Chapter 14 Quartet to vote (middle)

When the theory that the earth revolves around the sun came, Gande finally figured out the reason for the retrograde of Mars that he observed, and lost interest in astrology and fortune-telling.

According to his calculations, if we can calculate the running cycle of the five stars of gold, wood, water, fire and earth, let alone retrograde, even the auspicious signs of "the phoenix is ​​in the courtyard, the red grass is growing, the rich grass is beautiful, the nectar is moist, the sweet spring is coming out, the sun and the moon are like a combination, and the five stars are like pearls" are just a coincidence of calculation.

The people said that if you hear the truth in the morning, you can die in the evening.

He was the first to hear about the Great Dao, so he naturally abandoned the superstitious ideas he had before.

However, the great way is endless. The result of the first hearing of the Tao is not to feel satisfied, but to pursue and learn more.

This is why he did not go to office in Chu State but wandered outside the Mo family's museum.

Although he has been calculating and observing the starry sky all year round, he is not such a hermit who does not know the world and does not live with the fire of the world. On the contrary, he is very familiar with the world.

Otherwise, it would have been impossible to go to the Jixia Academy in Linzi, Qi, where people were crowded with people, and made a huge name.

He had already thought about how to enter the museum where the Mo family was, and had some copper coins in his arms. When there were few people in the evening, he walked to the museum.

The guards were locals, they recognized Gande and knew that he was a person that many nobles wanted to make friends with.

"What are you doing? The county magistrate is passing on the king's order. If a person from Chu enters the house to see Mo, he needs to have the consent of the county magistrate. The magistrate of the county magistrate wants to interact with you too. Can tutor have a pass?"

Gande shook his head and said, "I'm not going to meet those Momen, I just want to borrow their Mile Miles and see the Sui Star. It's nothing serious."

While speaking, he took out some copper coins and delivered them to the guards.

The soldiers of Chu State were all feudal conscripts, without military pay, but were locally recruited under the premise of feudal system.

They are all farmers who are short of money. Now that they have money, they can really buy a lot of good things. Who can't get over money?

He recruited and served without paying military salaries, but only provided food, and had to delay his family's farming work. He did not rely on military achievements to obtain fiefs like those nobles. When he saw the money, he immediately reached out to take it over and thought to himself: "It's just right to buy some cloth for the children. The cotton cloth on Si is indeed better than linen."

I thought again that Mr. Gande was also a famous figure in Yangxia, so there was no need to be afraid of anything. After collecting the money, he looked around and saw that there was no one around, so he let Gande in, and then took out some money and divided it with the soldiers guarding with him. Everyone was very happy.

After Gan De entered, the people who were entertaining in front were obviously a little surprised. Since the chaos in the Song Dynasty, the Mo family houses have no longer been able to enter and exit openly and honestly as before.

Although nominally, as long as the county official's order is still available, ordinary tourists and young people in the city do not have such social circles, and no outsiders have visited each other for several months.

After Gande reported his name, the man went to report. Soon a middle-aged man came out and spoke in a standard Yangxia dialect, "It turned out to be Mr. Gande."

Someone brought tea. A few years ago, tea began to become popular in scholars and the market circles, and it was directly brewed and drank, bypassing the evolution of boiling with rice soup, salt and spices.

Gande is not unfamiliar with tea. When he was studying hard before, he often stayed up late to drink by himself.

Gande knew that the other party had not paid much attention to it, so he picked up the tea and sniffed it. He didn't like the strong fragrance of jasmine flowers. He thought it was too tacky, but he didn't say anything.

After the other party politely spoke, Gan De asked curiously: "I wonder if you are from Yangxia too?"

The Mozhe on the opposite side nodded and smiled, "Yes, I am from Yangxia. I went to Sishang eight years ago. Now I am back in Yangxia. Mr. I don't know my name, but I have heard more of my name."

Gande did not beat around the bush and said directly: "I want to go to Si Shang to study the Astronomy Nine Numbers. But I still have many family members and wives, and I cannot go alone. But if I take my family with me, I am afraid that it will be inconvenient to walk and will be sad."

The ink master on the opposite side was slightly stunned.

There are characters like him in many big cities and towns. After joining Sishang, they were sent back to the local area, mainly to attract some local young talents to Sishang.

Before the Song Dynasty, there was no restriction on the Mo family's activities in Chu State, especially in the fiefs of some Chu nobles who were originally friends with the Mo family.

There are many restrictions nowadays, and I have not seen anyone in the museum for many days.

He was not only a local, but also of course he knew Gande's reputation. Seeing Gande say this, the man hesitated and said, "Sir, should you know the policy of Si Shang? Everyone in Si Shang is equal, and no one is allowed to follow the disciples of Li who are dependent. Even if they are your relatives, they will no longer have any subordinate relationship with you after they go."

Gande didn't care. There was indeed a lot of land in his family, and some relatives came to surrender to him, depended on him, and worked on his land.

This is his main income and the economic foundation that supports him to study astronomy through full-time.

But if he had heard of the truth and his mother's death was over, the mystery of those stars was not worth mentioning compared to these lands, as long as he could go with his family.

Hearing the other party say that, Gan De said freely: "I have heard of the righteousness of Si Shang, and I won't go too much. There are several old servants who follow me all year round and it's hard to abandon it. After I go, I will follow the rules of the Mo family. He will leave if he wants, and he will stay if he wants. I will also pay money every month."

"It's only the same thing, I need to ask clearly."

The man opposite said, "Sir, please speak."

Gan Dedao: "You Mo family also said that the economic foundation determines the relationship. My land is all in Chu State, and part of it is still a fiefdom, and I am not going to take the other part of it. I will give it to the children of the clerk who follow me."

"After I arrive in Sishang, I always have to earn some income."

"I also know that your Si Shang's knowledge has its own system, which is different from what I have learned. After I go, I will not be able to surpass those who have been in Si Shang for many years. For example, the woman who "Tang Yao's silhouette is one foot and five, and Dayu's silhouette is one foot and six." I can't catch up with her knowledge."

"After I go, I need to learn words again and learn all kinds of calculations. My money can support me for a while. But I have a wife and children... I also know that Si Shang is self-reliant, but my wife and I have been with me for many years, but I don't know the method of textiles, but I know how to read and learn some calculations..."

"this……"

Speaking of this, Gande finally felt a little hesitant. This was the first time he talked to people about issues such as "salary". Although the Mohist school has been promoting the saying "It is natural to ask people for money when they work," he was influenced by his previous beautiful morals and felt embarrassed to talk about money.

The man on the opposite side laughed and said, "Why should you hesitate when you sir? People have to support themselves, how can you do without money? You can't do your studies hungry. We are just charity soldiers and have a certain amount of military pay every month, let alone anything else?"

"Sir, go to Si Shang first. I have the right to recommend it. You can go to the preparatory course for the school first. I know the reputation of my teacher and are qualified. I will pay some money every month, although it is not much, it is enough to eat, drink, and dress."

"If the teacher can be admitted to the school, he will have more money every month. In the future, the teacher will naturally have to work in the 'Wuxian Hall'. It is definitely no problem to support the family with a monthly salary, and the salary is definitely not low."

"In addition, if the teacher can do anything, and pass the review by the audit committee, there is another amount of money to take, and this amount of money is quite large."

"If you have any knowledge that has passed down from generation to generation, such as some family-born knowledge that is not passed down from generation to generation, then you have money to take."

"As for the wife of Mr. Wang... it's a bit inconvenient. She can understand the literature and calculate the numbers and could have been a teacher. But... If Mr. Wang is in Peiyi or Pengcheng, if she stays there, it will be difficult for her to be a teacher directly... Because Peiyi and Pengcheng do not lack teachers, and I am afraid that the teacher may not be willing to go to remote places."

When Gan De heard this, he said in surprise: "I have heard that there are many people in Si Shang who know literacy, and the education is prosperous all over the world. Could it be that there is no shortage of teachers and teachers now?"

The man shook his head and smiled, "It's not that there are no shortages, but that's not that there are big cities like Peiyi and Pengcheng. Si Shang advocates that everyone is equal, and men and women are naturally equal. Women's best job is to be doctors, teachers, accountants, etc., and even if they become teachers, they naturally want to stay in big cities like Peiyi Pengcheng. Therefore, there are so many strange women in these big cities, which is difficult."

"As for Bashu, Nanzheng, Zhaosai, Yuedi, Huaibei... it is still a shortage, but you may not let her go. She is not a Mo, and some forced orders to benefit the world cannot control her, so she can't let her go."

Gan De was slightly shocked and thought that in less than thirty years, there were so many literate people on Si Shang? Those who could read can be scholars, but Si Shang was considered to be a scholar?

In addition to being surprised, he smiled and said, "If I could support her, I wouldn't want her to do things. She always read some of your books on Si and is not willing to be at home. As for what she does, I will talk about it after I go."

He calculated that he had studied hard at home. Some things passed down from his ancestors could be given for money or allowed more people to learn. The income should be quite large. Si Shang has always been rich, especially in terms of knowledge and knowledge. It is said that the woman who was very concerned about the anti-destiny theory of "the world" that he paid a lot of money four years ago was rewarded with a lot of money. This was told by his wife that he did not believe in that number at the time.
