Chapter Seventy-fifth: Ordering Society, Four Cities of Nankang!
Only strength is fundamental.
Ever since he stepped out of Anping County, Gu Changsheng had some ambitions in mind.
Well, along the way, especially after experiencing the disaster of Baima Lin, Gu Changsheng's thirst for strength has become more and more urgent.
Whether it is painting, Confucianism, or martial arts.
He wants to learn and master anything that can make him stronger and allow him to settle down in this world. Otherwise, it will be difficult for him to gain a sufficient sense of security.
after all.
This world is really a bit too screwed up.
"It's already come to this, why are you just thinking about internal fighting?"
Gu Changsheng shook his head and silently cursed in his heart.
Fortunately, not all the news brought by Bai Wan was bad. There was at least one piece of news that Gu Changsheng liked quite a lot.
That is, he is about to study and will be registered. From then on, it will become the most important item on his resume as Gu Changsheng, and he will follow Gu Changsheng throughout his life at the academy - Nankang Academy.
It was much better than Gu Changsheng expected.
There are not only truly wise men like Jiang Xue.
According to Bai Wan, both the academy's teaching staff and the academy's director also attach great importance to the art of learning.
In fact, Nankang Academy was the first academy in Jiangnan Province, and even in the entire Zhou Dynasty, to start implementing the policy of exempting and subsidizing academic students.
"Finally, there are some good things."
Gu Changsheng shook his head, and Bai Wan also breathed a sigh of relief.
Gu Changsheng was worried that Nankang Academy would be a place full of rotten scholars. In that case, he was prepared to plunge into Nankang Tower and never come out.
Although if you want to settle down in this world and live a good life, you must also have good connections with people.
But that also depends on the situation.
With his status as a sage of the country to protect him, an academy like Nankang Academy in a local state capital would not threaten Gu Changsheng.
Moreover, even if someone really cares about this matter, Gu Changsheng also has a talisman - he was ordered to study in Nankang Tower for half a year until the imperial examination. This is the order given by His Majesty!
Fortunately.
This extreme choice seems unnecessary now.
What Bai Wan was worried about was more pure. As a sage who ruled the country, once Gu Changsheng entered the academy, some of his suggestions and opinions would inevitably affect some people, and even the academy's teachings might be affected by them.
After all, there are many wise people in the country.
But once the country is conquered, it will be remembered by His Majesty. It was Zhong Kui's ghost-hunting plan that triggered the nine-ring bell of the country, and it was the interrogation of the three major academies of the country...
So many things add up.
The current empress may not have a high opinion of Gu Changsheng, but if nothing else, her impression must be very clear.
And being able to be held in the heart of the Empress.
The weight of his words is very important.
Bai Wan was not afraid of anything else, but he was afraid that Gu Changsheng would be like those rotten scholars outside, who only regarded martial arts as a trivial matter.
Discrimination, scolding, indifference and treatment are no problem, but I am afraid that the benefits and subsidies for academic students will be reduced.
Bai Wan's own family was fine, but as Bai Wan knew, the family conditions of his classmates who were also academicians relied on the academy's funding to keep the family afloat.
Now, Bai Wan breathed a sigh of relief and helped Gu Changsheng tidy up the dormitory. After completing the registration procedures, he handed the number plate and key to Gu Changsheng with a smile.
"Although this is a temporary dormitory, it is specially prepared by the academy for you, junior brother. Once the registration is completed, this dormitory will be your regular use. You should also keep the number plate key and don't lose it."
As he spoke, Bai Wan smiled again.
"In addition, senior brother is here. In addition to taking you into the academy and helping you register, there is one more thing I want to tell you."
Bai Wan said, but she winked at Gu Changsheng: "The senior brothers in the academy are quite curious about you, and have already decided that when you officially enter the school, we will hold a literary party for you, which can be regarded as a welcome for you.
Come, the restaurant has been booked, it’s Wenhan Restaurant tonight, junior brother, don’t refuse!”
"Welcome to the cultural gathering?"
After hearing Bai Wan's words, Gu Changsheng's expression became strange.
This welcome party reminded him for a moment of the operations of the welcome parties and the like when he was in school in his previous life, but he knew it without even thinking about it.
Compared with those at the New Year's Eve party where you can look down at your phone and watch the program in a daze.
This welcome reception was more formal, but it made Gu Changsheng a little curious.
Besides, he was a little tired from traveling all the way, so he could take a good rest during this literary meeting.
Of course, a literary meeting will definitely involve reciting poems and writing poems.
But Gu Changsheng would definitely not be able to use his hard-earned talents on these things.
Although there are feedbacks on talent from the previous sacrifices to Hua Dao context, but one step at a time, the province still has to save in order to live a good life.
However, Gu Changsheng was not worried.
After all, everyone knows that if a scholar does not have the support of talent, even if he has a masterpiece, he will not be able to write the words and print the paper. He can only look at the pen and sigh, but it is just right.
Before he came to Nankang, he, Gu Changsheng, produced the famous masterpiece "Zhong Kui's Ghost Hunting Picture", "Huaguo Mountain Strange Stone Scroll", and later, with the help of his talents, he created "Ju Ge"
OK".
There are so many things going on along the way.
When the time comes, he says that he has no talent, and no one will be embarrassed to force him to write poetry.
This can be regarded as a kind of tacit understanding among the literati in this era.
Seeing Gu Changsheng nod, Bai Wan was obviously relieved.
He was also worried that Gu Changsheng would refuse, in which case it would be difficult for his senior brother.
Although the students of Nankang Academy are all quite arrogant because of their senior brother Jiang Xue, no matter how arrogant they are, this kind of cultural meeting is carefully prepared by the senior brothers and there is no malicious intention.
If you don't come to participate, there will always be someone with a grudge.
Although Bai Wan and Gu Changsheng had only known each other for less than a day, she already had a good impression of Gu Changsheng and felt like an old friend at first sight. Naturally, she did not want to see her junior brother being targeted for such a trivial matter.
Thinking of this, Bai Wan couldn't help but remind her: "Although junior brother is full of talents, I still don't want to be too showy at tonight's cultural gathering."
Bai Wan could only say so much, but how could Gu Changsheng not understand the meaning of Bai Wan's words?
Dang even nodded with a smile: "Senior brother, don't worry, junior brother understands in his heart and will keep it in mind!"
…
Just when Bai Wan and Gu Changsheng made an appointment for a literary party tonight.
At the same time, Xicheng, Nankang Prefecture.
Compared with the prosperity of Dongcheng, Beicheng has the solemnity brought by the seat of Nankang government office, and the elegance and grace brought by Nancheng Academy.
The atmosphere in the west city of Nankang Prefecture is serious, or to put it more accurately.
A lot of killing!
Just because the city defense army of Nankang Prefecture, [Nankang Camp], is stationed here!
