Chapter 616 Enlightenment for the Children of the World

""Rabbit Garden Book"... Is my brother really going to recruit young children?"

In the lecture room, watching the textbooks being brought in, Jiang Jing, who was holding the account book, came over to take a look and found that it was "Rabbit Garden Book".

Li Yan nodded: "Our academy's original source of students is to cater to children aged six to ten. Compared with the entry threshold of "Thousand Characters", "Rabbit Garden Book" is more suitable for immature children."

Jiang Jing hesitated to speak: "But..."

Li Yan laughed: "But "Rabbit Garden Book" is despised by scholar-bureaucrats, right? Don't worry about it, we are not a mainstream academy, we just treat it as a rural private school."

In the Northern Song Dynasty, the common textbooks for enlightenment of children were not "Hundred Surnames" and "Keys to Enlightenment", which had not yet been fully circulated, but "Rabbit Garden Book" and "Thousand Character Essay".

Speaking of "The Book of Rabbit Garden", Li Yan remembered that during the period of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, there was a prime minister Feng Dao who served successively in the Later Tang, Later Jin, Later Han, and Later Zhou dynasties, and served ten emperors successively. Known as "the elders of the ten dynasties".

Out of the concept of loyalty to the emperor, ancient literati despised him very much. For example, Ouyang Xiu called him "shameless" and Sima Guang called him "a treacherous official". But in modern times, many people regard Feng Dao as an official tumbler.

There is an interesting story about this man. It is said that he always likes to look back when he walks. Some people ridicule him, saying that if Feng Dao walks in a hurry, a copy of "Rabbit Garden Book" will fall from him, so he has to look back from time to time. , The elementary school textbooks are always in the body, obviously there is no culture.

This story comes from the "New History of the Five Dynasties" edited by Ouyang Xiu. The authenticity of the story is questionable, but it is too detrimental. A certain Zhou Guogong of the Tang Dynasty expressed that he was seriously offended.

But I have to say that during the Northern Song Dynasty, due to its superficial content, "The Book of Rabbit Garden" was indeed often despised by scholar-bureaucrats. Even if they knew how to learn "Book of the Rabbit Garden" when they were enlightened, it did not prevent them from despising it when they grew up.

To be honest, when Li Yan flipped through the "Rabbit Garden Book", which has been lost to later generations, he found that although the threshold was much lower than "Thousand Characters" and it was more suitable for young people to get started, the content was really not very good. Fortunately, he bought it. Into the "Rabbit Garden Book", in fact, for another textbook as a foreshadowing...

Jiang Jing is very worried that once discrimination is formed, it will be difficult to change. Once the "Rabbit Garden Book" is released, the enlightenment level of the academy will drop, and how many parents in Bianjing are willing to send their children here...

Just as he was thinking, An Daoquan walked in and handed over a list: "Brother, the first batch of students has been confirmed. According to your order, we will take a class of [-] students first."

Li Yan took it calmly, and Jiang Jing stretched his neck to look at it, unable to hide his surprise: "The first batch of students has been recruited so soon?"

Li Yan laughed: "Are you wondering why they came to this little-known academy? It's actually very simple, because this is Suian Academy!"

Zhu Wu, who was also busy in the lecture room, pricked up his ears, and after hearing Jiang Jing's thoughtfulness, he suddenly said: "So they came here for the name of elder brother's genius doctor!"

An Daoquan said with a smile: "These students are all patients that my brother has seen before. After studying in the academy, they can also take care of their bodies. Why not do it?"

Li Yandao: "Winter is tough. Those children from rich and powerful families are prone to die early if they get sick without timely treatment, not to mention ordinary people. They send their children to study, and they can also be taken care of. It kills two birds with one stone."

Zhu Wu was a little moved when he heard the words, but Jiang Jing had already gotten used to it: "So that's the case, no wonder my brother chose the name of the academy as Sui'an, this will really reassure the parents."

Li Yan looked at An Daoquan: "How is the cook?"

An Daoquan nodded: "Brother, do you still remember the Cao Zheng I told you about last time? He knew that after the academy was opened, he introduced many people to come, all of whom are skilled chefs in Tie Xue Lou."

Li Yandao: "This small academy of ours is equipped with chefs from the main store, and the salary is really good, but in terms of wages, it is impossible to follow the level of Tiexuelou at that time, and it has to be paid according to the market price."

An Daoquan thinks it's good: "Of course, they have nothing to do now, and it's a timely help if they get recruited. The thick general's guild is now overthrown by everyone, and maybe they will be removed..."

Jiang Jing said coldly: "That's right, the Chamber of Commerce that colluded with Wuyou Cave has already been sealed up. If it wasn't for...hmph, if it was revived by this Chamber of Commerce anyway, how could it be worthy of those who died tragically in Wuyou Cave? people?"

Zhu Wu's eyes also flashed fierceness. His friend Chen Yu from the same town was killed by Wuyoudong. Although it was only the knife that acted in the end, the person holding the knife was the culprit, but the thief in Wuyoudong was also everyone. Get it and kill it.

Fortunately, the cancerous tumor had been dug up by Judge Gongsun, and this Lin Chong also participated...

Thinking of this, Zhu Wu's eyes flickered: "It's a pity that this person doesn't have the courage of Judge Gongsun after all... But Judge Gongsun ended up like that, why should he ask others to be like him..."

When Zhu Wu was full of thoughts, Jiang Jing looked at the account book, calculated silently, and breathed a sigh of relief.

Now the academy is small in scale, cheap in rent, and sparsely staffed. If it recruits thirty students, it can achieve a balance of income and expenditure according to the normal monthly schedule, which is beyond his original idea.

Just like this, another question arose, Jiang Jing asked: "If the source of children can be guaranteed, do we need to recruit a few more teachers?"

Zhu Wu hastily averted his gaze. Ever since Ding Run arranged to guard him, this group of people is not afraid of him, a murder suspect, but he commands them around and does all kinds of chores. He doesn't want to teach those children to read "Rabbit Garden Book".

But Li Yan didn't look at him at all: "I told Judge Ding before that we can recruit Taixue students to teach at the academy, and now the case of Taixue is getting more and more serious..."

Just in the middle of the conversation, his ears moved slightly, and he walked out quickly: "Something happened later!"

Jiang Jing and An Daoquan followed, but Zhu Wu didn't go, his head lowered.

Behind the academy is the Bian River, and he already guessed what happened.

Sure enough, when Li Yan arrived with Jiang Jing and An Daoquan, Lu Junyi, Suo Chao and Hua Rong were standing on the shore with ugly expressions.

Everyone looked towards Hanoi, their expressions became heavy.

"Oh, another student jumped into the river again..."

"Heh, another student jumped into the river again~"

On the diagonally opposite bank, Gao Qiu was surrounded by Huang Chengsi and was also watching the fun. He was indifferent to the people who fell into the water, but observed the crowds gathered on the bank, secretly proud.

In the past few days, with the fermentation of the Taixue case, not only the gate of the Taixue, but also a large number of people were surrounded every day, and the Taixue students who offered bribes were also cleared out.

Some of them bribed doctors to obtain promotion qualifications. In fact, it is considered trivial to clear them out, and they should never be hired.

But some students were so wronged that they didn't give any valuable gifts at all, and some of them could even be counted as within the scope of Shuxiu, but they were still beaten to death with a stick.

After these people cried and complained that they had nowhere to go, they were filled with shame and indignation, unable to bear the blow, they jumped into the Bian River.

Gao Lian was very happy.

Two years ago, he was one of this group of ordinary people struggling to find a way out for themselves.

Today, two years later, he is already the emperor's favored minister, and he is the secretary of the imperial city. What he cares about has completely shifted from the life and death of the common people to what Zhao Ji wants.

Facts have proved that it is very wise for the government to strictly order Yushitai to dig deeper into this case. Now the debates in the capital are all major fraud cases, and there are no more rumors about killing his mother. .

As soon as he was in a happy mood, he turned to the opposite side, and the corner of his mouth twitched: "That's Lin Chong's Suian Academy? Why did it start so quietly?"

The subordinate hurriedly said: "Remind me, Lin Chong didn't invite anyone, not even his father."

Gao Qiu sneered: "I don't know what it means to run an academy at a young age instead of taking the exam to become an official!"

Think about this talented person wasting his life so much, and then look at himself, in addition to completing the work of the Imperial City Secretary, he also has to learn calligraphy, painting, poetry and poetry, practice sumo wrestling, and practice Cuju... let alone ordinary times, Even the winter solstice holidays are fully arranged!

Gao Qiu was jealous again, and looked back with a bit of arrogance, calling: "Let's go!"

They had just left, Bianhe Nei was changing again, the student who jumped into the river fluttered with his hands exposed, and there was a faint cry for help: "Help... Gululu..."

Everyone was sorry before that no one rushed to rescue those who had made up their minds to seek death. The current in this section was still very fast and there were so many boats that it was really inconvenient to save people.

But seeing the student surviving, Lu Junyi immediately shouted loudly: "Don't panic, I'll save you!"

Li Yan also moved, but his eyes fell not far away, but he said: "No need, there are people who are proficient in water skills, let's not go up and cause trouble."

Lu Junyi followed his gaze, and saw a white line passing through the water, and suddenly reached the river.

"Whoa!"

Accompanied by the sound of splashing water, a fair-skinned young man appeared, hugged the student tightly, and walked towards the river bank.

Everyone couldn't help clapping their hands and praised: "Good skill!"

When Lu Junyi saw it, he said happily: "Isn't that Zhang Shun? Brother, I recognize this boy!"

Suo Chao also recognized it, and explained: "At that time we went to save Judge Gongsun, got to know the Zhang brothers, and got a lot of help from them, which made Judge Ding very headache... But thinking about it now, it's better not to let Gongsun When the judge comes back, he will get the notoriety of being wanted for nothing!"

Lu Junyi said: "Not to mention the sad things, I went to find the Zhang brothers and recommend them to my brother!"

On the bank of the Bian River, Lu Junyi excitedly went looking for someone.

In the lecture room, after Zhu Wu finished his work seriously, he put the "Rabbit Garden Book" away.

Just as he was about to leave, he accidentally saw that on the table of the podium, there were words written on the rough paper spread out. The handwriting was similar to the door plaque, and it was obviously written by Lin Chong.

He glanced casually at first, then suddenly became serious, and read aloud softly:

"In the beginning of human beings, their natures are inherently good. Their natures are similar, their habits are far apart..."
