Chapter 105 Establishment of the Academy

"What treasure did you find?"

The reason why Zhao Weiji suddenly became so excited and said that he had picked up the treasure was because Fujiwara Kako, who was lying on the home now, might be the author of a legendary book.

If the pinnacle of ancient Chinese literary works is "Dream of Red Mansions", there shouldn't be many people who have objected. There is a book in Japan called "Dream of Red Mansions" in Japan, and the name of this book is "The Tale of Genji".

The author of "The Story of Genji", the original name of Zi Shibu is said to be Fujiwara Kako or Fujiwara Nobuko. At this time, Zhao Weiji guessed that the Fujiwara Kako who is in the mansion now may be the legendary Zi Shibuko.

First of all, according to Kasuko's own description, she was born into the Fujiwara family's division and was proficient in Chinese poetry and Central Plains culture. In addition, she sang a poem by Bai Juyi in the venue today. These are the same as the legendary Zi Shibu.

Zhao Weiji had checked this "Talk of Genji" before, and the encyclopedia entry about "Talk of Genji" once described the author as follows:

"The author of "The Story of Genji" is the famous female writer Zi Shibu (973-1015), a famous female writer in the Heian period of Japan (794-1192 AD). Zi Shibu's surname is Fujiwara, whose name is unknown. According to the convention that women in ancient Japan had no names, some people believe that their original name is Fujiwara Kako or Fujiwara Nobuko. Zi Shibu was just the title of the title written by later generations. Because her elder brother was the Minister of Shibu, the female officials in the palace often used the title of their father and brother to show their identity, they were called Fujiwara. Later, because she wrote the "The Story of Genji" that she wrote was the female in "The Story of Genji".

The protagonist Zi Ji was praised by the world, so he changed it to Zi Shiji. The author's birth and death date is unknown. It is generally believed that he was born in 978 and died in 1015. Zi Shiji was born in a middle-class aristocratic family full of books. He was a very talented woman. His grandfather and brother were famous singers at that time. His father was even more good at Chinese poetry and songs and was very knowledgeable about Chinese classical literature. Therefore, the author was able to learn Chinese poetry with his father since he was a child and read ancient Chinese classics. Not only did she have a deep understanding of Bai Juyi's poetry, but she also had a good understanding of Buddhist scriptures and music."

According to the records in the entry and the current situation of Fujiwara Kako, you will find that they are all from nobles and are proficient in Chinese poetry and Central Plains culture. Although Fujiwara Kako did not say that she liked Bai Juyi's poems, judging from the fact that she chose Bai Juyi's poems, she probably has good attainments in Bai Juyi's poems.

The most important point is that the age legend is that the Zi Shikibu originated in 978 AD. If that is the case, it is now 996 AD. The Zi Shikibu is now 18 years old. And now the Fujiwara Kako in the mansion looks about 28 years old, and it seems that the difference is not much.

Based on the above information, Zhao Weiji guessed that this Fujiwara Kaoru might be the legendary Zishibe.

"Why are you asking, what treasure did you pick up? Who is that Fujiwara Kaori?" Chai Yu's words rang out in his ears while Zhao Weiji was still thinking about it.

"This..." Zhao Weiji naturally couldn't tell Chai Yu about the Purple Story or "The Story of Genji". When asked at this time, he had to perfunctory: "This girl is not simple. You believe my judgment. Her attainments in Central Plains culture may not be as shallow as she said."

He knew that his husband might be perfunctory, but Chai Yu had no choice, because Zhao Weiji sometimes saw that people could really reach the level of prediction.

He once said that Kou Zhun was the talent of the prime minister, but Kou Zhun was now really the prime minister. He also said that Li Jilong would become a famous general, but Li Jilong now has a tendency to become a famous general.

Now Zhao Weiji has said that he has picked up the treasure again, then this Fujiwara Kako is really a treasure.

"So, my wife. Let her live in our house these days. After all the blind dates are completed, we will take her to meet the gentlemen in the academy. We can take this opportunity to start the women's academy together."

"I don't object to keeping her there. After all, she didn't come to get married. It may be inconvenient to be with other girls, but do we have a place to live in our family?"

"We have a lot of rooms, why don't we have a place to live?"

"There are quite a few rooms, is the question ** enough?"

This question suddenly stopped Zhao Weiji. ** is really not enough. Since his family has not arrived before, Zhao Weiji has always lived a bachelor life in Xinhua City.

This palace has been built for a while, but Zhao Weiji did not buy too much furniture, and there was not even a servant.

Now the furniture in the royal palace is also something Zhao Weiji thought that his family was about to arrive, and then bought it according to the number of people, without any extra money.

When Chai Yu arrived in Xinhua City, he also complained to Zhao Weiji, but Zhao Weiji didn't care too much. After all, in Xinhua City, basically people who have friendship with Zhao Weiji also have homes, and no one will stay at his house.

But I didn't expect that someone would stay at their home so soon, which made Zhao Weiji feel troubled.

"Uh, that's it..."

"What's this? Don't worry about furniture. Today, Xiaonian and I went out to the street and have already found a new carpenter to buy new ones, but it's still time to go. During this period, let Miss Xiangzi go to Xiaonian's room, Xiaonian and me, and you go to the study."

"No, my wife, don't do this."

"You can't live by committing your own evil deeds. That's it." After that, Chai Yu took the dirty bowl from Zhao Weiji's hand, then turned around and went into the kitchen.

Since it takes time to create furniture and the blind dates have been ongoing, Zhao Weiji held it in the study for ten days. Ten days later, the first blind date was finally over, and new furniture has also arrived.

However, Zhao Weiji had no time to celebrate his miserable escape from the sea of ​​sleeping in the study, because after the blind date was over, other things came one after another.

First of all, what should I do if the remaining girls were picked after the first blind date?

The big guys in the city hall discussed the past, and finally came to a conclusion, that is, since they couldn't get married, they should be maids first.

Anyway, these Japanese girls had perfectly qualified family abilities, so the big guys picked a few of them and took them home.

The families of these big guys were quite satisfied with this way of handling it. After all, after coming to this place, there was no servant and he had to do everything by himself. They were a little uncomfortable with the happiness in Zhongyuan.

After the matter here is handled, Zhao Weiji will start preparing for the establishment of the academy.

Originally, in Zhao Weiji's plan, the academy would be divided into three parts, one part was a comprehensive academic institution similar to Tsinghua Academy. Moreover, since it was not monitored by the Central Plains in Xinhua City, the education of orthodox academics could also be established together. This is why Zhao Weiji had to invite many Confucian scholars when he returned to the Central Plains this time.

The second part is Tongmeng Academy like Yuying Academy. After all, education has always been maintained by Zhao Weiji. In addition, with the arrival of more immigrants, the number of children in this city has also begun to increase, so it is necessary to establish such Tongmeng Academy.

The third part is the so-called Chengren Academy, which popularizes compulsory education to eliminate illiteracy. The reason why I wanted to establish such a college is because many immigrants actually have low literacy rates. When the city hall promulgates any decree, it will also send people to stand guard to explain, which is very troublesome.

Moreover, according to Zhao Weiji's plan, more and more technical workers will be needed. The establishment of this Chengren Academy can also lay the foundation for the future training of technical workers.

However, the plan has changed a little now. Due to the arrival of Fujiwara Kako, Zhao Weiji had the idea of ​​establishing a Women's Academy. This Women's Academy was not just to make the girl's surname read. Zhao Weiji also hoped that women could also receive a higher education. After all, in some fields, women are more talented than men.

However, when Zhao Weiji proposed his ideas to these gentlemen, the others were approved, but this women's college was opposed by all the gentlemen, especially Mr. Li Zhicai.

The reason they opposed was that women are bound to be inferior to men in their studies, and it is a waste to establish a women's academy. Although there were talented women like Shangguan Wan'er in history, they were a minority after all, and Shangguan Wan'er's family background can only be regarded as an exception.

Mr. Li Zhicai is the top scholar among the scholars Zhao Weiji invited in the Central Plains this time. Shao Yong, a famous scholar in history, was his student.

Therefore, Zhao Weiji respects this person quite well. Now he actually takes the lead in opposing it, which makes Zhao Weiji a little difficult.

However, Zhao Weiji did not give up on the idea of ​​establishing a Women's College because Zhao Weiji still had an ace in his hand. He knew that once this ace was played, he would definitely be able to conquer these old and stubborn ones.

And his ace may be Fujiwara Kako from the Zishibe. Zhao Weiji believes that Fujiwara Kako's cultural attainments will definitely change the prejudice of these old stubborn people towards women entering school.

So Zhao Weiji really brought Fujiwara Kako to the group of old men and asked them to discuss and see if there would be any changes.

As Zhao Weiji expected, although these gentlemen still had great prejudice against Fujiwara Kako at the beginning, because she was not only a woman, but also a Fusam.

However, soon, these gentlemen were impressed by Fujiwara Kako's extensive cultural knowledge and strong poetry cultivation, especially Fujiwara Kako's proficiency in Bai Juyi's poetry is very much in his appetite for Mr. Li Zhicai.

Since gentlemen love Xiangzi very much, Zhao Weiji took the opportunity to put forward a theory at this time, that is, even women, if they can get good teaching, they will definitely do something. After all, even Xiangzi, who grew up under Fusang culture, can achieve such achievements in Central Plains culture, and other Central Plains women who grew up under Central Plains culture should also be able to achieve the same achievements.

With pearls and jade like Fujiwara Kako, the gentlemen could not refute Zhao Weiji's theory, so they had no reason to oppose the establishment of the Women's College.

Therefore, a large comprehensive academy integrating four major parts was born in Xinhua City, and this academy was also named as the city, called Xinhua Academy.
