In fact, in the final analysis, this matter is because the resources of the ancient literature school are too few.

Of the fourteen upward channels, the ancient literature school only barely grabbed one, and if the resources could be a little more, it would be more attractive to the scholars of the school.

Unfortunately, this is not likely to happen anytime soon.

Once the modern literary school is willing to let go of a little bit of its own resource confinement, even if it is only a little, those young scholars who are eager to become officials and get ahead will have a great possibility of changing their positions, and there is no psychological burden.

And to put it bluntly, the upper echelons of the ancient literature school did not treat them as members of the ancient literature school.

Except for Liu Bei, no one cared about them.

In this case, they will not have any feelings of betrayal or anything like that, everyone takes what they need, and I will help whoever gives benefits, and no one can blame anyone.

What do you mean by being a little bong first?

This is called the small Fengxian everywhere.

When the upper echelons of the ancient literature school learned of this, they showed some incompetence and anger, and scolded Yang bitterly, but they did not reflect much on themselves.

Fu Qian suggested that everyone should give some resources to the young scholars, so as to buy people's hearts, but the major families who possessed the resources were very stingy about this.

Some people also directly said that it should be the Lu family who should come up with resources, anyway, Lu Zhi has not expanded his family power much for a long time, and now is the time to expand his family power.

Let Lu Zhishang, he has more resources, we have fewer resources, one radish and one pit, don't worry about us.

Isn't this also a good thing for Lu Zhi? It's time for him to prepare some protégés for his family to consolidate his power.

Liu Bei, who witnessed all this, sighed very much.

He felt that sometimes, as a leader, he really couldn't blame himself for having little Fengxian everywhere, they should look for reasons from themselves and see why they were all over the place, but there were no others.

Money and ideals, you have to give one, right?

If you don't give any of them, and you want people to die for you, where do you get the confidence?

There is no way, in this worse world, the ancient literature school is better than the modern literature school on the whole, but in essence, it is still a worm, there are not many people who are willing to give resources, and there are almost only Liu Bei who are willing to give promises.

In the face of this group of insects, Liu Bei really didn't know how to describe them, he could only say that he couldn't do a good job in politics with insects, and it was the most correct behavior to find an opportunity to physically overtake them.

But whether it should be said or not, it is not that giving money and ideals can ensure everyone's loyalty, because when power intervenes, money and ideals have to stand aside a little.

So Liu Bei's own side also suffered some impacts.

A young scholar he was very optimistic about in the secretary of the Ministry of General Affairs, born in Yanzhou, named Ying Qian, he was recruited by the Yang family, so he decided to leave the general affairs department and join the Yang family.

Ying Qian's departure caused a lot of controversy in the Ministry of General Affairs, and some young scholars who were grateful for Liu Bei's kindness were extremely ashamed of Ying Qian, and even did something to him, planning to beat him severely.

Han Hao and Jian Yong had been trying to mobilize manpower to maintain order before Liu Bei arrived, until Liu Bei finally arrived at the General Affairs Department.

Because Liu Bei is different from other upper-class figures in the ancient literature school, he has really been kind and cared for them.

These young scholars could not care about the accusations of other high-ranking figures of the ancient literature school, but in the face of Liu Bei, they felt that they were at a loss.

So in the face of the accusations of his colleagues, Ying Qian did not resist.

After Liu Bei arrived, he chose to apologize to Liu Bei and kneel in front of Liu Bei to be punished by Liu Bei.

If Liu Bei wanted to hit him, he wouldn't fight back.

Liu Bei didn't blame him, but asked him why, and asked him what promise the Yang family gave him to make him so excited.

"He can make me an official, and he does let me embark on a career as an official, he will summon me into the Taiwei Mansion as a lieutenant, although I am still an official in my identity, but I will soon be released as a county commander, and then promoted step by step, and finally I can return to Luoyang, until I become a senior official of Jiuqing."

Ying Qian sat opposite Liu Bei, expressionless, looking directly at Liu Bei.

Liu Bei didn't think it was strange, poured himself a glass of rice wine, and took a sip.

"Is it because he promised you such a future and promised you to be an official?"

"Isn't that enough? Junhou, you should know better than me what is going on with us studying hard and spending so much thought and cost to come to Luoyang. ”

Ying Qian laughed: "Is it just to read and study, and to study the truth of the sage?" No, few people will believe it, we work so hard to be officials and glory and wealth, don't you do the same? ”

"Indeed."

Liu Bei nodded: "But if you do such a thing once, your reputation will not be as good as before, and the people in the Ministry of General Affairs will be hostile to you, and even the people on the Yang side will not treat you seriously, is it okay?" ”

"With my background, compared to the benefits of being an official, this disadvantage is not worth mentioning at all, as long as I can be an official, it is enough."

Ying Qian tried to cover up the bitterness with a smile, but the effect was not good, and the corners of his mouth were not hooked, and his efforts to laugh out failed.

So he gave up and covered his face with his hands.

"Junhou, you have become famous, I don't have such good luck and such strong eloquence, so I can only think about myself, how much effort my father spent to send me to study in Luoyang, I see it all!

I also know that when I left home, my father held my hand tightly and told me that if I want to get ahead, so that I can be worthy of the family, I have no choice, I want to be an official! ”

When he said this, although Ying Qian covered his face, Liu Bei couldn't see his expression clearly, but Liu Bei felt that Ying Qian must not be so comfortable at this moment.

The collision of ideals and reality can always make countless people die.

He Liu is lucky, and the lucky can't be lucky, but should move, without this luck.

"Okay."

Liu Bei sighed and raised his glass: "I won't say much else, I hope you can be proud of your career, soar up, and glorify your ancestors, at least, worthy of your determination today." ”

After a long silence, Ying Qian put down his hands and looked up at Liu Bei.

"Thank you, Prince."

As he spoke, Ying Qian raised the wine glass in front of him, raised his head and drank the rice wine in the glass, then wiped his mouth and said with a smile: "Junhou, I thought you would scold me fiercely, saying that I betrayed the school, that I was a brazen and ruthless person, let me do it for myself or something, and even thought that I would be beaten up by you." ”

"You said it all, so bothering and working hard is just to be an official, and neither the ancient literature school nor I can let you be an official, in that case, what position do we have to accuse you?"

Liu Bei sighed: "In this world, after all, there are too many people who want to be officials, and too few people who can be officials, the ancient literature school can't give you what they can't give you at the moment, and I can't give it to you, you work for us, but we can't give you what you want, this is why we are sorry for you, not that you are sorry for us." ”

Ying Qian was stunned, suddenly his face moved, he straightened his clothes, and solemnly saluted Liu Bei.

"The prince is noble, he will never forget it for the rest of his life, even if he is far away, he will not do anything unfavorable to the prince for the rest of his life, if he violates this oath, heaven and man will kill together!"

Liu Bei nodded slowly, thinking that maybe he could mention him a little more.

"The reason why you will be accepted by the Yang family is not because of how amazing and brilliant you are, but because of the existence of the ancient literature school and the threat posed by the ancient literature school to the modern literature school, if there is no threat from the ancient literature school, you will not be recruited by the Yang family.

Therefore, don't see the Yang family as a benefactor for your future, don't die for the Yang family, don't thank the Yang family wholeheartedly, that is a stupid act, the Yang family is using you, you must also learn to use the Yang family.

You have to work hard to drill the camp, and strive to climb up with the help of Yang's help, what Yang gives you, don't be modest, what Yang doesn't give you, you have to grab it yourself, since you have done such a thing, don't regret it, let alone suffer losses. ”

Ying Qian was stunned when he heard this.

After a long while, Ying Qian took a deep breath, left his seat, walked in front of Liu Bei, and bowed respectfully.

"You should be taught!"

"Don't dare to be."

"Farewell!"

"No."
