Chapter 47 Official School and Private School

Seeing Zhou Xiucai's appearance, Lin Xianyang was also filled with righteous indignation and said:

"How can you bully people like this! You are all scholars!"

Lin Xianyang sprayed the instruction, but Zhou Xiucai said instead:

"Haijiao's instruction is also to rectify the ethos of the county school, but the state of our Nanping county school can't be solved just by the Qing examination."

Su Ze asked suspiciously: "Dare to ask Zhou Xiucai, why is Nanping County School so deserted?"

Zhou Xiucai sighed and said: "Nan Pingfan is a scholar who has some ability and is studying in Yanping Academy, and those who come to the county to study are poor scholars like me who are greedy for two taels of money every month, and are so poor that they can't get rid of the pot."

"When the teaching was in place before, I also knew that Nanping County School was not as good as Yanping Academy, and everyone was mainly taught by themselves. In the past ten years, the entire Nanping County School has produced one candidate, but Yanping Academy has produced seven candidates. You It is said that those scholarly families in this county should study in the county school or go to Yanping Academy."

Su Ze and Lin Xianyang looked at each other, Lin Xianyang never thought that the sacred and unattainable county school in his heart would sink to such a point.

However, Su Ze is not surprised. Fujian itself has a strong atmosphere of private academies, and this Yanping Academy in Nanping County was originally built in the Southern Song Dynasty. It can be said to have a long history.

Zhu Xi's teacher, Li Tong, named Mr. Yanping, once gave lectures in Nanping, and Yanping Academy was established to commemorate this great master of Daoism, one of the four sages of Fujian studies.

Su Ze used Lv5 "History". He recalled that there were four campaigns to ban and destroy academies in the Ming Dynasty, and asked suspiciously: "Didn't the emperor decree to ban private schools today? This Yanping Academy is like this flagrant?"

Zhou Xiucai looked sideways at Su Ze. Unexpectedly, a scholar in a small place in Changningwei knew about the imperial court's decree. Zhou Xiucai looked at Su Ze with admiration.

The first person to ban and destroy the academy was naturally Hongwu Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang.

During Zhu Yuanzhang’s reign, there was no so-called folk academics. All great Confucian scholars had to teach in government schools.

In the second and third campaigns to ban and destroy academies, Emperor Jiajing felt the threat of Yangming’s philosophy of mind, and ordered twice in the 16th and 17th years of Jiajing’s reign to ban and destroy academies across the country.

Zhou Xiucai said with a wry smile: "The old Xu Ge once taught at Yanping Academy. These private academies are all in the same place, and they are inseparable with the officials of the prefecture and county. How could they be banned?"

Su Ze suddenly realized that Emperor Jiajing's measures to suppress Xinxue had actually failed.

In the court today, Xu Jie, the second assistant to the cabinet, regards himself as a disciple of Xinxue, and is the leader of Jiangyou School today.

Nie Bao, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, was Wang Yangming's disciple. When Xu Jie was studying, he encouraged Xu Jie, and Xu Jie also gave him a teacher's ceremony.

Although Nie Bao got close to Yan Song and fell out with Xu Jie, the influence of Xinxue's lineage in the court was quite strong.

Lin Xianyang suddenly asked: "Can the students of Yanping Academy also take the imperial examination?"

Su Ze explained to Lin Xianyang: "Yes, you can enter the county school after passing the boy's examination, of course, you don't have to enter the county school, and take the county examination as a Confucian scholar. Most students in the academy take this path."

Zhou Xiucai nodded quickly and said: "Yes, yes, the county school is not prosperous now, and all promising scholars go to Yanping Academy. Yanping Academy often invites great Confucian scholars to give lectures, and every time it is a grand event in the county's literary world. It’s not that Lin Sheng still has two taels of silver every month, I also want to go to Yanping Academy to study.”

Su Ze secretly marveled at the prosperity of the Southern Academy. Even though there are still pirates in the southeast, the academic activities in Fujian are still developing very well.

These private academies are not only educational institutions, but also academic institutions and propaganda institutions.

Great Confucians have been giving lectures since the Song Dynasty. In the beginning, they sat down in a downtown area and talked, and even debated on the street.

But these "Confucian masters" may also feel that this is too pretentious, so the place where the lectures are placed is in the academy.

For example, when Zhang Zai, a great Confucian of Guan Xue in the Song Dynasty, gave lectures at Hengqu Academy, it was like a concert by a top star. People from the entire Guanzhong area flocked to Hengqu just to listen to his lectures.

And Wang Yangming, a great Confucian of the heart who is more recent, gave lectures at Jishan Academy and Yangming Academy many times. Waiting for Wang Yangming's next lecture.

Yanping Academy is also such a comprehensive institution. The academy has a school for cultivating scholars for imperial examinations, and a famous hall for Confucian lectures, which has a huge influence in the entire Yanping Prefecture.

At this time, the newly appointed Hai Jiaoyu still needs to rectify the county school. It is no wonder that many county students have dropped out of school. If they are really expelled from the student qualifications, it will be a big loss.

While the three were talking, the unkind Hai Jiaoyu they were talking about had already appeared at the door of the dormitory.

To say that Hai Jiaoyu was in a rather bad mood, the county officials greeted the new magistrate yesterday, because he refused to bow down to the magistrate, he was nicknamed "pen holder" by the new magistrate.

Now the entire Nanping County knows that there is a "sea pen holder" in the county school.

This unpopular teacher in Nanping County will be the "Excalibur of Ming Dynasty" Hai Rui in the future!

At this time, Hai Rui had just won the Juren. After failing to win the Jinshi, Hai Rui went to Beijing to select officials, and was finally assigned the position of Nanping Jiaoyu.

It can be said that the current Hai Rui is also a rookie who has just stepped into the officialdom.

As soon as he stepped into the officialdom, he was nicknamed "penholder" by his superiors. The upright Hai Rui had already written his resignation letter.

Hai Rui was about to go to the county government office to deliver his resignation letter, when he saw two strange figures, Su Ze and Lin Xianyang, he walked into the dormitory.

When Zhou Xiucai saw Hai Rui, like a mouse seeing a cat, he immediately saluted and said, "Teach me!"

Su Ze also pulled Lin Xianyang to salute, and Hai Rui returned the salute thoughtfully, but then asked Zhou Xiucai in a stern tone:

"Now is the time for morning reading, why don't you go to Minglun Hall to study?"

Zhou Xiucai was about to run away with his book in his arms, when Hai Rui asked again:

"Who are you waiting for, why did you enter the county school?"

Su Ze didn't expect to meet Hai Rui so soon. When he was studying Ming history, he liked Hai Rui a lot. Today, seeing a real person, he feels like meeting a celebrity offline.

"Who are you waiting for? Why did you enter the county school?" Hai Rui asked again, and Su Ze said:

"Grassman Su Ze, if you want to take part in next year's boy's test, you're here to ask Zhou Xiucai to sign a bond."

Hearing that Su Ze was a child student who was going to take the county examination, Hai Rui's face became kinder.

He is a teacher of a county, and he is in charge of the education work of a county. Although he is about to resign, Hai Rui still sticks to his job responsibilities and wants to persuade Su Ze, a latecomer, to study hard.

Hai Rui said, "Are you going to the county government office to deliver the bond? Go with me, and I will test your homework on the way."

Naturally, Hai Rui didn't mean to make a fool of himself when he said this, he was a juren, and Su Ze wasn't even a scholar.

Even in Nanping County, where the literary style is prosperous, there are only two or three candidates who can pass the provincial examination each time.

This is also the reason why Fan Jinzhong was so happy that he passed out after passing out.

Although later generations always think that Hai Rui's education is low, it's because he won three yuan every time in time-traveling novels.

In fact, Hai Rui's literary talent for writing "Zhi An Shu" is also very good.

The edict of a county itself is the teacher of the scholars in the county, so it is understandable to compare Su Ze's homework.

And Hai Rui also saw that Su Ze was extraordinary, and wanted to test his homework, point out his shortcomings, and persuade him to study hard.

Hai Rui has always believed that "seek a job in his position", and he has not resigned yet, so he must fulfill his duty of teaching and support underachievers like Su Ze.

Su Ze walked for a week and said, "Students dare not follow me."
