Dress to be a celebrity

No official is light.

The days after leaving the center were indescribably relaxed and happy.

The two of them do not intend to re-enter the imperial court with geological and mineral maps, so the itinerary is not very tight:

He was lazy to go out during the winter and summer vacations, so he stayed at home to write papers and help his father take care of the students.In that school, there were female teachers who came back from the Hanzhong Mansion to apply for the job. They just taught each other, and they didn't occupy much of their body.

When the weather is good, I will go to other provinces by car and boat, and sometimes I will go to a beautiful place with a horse and a horse, and I can linger on the scenery.When they met someone who sang Song Huan's story in the local area, the two of them heard that there was something wrong, and they would leave a few travel notes they wrote for others to revise accordingly.

Even in ancient times when transportation, accommodation, and catering conditions were not so good, traveling was still a pleasant thing.

I don’t know how many famous mountains and rivers left snacks like Sanyuan cakes and Huanhou noodles; The silver swindler sent to the local government...

Because they still held the official titles of Yushi and Hanlin, they were treated as half imperial envoys by the local government after leaving Beijing, and they were picked up by cars when they went in and out, which was similar to the treatment they received angels when they were local officials.

Perhaps because they are not censors who come to check schools, official warehouses, and taxation, they are also good at local civil affairs. Officials from all over the country ask them to give advice on how to enrich the government and the people. They treat them like students meeting famous teachers for the first time.

In the Song Dynasty, there were geological and mineral maps of various places 500 years later in his mind, and domestic travel routes 500 years later and tourist souvenirs of local specialties were hidden in his chest. He could accurately guide the governments of various places to do business:

The oil fields in Dagang, the iron mines in Handan, the coal in Tangshan, the phosphate mines in Jizhen... the products in Beizhili alone are enough to build an industrial circle that can supply various prefectures.Farther away, there are manganese mines in Henan, coal, iron, oil and gas in Shanxi, tungsten mines in Jiangxi, tin and mercury in Hunan...

When Song Dynasty was out pointing the country, Huan Ling took the teachers and students from government schools and private educational institutions at home, and prepared him food and clothing, cars and sedan chairs, folding parasols, dry and wet towels... He was taken care of properly, meticulously, and no one could see him. I also want to praise "raise the eyebrows".

All the censors worked hard in Beijing to write articles and revise dramas to make their relationship known to the world. However, when these two people went around outside, the new articles rapped in local tabloids and Washe Goulan were enough to overwhelm those famous works.

Song Shi flipped through the freshly delivered tabloid in the morning, and hooked Huan Ling's eyes with a smile: "It's really not easy to be a celebrity. You'll be in the newspaper every now and then, and someone will make up stories about you. You don't even bother to find out the truth. How do you want to write it?" Just write it down. Tomorrow we have to tell the local officials..."

He didn't think it at first, but since he confessed to Chu and Ma Erchangshi once, he fell in love with the broken-down look of others when they knew about their relationship in marriage.

Tsk tsk tsk, it's all because the little brother is too virtuous, otherwise why do you always give him the chance to explain to others?

Huan Ling glanced at the newspaper, and said with a smile: "It's not my fault, they will write like this if I don't take care of it for you. Who told me that my junior brother is an unparalleled talent in the world? If I want you to take care of me every day I, those people don’t know where to write.”

Write as others like.Compared to sitting in the study and waiting for Song Shi to serve tea and water, and red sleeves to add fragrance, he prefers to hold his junior in his arms and take care of him personally so that he stretches out his clothes and opens his mouth when he eats...

At that time, the official was a person who did great things, so why bother him with trivial housework and a little gossip from outsiders?

Huan Ling opened his arms and smiled tolerantly: "Shiguan'er, sit here, and third brother will read the newspaper for you." Third brother can read whatever he wants, without worrying about the mess written in the newspaper.

Uncle Song has been a man for two generations, he is psychologically old, and knows how to take care of the emotions of young people, so he followed Huan Ling's mind and snuggled into his arms, his eyes slightly closed, listening to him read in a low and gentle voice, I don't know if it was written by a local student Or his improvised article.

His cheek was leaning on Huan Ling's shoulder, and when he raised his eyes, he could see the little brother's Adam's apple moving slightly, and felt the slight tremor of the shoulder and chest muscles he was leaning on.The movement of his arms folded and flipping through the pages of the newspaper deepened the embrace time and time again, and the sound of paper pages passing through his sleeves resounded into people's hearts in a trifling manner, which weakened the untrue stories he read. became the background sound.

Their own life is better than anyone else's story, why listen to someone else's story?

================

They no longer care about how outsiders make up their stories, and live the days of gods and couples.However, the imperial court and even the world are gradually changing in the endless stories, with them as the protagonist or supporting role, or passers-by in the background, or even just the author of the introductory article.

Originally, only a small number of practical and welcoming officials built industrial parks in the local area, and listed industry and commerce as the local pillars of the same importance as agriculture. Gradually, more and more places and wealthy households developed industries, and farmland also used industrialized farm tools. , fertilizers and pesticides.Local road construction has also changed from loess pads and bluestone pavements to flat avenues of cement and sand. The cost and manpower used for road construction have been greatly reduced, and the sight of three feet of yellow sand being blown up by the wind on a sunny day is no longer seen.

Where there is a factory in a place, it needs to recruit workers. Those who have no land earn money, and those who have land collect more grain, so they have to support their children to study.

In private schools, there are many masters who can teach Song Huan Neo Confucianism, and teach children arithmetic and physics since childhood.In the public schools, many students form literary clubs, pool money to build laboratories, and ask Taoist priests who are used to alchemy to help them copy the experiments in the books and learn a little bit of physics and chemistry by themselves.

There are also "economic colleges" built in imitation of Hanzhong in various places. The colleges are connected with each other, and famous Hanzhong experts are invited to teach.If they found out where Song Huan and the others went, they would even send someone to study with them for a few years.

The national unified examination that Song Shi missed appeared a few years earlier than he had imagined.

Supplementary books and simulation questions from all over the country have also sprung up like mushrooms after rain.The turbidity is mixed with mud and sand. How can the two founders of the education field bear to see these students being misled by fake teaching materials?

It is unavoidable to take those students who take the initiative to come to study and form a textbook compilation group to compile two sets of unified mathematics, physics and chemistry textbooks——

One set is for elementary school students who are still young and their brains are not fully developed, and they must learn step by step and slowly; the other set is for adults who have studied for many years and are willing to learn modern science by themselves.The two sets of textbooks only have some changes in the words used, and the length of study is different, but the results are the same. After a few years of patience, they can reach the level of the unified examination.

For the examination papers, the mock papers are compiled first, and then the real questions are collected year after year.

The textbooks and examination papers were compiled during their study tours, but they quickly spread to academies and schools all over the country, and even spread to Beijing and Central China, where they became the new favorites of the ministers who are familiar with each other.

Soon after, the prince, who was on a mission in the Ministry of Rites, went to the book to ask the court to open new subjects in the spring, so that those who are proficient in Dazheng's new Confucianism can also have the opportunity to enter the court as officials.

Although the prospects of officials with miscellaneous backgrounds are not as good as those of serious Jinshi, it is also an opportunity for more scholars to advance, and it is also good for the capital and local governments to select and send some solidly educated people who can be used.

Emperor Xintai read the memorial, called his son to the front of the hall, stroked his back and said: "My son has a long-term perspective and is good at accepting talents. He really lives up to my teachings over the years. But the scientific research is the fundamental plan of the court. , this Huan-Song Confucianism is also a study that has never existed in the previous dynasties, and it needs to be combined with the six parts, and it should be carried out slowly."

The prince will preside over the opening of new subjects, so he can see how far his son, who has been cultivating half his life, can go now.

The prince bowed and saluted, and solemnly promised: "My son will never disappoint my father's expectations."

On the day of the examination, I invited the two uncles to come back to Beijing to invigilate the examination in person, cut off all possibility of cheating, and definitely select the available talents for the imperial court!

Two years later, when Enke reopened, Song Shi and Huan Ling stayed in the middle of the capital to pass the examination papers, and won the first batch of officials from the new department in Dazheng.After the next three-year test, more and more students were admitted with new subjects. The two of them gradually let go of the scientific test and only concentrated on prospecting and drawing in the private sector, researching large-scale machinery that can improve the national economy and people's livelihood.

Unknowingly, the capital and the major prefectures have gradually acquired a modern atmosphere: from the palace to various government offices, workshops, and wealthy people can use electricity, oil and gas energy machines, and enjoy unprecedented convenience and comfort.

The national economy and the people's livelihood, in the final analysis, are nothing more than basic necessities of life.Now these four things have been completely changed by the new electricity and machinery, and the old Neo-Confucianism has been gradually abandoned. Song Huan Neo-Confucianism, which talks about physics, has become more and more important in the government and the opposition.

A few years later, the new emperor ascended the throne, added Enke, and actually added the new Neo-Confucianism to the general examination, and selected scholars with both arts and sciences from the world's scholars to enter the court as officials.

It is difficult for Confucian scholars who only read old scriptures to embark on the road to heaven, but young talents who have studied the new Neo-Confucianism in various colleges or are self-taught poured into the court, injecting new vitality into the dynasty that has gone through more than a hundred years. new vitality.

However, Song Shi and Huan Ling, who are called the masters of the world, still passed their small life leisurely, but replaced the horse-drawn carriage they used to travel with with a high-chassis diesel locomotive, which made it easier and faster to travel between the capital and other provinces.

The new emperor also issued an order to call them back to the court, and there were also old and familiar colleagues who followed their new disciples and persuaded them to become officials: Even if Huan Ling refused to be an official because of his status as the uncle of the country, Song Shi was surnamed Song. It has nothing to do with the Zheng royal family, so it is not necessary to resign.

He is a celebrity in the world, why don't he be loyal to the imperial court for a few years, and change his status as a university scholar to become an official?

He is a celebrity in the world...

Since everyone praised him unanimously, Song Shi felt ashamed to accept this status, and thanked all his colleagues who loved and respected him: In the past, he read the sayings of the world, and he read Wang Gong's talk about celebrities, which was very suitable for him.You don't have to be a genius to be a celebrity, and of course you don't have to be in a high position, but you have to have nothing to do... nothing to do...

But if there is nothing to do, it is enough to have Brother Huan to accompany him, allowing him to travel freely and do what he loves.
