A group of powerful people from the Xungui family left Rong Mansion full of surprise and shock.
The model learned by the Jia clan surprised them, but the ambition of the elder shocked them.
In particular, the establishment of the Baigong Academy was a stroke of genius, and it was of great reference for noble families in similar situations.
In fact, the situation of each family is similar. The superior living environment and abundant resources make the children of each family unable to bear the torture of studying.
Some disciples even think that practicing martial arts is much more interesting than studying. In addition, the atmosphere of studying family genealogy is very ordinary, which makes the genealogy of various noble families almost become a decoration.
The eldest master's move reminded a lot of powerful people in the noble family.
Since my children are not willing to study, they must have special interests and hobbies, right?
Then cultivate them according to their interests and hobbies, plus the necessary means of livelihood, and with the resources in the hands of the noble families, they can also be nourished and live a stylish life in the future.
The noble families in the capital basically all rose to prominence through martial arts in the founding of the country. The family's academic atmosphere is not good, but the martial arts background is still good. Cultivating some disciples who have the heart to pursue martial arts is also a pretty good way out.
The noble class controls most of the military power, so it is quite easy to arrange for their own capable children.
Excluding these disciples who do not like to study the Four Books and Five Classics, the remaining disciples are naturally good ones who are interested in learning or can concentrate on studying.
There may not be many in number, but as long as they are trained properly, they can basically achieve something. Not to mention the requirements are too high, at least there is a high degree of confidence in being a scholar or even a scholar.
In this way, the descendants of the family, who are both civil and military, and who have learned various skills to make a living, can easily succeed in all walks of life with the support and support of the family's resources. Not to mention the family's development and growth, at least there is no need to
Worry about fading into dust.
Even if a family member commits a crime and the family is completely ruined, at least the children still have a way to make a living and don't have to worry about living worse than a beggar.
All the leaders of the noble family with clear minds have studied the Jia Clan School's school-running policy after calculating the pros and cons.
The pedigree of the noble family in Beijing is no joke. It is not easy to recruit a well-educated scholar, but it is still very easy to recruit a failed candidate. As for the teachers of martial arts and the teachers of Baigong Academy, they are all easy to find.
Of course, there are also some distinguished families who scorn the Jia Clanology model due to their own strength, internal factors within the family, or other reasons.
The eldest master doesn't care about this at all. Are we familiar with each other? What does the success or failure of Ya's family have to do with him?
It doesn't matter if you don't agree with his method of training the next generation of children, as long as Ya doesn't come out and take the initiative to cause trouble, who cares whether Ya is dead or alive.
Of course, there are many families like the Shi family and the Wang family, which are powerful but not very sure about running a school. The leaders of the Shi family and the Wang family took the initiative to come to their door, hoping that their children can go to the Jia family to study.
"it's out of the question!"
The elder categorically rejected it and said angrily: "The Jia family clan science is at the forefront right now, and we must not absorb foreign children on a large scale, otherwise the civil servants will go crazy!"
Shi San was dissatisfied and said: "This is our own business, what does it have to do with those snarky scholars?"
"If you think about where most of those civil servants come from, you'll understand!"
The elder was not angry either, and guided with a smile: "If the Jia Clanology is upgraded, it will definitely cause these guys to attack!"
"Enhou means, academy?"
Shi Laoer followed the elder's guidance and directly revealed the core interests of the civil service group.
"It's the academy!"
The elder nodded and said with a smile: "Most of the civil servants in the imperial court are almost all students of major academies in various provinces. The academies are also the link between them. How can they allow the Jia clan school to become an academy?"
"Hou Enhou, can you explain it more clearly? I'm afraid it's that simple?"
Shi Laosan said impatiently: "Why are you so hesitant in talking?"
"That's what you wanted me to say!"
The elder smiled and said: "I can tell you what you say, but I won't admit that I said those words after you leave the house anyway!"
The words were spoken lightly and did not seem to have any intimidating effect. However, the two princes of the Shi family and an important branch of the Wang family were frightened and did not dare to show any slightness.
"Perhaps the most important function of the academy is to allocate imperial examination quotas!"
Putting away the smile on his face, the elder expressed his guess: "This is my guess. I'm not sure whether it's accurate or not!"
Hiss!
Even so, the Shuanghou of the Shi family and the Wang family branch still couldn't help but take a breath of cold air.
Whatever speculation you may have made, this is most likely true.
"Hou Enhou, this is a big deal. Secretly allocating the places for imperial examinations. Are those civil servants so brave?"
Shi Laosan was a rough man, but he also knew how serious the crime of manipulating the imperial examination admission quota was.
"Who said they secretly allocated admission quotas?"
The elder smiled lightly and said: "It's just that most examiners are familiar with the writing style of students from their own academy, so they deviate slightly even if they are of the same level!"
"That's it, it's quite remarkable!"
Shi Laoer exclaimed: "Look at the admission quotas of those major imperial examination provinces. Most of them are students from various academies, leaving only a little bit of water for the children from poor families!"
"There are many doors in the imperial examination. The academy is the link between a group of literati. It is an area that the civil service group absolutely does not allow outsiders to get involved in!"
The elder sneered and said: "So, if I accept the children of your two families today, in the future, students from the Jia clan will never be able to pass the exam!"
Seeing the disbelief on the faces of several people, the eldest man snorted coldly: "There is no need to confront them openly with open fire, as long as they use some tricks secretly, the Jia clan will have no future after learning!"
Horrible, really terrible!
The two princes of the Shi family and the Wang family were shocked. They originally thought that the Xungui family had great advantages. As long as the children of the family were talented, they could easily enter the officialdom and stand at a high starting point.
But now it seems that the civil service group is no less generous. They control the imperial examination. As long as the next generation is not too bad, they can also easily enter the official career.
"What should we do?"
Shi Laosan said depressedly: "The Shi family does not have the talent to run a school!"
The Wang family branch next to them also nodded in agreement. The Wang family can shout the slogan "It is virtue for a woman to have no talent". It can be imagined how much the Wang family values study.
"It's easy!"
The elder smiled and said: "The Jia family school cannot directly accept the children of your two families. I can help you regulate the rules of the family school. As long as you act according to the rules!"
After hearing this, the two princes of the Shi family and a branch of the Wang family smiled bitterly. The eldest man asked curiously: "Why, you are not happy?"
"It's not that I'm unhappy, it's just that the atmosphere at home is like that!"
Shi Laoer said depressedly: "Except for our two brothers, the clan does not fully agree with increasing resources for clan studies. We brothers are also worried that the clan studies will be good and bad at times, which will delay the future generations!"
: "The Wang family's situation is even worse!"
Wang's side branch smiled bitterly and said: "If we can't supervise the school's operations at all times, I'm afraid the kung fu clan will change in a blink of an eye. It's really embarrassing!"
"Then you two simply join forces and find a remote village outside the city, throw all the children of school age into it, and let the two families send capable personnel to supervise it. How about I take charge of the teachers?"
After just a moment's thought, the elder came up with a solution and asked directly.
"That's a good idea!"
Shi Laosan clapped his hands and laughed, nodded and said: "The children of King Shi and Wang are mixed together, so there is a competitor. If you perform too badly, don't blame the clan for punishing you too harshly!"
Wang's branch also nodded, thinking this was a good idea.
After discussing this, they chatted for a few words and then dispersed.
After everyone left, the elder's eyes became distant and deep, and he chuckled.
An hour later, while working diligently in the Palace of Qianqing, I received a secret report from Dai Quan. I checked it carefully and opened it for browsing if there was no problem.
As he watched, Jin Jin's expression slowly changed.
If the Grand Master, the two Marquises of the Shi family, and the Wang family branch were nearby, they would definitely be able to discover that the contents of the secret report were exactly what the Grand Master told them about the imperial examination.
When the eldest master said this, he shocked the Shi family's twin marquises and the Wang family's branch clan members. They were all shocked by such a hidden method of the civil servant group.
I am also shocked at this time. Although I know that there must be something wrong with the previous imperial examinations, I think that the imperial examinations are generally good.
But after reading the elder's story, Jin's heart suddenly sank to the bottom of his heart. He never expected that the imperial examination, which seemed to be the fairest, had been completely controlled by the civil service group.
The elder's words were not detailed, but the information currently available is not comparable to the elder's.
I have doubts in my heart, and if I recall the several imperial examinations since he took office, I can easily detect the seriousness of the problem.
As the old man said, except for a few accidents, the students who can pass the imperial examination and get Jinshi are almost all students from famous academies.
Among them, the disciples from the famous academies in the south of the Yangtze River are the most outstanding.
It is undeniable that the students taught by these academies do have real talents, and there is nothing wrong with their imperial examination results, but being associated with the academies behind them makes people feel very uncomfortable.
This is the thinking today. Once you have doubts in your heart, everything you look at will be problematic.
It would shock me to think that almost most of the senior civil servants in Da Qi's court came from those famous academies. As the elder said, they formed an alliance of interests with the academies as a link, and also various civil servants.
The origin of factions.
Even though I know that this kind of thing is actually normal, why do I feel so frightened now?
