Chapter 60 Rejection
The more evil Song and Xia were, the more prosperous Yanzhou became. They really relaxed. As soon as the big merchants in Guanzhong and Jingzhou rushed over, they had strong capital and strong background. The merchants in Yanzhou were in the position of drinking soup. However, closing the trade and turning into private business would only benefit local merchants.
This seems to be a southern city later.
But it was not Yanzhou that benefited. There were too many Qiang people, too many war zones, and too many unexpected factors, so the one who really benefited was Fuzhou. Originally, Fuzhou was promoted to the Grand Governor's Office in the Tang Dynasty, laying a good foundation. In the Song Dynasty, because of the independence of Western Xia, it became an important town for "chasing the throat of the north and the gates of Jing and Hao". But it was not on the real front line. Even in the Battle of Sanchuankou, Li Yuanhao did not dare to lead his army to the depths of Fuzhou, so it was more secure than Yanzhou, so merchants gathered in an endless stream. The military significance was not as important as Yanzhou, but it was even more prosperous than Yanzhou.
Another reason is that it is still a hilly area with many hills of varying heights, but there are many open areas and suitable for farming.
However, the situation in Yunyan County is not very good. The number of households in the entire county is less than 3,000. If it is a large county town, there are only 300 households.
But Wang Ju was very happy.
After all, Yunyan County is backward, which also means that the prices will be relatively cheap. If you really go to Fuzhou, a family of four will open your mouth and want to eat, and you will have to buy everything, which will cost a lot of money in a year.
Besides, there is Quan Ershen. Wang Ju did not mention the issue of treatment, and he didn't even need to mention the issue of treatment. However, it is impossible for him to not pay a penny. He is a young man in his twenties and has to save money to start a family and start a business, and also have relatives.
This problem is easy to deal with. After getting the bonus from the Zhu family, I will use the reward to give it to Quan Erchang. This is also a fee.
Zhu Huan took Wang Ju to the south of the city.
The Zhu family chose the rented house for Wang Ju. There were three brick and tile houses, a kitchen next to it, and a utility room. Not far away was an ancient well and several public houses. There were also some simple furniture in the house, almost all of which were all, and Wang Ju could basically move in with his bag.
Focus on its position.
In ancient times, officials rarely built yamen, and they would not allocate special houses to officials. This was the story of Yao Chong becoming the prime minister but living in the ancient temple. Zhang Zai did not live in the ancient temple, and also rented a house. Just to the north of the Zhu family rented this house for Wang Ju, it was not far away, only about two hundred meters.
After Zhang Zai arrived in Yunyan County, the officials did a good job, were serious in their work, strict in government orders, and promoted morality and education. Moreover, Yunyan County had a small population. If the larger county was not as large as a community, only 10,000 people came. Therefore, every first day of the New Year, the surrounding elderly people were summoned to the county government to have a party, set up wine, food and entertainment, and asked the people's suffering during the meal, so that these elderly people could pass the regulations and notices issued by the county to the villagers.
In fact, the government orders are transparent like this.
Everyone knows what the government wants to do, so the clerks below dare not do anything wrong.
Then he built a county school beside the Kuli River in the south of the city. There were few students, only about forty people. There was no way. Yunyan County was originally a small county, and a student was teaching in it. Zhang Zai occasionally came to explain his doubts for the students.
Wang Ju will also go to this county school in the future.
After all, Zhang Zai Zhengye is the magistrate and needs to deal with government affairs. It is impossible for him to teach Wang Ju every day.
But it is different for one to become a disciple and the other not to become a disciple in the county. It is easy to become a disciple in the county. Wang Ju is talented, and the Zhu family spends a little more money to bribe a few candidates for protection, so they go to the county school. Even Zhang Zai wanted to promote education, but few young people were willing to be students and worked hard. Without the need to recommend, Zhang Zai would agree.
However, what is the use of entering county schools like that? It is better to enter Yanzhou Prefecture School.
If you become a teacher, it will be different. If you don’t understand something after class, Wang Ju will be qualified to come to the door for advice, or even set a name, and Wang Ju can use Zhang Zai’s interpersonal relationships in the Confucian scholars.
However, it is not easy to become a disciple, and it is not easy to accept disciples. Determining the relationship between teachers and students is no less than establishing the relationship between father and son. You must be patiently taught, including studying in a human way. This is what Han Yu said about preaching and teaching. Therefore, decades ago, the famous minister Wang Yuxi was famous all over the world, and many students wanted to take him as his teacher, so he only accepted Ding Wei and Sun He as his disciples.
Although Wang Ju wanted to complain about everything in ancient times, this teacher-student rule still made Wang Ju admire him. Why is the teacher who is a recreated father? The teacher is the real teacher!
It is precisely this strict teacher-student rule that the Zhu family believes that Wang Ju’s appointment this time is very difficult, including Wang Julai Yunyan County, and has not been disclosed in Yanzhou City.
However, Wang Ju successfully became a disciple, so it would be very convenient to walk three hundred steps south to the county school, and walk one hundred steps north to the Zhang Zai home.
Moreover, the rent is very cheap, with only 350 yuan a month. I heard that the owner's surname is Liu, and he opened a residence on the north road of Chengbei. He never went home all year round. He heard that the scholar came to rent a house. The owner was very happy, so he rented the house to Wang Ju at a very low price.
Wang Ju looked around and felt very satisfied.
Simply put your luggage down.
Zhu Qing and Quan Erchang rushed to help, so Wang Ju simply took the pen, ink, paper and inkstone to start writing a self-recommendation letter:
... The boy was poor, his father died early, and his mother remarried. He lived in the countryside, lonely and lonely. Although he was devoted to studying and practicing Taoism, he was unremitting to the text and explored its meaning. However, the Tao was unpredictable and the people were confused. He heard that the teacher was here, and was ecstatic and rushed to Yunyan, and wanted to worship him at his teacher's school, listening to his wonderful voice day and night... The boy Wang Ju cried and bowed to him again and again.
The letter of recommendation is not gorgeous, but it is written very sincerely and has a sad tone, so people are somewhat sympathetic.
Then Wang Ju took out his previous reading experience from his luggage.
Some of the extremes were removed, and only some gentle and valuable things were retained, and they were placed behind the recommendation letter. This is Wang Ju’s confidence!
His foundation in ancient chapters was very poor, but his vision was better than that of many people in this era, including some of their understanding of Confucianism. I believe that Zhang Zai would be interested after seeing these experiences.
As for his poor foundation, after earning his reputation, Zhang Zai found that he had been cheated. Will he drive him out of the sect? At that time, I believe that Zhang Zai has to comfort himself. This kid is "self-taught", and it is inevitable that his foundation is poor.
Wang Ju sealed them up again, and under Zhu Qing's leadership, he found Zhang Zai's home. Zhang Zai worked in the county government office, but he also hired an old gatekeeper. Wang Ju handed them to the old gatekeeper congratulated him and asked him to hand them over to Zhang Zai, and then went home to wait for the news.

"Brother, you are a scholar, why do you practice martial arts?" Quan Erchang asked amid the sound of firecrackers.
There were many people who practiced martial arts in the Song Dynasty, and they had already developed words such as martial arts, martial arts, martial arts, and martial arts, as well as various boxing techniques, such as "stripping straight fist", "making horizontal fist", "making feet cut", "catching legs and holding waist", and "making fist". However, Wang Ju had never heard of the famous Taizu Changquan, which was probably usurped by later generations.
Quan Erchang was practicing boxing, and Wang Ju also took Erniu Sanniu to practice boxing with him.
“Strengthen your body.”
"You are a scholar."
"Scholars also need to strengthen their bodies. The Qingli reforms were mostly targeted at officials. Many gentlemen proposed to eliminate ministers who were old, weak, sick, and greedy, and traitorous. Old people are senior officials. They are too old and have less energy and cannot handle government affairs without energy."
"Mr. Cheng is also old."
"He is an exception. His life is rare in seventy years. In his seventies, how many people are like Cheng Gong?"
"That's true, then what is weakness, illness, darkness, greed, violence, traitor, evil?"
"Weak means weak officials, sick means sick officials who often get sick. If you often get sick, can you still handle government affairs? Dark means dark officials."
"Don't darkness and weakness are very similar?"
"Yes, so the secrets are often read together, but there are still differences. Weak officials may not be bad in their hearts, but they are weak in ability and have good intentions but cannot do things. In secret, they have no intention to do things at all. They just have qualifications and rely on qualifications to be promoted. The same is true for evil, they are very similar, but there are still differences. The traitor is in person, memorizes another one, and acts in secret. Evil is used improper means and acts in the open. It is easy to understand greed and violence. Greed means greed and accepts bribes, and violence means cruelty. Do not treat the people as human beings, and controls people's lives."
In fact, it is necessary to have ability, be ethics, be both moral and talented. It is a good thing to require officials to be both moral and talented. However, the standard of both moral and talented Ouyang Xiu and others is that what supports them is both moral and talented. Even the first-class capable minister Lu Yijian, the first-class good minister Du Yan, are all evil and villains, making them like a joke, and the reform failed quickly. When Lao Fan was demoted to the northwest and passed by Lu Yijian's family, he was speechless. It was not until that moment that Lao Fan realized the difficulty of doing things, so he was silent from then on.
But Wang Ju's intention to practice boxing is really to strengthen his body.
The medical level of this era is speechless. If you are in poor health, you will immediately see King Yama.
However, he frowned: "Three days have passed, why is there no news from Mr. Zhang's family?"
The 28th day of the twelfth lunar month came to Yunyan County. Today is the first day of the Lunar New Year.
"Maybe Mr. Zhang is busy."
Wang Ju shook his head. This is not as small as the population of a township chief or a neighborhood committee director later. What can he do? He took out his five-character Jiaozi from the house: "Second Chief, go to the Zhang family and give this Jiaozi to the concierge of Zhang Gong's family and inquire with him."
"Good come."
After a while, Chief Quan Er came back: "I heard from the doorman that Mr. Zhang saw your visitor and said, "It turned out to be the stubborn boy from the security guard. Then he threw away your visitor without even reading it. Brother, it seems that Zhang Gongxu is famous."
Wang Ju was speechless, but he was very calm. He thought for a while and said, "No, Yunyan County is strictly a subordinate county of Duke Cheng, and there is another relationship. Duke Wen is not bad to Duke Zhang, Duke Wen is also a marriage of Duke Cheng. In addition, Duke Zhang is quite famous in the scholars. When he came to Yunyan County, Duke Cheng must have communicated with him. I am afraid that the letter also said something about me. Think about it, will there be good things about what he said from Duke Cheng?"
Quan Erchang laughed and said, "That's hard to deal with."
