My years in the Northern Song Dynasty Guozijian

If time went back a few years ago before Ye An traveled, he would never believe that he hated going to school so much.

Although he was not a top student at Tsinghua University and Peking University in his previous life, he has won a bunch of National Olympiad awards, skipped two levels and finally passed the 985 exam.Teachers and parents say that other people's children often get scholarships even if they go to college.

If Ye An were interviewed, he would be able to write a thesis "On the Psychological Journey of Children Who Are Tired of Learning".His own dyslexia, the expectations of his elders, the ridicule of classmates and teachers, and the pressure and confusion brought by his family, all of which made Ye Xiaoan, who was originally good at liberal arts, feel uncomfortable when he saw books.

And this discomfort reached its apogee when it entered the Guozijian report and was watched by all the teachers.

In fact, transfer students like Ye An are not uncommon in the Guozijian.But there is no impenetrable wall in the world. Everyone has long known that this son was hand-picked by the government, and he entered the Guozijian to study outside the rules.And just a month ago, Master Fan Zhongyan, a political adviser, submitted to Renzong the "Response to Shouzhao and Chen Shishu", and proposed "remove officials, suppress luck, select tributes, select officials, and equalize public land." More than a dozen reform proposals.The admonisher Ouyang Xiu and others also went to talk about things.The officials adopted most of the opinions and intended to implement the New Deal.

Although the fire has not reached the Guozijian, some people have already released a word a few days ago that the officials are very dissatisfied with the gradual decline of the Guozijian and plan to reorganize it.At this time, Ye An has become the official's eyeliner in the eyes of everyone, and this time he is here to inspect the teaching quality on the spot!

Zhang Ming, a doctor of Guozijian who enrolled Ye An, carefully introduced the interior of Guozijian to him. At this time, Guozijian still continued the regulations of the founding of the Song Dynasty.There are three main museums: Taixue, Guangwen, and Law School.

Taixue mainly recruits the children of officials below the eighth rank and civilians with outstanding grades.

The Guangwen Museum is aimed at the children of officials from other places. After passing the insurance certificate examination, they can enter the Guozijian to study, and only recruit students in the year of the imperial examination. After the imperial examination, they will be dismissed.

Jurisprudence has the least number of people, and those who cite law subjects enter jurisprudence.Recruit the second generation of officials above the seventh rank in the capital and the children of honored nobles. Officials and Juren who are willing to learn the law can also enroll, but they have to share a meal and study at a different place from them.

The more Ye An listened, the more confused he became. It seemed that he could only enter the Taixue, but the words "excellent grades" seemed to hit him hard, no matter how cheeky he was, he couldn't catch it, so he could only Ask Dr. Zhang.

Dr. Zhang chuckled and said, "Of course you are going to enter law school." This is a member of the official family, and entering law school as a status is completely enough.

"Then... don't you need to take the exam?" Ye An asked eagerly, if he had to take the exam, he would just lie flat and admit the ridicule.

Zhang Ming glanced at him in surprise: "You are a law student, what did you take the test for?" The law school is just to pass the time for these yamen, are there not many ignorant people in it?

...but I must be the worst of them all.Ye An understood what he meant from the look in the other person's eyes, but Dr. Zhang probably didn't expect that there are still people in the world who are [-] or [-] years old and can still read a thousand-character text.

"Don't worry, your law school has always taken the exam only once every six months, even if your grades are in the bottom, it won't make things difficult for you." Zhang Ming comforted.

This made Ye An heave a sigh of relief, and then inquired about some board and lodging issues.

Zhang Mingdao: "There are school uniforms in the prison, but you are not required to wear them. There are also dormitories, but you can go home at ordinary times. One day off every ten days, if you don't mind eating, you can solve it in the prison. In addition, the boys can't be brought into the classroom. There's nothing else to do."

It seems to be relatively free, Ye An is overjoyed, so maybe he can really develop his own business well, in a market as big as Tokyo, if he really succeeds, he won't be able to make a lot of money every minute.

In fact, I can't blame Ye An'an for getting into money. The grandmother in the family is old. If she has a headache and brain fever, seeing a doctor at this time is a lot of money. I haven't seen the original owner for ten years, and I spent almost all the family property accumulated by several generations of the Ye family. up.He couldn't study well, and now it's the Song Dynasty with a relatively high status. He would be a fool if he didn't make money.

After making up his mind, Ye An quickly pulled himself together, and after getting the necessary items together with Zhang Ming, he got acquainted with the surrounding environment briefly, and then went home, making an appointment to attend class tomorrow.

Not long after Ye An left, Zhang Ming "ran into" many of his colleagues, trying to find out what they were saying.Zhang Ming all practiced Tai Chi to blur the past, he was not angry, hehe, at that time he was afraid of saying the wrong thing and pushing me out, now he wants to be a white wolf with empty hands, it's too late!

In the evening, Liang Guan, the prime minister of the Imperial College, also came to look for him.It's not easy to treat the boss the same as others, so Zhang Ming recounted the matter in detail.Liang Guan stroked the beard on his chin: "So Ye An looks like an ordinary person?"

Zhang Ming thought for a while: "Except for being good-looking, there is nothing special about it. Judging by his words and deeds, he should be a child of ordinary people, and when he was filling out the paperwork, he lived next to the Kaifeng government office. Isn't that area full of public rental housing?" .”

"That's strange," Liang Guan muttered to himself, "Why did the officials send such a child to the Imperial College?"

Zhang Ming was also puzzled, and said after a while, "Then...the Xuan class has the least number of people, so assign him to the Xuan class?"

"No," Liang Guan shook his head, "Send him to Tianban."

Zhang Ming was shocked: "What is this for? There are already enough people in Tianban."

Liang Guan sneered: "Not only do you have to enter the day shift, but you also need to arrange a good position."

Knowing that this was another faction fighting within the Guozijian, Zhang Ming lowered his head and did not dare to make a sound, silently lighting the wax for Ye An.Some of the second-generation ancestors in Tianban are not even considered by the princes. If such a delicate and slender young man goes in for a few days, there may not even be bones left.

As for Ye An, because Zhang Ming thought it was too basic, he didn't tell him what books to bring, so he didn't bother to ask, and was about to send Yuan Bao to inquire about it, but Zhan Zhao had already prepared it for him.

"I asked Mr. Bao in the afternoon. He heard that you were determined to study the law, and he encouraged him very much. He said that the code is a powerful tool for governing the country. The Song Dynasty is short of such talents, so he gave you a book list. I see that you are empty-handed. No, so I bought it on my own." Zhan Zhao said as if he was juggling, and took out a thick stack of books from behind.

Ye An looked at the sea of ​​books in front of him, thanked them tremblingly, and then asked, "Are there so many?"

"It's not over yet. Mr. Bao said that during the Mingfa imperial examination, ten articles from "The Analects of Confucius", ten articles from "Erya" and "Book of Filial Piety", and 25 articles each from "Zhouyi" and "Shangshu". In addition, there are the most important Zhan Zhao shook his head: "This is just the most basic. I heard that the Guozijian has other miscellaneous subjects to learn... Hey, brother An, why are you crying?"

"No... just very happy." Ye An silently wiped away two lines of tears, and now he can only hope that, as Dr. Zhang said, the second-generation ancestor class does not pay attention to grades, otherwise he will definitely go to the street.

Ye An sighed, he had a premonition in his heart that his path to study would not be smooth sailing.

Zhan Zhao asked Yuan Bao to pack all the books, and then asked, "Is Brother An going to live in the Imperial College?"

"Not for the time being," Ye An thought for a while, but still denied: "I see that the teacher who brought me into the school was talking nonsense, and it seems that there are very few people living on campus in the law school. Although it is a bit troublesome, I will go to school first. For a while."

Zhan Zhao nodded: "It's just right. I plan to move into Kaifeng Mansion after a while. This house will not be moved back, so it will be left unused for now. Brother An will take care of it for me if you have time. Your yard is small. If classmates come to play at home, you may You can live with me."

It can be seen that the salaries of officials in the Northern Song Dynasty were very high. A few days ago, Zhan Daxia was still humble, but now he has become rich all at once.But...Brother Zhan, don't you think too much, and even come to play with classmates, probably in his heart, the students of Guozijian are as kind and honest as their hometown.

In his previous life, Ye An was also admitted to aristocratic schools based on his strength. Their entire class was full of top students from poor families like himself. They were completely out of tune with other students, and they seldom even talked to each other.To be honest, he was already prepared to be isolated in school for a long time.Knowing that he had good intentions, Ye An didn't want to disobey him, so he just smiled and agreed.

"Also, this place is so far away from the school, how do you plan to get there every day?" Zhan Zhao asked again.

"Brother, don't worry, I made an agreement with Yi Niu Che two days ago, and I will pick it up at five o'clock every day. As for leaving school, I can walk back by myself, and I will arrive in more than half an hour at a faster pace."

There are generally four ways of short-distance travel in the Song Dynasty, namely horse riding, sedan chair, donkey cart and ox cart.

Horses in the entire Song Dynasty were a scarce resource. Good horses cost several dollars a month to raise, so they were excluded by Ye An first.

As for the sedan chair, it was once banned because of laboring the people and wasting money. However, the economy of the Song Dynasty was prosperous, and the wind of pleasure became more intense, and the ban on riding a sedan chair was gradually relaxed.However, most of them are still women, especially at this time, students like Ye An will always be discussed for substituting humans for animals.

After comparing donkey carts and bullock carts, Ye An still chose the bullock cart. Firstly, it was more stable, and secondly, it was cheaper. It only cost [-] Wen for a month. He couldn't believe the price when he heard the price.

The young man in front of him kept discussing how he felt about coming to the Northern Song Dynasty, Zhan Zhao listened, and gradually revealed a motherly smile (...?).Although the age gap is quite large, An Geer is also considered his best friend in the capital. Seeing him step by step on the right track, Zhan Zhao sincerely hopes that one day he can become a good official pleading for the people like Mr. Bao.

In the end, Ye An cooked the kitchen himself again, and they fell asleep after a satisfying meal.

In the early morning of the next day, Ye An and Yuan Bao got up early, and after finishing their preparations, they waited for the car at the door of their house.This time, I made an agreement with Yuan Bao, and only took him to the gate of the Imperial College to get acquainted with the way, and he would go home first when he went to school.I don't know the specific situation yet, Yuan Bao is outspoken, and he doesn't know how to read people's faces, so he probably won't be able to react when he is really bullied.

Yuan Bao nodded obediently, his mind was slow, but he always obeyed the young master's orders.

Half a day later, the bullock cart finally arrived, and the driver was also a young man, who looked a few years older than Ye An, with dark skin and a very clever appearance.After seeing Ye An, he hurriedly saluted: "The officials have been waiting for a long time. The weather is a bit damp today. The cows walk slowly, but please slow down. I will definitely not wrinkle your clothes."

Ye An nodded, since he came out early, it didn't matter, and then got into the bullock cart with the support of the black-skinned boy.

Then the car moved, Ye An and Yuan Bao closed their eyes and rested in the car.

A quarter of an hour later.

"Master? Is this cow walking too slowly?" Yuan Bao was a little restless. He pulled up the curtain on the car and found that almost all the cars were faster than his side.

Ye An said calmly: "Don't panic, the cow is more docile, it is indeed a bit slow."

Two quarters later.

Ye An forced a smile: "Well, it's really a little bit, it's been so long and I haven't reached half of the distance." Then he shouted outside to make him speed up.

The black-skinned boy responded crisply.

Three quarters later.

"Young Master, there is a woman who is carrying a fat baby and surpassed us =. =" Yuan Bao looked outside and stated the facts.

"Huh, calm down, calm down..." Ping Xin, your sister, Ping Xin!Ye An got mad and jumped out of the car. After landing firmly, he began to question: "Are you a cow! Turtles are faster than him!" No wonder no one cares about only fifty cash a month!

The black-skinned boy blinked his eyes and said innocently: "Don't be angry, high officials. My Heizi is old and walks slowly, but how do you say that? It's all stable!"

The old black cow also made a cooperative "moo--" and was about to lick people when it went up.Ye An quickly jumped away, he knew that he was being slaughtered, and he blamed him for being cheap.

"Then... high official, do you still sit in this car?"

"Sit! Why don't you sit after spending money!" Ye An gritted his teeth, he couldn't swallow this breath.

The black-skinned boy was also stunned for a moment, he didn't expect the other party to be so stubborn, and then he smiled and said: "Okay, sir, go up."

Ye An got into the car angrily, memorized the mathematical formula in his heart, and forcibly diverted his attention.

When they arrived at the Imperial College, it was almost half an hour late for the scheduled class time.The black-skinned boy sat in the car and waved his hands: "Master, I'll pick you up early tomorrow."

Ye An didn't want to talk to him, and after asking where he was in class, he ran away with his bookcase on his back.

If you are going to die, you will be late on the first day of school. If you are modern, you will definitely accept the passionate diss from the head teacher.

When Ye An rushed to the Law School panting, facing the empty classroom, he was completely stunned, did he go to the wrong place?Or did they all go to other classes?

"Are you Ye An?" Suddenly someone behind him stopped him.

Looking back, I saw a round-faced boy in Confucian uniform looking at him suspiciously, his eyes focused on the abnormally large bookcase behind him.

Ye An nodded and said, "It's me."

The round-faced boy also seemed to see that he was quite nervous, and smiled gently: "My name is Fan Chunren, and I am the head of Tianzi Zhai. I heard that you are going to school on the first day today, so I took it upon myself to show you around."

Ye An quickly thanked, and then asked: "I don't know where the students are, but they went to another class?" This is clearly written on the class schedule.

"Ah," Fan Chunren understood, and spread his hands helplessly: "I guess the teacher didn't make it clear to you. The first class is self-study, and the students in our class have never been able to come. There will be someone."

Ye An: "..." It can only be said that it really deserves to be the gathering place of the second generation ancestors.

Although Fan Chunren looks ordinary, he treats others with politeness and makes people feel like a spring breeze. He introduced some precautions in detail, which benefited Ye An a lot.However, Ye An also found that his eyes were always unconsciously staying on his bookcase, so he asked if there was any problem.

Fan Chunren smiled embarrassedly: "It's nothing, it's just that I haven't seen this thing for a long time, and I miss it."

"Huh? Then where do you put everyone's books?" Ye An was puzzled.

"Guozijian was originally the place where books were printed in the Song Dynasty. There are all kinds of books. Most of them are distributed in class and then taken back later." Fan Chunren added: "However, the students in Tianzizhai don't read much."

Ye An: "..."

The author has something to say:
