Datang romantic little landlord

However, those who went to Pingkangfang to enjoy themselves were only a small number of students, not everyone was an upright gentleman, they just had a lot of cash in their pockets.After all, Pingkangfang's overnight consumption is not low. Even students from well-off families are reluctant to spend hundreds of cash or even a penny to kiss Fangze.

Therefore, most of the students just find a restaurant near the hostel and ask for a table to drink and have fun.

In each restaurant, almost all the students who came to Beijing to participate in the Spring Festival sat there, and it was very lively.

In the restaurant, a famous student suddenly said loudly: "Everyone, I wonder if you have heard of it? Today, in the examination of the Ministry of Rites, Xiao Shixian wrote another article called "Encouraging Learning". I have the honor to read it, and I really admire it. No way, the little poetry fairy is really pedantic about heaven and man, extraordinary people."

His words immediately attracted the attention of all the students in the restaurant, and someone immediately got up and asked: "I don't know, brother, can you recite it for me? Let me also listen to the teacher's teaching."

"Yes, yes, trouble this brother, and recite it for me." All the students around also echoed.

"It's easy to say, of course there is no problem. Listen up, everyone, a dead tree will grow again in spring, and no one will be young twice..." The student immediately cupped his hands around and recited Li Wangyou's "Encouraging Learning" aloud.

After the 200-word article was recited, the noisy restaurant suddenly became quiet, and all the students recited the article silently.

"Sir, you are really talented, wonderful, really wonderful!"

"Although Xiao Shixian is young, she really has learned a lot and is a great sage in the world!"

Someone even said in an extremely envious tone: "Speaking of which, today, before the examination of the Ministry of Rites, Mister accepted two more disciples. I am really envious. Those two are so lucky to have Mister as their teacher."

"That's right, I'm quite clear about this matter. Those two students, named Shangguanyi and Liu Rengui, are candidates for Jinshi in this department. Mr. Yuan has said that if the two of them can pass Jinshi in this department, they will be accepted as disciples, but For some reason, Mister changed his mind, and just before entering the examination institute, he made the two of them kowtow to worship the teacher."

The restaurant was full of envious voices from the candidates.

"If you can worship Mr. as your teacher, what does it matter if Chun Wei fails the exam?"

"That's right, sir's disciple Ma Yushi, didn't he not participate in Chunwei? It's such an honor to be directly ordered by the sage to serve as Yushi."

"It's a pity that I can't get into Mr.'s eyes, and I can't accept Mr. as a disciple. It's a pity. Every time I read Mr.'s articles and poems, it makes me admire him even more."

"Don't talk about Mr.'s articles and poems, just talk about the novel "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms". How magnificent is it? Only Mr. can write it like this. Hey, even if you can't worship Mr. as a teacher, if you follow Mr. Left and right, that's good too."

Someone heard the words and couldn't help laughing: "Don't dream, you are not that beautiful little lady, what does the master want you to serve?"

"Haha, that's the reason!" There was laughter again in the restaurant.

At this time, someone said loudly: "Actually, it's not impossible. I don't know if you know? You are planning to build an academy in Hu County, and you are planning to recruit people from Confucian scholars."

What he said immediately attracted everyone's attention, and they all gathered around and asked in a hurry.

"Brother, can you explain more clearly? What academy? But can you enroll me?"

"Yes, but can I enroll and study with Mr.?"

The man shook his head: "No, no, the academy you want to build, but only accepts Mongolian children who are about ten years old."

"What? Only recruit Mengtong? This... This is too much of a waste of Mr. Meng's talent. How can Mr. teach Mengtong?"

"Could it be a mistake? How is this possible?"

The man who spoke shook his head again: "The academy you want to build not only recruits Mongolian children, but also teaches these Mongolian children for ten years until they reach the crown. It is said that all children from poor families don't need to spend a penny for training. , the husband will also provide them with board and lodging for ten years until they graduate."

These words stunned everyone immediately, and no one spoke for a while, they just looked at each other in blank dismay.

It took a long time before someone murmured: "Sir, you are so generous...I, why didn't I give birth a few years later..."

"Hiss... those ignorant children will study with their master in the academy for ten years... this, this is too unbelievable."

The man said again: "And as far as I know, the academy built by Mr. not only teaches the scriptures for Mongolian children, but also includes mathematics, calligraphy, painting, musical instruments, archery, shooting, horse riding, sword dancing, art of war and many other subjects. Therefore You need to study in the academy for ten years."

In the lobby of the restaurant, there was another gasping sound.

It took a while before someone asked: "Dare to ask, brother, what did you mean when you said before that you planned to recruit people from Confucian scholars?"

"Haha, Mr. wants to recruit hundreds of thousands of Mongolian children to study in the academy. With so many people, it is naturally impossible for him to teach in person. Therefore, Mr. is planning to recruit people from Confucian scholars to teach in the academy."

These words silenced a group of Confucian scholars. Huxian Bo wanted to recruit them to teach in the academy?To teach those ignorant children?

Everyone was thinking about it. After all, they were all scholars. Even if Chun Wei failed this year, they could still look forward to taking the exam next year and getting a qualification to become an official.

But if he went to teach in an academy, how would he become an official in the future?

Although Li Wangyou's reputation is very attractive, it will not make these Confucian scholars let go of their ambitions for fame and turn around to devote themselves to the "great cause of education".

The old masters in those private schools in Datang are just scholars with no hope of fame.As young as they are, how many people are willing to give up fame from now on?

720 Prepare to Shake the Pot

In the eyes of the students, if the purpose of Li Wangyou's establishment of the academy was to enroll them, even if it was a waste of money, they would find a way to enter the academy to study.

But they just wanted to recruit them to the academy to teach a group of urchins, which made everyone hesitate.

Even if Li Wangyou's reputation is great, it won't make everyone abandon their own future and run to follow.

For a while, there was a bit of silence in the restaurant.

The middle-aged student who spoke before suddenly laughed and said, "Do you think that going to the academy to teach will delay your future?"

"This...isn't it like this?"

"Of course not. Not only is there no harm, but it has great benefits."

"Oh? Please, brother, explain it to us in detail."

The middle-aged student who spoke coughed softly: "Most of you are not from Chang'an, right?"

Everyone nodded: "This is natural. If you are from Chang'an, how can you live in a hostel?"

"But do you all know that every spring, students from Chang'an actually take advantage of it?"

Everyone was dumb, looked at each other, and nodded again: "This is natural."

Datang's imperial examinations are actually not fair.

At least the candidates from Chang'an City and the surrounding states and counties have a great advantage compared to the candidates from other provinces.

The reason is simple, the road is long.

The Imperial Examination in the Tang Dynasty is held once a year. For non-Chang'an candidates, they must pass the preliminary examination in the state and county of origin every year, and then enter Chang'an to participate in the Spring Festival.

If you fail the exam, you have to return to your hometown to prepare for the next year's exam.

Datang is not a later generation. There are many means of transportation such as airplanes, high-speed rails, etc. The round trip is far away, and it may take half a year to get rid of it, and most of the time is delayed on the road.

Therefore, many candidates who travel far away can only participate in Chunwei once every two years.

It is not impossible to stay in Chang'an City, but you must be recommended by a high-ranking official in order to avoid the preliminary examination and directly participate in Chunwei, which is one of the reasons why the paper submission is popular.
