I clearly wanted to be a tyrant, but how did I become the greatest emperor of all time?

Huang Xiao looked at the three scholars in confusion.

These three people are Xia Donglin's most proud disciples.

The leader is called Xie Yi, who is the successor of Xia Donglin.

Xia Donglin praised Xie Yi more than once, believing that he could inherit the Taoist tradition of Donglin College.

Unexpectedly, when the building collapsed, the first person to escape was Xie Yi, a proud disciple.

Xie Yi said: "Sir Huang, I have admired the School of Mind for a long time and I have studied all the works of the School of Mind."

The other two also hurriedly said: "We have also admired Xinxue for a long time!"

Huang Xiao asked doubtfully, "Does Xia Donglin know that you are here to apply for the job?"

The three of them looked at each other and shook their heads.

Huang Xiao was also happy now.

However, Huang Xiao now has deep roots in Yuhang, and he is also clear about Xie Yi's background.

Xie Yi was born in a poor family, but he was a well-known child prodigy since childhood.

Xia Donglin allowed him to enroll in Donglin College for free.

Xie Yi passed the examination for a scholar at the age of thirteen, but his subsequent road to the imperial examination was somewhat bumpy. Now he is twenty-five years old, and he has not passed the examination for a juren.

Xie Yi's family is ordinary and he has no income from studying all year round.

Originally in Donglin Academy, there were some wealthy people who supported him. Xie Yi barely managed to make ends meet by relying on donations from everywhere and some income from writing.

But now Donglin Academy is closed.

In order to make a living, Xie Yi had to find a job.

But he had been obsessed with studying Confucianism, and when he came out he found that he couldn't find a job at all!

Now that Neo-Confucianism is no longer the official academic discipline, the court promotes the School of Mind, and it is very difficult to find a job as a staff member.

Xie Yi was just a scholar, and he had no knowledge of criminal law, so he couldn't be a lawyer.

What every shop wants is an accountant who can write and do math.

What the workshop needs is an engineer who can handle mechanical problems.

If Xie Yi continues like this, he will surely starve to death.

I heard that the Yuhang Daily, run by the government school, is very profitable, and now all the teachers in the government school have made a fortune.

Xie Yi gritted his teeth and came to Huang Xiao to try his luck.

Huang Xiao looked at Xie Yi and said, "Xie Caizi, it's not that I don't trust you."

"There is a huge gap between psychology and rationalism. You can't change it by just reading a few books."

"How about this, I will allow you to study in the mansion, and after you pass the exam, you can become a teacher in the mansion school."

"What do you think?"

Xie Yi and the other two hesitated.

By turning to psychology, they have lost the last bit of their dignity.

Now Huang Xiao actually asked them to be students, which Xie Yi found a little hard to accept.

Huang Xiao continued, "Students of the current Fuxue are also considered intern editors of the Yuhang Daily."

"Students can also receive a portion of the Yuhang Daily's dividends every month."

"If you contribute actively, you might get a lot of money."

This time Xie Yi did not hesitate and immediately said, "Thank you, Mr. Huang!"

The next day, the news that Xie Yi had joined Huang Xiao and enrolled in the provincial school spread throughout Yuhang.

Xia Donglin was so angry that he smashed a valuable porcelain piece.

Then Xia Donglin immediately announced that Xie Yi and others would be expelled from the sect!

No matter how incompetent and furious Xia Donglin was, Huang Xiao's official school was run successfully.

The people of Yuhang prefer to send their children to government schools.

The official school provides food, which at least provides food for one child.

Although the children can no longer farm and work, they can learn skills and become engineers or accountants, which are much better than farming!

This provides a new way out for many people.

In the past, common people had to compete in large numbers to take the fiercely competitive imperial examinations.

Among hundreds of scholars, there are only a few juren.

Children of ordinary people dare not get involved in it at all.

Because the cost of failure is too high!

If one only passes the exam and becomes a scholar, he will be a poor scholar and also at the bottom of society.

Only by passing the imperial examination can one enter the gentry class.

But ordinary people simply don't have the ability to raise their children to do something with such a low probability.

But official schools are different.

If you can't be an official, you can be an engineer or an accountant. If that doesn't work, you can keep your body in good shape or go to the battlefield to make achievements.

Now the army also needs artillerymen who can write and calculate!

The last time, several senior soldiers followed General Rand to Dai Viet, they made great military achievements in Dai Viet, and some were even granted titles and made marquises.

While official schools were packed with students, private schools closed down one after another.

Huang Xiao and Fang Hao's random punches actually defeated the master teacher of Yuhang's century-old private school.

But it was not a complete victory, and Neo-Confucianism still had a great influence in Yuhang.

Many disciples of Neo-Confucianism still served as officials in the Zhou Dynasty.

It is just suppressing private schools, but it will not completely destroy science.

Here, the School of Mind is emerging in Yuhang.

Monk Hongan, who was determined to preach in India, finally arrived in Wanggang, Thailand.

Monk Hongan almost vomited acid during the journey. No matter how much he recited Buddhist scriptures, he could not suppress the nausea caused by seasickness.

Only after he stepped onto land did he calmly recite "Amitabha".

But when he saw the pagodas and various Buddha statues everywhere, the discomfort in his heart disappeared instantly.

The Kingdom of Thailand is indeed a Buddhist country!

The entire Kingdom of Thailand is Buddhist.

Starting from the royal family, everyone is the same.

There is also a jade pagoda dedicated to Buddha in the Royal Palace of Thailand.

This made Monk Hongan particularly happy.

After arriving at the port of Thailand, the first thing Monk Hongan did was to visit Tang Yan.

Tang Yan was the son of the Prime Minister, and was also considered a playboy in the past.

Foguang Temple is a famous tourist attraction in Kyoto, and Tang Yan often goes there to play.

I am quite familiar with this Master Hongan.

I didn't expect that this old monk came here to spread Buddhism.

Although Tang Yan was not interested in Buddhism, he still respected Hong'an.

After all, the spirit of traveling across the ocean to preach is still very admirable.

Since they were old acquaintances, Monk Hongan was also very tactful.

Tang Yan held a grand welcome ceremony for Monk Hongan and introduced Monk Hongan to the Queen of Thailand.

The Imperial Censor Master Hongan was sitting in a carriage, communicating with local monks of Thailand while heading towards the Royal City of the Kingdom of Thailand.

The Buddhism that is popular in Thailand now is still a relatively primitive form of Buddhism.

It is the Buddhism that originated from India.

The original meaning of the sutra is rough and even contains some contradictions.

This is also normal.

The Kingdom of Thailand is a small country and not many people can read, let alone study Buddhism.

Although there are many Buddhists in Thailand, their beliefs are relatively simple.

I usually just listen to Buddhist stories and don’t really understand the meaning of the scriptures.

The same is true for the eminent monks in the Kingdom of Thailand. Since they have a noble status, who would be willing to study Buddhism?

But the monks of the Great Zhou were different.

First of all, there is the background of the conflict between Buddhism and Taoism.

Buddhism and Taoism are both trying to attract believers, so they are old enemies.

Taoism also studies Buddhist scriptures and tries to find loopholes to criticize.

Buddhism will also study Taoist scriptures and retaliate.
