Transmigrated into a female county magistrate during a famine, leading her country to prosperity

Chapter 479: Shen Zheng is proficient in poetry and songs

"Biography" is just a pretense, and the audience are this person's followers. To put it bluntly, it is up to them to buy or not, and to read or not.

"Academic Training" is the foundation of learning. Any student who wants to study here, or any family who wants to send their children to study here, will understand the academic training in advance.

And one more thing...

If she remembered correctly, the school motto was to be memorized by the students in its entirety, right?

How do I memorize this?

Shen Zheng's face wrinkled into a ball, and she looked at Li Hongmao: "No, this "School Training" is not good, it needs to be changed. If you must bring someone, then bring the uncle. The county school was originally written by the uncle."

"What do you mean?" Yu Shizhang looked over and said in feigned anger, "You throw the things you don't want to me? So I should follow you and pick up the things you don't want!"

Shen Zheng's scalp tightened when she met his complicated gaze.

She was just talking, why was he so sensitive?

Could it be...

Shen Zheng is blessed as she wished, but there is only one truth...!

That is, Yu Shizhang actually envied her! But he was too embarrassed to compete with her, a junior, nor was he too embarrassed to say it out loud!

"I told you not to look at it." Yu Shizhang saw that she looked upset, so he tried to make excuses for himself, "You have to look at it, and then you make a scene. Why bother? You might as well go to your yard with Benbo, and we can talk about it."

"What you said..."

Shen Zheng pointed to a paragraph on the school motto and read it aloud: "County Magistrate Shen Zheng is not only knowledgeable, well-informed, and well-informed, but her moral character is also admirable. She is like a beacon in the fog, guiding countless students..."

She really couldn't read on any longer and even wanted to pretend to faint.

Before, she had never realized that Li Hongmao and others were so... thoughtful.

How is this different from the bureaucracy of previous lives?

To put it simply, before new employees join the company, they have to memorize the chairman’s beautified life experience and “famous quotes” to promote corporate culture.

To put it in a broader sense, when you first enter officialdom, you have to flatter your big boss as much as possible. You even have to know by heart how many people are in his family, where his wife gets her beauty treatment, how his mother is in health, and so on, so that you can give the smaller leader a spanking.

"County Magistrate Shen Zheng is patriotic, concerned about the people, benevolent and kind. All students should listen to his teachings, just like seedlings looking forward to the rain, and should not disobey him." Diwu Tanwei seemed to think that the mess was not messy enough, and began to read to the straw paper in Shen Zheng's hand.

"Mo Nian!" Shen Zheng turned her hand over and left her with the back of the paper, "Why are you messing around with me......"

Diwu Tanwei looked innocent and said, "I think it is well written and correct. It can be used as a motto for the county school."

She spoke so sincerely and earnestly that Shen Zheng didn't know how to refute her for a moment.

"Master Zhubu is right!"

Seeing that Yu Shizhang and the others were on their side, the students became bolder: "Sir, if it weren't for you, there wouldn't be the Tongan County School today. Your words and deeds have benefited the students profoundly, so it's reasonable to have you as a role model in academic training."

"That's right! Sir, please don't feel bad about it. This is all the students' wishes. The headmaster also said that in the future, there will be many students from other counties coming to study in our county school. If they don't know about your deeds and character, how can they become a part of our county school and study in the county school?"

——How can you get the job if you can’t flatter your boss accurately?

Shen Zheng didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Our Tongan County School is not a pyramid scheme organization, why is it like this?"

“What is a pyramid scheme?”

"It's to brainwash others and get them to join us."

"This is not brainwashing, it's just being realistic."

Seek truth from facts?

Shen Zheng flipped the paper over again, pointed at it and said, "'Students of Tongan County should study history and classics, and should not stop at a superficial level... small steps lead to a thousand miles, and small streams merge to form rivers and seas.' The words after this paragraph are indeed realistic and seem to be a bit of a lesson, but look at how much space is occupied after this paragraph?"

She pulled out the piece of straw paper and swung it in the air.

The straw paper made a rustling sound in her hands, and Shen Zheng pointed to the small words in the lower right corner and said, "Page 4!"

The students buried their heads again.

"Only the fourth page is a serious academic training! The first three pages have been used to describe me at length, how talented and knowledgeable I am, how noble my character is, and how I love the people and the country. It's really unnecessary..."

"And are some of these descriptions of me fabricated?"

High literary attainments?

Are you proficient in poetry, songs and prose?

Having gone through many setbacks and hardships, but never giving up easily?

"Especially the part about 'being proficient in poetry and songs'! Can any of you recite a line of poetry written by me? So even if you write it like this, and it reaches the ears of others, or is passed down to future generations..."

Shen Zheng gave them an example: "When future generations see this, they will wonder - Shen Zheng is proficient in everything? Where are the poems? Where are the lyrics? Where are the songs? When they flip through the ancient books, they can't find a single line of poetry. Aren't you trying to embarrass me in front of future generations? By then, my coffin might even be broken open by someone else."

If she wanted to become famous through poetry, which of those Tang and Song poems that she had memorized since childhood were not works of famous poets? Which one would not be passed down through the ages?

Being a plagiarist, you have everything on the surface.

But what about her inner self?

She is still the Shen Zheng who couldn't compose a quatrain after a long time. Stolen things are stolen after all, unless there are special circumstances - for the sake of Da Zhou, she has to slap another country in the face.

So even if she copied those famous quatrains, what would happen? If those famous writers were really in the same world as her, would they not be able to write something new?

Impossible.

What they have is not a fixed poem, but talent.

Just like Li Bai could not write "Farewell to Meng Haoran to Guangling", but he could write "Farewell to Wang Haoran to Guangling", "Farewell to Li Haoran to Guangling" and "Farewell to Liu Haoran to Guangling".

He didn't even have to send Haoran to Guangling.

He can send whomever he wants and wherever he wants.

Seeing her speak passionately, Yu Shizhang coughed lightly and said, "Don't blame them. People who have left a good reputation for generations have all been gilded to some extent..."

——If the people involved are to feel comfortable and future generations are to admire them, then these records have to have some extra content. This is something that everyone agrees on.

"Why are you also included..." Shen Zheng was helpless and decided to throw in the towel: "Then let them write you up together with me, and write you up as the best in the world, a rare earl in a thousand years."

"You little girl... what do you mean by 'there is nothing like it in heaven and on earth, and it's rare to see it once in a million years'? What kind of thing is Benbo?"

Yu Shizhang had thought about being written about, but he had never thought about being written about like this.
