Having said this, a group of people followed Li Guozhen to the prince's residence.
Lin Fan was feeding the fish in the prince's residence when he saw Li Guozhen walking over with more than 200 people. No need to guess, these were definitely more than 200 heads.
Tsk tsk!
Lin Fan couldn't help but secretly wonder. There were so many sects in the Ming Dynasty. When they gathered together, there were twenty to thirty thousand people. How could they be stable?
However, after today, this situation will be completely changed. From now on, these martial arts sects will all become public officials of the Ming Dynasty.
"Meet His Highness the Crown Prince!"
Everyone came to Lin Fan and saluted respectfully.
Lin Fan put his hands behind his back and said in a deep voice: "You all should get up. There are not so many rules in this prince's mansion."
"Thank you, Your Highness the Crown Prince!"
Everyone stood up respectfully.
At this time, a person took two steps forward and said, "Your Highness, you are looking for us and you don't know why?"
"This, do you still want to ask me?
With so many martial arts sects gathering in the capital, what kind of style would it be like?
Someone reported that you are going to rebel!"
Lin Fan said coldly.
this!
Everyone present was stunned. Someone reported that they were going to rebel?
In this way, His Royal Highness summoned them today to save them!
Otherwise, wouldn't it be easier to just dispatch one hundred thousand Xuanjia troops to destroy them!
"This... Your Highness, you are completely worried. How could we rebel?
We just want to come and see His Highness the Crown Prince!"
"Yes! We are here to see His Highness the Crown Prince!"
Everyone said one after another.
Lin Fan sneered and said, "Do you need to bring so many people to see my prince?
I know the thoughts of you people very clearly!"
"Calling you here today will only do you good, not bad!"
"Oh! What benefits does His Highness the Crown Prince want to give us?"
One person said in surprise.
Sure enough, His Royal Highness the Prince summoned them to give them benefits, and the group of people were so excited that they almost jumped up.
"From now on, your martial arts sects will no longer be sects, but will be converted into academies. From now on, you will no longer be able to recruit disciples casually. Instead, the Ministry of Education will take unified examinations to select disciples for you!"
Lin Fan said in a deep voice.
kindness!
Changing the sect into an academy, and not being able to recruit disciples casually, does this mean that these sects are dead in name only?
Could this be a good thing?
"This... Your Highness the Crown Prince, if we have offended you in any way, please don't remember the faults of villains and don't be the same as us!"
"Your Highness, I all know that we were wrong. I hope you will leave us a way to survive!"
"Your Highness, we have no intention of rebellion. We come to see you this time in the hope that you will allow our martial arts sects to continue to exist!"
…
The heads of martial arts sects all beg for mercy.
Lin Fan said in a deep voice: "Did I say that I would eradicate all your martial arts sects?
What I am saying is that it cannot exist without the permission of the Ming Dynasty!"
"You guys, how many disciples in your sect have the most?
Can a dozen, twenty or thirty people be said to be a sect?
Are there more than a hundred people?”
“Don’t you want to grow?
Don’t you want your disciples to reach a thousand or ten thousand?”
There are more than two hundred of these people, but the number of martial arts people who came is more than ten thousand. In other words, the average number of these people's sects will not exceed one hundred.
It can be said that this is a very small sect. According to the news from Jin Yiwei, there is a big fish behind and is rushing to the capital.
"This... His Highness the Crown Prince is absolutely right. Our Iron Clothes Sect, disciples, and elders add up to only thirty people. Alas!"
"Our Taimu Sect has more than a hundred disciples, but compared with those truly famous sects, they are still very few!"
"His Royal Highness, you said that you can let us reach the scale of a thousand or ten thousand people. This is almost impossible. You know, we are all a small sect, and few people will come to us to become our disciples!"
"Your Highness, if you have any good ideas, why not just tell them directly. As long as it is beneficial to us, we can make concessions!"
…
Everyone said one after another.
Lin Fandao: "I just said that you are not allowed to accept disciples at will. All your disciples will be selected by the Ministry of Education for you!"
"Let me tell you this, in the later stage, you won't be begging others to come to you, but you will raise the requirements for selecting disciples. As long as you are the best and have poor qualifications, you will not want them!"
"Your Highness, is such a day really possible?"
One person said.
"That's natural. Think about it. In the school established by this prince, any child of school age can enter and study. How big is the base of this population?"
"When they reach the age of fifteen or sixteen, they will be old enough to take the college entrance examination. After the college entrance examination, the Ministry of Education will give scores based on their results!"
"At that time, we will rank according to the scores, and then allocate them according to the rankings of your colleges. With such a large base, at least five or six hundred of your disciples can be allocated every year!"
"The further we go, the more people there will be. As for your colleges, each class of disciples lasts for four semesters, which means you can educate them for four years!"
"After four years, you can conduct an exam, and those who pass the exam will be awarded a diploma representing your sect!"
"And this diploma will be stamped by the Ministry of Education of the imperial court. As long as you have this certificate, you can participate in the imperial examination. If you don't have it, you will not be able to participate!"
"Of course, in the Ming Dynasty, we are not the only ones with colleges renovated by martial arts sects like you. There are also medical schools and other colleges. After graduation, you will get a diploma!"
"With the imperial court's iron facade, are you still afraid that you won't be able to recruit students?"
Lin Fan said in a deep voice.
kindness!
After hearing what Lin Fan said, the eyes of these people all showed excitement. They all looked at Lin Fan and said, "Your Highness, if we don't change it into an academy, we can do this!"
"Yes! We can accept the students assigned to us by the Ministry of Education now!"
…
After hearing what these people said, Lin Fan couldn't help but give them a big eye roll and thought to himself, if you don't change it to an academy, why should I send you students?
"Everyone, with your current strength, can you afford to support so many students?"
Lin Fan asked rhetorically.
Forehead……
These people were stunned. Yes, their disciples were not allowed to pay tuition fees for their apprenticeships. All their daily expenses were supported by the aristocratic families of the Ming Dynasty.
Nowadays, opium dens have been completely banned. Some noble families have strong opinions on their martial arts sects, and some have directly cut off contact with them. Several sects are facing dissolution.
