Chapter 354: The Spring of the Scholastic Family

The nobles, heroes, and big officials are separated, and the first generation is considered to be brothers at the beginning, even if they are different from each other, but there is still some family affection. The main family still has a lot of control over those branches.

Of course, the royal family is aware of this problem, so there were additions to the Huai Law that year, and after the separation, even if they set up their own door, even the patriarch of the clan could not interfere.

In order to prevent the lord from using the power of the patriarch to control the branches, or annex the branches. It's also an opportunity for the branch to stand on their own feet.

The previous generation can still rely on the previous power to control, but when the older generation is dead, it will be difficult to control it.

This situation is naturally what Wang Jing wants.

These branches do not want to be controlled by the master's family, and the best way is to become officials of the great cadres. It is not easy to become an official in Daqian.

The way to raise filial piety is basically not to think about it, those masters are not stupid, how can they give the branch this opportunity, even if they want to raise filial piety, it is also for the main family to use, how can it not be the turn of the branch.

All those who want to be officials can only choose a few other methods, become a soldier, make military achievements, and immediately become a marquis, or enter the school palace, pass the assessment, and enter the officialdom.

If you want to climb step by step from a small soldier to the level of a feudal marquis, a few lives for ordinary people are not enough. More than nine out of ten people can't do that.

So there is only one way to do it, and that is the Palace of Learning.

There are many schools in the school palace, and there are many directions to choose from, not to mention that most of these people are literate. If you have talent, you will naturally have a chance to get ahead.

Thousands of houses have been built in the Great Qianguo Prison to provide students to come to study, although there are many ordinary people among them, but there are also many powerful and noble concubines.

The various schools competed in the palace in order to be able to turn their doctrines into official schools, so they spared no effort in the cultivation of disciples.

Filial piety is mostly selected from the nobles and officials, and the school palace is selected from tens of millions of people in the world, these talents have been taught by many school teachers, and the overall talent is still good, even higher than that of filial piety.

Although the nobles and officials are noble, their descendants are uneven, and there are countless people with wine bags and rice bags.

Now the officials born with filial piety can occupy an advantage in the court, and even ninety percent of the high-ranking officials and dignitaries such as the Three Princes and the Nine Secretaries are filial piety, but with the passage of time, the number of officials in the school palace will increase.

In fact, since the expansion of the school palace and the strong support of the imperial court, many nobles and officials have also begun to study various classics. These people already have family education, coupled with the knowledge in the palace, most of them have achieved something.

The imperial court opened the palace to give thousands of people a chance, but this didn't give the nobles and officials a chance.

There are all kinds of school classics and doctrines in the school palace, and as long as you are willing to learn, you can learn it.

The nobles and officials have money, time, and even famous teachers, and they can almost be said to have fed their food to their mouths, and if they can't compete in this case, then they deserve to decline.

In the real history, the Tang Dynasty perfected the imperial examination system, and at the beginning of the imperial examination, how did those poor students compete with the wealthy families? It is only after generations of development that Hanmen can rely on a larger number of bases to surpass little by little.

In the school palace, in order to compete, various schools have accepted more outstanding disciples, and many people have begun to go to various schools in Daqian to give lectures.

With the help of lectures, these people found malleable talents from the state and county school palaces, and then accepted them as disciples and taught them carefully.

The schools of thought are well aware that if they want to prosper for a long time, they must find excellent disciples. Some even left the palace to give lectures outside.

Although the imperial court stipulated that the county school was free to study, there were still many families who were unwilling to let their children go to the school palace for various reasons.

Even in the modern society of the previous life, nine years of compulsory education, tuition waivers and exemptions, and even subsidized meals, there are still people who do not go to school, let alone this era?

These people went to various county towns and even the countryside to give lectures and find intelligent disciples, and many even opened private schools.

Among them, Confucianism has the most private learning. On the one hand, Confucianism has this tradition, and on the other hand, Confucianism is more appealing.

The future depicted is even more desirable, in contrast to the gradual decline of the Mo family.

During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, there were three major scholars in the world, Confucianism, and Mohistism. Legalism is supported by the imperial court and is still thriving, Confucianism is slightly weaker, only Mohist, after the separation from the Gewu school, the Mohist is getting weaker and weaker.

The Mohists' demand for love and non-aggression was not liked by the imperial court, and their requirement to wear sackcloth and bare feet was also difficult for people from middle and upper class backgrounds to accept.

As for the Gewu School, it has basically been completely cut off from the Mo family by now, and it has concentrated on studying various utensils and techniques.

The vast majority of the branches divided by the nobles, the powerful, and the big officials entered the school palace. Another advantage of entering the academy is that they can copy a large number of classics.

These books and knowledge can be passed on to future generations. If there is no outstanding person in the generation of the children in the family, the next generation can also be cultivated.

Many people have discovered that, compared to other things, knowledge can be accumulated from generation to generation and left to future generations, there are books, people, and money, and the prototype of a scholarly family has gradually begun to take shape.

Teachers of various schools who traveled to various places to give lectures soon discovered another benefit, as the number of disciples they educated increased, the greater their prestige. Even though they did not hold any official positions in the imperial court, they often held a higher status than many officials.

Sometimes, the power of fame is so powerful that even an official position can't match.

These people with great fame have become celebrities, although they are not as good as the sons of the hundred schools of pre-Qin, but they also have a very high influence.

And after these celebrities are combined with their own families, they have all kinds of classics, and even interpretations of classics, as long as the people of these families are not stupid, they will educate excellent disciples, so these celebrities have become a family of scholars.

Wang Jing didn't expect that the combination of the school palace and the division of family and property orders that the royal family had been promoting would actually produce such an effect.

After the birth of the scholarly family, the speed of development is far from being comparable to that of Xungui, after all, Xungui needs to make military exploits and be rewarded by the imperial court. But in this world, there are not wars every day, and only a few people can make great contributions after all.

In real history, because of the difficulty in acquiring knowledge, the development speed was slow, but in this life, there was the support of the imperial court, and the shackles restricting the scholastic family were gone.
