Lin Qing was talking to Lin Shan, when Lin Zhu in the room finished his lecture, opened the door with a book in hand, raised his eyes to see Lin Qing, was startled, and hurriedly said to Lin Qing, "Second Tang uncle!"
Lin Qing heard the voice, turned around, looked at Lin Zhu, smiled and said, "No need to be polite, I just came to see how the school is doing now."
Lin Zhu couldn't help but blush a little when he heard Lin Qing talking about the school, and said, "It's all because the nephews didn't live up to expectations and let the uncle down."
Lin Qing waved his hand and said: "Where is this? The imperial examination is originally a single-plank bridge for thousands of people to cross. Even those aristocratic families and scholarly families cannot guarantee that talents will emerge from generation to generation. What's more, people like us don't need to be too harsh. Just do your best by yourself."
Lin Shan and Lin Zhu felt a little better when they heard this, but thinking that their grades are far worse than their uncle's back then, and their students' qualifications back then were not as good, they feel a little better and feel uncomfortable again.
Lin Qing saw that the students were about to come out after class, so she said to Lin Shan and Lin Zhu, "Go back to the ear room first, I have something to ask you."
As he spoke, he took the lead to walk towards the ear room, Lin Shan and Lin Zhu hurriedly followed.
After entering the ear room, after Lin Qing sat down, he said to Lin Shan and Lin Zhu, "Sit down!" Lin Shan and Lin Zhu then sat down.
After Lin Shan and Lin Zhu sat down, Lin Qing asked: "You have also taught the children for a long time, what do you think about the children in the class now?"
Lin Shan and Lin Zhu looked at each other and fell into deep thought. After a while, Lin Zhu first said: "My nephew thinks that these children's aptitude is not bad, at least much better than ours at that time, but this group of children Too playful, not sure at all, as long as I take my eyes off every day, I will go crazy."
Lin Shan also echoed from the side: "That's right, I don't think studying is so important at all. I think when my nephew was young, he was afraid that one day he would not learn enough, but these children are not forced, and they can't remember it at all. study."
After hearing this, Lin Qing tapped the table next to her with her fingers. Students don't want to study. This is a problem that has never changed through the ages. Even in later generations, countless teachers will jump because of students not wanting to study.
Lin Qing then said: "Study is very boring for many children, and it's normal not to want to learn. As for the two of you, Lin Shan, the reason why you liked learning at the beginning was because you studied well, and on the other hand On the one hand, you like the praise brought by studying, so you like to study, and Lin Zhu, you were already fourteen when you studied seriously, and you are already sensible, and you understand what it means to study the imperial examination. You have a clear purpose, so You want to learn.
But for the children in the house, they are still young now, and few of them have realized the glory brought by studying well. In addition, the imperial examination is still far away from them. How could they give up playing and like boring study! "
After Lin Shan and Lin Zhu heard this, they suddenly realized that it was no wonder that they hated iron and steel and imposed strict discipline every day.
Lin Shan asked Lin Qing: "Uncle, we will understand this truth as soon as you explain it, but now, although this child is young, he is just at the age of studying, and when they grow up, even if they understand, it will be too late .¡±
Lin Zhu also nodded and said, "That's right, my nephew understood it too late at the beginning, and only studied hard under the teaching of my cousin when I was fourteen. My son has no motivation to take the exam anymore, if my nephew had woken up early, he would have to go to the capital to fight for it."
"It's almost impossible to solve the problem of boring learning. After all, there are very few people who love to learn naturally. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is rare, but it is not difficult to make children want to learn." Lin Qing said.
"What should I do?" Lin Shan and Lin Zhu were excited when they heard this, and hurriedly asked.
Lin Qing said lightly: "The people who study hard in this world, don't you think they are really born to like to study, and really feel that learning is very happy? But why are there so many students studying hard? It's because of learning. It can achieve some other purposes, such as the praise of parents, the high praise of people around, or for the future, or even become an official. Therefore, most people study hard not because they like learning, but because of the benefits of learning.
So we can't change the boringness of learning itself, we can only increase the benefits of learning, such as the simplest, setting up scholarships. "
Lin Shan and Lin Zhu had never heard of scholarships, but they had experienced Lin Qing's reward of 200 mu of fertile land for the county examination, so Lin Zhu tried to say: "Tang uncle means that he intends to give The children of the Lin family who passed the exam will be rewarded with land?"
"It doesn't have to be land rewards, money is fine too," Lin Qing looked at Lin Shan and Lin Zhu, and said:
"Don't you realize?, Is silver more attractive than learning? "
Lin Shan:
Lin Zhu:
Can't refute, what should I do?
"But, using money to induce children to study, wouldn't it be too much?" Lin Shan hesitated, but still said.
Lin Qing glanced at him and said with a smile: "In Song Zhenzong's "Encouragement to Learning", there are two sentences 'the book has its own golden house, and the book has its own Yan Ruyu', which refers to the benefits of reading and has inspired many people in the world. Students are motivated by reading, and many who don¡¯t read much think that they are good books, but you have both passed the imperial examination, so you should understand the real meaning. It is said that after obtaining fame, you can get money and beautiful women through fame. You see, Song Zhenzong An emperor knows how to use money and beauties to induce the world's students to study, don't you think it's vulgar for me to use money to induce?"
After hearing this, Lin Shan and Lin Zhu stopped talking. When they took the imperial examination, it was because of the golden house and Yan Ruyu.
Lin Shan couldn't help but said to Lin Qing a little ashamedly: "It's my nephew who missed something."
Lin Qing said with a smile: "Some scholars outside are very lofty, as if a little money, there is a smell of copper, but they don't think about it, people eat whole grains, if they have no money, maybe they live by drinking northwest wind, The so-called gentleman loves money and gets it in a proper way. As long as the money comes in the right way, there is no shame in it. Don't be led by those sour people. According to them, the Minister of the Ministry of Households is in charge of the world's finances. Isn't the smell of copper killing people every eight hundred miles!"
Lin Shan and Lin Zhu laughed when they heard this.
Lin Zhu smiled and said, "Uncle Tang is a good analogy. If someone says that in the future, my nephew will use this to scold him."
"It's just for fun, why bother with those people, because you have lost your identity for nothing." Lin Qing shook her head, most of those who can be sour to that extent are unhappy in life, even if they are not sour on this, they will blame that .
Lin Shan asked: "What does uncle plan to do?"
Lin Qing thought for a while and said: "I plan to gather several families together and ask each family to give up hundreds of acres as a sacrifice field in the clan. After the autumn harvest every year, I will take part of it as a scholarship for the school and award it to you. Children with high grades and high progress."
Although he can also get these lands himself, after all, the Lin family's school belongs to the Lin family, not his family, so Lin Qing still plans to let each family share it equally, so as to avoid disputes in the future, anyway, each house of the Lin family does not lack this land.
Lin Shan and Lin Zhu nodded after listening. This idea is really good.
Lin Shan said: "Then I'll tell my grandpa when I get home today."
Lin Zhu also hurriedly said, "I'll go back and tell my grandfather, and ask him to prepare the property."
Lin Qing said: "Don't worry, I'll sort out all the things in the school first, think about all the problems, and then get all the families together, and talk about it together when the time comes."
"Yes, nephew, but follow my uncle's orders." Lin Shan and Lin Zhu said.
Lin Qing was talking to Lin Shan and Lin Zhu, when the door was pushed open suddenly, Lin Chun walked in, angrily said loudly as he walked in: "These bastards are so mad at me"
Just as he was talking, he looked up and saw Lin Qing in the room suddenly. What he was about to say was suddenly stuck in his throat, and he coughed violently. You are here!" (Remember this website URL: www.hlnovel.com
