On Liuyuan Street in Fengtian City, where ordinary people live, in a simple house, a man's angry voice was heard: "Why didn't you go to the academy today? ”

A teenager replied weakly: "I won't study anymore, and I want to make a stall with Daddy." ”

A crisp slap sounded instantly, and the man hated iron and said: "Who is Master Qin, being able to learn from him is a blessing that you have cultivated for several lifetimes, and you still dare to skip class for Lao Tzu?"

Lao Tzu needs your help with the stall? If you can study hard with Master Qin and step into the Wensheng Dao system, he is better than anything else!

Go and apologize to Master Qin tomorrow, and then give Lao Tzu a good study, do you understand? ”

"I'm not going." The boy replied stubbornly.

When the man heard this, he was angry, he looked around, picked up a feather duster from the corner of the room, pointed at the young man and shouted: "You tell Lao Tzu again, do you want to go?" ”

The boy sat on his knees, his head bowed, his hands pinching his thighs, and his body trembled slightly.

It was not because he was afraid of his father's angry punishment, but because he wanted to cry aggrievedly.

"No, no." The teenager's attitude is still resolute.

Syllable!

The feather duster fell on the boy, and just listening to the sound knew that it must be very painful.

But the young man gritted his teeth and didn't say a word, just silently endured.

Seeing this, the man struck the feather duster in his hand again and again, and scolded angrily in his mouth: "It's okay if you don't like it outside, you are still so unhappy when you come back."

At the beginning, you wanted to let you learn martial arts, but you didn't want to, saying that you wanted to study.

Okay, you have to study, Lao Tzu let you go to study, those dogs in the Guozi Prison don't treat the people as people, and you can still endure going on the road in the middle of the night every day to study.

Now that Master Qin has created the Hanmen Academy to give you a place to study with peace of mind, it's good that you're not happy to go? ”

Maybe it's because of resentment, or maybe it's because of frustration, the man doesn't take it seriously.

The scars and blood stains on the boy's body even penetrated through his clothes.

The woman on the side couldn't bear to look at it anymore, and hurriedly stopped the man, and then protected the young man distressedly: "Don't fight, don't fight anymore!" ”

"Get out of the way, I have to kill this rabbit cub today!" The man was furious.

While protecting the young man with her body, the woman asked with red eyes, "Zhi'er, don't you like Master Qin and Hanmen Academy the most?" Why are you suddenly reluctant to go, but what is the problem? ”

This young man is Han Zhi, who left Guozijian at the beginning, the first batch of students to step into Hanmen Academy, and he is also the person who has the deepest feelings for the academy.

The man gasped and scolded angrily: "What kind of hardship can this rabbit cub have, it is obvious that he is afraid of hardship, and Lao Tzu sees that he wants to study, but he is just talking." ”

These words pierced Han Zhi's heart, he raised his head and red eyes, as if to vent his inner grievances, he almost shouted: "Because I don't want to see those people go to my father's shop to make trouble again, don't they just want me to go to Hanmen Academy?"

I know all these things."

The man was stunned when he heard this, the feather duster slipped from his hand, the anger on his face slowly subsided, and his expression became complicated: "Your mother told you?" ”

The woman shook her head and looked at the boy suspiciously.

Han Zhi replied: "It was Zhuzi who told me, when he left Hanmen Academy, I went to ask him the reason.

Then I went outside my father's stall and saw those officials making things difficult for my father.

Zhu Zi said that as long as he left the Hanmen Academy, those officials would not come again. ”

When the man heard this, he didn't know what to say, the reason why he hid it was that he hoped that the child would study hard, step into the Wensheng Dao system as soon as possible, and have a means to settle down in this world.

But after all, paper can't contain fire.

"It's useless for Dad." The man's right fist slammed into the wall on the side, and the wall was naturally fine, but the skin of the man's right hand was dripping with blood.

Han Zhi hurriedly got up and comforted: "Dad, in fact, I didn't leave Hanmen Academy entirely for this reason.

I also thought about it carefully, even though I could step into the Nine Grades of the Wensheng through reading, but the low-grade Wensheng Daoist was just a weak reader.

And I can't predict what level of cultivation I will be able to reach in the future.

In this case, it is better to help you, subsidize the family, and learn a means of making a living earlier. ”

"Zhi'er, what do you really think?" The woman asked.

Han Zhi nodded and bit his lip tightly, because he was afraid that tears would fall.

"Since Senior Brother Yang already knew the reason, why didn't he tell me earlier?" By the window outside the house, Qin Feng clenched his fists, suppressing his anger.

Yang Qian on the side replied, "What can you tell you?" Solve the problem of the officials? Let the students return to Hanmen Academy? ”

"Naturally!"

Yang Qian denied: "Even if you solve this group of officials, there will be other officials. ”

"Then find out the people behind the scenes and solve the problem fundamentally." Qin Feng said in a deep voice.

Yang Qian shook his head: "I might as well tell you directly, the person who makes these officials make things difficult for the students is the magistrate of this place, and that magistrate county is from the Guozijian of the Haowen Academy."

In the Guozijian, there are many people who don't like the Hanmen Academy, do you still want to confront the entire Guozijian? ”

When Qin Feng heard this, his heart sank, and the confrontation with Guozijian was also relative to the confrontation with most of the officialdom.

After all, most of the officials in today's court have climbed up from the Guozi Prison.

"If you take 10,000 steps back, even if no one makes it difficult for these students, they will definitely continue to learn?

You also heard what Han Zhi said, from this incident, he has seen the future of the Hanmen scholars.

As I told you last time, as long as the problem of no way to study is not solved, it is only a matter of time before the students leave. ”

Qin Feng opened his mouth, his anger was extinguished by a deep sense of powerlessness, how could he not know this truth?

Let ordinary people have books to read, and let those who are literate and sage popularize the world, in the end, it is just an ideal.

However, there is an unbridgeable gap between ideals and reality.

For ordinary people, living is the top priority, if there is no hope for what they are working hard for, where is the need to continue to persevere?

It's just a waste of time.

"Senior Brother Yang, is it true that a scholar from a poor family has no future?" Qin Feng raised a question in his heart.

Yang Qian sighed: "I have thought about this question for a long time with Senior Brother Fei, but in the end, I have become a literati who sits in the Heavenly Tower all day long, only caring about reading the books of sages and sages.

And Senior Brother Fei also saw it completely, and no longer thought of stepping into the court to change the way of the world.

It's not that the two of us don't want to, but we can't do it.

Unless the system of electing officials is changed, the poor scholars are destined to have no future.

However, the idea that nepotism and officials are all powerful has long been ingrained, and how easy is it to change? ”

"Official election system" Qin Feng fell into deep thought.
