Yunqi Academy used to be the library of the Xiangfo Temple, but also the largest collection of books in the Huainan area, 30 years ago today's saint in addition to the open imperial examination, but also a large school, the Buddha Temple presided over and the local officials in Liuzhou to the library as the center, widely planted flowers and trees, invited the carpenter of the White Deer Cave Academy to build the courtyard attic, built one hundred and eighty school buildings, formulated teaching rules, and hired Confucians from all over the country as a teacher, the Yunqi Academy has cultivated countless talents in the past 30 years, and there are twenty or thirty second-class scholars, And the most proud of Yunqi Academy is that the first-class master of the Hanlin Academy is the first batch of students of Yunqi Academy, and it is also the Tanhualang with the highest achievement in the imperial examination of Yunqi Academy.

Because it is inconvenient to climb the mountain, the carriage is not suitable for going up the mountain, Wei and the ladies sent them to the bottom of the mountain of Yunqi Academy and will not go, before leaving, Wei instructed Shang Mingyang, things are put away, they must pay attention to safety, because they are going to study in the academy so their brothers only brought a little scholar, Brother Yang is not an exception, she inquired about the academy is two students live in one room, Wei is always a little flustered in his heart, but there are many people and it is not good to say anything, can only warn his son to be careful and careful, Several sisters and sisters also made a noise around him, and after a delay of a stick of incense, Shang Mingchang and the others were a little impatient before leaving.

Although the mountain road of Xiangfo Temple is crooked, it is not difficult to walk, in addition to the pedestrians who go up the mountain to burn incense and worship the Buddha, there are more or less some young students dressed as scholars who want to go to Yunqi Academy, Shang Mingyang's physical fitness is always inferior to the three younger brothers, when he walks halfway up the mountain, he feels that his physical strength is a little insufficient, and he sees that other people do not have the meaning of stopping and resting, so he can only grit his teeth and insist on going up the mountain, and finally arrive at Xiangfo Temple, his body has been sweating, the cold wind blows in winter, it is cold and hot, and his legs are sore and relieved for a moment by shaking the rope.

After resting in the Xiangfo Temple, Shang Mingyang's pale face finally improved, and at this time a young monk came to guide them, and finally came to Yunqi Academy through a long gallery, the little monk handed them over to one of the little men guarding the door and left, Shang Mingyang took out the Geng post that his grandfather had given him a long time ago, and the little guy who guarded the door looked at the seal that confirmed that there was a college, and respectfully took them into the gate, and then passed through the second gate, and then inside was the lecture hall where major events were held, and the middle intersection was leading to the teaching area, The Zhai area, the library pavilion, and the office area of the gentlemen and mountain chiefs, and the teaching area are a training ground for practicing martial arts, horseback riding and archery

The gatekeeper is an active character, and he whispered while leading them: "The villain's surname is Luo Jia's seventh, and several students can be called villain Luo Qi, our academy, there are four classes of heaven and earth Xuanhuang, each class will recruit thirty or forty students, and they will be assessed by the mountain chief and Mr. before admission, and then divided into classes according to strength, and will also be assessed once a year after the festival, and then re-divided into classes according to the ranking, the best class in the day, the end of the yellow class, because our academy has not opened Mengxue, so only accept students over ten years old and under twenty." ”

Shang Mingfang immediately interjected and asked: "How can someone like us who has just entered the school definitely not be as good as the one who has been enrolled for many years, wouldn't it be unfair to divide classes like this?"

Xiao Wu smiled and continued to explain, "So we are divided into six levels, each year for the freshmen for the first level, the second year for the second level and so on, in the sixth year, if you still want to continue to study, you can always be at the sixth level, but this bundle has to be doubled, there is also a situation, that is, the master has been admitted to the master, and if you want to continue to take the Jinshi examination, you will be assigned to the "none" character class separately, taught by the mountain chief himself, and the bundle of miscellaneous fees is free"

Shang Mingyang thought that although he could already be an official if he was lifted, there must be some ambitious people who still wanted to take the exam again, not to mention that those who could be lifted before the age of twenty were all elite children, how could they be willing to raise people, the career of being an official and being an official in the future is very different, since he is still young, why not continue to take the exam!

The enrollment of the academy adheres to the words of the sage of "education and class", there is no threshold, no distinction between rich and poor, as long as you are interested in learning, you can enroll, but if you are really like that, I am afraid that the threshold of Yunqi Academy will be flattened, so if you want to enter the academy, in addition to handing over the shackles, you will also take the entrance exam, and for those who are poor in farming, you can't even take out the shackles, not to mention the high cost of food and accommodation and the unreachable exams, and there are many and the strength of the whole family. Smashing pots and selling iron also has to provide a family that lifts people, after all, if someone in the family is an official, it is a matter for the whole family to benefit

Of course, there are also some kind of prominent or wealthy people, forcibly stuffed to the academy, the academy is not easy to offend these people, so the ranking and class system has been opened, "heaven" and "earth" two classes of students are naturally the focus of cultivation, "Xuan" and "Huang" two classes are either poor qualifications or mixed eating and waiting for death, so as long as you don't make trouble, you can get by, of course, if there are two classes of "Xuan" and "Huang" who suddenly work hard, they will be promoted to the other two classes according to their rankings after the year.
