Chapter 731 Knowledge is priceless
Hu Zong was overjoyed and hurriedly borrowed paper and pen from the side, wrote down his address, and gave it to Liu Xie respectfully.
Liu Xie took it and put it in his sleeve.
He knew who Hu Zong was and wanted to recruit him, but this was not a suitable occasion. Leave the address and look back and you might get more rewards.
Birds of a feather flock together, and those who can study with Hu Zong must not be mediocre people.
As he was talking, the class that Fu Wan finished, the people in the classroom did not move much, but most of the people in the classroom stood up, some were just moving their bodies, while others shook their heads and sighed, ready to leave.
Judging from their appearance, Liu Xie knew that what Hu Zong said was true.
There are many people who want to take the exam, but they really feel that they have few opportunities. Many people give up before taking the exam.
Liu Xie bowed and said goodbye to Hu Zong and went straight to the back hall.
Hu Zong looked at Liu Xie's back and his eyes changed. He turned around and walked out of the lecture hall gate. When he looked around, he found some unique knights. He suddenly realized, slapped his thighs hard, and turned around and hurried away.
Liu Xie came to the back hall, Fu Wan was drinking water, and several disciples gathered around, some serving and some asking for advice, and there was also a young woman.
Seeing Liu Xie coming, the young woman stood up to avoid it, and Fu Wan also quickly got up to salute.
After the ceremony with Fu Wan, Liu Xie took the seat and asked straight to the point of the exam.
He knew that there were thresholds for admission to Taixue, but he didn't know what these thresholds were. It was still the stage of exploration. Fu Wan used the method of archaeology to decide whether it was his own idea or a general method. He needed to understand.
After hearing this, Fu Wan said frankly: "This is my own solution."
“Why?”
Fu Wan sighed. "Do Your Majesty still remember the situation of Luoyang Taixue? The 30,000 Tai students, less than 10% of them really study hard. The remaining people are busy with socializing and have been studying for several years, and they cannot even understand the most basic texts. Wouldn't such people join me and waste the money of the court and my time?"
Liu Xie nodded. "That's all?"
"Does your Majesty think they want to join me just for the sake of learning?"
Liu Xie blinked his eyes and couldn't help laughing.
Although Fu Wan is honest, he is not stupid.
Although Fu Wan was appointed as the young master, it was inconsistent with his identity as the father of the queen. However, the emperor respected the queen and the possibility of Fu's family continuing his family in the future was extremely high. After joining Fu Wan's sect, his future was obviously brighter than studying under other priests.
"I don't want to be a shortcut for those people to pick up green and drag purple. If you want to join me, you must be sincere in learning. It is better not to be a person who wants to become an official."
Liu Xie felt that Fu Wan was very sober, but the method was inappropriate. "But the young master examined their ancient Chinese, even if someone really wanted to learn, he would not be able to pass the exam without "Shuowen Jiezi", right?"
"This is the responsibility of the old minister." Fu Wan was also a little dissatisfied. "Your Majesty might as well ask Mrs. Tang why a book costs so much for one gold. It's fine, but the quantity is still small. I heard that there were only 300 copies printed in total, and there are nearly a hundred times of them that are not sold at all, but just for giving away people."
Looking at Fu Wan with a stinging face, Liu Xie probably understood the reason.
Private schools flourished in the Han Dynasty, and there were tens of thousands of great scholars, but the few who could truly accept the teachings of great scholars, so there were also great differences among disciples.
The simplest one is a registered disciple. He only has a nominal relationship with teachers and students. He may have never met before, and of course there is no such thing as a knowledge inheritance.
This type of person is just the periphery of his disciples and is not considered to have actually entered the master's sect.
Those who really get started have different levels of learning, such as entry, entry, and entry.
Those who can listen to lectures in the hall are going to the hall, most of whom are Fu Wan’s introductory disciples. These people have a clear knowledge inheritance, which is the so-called teaching method.
Just now, Liu Xie saw that most of the disciples who were listening to the lecture in the hall had "Shuowen Jiezi", and at least one of the two of them used together. In other words, in the hardcover version of "Shuowen Jiezi", printed by Mrs. Tang, at least twenty of them were in the hands of teachers and students of Fu Wan.
Twenty pieces are twenty gold, and even for Fu Wan, it is quite a lot of money.
The high price of books affected Fuwan's teaching, and of course he was unhappy.
But Liu Xie understood why Mrs. Tang did this.
She is definitely not just about making money.
With more and more bookstores, one county and one bookstore will sooner or later be realized. How can the Wenxiu Bookstore she hosted gain a foothold? That is to make a monument and be the best bookstore.
This hardcover version of "Shuowen Jiezi" is to establish a reputation among scholars and let them know that being able to read hardcover versions of works on Wenxiu Books is the best embodiment of academic performance. Having a work published by Wenxiu Bookshop is a symbol of academic taste.
Not only for scholars, this has even become a symbol of whether a county has sufficient academic height. The printing of "Shuowen Jiezi" has become a symbol of the outstanding people of Runan to some extent.
In fact, the fact that "Shuowen Jiezi" can have such a status is not only related to the academic value of the book itself, but also to a large number of Runan women.
For example, Yuan Quan. She was the first person to propose that "Shuowen Jiezi" can be used as an educational textbook, and she personally wrote a simplified version, which played a crucial role in promoting "Shuowen Jiezi".
There are not many books that can enjoy the same treatment as "Shuowen Jiezi", and there is still a "Lunheng" in preparation.
Huangfu Li also wanted to print a book, "The Unity of Qianfu" by Wang Fu, an Anding man, but was rejected by Mrs. Tang. The apparent reason is that academic height is needed for scholars to prove, and there is a regional dispute behind the scenes.
The Kanto people are unwilling to give Kanto people such an opportunity.
If it weren't for Liu Xie's support, "Lunheng" might not have entered the stage of printing the world so quickly. Another book, "Cai Yong's Collection of Works", is ranked in the publication plan of Wenxiu Bookstore.
Fu Wan was so anxious to study and unearth ancient books, but he wanted to justify the name of Langya.
"The paperback version of "Shuowen Jiezi" will be on sale soon, and the price will be much cheaper." Liu Xie said: "But I agree with the idea that a young master would rather be lacking than being overly ill. Nowadays, people's livelihood is difficult, and they can't afford to support too many scholars."
"Old minister understands." Fu Wan said helplessly with a little resentment.
Liu Xie ignored him either. This is his truth. He hopes that more scholars will enter engineering schools, medical schools, agricultural schools, and even business schools instead of studying classics in a swarm.
That was his purpose of rebuilding the Imperial Academy.
If he was like the Luoyang Taixue, who had nothing to do, would know how to call friends and companions every day and praise each other, wouldn’t he cause trouble?
In his opinion, it is enough to study 3,000 people in the study of Confucianism, and the rest study of practical studies such as agriculture, engineering, and business. Only in this way can we embark on the path of healthy development.
"I'm here today. In addition to seeing the reconstruction process of the Imperial Academy, I also want to find a few people." Liu Xie immediately explained his purpose, hoping that Fu Wan would think of a solution for him, and it would be best to recommend a few people.
"Kong Wenju." Fu Wan did not think about it. "He is the most suitable candidate."
"He refused." Liu Xie shrugged. "Is there any more?"
Fu Wan was not surprised at all. Then he thought about it and said, "Is there really one, does Your Majesty know Yuedan Pin?"
"Xu Zijiang? Has he come to Chang'an?"
