Chapter 218: The Story of the Ma Family

In the back hall, in addition to Ma Rui, Mrs. Yu and the dumb uncle, there is also a little maid who has been waiting for Mrs. Yu, but the little girl is obviously scared stupid, squatting on the side with a broken porcelain tea cup, watching Ma Rui go crazy there, at a loss.

Chen An led Ma Yuexiang to her side and asked, "What's going on?"

The little maid was when the six gods were ownerless, and when Chen An asked, she instinctively blurted out: "The eldest young master doesn't want to go to Wuzhi Academy to study, but Madam doesn't agree." ”

Chen An suddenly realized that although he had been in Daqian for a short time, his cognition of Daqian's style was not inferior to that of today's people. Since he first arrived in Pingtaekgou, he has been studying the great dry scenery in order to integrate into it in the shortest possible time. Therefore, I know a lot about some institutions that are closely related to people's livelihood.

The so-called Wuzhiyuan also starts with the imperial court's education policy for the people under its rule.

As the Zhuxia Dynasty, of course, it is necessary to give priority to education, so the imperial court selects most of the officials for literary scholars, and in the states of the world, the literature museum is widely set up, and the elite education is included, and the assessment is set up in each period, and those who pass the assessment can be selected as officials. This is simply a step to the sky, and it is naturally desirable for people. However, this world is still the world of elites, and the way to promotion is in the hands of elites, and eighty percent of the opportunities to ascend to the sky like the Literature Museum are in the hands of the gentry, and it is even more difficult for ordinary civilians to get it.

However, the Daqian Imperial Court is known as being inclusive, the national policy is very open-minded, and it also provides opportunities for ordinary people to improve, that is, the Wuzhiyuan that is also set up in every state in the world.

It's just that there is still a gap between the Wuzhiyuan and the Literature Museum, and this gap does not refer to a literal sense of the word "one article and one martial arts", in fact, although the Literature Museum is called the Literature Museum, it also teaches martial arts, and the martial arts taught are more advanced than those of the Wuzhi Academy. In the eyes of the people of Zhuxia, there is no separation between civil and military affairs, and the literary style is naturally superior, but without martial arts and a strong physique, everything is just an empty space. Therefore, in Daqian, both civil and military skills are the right way, talents, and cultivating only one kind is just a weak chicken and a reckless man, and people of insight categorically do not take it.

The difference between the Wuzhiyuan and the Literature Museum is that one is run by the government and the other is run by the people.

Yes, the Literature Museum is privately run, and the Wuzhi Yuan is government-run.

In the eyes of the contemporaries, the Literature Museum cultivated officials for the country and should be run by the government, but this is not the case, although the state also allocated funds for the literature museums in various places, but in fact, most of the funds and control of the literature museums in various places were in the hands of the local gentry. Famous and learned people among the local gentry will be directly appointed by the state as doctors to become the actual controllers of the local literature museum, firmly control the reserve talent resources of state officials, and establish a political system in which the emperor and scholars rule the world together.

The original intention of the establishment of the Wuzhiyuan was to fight against this system, break the monopoly of local tycoons on the country's human resources, and give more opportunities to the common people. However, since its construction, it has not made any outstanding contributions, because the state simply cannot afford this part of the education costs. The teaching level and faculty of Wuzhiyuan are more than one grade worse than that of the Literature Museum.

Therefore, since the establishment of Wuzhiyuan, it has been hanging half-dead, and its status is extremely embarrassing, until the appearance of Zhenguo Gong.

If it is said that Daqian Taizu Taizong just walked shit and built a country on the remains of the previous dynasty, then Zhenguo Gong is simply the star of Daqian's Zhongxing, and he single-handedly created the Daqian Empire, the Central Dynasty, which is comparable to the immortal dynasty on the ground.

His contribution to the great cadres is not only a sweeping away of the four razors, the shock of the eight famines, and many silent policies are simply countless.

Take this Wuzhiyuan as an example, he formulated a strategy that the Wuzhiyuan in various places will be undertaken by local sect associations, and the state will allocate 30% of the funds.

At first, all the major sects didn't think so, and even had a lot of resistance in their hearts, they themselves were the prototype of the academy, and they couldn't train their own disciples, so how could they have the leisure to educate others.

However, Yuntian Sect took the lead and opened the Wuzhi Courtyard widely, and with the support of national policies, the Wuzhi Courtyard of the Yuntian Sect was once opened in the entire northern land, and even opened in front of the mountain gate of the Liufeng Pavilion, which was also a giant of the Ten Directions, to grab disciples and grab the source of life with this big guy.

Can this be endured?

So the Liufeng Pavilion will also be opened, who won't open the base, anyway, the country has a foundation there, invest some money, send a disciple from the outer sect to sit in the town, and the local government will bear the enrollment matters, which is extremely simple, and then it is like a competition between the various sects to open the Wuzhi Academy.

In this way, in just two or three years, the Wuzhiyuan, which is supported by various sects, will be able to call out the literature museum controlled by the family, and the literature museum can no longer monopolize talents, so it is centralized and stable.

The various sects also discovered at this time that there were still many benefits for them to open the Wuzhi Academy, not to mention the secret hand of throttling resources and qualified disciples, just the support of national policies and the cultivation of talents for the country, the incense of these talents was enough to make the status of their own sects stable.

So later, not only the top sects at the level of the Ten Giants were running schools, but some other second- and third-rate sects also began to follow suit and be keen on running schools.

The scale of Wuzhiyuan is like a snowball, almost 19 prefectures, and every city and county has Wuzhiyuan.

It stands to reason that although the Wuzhiyuan is still shallow, it is good to be able to study in it, and even the Wuzhiyuan in many places can beat the local literature museum.

But Chen An thought about it, this place is close to Kunlun Mountain, which should be the border area of Daqian, and the Wuzhiyuan on the border of Daqian seems to have such a rule: "All five members of the rich family Ding Yi should go to Wuzhiyuan to serve as a border soldier." ”

In other words, the Wuzhiyuan in the border areas of Daqian still has the obligation to train border troops for the state.

In fact, no matter which dynasty or generation, it seems that the border people have undertaken the military service of the border guards. The difference is that Chen An once stayed in the Great Zhou, the highest martial arts is the consummation of the Nine Tricks, and the requirements for the army are correspondingly low.

However, in Daqian, non-human existences abound, so the requirements for the army's individual soldier quality are relatively much higher.

Therefore, on the other hand, going to the Wuzhi Academy in the border area often means going to the border to serve in the military.

If you say this, you can understand the reason why the eldest young master of the Ma family is so hysterical.

But what's the use of him making trouble here, he is the only son of the Ma family, who does he not accept this military service, is it ......

Chen An's mind turned and thought of Mrs. Yu's two adopted sons, and then he looked at the eyes of the eldest young master of the Ma family with some amusement, this kid had a good calculation.

This is not to say that military service cannot be replaced, in fact, many rich families are paying for people to help with military service, this kind of thing is in the Great Zhou, there are also great cadres, and it is even estimated that there are any dynasties, and the hungry and happy are full of extreme poverty, just give a little settling-in allowance, and those who are willing to die for the sake of death are estimated to be able to queue up.

But this is not a direct conscription, and it is not necessarily necessary to go to the battlefield when he enters the Wuzhi Academy, and while throwing the danger out, he also gives the opportunity to advance to others, is this Ma Rui brainless?

Just listening to the words of the little maid just now, the proposal of the eldest young man of the Ma family seems to have been vetoed by Mrs. Yu, is it because he wants to force his son Jackie Chan, or is he too kind-hearted to let others suffer for his son? Chen An glanced at Mrs. Yu, who was standing in front of the hall, her face was pale, and she was scolded by her own son with a sad and panicked look, although she didn't want to believe that there was such a good person in the world, but she still thought that the cause might be the latter.

"You crippled old godly slave, get out of here, master speaks, what are you doing here. The Ma family, who has been marked as brain-dead by Chen An, still doesn't know it, and is still venting his evil fire on the dumb uncle who came out to persuade him.

"Shut up, you ...... How can you speak like that to Chamber. Mrs. Yu trembled angrily, supported the bed behind her back with one hand, and pointed at her unscrupulous son with the other.

It's just that her eyebrows and eyes are crooked, and she looks soft and weak, and this reprimand has no power at all, but makes Ma Rui even more energetic: "What's wrong with scolding him for being a lowly slave, I am your biological son, you led one or two unrelated people into the door, did you take into account my feelings, now a subordinate can ride on the head of me, the real master of the horse family, what status do I have in this family?"

Ma Rui stretched out his finger and pointed at Mrs. Yu, and then at the dumb uncle, but it was not enjoyable, and when he said irrelevant people, he pointed at Chen An again.

However, his eyes only paused on Chen An, and then fell on Ma Yuexiang on the side, as if he had discovered a new continent, and his eyes lit up.

"I see, I see," Ma Rui suddenly realized: "I said why do you defend this old slave so much, is it not that you two have a hand, I think this girl is strange, my father did not have it before his death, but after my father died, he added a sister to me." Reunited with your family of three, you are in a hurry to send me to death. ”

Silence, as soon as Ma Rui's voice fell in the hall, it was a deathly silence, including Chen An, who was dumbfounded, and couldn't believe that this young man of the Ma family would say such a thing to his biological mother.

The dumb man who came back to his senses first had shame, anger, and pain flashing in his eyes, and his face turned red. I wanted to take down this beast who insulted my mother and taught my mother a good lesson, but I didn't dare to act rashly because of my status as a master and servant.

Just at a loss, I suddenly heard a chirp behind me, and hurriedly looked back, only to see that Mrs. Yu had already rolled her eyes and closed her breath. This change frightened him couldn't care about the rest anymore, so he quickly turned around and helped him up, placed it on the Hu bed, pressed the person to rescue it, and channeled his qi.

Ma Rui was also frightened by this change, a trace of unbearable color flashed on his face, and he hesitated whether to step forward, but when he saw that Mrs. Yu was rescued by the dumb uncle, her breathing gradually smoothed out, her eyelashes began to tremble, and there were signs of waking up again. He gritted his teeth, flicked his sleeves, "hummed", and went out ruthlessly.
