Volume Three, Chapter 217, Rumor and Fame

The School of Physics by Yuyuan Pond is famous. With Li Chunfang, Chen Lian and Yang Jisheng's Golden Bill High School, students have come to visit him and want to join Yang Cong.

Unfortunately, Yang Cong had already ordered people to speak out. He had limited energy and could no longer recruit more disciples.

So, what should I do?

Find relationships and find ways!

At this time, someone began to inquire about Yang Cong’s specific situation and the specific situation of the School of Physics.

After this inquiry, Yang Cong's reputation became even more prosperous.

In the past, scholars in the Ming Dynasty only talked about the rumors about Yang Cong, such as defeating the Tartars, destroying pirates and Japanese pirates, regaining Annan, punishing corrupt officials, and opening up land and expanding land.

Some people think these are true, while others think they are blowing!

There were millions of scholars in the Ming Dynasty, and only tens of thousands of people who really became officials. In addition to those who were officials and had certain connections in the court, who really knew what Yang Cong did specifically?

Therefore, although Yang Cong was also very famous before, most of them were illusory. At least 80% of scholars in the world did not know him so well. Some admired him, some envied him, some jealous, and even sarcastic.

In short, in the past, Yang Cong's name was just a false reputation. Most scholars in the world believed that Yang Cong had nothing to do with them, and few people really understood him. Most scholars believed that many of his rumors were hyped up!

This time it was different, because all the disciples he taught failed in the imperial examinations, and even the three disciples passed the imperial examinations and the palace examinations, and they were ranked among the top.

This has a big relationship with scholars, because as long as you become Yang Cong’s disciple, you will be ranked first in the list. Moreover, if you are lucky, you may be the top scorer in high school!

A soldier who doesn’t want to be a general is not a good soldier. This is a widely circulated sentence in later generations. At this time, a scholar who gradually began to circulate similar sentences. A scholar who doesn’t want to take Yang Cong as his teacher is not a real scholar.

Because you don’t want to be Yang Cong as your teacher, it means you don’t want to be on the list!

Many scholars rack their brains and try their best to inquire about Yang Cong's specific situation in order to find a way and join Yang Cong's disciple.

After inquiring, they found that the rumors about Yang Cong were actually true!

What is defeating the Tartars, what is destroying pirates and Japanese pirates, what is regaining Annan, what is punishing corrupt officials, and what is opening up and expanding land are all true!

Is this still a human?

This is simply god!

In the past, people did just treat Yang Cong as a topic of talking nonsense when they were bored, but now, talking about Yang Cong’s deeds has become a "must-have subject" for scholars.

Now the way for scholars to say hello has gradually become, "Brother XX, do you know whether Lord Yang Cong or Yang? Do you know how many earth-shaking things he has done?"

If you want to answer, then let’s have a good chat.

If you want to answer, don’t know, then go ahead and read the Hammer Book. I haven’t even heard of Mr. Yang Cong and Yang!

Well, these are all later stories, so I won’t be able to explain it for the time being.

In short, Yang Cong's reputation has really spread throughout the circle of scholars. If he wants to join him, there are not a hundred thousand, and there are hundreds of thousands.

Question, no matter how you inquire or how you rely on your relationship, Yang Cong just won’t accept a disciple, what should he do?

People who are not a little patience or are more frivolous naturally give up, but many people have begun to find another way and start to inquire about the situation in the School of Physics.

This inquiry has come.

It turns out that there are many schools in the School of Physics. In addition to Yang Cong, Tang Shunzhi, Luo Hongxian, Wang Xuan and others, they did not say that they would not recruit disciples.

Although these people are not as famous as Yang Cong, they are close to Yang Cong. As long as they join their disciples, they are also disciples of the Yang Sect. Not to mention whether they can be ranked on the list, they will at least be more respectful.

So many people began to take a different approach, wanting to join Tang Shunzhi, Luo Hongxian, Wang Xuan and others.

Tang Shunzhi, Luo Hongxian, Wang Xuan and others really never said that they would not recruit disciples, especially Wang Xuan. He had a very large demand for disciples because he was responsible for too many things, and the steam engine was very urgent, so naturally the more people the better.

Of course, he will not recruit people randomly, cannot endure hardships, despise craftsmen, and only want to study and not study things. He only wants to be those who can truly study the principles of studying things and seeking knowledge with him.

Well, in fact, they never said that their disciples can no longer participate in the imperial examinations. However, what they teach usually focuses on investigating things, and they basically do not teach the Four Books and Five Classics.

This kind of requirement is indeed a bit weird, and the professor's things are even more bizarre.

However, there are many scholars who are children of craftsmen or who are hopeless in the imperial examination and just want to find a way out. They don’t care whether they are weird or not, as long as they can enter the School of Physics.

Can the Yang family disciples still have no future? Even if they can't pass the exam and cannot get a gold medal, there are other people who are not. Li Chunfang, Shen Lian, and Yang Jisheng are all powerful people in the first and second grades. Can they have no future with their classmates?

As a result, the School of Physics is becoming more and more popular, and the Hardware Academy is even more crowded, and more and more students are coming here.

They gradually discovered that during this period, the School of Physics seemed to be doing something big.

Mr. Wang Xuan often rolled up his sleeves and went to work on the steam engine himself.

Lord Yang Cong and Yang even brought a large group of laborers to work around Yuyuan Pond all day long, digging pits and burying stones, and I don’t know what he wanted to do.

Gradually, there was another circle outside the wall of the School of Physics. This circle was a bit strange, which was a foundation several meters deep, and was covered with stones, about one foot higher than the ground.

What is Lord Yang doing?

If you want to build a wall or a city wall, it would be fine to dig a foundation, why fill it with so many stones? Shouldn’t the foundation be filled with big stones?

After a person who is interested in inquiring, he finally found out that Lord Yang is going to build a "railway".

No one can find out what the railway is. In short, this thing is related to the emperor. It seems that the emperor said something that Lord Yang would work so hard.

No one doubts about this, because the plaques in the School of Physics were written by the emperor, and the relationship between Lord Yang and the emperor is quite unusual.

It is no secret that the relationship between Yang Cong and the Lu family is the son-in-law of the Lu family, and the Lu family moved from Chengtian Mansion. The wife of the old man of the Lu family, Li, is the emperor's wet nurse, and the emperor is very good to his wet nurse.

In other words, Yang Cong is the emperor's "brother-in-law".

Well, this "brother-in-law" is indeed a rumor, but the rumors are full of troubles. Who knows whether it is true or false? In short, Yang Cong's reputation is getting louder and louder.
