Great Song Super Scholar

Chapter 232 County School Speech
Zhang Sanniang originally wanted to have a good talk with her son about his lifelong affairs, but don't make up her own mind like Su Liang, and finally quarreled with her family, her son was admitted to Jinshi, and there were too many temptations outside, she didn't want her son to suddenly bring an unknown The little lady went home.

However, she accidentally found a note in a pile of high-quality clothing materials that her son bought for her. It said 'I hope my aunt likes it', and it was signed by Jupe.

Zhang Sanniang gave up the idea of ​​talking to her son.

She has always been fond of Zhu Pei, that little lady who is knowledgeable, charming, and looks like a fairy.

In the past, she always felt that her son was not good enough for the Zhu family, so she didn't dare to think about it, but now, she suddenly found that her son was completely worthy of Zhu Pei.

In a blink of an eye, Fan Ning stayed at home for two days, spending the most leisurely time of the two days, but Fan Ning also knew that there were some things he had to do.

On the morning of the third day, Fanning took a small boat to the county seat.

Today he is wearing a light blue fine linen deep coat, a gauze hat on his head, and a folding fan in his hand. He looks very leisurely, like a scholar visiting a friend in the city.

The boat stopped slowly on the pier opposite the county school, Fan Ning got ashore and walked leisurely towards the gate of the county school.

At this time, the county school was in class time, the gate was ajar, and an old porter was dozing against the wall. As soon as Fan Ning entered the gate, a domineering shout came from behind: "Stop! What are you doing?"

Fan Ning was stunned for a moment. In the past, scholars from outside never asked questions when they entered the county school. Why are they asking now?
Looking back at the old porter, it seems that he has never seen it before, and he should be a newcomer.

Fan Ning saluted with fists in his hands, "I'm here to find Zhang Jiaoyu, I used to be his student."

The old porter looked at Fan Ning, and saw that although he was wearing fine linen and deep clothes, he had an extraordinary appearance. He didn't look like an ordinary scholar, so he didn't dare to underestimate him, so he said, "What's your name, I'll let you know!"

"Under Fanning!"

The concierge felt that the name 'Fan Ning' sounded familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had heard it, so he hurried to inform Zhang Jiaoyu.

Fan Ning quickly opened his fan, stood at the gate and waited patiently.

After a while, a large group of professors rushed out of the building, the leader was Zhang Ruoying, the instructor of the county school, and the concierge followed behind in fear. It seemed that he finally remembered who Fan Ning was?
"Fanning, when did you come back?"

Zhang Ruoying stepped forward and took Fan Ning's hand and asked affectionately.

"Reporting to the instruction, the students returned the day before yesterday, went home to visit their parents, and then came to the county school to visit the teachers."

"Okay! It is the greatest honor of our county school and even Wu County to be admitted to the No. 1 child department. We are waiting for you to come back and celebrate."

Fan Ning showed a look of fear on his face, "Just meet the teachers and teachers, and skip the celebration!"

Everyone laughed, and Zhang Ruoying said with a smile: "We don't care how the county celebrates, but the county school wants to celebrate. Dean Luo, Dean Qin, Dean Zhang, and Dean Yang, you four go and get the students Let's all call together and meet our new Jinshi!"

Fan Ning was about to object, but Zhang Ruoying waved her hand, "You are their role model, and they should see you."

Fan Ning had no choice but to smile wryly, and asked, "Is Zhao Xuezheng here?"

"He has now been promoted to the secretary of Pingjiang Prefecture, in charge of education in Pingjiang Prefecture. He currently lives in Changzhou County and has resigned from all positions in the county school at the beginning of the year."

Fan Ning nodded, probably not seeing Zhao Xiuwen in the county school, and he would meet him in Changzhou County later, Fan Ning stopped asking more questions, met with the professors, and then followed Zhang Ruoying into the building.

The news that Fan Ning came to the county school caused a huge sensation among the county scholars. As early as a few days ago, when Fan Ning passed the No. Sleepless, lying in bed discussing Fan Ning's past at the county school, overnight, Fan Ning has become the idol of most of the county school students.

On the county school square, nearly a thousand students had already lined up. Amid the warm applause, Fan Ning had no choice but to bite the bullet and walk up to the high platform.

Looking at the expectant faces under the high platform, Fan Ning also gradually calmed down. He pondered for a moment, and then said loudly to the crowd: "Zhang Jiaoyu asked me to impart some experience to everyone. To be honest, I don't know what to say. , everyone’s conditions are different, and the rising trajectory is bound to be different. If you must find a common experience, I think there is only one, and that is diligence. Diligence is the key to all doors. Only diligence can make you stand out in the fierce imperial examination competition. Survive and go to success in the end.”

Fan Ning took a deep breath, and said slowly: "A student once asked me if I could pass the imperial examination if I read scriptures well and practiced calligraphy well? If you still think so now, I can tell you that you will never pass the exam. Imperial examination!
The imperial examination is not only about the scriptures, but the scriptures are just an introduction. The imperial examination is actually about whether you understand the sufferings of the people, whether you understand the laws of the court, and whether you understand the difficulty of governing the country. Everything requires you to read a lot, go deep into life for a long time, and think for a long time. All this requires a lot of time. Where does the time come from?Diligence is the answer.

To make another analogy, this time the imperial examination countermeasures test is about the county magistrate's decision. Is there an answer in the scriptures?No!If you haven't memorized "Song Xingtong", you don't want to pass this question at all, but even if you have memorized "Song Xingtong", you are not familiar with the decrees issued by the imperial court, and you don't know the steps of the county magistrate's decision. You can't do it either.

But what if the county school didn't teach everyone to learn "Song Xingtong"?I just want to tell everyone that the county school is just a place for learning, and the professors hardly assign extracurricular homework. Why?Just leave time for everyone to read and study by themselves.

I asked Feng Jing, the number one scholar, when did he watch "Song Xingtong"?He told me that he had memorized it when he was studying in the county school, and there was "Song Xing Tong" in the library of our county school. How many people have read it?

Everyone has to reflect, where is the gap between yourself and the champion?If you can't think of it, then I will tell you the answer, the difference is two words, hard work! "

Fan Ning's words drew thunderous applause from the students. I have to say that Fan Ning's words inspired everyone greatly. Everyone wanted to rush into the library immediately and start studying hard. The professors were also greatly shocked. For this reason, the county school revised the regulations of the study tour, changed the time of the study tour to once a year, and required the students to have a deep understanding of the sufferings of the people. Each student had to study for at least five months before successfully completing their studies.

Until decades later, the first thing for the freshmen of the county school to enter the county school is to study and understand Fan Ning's speech in the second year of Huangyou.

Fan Ning finished his trip to the county school, and then went to the county government to visit Gao Fei, the county magistrate. To Fan Ning's relief, Gao Fei happened to go to the capital for business, allowing him to escape the troubles of a series of celebrations.

However, Fan Ning still received a generous reward from Yang Xiancheng. Pingjiang Mansion, Wu County and dozens of big gentry rewarded him a total of 400 taels of silver and 1000 acres of land. The family rewarded him with [-] taels of silver.

This is also the main purpose of Fan Ning's visit to the county seat today. How could he not want such generous rewards?
The golden house in the book is fully reflected at this time. If you are admitted to Juren, you can change from a poor scholar to a country gentleman with hundreds of acres of land, and if you are admitted to Jinshi, you will suddenly become a wealthy family.

There is a tradition of rewarding imperial examinations in various parts of the Song Dynasty. Governments at the prefecture and county levels will allocate official land as rewards. The silver rewards mainly come from donations from wealthy and gentry families. The barren prefectures and counties are slightly less. Taxis will be rewarded generously.

At dusk, in Baodai Restaurant in Changqiao Town, Wu County, Li Dashou and Su Liang greeted Fan Ning.

Su Liang had quarreled with his family because of Cheng Yuanyuan's matter, and took refuge in Li Dashou's house.

His grandfather Su Jinwen firmly opposed marrying a local tyrant in Yangzhou. In his opinion, his grandson should marry a dignitary or clan in the capital, otherwise, what's the point of working hard to get a Jinshi?
But Su Liang's parents blamed him for deciding the marriage without discussing with his family.

All in all, almost no one supports Su Liang's love.

But Su Liang, who has always been weak, is unexpectedly tough in this matter. He would rather fall out with his family than change his original intention, and he wants to marry Cheng Yuanyuan as his wife.

After drinking a few glasses of wine, Fan Ning shook his head and said: "Xiao Su, I think you are still a little impatient about this matter, you shouldn't tell your family so early, you are only 13 years old, no matter your age or your official career, you They are far from the point of discussing marriage, you should tell your family in a few years."

Su Liang drank the wine in his glass, and said with a sneer, "What's the point of saying that now, I've already told my family, and it caused a huge uproar, what do you think I should do now?"

Fan Ning shrugged, "I advise you to report to Beijing as early as possible! This matter can only be changed by time. Anyway, it is either you compromise or your family compromises. There is no third way."

Speaking of this, Fan Ning put a money shop deposit ticket on the table, "This is the 160 taels you won, and it is stored in Zhu's money shop. The code number for withdrawing money is five nines."
