During the Ming Hongwu year, it was stipulated that every 50 schools should be established in order to study, so that the children of the good family should study, the social school was official, the teaching materials were free, the teachers were elected by the county order, and the expenditure was public.The only thing the students have to pay is the first time they worship the teacher.This system reached its peak during the reign of Ren Xuan, but since the beginning of the Jiajing Dynasty, the decline of private schools, and now the Daming Social Science Exhibition is far more private than public, and students also need to pay for real money and silver.

Da Fanzhuang's social studies are the private schools, and most of the social studies of Daming, are built by the social school.Due to limited financial resources, it is impossible to afford to sit in the famous museum, and only the children who have passed the county test and the provincial test have never been able to pass the test as a teacher, and a total of six students in the big and small Fanzhuang have studied here.Of course, teachers are like this, the disciples do not know, but also the flat-headed people who have not been green, and at most they have only passed the county test.

All six people are unsurprisingly named Fan, of which only Fan Jin from Xiao Fanzhuang is one.As an alien, the white eyes and exclusions on weekdays, and no matter what you know, it is good that no matter before and after the crossing, you have not put such a thing in your heart.Before crossing, Fan Jin's eyes only have four books, after crossing, only real gold and silver, how the same brother, he does not care.

Although not engaged in labor, but according to the scientific methods of future generations to exercise, coupled with martial arts exercises, the current Fanjin body is far better than ordinary farmers, in the social science is the most powerful.After several students ate him and beat him, they lived together in harmony with each other, brothers and sisters.

Because the road is not good, Fan into the school time, has been late, according to the regulations should be subject to the ruler, but he is not to recruit the teacher to see, the number of times to be scolded, has been improper.He despised this child teacher, such as looking down on his future self in the world of Confucianism.

A 50-year-old child, peace of mind to teach private school is no longer in the field, life will have no future.In terms of education, this rural society is also meaningless, and the teacher's own literary ink can only be second-rate, and unlike those books that Xiangmen first master the essence of the four books and five scriptures, and he can't learn anything with him.The biggest role is to bet on the topic during the county test.

Da Fanzhuang's social studies have been established for six or seven years, although there is not even one who has passed the government test, and two of the people who start reading have passed the county test.It can be seen that this teacher is still a little on the county test question.This is also the reason why he can sit in the hall of Da Fanzhuang, otherwise the cost of anointing fire is not so good to earn.

Just entered the village, someone in the field by the road looked at him, and then someone shouted "Uncle Jiu!“Uncle is here!”

With the sound of words, a middle-aged man with bare feet pulled his legs out of the field and ran laboriously to Fan.People only wear short shirts, the legs of the trousers under the legs are lifted to the knees, the calf and bare feet are full of mud, the face is black and red, with a harmless face of a human and animal, looking at the appearance of that kind of typical simple and thick crop.

Fan Jin's age is much smaller than that, but the generations in the clan are not counted by age.It is also common to call the three-year-old child as an uncle, and Fan Jin happens to be very high in the Fan family, so the name of the big man is also frankly accepted.

He took two steps back and did not let the mud on the other side touch his clothes, "It is Zhigao, you find me something?"Can’t wait for me to learn?”

“Uncle, it’s not your nephew looking for you, it’s the patriarch looking for you.”Originally, the patriarch was playing the little nephew and ran to Xiaofanzhuang to ask Uncle Jiu, but the little nephew thought that the uncle always came to social school, and also saved the small nephew's strength.You see, this year's age is ugly, and the land is really inseparable from people."

Fan Jin knew that in front of this farmer named Fan Zhigao, is a well-known wise man in Da Fanzhuang, but there are no pit people in his thick appearance, who if he believes that he is honest, and finally must be unlucky.Although the other side was full of smiles, but Fan Jin's vigilance did not relax, he nodded: "What happened, the patriarch to find me?"Is it in a hurry, can’t wait to learn?”

"The patriarch, he asked the old man to discuss what, the little nephew, how dare he ask?"However, the social school uncle does not have to rush to go, this plague rain, social school has collapsed, afraid that time is difficult to return to school, you just can rest and rest, let the sages roll around.Where did the sages have been great patriarchs?His old man is waiting on the other side of the shrine, you still hurry to pass, don't let the old man wait too long."

Daming is now a typical dualistic society, in the city, the gate has absolute authority, to the countryside, it is the clan master.The patriarch's prestige in his own clan, even his parents and officials, especially in the shrine, more than the emperor, heard the call of the shrine, Fan Jin felt that things would not be too simple.

Fan Changwang, the patriarch of Da Fanzhuang, was a person from Fan into his father's generation, and in terms of speaking, Fan Jin wanted to call his uncle, and his relationship with each other was not about being intimate.The long room and his house, the big village and the small village, because of the contradiction caused by the distribution of benefits, led to the separation of each other.Hearing the summons of the patriarch, Fan Jin couldn't help but think of the reminder of Hu's sister, did Da Fanzhuang really have any evil intentions against himself?

When I came to the temple, I found out why I could not take classes today, and the place where I used to study was now a ruin, and the shrine collapsed more than half.For the indigenous people of the Ming Dynasty who were superstitious of the heavenly sense, this was obviously not a good omen, but when Fan came in, he was seeing the patriarch Fan Changwang taking the dry people and giving the ancestral card on the stone.

“Come in, you’re here, and you’re going to give your ancestors a kowtomy first.”The size of Fanzhuang is now divided into two villages, but an ancestor, we are the same root of the wood, the same source of water.Everyone can live forever, all by the ancestors.Now the temple has become like this, proving that we are the descendants of our descendants, and the ancestors are angry.If our ancestors do not protect us, our fields will no longer grow crops, and our homes will not be at peace.First kowtow, pay the sins of the ancestors, and say something.”

Fan into the bones did not believe this set of things, but into the countryside, he had to put up his clothes and kneel in the mud, to write the name of the ancestors of the Fan family to the wooden signs, but the heart is mumbling: these wooden cards really have any spirituality, I am afraid that the first did not let go of my fake Fan family.So they better be happy as puppets and don’t bother.

The mud soaked the clothes, even the face was stained with mud, and when he got up, Fan went into the mud with his sleeves to wipe the mud on his head, thinking in his heart: This time it was completely dirty.

Fan Changwang in front, Fan into the back, the two in the ruins of the shrine.In the current era of focusing on ancestors, for the countryside, the shrine is the first major event, and the ancestors are more important than their own lives.Fan Jin has already thought, Fan Changwang next, what is the problem to talk about.

"Into the boy, you also saw that the shrine became like this, and it would not be possible to repair it without repair."The ancestors are the common ancestors of our two villages, and the filial piety is treated equally and regardless of size.The work should be shared by the two villages, and the ancestors will be treated fairly in the spirit of heaven and the descendants of the shadow.You are a reader, you should know this.”

"Uncle, we don't talk about the truth first, but the little nephew does not understand that this matter should not be with our little Fanzhuang village chief, talk to the little nephew... The little nephew is afraid that it is difficult to take charge."

Fan Changwang did not look back, "You don't have to unload your shoulders so cleanly, since two years ago, your little Fan Zhuang thing, the obvious side is the long friend brother who has the final say, behind the back is your Fan Jin idea, you as others do not know this?"In the past, the two villages paid off taxes, which were apportioned according to the village, and the idea of assigning numbers of several fields to the population, wasn't you out?I said to my eldest friend about this, he must also ask you, I would like to ask directly from you, what is your attitude to the temple, in the face of the old face to say clearly, it is better to say in the clear place than to say behind the back."

The people of Da Fanzhuang are far more than Xiao Fanzhuang, and the economic conditions are naturally better than Xiao Fanzhuang.However, on issues such as support and hard service, it has always been distributed in units of villages, regardless of the specific number and economic strength, which is of course a great injustice in Fan Jin's view.The key is that the village has more points, give yourself less tuition, and in order to safeguard your own interests, you have to fight to the end.

Since his soul wears, he has made suggestions directly to the mayor of Xiao Fanzhuang to change the previous way of sharing.I can’t believe the mayor has betrayed himself.Thinking of these two years, he was always blinded by the patriarch, and most of them could not get away with it.

Since things have been picked up and denial does not make sense, he had to nod: "Uncle said that the little nephew is young and thoughtful, and you are more and more to bear on the elderly."As for the repair of the shrine, the nephew naturally has no objection, and the work and money are all the responsibilities of the descendants of the descendants, but the little nephew only has one question, this shrine is repaired, where is it?Do you continue to cultivate in the big Fanzhuang, or the small Fanzhuang?”

Fan Changwang stood up, took out the cigarette bag between the waist, and filled the cigarette without delay, Fan Jin did not wait to greet has stepped forward, took the firestone for Fan Changwang to light smoke.

White smoke spit out Fan Changwang's mouth, and even took a few sips, so he did not hesitate to say: "Into the boy, you ask, do you want to re-determine the social fire?"“Is that what you mean, or what you mean by the village?”
