Why are the children of the family better than those who have been tested from the grassroots peasants?

Not only because the family monopolized knowledge before, but also because the children of the family can spend more time on reading without worrying about food and clothing, in fact, Lin Liu feels that the biggest reason is because of the words and deeds of the old people in the family, after all, even the family may not be able to produce geniuses from generation to generation, Lin Ruhai is BUG and cannot use him as a standard.

And after Lin Liu arrived in this era, he found that there was a misunderstanding in later generations that the "Hanmen" and "Shu people" were ordinary people, but in fact, this was a big mistake. The "cold family" should be a down-and-out and lonely family, and the "Shu people" should be landlords and nouveau riche, and the real ordinary people who eat chaff and vegetables in the loess are still grass mustard in this era, and they can't counterattack like a certain novel, unless there is a golden finger against the sky.

It's simple, just settle an account.

Let's talk about the road of scientific research first.

Although there was already movable type printing and improved papermaking in this era, many books could be bought, but you didn't need money to buy books! According to Lin Liu's understanding, the books for the imperial examination are more expensive, and any one of the Four Books and Five Classics is two or two, and there are not only nine of the Four Books and Five Classics, but there are thirteen books. Before the imperial examination township examination, you can memorize the exam, but when you get to the township examination, the difficulty will be suddenly deepened, and then it will be a history book, Tang poetry, Song Ci, etc.

If you don't read history books, how do you know those allusions, those idioms, and those events? If you don't read Tang and Song poems, how do you know how to compose poems and inscriptions?

This is a compulsory content for the imperial examination in the future, and it must be read.

There are also other miscellaneous books that are messy, such as "Notes on the Book of Water", "Xunzi", "Confucius Collection", "Yanzi Spring and Autumn", "Lü's Spring and Autumn", "Jia Yi's New Book", "Spring and Autumn Dew", "Yangtze Fayan", ...... Without a few hundred taels of silver, you can't buy it at all.

In addition, Lin Liu believes that the vast majority of people are not geniuses, and buying them does not mean that they can, so you have to consult the master, otherwise you will just memorize by rote.

Of course, some people think that it costs less to go to a private school to study, but on the surface, it is indeed less expensive than inviting a master to come to their home to teach them alone.

But in fact, this is not a lot of money, because in addition to paying tuition fees, books, and food, the private school also has a large amount of money - banquets.

Like modern people who think about the festival all day long, and invented the "Singles' Day" and "Girls' Day" without a serious festival, the ancient scholars also looked forward to the festival, and they couldn't invent the festival without the festival, so they found an excuse to make a banquet, what a flower viewing banquet, a moon viewing banquet...... Are you embarrassed that someone else pays you every time? Not everyone can be so lucky to meet the wrongdoer.

Don't say no, it's a great time to expand your network and play and rest, and most people won't say no.

This is only the books required for the entrance examination, not counting the pen, ink, paper, inkstone, and those extra piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, etc., such an expense is definitely not something that a loess ordinary family can afford, at least a small landlord family.

The father and son in "Hurt Zhongyong" were ridiculed by the world, but how many people can understand the bitterness in it, the Fang family has been farmers for generations, where is there spare money for Fang Zhongyong to study by farming alone, he can only let him go out to sell his literary talents, on the one hand, he is making money, and on the other hand, he also wants to be able to enter the eyes of some nobles with his literary talents, and can be helped by nobles to soar in the future. But how could the Fang family understand the minds of those nobles, it was too late for them to strangle a genius like Fang Zhongyong, how could they take the initiative to pull him, after all, if Fang Zhongyong really grew up, the white-eyed wolf would not explain that he would occupy an official position in the court, who would be happy, naturally he wished that Fang Zhongyong would be an honest peasant exploited by them all his life.

The author Wang Anshi is just standing and talking without backache, because he was born in a family of eunuchs, and he can't understand the sorrow of the peasants in this era at all.

As for those who take the martial path.

If you want to be a cannon fodder-like creep, it is indeed low-cost, as long as you don't lack arms and legs. But if you want to go from a soldier to a general, it's not so easy.

First of all, you must have a strong body, but this strong body cannot be born by most people, and can only be cultivated. Since it is to be cultivated, martial arts, the art of war or something, like the imperial examination, are all big items that cost money, and there is not much to say about the well-known things, but the body does not have enough protein and nutrition to keep up, how can you have a strong body? Therefore, you must eat meat, and you have to eat meat frequently, and it is good for ordinary people to eat meat when they save energy, where is the capital to eat meat frequently!

Don't take Wei Qing, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Gan Ning, Xue Rengui and the like as examples.

Wei Qing did suffer when he was a child, and he was the son of a human slave and a sheep herding baby, but after he and her sister Wei Zifu recognized each other, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty spent a lot of effort to cultivate him, not only found a famous teacher, but also opened the central library of the Han Dynasty to him, and many books that could not be owned by outside families were open to him; Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were both born landlords, otherwise how could ordinary people be literate in the era of the Three Kingdoms; Gan Ning is indeed a Jinfan thief, but he is the eldest son heir of the Gan family, a big clan in Shu County, while being a water thief, Shuzhong also reserved his official position as the county governor of Shu County, and the regular naval army along the Yangtze River still has to avoid his bullish existence; Xue Rengui did die earlier, and his father was forced to do a little harder, but his family is also the family of the eunuch, although the family's economy is not satisfactory, but the most important books on the art of war are still there.

It can be said that throughout the past and present, except for a few real and sporadic civilian counterattacks at the beginning of the founding of the country, it is almost impossible at other times.

And even if it is counterattacked, it may not be able to go smoothly, after all, no matter which country or era, politicians are the most bottomless, dirty, and unscrupulous existences, and some words are really imaginary? Art comes from life!

In this way, it can be seen that the patriarch of the Lin family is really not in vain, he is really for the good of the clan, although the Lin family looks very depressed now, Master Lin is an official alone, but the heritage of the Lin family is still there, and the deed books are still there, although the imperial examination must also be well prepared, but that is for the individual, for the entire Lin family, the patriarch still has that confidence. But the children of the Lin family here in Gusu City have not been in the officialdom for a long time, and they have poor practical experience, so the patriarch chose a few outstanding talents of the Lin family who are very sure of the next scientific examination to come to Master Lin, and want to learn from Master Lin, after all, where is the profundity of those few words of guidance.
