Spring and Autumn Academy.

This academy has a long history, and it is said that this academy already existed before the previous dynasty was established, and there were also great Confucians in those years.

Like the Lee Shoin, it is also located on the outskirts of the city and occupies a large area of land.

However, unlike Xinxing Academy, there is not much academic atmosphere around this Spring and Autumn Academy, but instead there are many people who live in brick houses and thrive here.

At first glance, I thought it was a manor.

Walking to the edge of the fence of the Spring and Autumn Academy, Qiu Yan's attention was focused on the farmer, looking at the farmland from time to time.

When he was in Mafu before, Mr. Zheng entered without telling him, and after seeing Qiu Yan, he told him that the Spring and Autumn Academy was invited.

Upon learning of this, Qiu Yan did not continue to stay, but under the leadership of Mr. Zheng and accompanied by Ma Shou, he left the Eastern Capital and came here.

As soon as Ma Shou, who was walking next to him, arrived here, he began to introduce: "The land here is owned by the academy, rented to these people for farming, only forty percent of the harvest is handed over every year, and the rest is left to themselves. ”

He, a protégé of Li Zong Academy, is very familiar with the Spring and Autumn Academy, and he feels like a protégé of the Spring and Autumn Academy.

"I see. Qiu Yan nodded.

The peasants worked hard for a year, but Zuihou had to hand over forty percent of the harvest, nearly half, if it was in Qiu Yan's previous life, it was almost unimaginable, but in this shijie, the land is all landlords, and those who work in it are tenants. In their concept, it is natural for them to help others farm in other people's land, and it is natural for others to take the lion's head, and what they leave for themselves is the remuneration for their labor, and if they keep too much, they will be regarded as a reward.

In fact, the so-called tenants may also have thin fields at home, but first, there are few fields. Second, it may be more scattered and unsuitable for work, and thirdly, the family has a large population and cannot be supported by a little thin land, so they have to come out to farm for the landlord's family, so as to supplement the family and make it difficult to survive.

Listening to Qiu Yan's words, Ma Shou smiled and said, "This is also the kindness of Meng Taizu of the Spring and Autumn Academy. There are no taxes, no need to pay grain, and these preferential treatment can be given to tenant farmers. ”

When Qiu Yan heard this, he still nodded silently.

Turning over forty percent is said to be preferential. This did not surprise him, you must know that in Kennan Road, there are many gentlemen and large landowners. At least seventy or eighty percent of the harvest was to be harvested, leaving only two or three percent of the rations for the tenant farmers.

On the one hand, this is because this shijie person does not have the concept of distribution according to work. On the other hand, part of the grain rent collected must be paid to the imperial court as a tax, and in order to share and make up for this part of the loss, the part of the tax will naturally be passed on to the peasants who cultivate the land.

Moreover, Qiu Yan came all the way to the north, and he had also seen those who unloaded the mill and killed the donkey, but they didn't leave a little, forcing the tenant farmers to die, anyway, for those who hold the land, they don't have to worry about no one farming, even if they force the tenant farmers to death this year, there are still people rushing to do it in the coming year.

"In this era, there are indeed many things worth doing, but I am only a lifter now, and I can only experience humanity, and the Shinto aspect has not completely stabilized, so I can't ......start for the time being."

While Qiu Yan was thinking, Mr. Zheng took the two into the courtyard enclosure.

As soon as he entered it, Qiu Yan realized that the spirit of literature and thought entrenched in it was different from that of the Liberal Academy, and the literature and thinking of the Spring and Autumn Academy seemed more restrained and heavy.

Along the way, there are houses like farmhouses, and Qiu Yan captures a bit of history from them.

In some rooms, the sound of reading aloud is coming out, and in front of some houses, there are three or two students sitting on the ground, or reading, or talking, and even some people are tidying up a vegetable garden in front of the house, and are sprinkling water and fertilizing.

"Compared to the Lee Shogun, the atmosphere here is much more relaxed and calm. ”

Qiu Yan began to compare the similarities and differences between the two academies in his heart.

Next to him, Ma Shou was still talking, introducing the Spring and Autumn Academy's use of the surrounding land, shiyan Ida system, this Spring and Autumn Academy is rumored to be the inheritance of Taishi Gong, naturally biased towards historians, advocating the rule of three generations in ancient times, advocating Ida, since it has its own land, of course it will be shiyan.

"It seems that although the reputation of this Spring and Autumn Academy is not as good as that of Rizong, its heart is not small, and now Shiyan Ida must want to promote the world in the future. ”

Qiu Yan was thinking about it, so he listened to Ma Shou's words and talked about the new law that the imperial court was about to promulgate-

"The cultivator has his land is the right way, the well field is the foundation, can be kept forever, but unfortunately many people can not see through this, now, the imperial court is about to spread the law of Changping, with the money and grain of the Changping and Guanghui Cang as the book, and the loan is lent to the farmers, and when it expires, it will be repaid with silver money, and then levy interest, which is not the cart before the horse, and the people compete for profit. ”

Ma Shou said, and shook his head: "That black-faced prince is too much to take for granted, he thinks that by formulating laws and regulations, the world can be as he wishes, but he doesn't know how many constraints there are when it is implemented, and he misappropriates Changping Guangguang Huicang, which is not an urgent matter......"

Subsequently, this Ma Shoushu fell a lot of new laws, and it seemed that he was complaining, but when it fell into Qiu Yan's ears, he was thoughtful.

"Ma Shou is testing me, it seems that his political views are very clear. ”

Although he was clear about the other party's purpose, Qiu Yan did not express much opinion, and avoided talking about it on the grounds that he did not know much about the new law.

Ma Shou did not doubt that although ordinary students pay attention to these policy things, they will not know too much, and there are not many information means in this era that can allow ordinary students to understand their country in an all-round way.

The two were still talking, but Mr. Zheng, who was walking in front, suddenly stopped, and then he turned around and his eyes fell on Qiu Yan: "It's already here, Qiu Gongzi, you can go in by yourself." ”

"Oh, here's ......."

Hearing this, Qiu Yan stopped what he was saying, turned his gaze, and his gaze passed over Mr. Zheng and fell behind him.

This is an attic, with a slightly dilapidated appearance, but in Qiu Yan's perception, he can capture an unusual artistic conception from it.

Ma Shou glanced at the attic, and then said: "This is the Spring and Autumn Book Pavilion, which is the library of the academy, which contains a wide variety of books, and there are many unique books and ancient books. ”

"Spring and Autumn Library......" Qiu Yan looked at the Library, then nodded, saluted Mr. Zheng and Ma Shou, and walked forward.

In front of this book pavilion, there are three stone steps, Qiu Yan raised his foot and stepped on it, and as soon as the soles of his feet fell, he noticed a thick and majestic atmosphere.

He immediately realized that this was the breath that his perception had spontaneously captured, and his heart sank, and he took a step and walked up in one breath.

As soon as he arrived at the door, the closed door opened, and an old voice came from it.

"Come in. ”

Qiu Yan was not polite, and raised his feet to cross the threshold.

Call!

The moment he stepped inside, the door behind him closed automatically without wind.

There was silence in the library, and the doors and windows around it were closed, so the light was dim, but with Qiu Yan's shili, he could still see the scene inside.

What catches the eye is a tall bookcase one after another, and each row of the shelves is filled with books.

In the air, there is an antique smell.

Rustle rustle......

A soft sound came from within, and Qiu Yan could tell that it was the sound of turning the pages, and he followed the sound and walked over.

This voice came from the depths of the library, the more you went inside, the dimmer the light, and the smell of the old breath became more and more intense, walking and walking, Qiu Yan's heart actually had a little illusion, feeling that he seemed to be away from anger and entered the netherworld.

Finally, he saw a figure in the depths of the library.

It was an old man, with a white beard, simple clothes, patched, and a desk in front of him, on which was a book, and the man was lying on the book, his head moving slightly, as if he was reading on his stomach.

Looking at such a strange scene, Qiu Yan didn't say anything, just watched quietly, but gradually, there was a trace of displeasure in his eyes.

He had already guessed that the person in front of him was the old man in Mr. Zheng's mouth, but because of this, he was dissatisfied.

The other party suddenly invited, he didn't even finish the meal, so he came over directly, but now he is hanging here, that is not something that can be covered up by a senior master, he Qiu Yan is not a protégé of the Spring and Autumn Academy, and he is not a servant of the Ma family, so there is no reason to forcibly endure it.

However, just as the dissatisfaction in his heart was surging more and more, Qiu Yan suddenly woke up.

"No, this anger comes for no reason, even if I am dissatisfied with this person, I can't control my emotions......"

With a move in his heart, Qiu Yan's perception spread, but he didn't find anything unusual.

"When you're old, your eyes are not good, your ears are not good, don't blame, don't blame. ”

At this time, the old man lying on the table suddenly raised his head, revealing a wrinkled face and a pair of cloudy old eyes.

These eyes were dim and unfocused, but when Qiu Yan saw them, he felt a vast artistic conception enveloping him, and the next moment, he seemed to see the changes in the long river of history in the eyes of the other party.

However, this feeling flashed by, and then I heard the old man smile and say: "If it's you, I'll say that although this eastern capital is big, there are only a few people who can achieve Wenxin, but they all need to be honed. ”

"Huh?" Hearing this, Qiu Yan narrowed his eyes, loose on the outside and tight on the inside.

"Young man, don't worry," the old man grinned, the teeth in his mouth had already fallen out, "You have just gathered the fire in your heart, at this time there are the most distracting thoughts, and the slightest carelessness will change your temperament, you have to burn little by little, otherwise if you accumulate it, you will attract demons." ”

"Heart Demon?" Hearing the other party mention the fire in his heart, Qiu Yan made up his mind, "I don't know if the old man asked me to come over, what do you have to say?"

When the old man heard this, he still smiled: "The old man asked you to come here to ask, do you want to enter Shilin in advance?" (to be continued......)
