Section 10: Ma Zhou, the Great Fortuner

Ever since Concubine Yang and Concubine Yin personally sent their sons to study at the academy, the legend of Yushan Academy has spread in Chang'an, a giant city with a population of 800,000. Princes have begun to study at Yushan Academy. Where else can there be something better than Yushan Academy?

A good place?

The academy only recruits some relatives of the emperor and children of meritorious families, which isolates the landlords and wealthy people in Chang'an City. The nobles and nobles of Guan Long are already enjoying everything in this country. Now even the starting point of their children is higher than their own children. How about this?

Okay? Our ancestors deserve to be in the lower class for generations?

The Imperial College has opened its doors to the children of officials below the fifth rank, and the Hongwen Academy has put down its arrogant attitude and begun to look for good talents among the children of officials with lower grades, preparing to focus on training them so that they can compete with Yushan Academy.

Competing for students? Yun Ye was very proficient in this when he was looking for a school for his son in later generations. No matter how academically proficient and resourceful Yu Shinan and Liu Zhenghui were, they could not understand what the siphon principle is. In addition, Kong Yingda, Song Lian, Xiao

Yu, these gentlemen are not helping. The Imperial College and Hongwen Hall can only suffer defeat in this battle for students.

Without him, Yushan Academy just throws out a brochure. Talented students only need to nominate themselves to take the academy's exam. After passing the exam, they can study in the academy, just like other academy students. Students from poor family backgrounds can also

You can study for free, and there are even scholarships available at the academy, and you can also work-study, as long as you are good enough.

The book business is so angry. No one thinks that they are worse than others. They all carry their heads on their shoulders. Are you smarter than me? It’s a joke. Only after taking the exam did I know that Yushan is crowded with people in May, and the farmers’ houses at the foot of the mountain are full of former residents.

Some of the scholars who come to take the exam even come from far away places in a hurry to take the exam.

The great examination in Yushan has eclipsed the annual talent recruitment hall held by the imperial court at the same time. The poor scholars who are unable to write the examination can only place their hopes in Yushan Academy. The princes need subordinate officers, the military camp needs secretaries, and the Ministry of Industry needs

Specialized talents are the worst, and all major wealthy families also need their own support. The way out is much wider than that of an eighth-rank official in the imperial court.

The emperor ignored this matter. Wei Zheng spoke impassionedly in the temple about the serious consequences of the competition between the academy and the imperial court for talents. Li Er also squinted his eyes and listened with a smile. The number of officials in the imperial court was increasing day by day, but there were no useful ones.

Several, he personally tested several so-called talents who were going to serve as people-friendly officials in various places. The result made him furious. He literally wrote a thousand words without having any plan in mind. He didn't know how to deal with drought, and he didn't know how to comfort the people when he encountered it.

, only ignorantly asking for help, knowing nothing about people's livelihood and food, and only remaining full of loyalty to serve the country.

If thieves come, I will die. Officials who are poor, safe and self-sufficient are enough to make the world clear. Li Er likes and worries about such officials. Such officials will not bring benefits to the local area, nor will they

If it brings harm, the land it governs will not change for 800 years.

On the other hand, college students, young and senior students, need to participate in various internships, or manage a stone kiln, or manage a group of craftsmen, or participate in building a bridge, or participate in the distribution of grain and grass in the military camp, or in drought-stricken areas.

Locals participated in disaster relief and helped with drainage in flooded areas. Others were managing the small market on Yunjiazhuangzi. As for the construction site of the palace, there were many young faces busy going back and forth.

The academy students who participated in the construction of Xinghua Square were already openly questioning the location of the officials' corpses in Chang'an. Dozens of people rebelled and set fire, plunging the entire giant city of 800,000 people into chaos. The consequences were so serious. What were the officials doing on a daily basis?

In the court, Wei Zheng said he was tired, so Kong Yingda continued the bombing. Li Er was thinking about Yun Ye's invitation to serve as the dean of Yushan Academy. At that time, he thought it was nonsense. The emperor's duty was to rule the world, not to serve as some

Actual official position, otherwise what would an official do?

Now that I think about it, I really need to be the dean. As long as I serve as the dean, all the students in the academy will be my students. Among the kings and teachers of heaven and earth, I can occupy two places, and I am the best person to win people's hearts.

's method.

Li Er suddenly laughed. No wonder Yun Ye didn't agree with him when he asked the prince to be the dean. He would rather leave the seat vacant for two years than let Cheng Qian get involved in the academy. Who would have thought that his whim two years ago could actually lead to this?

It gave birth to a behemoth, Li Chengqian, Li Chengqian, your luck is unprecedented. Your friends can worry about you to this extent. If you fail to be an emperor in the future, everyone will be sorry.

Thinking of Yun Ye, Li Er's face looked a little strange, and he clenched his fists loudly: "Boy, is it so easy to take advantage of my royal family? Obscenity in the palace is a serious crime of beheading. If you have time, I will discuss it with you."

."

There was a debate in the court, which made Li Er temporarily put his mind back. He saw Yuchi Gong clenching his fists and grabbing the thin Kong Yingda with a fierce look as if he was going to use violence.

"Jing De, stop using violence in the court. What's the point?"

"Your Majesty, this old man surnamed Kong is really hateful. Let's just talk about other things. I don't care about him. I actually built the Shangjin Bridge with just a few stones without using beams or pillars. This is an act that disregards human life.

, Wei Chen is about to tell her clearly."

It was not easy for Yuchi Gong's family to have a man who could read and write, and now he could lead dozens of people to build a ten-foot-long bridge. After the bridge was built, some people were chirping, and he was naturally angry.

"Who built the bridge?" Li Er thought he heard wrongly. Can the bridge built by Yuchi Baolin be able to pass people? No wonder Kong Yingda said that the Yuchi family took human life seriously. Since when did half-fools start building bridges?

"Douzi Yuchi Baolin led seventy-three craftsmen to build it in twenty-six days and four hours." Yuchi Gong grinned with great pride.

"Your Majesty, the Shangjin Bridge is the key point to enter and exit the Jinguang Gate. Yuchi Baolin does not use beams or wood, but only uses hundreds of huge stones to build it. Although the stone carvings on it are exquisite, it is not suitable for use. Once it collapses, it will

Why should I accuse him of disregarding human life when he has spared it?"

Li Er looked worriedly at Yu Chigong and then at Li Daliang, Minister of Industry, to see how they would explain.

Li Daliang stood up and said to the emperor: "Reporting to your majesty, the Ministry of Industry has inspected the Shangjin Bridge. The bridge is beautiful and elegant, strong and durable, and there are no problems."

Yuchi Gong followed up and said: "Weichen was also worried that the bridge built by Quanzi could not be used, so on the day Quanzi completed it, Weichen was the first to get on the bridge. It was very safe. He had fifty generals, all heavily armored, riding horses.

I galloped across the bridge, and not even a speck of dust fell off the bridge. I also made several heavy-weight vehicles line up from one end of the bridge to the other. The bridge is still intact. I guarantee with my head that there is nothing wrong with the bridge."

Yuchi Gong never told lies to him, and Li Er understood clearly, so he believed his words. Just as he was about to speak, Chang Sun Wuji came out to speak: "Has your Majesty forgotten the Zhaozhou Bridge? There is no such bridge either."

The beams and columns are also made of stone and are still intact today."

"That bridge was built by Li Chun, a famous craftsman in the Sui Dynasty. How can Yuchi Baolin and He De be compared with him?" Kong Yingda still refused to give up.

"Quinzi said that the blueprints came from a construction family, a public loser family. Just one person from his family would be enough to rival Li Chun."

Yu Shinan was jumping anxiously below. He had obviously agreed to attack Yushan Academy today, but unexpectedly he was taken to the ditch by Kong Yingda, who was smelly and hard. The emperor knew clearly and did not mention it again, but

I asked vaguely about the interesting story of building the bridge, but today's plan came to nothing again.

Yun Ye stood at the foot of the mountain to greet the scholars who came to take the exam. His smile never disappeared. Looking at the endless stream of old students, college students, and primary school students, he almost laughed to the sky. There were originally few scholars in the Tang Dynasty, but now Chang'an City

All the people who thought they had a chance are here, and the academy cannot grow even if it wants to grow. Xu Jingzong, who was sitting behind the desk and recording the notes himself, also kept laughing sinisterly. Just seeing the unlucky Hongwen Hall who abandoned him like a pair of worn-out shoes was enough to make him

I was so excited that I couldn't sleep all night.

"Student Ma Zhou pays homage to Marquis Yun." A thin man with a dark face spoke in a loud voice. He didn't feel a trace of embarrassment when he saw Yun Ye. Although he was wearing linen clothes and wearing straw sandals, he insisted on paying homage to Yun Ye as a student.

Ye.

"Looking at your shabby clothes, you have not changed your heart to learn. It is commendable that you have a great ambition. Although the students in the academy all come from famous families, there is only one identity when you enter the academy, that is, a student. You don't have to have any psychological burden.

Yushan Academy only values ​​talent, no matter where you come from. Show off all your talents and knowledge and let the rich kids in the academy see them."

Before Ma Zhou spoke, Xu Jingzong next to him spoke first. Yun Ye was very surprised. The other students just nodded and applauded and never said a word. Why did Yun Ye say a lot of words when this peasant boy came?

, there must be something weird.

"Student Ma Zhou, I see that you have a magnificent talent, and you will definitely become a great weapon in the future. Anyway, the academy will help you to the end. I see that you are poorly dressed and don't have much. It seems that you are going to sleep in the open. It's cold at night in Yushan, so I will repair the book."

Feng, you take it to the college manager and ask him to arrange for you to stay in the college library tonight. You can get your meals from the dining hall. Come, come, take my food card and return it to me after you pass the exam."

After saying that, he quickly wrote a line of words on the paper and handed it to Ma Zhou. He also stuffed his meal receipt to him. Without waiting for the red-eyed Ma Zhou to speak, he urged him to go up the mountain quickly. Don't do it.

Missed meal time.

Without saying a word, Ma Zhou bowed deeply to Yun Ye and Xu Jingzong, then strode up the mountain with much lighter steps.

"Old Xu, don't compete with me for the opportunity to show kindness in the future." Yun Ye said to Xu Jingzong as he watched Ma Zhou turn around the corner of the mountain.

Xu Jingzong scratched his chin and asked Yun Ye: "Master Hou, how do you determine that King Ma Zhou Ma Bin will be a talented person?"

"Anyone who has great achievements must have great luck, and those who have great luck must have auspicious clouds in their heads. Although the scholar just now is shabby, the aura of wealth and nobility is staring into my eyes. This will be my future colleague. Now be more respectful."

, good to see you in the future."

"The Marquis is also very kind to my subordinates. Does it mean that I will also have great luck in the future?"

"Of course you have great luck, but the auspicious clouds above your head are dark. I have to watch you closely. If you are not careful, you will run out and harm others. Neither of us are clean people. Let's just live together."

When Xu Jingzong heard this, his eyes were as wide as bells. (To be continued!~!
