Guozijian occupies a small area, not to mention that compared with Yingtianfu Academy, it is inferior to Jinling Academy, and it is slightly larger than Hangzhou Academy.

However, if you count the number of people in the country, you will feel that this area is too large.

Because since the establishment of the Dali Dynasty, the number of Guozijian has never exceeded one hundred, and it has basically remained between seventy or eighty.

Among them is a national child sacrificial wine. In charge of all the laughing things of the Guozijian, it is roughly equivalent to the dean of the academy, and at the same time serving as a second-grade official in the imperial court!

Two Confucians. Needless to say, the identity of the great Confucian, each of them is a highly respected person, and they are the masters of the dynasty, which is enough to start a sect, even if they are no longer officials in the court, even if the first-class officials see them, they will be very polite.

Teaching assistants, Doctor of the Five Classics, and more than 10 people. Doctors are slightly inferior in knowledge and experience to the great Confucians, but they must be proficient in a certain aspect, and they are already comparable to the great Confucians in the aspects they are good at! For example, the doctors of Yi, poetry, calligraphy, rites, and the Spring and Autumn Five Classics have all studied to the extreme in their respective fields.

Except for the sacrificial wine, the great Confucian, and the doctor, the rest are students.

It's just that these students have a completely different meaning from ordinary college students.

Generally speaking, those who can be students in Guozijian are those who have not yet entered the official ranks, even the students of Ying Tianfu Academy, which is the first of the four major academies in the world, only have a reputation for raising people, but they are only the best among the people, and only the most talented people can enter Yingtianfu Academy.

These students, once they are awarded by the imperial court as officials, they are no longer students of the academy.

As for Guozijian, most of the students in it were already officials in the imperial court, ranging from seventh-rank officials to fifth-rank officials. If you can't be included in the Guozijian before you are an official, you must have extraordinary talent in a certain aspect and have a great effect on the imperial court.

It can be in the law, in the craftsman, in calligraphy, in arithmetic, and so on.

In addition to the fact that many of the policies and laws of the Dali Dynasty were discussed by the Son of Heaven and many ministers in the court, the specific implementation and improvement of them were the tasks of the Guozijian.

Therefore, when Xu Xian wrote the simple idea of "Tea and Horse Market" in the township examination room, the Son of Heaven no longer let him enter Ying Tianfu Academy after reading it, but directly reported to Dao Guozijian!

There were no people coming and going, and the gate of the compound seemed slightly depressed, and there were only two soldiers standing guard.

After all, for most people, Guozijian is a real deep mansion compound, somewhat similar to a palace, which ordinary people can't reach at all.

"Stop!" Seeing Xu Xianxun touching him, the soldier immediately stopped.

Xu Xian was not in a hurry, and after making his intentions clear, the two soldiers who had been putting on an iron-faced and selfless face were suddenly startled, and hurriedly and respectfully introduced Xu Xian into the courtyard, and one of them even rushed in to report the news.

His Majesty the Emperor stipulated that Xu Xian must report to Guozijian within a month, and Guozijian naturally received the holy decree a long time ago, and the top and bottom were already looking forward to Xu Xian's arrival.

Walking into the vermilion gate, the world is suddenly very different, and the depression outside the door is different, the courtyard, pavilion, garden and various buildings inside the door are scattered, even if it is winter, you can still see a lot of green, and there are bursts of plum blossom fragrance coming to your nose.

"Hahaha, Xu Hanwen, you have finally entered Beijing!"

As soon as Xu Xian looked around, he heard a familiar loud laugh coming from the other side of the garden. When I turned my head, I saw a man about fifty years old, still in good spirits, elegant and calm, striding forward.

This person is the chief examiner of the Jiangnan Talent Literature Conference held in Jinling City, and Li Yuanhui, a great Confucian in the dynasty!

"Master Li?" Xu Xian was also surprised, he didn't expect that when he came to the capital, the first acquaintance he saw was not Xu Zhengqing, the former scholar of Hangzhou Prefecture, nor Fang Zhongyong, who had already returned to Beijing, or Duan Wang Zhao Ji, but the Confucian Li Yuanhui, who originally rated himself as the first genius in Jiangnan.

For the great Confucian Li Yuanhui, Xu Xian naturally has a deep memory and is grateful.

At the beginning of the Jiangnan Genius Literary Society, Xu Zhengqing's former friend has now fallen to Jiang Shilang, who is a member of the appeasement faction, and he is deliberately trying to deal with himself, and even wants to misinterpret the meaning of the poem "The merchant girl does not know the hatred of the country, and she still sings the flowers of the backyard across the river", saying that this poem is a great disrespect to the current court and the emperor, and he wants to put himself in prison! Li Yuanhui resolutely stood on Xu Xian's side, not giving an inch, and the two were at a stalemate. In the end, Yue Fei and Yue Pengju happened to pass by, so they suppressed Jiang Shilang.

"I originally thought that after I arrived in the capital, I would have time to visit Master Li again in the future. I didn't expect it to be such a coincidence today, and Master Li was also in Guozijian. Xu Xian smiled and bowed.

"This is not a coincidence!" Li Yuanhui waved his hand and laughed for a while before he realized what was going on.

It turned out that Li Yuanhui's official position was one of the two great Confucians in charge of Guozijian!

"The last time I was at the Jinling Jiangnan Talent Society, I originally thought that even if you entered Beijing, you would be studying at Yingtianfu Academy, so I didn't tell you my identity. How do you know that only a short year has passed, and you have been hand-picked by His Majesty to report on the Guozijian! At such a young age, you can be called the youngest since the establishment of the Guozijian!"

Li Yuanhui couldn't help but sigh.

"It's just a fluke. Xu Xian said.

"There is no fluke to be able to enter the Guozijian. Li Yuanhui snorted, "I have already read your 'Tea and Horse Market' in the court, but you kid didn't go to the capital again, but many officials in the capital quarreled for you. ”

Speaking of this, Li Yuanhui was interested, and subconsciously wanted to pull Xu Xian and talk about the policy on the tea and horse market.

But as soon as he spoke, he shook his head again, and said quite cautiously: "Forget it, let's wait until tomorrow when you go to the palace and report to Your Majesty, let's make a statement to Your Majesty first." ”

Tea and horses are in the market, but it is a policy related to the capital of the dynasty, and His Majesty attaches great importance to it.

No one can say what such a national policy will be in the end. Before this, the specific trial plan was absolutely confidential, and he, Li Yuanhui, could not inquire in advance.

"Hanwen, you haven't come to the capital yet, have you?" asked Li Yuanhui.

Xu Xian shook his head and said, "No." After arriving today, I ate something not far from the city gate, and then came to Guozijian to report. ”

"Thankfully not. After entering the country, if there is no place to stay in the capital, the college will arrange accommodation, the conditions are very good, much better than the inn outside. Li Yuanhui said with a smile. "Let's go, I'll take you to your lodgings first. ”

Most of the people who can be admitted to Guozijian are already court officials, and naturally they are not comparable to the students of ordinary academies.

Food, clothing, housing and transportation, the imperial court will be responsible.
