of Punishment for advice.

In the end, Sun Yan felt that it was better not to kill people, after all, doing so would make people panic.Although it is hateful, the decree can only guarantee the minimum.

A person who abides by the law everywhere may be a scum that deserves to be cut to pieces!

What should I do?

Sun Yan negotiated with the Ministry of Education and Culture, deprived Cai Ben of his teaching qualifications, and took away all his salary in the name of seriously damaging the teacher's morality.

In addition, he was sent to Liaodong and demoted to a Mengxue teacher. Not surprisingly, for the rest of his life, he could only watch Xiong Blind bark his teeth.

Furthermore, Sun Yan requested that the matter of this time be published and made known to the world.And promulgated new examination methods, requiring the Ministry of Education and Culture to be responsible, and the authority of each school was directly removed.

Then there is one more thing, which is to conduct training and assessment for all teachers, and resolutely eliminate the situation of being talented but not virtuous!

The orders came down one after another, and they fell on the teacher layer by layer.

Frankly speaking, let alone Da Ming, even going back to the Three Generations Reign, there is no such thing as targeting the teacher.

The laws are strict and there are quite a few restrictions.

There are even censor officials who will go to various places to investigate secretly. If they find that there is something that damages the teacher's morality, they will be punished more severely!

In fact, Zhang Ximeng talked about teachers' morality in Jimin School.

But the actual implementation is still to be done today.

With the help of Sun Yan, it can be realized smoothly.

Speaking of this matter, it was also due to Zhang Ximeng's high status.

Some things are just so ironic.

When Zhang Ximeng said it, many people naturally listened to it, but there were always some people who felt that Zhang Xianggong would not bully the small with the big, and his words were like the earnest warnings of his parents and teachers.

Obedient children listen naturally, and disobedient children are just like that.

But when it comes to Sun Yan, the situation is different.

He won't talk to you about this, he will really handle the case according to the law.

If you mess with him, you will be dispatched and your head will be lost.

The wind direction of the imperial court changed rapidly, and the students who were most excited were those Xiahe Village students, who had been delayed for a full month in Fudan Academy.

Others have already enrolled, they have not been able to enter.

Just being thrown outside the school like this, no progress, no advance, no retreat... For these young people who are just in their early teens, it is really a kind of torture.

Some people even secretly wiped their tears and yelled to go home. This school is too difficult to get into. Let's go back and not compete with them.

But fortunately Zhang Shuning was there, and he comforted the big guys, so he was thrown further away. Zhang Shuning led them, taught themselves to study, and went to bed early and late every day. Although it was not as hard as the previous few months, it was still very hard.

The students are happy, they are just afraid that they will not have the opportunity to enter the school.

Just like that, time passed.

Finally, one day, Fudan School sent a deputy head to tell them that they can officially enter the school, there is no additional test, they are just like other students!

At the moment when they heard the news, the [-] students who passed the exam, as well as those students who came with them, wept together, tears pouring down like rain.

All the grievances, cowardice, and fear all turned into tears and rushed out.

It's not easy for them, it's really difficult to go to school.

Coincidentally, when Zhang Shuning came back, as soon as he entered the yard, a few boys jumped up, grabbed Zhang Shuning, threw him high into the sky, caught him immediately, and threw him up again!

"Sir, we can go to school!"

"Sir, we won!"

After a brief hesitation, Zhang Shuning also showed a gratified smile.

After a while, he landed on the ground smoothly. Looking at the fiery eyes, the flame in Zhang Shuning's heart was also burning, and his face flushed with excitement.

"Choose it, the best restaurant, the best dishes, whatever you want to eat, just tell me, I'll treat you!"

The boys were slightly taken aback when they heard this.

"Sir, do you have money? Let's just find a noodle restaurant and have some hot noodle soup." Some people feel sorry for Zhang Shuning.

Zhang Shuning really thought about it, is he rich?

There should be, after all, he has had a salary of a hundred households since he was born, but this money is managed by his mother, and he still has a majority of the shares of Huaxia Bookstore, but he has not asked about the operation for a long time, and he does not know Have no money!

But it doesn't matter, he still has a set of textbooks in his hand!

It is to teach Xiahezhai students the test-taking cheats!

"Let's go! Find a bookstore with me first and sell our books! Then you can eat whatever you want!" Zhang Shuning turned and went into the room, waiting for him to come out, holding a set of manuscripts in his arms.A group of smiling young students surrounded them. They were so aggressive that they were even more majestic than Lan Yu who had won the battle. After all, they did win!

Chapter 778 Old Zhu lost again

In the largest restaurant in Qufu City, knives and spoons are ringing, and several chefs are busy.Today everyone is full of energy and working hard.

While talking, an old master with a gray beard walked in with a smile.

This is the restaurant's earliest and most powerful chef.It is said that this person was born in the Confucian family and served Yan Shenggong. It was because of his craftsmanship that the restaurant's reputation was created. People from all over the world gave a thumbs up and praised him.

It's just that in the past few years, as I got older, I seldom cook by myself. No one expected that he would come.

"Old man, just let us come, you are always pointing at the side, watching how we are doing!"

The master chef didn't say anything, just took the frying spoon silently.

Everyone knows that this is the old man who is going to do something.

"Master, this is the menu they ordered."

The old man didn't even look at it, but said: "You guys made that one, I came here to deliver a special dish... the best!"

The disciples were stunned for a moment, and then their eyes widened. Our old man has a lot of specialty dishes, such as roasted sea cucumbers and steamed large intestines.

The idlers can't eat it at all. It's been almost three years, and I haven't seen the old man cook in person. At most, the apprentice does it for him.

Today is uncharacteristically, everyone can't help but be curious.

"Old man, what good thing happened to you? Don't let your son marry a wife?"

The old man stared at him, "What are you talking about! Our grandsons are running all over the place!"

The old man sighed slightly, and then smiled and said: "You don't understand! In the past, I thought that wealth and destiny are all the meaning of God. The sage Kong, passed down from generation to generation, is more prestigious than the emperor... As a result, you also know, Yan The lineage of the Shenggong has been abolished. What a majesty! What courage! The emperors in the past are not as good as our Majesty! The difference is too far!"

The old man continued: "When I just came out of the Confucian Mansion, I cried a lot. I felt that I had lost my dignity and had no way of living. Later, thanks to my boss's appreciation of my craftsmanship, this restaurant was established. To be honest , I earn more than before, life is better than before, everyone respects me, and I don’t need to bow my head and be a slave to others.”

"But, in the final analysis, the rich and the poor are different, the rich and the poor are different... I didn't think about it that much, but a few days ago, my grandson yelled that he would go to school in the future and take the Fudan School. You said Said, isn't this going to change the family? His grandfather is a cook, so he still wants to go to school and become an official and become a prime minister?"

While the old man was talking, he was cooking in a leisurely manner. The process after process was smooth and smooth, and his skills were indeed extraordinary.

Several apprentices couldn't help laughing and said: "Grandpa, don't tell me, your grandson may really succeed if he has this ambition! Who said that ordinary people can't enter a good school? If we pass the exam, can we be kicked out?"

"Yes! That's right!"

The old master laughed loudly, "That's right, the young talents in Xiahe Village have given us an example. I am lucky to be an old man! This is the best dish, and I will give it to them! Wait for a few years, I will give it to you." If my grandson can also pass the exam, I will set up a water table and invite you to drink to your heart's content!"

In the back kitchen, there was laughter... Looking at the restaurant, dozens of students, including Zhang Shuning, occupied a total of seven tables.

They just sat down, not long after, the owner of the restaurant came over on his own initiative and brought up two altars of fine wine.

"We all know it, nothing else, it's my little sympathy, you all are like this! It's amazing!" The host extended his thumb.

"Eat slowly, if you have any orders, just tell me."

After the boss finished speaking, he turned and retreated to the stairway.

This is the one who knows how to do things. He stands neither far nor close, so as not to delay the conversation of the big guys, he looks up, and he can still see.

After Zhang Shuning thanked his host, he immediately said, "Do you want to drink some wine?"

This group of youngsters looked at each other, looking eager to try, more than half of them had never been drunk, and even if there was, it was stealing the dirty wine from the old man at home. They had never enjoyed this kind of fine wine.

"Sir, have you had a drink?"

Zhang Shuning nodded, "I used to drink it occasionally, and I learned it from a friend."

Needless to say, the bad friend who taught Zhang Shuning to drink is Zhu Di. He used to steal Zhu Yuanzhang's wine, went to Zhang's mansion, and encouraged Zhang Shuning to drink with him.

But Zhu Di soon discovered that the so-called royal wine in the palace was far inferior to the collections in Zhu Ying's mansion... Later he heard that the wine in Zhu Ying's mansion was all Zhang Ximeng didn't like, and the real good things were actually good. It's in the Zhang residence.

It's embarrassing now!

When Zhang Shuning was very early, he saw those good things that others might not have seen in his life, such as fine wine, food, all kinds of exquisite utensils, books, calligraphy and paintings... But speaking of it, that's what happened, even if it was Wang Xizhi's writing, Yan Liben His paintings are indeed remarkable and priceless, but compared with the works of Emperor Hongwu practicing calligraphy for the first time, and Zhang Xianggong's handwritten memorial to Yue Zhongwugong, they seem to be a little thinner, and they cannot be regarded as real treasures.

In a word, it's numb!

Zhang Shuning personally poured a bowl of wine for everyone, and at this time the dishes had already been served, including an extra gift of the top dish!

"You little talents, this is a famous dish from our restaurant cooked by our master Luan himself. You can enjoy it slowly."

Zhang Shuning pondered for a while, he knew very well that this was the shopkeeper's wish, and it was really unnecessary to refuse.

But he had something else to say.

"Among you, there are 18 people who have passed the exam and entered Fudan School. This is your success. Not only you, but also the poor children all over the world. They are all inspired, have hope in their hearts, and feel that Reading is a way out. Even this restaurant has sent their hearts, you can be happy, you can cheer, you can be proud!"

"But... just for this day, don't want more. You still have a long way to go... You have to go to school, learn, increase your skills, and make long-term plans for your life. I don't want to tell you Why do you have to be an official in the court, how big an official you are, and how prominent you are. I just hope that no matter what time you come, your spine will be straight. Have no shame in your heart. Most importantly, never put yourself in a superior position. You don’t deserve it! No one deserves it!”

"Come on, let's drink!"

Zhang Shuning brought these students together to celebrate the victory.The students also engraved the teacher's words in their hearts.

Soon their achievements spread throughout the Ming Dynasty.

Xiahezhai Middle School has also become a world-renowned existence.

There are many people who come here admiringly, but after actually seeing it, it is embarrassing.

This is an ordinary school, a dilapidated and low wooden house, built right by the sea.A small piece of flat land is where the students practice.

If there is anything worthy of praise, it is probably away from the hustle and bustle.

But when people see the students' schedules and how they study, they will be deeply shocked.
