Be a master through ancient times

December 27, afternoon.

Five miles away from Zhangzhou Mansion, Chu Ci got off the carriage and sat back in the sedan chair.The guard of honor, who had been walking a little loosely, suddenly cheered up.

Chu Ci was considerate of their voices and bodies, and asked them to read a few words when there were people, and talk less when there were no one, so as not to overwhelm their throats.This morning, none of them met a single person on the way and had a long rest.Calling it now, it is full of energy!

After a while, they arrived outside the city gate.

Because of the beating and beating all the way, the people in the city knew that they would arrive soon.After Chen Zhixin, the prefect of Zhangzhou, received the news, he arranged for a team of people to meet him at the gate of the city.

After Chu Ci arrived, as soon as he got off the sedan chair, someone came from the other end.The Yacha made a salute to Chu Ci, and then expressed his intention of coming, saying that the magistrate knew that Chu Tixue took office today, so he sent someone to wait here.

Chu Ci thanked him first, then got on the sedan chair, and followed them to the magistrate's yamen.

Chu Ci was at the same level as the magistrate, so when Lu Zhixin saw Chu Ci, he just bowed to him, and Chu Ci did the same, and returned him a hand bow.

"Lord Chu, this is the seal left when I was appointed to the school and handed over. I have kept it for a long time, and now I have finally handed it over again. I thought that Master Chu would come back after a year, but I didn't expect Master Chu to be impatient. , this Tixue Division can’t run away.” Zhifu Lu thought he was humorous.

"Oh, it's not that I'm impatient. It's just that I stayed on the road for several days for various reasons. It was already late, so I didn't dare to delay any longer." Chu Ci pretended not to hear what he said, and explained with a sigh .

"So that's how it is. Then Master Chu must have been exhausted from traveling all the way, so I won't say much, you go back and have a good rest, and wait for the Japanese officials to show their kindness as a landlord tomorrow, and let Master Chu get acquainted with us by the way." The personnel in Zhangzhou Prefecture will be easier to mobilize in the future."

"Then thank you, Mr. Lu, and Chu will not bother you." Chu Ci got up and said goodbye, left the magistrate's yamen, and went to the Department of Education.

At this time, the guard of honor had followed the people sent by the magistrate to the post house to rest, and they were going back to the provincial capital early tomorrow morning.In the future, if the Ci of Chu wants to use guards of honor, they will directly use Zhangzhou Mansion.

The Tixue Yamen and the Zhifu Yamen are separated by a street, and they can be reached in a short while.The back house of Tixue's yamen has always been occupied by people, and the previous Tixue also lived here.After he moved out, the house was vacant.Knowing that Chu Ci would arrive soon, the people in the yamen cleaned up the house and waited for the newly appointed Master Ti Xue to live in.

When Chuci and his party arrived at the Tixue Office, there were already people waiting outside.This person is an official of the Department of Education, named Zhou Qing.Zhou Qing's current official position is Congqipin, and he is in charge of receiving and hosting matters in this tixue yamen, which is equivalent to the logistics department.

He is very enthusiastic about Chu Ci, and he hasn't stopped talking since Chu Ci entered the door. There is a little flattery in his words, but it won't make people disgusted.He was also very good at reading facial expressions, as soon as Chu Ci's affairs were settled, he immediately found an excuse to leave.

Chu Ci looked at the courtyard, it was not as good as the place where he lived in the Imperial College, but it was bigger than the place where Master Qin and the others lived.For now, there are more than enough to live with them.

After Fu Ming'an was settled, Chu Ci asked Zhang Hu to rest quickly.One of them was driving the carriage, and the other was a little uncomfortable. Naturally, their energy was not as good as that of him and Chang Xiao.After they went to rest, Chu Ci and Chang Xiao put away the things they brought, and went to rest separately.

Early the next morning, Zhou Qing came to the door again.Chu Ci handed in a task to him.After receiving the task, Zhou Qing left in a hurry, fearing that there would not be enough time to complete the task.

……

"Master Tixue, these are the rosters of the private schools in our Zhangzhou Prefecture from the government to the villages. There are a total of 140 schools on it." Zhou Qing ordered people to move all the rosters to the desk of the newly appointed Master Tixue. He checks.

People say that there are three fires for a new official to take office, and it is true.This Lord Chu just arrived in Zhangzhou Mansion yesterday afternoon, and he started today.Seeing that the Chinese New Year is coming, today is already 28, why can't he arrive two days later?While complaining in his heart, Zhou Qing arranged the roster on the table so that it would be easier for Chu Ci to see.

Chu Ci nodded to him, motioning him to do his own work.Zhou Qing saluted obediently, and then exited the door.

Chu Ci watched his back leave before picking up a roster and reading it.This first book is the booklet of Zhangzhou Fufu School, which introduces in detail the identities of 25 teachers from the head of the mountain to the master.This identity information includes content such as age, place of origin and degree of education.

After reading the roster, Chu Ci found that Fu Xueshan had the highest level of education. He was born as a Jinshi in Jiayou for 24 years.Most of the next ones are juren, and there are also a few scholars among them.These people are all over the age of 40, presumably because they failed to succeed in many trials, so they came to be teachers.

In addition to these 25 teachers, there are more than 200 students in Fuxue.The teacher-student ratio is very loose, comparable to that of the Imperial College in Kyoto.

In the end, there were a few lists of students attached. Chu Ci only glanced at them, then closed this one and put it aside, and then took out another one from the pile of rosters on the desk.

All morning, Chu Ci sat there holding a book.The stack of rosters that were originally high on the book case has now gone down more than half, and they are listed on both sides of Chuci.

He put down the booklet, closed his sore eyes, relaxed his body slightly, and wanted to lean on the back of the chair for a while.As soon as his stiff back touched the chair, there was a knock on the door outside.

"Come in." Chu Ci opened his eyes, sat up straight, and called out.

"My lord Tixue, someone from the magistrate's yamen came to deliver the post, and the subordinate officer sent it to you." The man who spoke was a little fat, and he smiled very festively.

"Thank you." Chu Ci thanked him, and then said, "I'm new here, I don't know..."

"My lord, my surname is Wang, and my name is Wang Ming." Wang Ming happily introduced himself. He is also a subordinate official of the Tixue Yamen, and is responsible for keeping records and other matters.

Before Zhou Qing ordered someone to come over to move the booklet, he felt a little bad. Could it be that the newly appointed Master Tixue wanted to make an example of others, so he should be the first to start?

The more Wang Ming thought about it, the more flustered he felt, so he took advantage of the matter of handing over the post to find out.

"Oh, you mean that you and the people below are responsible for the registration of these books, right? Then you remember the things on it clearly?" Chu Ci asked.

"Yes, my lord! All the books here are registered and compiled by the officials themselves. The officials remember every item very clearly." Wang Ming said hastily.

"Well, let's talk about the situation of the county schools in Changping County and other academies in the county." Chu Ci grabbed a live list and naturally refused to let it go, which just gave his eyes a rest.

Wang Ming was taken aback for a moment, and then he felt relieved. Fortunately, he didn't exaggerate just now, and he did write down the above content.

So, the next time passed in Wang Ming's mouth...
