Like Liu Yan, the "people with outstanding vision" are naturally only a few, and soon the "abnormality" of the scholars of the Chu State was discovered by the visiting students of other princes one after another.

The more far-sighted and brain-minded people are, the more they can deeply understand the deep meaning behind the overall composition of the candidates in Chu State-seventy percent come from "real ordinary families" whose parents are illiterate or have never held a pen!

People who are truly dedicated to sacred learning in their hearts are also the most shaken at this time, after all, "everyone has a book to read" is originally the scene of their fantasy hometown.

If you start from the perspective of another group of scholars who are more pragmatic in their hearts, they are slightly confused, after all, macroscopic speaking, so many people read books...... What's the use?

Can the state of Chu still make everyone an official?

If not, then it is better to impoverish the minds of these civilians from the beginning, otherwise it will not be self-inflicted?

And the leaders who are really strategic, standing on the third floor, and seeing the whole picture, have vaguely understood that this kind of enlightened proportion should be closely related to and mutually influenced by the workshop......

Although it is not possible to summarize the discussion that the basis of the productive forces determines the social environment, it also faintly sets off the terrifying side of the Chu State under the appearance of seemingly "naively squandering national strength"!

Even if you can't see this layer, you can feel that the spirit of the candidates of Chu Min and Chu State, just this kind of confidence and pride from the inside out is enough to call it "popular support".

For example, among the candidates in the Chu State, two and a half of them are even from women.

At first, these female students were a little shy, but after more contact, especially ...... When the candidates of Chu State gradually understood that it was not like Chu State outside and there were no female members, the pride began to make the girls hold their heads high.

On the contrary, there is no shyness as a minority at first......

The exuberant sense of pride is also one of the common characteristics of the entire Chu State student group.

It's not that they are domineering, but they don't shy away from saying that their families are farmers, butchers, fishermen, and bricklayers......

Even if in addition to them, there are also thirty percent of the "children of the scholar clan", who are also mixed in with the candidates of the Chu State, but in the face of these "three percent", most of them will only envy and compliment, but ...... Civilians are much less restrained in the face of officials.

Whether it is the son of Zhizhou or the son of a weaver, sitting in an examination room, there is a huge difference between families, although there is a huge difference in status and income, as long as the exam is not over, no one knows, in terms of this exam, who has a higher score.

However, if Zhizhou's son, because of his own father, knows that he is a state, and someone else's father is woven as cloth, so he has a heart of contempt, he can be sure that his Chu Xue is not qualified......

And since the exam is Chu Studies, Literary Theory, Arithmetic and Famous Debate, these folk "wild ways" actually make the children of the scholar clan very stressful, especially after "testing" each other!

After all, most of these "wild roads" are from county schools - originally everyone thought that the county schools taught were all big road goods, but now they suddenly reacted a little, although the teachers and heritage of "county schools" are not as deep as those big families, but they are enough in terms of books.

What's more, people are born to score points in the academic exam...... Especially since two years ago, after the teaching materials have been unified in various places!

The students from the county school really have half of their energy, divided into arithmetic, famous debate, and in terms of literary theory, from the beginning of teaching, the county school has upheld the new school as the authentic Confucianism, and in the famous debate link, you will learn some classic interpretations of other schools.

Famous debate, that is, logic, - from the perspective of the subject, we know that from the very beginning of teaching, there is a sense of criticism, there is a kind of teaching you how to use my Da Chu's new learning theory to "bar" these decadent old theories.

The most basic of the four subjects must be Chu Xue......

Once among the people of Chu, it was also widely known as Baixue, and Baitu also saw that the public opinion was huge, so he thought of a good idea, no longer blindly emphasizing the name of "Baixue", but replacing the concept with - the part of "Baixue" that meets the needs of the times, and other schools including Xinxue, after accepting the transformation of Baixue, as a supplement to Baixue, collectively referred to as "Chuxue"!

The first is to separate the concepts of "Baixue" and "Chuxue", and secondly, to ...... It also emphasizes the limitations of Baixue's times, and indirectly recognizes the patches of later generations, and the only one that is established as the eternal core is only one - benevolence and love.

We must take "people" as the beneficiary center of all development, all laws, and all innovations, and on this basis, we can continue to contribute to Chuxue.

When Chuxue is used as a subject for the academic examination, it will not be very difficult, that is, the knowledge points on the county school textbooks will be memorized, and there are some logical analysis questions that combine the thinking of name debate to be done......

As long as you are not too lazy in this regard, whether you are from a county school or a family school, it will not be too bad.

However, in terms of literary theory, as well as famous debate, it is still the children of the scholar clan who have more advantages, after all, the growth environment and family education are too leading, and candidates from ordinary families usually do not read enough of the scriptures, and most of them are learning excerpts in the county school.

Although he has attacked reading comprehension, it is still difficult to be as comprehensive as the children of the scholar clan.

Even if the county school has its own advantages in this regard, it is ...... After all, there is no way to surpass the children of the scholar clan in the strengths of others.

And the thinking of name debate is not something that can be established day by day, and even in comparison, it is the most difficult way to "test-oriented education" among the four subjects, and it is also the weakest link of county school.

In contrast, in terms of arithmetic, the county school's question sea tactics, as well as the already leading mathematical concepts, make the students from the county school even surpass the scholar family study - after all, many families, although there are also arithmetic classics of the Han Dynasty and even the pre-Qin Dynasty, but in this regard, the county school is obviously more perfect, and the reason why it has not been able to "crush" is because of the limited number of teachers......

In general, if you really want to calculate the children of the scholar clan and the candidates from ordinary families separately, the former can be higher on average, but considering the ratio of seventy-three points, in the final admission, it is not a problem for candidates from ordinary families to win the acceptance rate of 30%!

The total number accounts for seven, and the admission accounts for three, and it seems to be a loss in terms of pure data, but this is already the smallest moment between the commoners and the nobles since the tribal era, including the Yao Shunyu era touted by Confucianism and vigorously packaged!

Of course, this is mainly because of the "carelessness" of the scholars, if they are willing to combine family learning with county learning, and actively participate in the county school system, with their starting point advantages and innate environmental advantages, I am afraid that the "progress" space of the common people will be smaller.

In fact, some scholars, especially the high-ranking families close to the imperial court, have long had this meaning, sending young children to the county school, and usually continuing to inherit the family education!

After all, this is the end of the Han Dynasty......

The gap between the commoners and the scholars is too large, much larger than in the Tang, Song, Ming and Qing dynasties in the same feudal period.

Naturally, if you want to make amends, the more time and timing will be needed......

As long as the scholars react, for a long time after that, it will be difficult for students from ordinary families to break the record of the first-year examination in the acceptance rate of top universities.

What Bai Tu can do is to constantly "arm" the teachers of the county school, and try to ensure that the disadvantages of students from ordinary families will not expand.

The reason why he can do this kind of thing that others can't do is not because Bai Tu is "sage", but in essence, because Bai Tu has enough "resources" in his hands.

Therefore, Bai Tu can give priority to the civilians from the county school before the scholars react - and this kind of "preferential treatment", the scholars can only be convinced, after all, Bai Tu also encouraged them to go to the county school before.

The other thing is......

Even after the scholars reacted, Bai Tu could throw something new from time to time to narrow the gap between the two.

For example, Bai Tu considered whether to add "science", that is, the foundation of physicochemical biology, as one of the examination subjects in the first academic examination this year.

It's just that in the short term, even if it's just the basics, it's still very difficult to promote.

After all, no matter how to compile the teaching materials, they will eventually fall into the county school, and teachers are still needed.

And if it can't be promoted smoothly at all, how can you take the test?

Therefore, "science" was not included in it for the time being, but the news that it would be reformed......

If "science" is really included, it is foreseeable that even scholars with similar traditions will have to be added to the county school system.

The main purpose of constantly raising the difficulty of "scientific" education is, of course, to nurture industrialization -- not for the sake of difficulty, but for the sake of deepening industrialization, and the quality of the required personnel will continue to improve.

But at the same time, it also has the added effect of constantly pulling everyone's starting line as close as possible!

After all, in terms of "science", the family advantage of the children of the scholar clan is basically only in the "atmosphere".

In case of catching up with the unlucky, there are some old-fashioned words in the family, maybe it will be counterproductive.

As for family counselling......

It's not that Baitu discriminates against them, let alone the county school, with the current four-year school system of township school (Mengxue) and four-year county school in Chu State, if a science subject is really opened, the content of the second grade of Mengxue, the "celebrities" they have not been exposed to, will not be tutored!

In this way, in addition to bringing the starting line closer, there is also a hidden benefit, that is, to make the young people of the scholar clan understand that the words of the elders in the family may not be right, and you can surpass them in some aspects when you are in the second grade of the township school, and there is no need to be superstitious about the authority of the scholar clan.

This can also promote their absorption of "Chu Studies......

Bai Tu can actually imagine that many scholars may have carried private goods when teaching the children of the clan "Chu Xue".

After all, people's vital interests are there, and everyone wants to be a "benevolent", but the premise is to ensure that they are always qualified to be a "benevolent".

However, when the children of the scholar clan also focused on county learning, the gap between the two sides was already very limited, and ...... In fact, Bai Tu is not very willing to emphasize "both sides".

After all, turning the two sides into one side is the ultimate pursuit of Chu Xue.

As for the gentry, they were dissatisfied with the dilution of vested interests, and then suppressed the common class......

In general, there will definitely be an element of this, but ...... Just as the core of Chuxue is "benevolence loves others", the "love people" in the second half of the sentence refers to people-oriented, and the "benevolent" in the first half of the sentence reflects the confidence in human nature.

Without one of the two, the foundation of Chu Xue no longer exists.

If you don't believe that there will be a "benevolent" at all, then Chu Xue is a mirror after all, only on the basis of believing, abide by the bottom line of "loving people", so that the "benevolent" continues to increase, and the highest pursuit of Chu Xue's "four good as one" has a chance to be realized.

Said Shinong, said industry and commerce, these four people, the goodness of the country - the "Three Character Classic" from the beginning of Mengxue, taught Mengtong that the "four good" are equal.

However, letting a seven-year-old child think so is just the beginning, and a seventy-year-old person can also think so, and Chu Xue can be regarded as the final realization.

Of course, Bai Tu estimates that by then, there is a high probability that there will be no existence in the Chu State...... It shouldn't exist, right? At least the crown of the king of Chu should no longer exist.

What the state of Chu can do is try to balance, not "guard against thieves", and in essence, it does not regard either side as an "enemy".

Most of the candidates directly sent by other princes arrived in Jinling and other prefectures in May, and most of the candidates from outside Chu who signed up on their own came earlier, and some even studied in the county school for a while.

This is often welcomed by county schools, after all...... As long as the family does not move into Chu and study as an alien student, the "bondage" is very high!

And in the last month before the academic examination, a major event also happened in the court of Chu State-Lu Kang, a scholar of the Imperial Palace.

Although Lu Kang's status in the Chu State is self-evident, because this Zhishi is not the result of some factional dumping, but has been predicted half a year in advance, and has completed the process of three resignations and three concessions, it has not caused any shock.

In the end, when it was published in the private newspaper, there were not many surprises.

I really want to say something shaking......

That is, when Lu Kang was officially approved at the court meeting on May 16, he "finally" made a request to the king of Chu, which caused a lot of "shock" in the court.

This time it was also Lu Kang's "willfulness" once, and he didn't discuss it with Bai Tu before......

"Lu Lao is here, even if he is far away from the court, he will also be glorious forever! If you have any requests, just bring them. At the court meeting, Bai Tu said to Lu Kang very sincerely.

When Lu Kang heard this, he blinked at the rare "naughty" dialogue, and then said: "King Qichu, but the old people have something to ask for......

Bai Tu didn't know why, he always felt that Lu Kang's blink just now was a little dangerous, but at this time, he obviously couldn't stop!

"Taishi Ling Xu Rong, gentle and gentle, with good character, has also reached the year of marriage encouraged by "Chu Law", and the old people Guan Xu Taishi has always longed for the king of Chu......"

Bai Tu felt that tonight, his Chu Palace, would definitely be very shaken!
