The Bookish Scholar of the Red Mansion

I just said that newspaper must have something to do with you two.

Qian Dayou sat behind the two of them holding a stool before he finished speaking. Jiang Yuanbai was already pacing back and forth in the room, muttering something in his mouth, It's too much, it's too much. Brother Tad, Brother Heng, you don't want to take me with you for such a fun thing.

The two generals, one fat and one thin, have not stopped chattering since Chen Heng returned to the house. Xue Biao had to raise his head from his homework and couldn't help but smile: How could I not have thought that you, Brother Heng, have already made arrangements for you.

Really?

Jiang Yuanbai was overjoyed when he heard this. He moved pitifully to Chen Heng's table and asked, Brother Heng, how long are you going to keep your relationship with your brother? Have you forgotten the friendship between the six gentlemen of Jing'an Literary Society?

Six Gentlemen of Jing'an? ? When did I have such a weird title? Chen Heng blinked. At this time, he was busy writing down the question assigned by Jia Yucun, so he could only reply: Don't be anxious, wait until I finish writing this question.

Jiang Yuanbai nodded and looked at Chen Heng's table.

Be careful at the beginning and respect the end, so as not to be sleepy in the end.

This is a title from Zuo Zhuan of the Spring and Autumn Annals. Jiang Yuanbai and Chen Heng both wrote about the Spring and Autumn Annals. They knew that this kind of title would not be difficult for each other, so they calmly read their classmates' writings.

Chun Qiu Zuo Zhuan, Gong Yang Zhuan and Gu Liang Zhuan are also called the Three Chun Qiu Zhuan. The latter two inherit the style of Spring and Autumn in terms of subtle talk and great meaning. When Mei Xue was in the academy, he loved to teach these two books.

Jia Xuezheng is different. He feels that at this stage of childhood, simple and clear reading is more important than understanding, so he often extracts content from Zuo Zhuan as a title.

But no matter who learns to teach, their lessons will not change much. Most of them consist of one question from the Four Books, one question from the Five Classics, plus a policy theory for class A, supplemented by nine chapters of arithmetic, etc.

After not being in the academy for more than ten days, the amount of homework Chen Heng and Xue Biao accumulated is still a bit exaggerated. The two of them were busy for a while, and when they saw that they had just finished a little, they simply stopped writing and planned to drink a glass of water to calm down.

Just when Chen Heng was about to get up and get the teapot, he saw Jiang Yuanbai hand over the tea cup that had already been brewed. He took the teacup with a smile and said to Jiang Yuanbai, It's hard for Brother Jiang to wait.

It's not hard, it's not hard. Jiang Yuanbai chuckled, Brother Heng, tell me quickly.

Chen Heng picked up the teacup and took a sip, motioned for the other party to sit in front of him with Qian Dayou, and told them about the newspaper from beginning to end.

The latter two listened in silence before Jiang Yuanbai spoke in surprise: Brother Heng, according to what you said, Brother Qian and I can't leave the academy or enter the newspaper shop, so what can we do?

Why not? Chen Heng laughed, Have you forgotten the literary club we founded together? The Six Gentlemen of Jing'an.

What do you mean? Before Qian Dayou could react, Jiang Yuanbai understood half of it and asked, Brother Heng wants to move articles from our academy to newspapers?

That's right... Chen Heng nodded and explained patiently to the two of them, ...therefore, there are always thousand-mile horses, but there are not always Bole horses. Therefore, although there are famous horses, they are only humiliated and died in the hands of slaves. The space between stables is not called a thousand miles.

Changli Gong's Horse Theory is a masterpiece of the world and has been a must-read for every scholar since its birth. Qian Dayou and Jiang Yuanbai naturally knew this.

After listening to his classmates' in-depth and simple analysis, Qian Dayou finally understood what Hengdi was thinking. He wanted to publicize the knowledge imparted in the academy to people in Yangzhou who were interested in studying through newspapers.

Qian Dayou couldn't help but asked curiously: In that case, why not just ask the mountain chiefs and masters to write articles?

Chen Heng couldn't help but roll his eyes, who would throw four twos first in a fight with a landlord?

After all, newspapers are closer to the media and what they need is popularity. If we, the little fish and shrimps, don’t act as cannon fodder to attract firepower, how can we attract attention?

It's better to be small and invisible. Jiang Yuanbai smiled and patted Qian Dayou's shoulder, Wait until we can no longer argue, then invite the mountain chief out. Wouldn't it be better and more interesting?

Qian Dayou frowned and thought. After a while, he raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: I understand, we are the pawns of this newspaper.

No, no, no. When Xue Biao heard this, he quickly joined the discussion, You two are the editors we hired. You are responsible for selecting articles fairly. You can only watch from the other side. The people who really want to write articles are from the academy. Scholars.

They're all the same, they're all the same. Jiang Yuanbai chuckled and already started to think of some bad ideas, Then we have to talk to people from other colleges about this. Otherwise, they will think that our newspaper shop only accepts our own people. article.

Just for this reason, Chen Heng couldn't help but nod his head. Newspapers are public products and should not be reduced to the private products of one person or the academy.

The long-lasting solution is to get rid of the sectarian mentality, embrace all rivers, merge and tolerate.

I thought that in the future, there would be many famous teachers and scholars quoting classics and arguments in newspapers, and those scholars who could not enter the academy could buy it for only five cents.

It can be regarded as a good thing I did for them. Chen Heng thought silently in his heart.

As for whether it will cultivate in Yangzhou the culture of the former Donglin Party that talks about one's character.

Chen Heng is not afraid. In the past, those scholars liked to write articles behind closed doors. They often boasted that they were high-minded and few, and their talents were not recognized.

But now it was in front of millions of people in Yangzhou, with so many pairs of eyes staring at him. Whoever speaks makes sense, and whoever is truly underappreciating his talent is fair and reasonable.

The back hall of the academy.

As soon as Xue Baoqin walked into the school this morning, he took Lin Daiyu's hand and whispered to her: Sister Lin, the two brothers returned to the school today.

The position of these two people is now that they are classmates side by side. When Daiyu heard this, she rolled her eyes and said with a half-joking smile: Do these two people know they are coming back? I thought they had wings and flew away.

When Bao Qin heard this, he couldn't help but chuckle, and carefully looked around, then he leaned into the other person's ear and said, Sister, let me tell you a secret.

Daiyu blinked and asked quietly: What is it?

Your brother is Mr. Yuan He who wrote Liao Zhai. Xue Baoqin told Sister Lin everything he knew about the matter a few days ago.

But the more Daiyu heard, the more surprised she became. She didn't expect that brother Xue didn't even tell sister Baoqin such a thing.

As for the Jing'an Daily, when it first spread in Yangzhou, Daiyu knew that it must be something created by her brother, but she didn't know that there was such an inside story.

Daiyu listened silently and sighed in her heart: Two confused brothers don't say a word to anyone when they go out to do things, which makes everyone worry.

When Xue Baoqin finished speaking, Daiyu couldn't help but hold the other person's hand and asked with a smile: Good sister, are you tired of talking? As she spoke, she took her own water glass and said, Come and have a taste, sister this morning Freshly brewed tea.”

Xue Baoqin couldn't help but smile and pointed to the food box he brought this morning, I also prepared cakes for my sister. During lunch break, we will go to Shuyunting.

Shuyun Pavilion is a pavilion located in the back hall. It is built surrounded by rockeries. The scenery is very good when you climb up and look into the distance.

Okay, you two actually want to go and eat alone secretly. Wei Qijun suddenly leaned out from behind the two of them and said in a very excited tone, Shu'er, come on, you can let me catch the fault of these two people.

Auntie, Sister Lin and Sister Xue didn't say they wouldn't take us with them. Let's hear what they have to say. Wei Shu stood beside the two of them, seeming to be blocking the way.

My, my, I finished writing yesterday and my head hurt a little. I wanted to rest on the pillow to relax, but I fell asleep directly. This is yesterday’s second update. There will also be a third update, which is not included in today’s update.
