Section 39 Wang Zuo (I)
Deng Ming didn't stay in Chengdu for a long time, and during this period, Xiong Lan came to tell her again, saying that Chen Zuocai, the academy priest appointed by Deng Ming, had been talking nonsense since he called Chengdu, and it could even be regarded as a conspiracy. Xiong Lan reported to Deng Ming in front of the prefect Liu Jinge, and he also accused Liu Jinge of doing nothing.
"Why did Chen Saijiu plot against it?" Liu Jinge was furious when he heard this, he had been busy making and spending money according to Deng Ming's ideas, and all his energy was focused on how to collect taxes, especially the salt industry under his personal control. Xiong Lan had told Liu Jinge about this before, but Liu Zhifu didn't take it to heart at all, since Deng Ming wanted the prefect's yamen to allocate funds to the academy, he allocated funds, but he never cared about what the academy was teaching.
"Did Chen Xijiu say anything inappropriate?" Deng Ming was also a little curious.
"He preaches every day that he wants to be 'loyal to the monarch and patriotic'! Governor Liu ignored this. Xiong Lan said indignantly, although his duty is to manage the bank, but Xiong Lan is also very concerned about other aspects, and now Xiong Lan's status is completely given by Deng Ming, and he also knows that if he changes someone else, he will never reuse him as a concubine and have children, not to mention that he has a history of three rebellions. For Xiong Lan, Deng Ming's political future is closely related to his interests.
"Is there anything wrong with being loyal and patriotic?" The net does not skip words. Liu Jinge quickly regarded Xiong Lan's accusation against Chen Zuocai as an attack on him, and retorted bitterly: "Is it right to teach the students to follow the example of President Xiong, and when the admiral goes out of the city to fight, he will put down a flag on the city tower to cut off the admiral's retreat?" "The net doesn't skip words. Spiritual Realm
"The Admiral has pardoned me......" Xiong Lan's momentum stagnated slightly, but she immediately realized that the other party was turning defense into offense, and any justification was a sign of weakness, and she would lead the offense and defense to transposition: "When the Admiral went to Kunming, Governor Liu gave Yiling another 10,000 pieces of cloth!" ”
"Okay, you poisonous snake, you actually inquired about the prefect's yamen." Liu Jinge was annoyed and angry, and said to Deng Ming: "The admiral said that he would support the generals of Kuidong, and I didn't show favoritism!" I've also approved other places. ”
"A lot of grain was also granted to Wanxian, and that was to curry favor with Yuan Zhifu." Xiong Lan did not give up.
"Of course Wanxian has to give food, otherwise how can you help us repair the ship?" If it weren't for Deng Ming's side, Liu Jinge would probably have to propose a duel again: "Admiral, President Xiong took the benefits of Director Qin and gave the Industrial Bank a preferential loan. ”
"That's it! Come on! If you think that someone is corrupt, go and report it to the Criminal Investigation Division, and let He Ti handle the case impartially, and don't expect me to judge the case. Deng Mingtou was quarreled with by them, and the prefect's yamen, Chengdu Bank, and tax bureau often attacked each other, and he couldn't figure out the rights and wrongs in it. Besides, now that Chengdu is running well, agriculture, industry, and commerce are thriving, it is impossible for Deng Ming to carry out any cleansing at this time, so as not to put everyone in danger in Chengdu's fragile "civilian" system. Chengdu officials took on all the responsibilities of the rear, so that Deng Mingcai could lead the troops out without worry, or go to the allies to discuss cooperation: "I just want to know, what inappropriate things did Chen Xijiu teach?" "The net doesn't skip words.
When Chen Zuocai arrived in Chengdu, he was surprised to find that Deng Ming had not gathered the professors together for training, which was a necessary means to unify thinking, so Chen Zuocai thought that Deng Ming had already done it. However, Deng Ming's failure to do it does not mean that Chen Zuocai will not do it for him, Chen Zuocai immediately formalized the academy, stipulating that all professors must regularly attend classes at the headquarters of Chengdu Academy and receive his own training, and then they can go to the pavilion to educate students.
When Chen Zuocai gave a lecture to the professors, he talked about the reign of the Son of Heaven and the virtuous ministers and ministers, and called on the professors in Chengdu to be loyal to the Son of Heaven and love the imperial court, and further spread this idea to the students. Liu Jin Ge was born as a military general, and he didn't know anything about education, so he felt that how to train professors and how to guide students were the education department's own business; But Xiong Lan smelled the danger from it, and Qin Xiucai, the director of the tax bureau, was also a serious showman, and he had been a master to Tan Hong for many years, and after talking to Xiong Lan secretly, he also decided that Chen Zuocai had bad intentions towards Deng Ming, and let them report it several times, Liu Jinge, who was focused on making a fortune, didn't take it seriously, and thought they were nosy.
Xiong Lan shouted for a long time, and Deng Ming finally understood, that is, President Xiong suspected that Chen Zuocai was here to dig his corner, and wanted to turn Chengdu into a base camp for supporting the Son of Heaven.
"I am also a supporter of the Holy." Deng Ming commented, but Xiong Lan obviously didn't believe it, not only did Xiong Lan automatically filter it clean, but Liu Jinge on the side also looked calm, and also let Deng Ming's sentence enter and come out of his left ear and out of his right ear: "That's it, talk to Chen Xijiu, I want to go and listen to it next time he goes to class." ”
"That's not good......" Xiong Lan felt that if Chen Zuocai was notified, the other party would obviously be vigilant, and he would definitely not make a big deal in front of Deng Ming; But after thinking about it, Xiong Lan suddenly realized Deng Ming's cleverness, if Chen Zuocai changed his course and suddenly never mentioned loyalty and patriotism, it would prove that he had a ghost in his heart, thus proving that he was the villain who slandered Deng Ming behind his back, and also confirmed his conspiracy to plot evil.
"The Admiral is clever, clever." The more Xiong Lan thought about it, the more she felt that Deng Ming's strategy was wonderful, and praised it sincerely: "In this way, Chen Zuocai's sinister intentions will have nothing to hide." ”
Seeing that Xiong Lan said so surely, Liu Jinge was also a little uneasy in his heart: "Could it be that Chen Zuocai is really a chaotic minister and thief?" "If Xiong Lan said it right, then Liu Jinge must have neglected to supervise, and let this guy instigate rebellion in Chengdu, it would be a dereliction of duty for the prefect's yamen, thinking of this, Liu Jinge hurriedly said that he would follow Deng Ming to audit, and hurriedly called a guard, and asked him to go to the notification court to prepare for the arrival of the admiral.
When the prefect's order was sent to the academy, Chen Zuocai was scolding several professors, and for the past two months he has been trying to understand the education system in Chengdu, trying to understand every detail of it. Every time he thinks of Deng Ming's big seal and Xiucai, Chen Zuocai is angry and angry, but this is not something he can interfere with, it just makes Chen Zuocai more convinced that Deng Ming is hostile to loyal ministers and filial sons, intending to disturb the hierarchical order of the emperor and Ming, confuse the hearts of the world, and finally create conditions for him to seek power and usurp the throne.
However, Chen Zuocai was furious today not because of righteousness, but because of the teaching methods of these professors. Most of the professors in Chengdu are the children of small landlords and children who have not been able to pass the examination and have no fame in the examination, and they do not know how to teach.
"Do you teach like that?" The net does not skip words. Chen Zuocai threw a copy of the Analects directly in the face of a professor, this teacher is shaking his head and reading to the children every day, and he reads by himself from beginning to end of a class, he himself reads with flying eyebrows and full of interest, but once the students below ask questions, the professor who is interrupted will shout: "Read!" Then read on.
The teaching methods of several other professors were similar, and the professor who was hit in the face by the book did not dare to argue loudly, and defended in a low voice aggrievedly: "The sacrificial wine is on top, and when the students are studying in the academy, the teacher teaches like this." ”
"Read a book a hundred times, and its meaning will come to itself." Chen Zuocai snorted, he is not unaware of this teaching method, many college teachers just recite vigorously, let students read by themselves, this is also one of the means to cultivate students to form their own opinions: "But now it is enlightenment!" Many of these children can't even read words, how can they go to school on their own? Is that what your teacher taught when you were enlightened? Chengdu Academy has the name of 'Academy', but is it really a Academy? When you went to the academy, were you illiterate? "The net doesn't skip words.
Including Chen Zuocai, almost all professors received small class education when they were enlightened, with only a few classmates, and Chen Zuocai was the only enlightened teacher invited by the family. Stroke by stroke, are completed under the teaching of the enlightened teacher, and now Chengdu Academy for children are large classes, each teacher has to face more than 20 children in class, stroke by stroke to teach is very hard, so some teachers write a few words, and then hang in front of the students to copy.
"You are teaching handwriting, not painting, and the posture of the students below holding the pen is not right, isn't this misleading? This is teaching, not growing sweet potatoes! Chen Zuocai scolded again: "No matter whether there are twenty children or two children in a class, the professor must teach them hand in hand, and he is not allowed to be lazy, otherwise he will get out of my academy and go farming!" "Spiritual Realm
After blasting away these professors, Chen Zuocai raised the teacup on the table and took a sip of tea, and let in a group of children waiting outside the door without gasping.
The professors in the pavilion who educate the same Xiucai can teach how to do it, Chen Zuocai is really lacking in skills and can't ask, but what happened in this academy is that he can't tolerate sand in his eyes. There are not many children in Chengdu now, but there are nearly 1,000 orphans of Caogong and the families of Zhejiang Dongbing. Now outside Chen Zuocai's door, there will always be a large group of students waiting.
The group of students who came in came to retrieve their articles, and one of the students surnamed Dong heard that his father used to be a Cao Tou, and after being killed by officers and soldiers, he brought his younger brothers and sisters to Chengdu and also entered the academy to study.
"Your article, take it back and read it." Chen Zuocai kindly handed a piece of paper to the student surnamed Dong, who had already been enlightened and able to write some short articles.
More than two-thirds of the words on the paper were roughly crossed out by Chen Zuocai with thick ink, and when he saw that the words he had worked so hard to write had been cut off so much, the child's eyes turned red all of a sudden, and he almost burst into tears.
"The article has to remove the fat to see the bones." Chen Zuocai said seriously: "Your article is upright, very good, and rare, but you don't want these flashy words, and you can't leave a word." Go back and see why I crossed out these words, and if you don't understand, ask me. ”
"Thank you for the sacrificial wine." The child bowed respectfully and withdrew.
"Your words are wrong, nouns can't be overlapped, think about it yourself, can many wolves be said to be jackals, and a large number of jackals can be said to be jackals wolves?" Baixiaosheng.com does not skip words. Chen Zuocai picked up another article and corrected the mistakes to the next student: "All aspects and many aspects can be used, but all aspects cannot be used&;You will write a newspaper and an essay to the imperial court, and the words must conform to the grammar, and you must not create it&;, otherwise it will not only make people think that you are illiterate, but also lose the face of the imperial court." ”
