Daming: Mixed in Dangzhi County, Beiping

Chapter 174 Guo An: I don't know, but it's revenge
"Master Daoyan?"

Zhu Di glared, and looked at Guo An with a face full of surprise.

"Guo Qing, the academy is a Confucian academy, Jijiu is in charge of Confucian discipline, and Master Daoyan is a monk, how can he be in charge of Jijiu?"

"Your Highness, I remember that Master Daoyan is knowledgeable and knowledgeable, and he is a monk who understands Confucianism."

Guo An said with a confident face, "Since Master Daoyan is so proficient in Confucianism, why can't he become an academy sacrificial wine?"

"This is absolutely impossible."

Zhu Di looked resolute, "We know that Master Yan is very knowledgeable and has many talented people in his belly, but he is a monk, and the post of offering sacrifices in the Academy is very important, and it needs someone with high Confucian virtues to take it."

A trace of disappointment flashed in Guo An's eyes, "Then I don't know who His Royal Highness can appoint to be the priest?"

Zhu Di said slowly, "Du Xi, Mr. Du."

"Mr. Du Shui?"

Guo An couldn't help but look puzzled, he seemed to have never heard of this great Confucian, "Your Highness, I wonder who is this old gentleman?"

Zhu Di explained: "Du Xie, whose calligraphy is Zhidao, was born in Huguan, Shanxi Province. He was gifted and talented since he was a child. He was familiar with the Four Books and Five Classics, especially the Yi.

When he was in Luzhou State School, he was selected as a direct student to assist in the management of the land, money, books, and sacrificial vessels of the State School.

He won the championship in one fell swoop in the township examination. In order to solve Yuangong, he was appointed as the instructor of Lucheng, and later he was promoted to be the teacher of Taizhou...

The former Yuan Dynasty called him to promote Confucianism in Shaanxi, but Mr. Zhidao used the name of filial piety. He has been living in seclusion in the countryside for more than ten years and has been teaching students in the countryside. good……"

Guo An couldn't help being a little puzzled, "Your Highness, why have I never heard of such a professional counterpart, such a highly respected Confucian, and my father and father-in-law have never recommended it to me?"

Zhu Di said calmly: "In 13 years, my father heard about his virtuousness and recruited him as Xia Guan, but last year, my father canceled the establishment of the four auxiliary officials, and Mr. Zhidao was vacant.

And Mr. Zhidao is already seventy-six this year. Brother Huang heard about our difficulties and recommended him to us. "

"This old gentleman is the Fourth Assistant Official?"

Guo An couldn't help being excited, "Your Highness, when will this old gentleman arrive at Beiping Mansion?"

That's the Fourth Assistant Officer?
The four assistant officials were newly created by Lao Zhu to replace the prime minister after he killed Hu Weiyong and dismissed Zhongshu Province.

Although the four assistant officials are all simple and honest rural Confucians, they are equivalent to a prime minister of the Ming Dynasty.

Being able to become the Fourth Assistant Official is enough to prove that the old man has great talent and a simple mind. For the newly built academy, he is definitely the most suitable candidate.

As for whether this person is recommended by the prince, it doesn't matter at all.

Zhu Di said: "In two days, we will arrive at Beiping Mansion."

"Very good!"

Guo An was overjoyed, "After two days like this, with the arrival of the old Mr. Zhidao, he will definitely bring a lot of masters."

Looking at Guo An's greedy face, the corners of Zhu Di's mouth twitched slightly, and he reminded: "Guo Qing, it seems that our academy has no shortage of masters."

"Your Highness, our academy is short, our Yanwang Mansion is also short, and our Beiping Mansion is even more short."

Guo An replied seriously.

Zhu Di was taken aback.

Guo An patiently explained: "His Royal Highness, only when there are many Confucian scholars and masters, those scholars will not be arrogant about their talents, and His Highness will be easy to oppress... manage them."

"Extremely!"

Zhu Di nodded slightly.

Afterwards, Guo An asked again: "Your Highness, what about the position of secretary?"

Zhu Di couldn't help being a little puzzled, "Si Ye is the deputy of Jijiu, and he should be the confidant of our palace. Could it be that Guo Qing intends to let him?"

Guo An hurriedly said: "Your Highness has misunderstood, I just think that the academy is very important to His Highness and the Yan Palace, and it needs a wise man who can keep a close eye on the Academy to take up the position."

Zhu Di was even more puzzled, "Does Guo Qing have a candidate?"

Guo An nodded and said: "Your Highness, I think Master Daoyan is the most suitable."

"Master Daoyan again?"

Zhu Di said in a daze.

Then, suddenly realizing something, Zhu Di looked at Guo An in surprise, "Couldn't Guo Qing be taking revenge on Master Daoyan?"

Guo An looked puzzled, "Your Highness, what is the meaning of this? I have no enmity with Master Daoyan... eh? Your Highness, could it be that Master Daoyan offended me?... But, why didn't I remember? "

A trace of guilt flashed in Zhu Di's eyes, and then he said impatiently: "Okay, okay, Master Daoyan is just a monk, how can he have a grudge against you, the head of the palace?"

Guo An also breathed a sigh of relief, and replied: "So that's the case, I feel relieved now, how can I have a grudge against Master Daoyan?"

After speaking, Guo An suggested again: "His Royal Highness, I really think that the post of secretary of the academy must belong to Master Daoyan."

"Why?"

Zhu Di asked.

Guo An looked around and replied in a low voice: "Your Highness, I don't want the students taught by the academy to be a group of corrupt Confucians who don't know how to adapt.

"Oh?"

A trace of curiosity flashed in Zhu Di's eyes, "Then what kind of scholars does Guo Qing want the academy to teach?"

Guo An said: "Your Highness, what I expect from them is that the students of the academy will be cheated and abducted from an early age... no, they should be able to manage agriculture, work, and politics...

He is well-informed and will solve problems when he encounters problems, instead of just sitting in the high hall, shirking responsibility when things happen, and bullying and exploiting the people when things happen.Named as a virtuous person, but actually useless..."

Zhu Di's expression changed for a moment, then his eyes glowed, and he said excitedly: "How can there be such a scholar in the world?"

Guo An immediately replied: "Your Highness, yes!"

Zhu Di quickly asked, "Where is the man?"

Guo An: "Your Highness, this is the humble minister!"

Zhu Di: "..."

Some didn't want to pay attention to Guo An, so they changed the subject, "But Master Daoyan is an eminent monk, how can he teach such a student?"

Guo An said seriously: "Your Highness, Master Daoyan is proficient in the three schools of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism. He has traveled around the world since he was a child, visiting various great Confucianism schools, and has become a master of Taoism.

In this way, Master Daoyan must be well-informed and know the affairs of the world.

When a group of mere scholars are handed over to Master Daoyan, even a simple and honest person like Jin Zhong can become smart.

...Of course, what is more important is that Master Daoyan is an eminent monk who has attained the Tao, acted fairly and justly, and is also loyal to His Highness. "

"Let's discuss this matter with Zhu Changshi."

Zhu Di was a little moved.

However, he still felt a little uncomfortable. Although he didn't like reading, he was still obsessed with it.

If a monk got mixed up in a Confucian academy and directly served as a secretary, wouldn't that be a mouse that fell into the rice pot...something...big wrong?
Guo An continued: "I have the courage to ask Your Highness, why did you start building the Academy?"

Zhu Di replied directly: "Naturally, it is to educate the people of Beiping Mansion."

After finishing speaking, he looked at Guo An, "Why did Guo Qing spend so much effort?"

Guo An said: "Your Highness, this humble minister is only for profit."

"Benefit?"

Zhu Di was slightly taken aback.

Guo Andao: "Your Highness, I only know that the construction of an academy can teach me a steady stream of scholars in Beiping Prefecture, and at the same time attract more scholars.

And with these scholars, the land prices around the academy will rise crazily, and the land prices in my Beiping Mansion will also rise.

Similarly, the more they consume, the more money the people of Beiping Mansion can earn...and our Yan Palace can also earn more.

At the same time, we can also show engineering and agronomy to those scholars.

In this way, when those scholars realize that engineering and agronomy can make them earn more money, eat delicious food, and enjoy a better life...they will gradually start to pay attention to engineering and agronomy...

As long as one scholar becomes a craftsman or a farm scholar, more and more scholars will become craftsmen and farm scholars in the future... Our Prince Yan's Mansion has more and more talents available. blood..."

Zhu Di slowly widened his eyes, and looked at Guo An in disbelief.

"Guo Qing, you are... digging the roots of Confucianism!"

Guo An was startled, and shook his head repeatedly, "Your Highness, please don't wrong this minister, I will never dare... I have never had such a bold idea."

Zhu Di said again: "Then you want to turn scholars into craftsmen..."

Guo An sternly said: "Your Highness, I believe that as long as he reads Confucian classics, he is a Confucian scholar, even if he studies craftsmanship, he is also a Confucian disciple, and Confucian disciples should cover everything...

Could it be that a Confucian disciple can only sit cleanly on a chair all day long, holding a book in his hand, shaking his head and reciting it, as a stupid scholar who knows nothing.

None of them have any skills, and can only lead the court's rice and silver all day long.

Then write articles, recite poems, or for some reason can't get along well, so they make trouble everywhere, yell everywhere, and even report on impeaching this and impeaching that, anyway, I just can't see others better than him, and then suck the people's fat and people's ointment..."

Zhu Di's complexion has darkened, but he knows that these scholars are not good enough, and they have the ability to do nothing!

Otherwise, the previous few times, the father would not have killed.

"Your Highness, if Kong Shengren knows that these descendants are using his name to engage in these activities, I am worried that Kong Shengren will be resurrected from anger...

Furthermore, if His Highness spent tens of thousands of taels of silver to build an academy to teach a group of such students, would you be angry? "

Zhu Di said in a deep voice, "We will kill them all one by one."

Guo An said: "That's right, that's why I've thought hard and racked my brains.

I finally discovered that my Peking Academy does not need any great Confucianism, nor does it need to raise a scholar. They only need to make money in a dignified manner, know farming, know business, and if they know how to govern a county and a city. "

Zhu Di asked, "Is Master Daoyan feasible for such a major event?"

Guo An nodded heavily, "Your Highness, the academy has a collection of tens of thousands of books, as long as those scholars can read and write, why can't the sages and philosophies fail to learn?

The academy needs to cultivate their strategy and ability to handle affairs.

In the entire Yanwang Mansion, this matter must belong to Master Daoyan. "

"In addition, although the students admitted by the academy do not need to pay tuition fees, they still need to be notified every year before they enroll.

Every year they are in the academy, they need to work in the fields for five days, or work as deputy shopkeepers for ten days, or serve as officials in various states and counties for twenty days..."

Zhu Di asked: "These scholars are pampered, how can they be willing to do these jobs?"

Guo An said: "Your Highness, if someone is unwilling, they can't come to the academy as a student. Of course, if someone pays to hire those poor scholars from their families to experience this for them..."
