Volume 3 Chapter 200 The Seven Sons of the Yang Sect
On the edge of Yuyuan Pond, in the Yangfu Garden, the well-behaved maid is still carefully caring for the transplanted exotic flowers and plants, but Zhang Zhen and Lu Ling'er have already played around in the newly built pavilion and water pavilion.
The scenery here is really good, the lakes and mountains are beautiful, and I don't know how many times better than the houses all over the capital city, so that Zhang Zhen and Lu Linger are a little forgetful.
Yang Cong was also in the garden, but he didn't have time to enjoy the beautiful scenery, he was holding a bunch of rosters and quickly flipping through them.
Although he has a little impression of the famous ministers in the later period of Jiajing, he also has to find out the specific place of origin of the person, otherwise, he will report his name casually, in case there is a person with the same name and surname, it will not be a joke.
This is really not a joke, there are many people with the same name and surname these years, and he even saw "big celebrities" like Xu Guangqi and Li Rusong in the list of people provided by the Ministry of Rites.
Of course, he knew that these two were definitely not the two who left their names in the history of Qing, because those two were both from the Apocalypse and Chongzhen Dynasty, and this was the Jiajing Dynasty, and they would live to the Apocalypse and Chongzhen Dynasty, at least more than a hundred years old!
At this time, he realized that he was really a little too big, more than a hundred thick lists were really not a joke, and the dense names and profiles on it made his eyes sour, even if he just swept it over, then he had to sweep it, more than a hundred books, and the hands of people who could turn it over were sour.
Fortunately, his hard work is not without gain, and he has found a lot of real celebrities in these lists.
For example, Zhang Juzheng, a Weiren of Jingzhou, Huguang, has a military household registration, and was raised in the seventeenth year of Jiajing, which is less than twenty at this time.
This guy is really powerful, he was admitted to Xiucai at the age of twelve, and he was promoted at the age of seventeen, and he is simply a prodigy.
He must accept this disciple, this guy is a famous minister of Wanli Zhongxing, in terms of talent, it is the number one in the entire history of the Ming Dynasty.
For another example, Tan Lun, a native of Yihuang, Jiangxi, a farmer's child, was raised in the fourteenth year of Jiajing, and he was only in his twenties at this time.
This guy is a rare handsome talent, although he was born as a Jinshi, he is as famous as Yu Dayou, Qi Jiguang and other famous generals in history, it can be described as a martial arts, proficient in everything, this kind of disciple naturally can't be missed.
The other is Hai Rui, a native of Qiongzhou, Guangdong, and a military household register, whose ancestor Hai Xunzi was the commander of the Guangzhou Guard of the Hongwu Dynasty.
Needless to say, this is a famous Qing official in history, and it is absolutely useful to deal with Yan Song, a big corrupt official.
However, this guy doesn't seem to have very good grades, and he's in his twenties at this time, and he's just a showman.
It seems a bit exaggerated to accept a Xiucai as a disciple, but it doesn't matter, as long as there is a foundation, Yang Cong just crossed the Houke Tongsheng level, and in the end, he was not the top student in high school with his self-created imperial examination cheats.
In this pile of lists, Yang Cong even found an acquaintance, this person is Shen Lian, the Jinyi Wei Qianhu who has been protecting him all the time.
This Shen Lian is not simple, he has already been promoted in the thirteenth year of Jiajing, but he followed Lu Bing, served in Jinyiwei, and followed him Shanxi, Nanzhili, Fujian, and Guangdong to run around, and Shengsheng delayed the imperial examination.
After he turned to Shen Lian's name, even if he went to consult Shen Lian himself, of course Shen Lian still wanted to continue to take the imperial examination, after all, civil officials are much more popular than military generals in these years, and Jinyi Wei Qianhu just sounds more scary, and the actual power is not as big as a county.
Yang Cong is rummaging through the directory, and Wang Xuan, Tang Shunzhi and others are also rummaging through the directory, because they also want to recruit a group of disciples and pass on their skills.
However, their focus is not the same as Yang Cong's.
Yang Cong recruited students mainly for the title of the gold list, and the responsibility for promoting "The Principle of Knowing Things" was mainly on Wang Xuan and Tang Shunzhi.
Therefore, they are basically looking for the kind of talents whose families are relatively poor and have repeatedly failed to succeed, especially military households and artisan households.
These people, if nothing else, are basically deserted.
Because there are too many scholars in these years, but there are only so many officials registered in the imperial court, and in addition to lifting people and showing talents, there are also people with special identities such as Yin Sheng, Liao Sheng, and prison students, most of them have deep backgrounds, and these people are basically given priority when sending officials.
If Xiucai can't enter the yamen as an official or a small official, it is basically not much different from ordinary people, and if there is a way, you can get dozens of acres of tax-free land and live a life of food and clothing, there is nothing you can do, then you can only be like ordinary people, running around every day for life, especially those who have repeatedly tried and failed, almost all of them are in debt because they spend too much time to catch the exam, and the poor one is called a jingle bell.
If these people can go to the School of Physics for further study, it will be very different from other talents, not to mention anything else, just rely on Yang Cong's connections and industry, as long as they really succeed in learning, it is not a problem to earn a dozen taels or even dozens of taels a month.
As soon as this generous condition was released, those impoverished talents naturally flocked to it, and even many talents and people from Shuntianfu and Beizhili came after hearing the news, and the threshold of the School of Physics was really almost broken.
Yang Cong originally prepared astronomy, geography, equipment, art of war, etc., each class was in charge of Tang Shunzhi, Luo Hongxian, Zhao Shichun and others, and the five elements were divided into five classes, with Wang Xuan in charge of co-ordination, Xue Nantang, Li Du and others in charge of assisting, adding up to a total of ten classes, about four or five hundred people.
As a result, there were thousands of students who came to apply, which made Wang Xuan and Tang Shunzhi very difficult.
This is because of the students he brings, after all, it can be said that it is difficult to take the Jinshi exam this year, even if there are people in the seven sons of Yangmen who have not been admitted, he estimates that it is good to be able to bring out five or six Jinshi.
If he also lets go of the move, it is estimated that many people will come over, after all, his name as the champion is not covered, and the examination is held in the capital, so he can enter the School of Physics to study, and he can avoid the pain of rushing for the exam.
Although the news of his recruitment of students did not appear in the notice of the School of Physics, there were many people who knew about it, and many officials of the DPRK and China recommended him, and among these people he even asked him to "find" two "talents."
This first one is Qi Jingtong's son Qi Jiguang, when he was in Shanxi, he once joked with Qi Jingtong that he wanted to accept his son as an apprentice, at that time, because Qi Jiguang and Qi Jimei were both young, and Qi Jingtong was not very familiar with Yang Cong at that time, so Qi Jingtong politely refused.
At this time, Qi Jiguang was already an adult, and when Qi Jingtong heard the news that Yang Cong was recruiting a protégé, he naturally hurriedly sent a request for eight hundred miles, begging Yang Cong to accept his son.
These other people can not accept it, and the famous general Qi Jiguang naturally can't accept it, even if he is just a child at this time, then he has to accept it.
This second one was recommended by Zhan Ruoshui, a big man in Yangming, Li Chunfang, a native of Xinghua, Yangzhou.
To be honest, Yang Cong didn't have any impression of this Li Chunfang, but because it was recommended by Zhan Ruoshui and he personally inspected it, this person's talent is indeed outstanding, and the title of the gold list is definitely not a problem.
So, he accepted it.
There is another one that is more strange, this person actually came to the door to ask for help, and he was begging for life, saying that he had to worship Yang Cong as a teacher.
The reason given by this person is also quite strange, just because Yang Cong and Yan Song are opposites, he thinks that worshipping Yang Cong as a teacher has the opportunity to clean up Yan Song!
In fact, this person Yang Cong also has a little impression, because this person is the famous "No. 1 Iron Man of the Ming Dynasty" in history, Yang Jisheng, who took his life to knock Yan Song to death.
This stunned Qing happened to be from Rongcheng, Beizhili, and he didn't know where he received the news, but as soon as he heard that Yang Cong was recruiting protégés, he came to the door by himself.
Yang Cong thought about it again and again, but decided to accept it, after all, when the time comes, he is really ready to meet Yan Song shirtless, and someone has to take the lead in impeachment, and Yang Jisheng, a stunned young man who is not afraid of death, is the most suitable candidate.
In this way, Zhang Juzheng, Hai Rui, Tan Lun, Qi Jiguang, Shen Lian, Li Chunfang, and Yang Jisheng add up to exactly seven, and Wang Yangming's disciples also have the "Seven Sons of Yangmen", can the "Seven Sons of Yangmen" recruited by Yang Cong finally be as famous as the "Seven Sons of Yangmen"?
This, don't think about it, that's for sure, after all, almost all the people recruited by Yang Cong have passed the test of history, and they are truly handsome.
