Chapter Forty-Eight: Reading Is Useless
Cang Zijian stayed outside the city for a night, and after dawn, he went into the city to work all day, and returned to the academy at sunset. Knowing that no one came to sign up, Cang Zijian told the news of the inquiry.
Fu Zhenyu's face was not good.
Liu Qing asked her: "Which of these basically true rumors are you annoyed about?" ”
Cangzi replied: "Because, such rumors are extremely unfavorable to Master. ”
Outsiders don't know that the reason why Fu Shanchang regards Yuan Zizhou as his son-in-law is that Yuan Zizhou deliberately guided him, and they will only think that the Fu family and Fu Shanchang want to eat swan meat. In addition, just because his wish was not fulfilled, he became seriously ill and went south to seek medical treatment, which shows that he is not broad-minded, and his body is about Xiao's father, not a long-lived person.
The reputation of a scholar is the most important, and with the label of narrow-mindedness and short life, Fu Shanchang will be difficult to enter the rank in the future. It is not easy to enter the profession and only teach. The mountain chief is the helmsman of the academy, and Nanhu Academy has such a mountain chief, who dares to send the child over?
After Fu Zhenyu was silent for a moment, he asked Cang Zijian: "Didn't the second senior brother say that he beat Yuan Zizhou very badly?" Are you sure that he released these messages? ”
Cang Zijian said: "I followed the vine and touched the melon all day, and I was sure that the rumor originally came out of the Yuan family. ”
Fu Zhenyu closed his eyes and thought for a moment, and said, "The situation of yesterday and today is estimated to continue in the next few days. After seven days, let's go with a different plan. ”
Cang Zijian was puzzled, Qian Wenju was eager to make up for it, so he said, "Freedom from restraint, right?" Senior sister, what I said to you yesterday is still counted. ”
Without waiting for Fu Zhenyu to speak, Cang Zijian glanced at him and said, "Second junior brother, the problems that can be solved with silver are not problems. Since you have impulsively beaten people and confirmed these rumors, you must make up for it, and do not use money to make up for it. ”
The back road was cut off, and Qian Wenju had to continue to ponder. After pondering this, he found something amazing, and immediately drooped his face and said, "Senior brother, I just found out that I have nothing else to use except silver......
"No, you can still participate in the imperial examination. In the past, you didn't want to take the test for fame, but now, after the master's reputation is damaged because of you, Nanhu Academy needs to raise the master's clearing, you must take the test to raise people back! Cangzijian stated his purpose.
Fu Zhenyu was the first to disagree, she said: "Senior brother, don't be embarrassed for the second senior brother." ”
It is the rule of the world that the family business is inherited by the eldest son, but the Qian family has exceptions. Qian Wenju's grandfather Xing Er, because of his excellence, after the clan discussion, he surpassed his brother to become the head of the Qian family. Before he was ten years old, Qian Wenju was recognized by his clan as the most gifted one of his generation, and thus became the public enemy of all his brothers, including his brother from a fellow mother.
is different from others, Brother Qian said directly to his younger brother: "I want to be the head of the family, no matter how powerful you are, you have to listen to me." ”
Qian Wenju has had a close relationship with his brother since he was a child, and when he heard such straightforward words, he was overjoyed, and there was nothing that he should not have. And, whenever someone said that he was like a grandfather, he would tell others: "It doesn't matter who you are, I listen to my brother." ”
is such a close brother, but there is still a rift. According to the family, the heir to the head of the family and the crown, after passing the trial, can become the young head of the family and become the next head of the family. Brother Qian and Guan, but he failed the clan test and was judged to be delayed for five years before he could become the head of the young family. Five years later, Qian Wenju won the crown. In other words, the Qian family clan still has to wait for Qian Wenju to grow up.
Brother Qian has been working hard since he was a child, which is to inherit the family business, and he does not accept any accidents! He found someone to kidnap his younger brother, not to take his brother's life, as long as his younger brother became disabled, he could not be the head of the family.
Qian Wenju sensed that something was wrong, and did not expose his brother, but just took advantage of the opportunity to run away from home. When Brother Qian found Nanhu Academy, he used this as a threat and asked his brother to help him stay in Nanhu: "Big brother, I like to read, I like to study here, and I want to be a scholar." As long as I can stay here, I won't tell anyone what happened. ”
Brother Qian felt guilty, but he didn't want to be known that he had tried to mutilate his siblings, so he had to help Qian Wenju stay in Nanhu Academy. Last year, after Brother Qian became the young head of the Qian family through the approval of the clan, he said that Grandmother Qian was seriously ill and came to pick up Qian Wenju in person, and Qian Wenju went home.
Fu Zhenyu knows these things, and Cang Zijian also knows.
Yes, after Fu Zhenyu finished speaking, Cang Zijian said: "Keep giving in, there will always be a time when there is no way back." Erlang is either weak or strong, what he is most afraid of is his current state, which is actually soft, the kind that others can kill him with their fingers, but he still has the skin of the strong and becomes a target. ”
Qian Wen's heart was moved.
Because of his former glory, and because he passed the county exam at the age of seventeen and became a showman, he went home this time, and many people still recognized him as the most outstanding one of this generation. This time, not only did he have an estrangement from his eldest brother, but his four-year-old nephew, under the teaching of his sister-in-law, he had become wary of him. Feeling uncomfortable at home, he tried his best to return to Nanhu.
Seeing that his eyes were loose, Cang Zijian said again: "Second junior brother, I have a family vendetta to avenge, and I will return to the court after all." Nanhu Academy needs someone to wait. ”
In the case that the master's reputation is not as good as before, and the senior brother is leaving, then he, the second senior brother, must take over the responsibility of the academy. So, Qian Wenju said: "I listen to Senior Brother." ”
Fu Zhenyu had to remind the two of them: "Professor Wu has already said that Nanhu Academy must recruit people this year in order to keep the name of the academy. The next township test was two years later. It was the second senior brother's first township test, and it was also far away that the water couldn't save the near fire. ”
Cang Zijian looked back, looked at her, and said, "Don't you have an alternative?" ”
Fu Zhenyu's eyes lit up and asked, "Senior brother agreed?" ”
"I've only told the truth, but I've ever objected? Even today, I also said that your method is not easy to implement, and the risk is also great. ”
Qian Wenju was curious and asked, "What is the method?" ”
Fu Zhenyu went back to the room and found the second set of plans, and showed them to the two senior brothers and the elder Liu Qing like a treasure to read, while she talked eloquently on the side, supplementing her thoughts.
"The strength of the country depends on the strength of the people. All the people can study and all the people are soldiers, which is the most important place for the development of the Holy Dynasty. The real problem is that reading books is a little expensive and risky. Therefore, ordinary people are not willing to consider things that they are full of food and clothing. Thirty years ago, when there were still many people in the Holy Dynasty who did not have enough to eat, it was a bit too much to talk about reading for the whole people. But now, although the wind and rain are not smooth, the people's lives are almost stable, and the conditions for the whole people to study are met. ”
The fundamental reason why there are still very few scholars who have the conditions for reading is that there is only one way out for officials to study.
If you can't become an official, then it's useless to study, which is the logic of 90 percent of people nowadays.
The scientific entrance examination is more difficult than the college entrance examination in later generations, and I don't know how many levels. In a county with 100,000 men, there are two three examinations for children in three years, and there are at most 50 children. Xiucai is absolutely one in a thousand; Show talent to lift people, one out of ten; Lift people to Jinshi, ten into one. After calculation, if a person wants to become a jinshi, he is one out of 100,000 miles, and one person from a county.
Such a probability is too difficult, and the vast majority of people don't believe that their ancestral graves are smoking, and they can raise an official.
Yes, it is useless to read.
