Therefore, on the day of the first batch of students from the beijing huatang school graduated, the sun did not wait for the sun to rise, and the lin family's carriage arrived at the entrance of the stone field and quietly took the yao family and his son away.

Nothing is more important to parents than a child's future. Especially the farmers, face the loess back to the sky for a lifetime, beads of sweat fell to the ground eight, this hard work is simply unspeakable. As long as it was possible, who didn' t expect their son to stand out and not even have to be rich and powerful? As long as he wasn' t covered in calluses from hoes, he wouldn' t be exposed to the sun.

Now, more than a hundred children, in the beijing huatang school for a year, finally came to the day of success, can finally support the family, help start a family livelihood.

What an exciting day it was. Not to mention the parents, even the aunts and aunts could not help but come and join in the fun.

Some of the students who were planning to enter the exam in a few days were brought here by their parents to see what was going on.

Outside the jinghua hall, there was already a sea of people without waiting for the door to open.

Lin dashan stood at the door and explained a few words to hu tianming. Since there were many people today, it was likely that it would hinder the children's exams if they were to enter the school. Therefore, only the children and two families were allowed to enter the school. The rest were to be stopped outside the door.

Hu tianming nodded and glanced at the unfamiliar Mr. Yao and his son in the room. He kept their appearance in mind and hurried down to make arrangements.

Old Mr. Yao and his son were reading the test questions prepared by lin dashan, their faces full of curiosity and doubt.

Yao changming couldn' t hold it in any longer. Seeing lin dashan standing aside respectfully, he gestured for him to sit down and asked," dashan, what are the professors in your school? Why do you have to take these exams? "

He just took today's text question, draw up a farmer to buy ten acres of farmland, deed tax how much, land price geometry, asked students to write a complete contract. Not only that, the other topic is to ask students to draw up a travel identity, to parents at home to write a letter of peace. There was even a question about two neighbors suing over trivial matters and students writing paper for one of them.

As for the math test, lin dashan simply went to the front page of his family's account book and took out 50 books, intending to send them directly to the students to check.

In the eyes of the lin family and the farmers, these skills were extremely practical. But in yao changming's eyes, it was simply a mistake. Reading and calligraphy, is for the sake of reason, for the imperial examination official, for the country for the people.

He couldn' t stand the sight of the lin family, so his expression didn' t look good.

Lin dashan thought of those gentlemen and classmates in the city. When he first knew that jinghua hall was teaching these miscellaneous schools, he had also mocked and ridiculed them. Fortunately, the students worked hard and studied frugally, which allowed them to see the benefits of miscellaneous studies, which was slowly rare to talk about.

Now, such a great scholar like Mr. Yao was actually the same. No wonder Jiao Jiao always said that the greater the people's wisdom, is a heavy and long way to go.

He was so emotional in his heart, but his face was unwilling to show any sign of it. He lowered his head and explained carefully," sir, there aren' t many fields in beimao county. It's late in the spring and early in the autumn. Every household has been farming for a year. If there were 70 % of the harvest, it would be very good. If you catch up with the grain harvest, the family will be hungry for more than half a year. In this case, the children are lucky to be able to grow up safely. As for reading and writing, a hundred children might not have the chance to send one to private school. It is read private school, can test all the way to the child, the scholar even raises a person, is even rare.

My old father saw children from all over the country, go to the market to sell eggs do not understand that a few words of money, it was intended to build the school. Children are not expected to read the book of sages, study the scriptures, just want them to be able to write and calculate, later can write letters for their families, involving contracts not to be deceived, or encounter injustice, the court can explain the reason. If the family supports a small business, can calculate the money in and out. That's all, nothing more.

In this way, children may not become the pillars of the greater, the imperial examinations for the official, but at least can write and calculate, the sensible things know etiquette, is enough to support the family.

As for some children, if they really have talent, we will continue to open classes in the family, students continue to teach, and try to take exams. "

Old master yao and yao changming's faces turned from slightly annoyed to ashamed. They wanted to say something, but they didn' t know how to say it.

Sometimes, people make such mistakes easily. He thought that he could stand on the high ground and criticize everything, but he suddenly realized that they were too taken for granted and would only exaggerate and forget to put themselves in the position to understand the actual situation.

The lin family's school was like this. They were from yonglong, capital of the capital city. Almost all the children from every household were studying and preparing for the imperial examinations. This allowed them to solidify their minds and take it for granted that all the children in the world had to study for the purposes of the imperial examinations. However, she had forgotten that not everyone could live without worrying about food and clothing.

The lin family was able to think of this level and provide more than a hundred children with a year of learning to write and write, which was to add more strength to their livelihoods. Pragmatic, unselfish, and see the world through, really rare.

"Sigh," old master yao let out a long sigh, stood up and bowed to lin dashan." Dashan, we misunderstood you just now. Your lin family, it's very respectable! "

Yao changming also bowed and said," we really take it too seriously. "

"Oh, sir, I can't. "

Lin dashan hurriedly helped the two of them up and tried to comfort them. In the future, if you don' t mind, please come to our school more often. If there is something wrong with the students, I hope you' re not stingy with your advice. "

Old Mr. Yao nodded and replied," even if you don' t tell me, I will come here often in the future. The sage has a saying, three people walk, there must be my teacher. If I do not come today, I am afraid that I will not understand it until I close my eyes for a day. "

"Sir, that's too much. "

If he knew what was wrong, he would change and be taught modestly. Mr. Yao and his son were like this, which made lin dashan admire them. The discomfort in his heart just now dissipated.

At this time, Jiao Jiao suddenly asked from outside the door," fourth uncle, it's time to start the exam. "

"Well, I'll be right there. "

Lin dashan bowed to the two gentlemen again, then carried the test questions and the books out.

In this way, the two books" the rules of the younger brother" and" the three character classic" were exposed on the desk. Old master yao picked them up and read them. The guilt in his eyes deepened. He raised the book and said to his son," my family has undergone great changes. I once reflected on myself when I couldn' t sleep at night. I didn' t feel that there was anything wrong with our yao family, so I also complained about heaven and earth. But today this small school has sounded the alarm bell for us, perhaps we usually think that the empty valley, or actually added five points of pride. This arrogance blinds our eyes, and many things may not be as we think.

Sitting in the clouds, how could she understand the suffering of all living beings? It might be a good thing for the yao family to fall into the clouds and melt into the world. "
