Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 2719

Chapter 2719

Mu Yuanzuo led two of his subordinates into the main entrance of Wangjiang Tower, and was taken aback as soon as he entered the store.

There are no less than a dozen people in the spacious main hall at the moment, surrounded by Wei Wang, Fang Jun, and Du He on a table by the window, smiling all over their faces like a spring breeze, these people are sitting or standing, nodding and bowing their heads. Compliments are capable of doing things, and the scene is extremely harmonious.

Mu Yuanzuo just glanced at it lightly, and he had a general idea in his heart.

This group of gentlemen from the south of the Yangtze River, who were usually extravagant and domineering, panicked under Fang Jun's unreasonable iron fist, and couldn't wait to come to the door to show their respect and respect...

Mu Yuanzuo couldn't help but feel that his back was a little stiffer. What could be more pleasant than being attached to such a powerful boss in the officialdom?

He stepped forward quickly, reached the table and bowed to the ground, saluting: "Your Majesty, see His Royal Highness the King of Wei, the Duke of Yue, and Concubine Du."

Li Tai looked kindly, waved his hand and said: "I said yesterday that there is no need to be polite in private occasions, please take your seat quickly, Governor Mu."

Mu Yuanzuo thanked him, stood up, and sat down on Du He's hands, while the two subordinates stood behind him together.

Rules are the most important in the officialdom, don't look at Li Tai's mouth saying that there is no need to be polite in private occasions, but if you really lack half a point of etiquette, you will offend the prince in minutes.A prince and two sons-in-law, not everyone can sit on this table. Mu Yuanzuo, the governor, is of course qualified. Apart from him, there are two white-bearded old men who are still young, and the rest stand on both sides with their hands tied. .

Mu Yuanzuo cupped his hands at the two old men, and said with a smile, "So it's Mr. Zhou and Mr. Xu. I'm being polite here."

The two old men hurriedly returned the salute, saying with a smile, "I dare not".

Elder Zhou is the elder of the Yangxian Zhou clan. He is older and senior. He has lived in Suzhou all year round. The Yangxian Zhou clan and Fang Jun have a tea business and are in partnership. It is not surprising that they appear here.Elder Xu is the elder of the Xu family in the Great Wall. Fang Jun has several paper mills in the Great Wall, and has cooperated with many local nobles in the Great Wall. Moreover, Xu Jieyu, the daughter of the Xu family in the Great Wall, is very popular in the palace. Pets can also be regarded as relatives of the emperor.

Looking around again, could it be that the important figures of various gentry who have been stationed in Suzhou all the year round, I was worried that Wang Jingda's liaison with countless promises would make most of the Jiangnan gentry unite and resist in unison. As a result, Fang Jun arrived in Jiangnan in the blink of an eye In a short time, the alliance built by Wang Jing was completely defeated by Fang Jun.

I really don't know how Wang Jing would feel if he was standing here at this moment...

Fang Jun looked at Mu Yuanzuo and asked, "Her Royal Highnesses are living in a guest house in Huating Town. The conditions are poor and inconvenient. Is there a suitable manor near Suzhou for Her Royal Highness to stay?"

Before Mu Yuanzuo could reply, the elders of the Xu family said: "My family has a manor by the lake outside the city. It is usually used for the elderly in the family to escape from the summer heat. The scale and decoration are reasonable. If the princesses don't mind it, you might as well stay here for a while. For a few days, it is really an honor for my Xu family."

Fang Jun thought for a while and asked Li Tai, "What do you think, Your Highness?"

The princess is a golden branch and a jade leaf. Apart from not being too simple, the place where she stays should also consider safety and other factors. Fortunately, the Xu family is a royal family, so safety is naturally safe. However, Li Tai's opinion must be sought on this matter. After all, this trip Respect Li Tai.

Li Tai pondered for a while, and said: "I'd like to ask Mu Shishi to go and check it out. If the conditions are suitable, then let the princesses settle in as soon as possible."

He was very concerned about the living conditions of his younger sisters. The conditions in Huating Town were simple and clean, but they were far from the princess's regulations. However, the conditions of the Xu family's manor were not known, so they couldn't move there in a hurry.

Mu Yuanzuo quickly replied: "I will go back to the customs later, and I will take people to check it. Please rest assured, Your Highness."

Li Tai nodded slightly, and said, "I'm sorry."

Mu Yuanzuo hurriedly said, "This is a matter for the lower officials."

Afterwards, everyone chatted freely in Wangjiang Building, they didn't mention anything about Shen's family, they just talked about Wei Wang Li Tai's purpose of going south this time, Li Tai took the opportunity to express his aspirations passionately, which won everyone's approval.

It's not necessary to lick His Royal Highness King Wei. Now that the imperial examination is about to take off, people all over the world have paid more and more attention to the professor of Confucian classics.There are many insightful people among the Jiangnan gentry, who deeply understand that the Jiangnan gentry, apart from the noble style and inexhaustible wealth left by their ancestors, actually lacks the profound heritage compared to the Shandong family.

That is the foundation accumulated through generations of farming and studying for thousands of years.

The imperial examination system focuses on talents from poor families, but correspondingly, it also gives great opportunities to those from families of Confucian classics. After all, they are the most educated people in the world. Regardless of accumulation and resources, they are far superior to those from poor families. children.

Not surprisingly, in the many years when the poor families have not really stepped into the imperial examination threshold, it will be those families with family backgrounds who will take the lead. Shepherd one side, or go straight to the center.

It is conceivable that the rise of Shandong aristocratic families is not far away, how can the Jiangnan gentry remain indifferent?

However, there are too few scholars in Jiangnan.

Except for the powerful families of the dead, there are very few folk scholars, which makes reading a rare thing that can only be popular among the major gentry clans. However, the number of teachers is really limited, so we can't let those direct descendants of the clan go to the school to teach, right?

Elder Zhou asked: "The Zhou family is willing to assist His Highness in his great cause. He wants money and people to help him. He just hopes that in the future the Zhou family will be able to get help from His Highness in running county schools and rural schools in the countryside. Contact more educated people. Go teach."

Li Tai was overjoyed: "Teaching the world's students so that everyone can read books and know etiquette is really the long-cherished wish of this king! Mr. Zhou understands the righteousness, how can this king refuse? But I am afraid that this matter is asking Duke Yue for help. will be better."

More than half of the world's scholars are in Shandong.

The collection of poems and books of the seven clans and five surnames is a great achievement. Even the children of the general corner of the clan can study and learn. The flourishing style of study is rare in the world.

And Fang Jun is a descendant of the Fang family in Qizhou. Although the Fang family in Qizhou is not included in the seven clans and five surnames, it is also a heir to poetry and calligraphy, and has been noble for many generations. His mother's family is the Fanyang Lu family, which is the top in the world. The school tycoon, Fan Yang and the Lu family married the Cui family and other aristocrats. It can be said that standing behind Fang Jun is the educational resources of the entire Shandong.

Elder Zhou clasped his hands and said, "Then I would like to ask Duke Yue to help my family recommend a few well-educated people to teach the children in the village. I guarantee that no matter whether it is a child in the clan or a child in the country, as long as you have the heart to study and learn, They must be treated equally, and the funds for the repairs will be borne by my family alone."

Anyone with a little bit of political sensitivity has already realized that suppressing powerful families has long been a national policy of the imperial court. If anyone still holds on to the old attitude of domineering and domineering, they will be targeted by the imperial court.

And while teaching the children of the family, if you can teach the children in the countryside along the way, it will be regarded as "political correctness".

Furthermore, even if a country boy has no blood ties with his family, but he ate his family's food and read his family's books since he was a child, and was cultivated by his family's efforts to become a talent, how could he not be grateful, the grace of dripping water When the fountain repays each other?

Even if he is a white-eyed wolf, he still has to worry about his own reputation. He cannot be accused of being an ungrateful person by others, and he has to take care of his family and treat him as if he were of the same family...

The account of education is not a loss no matter how it is calculated.

After all, there are not many clans as powerful and domineering as Wu Xingshen's, and more clans still care about the evaluation of the countryside. After all, "Fuze Township" sounds much better than "For the rich and unkind"...

Fang Jun nodded and said: "If the Zhou family has this kind of thought, I will naturally support it with all my strength. The Zhou family has always supported me so much, how can I have nothing in return? This matter is left to me. After returning to Chang'an, I wrote letters to the families in Shandong, presumably the families in Shandong will also vigorously promote this kind of ethos of teaching the world."

More than support?You can wake up with a smile in your dreams!

The Shandong aristocratic family has read poetry and books to heirs, and the opportunity to make their influence penetrate to the south of the Yangtze River is simply a godsend.

Just imagine that one day in the future, the patriarchs and children of the gentry in the south of the Yangtze River will all be students of the Shandong aristocratic family...

The so-called mutual benefit is like this.

At this time, a middle-aged scribe who stood aside for a long time couldn't bear it anymore. Seeing that he hadn't gotten to the point, he took a half step forward and said cautiously: "I want to teach the Duke of Yue to know that my family promised to give it to me earlier." Duke Yue's property and goods have now been checked and counted, and this is the account, please look over it, Duke Yue."

As he spoke, he took out an account book from his pocket and handed it over with both hands.

There was a sudden silence in the hall.

The main show is coming...
