The Zeng brothers' affairs were just a small episode. For the Ouyang family, Ouyang Xiu's mission was the first priority, while Ouyang Fa's admission to the Imperial Academy was the second priority.

Ouyang Fa is over fifteen years old and has begun to prepare for the imperial examination. It is not a big deal to always hang out in the Xue private school.

Ouyang Xiu found the Imperial College and gave a speech, Hu Yuan, who was in charge of the Imperial College, and asked his eldest son to be sent in.

Hu Yuan attaches great importance to this, and there are some reasons for this.

Hu Yuan's destiny throughout his life is closely linked to Fan Zhongyan.

In the first year of Jingyou, 42-year-old Hu Yuan began to teach Confucian classics and techniques in Suzhou.

At that time, Fan Zhongyan, who had always attached importance to culture and education in the court, was demoted to the governor of the place because of opposition to the abolition of the emperor.

The following year, after Fan opened a county school in Nanyuan, he hired him as his first teacher and sent his son Fan Chunyou to become his teacher.

After taking office, he formulated a set of strict school rules.

Since Mr. Fan was able to take the lead in abide by it, none of other students from wealthy families dared to trample on them.

With the strong support of the magistrate, the county school quickly became a model for all the institutions in the city.

In the third year of Jingyou, with Fan Zhongyan's introduction, Hu Yuan went to Kaifeng with the musician Ruan Yi, a musician in Hangzhou, who was eager to improve the music, and was ordered to participate in the sound and make bells and chimes.

During this period, his elegant manners that conform to ancient rituals were highly praised by the people in the court, and after the matter was completed, he was promoted to a proofreader.

In the first year of Kangding, he went to Shaanxi with Fan Zhongyan, who was guarding Yanzhou, and was recommended as a military officer in Danzhou.

This time, I wrote the book "Rules of Martial Arts" to promote the country to promote martial arts to resist external aggression.

In the fourth year of Qingli, Fan Zhongyan implemented the new policy, wrote Hu Yuan's teaching method and promulgated the "Academic Government Treaty" nationwide, and followed Huzhou's school experience to establish a Central Imperial College.

It can be said that because of Fan Zhongyan and Hu Yuan were able to reach his current status step by step.

The relationship between Ouyang Xiu and Fan Zhongyan is well known throughout the world. Although there is no formal name for teachers and students, Fan Zhongyan and Ouyang Xiu are indeed somewhat like teachers and students.

Thanks to Fan Zhongyan's kindness, Hu Yuan attached great importance to Ouyang Xiu's request and even went to Ouyang's home in person.

Since Hu Yuan has come, it is not just about taking Ouyang Fa. Taking Ouyang Fa is not his purpose, because no matter how profound Ouyang Fa is, he always has to be allowed to enter the school. He came because he had to give Ouyang Xiu's other three sons a good guide. If there is no accident, these three will also be admitted to the Imperial Academy in the future.

Hu Yuan first compared Ouyang Yi and Ouyang Fen, and was quite satisfied after the exam. Although the sons of the Ouyang family may not be very smart, their foundation is extremely solid.

Especially Ouyang Fu was particularly surprised by him. Ouyang Fu not only had solid knowledge, but the key was that he had a very quick talent.

In the end, I took Ouyang Bian to take the exam.

But Hu Yuan did not ask some solid foundation. He looked at Ouyang Bian and smiled: "The little monk will not get the exam. The masters who can write "The Wealth of the Kingdom" should be a little superficial. I also believe Jie Fu's teachings. However, Uncle Yong, I have a suggestion to let the little monk go to Taixue to communicate with Tai students. Although Jie Fu's knowledge is good, communication is also very important."

Ouyang Xiu hesitated a little: "Will the monk be younger?"

Hu Yuan smiled and said, "If you have ambitions, you should not be old. The knowledge of the young monk should be mainly based on increasing your knowledge."

Ouyang Xiu nodded and smiled, "Then I'll discuss it with Jie Fu. If he has no objection, I'll send him to your place to beat him."

Hu Yuan laughed and said, "I am a place to study, not to mention it seems like a slaughterhouse."

Ouyang Bian became frownful.

It was a bit miserable that I finally got rid of Xue’s private school and had to go to the Imperial Academy.

Under Wang Anshi, at least when Wang Anshi was working, he could study by himself, but the school was not so free. As for the school, there were still various rules and regulations, but he was not very free after all.

Ouyang Xiu didn't care much about other things. Whether he wanted to do business or he liked to eat, drink and have fun, but in terms of education, Ouyang Xiu couldn't help but Ouyang Bian.

Ouyang Bian knew this matter well, and he knew that even if he opposed it, it would be useless.

Not to mention the excuses like "I can't get rid of my body at a critical moment in business operations" to refuse. It is estimated that Ouyang Xiu will directly ask him to sell the property, and then say something like "the money you earn is enough to eat and drink for the rest of your life, and you don't have to be obsessed with it anymore], which is useless!

There should be no suspense about entering the Taixue School. Wang Anshi often suffers from not having enough time and being unable to restrain him. If he can send him to the Taixue School, Wang Anshi should be praised by his master.

Well, going to Tai School should be more interesting than going to a private school. After all, it is a university campus, and it is always much more interesting than a private school.

As expected, Wang Anshi was quite happy and summoned Ouyang Bian to give him a letter of duty.

"...It is a good thing to go to Taixue. Mr. Anding's [Mingti-Ti-Opinion] is indeed deeply rooted in the essence of world-wide economic use. You can still learn a lot. What you have learned is very complicated, and it is probably more sophisticated than many gentlemen. But if you can polish other stones on other mountains, don't be complacent, especially if you don't need to be self-respecting to others..."

"Teacher, what do you mean by [Mingti Dayi]?" This was the first time Ouyang Bian heard this statement.

"Oh, the so-called [understanding the body and understanding the purpose] is the practical learning advocated by Mr. Anding, which emphasizes the meaning of the classics and current affairs.

This teaching method is a new teaching method pioneered by Mr. Anding when he was running schools in Suzhou and Huzhou. This teaching method is called Suhu Teaching Method, also known as the "Dividing Zhai Teaching Method".

This teaching method is a popular way to correct the current academic style that attaches importance to poetry, essays, songs, and songs, and advocates practical learning that is practical and practical, focusing on the meaning of the classics and current affairs, and advocates "understanding the body and understanding the use".

Mr. Anding’s specific approach is to set up “Classic Meaning” and “Governing Affairs” in the school. Jing Yizhai studied and studied the basic theories of the classics, which belongs to the “clear style” study;

In the ruling school, we mainly study practical knowledge such as farmland, water conservancy, military, astronomy, calendar and other knowledge, which belongs to the "experimental" study.

In the Zhishizhai, each person is responsible for one thing and also takes care of one thing. He established a compulsory and elective system for subject teaching and subjects. It is indeed a very practical teaching method to use the world."

Wang Anshi explained to Ouyang Bian endlessly.

Ouyang Bian was a little eye-opener. Isn’t this the division of liberal arts and sciences in later generations? I didn’t expect that this thing would be available in the Northern Song Dynasty?

Things seem to be getting interesting.

Tsk tsk.

He dared not say how powerful he is in literature. After all, he can copy it, but if he really wants to find the truth and explore the chapters and sentences, he is really not as good as those of the people of this era, but in science, hehe.

It seems that this is the rhythm of forcing myself to be a top student.
Chapter completed!
