My life skills in Daming Liver

In the early morning of the next day, Lin Xianyang got up in a hurry, but Su Ze got up earlier than him, and had already returned from a morning exercise with a few mustaches in his hand.

Su Ze was tortured terribly by lice yesterday, and slept until early morning in a daze, when he heard the sound of clappers outside the door.

The people in Nanping County got up earlier than Su Ze imagined. When it was still daylight, the early stalls had already opened.

Su Ze didn't expect the county town to be so beautiful, it was as lively as his hometown county town in the previous life in the morning.

The people who came and went were all men in bunts. Seeing that they were all dirty, Su Ze rushed out of the city after having breakfast in a hurry.

Su Ze found a hu bing stall, bought a few hu bing and went back to the room where he was staying. Lin Xianyang took the hu bing in embarrassment, and it was much more delicious than the cold vegetable porridge at home!

Su Ze asked, "Brother Ayang, why are there so many early risers in Nanping County?"

Lin Xianyang said with a smile: "Those are miners, they got up early to go to the mine."

miner? How is this different from the life in the county that Su Ze imagined.

Lin Xianyang said: "The Zhouduo Mine in Nanping County has official mines belonging to the government and private mines belonging to the local wealthy. There are copper mines and iron mines. They are mined day and night."

Only then did Su Ze remember that Yanping Mansion is the mining base of the entire southeast region.

It's just that he didn't expect that the mining industry in the Ming Dynasty was so developed.

After eating the pancakes, the two adults left the little radish heads to the relatives to take care of, and Lin Xianyang hurried out with the money.

Su Ze's qualification as a child student needs to be submitted to the county government's ceremony room. Lin Xianyang decided to go to the county school with Su Ze to find the lin student to sign as a guarantee, and then go to the county government office together.

The county school is next to the Town God's Temple. When Su Ze and Lin Xianyang arrived, there was a long line of carriages parked in front of the back door of the City God.

Su Ze realized that this was the convoy of the Xin Zhifu's family that he saw outside the city yesterday.

Only the door of the back compartment was opened, and several healthy women held up the curtains, and pulled up two rows of temporary screens in front of the carriage, blocking the way from the door to the carriage.

Su Ze hurriedly grabbed Lin Xianyang and said, "Slow down, the female family members of the magistrate's family are boarding the car, we will go there later."

Sure enough, Su Ze saw the figure of a young woman reflected on the curtain. Now the Ming Dynasty is the era of strict etiquette, and the daughters of officials and eunuchs are not allowed to show their faces casually before they leave the cabinet.

But while the etiquette is strict, all kinds of stories about elopement and adultery are widely circulated.

The Jiangnan region, where the literary style was the most prosperous, also had the most emancipated minds. There had already been girls' schools for gentry girls to study, and some literati and bureaucrats had even put forward the slogan of freedom of marriage.

The middle period of the Ming Dynasty was such an era of contradictions. Confucianism and freedom, openness and conservatism all collided in this era. Countless thoughts collided and inspired various trends of thought.

It's a pity that these trends of thought were finally snuffed out by the last unified dynasty. By the time the next awakening era comes, the Chinese nation has already suffered too much.

Su Ze recovered from his thoughts, just as the wind rolled up the curtain, revealing a pretty and cold face.

Lin Xianyang next to him hurriedly lowered his head, but Su Ze, who had watched countless audio and videos of a certain thing in later generations, habitually stared at it.

The healthy woman quickly straightened the curtain again, and the girl felt her gaze, and she also looked at Su Ze, before being blocked by the curtain.

A poem appeared in Su Ze's mind: "There are beauties in the south, who are peerless and independent."

In the blink of an eye, the convoy of Zhifu's family started slowly, and the beautiful figure disappeared without a trace.

After finally waiting for the convoy from the magistrate's family, the two came to the county school.

As the most basic academic and educational institution in the Ming Dynasty, County School occupies a rather large building.

The first thing Su Ze saw was the tall Lingxing gate directly in front of the county school. According to ancient legends, Lingxing is the astronomical star in the sky. This gate represents Confucius, indicating that behind the gate is a place where cultural contexts gather.

This gate can only be erected in front of Confucian temples and schools. The gate of Nanping County School is made of stone, quite tall and majestic.

After passing the Lingxing Gate, there is another Halberd Gate. When the ancient emperors went out, they inserted a halberd at the Zhisu as the gate. Since the Tang Dynasty, halberds have been erected in front of the official office, and the number of halberds has also been from high to low according to the official position.

However, in the Ming Dynasty, the halberd gate became a style of building gates, and all government offices set up halberd gates to warn unrelated people not to enter casually.

The Jianli Hall in the middle is the main hall of the county school. This is the main hall for holding major events and enshrining the statue of Confucius.

The two rows of veranda-roofed houses on the left and right are the places where the county school is used to give lectures. On the left is the "Minglun Hall" for lectures. The main hall is dedicated to Mr. Yang Shi, Luo Congyan, Li Tong, and Zhu Xisi. , there are small buildings such as canteens and warehouses behind.

Lin Xianyang hurriedly led Su Ze to the dormitory on the right, but Su Ze seemed a bit bleak in this huge county school?

The sun has risen, but there is no sound of reading in the county school, and even few people can be seen.

Although the county school is clean and tidy, and the buildings have been well repaired, Su Ze still has some doubts about the lack of popularity.

Nanping County is the hometown of Zhu Xi, with a long history of culture. In Fujian, where the volume is extremely high, the number of Jinshi every year is also in the forefront of Fujian Province.

And Fujian is the holy land of the famous imperial examination papers. There are two capitals and thirteen provinces. Except for the two capitals of Zhili in the north and the south, among the thirteen provinces, Fujian has the most candidates for Jinshi.

It stands to reason that the county schools in Nanping County shouldn't look like this?

The school buildings are all marked with number plates according to the heavenly stems and earthly branches. Su Ze soon knew what the old man said about the acquaintance of the old students.

Lin students are also scholars who have passed the boy's test, also called students, and there is a broader name-xiucai.

But this scholar surnamed Zhou is already an old scholar.

He looks about forty or fifty years old, his hair is already gray and a little bald, and the hair on both sides covers the middle of his hair, which looks even more ridiculous.

He was wearing a shabby Confucian uniform, thin and short like an old farmer in the field.

Su Ze didn't expect that a dignified scholar would look like this?

"Zhou Xiucai, this is the clan brother my father told you about, brother Aze, this is Zhou Xiucai."

Su Ze paid respects to Zhou Xiucai. Seeing Su Ze's standard movements, Zhou Xiucai smiled and said:

"Changningwei finally has a scholar, and I am also happy for the ordinary households."

After speaking, he read the guarantee book, finally signed his name on the guarantee book, and took out a seal from his pocket to stamp it on, and then handed it to Su Ze.

After getting the bond he needed, Su Ze asked:

"Zhou Xiucai, why is this county school so deserted?"

Zhou Xiucai seemed to be in pain when asked about it. After a while, he said in a low voice:

"He's not a new Haijiao. Originally, Nanping County School didn't have many people to study. He still has to do some clear exams. Those who fail the exam will be reduced to Zengguang students, and Zengguang students who fail the exam will be reduced to affiliated students." , Students who fail the exam will be disqualified as student members, and if this happens, the county school will run out!"

"I only have pity on a poor scholar like me, living on two taels of lu silver, so I stay in the county school and dare not leave, hey hey hey!"
