Today is the annual opening ceremony of Taishi College. The playground is full of people. There are many old faces and many new faces. Li Qi, Zhou Qing, Hong Bajin and others are among them.
In fact, Taishi College has faced a big difficulty in the past two years, which is the difficulty in recruiting students. When Taishi College was first built, there were so many refugees in the world that I was worried that you would have no money to support them.
Well now, Taishi College has started to make a profit by relying on the draft system, but at the same time, the number of refugees has also been greatly reduced, because the admission principle of Taishi College is that there is no tuition fee, and it is not open to the common people. It only recruits refugees, those who have no family.
A returnable person.
But times are changing, and naturally the rules must change.
Due to the decrease in refugees, Taishi Academy started enrolling students for the common people last year, but it is still free for poor people. However, due to limited ability, Taishi Academy still chooses some more talented and intelligent children.
This system has been relaxed. At the beginning of each year, countless people come to Taishi College to register, because Taishi College has become famous. The students who come out of Taishi College are very promising. They have at least one skill and will not know how to do it.
Starving to death is obvious to everyone, so some wealthy people even send money in the hope of sending their children to Taishi Academy, but Taishi Academy is still very strict about this aspect.
After all, the students at Taishi College are all from poor families. If children from wealthy families come in, there will definitely be a gap between the rich and the poor, which will have an unhealthy impact on the students' bodies and minds.
Of course, in addition to students, there are also many new teachers. The teacher benefits of Taishi College are better than those of Taishi College. After all, Taishi College is a profitable system. In addition, the medical department has also started enrolling students this year.
Teachers are also recruited at the same time. The salary of medical teachers is even more shocking. Some doctors can't make so much money in half a year. So many doctors come to sign up. In addition, a deputy dean has been added, Wang Zhongling.
.
Since Taishi College was ready to promote Mohism, under Li Qi's suggestion, it first established a branch system of liberal arts and science. Cai Sui was in charge of liberal arts and Wang Zhongling was in charge of science.
Today's science is also part of Mohism.
However, the emergence of science indicates that this new round of student movement is already in its infancy.
After Cai Sui read out the new charter on behalf of Cai Jing, it was time to award scholarships. This is also the first time that Taishi College has awarded scholarships. The scholarships are not much, but they are quite a lot for these students, and they can play a very encouraging role.
Three outstanding teachers were also selected and rewarded.
However, on this day, "The Eight Parts of the Dragon" was finally released. This novel conceived by Li Qi and written by Feng Yinu was officially published in the Song Dynasty Times Weekly.
But it only takes up half of the page, and the other half is about the opening of the Taishi College. It is obviously to promote the opening of the Taishi College.
Ever since the ending of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", martial arts fans have felt empty in their hearts, feeling like something was missing from their lives. However, Li Qi was fighting in the south at that time, so they could only wait patiently. In fact, since Li Qi came back,
Some people have been asking Li Qi whether he will continue writing.
In the past few days, Song Dynasty Times revealed that a new martial arts novel will be published in Song Dynasty Times. Everyone is looking forward to this day.
Today is undoubtedly a festival for martial arts fans. Thousands of copies of Song Dynasty Weekly were sold out as soon as they came out, and all major restaurants selling Song Dynasty Weekly were full. Without exception.
Teahouses, foot shops, streets and alleys. You can hear people reading the first chapter of The Eight Parts of the Dragon everywhere.
In one morning, the Eight Tribes of Heavenly Dragons swept through the entire Bianliang City.
Confucian newspaper? No one even looked at it.
However, on the next day, the Times Weekly of the Song Dynasty suddenly published an article called "When three people walk together, they must have my teacher, no middleman, no Confucianism."
Because of the appearance of Tian Long Ba Bu, the Times Weekly of the Song Dynasty became popular again. Therefore, as soon as this article came out, it immediately attracted everyone's attention. The content of the article pointed out that Confucianism can have what it is today, and other schools of thought have also made
It is not a small contribution, and it points out that Confucianism absorbs content from other schools, and at the same time it also insinuates Confucian scholars today. Confucianism advocates benevolence and loving others, so why can't you tolerate other schools of thought?
As soon as these remarks came out, a new public opinion war immediately started.
The Confucian scholars could no longer calm down, and began to criticize other schools of thought for misleading the country and the people. They also used the reason that Li Si, the representative of Legalism, suggested that Qin Shi Huang burn books and harass Confucianism, saying that Legalism could not tolerate Confucianism in the first place, and the Qin State ruled by Legalism was short-lived.
For decades, there has been a fierce response to this article.
Two days later, Confucian Daily published an article in response to the Song Dynasty Times Weekly. The title was something Qin Hui heard from Li Qi, which was - Survival of the fittest by natural selection.
It is emphasized that the decline of other schools of thought is due to their own lack of improvement, and the blame cannot be placed on Confucianism.
This also led to Mohism and Legalism joining forces to fight against Confucianism, and the two sides were quarreling.
Several more debate meetings were held in Xiangguo Temple. Hundreds of students from various schools participated in them. The momentum was very large and more intense than the previous one because this time the Confucian students were well prepared and the Confucian newspapers were very popular.
They quickly counterattacked, and Mohism and Legalism had begun to grow, and their numbers gradually increased, so the debate was very fierce.
Soon the matter reached the court. Li Gang and Mao Shu naturally joined the Legalist faction. The two of them had one president of the Judicial Yuan and one president of the Legislative Yuan. Even though they were both Confucian scholars, they could not destroy themselves.
The two sides are also fighting overtly and covertly for jobs.
Zhao Kai is open-minded and allows you to argue without taking sides, but the prerequisite is that it does not affect official business.
But today, Zhao Kai could no longer remain calm. As soon as he went to court, he walked into the hall angrily. When the officials saw this, they were a little frightened. After the salute, they did not dare to speak.
"Where is Deputy Superintendent Yu?"
Zhao Kai swept his eyes and said loudly.
"Wei Chen is here."
Someone outside the door heard someone saying that Yu Qi was not qualified to stand in the palace to attend the morning court. His rank was not high enough, so he could only stand outside.
"Come in and talk."
As soon as Zhao Kai finished speaking, the eunuch at the door shouted: "Deputy Supervisor Xuanjun Arms Supervisor has entered the palace."
The ministers were all confused when they heard this. What big thing had happened? The emperor was so angry.
Only Li Qi lowered his head and occasionally raised his thumb in a leisurely manner.
Soon, Yu Qi entered the main hall. He saluted and said: "I, Yu Qi, pay homage to the emperor. Long live my emperor. Long live, long live."
Before he finished speaking, Zhao Kai picked up the memorial in his hand and threw it at Yu Qi's feet, snorting angrily: "Did you hand over this memorial?"
Yu Qi picked it up and looked at it, bowed and said: "Reporting to the emperor, this was indeed presented by Wei Chen last night."
Zhao Kai looked at Yu Qi angrily and said: "Yunwen has done a good job in the Ordnance Supervision. I have praised him more than once. Why do you want him to leave the Ordnance Supervision? If you don't give me a suitable reason today,
I will punish you for the crime of deceiving the emperor, and you will have no excuses."
Yu Qi replied: "To answer the question to the emperor, it was a coincidence that Quanzi entered the military prison. Quanzi's original intention was just to save his mother, but he never expected that he would stay there for three or four years. However, now Quanzi is almost here."
He has reached a weak age, so my wife hopes that Quanzi can go back to study and take part in the scientific examination. I hope he can get the top prize and honor the ancestors of my Yu family."
"this---."
Zhao Kai raised his eyebrows. The anger on his face softened somewhat. After a while, he said: "Yunwen is now an official of the imperial court---."
Li Qi suddenly said: "Your Majesty, in fact - in fact, Yu Yunwen is not yet a court official, he can only be regarded as a craftsman in the Ordnance Supervision, and at most he is a minor official."
There is a big difference between officials and officials!
"Yes---really?"
Zhao Kai looked a little embarrassed, waved his hand and said: "But based on Yunwen's contribution to our Song Dynasty, I can make an exception and promote him without having to participate in Enke."
Yu Qi said: "Wei Chen thanks the emperor for his kindness on behalf of Quan Zi. It's just that my wife has always been ill in bed, and my wife's lifelong wish is to see Quan Zi's high school champion in her lifetime. Therefore, Wei Chen is still bold.
Please give your permission, Your Majesty."
This is not allowed. Yu Yunwen was the chief designer of the Ordnance Supervision. If he left, it would be a great loss to the Song Dynasty, and it would be immeasurable. But the problem is that Enke is the emperor's signature, and you cannot deprive others of it.
The qualification to take the scientific examination cannot deprive a mother of her expectations for her son.
To be more realistic, if Yu Yunwen is the number one scholar in high school, then Yu Yunwen may become a general, but if he stays in the Ordnance Supervisor, he will be the Ordnance Supervisor at most. When the prospects of the two are compared, it is clear which one is stronger and which one is weaker.
There is nothing wrong with what Yu Qi did.
Zhao Kai felt very embarrassed and said: "Then - what does Yunwen himself mean?"
Yu Qi said: "When Yunwen was young, he didn't understand these things. He was very curious and interested in everything about weapons supervision. However, when he grew up, he found that his childhood playmates were studying hard at home or in school.
, prepare to take the scientific examination, and---and---."
Zhao Kai frowned and said, "And what?"
Yu Qi said: "Moreover, many of his playmates when he was a child said that he was ignorant and unskilled, and practiced some crooked ways and was not useful. Quanzi felt very sad when he heard this, so he also wanted to go back to school and prepare to take the scientific examination.
, I hope that I can enter the official career through the scientific examination, serve the imperial court, and relieve my worries."
Zhao Kai said anxiously: "You are ignorant and have no skills. It is simply nonsense. How can it be true? You asked those people to come to me and say it. It is really unreasonable."
Li Qi almost didn't laugh out loud. He thought to himself, it seems that he is really anxious. This Yu Qi is really a good actor. Well, he has a future.
Yu Qi said: "Your Majesty, please calm down. In fact, Weichen also thinks that the scientific examination is the right way. Moreover, when Weichen first took part in the scientific examination, although he was admitted as a Jinshi, he failed to enter the top three. He has always felt very sorry for this, and Quanzi
He has been talented and smart since he was a child, and Wei Chen has very high expectations for him. I hope he can make up for Wei Chen's original regrets. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."
What he said was reasonable and reasonable. Who wouldn't want his son to take the scientific examination? Why should Yu Qi, who was originally a Jinshi, never let his son be a craftsman for the rest of his life?
Many ministers nodded one after another, and many even spoke out to support Yu Qi, hoping that Zhao Kai would approve it. They are all scholars, and they are well aware of a scholar's expectations for the scientific examination.
If this man could be released, Zhao Kai would have released him long ago. The problem is that he cannot be released, but he could not find a reason. He suddenly glanced at Li Qi and said: "Privy Envoy, you recommended Yu Yunwen to join the weapons inspection.
I wonder what you think about this matter?"
As he spoke, he winked at Li Qi and asked them to find a way to dispel Yu Qi's idea.
Li Qi stood up and said: "Your Majesty, this person must not be let go." (To be continued)
