Chapter 178 Chen Ping Wants to Be a Teacher
Looking at the grand master's chair in the hall, Chen Ping was stunned.
He had never seen such a chair.
Seeing Xiao He sitting down, he imitated Xiao He's appearance and sat down cautiously.
Looking at Ying Yu with a smile on his face, Chen Ping couldn't help feeling a little emotional in his heart.
It is said that His Highness the Crown Prince treats others modestly and never puts on airs. Now it seems that the rumors are true.
It seems that my choice is right.
Chen Ping is different from Zhang Liang.
He came from a humble background and his family was very poor.
But he also likes to read, although reading in this era can be superior to others.
But correspondingly, a lot of things have to be paid.
Especially for a poor family like him, it is difficult to persevere.
After all, the price of books is not affordable by ordinary people.
Fortunately, Chen Ping's elder brother is very supportive of him.
He took the initiative to undertake all the farm work so that he could concentrate on studying.
But other people don't see it that way. Neighbors and folks often talk about him behind his back.
As we grow older, more and more people talk about it.
In desperation, Chen Ping chose to leave his hometown for a study tour, hoping to get a chance to show what he had learned in his life.
Coincidentally, some time ago, he heard the news that the prince was recruiting disciples. For Chen Ping, this was a rare opportunity.
So he rushed to Xianyang at the first time.
It's just that he was born in a poor family, and he has very little money.
This road can only be walked on two legs, so it took a lot of time.
Fortunately, he met Xiao He when he was passing through Hanzhong County.
The two got along for a few days, after several conversations, Xiao He knew that this Chen Ping was not easy.
So he was taken directly to Xianyang.
Looking at Chen Ping, who had made extraordinary achievements in history but seemed a little at a loss at the moment, a smile appeared on Ying Yu's face.
"I heard from Xiao He that you want to join me?"
Ying Yu spoke first and broke the silence.
Hearing this, Chen Ping quickly stood up and gave a respectful salute before saying, "Yes."
"Since it was personally recommended by Xiao He, let's stay."
After the words fell, Chen Ping was stunned.
His Royal Highness is too easy to talk to, right?
Just let yourself stay?Shouldn't you do some research first to see what level you are?
I prepared my speech for several days, but you agreed without saying a single word?
"What are you doing in a daze, why don't you thank His Highness the Crown Prince?"
Seeing Chen Ping in a daze, Xiao He reminded him with a smile on his face.
"Many...thank you, Your Highness, for your success!"
Upon hearing this, Ying Yu waved her hand directly:
"Tell me, what are you going to do?"
Chen Ping pondered for a while, and then said:
"Go back to His Royal Highness, I want to go to the Royal Academy to teach more people."
When Chen Ping came to see Ying Yu this time, he had already prepared for the worst.
If not, go back to your hometown and be a teacher.
But what he didn't expect was that His Highness the Crown Prince agreed so easily.
When Ying Yu asked him what he wanted to do, Chen Ping was briefly confused.
Although at the beginning he had threatened to become a marquis and a prime minister, it was only after traveling that Chen Ping discovered that a wish is a wish after all.
After going through the heat and cold of human relationships and bumping into walls everywhere, Chen Ping's spirit is no longer so high.
After much deliberation, he expressed his desire to work in the Royal Academy.
Born in poverty, he knows how difficult it is for children from poor families to study.
He admired and looked forward to Ying Yu's act of running the Royal Academy to recruit children from poor families for free.
"Do you want to be a teacher, that's fine!"
Ying Yu didn't expect Chen Ping to have such an idea.
But he didn't object.
After all, Chen Ping is only in his late twenties. Although he has high potential, he still needs time to hone his skills.
It would be good to let him go to the Royal Academy for a while.
"Since you want to go to the Royal Academy, then you should first follow that old man Kong Fu as an assistant."
"If you have any ideas, you can come to Yuxuan Pavilion to find me at any time."
Chen Ping was stunned again.
Wen Tongjun Kong Funa is a descendant of Kong Sheng, a great sage in the world.
Being able to follow him is the dream of thousands of scholars.
The most important His Royal Highness the Crown Prince also allowed himself to come to him at any time.
If this spreads, I don't know how many people will be envious.
For Chen Ping, this is a step up to the sky.
"Thank you for your appreciation, His Royal Highness, Chen Ping will live up to your expectations."
At this time, Chen Ping's face turned red with excitement.
Xiao He on the side was also very happy when he saw this.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince took Chen Ping under his command without even asking, which undoubtedly recognized his vision.
It can be said to give enough face.
Chen Ping's matter was settled.
Xiao He reported to Ying Yu the recent situation in Hanzhong County before leaving.
In the early morning of the next day, there was a court meeting in the Qilin Hall.
"Father, my son feels that the narrative of my Daqin's report is too complicated and cumbersome. It should be changed into plain Chinese, which will be much more convenient to deal with."
Listening to the bland officials and looking at the complex classical Chinese report in their hands, Ying Yu thought for a while and got up and proposed.
In fact, he had already had this idea.
The Royal Academy has now officially started teaching.
As the founder of the academy, Ying Yu naturally knew what was taught in it.
After listening to several classes, Ying Yu found that except for books such as "San Zi Jing", the students' acceptance of other courses was very poor.
The reason for this is that the expression in classical Chinese is too complicated and cumbersome.
Although the number of words is small, the meaning inside is too much.
Obviously it's just a sentence, and everyone can understand it when you say it bluntly.
It can be replaced by classical Chinese, but it takes a lot of time to understand.
And the most serious thing is that the same sentence may be misunderstood.
This kind of vague concept expression in classical Chinese is very impractical.
After Ying Yu's voice fell, the officials immediately began to discuss.
His Royal Highness, the prince, never rests for a day.
Changing the way of writing memorials is no less than reform.
"Father, my Daqin's present report is because it is not easy to write on the bamboo slips, and in order to record more content with less words, this style of writing has been formed.
But now we have Qin paper and printing.
It can be changed to a more straightforward way. "
Brother Zheng nodded slightly upon hearing this.
No one understands the inconvenience caused by classical Chinese better than him.
After all, he has to approve hundreds of catties of memorials every day.
And you have to read each copy carefully, if you don't pay attention, you will make a mistake, and there will be big problems.
If you switch to vernacular, it can indeed reduce a lot of unnecessary troubles.
But after thinking about it, Brother Zheng didn't immediately agree.
“This idea is a little too far ahead.
You go back and draw up a plan, try it out in the Royal Academy first, and if it works, it’s not too late to change it. "
