Throughout the journey, Emperor Hongzhi was tired and exhausted, but looking around, there was no family studying.

Emperor Hongzhi's face became gloomy.

He looked back at Fang Jifan who was sweating profusely. Fang Jifan coughed but did not say anything.

But Xiao Jing said, "Your Majesty, most of the people here are vulgar. Although they can barely have enough food and clothing, they don't know... etiquette and righteousness, Your Majesty, we don't have to... no longer have to go on."

Emperor Hongzhi shook his head, but suddenly smiled: "Why not take a look more? It's great to see. Let's go, let's continue to take a look."

He actually turned over another neighbor and continued to ask Xiao Jing to ask.

It was indeed disappointing that the steady progress was stable.

Emperor Hongzhi sighed and still said nothing, but suddenly asked Fang Jifan, "Jifan, this is the place of the city, but in my opinion, ordinary people seem to be unwilling to study, but they don't know why. They say that the literary style here is so prosperous, but I can't see it at all."

Emperor Hongzhi suddenly felt boring.

Then he waved his hand: "Go to the prefect's office, Xiao Jing, go to the prefect's office and spread it."

Xiao Jing hugged his hands: "I obey the order."

…………

After hearing the news, Wang Guang, the governor of Luzhou, was shocked at first. But after verifying Xiao Jing's identity, he realized that it was true. He immediately felt refreshed and was nervous. He hurriedly brought the civil and military officials of Luzhou Prefecture to welcome him at the yamen.

Soon, Emperor Hongzhi's carriage and horse came.

But when Emperor Hongzhi got out of the car, Fang Jifan followed him, Wang Guang was so excited that he bowed: "My magistrate of Luzhou, Wang Guang, have seen Your Majesty."

Emperor Hongzhi nodded, walked into the yamen hall, took up his seat, then looked around, and said leisurely: "I am worshiping my ancestors and ancestors in Fengyang. I have nothing to do and want to walk around and take a look. I just walk around and don't want to disturb the people, so I have not made any big fuss."

As he said that, he couldn't help but pause, pursed his lips and turned his eyes to Wang Guang, and asked.

"I have long heard that the literary style of Luzhou Prefecture is so prosperous, and the Wang Qing family is like this?"

Wang Guang didn't know that His Majesty went to the neighborhood first.

He could not have expected that His Majesty would first ask about the local customs, and his face turned red with excitement. You know, this is his real political achievement. Under his own governance, Luzhou Prefecture has outstanding political achievements and everyone praised it. His Majesty is interested in this now, obviously, and he is also here to be famous.

He suppressed his inner excitement and hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, I am very ashamed. Luzhou Prefecture... There is no literary style, but... I have advocated some style of study since I took office. This education is the top priority of the court. As the prefect, I have no choice but to be responsible... I am very ashamed. Now that Your Majesty has fallen from the sky, I suddenly ask, and I am even more frightened... panic."

This is obviously a polite word.

In fact, Wang Guang wished he could engrave the best words on his forehead in Luzhou Education and Culture.

After hearing this, Emperor Hongzhi couldn't help but smile. With a light look, he picked up the teacup beside him and sipped a sip of tea: "I have heard a lot about Luzhou Prefecture. I heard that when it comes to education, Luzhou Prefecture is the best, but I don't know what is the reputation of Luzhou Prefecture's education."

Wang Guang was shocked. He knew that he was almost polite. Now it was time to show his true strength.

Wang Guangdao: "The year before yesterday, there were 130 high school juren in the provincial examination in Nanzhili. Luzhou Prefecture was not well-known in Nanzhili. In previous years, it only won six or seven people, but in the year before yesterday, it won twenty-four people."

Speaking of this, Wang Guang's face shone red.

Twenty-four people, this is not a small number: "And Chen Jinwen, a scholar in our province, ranked first and ranked first, and was Jieyuan, Nanzhili. Last year, the juren of our province went to Beijing to take the exam, and there were as many as nine people who were awarded the imperial examination, which was the highest in history. Not only that, there was also a legend in Luzhou. There was a family in Luzhou, surnamed Liu, who passed down the poetry and calligraphy of Liu, which was a local model. When Emperor Gao of Hongwu was in his hometown, there were people with high school Jinshi and family backgrounds. It can be seen that it has been spread to this day. There are 160 clans, including 21 scholars, and 5 scholars. Last year, three brothers passed the imperial examinations at the same time. Isn't this a three Jinshi in one school?"

When Wang Guang said this, his face was red and he danced happily.

He continued: "There is another family, both father and son, who are juren. When he entered Beijing this time, his son had not passed the imperial examination, but his father passed the imperial examination. His son is still young and he will definitely have a bright future in the future. It is believed that this father and son are both Jinshi."

"After I took office, I re-educated the school and purified the academic style. In addition, I would ask about all scholars and juren, and I would ask about my well-being, so that they would not worry about their health. Over the years, my efforts have not been in vain. Therefore, after they passed the imperial examination, most of them came to write books to express their gratitude. In fact, the most important thing about the imperial examination is to rely on themselves. What I can do is, after all, be limited. I can give them some funding, or collect some eight-part articles, copy them, and send them. If they have any help to their degree, I will do it with all my heart."

to be honest……

Wang Guang's political achievements are unfilled.

It is indeed surprising that one mansion can produce so many Jinshi and Juren.

This also shows that Wang Guang has spent a lot of effort.

If it were ten years ago, Emperor Hongzhi would have praised Wang Guang very much.

But now... I feel strange.

Wang Guang looked at Emperor Hongzhi's expressionless face and thought to himself that it was indeed unpredictable to the emperor's heart.

After all, he was the first time to meet the saint, and he accepted His Majesty's comments, so he was still nervous.

I was wondering if I was too modest at the beginning.

Then I wondered if the words in the future were too much bragging, but instead seemed to be too sharp.

Thinking about it repeatedly, I felt nervous.

Suddenly, he remembered something: "Can Your Majesty move the Holy Lord to the Houya Hall?"

Emperor Hongzhi raised his eyes and stared at Wang Guang, raised his eyebrows slightly, and asked in surprise: "Is that so? But what's the secret?"

But Wang Guang kept it in hiding.

"Your Majesty will know it as soon as you look at it."

Emperor Hongzhi became interested and a smile appeared in his face.

He got up and followed Wang Guang to the Houya Office.

This is Wang Guang's resting place after his busy official duties. Emperor Hongzhi walked into it and saw the whole room full of books, which were neatly placed on the bookshelf. Looking around, it can be said to be the world of books.

Wang Guang was in a high mood. He said excitedly: "Your Majesty, these... are the many articles I have collected since I took office. They are all the eight-part essays of the classics since Emperor Taizu Gao. In the dozens of imperial examinations in the imperial court, I have tried my best to think of countless ways to collect and copy them all. Your Majesty, please read it..."

He took out a copy and sent it to Emperor Hongzhi.

When Emperor Hongzhi opened the first page, he saw the familiar eight-legged essay and the inscriptions. The words were densely packed.

"Your Majesty... I searched for these things to let the scholars under my rule borrow them and let them copy them themselves. All the articles in the room are those who have mastered the eight-legged essays. They say that they can read 300 Tang poems, and they can recite them even if they can't write poems. I thought, if I could read 3000 eight-legged essays, how could this imperial examination be a problem?"

Wang Guang's mouth was trembling excitedly. Looking at his hard work, his eyes couldn't help but feel wet.

Over the years, I have been focusing on this, which has led to the prosperity of Luzhou Prefecture's literary style and the achievements of Luzhou Prefecture's education. Now, Your Majesty has come in person, and his efforts have finally been in vain.

Wang Guang was very proud. Not everyone had these books, many of them were collected by himself.

Therefore, he did not pay attention to Emperor Hongzhi's expression, but continued to show off, as if he was talking about precious treasures in detail.

"Because of this, my education is the best in all the prefectures in the world. There are also these eight-part essays, all of which are masterpieces selected by me, and they are all copied by me by me. When I copied it, I felt the exquisiteness of the text coming to my face..."

Emperor Hongzhi suddenly said, "These eight-legged essays... Ruoqing's family is searching and transcribing them, wouldn't there be nothing else to do?"

This sudden question made Wang Guang stunned.

He looked at Emperor Hongzhi as if he had poured a basin of cold water. His mouth trembled for a moment, and then said: "Your Majesty, education is the most important thing. As long as education is done, then governance is done by nothing... It will naturally be possible... It will come naturally. The key to governance is the hearts of the people, the key to the hearts of the people, the key to education, the key to education is the first to teach by words and deeds, Your Majesty... This... This..."

Emperor Hongzhi looked at Wang Guang and asked very seriously: "So... how many people have been admitted to school in the past few years?"

"This...this..."

Wang Guang naturally couldn't say it, and hesitated for a long time but didn't have a specific number.

Emperor Hongzhi said: "Since the emphasis is on education, then the study of benevolence and righteousness should be deeply rooted in people's hearts. If everyone knows the knowledge and knowledge, it will be a great rule. Is this... right?"

“Yes, yes.”

"How many people are there in Luzhou Prefecture who can understand the words and words, and know benevolence and righteousness?"

"This..." Wang Guang couldn't answer for a moment, and he said: "There is a Jinshi in Luzhou Prefecture now..."

Emperor Hongzhi shook his head in disappointment: "What I want to know is, how many people are enrolled here, how many people are able to learn benevolence, righteousness, integrity and shame, or three or four hundred?"

Wang Guang was a little confused and his mouth twitched slightly.

He couldn't understand this question from Your Majesty.

Does this have anything to do with education?

The things about education are the things of scholars.

How does it have anything to do with ordinary people?

Do ordinary people also have to study?

For a moment, Wang Guang didn't know what to do, but he started to stumble and couldn't answer. His face turned slightly red, and suddenly he had an ominous premonition.
