Chapter 60: Refusal
The more the Song and Xia became enemies, the more prosperous Yanzhou became, and the big businessmen in Guanzhong and Gyeonggi came in droves, they had strong capital and strong backgrounds, and the merchants of Yanzhou came to drink soup instead. However, closing the mutual market and turning it into a private trader will only benefit local businessmen.
It's like a southern city later.
But it is not Yanzhou that benefits, there are too many Qiang people, war zones, and too many unexpected factors, so it is Yanzhou that really benefits. Originally, in the Tang Dynasty, Juzhou was promoted to the capital governor's mansion, laying a good foundation. In the Song Dynasty, because of the independence of Western Xia, it became an important town of "choking the throat of Shuo and transporting it to the Beijing pickaxe". But it is not on the real front line, even in the battle of Sanchuankou, Li Yuanhao did not dare to lead the army to the depths of Yanzhou, so it is more secure than Yanzhou, so businessmen gather and there is an endless stream. The military significance is not as important as that of Yanzhou, but it is more prosperous than Yanzhou.
Another reason is that it is still hilly, with many hills of uneven height, but there are many open areas suitable for farming.
However, the situation in Yunyan County is not very good, the number of households in the entire county is less than 3,000, and if it is a large county, there are only 300 or so households.
But Wang Ju was very happy.
After all, Yunyan County is backward, which also means that prices will be relatively low. If you really go to Yanzhou, a family of four, who wants to eat with their mouths open, will buy everything, and it will cost a lot of money in a year.
Besides, there is also the second chief, Wang Ju did not mention the issue of treatment, and he didn't even need to mention the issue of treatment, but it was impossible not to give a penny, they were all young men in their twenties, and they also had to save money to start a family, and they also had relatives.
This problem is also easy to handle, and after getting the dividends of the Zhu family, take out some money in the form of rewards and give it to the second chief. This is also a fee.
Zhu Huan took Wang Ju to the south of the city.
The rented house of the Zhu family was selected for Wang Juju, with three brick houses, a kitchen on the side, and a utility room, and an ancient well not far away, which was shared by several families. There are some simple furniture in the house, almost all of which are complete, and Wang Ju can basically move in with his bag.
Critical to its location.
In ancient times, officials rarely repaired the yamen, let alone allocated special houses to officials, so there was a story that Yao Chong became the prime minister, but lived in the ancient temple. Zhang Zai did not live in the ancient temple, and also rented a house. Just north of the house that the Zhu family rented for Wang Ju, it was not very far, only about two hundred meters.
After Zhang Zai arrived in Yunyan County, the officials did a good job, worked seriously, issued strict government decrees, and propagated morality, politics and education. Moreover, the population of Yunyan County is small, if the large county is not as large as the population of a later community, there are only 10,000 people, so on the first day of the new year, the surrounding old people will be summoned to the county government for a gathering, set up wine and food to entertain, and then ask the people about the sufferings during the banquet, so that these old people will tell the regulations and notices of the county to the villagers.
In fact, this is how the decree becomes transparent.
Everyone knows what the government wants to do, and the officials below don't dare to do anything wrong.
Then he built a county school on the side of the Kuli River in the south of the city, there are relatively few students, only more than 40 people, no way, Yunyan County is originally a small county, a professor lectures in it, and Zhang Zai also occasionally comes to relieve the doubts of the students.
Wang Ju will also enter this county to study in the future.
After all, Zhang Zaizheng is a county magistrate, and if he wants to deal with government affairs, it is impossible to teach Wang Ju every day.
But it is two different to go to the county without a teacher, it is easy to enter the county without a teacher, Wang Ju is talented, and the Zhu family will pay a little more money to buy a few moves to do insurance, and then enter the county school. Even if Zhang Zai wants to promote education, but few teenagers are willing to come to be students and force it, so Zhang Zai will agree without guaranteeing it.
However, what is the use of going to the county school like that, it is better to go to Yanzhou Prefecture to study.
After worshipping the teacher, it will be different, if you don't understand something after class, Wang Ju will have the qualifications to come to the door to ask for advice, and even set a name, Wang Ju can use Zhang Zai's interpersonal relationships in Confucianism.
But apprenticeship is not easy, it is not easy to accept apprentices, the relationship between teachers and students is no less than the relationship between father and son, you must be patient to teach, including being a person and learning, this is what Han Yu said about preaching and teaching to solve doubts, so decades ago the famous minister Wang Yuyan article was famous all over the world, many students wanted to worship him as a teacher, he only accepted Ding Wei and Sun He as disciples.
Although all kinds of ancient things made Wang Ju want to complain, but this kind of teacher-student rules still made Wang Ju admire, why the teacher is like the father of recreation, and the one who is the teacher is the real teacher!
It is this kind of strict teacher-student rules that the Zhu family thinks that Wang Ju's apprenticeship will be very difficult this time, including Wang Ju's coming to Yunyan County, and he has not revealed it in Yanzhou City.
However, Wang Ju successfully apprenticed, so it would be very convenient to walk 300 steps to the south to the county school, and to walk 100 steps to the north to Zhang Zai's house.
And the rent is very cheap, only 350 Wen rent in January, I heard that the main family surname Liu, opened a shop on the side of Chengbei Avenue, do not go home all the year round, I heard that it is a scholar to rent a house, the main family is very happy, so he rented the house to Wang Ju at a very low price.
Wang Ju looked around and felt very satisfied.
Simply drop off your luggage.
Zhu Qing and Quan Erchang rushed to help, so Wang Ju simply took a pen, ink, paper and inkstone and began to write a self-recommendation letter:
…… The boy's family is poor, his father died early, his mother remarried, and he lives in the countryside, lonely, although he is dedicated to learning to the Tao, he is unremitting in the morning and evening, seeking to deduce the text and explore its meaning, but the Tao is not passed on and the confusion of people is difficult to know. Hearing that Mr. arrived, he was ecstatic, and rushed to Yunyan with the courage to worship under Mr. and listen to Mr. Mister's wonderful sound day and night...... The boy Wang Ju repeatedly wept and bowed down.
The letter of recommendation is not gorgeous, but it is written very sincerely, and the tone is also mournful, and people are somewhat sympathetic.
Then Wang Ju took out the reading experience he had memorized before from his bag.
Some of the radical extractions were removed, and only some mild and valuable were retained, which were put behind the recommendation letter, which is Wang Ju's confidence!
His foundation in the ancient chapters and verses is very poor, but his vision is better than that of many people in this era, including some of the understanding of Confucianism. I believe that Zhang Zai will be interested after seeing these experiences.
As for the poor foundation, after worshipping the name, Zhang Zaixian was cheated himself, did he drive himself out of the division? When the time comes, I believe that Zhang Zai has no choice but to comfort himself, this kid is "self-taught", and it is inevitable that his foundation will be poor.
Wang Ju sealed them again, and under the leadership of Zhu Qing, he found Zhang Zai's home, Zhang Zai worked in the county office, but he also hired an old porter, Wang Ju congratulated him and handed it over to the old porter, asked him to hand it over to Zhang Zai, and went home to wait for news.
…………
"Little brother, you are a scholar, why do you also practice martial arts?" Quan Erchang asked amid the sound of firecrackers.
In the Song Dynasty, there were many people who practiced martial arts, and there were already words such as martial arts, martial arts, and martial arts, as well as various boxing techniques, such as "dragging straight fists", "making horizontal fists", "making foot scissors", "catching legs and waists", and "making fists". However, the famous Taizu Long Fist, Wang Ju has never heard of it, and this is probably usurped by later generations.
Quan Erchang was practicing boxing, and Wang Ju also took Erniu and Sanniu to practice boxing with him.
"Get fit."
"You're a scholar."
"Scholars should also be healthy, Qingli reform is mostly aimed at officials, many gentlemen proposed to eliminate the old, weak, sick, dark, greedy and treacherous ministers. Old, that is, elderly officials, they are too old, their energy is declining, and without energy, they cannot handle government affairs. ”
"Cheng Gong is also old."
"He is a special case, his life is rare in his seventies, how many people are like Cheng Gong?"
"Yes, then what is weak, sick, dark, greedy, violent, treacherous, and evil?"
"Weak is an official with weak ability, and sick is an official who is often sick, and if he is often sick, can he still handle government affairs well? Darkness is the dim official. ”
"Isn't darkness similar to weakness?"
"Yes, so the weak are often read together, but there is still a difference, the weak officials are not necessarily bad, but they are weak, they have good intentions but can't do things, and the dark ones don't have the heart to do things at all, they just mix qualifications and rely on seniority to get promoted. Adultery is the same, very similar, but there are differences, adultery is one set in front of the face, the next set of backs, and placed in the dark to do evil, evil is to use improper means, put in the open to do evil, greed is easy to understand, greed is greed, greed and bribery, violence is cruelty, do not treat the people as people, and manage people's lives. ”
In fact, it is necessary to have ability, to have integrity, and to have both ability and political integrity, and it is a good thing to require officials to have both ability and political integrity, but the standard of Ouyang Xiu and others for both ability and political integrity is that those who support them are both capable and capable of both ability and political integrity, and those who oppose them are even first-class capable ministers Lu Yijian, and first-class good ministers Du Yan are all treacherous and evil villains, making it like child's play, and as a result, the reform and reform failed. When Lao Fan went to the northwest and passed by Lu Yijian's house, he was silent, and it was not until that moment that Lao Fan realized the difficulty of doing things, so he was silent from then on.
But Wang Ju's intention to practice boxing is really to strengthen the body.
The level of medical care in this era is too speechless, the health is not good, and if there is any serious illness in life, I will immediately see the king of Yama.
However, he frowned: "It's been three days, why is there no news from Gong Zhang's family." ”
I came to Yunyan County on the 28th of the lunar month, and today is the first day of the Lunar New Year.
"Maybe Gong Zhang is busy."
Wang Ju shook his head, at this point of population, there is not a large population managed by a township chief or a director of a neighborhood committee, what can he be busy with? He took out the five Jiaozi from the house: "Second Chief, you go to Zhang's house, give this Jiaozi to the concierge of Zhang's family, and inquire about him." ”
"Okay."
After a while, the second chief came back: "I heard from the porter, Zhang Gong saw your worship post, and said a word, it turned out to be the stubborn boy of the security army, and then he threw away your worship post without even looking at it." Little brother, it seems that Zhang Gongxu has his name. ”
Wang Ju was also speechless, but he was very calm-headed, thought about it and said: "No, Yunyan County is strictly said to belong to Cheng Gong's subordinate counties, and there is a layer of relationship, Duke Wen is not thin on Duke Zhang, Duke Wen is also a relative of Duke Cheng, plus Duke Zhang is quite famous in Confucianism, when he comes to Yunyan County, Duke Cheng will inevitably correspond with him, I'm afraid the letter also said something about me, think about it, will there be good words from Cheng Gong's mouth?" ”
Quan Erchang laughed and said, "That's going to be difficult." ”
"It's a bit difficult...... Wang Ju thought for a long time, and after almost an hour, he got up from his chair and said, "Let's go, let's break into Zhanggong's mansion!" ”
