After talking to Wu Yanen about the idea of opening a shipmaster school, Wu Haogu excused himself to accompany Pan Qiaolian to Tianya Town as a visitor, and turned down the Wu family's banquet. After leaving the Wu family's mansion, Wu Haogu took Pan Qiaolian and Olga straight to the mansion where Mi Youren lived. Mi Youren's Grange house outside Qishan County is not small. It covers an area of about dozens of acres, and it is a pattern of three in and nine out.

This house was not purchased by Mi Youren after he became an official in Haizhou, and the magistrates of the Northern Song Dynasty were not allowed to purchase property in the place where they were serving as officials during their tenure. This mansion is the dowry of Mi Youren's wife Wang, and the Wang family Wu Haogu also recognizes it, and is a niece of Wang Xu, and the family is also a Jiangmen capitalist. When Duan Wang was choosing a concubine, Wu Haogu and Mi Youren went to paint a portrait of her. Who knew that Mi Youren and the little lady of the Wang family looked at each other, after Mi Youren entered high school, he married Wang Xiaoniang in a beautiful way, and the mansion in Haizhou was one of Wang Xiaoniang's marriages.

Wu Haogu, Pan Qiaolian, and Olga dismounted outside Mi Youren's house, and were about to tie the horse, but they saw Mi Youren walking out of it with a young man under the age of twenty, and the two seemed to be talking and laughing.

"Hey, teacher, eighteenth sister, why are you here?"

When Mi Youren saw Wu Haogu, he was extremely enthusiastic, and he walked down from the door steps quickly.

But when he came, he left the young man aside.

But the young man was not angry, and with a gentle smile on his face, it was very kind.

It's just that in that smile, Wu Haogu saw some arrogance and arrogance. Most of the young people with this temperament are the second generation of Jinshi civil officials, and seven or eight out of ten are still great talents - Wu Haogu has sold calligraphy and paintings on Panlou Street, and he has seen a lot of various talents.

"Yuan Hui, who is this Lang Jun?" Wu Haogu looked at the personable young man and asked.

"Ah, that's Li Si, the great sect Zhengcheng, and Li Boji, the family's langjun."

After saying that, he turned his head to the young man who was coming down from the steps and said, "Boji, this is Mr. Chongdao, the family teacher, and he is also Mr. Dongpo's new disciple. ”

Li Sihe? Li Boji? Wu Haogu thought about it and didn't have any impression. What kind of "words" and "numbers" did the ancients like to use, and people who are not familiar with it don't know who they are talking about?

"Li Gang has seen Mr. Chongdao."

When Wu Haogu was confused, the young man finally arched his hand and reported his name.

Li Gang? Uh, no, he should be the famous Li Gang! It was the one who "pitted" Song Huizong and Song Qinzong, and the two sons of the two families were all famous generals who resisted gold. Well, this is not to completely wronged Li Gang, because without his resolute advocacy of resistance when the Jin soldiers crossed the Yellow River south for the first time in the first month of the first year of Jingkang, and even did not hesitate to incite the forbidden army that escorted and fled, Song Qinzong would have escaped from Kaifeng Mansion with his clan relatives and nobles to hide in Xiangyang Mansion.

Although most of the Kaifeng Mansion will fall a few months earlier, there will be no later "Second Emperor Northern Hunting".

"It turned out to be Li Boji, long admiration, long admiration."

Wu Haogu didn't dare to be a Confucian in front of the future prime minister, so he hurriedly returned the salute, and then asked with a smile: "Brother Bo Ji also came to Haizhou to listen to the lecture of Mr. Dongpo, the family teacher?" ”

Mi Youren interjected: "Don't talk about it at the gate if you have something to say, Brother Boji, it's better to have a light meal at my house." ”

Li Gang smiled, "Then it's bothering." ”

Mi Youren made a gesture of surprise, and then led Wu Haogu, Pan Qiaolian, and Li Gang to the house together, while Olga waited in the ear room at the gate of Mifu.

The four of them sat down in the middle hall of the rice house, and a female envoy served refreshments. Mi Youren said: "Brother Bo Ji is a great talent with the world in mind, so he is not in a hurry for the imperial examination, but travels all over the world to seek knowledge. When I heard that Mr. Dongpo was teaching in Yuntai, I came here and wanted to ask Mr. Dongpo for teaching. ”

Mi Youren didn't say that he wanted to worship Sumen, but just asked for teaching. Because Li Gang's father Li Kui is a soldier who knows the soldiers, he once followed Yan Yan Jingluo to appease Lu Huiqing for many years, and has made a lot of military achievements. In terms of party affiliation, he undoubtedly belongs to the new party camp, and under Lu Huiqing's care, his official fortune is also very good.

Therefore, as Li Kui's son, even if Li Gang admires Su Dongpo's knowledge, it is not good to openly worship his subordinates. Otherwise, it will make it difficult for his father Li Kui to be a man.

Wu Haogu took a sip of water and smiled: "That's the case, Mr. Dongpo's running a school in Yuntai is the meaning of the official family, and a few days ago, he has already reinstated the bachelor of Longtu Pavilion and awarded the doctor of Chaosan, and now he is waiting for the dispatch of the Yuntai Academy."

And this Yuntai School Palace is not set up for the imperial examination, and the knowledge passed on is practical learning; Second, the Confucian scriptures and teachings that can be spread overseas. ”

When Li Gang heard this, he immediately became interested.

The imperial examination was not very difficult for him. The reason why he didn't respond to this subject is because his father Li Kui thinks that his son's knowledge is all in the Yingju, and even if he wins, he can't be an official - for Wu Zhongyi, who is the penultimate Jinshi in high school, high school is success! For the "second generation of Jinshi" like Li Gang, who has a bright future, Jinshi is just a stepping stone, and recommending the two governments is the goal.

And to recommend the two mansions, it is not enough to rely on splendid articles, you must have the knowledge that has been applied to the world, otherwise it will be the end of being a bachelor of Hanlin.

But where can I learn the skills that can be applied to the world? Academies in the Great Song Dynasty were everywhere, but most of them were opened for the purpose of taking exams, aiming at the imperial examinations. Even if there are a few schools that are engaged in learning, they are all aiming for the avenue, and there is not much practical learning involved.

As for the Guozixue, Taixue and Wuxue under the supervision of Guozi, although they were wanted to be used to train qualified bureaucrats as early as the time when Wang Anshi was in power, they were still a training class for imperial examinations after so many years.

And if you want to learn practical learning, the best place to go in the entire Great Song Dynasty is about the place in Qionglin Yuan that specializes in reading for eunuchs who have no eggs - although the practical ability of the civil and military officials of the Northern Song Dynasty is obviously insufficient compared with that of the Han and Tang Dynasties, the quality and ethics of the eunuchs of the Northern Song Dynasty are still good......

Of course, Li Gang couldn't go to Qionglin Yuan to study, so he was interested in Yuntai Academy. And according to Wu Haogu, Yuntai School Palace will be a government-run school, or the official family will personally explain it, so it is the existence of transcending party affiliation, just like Taixue, Wuxue and Guozixue.

"If Brother Bo Ji wants to enroll, he can take the exam." Wu Haogu gently stroked his palm and said to Li Gang, "Although the Yuntai Academy Palace is currently a grass creation, the enrollment still needs to be fair, and only those who pass the examination can be enrolled.

The examination is divided into two subjects, one is the Confucian Five Classics, which have scriptures and righteousness, which are similar to the imperial examination; The second is talent and miscellaneous learning, you can self-report a subject, Brother Bo Ji has a family heirloom of military science, and he should be able to pass the exam smoothly.

In addition, there are also age and country requirements for students who are enrolled in PTZ. Those over the age of 30 are not accepted, and if they are not subjects of the Great Song Dynasty, there will also be restrictions. ”

Li Gang frowned, "If you are over 30 years old, you won't accept it?" I'm afraid this is contrary to the teachings of the saints, right? ”

What an event! Wu Haogu glanced at Li Gang, who was a few years younger than him, and explained with a smile: "Brother Bo Ji doesn't know that the main purpose of the official family to set up the Yuntai Academy Palace is to spread the Taoist system of Confucianism overseas...... The sea is dangerous, and it must be young and strong. If you enter school in your 30s, you will be at least 344 or 5 years old after completing your studies, and you will be in good health, and you will not be able to work for a few years. ”

"After completing your studies, you want to go to sea to spread Confucianism?" Li Gang didn't want to go overseas.

He wants to learn something practical now, or in order to be a good official in the future, but he doesn't want to go across the ocean to preach and preach abroad.

"I don't have to go," Wu Haogu said with a smile, "Brother Boji's future is naturally outside the Donghua Gate." ”

Wu Haogu would not prohibit the disciples of the Yuntai Academy from applying for the examination - he did not have such power, and if some Yuntai disciples could enter the imperial examination in the future, it would not be harmful to his career.

Of course, he will not recruit too many "talented people" to enroll, lest they all go to the imperial examination in the future, and no one will go outside to preach. However, Li Gang is the future of "must be hit", of course Wu Haogu wants to recruit him into the Yuntai Academy, if possible, let him enter his own door, and spread the "way of all evils" - that is, the way to make money! I don't know if Li Gang is interested?

Listening to Wu Haogu's statement, Li Gang suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Then Mr. Chongdao will be led under the Dongpo Gate."

Everyone achieved their goals, and their mood became extraordinarily relaxed.

At that moment, Mi Youren set up a banquet at home to entertain Wu Haogu and Li Gang.

After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, the sky has darkened...... Just as Wu Haogu and Li Gang were pushing the cups to change the lamp, the female envoy outside the door suddenly came to report, "A state official came to ask for a meeting outside the door." ”

Mi Youren was stunned and hurriedly stood up.

I felt strange in my heart: Could it be that there is a thief who wants to catch it himself?

His own job is still the lieutenant of Qishan County, and it is his job to catch thieves for the Great Song Dynasty. Of course, he is not afraid of thieves. Because his father Mi Fu sent him two helpers, both of whom were miscellaneous military ministers of the Kaifeng Forbidden Army, it would not be possible to fight, but there was still a little kung fu, and he would definitely not let Mi Youren catch the thief.

At that moment, Mi Youren said "less accompaniment" to Wu Haogu and Li Gang, and went out to see the public sent by the state government.

After a while, Mi Youren rushed back again.

"Yuan Hui, is there a thief to catch?" Wu Haogu also thought that Haizhou had a thief.

"It's not that there is a thief to catch," Mi Youren said, "It's someone from the Jinjuin Academy." ”

"Is there an edict for Mr. Dongpo?" Wu Haogu guessed that the edict appointing Su Dongpo to raise the Yuntai Academy Palace had arrived.

Mi Youren nodded: "There is one for Mr. Dongpo, and another is for the teacher." ”

"For me?" Wu Haogu was confused for a while.

My family and the official family have said that they will go back to Kaifeng Mansion after the Shangyuan Festival next year, and then go north to Shangjiehe Commercial Market. Why did Zhao Ji give himself an edict now? Could it be that the people who entered the concert hall made a mistake and took the letter of the official family as an edict?
