I was a gentleman in ancient times

Spring is warm and flowers are blooming, and two carriages are slowly advancing on the road.

This carriage is different from the carriages of today. It is not a flat plate surrounded by three railings, but a small house in a square shape, with flowered window curtains, and the people in the carriage cannot be seen.

"This carriage is really novel, but which one does it belong to?" a passer-by wondered.

"Hush! Keep your voice down, haven't you seen the family crest on the carriage? Don't let the trouble come out of your mouth."

"I didn't say anything bad, why did the trouble come out of my mouth?" The man was still not convinced.

"Tsk tsk! I'm just reminding you with good intentions. The Tao family in Yingyang City, it's best to stay away."

The man earlier turned pale with shock, "What? The Tao family, but that Tao family?" He couldn't read, so he couldn't tell which family the badge on the carriage belonged to.

"How many Tao families are there in Yingyang City?"

The man slapped his head, "Oh! No wonder, it's just that there are big names from the Tao family here in our small place?"

"Who knows? He's just passing by. You really think that the noble Tao family will come to this poor place."

Wei Su and Tao Fu sat in the first carriage. There was a low table between them with a chessboard on it. Most of the chess pieces were already placed on the chessboard. Black and white were mixed together, and it seemed that there was no winner.

The layout of the carriage is very luxurious and comfortable, people can sit and lie in it without being tired.

"It's really a blessing to be able to make such a carriage, otherwise such a long journey, people would be exhausted." Tao Fu said with emotion.

Thinking back, when they left Yingyang, there was no such a good carriage, and they suffered a lot due to the bumpy journey.Now there is such a carriage, which can shelter from the wind and rain, and it is much more convenient no matter where you go, and you can lie down for a while when you are tired, which cannot be more comfortable.

They are going to Yingyang City. The reservoir in Yunshui Village has been built a few months ago, and the effect is very good.There is no need to use water to store the water directly. When the water is needed to irrigate the ground, the valve can be opened to flow into the ground along the ditch, and the villagers can guide it directly in the field. It is really convenient and practical.

There was no longer a dispute over water sources. The two villages shook hands and made peace. The Baishui County government also specially commended this achievement for benefiting the people.Wei Su did not show up, and Tao Fu and Duan Mutu led the village elders to bear it all.

In the past six months, Wei Su has already adapted to the life here.Every day, I read and memorize books and documents, and my life is quite comfortable.

This trip to Yingyang City was already planned. Wei Su had only one younger sister in his family, so he was naturally worried about leaving her alone at home. Since he was going to Yingyang, he would definitely take her with him.

This house didn't have any valuables, Wei Su and Wei Zhen brothers and sisters cleaned up for a while, and brought all the usable ones with them.Wei Zhen was reluctant to part with her brother. He heard from her brother that she might not come back after going to Yingyang City. After all, this ancestral house was left by her parents, how could she give it up so easily?

It was Wei Su who persuaded him for several days and promised to come back to see it in the future, which made Wei Zhen feel better.

Wei Su went to Yingyang City this time, regardless of whether he could enter Yingyang Academy or not, he planned to stay in Yingyang for a while.We all know that there must be more opportunities in big cities than in small counties.Even if he can't get into Yingyang Academy, finding a job in Yingyang City can make his sister's life better.

The road ahead is unknown, although Tao Fu helped guide the way, but the real way is to walk by oneself.

Wei Su obviously didn't worry too much about his future, he was optimistic from beginning to end.

Hearing Tao Fu's exclamation, Wei Su circled the chess piece in his hand, and finally landed on the chessboard. He said with a smile, "Of course, it's a pity that there is no shock absorption, otherwise the comfort will be better."

The carriage was drawn by Wei Su and made by Duanmutu himself. Compared with the previous carriages, it can at least keep out the wind and rain.It's just that this carriage still has a lot of problems in Wei Su's view, but you can't be too picky about being a human being, and it is already the best in terms of today's technology.

Tao Fu was curious about what the shock absorber was, but Wei Su couldn't explain it for a while, so he could only vaguely explain it.

Tao Fu didn't ask any more questions. There are many mysterious things about Wei Su, all attributed to that mysterious senior.But Tao Fu always had a little doubt, but no matter how he thought about it, even if there were countless possibilities, it was impossible, and only Wei Su's statement was the most reasonable.

Wei Su didn't want to talk about the question, so he started to change the subject, "Mr. Yunshui, can you tell me about Yingyang City?" Tao Fu came out of Yingyang City, so of course he knows best.Wei Su didn't want to dive in rashly and bump into walls everywhere. It would be most beneficial to know more about the local conditions.

Tao Fu stared at the chess game, looked up at him when he heard the words, thought for a while and said, "Yingyang City is mainly controlled by the four great families, Wang, Xie, Cui, and Tao."

Wei Su was surprised, he didn't expect the Tao family to be one of the four great families.

"The four masters together control the balance of Yingyang City, and their children are in high positions in various countries, and are deeply respected by the monarchs of all countries. It is even more proud in this world to be able to marry our four masters. It can be said that the four masters of Yingyang are the most powerful people in the world. The first family."

"Hiss!" Wei Su gasped. Although he had thought that the power of the nobles of the four great families would not be underestimated, the sound was still shocking.

The reason why a big family became a family is because of the inheritance of culture and the spare no effort to cultivate the children of their own clan.With such luxuriant branches and leaves and continuous development, it will naturally reach a certain height over time.

A family like this is generally very exclusive. Tao Fu came from the Tao family, so he naturally understands the rules here.And he is just a commoner, why would Tao Fu spare no effort to help himself?Not only let myself go in and out of the library to read books at will, but also borrow them for him and provide him with convenience.When something goes wrong, there must be a demon. What is Tao Fu's purpose?

Wei Su rubbed his chin, not because he was suspicious, but because Tao Fu's behavior was puzzling.If it is just to thank myself for not taking credit for the water source in Yunshui Village, it can be solved with money like Dr. Zhou, so why bother, and go there for myself.

Wei Su didn't like to beat around the bush. If he couldn't figure it out, he might as well just ask directly.

Seeing Wei Su's appearance, Tao Fu would not give up until he found out why.Shaking his head, he said, "If a family wants to prosper and prosper, it needs talents from generation to generation, and to cultivate a talent, the manpower and material resources consumed are unimaginable. You know that our Tao family has already had Compared with the other three families, our Tao family has fallen from the second place in the family to the last one. It is because the descendants of the younger generation are not too outstanding. If this continues, the Tao family will fall out of the The four major families will naturally be replaced by upstarts, and by that time the Tao family will be left alone."

"This problem is already well known within our Tao family, and the family has been trying to solve it for a long time. Needless to say, there are high-quality resources for the younger generations in the family, and there are also those who choose talented children from side branches and focus on training them. "

"The old man has a different point of view from them. Since talents are needed, why should they be classified as Tao? There are still smart children among the common people, why not choose the best? If they can cultivate some useful people, why can't the Tao family use them?"

Wei Su clicked his tongue, Tao Fu's idea seems to be too rebellious now, to cultivate common people's children, I'm afraid anyone will think that his brain is broken.The resources of their nobles are too late to hide, so how can they cultivate people who are beyond reach.

"Because of disagreement, I came out in a fit of anger, thinking that I could realize my own ideas by myself, but for so many years, I have achieved nothing." Tao Fu sighed.

Wei Su was thoughtful, "That's why the private school built by the master accepts the children of Yunshui Village?"

Tauff nodded silently.

Wei Su's heart shuddered, and he was in awe, how many people in the world could break through the world's prejudices and achieve this step?Book culture is in the hands of a few people, and it is even more difficult for ordinary people to get in touch with it.Wei Su was able to have a foundation of literacy, and it was luck that he met someone like Tao Fu.Although Tao Fu also has considerations for the Tao family, it is a great act of kindness to break the cultural shackles.

He bowed his hands to Tao Fu, and said with emotion: "Mr. is able to teach without discrimination, it is the luck of the world."

"Teaching without discrimination! Teaching without discrimination! Hey..." Tao Fu shook his head, "I'm still far away! But it's a blessing to be able to teach without distinction, and to achieve my wish."

Wei Su said sincerely: "Boy, thank you Mr. Yunshui in advance, I am what I am today." If there is no Tao Fu, how can the original owner know how to read and write?I came here through time travel, even if I am a cultural person, how would I dare to reveal my secrets casually?Others don't want to be burned to death with a fire as a monster.

"In fact, the original intention of the Holy Master to create the Yingyang Academy may not be like this, so that everyone can read and write, and enlighten the people's wisdom. It's just that it was controlled by the aristocratic family. Until now..." Tao Fu shook his head, now Yingyang Academy has become the first university palace in the world, which has long been contrary to the original intention of the most holy teacher.He sighed and couldn't speak anymore.

"This matter cannot be achieved by one person alone. If you want to change the current situation, you can only change it fundamentally." Wei Su, seeing Tao Fu's depression, persuaded him.

Even in later generations, with such a perfect system, it took decades to popularize education.Today, the world is divided, and the systems and administrations of different countries are different. Coupled with the control of the nobles, it is indeed difficult to be effective.

Think about every change in history, which one was not a bloodbath?Take your time, maybe plant a seed and wait a few generations for it to germinate.

Tao Fu sighed and waved his hands, "Stop talking about that, let's play chess and chess."

Wei Su didn't say much anymore.The road ahead is long, and the road ahead is still long.
