Yuan Shikai is very naughty, but he never contradicts the teacher, and he is also very well-behaved in front of the teacher, and he will come to things in particular.

For example, once, his father, Yuan Baoqing, came to check on his studies. He actually told the teacher in front of him, which frightened the teacher.

His father, Yuan Baoqing, was hindered by the teacher's affection and gave him a look, but he turned a blind eye. was very aggrieved and said that the teacher was too strict, so he couldn't stand it.

As a result, he was enlightened by his father, saying that the teacher did this for his own good. He was repeatedly told to listen to his teacher. Then he praised the teacher again.

After Yuan Baoqing left, Wang Zhiqing wanted to say something about this matter, but Yuan Shikai acted as if nothing had happened.

made Wang Zhiqing very embarrassed, as if he was being played with by such a young child.

Perhaps, he has already seen that this Yuan Shikai is not a reading material, so he often opens his eyes and closes his eyes. Although Yuan Shikai is extremely smart, this study is a mess.

When Yuan Baoqing fought against the Taiping Army and the Twist Army under his uncle Yuan Jiasan, he formed a deep fighting friendship with Ma Xinyi, who also served under Yuan Jiasan.

After pacifying the Taiping Army and the Twist Army, Ma Xinyi was promoted to the governor of Liangjiang for his outstanding military achievements.

The so-called Gou Rich and Noble Don't forget each other, you have developed a good brother who does not forget to share life and death on the battlefield, and when you have the opportunity, you have to pull the brother. As people often say, there are people in the court who are good officials. Of course, when these words came out of the mouth of the official, they became high-sounding "knowing people and being good at their duties".

Besides, those who know their roots are also relieved. In this way, Yuan Baoqing was transferred to Jiangsu by Ma Xinyi for reuse, and Yuan Shikai also followed him.

At that time, the selection of officials by the Qing Dynasty was mainly through the imperial examination. All officials or wealthy families who want their children to have a future make reading their first priority.

The greatness of the imperial examination system lies in the fact that it provides a way for all scholars in the world to climb up. Under the hierarchical feudal hierarchy, whether a person is noble or low is innate, and it is generally difficult to cross the hierarchy in front of people.

If ordinary people want to have a bright future, in addition to being born in troubled times, serving on the battlefield and exchanging their lives and blood for official positions, in normal years, taking the road of studying and becoming an official is almost the only way.

The so-called book has its own Yan Ruyu, and the book has its own golden house.

However, the road of the imperial examination is a very difficult road, and the so-called thousands of troops and horses take a single-plank bridge. For the vast majority of people, it is not unattainable, but it is almost the moon in the sky, which is out of reach.

For example, that Hong Xiuquan, if he could go through the road of the imperial examination, he would definitely not pretend to be a god and engage in any Tianping Heavenly Kingdom uprising. But a road is better than no road, and there is hope.

Yuan Baoqing was selected to lift talents to embark on a career in office, and he also earnestly hoped that Yuan Shikai would continue to follow the path he had traveled and gain fame through the imperial examination and get ahead.

After arriving in Nanjing, Yuan Baoqing specially hired two local teachers who were particularly famous for Yuan Shikai, and brought Yuan Shikai's two elder brothers, Yuan Shidun and Yuan Shilian, from their hometown to accompany him to study. I think that someone is controlling and supervising, and a few children can have a motivating effect than learning.

Looking at Yuan Shikai, the country is easy to change, and his nature is difficult to change. Let the teacher be strict with him, and if he is really disobedient, he can be corporal punishment. But can the man who controls him control his head? He was sitting there honestly, and he didn't listen to the teacher's lectures, thinking about other things, and who could do anything to him?

He is debauched by nature, pursues eating, drinking and having fun, and loves to travel in the mountains and rivers. Coming to this prosperous ancient capital of the Six Dynasties, there are so many delicious and fun places, which makes him unable to control himself.

Every chance I get, I go on a tour with some wandering teenagers. Qingliang Mountain, Mochou Lake, Yuhuatai, Jinling Rock, Taiping Lake and other famous places have become places where he often comes and goes.

People always go their own way, this Yuan Shikai can't read, but he is a superman when he learns boxing and horseback riding. No matter how strong the horse is, it will be obedient to him.

We have just talked about the greatness of the imperial examination system, but in fact, the imperial examination system also has a lot of drawbacks. When he gives a very small number of people a way to climb up, it is a disaster for the vast majority.

Because, the biggest criticism of the imperial examination system is that the vast majority of the knowledge learned by scholars under the imperial examination system is useless.

The so-called four bodies are not diligent, and the five grains are not divided, as people often say, reading is useless, and it is useless to be a scholar.

It is actually very sad for a person to spend the best time of his life reading the book of death.

Some people fail the exam twice at one time, fail three or four times twice, and even if they finally pass the exam, they will reach their twilight years. not only harmed himself, but also harmed a large family.

The purpose of the imperial examination is to select talents for the country, and such a study of death will certainly not lead to the cultivation of talents.

But we must see that these dynasties and dynasties, through the selection of the imperial examination system, have indeed selected a lot of talents, what is going on?

The reason for this is very simple, because generally speaking, a person who reads well must be a very intelligent person. is superior in reading, and in other aspects, he should also be a leader.

That is to say, it is a talent, not from reading dead books, but with good quality in itself, and learning other things quickly.

(Here, we might as well digress.) When it comes to our current college entrance examination system and the knowledge that students learn in school today, many people point out this and that drawback. We must admit that most of what these people say is right. We know that in the sixties of the last century, there was a big farce, which impassionedly raised many problems of education, and the disastrous consequence was that the universities were shut down for several years. We can even say that there is a lot of truth in the problems of the college entrance examination raised at that time. But so what? Doesn't the college entrance examination still have to be resumed! Because, in any case, the college entrance examination is the fairest when it comes to selecting people. Perhaps, relying on power and money can pass in many places unimpeded, but I am afraid it will be difficult to get to the college entrance examination here. Yes, good academic performance is not necessarily talent, but it must be admitted that, on the whole, university campuses are a collection of outstanding elements of this nation. Don't forget, in that era of urban-rural barriers, if a person wants to come out of the countryside and enter the city, the college entrance examination is almost the only way. ）

Now, let's go back to Yuan Shikai, he didn't read the book of death as his father hoped, and it may not be his luck to read to read dead. If he really followed the path of the imperial examination in a proper manner, it might be difficult for him to have later achievements. On the contrary, he traveled everywhere, pinned his affection on the landscape, had extensive contact with people and society, increased his knowledge, developed his talents, and broadened his horizons, which was more helpful for him to master real talents and practical learning.

Yuan Shikai is not good at reading, but he is very good at doing things and doing things. Father Yuan Baoqing has an aunt named Jin Yu, who is very favored by Yuan Baoqing, and is incompatible with Niu's water and fire, Yuan Shikai is sandwiched between these two people, it should be very difficult.

But Yuan Shikai coped with it at a young age, and did a lot of reconciliation and communication between the Niu family and the Jin family. The final result was that both of them liked him, and tried their best to cover up his various behaviors of not being good at reading and not doing his job properly in front of Yuan Baoqing.

Is it easy to do this? It's certainly not easy, and it requires great knowledge.

For example, at one point, Kim's maiden brother wanted to start an oil mill. The capital was not enough, so he asked his sister for help because he wanted to borrow some from Yang Baoqing. The Jin family is just this one brother, and they depend on each other for their lives, and they can't help but help with this favor. So in the evening, on the xing head of Yuan Baoqing Xingxing to do that, he blew the pillow wind.

It is generally difficult for a man not to agree to something on that occasion. After Yuan Baoqing agreed at the time, he made it difficult afterwards.

There is not much money to borrow, and Yuan Baoqing is not incapable. Why is it so hard to do? This family is naturally Yuan Baoqing's final say, is it the head of the family? But there is a problem, the family's money is in the hands of the Niu family.

Although, the Niu family is also the god of wealth, how to spend the money is up to Yuan Baoqing, but this money has to be passed by the Niu family's hands. Yuan Baoqing knew that the Niu family and the Jin family were awkward, and the Niu family would definitely not be willing to lend money to the Jin family. Yuan Baoqing also knew that if he had to borrow it, the Niu family would not dare not take it, but because of this incident, it would be so troublesome to make the family jump! However, he has already promised the Kim family, and he can't be untrustworthy.

Wouldn't it be better if you made up a lie? But Yuan Baoqing didn't use his crooked brain. After Yuan Baoqing stubbornly finished talking to Niu, Niu's became angry. This money can be borrowed and borrowed, and my own man revolves around the goblin of the Jin family every day, isn't it enough for people to return to her? I'm still worried about the family's money, and it's worth it. Besides, just talking about borrowing, when will this money be repaid? What if you can't pay it back then?

At this time, Yuan Shikai happened to be by Niu's side, and before Niu's mouth was spoken, Yuan Shikai spoke: "Daddy, I know, you have to do a lot of things first, and I'll send it to you later." ”

After speaking, he gave Yuan Baoqing a look.

Yuan Baoqing was already up and down in his heart, but when he heard Yuan Shikai say this, he saw him give himself a look, although he didn't understand what was going on? I still listened to Yuan Shikai's words and went out to wait.
