Chapter 202 Fame and fortune move people's hearts

Gan Yuanfeng, who left in despair, was immediately forgotten by everyone, and everyone's eyes returned to Yue Shan and Feng Yi, the pair of master and apprentice.It doesn't matter if it's true or false, it's full of compliments anyway.

Yue Shan is an old driver who has lived for two lifetimes, so he naturally wouldn't take these scenes seriously.Feng Yi didn't have such a high level of concentration, and he just defeated the provocateur, so he was blissful.Excited neck is red.

If it wasn't for the wrong occasion, Yue Shan would have given him two kicks.But write it down in a small book first, and then calculate the general ledger later.

Wang Ji also joined in the fun and asked Feng Yi a few questions, but his questions were all around the Analects.

First, he casually said a few sentences and asked which article it came from, seeing Feng Yi Neng's answer, he casually pointed to an article for him to recite.After Feng Yi recited it, he asked a few more words for him to explain.

His questions went from shallow to deep, and he seemed to be probing step by step.However, those who had breakfast with Yue Shan, Li Gang and others could tell that Wang Ji was deliberately praising them as master and apprentice.

In the morning, Yue Shan said that they only recited the Thousand-Character Classic and the Analects of Confucius, and Wang Ji's questions revolved around the Analects of Confucius.It's just that he doesn't know how deep Feng Yi's understanding of the Analects is, so he asks the easy questions first and then the difficult ones.

If Feng Yi couldn't answer the simple questions, or didn't answer them well, then he wouldn't ask the more difficult questions later.It can be said that it took a lot of thought.

He is using his actual actions to show his favor and support for Yue Shan.Yue Shan knew this well, and cast him a grateful look.

The good thing is that Feng Yi is really studious and has a solid foundation, and he answered a few questions fluently.Especially the final interpretation was quite satisfactory without any mistakes.

Don't think this evaluation is low, answering the connotation of the Analects of Confucius at the age of ten years old is already the best achievement.If the answer is so novel, everyone will not believe it.

This naturally won a burst of appreciation for their master and apprentice.

After that, Yue Shan welcomed everyone into the academy, and everyone took the lead to visit the future working environment.I am extremely satisfied with the huge and luxurious library and office building.

At the same time, the gentlemen of the academy also organized the students and copyists to go to the open space in front of the library to gather in line.

When the uniform chants sounded into the office building, all the celebrities looked over curiously.Then they saw a surprising scene.

150 students lined up in five neat phalanxes and gathered in front of the square in neat steps led by squad leader Sheyu.During this period, only footsteps and chants were heard, and there were no other noises.

Then stand at attention, take a rest, stand at attention, report the number... This whole set of movements is done neatly and full of beauty.

In stark contrast to this was the queue of fifty copyists. Even with the gentlemen from the academy constantly directing them, the queue was crooked and disfigured.

"This... seems to be the method of military training?" Liu Zitong asked in surprise.

"Mr. Zitong is right. This is exactly the method of military strategists. My Tang Dynasty is in danger, and the Turks are like a sharp knife hanging over our heads. The disaster of extinction is just around the corner.

I don't want to teach a group of rotten scholars who only know the basics, let them understand some military forces, and just in case. "Yue Shan said with a heavy tone.

Yue Shan was afraid that the implementation of military tactics in the academy would cause a backlash, so he deliberately explained a few more words.However, he soon realized that he was thinking too much.

"Okay, well said. If all the scholars of my generation have the ambition of Ban Zhongsheng, why worry about the immortality of the Turks." Liu Zitong shouted excitedly.

The sound was so abrupt that Yue Shan was startled.Ban Zhongsheng?It took him a while before he remembered that he was talking about Ban Chao.

Then most famous scholars praised Ban Chao as a model scholar, wishing he could have been born hundreds of years earlier.On the contrary, what Yue Shan was most worried about was that some people would oppose his militarized training, which did not happen.

It was only at this time that Yue Shan really realized that there was a clear difference between the scholars of the Tang Dynasty and the scholars of later generations.If his actions were placed in the Song Dynasty, he would definitely be classified as a heretic.

At the same time, he also thought that it was necessary to rewrite his "Only Respecting Confucianism", maybe it could be written more boldly and straightforwardly.

When the auspicious time arrived, Yueshan invited all famous artists to come to the square to make a collective appearance.

With so many famous teachers and scholars appearing in front of him, the students in the academy were young, but those copyists were so shocked that they almost passed out.

These famous scholars and Confucian scholars usually only appear in legends, and they never have the chance to meet.Who would have thought that seeing so many at once today would still have the opportunity to work together.

It's really worth it to come to the academy to copy books, even if they don't pay them a penny, they are willing to come.At the same time, the professionalism has been raised to the full value. You must copy the book well and express yourself well in front of famous masters.

This is also one of Yue Shan's goals.Copying a book is a purely manual work, and if one word is wrong, the entire page will be discarded. There is a big difference between intentionality and carelessness.

Using money can indeed increase the enthusiasm of these people, but if people's thinking deviates, there will always be a day of slack.

And with so many famous scholars and scholars appearing in front of them, as long as they have some ideals and ambitions, scholars will not easily make mistakes.The efficiency of copying books will naturally increase.

Yue Shan also specially invited Li Gang and Pei Ju to speak a few words as representatives, not to mention the effect, all the copyists were as if they had been beaten to death.

After that came the ribbon cutting.

Yue Shan, Li Gang, and Pei Ju used simple methods to lose the big red flower.Then let Wang Ji and Liu Zitong act as representatives to cooperate to remove the red silk from the plaques in the library and office buildings.

Originally, this job was also for Li Gang and Pei Ju, but who made Wang Ji and Liu Zitong full of goodwill and affection for Yue Shan, so they were temporarily replaced.

Don't underestimate this job of pulling red silk, which is equivalent to giving the two of them a chance to stand out.

After all, only two managers of the current working group of the Great Dictionary have been confirmed, and the other positions have not yet been determined, and there will be some competition in the future.With the matter of pulling the red silk, the two of them had an innate advantage in momentum.

Yue Shan is very clear, although he initiated the big dictionary project, he also provided the work place.He really doesn't have much right to speak.After all, all the famous experts were invited, who would listen to his command for no reason?
Of course, having Pei Ju in his right to speak is indispensable, but if he wants to expand his right to speak, he must do something behind the scenes.

The name of the library is simply Zangshuge. The interesting thing is the name of the office building. Yueshan named it Erya Building.

Erya is the first book in Chinese history that explains the meaning of words, and is also known as the ancestor of dictionaries.It couldn't be more appropriate to use it here.

The last thing is to move all the books into the Zangshu Pavilion and arrange them by category.

Oh, I forgot to mention that most of the long convoy that Pei Ju escorted was loaded with books.Part of it was borrowed by Yue Shan from the internal library collection, and part of it was contributed by various famous scholars.

Why do so many schools of thought actively respond to compiling a large dictionary?Is Li Gang's reputation really that easy to use?Not really.

The real reason lies in the three characters 'interpreting the meaning of characters'. Each word and each group of words may have different meanings in different schools of thought.

Each school hopes that its own interpretation will be the only interpretation, or at least one of them.

If no one from your school comes, will others kindly add the explanation of your school?
Are you kidding, the academic competition is also very fierce, okay?I wish that all my opponents would die, how could I add your theory to the book I edited for no reason.

It would be fine if this dictionary was compiled privately by a few people, but Li Gang clearly used the name "Zhenguan Dictionary" in his letter.Dare to use the emperor's year name means to be recognized by the court.

It is very likely that this large dictionary will be promoted by the imperial court in the form of decrees.

This cannot be ignored. Not only cannot it be ignored, but also actively respond to it, and quickly send a few people to grab the quota.

These famous scholars participated in the working group of the Great Dictionary to fight for the interests of their own schools.If you don’t bring out the classics of your own school, how can you convince others?

Still the same sentence, fame and fortune move people's hearts.

However, Yueshan doesn't care about the competition and wrangling between these schools, on the contrary, he is happy to see the results.Anyway, Li Gang and Pei Ju are going to have a headache, he just needs to see the final result.

Well, by the way, make a copy of all the books brought by these people and put them in the library.If you can, you can get more books through them.

Later, Yue Shan did the same thing, directly leaving the matter of the dictionary working group to Li Gang and Pei Ju, and he didn't even attend the working meeting.

Satisfied with his 'knowledge' that these famous people want to be, only Pei Ji secretly scolded the little fox in his heart.
