Straight man of steel

Chapter 289
"You mean that Zhang Yuan also set up an assessment system in Taixue?"

In the gloomy palace, strands of candlelight floated faintly. Liu Che sat on the upper seat, and Zhang Tang stood bent over at the bottom. Other than that, there was no one else in the palace.

"Yes, Your Majesty.

Taixueling seems to regard himself as the master of Taixue, and doesn't even take you seriously. "

Zhang Tang's answer did not make Liu Che feel angry, on the contrary, it made Liu Che feel a little too deliberate, and the displeasure in his heart was also aimed at Zhang Tang.

"You just need to tell me the matter, and you don't need to make a judgment for me, do you understand?"

Feeling Liu Che's sharp eyes sweeping over his body, Zhang Tang couldn't help shaking, and then knelt down on the ground.

"Your Majesty, I will die."

Liu Che was just used to making judgments by himself, and didn't really want to do anything to Zhang Tang, at least when he was still useful.

"Okay, get up.

Go back and monitor every move in the Taixue carefully. Since I have already let the Taixue be handed over to Zhang Yuan, I don't have to care about it. "

Only then did Zhang Tang dare to stand up and make a promise, and walked out tremblingly.

Liu Che closed his eyes and smiled playfully.

"Yearly exam, quarterly exam, monthly exam? Interesting."

Inside the Taixue of Du County.

Sure enough, just as Zhang Yuan thought before, some students came here for the purpose of becoming officials and studying knowledge, not for the study of Confucian classics.

430 Two Students Even after all the previous things, there were still more than 100 students left who were not under the disciples of various doctors and lecturers.

It is naturally more difficult for them to complete the assessment than ordinary people, but it is only a little, because every day there will be doctors and lecturers giving lectures in the front hall.

Even if Zhang Yuan produces the test paper, the test is nothing more than the content of the Five Classics, and there is no way to change this.

If you want to change, the first thing to do is to make an enemy of Dong Zhongshu.

The Taixue that Dong Zhongshu wanted was Confucianism, not Legalism, nor Taoism.

He can tolerate Zhang Yuan adding the three subjects of arithmetic, heavenly officials, and history, but he absolutely does not allow "Tao Te Ching" or "Han Feizi" and "Shang Junshu" to appear in the assessment content of Taixue.

Zhang Yuan believed that the only consequence of what he did would be that he would be taken down.

These more than 100 students are not to say that they are better than others, the most important thing is that the doctor of the Five Classics cannot help me more, and it may even cause some unnecessary entanglements and troubles because of the mentorship.

"Teacher, since the students know that the students are under your sect, this is already the No. 40 second person who wants to learn from you."

Yan Yi stood beside Zhang Yuan with a calm expression on his face, watching his teacher hold a copy of Daya from the Book of Songs and sing it with relish.

It seemed that he didn't care about his own problems, but Yan Yi was also a person who didn't talk much, so he fell silent after saying this sentence.

Zhang Yuan sighed softly, those who wanted to become his disciples wanted to develop their career in the future.

There is a doctor Qing in Taixue who still accepts apprentices. Whoever still worships under the doctor of the Five Classics will become a fool.

"You go and tell them that I don't accept students anymore.

If they are blocked at the door like this, their usual performance scores will probably not be too high. "

"Are you telling the truth about the last sentence?"

"Correct."

A blatant threat caused the people who wanted to come to apprentice to the teacher to disperse at once.

It seems that the threat of being ordered to drop out of school is still relatively large, and Zhang Yuan has nothing to teach them. With so many students, does it take up the proportion of the Taixueling's mansion all day long?

Yan Yi went out to drive away those students, then came back honestly and stood beside Zhang Yuan, waiting for Zhang Yuan's orders at any time.

"Do you think I haven't taught you anything since I accepted you as an apprentice?"

Zhang Yuan felt a little embarrassed, so he turned his head and asked Yan Yi.

"The students have learned a lot. If they want to learn the content of the Five Classics, the students have already worshiped under the doctor of the Five Classics."

"Then you also want to be an official?"

"A real man was born in this world, read the books of sages, if he didn't plead for the people, why bother to go through such a life."

Zhang Yuan didn't know his student very well, but seeing him not hiding anything, and directly expressing his innermost desires, he felt that he could do it.

You must know that just now, a bunch of Taixue students who wanted to be officials were driven away.

"That's right, but I can't teach you much about being an official.

Nowadays, to be an official, one must either hold a three-foot green sharp edge and travel thousands of miles in Mobei, or have a honey sword or a three-inch tongue.

I can't teach you these two things. The only thing I can teach you is to work hard in the fields. Only by being such an official can you say that you are for the people. "

Zhang Yuan thought for a while, and pointed out a way for Yan Yi.

"The teacher wants me to pursue a career in agriculture and mulberry?"

"Yes, this road may be hard, or you may not get much fame and fortune, but it is the most practical road.

When the people are full, they will not rebel, and the world will be stable.

If the common people can have surplus food while they are full, they will have extra energy to do other things, and the economy will be revitalized.

If there is surplus food in the world, the people will not be shaken even if the imperial court imposes corvée or sends troops to fight, and will still stand firmly on the side of the emperor.

Regardless of any dynasty, as long as the people can eat enough, it will be a prosperous age. "

Yan Yi couldn't understand these things, the most important thing was the word economy, which he had never heard or seen before.

However, he was able to decipher Zhang Yuan's general meaning, and the most important thing was the last sentence.

"The students never had these experiences."

"There is nothing to learn, otherwise what do you want my teacher to do?"

"Students follow the teacher's arrangement."

Zhang Yuan was about to continue to say something when there was a sudden panic outside the door, so he got up and went to have a look.

This door is not outside the Taixueling's mansion, but outside the courtyard where Zhang Yuan lives, which means that the place of panic is inside the Taixueling's mansion.

When Zhang Yuan went out, he found that some officials from Taixue were talking there, and when they saw Zhang Yuan coming out, they immediately fell silent.

"What are you arguing about?"

Zhang Yuan asked aloud.

"Reporting to Taixue Ling, I just got the news that the Yellow River broke its embankment in Dongjun.

Sixteen counties were affected by the disaster, and we are discussing whether to reduce the needs of Taixue students. At this time, the imperial court should need food and grass for disaster relief. "

Zhang Yuan frowned when he heard this.

He knew about it and remembered it clearly.

Liu Che didn't have a few poems handed down at all, and two of them were written because of the Yellow River's embankment breach. How could Zhang Yuan not remember clearly.

Although his face was ugly, he was still very relieved that the officials in Taixue were able to think of reducing expenses to support the disaster area.
