It's dark, the mountain village is completely quiet, the bright moon passes through the mountain, the earth seems to be covered with a layer of silver sand, Wu Fanhui is ready to rest and sleep, the scenery under the moonlight is very beautiful, but unfortunately he doesn't have the heart to watch, this kind of idle day is really difficult.
Before lying down, his father Wu Qingchao entered the cave and closed the door very carefully. The light in the cave was dim, and when he saw his father coming in, his expression was solemn, and Wu Fanhui's eyes instantly became bright.
"Fan Hui, get ready for bed."
"Dad, it's dark, there's nothing to do, just go to bed early."
Wu Qingchao took the wooden stool and sat down on the kang, with a smile on his face.
"Do you want to go to school?"
A simple question, Wu Fanhui's body trembled, everything is inferior, only reading is high, who doesn't want to enter the school to study in these years, so that there can be a future.
Not everyone can enter the school, the famous scholar has a very high status in society, Xiucai saw that the county master can not kneel, unless he is deprived of his fame, otherwise he cannot be detained casually, as for the achievement of the fame, it is not to mention, with the qualification to enter the court as an official, even if it is temporarily unable to be an official, its social status is noble, and it is admired by too many people.
On the one hand, there is no money and food, and when you enter the school, you must give Mr. a bundle, and the weight of the bundle is a lot, on the other hand, it is self-esteem, Jinshi and Juren are the Wenqu stars in the sky, and the children of the croppers have been farming farmers for generations, how can it be the Wenqu stars in the sky, and the last aspect is the lack of recommendation from readers. Where to find a scholar to recommend his children and grandchildren?
Wu Qingchao suddenly threw out this topic, the meaning is very clear, but there is one thing that makes Wu Fanhui strange, that is, why is it only mentioned about reading now, what did he do before, you must know that Wu Fanhui is thirteen years old, not young, the children of large families, reading and learning are about five to six years old, thirteen years old, and they have learned a lot of knowledge.
Another point is that when you enter the school at the age of thirteen, you will undoubtedly suffer discrimination, and you will be discriminated against when you go to class with a group of five or six-year-old children, reciting the "Three Character Classic" and "Hundred Family Names", and you will feel cold and embarrassed to think about it.
Entering the school to study, Wu Fanhui thought when he dreamed that he had deep knowledge in his mind, and he must find a way to display it, and entering the school is the best channel, and from the perspective of personal future development, reading is also the best way for individuals to rise.
"Dad, of course I want to study, but there is no school in the village."
Wu Fanhui was telling the truth, although it was only ten miles away from Mizhi County, there was no school in Ma'anshan Village.
The schools of the Ming Dynasty were divided into three types.
The first type is Guozijian, both Beijing and Nanjing, the imperial court directly runs, entering the Guozijian to study, which means that there is a qualification to be an official, after graduating from the Guozijian, it is called a prisoner, and can be directly arranged to be an official, but to enter the Guozijian to study, the requirements are very strict, and the meritorious scholars can enter, and those who will fail the list can directly enter the Guozijian, and Xiucai needs to be recommended.
The second type is the government school and the county school, each prefecture and county, belongs to all levels of government-run schools, want to enter the county school to study, must have the qualifications of children, the purpose of reading is to prepare for the college examination, expect to be able to pass the college examination in the show, want to enter the school or the state school to study, you must have the fame of the show, enter the school to study, prepare for the township test, and look forward to being able to take the exam.
The third type is scattered folk schools, these schools are either funded by the scholar's family to train the children of the family, or the family alone asks the husband to teach their own children, among the two families funded the majority of the schools, and the people who enter this kind of school are preparing for the county examination and the government examination.
To be called a scholar, at least a child who has passed the county examination and the government examination, the so-called meritorious scholar is the Xiucai who has passed the county examination, the government examination and the hospital examination, the person who has passed the township examination is a lifting person, and the person who has passed the meeting examination and the palace examination is a two-list jinshi.
The status of the two Jinshi is the most noble.
Ma'anshan Village is very close to the county seat, but there is no school, which is not a strange thing, and the number of schools in the entire Mizhi County is also pitiful.
The reason for this situation is that there is a huge gap between the north and the south of the Ming Dynasty in terms of education, with the south occupying an absolute advantage and the north being at an absolute disadvantage.
First of all, in terms of the number of readers, the gap between the north and the south is huge, the south is very prosperous, the number of readers is large, the conditions in the north are difficult, most people are struggling for survival, there are no reading conditions, the number of readers is far less than the south, secondly, in terms of knowledge, the south is far stronger than the north, if you want to make an exact comparison, the show of talent in the south of the country, to the north to participate in the township examination, 100 percent of the lift, the north township test high school lifters, to the south to participate in the township examination, I am afraid that even the deputy list can not be on, finally, from the overall knowledge of the aspect, The South is significantly stronger than the North.
In order to balance the southern, northern and central regions, the imperial examination admission list was divided into the north and south lists, and the southern, northern and central scholars were admitted according to their quotas.
If this is not the case, I am afraid that the north will not be able to produce two Jinshi.
The more backward things are, the less attention they get, and there are many schools in every village in the south, but there is no school in many villages in the north, and the gap in knowledge is getting bigger and bigger.
In various parts of Yan'an Prefecture, there have been disasters and famines one after another in recent years, and the common people and farmers will not be able to survive, and the scholars and doctors are not much better.
"I know, I'm going to send you to the Wu Academy in the county seat to study."
"Dad, there is not so much money and food at home, if I go to study, what will happen to my mother and eldest sister and younger sister."
"You don't have to worry about this, I have a way to deal with it, the environment around the village is very bad, I want you to send it to school...
Wu Fanhui almost stood up, and when he went to the Wu Academy to study, he would need a lot of money and food, and he would have to send him to school, wouldn't it cost him more. The so-called boarding school means that you eat and live in the school, and you don't have to go back and forth every day.
It seems that the situation at home is indeed good.
"Dad said so, I don't have any opinions, it's just that I'm a little late to get started, and I don't know if I can read it."
"Fan Hui, I am not qualified to speak about reading, everything depends on you, before and after the autumn harvest, the Wu Academy will start, you prepare for these two days, and we will set off in three days and go to the county seat."
When Wu Qingchao was about to stand up, Wu Fanhui suddenly spoke.
"Dad, what's the situation with this Wu Academy, and who ran it...
"Ask what you should ask, don't say more about what you shouldn't ask, after going to the school to study, you must also remember this, don't ask about anything casually, just study hard."
Wu Qingchao hurriedly turned around and left, seemingly unwilling to say anything.
This night, Wu Fanhui barely fell asleep, and after just over a month, he had two times when he couldn't sleep.
In the morning, Wu Fanhui reminded himself that he must calm down, never be impetuous, travel to a completely unfamiliar era, still in the stage of exploration and adaptation, it is normal for some emotional fluctuations, but such a situation can not last, otherwise it will have a certain impact on himself, and it will be difficult for him to calm down when he really encounters major events or changes in the future.
Being able to go to the school to study is only the first step in the beginning of the Long March, and the days ahead are still long, and you can be happy when you encounter such a thing, but you can't overdo it, and you can't confuse your mind.
Seeing Wu Fanhui walking out of the cave, Wu Qingchao couldn't help it.
There are almost no scholars in the small mountain village, and the elder Wang Zhengui is a famous Xiucai, but he was only admitted to the Xiucai when he was close to fifty years old.
If a child from any family can enter the school to study, he must be dancing happily and immediately running around to make announcements, for fear that someone will not know, whether they are young or old.
Wu Fanhui's performance was very calm, even too calm, with maturity beyond his age.
Wu Fanhui, who walked out of the cave, still looked as usual, without the slightest change, and he couldn't see what he was happy about.
Mount Tai collapsed in front of it without being surprised.
This is by no means an ordinary temperament, this is the temperament that can do great things.
But people with this kind of temperament have all suffered too much tempering, or have enough profound knowledge.
More than a month has passed, and Wu Qingchao has a lot of things that he can't understand, what happened to his son Wu Fanhui, why there have been earth-shaking changes, and he is the same as before.
Knowing his son Mo Ruo's father, Wu Qingchao was once extremely disappointed, and even a little disgusted with his son Wu Fanhui, so many years have passed, and his heart is too strong to put pressure on Wu Fanhui, and he often goes to extremes when doing things, and the reprimands on weekdays are also irritable, resulting in Wu Fanhui's relationship with him being indifferent and cold, and he is afraid of his father.
Could it be that it was the pressure of many years that made Wu Fanhui suddenly understand things.
But none of this matters, as long as Wu Fanhui is his son, this is enough, the better his son performs, the more opportunities he has to get ahead, and the more resentment in his heart can be vented.
Wu Qingchao is open-minded, he believes that his son can succeed, and he believes that he can succeed.
