Chapter 311: Compilation of a Three-Character Classic
When the two of them entered the provincial school, Mr. Wuyong had already prepared tea in Tingyuxuan, and Qiao Xingjian and Zhang Xiangyang were already sitting there waiting.
Mr. Ding walked forward with a smile and bowed to greet them. Zhao Yulin took Zhao Feiyan's hand and sat down beside them.
Qiao Xingjian looked much better. He laughed and said to Zhao Feiyan that the little princess had become more beautiful. This made everyone laugh. Zhao Feiyan shyly went into Zhao Yulin's arms.
Wuyong said that Caotang Academy was too big and there were too many things to do, and it was feared that they would not be finished until autumn. For now, they could only arrange the students' food and accommodation and ensure that they moved in first. The academic officials and professors would have to run back and forth for the time being.
Mr. Ding nodded and said he was sorry to trouble the gentlemen. He asked Wuyong if he could provide more carriages and horses to ease the inconvenience of traveling.
Wu Yonglian said no, because so many carriages came into the provincial school at once, and outsiders were jealous. Some said that our teacher did not look like a teacher, but more like a dandy young man parading in the city.
Zhao Yulin felt that Caotang Academy was several miles away from the current provincial school. Walking back and forth would definitely take up a lot of time and energy, and the teacher still had to concentrate on teaching the students. How could this be possible?
It is indeed impossible to equip everyone with a carriage, and it would be too wasteful just for the teacher to go back and forth to the academy.
A light bulb went off in his head, and he suddenly remembered that he had taken the bus for a long time , so he could try taking a public horse-drawn carriage in Chengdu.
Zhao Yulin immediately came up with an idea and proposed a plan for a horse-drawn public carriage, which was to build a bus station in Chengdu and start a horse-drawn public transportation service. In addition to providing transportation services for the academy's staff, it would also provide paid services for the common people. This was equivalent to opening a scheduled commuter horse-drawn public carriage on this route.
Doing so can save the purchase quantity of carriages to the greatest extent and improve the utilization rate of carriages.
Zhao Feiyan was immediately surprised by his imagination.
Everyone had a look of admiration on their faces, saying, "Good, very good."
In fact, he had done this before in Xuzhou, but the place was not suitable because of the many mountains and steep slopes.
Chengdu is different. The city's terrain is relatively flat, and horse-drawn carriages are in good condition for commuting. It is entirely possible to use public horse-drawn carriages to solve the travel difficulties of the people.
He asked Feiyan to go back and discuss with Chen Chen, and let the Jinguancheng Service Center set up an independent public carriage bureau to be responsible for the public carriage affairs in the streets and alleys of Chengdu. First, the line between the Fuxue and Caotang Academy would be opened to solve the travel problems of the Fuxue scholars.
Qiao Gong was happy that Zhao Yulin cared so much about academic affairs, but then he became worried and asked how much money it would cost. The country also had to defend against foreign enemies and needed money everywhere.
Zhao Yulin didn't say much, if it was done well it could still be a profitable business.
Most of the students and teachers only use it for commuting, but during other periods, it can be used by the public for paid rides based on the distance of the route. On weekends, it can also be used to carry guests for weddings, funerals, and banquets.
When he said this, everyone's minds were suddenly opened up.
Zhao Yulin felt that as long as it was managed properly, this public carriage, due to its large usage, could also meet the daily travel needs of Chengdu residents and charge appropriate fees, which would accumulate to a considerable sum.
He saw everyone discussing happily, and immediately said " but ."
Zhao Yulin told them: However, it is not just a matter of purchasing a few carriages and horses. We also need to survey the roads along the way to see if they are wide enough, whether there are rivers, how wide the bridges need to be, how many bus stops should be built along the way, how to charge fees, and so on.
Zhao Feiyan said with a smile: Once you have a plan, everything else will be easy.
Not only that, they also have to make an exquisite ID card for the teachers of the prefectural school. As long as the teachers show their ID cards, they can ride in the carriage for free.
Zhao Yulin looked at the talented Zhao Feiyan and raised his hands to applaud.
The gentlemen laughed and applauded Feiyan.
At this time, a young student sent a manuscript to Qiao Xingjian for his comments.
Mr. Qiao introduced with a smile that the young man was called Wang Yinlin, and that he had compiled a "Three Character Classic". After that, he handed it to Zhao Yulin to read.
He took it and opened it: "When man is born, his nature is good. Natures are similar, but habits make them different..." These few sentences at the beginning of the volume were clearly visible on the title page. It was indeed a neatly arranged Three Character Classic.
In later life, he also read "Three Character Classic" and "Rules for Being a Good Pupil and Child", but they were new versions.
Zhao Yulin was very curious. In history, there was really a wise man named Wang who wrote the Three Character Classic. He seemed to be from Lin'an. He looked up and asked the young man, "Are you from Lin'an?"
Wang Yinlin replied in fear, “Yes.”
Haha, he really is the student who followed Qiao Xingjian from Jiangdong to Shu.
However, his "Three Character Classic" loudly criticized the feudal tight-fitting curses such as the Three Bonds and Five Constant Virtues, and there were too many feudal monarchs. This was not conducive to Zhao Yulin's new social proposition of building a republic.
He smiled and praised Wang Yinlin for his good writing, and suggested that he ask Mr. Qiao to review it. He suggested that Wang Yinlin read more of the Chengdu Xunbao and the articles in Cuipingshan newspaper in the past, and integrate the new social concept of the republic into the Three Character Classic, and teach children to be diligent and studious, diligent and love labor, respect the elderly, and love the country and family.
The number of words in the entire article should not be too many, within a thousand words will be enough. If there are too many, he is afraid that the children will not be able to remember it.
Mr. Qiao watched and listened to him, nodding his head constantly. The young student ran to write down the words quickly with Zhao Feiyan's writing brush, fearing that he would miss a single word.
Mr. Ding was delighted, and told Mr. Qiao that after the Three Character Classic was completed, it would be distributed throughout the country by the Education Department as a must-read for teachers to enlighten children.
After returning, Zhao Feiyan pulled Chen Chen to continue discussing with him.
Chen Chen was very surprised at his public carriage idea. This was to ask their service center to establish the country's first public transportation tool, the largest passenger carriage inn in Xin Song.
Zhao Yulin smiled.
There are carriage inns and escort agencies everywhere in New Song. After various places have taken turns to crack down on bandits, the public security situation in various places has greatly improved. General cargo transportation no longer needs to be escorted by escort agencies. The business of escorts and escort agencies has become less busy. Some escorts have begun to change careers and serve in the Shenwei Army.
However, the economy of the entire New Song Dynasty recovered rapidly. With money in people's pockets, demand became strong, and the business of inns across the country showed explosive growth.
Therefore, Chen Chen believed that Zhao Yulin's idea was good and would definitely be a profitable business, because there were many people traveling, and being able to ride in a carriage was of course comfortable and was also a symbol of status.
He asked Chen Chen to plan carefully and then ask Mr. Qiu to tell Lord Ding about it. He also asked him to allocate a special fund to set up a public carriage bureau, go to Yibin to order a carriage of a certain model, send a letter to Kangningzhou to purchase a horse of a certain color, and then dress it up carefully to go to the streets to solicit customers. The business would definitely be booming.
The little woman immediately shouted "Yeah", went up to hug him and started biting him hard.
Zhao Feiyan immediately started to joke, "Hey, hey", but Chen Chen didn't care. He glanced at her and told them to come together and deal with the guy.
I just transformed from a girl into a woman, I was shy, so I immediately got up and went back to the house.
Chen Chen hugged him unscrupulously and demanded it.
When it was daybreak, Chen Chen was still sleeping soundly in his arms. Zhao Yulin carefully pulled out his hand that was held down by the woman and went out to practice martial arts. He saw Zhao Feiyan also practicing sword in the yard.
He asked: Can’t you sleep a little longer?
The weather is fine.
Feiyan said with an understanding expression that her brother was not around, so she should focus on practicing sword skills. The head sister said that a good blacksmith must be strong himself, and the best way to protect herself was to practice kung fu well.
Zhao Yulin went up to her and held her right hand holding the sword to teach her how to practice Tai Chi sword. He told her that the best move is to have no moves. Without a move, others would not know where her next move would be. If the enemy could not find a counter move, her chances of winning would be 10% higher.
The little woman said happily: "No move is better than a move."
Zhao Yulin nodded proudly.
The two were practicing vigorously when Chen Chen stood in the corridor and shouted: It's time to eat.
The couple came to the restaurant after finishing their training. Chen Chen quietly asked Feiyan when her brother had gone to her place and asked Feiyan to compensate her, saying that Yulin had only been with her for half the night, and the other half was taken away by Feiyan, so she was at a big loss.
Zhao Feiyan immediately burst into giggles and ran out before finishing her meal.
On the vast grasslands of Mobei, after breakfast, the Khan of the grasslands asked his guards to bring a Ferghana horse so that he could go out for a stroll.
It was early summer, and the emerald green grass looked like a tender green carpet. Dahan waved the whip lightly, and the BMW under his crotch immediately began to trot rhythmically.
When Yelu Chucai saw him running away, he shouted at him from afar, "Stop, stop quickly."
Although the Mongol Empire was powerful, many people wanted to kill the Khan. From slaves to generals, from maids to concubines and even a prince, a killer would suddenly appear.
When the Khan saw Yelu Chucai catching up, he asked him curiously what happened and whether he was afraid that he would not be able to make it.
The Khan proudly said that he had sex with three women last night, and patted his chest hard, saying that he was great.
Then he started to cough violently, and the guards immediately offered him mare's milk. But the Khan did not want mare's milk, but wine, and he wanted to rinse his mouth with Zhao Qi'er's aged five grains.
Yelu Chucai's heart started beating fast when he saw the Khan throw away the bloody robe he had just used to wipe his mouth. He silently said to himself: God, please bless our Khan to live forever.
When the cold wind from the northwest blew, the Khan on the grassland shivered and turned his horse's head to go back.
He asked Yelu Chucai about the situation of the army that was heading for the Eastern Expedition.
Yelu Chucai told him that the army for the eastern expedition to Goryeo had already assembled and set out. Kouchu Buhua, who was attacking Menggong, was still making arrangements and preparations , and Hubili thought it would be better to wait until autumn.
First, our men need to conserve their energy.
Second, autumn is the harvest season, and our army can just go there to grab food.
Meng Gong was busy collecting grain and fighting against us at the same time, so he was definitely unable to split his attention.
Hubili's move was really vicious. If Meng Gong wanted to deal with him, he would have no time to collect grain. He would have to leave some troops behind to collect grain, and there would definitely not be enough soldiers to fight on the front line.
However, if Meng Gong ran out of food, even if he was not defeated, he would not be able to stand in Jiangbei and would have to withdraw his troops to the south of the Yangtze River.
So, Hubili made a beautiful plan.
