Three days passed in the blink of an eye, and the heads of the Xungui family, led by the Zhenguo Bull family, gathered in Rongguo Mansion on this day, and they were preparing to visit the Jia clan study.

There were three days as a buffer, and the excitement of the Jia people gradually dissipated.

The two ethnic studies in the north and south, and the twelve talents who were admitted in one go, are quite remarkable in small places and noble circles, but they are nothing in the literati circle.

Especially in the well-known academies, the admission requirements for some classes are to show off talents or even lift people, and the fame of just showing talents is nothing at all.

The liveliness of Jiafu has attracted the disdain of many well-known literati in Beijing.

The eldest lord doesn't care at all, but the second master can't stand it a little.

He also thought that if the Jia clan taught twelve talents in one go, he would be recognized by the literati circle, and then the Rong Mansion would directly transfer from martial arts to literature and become a real scholarly family.

Naive!

Although the distinction between the civilian clique and the noble clique is based on their origins and experiences, it is still due to their interests.

Doesn't it mean that the sons of noble people can become a member of the civil official group if they study and study for official careers, and the things in this world are so simple?

The reason why Jia Jing cultivated the Tao was not only affected by the affairs of the former prince, but also the collective rejection of the civil official group in the court was also one of the main reasons.

Lin Ruhai's example is also very representative, based on his experience of losing his father and studying hard in his early years, this Tanhualang is a standard reader, but unfortunately he is still not accepted by the civil official group.

Otherwise, he would not easily marry the Jia family, although Jia Daishan, the Duke of Rongguo, was still alive at that time, and the Rong Mansion was the time to be prominent.

Also, the doctor of Lantai Temple with three products on his body, the position of Yangzhou Salt Patrol Imperial History, and Lin Ruhai's age advantage, no matter which civil official faction he is placed in, he is an important member of the cabinet seed player.

If there is really a strong civilian faction behind it, how can it be trapped in the position of patrolling the salt and the imperial history?

Lin Ruhai said that he was loyal to the emperor, but it was just a helpless excuse, he was not treated by the Wenchen group, and the power of the four major families had declined greatly, and without the help of effective foreign aid, it was impossible to get out of the whirlpool of Yangzhou Salt Patrol Imperial History.

It can be said that Lin Ruhai is still classified as a nobleman, but his status as a literati is recognized, but the civil official group is unwilling to accept it.

In other words, a literati like Lin Ruhai can't be accepted by the civil official group, where does the second master of politics get the confidence, the civil official group will easily accept it because the Jia family has twelve talents in one breath?

I have to say that the emperors of the past dynasties and the scholars have done too well in publicity, and they always put the words "everything is inferior, only reading is high", and this is very marketable due to the right to speak.

What is the real reason, it is not that the civil official group wants to completely control the court, the Ming Dynasty in real history is the best example.

Not to mention, here a person in charge of a powerful family in Beijing followed the eldest master to the Jia family school in the capital.

"This is where the ethnography is, do you want to see it yourself, or will I introduce it?"

The eldest lord was not polite at all, glanced at these guys and asked directly.

"It's better to see for yourself first, and then ask Enhou if you don't understand something!"

Niu Lao Er of the Zhenguo Mansion was not polite, and directly walked around the Jia clan with a few close people.

The rest of the powerful families looked at each other, and the second elder of the Shi family said: "Enhou, you can take us around, by the way, it's good!" ”

"It's good!"

The eldest lord did not refuse, and took a group of powerful people to also wander around the clan study.

It's just that this turn doesn't matter, but the layout of the Jia family school surprised the visiting magnates.

In the schools that teach the Four Books and the Five Classics, in addition to the number of students who are Mengxue is larger, the number of slightly larger students is pitifully small.

Among them, the students who are going to participate in next year's Xiucai exam are divided into two classes, and there are less than 20 boots in each class.

The number of gentlemen who taught them was six.

According to the eldest master, these gentlemen are all in charge of six or seven students, as long as the students are willing to learn, and the gentleman is also a person who wants to participate in the imperial examination, many examination know-how will be inadvertently taught, and it is difficult to get results.

"Enhou, there are a lot of people in the Jia clan in the capital, how can they be such students?"

The third member of the Shi family, who was following him, asked curiously: "Isn't there any other secret?" ”

"Drink, and you'll know how to keep it secret!"

The eldest master said angrily: "The matter of the school is not a secret, if you want to inquire easily, are there any other secrets in your heart?" ”

The words made the rulers of the powerful families around him embarrassed.

"Let's go, the family studies are willing to study quietly, and the number of students who have passed the imperial examination is not large, and more students are in the Baigong School!"

The eldest lord brought a vote of the head of the powerful family to a larger school area, which was much more lively, and students dressed in uniform could be seen everywhere.

Baigong School, as the name suggests, is a place to teach the skills of Baigong.

It is mainly about business and business, which is divided into many small subjects, so that the heads of powerful families can see them straight.

What surprised them even more was that the martial arts on the side of the Baigong School were at their peak; Students who practice fist and foot weapon kung fu and riding kung fu can be seen everywhere, and some students who compete in the strength of the competition can be a hundred generals in Beijing, which is really amazing.

It's a pity that the liveliness of the Baigong School completely stimulated the second master of politics.

"Big brother, how did the good school come to this?"

Ignoring the head of the powerful family next to him, the second master of politics directly asked the eldest master dissatisfied: "Is this still a school for reading and progressing?" ”

These words can be regarded as speaking to the hearts of the heads of the powerful families present.

Visited the Jia clan school, not so much that this is a school for the imperial examination, but rather a hundred engineering school, as for the students who are serious about studying, it is just incidental.

"Isn't that bad?"

The eldest man was not angry, and asked with a calm expression: "What is the purpose of studying?" ”

"Studying is naturally to improve self-cultivation, and to serve the imperial court in the imperial examination!"

As if he had grasped the truth, the second master of Zheng said confidently: "The students of the school are not on the right path, and they are still learning hundreds of skills, which is really insulting!" ”

The head of the powerful family next to him didn't like to hear it very much.

Co-authored, in the heart of the second master of politics, only the imperial examination is the right way, and the others are crooked and heretical?

"Second political officer, since you think so, what kind of official should you be, your official position seems to have been obtained by grace, right?"

Others were afraid of the feelings of the second master, but the boss of the Shi family was not afraid at all, and directly opened his mouth to reveal the scars of the second master.

"You, you, you......"

This slap in the face is really ruthless, and it is not embarrassing to directly beat the second master of Zheng so red-faced, you can't say anything to refute it for a long time.

"Okay, everyone is here to visit the academy today, not to quarrel!"

The eldest lord spoke at the right time and said indifferently; "I still say that, reading is a personal thing, with the family background of our people, wealth and glory do not worry about and do not need to compete with those poor scholars, it is not really a talent for reading, and basically the progress in reading is very poor!"

This is said to the hearts of the heads of the powerful families present, isn't that so?

"We noble families, we really don't have much background to speak of, but we have a lot of resources at hand, and those who are capable and willing to make progress in the clan can easily be arranged to enter the officialdom, and the starting point is not lower than that group of jinshi!"

This is true, and the eldest master is the best example.

"It's true that the family doesn't have a reading atmosphere, and many students can't read the serious Four Books and Five Classics at all!"

The head of the Xungui family nodded again and again, not to mention the children of the family, didn't they themselves have a headache about the Four Books and Five Classics at the beginning?

"In this case, then simply transfer the students who are unwilling to read the Four Books and Five Classics to the Hundred Crafts School, and learn different Hundred Crafts skills according to their interests and hobbies, at least have a means of making a living!"

The eldest master talked eloquently, pointed to those students who practiced martial arts in full swing, and said with a smile: "Of course, Rongguo Mansion started with martial arts, but these students of the Baigong Academy must practice martial arts, and at least they can go to the army to get a good position!" ”

"Enhou is so calculating!"

Shi Laosan stretched out his thumb and praised: "The martial arts of these boys are really good, even if they are placed in Jingying, it will not be a problem to mix a hundred people!" ”

"Haha, they're not even close!"

The eldest lord smiled: "I don't want to train them to be cannon fodder who can only charge into battle, in addition to the hundred crafts and medicine skills that they are interested in, they will also dabble in some military tactics a little, at least they will not have only one charge in their minds!" ”

These words shocked the head of the Xungui family, and he looked back at the students who were exercising in full swing on the playground, and there was no trace of awe in his heart.

According to the old man, these bloody boys not only have not weak martial arts, but also dabbled in the knowledge of the art of war and tactics, which are much stronger than those middle- and low-level officers in Beijing who have risen from the bottom.

With the latent power of the Jia family in the army, if there is good luck among these students, maybe they will be a general in the army in twenty years, which is really amazing.

"Enhou, don't you Jia family want to transfer from martial arts to literature, it doesn't make sense to see this posture!"

Seeing that the companions around him showed thoughtful and even jealous expressions, the third elder of the Shi family hurriedly said with a smile: "The success rate of the students who study the Four Books and the Five Classics over there is not low!" ”

"It's nature!"

The eldest master said indifferently: "Except for the students who have no reading talent and don't want to study, the rest are students who are willing to study quietly. ”
