Fang Yun walked to the front of the crowd. As soon as he stood still, he saw a group of people bowing to him. Then, the crowd followed suit.
"Student greets Fang Xusheng!"
"Student greets Fang Xusheng!"
"Student greets …"
The sixty thousand people's greetings echoed in the air above the Wen Courtyard.
Many students were nervous. After all, the one standing in front of them was Fang Yun. There were also some students who felt awkward. Fang Yun was responsible for the sudden increase in food prices. Fang Yun did not deal with the food issue, but came to give a lecture. They were afraid that the situation outside the Academy was chaotic. Only a few people did not care. They were waiting for Fang Yun to give a lecture.
The atmosphere was a bit complicated.
Fang Yun smiled and nodded. He said, "That day when I said that I would give a lecture in the Academy of Arts, I was worried that no one would come. Today, my worries have been dispelled. It seems that there are still people who are willing to listen to my lecture."
Many students laughed softly. They did not expect Fang Yun to use such an ordinary opening speech. It did not have the arrogance of Xusheng or the dignity of a teacher. It was very comfortable to listen to.
Fang Yun looked at a twelve or thirteen year old boy. He raised his chin and smiled. "Where did this brat come from? Why are there vegetable leaves on your clothes? I can tell that you had green onions for breakfast."
Everyone laughed. They knew that the child came too quickly.
The child blushed and did not know how to answer.
Then, Fang Yun turned his head slightly and pretended to listen to the child. He continued, "What? You said you didn't have breakfast today? Oh. The green onions were yesterday's? "
"Haha …" More people laughed. Even the little boy was amused by Fang Yun's words.
There was a clear change in the atmosphere. Fang Yun smiled and glanced at the crowd. He said, "Since you are here, you must know that the content of my lecture is the Holy Words and the Scriptures. The Elementary Scholar Exam and the Elementary Scholar Exam test the Holy Words. From the Elementary Scholar Exam to the Great Scholar Exam, the Scriptures are the most important. Today, I will explain the way to take the test. After that, we will talk about how to learn the scriptures. "
If it was half a year ago. It was very difficult for Fang Yun to talk about his experiences that were truly useful. At most, he would repeat the methods written by other scholars. However, as he read more and more books, he had more and more experience in exams. He even had the experience of being an examiner himself, which gave him a clearer understanding of the imperial examinations.
Fang Yun smiled and said, "Please write down a large section of the Sacred Speech from memory. This county does not need to repeat it. If you remember it, then write it down. If you don't remember, then don't write it down. I'll start with the questions on the first three pages … "
Based on his own experience and the books he had read, Fang Yun explained in detail how to solve the questions. For every step of the explanation, he would use a question as an example, explaining the profound in simple terms.
However … The most important thing was that when Fang Yun was lecturing, he had the power of the Heavenly Word, which only a Grand Scholar could possess. He could completely remember the contents of the book. The places that he originally knew had a deeper impression, and the places that he originally did not know had become very clear.
Fang Yun did not talk about anything profound, and it was impossible for the Sacred Speech to have a profound technique. However, Fang Yun completely broke down the elements of the Sacred Speech. He carried out the system's sorting, and then carefully explained each element.
At the end … Fang Yun made a summary, connecting these subtle elements into a whole, forming the way to answer the questions.
After that, Fang Yun began to explain the meaning of the scriptures. It was different from explaining the Sacred Speech. The meaning of the scriptures could not be explained mechanically like the Sacred Speech. Therefore, Fang Yun taught the meaning of the scriptures from a higher perspective. Some aspects were very profound, but under the power of the Heavenly Word, even if the students did not understand it now, it would accumulate in their minds. As their knowledge continued to increase, they could naturally understand it.
Many people only instinctively remembered and learned, and could not perceive the effect. However, one day they would understand and be enlightened. Moreover, they would have a higher chance of being enlightened than those who had not listened to Fang Yun's lectures.
At noon, the lecture ended.
After Fang Yun finished speaking, he walked away alone. No one sent him off, and no one saluted him. This was because everyone was still immersed in the previous lecture, thinking, recalling, verifying …
Ao Huang was stunned. He only reacted when Fang Yun was more than ten feet away. With a swish of his tail, he flew to Fang Yun's side.
It was only then that the students gradually woke up.
They looked around, and in the end, they could only see Fang Yun's back.
"Thank you, Mister Fang!" A scholar bowed.
"Thank you, Mister Fang!"
More students were awakened, and more of them addressed Fang Yun as Mister.
Some of the officials of Ning An County stood at the edge of the square. Some of the officials of the Left Minister's party looked at Fang Yun's back and whispered.
"If I could listen to such a lecture in the past, I would be a Grand Scholar now!"
"If you could become a Grand Scholar, I would definitely be in Hanlin!"
"It's a pity that this' food disaster 'will make two or even three subjects of his hard work go to waste."
"I hope people don't starve to death …"
"How many days has it been? No one will die, but it's hard to say what will happen in ten days. "
"As expected of Fang Xusheng. His bearing is far beyond that of ordinary people. If an ordinary county magistrate were to encounter such a situation, he would definitely deliberately criticize Prime Minister Liu during his lecture. Then, he would call on the scholars to besiege the grain store, or criticize the other government offices. But he's good. He just gives a lecture, and then he leaves as soon as he's done. "
"I just don't know how he'll deal with it in the future."
"Compared to the Left Minister and Master Ji, Fang Xusheng's political affairs are still far behind."
"That's right, that's right …"
Many people nodded, but in their hearts, they sneered. If Ji Zhibai, as the enemy of the Left Minister, was placed in Ning An County, he would definitely collapse in less than a month.
"Oh no …" A junior official suddenly whispered.
"What's wrong?"
"My family's grain can only last for ten days. I only found out that the price of grain had skyrocketed when I left. My wife might not know. I have to buy it quickly. The longer I wait, the more expensive it will be!" With that, he ran away.
"Why are you panicking when you can eat for ten days?"
"It's not the grain that's panicking, it's the people's hearts. Who knows if the price will increase tenfold in ten days? In the past, there was a rumor that the Dragons had sealed the seas. The entire Sheng Yuan Continent panicked. Many people bought sea salt at a high price. It's said that even the scholars believed it. Now, everyone treats the matter of sea salt as a joke. But if our own family's grain can't last until the new grain arrives, even if we don't panic, what about our wives? What about the elderly? What about the people who have been starved? The common people never care about the truth. They only care about their own worries. Some people, just like what Magistrate Fang said, are stubborn scholars! Stubborn scholars! "
"Official Shen, when will the price of grain rise? How high will it go? "
"I don't know."
Some officials looked at each other and quickly left.
Ao Huang followed behind Fang Yun gloomily. "I thought you would scold the Left Minister and Lan Xungu after your lecture, but you didn't say a word."
Fang Yun walked and said, "Do you think I need to scold them?"
"Didn't you say you wanted to start a war of public opinion?"
"If I need to start a war of public opinion, then this lecture will be a failure." Fang Yun said indifferently.
