Chapter 902: The Dou Family's Plan
"I think the four academies in Zhuangzi, Dongshan County will sooner or later become our confidants." Dou Shilun said weakly: "At the time when he was struggling in Dongshan County, he thought it was just a small fuss, just to make the children in Zhuangzi, which was able to go to school, but who would have thought that the academies would develop so quickly. In a blink of an eye, the Imperial College in Chang'an City was struggling under the pressure of the academies in Dongshan County."
At the beginning, Xuan Shijing was really just building academy for his children in the village, but later he accidentally felt that since the academy was built, he would be very popular, otherwise he would be sorry for Gao Shilian and Xiao Yu's names.
It is easy to build a college, but it is difficult to equip the college with a suitable teacher.
Previously, there were only two people, Gao Shilian and Xiao Yu. After the first phase of the academy was expanded, the two called friends, making the academy in Zhuangzi, Dongshan County suddenly become one of the top academies in the Tang Dynasty.
Even if there are no friends of Gao Shilian and Xiao Yu, these two great gods are in charge of the academy, and with Sun Simiao, a saint of medical profession, the academy in Zhuangzi is no less than academy anywhere.
"It is impossible to curb the academy in Dongshan County now." When it comes to this issue, Dou Yan also felt that it was troublesome. The academy in Dongshan County is indeed not beneficial to them. If the Imperial College will be inferior to the Academy of Literature in the spring examination next year, there will be a good show. At that time, the academy in Dongshan County will definitely be taken to a higher level and they will not be able to stop it.
How to stop it? Should I be an enemy of Your Majesty or an enemy of scholars all over the world?
Although the Dou family is powerful, they are not yet able to float to this extent.
The poor scholars in the world are also a considerable force. They can only take the opportunity to win over, but not suppress them.
Dongshan County Academy rose too fast, and its starting point was originally very high. Even though it was just a small academy, the teacher of the academy was Gao Shilian, and the Xuan family was leaning behind the academy. Later, the academy became the royal family, and the prince became the nominal dean of Dongshan County Academy. How did they attack the academy?
Nowadays, the gentlemen in the academy are just famous figures in the circle of scholars in the Tang Dynasty. Can they offend?
Maybe they have no power, but now they are all gathered in the academy on Zhuangzi in Dongshan County and are in a group. Unless there are really families who care about the consequences and at all costs, and want to be unable to get along with them, otherwise, don't provoke them.
Especially some older guys, who knows if there are one or two promising disciples under their sect?
Today, the teaching group of the academy in Zhuangzi, Dongshan County is just a hornet's nest, and whoever stabs it will be unlucky.
Therefore, Dou Shilun said that the academies in Dongshan County will sooner or later become their confidant in the future, and will be an incomprehensible confidant in the future.
Now the academy has begun to develop rapidly and is still developing, and its momentum cannot be interrupted.
"I think if it was the academy in Zhuangzi, or the Xuan family in Dongshan County, we might not have to be enemies with it. So many years have passed before Dou Kui's affairs, and it has passed. Moreover, our family knows the cause of Dou Kui's death. As for Shang Lie, they have helped with this matter. The prince also gave justice to Xiaoguo's affairs. In Xiaoguo's own words, this matter was originally wrong, but it is wrong. Our Dou family protects the shortcomings and protects the shortcomings, which are two different things." Dou Yan said.
"Brother means to have a good relationship with the Xuan family?" Dou Shilun said: "But will the Xuan family be willing?"
"Why don't you?" Dou Yan said.
"This... I want to talk about the reason, what my brother said just now is between our juniors in the Dou family and Xuan Shijing..."
"Xuan Shijing helped Dali Temple and found out about Shang Lie's affairs. This matter was also considered to be a helper to our Dou family. If we use this matter to contact the Xuan family, will the Xuan family refuse to get along with our Dou family?" Dou Yan said: "Although the Xuan family is in the court and is very popular in Chang'an City, it is an emerging big family after all, and the foundation is still weak. What about our Dou family? Going back hundreds of years, it has a deep foundation and takes the initiative to show goodwill. If Xuan Shijing refuses again, it will be a punishment for not eating toasts. He wants to invite him to the guest house. He insists on pulling him into the donkey house." Dou Yan said: "As for the previous matter, it is not a big deal, and both parties can let it go, right?"
Dou Shilun nodded: "That's true, but how do you plan to get along with the Xuan family?"
"Don't worry, will Mingde Academy still recruit students next summer? Our Dou family also has one or two kids, and it's time to enter the school." Dou Yan said.
Among the Dou family, twelve or thirteen-year-old nephews usually hire a husband in the mansion or teach his own teachers. They will not go to the Imperial College to study when they are old, but Dou Yan obviously no longer intends to do this.
He wanted to send his children to Dongshan County Academy and apply for the College of Literature in the future, rather than choosing the Imperial College.
It is not that there are no descendants of the Dou family in the Imperial College. The big family has always been like this, and eggs are never placed in one basket.
Dou Yan was not worried that the descendants of the Dou family would abandon their studies in the academy of Dongshan County. If you think about it carefully, the teacher in the academy of Dongshan County was much heavier than the teacher in the Imperial College.
Dou Yan couldn't understand the Imperial College. Most of the Imperial College are officials. Many of the teachers from the academy in Zhuangzi, Dongshan County were officials, but now they are just simple teachers. In the academy, they teach and educate people safely, and their reputation is no more difficult than being an official.
Hearing Dou Yan's words, Dou Shilun nodded and agreed to his elder brother's proposal to send the children at home to the academy to study. It was good for the children at home, and the Dou family also had some connections with the academy. In the future, no matter whether the academy is good or bad, it would not harm the Dou family.
As for the Imperial College, whether they succeed themselves depends on what answers they can give next year's spring exam.
There has been no news about the matter between the Zheng family and the Luoyang Money House. Li Chengqian has been suppressed so hard that the Dou family is only planning the relationship between their own family and the Xuan family and the connection with the academy. They did not expect that Xuan Shijing would expand the academy with great fanfare at this time, and what is the purpose and what is it for.
As long as the plan between Xuan Shijing and Li Chengqian is not leaked, others will never know that Xuan Shijing is preparing to confront the aristocratic family.
Don’t the aristocratic families occupy the official resources in the court?
