In the first month of the tenth year of Zhenguan, after the Lantern Festival, hundreds of officials went to court.
His Majesty the Emperor ordered twenty pairs of boots to be awarded to the ministers who had made the most contributions to the court over the years.
These boots are rubber-soled leather boots.
At first, many people sent their servants to Lishi County, but they could not buy a pair for themselves.
Now they have become a reward from His Majesty the Emperor, so some people privately talked about it, Naluo Sanlang The reason why I refuse to sell my boots is because I am waiting for this day.
Many people disagreed with Luo Yong's argument that he wanted his disciples to put on boots first.
Most of Luo Sanlang's disciples were from poor backgrounds.
Instead of giving them boots, it would be more practical to sell them and give them money.
"I think you think too much."
Some people don't see it that way.
"What do you think?"
asked a few people nearby.
At this time, they were on their way to the next court, and a group of people were talking as they walked.
"I heard an old friend write a letter saying that the disciples of Luo Sanlang were very honored to be able to put on these boots first, and they did not feel humble when they were face to face with the children of the gentry who went to study."
This person has a high position.
The powerful veteran said to several of his colleagues.
"It's just a pair of leather boots, but it can bring them such glory."
Someone said disapprovingly, and there was a bit of ridicule in these words.
"Why not?"
the old minister said with a smile: "The gentry children have it, but they don't have it, but they have it, and the gentry children don't have it either."
"I see that Narosaburo acted like this in order to show the identity of his disciples," someone else said on the other side.
"I don't know."
Another person next to him shook his head: "But what he did this time killed two birds with one stone."
On the one hand, he won over people's hearts, and on the other hand, he pleased the person above him.
However, there was no need to say this clearly.
Everyone present knew it. bright.
If Luo Sanlang opened his rubber-soled leather boots for sale, even if the output was not large, the important officials in the court would either send people to buy them themselves, or have others buy them as gifts, and they would all be wearing them by now.
Today There is no way to talk about this reward.
Things are rare and valuable, no matter how many twists and turns they have in their stomachs, the twenty ministers who got the boots today are always happy in their hearts.
"The method is a good one, but it only hurts money."
A minister said.
"With the five hundred copper coins he got earlier, I think he won't be short of money for a while."
Another person said with a smile.
"I heard that there is not even a serious servant in Naluo Sanlang's family, so how much money can he spend?"
"That's right.
Earning so much money means being remembered for nothing." "" As the group walked, they talked about what Luo Yong said about the slave trade in Xipo Village, but no one mentioned it.
These ministers do not have slaves in their families.
In this era, people are born into three, six or nine grades.
The scholar-official class enjoys various privileges and also takes the common people of the world as their own responsibility.
This is taken for granted by many people.
Even many civilians and even lowly people think so.
Although Luo Yong's few words can bring reflection to some people, it is not so easy to change the current social situation.
In the afternoon of the same day, Tang Jian and a friend of his were sitting in the mansion drinking tea.
During the dinner, the two also talked about the boots given by the saint today, and then also talked about Luo Yong and the new arithmetic method he was currently teaching.
"Naluo Sanlang said that he learned arithmetic from a Hu merchant.

What does Tang Weng think?"
"What does Chen Weng think?"
The two old friends seemed to be going back and forth politely, but in fact they were teasing each other about how old they were.
In fact, they were both only in their fifties.
"I think it may not be true."
Then Mr.
Chen said.
"If he didn't learn it from that Hu Shang, where could he learn it from?"
Mr.
Tang shook his head.
"I don't know."
Old Chen also shook his head.
"No matter where he learned it, this arithmetic method will be of benefit to the world."
Mr.
Tang said.
"What does Mr.
Tang think of Sanlang?"
Chen Laoer asked again. "" Mr.
Tang took a sip of hot tea and said, "It's a bit different after all."
"How is it different?"
Chen Laoer immediately asked.
"That little baby has its own heaven and earth in its heart, and its own jade in its belly.
As far as it can see, you and I are afraid that we can't catch up with each other.
How can such a person be the same as us?"
Tang Jian was full of praise for Luo Sanlang. .
"Such a compliment."
Old Chen said in surprise, "Could it be that he gave you something good again this time?"
"It's just a few lambs."
Tang Jian laughed at himself.
Of course Luo Yong didn't give him a lamb, it was just a joke.
Everyone in Chang'an city didn't know that Tang Jian was demoted because he had a few lambs.
"You guys, I told you not to mention this matter all day long, for fear that the higher-ups might hear it and think you are dissatisfied."
His friend advised.
"You see, my heart is very full."
He was obviously dissatisfied.
"Don't talk about this anymore, let's have tea."
If this topic continues, it will not be of any benefit to either of them.
How can people like them not understand that walls have ears?
"Na Luo Sanlang, is it really as good as you said?"
After taking a few sips of hot tea, his friend asked again.
"If you don't believe it, go and see for yourself."
Tang Jian said.
"I do plan to go and have a look."
His old friend sighed: "Hui Ji will be injured."
If he doesn't go now, he doesn't know if there will be a chance in the future.

Tang Jian was silent, and then said to his old friend: "When I was in Xipo Village, I heard Na Luo Sanlang mention a friend of his, who is now studying at Four Schools, named Qiao Junlin." "" His old friend drank tea in silence and said nothing.
"That boy seems to want to complement your academic skills."
Tang Jian said bluntly.
"You also know that this is not easy."
There are many people who want to supplement the Imperial Academy.
In addition to the excellence of the students themselves, the strength of the family behind them is also an important consideration.
That Qiao Junlin, I heard, does not have a family background.
He wants to supplement Imperial College is easier said than done.
Even the best students among the four subjects may not necessarily be able to get into Imperial College.
"I sent someone to inquire about it.
That boy's performance among the four subjects is also at the top.
You are not working in the Imperial Academy."
After all, he had promised Luo Yong before, and Tang Jian never thought about defaulting on the debt.
Regarding Qiao Junlin's replacement as Taixue If you want to learn something, he will definitely contribute.
Thinking back then, he had the emperor's mandate and could not stay in Xipo Village for a long time.
He pestered Luo Yong all day long to teach him arithmetic.
The boy never complained.
In addition to normal daily teaching, he also gave him many small tricks in private. , He, Tang Jian, is not someone who burns bridges when crossing rivers.
He has always been thinking about this matter.
"So what if I serve in Imperial College?
After all, I am someone who is understated.
I can't compare to those students in the school."
This is what it is like to work in a school like Guozi Xuedaxue.
Many students have better family backgrounds than teachers like them.
Although they have only studied in the school for a few years, they often have more say than them.
Be a teacher.
"Today is different from the past."
Tang Jian also sighed.
His old friend also had a lot of sadness.
This is the case in this era.
No matter how prosperous an individual is, it is often not as good as a profound family background.
Those people are even the court officials.
The Ninth Five Emperors above him are not looked down upon, and one or two court officials are nothing.
But having said that, his old friend has accumulated some experience after being around for so many years.
If nothing else, it is not too difficult to get a place at the Imperial Academy.
Although it is not easy to get along with those nobles, he is still a teacher after all.
After all these years, he has taught so many students, how can he still be in the same situation as before?
"Let me take another look."
Chen Weng finally said.
After listening to Tang Jian's words just now, it seemed that Luo Sanlang was really extraordinary.
If she wanted to make friends with him, she might as well help him.
Since he could mention this matter to Tang Jian, he must have thought highly of his friend.
Luo Yong, who was far away in Xipo Village, didn't know at this time that Tang Jian had already done the thing he had asked Tang Jian to do for him.
He didn't even know that he had been given a Hui Ji that would definitely hurt him and that he might die young. label.
Unfortunately, he is really not smart enough to lose his life span.

Speaking of being smart, the few Chang'an teenagers who just arrived recently are quite smart.
It only took a short time to basically catch up with their courses.
Although compared with others, their foundation is still a bit weak, but At least it no longer feels like I'm listening to a book from heaven when I'm listening to a class.
The teenagers were very proud.
They looked at Luo Yong with a hint of self-evident pride.
Look, your Laushizi arithmetic method is not that difficult.
Yeah, I figured it out in a few days. .
Luo Coffin Ban'er smiled and said nothing, "Where are you now?
After learning Aix, we still have crookedness, after learning algebra, we still have geometry, and after learning mathematics, we still have physics and chemistry."
The young people still know nothing about their long and dark path to study, and they are very proud of this small progress.
After class that day, several young people rode horses together for a walk.
When they passed the glue-making workshop, they saw Luo Siniang squatting alone by the sink watching the workers washing Eucommia gum, and they began to tease her.
"Hey, Luo Si."
Bai Yimao took the lead and shouted.
"What are you doing?"
Si Niang looked back at them first, then she stood up leisurely, turned around and stood facing these people, swinging the knife in her hand every now and then, this knife she It’s been almost a year since I started playing, and now that I’m playing it again, it’s no longer as awkward as it used to be.
""The six proud young men were instantly frightened into six idiots.
