Chapter 336 Defend the Tao and improve yourself
Hearing the voice, a circle of people quickly gathered around, and everyone was talking about it. Guo Huaili is a "crazy person", the folding fan in his hand is held high, showing the poems on his fan to the surrounding crowd, and he almost said loudly, "I am Guo Huaili".
It's a pity that the crowd's attention was on Jiang Anyi, and they suddenly glanced at the fat man, which made Guo Huaili very hurt, and closed the fan with a "snap". The tiger head is not afraid of life, biting the Pinpo fruit in his mouth, turning his dark eyes and looking up at everyone, wondering why these people are blocking the road.
Huangyang Academy has been integrated into Jiang Anyi's efforts from conception to establishment, and looking at the vigorous academy Jiang Anyi is like seeing his son Jiang Chenzhi, there is an indescribable like, relief and love.
Looking at the performance of the students of the academy, Jiang Anyi is happy and worried, happy that the students of Huangyang Academy have high morale, do not admit defeat, and have momentum, reading and doing things must have this energy, this is vitality, which is stronger than Zechang Academy; The worry is that when the academy was first established, students had arrogance, and they could be arrogant in life and learning, but they could not be arrogant, because they would be pretentious, short-sighted, listen to other people's words from time to time, and even fall into party disputes.
Just thinking about how to speak, the crowd was separated, Wu Huayou walked in separately from the crowd, and bowed to Jiang Anyi excitedly and said, "Lord Jiang, why are you here?" ”
Master Jiang, everyone's eyes lit up, and immediately thought of the identity of the person in front of them, and bowed down one by one, "The student (late student) has seen Lord Jiang." ”
The student who stopped Jiang Anyi blushed and said: "Zou Yang, a native of Weizhou, who was born late, was not inferior to his words just now, and he was offended, looking at Lord Jiang Haihan." ”
"It doesn't matter." Jiang Anyi smiled.
How do you know that Zou Yang said with a straight face: "Lord Jiang, this Huangyang Academy was founded by you, why do you think that Huangyang Academy is inferior to Zechang Academy?" ”
This question cannot be answered casually, and a careless one will hurt the student's love for the school. Jiang Anyi was pondering, and Guo Huaili beside him interjected with a big grin: "I have been to Zechang Academy, where the building is magnificent, there are many students, many famous scholars have taught in the academy for more than three hundred years, and the library building is full of books, which is much more magnificent than here." ”
"Shallow", "ridiculous", several reprimands sounded, and angry expressions appeared on the faces of the students, if it weren't for Guo Huaili following Jiang Anyi's side, it is estimated that this group of students would have stepped forward to tear them apart and reason with their fists.
Jiang Anyi's face sank, put on the majesty of the academic record, and scolded: "The gentleman is happy when he hears it, and the villain is angry when he hears it, so what about the gentleman?" Villain? ”
The words made everyone speechless, but many people still had a gloomy look on their faces and looked at Guo Huaili angrily. Jiang Anyi had a headache, and he could see that this group of students had a deep affection for the academy, and he couldn't bear to hear other people's criticism of the academy, but this was not the attitude that should be done academically. After thinking about it, Jiang Anyi said: "In the next three moments, everyone is invited to come to Qingxin Hall, and Jiang Mou talked to everyone. ”
The cheers stood up, don't look at Jiang Anyi's age, but his reputation is not small, the champion of Sanyuan and the first is the dream of all scholars, and there is only one Jiang Anyi since the founding of Dazheng, and there are only three people in the past.
Not to mention the few poems made by Jiang Anyi, all of them are popular, and if readers can't recite them, they will inevitably be ridiculed. Walking on the street, I stopped a few readers at random and looked at the folding fans in their hands, most of which were poems written by Jiang Anyi. As for the Qinglou, it is inseparable from Jiangqu, and the momentum of the limelight is unparalleled for a while.
Such a character is the student record of Huangyang Academy, and the students are of course honored, but Jiang Anyi's academic record is very incompetent, just a name, and he has not shown up a few times since the establishment of the academy.
Surrounded by everyone, Jiang Anyi came to the Jingxiu Building where the teachers of the academy worked, and Su Ziming, Ling Xu and others were already waiting in front of the building. After a few words, Su Ziming smiled and said: "I still remember that when Anyi entered Zechang Academy, I presided over the last trial question, and the topic at that time was Yin You Sanren, and the test score was high?" An Yixiong is talented and discerning, which is still fresh in my memory. I don't know what I'm going to say today? ”
Jiang Anyi recounted the dispute that occurred when he came, and said: "The students of the academy are full of enterprising, but arrogance is not enough. I want to talk about being a human being. ”
Su Ziming was silent, Ling Xu had always been honest and said bluntly: "Anyi, you are too worried. When the college was founded, it was precisely this kind of arrogance and unwillingness to be left behind in order for the college to quickly become famous in the world. ”
Hearing this, Jiang Anyi knew that the gentlemen of the academy were holding back their strength and wanted to know the world. Jiang Anyi was a little dazed, could it be that he was wrong.
In the middle of the day, the Qingxin Hall was full of students, students in the academy came, and some pilgrims also rushed to join in the fun when they heard the news. Jiang Anyi stood in front of the stage, looking at the earnest faces under the hall, and was afraid in his heart, for fear that he would mislead people's children.
Su Ziming said with a smile: "Anyi, just be bold, what you have done in Fuluo County is a model of excellence, all students regard you as a role model, you might as well talk about your own situation, all students will definitely like it." ”
With a cough, Jiang Anyi began to speak, he really started from his own life as Mr. Su said, talking about studying hard with his father since he was a child, losing his father when he was ten years old, his mother relied on weaving bamboo to maintain the family's income, and his younger brother helped a helper at the age of ten, just to alleviate the ration of a meal. Most of the people who listened to the lecture in the hall were poor students, and they were deeply impressed by Jiang Anyi's speech, and many of them felt nostalgic for their life experience and wept in their eyes.
Jiang Anyi glanced at the people in the hall, many of them had patches on their clothes and vegetables, obviously because their families were not well-off.
"The sages told us to be happy with poverty, I don't know how you understand this sentence, to be poor and keep the way, some people think that it is to be content with poverty and abide by the morality of the heart. The Master once said, 'Virtuous, return!' A spoonful of food, a scoop of drink, in the alleys, people are unbearable, and they will not change their pleasures. So many people think that it is not in line with the way of a saint to try to change the situation of poverty, but Jiang does not think so. ”
Jiang Anyi's words caused a riot, and everyone began to talk about it, Jiang Anyi stopped, picked up the teacup and drank water, and let the discussion fly for a while.
The discussion gradually became quieter, and everyone focused on this Jiang Xuelu again. Jiang Anyi continued: "I think that what the master said about being happy in poverty means not changing your ambition because of poverty and doing something that a gentleman does not do, rather than saying that you will not make any changes in the face of poverty and blindly study the books of the sages. ”
"I said just now that Jiang's family is poor and forced to pay debts, and his mother plans to sell the land to pay off the debts for Jiang to study." The hall is quiet, many people have experienced Jiang Anyi's situation, and everyone wants to know how this Jiang County Commander changed his fate.
Jiang read an article on catching beasts with rope knots from miscellaneous books, and tried to go up the mountain to hunt beasts, but he really caught a beast. Most of the beasts in the rope noose were whole, and some were even alive, and they were sold for a good price in the mountain shops, which allowed my family to tide over the difficulties. Jiang passed on this skill to my brother, who went up to the mountain every day to hunt animals, and Jiang was able to study at home, and the debt was quickly paid off. Later, Jiang used the bamboo forest in the mountain behind his house to find a way to make a folding fan, which is what you hold in your hands, and then developed some things, and now the Jiang family has thin assets and no worries about food and clothing. ”
Everyone was brought into the realm by Jiang Anyi's narration, and when they heard that the Jiang family had paid off their debts, everyone breathed a sigh of relief and a smile appeared on their faces. Some people are active, Jiang Xianling was still worried about clothes like himself a few years ago, he can use book knowledge to get rich, why can't we?
"It is with money at home that Jiang can study with peace of mind, can he leave home to study at Zechang Academy, and have the money to go to the capital to take the exam, what Jiang did is not to be content with poverty and wait for the imperial examination to become famous, but to use what he has learned to change the fate of poverty, so that he and his family can live a rich life, so he must use what he has learned and take the initiative to change his fate."
Jiang Anyi's words were deafening, and many of the children of the poor family were in a state of flux, many of them had read the "Examination of the Work Record", which recorded a lot of methods for making tools, why didn't they think about using what they saw in the book to make profits, if they had money, they couldn't cut down on food and clothing for their own studies, and they could rest assured.
This topic is too sensitive, Jiang Anyi didn't want to talk about it more, and said with a change of words: "The Son of Heaven attaches great importance to articles, and if you learn and excel, some of you will step into the Son of Heaven Hall in the future." In the future, when you are clothed and clothed, you should think more about the time of poverty, repay the kindness of the Son of Heaven, repay the expectations of your family, think of the suffering of the people, and do more good governance, they are like your parents and brothers. What Jiang did when he came to Fuluo County was to often think about the predicament of the year, and to help others if he had spare energy. ”
"The sages told us: Tianxingjian, a gentleman is constantly striving for self-improvement; The terrain is good, and the gentleman carries things with virtue. Jiang Mou saw this self-improvement momentum in your body, and I was very pleased to be a student record. However, how are you doing? ”
There was silence in the hall, and Jiang Anyi's voice echoed in the hall. "When I entered the academy, I talked to my friends that Huangyang Academy is not as good as Zechang Academy, and many of you are angry because of this, and Jiang is both happy and worried. The good thing is that you have feelings for the academy and a strong sense of honor, but the worry is that there is a lot of arrogance in your words, not to mention that Huangyang Academy really can't be compared with Zechang Academy, that is, it can be compared, or even surpassed, why can't you listen to criticism? ”
"A gentleman carries things with virtue, and the sages tell us to be broad-minded, not even to listen to criticism, and to argue without asking right and wrong, is it a gentleman's behavior? I hope that the students of Huangyang Academy can open their horizons and let go of their prejudices in order to go further. I am kind to the motto of Huangyang Academy: Gewu, Zhizhi, sincerity, righteousness, self-cultivation, family, governance, and peace in the world, Jiang hopes that the princes can follow the school motto and be a virtuous talent who benefits the country and the people. ”
