Traveling through Chenghan Xiandi, fortunately I have a simulator

Chapter 152
Lucai Academy
"Yuan Zhi, are you going to Chang'an too?" Meng Jian asked Xu Shu, who was packing his things.

"Gongwei, you know me. In the past, I loved dancing with guns and clubs. After encountering some things, I turned to study and came to Lucai Academy." Xu Shu slowly explained.

During Xu Shu's one-year stay at Lucai Academy, he also made some friends, among which he had the best relationship with Meng Jian.

"This time the imperial court restarted Taixue, and there is no restriction on identity. You only need to pass the Chang'an election to become a Taixue student. I have been studying everywhere these years. Although Lucai Academy is good, I have mastered all the knowledge taught. I will continue to stay here It doesn't make any sense, why don't you go to Taixue to have a look." Xu Shu sighed.

Over the years, apart from ordinary colleges like Lucai College, most of the good colleges have strict admission standards. For example, Yingchuan College actually needs a letter of recommendation. With Xu Shu's relationship, he wants to get a great Confucian, aristocratic family. A letter of recommendation is easier said than done.

In the early years of Taixue, Taixue students who wanted to become a doctoral student or a great Confucian student, or even a doctoral student, actually needed a letter of recommendation. impossible things.

However, in this restart of Taixue, under the instruction of the emperor, Cai Yong abolished the recommendation letter system. Even doctors and Confucians have to participate in lectures. Written in the edict, because it is also a huge temptation for poor students.

Of course, Cai Yong was in charge of these specific affairs, Zhang Ming was only instructing, but fortunately, he had rescued Cai Yong from Wang Yun at the beginning, and he was kind to Cai Yong in saving his life, so his instruction, as long as he did not If it is too much, Cai Yong is willing to try it, and Cai Yong himself is not a pedantic person, and many less radical measures have already been moved to Taixue.

"Yuan Zhi, I'm going to Chang'an, do you have anything else to say?" Meng Jian said.

In fact, Meng Jian also wanted to go to Chang'an Taixue, but he had a deep relationship with Lucai Academy, and he didn't know much about Taixue, so he hesitated and chose to stay in the academy.

"Gongwei, I will definitely come back after I finish my studies, or Gongwei can also go to Chang'an to study together in the future." Yuan Zhi said lightly.

"Okay, then I'll wait for the good news for my brother." Meng Jian helped Xu Shu pack his luggage while talking, and secretly stuffed some money in Xu Shu's package.

"Let's go, brother, wait for my good news." Xu Shu looked at the packed luggage. It was a long way to go, and he needed to set off immediately.

Yingchuan College
"Dean, the imperial court actually restarted Taixue, and this time it does not restrict the origin of Taixue students. It is really surprising." Xun Yu's elder brother Xun Yan said.

Now the dean of Yingchuan College is Xun Yu's father, and Xun Yan's father at the same time. He is Xun Yu among the Xun family's eight dragons.Although he is Xun Yan's father, in the academy, Tong Tong still addresses him as the dean.

"That's right, the father who was your father back then was the reason why your grandfather established Yingchuan Academy. It was because the imperial court enforced the party policy that scholars could not be officials for life. That's why Yingchuan Academy was established, and later it became a place where talents from all over the world gathered. Place."

"At first I thought that this situation would last forever, but I didn't expect that one day, the imperial court would want to reform the Taixue. This surprised my father." Xun Wei said lightly.

Over the years, under the management of Xun Tiao, Yingchuan Academy has grown stronger and stronger, and even because there are too many people studying, Yingchuan Academy has to adopt the recommendation letter system, but even so, there are many people who come here to study.

Yingchuan Academy has produced many talents over the years, such as Xun Yu, Xun Chen, Xun You, Guo Jia, Xi Zhicai, Chen Qun, etc. These talents have gone to the princes to find a place to live.

Xun Yu is already coordinating the rear for Cao Cao, Xun You is Cao Cao's number one strategist, Guo Jia is Cao Cao's favorite counselor, Xun Chen is Yuan Shao's counselor, and others have many places to go.

Of course, there were also those who came to the imperial court, such as the court official Zhong Yao, who also came out of Yingchuan Academy.

"Dean, these days, the students of the academy are discussing the matter of the imperial court's resumption of the Taixue, but most of them still have a contemptuous attitude towards the imperial court. After all, the imperial court has been unfriendly to the scholars many times over the years, which makes this group The student resolutely chose my Yingchuan Academy." Xun Yan said with luck.

During the reigns of Emperor Huan and Emperor Ling, there were two rebellions of the party. The so-called rebellion of the party was that the scholar-officials and nobles expressed their dissatisfaction with the government's heavy use of eunuchs, which led to disorderly government, and thus had party disputes with the eunuchs.

However, the eunuchs won a complete victory in these two times of party chaos, and imprisoned scholars for life for the crime of "partisan". The imperial court was an official, but chose to go to various academies to avoid disasters. It was precisely because of this that private schools emerged in the late Eastern Han Dynasty.

However, this time the imperial court was uncharacteristically, and almost all the matters of restarting Taixue were handed over to scholars. The three gongs and nine ministers are all scholars. Let these scholars feel a different warmth.

Maybe the emperor was emptied by scholars?Xun Wei shook his head. According to the news he got, the new emperor still had some tricks, and he didn't look like someone who had been ostracized.

"Xun Yan, let the students of the academy study more during this time, and don't discuss this kind of thing every day. I'll see the situation of the court first and make further plans." Xun Yan said to Xun Yan.

"Yes, Dean." Xun Yan replied seriously.

Students in Yingchuan Academy can naturally despise the Taixue opened by the imperial court, but those students who have nowhere to study think otherwise. Most of them were rejected because they did not get a letter of recommendation. Now the imperial court Now that Taixue has been opened, there is no need for them to die here anymore.

What's more, the imperial edict said that this time the Great Confucianism, the doctor will teach in person, as long as he can become an imperial student, everyone will have the opportunity to see the Great Confucianism, the doctor, this is no better than this group of people begging here, but they can't even meet many doctoral disciples Just come.

Jingzhou Xiangyang Academy
"Father, I don't want to go to Chang'an Taixue, please." Pang Tong cried.

"No, hurry up and come back with Weifu, this time no matter what, Weifu will send you to Taixue." Pang Tong's father said.

"You see, it's so difficult for me to study in Xiangyang Academy. If I want to enter the Imperial Academy, I still need to participate in the Chang'an election. I don't have that ability." Pang Tong continued to cry while being dragged back.

"It's fine if other people can't see it. How can my father not see it? My father heard that you have just come to Xiangyang College for about half a year, and you have learned everything taught by the teacher. Just because of this, you still want to deceive your father." Pang Tong's father continued.

"Uncle Wu told me the secret again. If it wasn't for my young age, I would have wanted to replace him a long time ago." Pang Tong said still indomitably.

"Don't think about it, this time I will go to the Imperial Academy, as my father will let your fifth uncle accompany you." Pang Tong's father said with a smile.

"Father, can't I go?" Pang Tong was at his wit's end.

Over the years, Pang Tong was a simple boy and did not look smart on the surface, but his father placed all the family's hopes on him, so he took him to study everywhere. In order to avoid the demands of his family, Pang Tong also pretended to be A stupid look.

It's just that Pang Tong is still young after all, how can he hide his love for knowledge, so it is still extremely easy to show his feet, which is why the above scene was triggered.

Under Pang Tong's helpless expression, his father finally sent him to the carriage to Chang'an, accompanied by his fifth uncle. Of course, there were other students from Xiangyang Academy who went to Chang'an this time.

This kind of phenomenon happened in every corner of the Han Dynasty. No matter in which era, there were parents who hoped that their son would become a dragon. More students, whether they were willing or unwilling, were sent to the carriage to Chang'an.

This is the appeal of Taixue in the Han Dynasty. In the past, Taixue’s appeal to students was even greater than that of the imperial court to scholars. When Taixue flourished, there were as many as [-] people studying in Taixue.

However, since the death of Emperor Ling, Taixue has been abandoned for several years. In recent years, no matter whether it is a student, a doctor, or a great Confucian, they all left Taixue to find another way out.

Now the news of Taixue's restart has been completely spread among the students. Whether they are talented or not, they are very happy to go to Chang'an to see what happened. As for the cost along the way, for the students of this era , Basically, it is not difficult, even for poor students.

Faced with the number of students far exceeding expectations, Zhang Ming was very troubled. He did not expect that so many students came to the first admissions session of Taixue. There were hundreds of students from the Sanfu area alone. The entire Sili School It is estimated that there are thousands of students from Weibu.

The reason why Zhang Ming formulated the strategy of free enrollment was because he was worried that there would be very few recruits in the first session of Taixue, so he wanted to expand the number of students through free enrollment, but he was severely slapped in the face. There are too many students here.

"Teacher, I knew that I should have listened to the teacher and not reduced the expenses of the students. Now that so many students have come, the pressure on the court has suddenly increased." Zhang Ming said helplessly.

"Your Majesty, in the past in Luoyang, there were many more Taixue students than in Chang'an City now, so your Majesty need not worry. If the imperial court is really under great pressure, I can persuade all the officials to support one or two together." Yang Biao sincerely Said.

If it is said that it is not easy to ask hundreds of officials to pay for other things, but for the admissions of Taixue, they will not make any excuses for asking hundreds of officials to pay, because they all know what Taixue means. It is from Taixue. As the first batch of sponsors, they will definitely get corresponding rewards.

Of course, for this matter, Zhang Ming would definitely not let these people pay for it. Once they were allowed to fund it, these Tai students would no longer be students of the emperor, but students of hundreds of officials.

"Teacher, have the disciples of the aristocratic families in Chang'an City made trouble recently? I don't want the students who come to Chang'an from all over the world to feel unfair treatment. I don't want to use the power of Tingwei." Zhang Ming asked slowly.

For the recruitment of Taixue, Zhang Ming can be said to have mobilized all the forces that can be used. Even hundreds of officials have their task, which is to restrain the children of the aristocratic family in Chang'an, and Yang Biao is the main person in charge of this task. .

"Your Majesty, I have repeatedly restricted this matter, and the children of these aristocratic families will not make jokes at this important juncture." Yang Biao said respectfully.

There are only [-] candidates for the Chang'an general election. After all, there are more Tai students, and the court cannot afford it. Moreover, in Zhang Ming's expectation, the [-] places are enough for the time being. It is not too late to expand the enrollment quota.

This means that after more students come to Chang'an, the proportion of unsuccessful students will be higher. These unselected students come from various states and counties, and they will go to various places with the news of the imperial court. Not a good thing.

Hundreds of officials have to face, and the court also has to face, so this matter is the goal of mutual maintenance of both parties.

After Yang Biao left the Gaomen Hall, Cui Ming walked in.

"Your Majesty, this is the latest news from Chang'an City." After speaking, Cui Ming took two pieces of information, one was handed in by the commander of the Imperial Army, and the other was handed in by Zhuo Yun, the richest businessman in Chang'an.

"Read." Zhang Ming said lightly.

"Zhuo Yun said that due to the arrival of a large number of students, these students are generally not short of money, so the wine shops in Chang'an City are full of business every day. Although he has made a lot of money, he dare not keep it without authorization, so [-]% of it has gone to commercial companies. .” Cui Ming read carefully.

"Sensible." Zhang Ming nodded. Now the firm has already been taken over by the imperial court. The nominal person in charge is still Zhuo Yun, but the actual person in charge has been replaced by someone from the imperial court.

"The business of wine shops in several nearby counties has also been affected, and there has been a general increase in prices. However, Zhuo Yun did not pocket the money he earned, but also transferred it to the commercial firms." Cui Ming Continue to read.

The imperial court has a Jinyiwei organization in the Jingzhao area. In addition to monitoring the officials, Zhuo Yun is naturally also under its supervision.

"Sensible, let him do all the restaurant business in the Sanfu area in the future." Zhang Ming nodded and said.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Cui Ming agreed, Zhuo Yun was recommended by him, and now he is under his control.

With the income of Zhuoyun Commercial, at least it should not be a big problem to offset the housing and food expenses of poor students this time. After all, these students who can live in restaurants are students from aristocratic families from all over the world. They are not short of money, so even if the prices of restaurants increase It will not affect business either.

As for the expenses of more than 2000 students in the future, the imperial court must find ways to increase commercial income, otherwise it will really be a huge pressure.

"I heard that Zhuo Yun is still running the salt and iron business in private?" Zhang Ming asked calmly.

"Yes, Your Majesty, but I have told him not to touch him for the time being." Cui Ming nodded.

"Let him continue to do it. It's better to make the business bigger." Zhang Ming said slowly.
