Chapter 388: The Future of the Chen Family
Newspapers made more people curious about the imperial examinations.
After all, in the past, propaganda was only word of mouth, but with the advent of newspapers, people can track all kinds of interesting stories about the imperial examination.
From the life of the examiner Yu Shinan, as well as the situation that appeared in the previous exams.
Naturally, there are some candidates who have attracted a lot of attention, there is little entertainment in this era, and it seems that this is a boring thing in the later generations, but in this Datang, it is enough to make people talk about it for ten days and half a month.
As soon as the list was released, the next day the newspaper sold wildly, and Deng Jian's articles during the exam, as well as most of his life, were also released, the front page and the second page, almost all about this, starting from his tragic life, then how to try to read and write, and then how to enter the university hall to study hard.
All of a sudden...... Make the city full of wind and rain.
There is quite a bit of Bai Juyi's poem, 'so that the hearts of parents all over the world will not be reborn male and female. 'taste.
This is said that since Yang Guifei was favored by Emperor Tang Ming, she was envied by countless people, and people lamented why she gave birth to a son, not a daughter.
In everything, the most feared thing is the example.
In the past, the sons of farmers and servants were naturally also farmers and servants, and there would not be too many people who had delusions.
But now, a Deng Jianli overwhelms the world's heroes, which has aroused the minds of many people.
Deng Jian can, why can't my children and grandchildren?
This kind of thought, like Pandora's box, once opened, the world is restless.
Originally, the textbooks issued by the Chen family were actually not received by many people, after all, although the real rich also knew that the textbooks were useful, but after all, they were distributed for free, but the paper was very poor, and the printing quality was also very poor.
And most ordinary poor people don't have enough time to work, and they are barely able to eat three meals a day, so how can they have the leisure to read books?
But now it's obviously different, and the people who go to the university hall to ask for free textbooks can be described as overcrowded!
People carry this heavy thing, as if all of a sudden, their children and grandchildren have hope, even if they are not like Deng Jian in the future, the first in high school, even if they only have the opportunity to enter the hall, or just a show talent, it is also a matter of glory to the ancestors.
The palace won the list, Li Shimin was happy, and then Li Shimin wrote an article, and then made another decree to choose a good day to see the Jinshi in person, and the officials were also ready to grant official positions to the Jinshi.
According to the meaning of the Ministry of Officials, a group of outstanding Jinshi will directly enter the Hanlin Academy, and the top three people will be directly awarded the seven grades of officials, and the rest will be temporarily awarded the eight grades, some will enter the Hanlin, and some will enter the ministries, first let them hone in the capital for a year, and then grant the actual officials, to the ministries or states in the world to fill the vacancies.
The future of Jinshi is very promising, especially those who are among the best, such as this Deng Jian, Li Shimin has already appointed him to serve in the palace.
Entering the palace to serve is a very noble thing, and his main duty is to be around the emperor with him, or to wait for the summons when the emperor approves the recital.
After all, the emperor doesn't remember everything clearly, nor does he understand everything, so if he has any questions in his heart, he has to have a special person by his side to answer them. For example, last year, was there a flood somewhere, and for example, who was the Luzhou Thorn Shi and what political achievements this person had. It is impossible for the emperor to keep in mind these small things, so he needs to ask the ministers who are waiting for the edict or who are on duty.
This requires that the ministers who follow him must be proficient in astronomy and geography, well-read and memorized, and must supplement information about the court and the states at any time, and even include countless official correspondence and wills and notes.
On the other hand, the Emperor may ask for advice on certain matters that he is uncertain about, of course...... After all, they have a humble official position, so they are just asking, and this must also require that such a minister can speak reasonably.
The emperor today is not an ordinary person, you can't fool him, and if you want to influence the emperor's thoughts, you must make sure that you really have insight.
Of course, only those who have experienced such a test can be called an important minister of the court, close to the center of power on the one hand, and on the other hand, they can be appreciated by the emperor at any time, and the future is unlimited.
At the beginning, Ma Zhou was on duty to serve, and then he arrived in the East Palace and became a scholar of Zuo Chunfang, and there were rumors that if His Royal Highness the Prince ascended the throne in the future, Ma Zhou would definitely be able to worship the prime minister.
And Deng Jian's current starting point is not lower than Ma Zhou's original beginning, as long as there are no major mistakes in the middle, then the future will never be under Ma Zhou.
Besides, although Deng Jian came from a humble background, he was a proud protégé of the Chen family after all, his classmates included Fang Xuanling and the son of the eldest grandson Wuji, and other juniors and brothers, and there were more than 60 people who were admitted to the Jinshi this time!
With such an identity, it will never be worse than the connections of the children of big families like the Wei family and the Cui family.
After all, your family has a group, but behind the family, there is the power of a school.
No matter how many old officials you have protégés, the first and second phases of the Academy, and the third phase in the future, a steady stream of disciples flock into the imperial court like a flood.
People are just going to the tactics of crowds, and they won't tell you anything about martial arts at all.
As for those who have fallen into Sun Mountain, some plan to continue to take the exam again, and some people are disheartened, after all, ...... So many juniors and juniors are all in high school, but he is the only one who is famous in Sun Shan, and it is inevitable that he will be depressed, so he simply does not take the exam again!
However, most of them have the status of lifting people, and most of them stay in the school, teach in the school, or enter the teaching and research group, or enter the teaching group!
This research group is also a good place, in this school, the salary is good, they have been studying here before, so they have long been used to the atmosphere in the school, anyway...... Not only does you have a good salary, but also housing, and the Chen family is also ready for you, and when you go out, others will be especially favored when they hear that you are a gentleman in the university hall.
Chen Zhengtai finally breathed a sigh of air at this moment, and the first batch of students finally came out, so he personally met this batch of high school jinshi, and the good students comforted him, and the disciples were grateful to Dade.
Chen Zhengtai didn't say anything long-winded, only talked about some things like everyone should be united, and then let them go.
It's just that the third uncle was outside to probe his brain, and when he was gone, he came in happily and said happily: "I just saw those students, one by one, full of tears, the old man is really moved, they have a conscience, and now that they are officials, they will not forget their roots." ”
Chen Zhengtai stood up and said, "That's what my uncle said." ”
The third uncle said, "It's just ...... People have been taught, and in the future, just let them come and worship once in a while? ”
Chen Zhengtai immediately woke up to the fact that the third uncle must have something to say, so he said: "What, what advice does the third uncle have?" ”
"I can't talk about advice." The third uncle said happily: "It's just that they have entered the office, Zhengtai, you also have to think about it, there are a lot of Jinshi here, and the family background is not good, if our Chen family does not help them, they will suffer losses in the career in the future, who else can they find?" The old man thought about it, since we have taught people, we have to be responsible for people, which is like if you marry a daughter-in-law and enter the house, and then leave people in the room and keep the boudoir alone......"
Chen Zhengtai: "......"
Well, Chen Zhengtai thinks the third uncle's explanation is good......
The third uncle coughed: "So, the old man thinks that it is good to set a day with them every month, occasionally come out to sit together, have a light meal, or have some wine and chat together." In addition, there are some things that need to be ventilated in advance, and when it comes to the New Year's holidays, they still need to come to visit. Our Chen family doesn't matter, but it's rare to let them come together, isn't it just to let them be in the same door, and there are multiple opportunities to enhance the friendship of each other? ”
In fact, what the third uncle has said is very vague.
But when Chen Zhengtai heard this, his body shook suddenly, and he subconsciously said: "Party whip?"
"What...... What the? The third uncle looked at Chen Zhengtai in confusion.
But Chen Zhengtai looked at the third uncle strangely, and had to say, this third uncle is really a fucking talent.
The concept of the so-called party whip is actually used to unite the same party, after all, people are officials, how do you restrain them? How do you make sure they're able to work in one direction?
No matter how good the relationship is, after a long time, it may slowly fade away, and it may be like-minded people at the beginning, but after ten or twenty years, can it continue to maintain its original intention?
At this time, in this group, the role of the party whip appeared, and this person called the party whip was responsible for liaising with everyone, not only for bringing everyone together, but also for ensuring that everyone could be unanimous to the outside world!
And that person has to stand behind the scenes, using emotions, interests, visions, and everything else to keep everyone together.
Although the third uncle didn't say it explicitly, he actually ...... That's what he wanted to achieve.
It is necessary to unite all the people who have entered the office, so that everyone can gather firewood in the future! Pushing more students to a high position can also enable the Chen family to seek a more stable position with the help of this.
It's just that...... If this is done, then there may be a problem of party formation.
But...... It seems that in the Tang Dynasty, forming a party is not a heinous thing, the most intuitive is the Niu Li party dispute during the Tang Dynasty.
But Chen Zhengtai was still a little hesitant in his heart, did he really want to do this?
"Zhengtai." The third uncle also seemed to see Chen Zhengtai's doubts, so he looked at Chen Zhengtai very seriously and said: "It's all up to this, our Chen family has cultivated so many talents, if you let these people go, then what can these people do if they get your teaching?" What you don't fight for, others will fight for, and when others occupy a high position, you want to suppress the disciples of the university hall, and you want to fight back, and then it will be in vain. ”
"In the world, it is nothing more than a sharp word, using your knowledge and hope to gather people around you. Then use the interests to drive them to serve them, and the future will ...... In private, the Chen family can take advantage of this to soar and flourish for a hundred years. Kilometers to the point, since you think what the Chen family is doing now is right, then...... Why not use these protégés to do more things you didn't dare to do before? You know...... What does the old man mean? ”
"How do you connect, and how do you drive each other?" Chen Zhengtai looked at the third uncle.
The third uncle seemed to have thought about it a long time ago, so he said: "There has to be someone who specializes in handling this matter, and I will take a break every month, make sure that everyone comes to visit first, and then prepare a banquet." Matters between the DPRK and China can be discussed in private. For Your Majesty, at least this is not a big deal now, Your Majesty originally wanted to use the Jinshi of the imperial examination to suppress the arrogance of the world, they are weak, and the Chen family is outstanding, there is nothing to do. It's really not possible, in this banquet, you can ask the prince to come forward. ”
Chen Zhengtai really admired the third uncle's ability in this kind of thing, he listened carefully, remembered them one by one in his heart, and said, "What else?" ”
The third uncle continued: "There are rewards and punishments, but they are only temporary, and this reward and punishment is not easy to do, so let's hold people's hearts first." ”
Chen Zhengtai smiled bitterly: "This, I'll think about it again." ”
Of course, Chen Zhengtai knows what party struggle means, but in fact, it ...... When so many people from the university hall enter the office, at some point, the Chen family may be pushed to that step, after all...... With so many jinshi, they need a future, they need classmates as connections, and they also need a big tree like the Chen family to enjoy the shade.
In the same way, once there are more and more jinshi entering the university hall, will those families who rely on blood tie-ins be willing? Either they join in, or they will also huddle together and adopt a suppressive attitude towards the Jinshi who enter the ranks.
At this time, in fact, the Chen family can't help it.
The third uncle has really lived very clearly in his life, and he is afraid that he has already thought through this issue.
Chen Zhengtai found that many times, in front of the third uncle, he was still like an immature child, if it weren't for the advantage of the traverser, I was afraid that he wouldn't even be worthy of lifting shoes for him.
The third uncle glanced at Chen Zhengtai deeply, and then said: "These things, the old man arranged them first, you don't have to make up your mind in a hurry, as long as the people's hearts are still maintained, when you think about it, it will be just a matter of one sentence." Don't worry, the old man may not be able to do other things well, but dealing with people, this is what he is good at, it's just ...... The old man can't come alone, he has to send another deputy, the old man is old, he may return to the west at any time, and in the future, these things will have to be done by the young and strong, it is better to ...... Just let your father Zhishi, he is not keen on officialdom, so simply let him come back to the house, the old man will be at the helm, he will do the details, and when the old man can't move in the future, let your father take charge again, and there will be no impact at that time. ”
