Hanzhu Academy is the cornerstone of the cultural context of the Fei family in Lead Mountain.

Since the beginning of business, Fei Shi has built a "Hanzhu Private School", and through the caravan continued to purchase books from Fujian and Zhejiang. One hundred years ago, the "Hanzhu Private School" was expanded into the "Hanzhu Academy", and more than 40 officials have walked out of here.

The academy belongs to the Henglin Fei family, and each general branch raises funds to operate every year, and at the same time allows children with foreign surnames to study.

If a good seedling is found, no matter what his surname is, Fei will invest in training.

Don't look at the Fei family for two generations, but in recent years, the students with foreign surnames who have been funded have produced one Jinshi and four lifters!

Aboard.

Qin Xin, Jian Guts, Wine Spirit, and Hu Mengtai's servant Le Rong, the four little children are playing mahjong.

Wei Jianxiong hugged the wrought iron rod and slept in the cabin.

Zhao Han is reading carefully, and the "Spring and Autumn" brought by Hu Mengtai is a little difficult to read.

At least Zhao Han can't read it as a storybook, even if there are annotations in the book, those names of people and places give him a headache.

Cabin.

Hu Mengtai sighed: "My father is moved, and he really wants to donate 5,000 taels of silver to get a big county magistrate for me!" ”

"He Wei Zhaocheng, a mere governor, has the ability to sell officials on a large scale?" Fei Yinghuan shook his head and sneered, "Anyway, I don't believe it." ”

Hu Mengtai said: "My father guessed that the resurgence of the Lin Party in the Middle East of the DPRK was probably in urgent need of a large amount of money. This Wei Zhaocheng is just a pawn, and I am afraid that most of the income from selling officials will have to pay tribute. ”

Fei Yinghuan asked: "In their hands, are there really so many official vacancies in big counties?" ”

Hu Mengtai said: "The Donglin Party is now in control of the southern Beijing Chacha, and there must be a lot of official vacancies in their hands. Brother Zhao's family is also in business, and many times he doesn't need to clear his money and goods. Wei Zhaocheng sold 20 county magistrates in Jiangxi, and according to 5,000 taels of silver, he could receive 100,000 taels of snowflake silver. He can only cash in two or three, and the rest of the excuses are waiting for the waitlist, and it is not considered to be a backtrack. In this way, after opening up the market, you can also sit on the ground and start the price, and whoever gives more money will give it to whoever is really lacking. ”

Fei Yinghuan suddenly realized and exclaimed: "Can it still work like this?" Wouldn't he have earned thirty or fifty scholars to buy official silver with only three or five real shortages! This kind of thing is not visible, and those who can pay to buy officials also have to save face, even if they find out that they have been deceived, they dare not speak out. ”

Hu Mengtai said with a smile: "Whoever pays the money to buy the official first, it will be easier to get the real shortage, which can be regarded as the 'horse bone' given by Wei Zhaocheng." ”

Fei Yinghuan couldn't cry or laugh: "Such a business wizard, what kind of official is he still doing?" Doing business early is a great thing for the country and yourself! ”

Hu Mengtai said again: "If Brother Dazhao wants to donate officials, he has to hurry up, and now the secretary is Wang Yongguang." ”

"Wang Yongguang still dares to move left and right?" Fei Yinghuan shook his head repeatedly.

Hu Mengtai said: "Your Majesty, if you slightly show your dissatisfaction with the Donglin Party, Wang Yongguang's temperament will inevitably strike back." ”

Fei Yinghuan thought about it carefully and had to admit: "It's true. ”

The two people who have not yet stepped into the officialdom can see Wang Yongguang so thoroughly, firstly because they have intelligence sources, and secondly, because Wang Yongguang is too famous.

In the first year of Taichang, this person spoke up, offended many powerful people, and his position was biased towards the Donglin Party.

In the third year of the Apocalypse, this person was involved in Guihai Jingcha, fell out with the Donglin Party, and was forced to resign and return to his hometown.

In the fifth year of the Apocalypse, this person was used by Wei Zhongxian and worked hard to cling to the eunuch party.

In the sixth year of the Apocalypse, this person took advantage of the Wang Gongchang explosion case to suddenly attack Wei Zhongxian, and Shangshu asked for the return of the vote and helped several Donglin Party bigwigs to say good things. dismissed.

In the first year of Chongzhen, that is, this year, this person was used by the Donglin Party, and he became a secretary of the Ministry of Officials all of a sudden.

Repeatedly jumping sideways, its left and right moving skills, dazzling, no one knows which side of this goods is.

You say that he tends to be inflammatory, and people are not afraid of the powerful.

When the Donglin Party was in decline, he helped the Donglin Party speak. When the Donglin Party was the strongest, he fell out with the Donglin Party. When Wei Zhongxian was just rising, don't cling to the eunuch party with a face. When Wei Zhongxian's power was monstrous, he stood up for the Donglin Party, and clamored for Wei Zhongxian to hand over the cabinet power.

According to this law, now that the Donglin Party is in the limelight, it is time for Wang Yongguang to jump back again.

Historically, the Donglin Party cabinet of the Chongzhen Dynasty was collapsed by Wang Yongguang and Zhou and Wen...... This is a-stirring stick that runs through the party struggle at the end of the Ming Dynasty, as long as you don't feel disgusting, then it's someone else who is disgusting!

Although Fei Yinghuan and Hu Mengtai live in Jiangxi, they have to read Tang Bao every month to understand the situation between the DPRK and China.

Every time they read the big news about Wang Yongguang, they were completely confused, and they couldn't understand what Wang Yongguang wanted to do.

Hu Mengtai said: "I went to Hanzhu Mountain to retreat and study this time in order to stop my father's move to buy officials. I have sworn at the Hu clan ancestral hall that after three years, I will not be able to enter the Jinshi, so I will return to Hanzhu Mountain to continue the retreat! ”

"Youli is ambitious, and the foolish brother will accompany you to study hard...... Two months! Fei Yinghuan made up her mind.

Hu Mengtai said with a smile: "For Brother Jokhang, two months has not been easy. ”

Ships docked.

Zhao Han put down the book of "Spring and Autumn" and handed it back to Hu Mengtai's servant, this thing was not explained by the teacher, and it was impossible to be self-taught.

No wonder Guan Erye has been reading "Spring and Autumn" all his life, this book can be read for several lifetimes.

Carrying a bookcase in his hand, Zhao Han followed everyone forward and took a slow walk to Hanzhu Mountain.

The private school is at the bottom of the mountain, and none of its students have been admitted to Xiucai.

The academy is halfway up the mountain, and only those who have meritorious service can go up the mountain to study.

The scale of Hanzhu Private School is not large, there are only a few classrooms, and each classroom can seat 20 or 30 students. There is also a library building, as well as student dormitories, and students who are far away from home can choose to stay in the dormitory.

Zhao Han came to the private school courtyard and saw that a few of the students in the classroom were dressed extremely shabby, and they were even barefoot in late autumn. He couldn't help asking, "Uncle Wei, can poor children study for free?" ”

Wei Jianxiong nodded and said, "As long as you have the ambition to learn, you can come to Hanzhu Mountain to study." There is no tuition fee, but you need to bring your own books, pen and ink. There is really a prodigy who has never forgotten, and Fei will definitely sponsor him to gain fame. ”

In the land south of the Yangtze River, the literary style is extremely prosperous, and the literacy rate is very high.

is the slave of the Fei family, and if you pick out a few at random, half of them can read popular novels.

According to the diaries of Korean literati, as early as the middle of the Ming Dynasty, they were able to communicate in Jiangnan by writing. Not in the north, the Korean literati say that if you look for a few more passers-by in the south of the Yangtze River, you will always find someone who is literate, while the north may not see you all day.

The same is true here in Lead Mountain, since Hanzhu Academy is free of tuition, they are happy to send their children to study. Even if you can't get into Xiucai, you can be a house slave and a buddy for Fei's family, and you can often get preferential treatment if you can read and write.

Fei Yinghuan rested in the pavilion for a while, and his stupid son was brought.

Fei Ruhe is a little chubby, not fat, but fat. The goods trotted over, kowtowed and shouted: "I've seen my father, I've seen my cousin (Hu Mengtai)!" ”

In front of his son, Fei Yinghuan was very serious, and said with a serious expression: "Where did you read your homework?" ”

Fei Ruhe replied: "I have learned the "Ji Chapter". ”

Fei Yinghuan was suddenly furious: "After several years of enlightenment, you are still learning the Analects? ”

The four books have a study order, in order: "The University", "Analects", "Mencius", and "The Mean".

After studying for a few years, I am still learning the Analects, and my IQ is really a little touching......

Fei Ruhe knelt on the ground and didn't dare to speak, his eyes glanced at Hu Mengtai with a sneaky eye, hoping that his cousin could help with a few kind words.

Hu Mengtai laughed but didn't say anything, and even held back his laughter.

Fei Yinghuan had a headache, and he didn't want to bother to say any more, so he only said: "I found a scholar for you and read with you." He hasn't finished reading the four books, if he overtakes you one day, Lao Tzu will definitely break your legs with his own hands! ”

Fei Ruhe muttered: "I already have a scholar." ”

Fei Yinghuan scolded: "Your academic progress is slow, and the scholar is also to blame, I'll change you to a better one!" ”

Fei Ruhe begged: "Father, Fei Chun is very good, there is no need to change it." If you change to a new child, the child will inevitably not adapt to it, and I am afraid that it will be more difficult to study in the future. ”

There's some fucking truth to that.

Fei Yinghuan thought for a while and said, "Then don't change, just one more scholar." Zhao Han came over and got to know the little master! ”

Zhao Han stepped forward and arched his hand: "I've seen the little young master." ”

Fei Ruhe looked up at Zhao Han, and was suddenly unhappy: "You are my scholar, why am you still standing there when I kneel?" Kneel with me! ”

Zhao Han replied: "I was sent by Gongzi to urge the little young master to study, not to accompany the little young master to kneel." ”

Fei Ruhe immediately complained: "Father, this scholar is disobedient, quickly drive him away!" ”

Fei Yinghuan was very satisfied and smiled: "That's how it should be." Zhao Han, in the future, the little master is greedy for fun, you can teach him a lesson for me. As long as you don't kill or cripple or break the phase, you can fight whatever you want! ”

"Yes!" Zhao Han gave up.

Fei Ruhe was dumbfounded, feeling that he would not have a good time in the future.
