Chapter 32 (1/2)
When he woke up, Fang Yun felt his face itchy. When he opened his eyes, the slave who should have been in the bamboo basket lay in his ear and took the newly bought soft pillow as a bed.
Nu Nu covered herself with her tail as a quilt and lay on her side in a very elegant posture.
Fang Yun smiled, touched Nu's small head, got up and washed.
Fang Yun took the warrant of master Zhou's book to Wenhui hall and the printing workshop. Fifty thousand books occupied a large area. Fang Yun didn't take them out. He was going to wait until the first day of April to take them and sell them to people who came to buy Shengdao or Wen Bao.
Fang Yun refined the sales plan, and everyone began to make intensive preparations. We must make Sanwei Bookstore famous.
When Fang Yun came out of the bookstore, he asked Fang Daniu to go home. He drove and bought all the anthologies of the three semi holy examiners this year. A total of 16 liang of silver was spent, which was equivalent to his income in the previous three years.
He also stopped by the literary academy and bought a bound edition of Wen Bao and Sheng Dao within ten years, which cost a full sixty-two.
Fang Yun calculated that it would cost nearly 4000 taels of silver just to buy all the Shengdao and Wen Bao. If he bought one book of all the books in Jingguo school palace, it would cost 100000 taels of silver according to 100 texts and one million copies.
”The road is long.”
Fang Yun drove the carriage to a quiet place, collected the newly bought books into the wonderful book world, and then went home.
That day, Fang Yun discussed with the eldest lady of the Fang family and asked him to teach. However, those children have already learned the thousand character script and the hundred family names. It will be three months later in the autumn to learn the holy classics and how to test children. During this period, there is no need to teach too much. There is only one class a day, which is very leisure.
Although Fang Yun thanked the eldest lady for her arrangement, he didn't want to receive twenty liang of silver a month. He decided to teach something else, so he began to compile the Three Character Classic.
The Three Character Classic includes many aspects such as education, history, astronomy, geography, morality and so on. It is easy to remember and read, simple and easy to understand. It is a Mongolian reading material with the same name as QianZiWen and Baijiaxing, and has an irreplaceable position in ancient times.
The original three character classic contains a lot of contents, including some ideas, characters or history that are not suitable for Shengyuan, which should be eliminated, and the unique history of Shengyuan should be added at the same time.
According to the history of Shengyuan continent, Fang Yun has rewritten the Three Character Classic with about 1500 words to be used as the teaching content for tomorrow. If he responds well, he will continue to teach, and then print the book as soon as possible, spread the title and earn silver.
The wider the spread of poetry and the larger the name, the brighter the stars in the literary palace, and the faster Fang Yun's talent grows.
The next morning, Fang Yun went to Fang's house, met the eldest lady, and then went to Fang clan school under the leadership of the eldest lady. The eldest lady personally introduced clan school to Fang Yun.
Fang clan school is located on the edge of Fucheng, covering a very wide area, and its scale is not inferior to that of small academies.
The identity of the students here is very complex. There are Fang's family, relatives of Fang's family, the son of Fang's servant, and the descendants of some comrades in arms who once lived and died with Fang Shouye. All the sons of martyrs are adopted by Fang Shouye as adoptive sons.
Ethnology is free, and free lunch is provided.
Fang Yun estimated the cost and said that it would cost at least 1000 liang of silver a month. He respected each other's industry more. This is benevolence and righteousness.
There are a total of 400 students in this ethnic school, which is divided into three parts: elementary school, junior school and children's class.
There are more than 20 teachers of Fang clan studies. The eldest lady introduced all the teachers to Fang Yun.
Among these teachers, there are only four scholars, and the rest are children. Most of them are very enthusiastic about Fang Yun's poetry. Only a few are neither hot nor cold, and are indifferent to the eldest lady.
One of them had the strongest tone. He was a young scholar and said he was a ”double-B boy in Fucheng”. He was quite complacent.
Fang Yun is too lazy to pay attention to such people.
The number of examinees for children in Fucheng is 20 times that in Ji county every year, but the number of students admitted is only 10 times that in Ji county. Therefore, although some children of rich business officials go to school in Fucheng, their school status falls in other counties.
The competition among people in Fucheng is far more fierce than that in other counties, so most of them despise those small counties. Even if Fang Yun is a double-A boy, this scholar doesn't think he is much weaker.
However, if you meet students in the capital, people from all States will unite again, because the admission proportion of the capital ranks first among the four states and one capital. It is clearly a city, but the share of children is more than that of one state.
When introducing the scholar, the eldest lady specially said, ”this is your second aunt's nephew.”
Fang Yun immediately understood what was going on.
After seeing off the eldest lady, Fang Yun returned to the teaching room, sat at his desk, put the things he brought on the table and sorted out the contents of the lecture again.
Not long after, the long mirror hall, the old courtyard in charge of ethnology, came to the teaching room.
All the teachers stood up at once.
Fang Jingtang said with a smile, ”all sit, no outsiders. Fang Yun, you will teach class a of elementary school every day. How about teaching the second lesson from 8:15 to 9:15?”
Many people looked at Fang Yun with envy. There are five classes in elementary school. Class A has always been the best. The proportion of children in class A is far greater than that in other classes. In the future, these students will be promising. When they become teachers, they will have qualifications, either teach in the Academy of Arts, or expand their contacts.
Fang Yun immediately said, ”everything is decided by the Dean, and the younger generation will listen.”
Fang Jingtang nodded with satisfaction, but Lu Yingnian, a scholar on one side, said: ”Dean, he is just this year's child student. Although he is a double a, we can't compare, but he has no experience after all. Is it wrong for him to teach class a? I have been a scholar for five years and have been teaching here for three years. I'm not tired to teach the child student class. It's better for me to teach class A.”
”Ying Nian, are you questioning my arrangement?” Fang Jingtang asked with a smile.
Lu Yingnian's face changed slightly and hurriedly said, ”no, no, no, Yingnian is not questioning his uncle's arrangement, but Fang Yun's ability.”
Fang Jingtang asked with a smile, ”Ying Nian, how old are you to be admitted as a child student?”
