"Good, what a good" Disciple Rules "!"
Prefectural Magistrate Dong flipped through the thin book in his hands and the worry on his face disappeared. After reading the entire "Disciple Rules", he couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.
"" Disciple Rules? "
A person standing quietly in the hall raised his head and looked at Prefectural Magistrate Dong with a confused expression.
He didn't know what made Magistrate Dong so happy, and what was this "Disciple Rules"?
"Professor Feng, take a look at this" Disciple Rules "as well." Seeing the confusion of the person in the hall, Prefectural Magistrate Dong closed the book and handed it over.
The man called Professor Feng accepted the book with both hands, his heart full of suspicion. When he looked at it, he saw the beautiful three small words on the cover, "Disciple Rules".
He raised his head and glanced at Prefectural Magistrate Dong before flipping to the first page. There were only a few thousand words, but Professor Feng read very slowly. Gradually, his expression changed from calm to excited.
"Magistrate Dong, this, this" Disciple Rules ", who wrote it?" Professor Feng raised his head to look at Prefectural Magistrate Dong, his expression shocked. "These three words are simple and easy to understand. They promote filial piety, honesty, benevolence, and observance of propriety. It is truly an excellent work for enlightening and educating the disciples!"
As a prefectural school professor and the head of the prefectural scholars, his responsibility was to educate and instruct. Speaking of which, he understood the meaning of this "Disciple Rules" even more than Prefectural Magistrate Dong.
"Congratulations, Magistrate. With this" Disciple Rules ", you no longer need to worry about educating." Professor Feng quickly understood the crux of the matter and saluted Prefectural Magistrate Dong with his fists.
Of course, he understood the difficulties Prefectural Magistrate Dong faced. If he presented this "Disciple Rules", he could make up for the lack of educating this year.
"I heard that this article was written by a scholar in the prefecture. I owe it all to him!" Prefectural Magistrate Dong was clearly in a good mood and no longer had the troubled expression from before.
When the steward of the mansion had delivered the article, he had already told him that this "Disciple Rules" was not written by the female teacher. It was written by a young man named Li Yi.
Prefectural Magistrate Dong immediately sent someone to investigate the scholar's background. Of course, the most important thing was to confirm whether or not he was from Qing An Fu. If the "Rules for Disciples" had already appeared elsewhere, then wouldn't he have been happy for nothing?
Fortunately, Li Yi did not disappoint him. He had the title of Xiucai and was a member of Qing 'an Prefecture under his rule.
Prefectural Magistrate Dong had already memorized this name. If he were to become a High Scholar in the future, he could take care of him and recommend him to the Ministry of Appointments so that he could fill the vacancy.
"It's all thanks to Sir's guidance." Professor Feng flattered him at the right time.
If this "Rules for Disciples" could be implemented, then the credit of educating would definitely fall onto Magistrate Dong's head.
Magistrate Dong seemed to have thought of something. He shook his head and said, "It's just that the Elementary Scholar named Li Yi doesn't seem to want to improve himself. He doesn't focus on his studies and wants to become a High Scholar as soon as possible. Instead, he opens a shop in the city. A good scholar doesn't want to be a businessman. If I hadn't sent someone to verify this, I wouldn't have believed that he was the one who wrote the 'Rules for Disciples'."
"Li Yi?"
Professor Feng paused and asked, "Is it the Li Yi who wrote 'Immortal Magpie Bridge' and 'Shuidiao Getou'?"
"Professor Feng also knows this person?" Prefectural Magistrate Dong raised his eyebrows and asked.
"The Li Yi I know is the one who wrote 'Immortal Magpie Bridge' and 'Shuidiao Getou'. Li Yi is unparalleled in poetry and was called the 'number one scholar of the Jing Kingdom' by the Secretary of Education. I don't know if it's the same person that Sir is talking about." Professor Feng said after some thought.
"'Shuidiao Getou'? The poem that was circulated during the Mid-Autumn Poetry Meet? " Prefectural Magistrate Dong furrowed his eyebrows. In his opinion, poetry was just a small path and had no use in governing a country. It was all leftovers from their playtime. As for the Mid-Autumn Poetry Meet, he only went through the motions and didn't pay much attention to it. Later, he only heard about 'Shuidiao Getou' from the daughter of the manor. As for who wrote the poem, he wasn't too sure.
"If it is really as Sir says, then this kind of scholar who doesn't know how to improve should be given a beating. If we can get him to return to the right path, perhaps he will be another good talent in the future." Professor Feng heard this and said with a frown.
As a prefectural professor, what he did the most was to teach and guide the students of the prefectural school. Who knew how many stubborn and mischievous students had walked the right path under his guidance.
"I didn't think that the teacher would have such an evaluation of him. I am even more curious about this person …"
A look of interest appeared on Prefectural Magistrate Dong's face as he stroked the short beard on his chin.
… …
These few days, the young masters and misses of Qing 'an prefectural city had many complaints about the Ruyi Workshop.
Since a few days ago, this shop had stopped selling Ruyi dew. They could only rely on previous orders to get the goods. This caused many people who didn't have the time to buy to feel regret.
In the present Qing 'an prefectural city, Ruyi dew had clearly become the leading fashion trend. Young ladies, scholars, and scholars all fought to buy it. The sudden cessation of sales created a significant impact in these high society circles.
However, just as they couldn't hold it in any longer and planned to go to the Ruyi Workshop to ask the reason, in the span of a night, many shops selling Ruyi dew suddenly appeared in the prefectural city.
At first, people were skeptical. After all, there had only been one shop selling the Ruyi Dew in the past few days. It was said that many people who wanted to buy the recipe of the Ruyi Dew were all rejected. How could so many shops suddenly appear?
Of course, an extremely small number of people didn't have any suspicions. Behind these shops was Ning Wang Fu. How could there be a problem with what they were selling?
Of course, most people's suspicions were completely dispelled after they personally went to the Ruyi Workshop to ask.
The shopkeeper of the Ruyi Workshop personally admitted that what the shops were selling was genuine Ruyi dew. In other words, from now on, there would no longer be a situation where Ruyi dew was out of stock and people couldn't buy it even if they wanted to.
After the suspicions disappeared, a new wave of panic buying immediately erupted in the prefectural city.
Countless people rushed to the newly opened shops. The workers in the shops couldn't keep up. They even had to temporarily transfer some people from other places to stabilize the situation.
When shopkeeper Wang heard this news, his initial shock turned to disbelief. In the blink of an eye, he became ecstatic. His heart that had been hanging in the air finally relaxed.
The popularity of the Ruyi dew far exceeded his expectations. At this rate, in just a few days, he would be able to recoup all the capital he had invested.
If this situation could continue, in two months, not only would he be able to make up for the shortfall, the income of the wang fu would definitely exceed that of previous years.
The business of hard liquor was still in preparation. There was also the perfume and soap that the scholar had mentioned … if the profits from these businesses could be like the Ruyi dew … just thinking about it made Housekeeper Wang's blood boil.
His little prince had finally done something reliable!
