Chapter 83: Li Ye's Difference (Second Update)
"Back to Your Highness, there are a few outstanding performances, but the problem is not small.
The third on the left in the first row, named Qin Yi'an, was originally a school student, but he had no choice but to drop out because his family could not support his studies. Later, because I heard that the students of the martial arts school not only studied for free, but also paid military salaries and exempted from taxes as officers, I applied for the academy. This Qin Yi'an was a student before, and he was relatively good in learning the art of war, but because his body was already weak, although he could keep up with his daily physical training, his performance in riding and archery was poor.
The first one on the right in the second row, named Zhong Wei, was originally an ordinary soldier of the Tiance Army. His family background is ordinary, just an ordinary peasant family in Chengdu Prefecture, but his physical fitness is good, and he ranks first in the physical fitness test every time. Some strength, a mouthful of Mo knife is good. He learned to read and write with a Confucian student in the village since he was a child, and although his literary talent is not good, he is still literate.
Sixth from the right in the second rowγγγγγγ β
Pei Rong focused on introducing 7 people to Li Ye in one breath, two of them were scholars from poor families, they were not very old, the eldest was Qin Yi'an, 20 years old, and the other was only 18 years old. There is one point, it is all because the family conditions are not good, and they are attracted by the generous treatment of the martial arts school.
Of the other five, four were soldiers of the Tiance Army, and one was a recent member of the army.
However, these seven people also represent the characteristics of these 37 people, that is, they were scholars before, and their general cultural achievements were good, but they were poor in riding and archery, wrestling, etc.; I was a soldier before, and I was good at riding and shooting, but my cultural achievements were not good.
Li Ye is not surprised by this situation, this is normal. Why the status of ancient scholars is high, not because the scholars themselves are superior, but because it is difficult to become a scholar, before the Tang Dynasty, reading was something that only rich people could do, and ordinary people should not even think about it.
In the Tang Dynasty, although this situation has changed, it is still difficult for the children of the poor family to get ahead. But even if it's a poor kid, it's much better than not having read a book.
There are people who have never read and are illiterate, but they are a minority after all. Just like in the previous life, many people on the Internet said that reading books is useless, saying that those who have not read books are better than those who have read books. There are a lot of these, but these can be mixed well without much study, either the family has the conditions, or the other abilities are very strong.
Although this is very unfair, for ordinary people, the only way you can change the status quo is by reading. If you say that you go back to be the richest man and collect all the beauties in the world, to say something that is not good, and give you the opportunity to cross, you may not necessarily do better than your contemporaries.
In ancient times, unless it was a troubled time, in other eras, if you wanted to get ahead, reading was a good choice. It's not the only way, but it's a very effective way. It's just that the conditions for reading in ancient times were not as popular as in previous lives, so there were very few readers.
Although the martial arts hall is called a school, it is considered to be joining the army in the eyes of ordinary people. In ancient times, scholars were resistant to joining the army, and under normal circumstances, as long as they were not forced to do so, few scholars were willing to join the army. So among the 37 people, less than 9 have read books, and there were originally 12 people, but 3 people left because they couldn't hold on.
When Li Ye and Pei Rong inspected, the students in the academy were practicing horseback riding, and although all the students could ride horses, their level was uneven. However, seeing Li Ye on patrol, they all cheered up and tried their best to make themselves the best they could. Li Ye also saw that these people could behave and understand, who didn't want to be appreciated by him, and then jumped into the dragon gate.
However, in his half-year school career, Li Ye did not plan to help the seedlings grow. He will give these people a chance, as long as you think you are gold, then shine so that he can see, and he will naturally notice. If you are given the opportunity and you are still willing to be with coal, then he will naturally not notice. Absolute fairness cannot exist, and he can't do it, but it can ensure relative fairness.
"Bring the king's horse!"
Looking at the students who were training to ride horses, Li Ye instructed the people next to him, and then Zhao Xiong, who was his current personal commander, that is, the commander of the Shouwang Mansion, quickly led Li Ye's batch of white horses over.
Zhao Xiong was the first to escort Princess Anhua and other clans to escape from Chang'an City and escort Princess Anhua and Princess Changning to Chengdu Yulin Army Division, after Li Hong served as the general of the Tiance Army, Li Ye asked this to come over to serve as the pawn of his palace.
Zhao Xiong has very few words, and he knows what to know and what not to know. At the beginning, Li Ye still avoided him for some things, and he didn't shy away from it later.
After the horse was brought over, Li Ye skillfully turned over on the horse, and then under the gaze of a group of school students, he quickly crossed one obstacle after another, during which he did not forget to shoot a few arrows at the arrow target, although he did not say that he hit a hundred shots, but it was also above the level, and two of the five arrows shot hit the red heart, and the other three were also close to the red heart.
After finishing the riding and shooting, Li Ye rode his horse to the front of the students and said loudly, "This king just heard that another person dropped out of school because he couldn't hold on to this training. This king just wants to say that this king is only 15 years old, and he can do better than you, why do you still have people who can't hold on?
Some people say that if you want to join the army, you should learn to ride and shoot. Please remember, this is a martial arts school, not the kind of school you know, what is cultivated here is the person who 'Wen can raise the pen to settle the world, and Wu can go to Ma Likun', not a scholar of Wen Crepe.
What about readers? There is no one among you who can compare with this king; When it comes to business, there is no one among you; Riding and shooting, this king will not be weaker than you. This prince can still do it, why can't you do it?
What this king wants is not a martial artist, nor does he want a scholar who is a scholar, if it is just these two kinds of people, why should this king not find it, why should he open this martial arts school.
This is a chance for you to be given by this king, a chance to get ahead. You are all born in a poor family, studying, you do not have the conditions for the children of a family; In the army, there are many people who compete with you, and you are cannon fodder at most. What do you do to get ahead and glorify your ancestors?
The opportunity is given to you by this king. If you can't catch it, that's your business, and don't blame the king for forcing you.
Have you seen this king's horse? This is a good horse, a horse to be exact, which was presented to His Majesty by others, and His Majesty rewarded this king. This king will put his words here first, as long as any of you get the first place in the comprehensive score of the martial arts academy, this horse will be the first reward.
Do you want this horse? β
"I want to..." Li Ye's inquiry did not get a very positive response, mainly because his way made many people unaccustomed to it, or did not believe that it was true.
"Didn't you eat?" Li Ye yelled with a dissatisfied expression, "Tell this king, do you want this horse?" β
"Yes!"
"Can you hold on?"
"Yes!"
"Good, good! You have completed the assessment, this king is waiting for your good news, this horse is first raised by this king, and I am waiting for you to take this horse.
Everyone, running ten laps around the playground and feeling that they can't hold on, can now apply to quit, the gate is over there! β
Seeing this wide playground, many people swallowed their saliva, this is a playground for practicing riding and archery, and one lap is not short, and Li Ye also asked to run ten laps. However, under the order of the instructor next to them, although these people hesitated, they all started to run in the end.
Although many people were tired in the end, they persevered in the end.
This run is outside the course, but Li Ye asked for it, it's just a big deal to adjust. However, in the evening, Li Ye did not go back to the palace to eat, but ate in the canteen of the Martial Arts Hall. The food in the martial arts hall must be better than that of the Tiance Army, this is deliberate by Li Ye, everyone is not popular in the army, everyone is equal, and the clear hierarchy can arouse the sense of honor of the soldiers.
The treatment of the Martial Arts Academy, if others are greedy, they can apply for the second phase of the Martial Arts Academy, and Li Ye wants this effect.
Seeing that Li Ye just gave a simple lecture and dined together to treat these martial arts students who had complained before, Li Yingxu knew that this Shouwang was a person who did great things. He is also more convinced that his decision is not wrong, and he will let the people of the family know that he has not done anything wrong!
