Chapter 421 Thriving!
Time flies, and half a year has passed without realizing it. Xinxian School in Shatian County has been completed. Xinxian School, which covers dozens of acres, has red walls and white tiles, bright windows and clean windows, bamboo and flowers in the yard, green pines and green cypresses stand in the forest, and it has swept away the decadent and old posture before, and it seems to be a complete transformation.
It is no exaggeration to say that the entire Shatin County School is the only one in the county town. Outside the Shatin County School, not only are there tall merit monuments, but there are also many people in the county school every day. It is really a great scholar in the coming and going, and there are no white people in the coming and going.
Lu Zheng re-executes the rice entitlements that Shatian County has been exempted from for many years, and any scholar who studies in the county will be responsible for food and accommodation.
Anyone who records the merit monument donation of 500 taels of silver can send a descendant to the county school to study. The county school specially invites friends of the old masters and Lu Zheng personally supervises it.
In addition, Lu Zheng also provided convenient conditions for scholars in Liangzhou. In Liangzhou Prefecture, any scholar who is willing to enter Shatian County will have an annual salary of 50 taels of silver, and free food and accommodation.
Anyone who is a student in Liangzhou who is famous for his or her fame and fortune, if he is willing to enter Shatian County School, Lu Zheng is willing to pay the imperial court for rice, which is the same as the student in the county.
As soon as Lu Zheng's two policies were released, they caused great turmoil in Liangzhou. Liangzhou has always been a military center, and scholars are not as good as those in Jiangnan.
Now, after the talented man from Jiangnan arrived in Liangzhou, he gave such high courtesy to scholars, so why didn’t he flock to him? There were many Juren in Liangzhou. After he got Juren, because it was difficult to get to the Ministry of Personnel, there were many people who did not make up for the lack of flaws. Apart from a few wealthy family and had no worries about food and clothing, there were also some Juren who had a reputation as a master and did not have a good situation.
Lu Zheng gave such courtesy, and several juren came to Shatian County School. They lived in the county school. Not only did they have a generous salary, but they were also respected. More importantly, they could also be with scholars every day. Such an environment was something they had never dared to think about before!
Shatian County School, with many talents, he brought scholars from Liangzhou to the same place. The official from Longyou School was named Shaluo. When this incident was heard, Shaluo was shocked. He actually went from Yincheng to Liangzhou and Shatian County School. After seeing the environment and popularity of Shatian County School, he was very excited and praised Lu Zheng. He also wrote three couplets and two poems in one breath, one of which reads:
"The Lu family Lin's son is like a treasure jade..." Lu Zheng was directly knocked to the thunder by this poem. He asked the people below to inquire about Shalu's origin and realized that Shalu was not a Han Chinese, but a genuine Hu people.
The Hu people had long returned to the Great Kang Dynasty, and Shaluo's real sister was the favorite concubine of Qi Lingkai, the younger brother of Qi Lingxiong, King of Jingxi. Shaluo loved Confucianism since he was a child. He was keen and extremely intelligent at a young age. He passed the imperial examination at the age of 20 and went to Beijing to pass the imperial examination at the age of 22. He was another extremely rare student who won the title of Jinshi.
In recent years, Longyou has been unstable and turbulent, and many places do not pay attention to academic research. The road to study is also facing an embarrassing situation in Longyou, because now, more than half of the officials in Longyou are appointed as director of the Jingxi Palace.
Even if scholars pass the Jinshi, they do not get the recognition of the Jingxi Palace, and they can't stay in Jingxi. Many scholars, even military generals from the army, are more respected by the Jingxi King and hold important positions in various places in Longyou.
This situation made many poor princes even more disheartened. Although Shaluo was also dissatisfied with this, he was powerless.
But now, a small county magistrate in Shatian County has done such a big thing, making scholars in Liangzhou become dignified again. You must know that although scholars are useless, scholars are still very energetic.
These people can speak and write, so Shaluo heard about Liangzhou, and Shaluo praised Lu Zheng very much, wrote poems and couplets, and these things were passed down by scholars. For a time, Shatian County showed its grace throughout Longyou, and many scholars from all over Longyou came to hear about it.
These scholars were to see the style of the county school in Shatian County and the rumored essays, and to get to know the talented man in Jiangnan and the great hero of the county school.
Lu Zheng lives in the county school and welcomes and sees off every day. A small county town has gathered hundreds of scholars for a long time. This trend is not even comparable to Yincheng, the city of the Longyou Headmaster.
Shatin County is very famous, and on the political level, there is another thing that shocked Liangzhou, that is, Shatin County, which has always been plagued or inflamed, has overpaid taxes under its jurisdiction this year, ranking first among the thirteen counties in Liangzhou.
The news came out, and the Liangzhou officialdom was violently shaking. This was incredible. How could this be possible?
Liangzhou magistrate Duan Runan personally visited Shatian County. In addition to the six-bedroom history, Zhaomo, experience and others in the prefecture, there were also county magistrates from several other counties who came here in person.
The scene was so big, with gongs and drums and firecrackers ringing. Wang Wenyuan led all the officials in the county government to go out to greet him. Looking at his old face, he was so happy today.
In the past six months, Wang Wenyuan has been tolerant and restrained. The battle with Kou Xiangwen has changed from open to secret. Kou Xiangwen is responsible for doing things and he is responsible for picking peaches. The two of them have their own scheming and are old rivals for many years. Wang Wenyuan finally took advantage of the higher-ranking position, and Kou Xiangwen is still inferior to him.
As for Lu Zheng, Wang Wenyuan completely let go. He couldn't get involved in Lu Zheng's work in the county school. In addition, Lu Zheng's work in the county school is getting bigger and bigger, and he is not easy to interfere, for fear that if he accidentally gets involved, he will be lucky or a disaster!
Lu Zheng is an official from the capital, which is rare in Longyou. Lu Zheng came after offending Dai Xiang in the capital. On the other hand, Lu Zheng also met the emperor.
This young man was not simple. He burned a few fires as soon as he arrived in Shatian County. He thundered in silence, which made Wang Wenyuan clearly feel the power hidden behind him.
There is a saying that if you can't afford to offend, can't you hide? Wang Wenyuan knew Kou Xiangwen's roots, so he had to pinch him. But if he was afraid of Lu Zheng, he had no idea of the roots, so he could only hide.
Whether he was fighting or hiding, he finally came safely in the past six months. Shatian County was in the limelight in the entire Liangzhou today. The prefect led many Liangzhou officials to visit, which is enough to illustrate the problem.
More than a dozen official sedan chairs came from the official road in the distance. The ceremonial war in front was beating gongs and drums, solemn and solemn. When approaching the county government, the sedan chair stopped. The prefect Duan Runan was not handsome, with a short figure, a slightly fat figure, and a two-character beard at the corners of his lips, which were particularly abrupt.
He got off the sedan chair, and Wang Wenyuan and others immediately approached happily, and Lu Zheng was squeezed behind.
Wang Wenyuan smiled and piled up thick folds with an old face, saying, "Mr. Duan is here, our Shatian is so bright. I welcome Lord Duan and all the people in Shatian!"
Kou Xiangwen was not willing to fall behind and said, "Mr. Kou Xiangwen welcomes Lord Duan, dear sirs, please!"
Lu Zheng stood behind, and there seemed to be no good opportunity to speak, because except Duan Runan, the other county officials at the level of county magistrates were familiar with each other, but Lu Zheng and they didn't know each other.
Besides, Kou Xiangwen and Wang Wenyuan were clenching. On the surface, they were in harmony, but in secret, Lu Zheng was not far away to get involved.
So he followed Dian Shizhubo, smiling and hit Qian'er, completely treating himself as a supporting role. So Kou Xiangwen and Wang Wenyuan had a long time fuss, and Duan Runan suddenly said:
"What? Didn't Lord Lu Zheng, Shatian County come today?"
Lu Zheng is young and is wearing a seventh-grade official uniform. Anyone can recognize him. Obviously Duan Runan said this on purpose. Wang Wenyuan and Kou Xiangwen were stunned for a moment. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Lu Zheng walked forward calmly and calmly:
"Xiaguan is Lu Zheng. I have been very happy that Lord Duan is a talented man in the northwest. I am very honored to meet him today! I just met Lord Zun of the County Master and the Old Friends again and had a happy chat. I did not disturb everyone's interest. Please forgive me!"
Lu Zheng said that he wanted everyone to let him be content, but his expression was not timid at all. Although he was only a seventh-rank official, his temperament did not enter anyone present. Looking at his age, everyone couldn't help but praise him for being famous and innocent.
Duan Runan and his group were invited into the county government office. After everyone walked around, they felt bored. Duan Runan yelled to go to the county school. The county school happened to be the day of school today, and from a distance, he heard Lang Lang's scholar coming from the county school.
Look at these scholars, some wear white robes, some wear light green robes, and some wear gray robes. These brand-name clothing looks ordinary at first glance, but when you look closely, you will find that the robes of the same color are actually of the same style.
All the adults who came here are knowledgeable people and were infected by the atmosphere for a while. They only felt that these more than 20 acres of schools were different from other places. Although they did not collect books, they could smell the fragrance of books everywhere.
Although the environment of this county school is not in Jiangnan, it has the charm of Jiangnan. Needless to say, these are all done by Lu Zheng.
"Wen Yuan, look at the clothes of these students, how do they have different personal tones, but the styles are similar? Could it be that there is a deep meaning in it?" Duan Runan suddenly asked.
"Uh..." Wang Wenyuan was speechless. He knew nothing. He hadn't been to the county school for several months. Now Lu Zheng in Shatian County is in charge of big business. Wang Wenyuan is completely unable to get involved in this area.
Seeing this, Kou Xiangwen sneered in his heart and said, "Mr. County Master, you have to let Lord Lu say this! It is all Lord Lu's contribution to our Shatian County School as a student today!
