Chapter 42: Yuanlu Academy
In May, the pomegranate flowers are alluring, and the green poplars are raining heavily.

On this day, the dawn is faint, and everything begins.

Fu Xuan followed Fu Qian out the door sleepily.

The carriage was driving on the way to Yuanlu Academy, Fu Qian asked: "It's been five days, look at you, you are still not used to getting up early, do you really want to give up?"

Fu Xuan covered her mouth and yawned, and said in a teary-eyed voice: "Brother Qian, didn't you tell me before that a mayfly can't shake a big tree, but an ant's nest can break a thousand-mile embankment. I'm an ant , and you haven’t dug a few holes yet, so it’s too early to give up.”

Fu Qian laughed hoarsely, "I said why you want to go with me because you can't get up, but you forgot, you are a bright-eyed person, and you know the reason why my father established this private school."

Fu Xuan bared her teeth and smiled at him, "Uncle always said 'When will this big beam really brighten up the world and clean up the sea and the river?', I listened to it a lot, so I naturally understood."

If you want to talk about why Fu Yiwen, who was born in martial arts, set up an academy, the reason is naturally inseparable from the court.

The dynasty of Daliang Kingdom is still "the upper rank has no poor families, and the lower rank has no noble families", and the selection of officials mainly depends on family background.

Aristocratic families do not want their rights to be divided by others. In order to maintain the status and prosperity of the family and check and balance the imperial power, they are particularly determined to attack the subordinates.

They attach great importance to family education, set up family schools, and set up family schools, with rich teaching contents such as Confucianism, metaphysics, Buddhism, Taoism, literature and history, and art.But the objects of these private schools have always been limited to the family.

The Daliang court established official residence schools—Tai Xue and Guo Xue, but they were all occupied by the gentry without exception.

As for Bai Ding, who has no official position, and those who are slaves, it is even more impossible to know how to read.

If things go on like this, the aristocratic family will only become stronger and stronger, and the imperial power will undoubtedly become weaker and weaker.

The minister is strong and the master is weak, which will only deepen the internal friction, which is not conducive to the long-term stability of a country.

There is Dazhou State in the north of Daliang, and Nanyue State in the west. These two countries once occupied a lot of territory in Daliang.So far, they are still eyeing Daliang, hoping that Daliang will become chaotic, and the more chaotic the better, so that they can take advantage of others' danger.

It is absolutely impossible to increase internal worries and attract foreign troubles.

Now, because of his military merits, Fu Yiwen has won the attention of the former emperor and the new emperor Mu Andi, and he has been promoted to the first rank of Taiwei. He has power in his hands and has money, so he vows to change this unhealthy atmosphere.

Therefore, following the rectification of the household registration policy, he proposed that Taixue and Guoxue should open up virtuous paths, give opportunities for people other than the children of the gentry to learn, and strive to popularize education.

Not without surprise, the courtiers who were the main force of the aristocratic family strongly opposed it, and Emperor Mu'an rejected the Taiwei's proposal.

If this road doesn't work, if you ask questions, you'll find the next best thing.He played, asking the imperial court and localities to jointly build township schools and set up schools in various places in ten prefectures.

It is true that running a local school depends on the cooperation of local officials, and most of those local officials are involved with aristocratic families.The aristocratic family has enough confidence to block his way, so Fu Yiwen is also allowed to operate.

Fu Yiwen obtained the holy will, and then set off for Shizhou, planning to personally discuss the matter with the local governors and county governors.

At the same time, he also took the lead in setting an example by preparing his own funds for private schools with no entry threshold.

Therefore, "Yuanlu Academy" came into being.

**
The earth is spinning and the sky is spinning, and everything is difficult at the beginning.

People from aristocratic families in Jiankang City disdain to come here to teach, and there are very few people who have real knowledge outside the aristocratic family. The most lacking thing in this new academy is the teacher.

Forced by the situation, Saburo Fuqian, the most talented and knowledgeable member of the Fu family, stepped forward to host Yuanlu Academy.

At the same time, Fu Yiwen invited Chang Qu as his teacher.

Chang Qu, who is over sixty years old and knowledgeable, is from the old land of Western Shu.

Xishu was originally the land lost by Daliang, and it was occupied by the Great Zhou for several years. Back then, Fu Yiwen conquered the west and recovered this land for Daliang.This Chang Qu was one of the few literati who came to Jingzhou from Western Shu with help and asked questions, and then moved to Jiankang City.

Now, teachers, houses, and students are all available, and everything is ready, and Yuanlu Academy starts.

**
Yuanlu Academy will be established, and there are not a few students. If you add them all together, you can count them with two hands.

They all come from Baiding's family, and there is a huge age difference between them, ranging from four or five years old to a dozen or so.But the same thing is that they are all illiterate, and most of them have a strong curiosity about the "knowledge" that they don't understand.

I am even more interested in teaching aids such as piano, poems, paintings, and chess, which they rarely come into contact with, or even have never seen before.

No, Chang Qu will appear holding a painting, and several people swarm up, chattering non-stop.

A student who was about the same stature as Chang Qu, with delicate features and dark complexion, dressed in lange cloth with narrow sleeves and short brown, stepped forward and asked with a bold smile: "Chang Daolang, which master did you secretly copy today?" s things?"

Hearing the word "steal", everyone roared with laughter.

This is a common occurrence at Yuanlu Academy.

The real masterpieces of masters are all circulated among famous families, but not among the people at all.Yuanlu Academy has an excellent resource, which is the support of Mo Xi's Study Studio.

Occasionally, in private, Mo Xi's study would receive copies of masterpieces by famous masters sent by people with short money to sell.Yuanlu Academy has this convenience, and can show these students some such copies to increase their vision and self-cultivation.

The students kept laughing, Chang Qu coughed lightly, raised his arms and pressed down to stop their boiling emotions.

Then he glared at the young man, stroked his goatee, and argued a little uncomfortably: "Why is it stealing? It's just a reference! Besides, this painting has been spread all over the city, so I just went to the study I drew a picture, only for display and learning purposes, not for other purposes.”

The young man bowed respectfully, smiled again and said, "Chang Daorang, this student has offended you."

Chang Qu snorted, this was not the first time he had offended.

He waved his hand to let everyone sit down, hung the painting on the house pillar, raised the ruler, tapped up, down, left, and right in front of the painting, and began to explain it seriously.

Holding the book, Fuxuan passed by the "Wenshutang" where Chang Qu's voice came from, and happened to hear "This person is amazingly talented, and is known as the current No. 1 Liang Fenghua..."

Her walking steps stopped suddenly.

Chang Daolang is talking about... Xie Zhan?
Out of curiosity, Fu Xuan walked lightly to Wenshutang, leaned against the open window, and took a look inside.

In an instant, she stood on the spot, dumbfounded——

Xie Zhan gave her a birthday gift, why did it appear here?
Fu Xuan rubbed her eyes in disbelief, and looked over again.

 Note 1: "May pomegranate flowers are coquettishly baked, green poplars are drooping with rain, and five-color new silk is wrapped around corners." —— Ouyang Xiu, "Fisherman's Pride · May pomegranate flowers coquettishly baked"

  Note 2: Lecturer: Originally an official who taught scriptures. "Book of the Later Han Dynasty Rulin Biography": "Also ordered the high-caliber students to accept the "Guwen Shangshu"...Although there are no academic officials, they are all promoted to be lecturers." This is a title for a teacher.
