Chapter 216 The School-Running Policy Has Begun to Show Results, and the Nobles Are Shocked
A trace of fear flashed across Zhuge Liang's expression, and he said, "A few days ago, someone opened the gate of Tiangongyuan without permission late at night, and was stopped by a pretty woman. General Dian Wei, the guard on duty, came and killed him without any mercy. It can be said..."
Hearing this, Pang Tong felt a chill behind him, "This... in this case, you and I should leave quickly..."
Pang Tong didn't want to lose his life here.
Pang Tong immediately pulled Zhuge Liang and left quickly. He looked back at the tall, gorgeous and solemn wall, and felt very respectful in his heart. This Tiangongyuan was already a sacred place that he did not dare to pry into.
Walking out of the Academy of Sciences, next to it is the school, the place where schools are run in the inner city of Xiapi, Xuzhou.
Today, in the eyes of those who respect Confucianism, this school is a deviant and filthy place.
Pang Tong stood at the door of the school, his mood was very complicated.
After a long time, Pang Tong said quietly, "From now on, this is where I, Pang Tong, will teach and study hard."
As he spoke, there was a hint of struggle in Pang Tong's eyes.
Zhuge Liang patted Pang Tong on the shoulder and said, "Shi Yuan, as long as you work hard, you will surely prosper in the future."
"With your talent and learning, you will definitely have a time to show your talents. Together with me, you will assist Master Xi, revive the Han Dynasty, and make unparalleled contributions!"
Zhuge Liang's words were very passionate. Although Pang Tong was moved, he couldn't help but worry, "Even so, in these troubled times, I am new to Xuzhou. I am afraid that I will not have the opportunity to use my knowledge and strategies. "
Zhuge Liang smiled lightly and said, "No need to worry, Shi Yuan."
"The school has exams on the first day of every month, and the exams are divided into subjects. In the engineering school where you are, there is a great teacher Pu Feng who is the examiner. You can walk around and communicate with him more on weekdays. If you can increase your knowledge from it, you will have the opportunity to be recommended to participate in the future. "Assessment."
"During the evaluation, you can stand out and offer suggestions."
"Assessment..."
Although it was the first time for Pang Tong to hear such novel words, blood seemed to surge in his heart.
He warned himself that he must enter the evaluation and try to have a discussion with the drama master Haoshengce, in order to seek greater opportunities for development.
…
More than ten days have passed, and according to the previous arrangements within the school, teachers and students have a regular schedule every day, and students have no time to go outside the school.
For a time, the inside of the school and the outside world seemed like two different worlds.
Qiao Gong and Huang Chengyan, who came to Xuzhou with Pang Tong, had never had the opportunity to enter the school to find out.
But the two of them already knew that Pang Tong had entered the school and studied iron smelting as a Confucian scholar at the Blacksmith Institute. For this reason, Pang Tong was directly ridiculed by the Xiapi scholars.
There are many things similar to Pang Tong. For this reason, some people predict that within half a year, Xuzhou will definitely run out of money and will not be able to obtain useful military equipment. If Xi Yu runs a school in this way, he will only end up raising a group of craftsmen and farmers. Just businessmen.
Xuzhou, Chen family residence.
"Unexpectedly, I went to visit Duke Qiao with good intentions today, but he actually refused to see me!"
Chen Gui slapped the table, his face extremely angry.
"What makes me even more unexpected is that Mr. Qiao is actually doing something deviant, calling it Sudoku."
Upon hearing this, a group of Confucian scholars were immediately shocked, "What is... Sudoku?"
Today, Chen Gui has silver hair and looks much older.
Now that summer has arrived, Chen Gui is only wearing a thin robe, and his arms are as dry as firewood.
Seeing that the Confucian students were very curious, Chen Gui said slightly, "According to the information I heard, this 'Sudoku' is just some boring thing in the school."
"Someone dares to neglect their duties! Why do you continue to open this school..."
"I heard that today is the first day of the month exam, and the first batch of talented people are about to be born. It is said that the top three will be rewarded, but I don't know what the reward is??"
"I didn't expect that Master Xi's plan for running a school would be nothing more than this. What a pity!"
For a time, the Confucian scholars all shook their heads and sighed, and some even wanted to escape from this place.
But soon, they had to give up this idea.
Previously, there was a man named Wang Yu who was a nobleman near Xiaopei in Xuzhou. He was dissatisfied with Xi Yu's policy of "abolition of Confucianism" and moved away from Xuzhou. However, he soon moved back to Xuzhou as soon as he arrived in Xiangyang.
Someone was puzzled and asked him why he was like this. The person replied: "Famous people from Xiangyang come to Xuzhou, why should I leave Xuzhou?!"
He originally planned to go to Xuzhou to display celebrities. Who would have thought that all the celebrities he was familiar with would come to Xuzhou in order to examine the actual effects of Xi Yu's administrative order.
This surprised him deeply, so he had to rush back to Xuzhou.
A Confucian scholar in the crowd said, "Look, everyone, this is the art of engineering in the school that I inquired about yesterday. It is indeed a strange and weird academic."
"What is this? Newtonian mechanics...law?!"
"What's the use of this law? What kind of constant law is there? And these strange drawings, aren't they just nonsense?"
"What's the use of learning such unorthodox techniques? It's harmful to others if you mislead others. Let's go, we have to go to the school!"
"Walk!"
…
At this time, many Confucian scholars stood at the door, feeling very angry.
The father and son of the Chen family looked at each other. Chen Deng was now a school teacher. Every day when he came home, he was blocked by a group of gentry and Confucian scholars at the door of his house.
These scholars seemed to regard the Chen family as their own. No matter how hard the Chen family drove them away, these people would not leave. They were very shameless and shameless.
Moreover, these people chatted about all kinds of things every day. They hated the injustice of the world and the blindness of heaven. They firmly believed that if all people turned away from Confucianism, the country would no longer be a country.
Seeing these Confucian scholars who only complained about the world every day, Chen Deng just wanted to curse loudly, "Since you are so opposed to the school in Xuzhou, you can go and kill the play master!"
What does the school have to do with heaven? What's the point of cursing heaven?
Here, even if you want to curse heaven, you can do whatever you want when you go back to your own home. What's the big deal about cursing heaven and earth in my home? !
Chen Deng was very tired of being scolded and made a fuss by these people all day long. What made him even more uncomfortable was that he and his father began to have difficulty communicating.
"Father, I'm going to the school first." Chen Deng said to his father Chen Gui.
"Okay, you go." Chen Gui replied in a deep voice.
Chen Deng nodded and walked towards the school.
He had some books in his hands, which were the topics that needed to be explained today.
Nowadays, most of the students in the school were orphans of the war. Most of these children were simple and honest. Chen Deng taught them to learn Confucianism and read and write. Although they were not good at writing, they had long known how to respect teachers.
Whenever Chen Deng appeared in the school, these orphans would gather around him. They bowed to him and asked about the learning methods and what they did not understand. All of these moved Chen Deng very much.
Chen Deng remembered that when he was a farmer, he proposed and was responsible for implementing the policy of farmer, which saved many families.
Now, Chen Deng had a hunch that this school-running policy was a great reform and would surely bring great results in the near future...
...
On this day, in front of the school, the results of the monthly assessment were announced. After the results were announced, the monthly assessment ended and the children could leave the school.
Among all the subjects, from theory to practice, only Confucianism required multiple teachers to discuss and evaluate, while the other subjects were evaluated based on actual works.
Either theoretical setting, or making corresponding weapons with the theory learned.
Such a major event is the first evaluation of Xi Daren's school, and it is destined to be very lively today.
The people in the inner city quickly surrounded the entrance of the school.
Among this crowd, there are also many people of prominent status.
Their children are also studying in the school.
The school opened by Xi Daren this time not only admits war orphans, but also admits children who meet the age and have talents. The admission conditions are not limited to one type, and only talents are used. Therefore, children of people of prominent status also have the opportunity to enter the school run by Xi Yu.
At this time, a carriage stopped at the entrance of the school, and Xi Yu got off the carriage, followed by the general guards, and Zhuge Liang and Guo Jia followed Xi Yu closely.
The two are tall and handsome, knowledgeable and intelligent, and are already well-known celebrities in Xia Pi City.
There is also an older person next to the two. The people only know his surname Jia, but not his name.
Before this, a group of teachers in the school, led by Cao Ang, led a team to wait for Xi Yu's arrival.
Xi Yu stood still and said to Zhuge Liang, "Kong Ming, announce the results."
"Yes."
Zhuge Liang nodded, then stood in front of the crowd, holding a scroll in his hand, and read aloud: "The first place in the Institute of Technology, Li Ming of the Li family, with the name Yunpu, has made a conclusion on the hook and lock with what he has learned today, and the reward is 8 jin."
Hearing this, someone in the crowd suddenly said excitedly, "Haha, it's my son, my son has made it!"
"Hehe, it's me!"
At the same time, a fat man in the crowd surrounded by a cloth shouted loudly, his face full of joy that could not be concealed.
The first place in the Institute of Technology, and the reward is 8 jin!
What a surprise!
It is a real reward, 8 jin of gold, how much food it can withstand, this year his family does not need to worry about food, and it can also be exchanged for a house.
How can I not be ecstatic!
Dian Wei distributed the bounty personally. Seeing the full 8 kilograms of gold, the people around were immediately excited. "Master Xi is right. Enrollment is really useful. As long as you learn something, you can get a bounty!"
"Master Xi is not lying to us!"
For a while, the people told each other the results of the monthly evaluation of the school, which immediately caused a sensation...
As for what the wheel-fixing device is? No one knows, not even the Confucian scholars.
Huang Chengyan and Qiao Gong, who heard the news, were also shocked and immediately became very interested in Xi Yu's school.
Other people who learned the news immediately ran outside the school. Soon, the school was blocked outside.
At this time, it was the Confucian class. The strategies written by the students could be used to settle Xuzhou. After Zhuge Liang read it out, the Confucian students could comment on it. They even nodded in approval for the subtleties.
As for the strategy that the first place in engineering just made, they didn't understand it at all, and they didn't know why it was ranked first.
But the first place in the military equipment category of the engineering category, the Confucian scholars understood that a 13-year-old boy won the championship, and he improved the catapult to make its base more stable, and also effectively lengthened the force rod, using the balanced gravity to increase the weight, so that the transmission distance can reach 800 steps away.
This improvement was actually made by the boy, and the Confucian scholars and even the crowd were amazed.
What shocked everyone even more was that this improved catapult could produce six or seven per month.
Next, it was the agricultural college category, and the first place was the policy paper.
According to his policy paper, a brand-new and well-organized autumn harvest strategy, coupled with the cooperation of the engineering college's equipment, while reducing half of the manpower in previous years, can complete the harvest and storage of grain in a shorter time.
This policy theory attracted Confucian scholars and scholars to nod their heads in praise.
And the second place in this agricultural college also has some outstanding strategies.
This person envisaged in the policy theory: Based on the first place, the "grain station" idea was adopted. In Xuzhou, with the deep route as the main route, a grain station would be built every eight miles and guarded by the militia.
As a result, the entire territory of Xuzhou will be dotted with grain stations. Even if the enemy makes a sneak attack, they will not be able to burn all the grain at once.
If there is a war, grain and grass can be quickly dispatched from various grain stations within a day.
Moreover, as long as there is no harvest failure every year, Xuzhou will never run out of food.
However, Xi Yu had already ordered that such an important and sophisticated farm policy should not be announced to the outside world to prevent it from being spied on by the enemy.
The Agricultural Academy made such an ingenious policy that the Confucian scholars and nobles could not help but sigh: Xi Yu has achieved extraordinary results this time!
The results of Xi Yu's school operation were remarkable. In less than half a day, the whole Xuzhou city knew about it. The families who had benefited greatly from Xi Yu were extremely grateful to Xi Yu. They came outside the government office one after another to express their gratitude by giving some gifts in person. Affection.
Although they are all ordinary things, they sincerely represent the gratitude of the people, including many who were previously opposed to Xi Yu.
In this way, the people of Xuzhou were grateful to Xi Yu, but those nobles who opposed Xi Yu's school seemed to be indifferent.
Among the Xuzhou noble clans in the past, only the Langya Zhuge clan and the Xuzhou Mi clan were the most powerful clans in the world. They made many contributions to the Xiyu saddle.
But apart from Zhuge Liang, the Zhuge family has no clan blood in Xuzhou city.
Now, after Zhuge Liang has become a famous figure, the Zhuge family has also become famous.
Xuzhou, which was scolded as "apostate", is now like a slowly burning bright lamp. At the slightest sign of trouble, the news immediately spreads everywhere.
…
In the government office, it was very busy tonight.
Guo Jia and Zhuge Liang stood in front of the papers, carefully sorting out the students' ideas.
Soon, the two of them felt a heavy pressure.
They know very well that Drama Master runs a school so that all kinds of ideas can bloom. How could they know that now there are all kinds of wonderful ideas.
The two suddenly felt that they had a heavy responsibility on their shoulders, and they were even worried that if they were not careful, they would let down the great trust of the opera master.
"Fengxiao, what do you think about the concept of equipment?" Zhuge Liang suddenly asked.
Guo Jia immediately took the scroll from Zhuge Liang's hand. It was a student who imagined using water pipe technology for military purposes. Guo Jia denied it, "It's not close to reality. How can pipe technology be used for blowing arrows?"
This strategy is based on the hard work of students who were born in poverty. If they can be selected by the design institute, they will receive a bounty of 4 catties and 60 dendrobium of grain.
Such a reward, for ordinary people, is enough to support several months of food subsistence. This student is in his teens and his family of three relies entirely on his studies in the school to support him.
Before this, no one dared to think about it.
Zhuge Liang and Guo Jia were very busy, as was Cao Ang on the side. He took out many Confucian strategies and evaluated them with Xu Shao and Xu Jing. "In my opinion, this person can be rated as a canon and promoted to the government office." Tang, appointed as one of the chief ministers."
"Uncle Xu Jing, if this person is filial and honest, if he has no bad deeds, he can be the county magistrate's replacement."
"well……"
Xu Jing and Xu Shao were very busy at the moment, their lips were dry and their tongues were dry, but they had no chance to drink tea.
I remember that when the two of them were still in Runan, they would have several cups of tea every day, talk about everything in the world, and comment on the affairs of the world. How leisurely and unrestrained they were.
Nowadays, they are so busy, but the two of them feel happier.
It’s even more fun!
However, Cao Ang was so enthusiastic about running schools, which surprised the two Xu brothers.
The two of them worked hard on teaching, and within a month, they were able to achieve something.
Some of the students already had a foundation in Confucianism, but after this month of study, their Confucian knowledge improved a lot, and they were deeply loved by them.
At this moment, Chen Deng was also in the government office, responsible for evaluating farming strategies alone.
That night, the government office was busy, with many teachers performing their duties, just to select enough feasible strategies before dawn so that they could be implemented in Xuzhou as soon as possible.
Only then did Chen Deng fully understand Xi Yu's original intention of running a school.
"Sure enough, Mr. Xi, you are flying to the mortal world. This is the original purpose..."
"The seemingly deviant schooling has led to hundreds of flowers blooming, so many ingenious strategies, so many novel ideas, involving armament, farming, water conservancy and many other industries. After this year's autumn harvest, Xuzhou will surely be even more prosperous!"
Chen Deng exclaimed in surprise.
"Master Xi, I finally understand your good intentions. I admire you. I really admire you!"
Chen Deng was even more convinced in his heart that a man like Mr. Xi, who has unparalleled strategies, must possess the entire Bible!
Thinking of this and looking at the many ingenious strategies, Chen Deng showed no signs of fatigue. He concentrated on choosing the most satisfactory farming strategy, and at the same time, he also hoped to inspire himself.
After a long time, Chen Deng raised his head and glanced at the main seat. At this time, Xi Yu had fallen asleep on the couch.
Chen Deng immediately thought to himself: "Your Excellency, you have worked so hard, and I will do our best to help you!"
After that, Chen Deng, like everyone else, concentrated on doing things until late at night. Zhuge Liang got up and saw Xi Yu sleeping, so he found a thick velvet blanket to cover Xi Yu.
Until the early morning of the next day, a group of counselors under Xi Yu finally sorted out the fantastic ideas of more than a thousand students, but they were only rough ideas. Scholars, farmers, industry and commerce covered a wide range of topics and needed to be reviewed by Xi Yu himself.
It was just dawn and Xiyu woke up from sleep.
Jia Xu and Chen Deng stood aside, bowing their heads respectfully.
"How is it? Is the review completed?" Xi Yu rubbed his eyes and asked.
"Yes, sir, we have sorted out all the strategies and finally sorted out thirteen of the most sophisticated and feasible strategies. These strategies are very suitable for many counties."
Xi Yu said in a deep voice, "Yes, it's good to get them out. I hope that after the autumn harvest this year, these strategies can be effective, so as not to be scolded by those Confucian scholars from the aristocratic families."
Xi Yu's words were originally casual, but the speaker was unintentional, and the listener was intentional. Chen Deng suddenly trembled when he heard these words, and the shame in his heart made him ashamed to speak.
