When Cao Shan returned home, the first thing he did was to look for Cao Tong, and when he entered the hospital, he was already crying and shouting: "Big brother, big brother, where are you?" ”

Cao Tong was looking at the books of the gods and monsters in the study, and when he heard the shouting out of the door of the study, he was looking at a shoe print on Cao Shan's face, and asked urgently: "What's wrong with you?" ”

If you want to talk about Cao Yan, he really has a bit of a bone fairy style, his face is as white as jade, his beard under his chin is well organized, and he walks with a different kind of chic, if you really want to talk about it, Cao Tong and Bao Zheng look a little similar.

Speaking of which, many ancient dynasties also had some interesting things, under normal circumstances, people who can be big officials have appearance requirements, especially the Song Dynasty.

Emperor Huizong of the Northern Song Dynasty, even more so, there is almost no good-looking person around him, Zhao Ji of Song Huizong, will even be close to his courtiers because they are good-looking, and it is much easier for good-looking officials to enter the knighthood. This kind of atmosphere was also extremely prevalent in the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties.

Cao Tong only loves this little brother very deeply and is extremely protective of his shortcomings, no matter how bad this younger brother does, Cao Tong's lesson is a lesson, but often the first time is to think about how to help the little brother cover up.

Cao Shan wiped the blood flowing out of his nose and said: "Big brother, big brother, I really can't blame me this time, I just went out to watch a sumo wrestling, but I was bullied by the dog of the Runan County Palace...... Big brother, you must be the master for me. ”

Cao Tong, who has always been quiet and far-reaching, was furious when he heard this, and asked, "Where is the person who beat you?" And who instructed it? Outrageous. ”

Cao Shan replied: "Eldest brother, there is no one in Zhao Zongshi's eyes, he still thinks that he is the prince, and he doesn't take our Cao family in his eyes at all, and the person who beat me is a broken household outside the city, named Gan Qi." Big brother, we must be with them this time. ”

Cao Tong heard the name of "Zhao Zongshi", his face sank, and he paced left and right a few times.

Seeing this, Cao Shan hurriedly said: "It's too much to deceive people, it's too much to deceive people, big brother, look, look at me, how can I be so wronged in this life?" ”

Cao Tong looked at his younger brother, thought about it, frowned and replied: "Zhao Zongshi, Zhao Zongshi, junior brother, you first find a doctor to treat the injury, and I will go to the palace." ”

When Cao Shan heard this, he was already overjoyed, and said, "Big brother, why don't I enter the palace with you?" Let my sister see the wound on my face. ”

"No, you treat your injuries first, and I'll talk about the rest." After speaking, Cao Tong returned to the house, changed into official clothes, put on a square crown and jade belt, and went to the imperial city.

At this time, Ganqi, who had beaten someone, seemed to have put this matter behind him, and went to the city with the household registration papers.

The reason why Kaifeng Mansion will recruit people to enter the school at this time is because most students will no longer take classes in the official school after passing the examination, and will only occasionally come to ask which gentleman is a scholar. Most of the people who really study in the official school every day are still young scholars.

Now it is after the exam, and the exams have begun to prepare for the exam, so the official school will recruit people to take the exam.

After asking for directions a few times, Gan Qi found the location of the official school, the head of the official school, there is no need to Kaifeng Mansion to be much worse, and the big lion at the door is even bigger than that of the Yamen of Kaifeng Mansion. It can be seen how much importance the Song Dynasty attached to education.

There is also a certain amount of truth in it, how well the Kaifeng Mansion Yamen is repaired is not the official achievement. But cultivating the official school is very magnificent, and this is a political achievement.

Young scholars came in and out in groups, and the old professors sat in front of them, and the sound of reading aloud was crisp in their ears.

Gan Qi inquired left and right again, only then did he find the registration place, found an old scholar named Lu Song, and handed over the household registration documents.

The old scholar looked at the household register, looked up at Ganqi, and asked, "Bianliang Ganqi?" But that Gan Qi of "Qiu Lan Fu"? ”

Gan Qi first subconsciously shook his head, thought for a while, and nodded in response: "Back to the pedant, a little nickname, not enough to worry about." ”

The old scholar was overjoyed when he heard this, stood up directly from his seat, and said again and again: "Okay, good, it's good to go to school, you don't have to be so polite and polite, old man Lu Song, it is the teaching of this official school, and you should be diligent in studying in the future." ”

As he spoke, the old pedant enthroned Gan Qi and said, "Tomorrow, you can come to study tomorrow." ”

Gan Qi was a little surprised when he heard that he was going to school tomorrow, it stands to reason that if he wants to enter the official school, he must have an exam, even if there is no formal exam, there should be a test and teaching, why don't you have an exam at this time? Gan Qi also knew that he was getting a bargain, so he hurriedly saluted respectfully: "Pedant, there are still private matters in the student's family, and in the near future, I am afraid that it will be difficult to come to school every day, and please forgive the pedant." ”

If an ordinary student said so, Lu Song was afraid that his face had changed, and he would feel that this student was hopeless, what could be more important than studying? But when Gan Qi said this, Lu Song was not angry, but still smiled: "It's okay, it's okay, it's okay to come back after the incident." It's a good thing that you can enroll in school this time, and in the coming year, I will fight for another Jinshi in the boundary of Kaifeng Prefecture. ”

This is where the political achievements lie, the Great Song Dynasty attaches great importance to education, for the official side, if the level of education can be improved, a place can be a few more Jinshi, will inevitably be promoted. This is called edification.

However, since the Jin Dynasty, the difference in education between the north and the south has begun to appear, and after the Tang Dynasty and the Tang Dynasty, the difference is even greater. To put it bluntly, the southern scholars are more talented, and most of the scholars in a class are from the south. In the Ming Dynasty, there was even a scene where none of the northern scholars were middle-class, and all the Jinshi were southerners. This incident in the Ming Dynasty also contributed to the national policy of selecting people by separate examinations between the north and the south in a specific period, which was called the north-south division list.

The difference in education between the north and the south has begun to form in the Great Song Dynasty, and one place in the south of the Yangtze River, several state capitals, and even half of the country's jinshi. This is obviously not because of the gap in IQ between the North and the South, but because of historical reasons, several events in history have led to the gap between the North and the South in terms of readers.

One is the Jin Dynasty's clothes to the south, in the last years of the Western Jin Dynasty, the Yuan Emperor Sima Rui, in order to avoid the war, hundreds of thousands of scholars in the Central Plains crossed to Jiankang (Nanjing) to the south, established the Eastern Jin Dynasty, almost all the literati families in the Central Plains, all migrated south. Then there was the Anshi Rebellion of the Tang Dynasty, and a large number of scholars migrated south, which was the second time that the clothes crossed to the south.

This is the reason why the northern readers are not as good as the southern readers. Nowadays, although Bianliang City is the capital of the country, it is also located in the north, and the style of study is really not comparable to the land south of the Yangtze River, and it is even far away.

Later, after the Jingkang Revolution at the end of the Northern Song Dynasty, almost all the scholars who had regathered from all over the country in Bianliang City for many years migrated to the south. This time it was even more thorough, which directly led to the founding of the Ming Dynasty, when Zhu Yuanzhang ascended the throne and opened the examination, among the Jinshi, there was no northerner, all of them were southerners, and this incident caused a huge turmoil at that time.

It is also because of these historical reasons that Lu Song, the teacher of Kaifeng official school, will be so happy when he sees Gan Qi enrolled, and he doesn't even care if Gan Qi doesn't come to school in the near future, as if Gan Qi is here, and in the next imperial examination, there will be a sure Jinshi in Kaifeng Prefecture.

Gan Qi didn't expect the old pedant to be so talkative, and he saluted again: "Hello Pedant." ”

Lu Song looked Gan Qi up and down with a look of relief, stroked his beard and said with a smile: "It's okay, remember that the matter is dealt with, I must come to study, although the old man is shallow, but he also has some opinions, he will definitely not hide his secrets, and he will definitely teach him." ”

Gan Qi also knew that selling his reputation in the literati circle was not all bad, and the benefits were real. ”

It is a common practice to bow to the teacher, and the apprentice always has to pay tuition.

Unexpectedly, Lu Song waved his hand again and again: "You don't have to, you just take it and buy more books, pen and ink." ”

This made Gan Qi a little surprised, but he still said: "I will visit the pedant in person in the future, and I dare not be rude." ”

The two pushed and gave in, Gan Qi went home, and Lu Song was sent to the door all the way.

After Gan Qi left, Lu Song turned around happily, and said when he met someone, "Do you know who came to sign up just now?" ”

"Who?"

"Gan Qi, Bianliang Gan Qi, Gan Qi of "Qiu Lan Fu". After the old scholar finished speaking, he walked briskly inside, and said when he saw people.

In a moment, the entire official school knew that Gan Qi of "Qiu Lan Fu" had come to study, as if it was a big deal.

Only Gan Qi, who went out, seemed to remember something, and said to himself: "I still remember, Wu Chengwu eats me and learns from me, the family is so rich, why don't you have a gift of restraint?" ”
